Long Time Coming - Daryl Dixon x FEM!reader
Synopsis: Reader and Daryl have been together for a long time, but have never been able to have sex. 3.8k words
minors dni/18+
Warnings: smut, fluff. So much praise! Oral f!receiving. Protected sex (kinda? they use a condom but it's expired bc duh). Daryl cums fast. I've never written smut before, I've never published anything either so go easy on me. Probably OOC Daryl. Not great writing, sorry.
âItâs quiet,â Daryl starts from his position on the couch, one of his legs propped up on the coffee table.
âYeah, itâs a little unsettling. Even back in the prison there was always growling, or Beth singing, or Carol snoring all night,â you joke lightly mimicking her snores. You plopped down on the couch next to him and leaned into him, making him put an arm around your shoulders. âIt feels safe though, yeah? Safest I've felt since the outbreak at least,â you wonder out loud, trying to gauge his feelings of your new home.Â
âYeah, I guess,â he pauses. âJust feels like I'm waiting for the shoe, y'know.âÂ
âThe other shoe?â You ask, laying your hand on his knee, glancing up at him.
âMhm, waitinâ for the shoe to drop.âÂ
You hum in understanding. âI think. . .â you trailed off thinking of your next words carefully, âI think, thereâs no use in just sittin around and waiting. Maybe we should enjoy what we have, while we have it.âÂ
He sat up and turns to look at you like you were crazy. âAnd what? What about when these picket fence bastards decide weâre not good enough, we donât contribute enough, or whatever the hell other reason they decide is fit enough to throw us to the wolves? We just let them blindside us?â he seemed incredulous.Â
âNo, honey, of course not. Iâm just saying,â you take a deep breath trying to make sure you are clear. âThis is maybe our last chance, our only chance, to live a life without running from the dead every damn day. We got used to that, it was, or maybe it still is, our new normal, but this can be too.â
âI understand, sweetheart, I'm just. . .â he trails off.Â
âNervous? On edge?â you finish for him after a moment.Â
âYou could say that,â he answers, picking up a cup of water off the coffee table, taking a sip, and sitting it back down, then leaning back onto the couch and throwing an arm over your shoulder again.Â
âI know. You run for your life, hunker down in empty houses, broke down cars, and caves for lord knows how long. Next thing you know, someone offers you not only a home, but a house? To ourselves? And food, water, walls and defenses, plus people patrolling 24/7? Itâs a big change, but this is the safest weâve been for a while. I just think we should enjoy it while we can. We can stay on edge, sleep with a gun under our pillow or whatever, but we should enjoy what we have while we have it. We can live here for a while, when shit hits the fan we can run, like we always have.âÂ
âYeah, I reckon youâre right, y/n,â he admits, pressing a kiss to your temple. âKinda boring though, innit? This whole âamerican dreamâ life.âÂ
You glanced at him and saw a small smile. âBoring?â you giggle, âI can think of something to entertain us.â You slide your hand from your lap over to his, putting your hand back on his knee and sliding it half way up his thigh.Â
âYeah? Whatâs that sweetheart?â He questions innocently, but you can see the way his cheeks are redder than earlier, and you can see the way he looks at your lips.Â
You jumped up and offered him your hand with a wink, âCome with me and I'll show you.â
âDonâ need to ask me twice,â he jumped to his feet, grabbing your hand and letting you lead him up the stairs and into the bathroom. You open the door with your spare hand and spin around pulling at his shirt and winking at him.Â
âOh I get it, you just want to see me naked, donâ ya?â Daryl teased, pulling his t-shirt off.Â
âYou know I do, baby,â you flirted, grabbing his naked waist and pulling him closer for a moment, before pushing him away and leaning over to start the water, Daryl taking the opportunity to smack your ass. You giggle and turn around with your finger pointed, ready to scold him jokingly, but he grabs your hips before you can. He yanks you into his chest and kisses you hard, trying to slip his tongue into your mouth.Â
âAt least let me get in the shower first, you horny bastard!â You laugh at him and pull away, yanking your shirt over your head and pulling your pants down and off. You feel the water to test its temperature and upon deciding it warm enough, you turn around to see him still in his pants. You reach towards his belt and pull on it, âYou joining? Or are you gonna stand there and watch?âÂ
âIâm happy to watch but Iâd much rather join,â he responds, watching you step into the warm water. He tugs his belt undone and his pants down while you turn and let the water run over you.Â
Truth is, you were a little nervous, you knew what you were initiating. Sure youâd spent most of the apocalypse together, started âdatingâ not long after arriving at the prison. Though youâd never officially talked labels, itâs been long assumed, by you and the rest of the group, that you were together. So, youâve been âtogetherâ a long time, but despite that youâd never really gone farther than oral or handjobs. If youâd had the time, then you hadnât had the solitude. If youâd had the solitude, then you hadnât had the safety. If youâd had the safety, then you hadnât had the time. It had worked out fine, in the midst of the end of the world, sexual frustration wasnât your biggest concern, youâd go as far as to say it wasnât even in the top 15. This was your third night alone in Alexandria, your group had all slept in the same house for a while before gradually settling into your own.Â
âItâs been a long time since weâve done this, huh?â you question, rubbing soap all over your body. You feel his arms wrap around you and pull your back to his chest, you lean your head back to rest on his shoulder.Â
âYouâre sexier every time,â he whispers, nipping at your ear. His hands grab the fat of your hips and grip it to pull you even closer.
âReally? You donât think I looked better when we were covered in walker guts and months of filth?â You tease him, pushing away and signaling for him to turn his back to you, and begin to clean his back with a soapy towel.Â
âYou get prettier every day, Y/N, with or without running water,â he hums out, enjoying the soft scratch of the washcloth on his body. It had taken him a long time to get comfortable being this vulnerable, but years of relying on each other has built a trust unlike any other in his life. He trusts you fully, to see him wholly and unfiltered, who he truly was inside and out.Â
 Once you both had been scrubbed you wrap your arms around his neck and push him against the wall. You brush your lips over his, testing the waters first. He grabs your face and spins you around, pressing his lips harshly against yours. You moan into his mouth and pull him closer. His arms wind around your waist when his tongue slips into your mouth, your grasp the hair at the base of his neck tightly in your fingers when you feel his leg slot between yours.Â
You grind down on his leg and gasp, throwing your head back against the wall. He takes the opportunity to kiss your jaw, trailing kisses down your neck, sucking little marks on your collar bones. You feel his hand slide from your waist up your torso to grab at your breast and your hands grab at the strong muscles of his back. He kneads your soft breast before rubbing your nipple with his thumb, he places sloppy kisses on the junction of your neck and down your shoulder. You whimper and grind harder on his leg when he pinches your nipple between his fingers, Daryl kisses back up your neck and puts his hands on either side of your face, pulling it to his to kiss it harshly.Â
âPlease, Daryl, I want you,â you whimper against his lips, he hums into your mouth and slips his tongue into your mouth. âDaryl, please,â you whine as he willfully ignores your begging.Â
You keep kissing, clawing at his back with your short nails, just trying to pull him impossibly closer to you, his arms wrap tight around your waist, holding you down on his leg to help you grind harder against his knee. One of his arms abandons your waist to grab a fistful of your wet hair and he lets it tangle around his fingers, while he kisses you even deeper.Â
âYou ready to get outta here, pretty girl?â He smirks at you. Before waiting for your answer he shuts the water off, grumbling about how youâre just gonna have to take another one later, and slides open the curtain. Daryl steps out and hands you a towel.Â
You rush past him into the bedroom, drying off and discarding your towel, then jumping on your shared bed. He walks in a few moments later, dropping the towel he had wrapped around his waist. You whistle at him teasingly, âHow on earth did I get so lucky?âÂ
He chuckles at you and sits on the bed beside your feet, running his hands up your calf, âI think I should be the one asking that, Y/N.â He crawls up to your body, pressing light kisses from your knees to your neck. If it werenât for the lust in his eyes and the way he looks at you like you were prettiest damn woman heâs ever seen you might feel insecurity creeping in.
Daryl pecks your mouth, leaving you chasing his mouth until kisses back down your stomach, notching himself between your thighs. He peppers kisses all over the inside of your thighs, avoiding the one place youâre needing him the most. He finally caves, running his thumb up your slit, brushing away the soft hair that covers your cunt.Â
âYouâre the sexiest damn woman Iâve ever seen,â he mutters, not giving you a chance to respond before he dives in, placing one long lick from your hole to your clit. The surprise movement leaves you gasping and squeezing his head between his thighs, which he softly pushes away. He does another long lick before focusing on your clit, alternating between gentle licks and circling it with his tongue. He wraps his lips around it and sucks, smiling when he hears you whimpering above him. He goes back to gentle licks and sucks, Daryl moves farther south until licking at our hole, he looks up at you for approval and instead sees a sight so beautiful he wonders what he did to deserve this. You, your back arched the perfect amount for him to see the soft expanse of your stomach leading to your breasts that were pushed into the air, one hand grasping clumsily at one of them, pulling at your nipple. With the image of you and your salty taste on his tongue he swore he could bust right then and there.Â
Daryl pushes his tongue into your hole, the mix of your wetness and his saliva creating a mess of your groin. He fucks his tongue into you, soft and steady.Â
Itâs so much, his wet tongue sliding in and out of you, his hands gripping your thighs, his nose nudging your clit every now and then. It was too much and not enough. You gasp out, âOh, my god, Daryl,â between your moans and heavy breathing. âD, you feel so good, I need more, please.âÂ
He moves one hand from your thigh up to your mouth, pulling away to whisper, âsuck on my fingers, baby.â You oblige, leaning forward eagerly to pull his thick fingers into your mouth and moan around them when he uses his other hand to squeeze your thigh. He fucks his fingers in and out of your mouth, coming up to press his mouth to yours, his tongue mingles with yours around his fingers. He pulls his fingers out and drops them to your cunt, using them to circle your clit, then sliding one inside of you, swallowing your gasps and moans in your shared kiss. He works his second finger into your pussy and abandons your lips to kiss down your chest, stopping to suck a nipple into his mouth briefly, but then continuing all the way back to your clit. Your hands grasp at his hair and push his face into your cunt, his tongue going back to playing with your clit while his eyes flicker up to see yours squeezed shut and mouth hanging open in ecstasy. Your hands wind in his hair so you have something to hold on to, his tongue and fingers making your head swim. He could ask you anything right now and youâd do it in a heartbeat as long as he didnât stop. His fingers stretched you open just right and the drag of his knuckles in your pussy had you gasping for air.Â
His fingers were fucking into you hard enough in just the right spot that you were breathless, gasping each time they hit that spot. He groaned against your cunt and it left you whining and grinding against him, his spare arm wrapped around your hips drawing you even closer and holding you still against his mouth. He pulled away from you, protests falling from your lips at his withdrawal, âYouâre doinâ so good for me, Y/N, sound so fuckinâ pretty. Perfect little cunt too, you know how much I love eating your pussy, donâ ya, baby?â He draws, pressing more kisses and sucking little marks against the sensitive parts of your thighs, while his fingers slowly thrust in and out of you. You hum in response, hands trying to pull his head back to where you want- no need him most. âI want you to tell me, Y/N, tell me what you want,â He insists, his dark, brown eyes boring into yours.Â
âYou- you know what I want, honey,â you reply, face heating up, suddenly feeling almost bashful at your desperation for your partner. He pulls his fingers out of you at your less-than-satisfactory response.Â
âOh, I do, baby, trust me,â he insists. âBut I need to hear you say it. I want to hear you. Donât go getting shy on me now. Thereâs no reason to, I know you love when I give you head, you know how much I adore buryinâ my head between your sexy thighs, feeling them squeeze me while i devour you,â he pauses to slide his fingers back into you, smiling at your quiet moan. âHell, you should see the mess my cock is makinâ down here, leaking all over the blanket I just washed. Iâm humping the bed like a damn virgin while Iâm tongue deep in your pussy, sweetheart. I can feel how close you are, clenchinâ like a vice on my fingers. Now Iâd love to have you make a mess on my face, but I want you to tell me what you want first. No need in getting all bashful, sweetheart, weâve been here a dozen times before. Want to see your pretty face when you tell me, too.â
You lean up on your elbows, head foggy with need. âDaryl, I need you to make me cum, make me- make me cum all over your face,â you manage to stutter out. âThen, I need you to fuck-â your words are interrupted by a broken gasp as he dives back in, licking and sucking at your clit for all his worth. Your arms give out from behind making you drop onto your back, arching it and trying to wriggle your hips against his hold and let out breathless praises for the man eating you out like his life depends on it.Â
âFuck! Daryl, you make me feel so good,â you gasp out when he goes back to licking circles on your clit. His fingers are curling into you just right, his tongue is circling your clit perfectly, your mind is buzzing and all you can think about is him. You feel your orgasm creeping up, warmth building and muscles tightening. âI- Iâm so close, I-, oh my god, just like that, baby. Fuck, Daryl, please!âÂ
You let out more whimpers and moans, a few nearly incoherent begs, although what you were begging for was unclear, all you knew is that you were so, so close to cumming on the fingers of the man you loved more than anything. Your fingers tighten their grip on his hair, which makes him groan into you and grind harder against the blanket under him, the vibrations of his groan make you buck your hips, so he tightens his hold on you. He was lapping at your cunt like it was water and he was dying of thirst. His fingers are pressing harder into you with every little thrust and youâre sobbing out as your orgasm finally washes over you. You can feel the pleasure wash over your body, making chills erupt all over you, the heat thatâs been building in your core finally explodes and youâre shaking all over, back almost arching off the bed as he keeps lapping at you. You cunt is milking his fingers, legs shaking around his head as you moan out little gasps of his name. His fingers fuck you through the shock waves of your orgasm, but he doesnât stop his movements. Your moans turn into little high pitched gasps when he pulls his fingers out of you once you stop pulsing around them, only to slide his tongue into your opening and fuck into you. Itâs all too much, you can feel the rough drag of stubble on your soft inner thighs and his harsh grip on your ass as you come back down to reality. He finally lets up when you start to pull away from him and your grip on his hair loosens. He pulls away from you, his face glistening in the soft moon light peering in from the window. You grab at the back of his head and yank him into a rough kiss, tongues clash and the taste of your fluids on his lips and tongue make you moan into his mouth again.Â
âYouâre too good for me, Daryl, honestly. Youâre so good with your mouth, Iâd let you eat me out for hours,â you breathlessly praise him once he pulls away to catch his breath, letting his forehead rest on yours.Â
âThat can be arranged, darling,â he muses, starting to lower himself back to your pussy.Â
âNo! No, not right now. I need you. I need more of you. I want your cock, please, Daryl,â you stutter, desperation fogging your brain. âLay down, let me blow you.â
âNo, sunshine, Iâm not gonna last that long,â he insists, hissing when your hand wraps around his aching dick, using his own precum to stroke loosely. You reach into your bedside drawer for the condoms you had placed there a few days ago, they were past the expiration date, but itâs not like you can find any new ones any more, you had both decided you might as well try to use the protection.Â
âYou sure?â You ask, looking at him with hooded eyes, licking your lips and ripping open the condom.Â
âYes, Y/N,â he affirms. You slide the condom down his length and then use that hand to guide his cock to your entrance.Â
You canât help but notice his shaky breath and the way his hands are shaking beside your head, âDaryl, are you sure you want to do this? We can stop now, we can go to bed, or I can jerk you off, if youâd rather wait.âÂ
âI want to fuck ya, itâs just. . .â he trails off.Â
âBeen a long time?â You finish for him. He nods to confirm your suspicion.Â
Before you can respond he begins to push into you, your pussy aching as he stretches you out, feeling every vein of his cock as it fills you up to the hilt. Above you, heâs grunting, arms damn near giving out as he rests most of his weight on you. Heâs grunting into your ear, muttering a quiet âFuck, fuck, fuck,â as he adjusts to the tightness of your pussy around him, as you grind and squeeze against him, your body begging for me.Â
âHey, sunshine, look at me,â heâs leaning back to look you in the eye, once he got his bearings He brushes the hair out of your eyes, presses a kiss to your nose. âYou feel good, better than I coulda imagined.âÂ
âPlease, Daryl.â
In lieu of a response, he crashes his lips on yours. Pulling out almost completely and pushing back in with a broken moan, your hand flies to his hair as he begins to rut into you. Short, fast thrusts that leave you gasping with your arms tight around his shoulders. He slows his pace when your nails start to scratch down his back. âI-Iâm not gonna last long, y/n,â he moans, pulling all the way back and then thrusting back into you hard.Â
âThatâs perfect, baby, please, thatâs all I want. Jusâ want to make you feel good, yeah?â You pant out. Your legs wrapped tightly around him, his thrusts hitting so deep inside of you, you were seeing stars, his hips pushing flush against your own, you could feel his balls slap against your ass. He drops his head to kiss and suck on your neck, you tighten around him and reach down to rub our clit.Â
Darylâs moans and thrusts get more erratic, a sign you know means heâs close. âFuck, baby, I-â he gasps out.Â
âI know, I know, me too.âÂ
âIâm sorry, you just feel so damn good-âÂ
âShut up and let me feel you cum inside of me,â you demand, your voice breathless and broken, heâs stretching you out so nicely and youâre rubbing fast, eager circles on our clit. âOh- I- Iâm cumming. Oh, my god, fuck! I love you so much, Daryl.âÂ
The rhythmic squeezing of your tight pussy and your blissed out face sent him straight over the edge, he was grunting into you as you both rode out your highs.Â
Minutes later he was catching his breath, his legs shaking. âWas that worth the wait?â You joked. He laughed at you and slipped out, shaking his head at your sound of disappointment. Daryl pulled the condom off and threw it in the bin across the room.Â
In the morning he awoke before you, the sun shining across your pretty hair, he could see your relaxed face, your tits sticking out of the blanket. He wondered what he ever did to deserve this, to deserve you. Heâd fight through a dozen apocalypses if it meant being with you.Â

Didn't Love Me. I Ain't No Fool.
Azriel x Y/N
warnings: angst...? I don't know if there is anything else?
summary: you meet Feyre at the paint studio you two clicked right away and became good friends, soon enough you got to meet the rest of the IC and started forming friendships with them. Azriel and you had a spark at the beginning or at least you thought you did... you two started seeing each other shortly after, keeping each other company in the deep hours of the night and telling each other the darkest parts of each other, he said he loved you but oh how things couldn't have been anymore different...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Winter Solstice a time where we gather with our family and friends to exchange gifts, drink and visit with each other it is a wonderful time of the year, it has always been my favorite time of the year... been.
Everyone has made their way back to their rooms for the night dinner went well lots of laughs and stories told. I am not exactly part of the inner circle but after becoming great friends with Feyre she invited me to a family dinner one time and the rest is history, these people are like my family now. I picked up my glass and took the last sallow. I was the last one in the living room making my way back to my room, I changed into some comfortable night clothes and was about ready to rest for the night when I remembered I forgot some gifts that I didn't put under the tree.
Making down the hallway with the arm full of gifts I stopped dead in my tracks has I heard hush talking coming from bottom of the stairs slowly making my way the top of the stairs I peeked down staircase my whole body teased, there standing was Azriel and Elain. They were so close oh so close to each bout ready to kiss, I can smell the arousal from here it was too much I took a step back feeling a hard body behind me glancing form the corner of my eye I seen Rhys then I felt him trying to get past my mental shields I drop them "go to you room y/n." I gave him a small nod and sped walked to my room and locked the door behind me.
~~
I shouldn't be upset about what had happened I have seen the way he looked at Elain and how he started to get closer to her and seeing me less and less. We were never really an official thing I mean we talked a lot and we slept together, and I would be crazy not to say it wasn't the best sex I had in a while but with all of the bonding that we had and a strong friendship even if was with benefits I would be lying if I said I didn't form feelings for the shadow singer. The deal was sold one night after he snuck into my room after a mission, and we spent the night together we didn't just have sex we made love and after we cuddle close to each other before he drifted off to sleep, he told me he loved me I believed him. What a fool I was to let him break those walls of mine to let me fall for him, I know better now.
