Who else would ever stay?

Who else is going to love someone like me?

Who else is going to love someone like me that’s marked for death?

Who else is going to be with me when I breathe it all?

Who else would take your place and hold and keep me safe?”

-JEONGHAN-

Jeonghan was tired of being one of the few single people in his friend group. He had zero desire to try online dating like a few friends and all his friends that were girls were already dating one of the other guys in his friend group. He thought maybe if he had a girlfriend or someone for companionship he wouldn’t feel like something is missing in his life.

-

Looking at his computer at the kitchen table his brain was hurting looking at all his banking info. It was coming up on that time if the month when rent was due. Since Jihoon moved out to move in with his girlfriend, Jeonghan and his other roommate Kitten decided to just split the amount of the whole apartment instead of finding another roommate. This was working out but now it’s been six months and Jeonghan is tired of spending so much on rent.

Kitten walked in the door with groceries in hand. She instantly noticed how stressed Jeonghan looked.

“What’s up?” She asked as she set some groceries on the table.

“I think we need to get a roommate. I can’t keep paying this much for rent.”

“Okay that works for me. I just request we maybe find a girl roommate. Also we should probably tell her right away about my job.” Jeonghan assumed Kitten would want a girl roommate. With her being a cam girl he knew having a random man she didn’t know living with them could make things weird. “Wait. Would it be weird if I asked one of my friends I met through Cherry moved in?”

“Is she a camgirl?” Honestly Jeonghan didn’t care what Kitten did for a living. He also didn’t care if another girl who did the same job moved in.

“Yeah she is.”

“That’s fine with me.”

-HER-

Your last roommate you had started making you uncomfortable after finding out about your job. You were in desperate need of a new place to live.

One day when you were out to lunch with Cherry she mentioned having friends that were looking for a roommate. She mentioned one of them being Kitten, a fellow camgirl. You knew right then that would be a good place to live.

You’ve been living with Jeonghan and Kitten for four months now. You and Kitten were already friends and your first reaction when you met Jeonghan was that he's absolutely beautiful.

You learned very quickly they’re both amazing roommates. Jeonghan keeps the apartment very tidy and Kitten loves cooking for you guys. Kitten’s boyfriend Joshua is often at the apartment. He’s best friends with Jeonghan so he’ll even come over just to hang out with him even if Kitten is busy.

You work at a tech company as a software programmer during the day and at night you stream to make extra money. Work has been absolutely shitty recently and this week all your deadlines have been driving you insane. After getting yelled at by your boss you can’t wait to get home. The moment you walk through the door you instantly notice how quiet the apartment is. Opening your phone you see a text sent to your roommate group chat.

5:32pm

From Kitten <3: I’m not coming home tonight. I’m staying at Shau’s place. I made pasta for lunch and I made you each a container. They’re in the fridge for you.

From Jeonghan: thank you. I’m heading home soon. I carpooled with Hao to work.

From you: if anyone needs me I’m getting wine drunk. I had a shitty day at work.

5:37pm

From Jeonghan: don’t get wasted before I get there. I’ll get wine drunk with you.

Walking into the apartment Jeonghan finds you sitting on the couch in your pajamas with a large glass of wine in your hands. You’re dressed in a pair of sweatpants and an oversized shirt.

Jeonghan sits his work bag down by the door and slips off his shoes.

“That’s a lot of wine,” he says walking closer to you.

“I had a shitty day,” you raise your glass at him.

“Let me get out of this work clothes.” He heads off to his room and comes back in a pair of sweats and baggy shirt.

He heads off to the kitchen and comes back with a wine glass for himself. He pours himself a big glass of red wine and sits down next to you.

“Am I crazy if I quit my tech job?” This week feels like it’s been absolutely eating you alive trying to maintain your nine to five job. You take another big drink of wine.

“Not necessarily. I don’t know how inappropriate this is to ask but do you make enough on your lives to afford to get by?” You know Jeonghan is one of the few people you can have that conversation with. He knows all about how being a full time camgirl works because of Kitten.

“Honestly I make enough to live comfortably. In all reality if I quit my tech job I could probably focus more on streaming and making my subscribers only page make even more money.” You’ve been thinking about this for a while, you've just never mentioned it to anyone.

“You’re pretty miserable at your tech job aren’t you?” He’s seen you so stressed out you started crying last week. Jeonghan is very aware of how much you hate your job.

“I fucking hate it,” you sigh.

“If you think you make enough steaming, I say do it. If you have a rough month with money. I can help you figure out rent.” Jeonghan has been so nice to you since the moment you met him. You can’t believe he’s willing to help you with money if things get tough.

“I’m gonna tell them Monday I’m quitting,” you can’t help but smile.

“I think you’re going to be so much happier.”

Taking a big sip of wine you instantly feel relieved. You can’t wait to no longer work a nine to five job.

“Did you already heat up Kitten’s food she made for us?”

“No.”

Reaching over his pats your thigh, and lets out a soft laugh. “Maybe we should eat something before we drink our weight in red wine.”

Getting up he goes into the kitchen and starts warming up the food your roommate left. Sitting at the kitchen table you pour yourself another large glass of wine. He places the food on the table in front of you. Before sitting down across from you.

The food is absolutely delicious. Just like it always is when Kitten makes anything.

“Did you wanna watch something in the living room together?” He asked picking up your empty bowl.

“Sure.”

Sitting back down on the couch you take another big drink of wine before sitting your glass down on the coffee table. Jeonghan turns on a drama he’s been watching before he gets comfortable next to you on the couch. It’s not uncommon for you to practically cuddle leaning against each other on the couch.

His arm is over your shoulder as you lean against him. The whole time his show is playing you aren’t really paying attention. Even the red wine can’t seem to stop your over thinking about work. Without even thinking you pick the little lent pieces that are on the thigh if Jeonghan’s sweats. He doesn’t say anything but you feel his thigh flex under your touch.

He takes a deep breath. Glancing up you see he’s no longer watching the tv, he’s eyes are trained on you.

“Sorry,” you pulled your hand away feeling instantly embarrassed.

He doesn’t say anything, he just stares at you blinking. The air feels heavy. Without even thinking you go back to playing with the fabric of his sweats. Your hand travels towards the inside of his thighs almost testing the waters. The sound of him swallowing loudly tells you you’re playing a dangerous game.

“Do you want me to stop?” You whisper not even sure if your voice is fully audible. Maybe it’s the red wine in your veins making you bold enough to make a move on your roommate.

“No,” he voice is clear as day.

Your hand slides up his thigh. The growing bulge in his sweatpants is a clear indicator that he’s enjoying this. “Can I touch you?”

“Yes.”

Slowly your hand slides up his thigh. Stopping just at his bulge. Your eyes stay locked on his as you cup his bulge. He’s a little bigger than average size by the feel of it. A low moan passes his lips as you feel him up.

Your eyes stayed locked on him as you groped him. He’s so hard in your hand and straining against his sweatpants.

“Hannie,” you whisper.

“Yes?”

“Are you sober?” You want to make sure he’s fully aware of what is happening.

“I was barely tipsy. Are you sober?” He looks so gentle suddenly.

“I’m just tad tipsy.” You don’t stop touching him as you speak. “But I want this.” You have thought about touching him for weeks.

“Can I please kiss you?”

“Please.”

Without another word he removes your hand from him and pulls your pilant body on to his lap. His straining erection is pressed up against your clothed core. Resting his hand on your cheek he drags his thumb across your bottom lip. Rolling your hips against his for some friction, a soft moan passes your lips.

The first time your lips touch in a tipsy state it feels sobering. The feeling of Jeonghan’s soft lips against yours gives you butterflies. He’s holding your face in his hands slowly he pulls away and smiles at you.

“I have wanted to kiss you for a while.” His voice is low. There’s no words you can think say. Crashing your lips into his once again for a heated kiss.

“I wondered what it was like to kiss you.” His hands grip your hips and guide your body against his. After your shitty day at work you didn’t think it would end with you dry humping your roommate while you make out.

“You’re so fucking hot,” he groans as his lips start kissing your jaw.

Rolling your hips against his erection you can feel your panties starting to stick to your wet core. “Hannie, can you fuck me?” You moan.

Pulling away from you, he rolls his head back moaning. “I want to so badly.”

Crawling off his lap you quickly remove your sleep shorts and your wet panties. His eyes stay locked on your pussy. It is clearly wet with need. You hope he doesn’t mind that you aren’t shaved bare. Since you started streaming you realized you didn’t need to wax all the time. Men tended to like you like that. He swallows watching you for a moment before he takes this as his cue to remove his sweats and boxers.

The sight of his cock is absolutely mouth watering. His cock is just as pretty as you thought it would be. It’s a little bigger than the average man. It’s a pretty blush color, and curves up towards him. The base of him has a well kept patch of pubes with a little happy trail.

Crawling onto his lap you nestle his length between your folds.

“Can I take this off?” He messes with the hem of your baggy shirt.

“Yes,” you sigh.

He pulls off your shirts and marvels at the fact you aren’t wearing a bra. “Can you take yours off?” Silently he follows your request.

You’re both completely naked sitting on your living room coach. Rolling your hips, his cock slides through your folds. Everytime his mushroom tip brushes your clit you can’t help but gasp.

“Should I get a condom?” He moans taking your breast in his hand. His hands knead your flesh.

“I’m clean and have an iud.”

“Where did you want me to finish?” He plays with your nipples, tweaking them between two fingers.

“Wherever you want. I would prefer you fill me up.”

“Are you asking me to come inside you?” He looks completely caught off guard by your request.

“Please,” you practically beg.

“Okay baby.”

Your lips move together as you slowly sink down on his length. Your fingers tangle in his blonde hair holding him close. Lifting your hips you keep a slow pace. Each time you roll your hips forward you clit brushes against his pubic bone earning a moan.

Your nose brushes his as your lips are so close to touching. The only sounds in the room are the soft moans, and pants. His lips connect to your neck leaving open mouth kisses.

The way his cock is curved his brushing against the spot inside you that has you seeing stars.

“You feel so good,” he moans. “You’re so tight.”

As you move your body up and down his length you can’t really think straight. You're lost in a lust filled haze. It feels like he was made for you. His cock hits the perfect spot inside of you.

The coil in your stomach tightens more and more with each thrust. His hands grip your sides helping you move. Suddenly the coil snaps and a white hot wave washes over you.

Moaning his name like a prayer. He starts lifting his hips helping you ride out your orgasm.

-JEONGHAN-

“Can I cum inside you?” He begs. He’s desperate and sounds like he’s on the verge of falling apart.

“Please fill me up.”

His hands grip your hips as he chases his release. Your walls contract around him as another orgasm follows, milking his cock. Thick white ropes fill you to the brim. He doesn’t think he’s ever come this much in his life. Looking into your eyes for a moment he feels like this was supposed to happen. He doesn’t know how he ever was to survive not touching you.

-HER-

You stop moving, leaning against him. Your face rest in the crook of his neck. You press open mouth wet kisses to the delicate skin on his neck.

“That was unexpected.” Gently he rubs your back.

“That was amazing.” You murmured against his skin.

“I need to clean you up and make sure my cum doesn’t get on the couch. Kitten might kill us if we stained this couch.”

Standing up your legs feel like jello. Looking down between your legs you watch as Jeonghan cum starts trickling down your thigh. Without even thinking his grabs his shirt and gently wipes away his release. Grabbing your hand he takes you to the bathroom where he sits you on the counter and wipes way any cum that is leaking out.

Standing between you legs his hand rest on your cheek. “You’re so pretty.”

“You sure know how to make a girl feel good.”

“The only girl I have ever wanted to make feel good is you.” Leaning forward he presses his lips to yours for a gentle kiss.

Everything feels like it makes sense right now. There isn’t any awkward tension or any feelings of regret. He helps you off the counter and without even asking takes you to his room. He pulls you close to his body and presses another kiss to your forehead.

- JEONGHAN-

“Can I ask you something that might be a little too intrusive?”

You’re naked in his bed you aren’t sure what he could possibly be worried about asking you. “Go for it?”

“What kind of stuff do you film?”

“You’ve never looked up my account?” You’ve mentioned your username before. You just kinda assumed he would investigate. Some of your other friends have. Hell even your last roommate did.

“Never. I’ve never looked up Kitten or Cherry either. It just felt like an invasion of privacy. Also I don’t think it’s really fair to Shau or Jun if I looked up their partners.”

“Do you think any of the boys have looked me up?” Jeonghan's whole friend group basically knows about your job. You found out when Cherry started seeing Jun she slowly let the friend group know and Kitten’s secret had slowly gotten out as well as she felt more comfortable letting close friends know.

“No none of them have. They all just see it as a normal job.”

“I film a lot of solo stuff with toys. I back in the day used to film with this guy I was casually seeing but he never fucked me on camera. I just used to film giving him head. Things with us ended when he got a serious girlfriend.”

“Would you ever film with someone again?” He can’t lie, he's curious. He is one of the only people Jun has told about filming with girlfriend. He knows Jun films with Cherry all the time but makes sure his face is never seen.

“I wouldn’t be against it. It has to be the right person. I need to make sure I trust them.”

He looks up at the ceiling. He doesn’t know why he’s suddenly so interested in the possibility of filming with you. He’s never had a desire to preform sexual acts in camera. But there is something about you that he’s interested in doing it with you.

“Would you trust me?”

Knitting your brows together you stare at him for a long moment. “I do trust you.” Lacing his fingers with yours he squeezes your hand gently. “Did you want to film with me?”

“I’m quite interested.”

“Have you talked to Jun?”

“Yeah he told me about his anonymous filming he does. It piqued my interest, but I don’t want you to think I slept with you because of that.” He’s suddenly worried you’re going to think he’s a creep.

“Last time I checked I started this when I was messing with your sweatpants,” you let out a little laugh. “If you were interested in filming with me. We could try whatever you’re comfortable doing.”

“I think I want to try at least once.”

-HER-

When morning comes you're reminded you’re in Jeonghan bed when you feel his morning wood poking your butt. His arm tights around your waist letting you know he’s awake.

“Hannie.”

“Baby,” he groans, pushing his dick further against your butt. His hand moved down your stomach. His hand cups your pussy. His finger dips between your folds earning a moan. “I want you again,” he groans.

“You can have me,” you moan.

“Are you going to put it in?”

“Do you want me to fuck you again?”

“Please, Hannie.”

He pushes your leg forward to give himself better access to your core. “Do I need to get a condom?”

“No want you raw,” you moan. He’s grinding against your core, making you feel like you’re going insane.

Slowly he pushes into you. He’s hitting a different angle than last night. “This might be the best way to wake up,” he groans. “You feel even tighter from this angle.”

It doesn’t take long before you fall apart moaning his name. The feeling of him finishing inside you is intoxicating. You understand why people have creampie kink. You’ve never fucked anyone on camera before, but now you can’t get the thought of Jeonghan fucking you on camera out of your mind.

Walking out of Jeonghan room dressed in a pair of his sweats and baggy shirt. He takes your hand in his before pressing his lips to your cheek.

“Hannie?”

“Yeah?”

“Maybe we don’t tell Kitten right away. Especially if we’re gonna film together.”

“Okay that works for me.”

-

You have officially quit your job and have decided to fully focus on being a camgirl.

After that night you and Jeonghan first slept together things between you have definitely changed. It feels like you’re definitely together but you’re sneaking around. Neither of you are ready for Kitten to know or any of your friends. You haven’t had a chance to film together yet, but Jeonghan sat in your room last night while you were filming. He sat on the other side of the camera. His hand stroking his length mimicking the speed you’re thrusting your sparkly blue dildo into yourself.

Him being in the room while you’re filming is absolutely thrilling. It’s intoxicating knowing that no one knows what’s happening other than the two of you.

After filming you always take a nice hot shower and the addition of Jeonghan joining you is welcomed. He massages mango scented shampoo into your hair.

“I like watching you film,” he says, breaking the comfortable silence that has formed between you.

“I liked you watching.”

“Did you still wanna go out to the bar with Seungcheol, Darling, Honey, Wonwoo, Chan and Minghao?”

“Oh yeah I’ll go. I think Shau is coming over here. Kitten mentioned wanting to film. We could give them some privacy.” He taps your butt signaling for you to turn around to rinse your hair.

You spend the rest of the shower not doing anything sexual. Jeonghan finishes washing your hair, and you help wash his hair before getting out. Each of you go to your seperate room to get dressed and get ready to go out.

Walking out into the living room you find Joshua sitting on the couch talking to Jeonghan. Kitten pops out of the kitchen holding a bottle of water.

“Are you guys meeting Cheol at the bar?” Joshua asked.

“Yeah Cheol was saying it’s been too long since we all met up for beers.”

“(Y/N) are you going?” Kitten asked.

“Yeah Jeonghan said we can use this to celebrate me being free from my job.”

“That means you should get wasted. Hannie can take care of you,” Joshua says, patting your roommate on the shoulder.

“Hannie take care of our girl,” Kitten says as she walks over and holds her hand out signaling her boyfriend to stand up.

“I always take care of her,” Jeonghan’s words have a double meaning that neither of them catch.

Jeonghan drives you to the bar telling you that he would be designated driver that you could let loose and have fun.

As soon as you arrive Darling and Honey pull you away saying they want to do shots to celebrate you quitting.

-JEONGHAN-

Standing at the bar Jeonghan is ordering himself a beer, and you a drink. Seungcheol walks up patting him on the back.

“I’m glad you brought (Y/N) with you. Darling and Honey seem to love her.” Seungcheol says before taking a sip of his beer.

“She’s great. She just quit her tech job so I told her this would be a good way to celebrate.” The bartender puts two drinks down in front of him, and Jeonghan hands him his card to pay.

“I take it that means she’s going to work full time doing the same thing as Kitten and Cherry?” It’s funny all the boys know now that Kitten and Cherry are camgirl but they’re all really respectful about it and never directly say what their jobs is.

“Yeah she makes good money doing it. She was absolutely miserable at her tech job. I can’t count the number of times she came home crying from work.” Jeonghan hated seeing you upset.

“You know I think she’s a good fit for the group. She gets along with all boys and the girls adore her. It’s a bonus that she understands and relates to Kitten and Cherry.” Seungcheol says.

“I think with Jun seeing Cherry and her being open about her job made Kitten feel more comfortable letting everyone know.” Jeonghan remembers when Kitten awkwardly told him about her job. She seemed so worried that Jeonghan would be upset or judge her, but he honestly didn’t care. He’s always been a very sex positive person, and if his roommate could make a living being a cam girl he would never judge her. He wouldn’t ever judge you either. Your job didn’t define you. He was quite interested in your job though, and wanted to explore aspects of it with you.

Seungcheol clears his throat, catching his attention. “You zoned out on me.”

“Sorry I was just thinking.” He stares at his drink before taking a sip.

“Why don’t you go take (Y/N) her drink?”

Walking over he interrupts your conversation with the girls to hand your drink. He wants to give you time to catch up with the girls. Walking over he joins Wonwoo and Minghao at the pool table.

The moment Chan joins the boys at the pool table he’s already in full gear complaining about his coworker. Jeonghan gets an earful about the new girl that is making Chan’s life, as he says “a living hell.” That’s probably because they’re competing for the same promotion.

Minghao just shakes his head before taking a drink of his beer. Seungcheol soon joins the rest of the boys after bugging his girlfriend who seems more interested in catching up with the girls.

The whole time boys are playing pool he can’t seem to fully focus on the game. He keeps glancing over at you.

“You’re not nearly as competitive tonight as you normally are,” Wonwoo bumps him. Jeonghan glances up at his friend. He’s trying to be subtle about the fact he can only focus on you.

“I got a lot on my mind.”

“Maybe, your roommate can help with that.”

“Wonwoo-“

“I’m just messing with you. I know you’ve had a crush for a while.”

“Let’s not talk about this,” Jeonghan doesn’t need any of the boys in his business. Especially since he hasn’t properly talked about what is going on between you.

The girls rush over with a tray of shots. Jeonghan passes on taking one knowing he needs to drive you home. He watches as everyone toast to you quitting your job.

As the night goes on Jeonghan watches as you, Chan, and Darling get absolutely wasted. Honey is quite drunk but nowhere on the level of the others. He doesn’t think he’s ever seen you this drunk. There is something so cute about how fluster you get in this drunken state.

Seungcheol is taking care of his girlfriend who is even more clingy than normal.

Chan is fighting with Wonwoo about not wanting to go home.

“I need to take Chan home,” Wonwoo says, holding the wrist of his very drunk friend.

“I’ll ride with you guys to help,” Minghao chimes in.

“Wonwoo, can you hold my hand?” Honey asked, walking up to her boyfriend.

“I need to get my own drunk one back to my place,” Seungcheol says, holding his girlfriend’s hand.

Leaning into Jeonghan you wrap your arms around his waist holding him. “Hannie, are you going to take me home?”

He leans down pressing his lips to the top of your head, “yes, angel.”

Taking your hand he leads out of the bar and helps you into his car. After buckling you in he starts heading home. Leaning your head against the cool glass window. Reaching over he rests his hand on your thigh.

“Hannie?”

“Yes angel?”

“Thank you,” you murmur, sounding like you’re trying not to fall asleep.

“For what?” He glances over at you trying to focus on the road.

“For being my person.”

“You’re my person too,” he gently squeezes your thigh.

Arriving home he helps you into the elevator. He notices the apartment is quite quiet but he can hear the sound of music lightly playing in Kitten’s room.

“Your bed or mine?” He asked.

“Mine but will you sleep with me? I wanna cuddle.” He had zero intention of letting you sleep alone. In your drunken state he wanted to make sure you were safe.

“Of course.”

He leads you off to the bathroom where he sits you on the toilet and uses one of your makeup wipes and helps you clean your face. Once in your room he helps you strip down to just your underwear. He even helps you remove your bra you were complaining about. He hands you a baggy shirt he knows you love to sleep in. He doesn’t bother going to his room to get his pajama pants. He strips down to his boxers and joins you under the covers.

Curling up on your side he can tell you’re barely awake. He turns off the light on the nightstand on his side of the bed. He curls up behind you spooning you. This is quite possibly his favorite way to fall asleep. He is never more comfortable than when he is holding you.

“Night Hannie,” you whisper.

“Goodnight baby.”

He doesn’t fall asleep as quickly as you. He can’t seem to shut off his mind. He doesn’t understand how one person can make him feel so many emotions like you do.

When sleep finally finds him, he only dreams of you.

-HER-

It’s been two months since the first time you slept together, the first of many times. Since then Jeonghan has brought up filming with you a few times. Recently he’s been enjoying being in the room masturbating with you off screen.

Today is the day he finally asked if he could officially go on your stream with you.

“Maybe pull your hair back so it looks short and wear a face mask in case any of you face shows.” You think it’s best if he stays anonymous as possible. Especially if it ends up being a one time thing.

“Okay.” He works on pulling his hair back.

“If you don’t want to do this I fully understand,” you want to give him an opportunity to back out.

“I want to do this.”

“How do you want to do this?” You need to know what his boundaries are. You’re willing to do anything he feels comfortable doing. You know with Junhui and Cherry he stays fully dressed and plays with her on camera. She’s mentioned they filmed a full sex tape before but she decided against posting it. You aren’t sure if you would ever feel comfortable posting one of those, but if you trust anyone enough to film a full sex tape it would be Jeonghan.

“Maybe the first time you give me head and I’ll finger you.” He seems a little nervous and you don’t blame him. Your first time you went live you were nervous too.

“I’m going to suggest you talk dirty to me while I give you head. People eat that up.”

Jeonghan sits on the bed and you make sure the camera isn’t showing his face. You adjust the camera so no matter where he sits it should only show him from the neck down.

You start your stream and sit on the bed next to him. You’re dressed in a see through lavender bra and crotchless panties.

