Big Guy Big Belly

König is a big man, and with a big man comes a big appetite. We’re talking about a 6’10 man constantly maintaining his peak physique. He needs to be consuming as many calories and as much protein, carbs, fats, fiber and more to keep himself in fit and fighting shape.

At the canteen, he’s a nightmare. I bet that people rush to the cafeteria just to make sure they get something to eat before the big man on base rolls up. He’ll clear out the bins if he gets a chance. There’s a rumour on base that the reason König fought so hard to climb the ranks so quickly was just to be able to eat more and get away with it. Little do they know that they’re absolutely right, but König will never say that out loud. Ever. There’s some secrets you take to your grave. 

Either way, König is a menace in the canteen. He’ll pile his plate as high as he can when he gets a chance. He’s packing away all he can get in the shortest amount of time he can, and everyone has to suffer for it. The worst part is that everyone has to rush to get to the caf before König, and König knows exactly what others are doing, so he’s in a daily race against the entire base to eat his fill. It’s always a photo-finish to see who gets to the cafeteria first.  König currently has been slacking, so he’s not been eating like he normally has. Is he mad? Not really. He’ll clean out the snack cart later. 

He’s a monster late at night. Everyone knows that you need to leave the big man to his snacks, lest you face the wrath of the colossus on base. Well, wrath in a peculiar way. He just gets quiet and angry, but it’s still not a fun experience to try and fight him for a sandwich. If you take the last egg salad sandwich you’ll be at the top of his shit list for the next week. Don’t even think he won’t track you down. He’ll throw around his rank just to get his hands on the poor bastard. Nobody is safe, either.

Stiletto only once took the last pudding cup. Once. She never made that mistake again. For a week he was giving her dirty looks over a cold shoulder as he bumbled down the hall. She eventually had to give in and sacrifice a desert to be able to get back in his good graces. She still thinks he’s a massive bitch because of it. And you know what? She’s right. Everybody knows she’s right, König included, but he’ll keep going after whoever ‘steals’ ‘his’ snacks. They get along a bit better now that they’ve both advanced in rank and worked together, but there was a good period of time where Stiletto had to sleep with one eye open.

It gets a bit better for everyone when König finally finds a partner and doesn’t stay on base so often. Everyone takes a moment to pray for the poor soul who has to cook for König whenever he gets home from deployment.

See, during deployment, König can’t be such a massive bitch about food. He gets his rations, and that’s that. He can’t steal from anybody else, so he gets stuck with these pitiful MREs that barely fill him up. It’s miserable, and he’s losing weight like crazy when on the field. He’s running on fumes and burning calories like crazy as he’s risking his life out there. It’s gotten to a point where König has taken to eating with hostages post-rescue to ‘help them feel safer’ (read: get more food into his gullet). Thankfully, he puts his best foot forward when dealing with victims of trauma and ensures that he has somebody else do all the socializing while he plays with the kids after dinner. Apparently, after the inevitable shower of tears whenever kids have to face König, he becomes pretty popular. They love to use him as a jungle gym (and make fun of him) and he’s just happy to get more to eat. He’ll take being called ‘bigger than even my dad!’, being told ‘you’re weird’ or being asked ‘why are you so big and scary all the time?’ any day for a little extra to eat. He can tolerate a few kids. He won’t ever admit that hanging around them makes him want some kids of his own, or at least not to Horangi, who’s already teasing König about being a surrogate father to the kids. König tells him to keep it to himself, but Horangi is already buying things for the baby shower.

Once König finally comes home, that’s when all Hell breaks loose. This man has been starving and he needs food NOW. He won’t take no for an answer. If you don’t have something prepared, he’ll be ordering a massive order of takeout the likes of which you’ve never seen before in your life. He’ll hit multiple places on his way back to your place if he doesn’t think you’ve been able to get something together for him. If you can’t cook, he won’t even bother telling you to cook for him and just focus on getting a whole banquet of junk food ready for when he arrives home. He brings the pizzas in the door before he even brings in his own bags. You’ll have to go out and grab his bag as he sets up his personal buffet table. The worst part is despite how much he can shove down, he always buys more than he can eat, so you’ve got a couple of days worth of food to shove in the fridge at the end of the night.

If you can cook, this is a multi-day experience. Is it rewarding? Absolutely. Is it painful? Abso-fucking-lutely. He’s got you slaving for hours a day just to get him a nice home cooked meal. You’ll be going all out to get him a big enough meal. We’re thinking a tray of mac and cheese, a whole roast chicken, easily a handful of loaded baked potatoes. If you have something from your traditional cuisine, he’s not picky, he’ll gobble it up in a heartbeat. Knowing you made it for him is more than enough for him. Food is the way to a man’s heart, some say, and König will never let you go if you treat him like the king he is.

The good thing about cooking König such a big meal is that he gives back. He’s not a fan of cooking, but for the next few days he’ll take over cooking and cleaning in the kitchen. It’s just an easy way for him to give back, you know? He can’t thank you enough with words, so why not with actions?

But the best part of König giving back is that he’s an excellent cook. He cooks mostly traditional food from his culture, but he’s down for some french or italian cooking if you’re into it. He can make a mean lasagne. He does not skimp on the cheese, this man. No he’s a cheese fiend. If you’re lactose intolerant, you’ve got another thing coming for you. He will hand feed you lactaid just for the meal. If you have a dietary restriction, he’ll learn how to cook your types of meals in abundance. He’s perfect that way. Vegetarian, vegan, keto, no matter what, he’s got your back. He’s learned how to make an excellent spread for a dinner party, and part of learning to cater to others is to work around other people’s diets; his mother drilled that rule into his little head as a kid. He does it without complaint, too. For at least a week after coming home, he’s just so happy to be around food in abundance again. He’s absolutely thriving in the kitchen before the thrill wears off and he’s back to avoiding cooking like the plague again.

He loves to eat, but usually hates to cook. He’ll mostly eat takeout until he actually has to eat a nutritious meal again for a change. It’s not that cooking is awful, it’s just that he hates doing the dishes. He’d be far more inclined if he didn’t have to do the dishes afterwards. If you take over dishes, he’ll definitely step up his game for the both of you.

All in all, König loves to eat. He’s a big man with a bigger appetite, as hard as that is to believe. Once he retires he has to learn to cut back a fair bit, but he never loses his taste for sweets and snacks. It’s just something you’ll have to learn to live with.

Sterek Fic Rec - 2024

Guess who's backkkkk??? Ok so I know that I am late but only by like 4 days? So not too bad. Anyway! Welcome to Prince's 2024 Fic Rec List! I am now aiming to do a list every year (and more if we are lucky but let's not promise that hehe). As always here are my top 10 fics I read and a special bonus mention !