I stood in front of the mirror looking at the work I put into this outfit a smiling being bought on my face. I wore a black gown that had sparkles all the way through it that looked like starlight, with slits coming up both legs and stopping at my hips, the back was open while the straps gently wrapped around my neck with a soft chain then it drops down to a plugging neck line, my eyes were done with a smokey look and my hair was pinned off to one side and my natural waves danced across my back. Tonight, everyone is going out to Rita's it seems like it's been forever since I see them all together it will be nice to catch up with them all and with the news a heard from Feyre a couple weeks ago, she told me that Azriel and Elaine made it official to everyone. Since that night I caught them in the hall I decided to completely stop going over there and seeing them other than Feyre but that is going to change because I miss the friendships, I formed those amazing people and it look those weeks or months to build myself back up from the heart break if that was even worth calling what Azriel and I had it was just one siding but now since back to a better self and not going to go crawling back to a man that clearing never really truly wanted me, he is going to truly see what he is missing.
Short time passed and stood in front of the packed bar the music and laughter poured out to the empty streets taking a deep breath I made my way to the door. It didn't take me long to spot the whole inner circle in the booth they always sit at while here, looking them all over before I make my way to them, I seen Aziel and Elaine sitting to close together there wasn't room to even breath through and he had his arm flung around her shoulders she was resting her head in his side while he smiled down at her fondly I let a small hurt smile flash across my face and shake my head realizing right there that didn't love me and never did.
Azriel POV
Smiling down at Elaine while she leaned into my side I glance back up to where Cassin was going on about the building he destroyed in summer when my eyes landed on and focused on the figure that was making their way over to our table blinking and swallowing hard, I realized that it was y/n straighten up and slide my arm from Elaines side and sit up and looked me with questionable face but I couldn't take my eyes off of y/n as she comes to the table she looked absolutely divine, I haven't seen or heard from her since solstice and I haven't been able to seek her out busy with missions and well Elaine, oh Elaine glancing over to her on my side she was now talking to Mor on the other side of her.
"Hello everyone!" the sweet voice that was sweet has honey now sounds like it has been hardened. Feyre jumped up and pulled y/n into a hug. "I'm so glad you came!" Feyre's smiled beamed at her friend y/n's smile matched hers but there was less sparkle in those beautiful eyes, she slid into the booth right across from me I couldn't take my eyes off of her something felt like it was pulling me towards her even my shadows wanted to leave their master to go to her sides. I cleared my throat it all of a sudden feel dry, to dry. "Hello" she picked up her drink and slowly took a drink and looking down into the glass "How are you?" I tried again to get her attention one of my shadow flew over the tabletop and wrapped around her wrist she glanced up them looking straight into my eyes it felt like she was looking into my soul cutting right through me. "Hello, shadowsinger." there was ice in her voice I felt my body flinch at the coldness in it, this wasn't right I shake my head and looked her back in the eyes "what is going on with you, haven't seen you in weeks, months and you are so cold." I paused and looked her watching her face for any changes she let out a small low chuckle that sounded more like a huff like she hasn't laugh forever then she looked at me the hurt in her eyes were too much to bare to look at then she spoke with no emotion in her voice at all "well, that what happens when love lets you down." she stood from her spot and walked away through the crowded and I felt it then something shattered into a million pieces and I couldn't stop the tears from falling.

Series Masterlist
-đŸ
The nerves had you wide awake all night, mind wondering about how things were gonna be. How they were gonna be. Would they like you? Would.. would they only like you because youâre an omega? No. Chan seemed genuine about liking you before the news. It was hard to believe though, such a handsome man. A handsome well rounded man liking you? You tossed and turned in your bed trying to shut your brain off. You didnât remember falling asleep but last time you saw on the clock was 5am. Shit- you had be up to help you dad at 9. âFuck meâ you groaned.
RING RING
Your alarm was going off. The loud sound waking you made you mad. You grabbed your phone trying to turn it off not being able to hit the button. You were about to throw it against the wall if it didnât stop. The sound deafening, finally you hit the button. Ah silence. You turned back into your bed cuddling up to your stuffed animal before drifting back off to sleep. A few hours later a knock at your door was heard. You grumbled out a âgo awayâ tossing your pillow over your head. A chuckle came from the door but you were too tired to even respond.
âDidnât sleep well?â A voice said as you felt the bed dip beside you. You thought it was your dad at first so you took your pillow smacking him with it. âHey!â He said with another chuckle before peeling the pillow from your face. His eyes met your sleepy ones, it was Chan. It was Chan! Your eyes widen a bit scrambling to sit up. Your hair was all a mess, with no shorts under your long shirt. âYou know itâs 11 right?â He said with that oh so heart melting smile of his plastered to his face. âFuck!â You said scrambling to find your phone âDonât worry love, your dad wanted you to sleep. I stopped by the store and he said you were out coldâ he said.
He brought his hand up to move some hair from your face settling his hand on your cheek. âCrazy how youâre still so beautiful after waking up.â God your heart was about to explode. âAm notâ you somehow get out feeling it getting stuck in your throat. He chuckled leaning in close before kissing your cheek softly. âIâd never lie to you, my beautiful mateâ he said oh so softly. He smiled seeing your face become a pretty pink âwant to sleep more?â He asked looking over your face. You shook your head âno- I should get up and packâ you said avoiding his gaze.
âJust gotta bring clothes we got everything else covered! The boys have been decorating it for youâ he said. âYou guys didnât have too-â you said in a low voice. âLove, my beautiful darling. You will be spoiled beyond belief so get use to it.â He said eyes darting over your face. You couldnât help but smile the pink on your face quickly turning a deep red. He kissed your cheek once more before getting up. âTake your time love, Iâll be in the living room.â He said before getting up leaving your room.
When you finally got up yawning as you stretched. You looked out your window, it was so nice outside. It was a nice day out the sun breaming into your room. You let out a relaxed sigh taking a seat at the edge of your bed. You grabbed your bag throwing clothes in, you could always come back to get more when needed. Two bags later you walked down the stairs seeing Chan scrolling his phone. When he saw you walk down his face went a bit red. Seeing you just in your long bed shirt that came down to your knees. He gulped a bit âIâm not some horny teenagerâ he said to himself trying to snap himself out of it.
âBags are packed, Iâm gonna get a shower quick if thatâs ok?â You said sitting the bags by the couch. âYeah- itâs fineâ he said eyes looking over your body. âAwesome Iâll beâ you said trailing off before bending over to grab a pair of panties and your hoodie from the clothes you had packed. The way you bent down gave Chan a nice view of your ass. Shit- his mouth dropped. Purple, Purple panties with- with lace. His head spun mind going a mile a minute. âI bet you look so pretty with those soaking wetâ. âRight backâ you continued snapping him back to reality. âY-yeah take your timeâ he said face heating up from his thoughts.
After your shower you came back downstairs hair all fixed, make up done and your cutest dress you could find. He smiled wide looking at you making you blush instantly. âThink theyâll like it?â You said your eyes big like the cute little puppy you were. âTheyâll love it, I love itâ he said the latter coming out as a stutter which made you blush even more. âWe have a bit till everythingâs ready at the houseâ he said. âWanna watch a movie or something?â He asked.
âOh yeah! I have Netflix but only on my tv in my room. This tv is kinda- oldâ you chuckle âit doesnât get all the fancy stuff like that only a few channelsâ you said.
âIâm fine with that, if you are. Canât say Iâm not gonna try and cuddle youâ he said the words coming out sweetly.
âIâd be a little sad if you didnât wanna cuddle while we lay in my bedâ you teased walking towards the stairs leaving Chan in the chair a bit surprised. âLast one up the stairs is an old manâ you said sticking your tongue out as you bolted up the stairs.
âHey you little brat!â He said laughing âyou just wait!â He chanced you up the stairs as you got to the top you felt his warm arms come around you making you squeal. He picked you up twirling you around before playfully tossing you on the bed. âOld man huh? You sound like the boysâ he said with another laugh. God that laugh, if thatâs all you could hear the rest of your life youâd be happy. His laugh was like a warm cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter day. So warm, so comforting. But that was Chan honestly. Youâve never felt this comfortable so fast with someone it was like you knew each other for years. Like an old married couple.
âWell If itâs more than one person maybe we are rightâ you teased. He shook his head rolling his eyes with that big smile. âYou gonna come cuddle me or just stand there looking cute?â You said. The confidence you felt all of a sudden was definitely a surprise to both of you.
âDonât know, I donât think I heard a pleaseâ he said sticking his tongue out at you like you had to him earlier.
You rolled your eyes âah I seeâ you said making him tilt his head a bit âsomeone likes beggingâ you said as you started to giggle.
He picked up the pillow you had thrown at him early smacking you with it. He jumped on the bed pinning you under him before tickling your sides. You laughed uncontrollably squirming under him âbetter watch the mouth of yours itâs gonna get you in trouble one of these daysâ he says in a teasing tone. He couldnât deny having you laughing like this was making his heart swell, but having you under him- was making something else swell.
Once he stopped tickling you his eyes locked on yours something came over him. His eyes darting to your lips and as if you read his mind you smiled âif you want to kiss me then do itâ you said eyes looking straight at him with a glint in them. And he did. He did just that leaning down lips crashing into yours. His hand came up to Caress your cheek deepening the kiss. He tasted like mint with a hint of chocolate from a cookie your mom had given to him before leaving this morning. He smelled so good too, like firewood and cologne. Your eyelashes fluttered feeling him becoming hard on top of you. His hips slightly rutting against you as he deepened the kiss. He wasnât even aware he was moving but he could definitely feel himself getting hornier by the minute.
He leaned to your neck almost moaning when you gave him full access. He nipped at your neck kissing it sloppily fuck did he wanna mark you. He wanted to dig his teeth into every inch of you but he wasnât sure if youâd be comfortable with it. Especially having everything so new so he decided to suck. Suck those purple and red marks on your neck. The whimpers you let out made him smirk against your skin. He started to rut his hip more into you, his fully hard cock painfully trapped in his pants.
The smell of your arousal hasnât even hit him yet. Not until you bucked your hips back to his snapping him out of the trance he was in. âY/n-â he said pulling away to look at you. Big mistake. The lustful expression on your face was enough to drive him crazy. However fighting everything in him he looked over you for your consent. âFuck Chan I want you so badly but- but you think itâs a good idea to do it here?â
Dammit.
You were right, to both of your displeasures you were right. If he fucked you here especially for the first time- and if your parents came home? âDammitâ he said frustrated. He looked down at you as you pouted a bit âmâsorryâ you said softly. He shook his head before placing a soft kiss to your lips. âDonât be sorry love, youâre right. As much as I want to. Once I start I donât think Iâll be able to control myself.â He admitted.
âIs everyone at the house?â You asked tilting your head a bit. âYeah they- wait. I forgot we have a cabin too. Itâs just up the road a bit from the house!â He said his words coming out more excited than he meant to. âWanna uhm go there?â You said. He grinned seeing you get a bit shy. âYou want me that bad?â He teased.
Your heart was pounding not knowing what was coming over you, you felt shy, small even. Looking up at him with nervous eyes his gaze meeting yours. The smell of you was getting more intense it was different from before though. Something in him was telling him that he needed to take you. Needed you more than ever, his mate his love. He stood up quickly taking your hand as he basically pulled you behind him. He grabbed the bags at the door throwing them in the car. âTell your dad that we left early but will stop by tomorrow!â He said closing your door as you sat down.
The glint in his eyes was different, especially as your smell circled in the car making his head dizzy. He drove like a mad man to that cabin. He took your hand pulling you to the cabin as soon as he had that door shut behind you he became some animal. He kissed you hungrily grinding his body against yours his hands not so gently pulling your dress up. âY/n- fuck. Itâs like youâre in heat or something. Your smell is just- just making me lose controlâ he said lips nibbling against your neck.
You held onto his arms, his big muscular arms. He almost ripped the panties you had on while trying to take them off. His warm hands came down to your clit lightly playing with it. âY/n. I want to make it clear. If I do anything to make you uncomfortable tell me.â He said making sure to keep eye contact with you. âI need you to use your words at all times so I know youâre ok got it?â He said. You nodded eyes staring back at his âok.â And with that ok he was gone he kissed his way down your neck taking your straps off your shoulder as he did.
He watched as your dress fell to the floor leaving you completely naked in-front of him. You moved your hands blocking to cover your body on instinct. He quickly let out a low growl âno hiding. No hiding that beautiful body. Fuckâ he said moving quickly lips attaching to your nipples. âThis beautiful body thatâs all mineâ he said nibbling at your nipples. You groaned in response rubbing your hips together for some kinda relief. He smirks against your skin before he starts kissing down your body. He nips at the skin a bit getting to your already soaking cunt.
He can feel saliva pulling in his mouth. He made it a mission just then to make you cum at least once on his tongue before fucking you. He needed to taste everything you had. Then something clicked a little. He wanted to be first. He had to be first. The first one to see anything of you. To hear you to taste you everything before anyone in the pack could even imagine it. He dove headfirst into the pool of your cunt. Lapping his tongue long against your folds flicking it perfectly at your clit. He brought his big hands to hold around your thighs keeping you spread for him.
âChan!â You moaned out gripping his hair tightly. Your body shuddered as you looked down at him. Eyes hazy, as he sucked your clit so effortlessly pulling moans from you. He freed one hand bringing it up to rub it against your folds before pushing his fingers into you. He needed to make sure you could take him. Take his full length, his full knot in you. He pumped his fingers in and out the noises filing the air. Your body moved on its own out of pleasure as you started to grind against his tongue making him moan. He dug his nails into your thighs the small sting making you whimper.
Youâd be lying if you said it didnât feel good, that you didnât like the slight pain of it. Fuck. At this rate youâd be cumming in record time. âChan- please- Iâm close! So fucking close!â You said as your hands gripped at his shoulders for some support. You felt like you were floating away, the only thing holding you here was him. His fingers picked up the pace pushing deep into. He nipped at the inner of your thigh the bit of pain making you clench around him. He let out another low groan realizing you liked it. He quickly sunk his sharp teeth into your leg blood flooding his mouth.
âF- fuck!â Is all you could cry out as you felt yourself fading away into bliss. You came hard around his fingers moaning loudly as he lapped at the bite mark. He sucked his fingers clean before licking all your juices. The taste of you sending wave of need up his spine. You tasted heavily, like sweet homemade cookies, something he sure would be addicted to. He kissed his way up to you taking his pants off as he did. His cock was so painfully hard, the tip red dripping with pre cum. His eyes were hooded glossed over as he leaned into your lips.
He aligned his length to your entrance before pushing in slowly. As much as he wanted to fuck you hard. Wanted to make you cry his name over and over he needed to take it slow at first. His cock inches its way into your warm walls settling so perfect like it was made to be there. He looked over your face for some reassurance before he started moving. You nodded slightly knowing what he was waiting for before you could even blink he was pounding into you. He fucked up into at such an angel hitting your walls and every sensitive spot it could.
He crashed his lips into your biting your bottom lip before pulling away again. His speed was no joke he was like a rabbit. You felt your legs becoming like jelly, feeling weak and wobbly. He wrapped them around him carrying you to the bedroom where he placed you on all fours. The new angle had you seeing stars and maybe even god himself. He was hitting your g-spot so perfectly, hands gripping harshly at your hips as he dug his nails into them.
âMy perfect mate- fuck you were made for me.â He said moving his body to press against your back. His hand came down to play with your clit as the sound of his balls slapping you filled the air. âMade to take my cock. Made to take my knot. You. Are. Mine.â He said punctuating those words with a harder thrust each time. You almost screamed out in pleasure âall yours- Iâm all yours alpha!â
The sound of you calling him alpha made his mind skip. It went blank but I was flooded with so much. Without thinking he bit harshly at your shoulder sinking in as he marked you as his. This mark being a permanent reminder that you belonged to him. That he was your alpha.
âShit! Shit! Cu-cumming!â You screamed body falling on the bed as Chan fucked into you harder and harder deeper and deeper. âYeah thatâs it cum on my cock, cum on your alphas cock. Such a good little omega. My good little omegaâ he said. The sounds he was letting out as he chased his high were almost pornagraphic. They were gutterle low groans mixed with whimpers of pleaser. âGonna take my knot? Gonna let me stuff you full? Hmm my pretty omega.â He groaned.
âYes fuck- I want your knot please alpha!â You managed to choke out as he pumped a few more times into you before pushing his knot into your abused wet hole. You felt his ball twitch as he came so deep in you. Your legs shook as another orgasm washed over you at the feeling. Fuck youâd never wanna feel anything else. The way he felt so deep in you, so full of all of him. His arms wrapped around you as he rutted himself into you. âMineâ he kept saying softly. His head laid on your back leaving kisses everywhere.
You both just laid there catching your breaths before his phone rang. âEverything done. Come home. Please come home. I wanna see her. Please channie!â The voice on the other line whined. Chan was still trying to catch his breath a bit as he spoke âalright lix Iâll be there soon ok?â Chan responded before turned to you. âThink you can walkâ he teased. âProbably, think you can pull out?â You teased back making you both laugh. âYeah I could for a bit nowâ he said before kissing your cheek. âSeriously!â You said playfully smacking him.
âHey hey! Thatâs abuse!â He joked before pulling you into a sweet kiss. âLetâs get cleaned up so you can meet the rest of your matesâ he said with a grin. You smiled âI canât wait!â
âđŸâ
After getting cleaned up and making sure you both rehydrated Chan drove down the road a bit to the house. It was beautiful old ranch house huge, with a lot of land. A swimming pull out back, plenty of room for a garden. A swing set sat on one side and a crabapple tree on the other. You couldnât believe how big this place was. âThis was a rough house when I first got it but I fixer up pretty goodâ Chan said with a proud smile. When you pulled in you could see bright sunshine eyes staring at the car.
Chan got out first as the hoard ran to you âbe gentle you maniacsâ he said. He opened your door letting you step out. They all smiled at you Felix piping up first âcan I hug you!â He said with a big lip out and how on earth would you ever be able to say no to that? âOf courseâ you said softly and hes already tackling you. His arms wrapped around your body pulling you into a hug. He smelled like chocolate and a hint of vanilla. âYouâre even more beautiful than I rememberâ he said looking up at you with puppy dog eyes. Ugh your heart, he was so fucking cute. He could get away with murder with that look.
Your face went red before you could say thank you another man approached âI see why you werenât hereâ he said looking at the fresh marking on your neck. âHushâ Chan said with a grin. âIâm Minho by the wayâ the man said with a smile. He pointed at everyone having them introduce themselves before Felix dragged you into the kitchen. âDinner should be ready soonâ he said clinging to your arm. âWe made your favorite, if it suckers Minho made itâ someone said behind you making you laugh. It was seungmin he stood at the door way leaning against it.
âLix why donât you show her, her roomâ Chan suggested making Felixâs face light up. âIâm coming too!â Changbin said rushing behind you both taking hold of your other arm. They pulled you through the pretty house, looking around it made you wonder. Who decorated in here? It was so nice? Not what most menâs houses would be. Looked like something straight from a magazine. Everything methodically put together and situated perfectly. âYall got an interior designer or something?â You asked.
âHm? Oh the house? Hyunjin really likes that kinda stuff. Heâs good at it ainât heâ Changbin said with a smile. When you nod he continues âtell him itâll make him really happyâ he said. These men and their pretty smiles are gonna drive you crazy. âClose your eyesâ Felix said. When you did you heard the door squeak open. âOk ok open!â He said with a wide smile. You were met with a beautiful styled gothic almost room with plushies decorating it. There were candles, a computer, books and pictures of you and your family.
Your heart swelled at the look of it feeling tear almost well up âdo you love it!â Felix said coming up to look at you. âWait donât cry!â He said taking your face into your hands, he softly wiped away the tears that dared to come out. âAh itâs just really sweet of you all to do this. Makes me feel.. really care forâ you said.
A pair of arms wrapped around you feeling a warm body press against your back hugging you tightly âyou are really cared for, weâre here to spoil you prettyâ Changbin said resting his head on your shoulder. Your face heated up making Felix giggle âyou got her blushingâ he said in a teasing tone. âYouâre just jealous heâs hugging me and youâre notâ you said sticking your tongue out. Felix chuckled before all but tackling you again laying his head in between your breast. He looked up at you with a grin âyou smell so good. You sure your mom didnât just bake you?â He said cheesily.
