Jade can I please get a chatty af yapper sunshine girlfriend with Sirius?? Like May be someone tells her she talks a lot so she's super quiet around him cuz she's worried he'll get annoyed and break up with her but poor Sirius he misses his chatty girl and just angst with fluff
thank you for requesting! fem, 1.4k
James Potter means well. Honestly, you donât think he has a mean bone in his body, so you try not to take it to heart.Â
Unfortunately, your attempts to do so donât work. They really, unquestionably donât. By the time youâre outside of Siriusâ flat that afternoon, Jamesâ small comment is all you can think of.Â
âYouâre so chatty Iâm surprised you donât run out of breath,â heâd said. Not without love. Youâd bumped into him in Sainsburyâs and ended up talking for ages about one thing or another, you know him well, youâd even say you were friends, though heâs of course Siriusâ friend rather than your own. âBut Iâm the same. God, Sirius used to hate how much I talked, heâd be sick of me. I think I numbed him to it over the years.âÂ
You canât imagine it. Sirius and James are best friends. With Remus, theyâre the most in love threesome of friends youâve ever met, and itâs nice; it makes you very proud to have a boyfriend who cares for others as deeply as Sirius cares for them. Itâs like a constant demonstration of how heâs a good man.Â
But youâd never stopped to consider that they werenât always so seamless, and youâve regrettably never considered that your constant talking is something that could put him off.Â
You talk to Sirius about everything. There isnât a word to describe the excitement of having someone waiting to listen to you every single night. You could tell him every detail of a day down to what colour socks you wore and you know heâll sit there listening with his hand on the small of your back, or his fingers twined between yours. Youâve never felt so loved as to be able to just talk about everything and have him talk back.Â
But⊠what if, this whole time, heâs been wishing for a little bit of quiet?Â
What if eventually, the talking becomes too much?Â
He must be with you for a reason. You arenât holding the poor guy hostage, he acts like heâs mad for you ninety percent of the time (while the other ten percent is spent sleeping on your shoulder).Â
Like now âyou knock his door and you can hear him scrambling up from the sofa, the sound of a book dislodged or a remote hitting the rug, youâre not sure. The door yanks open and Sirius smiles at you, pulling you in through the gap with a familiar hand on your hip.Â
âHey,â Sirius says, tucking you against his side, âhey, did you get lovelier over the weekend?â He shoves the door closed and gives you a hug with one arm, pausing in the hall. âSorry I couldnât see you. I donât think we should miss another weekend.âÂ
You have a lot to tell him. Itâs been ages since you spent nearly three days apart, but Jamesâ conversation stays at the front of your mind.Â
You decide to be less overwhelming, but not less loving, curling your arm behind his head to pull his cheek down for a kiss. âI donât think so, either.âÂ
Sirius tilts his head away from you in an invitation for more kissing.Â
Youâre at home in his flat. You take off your shoes and hang up your jacket. You change into a pair of jogging bottoms with loose legs and let him hoist you onto his bed for a few stolen kisses, though he isnât propositioning you, and you end up laying across his bedspread with one of your legs in his lap as he tells you about his days without you, his thumb sliding with pressure down your calf.Â
âMostly I wished Iâd asked you to come over anyways, even if it was just to sleep together at the end of the day. Maybe next time we can do that?â he asks.Â
âOf course we can.â You smile at him indulgently. âIâd come over for twenty minutes if it was all I could get.âÂ
âOr I can come to you,â he says, âeven if itâs just twenty minutes.âÂ
He smiles, a beaming thing, and leans down slowly for a soft kiss.Â
âSo,â he asks, his breath on your lips, âhow was your weekend? Lonely?âÂ
âSo lonely,â you tease lightly, eyes fluttering closed as he continues his massaging of your leg. âBut it was okay. I missed you, really, and didnât do much else.â
âNo?â he asks.Â
Your voice takes on a shine as he squeezes your knee, âMissed your hands.â Â
âI missed your everything.â He grabs for your forearms and pulls you into a sitting position. âBut everything was okay?â he asks more seriously.Â
âEverything was fine.âÂ
He raises his eyebrows, but eventually lets them relax. âWell, okay. Good, sweetheart, Iâm glad it was okay.âÂ
He persuades you into the kitchen to sit with him as he makes dinner, refusing to let you help, and yet insisting you be there in the same room, as though youâd like to be anywhere else. Sirius makes your favourite of his usual rotation, offering you spoonfuls for tasting, gaps of silence stretching as he struggles to find new conversation. You start answering his questions but remember time and time again that Sirius could become totally sick of you. He might already be.Â
Sirius puts the food on a low heat and washes his hands. He wipes them dry, but when he takes your face, dampness lines the inside of his fingers.Â
âIâd like for you to tell me whatâs wrong,â he says gently, stroking at the line of your startled frown, âbefore it gets worse. Do you want to talk about it?âÂ
âNothingâs wrong.âÂ
âPlease donât, lovely. If Iâve done something wrong, please tell me. I want us to last forever, and we canât do that if you wonât tell me when I upset you.âÂ
âIt wasnât you,â you say instinctively, then regret it.Â
âSo someone has?â he asks, still so gentle as his hands coast down your neck like heâs sculpting you, coming to rest on the slopes leading to your shoulders. âYou can tell me anything. You donât have to keep it to yourself⊠please.âÂ
âAre you sure?âÂ
âSweetheart.â He frowns deeply. Couldnât look more upset. âOf course Iâm sure. Why wouldnât I be?âÂ
You chew it over, not wanting or willing to cause ructions between Sirius and his oldest friend. âWell, I saw James today at the shop, and⊠we were talking about youâŠâÂ
He waits. âAnd?âÂ
âAnd he told me youâ you donât like talking. That you didnât like talking, that James used to make you sick of it. So I know I talk too much and youâve never made me feel like I shouldnât, but I guess I got into my head thinking youâd get sick of me, too.âÂ
âWhen we were younger I didnât like much of anything.â He curls an arm behind your neck to hold you in place, but itâs not a dominant sort of movement, only protective as your noses inch together. âDid you ever read that poem by Bukwoski? Let It Enfold You?âÂ
âWhat?âÂ
âIâm not very good at explaining myself. I thought if you knew the poem, youâdââ He laughs near your cheek. âI hated everything. It wasnât Jamesâ fault. He did make me sick of it sometimes, but I just wanted to hide from everything.â He breathes out slowly. âIâve never wanted to hide from you. I canât get sick of you. Do you get that? I canât get sick of you. Listening to you is the best part of my day, youâre my personal chatterbox.âÂ
âChatterbox,â you repeat teasingly.Â
âYou could talk for Wales,â he says. âAnd I love it, I donât want you to stop, because Iâll never be sick of it.â
âI donât want it to be some secret resentment.â
âI donât resent you for anything. I knew exactly who you were when we met and I love it.â He takes your face again. âI love it,â he repeats.Â
You steal a little kiss against the corner of his lips. âWhat was the poem?â you ask.Â
âIâll find my book, and you can read it to me. What do you think?â He takes a slow kiss as you had in the same place, words like honey. âI miss your voice.âÂ
Heâs basically pleading. Itâs not like Sirius to plead, but you pull it out of him.Â
âCan I have my dinner first?âÂ
âThe one I made while you deprived me?â he asks. âYes, if you must.âÂ
He takes another kiss, but youâre happy to give it.Â

Lnds: The boys as parents
Warning: Long post ahead! 3.7K words in total! reader is MC! f!reader, AFAB!reader, implied abortion
Author's note: I went a little too overboard and specific with this one... IDK if you guys will like it. Might make a part 2/Individual fics it this post does well!
Zayne as a father:
He became a parent to 2 kids, both adopted. The eldest is a boy, and the youngest is a girl.
After a life-threatening complication when you were pregnant (it involved the problem in your heart, you and your husband decided to adopt instead. The first was a 4-year-old boy and, later on, a 2-year-old girl from an island near Linkon City.
Zayne works hard as a chief surgeon; even then, the pay at AKSO Hospital is no joke. Despite preparing more than enough money to live comfortably with a child, something within him fueled his desire to do better: before you got married, he worked hard to become a part of the Hospital's board of directors. This allowed him to control his time more and spend fewer hours working.
When you and Zayne adopted your first boy, a 4-year-old named Elias, you met him as a quiet little boy which you found working hard to try and read an outdated newspaper on the island. A few months later, you discovered your now-son's interests in academics and learning. Zayne was pleasantly surprised to see his little boy eager to learn about things outside of the island, so much so that the chief surgeon almost immediately registered him to enter formal schooling.
Most people would assume that, like himself, he expected his son to achieve great things in school, but on some school nights, before bedtime, Zayne would talk to your son. "You're doing well in school, Elias. But don't forget to have fun." You thought Zayne would never really have time to visit your son's plays and school activities. Still, much to your surprise, he was there for most of it, especially in events where your son is involved. It was such a comedic sight watching your husband hold a noncellular camera.
Being a part of the hospital board of directors meant long and lengthy meetings, so there were times when he still had to work late and leave beyond working hours. Sometimes, you let your son stay up and accompany you to pick up your husband. Of course, that's also to buy a hotpot for a midnight snack on the way. There were also times when you and your son would fall asleep on the couch waiting for him. He quickly picks you up and places you on his bed, tucking you and himself five minutes later. The next thing you know, it's morning, and the smell of waffles is wafting in the air.
He wasn't outwardly affectionate, but it's more than evident that he loves his son. He praises him to his colleagues (unknowingly), and he gives him gifts, and the cost doesn't matter. But sometimes, he shows love to his child through words, Complimenting his son's actions and skills.
He rarely scolds his son as he's the less strict parent. Your dynamic is the type where if you don't allow your son to go do something, he'll call his dad for backup. You almost always give in. Zayne never really puts his hand on his son. Instead, he opts for a more, face-the-consequence-of-your-actions type of dad. He lets his son be and ensures Elias learns that there are things he can't and shouldn't do. On more bad days, when your son is extremely hard-headed, Zayne will tell him what to do.
A few years later, despite many ups and downs, both of you decided to adopt from the same island again. It was a year-old infant named Penelope who was handed to the orphanage due to the death of her mother.
Between the two of you, Zayne was the one who fell in love first. He never expected to be a girl dad, and he didn't think too much of it until he saw her in your arms. The first thing she did was grab his finger and giggle, looking so beautiful against the island's sunset.
When she grew a bit older, Zayne became fond of how she began to resemble you in terms of actions and personality. She was undoubtedly the type of kid to make a fuss about the little things and act cunningly to get her way and, at the same time, not cry over the things that made her sad or hurt her.
She was often seen with you and clinging to you if not Elias. With her, things were an unspoken competition between Elias and Zayne. He was her first in many things: first dance, first time riding a bike, and first parent to be called by her, except for the first kiss. Her first kiss was given to his older brother, and it was on the forehead. Zayne sulked for the rest of the day while your son held that against him, stating that his little sister loves him more than his dad.
Despite this, Zayne and Elias developed another thing, an unspoken urge to protect the little girl. It may not seem like it, but Elias always focuses on Penelope, ensuring she's doing alright in school and having fun. Zayne sometimes sneaks into the daycare to peek at her daughter's condition. On Zayne's day off, Elias would tell stories about what Penelope does on a day-to-day basis. Thanks to his son, he was well-versed in her daughter's life events despite working a lot in the Hospital.
Xavier as a father:
Xavier is a father to one male child.
It was an unplanned pregnancy, which you only realized when you had your Quarterly checkup at headquarters. The doctor ruled you unfit to work on the field because you were carrying a month-old baby. You gagged at the news, and on the same day, you told Xavier. He just stared at you and turned red.
Xavier wasâŠenthusiastic(?) with your pregnancy. Despite being the type not to really change when you were pregnant, he was always on guard and on your beck and call, buying out whatever cravings you had, even at midnight or on a rainy day (He was the one having cravings; You settled with whatever food you had in the house.)
While you were at home resting with him, you observed his behavior change. He was more silent than usual, looking out of the window; when you asked, he told you that his having a child felt like a fever dream. Xavier was unprepared to be a father but willing to learn. His trove of light novels and comic books slowly began to be invaded by parent magazines and guidebooks on caring for an infant. If he has some day off, he will be by your side to help you do stuff around the house or attend parenting classes behind your back.
When you gave birth, even through the amniotic fluid and white stuff covering the child, you could easily see that he was a pure carbon copy of Xavier. There was no part of the little baby that resembled you at all. Both in physical appearance and in attitude. Xavier cried tears of joy upon seeing your child born, albeit he never showed anyone his crying face. You know he did because his eyes and nose were puffier than usual.
The baby was quiet; it coos, plays with its saliva, and asks for a lot of milk, but I rarely cry. The only time it cries is if a loud sound is disturbing it from sleeping. And even when he cries, gently tapping and lulling him within five minutes will stop the little guy from crying.
The baby was attached to him. The baby would unknowingly leer towards him whenever he was around, asking to be picked up, to which Xavier would happily do so. He was a sleepy child and liked to nap even in broad daylight. He was easily fed and didn't put up much of a fight, even in his older years.
At the age of three, it was the beginning period where his little meek personality began to change. The kid was adventurous and the curious type. He was often found in his own world observing the little things in life, like a trail of ants or a kitten atop a tree branch, yet it seemed like he was curious to learn more things. He liked to observe from up close, which is why he was often seen on tiptoes trying to look over a lot of stuff or squatting down to observe the smaller insects on the ground.
To help him foster his talents and strengths, Xavier brings him to the headquarters once a week to let him run around and train. You were against it initially, but seeing your little boy imitate his father with clumsy focus made your heart swoon. A few years later. The kid was in school; Xavier was the one who attended the boy's school activities as you had to work most of the time, leading a team of your own.
He was doing well compared to the average students in school. Still, the teacher complained that the little boy kept sleeping in class, often getting him scolded and demerit. Xavier scratched his head and apologized, saying the little boy must've been exhausted after midnight play-dates with him.
Xavier keeps physical albums in his home, one for the family, one for you and him, and one dedicated to your child's life. Much to your surprise, he was more hands-on with his child than you might expect. Xavier never lets you carry your son for too long; he's afraid that you would collapse from exhaustion. He'd also be the one to put him to sleep, almost always falling asleep with his own son.
He's not the type to gift his child physical things (he still does occasionally). He would prefer to take you guys out to different locations, like a new arcade, a new park, or a place where your son could explore freely and safely. Xavier adores his child and keeps a photo of him on his lock screen. On his desk is a family picture of you and him that you take every year.
Xavier was the favorite parent when the little boy grew up because he was calmer, more collected, and the cooler one between you two. It's not that you weren't, but you know how boys are. Xavier tells his son many stories that he passes off as "fairytales" when, in reality, it was actually his real adventures in the decades he has lived and worked. But his favorite ones were when he and you fought against the wanderers side to side.
Needless to say, Xavier was a role model and a doting father. Because his appearance never really changed, at some point in the far future, he would be mistaken as the little boy's twin brother instead. It became a running joke in your family, so much so that out of pity, your son decided to dye his hair a different color to make him distinguishable.
Xavier and your son continued to have a boss and subordinate relationship in the hunter's association, which a lot of people really admired. On the other hand, you ran the bigger team and were on the field most of the time. Memories of regular days are filled with seeing each other in the medical Bay, on the field, or in a restaurant after a long fight on the field.
Rafayel as a father:
Father to two girls.
Rafayel's baby was not planned. In fact, he never believed you were pregnant until he saw signs of your body changing, especially the morning sickness and cravings. It's not that he didn't want to be a father, but it was simply too sudden for him, and he couldn't absorb it well.
He went a little overboard in preparation, hoarding many little clothes that your child would definitely outgrow. He brags about your pregnancy to many people, saying he's excited to be a father and always wanted a family of his own. People congratulate you a lot, even if you don't know who they are. On random days, you keep getting mail for some reason, and it's oversized packages: bassinets, branded feeding bottles, bottle steamers, and a box full of infant diapers. Safe to say, you really didn't need to buy a lot of things for your little passenger.
Unlike you, who was pretty lenient in designing the bedroom for your daughter, he was nit-picky as hell. The interior designer and suppliers had a hard time dealing with your husband, and you could only apologize secretly on his behalf. Nonetheless, the room turned out to be more beautiful than you expected.
When the baby arrived, he was crying, but he denied it. Yet everyone in the room could see him cry like a diva. Everyone wanted to see the baby, and so did your friends. Still, to your surprise, Rafayel refrained from letting anyone visit you for fear of the infant contracting any diseases from the visitors.
You decided to name her Anastasia. He was undeniably meant to be a girl dad. There was no day in the week when the little baby was dressed poorly. She would always wear on-brand clothes; even simple pajamas cost more than they should. He bought her dolls, stuffed toys, and those big dollhouses collectors buy.
When the little baby girl grew up and began to attend school, Rafayel would always ask for a kiss on the cheek, which your daughter would happily give.
Rafayel likes to gossip with you and your daughter, and he is a good source of news because he always knows the juicier side of stories. With your daughter, he knows the reputation of each and every parent. Sometimes, they go too far and pick on your daughter's classmates, e.g., telling them that their clothes are old-fashioned or that one kid looks like a mean bully. The bad thing is, your daughter thinks so as well. You and Rafayel once went to her sports day competition and saw her play a three-legged race partnered with a boy. You could see the smoke coming out of Rafayel's head, and you had to cover his mouth because he was uttering profanities. Something like: "Get your hands off my daughter, you littleâŠ"
Raf likes to give gifts as a sign of affection, and your daughter is thankful, but on special days, she doesn't request anything. Instead, she insists on having a dad-daughter date instead. Thanks to those moments, Raf began to lean more towards spending time together rather than showering her with gifts.
She grew up replicating Rafayel's diva-ness as her form of humor, and she usually tries to get away with stuff using that method. But she was family-oriented, being the type to show affection outwardly. She most definitely became a daddy's girl and would always go to him for help.
Later on, when your first child reached her teen years, you decided to have another child, and this time, it was a girl whom you named Charlotte. Rafayel was more tamed with the room decoration this time, but not with the gifts and outfits. He didn't allow any secondhand items from Anastasia to be given to the younger one.
Rafayel, despite already being a seasoned dad, was more overprotective with his second daughter, hiring a nanny for her. He would be restless if he didn't manage to see her for two days, so he refrained from going out of town unless necessary. If he did, however, he would always call you and ask how Charlotte was doing. You would turn the phone to your daughter, but she wouldn't pay him any mind and continue coloring in her little notebook.
Unlike Anastasia, Charlotte preferred to be with you. She was the more reserved of the two siblings, but she was mature for her age. She knew what she wanted and would outwardly deny if whatever she was doing or receiving was not to her liking. She wasn't that dramatic and would just stare at her sister or father whenever they exaggerated their emotions in front of her.
Sometimes, you and Charlotte just like to watch your other daughter and your husband act all dramatic. Then you just brush them off and spend your day drinking tea and eating cupcakes.
Sylus as a father
Sylus is the father of twins. One boy, one girl.
You weren't married when you found out you were pregnant; you were his lover by then, but you were severely unprepared to have children, considering the environment you guys were in. You got married in secret, and he made a promise to protect you and your children despite living in the N109 zone.
Upon the birth of your children, he was mainly on edge. He got you the best doctors and midwives. Although your birth was surprisingly smooth sailing, you heard some stories from the nurses nearby about how Sylus was threatening a doctor if you ended up with complications. Thankfully, the twins were delivered safely.
Between the twins, the eldest is a girl you named Mauve, and the boy, Claude. Mauve had your eyes, but his hair color was daunting, and he had a more pale skin tone, while Claude resembled you more than Sylus, except for his eyes.
Sylus didn't care much for the children; he made that apparent by focusing more on you and his work and leaving the kids to the nanny. That quickly changed after six months. On a random day, he saw you tending to your children, both sleeping soundly in your arms. You seemed at peace inside the bedroom, looking out into the distance. Something switched inside of Sylus, which neither of you can point out, but there was one thing for sure: You guys were now a family.
The mindset change perplexed you the most because, beginning that day, Sylus made a quiet effort to learn how to take care of the twins. He was often seen with the nanny, asking for specific methods of washing the feeding bottles or bathing the twins. And in no less than a month, he was practically the one taking care of your children whenever he was at home.
Sylus doesn't spoil his children more than necessary. Sure, they had rooms of their own and a decent amount of toys, branded items, and clothes, but he only gave them a little more than necessary. He firmly believes that children should learn to work hard at an early age to not get disappointed in the future; you scolded him for that, though, after all, they were just children.
Sylus always plays with his children whenever he can. He doesn't like it when family time is interrupted by business, so he ensures no one disturbs the residence until you and the children have had enough fun. His play methods are surprisingly tame and even comedic; after all, the sight of Sylus dawning twin-tails and stickers on his face doesn't come by that often. On days when he's out of town, Luke and Kieran are the ones who play with the children, and not even they can withstand the dress-up and role-play.
Whenever things get complicated in the organization, or even a hint of danger lurks around the family, Sylus sends you and the children away to a residence under a different name. It was located on a more private island, which only his private jet could access. Then, he deals with the problem as swiftly as possible.
A few more years later, Sylus changed. His principle of hard work equals good rewards shifted, and he slowly began to spoil the twins. They were spoiled, but it was surprising that they were obedient. That is until you spied around them when you were supposed to be at work. It was thanks to this that you realized another thing: Sylus is the type of father who says, "I can't do anything, your mother said no. Sorry, kids." when you're around and "C'mon kids, who will scold you? Your mom is at work, and I'm the parent in charge!" when you're not.
Thanks to this, you also discovered the real nature of your children behind the nice, good children facade.
They were naughty: They liked to play pranks on your husband, but Sylus always outsmarts them. You constantly wondered where they were picking up these silly pranks until you saw them huddled together with Luke and Kieran in a random corner of the house.
The twins were cunning: They greeted guests with a smile and treated maids with care, but they sneaked around the staff room and reported to Sylus what they heard. Once, they broke a vase and convinced you that Mephisto did it.
They were eccentric: The smiles on their faces were business smiles whenever other people were around. Note they were smiling ear to ear, but their smile was unsettling once you realized that you had entered the house of Onichynus' leader. It was almost threatening even.
Sylus, despite not looking like it, valued education as he believed it could give his children an advantage. Still, he'd let his children be street-smart rather than book-smart. Because of this belief, he would bring his children around for business meetings and less dangerous missions. You once argued with him over the twins' safety. Still, they reassured you that they're more than capable of protecting themselves.
A few years later, into adulthood, Claude was quietly regarded as a lethal weapon due to his proficiency in engineering (nuclear & Chemical) and in statistics; His background and frightening loyalty to his father and Onychinus amplified the organization's fearsome reputation.
On the other hand, Mauve was the front of Onychinus, often leaving the country to make business deals on behalf of his father, who was busy working at home. The woman was responsible. She was undoubtedly a gambler who believed high stakes = high rewards, yet she had never once lost that gamble.
But when you and your family get together for dinner every week, it's like they're the most mundane family ever, talking about what they hear out on the street and what the new neighbors are up to or what new places to visit in Linkon City. You justâŠcame to accept it.

Please, Please, Please - pt.1
Summary: âHarry is utterly fascinated by his new neighbor, Y/N, and takes it upon himself to protect her. But little does Y/N know, that Harry may be the person she is supposed to be running fromâŠâ
Wc: 5.6k
Tropes: good girl x bad boy / neighbors
Warnings: mentions of violence, cursing, bit of gaslighting.
A/N: THIS IS A TWO PART ONE SHOT based on this request. Please note that it is based around the MUSIC VIDEO, not necessarily the song itself! I decided to cut it up into two parts, because it was getting awfully long, and I was too eager to share it with you. Next part will be steamy!
General Masterlist
PART 2
You sigh, looking up at your new home. Wellâ you think. You're not exactly sure which window is yours, but you will figure it out once you're on the right floor. You adjust the duffel bag that is slung over your shoulder, and grab your suitcase before walking towards the entrance.
With your new set of keys which you got from the landlord yesterday, you open the door to the lobby. Or, hallway with post boxes. That would definitely be a more accurate way to describe it.
When you were little and fantasized about moving into a place of your own, you have to admit, you did imagine something a bit less... intimidating. Unfortunately, you had been left with no choice.
Ever since your dad died about five years ago, your mother has been serial dating like there was no tomorrow. You had learned to ignore the different men in your kitchen, eating the cereal and drinking your coffee at 7am, but lately something had changed.
Your mother had stuck with one man.
Sadly for youâand your mother, although she wasn't ready to admit thatâthe guy was a fucking prick. Worst thing about him? He was sneaky about it. When you confronted your mother, telling her you weren't sure if her new boyfriend was that good of a guy, she had flipped out. As she threw all kinds of accusations on the table, such as you not wanting her to be happy and even insinuating you want her boyfriend for herself, you decided that enough was enough.
That night, you hunted the internet for an affordable place. It's how you found this apartment. You knew it wasn't the best neighborhood, but it was a place of your own, and you were sure that you could make it on your own over there.
After all, you had a well paid office job not too far away, and the costs of the apartment wouldn't interfere too much with your saving for law school.
So, kind of on a whim, you contacted the landlord. And now, here you are, ready to unpack all of your stuff. Your mother had at least been so kind to hire a moving truck, but you think it mainly had to do with her wanting you out of her house as quick as possible. You shared the sentiment, so you hadn't said much about it, besides a polite thank you of course.
It takes you three hours to get everything upstairs, and the janitor, Rod, even helps you out with some of the big furniture. Being a tall, broad guy, appearing to be in his sixties, you had actually been quite unnerved by him. Nevertheless, you decided to play smart and throw him a sweet smile the first time you ran into him. It had faded the seemingly permanent frown on his ever so slightly, and after introducing yourself, his face was even neutral.
It didn't take more than three minutes of chit chat before Rod had warmed up to you, and by the end of the fifteen minutes, he offered to help you. If it hadn't been for him, you would've still been carrying pieces of your couch into your apartment.
You had been able to take over the bed frame and the dining table from the previous owner, so you only had to put your mattress on your bed before you could let yourself fall on it and chill out for a while.
After letting yourself rest for about fifteen minutes, you unpack as much of the stuff in the kitchen, and you spend the rest of the night unpacking your clothes while dancing to the music that blasts through your headphones.
At around midnight, you pass out during a feeble attempt at sorting your socks.
Your peaceful slumber gets interrupted, however, by an array of less peaceful noises coming from another apartment. The first few minutes awake are spent with your eyes stubbornly closed, hoping to fall asleep again, but when you hear an extremely loud thud, your eyes shoot open.
Getting up from your bedroom, you walk over to your door, and look through the peephole. It doesn't seem like there is anyone in the hallway, and the sounds do seem to have quieted down. You sigh, turning around to go back to your bed, when you hear a shout, followed by another thump. Frowning, you go back and open the door, walking out into the hallway. You squint, and blink a few times to get used to the harsh light. Then, you knock on the door in front of you.
There's a couple of voices sounding from inside the apartment, but no one answers. You groan, knocking again, and even harsher this time. It grows quiet, and you are contemplating going back to bed, hoping whoever is on the other side of that wall got the message, but then the door swings open.
In front of you stands a man, with brown curls and a very apparent frown on his face. One that falters ever so slightly at the sight of you, and is accompanied by a small smirk. He leans against the door frame. His cross necklace dangles, visible by his dress shirt that is far from buttoned all the way up, and you swear it hypnotizes you for the shortest second.
"H-hi." You stammer, looking at the man with wide eyes. His smirk grows, and you forget why you are even here.
"Hello." He greets back, hands sliding into his pockets as he looks you up and down, shamelessly. "What can I do for you, sweetheart?"
"Uh, I just moved into the apartment across from you, and I was wondering if you could keep down the noise a little bit?" You ask, but the man doesn't respond. He solely scans you with some sort of frown on his face. You can't deduce whether that is his neutral face, or if he's pissed at you. Nevertheless, you are kind of scared. "It's justâ I don't mean to be rude. I just have to get up very early, and it was very loud, so... also, are you okay? It'sâ I heard a thud, I thought maybe someone fell?"
Once again, it grows quiet between the two of you. With every passing moment of silence, you are regretting your choice to knock. Did you really have to piss off your neighbors the first night you moved in? Couldn't have just battled through a broken night? You curse yourself as you wait for some sort of answer.
"Sure, sweetheart. I'll shut it all down for you."
You let out a breath of relief, glad to see he is not taking it badly. You bite your lip, trying to fight your smile from getting too wide.
"Really? Thank you so much! I appreciate it, and I really didn't mean to offend you or anything. I promise, it's just because I have to get up so early and the coffee at my work is horrible soâ" You stop yourself mid-sentence when you realize you are babbling your new neighbor's ear off. "Never mind. Good night, and nice to meet you. My name is Y/N, by the way."