Perfect Star That Hid by thebigoblin (1/1 | 1K | Teen)

He turns his hand— It’s not bare, anymore. His wrist — it has a name. His soulmate’s name. He stares. And stares and stares because what the hell. This has to be a joke, right?

Last Christmas (I gave you my heart) by jadore_hale (1/1 | 4K | Teen)

“W-what is this?” Derek couldn’t even begin to get his mind around this current situation. “My Christmas gift to you, nephew.” Peter pushed the guy towards him, and Derek hastened to catch him before he fell face first on the floor. “I’d like you to meet your soul mate.” *** Derek's uncle Peter decides to get a little more creative this Christmas by finding Derek's soulmate and stuffing him in a box with a pretty bow on top.

Stiles Stilinski, Magical PI by suzvoy (1/1 | 21K | Mature)

Stiles is a Private Investigator, only not really. He's also magical, but only close up. One thing he's really good at is lusting over people from afar, which is why it's a problem when Laura Hale hires him to help her brother.

Wanted and Wounded by RoxyRosee (3/3 | 12K | Explicit)

Derek can't seem to get off. It's been days with no luck, and he's constantly on edge. But then pack night rolls around, and when Stiles falls into him as he goes to sit down on the couch, Derek is suddenly coming, right where he sits. Turns out, Stiles is his mate. And among a whole slew of embarrassing side effects to this whole "mate" thing is the fact that Derek will never again be able to have an orgasm without Stiles by his side. So yeah, Derek's life kind of sucks right now.

Welcome to the Jingle by Jmeelee (1/1 | 1K | Mature)

Derek could admit—only to himself, of course, never out loud—that he was a little desperate to make new holiday traditions with his (officially all adults now thank god) pack. But his ideas had run more along the lines of a cozy take-out dinner at his new apartment, an ugly sweater or white elephant party, or maybe volunteering at the local soup kitchen. It had not involved spending Christmas Eve at Jungle.

Hey Dad, Derek Hale Is In My Room. Bring Your Gun. by fairytalesandfolklore (1/1 | 767 | Teen)

Being the Sheriff's kid is hard enough. Having a seemingly over-protective father who's more concerned about your bad influence than your ex-murder-suspect werewolf boyfriend is so much worse.

"The point is, I'm an adult," he amends, heaving a weary sigh as he attempts to salvage whatever is left of his dignity. "I can make my own decisions, and I choose Derek. He makes me happy. He's a good guy. He treats me well. He looks out for me, keeps me safe. He's responsible and respectful and a complete gentleman, and I really think that if you just got to know him a little better, you'd really—" The Sheriff holds up a hand, effectively cutting Stiles off mid-ramble. "I like Derek just fine," he says, and the smile that spreads across his face is warm and genuine. "You do?" Stiles falters, completely thrown. "Wait, so then why—" The Sheriff's fond smile turns to one of wry amusement. "It's you I don't trust, Stiles," he says around a hearty chuckle. "I've raised you for 18 years, I know exactly what kind of mischief you're capable of. Wouldn't want you dragging that nice, respectable boy into any trouble."

The Hoodie by PersePhonesDreams (1/1 | 1K | General)

Stiles didn’t mean to keep Derek’s hoodie—really, he didn’t. But the oversized, ridiculously soft thing quickly became his favorite comfort item, a piece of Derek he couldn’t quite let go of. It’s not like Derek would notice anyway... right? When Derek unexpectedly shows up at Stiles’ window one quiet night, Stiles’ not-so-secret attachment to the hoodie is exposed, leading to a conversation that changes everything. Cue awkward confessions, teasing smiles, and the realization that maybe Derek doesn’t mind Stiles keeping more than just his hoodie.

Over the Hedge(witch) by rororowyourboat (1/1 | 7K | Teen)

Derek moves into a new house with Laura and he is flustered by the hot gardener next door who is always just slightly dirty.

And When I Wake You're There I'm Saved by suchfun (1/1 | 14K | Teen)

"Derek," Stiles says, firm. His hand is warm on Derek's shoulder. "I'll be okay." "You didn't leave me," Derek argues. "How can you expect me to leave you?" Stiles rolls his eyes. "Oh my god, it'll be fine. Even if I am captured, I'm just a boring human. They wanted you for your Lycan blood." Derek crosses his arms. Mainly so he doesn't wrap his hands around Stiles' throat in an attempt to throttle some sense into him. "That's fine. But this isn't a time when being a boring human is an asset. This is a time when being a boring human results in a shot to the head." "Derek," Stiles says again. He steps closer, so Derek is surrounded in his scent, his chemosignals—namely unwavering, resolute determination, distinctively sharp and entirely unbreakable—clouding Derek's mind. "You'll come back for me." He sounds so sure, and he can tell the exact moment Derek gives in. Because Derek somehow always gives in to Stiles. "I'll come back for you," he confirms. "And you better not be dead." Stiles grins, eyes sparkling with far too much humour for someone who potentially just sacrificed himself for a surly Lycan and bunch of strangers. "You do say the sweetest things."

Remember What's Lost by AMatchInWater (1/1 | 7K | Explicit)

Wild Hunt AU, Stiles gets taken and Derek instantly knows something is wrong with his memory, but just doesn't know what until Lydia calls him, begging for his help to get Stiles back because she thinks they have the strongest connection. When Derek saves Stiles he stops at nothing to finally get what's his.

princecharmingwinks special mention (this fic has a heck of a lot of emotions and when Derek fell to his knees, my heart broke. you gotta read it to find out why! don't worry I will never read or rec unhappy endings)

Horizons into Battlegrounds by AClosedFicIsNeverRead (1/1 | 15K | Explicit)

Derek has always kept his distance from Stiles, refusing to act on his instinctive desire for the pale, doe-eyed human. But at what cost? When circumstances reveal the horrors that Stiles has suffered due to Derek's self-imposed distance, will the Alpha be able to make it right before it's too late? ______________________________________________________ “Who are you to the pack?” the hunter asked. “I’m nobody.” Stiles answered plainly. And a harsh chill ran through Derek’s body. His breath caught in his throat because… because Stiles’ heart… it had remained steady. Stiles… actually believed that. Believed that he was ‘nobody.’ How could Stiles believe that?

That is all for 2024 my friends! Please remember to give kudos and leave comments for all our amazing Sterek writers. I know I'd be lost without you all. Thank you!

New Mods For Seasons

🎀 Two early accesses and one free mod to celebrate this seasonal time in your Sims game!  I'm grateful to share my happy moments with you guys this year.

~

⭐NEW: Weather Lot Challenges

⏩ A bundle of 42 Lot Challenges to cheat the weather of the current Lot, regardless of the natural weather forecast, worlds, or seasons.

This mod does not override any game tunings, and it works with my other weather mods!