You rolled your eyes smiling down at him âsays the one with little chocolate chip frecklesâ you said. His face turned pink in an instant burring his face into your chest to hide. âSeriously how am I gonna survive with you all?â You said with a light chuckle âto many pretty menâ
Changbin squeezed you tightly âooh she thinks we are prettyâ he almost purred into your neck. âDinners ready!â You heard Minho yell from down the hall. Changbin picked you up twirling you around making Felix drop you. âLast one there has to sit beside Minhoâ he said before letting you go and sprinting down the hallway. Lix and you both started laughing âheâs somethingâ Felix said interlocking his hand with yours. âYou really like the room though?â He asked. You nod smiling at him âI love itâ
Hyunjin was standing at the door smiling as he saw you âoh Hyunjin! I wanted to tell you the house is really pretty. Youâre really good at design.â You complimented him. His face lit up cheeks turning red âI-uh thank youâ he stuttered out. âAssess in chairs before jeongin scarfs everythingâ Minho said. Chan smiled taking your hand having you sit beside him. âAlright you gremlins dig inâ Minho said before making his plate. He watched you as made your plate taking a bite. Your eyes looked over at him looking like a deer in headlights almost. âWell?â He said staring intently. âDeliciousâ you said with a smile.
He smiled back smugly âof course it is I made itâ he teased as he ate. The room was quiet as everyone ate. After filling up it, the tiredness hit you. You yawned rubbing your eyes softly âsomeoneâs sleepyâ Felix said. Chan nodded âshe didnât sleep wellâ he said as he rubbed your back. âSure itâs not from your fun you two had?â Seungmin said making everyone laugh. He rolled his eyes âcould be that tooâ he said smugly.
âIt is late too, why donât we clean up and snuggle on the couch? We all can watch a movie or something.â Chan suggested everyoneâs eyes lighting up. âI call sitting beside y/n!â Jisung said first time you heard from him today. Chan did mention he was a bit shy especially around new people so hearing him say it made you happy.
As everyone got up taking their plates to the sink they ran to get blankets and everything to make it comfortable. You put the plate in the sink while Minho loaded the dishwasher âwant help?â You asked. He looked at you trying not to smile. âNo.â He said bluntly. âGo join the othersâ he said putting more dishes in. As you walked away he thought you listened but here you come back with the rest of the plates from the table. âI told youâ he said but you cut him off âyeah yeah hereâs the rest of the dishesâ you said playfully sitting them on the counter.
He chuckled a bit looking at you âsuch a little brat hmm?â He said in a humming tone. âJust like helpingâ you said patting his back softly âthank you by the way. Dinner was really really goodâ you said smiling. Ooh that smile the way you complimented him his heart was pounding. You were so pretty. Making him blush a bit âAn-y timeâ he said focusing back to his dishes trying to hide his face. You made your way to the living room seeing all the blankets on the floor. They made such a big pile with pillows everywhere, the cushions from the couch on the floor as well.
âY/n letâs gooâ Seungmin whined. You rolled your eyes making your way to the pile taking your seat beside Chan and Jisung. To your surprise the other members were cuddled up to each other. No fragile masculinity here. Felix had his head laid on Changbins leg, seungmin and Jeongin leaning against the couch. Hyunjin took his place in Changbins other leg. They were about to press start Jisung interlocking his arms with yours. Chan had his arm around your waist pulling you a bit closer. Jisung whined at the movement âhey I called sitting with herâ he huffed making Chan chuckle âsorry sorryâ
As they went to press play you stopped them âwait Minho isnât in here we canât startâ you said looking over at the kitchen. âItâs ok pretty, heâll be inâ Felix said looking over at you with a smile. You pouted though making them all coo. âWe canât start if everyone not here, that not fair.â You said crossing your arms. So they waited. Anything to make sure you were happy. As Minho walked in he was surprised âyeah didnât start it?â He asked.
Chan shook his head ây/n wanted everyone in the room before we startedâ he said with a smile. Of course you did. Of course you were this sweet caring person who even cared about him. He cleared his throat looking over at you âwell Iâm hereâ he said looking where to sit. âYou can sit hereâ you said patting the space between your legs. Were you trying to kill him? Seriously. He made his way to you taking his seat between your thighs leaning back slightly. As the movie started you started to run your hands against Minhos back. It sent shivers up his back the touch feeling so light.
Chan smiled to himself, it felt like you belonged here. Like youâve always have been apart of their family. You just meshed so well with them it made his heart so full. You leaned your head against Chan his hand coming up behind to play with your hair. Thatâs it you were out. As soon as he started to play with your hair your body became pudding melting into him. Falling asleep fast your arms held onto Minho wrapping your arms around his waist pulling him into you to cuddle. He let out a little huff but leaned into your touch. You were so warm so comforting.
Han was cuddled up to you as well, his arms wrapped around your arm head resting on your shoulder. You both were out like a light, so was half the room except Minho and Chan. Chan took the opportunity to talk to Minho âwhat do you think?â Chan said nudging him softly. âI think this is too good to be trueâ he said eyes focused on the screen. Chan chuckled softly trying not to wake you up. âIt feels so right though doesnât it?â Minho nodded in response. âYeah, to right?â He said sounding like a question.
Minho ended up nodding off shortly after talking, fully leaning into you as he drifted to sleep. Chan took a mental picture of this moment. If he died today heâd die happy.

Hello! Could I request a one shot where youâre Luffy, Ace, and Sabos sister and youâre dating Law or Zoro and they see hickies on their neck and they get all protective of their sister? Thank you, please take your time!
A/N: I picked Zoro because :) He deserves some love rnÂ
AU: kind of modern?/school/college
Characters: female reader x Zoro (plus familial ASL)Â
Cw: just brotherly gremlin acts hehe
Total word count: 1.7kÂ
Love Marks
You shuffled in the door as quietly as you could, trying not to disturb your sleeping brothers. It was still the early hours of the morning, the only one who might be up to catch you coming in would be Sabo. But with a bit of luck, you could make it up the stairs and into your room before he woke up.Â
You softly shut the front door and clicked the lock back into place, flinching at the sounds that echoed through the foyer. You put your coat on the rack silently, and turned to sneak up the stairs to your room.Â
âAhem,â The voice came from the sofa in the living room, and you froze. Your eyes darted to the source of the sound, and you found Sabo and Ace sitting on the sofa, staring at you disapprovingly. Luffy was asleep on the floor at their feet.Â
âLittle lady,â Ace said, frowning. âWeâve been up all night worried sick.â
âI slept over at a friends,â you whispered, trying not to wake Luffy.Â
âWithout permission?â Sabo hissed.
âI donât have to ask your permission for shit,â you shot back in a low voice. You werenât even mad at their charade, you were just mad you got caught. They never let you be sneaky or rebellious.
You bounded up the stairs before they had another chance to interrogate you. They got like this sometimes, your two older brothers. They always felt like they had to be the parents, even if it was more so mocking the parental role than actually fulfilling it. Luffy mustâve found out that a scolding would take place and tried to stay up to see what would happen.Â
You locked yourself in your room, but nobody tried to enter. You curled up in your bed to try and finally get some sleep, but your brain refused to listen. You tossed and turned, unable to get comfortable. With your mind racing through all of the thoughts and feelings you experienced last night, you couldnât really blame your brain for not wanting to sleep.Â
An hour later, a knock at your door came.Â
Aceâs voice came from the other side. âBreakfast,â he called, already walking back down the stairs.Â
You really didnât want to get out of bed. You had just finally gotten comfortable. Zoro had kept you plenty busy the night before, and all you wanted to do was sleep now. But your stomach was rumbling, and you had to admit the smell of the bacon was enticing. With a groan, you rolled out of bed and descended the stairs.Â
âIâm surprised youâre awake,â Sabo said, flipping a pancake on the griddle.Â
âHungry.â You took your usual seat at the barstool between Luffy and Ace, reaching for a piece of bacon on the plate in the center.Â
âDonât eat yet!â Sabo said, smacking your hand away, but you grabbed a piece and shoved it in your mouth anyway.Â
âHey, does your friend have bugs in her house?â Luffy asked curiously.Â
âNo!â you scoff, shooting him a look. âSheâs not like you with your crazy beetle obsession!â
âThen what are these marks on your neck?â He poked at a tender spot on your neck, and you could hear the deviousness in his voice. You cursed yourself for falling for such an obvious setup.Â
Luffy pulled your hair back, revealing your neck that was littered with bruises. You swatted his hand away quickly, but it was too late. Ace and Sabo had already seen the marks that Zoro had made the night before.
âSome friend,â Ace muttered under his breath, and Luffy laughed at his words. Your cheeks burned as you readjusted your hair to cover your neck again.Â
âWho is it?â Luffy asked, looking at you with wide eyes.Â
âWeâll need to have a chat with him,â Sabo said. He put a pancake on your plate and gave you a toothy grin.Â
âItâs nobody,â you said quickly. You pushed your plate to Luffy, hoping that food would distract him from the conversation. You had lost your appetite anyway.Â
âItâs obviously somebody,â Ace purred. âOr else you wouldnât be hiding it. But this guy must be important.â
âAnd heâs not intimidated by the fact you live with three guys,â Sabo added.Â
âYouâre my brothers,â you said, disgusted with the implications.Â
âZoro!â Luffy shouted. Your head whipped around to glare at him, but he was looking out the window, deep in thought.Â
âHow long have you known?â you gasped.
Luffy had to have noticed all the times you and Zoro spent together walking around campus, and how he always found you all sitting outside between classes. The two of you werenât making out in front of him or anything obvious, but you and Zoro hadnât exactly been subtle around Luffy either. Then again, Luffy wasnât the most observant person in the world, so you were a little surprised that he got it so quickly.Â
âHuh?â Luffy said, his eyes returning to you. âWhat do you mean?â He pointed out the window. âZoroâs here.â
There was a knock on the door, and your eyes widened in horror at the fact that you had just outed Zoro as being the culprit. Sabo and Ace glanced at each other, a silent understanding passing between the two.
Ace took off down the hall and you felt your heart drop. You chased after him, but Sabo quickly jumped in front of your path, blocking you.Â
âSabo, move!â you tried to skirt around him, but he matched your movements perfectly to keep you boxed in.Â
âLuffy, hold her down.âÂ
Luffyâs rubber arms shot around you, wrapping you tightly in his grasp. Sabo smirked at you, and took off down the hallway to join Ace.Â
âZoro!â You screamed, but Luffyâs hand covered your mouth to muffle your warnings. You tried to bite down on his hand, but he just laughed at your attempts.Â
You heard the door open and you braced yourself. You could still see Ace and Sabo standing in the foyer, their cocky grins facing to where you knew Zoro was standing.Â
âZoro!â Sabo greeted him. âHow ya been, buddy?â
âPretty good, Iâd imagine,â Ace answered slyly for him.Â
âWha..?â You could hear Zoroâs voice from the other side of the door, and you could only imagine what his face looked like. The poor man had no idea what he was about to get himself into.
âYou look pretty sleepy, bud,â Ace smirked. âLate night?â
âWere you up training?â Sabo asked.
âI wouldnât call it training,â Ace said, and you heard Luffy giggle behind you.Â
You could hear the confusion in Zoroâs voice. âWhat are you-â
Sabo stepped outside, out of your view. âCome on in for breakfast, buddy.â
Ace stepped out to join him. You could hear him murmur something to your boyfriend, but you couldnât make out exactly what he had said.Â
The three of them stepped inside your home, Aceâs and Saboâs arm wrapped around his shoulders, with Zoro squished in between the two. As he scanned the room, he saw you with Luffyâs arms wrapped around you and covering your mouth to keep you quiet. His good eye found yours, and you sent a silent apology his way for what was about to come.Â
The moment he saw the position you were in, he tensed up, as if he were trying to decide whether he should bolt out the door or keep it casual. You couldnât blame him, youâd probably consider running as well. But Ace and Sabo both tightened their grip on him, keeping him from doing anything rash.Â
âTell me, Zoro,â Ace muttered. âWho exactly did you come to see this morning?â
Zoro sputtered, his words failing him. He looked at you, dumbfounded by the situation you both were in. His cheeks were tinted pink from embarrassment, and you could only assume yours were the same.
âLuffy, you can let her go now,â Sabo said. âLetâs all have breakfast and a little chat.â
You all sat down, Zoro opting to sit next to Luffy instead of you, which you thanked him silently for.Â
Once a full spread of pancakes, eggs, and bacon were distributed throughout five plates, everyone sat down silently. You couldnât bring yourself to meet anyoneâs eyes, so you opted to stare intensely at your eggs instead.Â
âSo!â Sabo said cheerily. âAnything anyone wants to tell the family?â
Silence filled the room except for the sound of Luffy shoveling his breakfast into his mouth. You could feel your older brothers staring at you, but you refused to meet their eyes.Â
âI can start,â Sabo offered, briskly moving the conversation along. âLuffy found some super weird marks on Y/Nâs neck this morning after she snuck back into the house. Zoro, you wouldnât happen to know anything about that, would you?â
âStop.â Your voice came out a hoarse whisper, and you cleared your throat before speaking again. âSabo, cut it out.â
âI think itâs neat you guys are dating,â Luffy said, oblivious to the mood in the room. âIâve always wanted Zoro to be a part of the family.â
âYouâre not helping, Luffy!â Zoro snapped at him.Â
âGround rules!â Sabo yelled out, trying to reign in the conversation before Zoro and Luffyâs fight got too intense. âWe need ground rules.â
âOne - No spicy business in this house,â Ace piped in. âI donât want to hear it.â
You rolled your eyes. âYou bring people home all the time, idiot.â
âI donât want to hear my sister moaning out-â
âStop!â you yelled, desperate to cut him off. âFine! You win!â You werenât planning on actually adhering to that stipulation, but you would agree to it for now if it got Ace to stop talking.Â
âTwo - Tell us when you won't be home,â Sabo said, eyeing you. âWe were actually worried about you last night, you know.â
You nod, feeling guilty about keeping them up. You knew that Ace and Sabo had probably stayed up all night waiting for you, and not as some silly ploy to embarrass you.Â
âIâm sorry about that,â you said, and you genuinely were.Â
âThree,â Luffy said. âYou take me on your dates and pay for my dinner.â
âLike hell!â Both you and Zoro shouted. You glanced at each other and smiled, realizing your synchronicity before your eyes quickly darted away and a blush rose to your cheeks.Â
âFine, fine,â Luffy said, pouting a little bit that his idea got shot down so fast. âThree - Zoro, you better not hurt her.â
âOr weâll beat your ass,â Ace added.Â
âEven with three swords, I donât think you can take us all.â Sabo said, him and the boys smirking at each other.Â
âNoted,â Zoro said. âThough I have no intention of hurting her. In fact, Iâm not entirely sure how I was lucky enough to get her to look my way in the first place.â
You smiled at his words, a warm feeling rising in your chest. Suddenly, your breakfast looked a lot more appetizing.

Chapter 1 - An affair to remember
A/N: Here we have a new idea of mine, I thought Iâd give it a shot. Leave a comment, heart or reblog if you enjoyed reading this!Â
Pairing: Tony Stark x F! ReaderÂ
Warning: 18+ age gap.
Word count: 2.8k
An affair to remember
.
You tiptoed around the foyer to head upstairs, being as silent as you could so as to not wake anybody.Â
âAh shit!â
You cursed under your breath as your elbow bumped into the wooden railing of the stairs, smarting a little as you rubbed it. You werenât much of a rule-breaker but every now and then, you liked to let loose, especially since your best friend Isabelle was back in town. Her travel schedule was crazy and she spent months in remote jungles photographing the wildlife there.Â
Tonight you, her and your friend Sebastian met up at Blarney Cove - your favourite pub for a much needed catch-up. One drink led to four and then escalated until you lost count, you danced and sang your heart out, shared gossip and avoided Sebastianâs drunken advances all night. You wished he would just give up, you practically grew up together and he was always a friend for you, but his feelings developed into something more, your didnât. A part of you felt bad for having rejected him so many times, especially since he was quite the catch. He was tall, handsome, a smooth-talker plus his family was filthy rich and had the world at their feet. You two got along like a house on fire and it was always a good time with him but you just wished he would stay in his limits.Â
Izzy had been a witness to it all, she was your sounding board, and someone who always knew the right things to say. Somewhere her heart went out to Sebastian since he was so evidently smitten but she never coaxed you to do or act on something you were never going to feel. Only a couple of years older, she was like the sister you never had. And with her gone most of the year, this meetup was extra special. Â
You stumbled your way up to your room, closing the door quietly before rushing to the bathroom where you hurled the contents of your stomach down the toilet, cursing yourself for having made terrible choices of drinks.Â
Whoâs idea was it to down five tequila shots back to back anyways? Oh yeah, that was you.Â
Not bothering to change, you threw yourself on your plush bed, falling asleep almost instantly, thinking of the absolute field day youâd have tomorrow.Â
.
Faint music reached your ears as you roused from your slumber, a dull ache in your muscles and head made itself evident almost instantly as you sat up, rubbing sleep from your eyes. Letting out a groan at the sight of your runny mascara now stuck to the back of your hands, you threw the duvet off your legs and made your way to the bathroom to clean up.
The Advil you stashed in the mirror cabinet came in handy, you really were ready to sleep off that hangover but you realized it wouldnât be possible since your parents were hosting a party today for a bunch of people you didnât care about. Still, as a part of the Y/L/N family, you were expected to show up.Â
Texting your friends to come over for a pool party, you got dressed in a cute summer dress and made yourself look less hungover with a little bit of makeup. With one last glance in the mirror, you made your way downstairs where polite chatter and terrible lounge music grew louder and louder.Â
Plastering on a smile you greeted everybody, making polite conversation while looking out for your parents who were deep in conversation with one of their suit-clad friends who had his back to you. Your father beckoned you over with a wide grin on his face upon locating you, by the looks of it, the champagne had been popped rather early today. And your Dad was already on his third mimosa, chuckling loudly at a funny remark his friend made before wrapping you in a hug.Â
âThere you are, my love. Meet Mr. Stark, heâs a dear friend of mine. And Anthony, meet Y/N, my slightly hungover daughter.âÂ
âDad!â you nudged him, not missing the eye-roll your mother threw your way. Nothing ever got past him, but still, he was the coolest Dad you couldâve asked for. You smiled at the man in front of you, offering your hand confidently.Â
âIn her defense Carl, Saturdays are officially meant for nursing hangovers. Nice to meet you, Miss Y/L/N.â he shook your hand with a friendly smile. As your hands touched, there was an unmistakable spark you felt, something warm, cozy and yet electric. You were sure he felt it too because he glanced down at the same time you did, releasing it with a deliberate chuckle.Â
âKids and their cliched habits.â your mother muttered, shaking her head disapprovingly.Â
âParents and their stereotypical beliefs.â you retaliated, grabbing a mimosa for yourself from one the trays the waiters were passing around.Â
âCome on Jen, sheâs visiting, play nice.â your father pulled her aside before you could react, not wanting the situation to escalate further. You saw them bicker in hushed whispers as they walked away, leaving you with Mr. Stark who raised his glass, waiting with a sympathetic smile.Â
âTroubled childhood?â you asked, not exactly knowing how to make small talk with him.
âOh you have no idea.â he flashed you a grin before downing the rest of his drink, raising his eyebrows in a challenge while you did the same.Â
You couldnât help but notice how very, very good-looking he was for his age. Neatly trimmed beard, sharp blue suit that looked tailormade for him, a charming smile that caused your tummy to flip. This man was definitely one of the best looking forty something year old youâd ever met.Â
âSo Miss Y/L/N, what do you do besides rage on a Friday night?âÂ
âI am a freelance photographer, mostly portraits. I work with fashion magazines and models for portfolios. And please, itâs Y/N, Mr. Stark.âÂ
âInteresting. And itâs Tony for you. You graduated three years ago, right? I remember Carl showing pictures some time ago.âÂ
You nodded, continuing to describe your line of work as he asked more questions, showing genuine interest. It made you realize he was quite easy to talk to, he had funny quips and anecdotes to share that had you in splits and you ended up chatting for a long time before your friends showed up and pulled you away.
You felt his lingering stare at the back of your head as you made your way inside, a part of you had not wanted the conversation to end so soon.Â
Changing into a red bikini, you slathered waterproof sunscreen down your body and jumped in the pool with your friends while the âadultsâ carried on with more booze. Izzy was sharing one of her stories about an encounter with a lioness in Tanzania when Sebastian dove in right next to you, making a big splash just to annoy you.Â
âWhat are you twelve?â you grumbled, swimming away from him to let your friend continue her story. He got busy with getting cans of beer with the other guys soon, much to your relief.Â
âIs he doing the whole âpushing you down the swing and pulling on your pigtailsâ from kindergarten now?â Izzy giggled, handing you a bottle of your favourite beer.Â
âI mean, ew!â you rolled your eyes, glancing over your shoulder at Sebastian who was smirking at you, giving you a wink.Â
âGoing out on a date with him wouldnât do you any harm, Y/N. Iâve heard heâs great in bed and itâs about time you got your cherry popped.â your best friend suggested, yelping when you playfully kicked her so she slipped underwater.Â
A couple of hours passed when Tony found himself standing near a window in the guest bedroom that overlooked the pool in the backyard, the dull buzz from the drinks that were had during the course now somewhat settled. His gaze trained on you as you lounged on your favourite flamingo floatie, legs on either side, a relaxed smile adorning your features.