You greet your audience and tell them you have a mystery friend helping you. All the comments are instantly excited that you have brought someone to film with you. Some of the requests people are leaving are asking him to do wild things to you.

Leaning over you whisper in his ear, “act like it’s just us two.”

He nods silently. Standing up he removes his underwear and sits on the chair angled in front of the camera. The angle makes it where you only see the bottom of his jaw that is covered by a mask. Slowly he strokes his length as you crawl towards him.

“Such a pretty cock,” you say as you sit on your knees in front of him. The sight of him naked on the chair in front of you is mouth watering.

Putting his hand under your chin he tilts your head up. “Are you going to be a good girl for me and suck it?”

“I want you to fuck my mouth.” He groans at your dirty words. You never talk like this to him when you’re fooling around.

Sticking your tongue out you stare at him through your lashes. Tapping his dick against your tongue. You smile as he pulls away. Neither of you are normally like this in bed together and this kind of feels like you’re role playing. This whole scenario is exciting.

“Open,” he commands.

Placing the tip of his dick in your mouth you instantly start sucking him. His dark eyes stay locked on you as you focus on taking him further in your mouth. One hand rests on his thigh steadying yourself while the other pumps his neglected shaft. Your focus is on his sensitive tip right now.

Hollowing your cheeks you take him all the way in. Thank god you don’t really have a gag reflex as he brushes the back of your throat. Looking up at him with watery eyes you wish you could see his whole face. His hands brush your hair away from your face. Making a makeshift ponytail with his hand.

“Such a good girl,” he moans.

He is not even touching you and he’s making you wet. You don’t think you’ve ever cum fully untouched, but today might be the day.

Popping off him you smile up at him taking this moment to properly breathe again. Taking his length in both hands you pump him and focus on his tip again. Tilting his head back he closes his eyes, taking a deep breath.

Taking him back into your mouth you take him until your nose brushes against his will trimmed patch of pubic hair. His stomach muscles tense as he’s on the brink of falling apart.

Pulling off him you look at him and say, “are you going to come in my mouth?”

“That depends, are you going to be a good girl and swallow?”

“Anything for you.”

Hollowing your cheeks you take him fully again. His fingers tangled in your hair helping guide you up and down his length. Your eyes are a watery mess as he keeps brushing the back of your throat. The echoing moan of the word “baby”’ takes over your senses as he feels your mouth with his milky release.

You keep sucking until he’s finished and clearly spent. Pulling off of him he rests his hand on your cheek. His thumb brushes your bottom lip wiping away some of his cum.

Opening your mouth you show him cum. You’ve never been a fan of swallowing, but you would do it everyday with him.

“Good girl,” he whispers. Closing your mouth you swallow everything he gave you.

“Can I play with your favorite vibrator?” He asked standing up. Walking off camera he grabs some tissues cleaning himself up.

“Please.”

“Lay on your bed and spread your legs wide for all the nice people to see.”

Crawling on the bed he sits on his knees next to you. Making sure your wet pussy is on full display for everyone watching. He’s attempting to make sure the only part of him that shows is his jaw that is covered by a mask.

Holding the vibrator to your already sensitive clit he starts by pumping one finger. Giving you a chance to adjust before he adds a second. He hooks his long fingers brushing your g spot over. Your body feels tense as the coil in your stomach tightens. At the rate he’s going you're going to fall apart the quickest you ever have.

“Is baby close to cumming?” He says staring into your lust filled eyes. You aren’t sure you can form proper words, you just nod your head.

“Can you take another finger?”

“Yes.”

He stretches you open more, adding another finger. He clicks up the speed of the vibrator practically making you scream.

Your orgasm hits you like a ton of bricks and for the first time ever fluid rushes out of you. Coating Jeonghan’s arm in your release. Your body feels weightless as you lay there trying to breathe.

Looking at Jeonghan you see his arm glistening. You’ve never squirted before and you weren’t even sure you could. Your cheeks instantly flush, feeling quite embarrassed.

“Such a good girl,” he pulls away from your core. He clicked off the vibrator tossing it on your bed.

“That’s all folks,” he walks over and ends your livestream.

Laying there you close your eyes staring up at the ceiling. Slowly sitting up you watch as he removes his face mask and pulls on his boxers before dashing out of your room. He comes back holding a washcloth.

“Baby spread your legs for me. I need to clean you up.”

The warm water cloth against your sensitive core is nice. “I’ve never squirted before.”

“Oh,” he instantly sports a cocky smile.

“I’m gonna need to clean my sheets.” You can’t even think about getting out of bed yet. Your body feels like jello.

“How about you take a shower and I’ll strip your bed and toss your bedding in the washer.”

“Can I sleep in your bed tonight?” Suddenly things feel very deeper between you and you honestly just want him to hold you.

He helps you stand up. He leans down and presses his lips to yours for a gentle kiss. “Of course you can stay in my bed.”

“What if Kitten sees us?” You ask the question that has been on your mind since this all started.

“We don’t have to hide anything. If she sees us I’m okay with that.”

Slowly you sit up and stare at him for a moment. You don’t think you can really keep your feelings out of whatever is happening between you. “Jeonghan, I like you a lot.”

“I like you a lot too. I actually more than like you.” His words instantly give you butterflies. “Go take a shower and we’ll talk more after. Come to my room after.”

Standing under the warm water you can’t seem to shut off your brain. Things suddenly feel so different, but that’s not a bad thing.

-JEONGHAN-

Three little words have been floating around in his head for a while now. He tries to stop thinking about it as he throws your bedding into the washer. When heads to his room he goes through his drawers finding something for you to sleep in. All he can do is picture your face as you lay on your bed completely blissed out.

The bedroom door opens and you walk in with a towel wrapped around you. “Is Kitten with Joshua?”

“Yeah they’re actually at her parents house for dinner.” He forgot to mention that earlier. “I picked out something for you to sleep in.”

“You don’t want to sleep naked?” You give him a smile.

“I mean we can if you want. I was thinking we could get cozy, and talk about some things.”

You take the clothes from him and get dressed, not bothering to get underwear. You’re wearing some of his sleep shorts, and a baggy shirt.”

Sitting on the edge of the bed Jeonghan stands in front of you for a moment before he leans forward and presses his lips to yours for a gentle kiss. “You know for the longest time you seem to be the only thing I can think about?” His heart swells instantly when he sees you smile at his words.

“Is that a good or a bad thing?”

“It’s very good. You make me so incredibly happy.” He smiles.

“Jeonghan, you make me happy.”

Sitting down on the bed next to you. Taking your hand in his he squeezes it three times. “Hannie-“

“Yes Angel?”

“You truly are my person. I like you so much.” You suddenly feel like crying. They aren’t sad tears. They’re anything but. “You're the first person I’ve ever been that doesn’t make me feel like I’m some slut for my job.”

“Don’t ever call yourself that.” He chimes in.

“I don’t think I am one. I just need you to know. You make me feel so normal.”

The smile on his face is heartwarming. “You know I watched Shau and Kitten figure out their shit. They went from friends to being head over heels for each other. I even watched Wonwoo fall for Honey. And I even saw the other boys find their girlfriends. I was always so jealous wishing that I would know what it’s like to find companionship like theirs and to fall hopelessly in love.” He pauses, reaching up and resting his hand on your cheek. “And then I met you. Everything suddenly felt like it clicked when you moved in. The moment we met I had a feeling I was going to love you.”

Tears start sliding down your cheek. “Yoon Jeonghan, is this your way of telling me you love me?”

“Absolutely,” his thumb brushes the tears staining your cheek.

“I remember when Kitten introduced us. I thought you were so beautiful and I knew I was royalty fucked.” A soft laugh passes your lips. “I love you too, by the way.”

“I should properly say, I love you.” He leans over and presses his lips to your for a soft kiss.

“Does this mean we’re officially a couple?” You think that it’s time you put a label on this.

“Angel have been my girlfriend since we fucked on the couch.” He laughs.

“Since the first night we hooked up?”

“Yes. I haven’t stopped thinking about you since.”

“So you’re my boyfriend?”

“Yes, and you’re my girlfriend.”

Holding your face in both hands he leans in pressing his lips to yours for a heated kiss. Your lips move together as if you need each other to breathe. Pulling away he rested his forehead against yours. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

Since the beginning things between you have always made sense. You aren’t shocked that you fell in love with your roommate. It almost seems inevitable.

That night when you finally lose your clothes Jeonghan has you on your stomach with a pillow under your hips. Slowly he rolls his hips into you. He hits a spot deep inside. His thrusts are a little lazier than normal but you feel so incredibly close to him. His lips are over your bare shoulders. Between kisses you hear him whisper, “I love you.”

Both your highs reach you at the same time. Falling apart you moan his name. His thrust grows a little sloppy until he slows down.

He sits back on his knees and watches as his cum slowly starts to drip out of you. His mind feels fuzzy and all he can think about in that moment is how much he likes seeing you filled with him. Running his finger through your sensitive folds, he collects his cum and slowly pushes it back inside you.

He’s surprised you don’t comment on his fascination with pushing his cum back inside you.

“Hannie?”

“Yea Angel?”

“Are you having fun back there?” You tease him.

“Sorry I just like seeing you filled with me cum.” He doesn’t even bother trying to lie.

Crawling off the bed slowly he cleans himself off with a tissue before throwing in boxers and heading off to get a warm cloth to clean you up.

Jeonghan puts back on his sweatpants and you get dressed back in the sleep clothes he picked out for you.

Crawling back into bed a soft yawn passes your lips. Rolling in your side you signal for him to come hold you. The moment he is on the bed he pulls close to him. This feels perfect.

-HER-

When morning comes your wake with your body curled up against Jeonghan’s. Your head resting on his chest and your legs tangled together.

You never sleep better than you do when you’re in his arms. A soft yawn passes his lips as he pulls you closer.

“I need coffee,” his voice is raspy.

“We should get up and make some,” you nuzzle against his chest.

Slowly you both crawl out of his bed. He doesn’t bother putting a shirt on. He’s dressed in a pair of grey sweatpants that sit low on his hips. Holding your hand he leads you out of his room and out to the living room.

“Well I didn’t expect to see this,” Joshua's voice startles both of you.

Both of you stop in your tracks. Kitten pops out of the kitchen and instantly smiles at you and Jeonghan holding hands.

“I can’t say I’m shocked,” Kitten has a huge smile on her face. “You two always flirt and Hannie has always been quite fond of (Y/N).” Glancing up you see Jeonghan is blushing. You squeeze his hand and give him a smile. “Also seemed more touchy than normal.”

Kitten looks instantly happy as she stares at both of you. “So is this like an official thing?”

“I mean I love her and she’s my girlfriend,” Jeonghan responds.

“It’s about time you guys got together.” It turns out even your roommate knew that you were supposed to fall in love with Jeonghan.

Maybe Wonwoo is right when he talks about everyone having their own soulmate. Maybe Jeonghan is yours? You love him so much. He just makes everything feel right in your world.

jerk [2].

because bakugou katsuki is a jerk but he's also unfortunately your soulmate.

a/n: the LARGELY requested part two! honestly, i'd be willing to write more parts if people wanted :) this part ended up being more about the girls and y/ns friendship but i couldn't help myself - if you guys want some fluff with bakugou for future parts, just let me know!

pairing: bakugou katsuki x f!reader

part one. part three.

“You’re hiding something from us.”

There’s a beat of silence, then another, then another and when finally, you realize you should say something, you blink, sputtering out a barely believable; “no i’m not.”

Mina and Jirou glance at each other, then behind them at the rest of the girls, and you feel a layer of sweat build up when you realize all of your female classmates are here, surrounding you, demanding an answer. And you’ve never really been all that good at lying before, it’s how Bakugou was able to figure out the whole “i’m your soulmate thing” rather quickly and it had only taken him as long as it had because, well, it was Bakugou.

So, to put it bluntly, you’re screwed.

“Come on, Y/N,” Mina laughs, “that wasn’t even remotely believable.”

You know it’s written across your face, your eyes wide and your lips parted and you’re sure you look like quite the picture in that moment surrounded by every single female student in your class, a group of girls you considered your friends but were feeling considerably more like your interrogators in that moment. 

But you have to at least try.

“I’m not hiding anything,” you repeat, this time taking special care to make sure your voice is even and somewhat believable. “I’m just… tired. It’s been throwing my balance off. Sorry guys.”

You really are because you have been weird recently and you were hiding things (even if you were desperate for them not to know that) so the sincerity was there and it seems to be enough because they all glance at each other, frowning, and you can literally see the determination fade as Momo speaks up first.

“You have been leaving to train a lot,” she agrees with a solemn nod. “It’s no wonder you’re so tired. But you should still try to get some rest, don’t push yourself so hard.”

You let out a breath of relief, trying not to let it show as some of the girls shuffle back to walk away, until—

“Wait, that reminds me!”

It’s Jirou who calls it out and you feel yourself freeze.

“She hasn’t been training!”

Eyes widening, you turn to look at Jirou. She’s grinning your way, her figure pointed in your direction, clearly pleased she’d caught you in your lie.

“Jirou,” Uraraka calls out, confused. “What are you–”

“Two nights ago when she left to go training, I followed her, thinking we could train together… she wasn’t there.”

They gasp. Literally gasp.

“Now that you mention it,” Froppy nods, finger held to her chin in thought. “I haven’t actually seen her in the gym very often… nor does she look particularly like a person who’s just trained when she comes back.”

Their eyes fall on you and you take a step back.

“Y/N—”

And then you just run.

-

“I can’t believe she just ran!”

“I know!”

“Guys, I’m sure she had her reasons.”

“Who?”

Mina’s lips are left parted at the sound of Kirishima’s voice, all the girls turning to face him in the living room where he’s sat with the rest of the class.

“Y/N,” Mina explains with a huff, falling into the couch dramatically. “She’s been ditching us constantly and always leaving right after we return from class with some excuse. When we tried to ask her about it today, she lied and then when we caught on to her lie, she ran! Literally just bolting down the hallway before we could even blink.”

Kirishima frowns, glancing over to Denki on his left.

“That doesn’t sound like Y/N,” Deku calls out from across the room, head tilted in curiosity. “Especially to lie to you guys.”

“I know!” Mina calls out, throwing her hands up in exasperation. 

“Like I said,” Uraraka speaks up, trying to remain calm. “I’m sure she has her reasons. Maybe something’s wrong…”

“You think she could be in danger?” Shoto asks, quirking a brow. 

Uraraka shrugs; “I don’t know… I hope not.”

Everyone falls silent, worried expressions plastered on their faces.

“Wait, Kirishima… bro.” Denki calls, reaching to shake Kirishima aggressively, to which the red-haired boy swats his hands away, shaking his head.

“What?”

“Hasn’t Bakubro been disappearing a lot too?”

All the girls straighten out.

Kirishima just shakes his head; “Bakugou is always disappearing. You know he doesn’t like hanging with us a lot.”

“No, Denki’s right,” Sero nods, “even if he isn’t hanging with us, he’s usually in his room or in the gym. Recently, he just completely disappears.”

“I guess you’re right…” Kirishima frowns.

“Wait,” Jirou calls out, “what are you saying? That Bakugou is disappearing with Y/N?”

“That’s crazy,” Mina brushes off. “I’ve never even seen the two talk to each other unless they’re forced to–wait.”

Everyone's eyes snap to hers, wide.

“What?”

“You don’t think… no. It’s not possible.”

“Oh my god,” Denki cries out suddenly, leaning forward with a manic look in his eyes. “Bakubro is hurting Y/N!”

“Wait–”

“No way!” Kirishima calls out, turning to Denki. “Bakugou is a lot of things, but he would never hurt somebody intentionally. Especially not a girl. That’s not manly. Right, Midoriya?”

“Right,” Deku nods confidently, before pausing; “I think?”

“Hey!”

“Guys, no!” Mina cuts in, shaking her hands widely before her. “That’s not what I meant.”

“Okay…” Momo nods, “then what?”

She leans in, pausing for dramatic effect. “He could be… her soulmate!”

There’s silence, then, “no way.”

Mina’s face falls; “why not?”

“Bakugou? Having a soulmate?” Jirou snorts, “I doubt that.”

“Everybody has one!”

“Okay, the odds of him actually caring about his soulmate are slim to none,” Froppy offers in response.

“Yeah,” Deku nods, “I've never once seen Kacchan show interest in his soulmate like… ever.”

Kirishima shakes his head; “even I have to admit that’s so not manly.”

Everyone shuffles around agreements but Mina is quick to argue; “have any of you guys ever seen Bakugou’s soulmate mark?” Slowly, one by one, all glancing at each other, the guys shake their heads. Mina then turns to the girls. “Okay, have any of you ever seen Y/N’s? Cause she’s never shown or told me.”

The girls all shake their heads.

“So how can you really know?” Mina raises a brow, “I mean, Y/N is always so secretive about her mark. She refuses to tell me.”

-

“Bakugou, we have—”

“Katsuki.”

Coming to a sharp halt, lips left parted, you blink up at Bakugou.

With a grin, Bakugou gently shuts your mouth with a hand to your jaw, laughing lightly; “say Katsuki. That’s my name.”

You can feel your cheeks warm, profusely, and a burst of heat flood through you as you pull yourself from his touch, avoiding his gaze. “Katsuki,” you oblige with a huff and a pout. “We have a problem.”

“Yes?” Bakugou asks, raising a brow your way as he lowers the weight’s he’d been lifting.

“The girls are onto us!”

Bakugou just stares down at you. “What does that mean?”

Exasperated at his obliviousness, you huff, stretching your hands out before you for emphasis as you stare up at him, wide-eyed. “They know I’ve been disappearing after class a lot. I tried to tell them I was training, which I guess we usually are but Jirou caught on to that being a lie too and now they’re onto us!”

Bakugou just blinks. “But what do you mean onto us?”

You let out a cry; “Katsuki! They’re gonna know we’re soulmates!”

“So?”

Pressing a hand to your face, you can’t believe your situation. Not only were the girls onto you, they knew you were lying, which made you feel awful and if they found out that you’d been spending all your time with Bakugou… well that was bound to bring up more questions. Questions you wouldn’t be able to avoid. Questions that would ultimately lead to them finding out Bakugou was your soulmate.

A hand gently reaches for your wrists, pulling your hands away from your face as Bakugou crouches to meet your eyes directly. 

“Why is it such a big deal?” He asks gently, an odd tone that you’re still not used to hearing from Bakugou yet. His face remains neutral but there’s patience lingering in his eyes as he waits for you to explain why you’re so upset.

And you do. Your lips part and the words are at the tip of your tongue until, suddenly, you can’t say anything.

Nothing leaves your lips.

“Y/N?”

“I…—”

“You don’t want them to know?”

Blinking, you bite your lip. “It’s not that, it’s just…” But again, you can’t find the words.

“You don’t trust them?”

“Of course I do,” you argue instantly, “they’re my best friends.”

“Okay…” he says slowly, and then his face twists, “are you… embarrassed of me?”

Meeting his gaze, you frown. “...No,” you whisper, and you mean the words.

“Then what’s the problem?”

“I…” Shoulders falling, you frown. “Nothing… I guess.”

“So,” he says, “let them find out!”

Sputtering, you lean back; “it’s not like you’ve told Kirishima or any of the other guys!”

“It’s none of their business,” Bakugou shrugs, letting go of your wrists to set his hand on your head. “But if it makes you feel better, I'll tell them.”

You find yourself silent with disbelief once again, Bakugou’s words echoing in your mind paired with the look in his eyes. Just staring down at you.

Looking at you.

Like you’re his whole world.

-

“I’m sorry.”

They blink at you.

“I’m sorry about running away yesterday.”

Another blink.

“And I'm sorry I’ve been lying to you guys for the past few weeks.”

Slowly, all the girls glance at each other, trying to gauge the situation, before Uraraka is the first to speak up.

“It’s okay,” she assures with a smile, setting her hand on your shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze. “We appreciate you apologizing. We were just worried.”

“We wanna make sure you’re okay,” Jirou adds, smiling shyly at you. 

You take a look at all of their faces, seeing the sincerity staring back at you, before settling on Mina who still has a hint of hurt in her eyes but there’s also hope.

Well, here goes nothing.

“Bakugou’s my soulmate.”

Silence echoes, once again, before.

“What?”

“I knew it!”

“Bakugou!?”

There’s a mix of words, gasps of disbelief and shouts of question thrown out at you as all the girls rush towards you, swarming you, desperate for answers.

You laugh a little at their reaction, and that catches their attention.

“Y/N?” Mina asks, confused.

“I’ve been sneaking off to see him,” you explain to her, meeting her gaze, before letting your gaze drift. “I didn’t say anything because I’m still adjusting to it myself and I still don’t know how to feel about it. But I realized it isn’t fair to lie to you guys like that and that I want you guys to know because you matter so much to me.”

“Y/N…” Uraraka mumbles, tears welling in her eyes.

Her expression mimics many of the other girls before suddenly there’s a body slamming against your own, arms wrapping tightly around your waist as you stumble back, trying to catch your footing.

“Oh. My. God!” Mina screams, you wincing at the sheer volume, as she pulls back, grinning brightly at you. “You have to tell us everything!”

-

The next morning, you’re sitting at the island in the kitchen eating breakfast, chatting to Mina, Jirou and Kirishima. The rest of the students trickle by, some making breakfast, some in the living room, all in their own conversations, until suddenly it all stops.

It takes you a moment to realize Kirishima, Mina and Jirou are no longer listening to you, head turned to their right and following their gaze, curious, you blink when you realize it’s Bakugou they’re staring at. It’s not like he’s doing anything particularly odd, nothing except for the fact that his gaze is directed on you and he’s heading straight for you and then suddenly, he’s right in front of you.

His gaze drifts from you, to your plate, back to you; “who made you that?”

“Nobody,” you say slowly, still stunned. “I made it.”

He’s grabbing the plate before you can say anything else, pressing a kiss to your forehead that has your cheeks burning before turning and making his way to the fridge.

“I’ll make you something better,” is all he says in explanation.

Your gaze slowly drifts from him to Mina and Jirou who are grinning widely at you, before there’s the shout of;

“Did Bakubro just kiss Y/N?!”

“And offer to make her breakfast!”

“Wait,” Kirishima suddenly calls after Sero and Denki, turning to Mina and Jirou, “why are two grinning!?”

“All the girls are!” Deku exclaims, pointing at Uraraka and Froppy in front of him.

“You guys knew?”

“Of course,” Mina grins, sending a wink Kirishima’s way before shrugging. “Isn’t that right, Bakugou? You and Y/N are soulmates!”

Everyone expects him to ignore her or tell her to shut up, but instead, he pauses in what he’d been doing (cracking an egg for you), turning his head over his shoulders to meet your gaze before smirking. 

“That’s right.”

And chaos follows.

Utter and complete chaos.

Pretty As A Picture - Chapter 4

Marvel

Pairing: Steve Rogers x reader x Bucky Barnes

Theme: Soulmates - Feeling the connection as soon as you see each other.

Summary: When Bucky fell from the train, their soulmate was told he was gone. When Steve Rogers disappeared into the ice, their soulmate was again told one of her soulmates were gone. But she didn't believe it. Couldn't believe it. Committed to a mental health institute, she dies of a broken heart. That's at least what the hidden S.H.I.E.LD files say, but if that's the case than why is there a photo of her. A photo that shows her side by side two redhaired Avengers.

Warnings will be per chapter.

For this fic reader will be British, but let your imagination replace if needed.

Chapter Summary: The team try to piece together everything together and Steve needs answers.

Chapter Warning: Sad Steve, sad Bucky, talk of death mental illness, electric shock treatment, and attempted sexual violence (not in detail).