🆗 Compatible with all my other mods and traits.

🧩 Requires EP05 Seasons Expansion Pack

👉 Gameplay Effects of Weather Lot Challenges

These Lot Challenges affect the weather immediately as soon as the Lot is loaded with your Sim on it, and the effects will stay even when the Sim is off the lot until you remove the Lot Challenges. 

They are supposed to be used as cheats for storytelling, easier gameplay, taking screenshots, etc. You are recommended to remove the Lot Challenges from the Lot when you no longer need them so that it won't interfere with your normal gameplay.

Since a Sims world shares the same climate, giving multiple Weather Lot Challenges to different Lots of the same worlds and loading those Lots will cause the weather to switch rapidly.

[bad-traffic-smp-ideas]

Stick with me here, my literature class just covered the short story "The Most Dangerous Game" which is about some insane dude that kidnaps sailors and releases them into the jungle of his little island so he can hunt them for sport. If the sailors survive for 3 days, then they win and get to leave. But this Hunter has never lost this game before so it's almost guaranteed death. Also he has a massive pack of dogs to help his hunt.

Anyway

So what if we threw all the Lifers on an island and have someone like, let's say, Geminitay hunt them all to extinction. Last person to survive wins! <3

There would be no fighting on Red Life, just Gem slowly picking off players. The terror as the tab list dwindles down and you know all you can do is run and hide.

I imagine this would lead to something like the last three or so players hiding somewhere while Gem wanders the map alone. Or maybe bring back the dead players to represent the dog pack from the story? Idk.

Actually, scrap this, let's just have Life Series but it's a Zombie Apocalypse, that sounds entertaining too

This is enrichment for Gem. Trust me.

[roydick]

It's a rare day off for the Titans, most of them have taken advantage of the nice weather and are nowhere to be seen. Roy has finally wrangled Lian into her outfit for the day, and the two make one last sweep of the Tower to check for stragglers. The last room they check is the gym. Roy's not expecting to find anyone, so he's surprised to find the door cracked and the sound of quiet music drifting into the hallway.

Pushing the door open wider, at first he sees no one. It's Lian's cry of, "Uncle Nightwing!" as she rushes past his legs that makes him look up.

(Cont. under the cut)

Perched high on the trapeze is Dick, he's sitting on the edge of the platform, one leg pulled up to his chest. He waves down at Lian and she seems to take that as an invitation, scrambling up the bottom few rungs of the ladder. Roy panics and starts forward to grab her, but before he clears half the room Dick is vaulting down to the floor and scooping her up into his arms.

Roy can't hear what Dick says, but he watches him flip her around in his arms to hang upside down before he starts tickling her. Her giggles are loud, bouncing off the metal walls of the gym. She's squirming in Dick's hold, feet kicking out uselessly against his onslaught.

"No! No! Uncle Nightwing!" She gasps for breath between her laughter. Dick finally takes mercy on her, turning her right side up and planting his feet as she scales him like he's a jungle gym. Roy winces in sympathy as she plants a foot right in Dick's kidney in her excitement, but Dick shows no signs of discomfort.

Dick waits until she's comfortable, and lightly grips her ankles when she finally settles atop his shoulders. Roy watches them both as they walk towards him, Lian leaning down to whisper in Dick's ear, a wide grin on Dick's face.

A quiet "You think so?" from Dick is all the warning Roy has before suddenly Dick's digging his fingers into Roy's ribs. Jumping away, Roy curls in on himself to protect himself from Dick. Unknowingly leaving himself open to attack from his daughter.

"Get daddy!" Roy hears as thirty plus pounds of little girl lands on his back. Groaning dramatically, Roy drops to the floor, rolling to catch Lian against his chest. Holding her tight to protect himself from her bony elbows as she calms down, a sudden shadow covers the two of them. Looking up, he sees Dick standing right above his head, a huge smirk on his face.

"Good to know you're still ticklish there, Speedy," Dick says. "I wasn't sure it would work, but my lovely accomplice here assured me it would. She's a smart little cookie."

"You tell anyone and I will make you regret it. I know thi— oof." Lian cuts Roy's threats off with an accidental knee to his pancreas as she works herself loose from Roy's hold.

Finally free, Lian stands in front of Dick, hands on her hips, her power pose is dulled slightly by the way she's bouncing on the balls of her feet.

"Uncle Nightwing," she says, voice as sweet as she can make it, "do you think you could teach me how to flip like you do?" Roy can only see the back of her head, but he can picture her little pleading face, and mentally he wishes Dick luck.

"Uh, I mean, it's up to your dad, but I might be able to start teaching you some simple somersaults."

Lian takes a deep breath and Roy jumps up quickly to cut her off before she can start in on what he's sure is a very passionate monologue.

"How about we see if Uncle Nightwing wants to join us at the park today first, then maybe we can talk about gymnastics lessons."

"Yes! You have to come with us! Daddy packed a picnic and we can play on the swings." Listing off the many activities they can do, Lian gives Dick no time to come up with an excuse.

Dick laughs. "I think I can spare some time to join you." Lian lets out a small cheer, and Roy's stomach swoops at the small smile Dick gives in return. "Let me go change first, and I'll meet you at the door?"

“How about you go get your shoes on sweetheart.” Roy cuts in before Lian can start cheering.

Lian nods sharply and skips out of the gym, Roy watches Dick's face as he follows her progress out the door, a wistful smile and an unreadable look in his eyes, until the door slams shut behind her.

"Sorry about her, you know how kids are,” Roy says.

Dick just smiles and shakes his head. "She's fine. I wasn't doing anything today anyways. You better go catch her before she somehow finds her way outside. I'll be quick." Dick doesn't wait for an answer, leaving Roy behind as he jogs to the locker room.

"I think my daughter just set me up," Roy groans, as he leaves to hunt down Lian.

Jurassic Lovers Part 2

Jurassic Park Au! Natasha and Black Fem Reader (just a drabble)

note: more of my random writing. kind of backstory? kind of just mad i can't go see the movie yet

(also kind of wanted to turn this entire thing into smut)

You paused to tie your boot, well, attempted to. The laces were muddy, and your nails were not built for survival. You could barely see the cherry red polish underneath all that dirt, and you cursed the rain and whoever else you could think of. Natasha stood nearby, arms crossed, watching like she was regretting every life choice that led her to this exact moment.

"Shit," You murmured to yourself as your fingers slipped over the laces once again.

“You alright there, Dora the Explorer?” she muttered.

“Don’t worry about me. I’m adaptable.” You stood up with a proud little flourish. “I once hiked Runyon in heels.”

Natasha blinked. “Runyon... the dog park trail?”

“Very steep incline,” you nodded seriously. “It’s practically Everest for influencers.”