There was something about you that drew him in from the first moment he laid eyes on you, you were intelligent, funny and simply gorgeous. The more you spoke, the more he realized how passionate you were about your work, the way you unconsciously played with your hair when heâd asked questions, the cute little frown as you thought about your answer, he found it all very endearing.Â
What was happening to him? Was he attracted to a girl half his age? One heâd only met a few hours ago? The daughter of his business colleagueâŠsomeone who was young enough to be his childâŠit was wrong on so many levels.Â
Oblivious to his internal monologue, you were joking around with your buddies, Tony felt his pants getting tight at the sight of your wet bikini that did nothing to hide your pebbled nipples; it didnât help his situation when you simulated riding someone by grabbing the head of the inflated flamingo and rolling your hips suggestively, before falling back in the water in a fit of laughter.Â
Glancing down, he felt embarrassed to see his tented pants, running his hands over it, he slipped in the bathroom to take care of it. Lucky for him, the bathroom window also offered a view of the pool, thankful that you couldnât see what he was up to, Tony freed himself and began steadily stroking his cock, imagining what it would feel like if it were your dainty hands instead, or those perfect lips wrapped around him, swallowing his length until you gagged. He imagined what your pussy would feel like, warm and tight for him to deflower.Â
He came with a grunt after a few deliberate strokes, cleaning the mess he had made with tissues before heading back out. He wasnât used to feeling like this.Â
No.Â
Nobody had ever evoked such carnal desires before. He certainly never believed heâd find himself masturbating in a bathroom like a horny teenager while watching a girl half his age enjoying herself in the pool.Â
As he closed the bedroom door behind him, he collided into you.Â
âOh Iâm so sorry, Mr. Stark! IâI mean Tony.â you steadied yourself against his arm, before letting out a nervous chuckle.Â
âNo harm done. Drink responsibly, kid.â he jested, his previous state of embarrassment washing over him once more as his eyes drank in your form. Still wet from the pool, now a white towel covered your shoulders, small droplets inching their way down the silky smooth skin between your breastsâŠ
âDad said youâre staying for dinner?â Â
He cleared his throat and frowned at your question.Â
âDidnât know I was. But I guess itâs difficult to turn Carl down once heâs exceeded his whiskey limit so I guess Iâll see you.â He chuckled, scratching the back of his neck.Â
You said your goodbyes and he excused himself to go downstairs, not before seeing you head to your room which happened to be right next to where heâd just come out of.
All through dinner, you could sense simmering tension between the two of you, or maybe you were just imagining it. He didnât engage in much of a conversation with you, in fact he avoided eye contact for the most part but on a couple of occasions, you found his eyes on you, darting away quickly whenever you caught him.
âYou should see Y/Nâs work, Tony. She is incredibly talented.â your father bragged, giving you a proud smile.Â
âDad, stop! I donât think Tony I mean, Mr. Starkâs interested in thaââ
âNo. Iâd love to see it actually. In fact I have an interview lined up with a magazine soon, I could recommend her if sheâs interested.â Tony looked up at you expectantly, completely catching you off guard.Â
âReally? IâI would love to! Wow! Thank you so much.âÂ
Your surprised expression made him smile before your Dad thanked him for giving you the opportunity. Your mother remained quiet as the conversation unfolded, eyeing you two with quiet suspicion.Â
âAnyone up for a night cap?â
When Tony politely declined your fatherâs offer, you took the chance to invite him to your little home studio you had set up down in the basement. Your obsession with photography began in school when you were still living here, and with your Dadâs help, this room had quickly turned into a space where you would spend most of your teenage years.
Switching the light on, you gestured to the room where you had hung several of your previous works of photography up on the walls, a working station that housed all the chemicals that you used to develop them, especially ones with your old film camera that you still used.Â
The walls are adorned with pictures you had taken over the years, some black and white portraits of your friends, a few candids of your father and a few others he didnât recognise.Â
âI didnât know they still used these.â Tony murmured as he looked around, quite impressed with your work. All of the pictures you had up there had managed to capture raw emotion in them, something spontaneous and genuine about the expressions.Â
âThey probably donât, but I do. My grandfather gifted me my first camera, I still use it to this day. I canât ever think of giving it away. I donât know, I still prefer the old school method of developing, I find it quite charming.â you explained, following him as he stopped to admire more of your photos.Â
A faint smile played on your lips as you observed Tony walk around your space, his eyes trained on pictures in front of him, each one evoking a reaction from him as if he could read the true intent hidden behind them.Â
You couldnât pinpoint if it was the lighting in the room that made him look extra handsome or just his general charisma but you grabbed your old camera quietly and decided to photograph him.Â
âThis is very impressive work, Y/N. Truly, you are a talented indeed, I thinkââ
He saw a flash that cut him mid-sentence, taking him by surprise as he realized you had taken a picture of him.Â
âSorry. I had to. Itâs a good one. Here.â you showed him what youâd captured, standing a little too close for him where he could breathe in the smell of your citrusy shampoo or was it berries? He wasnât sure. It was enticing enough to become a fast favourite of his.Â
Tony didnât need to see the picture before decided he was going to have you as his photographer for the interview he had. Inhaling your scent, he brushed your hair aside with his fingers, making you look up at him, your heart racing at the simple gesture.Â
âYouâre hired.â he murmured, his brown eyes glancing at your lips, allowing himself to move just a little closer. You could smell his cologne mixed with a touch of whiskey from earlier, his warm breath unsteady against your own.Â
You didnât know what came over you, but you reached up to press your lips to his very lightly, almost apprehensive about your actions. It ended too quickly as realization of the moment washed over you and you stepped away.Â
âIâIâm sorry. I donât know why I did that.âÂ
You sprinted back upstairs without as much as a second glance at the man you left in your basement, feeling his lips that still lingered with your touch, with a mind that contemplated the moment that passed, rethinking if it did or it was all in his head.Â
You had kissed him, and Tonyâs uncertainties regarding that magnetic pull he felt towards you slowly dissolved into a desire for more.Â
That night you lay awake in bed, replaying everything that happened throughout the day. All stray thoughts eventually led to the same thing.
You had kissed Tony Stark. Not an accident.
It was because you wanted to. It was an impulse you couldnât shake off. Like you had to kiss him, your body was naturally drawn to the man who was twice your age, possibly older. A part of you was sure he had wanted you to do it, while the other part worried how inappropriate it mustâve been.
What if youâd screwed up your chance of that assignment he had offered? Surely he would have thought you had crossed a line? Oh God, what if he was married? As far as you remembered he wasnât wearing a ring, or was he? It seemed like such a blur now.Â
Covering your face with your hands, you groaned loudly before turning to your side, willing yourself to fall asleep. There was a familiar ding of a text message on your phone, when you opened it, it wasnât from a number you recognized. But upon seeing the name of the sender, a smile made its way on your face.Â
Come by Stark tower tomorrow to discuss the details of the photoshoot. And perhaps stay for a drink later? - T.S

could you do ethan x fem reader smut where they arenât allowed to see each other due to their families feuding??
like real romeo and juliet kind of this where he climbs up into the window while sheâs doing skincare or something. i can literally imagine them just talking about how much they missed each other (because they arenât allowed to be together) then it ends up escalating into like dom ethan smut đđ
sorry if thatâs confusing!!
Hi! I hope you like this!đ I had the worst writers block for the last few days and I'm trying to get back into it haha
Check Yes, Juliet - Ethan Landry x Fem!Reader
This contains SMUT - Minors DNI
Summary: Your forbidden to see Ethan after some drama between your family and his, so he sneaks through your bedroom window to see you.
Contains: Fluff, a hint of angst, Dom!-ish Ethan(Nothing super rough), I used "good girl" in this because I feel like Ethan would totally say that. oral - m and f receiving, p in v, Unprotected sex(Pulling out though:) Jesus, If I missed anything, let me know đ
A/N: Ya girl loves pop-punk, especially from the 2000's so that's where I got the title for this lmao.
You grew up with Ethan, quickly becoming best friends because your parents were so close to hisâŠuntil they werenât. They had this huge falling out after Richieâs killing spree in Woodsboro. When you were both told you couldnât see each other, you rebelled, and it only made the two of you even closer. So close that it turned into a secret relationship.
During summer break before you were both getting ready to start college, it got so much harder to see Ethan. Your mom worked from home, and your dad saved up his PTO so he could take time off to spend time with you before you left for university. It was the same one Ethan was going to, and you felt a little relieved that youâd finally have the opportunity to be with him without worrying about what your parents thought. They probably wouldnât even let you go if they found out he was going to the same school, especially after they forced you to block his number and all of his social media. Ethan found his way around it because he couldnât just not talk to you.
Youâd just gotten home from dinner with your parents, excusing yourself to get ready for bed. You were so tired after a long day with them, and you couldnât wait to talk to Ethan. You had this app your parents had no idea that you used to message him. You let him know that you were home, and waited for him to respond as you took your makeup off.
When he messaged you back, your eyes widened, wondering if he was crazy when he said he was outside of your house. You walked over to your window and opened the curtain to see your boyfriend standing in your front yard, a sweet smile on his lips as you quietly opened the window.
âWhat the fuck are you doing?â you whisper-yelled, as he held his finger up to your mouth for you to be quiet. He walked over to the tree beside your window, easily climbing up it as he made his way to you. âEthan, this is crazy,â you said, as he crawled inside, his feet hitting the floor harder than he expected them to. You soon heard someone running up the stairs. âShit. Hide under my bed.â
âYou okay, sweetheart?â your mom asked as she opened the door. She glanced at the opened window behind you, a curious look on her face as she turned her attention back to you.
âYeah, Iâm okay. Just tripped over the pile of laundry Iâve been refusing to put away,â you lied, as she rolled her eyes.
âI told you to clean that up. Goodness, I thought someone broke in here when I saw the open window,â she said, doing a double take of the room.
âNo, I tripped on the way to close it. I forgot to before we left earlier,â you said, as she nodded. âI need to get some sleep if weâre getting up early tomorrow.â
âOkay, donât forget to set your alarm. Wake up as early as you need to. Your dad is sleeping with the sound machine, so we wonât hear it,â she said, as you innocently smiled at her. You could only imagine the ideas your boyfriend had running through his head as he listened to your mom. âGoodnight.â
âGoodnight,â you said, as she walked back out of the room, closing the door behind her.
You quietly walked over to the door and locked it as Ethan crawled out from under your bed.
âHey, baby,â he said, walking up behind you and wrapping his hands around your waist. âI missed you so much.â
You turned in his arms to face him, âEthan, have you lost your mind? If you get caught in here, weâre dead.â
âI thought youâd be happy to see me,â he said, pulling his hands off you. âI canât believe this shit. Weâre both eighteen and weâre still letting our parents control our lives.â
You sighed as you reached over to grab his hands and place them back on his hips before putting yours around his neck. âI am happy to see you, babe. I just donât want our parents to not pay for school. Thatâs the only thing thatâs kept us apart.â
âWe could always run away together,â he said, before leaning down to kiss you. âIâd rather drown in student loan debt than keep doing this shit.â
âJust three more weeks. Weâll be a few hours from here with no parents to keep their eye on us,â you smiled, âJust think of all the dates, all the fun things we can do-â
âAll the sex we can have,â he said, cutting you off as his hands started to rub against your hips. You started to blush as you thought about it. âWe could do that right nowâŠ,â he suggested, gently squeezing you. âAs hot as the nudes are that you send me, you have no idea how bad Iâve been craving the real thing.â He leaned down to start placing kisses on your neck, making you whimper. âI canât wait to taste that sweet pussy.â
âFuck, Ethan,â you gasped out, as his hand started to rub your pussy over your pajama bottoms.
âI know you missed this, too. How many times have you fingered yourself and wished they were mine?â he questioned, sliding his hand inside your pajama shorts. âYouâre so wet, baby.â
âMy fingers arenât as good as yours,â you whimpered, as he slid one of his fingers inside you. He angled his hand just right so he could hit that spot inside of you, your legs almost giving out when he pressed against it hard enough. âCan you use two?â
He started to laugh a little, âYou can barely stand up with one. I donât know if you can handle two.â
âWe could go to my bed,â you suggested, as he shook his head.
âNo, babe,â he said, pulling his hand out and backing you up against the door. He slid your pajama shorts and panties down at the same time before he dropped to his knees in front of you. âPut your leg on my shoulder,â he said, as your eyes grew wide.
âWhat if I hurt you? Or what if I fall? My mom will definitely come back up here if she hears anything else,â you said, your tone nervous as Ethan smiled up at you.
âYouâll still have one foot on the ground. And you can put as much weight on me as you need to. I just need your legs spread enough for me to eat you out, babe.â
âFuck,â you whispered, before doing what he asked. He teased your clit with his tongue before he started to sloppily eat you out. âBaby, that feels so good.â
One of your hands tangled in his hair as he pleasured you, making him groan into your pussy.
He kept going until your legs started to shake, letting him know how close you were. He pulled his mouth away as you pouted in response.
âIâm going to get you off, baby. Hang on,â he said, gently sliding your leg off him so you could fully stand up. He stood up in front of you, sliding two of his fingers into your pussy. You grabbed his shirt, pulling his body closer to you yours as he fingered you.
âIâm so close,â you whimpered, his face inches from yours. âIâm so scared Iâm going to be loud.â
âShh, you wonât be,â he said, leaning in to kiss you. His mouth caught all your sounds as his fingers pressed harder on that spongy spot inside you. His free hand went to your hip to hold you against the door as your walls started to flutter around his fingers. You were tugging on his shirt so hard you knew youâd stretch it as the feeling washed over you, your legs turning to jell-o as he got you through it.
He pulled his mouth away from yours after you stopped whimpering, your hazy eyes connecting to his dark ones. Your hand reached down to start palming him over his jeans, the feeling making him gasp.
âLet me return the favor,â you smirked, dropping to your knees in front of him. He watched you, his breathing getting heavier after you freed his hard cock from his boxers.
You lazily started to stroke him as you looked at him through your lashes, your bottom lip in between your teeth. You looked so innocent in front of him, but he knew you were far from that.
âLook at you, being such a good girl down on your knees for me,â he said, running his hand through your hair. You whimpered at his praise, your pussy starting to throb. You leaned forward, licking the underside of his cock before swirling your tongue over his tip. âYou seriously give the best head.â
He meant what he was saying, but he also knew what his praising did to you. Some of his best orgasms have come from you just sucking his cock, especially when he praised you the whole way through it.
You started to take him further into your mouth, your cheeks hollowing as you sucked. âYeah, baby, just like that,â Ethan said, his grip tightening on your hair once his tip was far enough back to make you gag. âYou make me feel so good.â
It didnât take long for tears to be streaming down your cheeks from all the gagging, his cock soaked in your saliva as he started to thrust into your mouth. You knew he was close, his groans getting whinier.
âFuck, that perfect mouth is going to make me cum,â he said, âWhere do you want it?â
You grabbed the back of his thighs to keep him close, letting him know that you wanted him to cum in your mouth. His thrusts started to get erratic as he groaned, releasing into your mouth. His hand in your hair was shaky as your mouth kept moving, the slight overstimulation feeling so good for him.
âBaby, you gotta stop,â he said after a few more seconds. When you pulled away, your chin was covered in your spit as you wiped it on the back of your hand. âDid you like that?â
âMhm,â you said sweetly, nodding as you took your shirt off.
âThis sweet, innocent shit you do during sex just does something to me,â he groaned, pulling his own shirt off.
âOh yeah? What does it do to you?â you asked, as you laid down on your bed to wait for him.
âIt makes me want to not take it easy on you, because I know you can take it,â he smirked, as your hands started to massage your breasts.
âWhat if I canât take it?â you asked, your voice soft as he stared you down.
âThen Iâll make you take it,â he said, as he crawled on the bed beside you. âYou know if you tell me to stop, I will, but I think youâll just beg me to go faster or fuck you harder.â
âFuck,â you sighed, as you felt his hand cup over your pussy. âJust donât make me be too loud.â
âDonât tell me what to do,â he said, as he started to crawl on top of you. Your legs instinctively spread for him as you waited for him to fuck you, but he just teased you. He dipped the tip of his cock inside you, then pulled it out to rub it against your clit. He kept doing it until you finally started to whine. âYou want it?â he asked, smirking at you as you started to squirm.
âI fucking need it,â you said, your eyes pleading with his. âPlease, baby.â
âOnly cause you asked so nicely,â he said, as he stuck more than the head of his cock inside of you, the feeling of him stretching you out making you moan. âSo fucking tight,â he gasped, filling you up further with each small thrust, until he was fully inside of you.
He wanted to tease you with slow thrusts, but he couldnât. You felt so amazing around him as his hips started to move faster.
âThat feel good?â he asked, as you moaned in response. âIâll take that as a yes.â
You were wrapping your legs around him so he could go deeper when he pulled them away, pressing your thighs against your tummy. The new position had him hitting the right spot, his cock filling you so good that you couldnât hold in your whimpers.
âSo deep,â you moaned, as his face tensed up, a feral look in his eyes as he started to pound into you. âOh fuck!â
âThatâs it, baby. You can take it,â he grunted. Your jaw dropped as you were on the edge of your orgasm. âFuck, youâre already squeezing my cock. You gonna cum?â
âMhm,â you whimpered, as you felt your legs being spread a little from the position he had them in.
âRub your clit, baby,â he said, as both of his hands on the back of your thighs gripped you tighter. You did as he said, the euphoric feeling hitting you so hard that you cried out. âFuck,â Ethan groaned, âTry to be quiet, baby.â
âI canâtâ you whimpered, as he chased his own orgasm.
âBite your lip, cover your mouth, do something. Iâm so close,â he said, âI thought you didnât want us to get caught.â
âI, fuck..I donât,â you got out between your whimpers.
âGonna cum,â he said, pulling his cock out and shooting his cum all over your thighs. His eyes kept fluttering as he caught his breath. âI need to find something to get this off you.â You felt his release start to drip down your thighs, towards your ass.
âUh, I have tissues on my dresser,â you suggested, as he took a couple more deep breaths.
âI canât wait to do this all the time with you,â he said, as he stood up to grab some tissues.
âYeah, because dorm sex is going to happen all the time,â you joked, as he smiled.
âI donât know, maybe my roommate will be cool,â he said, cleaning you up. âShit, Iâll get to introduce you to people as my girlfriend.â
âYou canât wait for that, can you?â you asked, smiling at him as he shook his head.
âFor real though, I think Iâll get so used to spending all my free time with you that Iâll just lose my mind whenever weâre home on break,â he sighed, throwing the tissues away before he laid down beside you.
âYou could always just sneak through my window again.â

Buck's Bisexual Speedrun (AO3)
Neither Buck or Tommy know the meaning of the expression "taking it slow"
A/N: This is based on an ask I saw ages ago on how Buck basically went from 0 to 100 in no time when it comes to his sexuality and his relationship with Tommy, and that at this rate, he'd just walk into work one day soon with Kinard on his uniform because they got married.
---
âGood morning probie.â Buck happily greeted Ravi as he walked into the firehouse to start his shift after having had a few days off.
âYou do realise I'm not a probie anymore, right? I'm a fully qualified firefighter, just like you.â
âOf course you are probie.â
âYou were there when I officially qualified!â
âUhuh.â
âYou know what - never mind. Why are you so happy anyway?â
Buck shrugged, the smile never leaving his face.
âCan't a guy just be happy? It's a nice day, traffic wasn't crazy, life is good.â
âRight. But it's not even 8am yet. Nobody is this happy this early in the morning.â
âI am.â Buck said simply, brushing past him to put his stuff away, having changed into his uniform before arriving at the station. âHas anyone made coffee yet?â
âUh... I uh... don't know... uh... I uh... just got here.â Ravi stammered.
âThat's ok, I'll go check.â he made his way up the stairs to the kitchen where Hen had just poured herself a cup. âMorning.â he greeted her and moved around the kitchen to find a clean mug.