The ringing of an incoming call, allowed Nat a moment’s reprieve.

“It’s Clint, I made him aware. Thought he should be part of this. He is part of our family after all.” Tony spoke, looking at Steve for permission to connect the call. Steve nodded and Tony answered tapping his phone to share the projection of Clint and Laura, the latter holding baby Nathaniel.

“Please tell me this is some weird prank.” Clint went first.

“You think we’d joke about something like this?” Steve snapped.

“No, of course not.” Laura replied, elbowing Clint, “but I think I speak for both of us when I say, what the fuck you guys.”

A little voice in the background shouted ‘language’ but didn’t get the usual laughter.

“Romanoff I don’t want to have to ask you again. Start talking.”

“I met her when she worked for British Intelligence. Clint introduced us.”

“So you knew her first?” Sam asked, directly his question at Clint on the screen.

“I did. She was an analyst initially, one of the best, if not the best. Still is.”

“So, she’s British?” Asked Rhodey.

“She is.” Answered Nat.

“Was she then?” Rhodey asked Steve and he nodded his reply.

“Man, what type of dumb question is that? You can’t change nationalities.” Sam asked.

“Actually Samuel, you can, not your birth place of course but when residing….”

“Vis not now.” Wanda said.

Pepper decided at this moment to take a handle of things as she watched Steve’s annoyance grow.

“Why don’t we go one at a time? Clint, so you met her first?”

“Yeah, initially just over comms, as part of the partnership between the different agencies but it was clear early on how good she was. The last mission Laura did, we, well we found out on the mission that Laura was pregnant. We were chasing some arms dealer in Greece that had decided to start manufacturing chemicals to control people.  Masses of people. We ran into some trouble. The extraction team were too far out and we were in pretty deep. I thought ‘this is it’, I’d taken my soulmate and my unborn child into a death trap, and then the sprinklers came on, and some 90s boy band starts coming out the speakers of the warehouse. It gave us a hint of time, just seconds to get the upper hand. We stole one of the ingredients so they couldn’t manufacture it and ran. A mile down the road there’s a pay phone ringing. It’s her. Telling us the S.H.I.E.L.D analysts were ‘shockingly shit��� and she’d dialled in and taken over. She directed us to a drain, told us the route to take. When we came up at the exit point, the SAS was there to extract us.”

“Holy shit. I don’t think I know anyone who can just call up the SAS like that, not even their own, not even us.” Sam added.

“She can, she’s got them wrapped around her finger I swear.” Clint said.

“Well, that’ll be guilt.” Nat muttered.

“What did you say?” Sam asked.

“She said something about guilt.” Bucky said, suddenly speaking up.

“Nat it’s not your place to tell them.” Clint stated firmly.

“Tell us what Romanoff?” Pushed Steve.

Pepper decided to refocus the conversation again.

“Laura, have you met her?”

“I have. She’s godmother to our children. Same as Natasha. She’s our soul sister.”

Steve huffed and leaned back in his chair.

“Nat?” Pushed Pepper.

“I met her over comms the same as they did to start with, Clint introduced us over a video call and then Fury sent me to recruit her.”

“For the Avengers?” Asked Steve.

“Not right away. S.H.I.E.L.D, then the Avengers. First as an analyst, then an agent.”

“I’m taking her lack of presence means she politely declined?” Quipped Tony.

“Not exactly.” Looking around at everyone’s confused faces Nat continued “it wasn’t exactly polite, she told me to fuck off.”

There was a rumble of light laughter.

“Hang on, hang on, she knew who you were?” Rhodey asked trying not to laugh, “she knew you were Natasha Romanoff, former assassin, Black Widow, and the British analyst, she told you to fuck off?”

“Yes Rhodey, she told me to fuck off.”

More amusement passed through the group. Then Laura’s voice.

“Tell them exactly what she said.”

Nat sighed.

“Fine. She said ‘I already told Fury and Barton no, and now I’m going to tell you Romanoff, no, a big fat fucking no, now get your Russian, double agent ass off my desk and fuck right off.’ She also had me escorted out of the building and had 001 revoke my access given to me under the partnership.”

"I like her already."

"Hush Tony."

Steve and Bucky exchanged a look. It definitely sounded like their girl but it also didn’t explain their soulmate being there now.

Bucky was next to speak. His voice still sounding a little broken.

“Was she, erm, like us? Is she like us? Was she frozen?”

“Buck we know she wasn’t, Peggy identified her.” he replied, tapping the file.

“What is this? May I look at this?” Asked Tony.

Steve nodded.

“Do you remember the liaison meetings around the time of the First Accords? A member of each agency was there?” The team nodded. “Well after Peggy’s estate was settled, one the British guys pushed that into my hand and left. It’s all about her, her background info, her career and what happened after us.”

“What happened?” Vision asked.

“Oh god.” Peppers voice interrupted. “Sorry I just.”

She pointed down and Steve could see she was reading the medical papers from when their soulmate was sectioned.

“She was institutionalised. Although the British call it sectioned. She was really insistent that we were both still alive. Kicked up quite a fuss. They had her sedated and shipped back home and put in a mental hospital.”

“They shouldn’t have done that Steve, they should have sent her to Ma like it said in our papers.” Bucky snapped tearfully.

“I know Buck. That’s why Peggy did what she did.”

“What did Agent Carter do exactly?” Asked Vision.

“She tried to get a guardianship.” Tony answered looking at the papers. “Wait, Dad’s name is here.”

“They both did. Your Dad and Peggy, but it was too late. She’d passed before.”

“Because of what they did to her?” Pepper asked.

“What do you mean? What they did to her?” Asked Bruce, finally breaking his silence. Tony glanced up at Steve.

“Can he see this?”

Steve clenched his jaw.

“It might help, that’s all, give us an idea of if she could have survived that.”

“She didn’t but fine.” Steve said through gritted teeth.

The file was passed down to Bruce, whose brow furrowed the moment he opened it.

“Jesus Christ.”

The room stayed silent as Bruce read through the file.

“I’m sorry Steve, Bucky, electric shock treatment of that amount, along with what they gave her, and the Broken Heart Syndrome. It’s unlikely she could have survived that.”

“She didn’t. The next piece of paper is signed by Peggy and Howard. Peggy identified her and registered her death. Howard paid for her funeral.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Tony asked, disappointed in his tone.

“I was going to and then everything else happened. I was going to tell you and ask if you’d help me find the grave.”

“But there isn’t one right? I looked, there was nothing and that’s because she’s alive?” Asked Sam. Steve shook his head.

“May I add something Captain Rogers?” Asked Vision “I believe it may help the others understanding.”

Steve frowned but nodded.

“When Agents and Analyst, anyone above a a certain category joins an intelligence agency they under go testing and that now includes DNA and genetics, along with regular retesting. It would have raised concerns had she have been the age of Captain Rogers and Sergeant Barnes and her identity would have been revealed or at least have led her to S.H.I.E.L.D for investigation not recruitment.”

Tony and Bruce both nodded in agreement.

“Captain Rogers what was the purpose of light implications that Peggy was your soulmate?”

Steve went to speak but was interrupted by Bucky.

“I hated that by the way and so did she.”

“I know Buck but we had to keep her safe.” Steve paused for a moment before continuing, “I found her right before I went looking for Buck. Peggy said we needed two things, a plane and route in. Howard got the plane and our soulmate was the map girl. I felt it the moment I saw her. My luck never was the best and then I find her and it’s in a war zone, I’m about to go on a suicide mission to find my best friend. Our eyes met and I was falling over my feet like the little kid in Brooklyn.”

“He actually did fall over his own damn feet. Our girl had to help him up off the floor.”

The team laughed softly.

“It’s true, that gave your Dad and Peg some laughs.” He said to Tony.

“Tell them the rest.” Bucky smirked.

“I kissed her, practically threw myself at her and kissed her. She was not amused, she was pretty pissed.”

“What was it she said ‘you yanks are all the bloody same’.”

Steve smiled, “Something like that, she pushed me off, told me off and shoved a pair of maps into my hands. Buck met her when he came back to base.”

“I didn’t throw myself at her, as hard as it was not to, and at least brought her a drink first.”

Steve smiled again as Bucky shared his memory before starting again.

“It’s not documented anywhere but when we were out on a mission there was an attack back at the base, a small group of energy agents had snuck in on a delivery truck. One of them went into what we called the War Room, trying to see the plans. Well, that’s what Phillips' first thought. Our girl was in there with another agent who was shot and killed. She got into a scuffle with the enemy agent and disarmed him but he didn’t stop and he tried to hurt her, in the worst way possible. Buck had slipped a pocket knife into her stocking before we left and she used it. Peggy burst in and finished the job. When they searched his body, there was a photo, albeit a bad one but a photo and a description of her. They hadn’t just come to see our plans, they’d come for her.”

“That’s why everything was deleted?” Nat stated, “Why I couldn't find anything, pictures, film, newsreels, all of it?”

Steve nodded. “Peggy pointed out she was safer with us than back home, we had no idea who knew about her. Every single one of those agents had a damn picture of her.”

“Peg made some calls, she knew someone at the BBC, Pathe News, some had lost soulmates in the war, so they clipped every image of her out.” Bucky added.

“So the photograph in your compass? Of Agent Carter? It was a diversion tactic?” Asked Vision.

Steve nodded, smile now gone. Sam still confused asked questions.

“OK, I need to piece this together out loud for a second and you know I’ve got your backs right? But for the non science bros, or super intelligent creations, no offence”

Replies of “non taken” echoed round the room.

“You said Peggy identified her, after she’d passed, Howard paid for the funeral, so they hid her really damn well for seventy years or this ain’t your girl. Like Vis said someone would have flagged her age.”

“It’s her!” Bucky snapped.

“Buck.”

“I’m trying to be the voice of reason here, make sense of it all. Are you sure that’s her?” Sam asked pointing at the pictures Buck still held. “You said yourself, she was deleted from everything, you don’t have a point of reference, a photo. You’ve been through some shit, you’ve been froze. Also, there's no point of reference for any of us either, with everything gone, we've all tried to look. I'm just saying you’ve been through a lot. Maybe the memory is blurred.”

It was at this point Bucky lost it.

“I remember everything!” He cried out “I remember her, I remember my Ma, my sisters, everything, all the god damn awful fucking things I’ve done, that they made me do. Shuri pieced it altogether and the good things, the good memories, her, the memory of her is what gets me through, when I can’t do it, when I can barely breathe.”

“Buck take a breath.”

“Just show them Steve, they’re looking at me like I’m damn crazy, about to ship me back to Wakanda! Show them.”

Steve rose from his seat and pulled out his compass. A compass that had been seen on newsreels, in newspapers and in history books. He slowly opened it and carefully removed the picture of Peggy. Hidden behind the S.H.I.E.L.D founder was their soulmate.

Faded and a little rough round the ages but the others could now see it clearly for themselves as Steve set the compass down displaying the photograph. Bucky reluctantly placed those from Wanda beside it.

It was the same person. You. Soul sister to the Bartons, Natasha Romanoff, Bruce Banner and most recently, Wanda Maximoff, were in both pictures.

And you were Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes soulmate and you were alive.

MEET CHAOTIC PROMPTS

Alright, kids, listen up.

We’re all suckers for a good meet-cute. Don’t even try to lie to me. Like, yeah, they’re cliché, but, if done well, it can be really cute, hence the name.

Meet-uglies on the other hand can be super funny, and they almost always lead to enemies-to-lovers or rivals-to-lovers, even if just for a hot second. They’re great, too.

But here’s the thing:

I want more meet-chaotics. Not meet-cutes, not meet-uglies, meet-chaotics.

What do I mean by this?

Well, you know how crazy life can be sometimes? How wack shit happens, it makes a good story to tell your friends, and it makes you low-key question reality for a second? Yeah. Meet-chaotics are like that. How you met is just so weird and chaotic that it was a bonding experience.

Here are some prompts/concepts so you understand what I’m getting at:

“Normal”/Humor:

 “I’m an uber driver dropping off my last customer, and you and your friends(?) just jumped into my backseat right as they got out and yelled a variety of ‘DRIVE! FUCKING DRIVE!’ and ��FLOOR IT!’ There are flashing lights behind me, but I panicked and stepped on the gas, and now you’re trying to assure me that it’s not what it looks like, but I’m too busy worrying that I’m a wanted criminal now.” 

Bonus points for found family and/or polyamory!

“I’ve had a really bad day, and it started to rain, so, because I’m dramatic, I blasted my ‘*insert playlist name here*’ and lied down on my sidewalk/lawn/driveway facing the sky, and you just drove by, backed up, and ran out to join me as ‘Chasing Cars’ by Snow Patrol was playing. I have never met you before, but I’m pretty sure we’ve bonded and might be soulmates.” (Yes, I got this idea from a TikTok. What of it?).

“I was walking my dog at the park when he got off his leash, and now I’m running after him through the park calling his name and yelling to ‘GET THAT DOG!’ You’re having a barbecue/family reunion/birthday party, and my dog sprints towards you, knocks someone over, and begins eating your food. You see me sprinting towards you and trying to catch my dog, but he’s faster, so now we’re both chasing my dog, and I may or may not be swearing words that’d make a sailor blush. Eventually, one of us or a random stranger catches him, and we finally stop, and, hey, sorry about that, but, wazow! You’re pretty cute.” 

Bonus points for anyone vaulting over a table or something.

“We’re on our way to class, and I just witnessed you run past me down the stairs holding a bunch of books, trip, roll down two flights, and roll to your feet and keep running like nothing happened. And, like, we didn’t talk, and I don’t think you noticed me, but now I can’t help thinking of you. Like, that was impressive, but are you okay?”

“We’re at a house party, and it’s gotten pretty wild. Music is blasting from the speakers, people are dancing on tables, stuff is breaking, etc. Suddenly, the music shuts off, and someone yells, “POLICE!” and everyone s c a t t e r s. It’s pure chaos. I trip while running outside and curl up in a ball to not get trampled, but then a hand reaches down and pulls me up, it’s you, and we run off together still holding hands. Who are you, again?”

Bonus points if this goes back to the uber driver prompt. 

Bonus bonus points if this couple is coming from the same place as the folks from the first prompt, so it’s same universe, but they’re completely different people having their own meet-chaotics running from the police ‘cause they were at the same party.

Could be any illegal/big crowd scenario. A concert, a protest, etc. 

Sci-Fi:

“We live in a world where superheroes exist. One day, I’m minding my own business in my own apartment when you, *insert superhero name here,* crash through my wall while I’m just lounging on the couch, mug of coffee/preferred drink to my lips, feet up on my coffee table, and laptop open on my lap. We stare at each other. You get up, apologize, and fly off through the hole in the wall. Little do I know, you feel bad about the whole thing and decide to try making it up to me, except every thing you try just descends us more and more into chaos.”

Bonus points if this ends up being enemies to lovers, seeing as the protagonist, Character A, would probably be hella bitter about not having the specific superhero insurance needed to fix their wall. 

Bonus bonus points if Superhero has to save A from x during one of their attempts to fix the situation. 

“It’s the zombie apocalypse. I’ve set up camp in a (mostly) abandoned town, scavenging to survive. One day, there’s an unusual amount of zombies in the road. Panicked, I start to climb something. When I’m about halfway up, I hear a weird noise, and look down just in time to see you and your friend whizzing by on a shopping cart down the incline- you in the basket and your friend riding on the back. You’re screaming/yelling and swinging a bat around. The zombies are too slow and uncoordinated to catch up with you. At the last second, you look up at me and we make eye-contact mid-me making at wtf face. It’s such a stupid strategy that I’m low key in love.”

“It’s an alien invasion. We’re all running and screaming for our lives. Suddenly, there’s a spot light, and you start being pulled up into a ship. You panic and grab something. For some unknown, ungodly reason, I try to help you. It goes as well as it sounds. Cue us both getting beamed up while holding on to each other for dear life.”

“We’re on a spaceship. There are so many people on board that it’s impossible to truly know or recognize anyone. I’m working or reading or what have you, when I so happened to glance up at my porthole/window, just in time to see you, who’d been fixing something on the outside of the ship, floating away and doing some space gymnastics with your lead and etc., and swimming, to get back to the ship. I do what anyone responsible would do and sprint off to the docks to get you back safe inside.”

Bonus if Floating Person is just doing the absolute most ridiculous things to make it back.

I have more, but I feel like this post is long enough. But yeah. Something something meeting someone in the most chaotic, stupid, and unhinged way gets to me. Like, we’ve all have shared moments with a stranger because we both witnessed something or been involved in something dumb or crazy. And usually it’s like, eye-contact or brief, awkward commentary, then at the end of the day you go home and it’s just a funny story that only you guys experienced. Something about it just speaks to me.

Good morning! I was wondering if we could see Dennis's reaction to wifey telling him she was pregnant. 🤍

Good afternoon, Nonnie!!! I love looking into how Wifey told Dennis she was pregnant. Then I thought about another little moment. And out popped these thoughts:

you and Dennis are only together for about four months before his sperm and your egg become best friends

in June, you and Dennis begin seeing each other

at the neighborhood Halloween party, Mrs. Johnson points out your gigantic boobies and asks about your obvious (only to her as Dennis had no idea) pregnancy

during your gynecological appointment, the ultrasound technician shows you the little growing peanut in your belly

your first thought is fear that you weren’t ready to be a Mom yet

your second thought is that you must call Dennis

he rushes to the office, no doubt speeding across town to get to you because the only thing you told him this morning was that you had a doctor’s appointment, and now you need him to come to the office

ok, on further reflection, you can see how he could be already panicking

but when he is ushered into the room, he sees you on the exam table and rushes to your side

he immediately asks if you are okay, then asks what the doctor said after taking your hand in his

within the span of three seconds, you figure you would have had something prepared to say, but nope

you just end up blurting out, “I’m pregnant.”

you search his face for any sign of negative emotion

but you don’t find it

he only smiles teary-eyed, asking you to say it again

“I’m pregnant, Dennis.”

he studies your face, looking for any signs of how you feel

“I want to keep it.” “Will you marry me?”

you both speak at the same time, giggling at each other with tears in both of your eyes

“I want to raise this baby with you, sweetheart. I had planned out something a little better, but something told me to bring this with me.”

he fishes for something in his pocket, kneeling in front of you as you sit on the exam table, presenting the open blue velvet box to you

“I promise to make you happy with everything in me if you’ll have me, sweetheart.”

blame the hormones, but you just melt into a puddle of tears in front of this man as he proposes to you

Dennis is up off the floor in seconds, wrapping you in his arms as he kissing the top of your head

you try to speak but the words are muffled into his shirt

“What was that, sweetheart?”

“You can’t be this perfect; I just told you I’m pregnant, and we haven’t even been together for half a year. Then you propose? I can’t be that lucky.”

“Lucky, huh? Try being in an abusive marriage and having it fall apart, only to meet your soulmate two doors down. And having her love me back? Now, she’s having my baby. I’m the luckiest man in the world. Well, I will be. Once she says she’ll marry me?”

“Of course I’ll marry you, you goober.”

he wipes away your tears before taking out the ring and placing it on your finger

the nurse takes that moment to knock on the door and come back in

she sees you crying happy tears and Dennis holding your newly-adorned hand, putting her hand over her heart

“Oh my goodness, you two are so cute. I have your ultrasound pictures. When you’re ready, come out to the checkout window, and we can schedule your check-ups.”

she gives Dennis the small black-and-white photos, and he smiles down at the little blob

while you get redressed, you turn to Dennis and watch a tear fall as he puts the images in his pocket

you schedule your next appointment with the receptionist, and Dennis records it in his calendar as well, vowing to be there for every appointment

after that, he is careful with you as he helps you into the car as if you were a delicate piece of glassware

it gives you a peek into your future a bit, seeing what kind of dad he will be

OMG, this has been the cutest little peek into your life with Dennis. I swear, I feel like I created him in a lab like Weird Science. I love this man so much. I hope you enjoyed this little headcanon!!

A/N: Shout out to Beta Reader Ribbon for being the only beta reader this week. We gave Huntress a break because they do not like Bakugou and yet I force her to read these fics LMFAO. I've come back after a big test and I want to die. This chapter is a bit of a slower one as it's more housekeeping if anything.

When Bakugou said he was going to leave early in the morning, you didn’t think he’d leave at 3 a.m.

Your eyes opened once your body could no longer feel the warmth in the bed. Your eyes landed on Bakugou’s back, seeing old scars from being stabbed through his chest and the scars you gave him the night before.

His perfectly muscular back was soon covered by his shirt, forging the pout on your face and a sad whine.

He looked over his shoulder upon hearing your whine and chuckled. He turned and leaned down to you and kissed your cheek. “Sorry princess, I need to make sure I am ready for work today. I’ll see you then, okay?”

Though you whined, you nodded your head. Bakugou gave you another kiss, though it was longer and sweeter as if he didn’t want to leave either.

He pulled away though, leaving you to watch him leave your room and hear him close the front door behind him.

You grabbed the pillow he had laid on and cuddled it closely to you, breathing in his scent. Your brain felt fuzzy from just being woken up and also the feeling of being addicted to your soulmate already.

You reached out of your bed and grabbed your phone from a pile of clothing so you could put it on charge, but you quickly noticed you had two message notification files. One from your mother asking how you were, and one from him.

Minato Kusumoto (2) Missed Calls Missing my calls? You busy or something? Is it true you are working at Best Jeanist’s Agency?  That Saitou chick from the social media department found out this morning Call me once you are free, k?

You mentally cringed. Maybe it was because you were still in the after-glow after fucking your soulmate, but Minato just felt creepy to you now. You dumped him and yet he was still trying and reaching for your attention.

At least he wasn’t calling you by that pet name.

You clicked on his profile and pressed the blocked button, sighing in relief. 

Maybe you’ll regret this later when you come back down to your normal self, but in this moment it felt right. It felt so perfectly right.

You opened up your texts with your mother, smiling with glee as you typed.

You Sorry for the late reply. I met my soulmate.

You put your phone down as you plug it into its charger before lying on your back.

You couldn’t stop smiling.

“You can’t just drop that on someone at 3 a.m., Y/N!” Your mother shouted at your mother over the phone.

You had been woken up by your mother calling you. It did force you to get up, have a shower and get ready for work, but it wasn’t a nice way to wake up.

You locked your front door, your bag hanging off your elbow as you held the phone to your ear.

You sighed. “I just thought you’d like to know, mama. Next time I won’t tell you when I meet up with my soulmate.”

You snickered to yourself when you heard a weird construction of noises coming from your mother’s end of the call. 

“I have to get going now, mama.” You informed her as you bounced down the stairs. “I have to get to work now.”

“Can you just tell me who it is?” Your mother begged. “At least tell me what he looks like.”

“I met him at work and he is tall.”

“That doesn’t give me anything, Y/N!”

You laughed. “Bye mama!”

You hung up on your mother before making your way to work.

You were going to be yelled at later for that but who cares.

Thankfully, Bakugou was busy most of the day. Off doing his job while you did his. You found a way to schedule Bakugou for only one interview for a month. Sooner or later though you knew the journalists were going to figure out what the plan was and try their best to get Bakugou ticked.

They seemed to love that.

The main thing that kept piling up though was the incident reports coming in. Bakugou hadn’t made an appearance in the office yet and it was 2pm, and yep you were getting new paperwork to file every 10 to 15 minutes because of how much he was doing. From what you heard from some of the other secretaries, it was something he learned during his first year at UA in a Work Study Problem and he wasn’t eager to let it go.

It did mean that the large amount of paperwork coming in was mostly Bakugou’s cases, and because he hadn’t come into the office, you were the one ending up doing all the paperwork. You had to have the news radio playing on all the time just so you knew where his whereabouts were and take some guesses about what incident happened where, when, with whom and what happened.