The man doesn't say anything once again, so you take it as your cue to get the fuck back to bed before making it worse. You walk into your apartment, turning around to close the door, when you hear his voice.
"Harry."
Your head shoots up, tilting it ever so slightly at the sudden word spoken by your neighbor. He tilts his head, mocking you, as he repeats the name while pointing to himself. With that, he turns around and closes the door. You do the same, leaning against the door as you realize you have the hottest new neighbor ever.
Another, extremely loud thud sounds from his apartment, and your eyebrows knit together. A loud voice is heard, one that is clearly Harry's shouting 'sorry!'. You giggle, shaking your head at the comedic timing before waltzing back to your bed.
Little do you know, that while you fall back asleep in your comfortable bed, your new neighbor thinks about you through the entire night. Harry's mind is absent, even as they drag the body of the guy that didn't pay up in time out of his apartment, even as he scrubs the blood off his hands and face.
"Sure, sweetheart. I'll shut it all down for you."
He had been purely sarcastic, baffled by the fact that you even had the guts to knock on his door. The first time you knocked, he thought it was just noise from outside or something. No one was stupid enough to knock on Harry Styles' door. No one was dumb enough to risk it.
But someone did knock; an insanely beautiful woman with nothing but an oversized shirt on. Well, shorts under it maybe, but for the sake of his imagination, you didn't. And you weren't stupid, you just didn't know whose door you were knocking on.
Anyone else who would have been foolish enough to do so, especially while he was dealing with a deadbeat who owed him more than enough money, would've met an entirely different fate.
The way you stumbled over your words and let your eyes travel over his body had given him too much of an ego boost not to play with you a little bit. And once you had reacted so genuinely to his sarcastic response, he somehow didn't have it in his heart to tell you that he wasn't being serious.
Which is strange, because he didn't peg himself for someone with a heart, not anymore.
Nevertheless, he decided that you were right. The incessant noise had gone on long enough. And so, right after he closed the door, Harry turned around aimed his silencer right at the deadbeat's head. Following the thud of his body falling down, he had shouted a 'sorry' for the last noise he would make that night.
Now, as he lays in bed, the reason for his sleeplessness isn't the weight of another death on his shoulders. No, it's his new neighbor and her long, bare legs.
************************************************
ONE DAY LATER
Your shoulders are hurting.
After yesterday's moving activities and today's excruciatingly long day at work, you are exhausted. Not only did you have to do an insane amount of paperwork today, you also got assigned to even more administrative work that shouldn't even be yours to deal with in the first place.
When you had mentioned you wanted to gain experience in the field of law during your interview for receptionist at a law firm, you hadn't expected them to throw all the work in your lap. You were doing a lot of things, spending way too many after hours in the office, doing jobs that were never in your job description, and instead labeled as 'ways to gain experience'. The worst thing is, your boss is acting like these tasks are a huge favor to you, but you know it's just the jobs that they are too lazy to do themselves.
Nonetheless, you don't say anything about it. Despite the cruelness and sometimes uselessness of the assignments you are given, you do have access to active cases that lawyers are working on, and it gives you an opportunity to observe their styles and its effectiveness.
Wanting to become a lawyer is something you had always dreamed of. You loved justice, and you weren't afraid to fight for it. In your day to day life, you are very sweet, bubbly, and in some casesâlike yesterdayâeven shy. But once you are in a professional setting, you can switch and stand strong. The division between your personal and professional self is one you have learned to balance very well, and you also use it as a secret weapon. People are way too quick to underestimate you, and you always make sure it comes back to bite them in the ass.
You put your groceries and briefcase on the ground, allowing yourself to look for your keys, which you forgot to take out of your bag and are now buried somewhere at the bottom. Head deep into your purse, you don't notice Harry walking out of his apartment until his door shuts. It is right after you've found your keys, so with them in hand you turn around to greet him with a smile.
Your new neighbor looks gorgeous, which doesn't bode well for you because you are currently feeling like an expired, mushy sack of potatoes. You shiver at the thought.
"Hey!" You say instead.
"Hello sweetheart." His smooth, English accent hits your ears just right. "Sleep well last night?"
Your cheeks turn pink, and you nod. "Yes, thank you for asking. Oh! Speaking of..."
You turn around and bend down to dig through your grocery bag. When your eyes meet Harry's again, you are reaching out a bouquet of flowers. He stares at it, wary of your intentions.
"They're for you." You feel the need to clarify.
"Aw, sweetheart, you didn't have to go through the hassle of buying me flowers. I'm quite an easy man you know, all you have to do is ask." He says, grin wide as he observes the way your eyes nearly pop out of your sockets at the suggestion of him and you. He likes seeing you all flustered.
"W-what, no! Iâ it was for yesterday! Because you were so nice to me. I wanted to make up for meeting in such an unfortunate way. Didn't want you to think you have a shitty neighbor now or something." You explain, watching Harry's amusement at your awkwardness.
"I'd never think that, sweetheart." His voice is low, and despite saying it in a bit of a joking way, you swallow at the sound of the sentence. The raspiness of it just gets to you. You brush your nerves off with a weak smile, and turn to open your door.
"Well, have a good night." You say, awkwardly waving at Harry as you carry your bags into your apartment. You place them in your hallway before walking back to close the door. Harry waves back with the flowers, winking at you.
"Good night, sweetheart."
Your heart races at the continuous nickname. It sounds so sexy coming out of his mouth, and it is the only thing you can think of as you cook your dinner. It is even hard to concentrate while watching your favorite show.
A few hours go by, and the sound of Harry's voice doesn't fade from your mind. Neither does the excruciating pain in your shoulders. At around nine p.m. you give up and decide to grab some painkillers. However, to your great horror, you find out that you ran out and forgot to buy new ones.
Cursing yourself, you rush over to your coatrack and grab your jacket. Along with your purse, containing important things such as money, your keys, and pepper spray, you leave your apartment to pop into the convenience store nearby.
It's only a five minute walk, but with your speed you cut a minute from that estimate. It takes a little bit to find the paracetamol, but after grabbing two boxes of pills, you rush to the cash register. You wait until the man in front of you has paid, smiling politely when he turns around to walk out of the store, and step forward to pay for your painkillers.
Despite the cashier's monotone voice, you are more than satisfied with this convenience store, and you walk out smiling at the knowledge of being rid of your pain very soon.
You flinch at the sight of the man from before standing right outside, grinning at you as you walk by. Despite his middle aged appearance, his teeth are rather yellow. You avoid making further eye contact, tension growing in your stomach. As you walk back to your apartment, you make sure to keep your pace quick.
You're too scared to look behind you, but you feel it. You feel that this man is walking a few meters behind you and you also feel like you might throw up. But you keep walking, keys in one hand, pepper spray in the other.
You are ready to open the door that leads you to the hallway of your apartment complex, and immediately push the key into the hole once you get there. But for some stupid fucking reason, the door won't budge. Your heartbeat rises and your hands are getting clammy as you shimmy your keys, trying to open that goddamn door. As your eyes begin to water, you hear a voice behind you.
"Need some help, pumpkin?"
Frantically, your gaze searches for a way to get out of here. It falls into the intercom, but you can't seem to find some sort of emergency button. Since you can't buzz yourself in, that option seems to be useless.
Then, an idea enters your mind.
You take a deep breath, hoping it'll steady your voice before you respond. "No thank you."
The man chuckles. "I think you do. 'S okay, I like a damsel in distress."
Pulling the key out of the hole and wrapping your hand around it, you turn around to the man. You swallow your pride and try to be as nice as you can be when rejecting someone. Stepping back a bit, you almost lean against the wall as you blindly press one of the buttons behind you. Luckily, the noise of ringing a bell isn't very loud from downstairs, so you don't think the man notices your sneaky action.
"I am fine, good night." You say, your smile gone now. You can't find it in yourself to be nice and sweet after that creepy comment. Technically, you are very helpless right now. Because of him, and his actions that fill you with fear. The threat of his presence is what makes you that 'damsel in distress' in the first place, and you hate the fact that men idolize saving you when often they are the danger itself.
"I don't think you are. Why don't you come with me, get a drink together?" His tone is dominated by the insincerity that drips from his words. You know it isn't a question, it's a command. The salacious smirk he wears with it is disgusting, and the way his eyes shamelessly scan you makes you want to shower five times just to feel less gross.
You feel the slight pain in your thumb for pressing so much and hard into the button behind you, but you can't help but pray that your idea will work.
"No, please leave me alone." You try to be as stern as you can, although your shaky voice isn't conveying that message very well.
"I don't think you understood what I said, pumpkin. You and me are gonna get a drink together." He reaches forward and grabs you by your arm, pulling you towards him. You try to shake him off of you, but his grip only tightens. You choke out a cry, still trying to get his grimy hands off of you while he only buries his fingernails further into your skin.
"Let me go!" You scream as loud as you can, hoping that there is someone who will at least hear you. Your free hand reaches into your purse, and you pull out your pepper spray. In a split second, you are holding it up and spray it in the man's eyes.
He shrieks in shock, and lets go of you, covering his eyes with his hands. You quickly turn around to run back inside, but crash into a body on your way there.
Holding your waist, Harry keeps you from falling over. He frowns, his jaw clenching when he catches your terror filled, red eyes.
"Go inside." He orders. While the context is stern, the words spoken come out way softer than one would think when demanding something from someone. You don't have to be told twice, rushing through the open door and running up the countless flights of stairs. You are completely out of breath when you reach your floor, but you don't stop hurrying until you are in the safety of your own apartment.
You tear all your clothes off your body, feeling like you might choke because everything you have on feels to tight to your skin. You keep crying as you jump into the shower to wash yourself off, as you take off your make-up, and as you put a tank top and loose sweatpants on your freshly washed body.
You take your head out of the bun it was in to keep it dry as you walk towards your front door upon hearing a knock. When you open it, you're standing face-to-face with your neighbor.
"Are you okay?" Harry asks, eyebrows knotted as he looks at you. You nod, not wanting to say a word because you don't want to make him uncomfortable by becoming a blubbering mess in front of him. "Can I come in?"
You nod again, opening the door further so he can enter your place. His steps are careful and light, and you see his eyes scan the apartment as he walks in. You shut the door behind him, making Harry turn around to look at you.
He is back at your side as soon as he spots the marks on your arm that the creepy man left when he tried to take you to god knows where. With a tight jaw, Harry glances up at you.
"You need to put ice on that. It's gonna bruise."
You look down, too timid to meet his gaze, and notice Harry's red knuckles. It doesn't take you very long to put two and two together. For some reason, you don't want to directly mention that just yet, so instead you whisper:
"You too."
Harry lets out a breathy chuckle and nods his head, watching you as you walk over to your freezer to get some ice. Putting it in two different dish cloths, you hand one to him before walking over to your couch. Harry follows suit, plopping next to you and putting the cloth meant for him on your arm.
Flushed from that action, you slowly grab his hand and place it flat on your thigh. Ignoring the way it makes the rest of your body feel, you press the ice filled cloth against his knuckles, hoping the cold will give him some relief. He winces, his fingers tightening around your thigh ever so slightly before immediately relaxing again.
Your eyes travel to your own arm, initially to see Harry's hand wrapped around it. However, the sight of the red marks on your arm make your eyes water again, the memory from what just happened resurfacing. The sickening fear of not knowing how the fuck to get out of that situation is as overwhelming as it was just before, even though you are safe now. You hate that a man made you feel so weak.
You can't help the tears from flowing, so you just let them as you silently recall the events of tonight. Your thoughts are cut in on when Harry removes his bruised hand from your thigh and cups it around your jaw. He leans forward, green eyes all sympathetic.
"It's okay, you're okay. He won't hurt you anymore, or ever again." He whispers. You shut your eyes, your silent tears now breaking into soft sobs. There is no choice but to let the sadness flow, and relish in the comfort of Harry's fingers wiping away your tears as you cry out the stress you had been feeling, and give it a place.
You feel it getting lighter with every cry. Each tear that Harry catches is a bit of weight off your shoulders. For some reason he chooses to sit there and offer you a space to store your pain. And even though normally you would never allow yourself, tonight you make use of that space.
*****************************************
A few weeks had gone by, and Harry had taken it upon himself to become your new watch dog. After what happened, he refused to let you go outside by yourself.
The morning after the incident, you got up and went to work like normal. But when you opened your apartment door, you ran into Harry, who had also been planning on going outside. He walked you to your car, and watched as you drove away. That night, when you returned from work, you ran into him again in the hallway downstairs, and walked to your apartments together.
After about three nights of these exact same situations, you could confirm for yourself that Harry was waiting to escort you anywhere.
You thought confronting him about your knowledge of his schemes would put an end to the overprotectiveness, but you were proven wrong. Instead of toning down his behavior, he amped it up. There wasn't a trip to the supermarket that you made by yourself anymore. And anytime you tried to say something about his following you everywhere, he would make up a silly excuse that left you speechless with flushed cheeks and a stupid grin on your face. You gave up fighting it not long after that, mainly because you enjoy his company so much.
Being so close to Harry all the time did make you realize how much distance everyone else kept from him. You didn't miss how people avoided his gaze, or how certain cashiers stumbled over their words as you paid for your groceries. It had you wondering; just how scary was Harry?
Harry had really taken it upon himself to protect you. It kind of went automatically, if he had to be honest. He simply couldn't watch you walk around the neighborhood so defenseless. What happened to you had enraged him so much, he didn't want a repetition of it.
Of course, an exact repetition was not an option anymore since he had beaten up the guy who assaulted you to the point where he was hospitalized. Harry couldn't find it in himself to feel even the slightest of remorse. Well, maybe only for the fact that he didn't kill him right then and there. He would have, had he not been too worried about you being alone upstairs.
Soon enough, word had traveled about your association with Harry, and it resulted into people being afraid of you. You were so incredibly confused about the shaky voices of people you'd ask for help in stores. You had never imagined yourself to have such an intimidating aura.
Since Harry had taken it upon himself to watch you, you had taken it upon yourself to feed him. It was the least you could do, and it gave you a reason to keep him around longer at night.
Part of you was aware that wanting to get closer to Harry might not be the best idea, especially considering the collectively instilled fear that lingered everywhere he would go. But he was so sweet to you, and you were sure that there was an explanation.
So, tonight during dinner, you had decided you would ask him about it.
Harry was delighted when you asked him if he wanted to stay and eat, and didn't hesitate to say yes. Now as he leans against the counter, watching you cook the pasta you promised to prepare, you have to actively control your breathing. His intense stare has a way of turning your legs into jelly and fogging up your mind.
"How was your day?" You ask him as casually as you can. Harry doesn't tear his eyes off of you, grinning at the way he is making you squirm.
"Good, love."
You swallow at the new nickname he suddenly conjured up. The low baritone of his voice combined with his green eyes on yours has your heartbeat getting out of control. You hear the breathy chuckle leaving Harry's mouth, and it makes your stomach turn. He knows exactly what he is doing.
"So, uhm... I have a question." You say, focusing extra hard on stirring the boiling pasta. He hums, indirectly telling you to ask away. You turn down the pitch on which your pasta stands, and turn to face him. For the first second that you meet his eyes, you were forget what you were even going to ask him, but you quickly regain your senses.
"Why is everyone here so afraid of you?" You tilt your head, really observing Harry. Sure, he is tall, with a broad and muscled figure. He always wears dark clothes and his green eyes will never look away first. But to truly be terrified of this man? You couldn't imagine why.
Harry doesn't say anything. He pushes himself away from the counter and walks towards you, slowly towering over your smaller frame. He leans forward, his face closer to yours than it has ever been before, and it gives you ideas that you probably shouldn't have.
"Do I scare you?"
Silently, you shake your head. Harry's eyes slowly travel down your face, fixating on your mouth for the longest five seconds you have ever experienced, and then shoot back up to meet yours again. "Then why do you care so much about what others think?"
"I don't." You respond embarrassingly fast, overwhelmed with a need to get his approval.
"Well, there you have your answer."
With that, he turns around to the counter and grabs the glass of white wine you poured for him. Taking it between his hands as if it were a cocktail glass, you watch entranced as he takes a sip. Your gaze falls onto his hands. You feel sinful for the thoughts that occupy your mind, but they fly out the window when you spot how bruised his knuckles are. And you realize...
"No, I don't." You say sternly. Harry looks at you, amused by your protest. "I don't know anything about you, Harry."
Harry laughs, but itâs a bitter laugh, accompanied by his hand running through his hair and his head shaking as if he canât believe what he is dealing with. A part of you wants to get on your knees and beg him to forgive you for being suspicious of who he truly is, but you refrain from doing it.
âPeople fear what they donât know, Y/N.â He says, his eyes finding yours. Your heart starts beating faster, aware of the fact that his eyes are going to keep being trained on yours without even so much as faltering.
âI donât give a fuck about what those people think of me, they donât know me. You do. So why is their judgment relevant? Iâm here, arenât I? Standing in front of you, letting you know me. Is that not enough?â
You feel a pang of guilt in your stomach at his words, and the authenticity of them. You let out a sigh, breaking eye contact to look down at the floor, contemplating what heâs saying. Maybe he is right.
âSorry.â You say so softly it could almost be classified as a whisper. The feeling of Harryâs fingers pushing your chin up makes your eyes meet his, and you notice the hint of a smile he wears.
âGo sit.â
Slightly confused, you follow his order, looking back at him to see him finishing up the pasta and making a bowl for the both of you.
âIâm 29.â He states, his back still to you. Your mouth breaks into a smile, and you prop your elbow on the couch, leaning your chin into the palm of your hand as you observe him.
âReally?â You are grinning like a proper idiot now. Harry nods.
âI donât have any siblings, but we did have a dog, and we rescued a stray kitten that was sleeping in our garden.â He goes on, turning around and walking over to the couch with the bowls of pasta. He sits down and hands you one.
âWhat are their names?â You ask.
âDog is called Pepper. Mum let me name the cat, so I named her Hades.â He explains, making you a giggle.
âYou named your girl cat Hades?â
âPersephone is such a mouthful. Plus, I was like ten, and had this big obsession with Hades.â He shrugs, taking a bite of the pasta. Your eyes widen, and you begin to laugh even harder.
âYou mean to tell me that little ten year old Harry was obsessed with the Greek God of the underworld, the God of death⊠Are you okay?â
Harry shrugs. âHeâs just doing his job.â
You cover your face with your hands, beyond amused by his nonchalance. You donât see it, but Harry might take more joy out of the situation than you. His eyes sparkle with adoration as he watches you laugh, and he wishes he knew how to control time just to stay in this moment forever. There is something so extraordinary about your happiness being caused by him. He is fascinated with how much he wishes he could do it every day for the rest of his life.
He didnât know whether opening up about himself was the smartest ideas, but he would give you his social security number if it made you laugh like that.
You take your hands off your face and look at him, the sudden urge to kiss him being almost unbearable. Almost. You sigh, not knowing how to express these feelings you have towards him, so instead you opt for a simple comment.
âIâm so glad youâre my neighbor.â
Harry smirks. âIâm glad youâre my neighbor too.â

You wanna keep arguing now?
Dean Winchester oneshot Summary: Reader and Charlie go on a hunt by themselves and it goes wrong. Now you're stuck in a motel with a pissed of Dean Winchester. Pairing: Dean x f!reader, implied Sam x f!reader (platonic) Warrning(s): NSFW, minors dni!, smut, angst, mentions of death, arguing, english is not my first language and I didn't write for awhile but my spn obsession is back and I felt the need.
âWhat the hell were you thinking?!â
He was furious with you, you knew that. But after two weeks of being cooped up in the bunker you were starting to go crazy. So, when Charlie called to ask for your help on a vampire case you did not think twice about it. You werenât exactly a full-fledged hunter per se, but youâve had some experience in the past couple of years. Youâve helped the boys fight demons, angels, even leviathans, so you believed you could handle yourself against some punk-ass vamps. Not to mention, Charlie was a friend, and you were bored out of your mind.
You left a note for Sam, took one of the cars from the bunker (well, borrowed) and drove off to meet with Charlie. What you did not expect was the case going downhill as quickly as it did. The vamps captured you, fed on you and were trying to decide weather to turn you or kill you, when he came barging in. He took the entire nest out in less than five minutes and set you free. Charlie broke her leg so he dropped her off in a hospital and was currently driving you back to the bunker.
You were grateful to him for saving you, of course, but you knew that he was fuming. He was driving for an hour without saying a word to you and you could sense the anger coming off of him. He didnât even turn the music on so you sat there uncomfortably in complete silence, only accompanied by the sound of the car engine.
âDeanâŠâ, you tried to begin a sentence, but he quickly cut you off.
âShut the hell up! I donât wanna hear it!â
You took a deep breath. You tried to keep your cool because you knew you were in the wrong here, but the way he spoke to you started to make you angry.
âDean, I know I shouldnât have left, but you and Sam were working your own case and Charlie needed helpâŠâ
âIf Charlie needs help, she can always call me! Or Sam! Or Cas! What the hell were you thinking?! Just leaving the bunker like that?! No note, no anythingâŠâ
âI left a note!â you protested.
âWell, I didnât get it!â
âI left it on Samâs tableâŠâ
âOh, I see! Thatâs nice! So now you and Sam are keeping stuff from me? Thatâs greatâŠâ
You rolled your eyes. He was so dramatic.
âItâs not like thatâŠâ
âNo, no, no, you know what? Thatâs fine! You and Sammy have something going on, I donât give a crap, but the next time your ass needs saving donât call me!â
âWell, Iâm not the one who called you, Charlie didâ, you said calmly.
 He shot you a dirty look and stepped on the gas pedal.
âJesus Christ, man, slow down!â, you gasped.
âOh, so you can walk into a vampireâs nest all by yourself, but my driving is too much for you?â
He did slow down though. You spent the next thirty minutes driving in silence and then he pulled over in front of a motel.
âCome onâ, he said and opened your car door for you.
âWeâre stopping here?â
âItâs a five-hour drive to the bunker and youâre still bleedingâ.
âIâm not bleedingâŠâ
âJust get out of the car!â
You let out an annoyed sigh, but you listened to him. Truthfully, you were feeling a little dizzy. He booked a room for the two of you and practically carried you inside. He placed you on the bed, took out the first-aid kit from his car and started patching you up in silence.
You could tell by the look on his face that he was still angry, but his hands were gentle and careful. You were trying to think of something to say, something that would make things better, but nothing came to mind. You just observed him. His jaw was clenched and his eyes gloomy, but there was something else in them. Like a trace of⊠fear? Maybe.
You werenât unaccustomed to Dean being mad at you and it was so easy to forget why he was that way. He cared. He cared more than anyone youâve ever met. As much as you bickered, you knew he loved you in a way, and that he was simply scared to lose you.
âDeanâŠâ, you tried again, âIâm sorryâ.
He didnât answer. He didnât even look at you. He just clenched his jaw harder. You took that as a sign he might actually let you speak now, so you kept going.
âI know I shouldnât have left like that, and I know I screwed up. I thought I could help, you know? Charlie needed backup and you and Sam were busy⊠I just thought I shouldnât let her go on a hunt by herself. Iâm sure you wouldnât have wanted that either. I was just trying to do the right thing⊠Like you wouldâve!â.
His eyes finally met yours. He wasnât that angry anymore, but he was annoyed at your words.
âYou are not me!â, he finally said.
Ouch.
Whatâs that supposed to mean?
âWell, maybe so, but any backup is better than no back up!â, you defended yourself, âAnd if it werenât for me, Charlie wouldâve gotten a lot worse than a broken leg!â
At your surprise, he chuckled. Now you were the one who was starting to get angry.
âDonât laugh at me!â, you said firmly, âYou are looking at me like Iâm some kind of idiot! Or an amateur! I know I may not have been raised a hunter like you and Sam, but Iâve been through a lot worse than what happened today! I fought by your side against Lucifer and Lilith and Eve and Dick frigginâ Roman! Iâve saved your ass personally multiple times! Iâve been dead! Iâve been to hell! Iâm not some stupid civilian, Dean! After everything that happened, Iâm⊠Iâm a hunter! Weather you like it or not! Weather I like it or not! I might not be your calibre of a hunter butâŠâ
âWoah, woah, slow down, hunter!â, he raised his hands defensively, âThatâs not what I meant!â
You blinked in a surprise.
âThen what exactly did you mean?â, you asked, still frustrated at his tone.
He let out a silent groan.
âListen, I know you are good at the job. I know you are tough and can handle yourself. Even though today was a bustâ, he added in accusatory tone.
You opened your mouth to say something, but he quickly interrupted you.
âBut when I say you are not meâŠâ, he shook his head, searching for the right words. He closed his eyes for a second, trying to collect himself and finally spoke again, in a calmer tone.
âListen, I screw up too! Hell, Iâve screwed up more times than I can count! And youâre right, youâve saved my ass a lot! So have Sam and dad and Bobby⊠but if something happens to me, then thatâs on me! Thatâs my own frigginâ fault! But itâs my job to protect you! And if something happens to you⊠I just couldnât live with that!â
You listened to him in silence, trying to figure out what exactly he was saying to you. A part of you understood. The guilt, the responsibility he was feeling. You wanted to help him. To help him with that weight he was carrying. To tell him everything is ok and that you understand. But all that came out of your mouth was:
âItâs not your job to protect me, Deanâ.
He flinched. Something twinkled in his green eyes and his voice turned cold again.
âI get it, Iâm sure you would much rather have Sammy watching over you but Iâm afraid Iâm all you can get right now!â.
You raised your eyebrows in a surprise.
âWhat?â, it was all you were able to say.
âListen, I know you two have something going on and the last thing I want is to get in the way of that, sweetheartâ. Â
You shook your head, and a small smile appeared on your lips before you could stop it.
Is that what this was? This entire tantrum? Was Dean Winchester⊠jealous?
âI honestly donât know what youâre talking aboutâ, you said sincerely.
âSureâ, he replied.
âDean⊠Sam and I⊠weâre friends, thatâs all! I mean I love him, heâs like a brother to me. Like a big, nerdy, dorky brother Iâve always wanted! And Iâd do anything for him, just like you would. But⊠I could never be with him!â, you made a grimace and laughed.
âYeah, okayâ, he said.
âWhy donât you believe me?â, you laughed out loud this time. You just couldnât stop it. This entire conversation was so bizarre.
âBecause Iâm not blind. Heâs the one you always turn to when you need something, heâs the one you always call, text, talk to⊠hell, you left him a note today, didnât you?â.
âWell, yesâŠâ
âLike I said, I get it! Iâm not trying to be a dick!â, he said, âItâs fine by me if you have a thing for each other, Iâm glad even⊠you both deserve to be happy! All Iâm saying is, it would be nice to get a heads up when youâre about to do something stupid, especially if Iâm the one whoâs gonna end up having to save you!â.
âDean Winchester, I promise you Iâm not trying to screw your brother!â, you yelled out,
âThe reason I left him a note and not you is because I knew you were going to act like this! You would tell me to turn my ass around and come back home and if I didnât you would come to get me, just like you did! And THEN you would yell at me just like you did! Iâm not picking favourites, itâs just that Sam is easier to deal with sometimes, thatâs all!â
âOh, so Iâm difficult to deal with, is that it?â
âHell yes, you are!â
âSo why do you keep dealing with me?â
âOh, youâre such a damn idiot!â, you stood up from the bed in exasperation.
It was a mistake. The blood rushed to your brain, and you swerved on your feet. He jumped up and grabbed your shoulders with jungle cat-like reflexes. The look on his face went from irritated to worried in a matter of a second. It made you want to chuckle, but you held it in.
Goddamn, did you love this man.
âIâm fine, Iâm fineâ, you said quickly.
His eyes and voice both softened as he tried to get you back on the bed,
âMaybe you should get some rest. We can keep arguing in the morningâ.
You rolled your eyes at him.
âWhy do you want to keep arguing with me?â
âTrust me, sweetheart, thatâs the last thing I want to do with youâ.
Your heart stopped for a second. Your eyes widened and you looked at him in shock.
âExcuse you?â
He let out another sigh and tried to sit you down once again.
âNothing, just go to sleepâ.
âNo, no, no, I donât think soâ, you said, shaking your head and turning around to face him, âWhat was that supposed to mean?â
âNothing, Iâm just saying crap. Donât pay attention to itâ.
But you wouldnât let go. Itâs been months since you first started noticing the change in Deanâs behaviour towards you. When you first met, he annoyed you so much and as far as you could tell, the feeling was mutual. You really were closer with Sam for a long time and the only reason you tolerated Dean was because he was his brother. And because well, he did save your life a couple of times. But then you died and came back and Dean, well⊠changed. You thought it was because of the guilt he felt over your death. Metatron did kill you because of your involvement with the Winchesters.