âMorning Buckaroo. No Tommy today?â She asked.
In the year or so that Buck and Tommy had been together, it wasn't unusual for Tommy to join them for breakfast if his own schedule allowed it.
"Nah, I thought I'd let him sleep. His shift doesn't start until six and I need him well rested when he gets into that helicopter."
Hen nodded and took a sip of her coffee, and choked on it when Buck turned around and she saw the name on the back of his shirt.
âUh... were you in a hurry this morning?â
âNo? I had to run some errands, I've been up since around 5.â
âErrands? This early in the morning?"
âHmm. Had to pick something up across town.â He picked up his mug and joined her at the table. In the back of her mind the sound of something clinking against the mug did register as off but it was too early to figure out why.
âRight. Itâs just that I think you've picked up Tommy's shirt this morning. It says Kinard on the back.â
Buck's smile got even bigger, and he seemed to actually be glowing.
âI know. I took his name when we got married. These are my new shirts. I picked them up this morning." He took a sip of his coffee and that's when Hen noticed the ring on his finger.
âYou did what now?!â
âWe got married.â
âW-when?â
Buck glanced at the clock on the wall.
âAbout⊠55 hours ago now?â He smiled. âIt was kind of a spur of the moment thing. Did you know Vegas is only an hour away by helicopter?â
âI did.â Eddie announced as he walked into the kitchen and pushed past Buck to get himself some coffee. âMorning. What are we talking about, mister⊠KinardâŠâ he trailed off. âAre you two becoming one of those couples now? Is Tommy walking around with Buckley on his back?â
Buck grinned and raised an eyebrow at his best friend.
âNo. Nope. Donât answer that. I donât want to know.â Eddie warned him quickly, holding up his hand as if that would stop Buck from talking.Â
âI mean⊠heâs probably still in bed⊠so heâs not wearing much of anything right now.â Buck grinned and sat down at the table next to Hen while Eddie groaned and muttered something under his breath about never being friends with couples.
âDid you know?â Hen asked Eddie when he joined them at the table.
âKnow what?â
Hen grabbed Buckâs left hand and showed Eddie his ring.
âYou asked him? I thought you wanted to wait until the party?â
âYeah⊠but then I picked him up from work last week⊠and I just couldnât wait.â Buck smiled. âWhen you know, you know, right?â
âHmm.â Eddie agreed as he focused on his coffee.
âSo you knew?â Hen asked again.
âYeah. I helped him pick out the ring.â Eddie shrugged. âI didnât know he was going to propose now though.â
âOh no, he didnât just propose.â Hen started. âHe proposed and then they eloped.â
âWhat?â
âI proposed, he said yes⊠and then we talked about it and decided to fly to Vegas to get married.â
âYou did what? Why?â
Buck shrugged.
âItâs just easier this way.â
âEasierâŠâ
âSo you donât want your families there when you say I do?â Hen asked.
âWell thatâs the thing we talked about. If we plan a wedding we have to think of a guest list, and I have to decide if I want my parents there or notâŠâ Buck trailed off. âAnd this way we donât have to deal with all that and we can just throw a party. And Iâll send my parents a change of address card with my new name on it. Theyâll fill in the blanks themselves.â
Eddie stared at him for a minute before shrugging. He had to admit to himself he could see the logic in their reasoning. He wouldnât want Philip and Margaret Buckley at his wedding either.
âWait⊠so the party next Saturday⊠thatâs going to be Tommyâs birthday, your housewarming, and your wedding reception?â He counted the events on his fingers.
âYeah pretty much.â
âDonât think Iâm getting you three presents.â Hen warned him and the three of them laughed. âCall your husband, get him over here for lunch. We need to celebrate with cake.â She said and got up to make a call, presumably to order a cake.
Buck smiled and pulled his phone out of his pocket to call Tommy.
âIs that from the ceremony?â Eddie asked, glancing at his home screen, knowing Buck didnât care and often did the same to him.
âYeah.â He pulled up the picture from the camera roll. âItâs when we said I do actually.â He smiled and swiped through the rest of the pictures, showing Eddie more of the ceremony.
âWho took the pictures?â
âThe chapel had its own photographer. And Tommyâs cousin who works on the strip. You know him, the one that always gets you two tickets to the fights.â Buck explained, pausing on a picture of him and Tommy standing in front of the officiant, smiling brightly as Buck is sliding Tommyâs ring onto his finger.
âIâm happy for you man.â Eddie told him with a squeeze to his shoulder. âBut Iâm a little disappointed I didnât get to embarrass you in my best man speech.â
âHold onto it, maybe you can use it in a couple of years if we renew our vows.â
âBuck. Got a minute?â Bobby walked up to the table with some papers in his hand and sat down.
âUh⊠sure cap, whatâs up?â
âI⊠just got an interesting call from LAFD Personnel.â
âOh?â
âYeah they said to tell you your new turnouts might take a little longer than they first said because theyâre going to be put in with the order for the probationary firefighters who are about to graduate the academy.â
âOh⊠thatâs okâŠâ
âAnd to ask you to let them know if they should say Kinard, E or just Kinard.â Bobby relayed. âIs there something you want to tell us?â
Buck blushed and looked down at his hands, fiddling with his wedding ring.
âYeah⊠uh⊠Tommy and I⊠got married. In Vegas.â
âAnd thatâs my cue.â Eddie said and got up, leaving the two of them to talk in private.
âVegas huh?â
âYeah it uh⊠we didnât plan it⊠we just⊠we decided to go for it. Knowing our luck with weddings it would probably end with one of us in hospital or some natural disaster ruining the whole thing.â Buck explained, looking at a spot on the wall over Bobbyâs shoulder, not wanting to see the disappointment or anger on his face. âWe didnât purposely leave everyone out of it, I swear. We just⊠wanted to be married. And we were still at Harbor anyway, because thatâs where I proposed, so we got in a helicopter and just⊠went.â
âWell I have to admit I didnât see it coming⊠but Iâm happy for you. For both of you.â
Buck finally got himself to look him in the eye.
âYou are?â
âOf course. I told you when you two first got together, Tommy is good for you. And you are for him. I remember when he worked here, he was so closed off. Going through the motions. Until the transfer went through. I called him into my office to tell him, and Iâd never seen him as happy as that day. But that was until I saw the two of you together.â Bobby smiled. âYouâre both more comfortable in your own skin than I ever saw you before.â He patted Buckâs hand. âNow what should I tell them at Personnel?â
Before Buck had a chance to reply, Chimney walked into the kitchen area, whistling some kind of tune.
âGood morning everyone.â He announced. âI dropped Jee off at pre-school, Maddie at work, got a bagel from that nice place down the block from dispatch that just opened up, AND I beat my personal record in getting here. Yes you may applaud now.â He paused for a minute and rolled his eyes when he didnât get an applause. âBuck. You need to call your sister.â He said when he noticed Buck and Bobby sitting at the table.
âI-I do?â
âYeah. About Tommyâs birthday present. Apparently a brewery tour and craft beer tasting for two is not a good gift.â
âHeâd probably love that.â Buck mused.
âThatâs what I said!â Chimney said, exasperated. âBut apparently I donât know my friend. So, now you can tell her what your boyfriend likes and maybe sheâll believe you.â
âAh yeah sure⊠Iâll call her⊠But Tommyâs not my boyfriend anymore.â
âWhat? Donât tell me you broke up. You just moved in together! You are not sleeping on our couch. You can crash at Eddieâs.â He decided. âAnd youâre not making me choose between you and him. I wonât do it.â
âYou wonât have to choose.â Buck told him, trying to suppress a smile.
âOh? Did you already decide who gets me in the divorce?â
âNo⊠because we didnât break up. Quite the opposite actually.â He held up his hand to show Chimney his ring. âWe got married.â
Chimney stared at his hand and then blinked a few times.
âWell⊠congratulations. But now you definitely need to call Maddie because I am not keeping that secret until Saturday.â
Buck laughed.
âDonât worry, Iâll call her. Right after I call my husband to invite him over here to celebrate our marriage.â
The rest of the morning was slow, with no alarm going off and everyone just catching up on chores around the firehouse.
Buck had a sneaky suspicion Bobby had asked for any calls to be rerouted to other stations for a few hours, but decided to just take the easy morning.
He was just finishing up checking the engine on one of the trucks when Ravi called his name.
âBuck! Your boy- I mean husband is here.â
He smiled and quickly wiped his hands on a rag and walked to the open bay doors where Tommy was shaking hands with Ravi.
âHey probie, hands off my man.â
âI was congratulating him! On your marriage!â Ravi protested. âAnd Iâm not a probie anymore!â
âYeah, yeah.â Buck waved his comment away, only focusing on Tommy, happily pulling him into a hug when he was close enough. âJust remember this one is taken, alright?â
âHmm if Iâd known marriage would make you this possessive I would have proposed months ago.â Tommy teased after accepting his kiss hello.
âYou were going to propose?â
âI thought about it. Ever since I asked you to move in. I was going to get Eddie to help me pick out a ring.â
âReally?â
âYeah, you just beat me to it. On both Eddie and the proposing.â
âWell Vegas was your idea. So you still beat me on something.â
âI did, didnât I?â Tommy grinned. âAnd whatâs my prize for beating you?â
Buck didnât reply, but just gently grabbed his chin, like Tommy had done to him countless times before, and pressed a kiss against his lips.
âAlright you two break it up.â Hen said as she pushed past them, carrying a large box. âWe have cake.â She walked up the stairs to the loft.
âIâm not sure I trust you with cake. I still remember the last time I was around you with cake.â Tommy joked as he and Buck followed her up the stairs.
âI promise I wonât push you into this one.â She replied. âItâs for Buck too after all.â
âI donât know, I think I might enjoy you covered in cake.â Buck said quietly.
âBehave.â Tommy replied but the look on his face told Buck he didnât exactly hate the idea.
The whole crew was starting to gather in the kitchen and everyone congratulated the happy couple.
âAthena sends her love. Sheâs sorry she couldnât get away but she told me to give you thisâ Bobby said and hugged first Buck and then Tommy. âShe wanted me to kiss you both too but I think Iâll leave that for her to do herself on Saturday.â He joked. âCongratulations again, guys. Itâs good to see you both happy.â
They thanked everyone for their well wishes and ended up having a mini ceremony in the firehouse kitchen.
Hen insisted they cut their Mr and Mr Kinard cake together and Eddie had assigned himself the job of wedding photographer, making sure to capture every little moment.
Buck made a mental note to get him to send them all to him.
âEvan, are you wearing my shirt?â Tommy asked, amused, a little while later when everyone had gotten their piece of cake and they had a quiet moment to themselves. He traced the letters on Buckâs back with his fingers.
âNo, Iâm wearing my shirt.â
Tommy frowned.
âYour shirt?â
âYep. Did you not think I was being serious about taking your name?â
âNo⊠I mean⊠yes, I know you were. But how did you get a shirt with your new name on it this fast?â
âI just called them and asked.â
âYou asked. When?â
âWhen we got back from Vegas. When you were in the shower. I picked them up this morning. Only my new turn outs will take a few weeks.â
âWhen I was at the 118 under Gerrard someone somewhere made a mistake with my uniform and I walked around in shirts and turn outs that said Kincaid on the back for months. And you just⊠ask and get new uniforms in a few days?â Tommy asked laughingly.
âWhat can I say? My husband is kind of a big deal in the LAFD these days. He flew a helicopter into a hurricane. Got a medal for it and everything.â

Hey!
Can i request Thomas Shelby x son! Reader, where the reader is the bastard child of him and no one knows about him except Tommy. The reader's mother dies and he gets sent to a distant relative who mistreat him. And the reader also knows who his real father is, and one day they meet and the reade is just really really sarcastic and Tommy somehow finds out that this disrespectful child is his kid he abandoned.
Father Dearest
Relationship: Son!reader and Father!Thomas
Desc: (y/n) having to suffer with his Aunt and Uncle, he decided to spend his day at the Garrison only to run in to his long lost father.
(Y/n) tossed again, huffing in displeasure. The sun was rising now but it wasnt like he got much sleep. Back at his moms estate, that was definitely not given to her to keep her quiet, he slept in one of the softest beds imaginable. It was almost like sleeping on a cloud. Now, living with Aunt Ann and Uncle Dick, he slept on a potato sack. Sometimes he swore he felt needles poking him from inside the mattress.
(Y/n) tossed more more time for good measure before giving up. He rolled off of his piss poor mattress, if it could even be called that, and tugged on his slightly too small "street" clothes. That of witch was a old yellowed dress shirt, work pants, and a hat. His "caregivers" didnt get him anything else.
Now, Aunt Ann and Uncle Dick wernt poor. Far from it. They were just cheap. Cheap when it came to (y/n). Cheap to the point where (y/n) was forced to sleep in the attic rather the guest room.
Ann and Dick had their own kids. Viv, a younger girl, she was kind but then again the reality of the world hadn't hit her yet. And Shawn, a boy about the same age as (y/n). Shawn and (y/n) got along fairly well. Often, they would hang out under some bridge and gamble with eachother. Whether it be a quick game of black jack or some kind of contest.
Shawn was also the only person who know about the hush money (y/n) received weekly. Shawn knew why (y/n) was getting hush money. Shawn knew who the hush money was coming from. Shawn also knew that (y/n) would lie about going off to work, much preferring hanging out at one bar or another and people watching but it was only a matter of time before people watching got boring.
(Y/n) climbed up the stairs, in to the kitchen where Aunt Ann and Uncle Dick were already sat at the table. The maid, Lizabeth, was hard away working at the stove while Viv watched carefully. Shawn was stood by a mirror, checking his tie one last time.
"Hot date?" (Y/n) asked, lightly slapping the back of Shawn's head.
"God, I wish."
"(Y/n)!" Dick called from the kitchen "dont hit Shawn or you'll be out on the streets so fast your head will spin!"
Shawn and (y/n) couldn't help but give a look, trying not to burst out in to a fit of laughter.
Letting in to the living room, (y/n) took the couch that was practically calling for him to fall asleep in and Shawn took a arm chair.
"So what's with the get-up?" (Y/n) asked, pouring himself a glass of Morning liquor.
"Dad's wanting to introduce me to some of his clients. Saying that I better get used to the 'get-up'"
(Y/n) hummed, nodding. He took a sip of the wisky. Dick would kill him if he caught (y/n) dirking it.
"So , what's your plan?" Shawn asked, getting himself a Morning glass.
"Planning on swinging by the Garrison. Seeing if that bar maid position is still open."
Shawn made a face, one of confusion and studder worry. "The Garrison? The place you are payed not to go to?"
(Y/n) just smiled, tipping his glass to Shawn.
"You are utterly crazy. Mr. Shelby still visits!" Shawn whisper yelled, leaning forward.
"He hasnt seen me in, what, eighteen years? He won't recognize me." (Y/n) couldnt help the small smile that crept up on to his face at the sight of the great Thomas Shelby being tripped up over his long lost son. "He's too busy with his businesses to even notice me."
"And if he does?" Shawn rasied his eyebrows.
"They I say I have a right to be here. The money is so I dont, one, stake any claim on anything to do with the Shelby family, two, not tell anyone that my dad is The Great Tommy Shelby, and three, not bug Thomas. I can still go to the Garrison."
"You're insane." Shawn sat back, placing his glass on the side table.
"Shawn, my boy, are you ready?" (Y/n) shot back the rest of the drink as Dick turned the corner.
"Yes, sir." Shawn stood up, straightening his cuffs.
Dick started for the door. Just as Shawn was about the leave, he shot (Y/n) a warning look. 'Dont get yourself in to unwarranted trouble.'
"(Y/n)." Aunt Ann called. "We have... guests tonight. I would suggest you etheir stay out late or stay in your room. Make yourself scarce."
(Y/n) just rolled his eyes, grabbing his cap before heading out the door.
The walk to the Garrison was never boring. The roaring flames from the factory's and the smoke filling passer by lungs was always a grand way to wake up. Granted, it was the only way to wake up.
Pushing open the door to the Garrison, (y/n) made himself at home in one of the bar seats.
"Ah, (y/n)" the bartender who (y/n) never bothered to learn the name of smiled. "The usual?"
"Actually, I was wondering if the bar maid position was still available?" (Y/n) asked, lighting up a cigarette.
Just as the bartender was about to open his mouth, the door snapped open. While the bartender was quick to look up (y/n) took his time.
A taller man walked in (clearly already buzzed). He was dressed in a distressed and messy suit and had a bushy mustache. (Y/n) was no stranger to the man, having shared one or two drinks with him.
Another guy was right behind him, a lot yonger. (Y/n) could tag him as Finn, the youngest of the (now) three Shelby sons.
The kingpin wasnt far behind his two brothers.
"Alright, everybody out." Arthur shouted causing the one or two people who didnt have jobs to leave. Exept (y/n) who sat back against the bar.
Arthur glanced over, clearly trying too hard to be intimidating. "Oi, you deaf?"
"Nope. Just bored." (Y/n) took a long drag of his cigarette.
"You got a death wish?" Finn piped up. God, It was hard not to laugh. Finn was almost like a little dog barking with the rest of the german shepherds as if he was one in the same.
"Depends on the day. Today..." (y/n) paused, pretending to think it over. "Nah."
"You best be leaving then." Arther took over again.
"No." (Y/n) turned around, back to the Shelbys.
"Leave him be. He won't say anything." Thomas finally hushed his brothers. Almost as if trained dogs, they both shut up and sat down. "What's your name?"
"(Y/n)." He didn't turn back around. "(Y/n) (l/n)"
(Y/n) though he was poking a bear with a stick, wasnt dumb. He knew not to out right say he was a Shelby so he used his long lost mothers name.
(Y/n) could hear the cogs turning In Thomas's head. He could feel his father's eyes burrowing in to the back of his head.
Arthur stared on about something or a another.
(Y/n) finished his cigarette just as the brothers were finishing up their little chat.
The stood next to (y/n) creaked slightly as one of the brothers sat down next to him. The bartender slid him a drink. There was a thud, money being placed on the counter, only Tommy did that.
"Do I know you?" Straight to the point.
"No. I dont think you do."
"Your last name sounds familiar." Tommy took a sip of his drink, watching his brothers leave the bar. "You're brave but dumb."
"Two of my best quality's." (Y/n) waved down the bartender whi handed in another drink. (Y/n) reached over and took the money Thomas was going to use to "pay" for his drinks, sliding it infront of himself.
"Do you have a job? Seems like a odd time for someone of your age to be hangin around bars."
"Nope, just got fired."
"Yet you dont have a death wish."
"Hated the fucking job." (Y/n) paused. He knew Thomas could see right through him. (Y/n) did know if it was a dad things
or a Thomas thing. "Boss's were scum. Good coworkers though."
"Isnt that always the case..." Tommy sipped his drink.
"You know." (Y/n) threw back the rest of his drink. "I always thought 'Tommy' was a odd name for a gang leader. You would expect something more... hard. 'Tommy' is a name you would expect a young sweet kid."
"And Thomas?"
"Thomas is a little better."
"A little?" Thomas looked over, not being able to hide the suddle smile.
"Mhm. (Y/n) is a much better." (Y/n) smiled back.
Thomas hummed, moving off of the seat. "Well, (y/n), next time you want to talk to your father you dont have to your uncles." Thomas said, leaving the bar.
(Y/n) jumped, nearly out of his skin. He quickly turned, nearly knocking himself out of this chair.
"What the fuck."

I want to steal the bride
Prologue
MASTERLIST
Summary: You meet your best friend in the most⊠singulars of waysÂ
Pairings: Aemond Targaryen x BestFriend!Reader
Warnings: Aemond play-boying, cursing, drinking, sexual themes, implied smutÂ
+18, Minors DNIÂ
Wordcount: 1.8 k
Notes: This is going to be so much fun
The parties in Dragonstone University were always crazy, they started diplomatically enough but then they always got out of hand.
The main courtyard of what once was a huge castle was now swarming with students, loud music all over the place, kegs of beer on each five square feet. People dancing, talking, the vibe was good.