You had a feeling in your gut that he was coming in soon. No new paperwork had come in for 20 minutes and he hadn’t been mentioned on the radio for 25 minutes. You could tell though he was taking your suggestions from the day before into consideration, actively avoiding the media from what you could tell.

You heard some noise from outside of your office, hearing some heavy footsteps walking closer and closer to your office. You then started to hear an almost whiney voice following the harsh footsteps.

It wasn’t long until you saw Bakugou’s figure walk past the door with two figures walking behind him. They were talking in a line like ducklings. 

You could hear them walk into Bakugou’s office and you could hear them talk about something, but their words were mumbled because of the soundproofing on Bakugou’s office walls.

Considering how one of the figures looked to be made out of red, you were going to go out on a wild limb and assume it was Red Riot. The media made it out like they were close friends, even doing cross merch collabs even if they were in different agencies.

Suddenly the door connecting your offices opened and you saw Bakugou’s face poked through.

“Where are the reports?” He asked, his mask was around his neck this time and his skin shined with sweat.

“The three on your desk are the only ones I couldn’t do because of limited information. The rest are already finished.” You answered him.

Bakugou’s brow went into a line. “Really?”

You noticed two heads behind him looking at you. You seemed to be right on the money about one of the figures being Red Riot, but the second seemed to be Charge Bolt.

Bakugou made a sound with his mouth before turning back into his office and closing the door behind him.

“Is that your new secretary ?” Kirishima asked Bakugou, watching Bakugou walk over and sit at his desk.

“She’s rather cute,” Kaminari said with a flirtatious smile on his face. “Is she single-“

“Shut up Dunce Face.” Bakugou glared at Kaminari before looking at your handwriting on the half-filled-out paperwork.

Your handwriting was really neat…

Kirishima and Kaminari exchanged a look before Kirishima started speaking. “So now that you have met your soulmate, when do we get to meet them?”

“Hopefully never if I have anything to say about it.” Bakugou grunted, his eyes not leaving the paperwork.

Kaminari leaned over the table. “You want them all to yourself after everything? Wouldn’t blame ya. If she caught a glimpse of-”

“Kam don’t.” Kirishima warned.

Bakugou glared up at Kaminari, his upper lip snarling up.

It had been like this all day for the two friends. Bakugou seemed to be on edge after meeting his soulmate. The two worried that maybe their first meeting didn’t go well, but Bakugou pushed that concern aside and your two proper interactions as soulmates was more than what he expected.

Kirishima’s eyes scanned Bakugou’s tense body, how he seemed to be on high alert and trying to listen to what was happening outside of the room they were standing in. Said room being soundproofed made it difficult. He couldn’t help but wonder if maybe Bakugou was missing the company of his soulmate already?

“Can I ask what your soul bond is, Bakugou?” Kirishima asked.

Bakugou gave Kirishima a nasty look, a look that made Kaminari back up. Kirishima stood his ground, not giving Bakugou the satisfaction of ‘winning’.

Bakugou sighed in an annoyed tone before leaning back in his chair, looking off to the side in embarrassment. “I don’t talk about it for a reason.”

“It’s one of those feeling the same things one, right?” Kaminari asked as he sat down on the couch in Bakugou’s office.

Bakugou scoffs. Of all the people to remember that drunken confession from almost 2 years ago.

It happened after your first time, Bakugou felt so betrayed by you going against your two’s soul bond and sleeping with someone else that he couldn’t function like he used to for a short time. He had erectile dysfunction for a few months, was physically ill for two days, and had become more angry. That’s not even adding that he’d be sick after you had sex for the following months.

His friends noticed, his parents noticed, the public noticed, his therapist noticed. His friends thought maybe taking him out to drink would cheer him up, and after a few hours he finally opened up and said ‘I can feel her through the soul bond, and it’s the worst’.

That's all it took for his friends to understand why he was upset. He felt something because of the soul bond, and whatever he felt was impacting his day-to-day life. Suddenly his friends were coming over a lot more either to play games, to have a meal, or to go hiking with him. It took his mind off of it for long enough until his therapist said something that helped more than anything else.

“The downside of having soulmates is that we know our person is out there and is the perfect person for us. People have often romanticised love, being loved and being in love that when someone hasn’t met their soulmate as young compared to the people around them, they become very lonely people. Maybe even isolated. Your soulmate probably just wanted to be loved, so please don’t take it as a betrayal.”

His therapist’s words rang through his head once again, his eyes sliding over to the shared door between your two offices. 

You’ve just broken up with your boyfriend for cheating on you but you didn���t want him or anyone else to know it was about the cheating. You moved across the country to a whole different Prefecture for a new job to use that as your reason to break things off. Was nothing else holding you back to keep you there? Why didn’t you want anyone else to know?

Were you so isolated and lonely that no friends or family were able to keep you there by simply being in your life, to the point moving to a different Prefecture felt easier than confessing or confronting the truth?

Did you even have anyone to help you move into your new place? He saw all the boxes around your apartment.

Bakugou was in deep thought, his finger tapping on his desk while another hand was holding his chin. Kirishima waved a hand in front of Bakugou’s face, only to get no reaction.

“And we lost him.” Kaminari chuckled to himself, standing back up. “We should get going. Let him open up when he’s ready.”

Kirishima followed Kaminari out of the room, an eyebrow raised at Kam as they walked out. “When did you become wise?”

“Always have.” Kaminari said with a smirk.

“Fuck off with that shit.” Kirishima laughed.

You waited until you could no longer hear the heroes' voices through the halls before taking a look at the shared door between yours and Bakugou’s office. It felt awkward knowing your soulmate was on the other side of the door. What were you even supposed to say? ‘Thanks for the sex last night now let’s act as if we aren’t soulmates as we work’? 

Great, now you are thinking about the sex with Bakugou last night and being reminded how sore your thighs were feeling. You feared for a reaction from Bakugou, remembering he could feel your sexual stirrings just as you could feel his. Within this moment though, things started to connect in your head now that you had the context that Bakugou was your soulmate.

The reason why he would always push his sexual stirring down during working hours was because of his job. Either so he doesn’t get onto the news for popping a boner while fighting some lizard villain or because he just was too busy to really focus on his sexual stirring. You started to feel really guilty for all the times you and Minato Kusumoto had sex while at work.

You mentally cringed. Why did you have to remind yourself of that?

Almost on cue, the shared door opened, bringing attention to Bakugou’s face.

“Did those idiots say where they were going?” He asked in a grumpy annoyed tone.

“No.” 

He scoffed, turning his face away from you. Which, funny enough, only brings your attention to his red-tipped ears. You tried to hold back the smile threatening the form on your cheeks.

Bakugou turned back around to look into your eyes, catching you staring at him.

“You have any plans to meet up with friends or something?” He asked, trying to get information out of you.

You mentally cringed. A few people did come to mind who used to be your friends but dumped you after you started dating someone who wasn’t your soulmate. You doubted they would want to see you, even after you left Minato Kusumoto. You also doubted they would believe that you happened to meet your soulmate after moving too.

“...Not really. I haven’t made any friends yet.” You confessed to Bakugou, not knowing you confirmed his concerns.

You noticed tapping his finger on the other side of the door frame as his mind was in deep thought. “I’ll walk your home and help you unpack this week.” Bakugou said nonchalantly.

Your chest felt tight and you stood up from your desk. “You don’t have to do that for me.”

Bakugou rolled his eyes. “Yeah, I don’t have to. I’m doing it because I want to.”

“You-? You want to help me?” You asked.

Bakugou gave you a look that read ‘Are you kidding’? Your lips went into a straight line.

You guess you really shouldn’t be surprised that your soulmate wants to spend time with you and help you get adjusted.

But as his secretary, you can’t have him be seen coming over to your place. It would be a scandal if people noticed him walking the same girl home every night for a week, especially because you were his secretary.

“You can’t do that.” You sighed out as you sat down.

Bakugou tried to hold back his snarl. “What do you mean I can’t do that?!”

“You can’t be seen walking and staying at your secretary’s home every night for a week, Bakugou-“

“I thought we were on a first-name basis.” Bakugou’s voice was low and almost threatening.

“Not while we are at work.” You bite back.

“Why not?!” He asked with an accusatory tone.

“Because if Dynamight is seen walking his new secretary home and staying at her home for longer than a minute, it will cause scandal.” You explained to him, trying not to yell at him.

Bakugou became quiet, his eyes just glued to your face - mostly your lips - as he thought over whether he wanted to be mad or not.

You were probably right. He couldn’t be seen out with you as much as probably wanted to. All he’s ever wanted was to show off his soulmate to the world. He thought once he met you, he would rarely be seen without you when he wasn’t working. It was a huge disappointment that you two met because you were now working for him.

Didn’t mean he liked it though.

“…I still want to help you.” He grumbled out in frustration.

You sighed, resting your open hand over your mouth as you tried to find a compromise for him. “How about you come on the weekend?”

“I come on Friday and sleepover for the weekend.” Bakugou replied with a soft grin.

“The weekend.” You sat up straight, trying to ignore the warm growth in your core.

“I know you like the idea.”

“But it might cause you problems.” You said as you stood up, grateful you wore your suit pants today. “I should’ve taken the job to work for Red Riot so we wouldn’t have this problem.”

Bakugou’s eye twitched. “You think you would’ve preferred it?” He asked with an angered tone.

“I don’t know,” You let out in frustration with your hands being thrown up. “But we wouldn’t be having this problem.”

Bakugou grumbled, his finger tapping the door frame again. “Fine, but you have to give me your personal number.”

“Fine.” You sassed back before you even realised what you were agreeing to. Only once you pulled out your phone did you mentally curse yourself. “This doesn’t mean for work purposes I’ll use this phone. I’ll still use my work phone.”

“Fine.” Bakugou replied in a less angry tone than before.

You felt awkward as you held out your personal phone to Bakugou. He walked over, putting his personal number into your contacts. You felt your knee bounce up and down under the table and tried not to peel at your nails.

You wondered if all soulmates were awkward in their first few social interactions or if it was just you two considering your job and sexual past. 

Bakugou pulled a plain-looking phone with an orange case out of one of his pockets before handing it to you. You start pulling in your number, noticing him getting a lot of notifications from a group chat. It seemed as if Bakugou was the type of person to name all of his contexts with nicknames, but you still put in your full name.

Once you exchanged phones again, Bakugou looked at your new contact with a soft face for only two seconds before diving his phone back into his pocket. “You sure you don’t want me to walk you home?” He asked.

“Yes, I am sure Bakugou. How about you go have some lunch?”

“Will you join me?”

You raised an eyebrow at Bakugou. He replied back with a click sound made from his mouth and turned his head away. The screen of your personal phone lit up, bringing your attention away from Bakugou to your phone. A cold icy feeling went through your blood.

Email From: Minato Kusumoto Subject: Why Did You Block Me? Preview: Hey Kitty, You didn’t respond to my text yesterday and…

You quickly put your phone face down on your desk, making Bakugou look at your face with a quirked brow.

“What’s wrong?” He asked, noticing how stiff you had become and finding your reaction suspicious.

You mentally weigh your options of whether you should tell Bakugou or not. ‘Yeah just my ex trying to get in contact with me, no biggie.’ Did not seem like a good idea to say.

You took some deep breaths before speaking. “Just an email but how much the move here is going to cost me.”

It wasn’t a total lie. It seemed as if there was going to be a great personal cost if Minato Kusumoto was going to be emailing you during work hours.

Shit- If he had sent it any earlier that Bakugou would’ve seen it-

“I can pay for it.” Bakugou offered.

You did a double-take. “What?”

“If it’s too much, I can pay for it.”

“That isn’t necessary.” You replied, trying to think of some way to get him off the case. “Just means I won’t be able to have much takeout.”

Bakugou made a disgusted face. He wasn’t a fan of eating out.

“If you change your mind, I’ll be happy to pay for it.”

“It’s fine, Bakugou. Promise.” You gently smiled at him.

Bakugou’s heart skipped a beat from your smile and his ears went red. You on the other hand were trying to calm down your nerves and trying to remember if you could block people from emailing you. Were you going to have to block your ex on everything?

Bakugou kept staring at you for a little while longer, only breaking away when he heard his work phone go off. He reluctantly walked back into his office, closing the shared door behind him.

(How they would react to your confession of your love to them~)

Sakura would just be the person to ignore you untill she is ready to confront you and accept the fact that you love her~ Sakura: Are you sure?..

You nodded a yes, While she ran away to change the rumors as always.. but she can’t stop thinking about you~ She never knew she had feelings as well for you..

She was confused but deeply in love with your eyes and personality..

When she came back..

Sacker: I—I suppose I- like you too..Would you like or perhaps want to come to my tea party?

You nodded a yes again.. While her face turn red as a tomato..

Nene - Chan would be the person who goes crazy because you are her first boyfriend/girlfriend and would become a different person like you never met before..

Nene : I— I love you Y/n!~(she said bravely but then turn into pink cheeks as cherry blossoms)

She ran away because she thought you wouldn’t like her because of her fat radish ankles.. So she decided to do exercise and wear different type of pants just to impress you even though you said she was perfect the way she was..

Nene: Does this impresses you?> Your perfect the way you are Nene- Chan~

Mitsuba would be the person who would tease you a lot— and be sarcastic most of the time in a way on how to express his love to you~ Mitsuba: hA Eheheh hOw dO I eVeR LiKe sOmEoNe LiKe yOu I MEAN I LoVE myself- ❤️

You frowned and walked away until he grabs your arm and—

Mitsuba: Wait—I..don’t want you to leave…

(After hours and hours of talking with him inside of his boundary.. you decided to leave until—

Mitsuba: Can you come— by tomorrow?..

You nodded a yes.. and left— But before you left he was shedding tears typically Mitsuba ~

Hanako-kun would be person who doesn’t treat you as a queen/king or doesn’t pay attention to you.. But when you ignore you him too.. He’ll be crazy and trying to get your attention again..But deeply in his heart he does care about you.

Hanako-kun : Stop Ignoring Me!!!

You rolled your eyes ..

But he took of his hat as a way to apologize to you... when he was looking at magazines of ladies and not paying attention to you..

Hanako-kun : I’m— sorry Y/n..I didn’t knew that you really liked me..can we start over?.>

Y/n : FiNe !! But you better not look at those magazines!!( you cried a little) But you fell in love with his eyes..when he said—

I am yours truly and please don’t cry—

I’m here by your side~

Kou would be the opposite of Hanako-kun instead he would treat you as a queen/king and protect from any supernaturals even tho he never defeated one.. He would do anything to make you satisfied..

Kou : Do you want me to bake donuts?

Y/n : No— it’s fine Kou ~ ( he bake them anyways cause.. he wants to see you smile and plus you always loved glazed donuts and on how you kept talking about it with Hanako-kun)

Kou : I—(he got flustered eheh) made donuts just for you Y/n!> Y/n: Yum!! You’re a great cook minamoto!

Kou : Please call me Kou~— Unless if you want me call me by my—

Y/n : Minamoto Kou~ I love you~ You blush a little at his words—

I will protect you! As an exorcist I shall eliminate all evil spirits!! ( He said bravely, but everyone thought he was weird for saying that—gave him the death stare while you gave him a cute smile~)

Tsukasa would be the person who is confused on what you said to him..

Tsukasa: What’s does “I love you” mean?

(Since, he hasn’t been out in the human world in so long.. he forgot what words meant.. because he was always busy on killing things.. you liked the dark side of him most of the time 🔪)

So you went with him to ask Sakura for advice..

Sakura: “I love you” means that you exchange hearts to one another which also means that you both are soulmates or belonged to each other and would never break that bond of an relationship.

Tsukasa: You mean— on how Mitsuba eats supernaturals?..

Sakura: Well not exact—

(Tsukasa brings out a heart that was filled of blood.. and his hands are covered in red..until—

Tsukasa: Well.. This is my love to you!! Ehehe(He smiles cutely)😈

(You were interested if that was his heart or someone’s else..As you saw him covered in blood again and scaring off the mokkes he reminded you of Hanako—kun and simply you wanted to learn more about Tuskasa~)

FIN ~ <3

[m1ckeyb3rry]

i just finished the chapter AND OH MY GOD. it was so cute and sweet but absolutely heartbreaking at the same time. toge and panda broke me☹️☹️☹️ i love hana sm and i love the way you portray her bc she seems like such a sweet person and i really love how y/n tries to befriend her and not make her feel unwelcome

yuta just continues to raise my standards, that man is the greenest flag to exist and the way he loves y/n so much makes me bang my head against a wall. they’re everything to me and they’re literally the definition of what love is

maki is my baby, her and y/ns relationship is so pure and you can see how much they care for each other. i feel like their love for one another doesnt have an explanation, its more than just platonic love, they’re literally soulmates

TULLIA UGHHHHHHH everytime shes mentioned my heart drops to the ground and i miss her so so so so much. it shatters my heart the way she never got to confess to toge herself, they deserved so much better ☹️☹️

and gojo omg. y/n and gojos relationship may be my favourite in the entire series. i love how much they care for each other and the way they’re literally siblings. the photo album ABSOLUTELY killed me, it was so thoughtful and so sweet and fr the best gift you can ever give someone. it makes me really sad that its probably the last thing she’ll ever get from gojo (if the story goes there (PLS DONT IM GONNA SOB AND SCREAM))

all in all, i absolutely loved this chapter but it felt like the calm (if you can call it that really) before the storm and im so not ready for the next chapter. it kills me that pi is ending so soon, i’ll miss it so much and i’ll miss all the characters and inside jokes of the book, but im still really excited to know what happens and see everything get revealed (im gonna be screaming crying shaking and dying on the floor)

toge and panda the forgotten favs 😫 i’m like 99% sure that’s the last time we’re going to see those two and they’ve been there since the BEGINNING so it was so bittersweet writing that chapter 😔 but HANAAA i love her sm she deserved sm better from the fandom and from gege as a whole i will always defend her. the whole trend of female characters obsessed with the male main characters that dgaf abt them is so annoying and disappointing to me tbh especially because hana had so much potential to be such an interesting character given her powers and dynamic with angel. so i tried to expand on her just a little bit!! maybe in another fic i’ll focus on her more because she really is so cool.

YUTA IS SO SWEET he is THE boyfriend of all time like the biggest gentleman ever i love him sm 😢 he’s just so kind and loving and ugh i can’t

maki and y/n really do escape definition tbh. like i couldn’t tell you WHAT they are but whatever it is it’s a very very pure form of love and they are so dear and important to me. their relationship (along w y/n and yuta’s ofc) definitely exemplifies the core of pi and idt the story would be the same without it at ALL

the tullia mentions are so sad for me too because i’ve actually never killed her off before so it’s weird to write something without her there in some way shape or form. her and toge deserved sm more than they got fr.

GOJO AND Y/N. that’s it that’s the sentence…as much as the romance in pi is central to it i think the bond between gojo and y/n is just as important. they kill me every time because they didn’t get as much time as they deserved together (#l/nclanslander) but they still love each other more than anything. the photo album had me sobbing especially describing all of the pictures from the first half of the story 😭 it felt so end credit scene if that makes sense?? and just reminded me that this entire ridiculous journey is almost over ☹️ no spoilers for what will happen to everyone hehehe you will have to wait and see

THIS CHAPTER TRULY IS IT. the calm before the storm the last time we see everyone…it truly will be the end of an era once pi is over (which is so so soon) i’m going to feel so empty for a bit and it’s going to be so odd to not be able to write more adventures of the pi crew (but at least that means asftd and h/h can get back to being updated regularly again!!)

Calum/Ashton (2) Masterlist

part one

Always gonna want you back (ao3) - bewareofcamels G, 4k

Summary: They called it a "mental-health" - break over social media, even though it was more of a "Ashton broke up with Calum and now we kind of have a problem band wise" - break!

Awkward Is The New Cute (ao3) - ashsparagus N/R, 3k

Summary: Ashton’s awkward, Calum’s in love, Luke sets them up, and Michael isn’t in this one.

close enough to you (ao3) - irwah E, 5k

Summary: “But can’t we, like, just for tonight?”

Calum eyes Ashton warily, realising just how many drinks he must have had. It’s so unlike the boy to go against his own words, his own morals.

“I just, I really want you, Cal.”

Empty Gut - @daydadahlias (cornflowerblue (daydadahlias)) E, 11k

Summary: Cowboys and horses and long, lonely nights in the wilderness.

Endlessly (ao3) - thesoulsailor E, 27k

Summary: “I know who he is.” The boy, Ashton, commented, closing his book. Not sparing Calum a single look, he hopped off his chair and started walking towards the back door of the room. His movements were rigid, tense as if Calum had offended him personally by just his presence. Which confused Calum more than it should’ve if he was being honest. Normally people were easy for Calum. He got along with almost everyone he met from the go. Not so Ashton. Ashton seemed to detest him and Calum had no idea why.

or Calum is the undisputed king of his high school, Ashton speaks through colours, Luke doesn’t let anybody touch him and Michael is so getting killed by for hiding that snake in their teacher’s drawer.

if there's one thing i know it's that we're good together (ao3) - irwah E, 3k

Summary: "It isn’t that weird, really, if you think about it. Ashton is just one guy, a guy who spends a lot of time working out. And he’s admiring his best friend working out, his technique, his breathing pattern - totally normal things he observes in other people when he’s at the gym.

Except it is weird. Because he’s not admiring Calum’s technique, he’s admiring Calum’s abs, the way the sweat is pooling in the dips between muscles, the way his shoulder muscles clench with the force it takes him to do a sit up. He’s not admiring Calum’s technique so much as admiring his body."

or: Cashton fuck in a gym

kissing at the stop signs, darling (ao3) - irwah M, 3k

Summary: Ashton still has the same car, the beat up old banger than he used to pick Calum up from school in and Calum loves it – at the risk of turning into a complete sap he loves the memories it holds, and it reminds him of a simpler time.

Or: a cashton fic based on a cute keek that developed a life of its own

Loaf Love (ao3) - @daydadahlias (cornflowerblue (daydadahlias)) T, 4k

Summary: Ashton and Calum cat-sit for a weekend.

Loose Tongue (ao3) - jbhmalum M, 10k

photo (ao3) - orphan_account N/R, 3k

Summary: calum and ashton add a pretty little photo to their collection of casual sex pictures.

Sodales (ao3) - takeitoffhemmo M, 9k

Summary: Everyone gets a tattoo that’s the outline of a flower and when they fall in love with their soulmate the flower becomes filled with color.

Luke and Michael find each other as soulmates pretty early, but the anxiety of finding a soulmate still presses on their friends, Ashton and Calum. Will Ashton and Calum find solace in each other while still searching for their other half? Will they be each other’s soulmates?

stuck in between a nightmare and lost dreams (ao3) - bluesunnie T, 13k

Summary: The one where Calum writes Ashton a song for their second album, all because of that one night when Ashton got drunk and talked about his family.

wanna share? - @daydadahlias (cornflowerblue (daydadahlias)) T, 10k

wish I could say something (ao3) - irwah G, 6k

Summary: “What do you mean you’re getting married?!” Comes Luke’s tinny voice, squeaking through the speakers of Ashton’s phone.

"It just makes sense, Lu.” Ashton sighs. “I don’t have the money to go back to paying full rent for the flat and he doesn’t wanna get sent back to France. It just works, logistically.”

Or: the Brexit fake dating AU that no-one asked for

[starrysnowdrop]

Okay so like, this is a weird question but I kind of started to think about it, have you ever had characters where it feels like the npcs you shipped them with were like... soulmates? I hope that makes sense. I don't really know how else to explain my random thought.

Hmmmm, you mean like your OC and their NPC partner were soulmates? Absolutely!