She stared at you for a beat too long. Then squinted. “…How old are you?”

You grinned. “Old enough to have a black card and no real job. Why, interested?”

Natasha groaned. “No. Just trying to figure out if this is a bratty phase or a permanent condition.”

You gasped, mock offended. “You think I’m bratty? That’s so mean.”

“You just told a trained paleobiologist that a designer water bottle counts as field equipment yesterday.”

"It was titanium," You shot back. This entire conversation was pointless, but you did enjoy getting under her skin.

You’d been stuck in this part of the forest for hours with her. A too-stiff scientist with a stick so far up her ass, you were half-convinced it was fossilized. Natasha Romanoff wasn’t exactly fun to be around, and she made sure to tell you as much.

“This would go faster if you didn’t stop every five minutes to look at your reflection in your canteen,” she’d muttered around hour two.

She was being dramatic. You’d smiled sweetly. “This would go faster if you stopped talking altogether.”

It hadn’t exactly been a dream partnership.

The truth was, no one had been to Isla Nublar in almost a decade. Not since the last research team packed up and left, citing unstable weather patterns, dwindling resources, and a string of suspicious disappearances. The island had been declared unsafe. Inhospitable. Off-limits.

Until you came along.

Your family, specifically your late grandfather, a mogul in shipping and minerals, had quietly bought the rights to what remained of the island’s jurisdiction. Mostly out of ego. But somewhere along the line, you’d become fascinated by the old research files. The photos. The rumors.

So you funded a revival.

Private expedition. Limited team. No press.

And naturally, Natasha Romanoff, the cold, decorated paleobiologist with no tolerance for “influencer types,” had been at the top of the list. Your advisors said she was the best. You said Sure, as long as she didn’t scowl in every photo.

They said she doesn’t do photos.

Now, two days in and way off the marked trails, you were starting to think maybe she didn’t do people either.

The underbrush rustled ahead, and she threw an arm in front of you like some grumpy jungle bouncer. “Stay back.”

You rolled your eyes but obeyed.

“You always this charming on field trips?” you asked.

She glanced at you. “Only when I’m babysitting someone whose boots cost more than our entire equipment budget.”

"You have a thing for feet?"

Natasha gave you a long look.

Then she turned and marched ahead, and you didn’t even care that your boots were covered in mud, because she didn’t get the satisfaction of seeing you flounder behind her.

A few steps later, and you were back in stride with her.

“Hey, what was the name of that species? With the spiny things?” you asked, brushing leaves out of your face.

Natasha kept walking.

“Oh, come on. You know the one I mean. Like a pinecone? With teeth.”

“Teeth?”

“Yes. Lots of them.”

“Sorry,” she said flatly. “I don’t know what you're talking about.”

“Oh my god. It was, like, a hundred million years ago. Give or take. Pinecone. Teeth.”

“That narrows it down.”

You groaned in exasperation. If she didn’t want to talk, that was fine. It wasn’t like you needed her companionship. Getting off the trail and losing the rest of the team wasn’t your fault. You just had to follow this path until you reached the shoreline and then call the ship back. Simple.

You walked in silence, grumbling under your breath about how much this was all going to cost. The equipment. The delays. The therapy. It was ridiculous how lost you were, and you couldn’t even reference the wrinkled map you’d printed from the expedition files because it had dissolved into mush hours ago.

You were about to keep trudging forward, catching Natasha’s figure in your peripheral vision as she studied a tree. You had a joke there, but were distracted by something else.

Low and steady.

Water.

Your ears perked. You froze.

“Do you hear that?” you asked.

Natasha straightened, turning slightly toward the sound. Her expression sharpened. “Yeah. Stream, maybe.”

Without another word, she headed toward it, and you followed, for once without sarcasm.

It was stronger now, the sound of a stream. Maybe even a river. You hadn’t seen one marked on the old maps, but that wasn’t saying much. Most of the island hadn’t been properly charted in years, and half the data in the files looked like it had been stored in a soup can.

You stepped over a root and caught up beside her. “What are the odds this takes us to the shore?”

“Depends,” she said. “On whether it leads to open water or a pit full of carnivores.”

“Optimism. Noted.”

As you pushed through the last of the brush, the trees opened up to reveal a wide stream shining in the fading light. And there, half-submerged at the water’s edge, was a massive, black-scaled creature, its wide shoulders rippling gently as it drank.

Natasha held up a hand sharply. “Stay quiet.”

You shook your head, eyes wide with wonder.

“It’s a—”

“Marinus Titan,” you whispered, nearly breathless with awe. “Aquatic. Docile. Fully trusting of humans. Strict herbivore.” You rattled off fact after fact, mostly for yourself, but Natasha glanced at you, brow lifted in mild surprise.

You didn’t notice. You were already stepping forward, slow, careful, respectful.

You didn’t get too close. Just knelt in the rubble of sand and fallen leaves, letting your heartbeat steady as you watched the creature’s massive jaw open and close in lazy sips.

“My grandfather talked about these all the time when I was a girl,” you said softly. “He used to call them river ghosts. Said they were shy and sweet and smarter than anyone gave them credit for.”

Natasha didn’t say anything.

You smiled to yourself. “Dyl's gonna love this.”

“Dyl?” she asked, her voice shifting. The faint smile she'd been wearing disappeared into a question.

“My nephew,” you said quietly. “He’s six. I… I take care of him now. After my brother and grandfather died on their last trip out here.”

That hung in the air for a moment, just long enough for the quiet to settle into something solemn. She'd heard the stories.

“I didn’t know,” Natasha said.

You nodded, still watching the creature. “Most people don’t. They just assume I’m here to play explorer Barbie and post selfies. But this was his dream. I’m just finishing it.”

Natasha looked at you with something softer than suspicion or sarcasm in her gaze.

“Is that what brought you here?” she asked, her voice low.

You hesitated, then nodded. “Partly.”

You kept your eyes on the Marinus Titan, its slow movements hypnotic. “After my brother died, Dylan came to live with me. And for a while… I wasn’t doing great. Trying to find my footing, being so young, and losing my family. I was with this guy, he looked good on paper, you know? Money, good looks, great job. But he was controlling. Possessive. Got handsy when I didn’t do what he wanted.”

Natasha’s body went still beside you.

You kept going, voice even. “It never turned into something worse. But it was bad enough. I caught myself one night, snapping at Dylan for knocking over a glass. And he looked at me like he didn’t recognize me.” You swallowed. “I didn’t want him growing up with that version of me. Angry. Small. Afraid.”

Natasha didn’t speak, but she didn’t look away either.

“So yeah,” you said, finally meeting her eyes. “I came out here for Dylan. But also for me. Because people think I’m stupid. That I’m spoiled, and unserious. That I’m wasting money playing explorer.”