A single guy, tall, handsome, opened up his way through the crowd, a single objective in mind
âOh, yeah, nice to see youâ, he greeted the group of freinds of the girl he was after tonight, until he could finally see her, dressed in her female counterpart, dress splotched with fake blood
âHey, that dress needs dry-cleaningâ, he teased, winking, he was not wearing a mask, only a wig, and the girl giggled
âHere you goâ, she said, giving him a cup with beer on it
âThank you kindly, Tyannaâ, he played alongÂ
âTyanna? Tyanna?â, another girl jumped the group, in character as Maegor the cruel pretended to be catched with his mistress to his wife
âOh, shit, Cyrese!â, Aemond mocked under the wig of Maegor the cruel. He drank his beer as he walked away from the group, the girl had given him the cup with her room number written on it, and with clear instructions of meeting her there in ten minutes, but he liked to be prepared
He dances along the people, specially close to some ladies, and kept opening up his way through the crowd, to find his own group of friendsÂ
âOkayâ, he whined, when a girl almost humped him in the middle of the crowd. He found the building pretty quickly, and went up the stairs to the second floor
âHi, Maegorâ, whispered a girl, as he walked through the hallway
âOh, hey, Snow Whiteâ, he smirked, âWhere is 11 B?â, he asked the girl, who pointed at a door right next to him
  âBingo.â, he claimed triumphantly, he tried the door but it was locked, so he looked, on the tip of his toes, the key that was hidden in the upper corner of the door, âWhere did she say that thing was?â, he whispered to himself, and then chuckled when he found itÂ
âGuess it's time for a little actionâ, he hasn't gotten any âactionâ since the last party, which was last week, so⊠it's been a while on this books
âTyanna?â, he called into the darkness of the dorm room, but no one answered, âIt's Maegorâ, that is when he noticed the sleeping form on one of the beds, turned towards the wall, âI got some dictation for you, Tyannaâ, he teased, getting on the roll of the famous president who had an affair with his secretary. He started to get undressed, he did not get rid of neither the wig or the crown, but of the upper part of his costume, his shoes, and he loosened up his pants, âI got a big secret for you, baby.â, he whispered, âHow did you get up here so soon?â
âTyanna. Tyannaâ, he kept calling to no answer, he sneaked under the sheets, he hugged his momentarily partner, but he found no willingness in the embrace, as the girl moved suddenly, trying to push him away, she turned in horror at the strange man hugging her and screamed in terror when she came to look at a bloodied faceÂ
âAH!â, You shrieked in terror at the sight, an âattackerâ had tried to grope you in your sleep, you turned quickly to the bedside table and grabbed the first thing you could get your hands on
âWait!â, he screamed back, but you didnât listen, you sprayed your perfume on his face until he was screaming
He dropped out of he bed begging for mercy and rubbing his eyesÂ
âI can't see!â, he cried, âMy eyes! My eyes! I can't see!â
âWho let you in?â, you cried
 âWhat happened? Where's Tyanna?â, he asked, still rubbing his eyes, the fake blood now making a mess, âWhat happened to Tyanna?â
âHow did you get in here?â, you asked again
âShe told me where the key was!â, he explained, âI can't see!â
âDid she say it was okay to dry hump her roommate?â, you fought, not being able to not find this funnyÂ
âShe said you'd be in the library because you're a geekâ
âI am not a geek. Gods!â, you whined, not being able to pretend that didnât hurt just a little
âOh, my Godâ, the intruder was finally able to open his eyes, with difficulty, âWhat was that, mace?â
"Eternity" by Calvin Kleinâ, you said triumphantlyÂ
Once he could calm down, you helped him up, taking him to the common bathroom so he could rinse himself, and then, you took him to the common room to give him some coffee to sober him up, is the last thing you could do after you attacked him.
âOh, I'm gonna be so careful who I get in bed with from now onâ. He whined, while he dropped himself into the couch, still rubbing his eyesÂ
âThat'd be a big adjustment for you, wouldn't it?â, you teased, but you couldnât claim victory as you burnt your hand with the hot coffee cup, âGods!â you screamed, âI do that every timeâ
âI've invented a solution for thatâ, he offered, âSeriously. It's something that goes around a coffee cup so you don't burn your handâ, you looked at him, annoyed, clearly not buying it, âI'm gonna call it the coffee collarâ.
âBrilliant ideaâ, you said with a mocking smile, you turned to look at him, and he was looking back at you with an intense look in his one good eye. He was terribly handsome, of course you knew who he was, he was Aemond Targaryen, he had lost en eye when he was young, never replaced it, used a leather patch that only added to his appeal
âI know all about youâ, you said defiantly, he of course knew how handsome he was, he used it poorly, âI know your whole rapâ, you accused, no matter how cute you find him, you couldnât fell to his charms
âYou do?â, he said, clearly interested, he made himself comfortable dropping an arm over the back of the couch, behind youÂ
âYeah. You're a seniorâŠâ, you startedÂ
âUh-huhâ, he was clearly entertainedÂ
â...who preys on freshmenâ, you continued, and his face changed, âYou slept with half my floor!â
âWell, half your floor was femaleâ, he said simplyÂ
âWhateverâ, you bit back, clearly annoyed, there was nothing else more to him, he was a player, a man who didnât care what happened after his one night stands, âAnd you once met Oberyn,
which I suspect is total bullshitâ, you laughed, he started shaking his head
âNo, it's true. He signed my CD. It's upstairs in my roomâ, he defended, then the smirk appeared again on his lips, âwith my... coffee collar, if you wanna see itâ, you almost got choked on your coffee
 âAre you hitting on me?â, you chuckled, you could not believe his audacity but you gotta admit, that it was endearingÂ
 âNo. I'm going off your lookâ, he defendedÂ
 âMy look?â
âYeah. Your "doggy bowl" lookâ, you opened your mouth in anger
âAre you calling me a dog?â, you said back, angrily
âNo, no, it's a theory I haveâ, he said dismissively
âOh, Casanova has a theoryâ, you mocked
âYeah. When a girl's attracted to a guy⊠she has a look. It's her tell, like pokerâ, he said simply, âIt's the same look a dog gets right before you put down the bowlâ
âYou're offensiveâ you whined, âAnd you're crazyâ
âNo, I'm honestâ, he said calmly, âI believe honesty is the best policyâ
âAll right. You want me to be honest with you?â, you said back, smiling wickedly, he seemed taken aback, but then he raised one of his silver eyebrows
âSureâ
âI'm majoring in Fine Artsâ, you said confidently
âRightâ, you could tell he was nervous, but fighting to prepare otherwise
âI'm studying the golden proportions of the human face and your nose is bent, and it droops down at the bottom, a feature accentuated by the thinness of your lipâ, you said, leaning in and pointing to those in his face, âand your eyes⊠are too far apart, but they'd have to be to accommodate that bent noseâ, he seemed comically indignant, but here came the grand finally, your little vengeance.
âAnd I feel sorry for you. You have to validate yourself through insatiable, meaningless, ego sport-sex with insecure girls like my roommateâ, you completed, âI would never have sex with someone⊠like you!â, you stood up from the couch, ready to go back o your room
âWow. Wow!â, he called after you, âHey, come here!â, he didnât stop chasing after you until you stopped by the door of the common room, âThat was amazing!â , he admired, he wasnât angry like you expectedÂ
âWhat was?â, you muttered, bored
âThe honesty!â, he said, âThat was almost better than sex without the, uh⊠â
âWithout the cryingâ, you mocked, âActually, it did feel pretty goodâ, you admitted
âYeah, no one's ever been that honest with me beforeâ, he said, marveled by the situationÂ
 âIt's called being a friendâ, you clarifiedÂ
âI'm Aemond, by the wayâ, he said, giving you his hand so you could shake it, and you didÂ
â(Y/N)â, you said back, you had mindlessly walk back to your room, you were tired, you needed some rest, and also, to get rid of this guy, or you might actually go back to his room with him
âGood nightâ, you greeted, waving at him, he gave you a devastatingly smile back
âGood nightâ, he purred
âYour hands are clammyâ, you accused when he gave you his to shake
âI can see through your nightgownâ, he said back, you looked down at your nightshirt, and it was sort of true, you hugged yourself with a squick, not having really the energy to reprimand him for the chuckle he let out
You opened the door to your room, and to no surprise, you found your roommate Maris drunk out of her mind, sitting on her bed
âAemond, is that you?â, she whined, trying to sound sexy, but the many shots she drank didnât help her, âCan I see your Oberyn autograph?â, she asked, you turn to him, to his completely horrorized faceÂ
âShe's all yours, friendâ, you giggled, walking away, you had another friend you could crush with
âTyanna, get some sleepâ, you hear him say out loud, closing the door behind you.Â
You only laughed, looking over your shoulder you found him staring back at you
âI can still see through your nightgown!â
âIdiot!â, you called back, how could you have ever guessed this was going to be the start of a beautiful friendship

Anti-romantic || JJk | Ch. 26
Pairings: Boxer!Jungkook x fem!reader || Enemies to lovers, neighbors
Genre: smut, angst, fluff, curse, illegal boxing, violence
Warnings: fuckboy!Jungkook x reader, smut, dirty talk, curse, mention of tarot and fate
Summary: Jungkook had always been carefree when it came to love. He always believed he was worth sharing himself with everyone, and thought it was selfish of him to ever think of keeping himself exclusive to just one person.
And maybe that was exactly what got him into the big problem he was in.
A curse that kept him away from love didn't seem an issue for him. The fact that his ex-girlfriend thought he'd be affected by the idea of the girls he slept with running away from him after sex was ridiculous. She actually did him a favor, and took a burden away from him.
At least that was what he thought at first.
He had never found himself thinking of the possibility of repeating with neither of his hook ups, because they disappeared before he was able to even think about it. But when he makes the mistake of sleeping with the sexy neighbor that lives in front of him, he finds himself hoping to get the chance for a second round every time their paths cross.
Y/n hated him the second he set foot inside the building by the way he started making her life a miserable mess for no reason. Sleeping with him was a big mistake she wasn't thinking of repeating. At least not until he came up with the excuse that she rejected him for a curse. Not only she thought he was annoying, but she was also convinced he was crazy.Â
There was no way she could take him seriously.
Aprox. time of reading: 19 minutes

MASTERLIST
Y/n lifted her head when she managed to see a blank sheet of paper falling next to her notebook, finding Alma with a smile as soon as her eyes were on her.
âWhat's this? âshe smiled, picking up the envelope to open it.
âI'm getting married âshe excitedly informed.
âOh my god. Really? Congratulations!
Unable to hide her excitement for her colleague, Y/n got up from her chair to hug her tight, moving her arms under her curly locks. It was so out of character for her, yet she felt so comfortable with that display of affection... And there was no point in denying that what had been happening the past few days had nothing to do with it.
âI didn't invite you earlier because we weren't really close, but I'd really like to see you there âAlma admitted, stepping backâ. Donna and Jackie are also coming, and I think some other people here as well.
âI'll be there without a doubt âshe assured her.
âAnd you can also bring that hot neighbor of yours.
When Y/n dared to look away from the invitation to look at her colleague, Alma was giving her a malicious smile while she winked at her.
Free drinks, free food... Jungkook would definitely love that.
âI'll think about that.
âI'll let you work again âher thumb caressed her forearmâ. I'll see you for lunch?
âSure! âfuck... Jasonâ Wait, no. I can't.
âLil' date with that cutie? âas much as Y/n attempted to deny it, she knew her colleague would just pretend to believe it while walking awayâ See you later, then!
It had been months since she saw Jason for the last time before he moved to Florida to work as an estate agent in a company, after being promoted in the branch office in Chicago. He was one of the biggest supporters she had when Noah passed away, and he still was -although he wasn't as present as before, and she couldn't blame him, life went on for everyone.
Her steps slowly paused as she started walking down the stairs to the entrance to wait for Jason there, seeing that same black motorbike she was a little too familiar with.
If those three days had worked for something for Jungkook, it was to make him dependable on Y/n. His mind kept getting busier with thoughts related to her, and he went past that phase of sending dumb messages to wait for her answer thirty minutes later.
He was a man of action.
Well, that... and the fact that Jimin got so tired of speaking to himself that he ended up coming up with the idea of taking her to have lunch.
It was so stupid, yet at the same time it made sense for him how, after spending so much time with her, he got used to being around Y/n. And far from being bothered by her presence, he was upset at the lack of it whenever they were apart.
And that was exactly why he was waiting in front of her workplace, seeing her coming out the building as if she had read his mind.
They were connected.
Jungkook took off his helmet, holding it on his lap with his left hand while he tried to push his bangs back with his right hand. Her presence, as always, captivated him. She was wearing a white turtleneck sweater that fitted her body perfectly, embracing it almost like a second skin. His gaze moved down to the black A-line skirt she was wearing, which had a delicate white grid pattern. As he looked down at the way it flared slightly at her knees, he noticed a pair of black, over-the-knee boots that looked way too good on her to be real.
â3A.
But he wasn't able to say much more, because she spoke as soon as she was close enough to be able to speak to him in a normal tone.
âWhat are you doing here? âshe asked, confused, looking at the other helmet he was carrying around his right forearm.
âLet's go somewhere for lunch âhe suggestedâ. I know of a good brasserie around.
âKook, I can't today. I already had plans.
He wanted to ignore how upset he felt about her words, but he couldn't even try to pretend he wasn't affected.
âOh, were you going out with your colleagues?
âNo, actually...
âY/n!
When he looked back at the owner of that voice, he found a tall and lean man, with a presence that was hard to ignore as he approached them with a wide smile. His dark hair was casually tousled, not even being messed up by the soft breeze hitting them, looking effortlessly stylish. His white, textured shirt that was open at the collar, was revealing a hint of a chiseled chest.
And the second he approached them enough so Jungkook could be able to pick up all the flaws he could, just to be punched with the calm confidence his faint smile radiated while his arms wrapped around Y/n with a hug.
His moment was stolen, her attention was on someone else. He was second place... and he hated being left in second place.
âAre you busy?
âNo, I was just speaking to a friend âY/n commented, pointing at Jungkook.
âHey, what's up? âthe boy, who seemed to be around their age, greeted Jungkook when aware of his presenceâ I'm Jason âhe tried to introduce himself, lifting his hand for a high-five.
Of course that was Jason.
âJungkook âhe simply moved his head for a greet, purposely ignoring his approachâ. Are you guys going somewhere?
âWe're going to have lunch somewhere around âJason friendly informed him.
âGreat, I was starving. That's what I came here for. Right, Y/n? âJungkook started yapping, hopping off his motorbikeâ I was just telling her.
âYes, you were. But you might be uncomfortable if you come âshe tried to persuade him.
âNah, I adapt well âhe ignored her againâ. I know of a great brasserie near here. Let's go.
She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Jungkook leading the way to the restaurant, as if it had been his plan to meet up with the two of them, only receiving a comforting smile and a shrug from her friend.
Not enough with that, he stopped himself and got on purpose in between them every time Jason tried to approach her to tease her for that new friend she had made.
It was no surprise from her to have such a peculiar fling, after her long on-and-off relationship with her ex boyfriend, but this one seemed to take the cake.
Y/n sat first when they arrived, picking up the chair at the extreme right of the table, just because it was the first place she saw.
âI'll sit here âJungkook rushed to say, stopping Jason from taking the spot next to her.
Although he took the spot right in front of her, Jungkook wasn't sure if that was a better spot or a worse one, since he got to look at Y/n straight in the eyes as they spoke. He was going to be able to hook her soul with his charms, and make her forget he was right at her left, beside her.
âActually, I want to sit here âJungkook spoke again, having Y/n dropping her smile.
âKook, it's the right same thing âshe rolled her eyes.
âThe air conditioner is hitting you directly, and I'm a bit hot today.
âThen take off your jacket âshe demanded in between her teeth, turning to smile at Jason right after.
âI also tend to order more than one beer, and I'm hidden here. The waiter won't see me. And...
âFine, sit here âY/n finally gave up, exchanging places with a smiley Jungkook.
That same smile slowly vanished when he started noticing some small details as he watched them speak. She was cornered by him and the wall, giving Jason the perfect angle for her to focus only on him. In the place she was taking before, she at least had the possibility to distract herself with anything else, but not anymore.
âActually... âhe wasn't able to say much more, her hand on his thigh stopped him from moving.
âJungkook, if you want to keep your legs, sit the fuck down in your place âshe whispered, bending over his body so Jason would only be able to hear some incomprehensible mumbles.
He just agreed, accepting his fate while his eyes moved around the restaurant, heart skipping a beat when her hand moved away to her lap while she smiled at that other man in front of him.
âSo, how did you meet each other? âJason asked, as soon as they both were calm.
âWe're neighbors âY/n answered.
âYou're so lucky, I don't even know who's living next door where I live âJason assured them.
âWell, it took us a bit to get here âJungkook smiled, moving his elbow over the edge of the tableâ. My wall is proof of it.
âI drilled a hole in his wall because he wouldn't stop being loud âY/n explained at the confused look from her friend.
âHoly shit, Y/n. A text message is too subtle for you?
âShe also ruined clothes by throwing bleach over them. Oh, and never forget how the old lady a few floors up now thinks I'm a sex maniac because of some... hot mail. And, she faked to want peace, only so I'd eat a brownie filled with laxatives.
He didn't know if he was bringing it all up to defend himself, to push a button on Y/n -because he loved it when she was annoyed-, or if he wanted to scare away the man that was looking at them in disbelief.
âSeriously? Don't play innocent. You sneaked yellow tint in my shampoo. I looked like Piolin for three fucking days âher body completely turned to himâ. And don't forget how you sent me to the ER after putting spice in my food.
âI didn't know you were intolerant.
âWait, you're the homicidal? âJason interruptedâ Why didn't you tell me before it was him? âhe scoffed, shaking his head.
âDid she talk about me?
Jungkook went deaf, despite him being the one asking the question. He was only aware of her friend's smile as he spoke, and Y/n's shy smile while looking down, while his heart pumped against his chest so hard that he was able to hear it perfectly.
She did talk about him with someone who was close to her.
That thought kept him calm for most of the lunch, ignoring how smiley Y/n looked while speaking to Jason, or how that guy didn't take his eyes away from her, not even when he was eating his roasted chicken. And he even omitted the fact that neither of them aimed at him once throughout their conversation.
Jungkook remained calm and quiet... until he didn't.
Y/n's body immediately reacted to the touch of Jungkook's hand over her boot, right on the small piece of skin her lifted skirt exposed. As soon as she felt his pinky pushing down the edge of the fabric, attempting to move forward before her hand tried to stop him.
It didn't matter how much she tried to fight it, there was no way she would success pushing him away without making it obvious for Jason.
Just like Jungkook, Y/n lost track of the conversation she was holding while his hand moved up, resting his palm on her inner thigh and her smaller finger so close to her panties that she could even feel his touch.
âJungkook, Y/n told me you're a boxer âJason tried to drive him back to their conversation.
Although some of the bruises on his reverse, and the light wounds on his knuckles gave out how he, at least, practiced it.
âI am âhe answered proudlyâ. Actually, I'm a pretty successful entrepreneur.
Y/n wanted to scoff at that comment, but holding back her skin from burning, so she wouldn't start feeling uncomfortable with her clothes, kept her way too busy.
âI own a gym âhe remarked againâ. Although I love taking control of what goes on there, so I work like any other employee would.
And because there was no other employee other than him and Jimin, and his friend didn't do anything else other than taking control of the administration of the place.
âI did boxing, but it wasn't my thing âJason laid backâ. Guess when you're good, you keep working on it. And if you aren't, you find a 9 to 5 job that gives you stability. My friend here âhe mentioned, pointing at Y/n with his headâ has an office job, but is everywhere except her office.
And Jungkook knew exactly why.
âYou talk like a grandpa, I don't know how Kelsey is keeping up with you âY/n chuckled.
âKelsey? âJungkook frowned.
âOh, my wife âJason answered with a lovely smile, showing off his golden ring.
Suddenly, all worries vanished away from Jungkook's body when he learnt about that significant other. If he knew something about Y/n, it was that she'd never stoop so low to get in the middle of a relationship, and even less while knowing the other person. The night she came back covered in wine was the best proof of it.
âOh, I have to leave âJungkook suddenly pulled his hand away from her, reaching to his phone with the otherâ. My partner wants to have a quick meeting.
âSure. It was nice meeting you âJason smiled.
âI'll see you later.
Right after saying that, Jungkook dropped a fast peck on her lips, that she didn't see coming -and which she didn't quite assume until she saw him walking out the restaurant.
âDid he just leave without paying? âJason wondered at her left.
âThat's exactly what he did âshe sighed.
âWell, I like him better than the asshole of Kyle.
âWe aren't dating âY/n rushed to deny.
âSure. You're just neighbors who kiss each other, get jealous, and who play footsie under the table.
âWhat? âher eyebrows lifted, while her cheeks started burning.