But it wasnât just the guilt. You two started going on hunts together, he trusted you, he talked to you and looked at you like heâs never done before. You started suspecting he might have developed feelings for you that were more than just friendship, but there wasnât an opportunity to bring it up. And you wanted to bring it up. You wanted to bring it up so badly.
âNo!â, you protested and looked directly into his eyes, âWhat did you mean? What do you want to do with me?â, you asked, almost teasingly, but with a genuine desire to receive an answer.
He noticed the change in your tone and his eyes twinkled. His hands were still gently resting on your shoulders, making sure you donât swerve again. He raised one of them and slowly brought his fingers up to caress your cheek. His touch was soft and warm, but it made a shiver go down your spine as if you were touched by lightning. You raised up your hand and gently placed it on his in affirmation. A small smile escaped both of your lipsâ.
You were still glaring into his eyes, waiting for him. Finally, his hand cupped your cheek and he brought his face to yours, slowly pressing his lips against yours.
The kiss was deep and gentle and warm, and it left you feeling breathless. You pulled him closer to you, running your fingers through his hair. He responded in the same way, sliding his hands down your waist and grabbing your thighs to lift you off the ground. You locked your legs around him as he carried you over to the table that was placed in the middle of the room.
He placed you on the table as his hands began exploring every inch of your body, his lips never leaving yours. Before you could even form a coherent thought, his hands were all up in your hair, over your chest, your thighs⊠In the moment they reached between your legs you let out a soft moan and arched your back, leaving your neck so beautifully exposed to him. He took advantage of that and moved his lips down to your collarbone, gently kissing and sucking on it. You pulled him even closer and moaned again. His scent was everywhere. He was everywhere. And it wasnât enough.
You started to unbutton your plaid shirt but his fingers were quicker than yours.
You smiled at his impatience.
âItâs okay, the buttons wonât run awayâ, you said.
âI wish they wouldâ, he muttered, making you laugh joyfully.
He smiled and kissed you again, unbuttoning your shirt completely and taking it off you in one fell swoop.
You tried to unbutton his now, but he was already out of it before you could even try.
âGodâ, you teased him, âYouâre so impatient!â
âYou have no ideaâ, he groaned, lifting you up again and crashing you both onto the bed.
He was placing hungry kisses all over your chest and stomach. His fingers then reached down to unbutton your jeans and you shivered in excitement as he slowly pulled them off you.
âOpen your legs for me, sweetheartâ, he said in a low tone, his eyes looking up to you as they were glistening with excitement and desire.
You bit your lip as you felt another shiver go down your spine.
âOpen themâ, he repeated.
You did what he asked, slowly spreading your legs as you felt the wetness and the pulsating sensation coming from between.
He gently moved the fabric of your underwear to a side, exposing you to him. His hungry eyes met yours once again as he gave you a soft kiss right between your thighs. You arched your back slightly and grabbed him by the hair, pulling him closer as he kissed and licked and sucked.
âThese are getting in the wayâ, he said quietly and finally took off your panties.
You couldnât help yourself and another moan left your lips, much louder this time. This encouraged him to go faster as you were becoming a moaning mess underneath his tongue. The pressure started building and building and building⊠and then he suddenly pulled away.
You widened your eyes in shock, desperate to pull him back down, but he pulled you up instead.
âIâm not done with you yetâ, he said quietly as his breath tickled your ear.
You groaned in frustration.
âNow whoâs impatient?â, he asked with a teasing smile.
âGod, youâre so mean!â, you said.
âWeâll see about thatâ, he said as he reached down between your legs again and started rubbing your clit. He then slowly pushed one finger inside of you, stretching you out and earning another moan from you.
âOh, Godâ, you whispered.
âYou like that?â, he asked and added another finger.
You moaned again in response.
âAm I still mean?â
âYes, you are!â, you responded.
He pushed you back on the bed while placing himself on top of you. He unbuckled his belt and unzipped his jeans. You reached out and gently cupped the growing bulge in his boxers making him groan quietly. You gasped in excitement. He was so hard.
He noticed your reaction and smiled.
âYou see how hard I am for you?â
You bit your lip and nodded. Then you slowly pulled down his boxers and took him into your hands.
Youâve imagined him like this countless times, but you were still pleasantly surprised to see how big he was. You gripped him firmly and began to stroke his shaft as he groaned again.
You licked the tip and then put the rest of his length into your mouth, gently sucking on it. He moaned and tangled his fingers in your hair, pulling you closer.
You sucked harder causing him to cuss and moan again. You loved the sound of it. Your fingers found their way between your legs, and you began touching yourself as you sucked him off.
He seemed to like that even more and by the sounds he was making you could tell he was close.
âYouâre going to need to slow down, sweetheartâ, he said in a hoarse voice, âOr Iâm going to cum without even being inside you firstâ.
You sucked on him a couple more times but then you let go. He pulled you up to kiss you, but you just pushed him down to the bed and climbed on top of him. His eyes widened in excitement as you guided his length to your entrance and slowly began to ride him.
You loved seeing him like this, messy and desperate for your touch. He gripped your thighs and moaned your name, his eyes staring deep into yours, begging you to fuck him harder.
You gave him what he wished for and began moving your hips faster and faster as you both cussed and groaned.
âYes, yesâ, he was whispering between the moans, âThatâs it, ride me baby, please!â.
You were so close, and by the looks of it, so was he. You gripped each other closer as the pressure was building once again. You pulled his face close to your chest as he was about to come and finally, reached the so very anticipated release.
You held each other like that for a couple of minutes, trying to catch your breaths and then you finally laid back in the bed.
He pulled you close to him as you buried your face into his neck, just breathing in his scent. You were laying like that in silence for a little while, not really knowing what to say. Not really needing to say anything. Until he finally started chuckling like a little kid.
âWhat?â, you raised your eyes to him. âWell, do you wanna keep arguing now?â, he asked with a grin. You laughed too. âOh, definitely! Just let me get some water firstâ.

"Well, that's just undignified," says a familiar voice to the little girl she's been watching run the gamut of making Park Friends for the last three minutes. She runs straight into his legs and raises her arms, and it looks automatic, the way he swings her up and wipes at her face with a wet wipe he just whipped out of a back pocket. "How is anyone gonna recognize you the next time we come to this park?"
(Abby had watched her reach down and streak a solid line of mud down both cheeks a minute and a half ago and just been thankful that she'd missed those years, with Sam's kids.)
He's the same. He's - entirely different.
The smile on his face reaches his eyes in a way she's never seen, and some of the lines around his mouth are deeper. He holds himself differently and she can't pinpoint exactly what it is. He looks settled in his skin.
Of all the parks in all of LA, she thinks to herself, and then she remembers their friend Gertie telling her about the house Tommy had bought that most of them had assumed was a cry for help. A real fixer-upper, she'd said, an ironic lilt to her voice, a wry half smile because she'd gotten Abby in the divorce. As it were.
(Hadn't stopped her from gossiping like a bored housewife about Abby and Buck, eighteen months later, but at least she'd been able to spot Gertie's handiwork when she'd fielded no less than nine concerned texts about her himbo.)
It's a beautiful day. A little breezy, but the sun is warm, the sky is free of clouds.
It feels a little ridiculous that she's here to catch up with one ex only to encounter the one who'd sent her straight into his arms. It had made sense at the time. She'd given herself the time to get over a man who could never have loved her the way either of them wanted to, and then latched on to the first boyishly handsome one she could find. She'd never meant to care for Buck, in the end. It'd happened, because he was easy to love, but -
She'd just never meant to.
Sam's gonna laugh at her so long she's gonna smother him with a hotel pillow.
She sees him first, long legs clambering out of a newer model Jeep, the bronze in his hair catching in a way she doesn't remember. It takes her a second to realize he'd always just kept his hair too short for the curls to be this pronounced.
Abby's a married woman. She loves Sam dearly. She's also well aware that there's no harm in looking, sometimes, and she's certainly looking now. He'd looked more bulky the last time she'd seen him, filling out his shirt in a way that Abby knew he had to be proud of, as insane as his workouts were, as weird as his diet trends always seemed. This is different. More. His shoulders are insane. The long legs actually look almost proportional with his thighs so thick. She can see a newer tattoo peeking out from under the shirt he wears. The style's changed too, she notes empirically - a tee-shirt that's not actually tearing at the seams to contain him, a flannel he's shrugging out of to tie around his waist.
He glances up and catches her eye and the smile that stretches across his face is friendly, unbothered. Still beautiful enough to turn a few heads in her direction when he holds up a hand to wave.
"Daddy!" screams the girl, now sans mud, and Abby watches in confusion as she books it across the cork path of the playground, beelining it towards Buck.
Buck holds a hand out at groin height and grunts when all her weight catches him at the knees.
The rest of the picture pieces together slowly, while Abby attempts to keep her jaw from falling open. Tommy ambles after the girl, casual, smiling, and when he gets there he dips a hand into the riot of curls atop her head, ruffling. He slides a hand to Buck's waist, casual, comfortable, the same way Sam taps at her hip when he wants a kiss. Buck's hand lifts briefly to Tommy's elbow before he bends to greet the girl, and even though they're farther away now it's obvious she's giving him a full rundown of what he's missed.
When Buck can get a word in edgewise, he tips his head towards Abby, and the girl spins on her heel and practically marches over to the bench in the shade Abby has chosen.
Buck and Tommy follow after her as a unit.
"Hi!" She's all Buck. Fat cheeks and gangly limbs and sky blue eyes, enthusiasm leaking out of every pore. "I'm Mary!"
Tommy's grandmothers name. She'd never had a full picture why she was the only member of his family Tommy spoke of fondly - not til the end, anyway.
She's desperate to know why the hell Buck hadn't said something to her about this in advance, but - no, it's too crazy to just take on faith. She'd have needed to see it.
They have matching rings on their left hands.
Abby is suddenly sorry she deactivated her Facebook years ago.
She hasn't spoken to Gertie in three years. She's absolutely going to eat this up.
Abby reaches out to shake Mary's already extended hand. It's a firm shake - up, down, squeeze and drop, something she remembers from the time Tommy had helped her prep for job interviews and become exasperated by her limp noodle arms.
Buck and Tommy loom over her. They don't mean to. Both of them have a good way of putting people at ease about their size pretty quickly, and it happens now, again, as Tommy shifts his weight and Buck leans down and in to drop a hand to his daughter's shoulder. Tommy and Buck, she thinks to herself. Buck and Tommy.
It's not hard to square, if she really takes a moment. They were both desperately lonely people, when she knew them, but so so full of love. Too full, even when one of them hadn't even been attracted to her. It's leaking out of them even now, as Tommy gives her a wry smile and Buck rubs a hand behind his neck.
It takes Abby a second to clock it as a Tommy gesture. "Hi," she says in greeting, and then dissolves into laughter a second later.
Mary joins in even though there's no way she understands why.
"The ambush was Evan's idea," Tommy intones, the smile still warm and uncareful around the edges of his eyes, when Abby finally gets herself under control. Mary has already returned to treating Tommy like a jungle gym. Abby quirks a brow at the name, shoots a look at Buck. He smiles back bashfully, blissfully unaware of the way he blooms under Tommy's gaze
"I didn't think you'd believe me."
Mary's knee knocks uncomfortably close to Tommy's groin as he swings her back and forth on one massive arm, and he barely blinks, though he does shift his weight again to limit the possibility of another limb taking him out. Abby stands. Hands out hugs. Despite how rambunctious she is with Tommy, Mary is careful to keep herself in check while Abby is in the direct path of her limbs.
"It's easier to believe than you might think," she tells Buck, and wonders if Gertie would be more or less inclined to forgive Tommy knowing that he and Abby have essentially the same type.
"You wanna grab a drink?" Buck asks after a moment, hand reaching casually for Tommy's hip. "There's a spot around the corner that makes a mean oolong. That's your drink, right?"
God. He really hasn't changed a bit. Memory for useless but meaningful detail, an open heart, that overeager tilt to his smile. Tommy's got a yapping kid half hanging off his belt loop and he still has the fortitude to send a glance at Buck like he's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen.
If she's gonna reach out to Gertie, she'll need to be prepared for the Spanish Inquisition. This is a full interrogation piece of gossip.
"I'd love that," she says, and Buck's grin splits at the seams while Mary and Tommy have a friendly if heated back and forth about what sort of drink Mary is allowed.

You got me worried
pairing: Max Verstappen x reader
summary: You get into a car accident when you're on the phone with Max, who immediately leaves to see you. Charles finds out what's wrong and offers to go with him. Those few days in the hospital change a few of his personal relationships.
warning: accident, serious injuries. (no death.)
note: My Lestappen heart wanted me to write this.
word count: almost 5.3k
âYouâre stalling,â you said on the other end of the line, and Max could tell you had that adorable smirk on your face that he loved so much.
But he wasnât stalling, at least not intentionally. He wanted to answer your question, but he honestly didnât know what to say, so he decided to take his time to figure out what to tell you. Your mother wasnât very fond of him, she believed that you made a mistake by dating someone whose job was so dangerous, and she always had this bad feeling about him. When he asked you what it meant, you just shrugged as said not to look for logic in this. So he put his own bad feelings aside and played nice every time they were together somewhere.Â
And now? Now you wanted to take her on a trip to New Zealand and asked him to tag along if he didnât have anything else to do. Well, it was clearly a trap. One, he had no official obligations around New Yearâs Eve which you knew perfectly well, and two, he wanted to enter the new year on your side, he wanted to kiss you at midnight, so he had no choice but to follow wherever you were heading.Â
Letting out a sigh as he leaned back on his bed in the driverâs room, Max decided to yield, something he was only willing to do because of you. âFine, Iâll go with you,â he told you, trying to keep his annoyance out of his voice. âBut why donât we invite a friend of hers? This way she would be entertained while we spend some time alone. Come on, you owe me this much.â
It was your turn to remain silent, but it only lasted for a few seconds. âI mean, sheâs dating this guy nowââ
âSomeoneâs willing to date her?â Shit, this sentence wasnât meant to slip out. Clearing his throat, he pinched the bridge of his nose and went, âSorry, I mean, she didnât seem like she was ready to date just yet.â
âI get what you mean. I donât know much about him, maybe this could be the perfect chance to get to know him a little better. And youâre right, he could keep her company while weâre having fun on our own,â you said with a laugh.Â
Despite the idea being presented for the first time a few minutes ago, Max was already thinking about this trip as the perfect chance to put his plan into motion. Because heâd been planning to take your relationship to the next level, to start a family with you. And what would be better than a proposal in another country and maybe his not so secret attempt to get you pregnant? It would be great, he knew you would be happy.Â
But before he could say anything, he heard scream and a loud noise, one that sounded eerily like cars crashing and glass breaking. âWhat happened?â There was no answer, and he couldnât help but sit up with his heart ready to jump out of his ribcage. âBaby, please, say something,â he begged, but there was still no response.Â
Then he heard people buzzing in the background, talking loudly, screaming for help, telling someone to call the emergency number. One person who was probably close to your car told someone you werenât moving, but they also said they couldnât tell if you were dead. Dead. He wanted to shout, he wanted to cry, he felt like throwing up, but somehow he managed to keep his cool. Panicking wouldnât solve anything, he had to listen for now. But your carâs multimedia system gave in and ended the call, leaving him there with his fears and thoughts.Â
Max tried to call you, but no one answered, so he quickly made a few calls to ensure his jet was available the moment he got to the airport. Because the race was over, he only had one or two interviews left, but he couldnât care less about those. After throwing his things into his backpack, he hurriedly left his room and looked for the press officer to tell her he was leaving right now. She tried to ask him what was wrong, but he just shook his head and waved goodbye, his eyes fixed on the screen as he typed in the address where your phone was at this moment.Â
He found a few posts about a crash there, and one of them had a photo as well. It was your car, he knew that right away, but the sight made his heart clench. The other car t-boned yours on the left side, right where you were sitting, which made him afraid there was no way you could survive that crash. But then he found a post about the drivers being taken to the hospital, so maybe it wasnât so bad, maybe it was just looking bad.Â
Suddenly he bumped into someone, which finally made him look up from the screen of his phone. âSorry,â he said automatically.Â
Charles gave him an unimpressed look, motioning towards his phone. âWhatâs so interesting?â
âAn accident,â he replied, having no idea why he answered the question instead of just leaving him there. This caught the other driverâs interest, because he quickly said goodbye to the person heâd been talking to and moved to his side to look at the screen of the device. âThatâs my girlfriendâs car on the right.â
âThis looks bad. How is she?â he asked, sounding genuinely worried despite only meeting you once.Â
Max gulped and shrugged. âI donât know. IâI was on the phone with her, then I heard a loud crash and a scream. The call ended and no oneâs picking up her phone. I donât know whatâs going on, so Iâll just pack my suitcases and head to the airport to get home as soon as possible,â he said without stopping to take a breath.Â
Yes, he was panicking, he was losing his cool, but that was the least of his problems right now. All he could think about was the worst case scenario, the possibility of the doctor not being able to save your life. What would he do then? How could he move on from losing you? How could he live his life without hearing your scream all the time? It was all too much, especially after a frustrating race like the one today.
He was pulled out of his thoughts when Charles put a hand on his shoulder and looked into his eyes with a serious expression on his face. âOkay, take a deep breath. Are you sure you can drive like this?â For the very first time, he actually considered what he was planning to do, and after a few seconds of thinking, he came to the conclusion that he was definitely not in the right state of mind to drive, so he shook his head. âAll right,â the Monegasque began slowly, looking over his shoulder for a moment, âweâll find someone who can take care of your car, then Iâll give you a ride to the airport. How does that sound?â
It was a long day, Charles had to fight his own battles during the race, mostly with his own team, but there he was, offering to chauffeur him around so he would stay safe. A small, thankful smile crept on his lips as he nodded eventually. Maybe this was for the best, the last thing he wanted was doing something stupid because he was distracted by his fears.Â
âOkay. You should get someone to pick you up when you get to Monaco, you shouldnât drive there either,â Charles told him as they headed back to the Red Bull motorhome.
A desperate laugh left him at this. âWell, she wasnât there, she was visiting her family, so sheâs in a country where the only ones I know are her relatives, and theyâre in the hospital with her. But Iâll call a taxi, itâs not a problem,â he explained with a sigh.Â
A thoughtful hum from Charles caught his attention as he looked over at him. âWell, in this case Iâll have to drive you around there too,â the other man declared with a kind smile. When Max opened his mouth to tell him it was unnecessary, he just raised his hand to stop him. âI donât take no for an answer. Sheâs nice. Hell, itâs easy to tell she has a good influence on you. Now I want to make sure sheâs okay too.â
Max could hardly wrap his head around why he offered to help. He surely had better things to do than traveling to a country other than his home, meeting strangers who were the closest to someone he only met once, and providing emotional support to someone heâd been battling with since they were kids. This was beyond him, but he was too afraid to ask for the reason. A little voice in the back of his mind said he was planning something, but then he looked into Charlesâs bright eyes and realized he was just being nice.Â
They were sitting in the car on the way to the airport when his phone began to ring, and the screen lit up with the name of your mother. Gulping, he swiped his finger and raised the device to his ear. âHi, Laura, do you know anything about her? Hoâhow is she?â he asked, eagerly waiting for the older womanâs reply.Â
âI guess you know about the accident then. Iâm at the hospital with her. Sheâs still in surgery and they said it will take a few more hours before they can take her to the ICU. Do you want to come here?â
Did she really ask him if he wanted to be there? After all that time they spent together, after everything they had gone through, she dared to ask him if he wanted to be by her side? Outrageous. âIâm already on my way to the airport, I just need to know which hospital sheâs in,â he replied, forcing himself to stay relatively calm. He didnât want a fight with her, not when they were both in a very fragile state of mind.Â
The woman on the other end of the line remained silent for a few seconds, then he heard muffled voices, which was followed by the sound of her clearing her throat. âIâll send you everything you need to know.â
âThank you. And if you hear anything, call me. Please.â
âOf course. See you later, Max.â
Once the call ended, he glanced down at his phone and waited until it buzzed again, the notification of a new message showing up. He had a location, although funnily enough, it was sent by your cousin, not your mother. It was a smaller miracle that she called him herself, a part of him expected her to make someone else do this. But at least her dislike for him became obvious once again.Â
Charles glanced over at him with a questioning look on his face. âHow is she?â he asked, the tone of his voice making it clear that he was walking on eggshells around him.
Max leaned his head against the seat and looked out the window. âStill in surgery, and she will probably be in there for another few hours. Even though she's probably in good hands, I'm not⊠It's hard to stay positive,â he admitted with a gulp.
âMaybe it will take a while, but she's gonna get better. You need to believe this, otherwise you'll go insane,â the other driver tried, his voice quiet, but confident.Â
He was trying to help, and he was right, but his mind was full of thoughts about the worst case scenarios. What if you end up in a coma you don't wake up from? What if there's serious brain damage? What if you can't live the same active life you used to? He knew you would be devastated, and it's not like he would leave you for that, he just didn't know how he could handle it emotionally.
So yeah, he was already going insane.Â
âWhy are you doing this?â Max asked, voicing the question that had been in the back of his mind for a while now.Â
Charles responded with a questioning hum, and despite the pair of sunglasses he wore, it was easy to tell he was watching him with a raised eyebrow. âWhy wouldn't I? Look, maybe we're not friends outside the track, but I can imagine how hard this situation must be for you. Just accept the help for once, okay?â
After taking a deep breath, Max nodded. âThank you.âÂ
The Monegasque had a smirk on his face when he returned his attention to the road. According to the sat nav, the airport was only five minutes away, so Max unlocked his phone and saw a message from Lando that told him to check Xâs trending topics. When he opened the app, he saw his name at the front, and the posts were about some anonymous source leaking information about you being in the hospital.Â
âFuck,â he muttered under his breath as he scrolled through the flood of posts.Â
âWhat?â
Looking over at him, Max let out an annoyed groan. âHer accident made it to social media. From what Iâve seen so far was based on a post from someone who either works at the hospital or is a first responder. And someone kept digging until they put the pieces together, so now thereâs a photo of the car wreck circling around,â he explained.Â
âItâs not that bad. Unless theyâre celebrating. Please, tell me theyâre not celebrating.â
Max shook his head. âNo, itâs not that, but whoever wrote the original post made it clear her life is hanging on a thread. So people are now getting ready for the worst case scenario.â
âHer not surviving this?â Charles guessed as he glanced over at him. When there was a quiet nod in response, he gulped and looked back at the road. âShe wonât die. Donât even think about it. Sheâs young and strong, and Iâm sure sheâs a fighter. Okay, weâre here.â
For the first time in a while Max looked up and noticed they had indeed arrived. After getting their suitcases, they got on the jet and sat down to wait for the takeoff. During the flight Charles tried to avert his thoughts by talking about the race and bringing up old memories from their carting days, and Max realized that he had absolutely no idea how he would say thank you for his help.Â
For years he assumed their long history of rivalry meant they could never be friends, and their conversations would be nothing but casual chats based on mutual respect. But now he was here, providing the kind of emotional support he so desperately needed.Â
Two hours later they entered the hospital building through a big crowd of paparazzi, reporters and fans, trying to navigate through the maze to find where your family was waiting. It took some time, but eventually they found them. Your cousin was the only one who jumped up and ran over to him, her arms sneaking around his body to pull him into a hug as she cried. The poor girl was only sixteen, and despite the age difference you two were the closest, as if you were siblings. His eyes fell on your mother, but she was simply staring ahead with a neutral look in her eyes.Â
Charles decided to sit down not far from them, sending a message to his girlfriend so she would know where he was, but Max knew he was paying attention. âAny news?â he asked Sophie, your cousin.
âYeah, sheâs in the ICU, just until they know sheâs really stable. She has a badly broken leg, a few broken ribs, one even punctured her lung, and⊠Yeah, severe concussion, and I think thereâs a fracture in her cheek.â
Max gulped as his fingers ran through his hair. âThatâs a lot,â he noted, earning a nod. âBut sheâs relatively okay, right?â
âYou can say that,â your mother suddenly spoke up, finally acknowledging him.Â
For a few moments they were just staring at each other, and Max was beginning to think she would start blaming him for the accident. Even if she didnât know about the call they were in at the time, she would sure as hell find a reason to put the blame on him. She always did, whenever you had a bad day, it was surely his fault, even when you werenât even in the same country.
But to his surprise, thatâs not what happened, because she suddenly walked over to him and pulled him into a tight hug. He didnât even know what to do at first, his eyes were moving back and forth between Sophie and Charles, but they both shrugged to tell him they had no clue what he should do. So he wrapped his arms around her too, soon hearing her crying into his shoulder.Â
âIâm glad youâre here, Max,â she said when she took a step back and looked up at him. âI had my doubts, but⊠Knowing you rushed here after finding out what happened means a lot to me.â
With a sad smile, he nodded. âWhere else would I be? IâI donât know if you knew, but I was on the phone with her when the accident happened. She told me about the trip to New Zealand youâre planning, she was trying to convince me to go with you, and⊠Would you mind if I tagged along?â he asked, as if he needed her permission.Â
But maybe he did. Maybe this hug was the olive branch heâd been hoping to receive one day, the least he could do was make sure she was okay with the plan. And maybe him going with you wasnât the only thing he should talk to her about, maybe he should mention the most obvious decision he had made during that call. When she said she wouldnât mind if she joined them, Max took a deep breath, then cleared his throat.Â
âThereâs something else. Iâm planning to propose on New Yearâs Eve. A few hours ago I thought your opinion was irrelevant and itâs her decision, but⊠now Iâd like to hear what you have to say. Would you be okay with it?â he asked hesitantly, nervously shifting his weight from one foot to another.
Your motherâs lips curled into a smile all of a sudden, then he reached out to take his hand in hers. âIâm sure that would make her really happy. And if sheâs happy, Iâm happy. You know what? My idiotic ex-husband used our family heirloom, a beautiful engagement ring, to propose. How about giving that to her?â
âAre you sure?â She nodded without hesitation. âThank you, that would be great.â
Since the doctor said they would tell them when they could go and see you, Max sat down next to Charles and waited there in silence. The other driver glanced up from his phone every now and then, but eventually he had enough of the silence and decided to pay full attention to him.Â
âYou okay?âÂ
He honestly didnât know the answer to this simple question. You were alive, your mother gave him her blessing, what else would he need? Still, he couldnât get himself to say yes. âI donât know,â he admitted quietly.Â
Charles nodded as he supportively patted his back. âIâm sure youâll be better once you see her,â he noted with a small smile. âYou heard her mother, the worst part is over, now all she needs is time to recover.â
And that was a problem he had to solve. He knew your mother would be more than happy to help you, he could hire a live-in nurse to take care of you, he could send you to the best rehabilitation facility in Europe, but nothing would make him feel good enough if he couldnât be there by your side. Because he still had half a season left, he was expected to travel around the world, away from you, and the thought was killing him.Â
âWithout me,â he eventually said, so quietly that he hoped Charles didnât catch it.
But he did, and he clearly understood what was bothering him. âI know itâs hard, but she will understand that you canât be by her side all the time. Once the seasonâs over, she wonât get rid of you,â he said with a laugh, nudging his side with his elbow. âCome on, letâs get some coffee. We could all use it.â
Max nodded, and as Charles took the orders, he asked Sophie if she would like to come help them. He knew she was a traitor who supported his rival, but she was young and nice, so he chalked it up to teenage stupidity for now. While they waited for the coffees, Charles and Sophie got lost in a conversation that was conveniently in French âso she could practice.â They seemed to get along, and he was glad your cousin had a reason to smile for a while.