There was no bitterness in your voice, only honesty.

“But this?” You gestured toward the water, to the dinosaur still drinking in lazy peace. “This makes it worth it. I feel more like myself out here than I have in years. Like I finally… remembered who I was before I got so damn lost.”

Natasha exhaled, the sound quiet and steady. She looked at you like she was trying to figure something out like she’d been misjudging you this whole time and didn’t quite know how to admit it.

“You’re not stupid,” she said finally. “And you sure as hell aren’t wasting anything.”

Your eyes flicked to hers, surprised by the softness in her tone.

“Thanks,” you said, voice just barely above a whisper.

She didn’t smile. But something in her posture eased. A shift. A start.

You shifted slightly, pulling your phone from your pack. The screen was cracked, smudged with mud, and barely holding a charge but you cradled it like something precious.

Natasha watched, and for the first time, she didn’t roll her eyes or sigh. She just… waited.

You pressed record and lifted the phone toward your face, the dying light catching in your hair.

“Hey, Dyl,” you said softly, a smile tugging at your lips. It was a voice Natasha wasn't used to. Much softer. “It’s Mama. I’m here with the coolest dinosaur ever. Not even joking, Marinus Titan. Just like the ones Grandpa used to talk about. Our favorite.”

You turned the camera slightly, catching a flicker of the creature slipping beneath the water again, its tail barely visible now.

“She was drinking from the stream when we found her,” you continued. “Didn’t even flinch. I think she knew we were safe.”

There was a pause. You didn’t even notice Natasha still watching you with her shoulders relaxed, face unreadable, but focused.

“I wish you were here,” you murmured. “But I’m bringing back pictures. Stories. Maybe even a rock or two if I can sneak them past customs.”

You laughed quietly to yourself, the sound a little watery.

“I love you, Dyl. So much. I’m gonna be home soon. Just a little more exploring, okay?”

You ended the recording, letting the phone fall into your lap.

Natasha was still staring.

“What?” you asked, trying to keep your voice light.

She shook her head slightly. “Nothing. Just… you call yourself Mama.”

You looked down, brushing your thumb across the cracked screen. “He started it. First it was ‘auntie mama,’ then just ‘mama.’ I didn’t correct him.”

“You didn’t have to,” Natasha said quietly.

You glanced at her, brows raised.

“He’s yours,” she said simply. “You didn’t need to give birth to earn that.”

Your throat tightened. You blinked fast, shoving the phone back into your bag before you cried over that of all things.

“I didn’t expect you to be this…” you started, then stopped.

“Sentimental?” she offered, one brow raised.

“I was gonna say human.”

Natasha let out a soft huff of laughter, shaking her head.

The forest was quiet again.

And for the first time all day, it felt like you weren’t alone in it.

____________________________________________

"I swear there's no one on the planet that makes better sandwiches than you, Harry."

Harry and y/n were enjoying a picnic in the park, complete with ham and cheese sandwiches (cut in triangles, per her request), fruit salad, and cookies they had baked together the night before. Much to both of their delight, the park was nearly empty aside from a few toddlers playing in the jungle gym with their mothers.

Or so they thought.

"What are you doing tonight?", Harry asks her, enjoying the fresh air as he leaned against the tree, with his arm around y/n. Her back was towards his chest, and she was looking up at him.

"Oh I have to talk to a client, who wants to buy one of my paintings.", she lies. She had a meeting with Romania tonight.

"After that?", Harry drawls, kissing her neck.

"I promised Uncle Luke we would play pictionary today!", she says, as his lips hum against the pulse point of her neck.

"You can't get enough of me, can you?", she teases.

"No.", he agrees, stroking her hair between his fingers. "I would spend every minute of the day with you if I could."

"I would get bored.", y/n says playfully, and Harry growls, tightening his grip around her waist making her giggle. "I'll remember that the next time we're in bed.", he whispers in her ear, making her blush.

Then she saw them. Three men surrounded different areas of the park. All three of them were looking at them. y/n suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

"Um, Harry?"

"Hm?"

"I think we should pack up and head home. I'll run late for my meeting with the client.", she says, squeezing his arm gently.

"Already?", he asks, pulling away from her neck and she nods. "I'll spend the night with you tomorrow, okay?"

His face turns into a cute pout, and she wonders how people in his past were intimidated by that face. "Okay. You'll have to make it up to me, baby."

"I will.", she promises, starting to pack everything up. They finished packing their snacks, took their picnic blanket, and y/n took Harry's hand tight in hers, keeping her eyes on the men as they walked to her car.

She drove away soon. "Why don't you drive Harry?", she asks.

"I don't like driving.", he simply says.

"Why is that? Did you have a really bad accident?", she hints.

"Uh...maybe, I don't know. I don't enjoy it. I like walking, and the hospital's close from my house.", he shrugs, looking outside the window. He looked so innocent to y/n.

She drops Harry, before leaving. She had a bad feeling, and she grabbed his hand before he could go. She had already scanned the place to see if the men had followed her, but they hadn't.

"Harry, be careful, yeah?", she says, worried.

"Yeah, why?", he strokes her cheek, noticing that something's bothering her.

"The world is not a good place.", she squeezes his hand. "Lock your doors, okay?"

"I will..are you sure you're okay?"

She smiles, bringing his hand to her lips to kiss it. "I'm okay. I'll see you tomorrow, Harry."

Harry nods, kissing her forehead. "Remember I'm here if you need to talk about something."

The guilt storm hits her hard again, and she nods. "Thank you. I gotta go now."

"Yeah. See you, sunshine."

She had to do it. She had to tell Romania that this has to stop. She got to the building, took the elevator, waited impatiently for it to open and Hans greets her at the door.

"Ah, in time today Miss y/l/n", he remarks, looking at his watch.

"I'm not always late.", y/n mumbles and he chuckles, stepping aside. "Come in."

Romania sat on the couch as usual, and y/n wonders if she gets up from there once in a while. Oliver was not standing, for a change. He was sitting on the seat next to the one that y/n usually occupies when she's here.

"Good evening, y/n.", Romania gives her a smile and Oliver ignores her, classic Oliver.

"Hi.", y/n nods, taking her seat.

"Anything stronger than water?", Hans asks her, cocking an eyebrow.

"No, just water. Thanks.", y/n says to him. She didn't want to drink with people who plot to kill other people who got into tragic accidents and lost their memory.

"So? What are your updates this week?", Romania asks her, keeping one of her lean legs over the other and looking at her with interest. Oliver turns her head to look at her, and Hans keeps her water in front of her before sitting on the table he usually leans on.

y/n got talking. She told them everything she found out and didn't. She told them about the ring as well.

"So he's still holding on to that.", Romania smiled. "That's a great break through, y/n."