âIt's not like you're the best at pretending, and he wanted to make it quite obvious âhe scoffed, sipping on his beer.
âWe're just neighbors... Who sometimes fuck each other, and who're just getting on well âshe shruggedâ. And I might be liking him a bit.
âNo shit, Sherlock âwhile he laid back to look at her, Jason crossed his arms over his chestâ. He's a bit shameless, but I like him for you. At least you know you won't be bored with him, in the good sense.
âYeah, no. That for sure ain't happening.
They both made sure to avoid it from happening.
Shouts and jeers from the spectators blended into a cacophony of noise. Smoke from illicit cigarettes and cigars hung in the air, creating a hazy, oppressive environment, that combined with the smell of sweat and fear, mingling with the metallic scent of blood, made her dizzy at first.
Her eyes wandered around the place like they had been doing ever since they arrived, puckering her lips while she tried to memorize as many faces as she could. She felt like a cop undercover, just that she didn't have a gun, and if she was exposed looking too deep into some details she had no other way to defend herself than calling out Jungkook, who was on the other extreme of the warehouse.
His eyes never left her either way, even when he was in the middle of a fight -which he only managed to win because the other fighter was worse than him. That feeling of something happening to her while she was there had his heart at the top of his throat.
It was a bad idea to have her there -and he thought he learnt that the last time-, but knowing the way her eyes would shine with the news only worked to test his own limits and push his own rules away.
He was a dumbass.
âThere aren't good fighters anymore âshe heard a man rant behind herâ. Jungkook is an exception, and he isn't even out for sale. He's too busy being Elijah's dog.
She couldn't be bothered about that comment because, as much as she grew closer to Jungkook, the truth was that he was allowing others to play with him like a toy, using a gym that wasn't even his as a bargaining chip. Although she couldn't judge him for it either. Just like her, he had his reasons to do what he was doing.
âI think trainers shit their pants whenever they have to send these kids here, after what happened with the Line of the 21.
âThe best defender in a coma, and the best attacker dying of a heart attack.
Y/n paused when she heard that, recognizing her brother's case almost immediately. But still waiting to hear some other details that could confirm it was him.
âThat guy wasn't ready âthe man opposedâ. Whoever his trainer was, fucked up sending him to that fight when he had heart issues.
âI lost my bet that day, but do you know what I got?
Y/n subtly turned, just to be able to see through the corner of her eye whatever it was he was showing to the other man he was talking to. Her blood stopped running when she recognized that pendant, in the shape of a cross. Two nails formed the horizontal bar of the cross, and one longer nail formed the vertical bar, with them being arranged with their heads pointing outwards and the tips meeting at the center.
âIs that from the fighter who died? âY/n asked, giving up the act.
She was supposed to be there cheering for Jungkook, watching him from afar while he fought in the middle of the makeshift ring, moving over the mixture of dirty and dry blood every time he moved to attack his opponent.
âYou like it? It's pretty, huh âhe praised, enrolling the chain around his knucklesâ. When you have an eagle eye, you're able to catch these things âhe winked at herâ. While others were running away, I managed to find this.
As much as she wanted to be disgusted by that attitude, when someone else was about to die not even thirty minutes after he reached the hospital, the shock to see something that belonged to her brother being held by someone else was bigger.
âHow much do you want for it?
She was willing to pay anything.
âIt's not for sale, pretty âhe put on the necklace again.
âI'll pay anything.
âWell, that's another story âthe man stepped towards herâ. Why don't we go outside and put that little mouth to work? I might let you look at it up close.
It took Y/n to feel his callouses hands on the curve of her ass to throw a fist in his direction, shocking him at first when he didn't expect her to defend herself that way.
Jungkook, who had been watching suspiciously from afar their approach, suspected there would be nothing good coming out of their conversation, and he was right when he saw his dirty hand moving over her body.
It worked automatically: one hand on her, and his feet started moving, leaving his place for the next fight just to reach her. Her punch collided against his face and before the man could even lift his arm to attempt to hit her, Jungkook punched him again to make him fall to the floor.
âAre you alright? âhe turned to her.
âHe has Noah's necklace âshe mumbled, with her pupils shaking.
The bell announced the next fight, the second one he was going to participate in to seal the deal with Elijah. Although he knew the second he moved away from her, someone would be back at her neck.
It was a one second decision. And he had it clear before he could even hesitate to choose.
His fingers wrapped around her wrist, pulling her to assure himself she was glued to his body while they walked through the aggressive crowd that was anticipating the next fight.
Jungkook didn't even bother to take off the bandages around his hands, because he knew it urged her to get out of there. But as every time he was in a rush to get out of somewhere, something stopped him.
âAre you leaving? âElijah interrogated.
âMy girlfriend isn't feeling alright âJungkook answered.
âAnd because she isn't feeling alright you're leaving? Let her take some fresh air and put your ass in that ring.
âI'm sorry, dude âElijah's hand on his chest stopped him from taking a step.
âTen thousand dollars, Jungkook. Don't forget what you're giving up on.
That was the deal.
It would help him erase some debts he had been dragging for months, it'd even give him the chance to renovate some details in the gym. But he had to fight twice -with only the first one giving him one thousand dollars worth in equipment.
It was either money, or Y/n's safety -after she chose to lose her chill to punch somebody.
He had it clear.
Jungkook didn't answer. He only clenched his jaw while gripping on her wrist a bit tighter to get out of there.
Neither of them talked. And while at first Y/n wanted to blame the helmets, it didn't get any better when they stepped inside his house. They just moved quietly, as if their words were going to lack any meaning, and their actions were the only thing that mattered.
Y/n silently moved, kneeling in front of him in between his legs, with the aid kit next to him to clean the small wounds on his face. She had been too shocked on their way out of the warehouse to realize what had happened.
âI'm sorry âshe mutteredâ. I just... couldn't help it.
âIt's alright âhe lied.
âKook, you lost ten thousand dollars, are you serious? âshe called him outâ I'll try to pay you back. I don't know... I'll be giving you money every month until I make up for it.
He wanted to be mad at her, yet everything she said, the pitch of her voice, the way her eyes were tinted with guilt... he just couldn't. And that annoyed him even more.
âY/n, that's not the problem âhe held her wrists, keeping him from touching him, because he knew he'd lost focus the second her fingertips lied on him.
âAnd what's the problem?
âYou. You're the problem âhe finally sentenced, getting up from his seatâ. I want to be mad at you, and I just can't. I can't get mad at you, I can't stop thinking about you, I can't stop worrying about you... It's overwhelming.
Y/n pressed her lips together, turning her body to him, thinking it was the closest he'd ever been to being honest about his feelings. That was probably the weakest she had seen him since they met each other.
âAnd it's all your fault âthat accusation, with such belligerence, wasn't what she expectedâ. You're like a fucking disease. When I started being nice with you and came up with living with you, it was supposed to end with me getting done with you. Who knows? Maybe a few hook ups would make it all up, but nope. It's even worse. I get jealous, which I hate by the way. And now I even gave up to ten thousand dollars. It's so fucking insane.
She watched him coming and going in his living room, nervously yapping while confessing out loud what he was after with his sudden change in attitude.
âIs it so bad to like me?
âYes! âhe rushed to answerâ I was happy with my life until you showed up with your freaky habits, and crazy reactions.
Y/n got up from the floor, walking towards him with her eyes fixed on his. If there was something she found out, it was that she was stupid for ever putting her walls down for him. She wasn't scared of admitting she was wrong about him, she didn't care to admit she started liking him... but she did hate to realize that she was fooled.
âWhere are you going? âJungkook asked, watching her dragging her small suitcase from his room to the living room.
âWhy don't you do what you're longing so much to do and mind your business? âshe cut him off.
âDidn't you hear what I said? I can't.
âThen try a bit harder. I know that for that little brain of yours any form of effort is a big waste of energy, but just try it âshe turned to himâ. I haven't met anyone so childish and immature, stuck in his conformist complex, just because he's scared of change, in my life.
Jungkook felt his heart beating faster, and the air being cut from his lungs while a knot formed on his throat as he saw Y/n packing her things. He should be feeling relieved, yet all his thoughts were becoming depressing.
âDon't âshe warned him, lifting her index in the air, when Jungkook attempted to reach for her handâ. Do you think I have time to deal with your emotional detachments? I have enough problems of my own to deal with yours.
âIt's because...
âAnd don't mention that fucking curse, please âshe breathed deeply.
âAt least spend the night here.
New reinforced fact about her: she was a bigger stubborn than he was, and he noticed when his door slammed against the walls as she stepped outside.
She knew she wasn't supposed to go back to her place yet, but it was going to be something for that night. At least until she found a cheap hotel where to stay while the works were done in her apartment.
It was good while it lasted.Â

y/n stared at chris for longer than she wanted, zoning out in the process.
"hey. you okay?"
"yeah. i'm just gonna head on back up to matt's room. he'll probably be wondering where i am."
"oh. okay." chris watched as she got dressed quickly. he knew matt wouldn't care if she stayed in his room for the night but she was acting weird so he sat up. "hey. i didn't mean it, okay?"
"no. it's fine. honestly. thank you." she smiled softly at him before retreating up the stairs.
chris stared at the door, hoping she'd come back. but she didn't.
y/n looked at the clock on the microwave as she passed through the kitchen.
3:28
had she really been in chris' room for an hour? it didn't seem like it.
she quietly made her way back into matt's room and slid under the covers, being careful not to wake him. her eyes felt heavy but her brain was going crazy and her heart was beating rapidly. there was no way she would be getting any sleep.
by the time the sun was up, y/n had come to the conclusion that chris only used the 'l' word because it was in the heat of the moment, not because he meant it. if he had actually loved her like he claimed, he wouldn't have abandoned their friendship 6 years ago.
deep in thought, y/n didn't notice matt waking up beside her.
"hey. what's got you up so early?"
"couldn't sleep." she sighed and began to pick at her nails, something matt hated. he placed his hand on hers and she looked over at him.
"is something wrong? you know you can talk to me about it, y/n."
"nothing's wrong." she avoided eye contact, knowing he could tell she was lying. he knew anyway.
"does this have anything to do with chris?"
y/n sighed and finally made eye contact with her best friend. "how do you somehow always know, matt?"
"you two have been acting really weird around each other since you told us you caught him in his room. i figured your weird mood now had something to do with that."
"is this why you're so quiet? do you just observe everything?" y/n smiled.
"duh. someone needs to know things & it's not going to be nick or chris."
"good point." y/n looked at the door. "can i tell you something?"
"you know you can." he turned so his full attention was on her.
"okay, well let me start from the beginning." y/n paused for a second before looking at her hands. "when i caught chris in his room, he was getting off to a picture of me. so i offered to help him if he ever needed it. and last night, after we got back from doing everything, i couldn't sleep so i went to his room to see if maybe he needed dome help. and one thing led to another and we had sex."
"wait, for real? like, full on penetration?"
"amongst other things, yeah. then he said he loved me and i came back here." y/n turned her head towards matt when she heard him chuckling. "it's not funny, matthew."
"it kind of is. think about it. you've had feelings for chris for a long time but he was ignoring you, right? then it turns out he's been standing on the sidelines waiting for you to forgive him. then, this whole thing happens where you catch him pleasuring himself."
"gross word."
"but then, he finally got what he's always wanted & he used a word he's never used with a girl before and you just got up and left without saying anything back?"
"well, i did say thank you."
"dude,that is definitely not what someone wants to hear after they confess their feelings to you."
"what if it wasn't genuine? what if it was just because of the moment?"
"y/n, don't be stupid. chris has genuinely liked you for a really long time. granted, he made a stupid choice but if you truly think about that, it was because he didn't know how to control himself around you."
"matt, can you please take this seriously?" y/n climbed out of the bed and began to pace his room. "i'm freaking out here."
"sweetheart, you need to relax." matt stood in front of her and stopped her pacing. "now there is a man downstairs who has never felt this way about a girl before. like ever. okay, maybe he said the 'l' word a little too fast but it really is new to him. you gotta give him the benefit of the doubt and let him know how you feel."
"i want to, matt. believe me i do. i truly love him and i have no idea how to back track on what i said. what if he doesn't think i love him because i said the worst thing i could after a beautiful, intimate moment? he's gonna think i'm an idiot."
"and he'll love you so much more for it, i guarantee it. trust me when i say that there is nothing you could say that would make him not love you." matt smiled. "besides, you guys have already had sex. it's not like you'll have to get over that hurdle in your relationship now."
"thanks, matt. that makes me feel so much better." y/n rolled her eyes, but smiled at matt.
"come on now. you got to go talk to chris." he gently pushed her out of the room. y/n went to the kitchen and checked the clock.
7:38
there was no way chris would be awake yet unless he was in the same situation as she was.
y/n sat on the couch and put netflix on the tv. seconds later, her phone buzzed beside her. she picked it up and rolled her eyes at the message she received.
matty bđ: babe that doesn't sound like you're talking to chris đ
she tossed her phone onto the cushion beside her and stood at the top of the stairs. there was a faint light coming from chris' bedroom. she wanted to go down to talk to him but her feet wouldn't move.
chris was down in his room thinking about what he said. how could he have used the 'l' word so soon? what was he thinking?
he knew he had pushed her away, even if only a little, but it still bothered him that after what they had gone through, she couldn't show him the same amount of affection. maybe it was time to get over her once and for all.
his phone was in his hand and he quickly scrolled through instagram. he looked for anyone, or anything, that would keep his mind off of y/n.
but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't bring himself to message any girls back. all he wanted to do was talk to y/n.
so he sent her a text.
y/n's phone vibrated in her hand and she looked down at the screen.
chrisđ: are you awake? chrisđ: if so, please come to my room chrisđ: we need to talk đ
y/n slowly made the descent down to chris' room. she stood outside the door for a few seconds before the door flew open.
"hey. i was just about to go find you." chris took a deep breath as y/n wordlessly walked into the room. he shut the door and leaned against it.
"what did you want to talk about, chris?"
"i wanted to let you know that what i said earlier, after we....you know....i didn't mean it. i know it scared you off and i apologize. it never should've come out of my mouth."
"it's okay chris."
"no, it's not. i have never ever said it before and when i say it & mean it for the first time, it's not going to be after sex."
"oh. okay. got it." she looked down at her feet. "is that all?"
"i guess. from my side at least." he looked at her. "anything you want to say?"
"not that i can think of." y/n felt her heart breaking as she processed his words. "thanks for letting me know."
"no problem." chris felt his heart breaking as he observed the way her shoulders slumped and her eyes focused on her feet. he wanted nothing more than to take it back, tell her he truly did love her, and never stop showering her with praise. but she deserved better than him. he knew it.
"so i can go back upstairs now?"
"yeah. yeah of course." he moved off the door and watched as she climbed the stairs slowly. "wait hold on."
"what?" she turned around as chris made his way up to her.
"things aren't going to be awkward now, are they?"
"not if we don't let them be awkward." y/n smiled sweetly.
"okay. cool." he chuckled and turned around. "tell matt i'll be up in a bit and we can all go get breakfast. my treat."
"okay." y/n nodded and continued back to the kitchen. matt was walking out of the bathroom and when he saw her, he gave her a look.
"did you guys talk?"
"yeah. he said he didn't mean it. but that's okay. i can move on."
"i don't believe that you can, but i'm not going to argue with you." matt smiled softly at her. "where's chris?"
"he told me to tell you he'd be up shortly and hat we could all go to breakfast. he's paying."
"okay cool." he looked at her. "so, which one of us is going to be the unlucky one who has to wake nick up?"
"you do it."
"i feel like if you do it, he won't get as mad because he could never stay mad at you."
"good point." y/n sighed. "but you're coming with me."
the two of them travelled up to nick's room. y/n slowly opened the door and saw he was still fast asleep. she walked over to his bed and moved the hair out of his face.
"nicolas, wake up. it's time for breakfast."
"5 more minutes." he groaned and swatted her hand away.
"we're going out to breakfast with or without you & chris is paying so i suggest-"
"chris is paying?" nick shot up and smiled. "give me a few minutes to get dressed."
"okay. see you down there."
y/n and matt waited for 10 minutes before the other brothers came upstairs. chris watched his brother talk to y/n and the smile she wore was so much brighter than the one she gave him 20 minutes ago.
the 4 of them climbed into the car. y/n took her spot in the passenger seat and chris got behind matt. nick raised an eyebrow and got in while looking between y/n & chris suspiciously.
at the restaurant, they ordered and ate their food quickly. all while discussing potential video ideas.
"the video we posted yesterday already has so many comments with fans saying their favorite parts were all the times chris would look at y/n with 'heart eyes' and they can't get over it." nick looked at y/n, then at chris beside him. "you guys have been acting weird all day. no. wait. back up. you've been acting weird for way longer than that, with chris' stupid reason for ditching you 6 years ago. i still don't understand, by the way." he looked back and forth between them before shaking his head and looking back at his plate. "if you guys are into each other, then i say you shouldn't let anything hold you back."
"we're not into each other, believe me." chris looked at his brother.
"oh. so i guess that it was matt and y/n making all that noise last night?"
"no. it was me and chris. it happened once. huge mistake that will never happen again. so can we just drop the subject, please?" y/n spoke, never taking her eyes off her own plate. she moved the food around the plate slowly, losing her appetite more with every passing second.
chris looked up at the sound of her voice and immediately felt bad for what he told her this morning. he had no idea it was going to hurt her this much.
"yeah. of course." matt placed a hand gently on top of hers and smiled. "are you done eating?"
"yeah." y/n set the fork down and pushed her plate to the middle of the table. the boys followed and chris paid for the meal like he promised. the car ride back was mostly silent, apart from nick trying and failing to start an argument.
when matt pulled into the garage, chris was the first one out and he was already in his room by the time everyone else made their way inside. as y/n passed his bedroom door, she sighed heavily. matt noticed this and placed his hand on her back comfortingly.
"hey, don't worry about chris right now. i'm gonna run you a bath so you can relax. how does that sound?"
"it sounds like a great idea. thanks matt." y/n smiled kindly at her friend. he told her to stop worrying about chris but that was nearly impossible when her heart felt this way. all she wanted to do was go to him & tell him she didn't mean what she said this morning & that she didn't think it was a mistake. but he didnt feel the same and she knew she would have to bury her feelings again.
after her bath, matt and nick had set up a movie for y/n in matt's room. at first we she was confused. until she remembered they were doing a podcast today. so she put the headset on and hit the play button.
upstairs, the boys were settling into another episode of their podcast. the topic today was 'relationships and things they're looking for in a potential partner'.
"well clearly, i want to be with someone who can match me in every way. their humor has to mesh well with mine and they have to get along with you guys, obviously." nick looked at his brothers. "if they don't, then i don't want them."
"that's a good way to put it, nick." matt smiled and took a second before he decided what he wanted. "any future girlfriend needs to have the following qualities. loyalty is a must. she has to be able to take a joke & she most definitely needs to get along with you guys over anything. that's my top priority."
"how about you chris?"
"huh?" chris was zoned out.
"what type of qualities are you looking for in a future girlfriend?" matt asked the question, making chris drag his hands down his face. they both knew the answer but matt didn't think chris was going to answer.
"like you guys, my top priority is that she gets along with you. she's gotta be kind, smart, funny. this isn't a must, like i could go either way, but if she's a little on the short side with brown hair, then that's a bonus. she's gotta know how to make me laugh and she's gotta know that i joke around a lot so she'll have to know how to take a joke. she's my top priority always so she's gonna have to be okay with being spoiled."
"remember that time when you-"
the boys trailed off topic, as usual and just went with it.
y/n's movie ended and she decided to snoop through the games matt had. after 5 minutes of searching, she settled on hogwarts legacy. while she was in the middle of creating a character, matt walked in.
"hey. we're done filming the podcast and chris wanted to know if you wanted to come with us to get some food."
"chris asked?"
"yeah. shocking, isn't it?"
"then i don't want to go. don't want things to be awkward."
"whatever you and chris are going through, it can't be easy. maybe you need to tell him that he hurt you when he told you it was a mistake. i'm almost positive he'll understand."
"i hate when you're right."
"oh, so you hate me all the time then?" matt chuckled, causing y/n to crack a smile.
"fuck off, matt." she looked back at the game. "i really want to play this game though, so can you bring something back for me, please?"
"okay. but only because i love you and you know i can't say no to you ever." he kissed her head and walked back to his brothers. "she's not coming."
"maybe i should stay back too." chris glanced at the bedroom door for a second.