This is why he spent this time checking his phone and found a bunch of messages from friends and family, all telling him that they were there if he needed help. Knowing so many people cared about them warmed his heart. It was mostly you, he knew that, your charming personality had everyone wrapped around your finger. This gave him the idea to send a message to his mother and sister, telling them he would propose the moment you were feeling well enough to make a decision.Â
A few hours later Charles said goodbye and promised to be back the next day, and soon your family left as well. Your mother wanted to stay, but Max promised to call her if there was anything to know. So he slept on the couch in the waiting room, ignoring the weird look some people gave him the whole evening. A nurse was nice enough to bring him a pillow that made it a bit more bearable, but he wished you could be transferred to a regular room where he could ask for a bed to sleep in next to you.Â
In the morning a doctor gently squeezed his shoulder to wake him up, and he groggily rubbed his eyes as he sat up. âMorning, Doctor,â he said, trying hard to fight back a yawn. âDid something happen?â
The man sat down next to him and turned to him with a small smile. âSheâs ready to be taken to a normal hospital room. You mentioned to our staff yesterday that you want her to be placed in the VIP section, preferably with an extra bed for you, so we took care of everything. I can walk you there if youâd like,â he offered.Â
âSure, sure, thank you. How is she?â
âA little better. Sheâs strong, sheâs breathing on her own, so Iâm confident sheâll pull through. Just be patient,â the doctor replied.Â
Once he was in the new room you were being taken to, he sent a text to everyone about your new location, then impatiently waited for your bed to be wheeled in. His foot was tapping fast on the linoleum floor, not stopping until the door opened and a young man stood there with a shocked look on his face. Max raised his hand to say hi, to which the poor man only reacted by going out to continue his work to get you inside.Â
A nurse walked in behind him with a kind smile on her lips, then moved her attention back to you as she got you settled in the room. He wanted to go there and take your hand, but he knew he had to wait. He would have time, there was no need to rush, they had to do their job first. You were hooked on machines, your body bandaged all over, and the sight brought tears to his eyes. If he didnât know you were through the worst part, he would assume you were still between life and death.Â
Soon everybody left and he sat on a chair next to your bed, gently taking your hand in his. He had no idea if you could hear him, but he talked to you nonetheless, telling you about him making peace with your mother, about Charles being here with him, about your whole family being here, and about how much he loved you. He even begged you to wake up, to come back to him.Â
âGood morning,â came Charlesâ voice about an hour later as he walked inside with two cups of coffee, from which he handed one over. âHere, I guess you could use it.â
With a thankful smile, Max took it, then leaned back in the chair and watched as the other man looked down at you with a sigh. âThe doctor said sheâll pull through, she just needs to rest,â he told him.
The fellow driver looked up with a smile. âSee? I told you.â He sat down on the edge of the other bed and took a sip of his coffee. âYour suitcase is in the back of the car. I didnât know which hotel you wanted to stay in,â he added.
âNeither. Iâm staying with her,â Max was quick to clarify.Â
âYeah, but you need to take a shower, you need to sleep.â
âThereâs a bathroom and youâre sitting on my bed. Iâll be fine.â
Charles followed his gaze and let out a tired groan. âShe wouldnât mind if you left for a few hours. Look, why donât you talk to her mother to take shifts by her side? Iâm sure she would understand that you need proper sleep,â he explained, trying to keep the annoyance out of his voice.Â
Silence followed his words, mostly because Max didnât feel like arguing about this. He was here to stay, by your side, right until he had no choice but to leave for the next race. âIf it was Alex, would you leave her side?â he eventually asked.Â
âNo,â came the response right away. âI probably wouldnât.â After sipping their drinks in silence, the Monegasque stood up at one point and threw his now empty cup into the trash can, and turned to him. âOkay, Iâll go get your suitcase so you can freshen up before her family arrives. And Laura is bringing us breakfast, so youâd better look presentable by the time she gets here.â
âLaura? Since when are you on first name terms with her?â
The other man laughed and shrugged. âSince I took the time to have a chat with her yesterday. All right, letâs get you cleaned up.â
For the next few days, this is how things went. Charles was always the first to arrive, then he left to get lunch, and stayed until four or five in the afternoon. Max had told him to go home, that he would be fine now, but he didnât care about this. He said he wanted to be there, at least until you finally woke up so he could tell you that almost dying just to get an emotional reaction out of your boyfriend was an overkill. And maybe he mentioned one day that Alex would stop talking to him for a few days if he left him alone, so he decided to be a good boy.Â
One night he was woken by a strange sound coming from you, as if you were trying to speak up. Ever since you were brought in, he became a light sleeper, so he immediately picked up on the change in the atmosphere of the room. He turned on the light above his bed and moved over to you, his hand falling on your face right away, thumb gently brushing your cheek.
âHey, baby,â he said as he leaned down to kiss your forehead. âIâm here. What do you need?â
Your eyes turned to him, immediately locking with his blue ones, as you registered that it was truly him. Your fingers squeezed his hand, the feeling of you being awake making him smile. âCan I⊠get some⊠water?â you asked hoarsely.Â
He immediately reached out for the glass and filled it from the bottle next to it. He helped to put the end of the straw in your mouth and held the glass for you. âIâm so glad youâre finally awake. You almost got me worried,â he explained.Â
âHow longâŠ?â
âFive days. How are you? Does anything hurt? Should I get a doctor? I should get a doctor, right? Yeah, you justââÂ
He only stopped talking because you gave him a tired look and laced your fingers with his. âMax, relax... Itâs fine,â you said weakly. âI need a minute⊠before you call them.â
You didnât want to talk, you just wanted to be there with him, holding hands while your brain caught up. But eventually he apologized and left to find a nurse, because he was too afraid that something would go wrong if he waited too long. He needed confirmation that you were okay, that it was safe to let you talk, to touch you, to kiss you. He wanted to know when and what you could eat, when he could bring you your favorite coffee. His brain was in overdrive, but he didnât mind.Â
Not when he finally had you back.Â
The next morning he was sitting by your side, having a conversation with you about something trivial. Speaking went well now, the soreness in your throat quickly faded with practice. Sure, you still werenât a hundred percent, but it was much better than what he heard in the middle of the night. He told you what happened, he told you everything he had mentioned while you were unconscious, and your conversation went so well that he didnât even notice Charles coming in.Â
âYouâre awake!â the Monegasque said with a bright smile as he handed the usual cup to Max. âHow are you feeling?â
You returned his smile, but when you tried to take a deep breath, you couldnât help but wince. âMy ribs hurt like hell when I breathe or talk too much,â you replied. âThank you for staying with him.â
Charles looked over at Max, then his eyes returned to you. âIâm staying by his side because I donât want my girlfriend to kick me out.â
After all those days it was hard to tell if he was serious, or if he was just saying this to hide the fact their relationship did change lately. Max surprised himself, because he wanted to believe it was the latter. His gaze returned to you, choosing to stay out of your conversation for now.Â
âStill,â you began, but fell silent when you looked over at your boyfriend. âWhy canât you be like Charles?â He gave you a confused look, and out of the corner of his eye he noticed the other driverâs evergrowing smile. âHe gets proper sleep. He shaves. He doesnât live in a hospital room,â you added with a stern look.Â
Shaking his head, Max placed a kiss on your temple. âIâm not leaving you. Donât even think about it.â
âBut sheâs right,â Charles told him with a shit-eating grin.Â
âGo to hell,â Max told him with a roll of his eyes.

I am overwhelmed by all your positve feedback :,)
So I wrote Act 2 over the weekend. Depending on feedback I might expand this story to a full 5 Act piece. Tell me what you think of that :) Enjoy Act 2!
When Logan woke up, he noticed everything was quiet around him, except for that annoying pigeon always perched up next to his window. He remembered how one year it tried to build a nest right next to the window and they had asked Kitty to transport just outside of the wall to get rid of it. She accidentally cracked one of the eggs during that job and cried about it for half a week. Logan huffed in amusement thinking about it.
The next sensation that returned to him was touch. And he suddenly felt too hot. There were one too many pillows around his head and he felt how his body started to heat up again after his night's sleep. The same can be said for the double blanket that weighed him down and the hot breeze that hit his neck in a steady rhythm.
Wait.
He frowned.
A hot breeze?
âI thought we were sleeping inâŠâ A mumble came from right next to him. The voice was still raspy from sleep but it took Logan less than a second to realize what had happened.
Fuck.
He swore to himself that he would keep his hands off her till he figured things out between him and Jean. His body stiffened. How to get out of this mess?
Y/N moved closer to him, her head resting on the pillow then placed onto his chest. She hummed contently at the warmth of his body.
Last night's end-of-semester party had ended on a positive note for her when Logan pulled her away from the drink, snacks and conversations to finally kiss her. She was pinned against the ornate oakwood wall coverings in the hallway and it was more beautiful and sensual than she had imagined.
Then they inevitably ended up in Logan's room where they spent the night having sex till they fell asleep. She had waited for him to finally make the move after a constant back and forth between them.
Logan sighed, moving into a sitting position and moving her with him. âWe are sleeping in.â, he responded, smoothing his hand along her exposed shoulder and arm. â I just need to sit up for a minute, bub. You know how my back is.â
She hummed in response, looking up at him with a content, sleepy smile. Why did she have to make this worse?
âI really like you, Logan. This⊠us, you know?â She asked, her hand moving to massage his shoulder. Why canât she stop?
He let his head rest against the wooden bed frame. â Yeahâ, closing his eyes and thinking of a way to set things straight again.
âIt's not the right time to talk about this but...I told you about my plan to teach at another school for the next few years. See something new, learn and better my teaching.â She moved closer, from her leaning position into a half-upright one. One leg was thrown over his hips.
Yes, please go.
âYeah, you told me,â Logan answered, trying to keep his voice neutral. Her departure would give him time to sort himself out and or makeup with Jean. He did feel bad for letting Y/n on but she seemed so happy about it.
âIâm not so sure about it now. With you and me⊠I wanna give this a try.â She leaned forward to give him a soft kiss. Logan turned his head just in time for her lips to partially miss and land in his scruffy beard. He concealed it by hugging her into his chest.
He paused before answering. Feeling her weight against his chest, the soft skin of her back against his arms. Â This was nice, he admitted. But there still resigned a little dark seed in him that pushed him towards Jean. To try again, keep chasing and not give up. Y/n would be there. She always was but Jean was moving fast, unreachable and glowing.
âGo onâ He spoke.
âIâm going to ask the other school to push my visit for another year. Spend more time with you â She gently moved her hands along his back, caressing it. No, leave. You need to leave!
âSounds like a good idea, bub.â He sighed softly, letting go of her and leaning back against the bed frame. Y/n had moved into his lap, legs resting over his hips and he felt himself stirring again at the close contact.
She grinned happily at him. Chasing him for another kiss. âGreat! Another summer together canât hurt.â She kissed again, âright?â
Logan shook his head slightly as a high-pitched ringing started to sound around him.
Her hands started racking through his hair, pulling him closer.
If only she had knownâŠ
âOh, I do!â She laughed, kissing along his neck, her hands scratching along his back.
Logan tensed âWhat?â
If she had known that you would leave her alone to die. She wouldnât have wanted to stay. She would be fine now. One fucking summer with him cost her all.
âIt was a good time though.â She sighed against his pulse, nibbling the soft skin there. Her free hand had moved along his body down under the blankets.
30 days she had with you.
Then you killed her.
She would be fine if you had told her and let her go.
âWhy wait that long?â She let go of his neck staring right at him. âWe can do it now!â
âWhat is happening?â Logan tried to push her off but to no avail. He was getting hot, skin prickling with sweat that wanted to squeeze through his pores.
âAnd this time you are right here. Why not do it yourself?â She smiled softly, both hands caressing his cheeks.
The ringing got louder and louder, drowning out all sounds except for her voice which got more distorted. It scratched against his eardrum painfully.
âOn the count of three,â She giggled, moving to position herself steady on his hips.
Logan couldnât move.
âOne!â
He felt trapped, watching her take his hands from behind her back.
âTwoâ
Serves you right asshole!
She placed his knuckles right under her breastbone. He felt the warm skin underneath his shaking hands.
âAaaand Three!â
Everything went silent.
His claws pierced through her chest with a disgusting wet sound. He could feel the dense material of her skin and flesh against his claws. The warmth of her body shifted into the metal coating. His shaking hands caused the blades to scratch against her bones and it made him shudder.
She gasped, holding herself upright against his shoulders.
âOh wowâŠâ She laughed, weakly. A trail of blood leaked from her mouth, dripping onto his hands and running down onto the white sheets. Red droplets spread in the cotton, dying it red.
âThat actually really hurts!â She looked up at him with bloodshot eyes. Her body was starting to tremble.
âY/nâŠâ Logan whispered in horror. Looking at the woman impaled.
âSee, Logan, thatâs what happens-â she took his hands and rammed them further into her body. âFuck! Ha- When you let me get closeâ
She leaned forward, moving his arms with her. His elbows knocked against the cool wood behind him.
A soft, bloody kiss was placed on his cheek.
Logan only whimpered, trying to close his eyes but he still couldnât move.
âNow⊠Do better.â She whispered in his ear. Slowly she got back into her seated position. She smiled at him with a bloodied smile, teeth stained and dripping red. She lifted her arm and smacked him across the cheek with an inhuman force.
Logan scrambled to get up. A crusty carpet under his fingers, the stench of garlic in his nose and the bright sunlight blinding him.
Coffee.
He could smell coffee.
He was sweating, feeling the little crumbs and bits of dust sticking to his exposed skin. They prick him as he shifts into a sitting position. Logan's back was flush against the cool leather of the sofa he must have slept on, falling onto the dirty carpet.
A dream.
A memory.
A nightmare.
âWhoa! Peanut, you up?" Wade called from the kitchen. He strolled into the living room in his red and white morning robe coffee mug in hand. He eyed Logan cautiously. Noticing the older man's heavy breathing and disoriented look. All jokes aside: Wade felt bad for seeing him in pain. They had more in common than either wanted to admit.
âFell right off the couch huh?â Wade crouched down in front of Logan. He watched silently as the other came back to his senses, brushing off the dirt on his exposed arms. Wade blew away the steam of his hot coffee.
âMust have been a tumble.â Wade suggestively lifted his nonexistent brows. âA sexy tumble?â He slurped his coffee loudly.
âGet the fuck away from me.â Logan brushed a hand over his sweaty brow and into his hair.
âAn unpleasant tumble then? Well, donât feel bad, buddy. Happens to the best of usâ Wade patted Logan's head, getting away fast enough to not get sliced again. Â He moved back to the counter, pouring Logan a cup in his newly acquired â hottest DILF in the MCUâ cup. And two sugars. Logan would never ask for them out loud but Wade knew that he liked sweet things.
âThatâs a bit on the nose, no?â Wade chuckled, bringing the mug over to Logan who had managed to get seated on the couch. The mismatched blanket and pillow pushed off onto the side.
âWhat?â
âOh nothing, I didnât talk to you.â
Logan huffed, taking a sip. â Fucking maniacâ The sweet burning liquid soothed his fried nerves.
Wade grabbed a chair, seating himself at the kitchen counter. Logan needed some space if he was to give some answers.
They sat in silence for the next few minutes, each nursing their drink.
It was Logan that broke the silence: âHow did I get back here?â He sighed, staring at Wade.
The other man had been staring out of the window, seemingly lost in thought.
âOh yeah. Well after you made a run for it, stabbed me on the street, destroyed my brand new light cotton shirt-â
âGet to the point.â
Wade gasped dramatically â Catty, are we?â He clicked his tongue and continued âAfter that the party was basically over. And after most of the guests were gone, me and the tag team, went looking for you and picked you up from a piss-drenched alley before you went on to cause more trouble. Please and thank you.â
Logan sighed, upset and embarrassed. He had not only upset Wade and the girl but also wrecked the party for the rest of him. They called him the worst Wolverine for a reason.
Wade turned towards to fridge to scavenge for some breakfast. âYour tab has also been covered.â
Logan almost choked on his drink: âBy who?â
âOhh the X-men⊠academy? I donât know.â Wade shrugged, biting into a piece of leftover puff pastry. âPiotr said something about thanking you for stabilizing the timeline. I didnât really understand and neither did he. But hey! You got your sins paid for with government money. Isnât that sweet?â
He grabbed a muffin from the fridge and threw it at Logan, who luckily caught it.
âAnd after all that fucking trouble, you at least owe me an explanation.â Wade's sudden shift from playful to serious sobered Logan.
He stayed silent for a moment, feeling how his jaw tensed. That fucking dream had been like a punch in the gut, his subconscious fucking him up even further.
He sniffed, setting the mug down.
âI knew a Y/n in my timeline.â
âNo shit!â Wade exclaimed, his frustration blending into the mocking tone of his voice.
Logan grunted in annoyance. âWe were both at the school. Working there. Fighting together. I met her quite early on.â One of his hands rubbed over the rough material of his jeans. âShe and I were close; always had my back. And I took that for granted.â He swallowed the lump that formed in his throat. âShe died, with the others.â
Silence hung in the room, making the air feel thick.
âAnd?â Wade, asked.
âAnd what?â Logan was agitated.
âWell yeah, she died. Like the others. But you had no panic attack when you met Colossus, or Ellie, Yukio-â
âShe wanted to leave the school for a year abroad. Teach somewhere else but she stayed because of me." His chest was getting heavy again. âShe stayed because I let her on, okay? I kept her close in case things with Jean didnât work out. I knew she loved me-â
âThatâs cookie jarring!â Wade exclaimed, excitedly âMy Gen Zâs told me about that!â
âThe fuck are you talking about?! I am telling you something important and you-â
âItâs when you keep a second option in case love interest numero uno doesnât like you back. Keeping a sweet backup treat to not end up without a price.â
âI guess so. But never use that term again. I swear-â Could you have one serious conversation with this ass clown?
Logan sighed, collecting his thoughts. âShe felt more for me than I did for her at the time. I mean I did love her but I was a bastard and couldnât stop chasing after something that wasnât mine to begin with.â
The picture of his nightmare came back to him. Y/n, impaled, bleeding out by cause of his hand.
âShe wouldnât have been there if you had told her the truth? When the attack happened?â Wade concluded.
âI reciprocated her feelings. Gave her what she wanted for a night after I got frustrated with Jean. I made Y/n think that I was over her.â He scratched his beard, still feeling her lips linger there âI didnât have the guts to tell her the truth and I was too much of a bastard to stop; couldnât see that she was the one... She haunts me the most.â
âWow.â
âWhat?â
âyou really are an asshole. A surprisingly reflected asshole.â Wade nodded, lifting his mug in a mocking salute.
Logan just scoffed.
âGreat, now thatâs out of the way. I have a confession to make.â Wade fumbled with his pocket and pulled out a beat-up notebook.
âWhat did you do?â The older one said wearily.
âIâŠâ Wade flipped through the pages in a dramatic fashion, mumbling while he pulled out several loose sheets. â⊠went on a little universe hopping trip while you were having your beauty sleep. And met with the other Wolvies that I had met during the search for you, pumpkin.â
He scattered the pages and some pictures on the counter. âAt least the ones that didnât want to kill me right away or the ones that stopped after they got their steam off.â
âGet to the fucking point. This is worse than the babbling on the home shopping-â Logan had gotten up from the couch to inspect the pages.
âIn every timeline that I visited, there was a Y/n. That was connected and or married to you, big boy.â Wade proudly took a sip of his now cold coffee while Logan rummaged through the material present.
âThat canât be. Itâs coincident.â
âNa uh! Not if itâs constant in a bunch of universes and we are talking about a bunch, I mean, a BUNCH of universes. Do we want to say it together?â
âWhat?â
âOkay, 1,2,3-â
âNo.â
âSOULMATES!â Wade cheered.
âNo. There are no soulmates and even if there were. That-â He pointed at the scribbled notes. âIs not how it works.â
âAw câmon! There are no rules to soulmates. You can do it in all kinds of ways. Matching tattoos, first words spoken to another, only getting colour vision after meeting the one-â He gasped âYou do see in colour, right?âÂ
âThis proved nothing. And you need to stop getting into my fucking business.â Logan crumpled up the note in his hand and dropped it to the ground. âI donât care what you think. This is bullshit and a waste of time. I-â
He was interrupted by a yelp, coming from the the hallway.
The fucking dog. Logan sighed. It was a mistake to get to this universe.
âShhh-â Another voice, hushed the puppy.
Oh no, oh please no.
âShe is here?!â Logan spit angrily. He felt betrayed. Why was she here? Why didnât Wade tell him? And why didnât he sense it before? She heard everything. The fucking drinking problem and his fucking age were catching up to him.
âWhat-? She came all the way here. Late and the party ended right after, thanks to someone who canât keep his shitty trauma at bay!â Wade bickered. âY/n is my friend too, you know!â
The door to Deadpoolâs room opened slowly. There was no reason to keep hiding in there. The pup had blown her cover. âPoppy, no, stayâŠâ She sighed in annoyance as the dog rushed off to her owner. Wade picked her up quickly, kissing her on the tuff of fur on her otherwise naked body.
âShe is not my friend-â Logan pointed at Wade accusingly. His eyes shifted to the hallway where he saw the door open slowly. Wadeâs door. He saw red.
âShe slept in your room?!â The pointing finger quickly turned into a fistful of adamantium claws, the tips nicking Wadeâs chin. âYou have a death wish you little fuck?!â
âWhoa, whoa, hey!â Y/n rushed out of the room to de-escalate the unfolding situation. She hoped to make a quiet escape, sneak out through the fire escape, wait it out or call Piotr to stage a plan to get her out of there. But thanks to the puppy and these two hot heads it was going to be the awkward confrontation kind of exit.
She had tried to play it cool last night and not show her disappointment. She had been curious about the new character that Wade brought back from his multidimensional trip. Y/n wanted to find out what he was like, and how this world differed from his. She even asked the older X-team members about their Logan. What he was like, what he liked, and what topics interested him.
And he had made a run for it the second he saw her. Of course, she was hurt. Trying to push the tears down as the others tried to comfort her. She didnât feel like crying but the sudden attention had made her feel like she should.
âRelax, okay?â She lifted her hands in surrender. âAnd you, drop the puppy. She isnât involved in yourâŠâ She plucked the puppy from Wadeâs arm and set her down. âWhatever this is.â
Logan watched her, looking for little details in her movements, and her behaviour. With regret, he came to the conclusion that she was a carbon copy of the woman he lost. His eyes got glassy as the images of his nightmare played behind his eyes. He shook his head swiftly, eyes set on the wooden counter to calm before he had another outburst.
Y/n watched him and sighed âI slept in his room because the sofa was occupied.â She said calmly, moving past Wade to get to the sink where her carrier sat. It was dirtied with cream and crumbs, a rinse was in order but that had to wait. âAnd sleeping in your room felt intrusive, Â I assumed you would agree.â She clicked the container shut.
Wade watched her carefully, his brain working quickly to think of a joke, or a jest⊠anything to dissolve the situation. He felt like a child, trapped in their parent's divorce. Humour was his sharpest weapon. So he aimed. âyeah!â He leaned onto the counter, closing in on the spot that Logan seemed to be so focused on. âWe switched. Some good old game of Ringelpiez. And I gotta say, your sheets smell sweet like honey, badger.â He winked at Logan, knowing fully well that he might end up with his brain skewered.
But the older one simply groaned, annoyed at his antiques.
Y/n softly touched Wade's shoulder âItâs alright. Iâm just going to leaveâ She carefully turned to Logan. âI didnât mean to eavesdrop. Truly.â His eyes shifted to her for a second and it was Y/n that looked away quickly. His gaze was too heavy, holding emotions that she couldnât decipher or handle.
âWhat? Pudding, noâ Wade whined âWhat about girlfriend brunch?â He placed his hands on his hips in dramatic fashion. âYou promisedâ
âWade- donât.â She warned him. âNext week, okay?â Logan still avoided her. The Wolverine, a feared and powerful mutant, cowering in a corner over unresolved feelings. One might pity him.
Y/n shouldered her bag and said goodbye to the dog that watched the interaction with native happiness.
She opened the door and quickly stepped into the hallway. The muffled sounds of arguing resumed only a second after the lock clicked into place but she continued on. The elevator was only a few steps away, she almost managed to get out when the door opened behind her.
âWait.â
Y/n stopped, looking over her shoulder cautiously. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw dark hairâŠ
âIâm sorry alrightâŠâHe stopped looking for the right words. He didnât think when he ran to the door, leaving Wade standing there mid-sentence. It was like a pull that called him to follow. âIâm sorry about yesterday.â He sighed, frustrated at his mumbling. He was the Wolverine for god's sake.
âI shouldnât haveâŠ. I-â
âapology accept.â She interrupted him, turning around and facing him.
Logan froze.
âBut we have to set one thing straight.â She set her shoulders back, unconsciously making herself look bigger. â I am sorry for your loss. I truly am. But I am not her.â Y/n shook her head softly. âAnd you are not my Logan-â She noticed the odd phrasing when his eyes widened ever so little âNot that he was-you get what I mean.â She huffed embarrassed.
âYeah.â Logan chuckled softly as the tension ebbed away. Was she also feeling that tingle in her chest?
âAnyway,let's do this properly. Itâs nice to meet you, Iâm Y/n.â She held out her hand for him to shake.
A simple, friendly and professional handshake. Surely he could manage that, no?
He looked at her hand for a moment, surprised by the gesture. Then his large hand took hers. He was pleasantly surprised at the firmness with which she squeezed his fingers. There was no fear. No uncertainty.
It felt warm and familiar. Like home
âLogan.â He stated.

Come & check out my COD m.list!
It happens.Â
A lot.
The library, your favourite diner, your flower shopâanywhere.
It happens more than you can imagine, but with Phil around, itâs mostly from afar. The kind where they could only dream about making a move on you, if not for the guard dog with the sharp tongue.
Hence, when heâs not around, he worries a little for you, but he knows you can protect yourself when needed, thanks to the self-defence lessons he has given you when you were still dating.
So, imagine the unlucky bastard who thought it was a good idea to take advantage of your gracious hospitality, not knowing your husband was around.
It happened when he had finished work, but instead of heading home, he took the route where your flower shop was. Closing time was ten minutes ago so he knew youâd be waiting for him at the cafe next door, probably nursing a cup of your favourite drink or nibbling on a pastry.
He hated it whenever he couldnât reach you on the dot or before, no matter how many times youâve reassured him.Â
Reaching the neighbourhood shops was like a breath of fresh air, enjoying the sense of familiarity and the breeze as he turned the corner, passing by the cafe first.
But with a glance, his brows furrowed, seeing that you were nowhere in sight. He quickly took it as a sign that you were still working, though a thirty-minute overtime was almost uncommon of you.
He parked his convertible close to the entrance of your shop but still out of view, and for a brief moment, he caught sight of you through the window.Â
And just his mood lifted, ready to greet you with open arms, his smile dropped.
You were dealing with a customer, a man likely in his 30s and dressed, well, if one were told to dress formally, and they did it haphazardly, then that was exactly what it was. His body language was a little awkward, almost unsure what pose may look alluring in your eyes.
Though Phil had a knack for judging certain people by their looks, if and only if their personality rubbed him the wrong way, he didnât have an issue thinking of the worst insults about the man, if not for the uncomfortable smile on your face.
So, leaning against the wall, away from you or the manâs sight, he listened in.Â
âSo, your husbandâs in the military, huh?â He asked, but Phil wasnât dumb enough to think it wasnât a sneer in disguise. Probably thought he held some rookie position, âMust be hard not having someone to hold to every night.â
Phil didnât bother hiding the scornful look on his face.
âItâs not bad,â He immediately perked up at the sound of your voice. The gentle sound that could heal even his worst wounds, âHe finds time to check up on me.âÂ
Whether or not you were telling the truth or if you were downplaying your thoughts if his absence really did bother you, heâll ask you later, but for now, he wanted to tell you how proud he was. Not letting some schmuck stick their nose in someone elseâs business, and your marriage, no less.
âWell, sure, but look at you! I donât know about you but if I had a girl like you? Shoot, I donât Iâd ever get any work done,â The audacity. Philâs jaw tightened, listening to him weakly defend himself when you didnât respond, undoubtedly displeased by his unnecessary opinion, âBut thatâs just me, yâknow.â
âRight, um,â You turned to the row of flower pots, using the second to roll your eyes to the back of your head before showing him the bunch of bluebells in your hands, âHow about some bluebells?â
The man pretended to think, âNah, I mean, theyâre cute but Iâm looking for something⊠more,â He then leaned in, resting his arm on the counter, âA little bland, if Iâm being honest with you.â
You forced a smile, but Phil, oh Phil.
He wasnât smiling.Â
Who was this man, no, who was this kid to not see how uncomfortable you were with his god-awful âflirtingâ skills and judge your taste in your very own store?
âThatâs fine, Iâm sure we can find something else.â Oh, that pitiful tone of yours. Just how long has this man been bothering you?
You bit down a sigh, placing the bluebells back into their pot before walking back to the back of the counter. You knelt, possibly looking for something else, though Phil wouldnât blame you if you were doing so to drown him out for a bit.
Phil had listened long enough. Moving off the wall, he clicked on the lock button of his car keys. He spun his keys on his finger as he entered the shop, the rattling sounds prompted the man to follow his figure. His eyebrows knitted further, more so when Phil casually stopped right in front of the counter as if used to coming over.
His eyes darted from Philâs attire; simple yet sophisticated, and how he carried himself, then the convertible behind him. The sudden insecurity forming in the guyâs mind was a no-brainer.
You mustâve heard the extra pair of footsteps and the keys, âIâll be right with you!âÂ
He didnât respond, opting to eye the manâChad, which he would later learnâwith full of judgement. The latter flinched when their eyes met, though he tried to act cool soon by clearing his throat.