"Was that Reagen's?", y/n guesses.

"Yes. She didn't know, but Harry was planning to propose to her after that night. After their last mission. Diamond ring, silver beading, wasn't it?"

y/n nods. Romania looks at Hans for confirmation who nodded. "That's the one."

"That means some part of him still isn't ready to let go of Reagen.", Romania says. "Or it was a slip of the mask. He wasn't expecting you to search his room and find the ring. He could easily lie to you, like he probably has numerous times now. Whatever is necessary to keep his identity secret."

"I really think you're wrong, Romania.", y/n says softly. "And I'm sorry that you all lost your friend, but he's no longer in there, if he ever was. The Harry I know is a kind person. He isn't capable of hurting anyone."

"You've fallen for him, haven't you?", Romania sighs. "You're in love and you've been sleeping with him."

Was it love? A fire ignited in her chest whenever she thought about him. Her whole body tingled when he touched her. She wanted to go home to him every day. Was that love? y/n didn't know. She hasn't been in love before.

"I heard he was good in bed.", Hans says, nodding. "Lot of girls wanted to get laid but he only ever had eyes for Reagen."

"He trusts you," Oliver says. "You've gained his trust, y/n. This week, you really have to destroy his walls and get him to remember everything. You don't understand. We need him. His life is in danger if keeps his act going on any longer."

"I-I'll take him somewhere safe, where no one can hurt him.", y/n whispers, then thought about how dumb that sounded.

Romania scoffed. "We have men everywhere, y/n. You have no idea how big we are. You're lucky it's just the three of us talking to you."

"I've seen guys following us, looking at us weirdly. Are they your men?"

"Maybe, maybe not.", Hans shrugs. "Can be enemies plotting his death. Too scared to come any closer to him. They were all terrified of Harry once they got to know he was our secret weapon."

"W-Why do people have to be so terrified of him?", she couldn't help but ask the same question she asked last meeting.

"He is not the man you think he is."Oliver spoke slowly, like he was warning her. "Take his fondness towards you as leverage and find out what we need. Do your job and let us worry about protecting him, okay?"

"You have time till seven days, and I have a plan.", Romania tells her. "Do it as I say, and you'll be done. You'll be free to do as you please, whether he remembers or not."

"B-But I can't just leave him-"

"That's your fault, getting romantically involved with him."

Yes. It was her fault. y/n nods, finishing the entire glass of water. "Tell me your plan."

"Road trip.", she says, clapping her hands together.

"That's your great plan?", y/n asks confused.

"Hans.", Romania said and Hans spread out a map on the table. "Reagen and Harry were smuggling gold from San Francisco to New Mexico, on road.", he says, pointing at the places on the map.

"From here.", y/n spoke softly, and they nodded. She lived outside the city, in a small town near San Francisco, but the nearest city to her is Dan Francisco. 

"It's a sixteen hour road trip. It'll take you two days if you cover 8 hours every day. Four days if you cover four hours every day. The choice is yours. But we need Harry here by the end of this week." Hans pointed to a place near the border. It wasn't Mexico yet.

"This was where the blast took place. Where Reagen died, and where Harry lost his memory. We want you to take him through the same route they took on their last journey together. We're confident Harry will remember something, if not everything."

"You want me to bring him to the same place he lost his past life..to see if the place brings back his memories?", y/n put it together.

"Precisely.", Romania nods. "Now what you want to do in those four days is not my concern. Get a room, go to a party, go to the beach, go to a movie. I don't care. But I need Harry's memories back. Traveling on this route, a route he has taken many times before, has to be the key."

It was a good plan if it works. "And if he remembers?"

"Leave the rest to us.", Oliver says, and y/n buries her head in her hands as she thinks. "Is there another option?"

"This is our best option y/n.", Hans speaks softly. "Our last hope. You can make it happen."

Just one more week and she can put all this behind her. Of course she knew that wasn't possible as she is now involved in Harry's life, but if at all he remembers, even a glimpse of who he used to be, no one can hurt him. They'll all be scared. Things might change between y/n and Harry, but at least he'd be safe, she thought. Yes, she had to make him remember.

"Road trip it is, then."

_____________________________________________________________

Harry sits on his bed, watching as y/n sorts through his wardrobe. "Do you have anything other than these formal shirts?", she asks, finding only more and more of single colored shirts.

"No. That's all I need.", Harry shrugs. "You don't like them?"

y/n turns to smile at him, and walks to him. "I love them, Harry. But for our trip, you definitely need more. I'm gonna take you shopping."

"I don't like shopping..", Harry mumbles, grabbing her hips and pulling her in between his legs. His thumbs draw circles on her skin that's exposed. y/n was wearing a crop top and shorts. "Can I not just love on you for the entire day?", he asks, kissing her neck and y/n feels his soft hair as she moves her hand to play with his hair.

"As much as I would love that..", y/n kisses his lips, making him smile. "You are in dire need of new clothes." She squeaks as Harry pulls her onto his lap. "We can have our fun later."

"The kind of fun we like?", he asks, moving her hair back to expose her neck, attaching his lips to her soft skin.

"Uh huh.", y/n sucks in a breath, twisting a curl around his finger. "Why can't your friend just drive the car back herself?", he asks.

y/n had made up a story to tell Harry about the road trip to Mexico. It had to be convincing. Romania gave her that story as well. She had to say that it was her friend's, and her cousin had driven to San Francisco last time he was here but he took the flight back, so the car was still with her. Now he needed it back, and he was too busy to come here himself.

"Cause she's busy. I owe her one.", y/n says, feeling horrible to lie to him, but she had no option. She would get him on the road, and try her best to make him recollect his memories. If he didn't remember, she would tell him the truth before the week ended. She wouldn't let him get killed. He might leave her when she tells him the truth but it's better than him dying. She could live with regret, but she couldn't, knowing that she helped someone with murder.

"And you need a trip. You've been working non stop, everyone needs a break.", y/n kisses his jaw, and Harry smiles, "I don't need breaks, I love work. The only reason I agreed is because of you."

"You can't say no to me, can you?", y/n pats his cheeks.

"You're cute.", he chuckles, before lifting her off his lap and standing on his feet. "Let's go."

y/n took Harry shopping, and he just stood there like one of the mannequins themselves, while y/n sorted through the clothes. He seemed to be enjoying looking at her, rather than the different collection of clothes.

"Here, try these on. There's the trial room.", y/n says as she places a pile of shirts onto Harry's hands.

"Um, okay." Harry walks to the trial rooms, and y/n chuckles to herself. He was so adorable and innocent. y/n even tried google searching about him, but she didn't find much. She wanted to know why people were scared of him. She wished she could talk to Reagen. She was the only person not afraid of him, and who was closest to him.