The first time I experienced it was when my main OC was Yume, and I had at first shipped her with Aymeric, and I just couldn’t get it to work. They didn’t have the chemistry that I was hoping for, and I wanted to ship an OC with Aymeric because I love him so much, but in the end I just knew it wasn’t working and I scrapped the ship altogether.

Then I shipped Yume with Cid, and I thought they were cute and I thought I was happy with it, but I still didn’t have the feeling with them that I was looking for. They didn’t have that “spark” that made me excited about the ship, and I kept thinking of the idea that I had briefly thought of years prior and never did it because I ultimately thought I wasn’t a good enough writer for it to work. Eventually I got over my fear and decided to go for it. I had Yume break up with Cid and end their engagement so that she could be with G’raha.

To make a long story somewhat shorter, I’m so glad that I overcame my anxiety and decided to ship Yume with G’raha, because I just think they work so well together. They have that chemistry, that “spark” that I was looking for, but everyone that I had tried to ship with Yume before just didn’t work out as well as I had hoped. To me, they really feel like soulmates, to the point that I even ship Eurydice, Unsundered Yume, with G’raha’s Unsundered self, whom I call Orpheus. I can’t even think of anyone else ever being with her anymore. Nothing else feels right, you know?

As for Hali, it didn’t take me long to realize that Hali would have a thing for Aymeric, as it took only the cutscene introducing him to Hali that made me go “Yes! Aymeric didn’t work out for Yume, but maybe Hali will have a better chance!” And not long after that, I started writing the Hali x Aymeric ship and I haven’t looked back! For me, it’s so easy to write for them, they are so right for each other, and they really do have the biggest “spark” that I’ve seen in any of my ships that I’ve written for before. Once again, I can’t imagine Hali with anyone else now.

I’m not sure why exactly, because I don’t think it’s wrong if you’re the type of writer that can write multiple ships for the same OC, and I think some of my mutuals do it extremely well. But I don’t know, I just can’t do that with my OCs. I like to have that special person (or persons if you’re poly, though neither of my girls are) that’s right for them, and if that means that they have found their soulmates, then who am I to deny them that?

I have no idea if I actually answered your question correctly anon, but you did get me to ramble on a bit about it! Thank you so much for the really thoughtful ask!! 🥰💖

Addendum: I still feel a bit guilty that I had my eye on Krile to ship with Hali and it just didn’t happen. This is absolutely NOT me questioning my Hali x Aymeric ship, because I’m not giving them up for anything, but I still really want to have an OC to ship with Krile, and maybe I can work on that?? Ehhhh we shall see.

masterlist

the numbers ‘01:27AM’ glowed dimly in your dorm room. your final year of university was really taking a toll on you. your days were packed with classes, part-time jobs and endless assignments. sleep had become a luxury you could barely afford.

yawning, you closed your laptop. you had been running on 3 days worth of caffeine and your body was (obviously) shutting down.

you shuffled to your bed, collapsing onto the messy sheets. you felt your eyelids getting heavier by the second, tempting you to fall asleep. despite the stress that was at the back of your mind, you gave in - drifting into a deep slumber almost immediately.

you woke up in a bright garden you’ve never seen before. the air was thick with the smell of flowers and the sky was an endless blue.

you got up from the metal bench you were lying down on, straightening your back. “hello?” you called out.

suddenly, you heard a groan coming from behind you. you turned around quickly, seeing a (handsome) tall man lying down on the bench you just stood up from. he slowly got up, scratching his head. his eyes adjusted to the light before he finally took notice of you.

“uh-“ he spoke, revealing his deep and clear voice. “who are you?” he asked cautiously, scanning you up and down.

“me?” you pointed to yourself as you faced him completely. “who are you?”

he raised an eyebrow, clearly taken aback. he glanced around at the scenery, taking in the surroundings. “where are we?”

“i don’t know..” you mumbled. “i thought i was sleeping.. but for some reason, i woke up here.”

“same..” the man stood up, his face concerned. “is this a dream?”

you shrugged, just as confused as he was. the two of you exchanged an awkward glance, unsure of how to deal with the situation.

you let out a sigh. “well, i’m-“ you began, attempting to introduce yourself. just as you were about to say your name, you throat tightened, causing you to enter a coughing fit.

“woahwoahwoah,” the man ran and kneeled next to you. “are you okay? what happened?” he asked worriedly.

“i think-“ you wheezed out, catching your breath. you tried to say your name again, but it led you to another violent coughing fit. you dusted off your clothes, looking up at him in shock. “i can’t say my name,” you said, gasping for air.

“really?” the man’s eyes widened. right after you said that, you watched him start to choke on air, struggling to say his own name. “we really can’t say them..” he concluded, shaking his head in disbelief.

“that’s weird..” you remarked quietly. after a brief moment of silence, you stuck your hand out, offering a handshake. “anyway, it’s nice to meet you..?”

he chuckled softly, accepting your handshake. the moment your hands touched, a rush of electricity spread through the both of you, almost as if an invisible bond was forming. once that was over, your hands passed through each other, as if there wasn’t anything there in the first place. the man’s face was stunned, mirroring your speechless state.

“what the hell was that?” you said, instinctively pulling your hand away.

you both looked at each other, trying to understand what just happened. “wait-“ he muttered suddenly.

you nodded, prompting him to continue. he led you back to the bench that you woke up on. he breathed out, “i know this sounds crazy, but i think we’re soulmates- and this is our soulbond.”

“soulmates..?” you repeated, the realisation sinking in. you remembered writing a paper on soulmarks for an assignment a while back. there was a soulmark called ‘DREAM-SYNC’, where if both you and your soulmate sleep at the same time, you’re able to enter each other’s dreams. “you’re right..” you trailed off.

as you sat together on the bench, the garden around started to change. the flowers around you seemed to bloom even more, and the grass appeared to be more green and vibrant. you looked at him, seeing him in a different light.

“so what do we do now, soulmate?” you asked, breaking the silence.

he reached for your hands, trying to hold on to them before they passed through each other again. he chuckled warmly before saying, “let’s get to know each other.”

“sure,” you nodded, feeling slightly nervous. “but how do we find each other outside of this place?”

“we’ll figure it out,” he reassured you. “let’s just enjoy the moment. i mean- for the longest time, i thought i didn’t have a soulmate.”

you chuckled, embarrassed. “sorry about that,” you said, trying to get more comfortable on the bench. “my sleep schedule isn’t the best, i haven’t slept in a while.”

“really?” he arched his eyebrows. “what do you do?”

you sighed. “i’m a uni student, but i also work part-time at a 7/11. what about you?”

“oh, i’m an-“ he said, before choking on air again.

concerned flashed on your face. “are you alright?” he nodded before chuckling awkwardly. “i guess i can’t say anything about my job.”

just as you were about to ask more, you were pulled out off your dream, waking up in your bed as you gasped for air. you quickly looked at the clock which displayed ‘03:00AM’. strangely enough, those two hours of sleep turned out to be the best sleep you’ve had in a while - you don’t remember the last time you were this energised. you decided to take the time to clean up your room and do your work properly with your brand new energy.

yunho was pulled out of his dreamscape by one of his members, mingi, who was shaking him aggressively.

“hyung, wake up and sleep properly. we have a radio show later,” mingi grumbled as he continued to tap yunho.

yunho groaned, rubbing his eyes. “i’m awake, i’m awake,” he muttered, sitting up on the couch, feeling breathless.

“are you okay..?” mingi asked.

yunho exhaled, running his fingers through his hair. “i think i just met my soulmate..”

mingi’s eyes widened. “seriously? but weren’t you just sleeping?”

“yeah,” yunho nodded. “i.. i have that one dream soulmark- mingi, it felt so real.”

mingi looked at his dazed friend for a moment before sitting down beside him. “what’s she like?”

“she’s nice..” yunho said softly before leaning back into the couch. “and really pretty too..”

the both of them sat in a brief silence, before mingi spoke up. “sorry for waking you up,” he apologised sheepishly, scratching the back if his neck. “you’ve been talking about finding your soulmate for ages.”

“it’s okay,” yunho replied, sounding a little disappointed. “but what do i do now? should i find her?”

mingi sighed. “you should, but now’s not a good time. we have the a lot of performances coming up, our company won’t be happy if you’re distracted.”

yunho nodded reluctantly, recalling the busy schedule ahead of him. mingi added, “but who knows? maybe you’ll see her again in your dreams.”

“let’s get some rest, we’ve got a long day ahead of us.” mingi patted his shoulder before getting up.

yunho went to his room, going straight to his bed. he couldn’t stop thinking about you. he finally found his soulmate - sure, it was in a dream, but that didn’t matter. he knew that he had to be patient if he wanted to meet you again, whether in a dream or real life.

“girl..” you began as you chewed on your granola bar. you called your best friend over to your dorm, wanting to unpack the weird night you just had. “i just met my soulmate,” you giggled.

“what!” your best friend jumped from her seat. “how? i don’t remember the last time you went out..”

“you remember that ‘DREAM-SYNC’ soulmark i told you about? when i had that project?” you asked her, receiving a nod in return. you saw how her faced morphed into realisation as she processed your words.

“holy- you mean it happened?” she exclaimed, her eyes wide with excitement.

you nodded eagerly, grinning. “yes! i met him in a dream and everything.”

“tell me more,” she urged, scooting closer.

you started to tell her about the garden, the man you saw, the weird coughing and how your hands would pass through each other whenever you touched. “and- he’s so handsome..” you groaned before chugging the cup of coffee next to you.

“of course, he’s your soulmate,” she snorted as she ate her bowl of cereal. “how are you going to finding him?”

“i don’t know.. he couldn’t tell me anything about himself because of the stupid coughs,” you sighed. “and it’s not like i can go around trying to find this one guy. what if he doesn’t live in our country?”

she laughed. “true. but can’t you just meet him again? all you have to do is sleep.”

“that’s the hard part,” you muttered. “i’m barely getting any sleep as is.”

“well, you have to try. this is your soulmate we’re talking about,” she looked at you, seriously.

you stared at your now empty coffee cup, lost in thought. the idea of trying to find your other half through a dream felt impossible. though, the memory of his face kept appearing in your mind, telling you to meet your soulmate.

“i know it’s a lot, but you’ve got this,” she said, finishing her cereal. “we’ll figure it out together.”

˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆｡☆ ⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪ ⋆˚ʚɞ ⋆｡𖦹°⭒˚｡⋆

weeks passed and you found yourself adjusting your schedule to get more sleep. it wasn’t easy, but the thought of seeing him motivated you. you drifted off to sleep, feeling the familiar pull into your dreamworld. you opened your eyes to see the same beautiful garden.

“hello?” you called out again, just as you had the first time.

“over here,” he responded. you saw him standing near a rose bush, a smile forming on his face.

a wave of relief washed over you. “it’s good to see you again,” you said.

“i was afraid it wouldn’t work this time,” he admitted, walking towards you.

days turned into weeks. each night you met in the garden became a part of your routine you loved. the both of you laughed and even had moments of silence that felt way more intimate than any conversation.

you learnt about his favourite colour, favourite movies and shows. the two of you bonded over the little things, talking for what felt like hours before you had to inevitably wake up.

you went over to your best friends dorm room, only to find her squealing over the cardboard box on her table.

“‘____’, my package came!” she said excitedly, pulling you from the door.

“huh?” you glanced between her and the box. “what’s inside?”

she took her box cutter and started to open her package. “i know you don’t keep up with k-pop, but my album just arrived!”

you let out an ‘ahh’ as she held the bubble-wrapped album in her hands. “which group is this one again?”

“ATEEZ,” she replied, her eyes wide with excitement. “i’ve been waiting for this one for weeks!”

you watched her carefully unwrap the album. “are they good?”

“girl- are they good?” she echoed, raising her eyebrow. “they are so talented and their music is amazing.”

“plus, they’re all really cute,” she explained, flipping through the album.

you leaned over her shoulder, looking at the photo concepts that were being displayed. just then, a familiar figure caught your eye. “wait-“

your best friend hummed, stopping on the page. “hm?”

“who’s that..?” you muttered, pointing at the member.

“ahh that’s yunho. is he your type?” she asked teasing.

“i know i sound delusional.. but that’s the man i’ve been meeting in my dreams,” you said in disbelief.

she turned to you almost instantly, her jaw dropped. “the man, as in, the one that’s your soulmate..?”

you nodded, still trying to process it yourself. she grabbed your shoulders, shaking you slightly. “do you know what this means? your soulmate is an idol!”

feeling overwhelmed, you asked, “that’s good, right?”

“uhuh, yunho is one of the sweetest idols out there,” she exclaimed. “you’re really lucky, ‘____’.”

you sat down next to her, not knowing how to deal with all of this. figuring out your soulmate was already a miracle, but the fact that he was famous? it exceeded any and all expectations that you had.

“you need to meet him,” your best friend spoke up. “do you want to try going to a concert?”

“i’m broke,” you groaned, leaning back into the seat.

“oh right same..” she said, trying to lighten the mood.

most, if not all of the ways to meet yunho involved money, something that you were lacking at the moment. you and your best friend tried to brainstorm ideas to meet him, but none of them made sense.

“why isn’t anything working,” you sighed.

she moved closer to you, pulling you into a brief hug. “we’ll find a way. wanna try again tomorrow?”

you nodded reluctantly, feeling slightly disappointed of the outcome of your hangout.

when you entered the dreamworld again that night, you desperately tried to tell yunho that you knew who he was. however, that only ended up in coughs and short breaths filling the garden.

“do you think we’ll ever meet each other,” yunho asked, sounding hopeless.

you paused, not knowing how to respond. “we will,” you ended up saying.

yunho looked at you confused, about to ask you what you meant. suddenly, the two of you were pulled out of your dreamscapes, being brought back to reality.

you were unfortunately woken up by your 12am alarm, reminding you to get to your night shift at the convenience store nearby. sighing, you started to get dressed and walked to your job.

a few days pass by and yunho started to get restless. while he tried to be patient, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed that there wasn’t a faster way to find you. even his members noticed how distracted he was.

“hyung, you’ve been spacing out a lot lately,” san remarked as they were practicing their new choreography. “is everything okay?”

yunho sighed, wiping the sweat off of his forehead. “i’m just frustrated. i keep meeting this girl in my dreams but i don’t know how to meet her in real life.”

mingi patted his shoulder, consoling him. “you’ll meet her soon.”

“i hope,” yunho said before finishing his drink. he grabbed his wallet that he put to the side and started to walk towards the door. “i’m going to the 7/11 down the street. you guys want anything?” a chorus of ‘no’s was heard as he left the practice room.

meanwhile, you were organising the bills in the cash register at the 7/11, your mind drifting to yunho and the dreams. the bell above the door chimed, signalling a customer’s arrival. you glanced up, not thinking much of it and continued with your task.

yunho made a beeline to the refrigerators, picking out a drink before going over to the shelves and grabbing a snack. he walked over to the counter, setting his items on it when he finally looked at your face and saw that you. the girl in his dreams - his soulmate. shocked, he forgot to let go of his drink that he was placing on the counter.

you wanted to scan the man’s items as quickly as possible, but was stopped when you noticed that he didn’t release the grip on his drink. looking up, you were met with your soulmate’s wide eyes.

for a moment, neither of you moved. it felt as if time stood still.

“yunho?” you whispered.

“it’s really you,” he breathed out, still surprised.

the both of you stood there, staring at each other. none of you knew what to do, how to approach each other.

“i can’t believe this,” yunho murmured, a smile forming on his face.

“neither can i,” you replied. he eventually released his grip on the drink he was holding, passing the can to you.

your fingers brushed against each other, and finally, they didn’t pass through each other like they did in your dreams. an electric feeling spread through the both of you, confirming your soulbond.

you began to shakily scan his items, barely recovering from what you just discovered. “it’s good to finally meet you, yunho,” you said as steady as you could.

“likewise,” he replied with a smile on his face. as you were about to hand him his bag of items, yunho stepped towards the counter, leaning closer to you.

“i still can’t believe that you’re actually in front of me,” he said, his expression softening. “can i try something?”

you gave a small nod as he gently cupped your face with one hand and leaned in, pressing his lips into yours. it was a shy, yet loving kiss that showed his feelings for you. your heart raced as you kissed him back, feeling the familiar electric sensation spread through your body once more.

when you finally pulled back, there was a wide grin on his face. “you don’t know how long i’ve been dreaming of this moment.”

any and all feedback appreciated <3

Zodiac Academy: Ruthless Fae/The Reckoning - A book review

C. Peckham and S. Valenti

I’m gonna be honest, I’m liking this series less and less with each book. My memory is a bit fuzzy and I barely remember what happened in this one. I remember that in this book they finally took those mid-term exams, the so-called “Reckoning”. The thing that actually bothers me the most is that they definitely will get together with one of the heirs and the professor. Okay, I kinda do like the professor. I'll be honest and I think that he and Darcy are cute together. Not exactly a healthy relationship, but it’s fiction so I’ll let it slide.

Okay so I know I should’ve expected it because it’s a bully romance, but in my defense, I didn’t see that before I started reading the series. It’s kinda obvious that Darcy will end up with Orion and Tori will end up with Darius. At first I was like hell yeah they’re gonna kill the Heirs and take over the throne, but uhh that ain’t happening apparently.

Tori and Darius have a weird ass relationship, one moment they are torturing each other. He made her believe he was gonna kill her and she set his room on fire and stole his stuff. They keep fighting and undermining each other, and then all of a sudden he takes care of her when she gets drunk and blacks out.

He was sweet in that one chapter, I’ll give him that. But honestly, their relationship makes no sense to me at all. I don’t see why they should trust each other, and how are you supposed to date someone you can’t trust?

Either in this book, or the next one we learn about soulmates, and apparently every Fae has one, but it’s up to them to decide if they will be with their soulmate. If they decide they want each other they will not be able to stay away from each other, but if they decide against it, they will not be able to try again no matter how hard they try. I’m guessing that Darius and Orion are supposed to be their soulmates.

The writers kinda forgot to give the other male characters any personality so I’m pretty sure my guess is correct. On top of that Darius’ father has put some kind of spell on Orion and Darius that bonds them. Because of that bond, Orion can feel Darius’ pain and feels the need to protect him. Definitely hasn’t been done so that the four of them have a reason to be together without the other three heirs.

Max, Seth, and Caleb are once again almost completely forgotten. Caleb and Tori are having regular sex and Seth accidentally made Darcy his omega, so they get a bit of attention every now and then, but Max is so irrelevant they might as well kill him off. This time we got to see the story from Caleb’s POV a couple of times, but the only thing he thinks about is Tori, so it’s not like we learned anything about him anyway.

I have just realized that I have no idea what happened in Book 2 and what happened in Book 3, so I’m gonna make this the review about both of the books oh God.

So, not only is Tori regularly screwing Caleb, but Darcy has also decided to make the relationship with Orion official, obviously this is a secret. And while they’re fucking their literal enemies who want them dead, they’re also pulling harmless pranks as if that’s gonna scare the Heirs into submission. Yeah, you sure showed them when you spread the rumor that Caleb likes Pegasuses, gave Seth flies, and put griffin shit in Max’s suit. Technically I suppose you set Darius’ room on fire and made him doubt all his friendships, humiliated Caleb, ruined Seth’s reputation and drove his pack away, and made Max lose the game of whatever your magical sport is called, but all of that is so irrelevant, and most importantly TEMPORARY.

Thankfully, by the end of the second book the girls FINALLY got a hang of their powers and blasted the nymphs with some badass blue fire, scaring the heirs in the process, and passed the Reckoning proving their worth.

Now by the end of book 3, the girls, Darius and Orion get kidnapped by Mr Acrux (Darius’ dad) who uses the twins to summon the fifth element, which is (I think) darkness. While he did this the girls' Order emerged, and they were phoenixes. A rare order that was extinct for over a thousand years, making them unbelievably powerful since no fire (including dragon fire) can harm them, but they can easily kill dragons with their own fire, which is the only fire that can harm a dragon. (of course, they’re stronger than their enemy, how shocking)

Now this gives Darius, Orion, and the twins a reason to work together, since they now have a common enemy - Mr Acrux. Very predictable, yeah I know, but honestly I didn’t expect much from the book series that markets itself as “Hogwarts if Voldemort was the headmaster” and calls itself a “bully romance”. I wasn’t expecting a literary masterpiece. It’s entertaining, funny, and sexy. If I want something profound I’ll read classic literature.

Rating : ⛤⛤

[steddiealltheway]

Eddie and Nancy start talking to each other as a result of the fruity four hanging out together. It’s not that Robin and Steve are excluding them or anything, but sometimes they’re just on a different level with their weird platonic soulmates psychic communication whatever they call it. Anyways, Eddie and Nancy bond over the weirdness of it, but quickly become good friends.

Like good friends. Eddie is at the point where he thinks he can call Nancy his best friend - sorry Gareth you’re like second in command best friend. Sure, they’re a strange mix, but she’s been there for him even after he came out to her. Shortly after, she had revealed that she thought she might have feelings for Robin, and Eddie was absolutely ecstatic and encouraged her to go after her.

See, Eddie is determined not to lose Nancy as a friend. Because what they have is pretty close to what Steve and Robin have which is really saying something. Plus, Nancy is just a good person, so Eddie would never do anything to hurt her. Which is exactly why the only thing he will never tell her is how strong his feelings are for Steve Harrington.

One of the number one rules is to not date your friend’s ex - especially your best friend’s ex. At least, that’s one of the things Eddie got from the cheesy films that he and Nancy love to watch. But he vows to never ever make a move on Steve, and of course Steve will never make a move on him first.

So, Eddie sees nothing wrong with watching a second movie with Steve after Robin and Nancy have left. In fact, Nancy encouraged him to stay with a knowing smile, and if he didn’t know any better, that smile would mean that he should make a move. But there’s no way. Even though Nancy has feelings for Robin - and looks to be on her way to dating her soon - Eddie will not date her ex - well, attempt to date her ex.

And yes, maybe Robin got permission from Steve to date his ex, but that’s because Steve is just the kind of guy who would never sacrifice Robin’s happiness for his own. Nancy is probably the same way, but that just seems like it’ll leave a bitter trail of resentment.

So Eddie tries not to lean into Steve’s touch in the slightest even when he scoots over and drapes an arm over the back of the couch. He’s entirely on edge through the first few minutes of the movie, and then it becomes worse when he realizes Steve is staring at him. Eddie glances over to ask him if he has something on his face when Steve starts to lean in - eyes locked on Eddie’s lips.

Eddie scrambles back until he’s on the end of the couch. “What are you doing?” Eddie asks, breathing heavily as his heart races.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Steve asks with all the Harrington charm that would make Eddie swoon if he wasn’t so terrified.

“You… you can’t do that,” Eddie says as Steve scoots in closer.

He looks over him then stops. “Hey, if I read things wrong, then I’m so sorry. I’ll let it go. But I really thought you liked me,” Steve says eyebrows pinched together.

Eddie sighs. “Is it that obvious?” Then he freezes as he realizes his grave mistake. He should’ve just taken the bait and said he didn’t like him. Shit. What will Nancy think when she finds out?

Then Steve is smiling again and making his way to Eddie’s end of the couch. He flirts, “If you like me, and I like you. Then, I think there’s a pretty simple solution to those feelings.”

Eddie quickly gets off the couch and backs up until his back is against some wall. “Steve, we can’t do this.”

“Why not?” Steve asks with his head cocked to the side looking entirely confused and adorable.

“Because Nancy!” Eddie explains because it’s clear as day that there’s no way this would work since she’s his best friend.

Steve looks even more confused as he stays sitting on the couch. “I’m not dating Nancy, Eddie. And I don’t like her anymore if that’s what you’re trying to imply.”

Eddie takes a deep breath. “I can’t date my best friend’s ex,” he says firmly.