But the stare may have been too much for him, as he asked, his voice less confident than before, âDo I know you?âÂ
âYou tell me.â He responded loud enough for you to hear, and just as he hoped, you straightened, visibly lighting up at the sight of him.Â
âPhil!â You cheered, already forgetting about the customer as you rushed over to your husband for a hug, âI thought you wouldnât be back until tonight?â
He shrugged, wrapping one of his arms around you while he caressed the apple of your cheek with his free hand, âChange oâplans. Drove here as fast as I could.â He gave you a lazy smile, more so when you jutted out your bottom lip, pouting at his statement.Â
âPhil, you know how I feel about you speeding home,â You sighed, despite leaning into his touch, âBut Iâm glad youâre back. Safe.â
You couldnât stay mad at him, not with that cheeky smile of his before he pressed his lips onto yours. You could feel the upturn of his lips when you yelped, and he didnât even bother hiding his amusementâhis delighted huff when you returned the kiss.
But before he could feel you, before he could melt into your hands as they held his face, you broke the kiss, almost hiding in his chest for a moment before motioning to the man watchingâhis face that of panicked realization.
âPhilâCustomerâŠâ
Ew.
Well, at least he learnt he had messed with the wrong married woman.
Phil suddenly grinned, and a painfully fake one, judging by the lack of positive emotion, or any emotion in his eyes as he looked at Chad.
âYâhere for an arrangement?â
âUâUh, no. Iâm just⊠looking around. Thinking of buying one for my, uh, girl.â
The man wasnât dumb enough to think the smirk on Gravesâ face wasnât the face of mockery. A man who has done enough interrogations to know just how much he was bullshitting.
âHuh, Yâmust be lookinâ for a special one if youâre makinâ my girl workinâ overtime,â He glanced at the clock just hanging by the door, his arm not leaving you once, âYâsleepinâ in the dog house or somethinâ?âÂ
âPhil.â You hissed, and ever so cutely, might your husband add. You briefly apologised to Chad, even if you wanted nothing more than to send him on his way.
âSorry, sorry,â If you noticed his lack of sincerity, you didn't call him out on it. Graves held his hand out, the corner of his lips twitched when Chad took a step back, âGraves. Commander and CEO. Proud husband of this pretty girl right here.âÂ
Chad accepted, albeit hesitantly, nearly squawking when Phil purposely squeezed his hand. He had a feeling he wouldn't mind breaking his arm if it weren't for the obvious repercussions and well, you being there.Â
âMr Thompson was just looking for a bouquet for his girlfriend. It might take a minute so you can hang around for a bit while I help him.â You explained, standing close to your husband, now that he was with you.
âOr,â Phil spoke, and you shouldâve suspected something was up just by his tone, despite his so-called generous offer, âI help him look for what he needs, while you go ahead and close up, get your bag, lock the back room and all.â
You raised your brows, âPhil, are you sure?â
He hummed, âCâmon. âBout time I put my flower knowledge into good use. And who knows?â He glanced at Chad, sharply. With his eyes on the unwanted customer, he leaned to your side, as if whispering, despite making sure Chad heard him loud and clear, âItâs probably nothinâ more than a lilâ trouble in paradise. Nothinâ I canât sort out, man to man.â
You thought for a moment. You had your suspicions when Chad stopped by the same time your shift ended. And while you wouldnât have minded, he wasnât exactly helpful about his request either. Giving you doubtful answers such as his supposed girlfriendâs favourite colour or the occasion.Â
Plus, you were a little eager to be away from Chad, even for a short while.
In the end, you nodded, much to Chadâs horror.
âOkay, I just need to organize a few boxes in the back,â You squeezed Phil's arm, âThank you. I wonât take long.â
Sliding his hand down your arm, he raised your hand to his lips before letting you go.
âTake all the time yâneed, pretty girl,â And as soon as you were out of sight, his voice dropped, the upturn of his lips now in a manner that Chad knew this was going to be anything but a quick talk amongst men about which apology flowers were the best, âTake all the time yâneed.â
His smile was nowhere to be seen as he leaned against the counter, crossing his arms as he watched Chad pinching a leaf of random flower in the guise of interest.
But by the third flower, Graves had enough, surprising Chad with his authoritative tone.
âYâjust gonna stand there and ruin my wifeâs flowers or are yâgoinâ to buy somethinâ and get out?âÂ
âIâmâŠâ Chad began but Phil didnât give him the satisfaction to explain himself. He didnât need to.
âLook. Iâm really fuckinâ tired, and my girl is, too, but Iâm sure youâre too busy trying to look down her dress to notice that.â
âThatâsââ
âCut,â He didnât even need to raise a single finger as the tone he normally used on his team on a bad or serious day was enough to shut the man up, â... the bullshit, alright? Yâcan buy all the flowers you want to impress her, save a puppy as soon as you see her coincidentally walk by at the park. Fuckinâ pick-me.â
The impatient smile plastered on his face told Chad everything about the commanderâs patience.
âI know a degenerate when I see one.â Chad knew not to trust how calm Phil sounded, âAnd I know she can defend herself just fine. Hell, I taught her everything she needs to know tâdeal with boys like you. But I can tell yâone thing; Iâll do so much worse than what sheâs already capable of.â
Gravesâ heavy footsteps sounded like a disaster waiting to happen in mere seconds before he stood in the middle of the shop.
âMight wanna get out while yâcan.â He gritted out, and Chad didnât waste a second to find out what wouldâve happened if he didnât that very instance, whether it was from you or your husband.
You returned just in time to find Graves appreciating the tulips, though, unbeknownst to you, he was also slightly miffed that some were stained by Chadâs hands alone.
âOh, did he find what he needed?â
ââGuess so. Took off as soon as he figured it out. He didnât buy anythinâ though,â He swiftly carried the bag for you, pulling you in for a kiss on your forehead, âSorry he wasted yâtime.â
âThatâs alright,â You grinning, not expecting him to apologize over that, âI just need to keep the flowers in the back. Mind helping me?â
Of course he didn't mind.
He moved with you, carrying much more stock to the cool room where the unsold flowers were kept. During his second run, he lightly tapped you on the ass, stealing a kiss before telling you to lock the register instead. You did just that, carefully organizing the cash and coins before locking it.
Phil worked with ease, pushing necessary pots and displays to one side and pulling the blinds down like the tasks were at the back of his hand. But he didnât draw the blinds close all the way, though, leaving a small opening at the bottom of the windows where you and Graves could see the sun shining through and the feet of passers-by.Â
But unbeknownst to you, he locked the front door and with great care, avoided the usual click.
He shamelessly glanced at you at every possible moment, watching you sit prettily as you focused on your task behind the counter.Â
Once his side was done, he approached you, stannding in between your legs as soon as you locked the register.
âAll done.â You smiled, crinkles forming in your eyes.
âPerfect.â He opened up his arms, closing the space in between as you embraced. But just as you basked in the wholesome reunion, you froze up, eyes wide at a familiar tent prodding your stomach. He didn't bother concealing his amusement, his smile grew at your giggles, showering one side of your face with kisses to hear more of you.Â
âThought he'd never leave.â He murmured against your skin with zero shame, which prompted you to pull back.
âYou threw him out?â You asked in disbelief.
âHe threw himself out,â He shrugged, not exactly lying but telling you the whole truth either. He cooed at your little frown, even holding his hand up in a saluting manner, âIâm serious. Scout's honour.âÂ
âWere you even a scout?âÂ
âNope,â He responded without missing a beat, âBut I do know how to tie a knot.âÂ
âPhil!â You smacked his arm, but it did nothing to deter him, âI wasn't even gone that long.âÂ
âFour minutes was all I needed.â He brushed his nose against your neck, looping his arms around you. You couldn't help but melt, sighing but more so in contentment than disappointment. Granted, you were anything but the latter, but who knows where your business would be if Phil did, well, whatever to your customers the way he did to Chad.
âHe was bothering ya.â You knew it wasn't a question and there was no point denying it, so you hummed in confirmation.
âKinda figure that out after a while,â You shrugged, though you didn't want him to worry either, âI, uh, had my suspicion as soon as I asked him what he was looking for.â
âYeah? What did he really tell ya?âÂ
âJust said he wanted some pretty flowers for a pretty lady, and then,â You mimicked the awkward eyebrow-wiggles he did to you, much to Philâs amusement and disdain, âAnd then said no to all of my suggestions.â
Philâs tutting was akin to a Southern mother's, being his blood and all. That, and he was having second-hand embarrassmentâto think Chad thought he'd have a chance using that line on you.
Hell, on anyone.
âIt was getting a little embarrassing, honestly.â You couldn't help but snort, only for your smile to grow when he, too, expressed his amusement.Â
âA littleâ was putting it lightly.
âYou and me, sugar.â Â
You leaned your weight against him just as he did against the counter, figuring that this was one of those days where he needed to just relax. Be around you as if you exuded great energy, and in his eyes, you were.
A far cry from the more despicable chaos he and his partnering team have to deal with for a living.
You brushed your fingers along his stubble, smiling to yourself at the familiar, prickly sensation. Ever the perceptive man, he angled his face so your lips were pressed on his instead of his cheek.
It was much needed for the both of you as he tilted his head to deepen the kiss. Though, you tried not to go too far with it, your nerves rising as your eyes flitted to the door, despite Philâs breathy reassurance that he locked it.
Noticing your hesitance, he broke the kiss to rest his head in the crook of your neck. His warm breath tickled you, more so when his hands languidly moved up and down your body.
But then, his hands didn't stop moving upwards.
He swiftly pulled down the straps of your dress, trailing his lips along your shoulder. Though the dress wasn't fully removed, the way you haphazardly held the front of it against your chest, amplifying your cleavage which was just as alluring as you were topless.
âPhil!â You choked out, and yet, he continued. Licking across your newly exposed skin with the tip of his tongue. Starting from the collarbone, down to your tits when he squeezed your breasts together, and then, sucking on the plush at random spots. Eager to leave a mark wherever he could with shameless sounds of suckling and pops, âHere?!âÂ
If the way your hand shot up to his hair, massaging his scalp and pulling his head close instead of pushing him away was anything to go by, he knew dead set on making you scream.
He took a step back, encouraging you to stand up before hooking his arms under your ass, lifting you effortlessly to seat you on the counter.
His bulge was snug against you, thanks to his taller stature. The way his hands slid down your thighs prompted you to wrap your legs around him, despite the growing warmth in your face at the lewd display. There was something about the sliver of possibility of being watched that raised both your worries and anticipation, despite the opaqueness of the cream-coloured window blinds.
Plus, the shop wasn't exactly soundproof either.
He leaned forward, forcing you to lie back on the surface. His lips hadn't slowed down since, enjoying your squirms and breathless moans as he peppered your neck in kisses before raising his head.
âMy wife's a beaut, isn't she?â He whispered against your temple, rolling one of your tits in between his fingers before sliding his hand down to your thigh, squeezing the plush of it, âGot these boys actinâ stupid around ya.âÂ
You gasped when his hand slid further under your skirt. He toyed with the waistband of your panties, teasingly pulling them up and wedging the lacy material in between your sopping pussy.
âEven I can't resist her sweet lilâ charm,â He purred, pulling your panties to the side and then bunching the hem of your dress for him to delight in all its glory, âYâknow that, don't cha?âÂ
He swiped two of his fingers across your lips. Even the softest touch elicited the most delicious squelch he had ever heard.Â
He hummed in approval, teasing you to his heart's delight, âBut she's also so, so dirty, deep down,â He made sure you made the slightest mess, letting your juices drip bit by bit, down to your tight hole and the counter itself, âAnd thisâthis is only fâme to see, right, pretty girl?âÂ
He captured your lips with his before you could even muster out a breathless âyesâ, the kiss ending just as quickly as it happened before tapping your lips with his fingers.
You didn't need to be told, but that didn't mean it was any less embarrassing. But his approving hum at your first, kitten-like lick was encouraging. It had you chasing after his praises, verbal or otherwise.Â
His cock was downright throbbing, wishing it was his cock you were eagerly drooling on instead of his fingers, but who was he to say he wasn't enjoying the view in hand either?Â
Once he was sure they were wet enough, he slid them out of your mouth, crudely enjoying the string of saliva for a second before dropping his fingers to your cunt.Â
He mirrored your parted lips, watching your face scrunch up as he eased in one finger. Your whimper was pitiful, and the slightly wicked side of him couldnât help but coo at you almost condescendingly, knowing you could handle something much bigger than his mere finger, even if they were much thicker than yours.Â
He set a torturing pace, taking in the way your body moved, rolling your hips in hopes youâd have his fingers knuckles-deep in you. The way you half-heartedly covered your face with one hand was endearing, probably too overwhelmed by his unapologetic stare.
Then, he cranked up the speed with two fingers, greedy for more of your juices leaking out each time he moved in and out. And by the time you were clenching around three fingers, he was ruthless with his pace.Â
Unforgiving.Â
He looked euphoric just from bringing the pleasure to you, tipping his head back as he listened to you struggling to hold back your moans and whines whenever he pulled out to tease and slap at your clit.
âColour?â As casual as he tried to sound, he was just as breathless as you were.
âGreenâŠâ You whined, pleading him to continue, even if it felt like you were overstimulating, âPhil, please⊠PleaseâŠ!â
You didnât have to repeat, for he amped up his pace and chased after the climax when the pitch of your voice heightened, arching your back like you werenât sure if you wanted him to carry on or push him away when you were getting close.
He didnât falter, nipping on your shoulder just a tad harder just before you trembled, cumming and clenching hard around his fingers. He cupped your face with his other hand, soothing you from your high with praises and kisses.Â
âSuch a good girl, my good girl. Always so brave fâme, makinâ the sweetest faces. None of those boys gets tâsee what I see.âÂ
It wasnât long before he carefully slid his fingers out, comforting you each time you whimpered or twitched.
Opting to continue caressing your face, he took the chance to snag a taste of you. Savouring the one taste he had been dying for each time he was away for work.
But he didnât finish it all. As much as he wanted to, he needed to save the rest for his cock, itching to have a mere feel of your wetness.
Speaking of, he was straining, standing proud and curved a little as the tip, just a hint of red, nearly touched his belly button as soon as he pulled his trousers down. It yearned to feel you, tight and hot, his extra-vulgar actions were the results of restraining himself.Â
He shuddered a littleâit was entrancing, holding one of your legs up for him to brush his lips against and seeing his cock slide up and down your pussy lips.Â
Even after prepping you well, it felt like his cockhead was breaching your walls. You let out a breathy sigh, tilting your head at the upside windows, tensing up at the sight of passersbyâs feet at the foot of the glass.
âWhat do yâthink, pretty girl?â He murmured against your leg, still pushing into you, âDo yâthink that Thompson guyâs around, wonderinâ why the windowâs closed while the carâs still out there?â
The way your head tilted back against the counter in ecstasy, the last rays of the sun shining down on your skin. Even with the AC still on, it stopped neither of you from sweating. The thinnest layer of perspiration, especially gathering along your throat, down to the valley of your breastsâoh, what a shame it would be if he didnât have even a single lick of it. Â
And he did just that, leaning in to give one of your tits a teasing lick.
Those half-lidded eyes, that drunken smileâoh, he was losing it.
He felt like the most blessed man in the world.
âEyes on me, bunny. He can listen all he wants but thisâitâs you and me.â
And it wouldnât take long for you to reach your peak, Phil kept his eyes on your facial expression because if it wasnât the sexiest look he had ever seen before he, too, cums with you. In you.
Holding himself up with one hand beside your head, he used the other to caress your face, allowing you all the time in the world to catch your breath. But truth be told, he had fucked the senses right out of you.
âYou alright?â âMmmâŠâ Your murmurs had him chuckling as he carefully gathered you in his arms.
âCan y'walk? Or do I have to carry you? Because y'know I don't mind either way.â Not especially the latter. He may not be as buff as some of his team but he feels good being able to prove the assumptions wrong. So wrong.
You shook your head, and though none of you were even certain what your answer was, Phil somehow understood, but not before letting you collect yourself for as long as you needed. There was no need to rush. Not now.
âAlright, pretty girl. I can do that.â

---
The new kid was lost. That much was easy to tell. He had been clamied as Poseidon's son, and yet no one had the thought of actually directing him to his new cabin.
You've been watching him from the corner of your eyes as you help fix your cabin siblings' stance for a spar. He's been walking back and forth in circles like an abandoned kitten. It was honestly amusing to watch.
It was about 2 minutes later when you hear his footsteps nearing you and turned ariund to meet the boy's face. "Hey." He greeted breathily like he's been running a marathon.
"Fish boy." You responded, making him frown. "Um, I'm actually- never mind, I was wondering if you uh, know where the Poseidon cabin is?" You cross your arms and studied the confusion on his face. "Did Chiron not show you?"
"He did, I just, forgot?" Of course he did. "I'll show you, come on." You walk past him to where his cabin is at, the whole map of this camp is engraved in your mind.
"It's really not that far." You tell him as you kept moving. You had to slow down a bit when you remember he's carrying his bags with him.
Percy Jackson looks less threatening to you now than he did before. It's almosf hard to believe that this is the same kid who destroyed a minotaur and broke Clarisse's spear. He was just a boy, and not even a mean or bratty one.
How is it that Mr. D and Chiron both founded it totally fine to let this 12 year old boy live in an empty cabin alone is beyond you, but that's not your problem to think about.
He's quicker on his feet than you expected and asked questions less stupid that others have.
"There shouldn't be a curfew if I'm the only one here, right?" He ask as he drops his bag on the floor by the bed. You watch him from the door, leaning against the frame. "I mean, technically, I'm head of the cabin."
Your brows raised at that. "I don't think that's how it works."
"The curfew is probably the same as any other cabin's curfew, though like you said, it's not like there's anyone else to tell you when to go to bed here." He gets the implication you're making. You weren't going to tell him that he could go around and do as he likes, but he could actually do it if he wanted to. There's not much supervision here.
You turn on the lights from where you're at, the switch button being on the wall by the entrance. The walls of the place were blue and white, it seems more well kept than the other cabins. How disappointing that he wouldn't have anyone to share the space with.
Percy had stood up from his bed to walk over to you to say his thanks when the both of you were interrupted by a familiar voice. He flinched at Clarisse's presence. But you, as surprised as you are, is used to her sneaking up from behind.
"What does this punk want with you?" She questions boldly. You spin around to find her a few steps away from you. Percy physically shivered, walking deeper into the cabin. "I was just asking her for directions." He explained before you could.
She's looking him up and down like predators do to their preys with a demonic glare in her eyes. It's been less than 12 hours since he broke her spear. And losing dessert privileges and her spear wasn't exactly a recipe to making Clarisse happy.
You pat her shoulder with your hand, in which she quickly shrugged off as she steps closer to the cabin, standing next to you and eyeing Percy suspiciously. "You expect me to believe that no one else has shown you the direction here."
"I forgot." He spoke at the same time as you told her, "Clarisse, he forgot."
âForgot?â Clarisse turns her gaze from him to you and then back to him with a frown. "Well, you've already led him here, haven't you?" You gave her a look that says 'can you not?' She easily ignores your meaning of course, glaring at the boy again.
"Yes, I have. So I'll go now, come on Clarisse." You announced loudly, pulling your girlfriend by her arm to leave Percy alone.
She remains unmoving at first, sizing up Percy, until you tugged at her arm again, calling out her name. âClarisse, please. Let's just go back to training.â Finally giving in, she lets you drag ger away from the blonde boy. You could almost hear the sigh of relief leave his body.
"Thanks for the help-" you hear the fish boy shout from behind hesitantly.
"Absolute brat." Clarisse mutters under his breath once the two of you are away from him. "He was just asking for help." You felt the need to defend him.
She put her right arm over your shoulder, pulling you closer to her as she scoff at your words. "Great, you're already siding with him after what he's done to me. Really? Are we forgetting that he broke my spear?"
You did chase him around with it like a lunatic, you thought of telling her. But you knew better than to upset her even more.
"I'm always on your side, you know that." You replied gently instead, letting your own arm wrap around her waist as the two of you make it back to the training grounds.
"Good, you're the only one I want on my team, so that better be the last time I see you around him" You smiled at that and leaned closer to her face to place a peck on her cheeks before other people could see you two coming over. "Yes, ma'am." You teased her.
She pulls your face back to hers before you could fullt pull away and kisses you harder, cupping your cheek with her free hand, uncaring of anyone's eyes on you.

pairing: eddie munson x fem!reader
word count: 2.3k words
summary:Â in which itâs hard to see eddie with anyone who isn't you
warnings:Â friends to lovers to friends again (kinda), explicit language, alcohol consumption, very brief mention of weed, pining, angst
authorâs note: this is fully inspired by the song "new love" by girl in red. enjoy<333
.ă»ă.ă»ăâă».ă»â«ă»ăă»ă. .ă»ă.ă»ăâă».ă»â«ă»ăă»ă.
âSheâs right over there. Should I do it?â
âYeah, go for it.â
Eddie nodded at your words and then he was standing up from the long patio chair that you, him, and Robin had been occupying for the past thirty minutes, and heading over to where his newest crush stood with a few of her friends.Â
Robin let out a laugh. âI donât get it.â
You turned your head to look at her. âWhat?â
âHow you guys can still be friends right now. You only broke up like two months ago.âÂ
Making the promise to stay friends post-breakup was the only thing that made the breakup feel a thousand times less terrible. And it sounded easy enoughâ you and Eddie were simply just going to go back to how things were before you started dating.
âWeâre better off as friends,â He had said to you that random Wednesday night back in January and you nodded understandingly. It was amicable and mutual, and eventuallyâ maybe, hopefullyâ the barely five-month relationship would be a funny little story to reminisce about with each other years down the line. Â
You took a long sip from the red cup in your hand and then shrugged at Robinâs words. âI donât know. This just works somehow. Itâs better.âÂ
You had been telling yourself that lie a lot latelyâ maybe almost too much. But, it was easier to pretend that that lie was the truth and that everything was fine, instead of thinking that maybe you made a mistake that night when you found yourself agreeing with Eddie and let things end between the two of you.Â
âNo offense, but so weird,â Robin said with a shake of her head. âSo, whoâs this new girl heâs into anyway?â
âI honestly donât know.â
Eddie had told you a lot about herâ how she saw one of his bandâs shows recently with a few friends and how she kinda ran in the same-ish circlesâ but most of what he said about her went in one ear and out the other. Hearing him ramble on and on about a new crush hurt more than you thought it would. Even more than when you two were actually just friends and you were harboring what felt like a hopeless crush on him for years before finally admitting it.
Breaking up was supposed to save you both from more heartbreak in the long run, but most of the time it felt like it was only making things worse. Sometimes you wondered if Eddie felt the same wayâ if he regretted it as much as you did.Â
It was almost too obvious that he didnât, though, because he didnât waste a second moving on.Â
New girl, new crush, new love. All of which wasnât you anymore.Â
You looked away from where he stood next to the girlâ you were only fifty percent sure her name was Ally. She was happily laughing at whatever Eddie had just said to her, and he was smiling widely.Â
âIâm gonna go inside and attempt to find the bathroom,â You told Robin before downing the rest of what was in your cup and placing it on the ground, and then standing up. Â
She looked up at you. âWant some help?âÂ
âNo, itâs okay,â You shook your head. âIâll be right back.âÂ
You kept your eyes down and away from Eddie as you walked into the house, a place that was way too small to have this many people in it. The inside was packed to the brim with a bunch of unfamiliar faces, and that was the main reason why you, Robin, and Eddie immediately retreated to the backyard once the three of you showed up. The only reason you all knew about the party was because of a friend of a friend of someone that Eddie met at The Hideout a few weeks ago.
You maneuvered through the throngs of dancing people and groups of friends talking loudly over the blasting music and headed up the stairs, hoping that it would be a bit more calm.Â
The universe must have been somewhat on your side because you found the bathroom on your first try. You didnât even need to use it, you just wanted a moment of quiet. And even though you could hear the muffled sounds of the song playing downstairs through the shut door, it was still good enough.
You leaned back against the sink and let out a long breath.Â
It was hard not to think about Eddie with Ally and how happy they looked, even though it was only one of their first few conversations. All you wanted to do was take her place. All you wanted was for him to want you like that again.Â
It wasnât supposed to be this hard, this complicated. Being just friends again was supposed to be the best thing to do, and you now wanted to bitterly laugh at yourself for stupidly believing that thought two months ago. Most of the time, that night played back on what felt like a continuous loop in your head. You kept wondering if you shouldâve done things differently; if you shouldâve, maybe, fought harder to keep what you two had.Â
âI donât think we should do this anymore.â
You had immediately laughed at Eddieâs soft-spoken words, thinking that he was joking, but when he didnât join in, you were furrowing your eyebrows in confusion. âWhat?â
âThis just doesnât make sense, yâknow? Weâre graduating soon, and then weâre gonna be going in completely different directions. Youâre leaving Hawkins, and I already know that Iâm gonna be stuck here.â
You were quiet because you had no idea how to respond to that. Maybe it was only half-rightâ yes, you were going to be headed to a college that was not in Indiana at the end of the summer, but you truly couldnât imagine Eddie being âstuckâ anywhere.
âWeâre better off as friends,â He continued. âNeither of us can get hurt that way.â
It was all so surprising and felt entirely out of nowhere, but you could tell by how he said the words that he had been thinking about this for a while. There was a part of you that could understand what he meant, the sad why behind it all, so you decided to lean into that. Because, in a way, he was kind of rightâ the deeper you fell for each other, the more painful the heartbreak would be in the end, and the harder it would be to leave in August.Â
But, shit, you were already in way too deep.Â
You still felt yourself nodding in agreement with him anyway, even though it was the last thing you wanted to do. âOkay.â
âSo⊠just friends again?â
You simply nodded again and gave him a small smile. âYeah, of course. Just friends.âÂ
Now you felt so dumb for saying that, for agreeing to the idea. You couldnât be âjust friendsâ with Eddie Munson anymore.Â
There was a loud knock on the door that abruptly pulled you out of your thoughts.Â
âSorry, one sec,â You yelled out to the person on the other side.Â
You let out another breath and didnât bother looking in the mirror to see if the sadness you were feeling was written so clearly across your face. Mainly because you knew that it definitely was and it would be too hard to replace it with a fake smile, anyway.Â
A random girl was rushing in before you were even fully out of the door, and you hoped that she was doing better than you were at that moment, but it didnât entirely seem like it. Â
You decided that you wanted to go back outside and settle yourself back in your spot on the patio chair next to Robin, and you also really wanted another drink. The idea of blurring your thoughts for the rest of the night didnât sound like the worst idea ever. Â
You made your way to the stairs and before you even started heading down, you spotted Eddie walking up. He easily noticed you too and he smiled before meeting you at the top of the stairs after a second. He looked at you for a moment and then his eyebrows furrowed in concern.Â
âHey, you okay?â He asked, reaching out to place a hand on your upper arm. It was such a subtle and simple action, but it still made you feel way too many things at once. âWhatâs wrong?âÂ
âNothing, Iâm fine,â You answered, giving him a weak smile, and then immediately changed the subject so that he wouldnât question you further right then. âHowâd it go with Ally? Thatâs her name, right?âÂ
âYeah, it is. But, that ask-out completely crashed and failed because she said that she just started dating someone.âÂ
âOh, sorry,â You told him, not because you actually felt it, but because it simply felt like the right thing to say at that moment.Â
âItâs fine,â Eddie shrugged. âWhatâs the dumb saying? Thereâs other fish in the sea or whatever.â
You let out a forced kind of laugh. âYup, right.âÂ
âYou sure youâre okay?â
For a second, you considered lying again; it wouldâve been the best and simplest thing to do. You couldâve said that you werenât feeling well and you needed to just head back outside and get some airâ you shouldâve just said that. But then, suddenly, all you could think was fuck it.