“How’s this?”

y/n gives Harry a once over, as he poses for her in a floral shirt.He hadn’t done all the buttons up, and she could see half of his butterfly tattoo.

 She bites her lip, nodding. “Get it.”

Harry looks around, before reaching a hand to tug her into the trial room. “Harry! What if people see?”

“There’s no one around, love.”, Harry pins her to the wall, trapping her with his large frame. “Are you getting worked up?”

“No..”, she lies, breathing heavily as he leans closer, his breath fanning over her face. “No?”, he smirks, pressing her lips onto her hers, and biting her bottom lip. She opens her mouth to let his tongue inside, and lets him explore her mouth. Harry’s knee comes in between her legs, separating them. One hand holds her hip while the other slips up her thigh, to her core. 

She clenches her thighs immediately, and he pinches her thigh. “Keep them open. Let me see for myself if you’re wet.”

She plays with the curls on the back of his head, and grips his shoulder as he parts her panties and runs a finger through her sleek wet folds. 

“Ah hah, looks like someone was lying.”

“Harry stop..t-they’ll hear us..”, she whispers, fighting back a moan as he slips one finger inside her. She was wearing a skirt, so he had easy access. 

“You’ll just have to be quiet then, baby.”, he hums, adding another finger and pumping them in and out of her slowly, in a dangerously slow pace. “Should I let you cum? You lied to me.”

“Y-Yes, please..”, she whimpers, starting to ride his fingers because he wasn’t using them fast enough for her to get off. He pulled away his fingers immediately, and she whined in annoyance. 

“You’ll take what I give you, won’t you sweetheart?”, he questions, the hand holding her hip moving to her throat. “Fuck..yes..”, she answers, her eyes fluttering as she looks at his hand around her throat. “Please..”

“Please what? You want me to choke you?”

“Yes, a-and let me cum.”, she murmurs, and he cocks an eyebrow, pressing his fingers around her neck just enough to make her vision a little bit disoriented, but it felt so good. “Please.”, she quickly adds and he hums in satisfaction. “Get inside me.”

“You’ll get to cum only if you are a good girl and be quiet, okay? Can you do that for me?”

“Yes.”, she agrees, nodding her head and he releases her neck, turning her around. “If you make a sound, I’m gonna stuff these panties into your pretty little mouth, got it?”

“Uh huh..” Harry flips up her skirt and drags down her panties, before unbuckling his pants and getting his dick out of his boxers. She keeps her hands on the mirror covered wall, and he keeps his hand on her shoulder as he slips his hard cock into her pussy.

“Fuck, so tight around me. Such a perfect hole.”, he groans, and she gasps at the feeling of being full, before quickly remembering that she should be quiet. Harry fucks her deep and quick, making her bite her lip so hard she was sure it was bleeding. It felt so fucking good. 

“Feels good, baby? This what you wanted?”Harry's fingers dig into the flesh of her hip.

“So good.”, she hummed, and let out a small scream as he thrusts quickly, and it hit just the spot. She was struggling to keep standing. 

“What did I tell you?”Harry grabs her ass, squeezing one of her cheeks. “What would happen if you couldn’t be quiet?”

“Y-You’d stuff my panties in m-my mouth..oh god.,”, she moans, and he picks up her panties. “That’s right. Want to let the whole world know what a dirty little girl you are? Open your mouth.”

His fingers grabbed her jaw and squeezed, making her open her mouth and he stuffs her panties into her mouth, making her moan around it as he continues to fuck her. “That’s better. Do you still think you deserve to cum?”

She couldn’t answer with the panties in her mouth, and she didn’t think she would be able to even if she could have. She was seeing stars. But she managed a weak nod.

“Yeah? I don’t think so.``, Harry quickened his pace, feeling him getting close and she clenched around him. “Fuck yes, just like that.”, he groans. “B-Because I’m nice, I’ll let you cum. Let go, baby.”

It doesn’t take much longer for her to tip over the edge, and he has to hold her up to make sure she doesn’t fall on her knees. Her legs were shaking from the orgasm, and her head was floating. Harry groaned as he released as well, slowing down his strokes. He pressed his forehead to her shoulder, breathing as they came down from their highs. 

He takes the panties out of her mouth, and presses a kiss to her shoulder. “Can I pull out?”

She nods, and he does, slowly before turning her around and pushing all the cum dripping down her thighs inside her. She whines from sensitivity. “You’ll hold everything in, right love? I’ll take care of it when we get home after our little shopping trip.”

“I-I think we’re done shopping for the day..”, she sighs, head leaning on his chest and he chuckles, pulling her into his arms. He presses a kiss to the top of her head. “You’re so perfect.”

___________________________________________________

Two days later, y/n and Harry were ready for their trip. She had planned it all for four days, the last day would be the seventh day. The end of her four weeks.

"You can always call me anytime.", y/n tells Uncle Luke as she checks the house over and over again, to make sure he has everything. She had found a home nurse who would take care of him when she was gone.

"I'll be fine, y/n. I told you I don't need a nurse!", he says as y/n checks his medicine cabinet, making sure nothing needs a refill.

"I know you can take care of yourself, the nurse is so I don't freak out, okay?", she says, sitting down when her uncle grabs her wrist.

"I'll be good, I promise.", he says, smiling with the soft glint in his eyes. "But you haven't been on a trip since ages, y/n. I want you to have fun."

y/n smiles, squeezing his hand. "You used to love going to new places and outdoors. I wish you were little again so we could both go get ice cream, and I'd push you on the swing in the park.."

y/n leans forward to hug her uncle, closing her eyes in comfort as his arms wrap around her. "You remind me of Reena sometimes. She would be a beautiful smart girl like you right now, if she was alive."

"She would. I'm sure she's looking at you from up there.", y/n says to him, and Uncle Luke smiles at her. "My little girl. I'll see her some day."

"Yes, until then, you're stuck with me."

y/n gets him to laugh. "Seriously, have fun y/n, don't think about me, okay? I'll call every day, but don't spend too much time worrying about me."

"I'll try.", she nods.

"Guess you gotta go, Harry will be waiting for you.", he says, stroking her hair back.

"Yup. It's just four days, I can do this right?", she asks for assurance, and Uncle Luke nods, placing a kiss on her forehead. "You can. You know, while I was making tea yesterday, I put in salt instead of sugar?"

"Oh god. That must have tasted horrible."

"My point is, y/n, don't trust everything you see or hear. You can't even differentiate salt from sugar if you don't look carefully."

y/n's eyebrows creased, and she bit her lip, thinking about that statement. Did Uncle Luke mean something? He did throw around words like that often, but this seemed different.

"What do you mean, Uncle?", she asks, pulling back from the hug to look at him.