For some reason, this has Steve standing up and making his way to him with a smile. “You’re concerned about hurting Nancy?” Eddie nods because yeah of course he is. Then Steve is getting up in his personal space again and leaning in. “And what if I told you Nancy encouraged me to make a move on you?”

“What?” Eddie splutters out. There’s no way. He hadn’t even told her about his feelings.

Steve’s flirtatious grin disappears as he looks into Eddie’s eyes. “Eddie, I’m serious. I told Nancy about the way I felt, and she told me to do something about it because you definitely felt the same.”

“I didn’t even tell her,” Eddie argues. And Steve finally pulls away. Then, he grabs Eddie’s hand and tugs him into following him. Before Eddie knows it, Steve has a phone in his hand as he dials a number.

“Hey. Yeah, it’s me… Everything is okay here, don’t worry… Yes, I made a move… And Eddie here is refusing all of my advances because he’s afraid to hurt you… of course.” Steve holds out the phone to him. “Nancy wants to talk to you.”

Eddie reluctantly takes the phone. “Hello?”

“Edward Munson, you better kiss Steve right this instant.”

Eddie’s mouth gapes and then he’s firing back, “Nancy Wheeler, I refuse to date your ex because that’s one of the number one rules of what not to do to your best friend.”

There’s a pause on the other line. “What in the world are you talking about?”

Eddie’s hand goes flying up. “In all those movies the girl is backstabbed by a friend who dates her ex and that ruins the whole friendship! I’m not doing that to you!”

There’s a sigh and then Nancy says, “Eddie. Please tell me you’re not basing our friendship off crappy drama movies.” Eddie pauses as he thinks back to all the advice he’s taken from them. There’s a soft, “Oh my god,” on the other line as Eddie twists the phone cord up in his hand. “Okay, okay. Hear me out. Using those movies as example, you know what every one one of those have in common?”

“No,” Eddie admits quietly.

“The girl never gives the other friend permission, and if she does, she certainly doesn’t encourage her ex to act on it as well! Plus, the girls in all those movies are kind of bitches, and I would like to think we don’t stoop as low as they do.”

Eddie takes a breath and quickly asks, “Nancy Wheeler, please tell me you will not hate me forever if I date your ex.”

“I will hate you forever if you don’t date Steve. Eddie, you’ve been pining after him for months!”

“But don’t you think that will lead to some kind of resentment on your part?” Eddie reasons.

There’s a pause on the other line. “The only resentment will come from you because I’m entirely over Steve, and I want both of you to be happy. Plus… I’m pretty content with Robin right now.”

Eddie smiles as he eggs her on, “Pretty content you say?”

There’s a laugh on the other line before Nancy says, “We’ll talk about this later. But right now you better kiss him. He’s been pining after you for some time too, but I never told you that!”

“I love you,” Eddie says sincerely.

Nancy voice softens. “I love you, too. Now get your damn man.” She hangs up and Eddie carefully puts the phone back on the receiver. He turns to find Steve no longer near him. He wanders back to the living room where Steve sits on the couch, foot tapping quickly as he stares off into space looking so concerned that it’s actually endearing.

“Steve?”

Steve’s head snaps to the side as Eddie gets closer to him. “Yeah?” He asks sounding endlessly hopeful.

Eddie leans down and asks, “Is that kiss still an option or…”

Steve takes a moment to process, but then he’s breaking out into the biggest smile as he replies, “Yes, it’s still an option.”

So, Eddie finally leans in and kisses Steve.

He’s going to have a lot to tell Nancy later, including a solid thank you.

God(hcs)

c!multiple x god!reader

notes: the reader will be the god of death to make it a little bit more spicy :). c!punz’s pronouns are he/they, i’m not sure about the others, but i know theirs. also why does ranboo take away my gender? /j

word count: 1,672

warnings: arson, violence, cursing, yelling, mention of death, voices in technos part, spoilers for wilbur if you haven’t watch tommy’s lore stream, revival for wilbur, making a religion, time travel, egg, prison, stealing, anarchy, playful name calling

Sapnap

so obviously y’all would be a great match :)

you have creative mode, so when sap would ask you to give him a lighter and tnt, you would GLADLY give it

also, can we talk about him being a nether hybrid

fire squared

like fires left and right, hide your mom and your children in your house lol /j

but besides the whole arson thing, you favor him above anyone else on the server

like if he asks for diamond blocks, well here’s a whole inventory of it, also, here’s some ancient debris and some netherite

if someone asked, you would probably grant them with poison and curses, just because you can’t be “unloyal” to snapchat 

wouldn’t be lonely anymore

Dreamwastaken

this duo is less chaotic, but chaotic enough where people avoid you

he still asks you for stuff, but most of the time, you don’t give him it because he annoys you too much about giving stuff

“hey y/n/n, can i pretty please get some emerald blocks.”

“nope bitch, get it yourself.”

but sometimes, you grant him some op shit, when it’s your good day

“because i’m being nice, here’s some diamond, now, don’t ask me again you little piss baby.”

“shut your trap y/n.”

“or what homeless teletubby, what are you going to do to a god like me?”

“you hang out with technoblade to much.”

Georgenotfound

maybe the least chaotic duo

you guys keep on relaxing and relaxing until the point where you don’t do anything

he barely asks you for anything, but only when it’s really really important, like a house or build

especially when he was building his little cottagecore house, he needed your godly presence to help

“y/n, what should the roof be made of?”

“i suggest brick, it makes it more aestheticy if that makes any sense.”

also barely any drama or tea with you guys

never arguing and never betraying each other is a must

Tubbo

also another least chaotic duo

literally help him with his bee farm, he will (platonically) love you forever

gotta be close to ranboo, that’s the rule

gives him SO much stuff, he’s a precious boi 🙄

also gotta be close to tommy, but not as much unfortunately

you help him pick out things for builds, like what material clashes with another, etc

“do you think that the wool and the netherite blocks look good together y/n?”

“nah, what i suggest is the wool with the gold, it looks perfect.”

sometiems, gotta put him in check because he gets a little ego built up

you definitely yank his horn a little too hard because of your IMMENSE STRENGTH

“OW, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT Y/N.”

“calm down sunny, you were just getting a bit over your head a little.”

Tommyinnit

chaotic duo like sapnap

snaps at anyone who annoys you and vice versa

you give him EVERYTHING, obviously except op and creative

he tries to persuade you to do something, but dreamxd wouldn’t allow it, since he is the main boss

“come on y/n, give me op.”

“no tommy, xd will kick my ass.”

“pweaseee.”

“no.”

you would DEFINITELY help him with the Big Innit Hotel, making the whole layout and color palette.

both of you have an intense hatred for ranboo, since he “stole” tubbo away from tommy

Ranboo

least involved in everything

just stay in the tundra and drink some tea, and you’re good for all of your life

helps him get netherite all the time so your boii can get the good stuff 😬

when he mines to get diamonds, he literally prays to you

“y/n, if you’re listening, please give me a 6 vein, i desperately need it for my collection of diamond blocks.”

and THERE IT IS

more than a 6 vein actually, a 12 vein

guess he needs to pray to you more

daily tea sessions, to talk about the good stuff, and NO, and i repeat NO skipping

threatening to flick water on him check ✅

Wilbur Soot

literally you spoil him

not to be angsty, but when he died and lost his last canon life, you revived him instead of Dream

now he’s practically at your knees

like he’s thinks that he owes you, but actually that’s the opposite

he was revived because you were lonely, and wanted your best friend back :(

prays to you when he goes to bed

“hey y/n, hope you’re having a great day, (platonically) love you.”

“love you too mortal.”

sometimes, to be at the peak of godness, you shower upon wilbur as gold to symbolize blessings, like zeus did before

“omg y/n, what are you doing?”

“i’m trying to bless you, shut up bitch.”

just saying, he would make a religion about you :/

Karl Jacobs

omg don’t get me started on this

first, you wouldn’t codone him going back in time

he would definitely forget your name a lot, so that’s why you hated it

“hey karl, how are you doing?”

“i’m sorry, but do i know you?”

ANGST IS TOO MUCH FOR ME

you were definitely the one to push him towards sapnap and quackity

this is also another spoiled boi

give him the entire world while you’re at it pwease

he wants a few diamonds, nope, give him a chest full of them

Quackity

why are there so much chaotic duos in here?

literally chaos times infinity

energy to the max

literally, did you take an energy drink

grants him every wish he can randomly think off

“can i get a bucket with lava and a fish in it?”

“weird choice, but ok man.”

gotta be close to sap and karl or he isn’t your friend anymore /j

helps with las nevadas a lot, and definitely tries to rig the machines so you get money

“hey big q, i got 10,000 dollars.”

“that’s impossible... y/n, did you cheat?”

“nooo 😊”

help him preen his wings, and he goes “I LOVE YOU, MWAH MWAH.” obviously in his mind 🙄

Awesamdude

definitely helps him maintain the prison

you both love setting up red stone contraptions and pistons and all that giz

“hey sam, do you know where the redstone torches are?”

“yeah, there behind the pistons in the back.”

also you helped build the prison, since he could do that by himself

“are you sure that lava wall will work y/n, your calculations seem inaccurate.”

“i’m sure sam, this will add some more security to this goddamn server.”

nerd squared lol

BadBoyHalo

wouldn’t condone the egg

you warned him multiple times to get away from its grasp, but most of the times he’ll decline

“i won’t y/n, the egg is the future.”

he still, even after all the advancements, even after everything, he tries to ask you to join the eggpire

“come on y/n, you’ll like being with us.”

“i don’t wanna be on a stupid egg side, like let me crack the egg, i wanna eat it and turn it into a omelette.”

he doesn’t like that joke :(

but before he discovered the egg, both of you were joint at the hip

sight seeing was a must

languages being thrown around everywhere, since you were the little language muffin

Punz

steals stuff from everyone

hide your stuff, because the punzo-y/n team is unstoppable

definitely they can be really stubborn and indecisive

like one day, he will be like, “i need gold blocks.” and the next, “nevermind, i need netherite actually.”

like hon, stop switching

also anarchy buddies

burning down forests and buildings are your guys’s specialty

when you give him gold when they doesn’t ask, his heart goes brrr and his brain goes, “pog pog, they’re so cool, lets hug them.”

Technoblade

now this is the most deadly duo in the entire Dream Smp

better not piss you guys off 😐

he’s the Blood God, and you’re the God/Goddess/God being of Death

so if some occasion where you need to battle someone, like Techno’s enemies, *clears throat and murmurs Quackity*, you will obviously back your boy up :)

help him with enchanting and potions and he’s set for life

also you got have to be close to the great Philza Minecraft since him and Techno are buddy buddy

anarchy squared

helps with the voices since you have some of your own

“so what you’re saying is that i need to pay attention to them?”

“yeah, when i first learned that the voices were in my head, i tried to ignore them, but that sucked. so what i did was try to distract myself with various tasks, and that sucked.”

“so what do i do, you’re saying that i should listen to them, but how do i do that when they literally shout at me.”

“just embrace it, obviously when they do their little chant of blood for the blood god, you have to ignore them.”

“you suck at advice.”

Philza Minecraft

so since both of you resemble death, him being the Angel of Death and you being the God/Goddess/God being of Death, y’all are fucking best friends, platonic soulmates if you will

death squared

watch out, because if you piss them off, prepare to d-

gotta be close to Ranboo and Techno, and obviously others who he platonically likes

he doesn’t need to ask you for stuff, he’s the fricking Angel of Death, but he will ask you to preen his wings :D

“ow, not there y/n.”

“oh shut up grandpa, let me do it.”

“I’M NOT OLD DUMBASS.”

Dream XD

two gods at once, damn there is so much chaos

left and right, you guys are noticed by everyone, like purrrr

y’all would be in some fancy shit, to show your power

you would get jealous of him hanging out with george

“why are you jealous y/n?”

“you’re hanging out with george to much, hang out with me please :(.”

gifts are a must, even though both of you have access to creative

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, it’s not that it’s weird…you know, he’s not weirding you out or anything but it is a little…strange. Taehyung has looked at you a million times before and there has been a million different emotions behind his eyes. Lately, his emotional eyes have heavily expressed skepticism…the dark brown swirling with hesitance. Sure, it hurt having to gaze into those honest eyes of his and know what they are saying but it’s not like that was the only thing they said. Love and adoration could be seen as well, they were just being mixed around with whatever was holding him back.

But you are sitting here at the table, eating breakfast with your family when you keep feeling Taehyung’s eyes bore into you. You’d look over at him and swat his knee and tell him to pay attention to the plate of food in front of him but you’ve never been good at tearing your eyes off his intense gaze. You’d be stuck, feeling the thrill of his stare. And well, you’re eating breakfast with your family so…

You know how intense and intimidating his gaze can be, you are well aware of the affect he has on you. Glancing over at him to see what his deal is could be dangerous but dear god, you can’t focus on this piece of toast with his eyes on the side of your head.

“Tae—” You snap your head towards him and when you lock eyes you freeze. You expected to be met with heat but you are left feeling a little confused. There is no intensity or intimidation. The air around you is light and comforting and his eyes are full of innocence.

“W-What?” You are cautious to ask…yeah, he’s being a little weird.

Taehyung only grins for you, bringing his fork to his mouth and stuffs it with eggs. With his mouth full he smiles wider and shakes his head playfully.

“No, nothing.” He sings, his eyes turning to crescents from his grin.

“Anyway…” You say slowly, narrowing your eyes at him before turning your head to speak to your mom. “I was googling some stuff and the internet says a good way to try and regain memories is to try and do or say things until you might recognize…I was thinking—”

“I’m sure they will come back, y/n.” Ellie cuts you off as she chews on some pancakes, “We don’t want to overdo it. Rest is sure to help.”

“I think we should be a little more proactive.” You snap, “Mom doesn’t even remember…It doesn’t matter, I don’t know why you guys,” You gesture towards your family, “Are so chill about everything? Oh, I get it. You two have it easy with mom but I—”

Suddenly, you feel Taehyung’s hand on your thigh, giving it a soft squeeze. You turn to face him and his eyes are now expressing his pity. They also say you should calm down.

“Honey…” Your mom catches your attention now, “It’s going to be fine…” Your mother has an unreadable expression on her face as she exchanges strange glances with your father and sister. “One day at a time.”

“Fine.” You breathe out, “Whatever.”

But it’s not fine and not “whatever”…something fishy is going on, you can tell. Your mom and sister look suspicious and your dad constantly looks uncomfortable. Are they keeping something from you? Oh god…what if her condition is worse than they are leading on? What if her memories never return?

“Well,” Your father clears his throat awkwardly, “It looks like everyone’s about done…how about we clean up and—”

“Yeah, I’ll do the dishes.” You mutter, already standing and gathering your plate and Taehyung’s plate…his mouth hangs open in disappointment because apparently he wasn’t actually finished with his breakfast.

“I can help.” Your mother offers, gathering some dishes of her own.

“Ellie shouldn’t you offer too?” Your dad grins at your sister and she immediately shakes her head.

“Oh no, no. y/n seems eager enough, I don’t think she needs any more helping hands.”

Well, she’s right actually. You are eager enough…you are actually looking forward to washing some dishes for a while—anything to keep you busy and your mind off everything for a minute.

The situation with your mother is to put it simply—stressful. And you’re a bit caught off guard still since earlier this morning…waking up to Taehyung crying and wanting to take you on a trip? Everything is all just a bit much right now.

“No one has to help me, to be honest.” You glance up at your mother who already has her hands full.

“Oh, nonsense.” She brushes you off. “Everyone needs a little help sometimes.”

~

The water is hotter than you’d actually like, your skin slightly burning every time your hands go under the quick stream of water with some dirty plate. But you welcome the burn…steam rising into your face. To be honest, you haven’t even processed the whole Taehyung thing…you don’t even know where to begin and you have decided now is not the time to delve into it. He said something about “when things get better here” and you’re growing frustrated because you are wondering if that’s even going to happen.

“Everything okay?” You hear your mother ask from beside you, her hands busy with drying dishes with a towel. “You seem…” she trails off unknowingly, silently waiting for you to respond to her.

“Fine.” You mumble, your hand stinging from the fiery water. “Just tired…didn’t sleep the most comfortable.”

“Ah, that’s right. You and Taehyung fell asleep on the porch bench.” Your mom giggles, “I’m sure your butt is sore from the wood.”

“Yeah, it wasn’t the best place I’ve fallen asleep.” You chuckle quietly, rubbing the sponge over the plate in your hand. “It was nice though.” Your small smile appears on your face just in time for your mother to catch it when she glances at you.

“Yes, stargazing on a cold night. Pretty romantic.” She bumps your hip with hers, “Reminds me of my show. When Paula and Bill are out stargazing and everything is just so…” You mom does a little happy dance, “Of course,” She starts laughing, “The romance kind of died down when Bill admitted he’s the one who killed Arthur.”

“Hold on!” You whip your head in your mom’s direction. “Bill is the one who killed Arthur?! I was so sure it was Ollie…” You stare at her in disbelief. “Talk about plot twist.”

“What? You didn’t know?!” Your mother gasps at you, “I told you to watch that episode!!! It was so good! You always make fun of my soap operas but you binge it too.”

“I meant to watch it! Oh my god, you really spoiled this for me.” You start laughing as well, “I wonder how Paula reacted…” You ponder out loud. You shake your head, putting your focus on this cup you’re washing until you’re hit with a sudden realization.

“Wait.” You drop the cup in the sink, your hand moving from under the water, the sudden coolness hitting your skin, soothing the burn.

“Didn’t that episode air only a couple of months ago? Even less…I remember you told me to watch it and…” you turn to face your mom who is blinking at you repeatedly. “Mom…you remember that?”

“Um…oh, I guess…I do…” Her eyes slide to the side, “So weird.”

“You…” Then your eyes begin getting watery, “Oh my god, you remembered something.” You say, trying to keep your emotions at bay. “Do you—do you remember anything else?”

Your mom feels her heart sink at the sight of you…you look so hopeful yet so desperate. This is a bit harder than she thought it would be…

“Are you…are your memories back?” Your voice cracks as you manage a smile. “Try to think…maybe you can remember something else.”

“Umm…” Your mom is at a loss for what to do…”I uh, remember the doctor saying that random bursts of memory can occur…I don’t think I really remember anything else…”

The sudden look of devastation on your face has your mother gulping. Maybe your father was right…maybe this wasn’t actually the greatest of ideas. She didn’t think of the consequences…how you would feel. It seemed harmless at the time when Ellie brought it up…