âI canât do this.âÂ
He looked at you, confused. âDo what?â
âBe friends with you. I canât go back to how things were with us before we dated. And I know that I have been doing it for the past two months, but I canât anymore.â
âBut, we decidedââ
âI know,â You interrupted him. âI know what we decided, but that doesnât mean that itâs been easy to do this. To just turn off my feelings and pretend that Iâm not still in love with you.â
Surprisingly, it actually felt good to finally be honest about everything that you had forced yourself to bury over the past few months. It felt as if a weight was being lifted off of your shoulders.Â
âItâs not easy for me either.âÂ
You couldnât help but scoff and roll your eyes at Eddieâs words. âYeah, because talking to Ally out there looked really painful and hard for you.âÂ
âThat doesnâtâŠâ He trailed off as he shook his head. âThat doesnât mean anything. I promise. It doesnât mean that I donât miss you, or us.âÂ
âThen why are we even doing this right now? Whatâs the point?â
You two had somehow moved away from the stairs and instead were standing further down the hallway, closer to the bathroom that you had left barely two minutes ago.Â
âI just,â Eddie began and then sighed. âI know itâs gonna hurt like hell letting you go in a few months, and maybe doing it this way is easier. Itâs not at all easy, but maybe itâs better? I donât know. Most of the time it feels so fucking stupid, and I feel like an idiot for what I did that night⊠But, maybe it was the right thing to do.â
You considered his words for a moment. Just like that night two months ago, a part of you could recognize that he was at least a little right. But, this time you decided against leaning into the small part of you that wanted to simply agree with him because it made things seem âeasy.â
âYou know me,â You ultimately said, stepping a little closer and finding his hand. âI overthink everything. I think about every possible outcome for any and every situation. But, this is the one thing that I donât want to think that far ahead about. And maybe thatâs stupid. And maybe we will end up feeling terribly heartbroken at the end of the summer, and weâll regret not just leaving things like they are right now. But, Iâd rather that, than to keep pretending that everything is fine and normal. Somehow that feels so much worse. Why canât we just enjoy this, us, for what it is before we have to give it up?â
Eddie didnât say anything at first and that worried you. You braced yourself for the inevitable rejection, and you were already telling yourself that you would be okay with it because at least you tried this time aroundâ you had finally said the words that you wished youâd said that night.Â
But then he was kissing you. It was abrupt and sudden and you hadnât seen it coming, even though it was exactly what you wanted to happen. He was pulling his hand away from yours and immediately reaching up to cup your face in both of his hands. They were cold, but you still felt as if you were on fire.Â
It was probably only him that could affect you this much and this easily. You didnât realize how much you missed the feel of his mouth on yours and how much you missed having him close to you in this way until it was finally, finally happening again.Â
Your mind briefly traveled back to the last time this happened. It was the night before the breakup and the two of you were smoking weed in your backyard, sandwiched together in one patio chair instead of sitting in separate ones because it just felt right to do, and the close proximity allowed your lips to easily find his.
âI love you,â Eddie mumbled against your mouth now, which also reminded you of that last time. âIâm sorry I made us lose the past two months.â
Your hands were fisting themselves into his black t-shirt, pulling him impossibly closer to you. âItâs okay. Doesnât matter.â
And technically, it really didnât, at least not in your head. You were just glad to be here in this moment with him. It wasnât too late. You two still had time.Â
âItâll be okay,â You told him in between kisses. Maybe you two should have found a bedroom or simply moved anywhere that was out of the dark hallway and away from potential prying eyes, but that didnât feel like the most important thing to do right then. âWhatever happens in the end. Itâll be okay.âÂ
Eddie was nodding as he pressed you back against the wall and his hands dropped to your waist. âOkay.â

Uh-oh spaghettios, I accidentally wrote more pregnant!Buck.
+
In a shocking twist, the squirrelly-looking resident who's tasked with administering the spinal (and who Tommy keeps side-eyeing like he's mentally preparing himself to take her down if she makes any sudden movements) turns out to be a rockstar, because Buck doesn't even feel the pinch of the local anesthetic, never mind the actual horse needle. Even Nadine, their nurse, blinks after it's over and says, "I've been doing this for thirty-three years and I've never seen a spinal go that smoothly."
Which means the two weeks Buck devoted to reading Reddit posts about bad experiences with pre-C-section subarachnoid blocks were all for nothing. He could've done something more productive with that time instead of silently spiral. Like deep clean the bathroom or build a birdhouse.
He forgets to be mad about it the moment his legs start tingling, and from there it's only a few minutes before his body goes completely numb from the chest down. "Holy shit, that is so weird. It's justâit's a complete void. Babe, punch me."
One of the nurses is in the middle of putting a sterile blue scrub cap over Tommy's hair and stops what she's doing to stare at Buck in horror. Tommy just sighs through his surgical mask and says, "No thanks."
"You could stick your entire arm inside me and I wouldn't even know," Buck tells him, delighted, as they wheel him into the operating room. It really is like there's nothing below his sternum. "You could carry me around and work me like a muppet."
Dr. Esfahani must catch the second half of that because she starts laughing so hard she almost falls off the stool she's sitting on.
"Glad to see we've got our head in the game," she chortles. "How are you feeling, Evan?"
"I'm not!" He says cheerfully while two nurses set up the curtain across his belly. "Doc, have you ever had a spinal block?"
"Sadly, no." Dr. Esfahani's eyes curve above the edge of her mask. "And when I had my kids, their labors were so quick that I didn't have time for an epidural, either. Be grateful you'll never know what it's like to push the equivalent of a Ferrari through a keyhole unmedicated."
"Bad ass," Buck whispers, and she laughs again, then spends the next two minutes introducing everyone on the surgical team. They're all standing at the ready like a NASCAR pit crew.
Once the introductions are over, Dr. Esfahani turns her attention elsewhere. "How about you, Tommy? You ready?"
Tommy's sitting at Buck's shoulder like a particularly attentive German Shepherd, his gloved fingers trembling where they're slotted between Buck's. "I'll just be glad when she's out and Evan gets the all clear."
Months ago their OBGYN walked them through the reality and the risks of carrying to termâfor whatever reason, male anatomy means there's a much higher risk of atony, which means a higher risk of hemorrhagingâand Tommy's been a nervous wreck ever since. He thinks Buck doesn't know, and to his credit he's hidden it well. Not once has he ever shown Buck anything less than bright-eyed enthusiasm and excitement about starting this next chapter of their lives, but Buck has woken up more than once in the middle of the night to find himself clutched against a rabbiting heartbeat while Tommy whispered, voice cracking in half, "Please, please, God, please..."
Buck turns his head to look up at him. He looks like what's-his-name at the very end of The Departed: goofy as shit in all the sterile wear the nurses made him put on. He even has to wear the puffy shoe covers. Between the scrub cap and the mask, his face is almost completely obscured, but all it does is highlight his eyes, which are fixed on Buck like there's no one else in the world, let alone the room.
"You look so stupid," Buck says thickly, squeezing Tommy's hand hard enough that something audibly pops. For a second, he thinks he might explode from the sheer build-up of love in his body, which would be so embarrassing, considering everyone in the room is there specifically to make sure he makes it out of here intact. "I've never been more attracted to you. Wanna make out?"
"You know I would, but I don't think they'll give us new masks," Tommy murmurs, every bit as tender and sincere as he was five months into dating, when he'd interrupted Buck's passionate defense of ocean sunfish to say, "I'm in love with you. Sorry. I justâwhat were you saying about swim bladders?"
"He's right," the scrub nurse says, deadpan. "We're rationing those. You take it off, you're outta here."
Buck squints at her. "I don't think no shirt, no shoes, no service rules apply."
She squints right back. "Please tell me more about the rules of this hospital, Mr. Buckley."
"Evan, stop antagonizing the very nice, very knowledgeable person holding the tray of very sharp instruments," Tommy says. The corners of his eyes are crinkled in a specific way that means it's taking all his willpower to play the rational adult and not join in on the snarkfest.
Seriously. The human body can't hold an entire baby and all this love without serious complications, right? What if they cut into him and he just starts flying around the room like an untied balloon?
"All right, all right," Dr. Esfahani says, clapping her gloved hands together. "Time to add one more child to this veritable daycare. What do you say, Evan, Tommy? Are you ready to become parents?"
The reality of the situation hits him suddenly like a second lightning strike, and he grips Tommy's hand hard as he rides the waves of excitement and terror, inhaling and exhaling through his nose to help ground himself.
He closes his eyes and thinks of Evan Buckley of nine months ago, sliding to the floor of Tommy's bathroom and weeping bitterly because the test in his hand was a death knell for the relationship he'd finally found after searching his whole life.
If he could go back in timeâbefore Tommy got so freaked out by Buck's incoherent sobbing and the locked bathroom door that he broke it down; before Buck babbled apology after apology for his parents' negligence by not having him tested for the carrier gene, for being the one to suggest they stop using condoms in the first place, for wanting to keep it even though it meant the end of them; before Buck took the test because Chim had jokingly said earlier that day, "you've looked and acted like a wrung-out sponge all week, are you pregnant or something?" and felt like the ground was crumbling beneath his feet when the little plus sign appearedâhe would take that scared, resigned man into his arms and tell him that everything was going to be okay. Better than okay, even. Everything was going to be amazing beyond his wildest dreams.
"He stays," Buck would whisper, and hold him so tight they'd start to merge. "Not because he thinks he has to, but because he wants to. He stays because he loves you and what you've made together. You're enough. Isn't that wild?"
When Buck opens his eyes, Tommy's right there, looking at him with so much love and pride in his gaze that it's palpable. Literally. She's moving around in his belly like she's doing stretches to prepare for what's about to happen. Like she's every bit as impatient as they are to finally be part of the life they're building.
"I'm not scared if you're not," Buck rasps, and tilts his head up as Tommy leans down and kisses him through the mask.
"Speak for yourself: I'm terrified. But when has that ever stopped us?" Tommy presses another kiss to his mouth like a notary affixing an official seal. "Let's get this show on the road, huh? Let's meet our kid."
An hour and change later, they lay her, clean and perfect and swaddled into a sleepy burrito wearing a little hat, on Buck's chest where she gets to hear his heartbeat from the outside for the first time.
He stares down at her, awed speechless, and thinks, oh, now I'm going to explode from love. Everyone hit the deck.
Tommy doesn't get to hold her for almost fifteen minutes because he's crying so hard that Dr. Esfahani refuses to hand her over until she's reasonably sure Tommy won't drop her.
"I think Dad needs to take pointers from you," Buck murmurs to her tenderly. She squirms a little in a way that feels like agreement before she falls asleep, already bored with existence. "Your daughter says you're totally not the cool dad."
"That's fair," Tommy sobs into Buck's scrub cap.

time you will not spend alone
joel miller x fem!reader, 18+ mdni romance at the end of the world is this: flowers, lazy nights in bed after long days, and savoring every moment | or, joel makes you something. jackson!joel au, fem!reader, fluff, maybe a bit cheesy but idgaf, ellie cameo cause i can't do a damn thing without her, tommy gets some page time here too, smut (riding, unprotected p in v sex, some finger sucking lol), tenderness, gift giving | 5.7k a/n: i think this is the last part of the just and just as series for the foreseeable future. thank you for reading about this little au and these two lovebirds! i adore them. thank you @frannyzooey and @macfrog for your eyes and support on this. and thank you everyone else for being patient. <3
Spring sweeps into the valley seemingly overnight. The peaks remain snow-capped but the bare branches of trees between the evergreens begin to bud. Chilly mornings lose their bite and frost turns to dew and every day there is more light.
You've always thought Jackson looks its best in winter, but it's a damn sight to see as life and color return. And the latter is your favorite part -- the rolling hills outside the walls and the forest patrol paths are dotted and then overflowing with flowers.
It makes you feel more alive. Patrol isn't a freezing ordeal anymore -- it's an opportunity to see the remaining beauty in the world.
Today's shift is short and easy but you find yourself lingering, running your hands through pine needles and turning your face to the sun. Your horse is happy to munch on a patch of grass in a clearing just off the main trail, but your patrol partner is less than impressed.
"Are you serious?" Ellie moans. "You're stopping again? What the fuuuuuuuuck."
She sags in the saddle. The pout on her lips makes her look like a kid sent to bed without supper rather than an almost-twenty-year-old forced to spend some extra minutes in the fresh air. Shimmer has no problem chewing on some weeds despite her rider's moaning.
"Let me enjoy the sun," you say. "When you get older you'll appreciate the little things, too."
You hop off your horse and Ellie sighs loudly.
"Jesus, you're not that old," she mutters. "Seriously, what are you doing?"
You sweep your arms around you, gesturing at the meadow. "These flowers are nice," you tell her, pointedly. She adjusts the rifle slung over her shoulder. "I think I'm going to pick some and bring them home."
She snorts. "Oh, is Joel suddenly into flowers?"
You ignore her bait and crouch, gaze sweeping over the array of colors in front of you. You tried to learn the names of flowers years ago when you found a book on them in an old bookstore but they never stuck. Purples, pinks, and yellows, large petals and small ones, delicate yet hardy to survive the world past its end.
Joel isn't a fussy man. Young fathers don't get to be, and anyone alive these days sheds that impulse just as quickly. He's happy to wake up every day with you by his side, his kid in the garage out back and walls around everything he loves, keeping it all safe.
It makes it both easy and hard to please him -- you want to give him everything but he seems to want nothing. A perfect paradox, a puzzle to solve.Â
God, you love him. You love spring, you love Joel. Everything feels good.
So, you start to gather stems, snapping them at their bases, humming as you work.
"How do you choose which ones to pick?"
"Fuck," you gasp, careening forward onto one palm and looking over your shoulder. Ellie is off her horse and much closer than before, standing directly behind you. "Jesus, you're stealthy."
She shrugs, her smirk a pleased slash across her face. "You're oblivious as fuck."
You roll your eyes at her.
"Seriously," Ellie says, crossing her arms. She jerks her chin at the small bouquet you've got in one hand. "How do you make it look so nice?"
"Oh, so we've moved on from the making-fun-of-me part of this?"
She crouches next to you, elbows on her knees.
"I, uh -- " Her cheeks go pink, freckles standing out against her blush. "Dina likes flowers."
You bump her shoulder with yours. "I'm going to be so nice and not tease you."
"Fuck off," she scoffs, tucking her smile into her shoulder.
It's quick work. Ellie follows your lead, balances out the blooms she picks with some leafy weeds. She ties them together with one of the minimum four spare hairbands she has on her person at all times -- bits of cloth, occasionally a rare unused elastic from before if she's found some on patrol.
"Isn't it kinda shitty?" she muses, nimble fingers turning her bouquet this way and that to admire it. "We're killing them. The flowers, I mean."
"Little late to have a conscience about killing," you say lightly. The two rabbits she pulled from Jackson snares hang from her saddle. You've seen her in action, too -- gun raised, hands steady, blood splattered across her cheek. It's not an accusation, far from it. Violence is a language you both speak, one she's known for most of her still-short life.
She rolls her eyes, every bit a teenager. "Whatever."
You sigh. "You're right, though," you say. "There were whole shops dedicated to this before. Selling flowers, making bouquets and centerpieces and all that shit."
She probably knows this, but she lets you describe it. Ellie soaks up bits of the old world like it will materialize before her if she listens hard enough. Joel says it was much worse when she was younger, right after they settled into Jackson. She wanted details about everything and watched every movie she could get her hands on. You think she was satisfying her curiosity, sure, but also that she was trying to understand him better -- but didn't know how to say so.
"Weird," she mutters. "And you just...bought them for other people?"
"Or yourself." You pat her shoulder and stand. Your horse tries to nibble on your flowers before you haul yourself back in the saddle. "It was just a nice thing to do, I guess."
"Killing something to make someone else happy," Ellie says with a dry laugh. She tucks her bouquet in the crook of her arm once she's back in the saddle. "I guess everyone does that these days."
It's absurd when she puts it that way, but it's true. You've all got blood on your hands. You would kill for this girl, for Joel, for pretty much anyone in Jackson. And you have.
The flowers are for Joel, they're for your house, they're for you. Something beautiful to bring home alongside your dirt stains and scarred hands, your haunted eyes and nightmares. No one is spared those.
It's only mid-morning by the time you get back to the wall. You and Ellie left at dawn, short sticks drawn for the early shift. She leaves you in the stables with a mock salute and a shout of thanks, practically jogging to Dina's to give her the flowers.
You're untacking your horse when you hear familiar laughter, a deep chuckle and Ellie's faint indignant protest.
"Mornin'," Joel says from behind you. "Was hopin' to catch you at the gate."
"Can you hold these?"
You blindly extend the hand with the flowers. His fingers carefully extract the bouquet and you return to brushing out your horse.
"Does this have somethin' to do with Ellie runnin' out of her with flowers of her own?"
"Never let anyone say you're unobservant, Joel Miller."
He snickers. You leave your horse with a final pat on the neck and thanks for a job well done.
When you face Joel, he looks tired -- he's been pulling extra long days replacing windows and roof tiles after the winter's damage. God knows that man never seems fully rested, but it's a little worse when the seasons change.
He's told you time and time again that standing two stories off the ground is a hell of a lot safer than fighting some Infected on patrol, but you still worry. Just like you know he worries about you beyond the walls, how he's a little tenser whenever you're not in sight, whenever he hasn't seen Ellie for a few days âcause they're both busy. It's just how he loves. It's how you both love.
You make no move to take the flowers from him, instead brushing some sawdust from his shoulder.
"Did you have a job already?" you ask.
"Small one. Fixin' a crooked over mailbox." He looks pointedly at his full fist. "You gonna explain now?"
"They're for you."
Joel blinks once, twice, brows furrowing like you're speaking a different language. Maybe a few years ago you'd start to feel self-conscious, unsure of your romantic gesture and insecure in his reaction. But now, as fully in love and connected to this man as you are, you lean in.
"If you're too manly to carry flowers through town --"
You make to take them from him but he snaps out of his daze and wraps an arm around your shoulders, pulling you to his chest in a smooth motion.
He also holds the bouquet in the air and out of reach.
"Hey, now," he says. "Hands off. These ain't your flowers."
"I picked 'em," you remind him, poking him in the ribs for good measure.Â
He flinches just a little but doesn't move. His embrace is warm and familiar and you sink into it. "Gettin' romantic," he mutters and brings the flowers back down to eye level to examine them.
"I'm just trying to catch up to you," you say into his jacket. He huffs and his palm rubs a slow line up and down your arm.
You wiggle out of his embrace to shoulder your pack.
"I am pretty romantic," he muses.
It's true. Even if he's joking and even if no one but you gets to see it, Joel has always made sure you feel loved. Courtship and romance look different these days, but it still comes naturally to him -- loving. Dinner dates, jewelry, and trips to the airport have become a battered paperback, a sharpened knife, and bloody knuckles, but it rings just as true. He loves you and he loves his family the best way he knows how â by keeping you all safe.
And you do your best to convey the same thing. You tell him, of course, but you also mend his shirts and chop wood when his back is acting up, and you look after his kid like she's your own.
Joel deserves to know that he can receive all that he gives, too â the protection, the tenderness, the beauty. Moments of softness and rest where he knows heâs taken care of, thought of, that he matters beyond the things he can do for everyone else.
So, you also do things like bring him flowers.
Sometimes you feel like it will never be enough. You will never have enough time to show him how much he means to you, how he's saved you, how important and cherished and loved he is. How good he is.
Joel reaches for your face with his free hand. He traces the line of your cheekbone with his thumb and smirks when you inhale sharply. Another patrol returns and the stables are suddenly louder and more crowded than before. If you're both free for the rest of the day, you want to drag him up to your bedroom and spend the hours there. You want to show him, for the millionth time, how much you love him.
"Okay, Mr. Pretty Romantic," you say, grabbing his hand and tangling your fingers together. "Let's go home."
___
Joel is hiding something from you.
The flowers last for a week and you watch him eye them and smile every time he enters the kitchen.
But after they droop and go in the compost pile, something shifts. Something subtle, sure, but you spend most of your waking hours looking for or at Joel, so you notice.
He starts keeping his workshop door closed. Normally you'll sit and watch him work, or he'll teach you a few chords here and there on the guitars he's making, but your lessons move to the porch and the upstairs hallway loses the scent of wood glue and stain.
In fact, he actively steers you away from the room altogether. He's all just needs a deep clean and it's messy, is all. It's not rocket science -- he's making something for you, clearly. But giving him a hard time is too fun to pass up.
One night, you and Ellie wait at the bottom of the stairs. There's a dinner and movie night in the old church and you're taking the opportunity to make it a family outing.
"You coming?" you holler up the stairs. You hear the door creak open.
"Gimme a second," he calls back down.
"Jesus," you mutter. You tap the side of Ellieâs sneaker with your boot. "You know anything about that?"
Honesty is important between all of you, but you know Joel and Ellie need to have their secrets. There is too much tangled history between them for you to understand it all. It's important to you that they have a relationship all their own, even if it means they scheme.
Ellie is examining her switchblade with intense focus. "I might," she says with a smirk. "He's a lovesick loser, I'll tell you that."
You lean on the banister and raise your eyebrows. "Do you remember when you asked me how to embroider so you could put Dina's name on her jacket?"
The knife swings closed with a snick and she rolls her eyes at you, cheeks pink.
"Shit, dude," she says. "Why do I tell you anything?"
"She liked the flowers, though, didn't she?"
Ellie crosses her arms and smiles at whatever memory she's seeing in her mind. "Yeah," she says. "She did. Jesse gave me so much shit, though --"
The door upstairs closes and Joel's heavy footfalls cut her off.
"Finally," you grumble. He trods down the stairs, arms half in his jacket when he catches sight of the two of you. "Are you hiding state secrets in there?"
"What the fuck does that mean?" Ellie asks.
"Might be," is all he says. He's got that twinkle in his eye that means mischief but he looks proud of himself. You can let him have this, whatever this is. You trust him and you'll find out eventually.
"Alright," you say, pushing off the banister and heading for the door. "You're going to breathe toxic fumes with the door closed."
"No, seriously," Ellie says. "What kind of secrets would a state be keeping?"
"Ain't nothin' toxic in there," he says lightly. He bumps Ellie's shoulder with his. "C'mon."
She throws her hands up in the air. "You know, it's shitty when you ignore me."
"Did you hear somethin'?" Joel says to you.
You shake your head, swallowing your laughter. "No," you say. "Nothing."
"Assholes." She pushes past you and down the steps onto the street. "I'm going to make sure there are no mashed potatoes left when you get there."
__
You don't mind letting Joel do whatever he's up to in all of his spare moments. It does mean you have more time to yourself, so you pick up some extra wall shifts.
And when one of those shifts is with Tommy? Well, you can't help but needle him a little bit about it all.
"Do you know what your brother is up to?" you ask him.
The wind today carries some lingering winter bite, so you've got the collar of your coat pulled up around your ears. Tommyâs hair whips around his face when he raises his eyebrows at you.
"Gonna have to be more specific," he says. "My brother is always up to some shit."
"I think he'd say the same thing about you."
Tommy laughs. He's got the reputation for being the more easy-going of the Millers, but you know he's more a match for Joel than most think. Out in the world, they work as one, silent and deadly, always in step when it counts. They still speak a language all their own with just a look and you see so much of them in each other when you pay attention.
"Well, I learned it all from him," he says. He adjusts his grip on the rifle and sighs. "I happen to know what you're talkin' 'bout, though."
"Is he just telling everyone but me?"
"Nah," Tommy scoffs. "Asked me and Ellie for help, s'all. And you know he tells that girl everythin'."
You both smile for a moment at your fondness for them.
Tommy clears his throat. "Does it bother you? Him keepin' a secret?"
You know Tommy won't let your answer get back to Joel. He's asking as your friend, as your kind-of brother. He's asking because he cares.
A patrol crests the hill, green flag waving in the air. They whistle and shout for the gate to be opened.Â
You step closer to Tommy so he can hear you. "No," you say. "I just like to gossip."
"Don't I know it," he chuckles. "You two are the eyes and ears of this damn town. Knowin' everything."
"Except what happens in my own home," you tease.Â
He shrugs. "You'll like it, if that helps," he adds.
"I know I will."
You look out at the world beyond the wall and smile to yourself.Â
Joel has made you a few things over the years. He works wonders with his hands all the time: Beautiful, intricate carvings for the house, for Ellie, for new babies in town. The wall of guitars, not to mention the ones he's made for kids to learn on in school. You're better at sewing than he is, but he's pretty damn good â fixing up pillowcases and blankets and clothes of all kinds. Joel is a craftsman.
Hands that hold you can also pull a trigger, punch until there's nothing left, and craft a work of art.
And he knows you. He pays attention -- there is a reason behind everything he does. If he's making you something, you know you'll love it.
"Strange, ainât it?" Tommy says. You turn to him, a question on your face. "World ended and here we all are, happy. Makin' shit for each other. Gosspin'."
You sigh. âTook a lot to get here.â
âDamn right,â he says with a long whistle. âLotta shit behind us.â
âDo you ever regret it?â you ask.Â
Tommy considers your words. You two talk plenty, but youâve never really spoken about the past. Joel tells you whatever you want to hear about the years before you knew him, so youâve got a pretty good picture of their lives after the outbreak.
"Can I tell you somethinâ?â Tommy asks. You nod. "Alright. I â I never thought I'd see my brother this happy again. And I wish every damn day that Sarah was here to see it. To know him this way, to meet Maria. To know you and Ellie."
Joel has said the same thing before and itâs an honor greater than you can ever explain.
"When I saw him and that girl a few years ago, I thought --" Tommy clears his throat. "I thought maybe heâd made it through all the shit we did. And I was right. She brought him through it. And now heâs here, doinâ stable life shit we dreamed about before."
"Ellie is a force," you say, a little surprised to find your voice watery. The love between Ellie and Joel is fierce and powerful, evident to anyone who witnesses it. They would do anything for each other, even though they're mending.
"She is," he says. "And so are you.â He sighs and runs a hand through his hair. âShit, I donât know where Iâm goinâ with this. Point is â seein' him love you, too, shows me heâs through it. He's alive again, you know? And Iâd do all the shit we did over again just to get us all here. So, no. I donât regret it."
Itâs nothing you havenât thought before, but the words work their way into your heart and sit there, heavy and warm.
âDamn,â you say. You swallow and give him a wide smile. "If you keep going, Tommy Miller, I will start crying and that would embarrass us both."
He laughs and blinks a few times. You join in, wiping your eyes.
"Alright, I won't," he says. "Jesus, all you did was ask what he's doin' in that workshop."
You clap him on the shoulder. "I won't tell anyone you started blubbering on duty."
He snorts. "Ain't that generous of you.â
__
Days pass. A week. You almost forget about Joel's project because he spends less and less time in the workshop and more on tasks around town as the days get longer. You're both busy -- chopping wood, planting bulbs for the fall, helping de-shed the horses. There's always work to be done.
After a particularly long day on your feet, you come out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel to find he's gotten home while you were in the shower.
"Hey, stranger," you say. You're mostly dry but some water drips down your back and you shiver. Joel is leaning against the headboard on top of the sheets without his shirt, reading whatever book he's onto now.
"Didn't hear me come in?" he asks. He sets his volume aside and pulls off his glasses.
"I was too busy coming back to life under some hot water." He probably heard you singing off-key to some long-lost song stuck in your head for the millionth time. "And you're quiet as hell, Joel."
He shrugs.
You just look at each other, the intimate gaze of two people who know every inch of each other and never tire of it.
The sleep pants he wears to bed this time of year are lightweight, thin enough that you can see the outline of him from here. His stomach is soft where he's bent at the waist and the trail of hair above his waistband is dark, darker than the rest of what's on his chest.
The golden expanse of his skin just begs to be touched, so you make your way over to him in your towel. He makes room for you to perch on the edge of the bed, the bare skin of your thigh pressing into his pants. His palm rests on your knee.
"I haven't seen much of you lately," you say softly. "âCause of that damn thing you're working on."
His fingers press into your skin.
"Ain't patience a virtue, or something like that?"
"Whatever magic you're working better be worth waiting for," you tease.
Joel's hand resumes its path up your leg and he smirks.
"I can work some magic right now," he says.
You laugh, throwing your head back as his fingertips edge under the towel.
"That was awful," you say. "I should get dressed in all of my layers right now and go sleep on the couch."
You pull away from his touch so you can straddle him, your towel only held on by one hand at your breasts.
Joel snickers. "But then I wouldn't be able to do this."
Nimble fingers find your cunt between your spread legs and you gasp a laugh, one hand on his shoulder to balance you in his lap.
"Smooth," you manage. His other hand tugs on the towel and you release it, your slightly damp skin breaking out into goosebumps in the air of the bedroom.
Joel drags his lips between your breasts and you feel his smile.
"Christ," he says. "You comin' outta there in just a towel and you expect me to go to sleep?"
He pulls his fingers from you and frames your face with both hands to drag it down to his in a lazy, thorough kiss, like he's savoring each moment.
His tongue traces the seam of your lips and you let him in readily, arms wrapping around his shoulders as you grind down on the hardness you can feel through his pants.
"I've missed you," you say, dragging your tongue along down his jaw. His fingertips press into your bare hips hard enough to bruise, but it's a grounding touch rather than an urgent one. You want to take your time because you have missed him, and you think he feels the same way.
"Sorry, sweetheart," Joel groans, dragging your lips back to his. "It'll be worth it."
You pull back to look him in the eyes. The hazel-grey is almost totally taken over by his pupil, but his gaze softens when you cup his cheek and smile.
"I know," you say, and mean it. Naked in his lap in your bedroom, you mean it. You always mean it. You always trust him.