"What do I mean?", he asks, confused. "Wasn't I talking about Reena?"

y/n knew he had forgotten, and there was no point bringing it up again. He would only get sad about the fact that he forgot something he just said. y/n made sure she packed everything, and went to go pick Harry.

She waits for him in the car, and after half an hour of waiting, he finally comes out. She gets out of the car to help him load his bag into the trunk.

"I thought you were gonna bail on me. We're already two hours past the time we were supposed to leave. We have to-"

y/n stops talking as she turns to look at Harry. He had gotten a haircut, shaved his mustache and trimmed his beard. He looked so handsome, the haircut made his eyes stand out. His green eyes were shining bright. He immediately looked a few years younger. His skin glowed in the sunlight. He wore a black t shirt exposing his muscular arms, and displaying all his tattoos. He wore baggy jeans and sneakers with that.

"Enjoying the view? We're not even in Mexico, yet.", Harry smirks at her, his dimples popping.

She blushes, pushing on his shoulder. He looked incredibly hot. "Who are you? What did you do with Doctor Turner?"

"He's gone for vacation, won't be available for four days. I would recommend rescheduling the appointment if you had one.", he says, making her giggle and hug him. "You look great Harry."

"Thank you, and you always do, y/n. Sorry for the delay, I had some last minute packing left. I'm ready to go now. Oh! I didn't know it was convertible.", he says, looking at the car.

"Isn't it sick? I thought you'll like it.", y/n says, watching him go around and look at it.

"Interesting," he agrees. "It's safe, right?"

"Of course. I drive safely. Hop in, let's begin our trip!"

Harry smiles and kisses her before getting in. Harry asks her questions about where they'll be staying, and she tells him she booked a room in a hotel near the beach for the day.

y/n sang along to the music and Harry listened to her with a smile. She really was a sunshine in his life. They stopped for tea on the way, and for a break. It was a little hut-like place, overlooking the hills. It was the only spot she could find on the highway.

y/n clicked some pictures of Harry as he leaned against the car. He caught her, and brought a hand to his face. "Whyy?", he drawls.

"It's a beautiful view!", she says, smiling as she looks at the photos.

"Let me take yours then! Stand there.", he points to a tree, and snatches her phone out of her hands.

"Okay." y/n walks over and strikes a pose, making Harry grin as he clicks. She made a funny face for the next one, and Harry pinched her side playfully when she came back running to him.

"You're so pretty.", he mumbles, pressing a kiss to her head as she looks at the photos. She smiles, leaning her head on his shoulder and tilting her head up to meet his lips. "Thank you."

They hit the road again. Harry had come off a night shift the day before so he was tired. He yawns and leans his head on the window.

"Will you get sleepy and crash if I sleep?", he asks.

"No, I think I'll survive for a while. We have one and half hours more, get recharged.", she pats his knee.

He was too tired to protest, and he let his eyes close. y/n kept looking at him sideways when she could. Harry looked so peaceful. She wished she could keep him safe with her like this forever.

Harry woke up energetic before they got to their hotel. It was a small place, but the view from their room was beautiful. Palm trees stood tall along the beach, dancing to the tune of the breeze emanating from the waters of the sea. They missed the sunset, but the sky was still painted in hues.

They decided to freshen up and then take a walk on the beach side. y/n changed into a purple and pink blouse, paired with matching shorts and put on her sandals. Harry chose a simple white shirt and black shorts. Harry took her hand when they walked, making y/n's heart flutter. They had held hands before, but now they were away from everyone, in their own world and happy.

Then they sat down on the sand while looking at the calm waters. "Why San Francisco?", y/n asks Harry as she traces her thumb on the cross tattoo on his hand. "You didn't grow up here, did you?"

"I don't think so..", Harry murmurs. "I think I'm from London."

She knew he was British from his accent that was incredibly hot, but London was new information. "Then why did you move here?", she asks.

"I-I don't know..I've been here since the time I remember.", he whispers.

"Move back to London, Harry. Or Mexico, or somewhere.", she mumbles, making him look at her. "Leaving you and my life behind?"

"That's what's safe for you. You can get a job there too, build a beautiful house and fall in love with a beautiful girl. Build your life there, Harry. Be happy.", she whispers, kissing his cheek. She couldn't tell him anything more.

"I built my life here, y/n. I don't know if I can do it again. I'm content with what I have now. I don't think it's possible to fall in love again either."

"Again?", y/n lifts her head from his shoulder. Was he talking about Reagen?

He tucks some of her hair behind her ear. "Yeah. I'm in love with you, y/n."

She felt her ribs hurting from the butterflies fluttering from her stomach up to her ribs, pressing on them. Her heart beat so fast, she thought it would explode out of her chest. y/n stroked his cheek as he looked at her with those gorgeous eyes. Her own eyes filled with tears, so she closed them, not wanting him to see and pressed her lips onto his soft ones. Harry's hand moves to the back of her neck, pulling her closer as he kisses her passionately.

"I love you too, Harry.", y/n whispers back, and touches their foreheads together. It was tearing her apart, hurting him. She would be responsible for breaking his heart. She wanted to walk into the sea and scream, letting the waves of the sea drown her voice.

Will he think think that what they have between them is also an act, when he gets to know the truth? But this was all true. y/n couldn't deny it anymore. She was in love with this man. The man who came into her life unexpectedly, and now without whom she cannot imagine living without.

"I'm happy, y/n. As long as I have you, I'll always be happy.", Harry whispers, pressing a sweet kiss to her forehead.

Here’s some silly Charles Headcannons because by god I need to create something.

Gossips to Taima in earshot of who he’s gossiping about.

Pockets are filled with rocks, sticks, bugs, matches, and about everything except what he needs at any given moment.

Had the most obnoxious yet hilariously timed voice cracks as a teenager. Dude would be robbing someone and be like “Your MOney… just put the money in the bag please.”

Cries uncontrollably at movies in modern au. Up? Nope. Any dog movies? No way in hell. A particularly sweet scene on a bad day, that man is GONE.

That man loves water. Beach, lake river, any time he can just float a little he’s in heaven.

Charles has the ability to make friends with anyone’s animals. You have a feral barn cat? It’s in his lap. A reactive dog that hates strangers? It’s getting belly rubs because he’s a wizard.

Children also LOVE him. He doesn’t even have to do anything, but he has that aura that makes kids wanna hang on him like a jungle gym.

Has no idea what to with his hands 90% of the time. That man would love a fidget toy.

EATS ANYTHING. He’s not a bad cook at all but if he’s making dinner for himself he’s eating a carrot and a pack of Vienna sausages.

He didn’t have a lot of sugar as a child and now he gets super hyper after any sweets. Bouncing off the walls, absolutely unhinged but also super productive.

Cannot be trusted around hardware stores. He will add a new project to his giant list of projects.