“Oh.” Is all you say. Then you are turning back towards the sink and thrusting your hands into the hot water again.

~~~~~~~~

“What is taking them so long?” Your father wonders, his hands digging into a bucket full of home video tapes. “I told your mother exactly where the chord was…”

“You know her and Ellie,” You mutter, picking at your nails as you and Taehyung sit side by side on one of the couches. “Probably found something more interesting in that old drawer.”

“Only thing interesting in there is a variation of batteries.” He rolls his eyes, trying to find the right tape he is looking for.

“I wish they would hurry.” Taehyung grins, gripping your thigh. “I would love to see videos of you when you were a kid.”

“Honestly, Ellie was the funny child. I mostly glared at everyone and didn’t eat anything—”

“—anything but chicken nuggets. Trust me, I am fully expecting bratty y/n.” Taehyung chuckles, squeezing your thigh before letting go and bringing his hand back to his lap.

“I wasn’t a brat!” You pout, “I was just…particular.”

“She was a brat.” Your father chimes in, lighting up when he finally spots the tape he was looking for. “Found it!” he cheers.

“They are kind of taking a while…” You point out, your head looking towards the hall. “I’ll go see what’s up.” You say while standing from the couch, you hear a grunt of approval from your father before heading towards the back room you know your mom and sister are in.

You’re approaching the cracked open door when you hear soft words being exchanged, you pause because you’re certain you heard your name. You lean into the door, not giving yourself away, trying to listen in.

“Oh, come on.” You hear Ellie drag out the words, “y/n doesn’t suspect a thing.”

Of course, this catches your attention. Suspect what? “You should have seen her face, El.”

“The plan is working!” Ellie whisper shouts, “I can tell.”

“And how can you even tell?” You hear your mom sounding tired, “We got him to stay…true, but she’s so worried over this whole memory thing that…”

“Let’s just keep it going a little longer, mom. It would be awkward to say the truth no—”

“And what truth is that?” You swing the door open, your unimpressed face giving away your knowledge of their conversation.

“Oh shit.” Ellie bites her bottom lip, “Well, I guess this was one way for things to happen.”

“What truth?” You repeat, your face morphing into something a little more angry.

“Before you get mad—”

“Already there.” You spit out, “What plan is working?”

Of course, you are kind of getting an idea. But you are not about to accuse your mother of faking her amnesia because…because that would be crazy, right?

“Hello?” You grit out, your hand on your hip, your fingers digging into your side.

“Okay.” Your mom says calmly, her eyes going between you all. “It’s going to sound ridiculous…”

“But our intentions are good.” Ellie butts in, “So remember that before you decide to commit murder.” She raises her hands up, trying to lighten the mood but it doesn’t really work.

“Don’t tell me…” You shake your head, “No.”

“Maybe I didn’t really lose my memories.” Your mom says a little quieter now. “We uh,” She glances over at your sister, “We wanted to find a way to get Taehyung to stay…”

“To stay?” You repeat, disbelief written all over your face. “And this was your?! Your idea to get…?!” You stare at your mother and sister incredulously. “This is literally insane. Oh my god…insane.” You mutter out, your eyes falling to the floor. “This is…does dad…family meeting.” You bring your eyes back up to meet your moms, “Family meeting!” You yell out before storming out of the room.

“She doesn’t seem too happy obviously but I feel like if we were going to die at her hands it would have happened already.” Ellie shrugs, “Right?”

Your mother rolls her eyes, nodding her head towards the door. “Come on.” She says.

~

You stand in the middle of the living room while your mom, sister and dad sit on one couch while Taehyung occupies the other. You are livid, to say the least. Taehyung thinks he can see steam leave your ears as you look at your family members with a hardened gaze. What the hell is happening, Taehyung thinks. You look pissed, that’s for sure. Maybe a little cute too, the way your shoulders are risen towards your ears and your nose is all scrunched up.

“I called for this family meeting because…” You glance at your mom and sister, your mother who seems to shrink in her seat while Ellie looks off to the side. “Because I have just unlocked some crazy secret!” You throw your hands up. “Dad,” Your eyes find your fathers now, “Mom and Ellie have something to tell you.”

“Oh, please.” Your mom shakes her head, looking guilty as she eyes your dad. “He knows, obviously.”

“Y-You know?” You furrow your brows as you concentrate on your father who looks uncomfortable all over again. Then you are releasing a long breath. “Of course you knew. It’s why you’ve been so..” You give him your best look of disappointment.

“It wasn’t my idea though!” Your father points out, “I was against it!”

“It wasn’t your…” You repeat quietly, “But still! Guilty by association!” You point at him, “You’re all guilty and weird! Very weird! This is literally insane!”

“I tried telling them that!” Your dad shifts uncomfortably in his spot, his arms crossing over his chest. “They’re the weird ones!”

“While I agree with you, you’re still guilty.” You cross your own arms over your chest, “Mom.” You look back at your mother, “This is proof that your soap operas are no good. Like what episode of your show did this scenario happen on?!”

“Oh don’t blame her.” Ellie says, bored. “It was my idea.”

“Obviously I know it was your idea, Ellie. The fact it’s so stupid totally gives away who came up with it!” You shout at your sister, “No one else would have thought of something so dumb! The dumbassery of it all really suits you!”

“Ouch.” Ellie says, but she’s not actually hurt by your words.

“Umm…” You are so caught up in all of this you kind of forgot about Taehyung who sits here awkwardly, looking between all of you. “What exactly….are you guys even talking about?” He asks, his genuine confusion making you snort. Right, you think. He has no idea what is even going on. This is so embarrassing.

“Mom…” You begin, feeling yourself grow warmer with how humiliating this all is. “She lied to us.”

“I wouldn’t call it a lie—”

“You shush.” You snap, “She and Ellie came up with some insane plan thinking it would get you to stay longer.”

“Me?” Taehyung points at himself, his innocent eyes boring into yours. “Stay? For what? What was the lie?”

“She didn’t lose her memories.” You say bluntly, “In fact, I don’t think anything is even wrong with her.” You pause…”Well, besides the fact she might be crazy.”

Taehyung’s eyes expand comically. He wasn’t expecting this…he admits…this is uh, pretty fucked up, he thinks. Really fucked up actually.

“Can you just…” Your mom stands up now, “Can you just hear us out?”

“This should be good.” You roll your eyes, “Yes, please.” You gesture towards her sarcastically, “Please tell us how this was some great plan!”

“Listen.” She hesitates to get closer to you, deciding maybe some distance is a good idea. “When I woke up…my first thought was you.”

“Thanks mom.” Ellie deadpans, but snorts when your father swats her arm.

“I was so worried about you dear…” She says honestly, you pinch your brows together in slight confusion. “You really grew up so much, you know?” She looks down at her feet, “You finally had courage to go to Korea to find Taehyung.” Your mom glances at Taehyung who looks just as confused as you.

“And?” You whisper, needing her to go on.

“And…well, Ellie said you had returned and Taehyung was with you.” She continues, “I thought this was a good sign but when I asked Ellie about it she said you had been…unsuccessful, to put it lightly.” She finds your eyes, pity pooling inside them. “I just…I wanted to help anyway I could. I figured all you two needed was to put everything bad that has happened behind you guys and just focus on what brought you together in the first place.” She takes a breath before finishing, “We thought if we got Taehyung to remember why he fell in love with you then he would…stay in love with you…and you guys would…I don’t know, we thought it could work…”

“I…” You shake your head, at a loss for words.

“I know it wasn’t the …smartest thing we’ve come up with. But y/n…I just…”

“Your mother was willing to throw away her shame and dignity to do this for you, honey.” Your father butts in lightly, earning a glare from your mom towards him. “What? It’s true…”

“What he means is…a parent is willing to do just about anything for their child’s happiness.” Your mom glances back at you. “I know it was…”

“Insane.” You mutter for the hundredth time. “But I am sorry…for worrying you so much.” You feel your throat burn, “I feel so selfish. Having you worry about my pathetic love life.” You say and Taehyung winces at this.

“I just want you to be happy.” She takes a step towards you now but you back away, you lift your head and make it obvious you are still pissed.

“y/n…” Ellie stands too, “I’m sorry we lied to you, seriously. But—”

“No buts!” You point at her, “You made me think….and made me worry…I…”

“Can’t you find it in your heart to forgive us?” Ellie smiles at you, “Your heart is just so pretty and big and forgiving…”

“If you don’t stop talking I swear I will throw hands with you.” You say with a straight face, ���And dad, you are not off the hook either—” Suddenly, Taehyung is standing up, startling you as he faces your family. He looks at everyone before bowing towards your mother and staying like that for a few seconds before straightening his back.

“Thank you.” He says, the sincerity in his voice making you upset all over again.

“Thank you?!” You shout towards him now and he chuckles, “Why are you laughing?!”

“Because you are so worked up and it’s a little entertaining.” He teases you honestly. “But although it was a bit…uh, unconventional. I think they did a good thing.”

“A goo—you realize this is borderline traumatizing, right?” You ask him incredulously.

“Okay, maybe, yeah.” He agrees, “But it worked.”

“What worked?” You stutter, “Getting you to stay?”

“We had to get him to stay! You told me that once mom wakes up he was going to go back to Korea!” Ellie quickly yells out, “We needed to come up with something—”

“Why didn’t you just, I don’t know, communicate?! This was so extreme! Oh my god, I think it’s you all who needs therapy. You should really see someone.” You nod your head quickly. “Yup—”

“y/n.” Taehyung turns to you, walking closer and closer making your pulse quicken. “It’s okay, it’s okay.” He tells you, trying his best to reassure you. “I’m on your side, this was fucked up.” He glances back at your parents, “Sorry, for the language.” He quickly apologies before looking back at you. “But hey, it worked. They wanted me to have a breakthrough and I did.”

“What are you talking about?” You question him. “I—” Then you notice all eyes on you both, “They’re staring.” You whisper.

“I know.” He whispers back, stifling a chuckle. “Maybe we should talk somewhere more private.”

“No, no.” Ellie says nonchalantly, “You aren’t bothering us. You can continue.” She gestures towards you both with a smirk and you roll your eyes.

“Eat a dick.” You tell her and she tries to hold in her laughter.

“y/n!” Your mother scolds with a shocked expression while your father just looks disturbed. You just shrug while Taehyung reaches for your hand and takes you down the hall to a bedroom—the same one he is staying in.

“I’m so mad, Taehyung.” You blurt out as soon as he closes the bedroom door.

“I know…it’s a little crazy, I’m not going to lie to you.” He walks towards the bed and sits on the edge.

“Exactly! And that’s why I’m mad honestly. I’m mad because this is so freaking embarrassing!” You throw your hands up before walking towards the bed as well and taking a seat next to him. “Like who the hell does that?!”

Taehyung starts laughing, “So you’re upset because you’re embarrassed not because they…lied?”

“Well, yeah the lie is something to be pissed about but of course I am embarrassed! You probably think my family is crazy now and that maybe I’m crazy too!”

“Oh.” Taehyung nods his head subtly, “I knew you were crazy since way before though—ow.” He’s laughing to himself as he rubs his arm on the spot you just hit. “It’s okay. Don’t be embarrassed. It was uh, not the way most people would have done things but maybe it was worth it.”

“Worth it? How the hell…can you please explain it to me.” You drag your eyes up to meet his, they speak to you again. His honest eyes full of light.

“Not here.” He tells you softly and this just confuses you further.

“Where then? I—” You’re cut off by the sound and feel of your phone vibrating against your right ass cheek. “Someone’s calling me.” You point out the obvious.

“I gathered that.” Taehyung tells you, his smug smile making you roll your eyes before you’re reaching behind you to get your phone from your pocket.

“Oh. It’s Jimin.” You say before sliding your finger across the screen to answer the call, “Hello. You’re on speaker.” You tell him.

“You answered!” Jimin cheers loudly, “I—”

“Hey!” Taehyung cuts him off, “I texted you like an hour ago and haven’t heard from you at all and here you are calling y/n?!”

“Priorities, I guess.” Jimin shrugs on the other line, “Anyway, I haven’t heard from you in a while…wanted to see how things were going.”

“Oh god.” You’re groaning, realizing you are only going to continue to feel embarrassed knowing you have to share this story with your friends.

“Things are fine.” Taehyung says for you, “Uh, her mom is okay.”

“My mom is insane.” You deadpan, relaxing your shoulders as you huff out. “She faked the whole thing.”

“Huh?” Jimin says after a moment of silence. “I don’t get it.”

“I don’t think any of us really…”get”…it.” You sigh out, “Anyway, things are okay. No more worries on my end. How are things over there?”

“Okay…” Jimin says slowly, hesitating to continue. “If you’re sure….well, things here are fine. Jungkook won’t go back to his own damn place—”

“You love it when I’m here!” You hear Jungkook shout in the distance and finally for the first time since the craziness of the day you crack a smile.

“Hi Jungkook.” You sing into the phone, “Keeping our Jiminie company?”

“He acts like he doesn’t want to have company but you know he lives off it.” You hear Jungkook say, a lot closer to the phone now. “So what’s up with you guys? Taehyung, when are you coming back?”

“Tomorrow.” He says, surprising you. Tomorrow? He’s leaving so soon? Well, that makes sense you guess…what were you expecting? Your mother is fine. Which is something you are obviously happy about—and equally embarrassed about.

“Oh wow,” Jimin is speaking into the phone now. “That’s good…we’ve really missed you.”

“He means he’s really missed you.” Jungkook corrects with a sly smile you can only imagine.

“We’ve all missed him.” Jimin retorts.

“Yeah, but Jimin has missed you the most.” Jungkook teases and you’re all laughing.

“And of course we have missed you just as much y/n.” Jimin says softly, “When’s the next time we’ll see you?”

“Well,” You sigh, trying your best to smile. “I don’t know…”

“The same time you guys see me.” Taehyung leans into your hand that holds your phone, “She’s coming with me.”

“What?! You’re coming back so soon, y/n? That’s amazing! Will you be staying with me again? I still have that candle you like—”

“No, weirdo. She’s staying with me…but we won’t be in town very long though.” Taehyung keeps his eyes on your phone screen as you stare at the side of his face. What? Wait what?

“Oh?” Jungkook questions cutely, “Where are you guys going?”

“Yeah.” You clear your throat, knocking out of the little daze you were in. “Yeah, where are we going?”

“Secret.” He tells you, still only looking at your phone but you can see the side of his face, how his cheek is burning a bright red.

“Secret?” Jimin asks, “Well, all that matters is that you two are coming here!”

“I’m …confused.” You admit quietly, your eyes staying on Taehyung as he grins down at your phone and quickly says bye to the boys before touching the end button. You slowly lower your hand into your lap as you continue to gaze at the boy next to you.

“Taehyung?”

“I asked you earlier….” Taehyung lifts his eyes to find your confused gaze, “If that when this all gets better here…that you would go on a trip with me?”

“Oh.” You blink at him, your confusion only growing. “I guess?”

“Well, things are better here now. So, uh, that trip.”

“Taehyung, my job—”

“They already gave you permission for a couple of weeks right? Because of your mom? Just…take advantage of this time off.” He shrugs with a smirk. “I really think you should go on this trip with me.”

“What trip? To Korea?”

“No. Somewhere else. But I need to go home first, sort some things out.” He tells you, his hand finding your thigh. “Do you trust me?”

“I…” You stare into Taehyung’s eyes. The eyes that never lie. He looks nervous, hopeful, desperate and innocent all at once. “I do trust you.” You breathe out, the words tumbling out of your mouth without you even having to think about it.

“Then just follow my lead for the next few days. Things will make sense soon, I promise. There’s something I want to do for you. For us.” His voice is soft and low, almost like his melodic hum that soothes you.

“Okay.” You find yourself agreeing, your eyes stuck on his. “I’ll go where you want me to.”

Taehyung pulls his brows together as he forms a smile for you, his hand reaching up to cup your cheek. He nods slowly and caresses your skin as you lean into his touch. He wants to melt because he’s touching you but you’ve beat him to it. Your own form turning into a puddle as you soak in his warm touch.

“Let’s buy our tickets.” He whispers and then you get a cute little devious look in your eyes, “What?” He asks.

“I’m telling my parents to buy our tickets.” You grin, “I think they owe me.”

~~~~~~~~~~

Korea is as beautiful as ever. The scenery has really become your favorite…the way the sky is lit up with a variety of warm colors, the sun threatening to set soon. The cool breeze is nice and chilly and makes you feel like you can breathe easier—it helps you aren’t on a plane anymore. You and Taehyung landed not too long ago, you both wait outside with your luggage, noticing Jungkook’s car come into view. You can see Jimin’s face break out into his beautiful smile, his eyes disappearing in the process and you start waving.

The ride to Taehyung’s place takes around 30 minutes, Jimin and Jungkook chatting in the front seats while you and Taehyung sit in the back, your head leaning against the car window as you watch the busy streets zoom by. It feels nice to be in Jimin and Jungkook’s company, it feels nice to be in Korea and it feels nice that Taehyung is also next to you. You love it here. It feels more like home the more and more you come.

“Bro your mom sounds fucking crazy.” Jungkook blurts out, his head bobbing around before he makes a right turn. “No offense, of course.”

“None taken.” You shrug. “So, we’re all hanging out tonight, right? My phone died on the plane, fucking sucked, by the way, but I have no idea what the group chat looks like right now!”

“Yeah, everyone’s coming over tonight.” Taehyung glances over at you with a smile, “Jimin and Jungkook will keep you company for a while before everyone gets there though.”

“Huh?” You tilt your head in confusion. “What do you mean? Why does it sound like you won’t be around?”

“Because I won’t be.” Taehyung grins at you, “Have to go to my parent’s for a bit. Shouldn’t take too long though.”

“Oh?” You look towards the review mirror and your eyes meet Jungkook’s, you can see how he’s smiling himself. “Okay…”

“Suddenly don’t love being with us, y/n?” Jimin teases, “That’s too bad, because you’re stuck with us. In this situation and you know, in life.”

“No one else I’d rather be stuck with than you two.” You laugh, “As long as you both agree on whatever movie I want…unlike every other time.”

“I want action packed!” Jungkook whines, “Not whatever mushy shit you want to watch.”

“You literally cried when we watched The Notebook…” You point out, “You fucking love the mushy shit.”

“Uh, you think The Notebook isn’t action packed?” Jungkook giggles, “I’m sure Ryan Reynolds would disagree with how hard he worked on that house.”

“Gosling. Not Reynolds.” You blink, unenthused. “Anyway, Jimin how about you decide on what movie?”

“Not sure if there is even enough time for a movie…” Jimin murmurs, too busy on his phone, “It’s already past 6 and everyone will get there around 8.”

“Oh.” You nod your head. “Fine, Jungkook you got lucky this time.”

“I’m always getting lucky.” He says cockily, “Yoongi thinks—”

“—Ew, we don’t need to know.” You fake gag, making all the boys laugh. “Jimin?”

“Hm?” He finally lifts his head and turns around in his seat to see you, “What’s up?” He asks, his soft smile spreading across his face.

“I know you wanted to binge Disney movies.” You reach forward and poke his nose, “Next time, I promise.”

“You promised! She promised, Jungkook!” Jimin faces forward in his seat again, “We have to hold her to it.”

“It’s not like any of us don’t want to watch Disney movies.” Jungkook murmurs with a soft chuckle, “We always can agree on like Toy Story or something.”

“Is watching a lot of movies something you guys do often?” Taehyung asks you all, his smile on his face genuine.

“Oh yeah.” Jimin nods enthusiastically. “When y/n is back at home we would all video chat and watch the same movie at the same time. Kind of became our thing, I guess.” Jimin shrugs cutely, his smile wide.

“Yeah,” Jungkook agrees, his eyes focused on the road ahead.

“We’re good at keep one another company.” You giggle to yourself before turning your head to face Taehyung who just looks at you with an odd smile.

“I’m glad.” He whispers, “You weren’t lonely.”

It’s hard to hear with how quietly he whispered but you think you caught what he was saying. You just nod and go back towards the car window, leaning your head against it again…instead of noticing the scenery outside you just focus on the smile you see in your own reflection.

~

“She’s going to love it, Taehyungie.” Jimin reassures Taehyung for the hundredth time. “It’s seriously so perfect. I don’t know why you are so nervous!”

“Jimin’s right!” Jungkook agrees quickly, “She hasn’t shown you any sign of not wanting to be with you so?”

“It just…” Taehyung pauses, glances behind him to make sure you’re still in the bathroom showering, “It holds a lot of meaning, you know?”

“Exactly…that’s why it’s so perfect.” Jimin reaches for Taehyung’s hand, he squeezes it tightly, trying to transfer his confidence over to him. “Would I…the person who loves you most in this whole world, steer you wrong?” Jimin teases, letting go of Taehyung’s hand. “She is the best person possible for you.”

“I know.” Taehyung gulps, “Anyway, I got to head to my parents. You know, pathetically ask for one last favor and all.” He scratches the back of his neck with a chuckle. “I’ll be back. Let y/n know, please.”

“Course.” Jungkook nods, “See you in a while, man.”

~

Being with everyone feels surreal. Sure, Korea is beautiful and you love the scenery so much but this? Being with everyone? That’s the part that feels most like home. Hearing Hobi laugh loudly at something Jin had said is making you giggle yourself, hearing Yoongi complain that he didn’t even his Jin’s joke because Namjoon kept mumbling something about some badass lyrics he just came up with on the spot also makes you giggle even harder.

Yuna is attached to your side, her little hands surprisingly strong as she holds on to you tightly. You continue to laugh as you notice Jiwoo trying to drag her off of you, an apologetic look in her eyes. Instead of encouraging Jiwoo to successfully get Yuna off of you, you instead pull Jiwoo in as well and you hug the girls. Yuna chanting ‘group hug’ over and over as you giggle, Jiwoo turning red from embarrassment.

Jungkook and Jimin both lean against the bar top in Taehyung’s kitchen and sip their beers with pleased smiles on their faces. You finally let go of the girls before making your way over to the two guys. They tip their beers towards you in cheers, you walk past them to grab your own drink and then stand in front of them.

“Obviously you two know something I don’t.” You give them the side eye and Jimin cracks into a loving smile.

“Maybe?” He laughs again, “You don’t have to know everything though.”

“No fun.” You pout, but bring your drink to your lips and chug it back some. “I don’t know why I’m here.” You admit, lowering your drink along with your voice. “But I’m happy I am. But I feel a little on edge too.”

“Oh.” Jimin breathes out, his eyes darting towards Jungkook who looks as panicked as Jimin. “Um, don’t feel on edge y/n.”

“Easy for you to say!” You roll your eyes playfully, “Well, Tae told me to trust him…so I am going to do that.”

“Good.” Jungkook says, a sigh of relief leaving his lips. “Speaking of Taehyung…wonder what’s taking so long?” He glances over at the front door.

“I’ll call him.” Jimin offers, as if it wasn’t obvious that it was going to be him. “Be back.”

Jimin walks towards Taehyung’s room, pulling out his phone in the process. You watch as Jimin disappears into the bedroom, your eyes trailing along the room now. Happy to see everyone’s happy faces.

“I’m back!” You hear Taehyung’s deep voice as he enters the apartment, you spin around in your spot and see him. He’s as handsome as ever, a cute boxy grin on his face as he lights up when he sees you. “Hi.”

“Hi.” You say, “Jimin was just calling you.”

“Huh?” Taehyung pulls out his phone and shows you his blank screen. “Nothing yet.” He shrugs, “Are you guys drunk yet?” Taehyung walks further into his place, greeting everyone with smiles.

You glance over to Taehyung’s room and wonder what Jimin is doing. Jungkook notices your fixed gaze before he’s putting a hand on your shoulder.

“He’s probably just tired. He didn’t really sleep last night.” Jungkook informs you, “I’ll go get him!”

You watch as Jungkook wanders into Taehyung’s room as well, only a minute passes by before Jungkook and Jimin are exiting the room, laughing at something Jungkook said. You turn to focus your gaze on everyone else, the apartment filling with everyone’s loud voices and laughter. It really is a wonderful feeling, being here.

Hours have passed, everyone is a bit drunk at this point…somehow you guys have managed to not receive any type of noise complaint from neighbors. You are pretty sober though and you notice Taehyung is as well, he hasn’t touched his drink for some time now. You are both sitting on his living room floor along with everyone else, his shoulder keeps bumping yours and you feel so tempted to lean into him but is that okay?

“I know you guys are drunk now but I’ll ask again tomorrow,” Taehyung chuckles, “But you do mind taking me and y/n to the airport tomorrow afternoon?” He asks, his question directed at Jimin and Jungkook.

“The afternoon?” Jungkook slurs, “That’s so early.”

“It’s…the afternoon…” Taehyung tries to keep his laughter in, “But I guess with the hangover you guys might have, I could see why you think it’s early.”

“Shut up, Jungkook.” Jimin shoves Jungkook lightly. “Of course, we can take you.”

“Airport?” You look up at Taehyung and he just grins at you. “We’re already leaving?”

“Told you we weren’t going to be here long.” He reminds you, “It’s only for the weekend.”

“And then what?” You blink up at him and Taehyung’s face goes from smiling, to frowning back to smiling.

“I guess that depends.” He whispers, “Who’s turn is it now?” He shouts towards your friends, leaving your conversation at that.

~

The drive to the airport goes by way too quickly, you wanted some extra time with your friends before you and Taehyung go to—well, you have no idea where. You’re nervous as hell. But it’s a different type of nervous. Like, you kind of want to puke, yes but also you feel waves of excitement as well. You trust Taehyung but you also don’t know what is going on in his mind.

“You guys don’t have to get out, seriously!” You tell Jimin and Jungkook as they decide to not to listen to you. They make their way towards you and Taehyung, helping you both with your luggage. “Well, fine. Hugs would be nice.” You admit, extending your arms out for the guys to accept your invitation.

Jungkook giggles with his bunny teeth on display, he quickly goes to you, wrapping his arms around you for a tight embrace. You notice Jimin and Taehyung hugging as well, sharing words with one another you can’t hear. You smile at Jungkook when he loosens his grip around you and pats your head lovingly.

“Have a good time.” He tells you, “Hmm, I think you will.” Jungkook teases before bringing his hands to himself completely.

“See you.” You shake your head with a smile.

Jungkook nods and makes his way over to Taehyung while Jimin comes to you now, he’s fast pulling you into his arms. You feel comforted immediately being hugged by Jimin, you don’t even know why you feel the need to be comforted. You laugh into his shoulder as you hug him tight.

“y/n.” Jimin says close to your ear, “Promise me something.”

Your smile drops a little when you hear how serious he sounds, his embrace only getting tighter.

“Anything.” You tell him softly.

“Always take care of my Taehyungie.”

You pull away from Jimin slightly, his smile so pretty and so sincere as he gazes at you. You nod your head slowly before smiling yourself.

“If he lets me, I will.” Is what you decide to say.

“Love you.” Jimin tells you, going in for another quick hug before letting go altogether.

Jungkook is finishing up his goodbye with Taehyung as well when he turns to Jimin and grins.

“Feels like we are sending off our kids to college.” Jungkook teases, making Jimin laugh.

“Go you two!” Jimin shouts. “Don’t party too much! Pass all your tests! Make good decisions!” He continues shouting as you and Taehyung giggle to yourselves, grabbing your luggage and making your way through the doors of the airport.

Jimin laughs, keeping his eyes on you two until you’ve completely disappeared from his sight. Jungkook glances over at Jimin and his smile falters just a bit before he’s grabbing Jimin’s shoulder.

“You okay?” He asks, a genuine concern laced in his voice. Jimin is still laughing, turning his head towards Jungkook before tilting his head in confusion.

“What do you mean?” Jimin smiles, “Of course I’m okay?”

“Oh, Jiminie. Jiminie. Jiminie.” Jungkook squeezes his shoulder a little, his eyes looking all too knowing.

“What?” Jimin asks, genuinely confused. His smile dropping by the second thanks to his puzzled state.

“You know,” Jungkook looks into Jimin’s eyes, “You’re really good at not making it obvious. Like, scary good.”

“What are you talking about, Jungkook?” Jimin’s voice has dropped lower now.

“Even if you were someone being watched with a camera, I don’t think any audience would have picked up on it.”

“What—”

“It’s okay.” Jungkook says, his voice much softer now. “I think I’m the only one who knows.”

“I—”

“You really are the most selfless person I’ve ever met.” Jungkook continues to hold on to Jimin’s shoulder and for some reason Jimin lets him. “You are the definition of putting someone else’s needs before your own.”

“Jungkook.” Jimin’s voice shakes a little with the only word he can manage at the moment.

“I know.” Jungkook nods, “No one suspects a thing, don’t worry. I just happen to know you best.” He gives him a soft smile, “So, I’ll ask again…you okay?”

Jimin is speechless. He knows his face has probably lost all color as he feels his heart going a million miles a minute in his chest. Jimin blinks at Jungkook repeatedly, his eyes traveling all across Jungkook’s face. It’s been years and no one has said anything…what gave him away now?