Joel kisses you once, twice, and you pull on his lower lip with your teeth when he pulls away. His nostrils flare and before you can tug his cock from his pants, he holds two fingers out to you.
You laugh, circling his wrist and bringing the digits past your lips. You swirl your tongue around them and really take your time with it, laving at his knuckles before releasing them with a pop.
His cock twitches beneath you and he huffs.
"You're an easy man to please, Joel Miller," you tell him, tugging down his pants and letting his shaft spring free. You stroke him root to tip and he hisses.
"Nah," he manages. "It's âcause it's you."
He follows his words with a circle of your clit from his spit-slick fingers.
"See?" you gasp. "Romantic."
It's a bit crowded, his hand rubbing your clit and yours slowly jerking him, but neither of you rush it. You pant together, dotting lazy kisses on any piece of bare skin you can reach. You breathe him in, the combination of sweat and gun oil and fresh detergent that's just Joel. A rush of tenderness hits you so suddenly your nose stings.
"Joel," you say, a bit ragged. "Joel, can you --"
A gentle hand on your face brings your foreheads together, his eyes on yours.
"Whatever you want," he groans. "Whatever you want, it's yours."
You can't help it -- you laugh. Brightly and happily, almost in disbelief that this man is yours. Real and solid under you right now, beside you every night. Yours to love and cherish and all the rest.
"You laughin' at me?" he grumbles, though you can tell he's fighting a smile.
"I just love you, is all," you say. You probably don't say it enough. You and Joel show each other every day, so much so that you can't imagine he doesn't know. As it is, you feel loved by him with every move he makes, every time he looks in your direction, every time he says your name.
"And I want you to fuck me," you add.
It's Joel's turn to laugh.
"Now who's the romantic one?" he says.Â
You rise from his lap and settle onto your back on the other side of the bed, stretching with your hands above your head.
His eyes follow the line of your bare body, fondness and hunger recognizable in his gaze.
"Always so damn pretty," he grumbles. "Prettiest thing I've ever seen."
"Flirt," you tease.
He rises to his knees and pumps his cock a few times with his fist. You spread your legs for him, knees bent up against your chest.
He settles between your knees and you lock them around his hips. Joel honest-to-god winks at you before dragging two fingers through your folds to make sure you're slick enough.
"Ready?"
You nod. He enters you in one practiced move and you groan in unison as you adjust. It takes some shuffling but he finds a position he can hold, and you wrap your arms around his neck.
Joel fucks you slow and deep. Each drag of his cock against your walls curls your toes and drags whines from both of your throats. He keeps up his usual babel -- doin' so good, feel like a dream, so damn tight, cunt's a fuckin' miracle -- and you press your hands into his bare back like he's a life raft.
Sweat beats on your brow, your chest, everywhere, and you suck bruises into his neck as his thrusts get a little frantic. Your own orgasm sneaks up on you, the pressure building and building and building until it snaps without warning.
"Joel -- Joel, fuck, I --"
You clench around him and he chants your name, that's it, baby, come on my cock, and buries himself to the hilt to finish inside you.
He hovers above you on trembling arms long enough to press a sweet kiss to your lips before rolling off of you.
"Now I'm ready for bed," you say, panting.
You fling a hand out lazily and it lands on his chest. He intertwines your fingers and his gaze finds yours. You smile as you get your breathing under control.
Joel smooths your brow with a thumb. "Don't forget to --"
"I know, I know," you say. "C'mon, you know this isn't my first rodeo." You get up from the bed and head to the bathroom.
"You sayin' I'm a bull?" Joel calls after you.
"Save a horse, ride a cowboy!" you holler back, cleaning yourself up. "Didn't people used to say that?"
Joel doesn't answer you but you laugh at your own joke. You make your way back to the bed in old pyjamas and find him back in his sweatpants, feet flat on the floor like he's about to get up and go somewhere.
"Joel?"
He sighs, his shoulders moving up and down like he's bracing himself.
"It's done," he says. "Your surprise."
The confession stops you in your tracks.
"Oh?"
You know Joel better than mosty, but sometimes he's still a puzzle. The hesitation, the slight air of anxiety about him as he says it confuses you. Because Joel is good at taking care of people, and he has to know it -- those years he and Ellie didn't speak you know he left her things, know that he took care of her from afar as much as she would let him. It's just what he does, he uses his hands to beat and shoot and bloody â but also to carve and hold and love.
They're the same thing, really.
And he's made you something â one of countless gifts he's given you, tangible and not, throughout your relationship.
But he's nervous. As if you wouldn't love anything he made, anything he does. As if you're not gone over every part of him.
"Hm," he says. "Yeah. Let me --"
Joel gets up from the bed and pads over to the dresser to rummage around in a drawer. You meet him back on the bed and he's holding a square-ish parcel wrapped in cloth.
You gingerly take it from him.
"This is what you've been working on?" you ask softly. He nods.
You unwrap the cloth and find yourself holding leather-bound journal. The hide is smooth under your fingertips, scraped clean by hand and tanned a dark chestnut.The spine is about an inch wide, the whole thing swen together with neat stitches of what can only be catgut. A thinner strip of leather is wrapped around the cover and tucked into itself carefully. It must have taken him ages to make.Â
"Joel," you gasp. "It's...god, it's beautiful."
He tells you how he found it on patrol a few weeks ago. The cover was fucked but the paper was somehow fine, so he dried out the pages and rebound it with a hide he tanned himself. You run your hands over it again almost like you can feel his fingerprints all over it, the hours he poured into the pages.
The inside cover falls open easily when you undo the tie and you see letters in the bottom left corner of it. Your eyes sting.
Joel has carefully burned your name into the leather, each letter perfectly lined up with the next. You haven't had something with your name on it in years.
He clears his throat. "Ellie said she'd give you some of her pens. Show you how to refill 'em."
You look up from your gift and find so much love on his face you can hardly stand it. He was inside you not that long ago and somehow this is more intimate. You surge forward into his space and wrap an arm around his shoulders, burying your face in his neck.
"I don't know what to say," you confess. "Just -- thank you."
He runs his hand along your spine.
"S'nothin'," he says. "Just saw it and thought of you, is all."
You release him and shake your head in disbelief. This man.
"What should I write in it?"
Joel's cheeks darken a little. Of course he's thought of everything.
"Figured you could write about...all this." He waves a hand in the air like that explains anything.
"All what?"
He shrugs one bare shoulder.
"Life," he says. "Jackson. Folks here. Might be nice, havin' the memories."
You scoot closer to him so you're almost in his lap again.
"You want me to write down the gossip?" You mean it as a joke but Joel nods.
"You pay attention," he explains. "Someone's gotta."
You're not much of a writer anymore, haven't had cause to be in twenty years. But you do like to tell stories. You both do.Â
The pages are soft under your fingertips as you flip through them again. You're going to fill them with stories -- about this town, about Joel and Ellie and Tommy and the people you love. The people you've lost, too. The memories that hurt like bruises, like fresh wounds. But the good stuff, too. The gossip, the love stories, the plants in the yard and the flowers on the trails.
Joel has given you the ability to record your lives.
You reach over him to set the journal on the nightstand before you frame his face with both of your hands.
"I'm going to write pages and pages about you, Joel Miller," you whisper.
He huffs, cheeks warm under your palms. "That's borin'."
You shake your head and lean in until your lips brush and your eyes flutter shut.
"That's the story," you say. "That's my life. This is my life. You are."
âI love you,â he breathes. âSo damn much. Yâknow that?â
How could you not? You say so and kiss him firmly but without hurry. Youâve got lots of time. Youâve got forever.

Rumours
Aemond Targaryen x (Ex)Wife
Chapter VI: Storms đŒ Masterlist
Summary: Aemondâs wife left him following an explosive fight last week, and he hasnât been able to find rest since.
Warnings: 18+, AFAB reader, she/her pronouns, depictions of a toxic relationship, possessive Aemond, shitty and useless coping mechanisms, reference to violence and injuries
Word count: 2300
A/N: Thank you always sweet sweet Justine (@theoneeyedprince) for looking this over and giving me ideas đ€ ILY! The lyrics are interwoven with the story in this chapter, hope it makes sense! As you can tell, this is set a week after his wife left him, and before he wrote his new songs for RumoursâŠ
âEvery night that goes between, I feel a little lessâ
8 hours and 25 minutes.
Thatâs how much sleep heâd gotten in the last week.
Since the fight.
Fights. Plural.
It wasnât the first time heâd gotten into a physical altercation with his brother. His childhood memories are tainted by endless disputes, especially after their father died, back when Aegon would sneak out to get drunk while their mother worried sick at home.
Why was his brother seemingly incapable of behaving well? Aemond saw how his mother worried herself sick over her oldest son, while also having to deal with grieving the loss of her husband, and navigate the internal political turmoil the death of such an influential man left behind. And Aegon couldnât even spare her further heartache.
Fucking pathetic excuse of a man.
It was, however, the first time he had hurt his wife. Physically, that is. Sheâd told him heâd hurt her before, when his jealousy got the best of him.
He knows heâs crossed a line. As soon as he lost his temper and threw that plate against the wall. Dangerously close to where she was standing.
He regrets it all. Why did it even have to happen in the first place? If she had just cooperated with him; worked with him instead of against him. Instead of hiding things from him, talking with Tyland behind his back.
He always knew that sheâd leave. One day.
Heâd never leave her.
Frustrated, Aemond lets out a quiet sigh and gets up from the bed, moving to sit on the edge, slouching as he places his head in his hands. He suddenly notices how quiet the room is; the loud thoughts echoing in his mind momentarily disappear as he ponders what he could do instead of sleeping.
He moves quietly to not wake Alys next to him, whose heavy breathing provides the only real sounds in the room. It is almost eerily quiet now that he thinks about it; such a stark contrast to the insufferable buzzing of thoughts roaming around in his head.
Rest doesnât come to him anymore. ïżŒ
His mind canât provide him with any repose. Not even for a second.
He closes the door to the bedroom with a quiet âclickâ and exits, moving towards the balcony connected to the large, open-plan living room.
She had picked this apartment, together with him.
Our home.
The memories of going to look at cabinets for the kitchen together, choosing a sofa together, fucking on said sofa, overtake his mind before he can distract himself.
âAs you slowly go away from meâ
When he realised that sheâd left and wouldnât come back, he tried to erase her from the space, shoving all of her belongings into one of the wardrobes in the spare bedroom.
He couldnât bear to throw them out. He couldnât bear to see them either. Sheâd left behind everything heâd ever given her; all gifts heâd carefully picked out for her. Seeing her wedding ring on top of the kitchen island, next to the divorce papers and the shattered plate on the floor had made his stomach turn when he came home from the hospital.
âThis is only another testâ
Heâd suffered much harsher trials than this.
When he lost his eye in a car crash at only 10 years old, he suffered through the most excruciating pain of his life. He had to relearn everything; how to focus his gaze, how to read and write without developing a headache, how to play his favourite sports without running into his opponents. ïżŒ
Heâd managed all that, yet this time he felt consumed by an aching sense of dread.
A hopelessness deep in his chest.
âEvery night you do not comeâ
It was all too late. No turning back.
âYour softness fades awayâ
He knows that the aching dread is the longing he feels for her. The thought of never touching her again, never being close to her again. ïżŒ
Never being in her embrace again.
He feels a chill run through his body as he settles on the armchair placed by the wall, overlooking the bright lights of Kingâs Landing.
Reaching for the pack of cigarettes on the nearby table, he takes one out and lights it before taking a long drag, closing his eyes and letting his head fall back to rest against the back of the chair.
Sheâd chosen the patio furniture as well.
He fucking resents himself in this moment. Why is his body, his mind, incapable of doing what he wants? Forget her. She sure as hell wants to forget him.
âDid I ever really care that muchâ
âIs there anything left to sayâ
When she left during the fight backstage last week, he had wanted to run after her. But then he threw one quick glance at his older brother, and could barely see his expression due to all the blood smeared over his face.
He called out to him, but Aegon didnât answer, laying limply on the old leather sofa with one arm hanging from the side and his mouth open. That was when Jace had come back in, face turning white in an instance as he was confronted with the scene before him, pulling out his phone from his pocket with a shaky hand to call an ambulance.
Aemond went with his brother to hospital, waiting by his side until he regained consciousness while trying to calm his distressed mother and wide-eyed sister. They had looked at him in the same way she had; eyes filled with animosity. He could barely meet their gazes as shame left his cheeks scalding.
âEvery hour of fear I spendâ
âMy body tries to cryâ
All he could think of at that moment was coming home. Home to her. To her warmth.
âLiving through each empty nightâ
âA deadly call insideâ
He takes another drag of his cigarette. Not being able to sleep, to eat, to think clearly is so foreign to him. Itâs like when he lost his eye; he has to relearn everything. How to fucking breath.
Thereâs this restlessness inside him that wonât disappear, no matter how hard he tries to exorcise it. Heâd tried going for walks; his usual go-to when he needed to clear his mind.
On one of those walks heâd smoked an entire pack of cigarettes.
How much time had passed? How long had he been out? He could hardly remember where heâd gone, what heâd seen or what time of day itâd been.
Heâs lucky to have grown up in the centre of Kingâs Landing, knowing every street by heart, intuition leading his steps as he eventually finds his way back home. To an empty flat, haunted only by the memory of her.
She haunts him worst internally though, through his own mind.
There, in the eye of his mind, he sees his greatest fear; her with another man.
Any time he closes his eyes, the same image greets him; her, naked in the arms of another, throwing her head back in bliss.
She sighs and moans, letting her new man know how good heâs making her feel. She tells him too; that heâs the best sheâs ever had.
She runs her hand down his cheek, unmarred and smooth. No harshly red scar, no unpleasant raised skin. Someone pretty, like her.
âI havenât felt this way I feelâ
âSince many a years agoâ
He tried drinking; Aegonâs lobotomy of choice.
After downing two bottles of the Dornish red heâd received from some business associate when he was still working with his grandfather, he found sleep for 1 hour and 12 minutes before waking up with a racing heart and body covered in a slick sheet of cold sweat.
He would have tried talking to someone, if the only person he wanted to speak to hadnât blocked his number. Heâd realised that after being connected directly to voicemail each time he called her. That didnât stop him from leaving messages though. First, they were filled with apologies and promises of never losing his cool again, of being better for her, of reassurance that he loves her. But as he grew to understand that she wouldnât come back, his frustrations got the best of him.
He called her just to scream at her, into the nothingness that was her disconnected voicemail.
âI always knew youâd leave me! You fucking liarâ, he spat as he threw his phone against the same wall heâd smashed the plate against.
It doesnât matter. Sheâll never hear them anyway.
The tiny bit of relief he felt afterwards hadnât made any significant difference. He still couldnât sleep, couldnât find even a moment of tranquillity.
He places the cigarette between his teeth as he reaches forward to grab the notebook on the patio table next to his seat.
Thereâs one thing he still hasnât tried.
As he plucks the pencil from where it's hanging on the side of the hardcover, he begins writing without thinking too much of whatâs coming out, letting his hand guide his thoughts as he brings his plagued mind down on the paper.
âIn those years and the lifetimes pastâ
âI did not deal with you, I knowâ
âThough the love has always beenâ
His most recent attempt at finding respite from his mind was sleeping in his bed.
Our bed, he corrects himself with a wince.
Heâd met Alys Rivers, manager at Riverland Creative Agency, earlier that day when he stopped for a drink during his quotidian nightly walk. She recognised him instantly, swiftly approaching him to mask her true intentions with some saccharine small talk. He knew she wanted to inquire about his bandâs management; if they were satisfied with Tyland or if theyâd be persuaded into joining her instead.
But all he could focus on was her hand casually placed on his shoulder as she spoke, her large, green eyes locking with his as she playfully teased him about his stoicism.
The heat radiating from her palm alone lit a fire inside of him, but rather than lust, he felt something akin to longing.
Yearning.
For warmth.
He asked her if sheâd like to have a drink at his house, and when she replied with a wink and a cheeky retort, he knew sheâd give him what he craved.
âSo I search to find an answer thereâ
âSo I can truly winâ
Alys didnât feel like her. Didnât set the fire within him ablaze. Nor did she extinguish it. He didnât feel better; he felt the same.
Restless.
Uneasy.
Different.
Broken.
âEvery hour of fear I spendâ
âMy body tries to cryâ
âLiving through each empty nightâ
âA deadly call insideâ
His hand moves on its own accord, words pouring out from him without having a chance to pass through his consciousness.
âSo I try to say goodbye, my friendâ
âIâd like to leave you with something warmâ
Maybe he never gave her comfort?
Maybe all he did was take?
No. He knows heâs been a dutiful husband. Heâs always been by her side, supporting her no matter what.
Unlike his own father; a shitty husband who was more of a burden on his motherâs shoulders than a pillar to lean on. Aemond knows that heâs nothing like his father. He gave his marriage his all; he never neglected his wife. ïżŒ
He gave her all of him.
âBut never have I been a blue calm seaâ
âIâve always been a stormâ
But she didnât want his love. She didnât appreciate all heâd done for her. She didnât understand him, not really. If she did, she wouldnât shut him out like this.
Fuck her selfishness.
When he left his grandfather's firm to pursue music full-time, Otto Hightower had threatened to disown him, telling him that heâd make sure all ties Aemond had to the Hightower name would be cut off.
All he knew was how to be a good son and grandson. How to please his grandfather and mother. But when he confided in her about his predicament, asking her for advice on how to handle his grandfather's wrath, sheâd cupped his cheeks and gazed into his eyes as she reassured,
âI am your family now, Aemond. Weâll always have each otherâ ïżŒ
Liar.
He feels bile rise in the back of his throat as he keeps writing, allowing the feelings he didnât know how to express some outlet. The thought of her now makes him feel sick.
âAlways been a stormâ
âWe were frailâ
He feels stupid; blinded by the light of her love.
âShe said, âEvery night he will break your heartââ
âI should have known from the first, Iâd be the broken heartedâ
Being given such warmth from another person. Thatâs what made him addicted to her.
Heâd never experienced that before, not even from his mother or sister. There was always this restraint; this rift between them, for as long as he could remember.
But she let him in with open arms; let him into her comfort without resistance.
And now sheâd taken that away from him.
âI loved you from the startâ
Looking at the lyrics written down in front of him, he doesnât feel better. His shoulders donât feel lighter. His chest doesnât feel less tight. All he knows is that she did this. She promised to be by his side forever and broke that vow.
He leans back in the chair, fiddling with his lighter in one hand as he reads over the text again. What would she say if she saw how much she hurt him?
Would she come back?
The fleeting thought makes a tight knot form in his throat and he swallows forcefully to make it go away.
Sheâll never come back.
He picks up the paper, letting the fire from the lighter in his other hand grace over the bottom corner, and sets it alight.
A/N: No, this is not a song form Rumours đ€ but technically he doesnât record it, so I think itâs fair! Tysm for reading đ©”

You made your choice
Gojo x fem!reader
Part 2
Previous part
Word count: 2.4K
Summary: you asked Gojo who is more important to him, you or his bestfriend. He indirectly chose and now he's experiencing consequences of his own action (probably for the first time in his life).
Warnings: bad grammar (possibly), typos, angst, very little comfort
Taglist: @ilovebattinson @catobsessedlady @abcdefghijklmmopqrstuvwxyz @nanao4k
A/N: I recomend listening to this song while reading (was listening to it while coming up with the story, the song and the story aren't exact copies of eachother but the vibe is about the same) and to those who know me THE LINK IS SAFE TO CLICK I DIDN'T LINK IT WITH WHAT YOU THINK I SWEAR. Enjoy the reading đ
"Hey, can I come over?"
"Dude, you were just here!"
"I know, I know. But I need a shoulder to cry on."
"Damn, that bad? What happened? You and Y/N had a fight or...?"
"Can I just come over?"
"Yeah, sure. I'll leave the door unlocked."
Geto Suguru has had a lot of weird moments with his best friend, but that phone call certainly was...something. No explanation, no joking around, just straight to the point.
About fifteen minutes later he heard his front door open.
"Satoru, did you learn how to teleport or something? We live an hour away from eachother," Geto joked before he could even turn around and see the state his friend was in. Disheveled hair, dry lips, red eyes. Something terrible must've happened.
"It's Y/N," was all Gojo said before he sat down at the dining table.
"Figured that much," replied Geto and took a seat next to him and waited. He knew Gojo. That man can't shut his mouth to save his own life. He'll spill everything sooner or later.
Gojo let his head fall on top of Geto's and sighed. Geto patted his fluffy white hair and kept on waiting. Good thing was they both sat right across a big window. Geto could count pine cones on the nearby trees while he waited for Gojo to open up.
It didn't take long.
"Y/N left."
"WHAT?!" Geto pushed the white head off of his shoulder and took Gojo by the shoulders. "What happened? What did you do?" He stared him in the eye.
Gojo just blinked. "I don't know! I don't think I did anything wrong," he looked oit the window again. A squirell jumped from one branch to another.
Geto rolled his eyes and turned Gojo's face back to his. "Satoru, people don't just up and leave. You must've done or said something that hurt her feelings. What did I tell you about comunication being-"
"Being the cornerstone of a good relationship, I remember," he put his hands on Geto's cupping his face. "We did talk. And I thought we came to a mutual understanding. Then I offered to cuddle with her and went to shower but once I walked out she was gone. All her things too..."
"Wow," Geto let go of his friend's face, "what a bitch."
"Right?" Gojo agreed and leaned back on his chair so far it was threatening to fall. "I don't understand. She never complained before, never said anything, then all of a sudden she pulls a stunt like that, throws a scene, slips into her selfhating thing again-"
"Wait, she what?" Geto asked confused. He has met you enough times to know you were very cheerful and life-loving person. What was Gojo talking about? Selfhatred?
"She has these moments,"he explained, "thinks she's too fat, then not curvy enough, thinks she's too basic to be with a guy like me, so on. When it happened the first few times i comforted her but even after all those years she still thinks of herself as less than and I'm too damn tired of it. I thought all of those negative thoughts would go away the first time I assured her I love her no matter what," he crossed his arms on his chest and looked out the window again. "I'm starting to feel like she's doing it for attention."
"Listen Satoru, maybe she's just extremely selfconscious and people like her need reassurance like that. Besides if she was really doing that for attention she wouldn't leave withoit a word. She would leave hints for you to find her and come beg her on your knees or something."
Gojo chuckled. "Suguru, you've got to stop watching Shoko's telenovelas."
"I'm a slut for drama."
A phone rang.
In a speed of light Gojo pulled out his phone hoping to see your lovely face. The screen was black.
Geto pulled out his ringing phone and picked up. "Well well, speak of the devil," he smiled.
Gojo couldn't hear what him and Shoko were talking about. He could only take hints from Geto's facial expressions and his occasional answers.
"What do you mean you have to cancel it? Oh. Okay. I understand. And did she tell you what-" his eyes got wide. "But wait, that's not- I didn't- Actually he's right next to me."
Gojo tried to get closer to hear what they were talking about but Geto jumped up and walked across the room.
"Okay. Okay, i'll ask him. No, that's fine. Alright. Take care, both of you. Bye," he hung up. Then slowly turned around to face Gojo now standing opposite him.
"Now you'll tell me exactly what had happened between you two. You said she caused a scene, what was it about?"
His mouth turned into neutral line, just like when you started this whole mess. "She asked me to stop seeing you. Can you believe that? Trust me, if I told her to stop seeing her friends all hell would break lose."
"Isn't that what happened when she asked you?" Geto pointed out the obvious double standard but Gojo wasn't listening.
"Didn't you hear what I just said? She wanted me to spend more time with her. Like, what does she want me to do? Make me and her morph into one being?"
"It is true that you've been spending a lot of time with me," Geto held his chin between his fingers in a thought. "But I don't get one thing. If you being away from her this often was a problem for her then she must've shown signs, not encourage you to come and spend time with me when she was too busy herself."
"About that," Gojo nervously played with his shades. "I might've over-exagarated that."
"Don't tell me..." Geto pinched the bridge of his nose.
"She wasn't always busy when I came here."
"Satoru!" He half shouted. "You always told me she was too busy and couldn't come! Why would you lie?"
"Because i felt trapped!" He yelled back. "I felt like I couldn't even breathe. Yes, being around has brought me so much joy but I missed the thrill of being free. Just being with you and Shoko and doing whatever. Now I just feel like I'm chained to something that I kinda want away from but also not," the entire time he spoke he was pacing back and forth. "I just wanted to feel like the old times."
"So in other words you miss the feeling of being single but you also like the benefits relationship gives you," Geto concluded. "I thought you were better than this."
"And I thought you would understand," Gojo turned his anger against his best friend who was calmly standing in the living room. "But wait, I forgot, you have no one," he mocked.
"Damn right I don't. Which makes me even more pissed off when I see how you treat your own relationship! Have you got any idea how much I envied you for having someone waiting for you at home and welcome you after a long day? Or just someone to be there for you in general?"
Gojo got silent. He didn't know. Geto never showed it.
Geto took it as his chance to try speak some sense into Gojo. "Listen, you only feel like this because you've never been in a relationship. Feeling trapped is normal, I think. What's important is that you love her and you're capable of changing to get her back, right?"
Gojo was just looking at him.
"Right?" Geto said a bit more panicked.
"I don't know!" Gojo exclaimed and Geto facepalmed. "I don't know how to choose between her and you."
"Is that what she asked? For you to choose between her and me?"
Gojo shook his head. "No, I think she just wanted me to spend less time with you."
"So she didn't out right prohibit you from hanging out with me, she only asked for you to stay with her more often," Geto was slowly but surely getting the whole picture.
"Something like that," Gojo shrugged.
Geto sighed. "You royally fucked up Gojo Satoru."
"No, really?" sarcasm dripped from his words. "I still think I did nothing wrong. She has no right to aks me to spend less time with you."
"She does actually. She's your girlfriend of what, three years?"
Gojo nodded.
"Three years and yet you place her beneath a best friend. How would you feel like if she had to choose between her best friend and you and she went for the friend?"
Suddenly, Gojo looked like it finally hit him. "I'd feel...terrible," he sat down on the chair. "But... but I didn't tell her I would choose you. Both of you mean so much to me."
"On the same level or a different one? Satoru, understand that the love for a friend and a love for a lover are two separate kinds of love. You not being able to distinguish between them caused you to be in this mess."
Geto walked over to where Gojo sat and towere over him. He put a reassuring hand on his wide back. "Let me ask you this: what do you want right now? To be with her?"
Gojo stayed silent. He didn' know what he wanted. He hated the fact that he can't have both a friend and a lover. Choosing one would mean losing the other in Gojo's eyes. He can't afford that. Not when both of his most treasured people made him so happy.
Geto took his silence as a no. "You know what I think? You didn't want to have her. You just wanted others to see you have her."
His words cut like a knife. Why? Why do his loved ones have to be this cruel? He only looked up from the floor to his best friends almost black eyes. His own baby blues were watery. A lump took place in his throat. With a horror he realised how weak he feels. One half of him already packed her things and walked away, he can't let the other half do the same.
"Do you hate me now?" He whispered, affraid if he will speak any louder he would cry.
Geto took a while. Then shook his head. "No Satoru, just dissapointed."
Gojo nodded and looked back down to the floor.
Few minutes passed. None of them said anything. After Gojo was completely sure he won't fall apart he spoke up. "Do you think I can fix this?"
"Hmm," Geto hummed and pulled out a chair to sit opposite him. "Fixing means returning to its original state. I don't think things will go back to normal."
"But, I don't want to lose her. I know I don't!"
"Then you must set your priorities straight."
"But-" Gojo looked into Geto's eyes again. "That would mean I will loose you and that's equally as bad."
Geto shook his head. "You won't loose me. I'll still be here. You can still come over and we can still hang out. It just won't be like before."
"And that's what I don't want," Gojo mumbled and crossed his arms again while leaning into the backrest.
"Truthfully, if I had a girlfriend as amazing as Y/N I would spend a lot of time with her and not you."
Gojo swore he could feel his heart crack. "What do you mean?"
"I mean," he leaned forward and rested his elbows on his thighs, "that it's only natural to pick your lover over your friends. Not always, of course, but often enough."
Geto lifted his head to see his friend pale as a ghost, his skintone could now rival with his hair. He immediatelly regreted what he said. "But as I said, even if that was the case, even if you chose her as your top priority, which you should've as a good boyfriend, then it wouldn't mean I would cease to exist. And if I get someone in the future and I do the same you won't cease to exist to me either. You are my best friend, Satoru," he placed a hand on Gojo's shoulder, "and no girl will ever change that."
Gojo's ocean blue eyes let some tears slipped. He realized that his best friend is right, as always. Geto will always be there. And sure, even after he gets busy in his own life and won't have time for Gojo and his antics anymore, that wouldn't mean they would change into strangers to one another.
Gojo quickly wiped his tears and nodded. He swallowed the lump in his throat. "I don't want tk fix this. I want to evolve this. I want her back. I want to learn to love her again. Properly this time."
"You sure about that?"
Gojo nodded.
"Even after she won't forgive you?"
"Why wouldn't she? She's smart. She will understand. Besides, how can you rehect the best man in the world?" He forced out a chuckle.
Geto shook his head. "Arrogant and full of yourself as always."
"Yeah, what can you do..."
Geto's phone buzzed again. But this time nkt from a phone call but a message. Geto took out his phone, gave it a short glance and put it back into his pocket.
"Was it Shoko?"
Geto shook his head. "Just my reminder. Me and Shoko planned to go see a movie."
"Oh, is that what you talked about canceling?"
Geto nodded. "Y/N knocked on her door and asked to stay a few days. From what Shoko told me she was a mess."
Gojo slumped forward on his chair and hid his face in his hands. "I never wanted any of this to happen."
Geto hummed. "Do you know what this is callled? Consequences. Hurts, doesn't it?"

Perfect Girl
Sawamura Daichi x f reader
Part one
Summary: Itâs been a few days since your night with Daichi and even though you exchanged phone numbers and he texted you, you havenât yet gathered the courage to answer him and even less to see him again. But you canât stop yourself from wanting more.
Warnings: smut, aged up characters, softdom!Daichi, sub!reader, inexperienced!reader, sub drop (low key?), age gap of 7 years LEGAL OFC, thigh riding, nipple play,
âYOU HAD SEX?!â your best friend screams and dramatically slaps her hand on her mouth. You visibly cringed and looked away. âDonât say it. Makes it real.â You mumbled.
âIâm fucking saying it. Itâs fucking real, Y/N. You got laid. And looking at the way youâre blushing, it wasnât bad. I would even dare to say you enjoyed yourself.â She laughed pointing at your neck âAnd clearly he enjoyed you too.â
You groaned. âShut up. Iâm lost. I donât know what to feel or to think.â
The look in her face changed to something way more empathetic. She scooted closer to you and wrapped her arms around your fragile figure. âItâs okay, babe. How about you tell me about it first? If you want to.â
âHe said all that?! Ohh heâs a talker.â Your best friend was literally kicking her legs in the air and squeaking. You frowned. âWhat?â
âYou know, some guys donât really talk much during sex. They just do their thing and are pretty much quiet while doing it. Some guys donât even do anything tho. Thatâs when you have to take the lead.â She explained.
Your eyes widened. The idea of taking the lead in a situation like that frightening to you.
âBut from what you just told me he sounds like heâs got both down just fine.â She calmed you
âAnyway, what next? What did you do? Do you have his number?â
You bit your lip and told her about the night three days ago.
After Daichi made you trink what felt like a gallon of water, you obviously had to go to the toilet. Finally peeing after he annoyed you about that all night.
Not once did he leave your side, checking up on you and asking wether you were fine or not several times.
It made you feel all giddy and made your stomach twist in a very comfortable way. But you still couldnât shake the uneasy feeling inside you.
You just lost your virginity. Your virtue. To a random man you met at a club.
Sure he made it very clear that he was interested in you beyond just sex and assured you plenty of times that you didnât have to sleep with him. But still.
What if that wasnât true? Or worse. What if you did go on a few dates with him and all your chemistry got lost after immediately doing it?
How would you explain this to your parents? You probably shouldnât. Would he ever meet your parents?
âYouâve been sitting on the toilet staring at me for more than 10 minutes now, sweetheart. I can see the wheels turning in your pretty head. Whatâs going on?â
You got torn away from your thoughts by his voice and only then realized you were actually staring at him standing across from you, leaning against the sink with his arms crossed over his chest.
âOh. Nothing. Iâm sorry for making you wait.â You quickly wiped yourself and flushed the toilet.
You stood up and now the two of you were just a few inches apart, both still naked and staring at each other.
Daichiâs brow raised. âNo need to apologize. You are definitely thinking about something, donât lie to me. If you donât want to talk about it, thatâs okay.â
Once again his natural dominant behavior and especially his communication skills left you blushing and looking away.
But he didnât have it. Instead he took your face in his hands and made you look at him again. You quickly realized tonight that he was a fan of eye contact and verbal answers.
âCome on. Letâs take a shower first.â He gently took your hands in his, kissing your forehead and leading the way into the shower.
The hot water soon hit both your hair and skin as well as Daichis and made you relax. Without realizing you had held a breath that you now finally let out.
For a good while neither of you said anything, just standing next to each other, enjoying the hot water.
But for some reason the silence made you doubt yourself. Did he not like your performance? Would he send you home after your shower and never talk to you again? Maybe he was like this with all girls and just did what he thought he had to?
You were clearly not the only girl he had slept with recently and it made you⊠jealous? Insecure? Maybe both.
He probably had a lot of comparisons he was thinking of right now. You for sure werenât the best he ever had.
Your thoughts were interrupted by your own loud sob. Your eyes widened immediately and your hand went to cover your mouth. You didnât even realize you were crying.
Daichi didnât say anything and instead put his hand on the back of your wet hair and pushed your head into his chest, hugging you to him.
His second hand landed on your back, gently brushing it with his fingertips.
-
Later the two of you were lying in bed, your head on his naked chest and his hand in your hair, both trying to get some sleep.
You hadnât talked since your little breakdown in the shower and even though you knew Daichi was probably doing it out of respect for you and not because he was angry, you still felt bad.
âIâm sorry about crying in the shower. That mustâve been so offensive to you.â you mumbled, tracing shapes with your finger on his stomach.
âDonât. Donât do that. I know all of this is new to you, that alone is a valid reason to feel overwhelmed. And then all that stuff with your family has to be rough. I get it, donât worry. And youâre definitely not the first girl to cry after having slept with me, I can be a lot in bed.â
You looked up at him with a confused expression âWhat do you mean? I didnât feel like it was too much.â
âI said a lot, sweetheart, not too much. Besides you didnât get the full experience. Or did you think a power dynamic like this was the average experience, hm?â He winked at you, chuckling when your face visibly heated up.
âI- I donât know whatâs average, but I was wondering what all those hints were aboutâŠâ you mumbled.
âYouâll see soon enough. If thatâs what you want of course? Maybe youâd prefer someone softer whoâd let you lead if you want?â His face tilted a little to the side with a questioning look.
âI donât think so? I liked it that way. I mean I donât know anything different, so itâs just- I am-â you sighed âconfused. I feel exhausted and anxious about whatâs to come.â
âThatâs okay. Donât feel pressured. I am sorry to have asked you this when I knew you were struggling. Letâs just sleep, okay? The world will look much different tomorrow.â
You simply nodded but didnât move, still holding your body up on his chest and looking at him. âDaichi?â
He didnât reply and instead just raised his eyebrows. Your stomach twisted in a funny way but you still didnât look away from him.
âKiss me, please.â
Daichi grinned, wrapping his arms around you and turning the two of you over so that you were now lying under him.
âOf course, sweetheart.â
âWow. Thatâs like⊠such a green flag?? What a man. What happened next? Donât keep me in the dark here!â Your best friend demandingly snapped her fingers in front of your face.
You cleared your throat. âI left. I-â you closed your eyes and sighed âI snuck out in the morning while he was still sleeping.â
Your best friends jaw practically hit the floor. âWhy would you do that?â
âI donât know. I- I felt bad, I guess? He was so nice and I am new to all of this. I canât give him what he gave to me. The communication skills and confidence, I donât have that.â You rambled, playing with your hands.
âOh baby.â She pulled you in a tight hug, wrapping her arms around you again. âLook, from what I heard, he is very understanding. So I donât think you need to worry about that at all. And confidence is something that can be gained. And communication can be learned. Itâs not like your parents teached you much when it comes to those things.â
You quickly looked at her, eyes blown wide. âThatâs another problem. How do I explain any of this to my parents? They will absolutely abandon me if they hear any of this.â
âDonât tell them. Y/N, youâre 23, they are not entitled to this information. Itâs your life. Your body. Your choice. I know you learned that your opinions and needs donât matter but thatâs so not true! And I think Daichi would be great at teaching you this.â
She silently giggled âAmong other things.â
You groaned, letting your head hit her shoulder hard. âI have his number.â
She squeaked. âEven better! I wouldâve just asked Sugawara for his number but if you have it already, we can text him now!â
Your face heated up. âHe already texted me. I didnât reply.â
âRude. Come on, let me see.â
unknown: Hey you, when I woke up this morning you were already gone. Are you okay? Please text me once you see this, Iâm a little worried.
saturday, 10:06 a.m
âGirl, you didnât even safe his number?? And you completely ignored him! Not on my watch. Weâre replying now.â
âBut-â ânow.â She interrupted you. âHow about something along the lines of âsorry I had a lot to think about. Would you like to meet up and talk about some things?â How does that sound?â
âI donât wanna meet up and talk about some things⊠he makes me nervous.â This was something you so far hadnât even admitted to yourself. He made you nervous. What did that mean for you?
âVery cute. But you still have to see him again, babe. If you want this to work that is.â
-
Daichi was just heading out of the police station when his phone buzzed in his pocket. Quickly he looked at him expecting an important call.
What he saw instead surprised him.
Y/N: Hey⊠Iâm so sorry for ignoring you⊠I had a lot to think about and needed some time, but Iâm good now. Would you like to meet up?
thursday, 2:34 p.m
He didnât expect to hear from you so soon or at all to be honest. But that wasnât to say he wasnât glad you answered him. One might even say he was relieved.
Ever since he woke up and you werenât there anymore he had an anxious feeling in his chest because even though he wasnât surprised when he couldnât find you, he still wanted to see you again.
The last time Daichi was in a serious relationship, was a very long time ago and although he was content with being single and having unattached flings, he felt at the age of 30 it was time to settle down.
Of course he wouldâve never imagined to meet a random girl at a club who was not only seven years younger than him but also extremely inexperienced. But he couldnât help it.
You were constantly on his mind and he wanted to show you every thing you were missing out on so badly. Not only sexually but in general.
Due to his dominant character, Daichi was used to being the caregiver and in charge in his previous relationships but with you it was different.
He wanted to protect you, provide for you and make you forget every bad thing that had ever happened to you. He wanted to take you away from your unsafe and toxic environment and show you love. Real unconditional love.
Which was kinda crazy and new to him, considering he only knew you for six days.
Naturally Daichi immediately answered your text once he got in his car.
Daichi: Donât worry about it. I just got off of work, do you have time right now?
thursday 2:46 p.m
To his surprise you quickly texted him that you could be ready in an hour and you agreed to meeting at your favourite café.
Daichi smiled. You would meet again in an hour and he wasnât just nervous but also excited to see your nervous composure which you would for sure have. You were cute like that.
-
You brushed down your dress on last time, looking down at your body. You were wearing probably one of the most revealing outfits you had ever worn.
Just two weeks ago you wouldâve gasped at the black dress at itâs low cut neckline, that heavily exposed your cleavage, or the fact that it ended in the middle of your thighs, exposing your legs.
âYou had sex with this man, y/n. Wear the damn dress.â Your best friend had said. She also made you shave.
Which was only a little embarrassing to be honest.
âIâm not gonna do it.â you had complained. âIf he sees it, Iâd seem desperate.â She had only laughed at that. âIf he sees it, you had every reason to do it, honeyâ
She was right with this of course but it still felt weird. If your parents or anyone from church could see you like this, youâd be in big trouble.
âYou gonna go inside or just stare at the door?â A hand got placed on your lower back and you immediately jumped.
Your body tensed and all the hair on your body was suddenly standing up.
Just when you wanted to turn around the hand removed itself, brushing your hair off your shoulder. âRelax, sweetheart. Itâs just me.â
âDaichi!â You shouted, almost too excited. You went to give him a hug, but stopped yourself. How do people greet each other that are romantically involved?!
Daichi raised his eyebrows at your action and chuckled, hugging you to his chest. âHow are you feeling?â
This chest vibrated against yours while speaking, making your body tingle from how deep his voice was.
Slowly you broke up the hug by pushing at his chest. Your hands remained on his chest and you thought of how you were touching him there just a few nights ago when the two of you were naked and how much he seemed to enjoy it.
Your eyes widened in shock. What an inappropriate thought. Embarrassed you took a step back, staring at him with blown eyes.
Once you noticed the amused look on his face you quickly looked back down at your feet again. It was almost as if he knew what you thought.
âHow are you feeling, y/n?â He asked again, eyebrows raised again, staring at you a little too intense.
âGood, I think. You?â You tilted your head slightly to the side looking at him through blown eyes. Daichi doubted you even noticed the innocent look on your face.
âYou think?â He frowned, slowly starting to push you in the direction of the door of the cafĂ©.
You almost stumbled at the gesture, luckily catching your step in time. âYes, been a little⊠in my head?â
âI see. Thereâs a lot to talk about, hm?â
You simply nodded at that, walking through the door Daichi held open for you. âThanks.â You muttered.
Daichi bit his lip at that. He just loved how polite you were. So well behaved.
âWhere would you like to sit?â You turned around and asked him. Again Daichi bit his lip, this time you noticed of course, staring at them.
Quickly you cleared your throat, shaking your head a little. âEhm, I like window seats but we can sit wherever you like!â
âA window seat sounds perfect to me. Choose your favourite one, sweetheart.â
You opened your mouth to protest, you asked him to choose, but you figured Daichi wouldnât give in anyway so you just opted for your regular seat by the window.
Once you had taken you seat, Daichi pulling back your chair and having you sit first, of course, a waitress came quickly to take your orders.
You chose your favourite caramel latte and a brownie while Daichi unsurprisingly sticked to a simple black coffee and nothing else.
âSo⊠how was work?â You awkwardly asked, avoiding eye contact. Daichi chuckled and shook his head a little.
âUnadventurous, I got some paperwork done for the most part. What is it you do, exactly? You never told me. I remember you dodging the question several times last Friday.â
Of course you dodged a question like that after all he had said about the religious beliefs of your family. You swallowed thickly and just when you were about to spin some lie for him, the waitress came with your order.
Immediately your shoulder relaxed which Daichi realised, furrowing his brows. Still he politely thanked the woman, his eyes never leaving your shy frame though.
When she was gone and he still looked at you, not saying or doing anything, you felt yourself starting to squirm.
And then the inevitable happened. You began rambling.
âDid you know that in some parts of the world itâs not allowed to call oat milk, oat milk? Because milk is defined by being drawn from a living animal and therefore-â
Suddenly Daichi grabbed your aggressively gesturing hands, shutting you up right away. âWhat are you talking about?â He laughed.
âSorryâ You muttered embarrassed by your own behaviour.
âWere you trying to make me forget my question?â He still had a smug smirk plastered over his face.
âNo! YesâŠâ his smile grew at your nervous breakout, muttering a quiet cute to himself.
âBut it wasnât on purpose! Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed or just donât know what to do I start talking about the most random stuff because I canât deal with uncomfortable silence and silence is always uncomfortable.â
âYou think so? What about when you were at my place, hm? There was a lot of silence between us, did you feel uncomfortable then?â His head tilted slightly to the side, mustering you.
You sighed defeatedly. âNo, of course not, but that was different.â
âHow so?â
You sighed again. No way out of this conversation. At least you made him actually forget about his earlier question. âBecause I wasnât uncomfortable, I guess? I donât know.â
âSounds very reasonable, sweetheart. I feel proud you are comfortable with me. But you still managed to successfully dodge my question, hm. Thereâs no job to be embarrassed about or will you be in trouble when you tell me, because Iâm a policeman?â He tried to lighten the mood.
You managed to laugh a little, but still looked worried. Daichi feared he hit a nerve and just when he wanted to reassure you that you did in fact not have to tell him anything you donât want to, you spilled.
âThereâs no job to be embarrassed about becauseâ you mindlessly picked apart your brownie like a little kid would âbecause there is no job at all.â
Daichi only smiled a pitiful smile at that, his thumbs caressing your wrists. âThatâs it?â He chuckled.
âBaby, you made me think you did something highly illegal or inappropriate. Why are you so embarrassed?â
You frowned, almost angry retreating your hands from his grip. âIâm not just embarrassed, I am ashamed. Iâm in my twenties and have never worked a single day in my life, Daichi! What does that make me?â
âIn your case a young, confused woman. If itâs so horrible for you, why donât you change it?â
You swallowed thickly, now this topic again. You bit your lip, looking away from him and thatâs when he understood.
âYour family doesnât allow you to have a job, do they?â He asked and you slightly shook your head at that. âPoor girl. You really have some issues to resolve, hm?â
You silently took a bite, the fork straying in your mouth for a little so you could subconsciously chew on it.
Daichi watched you for a few seconds before pulling it out of your mouth. You came back to reality and looked back at him with shocked eyes.
Your hand quickly covered your face. âOh God, sorry! Iâm acting as if my life is terrible or something. Most people would probably be happy to be financed by their family and do whatever they want without working for it.â
âDonât apologise, I get it. You want to decide things for yourself and not depend on your parents for everything in your life. You donât want to be treated like a child.â He concluded.
You paused for a second, looking at him through blown eyes. âYes. Yes! Thatâs exactly it. They are trying to make me depend on them, need them until I have a husband I can depend on and stay home and take of our children. I donât want that for myself.â
âAnd thatâs fine, sweetheart. Youâre a grown woman, you can do whatever you want. I know that sounds impossible, but itâs not. I can help you.â He assured you, taking a sip from his coffee.
You smiled your first real smile for the day. âI think I would like that.â Your smile dropped âBut itâs not gonna be easy for me⊠I tend to run away from my problems and ignore them.â
Daichi blew air through his nose, laughing. âI could tell.â
You blushed behind your mug. ââM sorry.â You mumbled.
âItâs okay, I thought this might happen before things even got heated.â He looked at you, winking. âDonât do it again though and donât ever ghost me afterwards. I was worried about you.â
âIâm sorry. I was just so overwhelmed and I didnât want to make you feel like it was your fault that I felt this way and I figured it would be best if I handled things on my own.â
âYou shouldnât feel like you have to deal with things on your own. I want to know things, y/n. Talk to me, only then I can understand and help you. The things we did that night can be overwhelming just on their own, especially if done for the first time and with all your stuff on top, I wanât to be there for you.â
You put both your hands on your hot, reddened cheeks and simply nodded at his statement.
Daichi raised his brows, urging you to answer. Which you did with a mumbled âokayâ. For now he just accepted that.
-
Later when the two of you had finished your drinks and food, it was already getting dark and the shop was about to close.
âLetâs get out of here, okay?â Daichi suggested and you nodded.
He stood up before you could, taking your jacket and pulling his hand out for you to take. Of course he paid, too.
You smiled and shook your head a little. Waiting for his change at the register, he heard your laugh, looking back at you with a smirk and raised eyebrows, looking gorgeous in his leather jacket.
You bit your lip, looking back at your phone, where you were texting your best friend about what a gentleman he was being right now.
When he came back, Daichi put his hand on your lower back to lead you out of the café.
âAre you here by bus or is your car parked here somewhere.â Daichi asked in the parking lot.
You scrunched your nose. It was getting quite cold. âBus. I donât have a driverâs license.â You admitted.
Wordlessly Daichi took off his jacket, putting it over yours and said:âLet me guess, your parents said you donât need one.â
You nodded and he shook his head. âIâll drive you then.â
-
The drive was rather quiet, only the occasional directions given by you interrupted the comfortable silence between the two of you.
For once, you didnât feel the need to ramble. For once, you enjoyed the silence.
The only thing that got your heart racing, and embarrassingly enough your thighs squeezing, was his hand resting on the inside of your knee every time he had to look back or the car came to a halt.
Of course Daichi noticed you squirming but spared you the embarrassment of saying anything. He couldnât help but smile to himself tho. Cute.
Once you arrived at your apartment, his hand once again landed on your leg, this time a little higher, squeezing your thigh.
âMeet me again this week, hm? I canât seem to get enough of you.â He chuckled and started rubbing your leg on the inside with his thumb.
Again you squeezed your legs at that, immediately clearing your throat to distract him from your uncontrolled actions.
âOkayâŠâ you murmured, avoiding eye contact with him.
Daichi chuckled again, slowly removing his hand from your thigh. Without a second thought you grabbed it, looking at him wide eyed.
He just raised his eyebrows at that, smirking a little. But when he didnât say or do anything except for staring back at you, you all of a sudden felt incredibly nervous, letting go of his hand again.
âSorry! I donât know why I did that.â
Without a word, Daichi just smiled and just pulled his seat back, spreading his legs a little.
âCome, sit.â He said, patting his thigh.
Your eyes went even wider. âNo, no. The space is-â
âPlenty enough. Sit now.â He said again, this time a little firmer, making it almost sound like an order.
Once you unbuckled your seatbelt, finally did he budge by lending you a hand.
You looked at him, feeling a little helpless but still awkwardly took it and started climbing over the middle console. Daichi watched you with an amused expression.
You clumsily landed on his lap, but only on one of his legs, your core pressing against his thigh. You looked at him with hot cheeks and put your hands on his shoulders to push yourself up again.
When you tried to move and sit on both his legs though, he stopped you with his hands on your waist. âDonât. Like this is fine.â
Your eyes went even wider, if possible, your hands squeezing his shoulders, still trying to push your weight up. When he carefully, but with force, pulled you down, you could only yelp surprised by his sudden action.
âAre you sure? I know I can be quite hea-â
He interrupted you by putting his hand on your mouth and as if on instinct you grabbed his wrist, with both of your hands.
Diachi took in the sight in front of him with dark eyes, his pants growing incredibly tight. Your eyes were innocently blown, cheeks flushed, thighs squeezed together around his own and hands holding onto him. He had to resist the urge to lower his hand a little and wrap it around your tiny neck.
He groaned at his own, intruding, yet appealing thought. But when he saw the unsure look on your face, he was painfully reminded why he couldn't indulge in such actions with you, at least not yet.
So instead of doing what he so painfully wanted to, Daichi let his hand go through your hair, putting some loose strands behind your ear and giving you an understanding expression,
"Don't finish that sentence, sweetheart, or it will wound my pride." He laughed at your confused look with the little head tilt, you probably never noticed.
But instead of explaining what he meant, he very slowly, very carefully pulled you against him.
Your chest hit his, your arms curled around his neck, having your fingertips play with the hair at the back of his head.
You subconsciously sucked your lower lip between your teeth, biting it.
He car was deadly silent, so was the parking lot and for the moment you forgot that any one of your neighbours could come by and see you like this.
Not that they would care.
Still biting at your lip, you admired the face of the man below you. Sharp jaw, deep brown eyes, a little stubble on his chin, fluffy, short hair.
Your thoughts were disrupted by Daichiâs finger pulling your lip out of your mouth with his thumb, caressing it in the process.
You gasped at that, leaving your mouth open a little, perfect for his thumb to find its way inside.
At first only a little, testing the waters, but when you didnât resist, Daichi chuckled, this time differently, it was dark and fucking sexy.
It made you whimper and when he pushed his thumb all the way in, you couldnât help but let out a full on moan.
You can feel your entire face, ears and neck heat up from embarrassment, but you didnât care anymore, when Daichi, with a hoarse, deep voice orders you to suck.
Without a second thought, you do as youâre told and you wonder if he has you wrapped around his fingers right now, if you would do everything he told you. Probably.
âGood girl. Youâre so perfect for me, arenât you?â
You look at him through hazy eyes when his thumb leaves you with a quiet plop of your mouth.
You can see him swallow thickly, hands wandering down to your ass, squeezing your breasts and hips in the process.
âYou tell me if any of it gets too much, okay?â He asks, kneading your ass.
Youâre overwhelmed, fisting his shirt but he still has your cunt gushing and clenching.
âYes. Kiss me, Daichi, please.â You whined, pushing back against his hands.
Your clit rubbed on his rough jeans perfectly from your movement, making you whimper. âOh~â
âFeels good, hm? Keep moving if you like it, princess.â Daichi kissed your throat as he let his hands wander under the skirt of your dress.
His fingertips felt a thin layer of lace, making him frown. He looked up again your red face.
âWhere are your granny panties? I liked those, you know.â
You blew air in your cheeks, letting out an embarrassed squeal. âI just thought maybe youâd like these better?â
He couldnât help but smile boyishly at your confession. âSo you hoped we might have sex today?â
Your eyes grew wide at his bold statement. âNo! I- just in case. My friend- oh god this is terrible.â
Your head fell forward, hitting his chest. You could feel it vibrating when Daichi laughed. âIâm just teasing, sweetheart. Wear whatever you feel like wearing.â
You laughed a little at him and for a few seconds you didnât look up, gathering your courage. âSo about that kiss-â
Before you could even finish your sentence, Daichis lips were already on yours, his tongue licking your lower lip, gently nibbling at it.
You sighed, your body relaxing against him, one of your hands burying itself deep in his hair, the other brushing his face while desperately letting him in your mouth.
Daichiâs hands grab your hips and with a little force, he gets you to move again. Your wet cunt rubbing on his leg.
Your breath stuttered at the friction, your eyes squeezing shut.
But you couldnât stop moving, slowly rutting against Daichiâs leg.
After he realised, youâd move on your own, Daichi slowly started to pull down the straps of your dress, exposing your bra.
It was lacy as well without any cup, exposing your hard nipples. It probably matched your panties and Daichi would love to see it, but the sight of you humping his thigh was much more inviting.
You were pretty much in your own world, barely realizing him removing your bra until he twisted one of your nipples, making you jump and gasp.
Your hips fastened, hands desperately shaking, fisting Daichiâs shirt and hair.
He was still playing with one of your breasts, while his other hand was slowly moving up your back.
âYou okay, princess?â He whispered in your ear, his hand tangling in your hair, slightly pulling your head back to expose your neck.
You moaned at that, quickly nodding your head.
Of course he wouldnât have that, his hand leaving your chest and touching your neck and chin again. âI asked if you were okay. Answer me properly, sweetheart.â
Your eyes went wide, lips parting slightly to let out a quiet whimper. âIâm okay. Daichi, please. I canât~ hah.â
Your hips were still moving, slower than before. Daichi raised his brows at you, hands now cradling your face.
âFuck~â he cursed under his breath. You were literally perfect, with your blown eyes, messy hair framing your face, lips swollen and face read.
âWhat is it, sweetheart? Tell me, come on.â He leaned in really close, his lips brushing yours. âI know you can do it.â
Your face went even redder, heat spreading all the way to your ears and neck. âI canât~â your breath hitched âI canât- cum like this.â
You let out an embarrassed whine, trying to hide your face. He didnât let you though, still gripping your face.
âHmm. Thank you for telling me, princess. Such a good girl.â He said against your lips, lightly biting your lower lip and pulling it.
Once again you whined, your hands gripping his biceps. Your hips stopped, thighs pressing together around his leg.
âCome on, princess.â Daichi chuckled, tapping your thigh. âSpread your legs for me.â
You bit your lip, slowly swinging your leg over his, now fully sitting in his lap.
Daichi started getting more comfortable in his seat, pulling it all the way back, sliding down a little and man spreading as far as this position allowed.
You looked at him with hot cheeks, legs now equally spread. Everything he did was just so attractive to you.
So of course you couldnât keep in your high pitched moan when he pulled your lower half towards him and pushed your back against the steering wheel.
Your dress slid up all the way to your stomach like this, leaving only your lacy, wet panties to cover you up.
Daichi looked at you, taking the way you gave yourself to him so willingly in, smirk plastered on his face.
Suddenly his eyes darkened, expression changing to something that almost looked like possessiveness.
âFuck I love your body, princess. Especially your titts, donât get me wrong. But theyâre for my eyes only, do you understand?â
You just looked at him with a frown, head slightly tilted to the side, not fully understanding what he was trying to say.
Daichi chuckled again, shaking his head as if he couldnât believe you didnât understand him. He looked you straight in the eyes, intensely mustering you.
Without another word he slowly pulled the straps of your dress up again, his fingertips brushing your arms in the process, making you shiver.
When he was done, his hands gripped your shoulders, massaging them just the tiniest bit before moving down to your hips.
His eyes were still on you when he quietly said âIâm going to touch you now, okay?â
You squirmed at the thought of that, nodding and letting out a breath of what sounded like an âokayâ
One of Daichiâs hands went even further down, pulling your panties to the side and sliding his middle finger from your hole up to your clit.
You hissed at that, trying to close your legs. Which of course Daichi didnât have, his free hand was now gripping your leg, forcing it open a little more.
to be continuedâŠ
If you ever wondered what the man of my dreams is like. This is it. I made myself blush with this skandnwnskwnqne
I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!
I am also kinda embarrassed how long it took me to write this⊠part 3 will hopefully not take as long⊠no promises, though it is already in progress