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” Jimin gulps, his eyes dart around now. “Let’s just go.” But before Jimin can walk towards the car, Jungkook is stopping him with the hand that’s on his shoulder.

“You love him, Jimin.” Jungkook whispers but Jimin hears it loud and clear. “It’s okay…”

Jimin’s eyes immediately fall to the ground, he blinks rapidly now and shakes his head. He hates how it feels like his chest is closing in on him, his breaths shallow now. He stays with his head down for a few minutes, his sharp breaths making his chest heave.

“You always have.”

“I…” Jimin finally looks up to look up at Jungkook and Jungkook feels his stomach drop at the sight. Jimin’s cheeks are tear streaked, and his bottom lip quivers. “I do, don’t I?” He questions softly, his lips forming into a devastating smile as more tears fall. “I really do, don’t I?” He chokes on his words now, his smile still on his face and a quiet laughter shaking his body.

Jungkook stares down at Jimin and feels his heart ache, did…did Jimin not know? When Taehyung first disappeared Jimin took it the hardest, sure, all the guys were pretty messed up about it. But Jimin…was a little more concerning. He realized his feelings for Taehyung were a little passed something platonic but Jimin never actually made it obvious. Jungkook is just super fucking observant and happens to know Jimin really well.

“You okay?” Jungkook asks again, this time knowing he may actually get an answer.

“I don’t know.” Jimin admits truthfully, he wipes at his face, trying to rid himself of his tears. “Actually…I do know.” Jimin stares at the ground now, a small smile spreading on his lips. “I am okay, really. I just want Taehyung to be happy and that’s y/n. She is his soulmate. I’m sure of it.” He nods his head. “The company was right. They are the perfect match and I want them to be together. It’s what they both want. You know?”

“Yeah…” Jungkook reaches his other hand forward and grabs Jimin’s other shoulder, “But doesn’t mean you can’t feel a little sad too.” He tells him, “You…are selfless. And I agree that Taehyung has found his person—romantically. But you’re always going to be his person too.”

“I know that, stupid.” Jimin chuckles, still looking down.

“You’re strong, Jimin.” At this, Jimin looks up and gazes into Jungkook’s eyes, a grateful smile on his face. “Were you going to go your whole life without telling literally anyone?”

“I wasn’t even going to tell myself. It was…always a thought in the back of my head but I never verbalized it. I couldn’t. There would be no use.” Jimin whispers, “Loving someone who would never love you back. Why put yourself through that?” He laughs, but his eyes betray him when more tears slip past and slide down his cheeks. “I’m okay. Because I have no other choice but to be.”

“With me…” Jungkook pulls Jimin into his chest, “You don’t have to be.”

And for the first time Jimin closes his eyes and feels everything at once. How is it possible that something that was never his is slipping between his fingers? Jimin’s slow to return Jungkook’s hug but once he’s embracing his friend he finally feels it’s okay. It’s okay to cry, it’s okay to be sad and it’s okay to move on.

“They’re lucky to have you.” Jungkook says and this only makes Jimin cry harder.

After several minutes, Jimin has calmed down enough to pull away from Jungkook and smile sincerely towards him.

“Thanks.” He says quietly before reaching his arms above him in a stretch, “Ah, let’s hope these kids have a successful trip or I’ll scold them for life.”

Jungkook grins at his friend before nodding along.

“I’ll join you in scolding them!” He yells out excitedly, he walks towards the driver’s side of the car while Jimin opens the passenger side and gets in.

“An island, huh?” Jungkook turns the car on once inside, “A nice one though.” He giggles, looking over at Jimin who looks just as happy.

“Yeah,” Jimin smiles thinking about you and Taehyung. “An island.”

~~~~~~~~

“Greece?!?!” You basically shout, Taehyung laughing at you while covering your mouth with his large hands.

“People are staring now.” Taehyung playfully pouts, his laughter still audible. “But yup, Greece. You’ve never been, right?”

“No, but I mean is it a dream vacation? Hell yeah!” You look up at the board that tells you your departure time and also you know, destination.

“We’re going to Crete, specifically. It’s an island.”

“An island?” You tilt your head, “Oh. Déjà vu.”

Crete is…breathtaking. At least it looks that way in photos…you wouldn’t actually know because it’s like 11 o’clock at night and you can’t see any beautiful scenery. You do hear the ocean though, the way the waves crash into the rocks on shore. It really triggers memories for you, just the sound of water alone. You’re taken back to your time on the island…but that island is not this island. No, this island has people, has buildings and houses and restaurants.

“We’re staying…here?” Your eyes fill with awe as you eye the place you’ll be staying in. “Like, it’s all ours? Our closest neighbors are…them?” You point at another beach house a good ways away.

“Mhm.” Taehyung nods, grabbing yours and his luggage and lugging them up the stairs on the beach houses front porch towards the door. “Do you like it?” He asks cheekily, knowing you are starstruck right now.

“Like it? Taehyung, I love it! What the hell!!!” You quickly follow him up and wait impatiently for him to unlock the front door. “Hurry I want to see inside!” You jump up and down excitedly, Taehyung purposely taking his time to reach for the keys, earning him a punch to the arm.

“Be nice.” He scolds you, his gaze looking playful.

Taehyung gets the door unlocked and you breeze past him to turn the lights on and get a look inside your little home for the next few days. Taehyung shakes his head with a chuckle as he gets your things inside and shuts the door behind him.

“It’s small but nice, right?” He sets your suit cases down beside the bed. “The view from the windows is insane! Well, you’ll get a better look when it’s daytime.”

“Taehyung…” You walk towards him after checking out the kitchen and bathroom, “How did you uh, score this place?”

“My parents helped out.” He says with an awkward grin. “I’ll repay them later but they wanted to help…even got us this place when I originally wanted something cheaper.”

“Oh wow…” You feel guilty now, “That’s really nice of them but…”

“No but’s. Just enjoy, y/n.” Taehyung comes closer to you, his hand reaching for yours. You feel yourself go crazy when his fingers caress your fingers, his warm skin touching you so softly. You want to pull him even closer to you, you want to feel his arms around you, you want to feel his breath on your skin, you want to feel his beating heart pounding against yours. But you don’t know if that’s okay.

“Taehyung.” You say a bit breathlessly.

“Hm?” He hums, his fingers traveling up your arm now. His touch is so soft, so delicate, you almost don’t feel it as it works its way up.

“Why did you bring me here?” You whisper, your eyes finding his. His gaze is one of those dangerous ones, the kind you cannot escape.

“Because I want to offer you something.” He says just as hushed, his fingers now at your shoulder, skidding across your collarbone, and delicately traveling up your throat. You feel yourself shudder underneath his touch, something that doesn’t go unnoticed by him. He swallows hard, his fingers at your cheek now.

“W-What do you want to offer me?” You breathe out, your body reacting so shamelessly to his touch.

Taehyung just gazes into your eyes, his dark and lustful gaze pierces into you and makes you feel breathless.

“Taehyung?” You manage to say his name, your quiet voice almost sounded like a whine.

“Hm?” Taehyung’s fingers go into your hair at the back of your neck, he massages your scalp while you both continue to stare at the other.

“What’s your offer?” You repeat, your chest is pushed up against his now, neither of you have realized the lack of space between you.

“A choice.” He whispers out, his fingers halt their movements before he is bringing his hand back to his side and he takes a step away from you.

“A choice?” You ask, clearly confused. You feel yourself grow cold at the little bit of distance between you both now.

“Yeah.” Taehyung smiles at you now, his lips curved into it so softly. “You’re tired, right?” He asks, nodding towards the bed. “Let’s sleep. Tomorrow is a new start for us.”

“A new?” You repeat some of his words, feeling confused still but you remember he asked you to trust him. “Okay…” you agree quietly, “Let’s sleep.”

~~~~~~~~

Your room is blinding from the soft yet striking sunrise, each beam of light swims through the blinds in piercing waves. The intense glow hits you in your sleepy state, causing you to wake from your glorious slumber. Too bright. You sit up in your bed, attempting to rub away the sleep that crusts your eyes. You begin to slowly open one lid at a time, taking in the neat appearance of your room. Wait—this isn’t your room. Your heart immediately relaxes when you remember where you are.

Across from the bed is a giant flat screen TV with some pretty paintings on either side on the wall. To the right are some huge windows that only have sheer curtains covering them, so the sun is quite bright in this room. To the left is a door to the bathroom and up ahead to the left as well is a small kitchenette. But the most important thing in this room is what’s right next to you. His dark, ruffled hair sticking out between the sheets and pillow below his head. And his quiet little snores muffled by the blanket.

This is all too familiar, you think. But you can’t help but smile. You slide back down into the sheets and gaze at Taehyung who sleeps peacefully next to you. Watching him look so at ease, makes you feel even more relaxed. You could spend your life just gazing at him, nothing competes with this moment.

You aren’t sure how much time has passed but Taehyung seems to finally be waking up. His sleepy eyes opening and they immediately catch your gaze. He rubs at his face until he can finally open his eyes all the way, making you giggle.

“Good morning.” He breathes out, his voice so deep and husky.

“Hi.” You respond, “Sleep good?”

“Mm.” He closes his eyes again, “I think maybe 5 more minutes.” He jokes before cracking open an eye to look at you. “How long have you been staring at me?”

“I…I wasn’t.” You grumble, your cheeks showing an obvious blush.

“It’s okay. It’s only fair. I did it to you before too.” He chuckles and you pinch your brows together.

“Huh?”

“Nothing.” He smiles, “So.”

“So.”

“We are here. Waking up together. On an island.” He points out the obvious, “How does it feel?”

“How does it…?” You grow a little confused, giggling a bit before answering. “Good?”

“Different than the first time?” He asks, his question genuine.

“Well, yeah.” You snort, “The first time I was terrified.” You tell him honestly, but it’s not like he didn’t know. “The first time I was sure I was kidnapped…well, I guess I kind of was.” You trail off, your smile fading.

“The first time…” Taehyung’s eyes slide to the side, “There’s something we didn’t have. There’s something we weren’t…given.”

“What’s that?” You ask in a whisper. His eyes finding yours again.

“A choice.” He tells you, “You weren’t given a choice. Neither was I. We didn’t have any options…we couldn’t leave if we wanted to, we couldn’t choose our own path…just whatever the company gave to us.”

“Oh.” You nod your head in understanding, the atmosphere gone cold and serious. Your body feeling rigid. “That’s true. We didn’t have a way out.”

“Yeah.” Taehyung agrees. You feel startled when his hand goes to your cheek, his warmth instantly relaxing you some when he gazes into your eyes as intensely as he ever has. “y/n…” He whispers your name, his thumb rubbing your skin so smoothly. “I am giving you a choice.”

“Huh?” You blink at him, “What do you mean?”

“You can leave if you want to. You can go home. You can go back to your life. Or…” Taehyung clears his throat, his eyes continue to bore into yours as he pushes the next words out. “You can stay. With me.” His voice is almost inaudible by the time he says ‘with me’. “You can choose to start this new life…with me. No one is forcing you…or me.” He continues to caress your cheek. His voice cracking when he feels himself grow emotional.

“Taehyung…” You say his name so softly that he fears to hear it any other way now.

“The company brought us together but it’s up to us if we want to actually make this work.” He swallows, “So, like that day we met…we can get up and start this new journey that is me and you. Or—”

“Taehyung.” You say a little louder now, your voice shaking but you don’t care. You feel like your world is shining in a million different bright colors. Your eyes are already filling with tears but you pay no mind when you stare at the man next to you.

“This island…can be ours too.” He gulps, “If you w—”

“I love you.” You blurt out, “You know this already why are you even asking me?” You smile as tears slowly fall down your cheeks.

“Because I want you to be sure. And I wanted to do this properly.” He smiles, his own eyes wetting.

“You’re dramatic.” You laugh, sniffling to yourself. “Taehyung. You know…I would do the island all over again.”

“We are. But this time it’s on our terms. It’s the right way.” He inches closer and nudges his nose with yours. “Only a weekend though, not 8 months.” He chuckles, his warm breath hitting your lips.

“Taehyung…” You say his name, the word escaping you and dancing across his skin. “Is this what you want? Me? Even though I…and we…” Your words grow quieter and quieter, losing confidence in yourself.

“Baby,” Taehyung rasps out, your eyes shooting open and staring into his at the pet name. “I’m okay.” He reassures you. “We’re okay.” He nudges his nose with yours again, “I want nothing more than for us to move past everything we’ve been through, moving forward and have a good relationship.”

“You…” Your voice cracks with just the one word. “Shit, sorry.” You laugh pathetically, trying to calm yourself as you cry harder now. “I’m just…”

“I love you y/n.” Taehyung’s lips ghost over yours as he says these words, you feel your heart hammering in your chest when his hands travel to your waist and pull you into him.

“I love you so much. Holy fuck.” Taehyung breathes out, his own heart pounding when he feels you return his embrace. “Be mine…” he commands you softly and you melt for him all over again like it’s the first time.

“I am yours.”

Taehyung finally connects his lips with yours. He presses against you with the kind of passion you only read about in books, he holds you like it’s the last time and you can sigh in relief because it’s not. His hands grip at your waist, while your hands snake up into his hair while you pull him down so he can kiss you harder.

His lips move against yours now, there’s nothing slow and sensual about this kiss. Everything is rushed and sloppy, and you both cry out in satisfaction. Hands move all across your bodies, tongues dancing and slipping into the other’s mouth with desperate moans for more. More, more, more. You need to feel his love through every kiss, every touch, every moan. You are desperate for his love. You are just desperate for anything Kim Taehyung.

Taehyung is worse than you though. His needy hands find every inch of your body like he’s never touched you before. His fingers leaving a hot, burning trail of fire on your skin and god, you are soaking up the fire like it’s lava melting into you. Your chest is heaving, your erratic breaths making you light headed. Or is it Taehyung making you lightheaded?

You break from his kiss, your lips attaching themselves to his neck and he moans out for you, saying your name and making you even more lightheaded than before. Your hands go to his chest, your fingers dragging down the material of his shirt before you feel what you are looking for.

“God…” You breathe out against his skin, “I’ve been dying to touch you like this.” Your hand wraps around his clothed length, gripping on to it making him groan.

“Yeah, baby?” Taehyung sighs out when he feels you dip your hand into his sweatpants and feel his hard cock, skin to skin. “Fuck, y/n.” He slams his eyes shut, bucking into your palm. You go back to kissing his neck, sucking bruises into his soft skin and he releases a long breath in approval.

“Baby…” he grunts when you tug on his head, feeling his precum dribble out. “I will seriously come in less than a minute if you—”

“You want to save your cum?” Your tongue licks at his throat, “Save it for my pussy?”

Taehyung’s eyes roll around his head at your words, his cock throbbing and aching for release already and you’re barely even getting him off.

Taehyung is losing his control…he’s never been so willing to let you have your way with him. He’s literally so desperate because he’s so, so in love with you. But he needs to have some control or else he really will fucking come in your hand.

“No more, my love.” Taehyung tears your hand away from him, his cock on the verge of spilling his seed. “Can’t come yet, we aren’t even naked yet.” His dark chuckle makes you feel an intense shiver run all the way down your spine.

“Then we better take off our clothes.” You smirk and Taehyung leans in to kiss you again, his lips crashing into yours and moving against them so sloppily. His hands get busy, your shirt is off and thrown across the room and now he’s trying to slide your shorts down your legs.

“Fuck, please hurry.” You whine, the ache between your legs making you feel so pathetic. You’re so weak and useless, the ache so powerful that you think you might die if you aren’t touched soon.

“I’m working on it, baby.” Taehyung tells you, struggling to get your shorts off fast enough, he’s praying to every god that’s ever existed that your panties went down with them.

“Need you, Taehyung. Fuck, I need you so fucking badly.” Your hips grind into nothing, looking for any type of friction at this point. Your hands scramble at the waistband of Taehyung’s sweats and you’re rushing to drag them off him while he works on getting his shirt off. Finally, fucking finally you two lay naked in the bed. Heavy breaths and dark gazes on the other.

“You’re so fucking beautiful.” Taehyung tells you, his voice low and deep and raspy and holy fuck you could come to listening to him. “I love your face…I love your body…I love you.” He says, leaning down to kiss you. He kisses you slower this time, his hand making its way between your legs and you almost cry out in pleasure when his long fingers slip between your folds.

“You’re so wet baby.” Taehyung tells you between kisses, “You’ve been waiting to get touched, haven’t you?”

He swallows your answer, his fingers continue to slide around your wetness and you whimper when his fingers find your clit and he puts pressure on it before rubbing it nice and slow. Your body reacts exactly the way he wants it to…feeling satisfied with how quickly you succumb to his every movement.

“My baby…” He says against your lips, his tongue sliding into your mouth and you suck on it making him groan. His fingers slide lower and he’s finally got one finger circling your hole and then another…sinking both fingers into you at once. He feels the way you tense at the sudden intrusion, his lips staying on yours as you moan for him.

“Three?” He asks, you’re already nodding your head, your eyes staying closed as he enters a third finger. “So fucking tight. Gonna fit my whole cock in this pussy, right? You’re gonna swallow it whole? Gonna squeeze my cock with your tight pussy? Huh baby?” Taehyung asks, thrusting his fingers in and out of you as he ruts against your thigh. He’s getting lost in his own words, imagining your pussy wrapped around him before you’re reaching down and grabbing his rock hard cock.

“Taehyung.” You gasp out, his fingers never slowing down. “Fuck me baby. Fuck me, please fuck me.” You pant, guiding his body over yours. He pulls his fingers out of you and hovers above your body now.

“You need to get fucked?” He asks, breathless now. “Need my cock?”

“I need—” You’re interrupted when Taehyung’s fingers push past your lips and he has you sucking off your own arousal off his fingers.

“It’s a shame you got to taste yourself before I got to.” Taehyung pouts, “But I promise after I fuck you, I will eat your pussy until you’re shaking. Gonna lick your pussy until you are dripping, fuck, until all your cum is leaking out of you and you’re creating a wet spot on these sheets.”

“Taehyung.” You whimper, your pussy aching all over again and making you feel like if you aren’t getting filled with his cock then you might die.

“I know baby.” Taehyung places himself between your legs and comes closer to you, his face falling into the crook of your neck. “I need you just as badly…if not more.” He admits before taking his cock into his hand and lining himself up with your entrance.

You’ve never felt anticipation like this before…you’ve never felt so needy, so desperate. You have never experienced the feeling of needing a man’s cock to survive. But here you are, on the verge of tears because you need Taehyung to fill you to the brim.

Taehyung shutters above you as he starts to push his tip inside you…you immediately react, throwing your legs around his waist, your heels digging into his back, forcing him to push into you further.

“Fuck, hold on…shit…I’m so…” Taehyung breathes out roughly.

He pauses, lifts his head up just so his face is hovering right above yours and he locks his gaze with you. He sees the lust filling your eyes and he sees how your face contorts into a look of pure love and pure desperation. He finally moves his hips forward, pushing into you deeper now. The tip is fully inside you, engulfed and embraced by your warm walls. He bites down on to his bottom lip the further he goes, the further his cock disappears into you.

You are seeing every individual star in the entire solar system the more you feel his hard length brush against your insides. You can’t even begin to describe the feeling of having his dick buried inside you…his hips stuttering as he finally bottoms out.

“Oh my god.” He gasps, “You’re so tight baby.”

“Your cock is so big.” You tell him, your sultry voice making his cock twitch inside you. “You make me feel so full.” Your eyes start closing in pleasure, just his cock inside you is almost enough to make you see your end.

“You’re hugging me so tightly.” Taehyung grits out, “I need you to relax a little for me baby.”

“I’m trying. You’re just so…ah….” You try your hardest to relax your body, your muscles and Taehyung leans down to kiss your lips before locking eyes with you again.

“I’m going to move now…” He warns, his voice strained.

Taehyung slowly moves his hips back, his cock sliding out of you, brushing sensitive spots along the way making you moan out. He keeps his eyes on you before he’s pushing back in again, his body trembling in pleasure.

“That’s good babe.” You moan, “You can really start fucking me now…” You tell him, letting him know you’ve adjusted.

“Thank fuck.” Taehyung growls before pulling out faster now and snapping his hips into yours. Your moans are constant, the sound filling the room, your only competition is the sound of his skin slapping your skin. He’s really fucking you now. He grabs your legs and throws them over his shoulders and you cry out when he’s able to fuck you deeper, his cock sliding in and out of you with no remorse.

“Want you closer to me when we come.” You manage to moan out, your fingers playing at your clit. Taehyung grunts in approval before lowering your legs and laying on top of you without putting all his weight. He fucks you with so much purpose, so much feeling and so much desperation that you begin to crumble beneath him.

“Tae…” You cry out, “I’m so close.”

“Close for me, my love?” Taehyung doesn’t stop his thrusts, his hand going down to play with your clit himself. “You ready to come? You ready to clench around my cock and have it soaked in your cum?” Taehyung’s forehead is shiny with a layer of sweat, his body beginning to grow tired and his thrusts sloppy as he gets close himself.

“Want you to come too. Come inside me. Fuck I…” Your tits bounce with every hard thrust Taehyung gives you, his cock pounding inside you without rest. “Fuck…please come in me. I want your cum so badly…” You squeeze your eyes shut and moan his name.

“Yeah?” Taehyung’s face stays concentrated as he reaches his climax, “You gonna let me fuck my cum so deep inside you? Hm?”

“Yes,” You moan. His fingers rub your good spot over and over making you feel the most intense buildup of your life. Your whole body is going tense, your back arches and your toes curl. And finally, every ounce of pleasure you have ever felt in your life washes over you all at once. The feeling is so euphoric as Taehyung continues to hit you so deep with his cock, his length hitting a certain spot over and over that you can’t control the amount of pleasure you are feeling.

“Holy fuck,” You chant, your walls clenching around him so tightly that he gets so overwhelmed and feels his own orgasm hit him as well. He stills his hips and moans out your name as he release every last drop of cum inside you. You’re both left completely breathless at the feeling of coming for the other, you’ve soaked his cock and he’s filled you to the brim with his cum.

“Oh my god.” Taehyung’s erratic breaths are hard to calm after coming that hard, “You feel so incredible.” He says, kissing all of your face. “I have never felt this fucking good.”

“Me either.” You tell him honestly, your own breaths are quick and heavy. “That was amazing.”

Taehyung hates it but he knows he needs to slide out of you now, his cock is beginning to soften and he knows there’s a huge mess to clean.

“I love you.” He whispers, rolling to your side, “In case it wasn’t clear. I’ve been in love with you since the island and I’m still in love with you. I never stopped loving you either.”

You turn to face him and smile so genuinely that you are sure no other smile in your life has ever been real until this one.

“I love you too.” You lean forward and peck his lips, “Always have and always will.”

“I think a shower and some clean sheets are in order.” Taehyung laughs and you join him, nothing has ever felt more perfect.

After showering and changing your bed sheets, you and Taehyung sit on the edge of the bed and share sweet kiss after sweet kiss. He holds you close, whispering every little thing he loves about you. You giggle and return his kind words with your own. Your hands explore his body as he sucks pretty bruises into your neck. You feel yourself grow warmer and warmer, your head thrown back as he leaves bruise after bruise. It feels good, it all feels so good.

You’re on the brink of closing your eyes at the growing pleasure when the TV catches your attention. Your body goes absolutely rigid. Taehyung notices the change in atmosphere and looks at you, confused until he whips his head in the direction you are staring at. You’re sure all of the blood in your body has run cold. The only thing you can hear in the room is your loud racing heart, along with Taehyung’s. What…what the fuck? Your eyes bore into the TV screen and you gulp. White screen with black letters.

“PASS”