"no. we're not doing that. come on." matt grabbed his brothers arm and pulled him out to the car.
for the next hour, y/n was alone. she finished creating her character but grew bored of the game rather quickly so she turned it off. she walked around the house, taking note of how clean it was thanks to matt.
deducing that there was nothing for her to do, she settled on watching tv in the living room. an hour later, the boys were returning home with more food than they could carry. nick had only a drink in his hand as matt and chris struggled to get everything up in one piece.
"a little help, please." matt nearly dropped the bag he was holding but y/n jumped over the couch just in time. she picked it up and caught chris staring at her.
"wow. good reflexes."
"yeah. thanks." y/n smiled awkwardly and set the bag on the kitchen table. matt shot chris a look and followed y/n to the kitchen. he handed y/n the food he got for her and began eating his own. chris sat across from her and ate silently while his brother and y/n talked. he hate not being the one who could do that, which meant he hate himself because of the way he had treated her.
after they ate, chris went to his room. y/n watched him disappear around the corner and turned back to matt. he raised his eyebrow at her.
"if you really like him, you need to go down there and tell him. tell him how he hurt you and tell him everything. you two need to get over whatever issues you're having. and more importantly, you need each other. more than you both care to admit. so please, just go talk to him. he's hurting to."
"matt, it's different when a guy says it didn't mean anything. because for girls, we get attached easily. im not ashamed to admit it. and yes, i love him and it definitely meant something to me. but im not going to force him to feel the same way, matt." y/n walked to matt's room and sighed. she knew he was right but she was also really stubborn. this time, it had to be him that made the first move.
matt didn't mean to upset her but he was right. however, he knew that neither of them would be the ones to make the first move so he had to do it for them.
to christopherđđ»: get your butt upstairs. it's important
to y/nđ: get your butt out here. it's important
he sat back and waited for them to show up in the living room. when y/n ran out of the room, he knew his plan was working.
"what's so important?"
"well i-"
"what's so important, matt?" chris came up from his room and locked eyes with y/n.
"you guys need to talk and neither of you are leaving until you sit down and have a conversation."
"can we talk privately?"
"only if it's in your room and you can promise me you'll talk."
"fine." chris shook his head and went back to his room. y/n sighed and followed. once they were both inside, matt stood at the top of the stairs and made sure they didn't leave.
once inside the room, y/n took a seat in chris' chair while he sat on the end of the bed.
"i didn't mean it." chris was he first to speak.
"yeah we covered that this morning."
"no. i meant that i didn't mean it when i told you ididn't mean it. what we did was most definitely not a mistake and im really sorry for making you think i was. i have a lot of regrets from the past but having sex with you is not one of them." he stood up and knelt so he was at her eye level. her gaze was fixed on the floor. he grabbed her chin and made her look into his eyes. "i meant what i said about the love. i absolutely, 100% do love you. there's never been a doubt in my mind that i do. i only said i didnt mean it because i thought it scared you off. i was doing what i thought you wanted."
"what on earth would make you think i didn't want to hear you say that?"
"well, for starters, after i said i loved you, you completely zoned out and then you said 'thank you' before rushing out of my room. i figured that the feelings weren't mutual."
"chris, they're very much mutual." y/n looked at him. "i'm sorry for making you think otherwise. i felt like an idiot when i left earlier because you looked so upset when i reacted the way that i did. god, chris. i love you. so freaking much. it kills me because you may be my soulmate & i'm scared of pushing you away."
"we can get through this together, y/n. believe me. you are the only person i've ever loved & you'll be the only person i love for the rest of my life." he held her hands tightly. "i just want to be with you. please say you'll be my girl."
"before i give you my answer, i need to know one thing."
"what?"
"on a scale of 1-10, how much did you enjoy the sex?"
"literally broke the scale. it was so mindblowingly perfect and crazy & everything i have ever wanted to experience. you are perfect and crazy and just so beautiful. did i mention you're perfect? because you really, really are."
"that was a great answer." y/n giggled and before she could say anything further, chris grabbed her face and kissed her.
"so, will you be my girlfriend? because i don't know how i'll continue living knowing you're not mine."
"of course i will, chris." it was y/n's turn to kiss chris. she pulled him in close. to the point where he now had both hands on the arms of his chair and he was leaning over her.
"can we go get comfortable on the bed? no sex. unless you want to."
"come on." y/n got up and pulled him to the bed. she laid down and he hovered over her while kissing her passionately.
they were so wrapped up in each other that they didn't notice matt standing in the doorway. only when he spoke up did they finally pull apart.
"i'm glad my plan worked." he smirked and leaned against the doorframe. "make sure to thank me at your wedding."
"get out of here!" y/n and chris both threw a pillow at matt. he caught both and laughed.
"clearly you're meant to be together. good night." he tossed the pillows back and ran up the stairs.
"wow. that was a bit of a mood killer."
"was it though?" y/n smirked and pulled chris back into her. their bodies quickly molding into one as the clothes flew off and the sheets got tangled.

Note
Will there be another part of the Ripâs arc?
I would love to see Isaiahâs thoughts on everything Rip told him, and more of Dylanâs thoughts and feelings about the entire situation. Maybe you can write something about Dylan feeling a bit under the weather, because of stress and fatigue because of everything that happened, with Sel or Isaiah as rhe caretakers, if you go with Sel maybe there can also be a talk between Sel and Isaiah. If you write something inspired by my ask feel fre to change anything however youâd like.
Also is there any fics with Mat as the sickie on the horizon?
Maybe i'm wrong or misundersanding something, but Matt seems upset in recent chapters. Can we explore it a little? Somebody in comments mentioned about him interacting with Rip, i think it could be interesting.... (nothing specific. I'm simply curious how this new situation would evolve... For everyone) A.
We dived into Isaiah's perspective last time, so let's see some of Matthew's. Right guess that he was upset! Also Matt getting sick from some internal turmoil. Thank you for the asks :D
The weight of shadows
"You should get some sleep," Seline said as she stepped into the kitchen in the early morning.
Dylan was probably in the process of making coffee or something to eat, judging by the empty cup by his head currently pillowed on his hands on the dining table.
"I'm fiiiine," he said, speech all slurred.
Seline came up behind him, running her hand through her little brother's hair. He was always a ball of energy, always up for adventure and seeking trouble.
She had never seen him as dedicated to something as she saw him taking care of Rip.
"Seriously. He is steady, there is three of usâ"
"Isaiah's not here," Dylan protested, not opening his eyes.
"Yes, but me and Matt are. And he is stronger now, manages to move on his own. I think it's safe to take a break."
"Can't have him around another wolf, you know it."
"Soon enough you will be in your own apartment and he will feel safer too. But there is not that much that can happen. Go take a nap on the couch." Her hand slipped to his nape and to his shoulders, shaking him a little.
"Hmmmm....will you take it up with mom?"
Seline made a face, glad he couldn't see it. Dylan finding a place of his own would be good news, except they couldn't exactly tell their mother he was helping a stray wolf with a stab wound. She would string up five theories of drugs, gangs and more stab wounds in the future.
They have both settled on not disclosing the more brutal and dangerous details of wolf lives to their very human parents. Seline kept moderately safe with her two bodyguards, but Dylan usually jumped from one friend to another. Not long or accepted enough to be part of any fights.
Even if fights were a lot more common and "natural" for wolves, than they were for normal teens on crazy hormones picking fights and posturing like roosters with big muscles.
Gentle footsteps from the stairs had her head turning backwards.
Matthew came into the kitchen. He made a lot less noise these days, creeping around his own apartment and pack. Just to put Rip and Dylan at ease.
Her heart squeezed at the sight of him. He looked pale, hair all ruffled and he kept his distance as he came through the kitchen, settling in the farthest corner from them as possible.
She kissed Dylan on top of head, one more little nudge to his shoulders to take the couch and get some sleep, before heading over to the red-haired wolf.
Matt looked up and then down, as if shy although she knew he was anything but.
"Do I smell like him too much?" Seline said quietly, leaning against the wall next to Matthew. She didn't want to upset him by touching him.
Matthew shook his head, his lips pressed so tightly together they were almost transparent.
Dylan seemed to have picked up on the mood and dragged himself upright. A loud thud came from the living room as he collapsed over the backrest of the couch into the cushions.
Matthew stayed silent still. Something about that rigid defeated posture had her stomach sinking.
"Lots of foreign wolves you can't fight, right? Must be hard," Seline said tentatively into the silence.
Matthew shook his head. When he wasn't talking it could as well be he was having troubles with it because of his shadow.
But he was unsually quiet for the whole past week. And she didn't exactly feel fighting intention from him.
If Isaiah was here, he could probably tell what was wrong.
Her own lack of understanding frustrated her. She turned towards him, reaching out with a hand. "Can I?"
Matthew hesitated, then nodded.
Seline moved slowly, giving him time to take his decision back. She wrapped her hands around him, loosely and then snuggly, when he didn't protest.
The effect wasn't immediate, but as she held him, he slumped against her.
She huffed under the weight, surprised and pleased. It didn't feel complete when she wasn't with him, when she wasn't getting her dose of his closeness, his shadow, his scent.
His arms came around her back and he buried her nose in her shoulder, taking deep breaths. As if being able to breathe after a long time under water.
...
Matthew felt entirely stupid and out of place, gripping the railing on the balcony.
Though being held by Seline he was proud that her suggestion wasn't true - he didn't feel any inclination of fighting either the hurt kid or her little brother.
On the other hand, he was horrified that was on her mind and that he would feel happy with himself for achieving something like that.
Feeling like a stranger when his place was invaded by pack outsiders was something his shadow struggled with. But he also felt strangely...protective.
They were young, so lost and in his layer. Isaiah was accepting of them, making up solutions and promises.
Seline was taking care of Rip and everyone could see how caring she was towards Dylan.
Maybe all that contributed to Matt feeling like they were his responsibility. In his care. He had never felt it with younger wolves. He had not felt it until he, Sel and Isaiah formed a pack.
Then what was this creeping sensation up his back? Why was his shadow, even if not let out for a longer time, twisting and turning, crawling under his skin?
He could barely string out a sentence. Blood was rushing in his ears like before a fight and his stomach hurt almost constantly now.
He didn't understand the reason, why being a witness of this made him upset, why it made his throat tight and his chest hurt. The walls seemed to be closing up on him.
Sitting still hurt, but it went against the other protective side of him that wanted to stay, wanted to be near.
Which went against his rationale that he should not, for Rip reacted with such deep-seated fear and agression whenever other wolf aside Dylan came near him, Matthew didn't dare even pass by his room.
Which was his own room, thank you.
His head was a mess of contradictory sensations and wants. He wanted to run. He wanted to stay. He couldn't stay. Something about Rip made his chest hurt, made him feel trapped and sympathetic, afraid and nostalgic.
Agressive shadow, huh? How was he supposed to be of any help, when he was the same?
Matthew had never lived on the streets. He was in a boarding school, usually alone. When he couldn't get his pack to train with him, to talk to him, to even look at him, he roamed the streets at night. Looked for strays, cause they never rejected a challenge, even if it came from him.
Even when his sisters were afraid of him, even if his mother scoffed at him. Even if he felt like he would drawn in the darkness and loudness of his own thoughts, his shadow wanting to tear something up. And he couldn't tell why or how and he didn't understand it and there was no one who could make it better.
He knew he was close to being just send to one of the Big Three to get rid of him.
That if there was an Executioner in town, he would have been considered for the list.
What was the difference between him and Rip then? If there was one to speak of.
Matthew paced the balcony up and down. The fresh air nor the view were helping. The sounds of the city coming to life for the day weren't helping.
He turned back inside only for the guilt to hit him, when he spotted Dylan passed out on the couch.
He couldn't help Rip by being near. He wanted to be near. He wanted to tear himself to shreds.
Matthew sped through the door and up the stairs as quick as he could.
Seline's hug, her touch and her calming presence helped. He could feel her sympathy even if she didn't understand what was wrong. Not like he understood it either.
He went into the bathroom, locking himself shut. His shadow was crawling up again, like a fan behind his back, licking the walls behind him like black flames.
He collapsed in front of the toilet, knees hitting the floor hard and heaved. His body convulsed, his stomach turning itself inside out as water and his meager dinner splashed inside.
He trembled, a hiccup shaking his chest. His stomach whined, cramping together and he heaved again, another watery wave hitting the porcelain. It came out thicker this time and he could feel it in his nose too.
He whimpered, hoping no one from downstairs could hear.
Time dragged. Matthew felt nauseous and spend. At no point safe enough to leave the bathroom.
When he wasn't heaving and gagging mouthfuls of liquid into the toilet, he was curled up underneath it around his cramping stomach.
He kept seeing little snippets of fights with street wolves and little strays. Flashes of the life on those streets, glad to have at least the dormitory to go to. That his pack cared at least that much, even if he was a burden and failure.
At times he must have passed out, because his wrist watch sometimes jumped forward, when he was zoning out. Lunch came and went.
Seline was knocking at the bathroom door at one time. He wasn't sure if he wasn't dreaming it up. She asked him if she could do something. Bring him something.
His shadow covering the walls and mirror of her bathroom, he felt too ashamed to let her in.
And if he saw even a flicker of fear in her eyes, he knew it would be his last drop, though he didn't know what that would entail.
A particularly strong cramp had him cradling his middle when a soft knock sounded against the door. Matthew didn't bother answering. Sending Seline away was just as painful as having her thereâ
Then a tiny click went from the door and it opened and closed just as quickly.
Matthew forced his bleary eyes open to find a familiar black-clothed figure sliding down to the floor at his side. "Oh, hey..." He didn't want to say that it took Isaiah damn near forever to come from his scheduled breakfast meeting with Arnie, just thankful he was finally home.
"Buddy, hey, what happened to you..." Isaiah's voice trailed off as he likely took in the state of the black-swirling bathroom. Matthew shut his eyes right back to not see any disappointment in his expression.
"How did you manage to unlock the door?"
"Shadows can slide under, you know? And picking up a lock with this easy mechanism is simple."
Matthew snorted, despite himself. "You'll have to show me that sometime." He must have looked pathetic in the fetal position by the toilet. Cold dread went through him as he couldn't remember if he flushed after the last bout of fruitless burping, only a mouthful of bile coming up.
Isaiah knelt beside him, hand resting on Matthew's neck and then gently against his cheek, as if checking for fever.
"W-won't stop," Matthew admitted quietly, glad to have control over his voice again. Both his hands were still tightly wrapped around his stomach as if the warmth could help with the insistent cramping.
"Shhhh." Isaiah stood up to wet a handtowel in cold water, dabbing it against Matthew's forehead. "It's so warm here, no wonder you are all clammy."
"Yeah, not a good season to be sick." His head was muddled from dehydration and his throat was rough as sandpaper. But the more tired he got, the less his thoughts swirled around. At least he was getting too exhausted to even torture himself.
"Come on, let's get you up," Isaiah said, not waiting for Matthew's permission to slide his hands under his back to pull him up. The black-haired wolf propped him up against the wall, shoulder to shoulder.
Matthew didn't like the jostling, curling back up again, this time into Isaiah's side. His hands stayed where they were, which made him a little imbalanced, but Isaiah held steadily under him. His arm came to readjust the cool towel around Matthew's neck and then to wrap around his shoulders to pull him even closer.
Matthew sighed contentedly. His leader's return meant part of the responsibility had shifted back to him, giving him one less thing to feel torn about.
Isaiah sat there, button-up shirt and black pants getting all wrinkly under Matthew's weight on the bathroom floor. Calm and patient as always, only thin lines around his eyes betraying his concern.
"You are feeling for the kid," Isaiah said into the silence. "But you two are not alike."
Matthew swallowed dryly, eyes shooting open at the words. His insides vibrated at the words. Somehow, it hit right.
"He has control problems with his shadow, and you see yourself in him because of that," Isaiah continued, his head tilted to the side in thought. "But the cause is different. You didn't have the right training, and you fight against your shadow too much because you were taught to see it as an enemyâsomething scary and dangerous to suppress and not to understand and comfort."
Matthew winced at the words, feeling himself sink forward into Isaiah's lap. A wave of helpless grief washed over him, but the embarrassment was burning away in face of Isaiah's understanding. Isaiah always somehow understood shadows better. Even Matthew's.
"Rip is different. His shadow is actually very much in synch with his feelings. It obeys him on an instinctual level. It's rare to see this kind of...harmony between the two. His shadow is his extended hand, his sword, his wings. He sees freedom and justice in it."
"Butâwhen he can't stand other wolvesâ"
"That's because he feels that threatened by everyone. He lived in such a constant state of danger and vigilance he learned to see everyone the same way. He had no one to trust. When it goes on for too long, your shadow starts to embody it."
"Then why can't he tolerate humans?"
Isaiah sighed, his chest rising and falling under Matthew's ear. "That's a family reason, really. His father was humanâand the one person who hurt him the most. Human weakness compared to wolves seems like a disguise now. He wants to attack them, although he knows he shouldn't. Our shadows are just reflections of our deepest feelings. No logic, no restraint, that's what he would like to do the most."
Matthew let out a surprised breath. Deep-seated desire to rip humans to shreds...yeah, even Matt wasn't that far gone. He was mostly angry at himselfâat his shadow, not at others.
The knot in his stomach eased at the idea. No, they weren't that similar. Matthew wasn't that close to dying. Even if his control or rather, his relationship with his shadow, was actually worse than Rip's, their problems weren't identical.
Matthew could help with something like that much more than he could help with something he suffered from too.
His muscles unlocked and he slumped down, not realizing until then how rigidly he held himself together. He was sprawled over Isaiah like a puppet cut from its strings.
Isaiah let out a quiet but long exhale, leaning his head back. One hand went to Matthew's shoulder, while the other petted his hair absent-mindedly.
His shadow began to recede.

@ckhalloween23 heyyyyyy bestie(s) I know I'm an entire-ass month late, BUT
HERE'S A PREVIEW OF THE ELIMETRI DARKFIC I PROMISED
Listen, y'all can't give me a "Serial Killers" prompt and the opportunity to write the dark, unhinged Demetri Alexopoulos of my dreams presented on a silver platter and NOT expect me to go a little apeshit ^^;
Or. A lot apeshit. Because boy did I let this funny little comic relief guy SNAP â€ïžâđ„â€ïžâđ„â€ïžâđ„
Also, funnily enough, I realized over the course of the last year or so that I'm probably autistic? For the longest time I held off on writing Hawk's POV because I hc him as autistic and I didn't think I could do him justice, but...I've unlocked this Fun Secret Collector's Item now, I guess XD Eli "Hawk" Moskowitz POV acquired!
Decided to give it a stab here, since him having NO fucking idea how to react to Crazy Demetri was just too much fun. Hawk came to me surprisingly easy once I got started, actually??? I mean I've always related to him a lot but I had no idea it was like. An autism thing. I thought it was just an ND thing akisudhlkuhyfu
Head's up to Tory and Robby stans...this may not be the fic for you. You have been warned đ
CW for blood, violence, knife-threatening, light knifeplay, toxic relationships (although YMMV), mentions of murder, implied slut-shaming, homophobic slurs, and sexual subtext.
Fic under the cut! As always, moodboard pic credits available upon request :3
***
Hawkâs on his 30th rep when he hears the front door.
He stops mid-jab, the punching bag rattling on its chain as it sways back and forth. Scoffing, he rolls his eyes.
His mom must be home early. How fucking annoying.
He was looking forward to having the house to himself. With his father on a weekend-long business trip and his mother at her Friday night wine hangout, he was finally going to catch up on training without any interruptions.
The last thing he needs is to be outdone by Kyler Park and Robby Fucking Keene.
Hopefully his mom wonât come knocking, pestering him to watch movies or some other frivolous crap. He doesnât have time for that anymore.
Strange. Thereâs a notable lack of the jingling and clattering that usually comes from 50 million things being shifted through an oversize purse. Hawk pauses, listening for any noise.
Maybe he imagined it.
âWhat the hell.â He takes a sip of the Red Bull on his bedside. Some sleep-deprived delirium or whatever it was wasnât going to fuck up his focus.
Sure, heâs been averaging 5 hours a night, but who gives a shit? Itâs not like anyone in high school actually gets enough sleep.
Sensei Kreese said in âNam, they had to be ready to fight on a momentâs noticeâgeared to slaughter enemies after a mere 30 minutesâ rest in 48 hours. Hawk doesnât strive for anything less.
The stairs creak.
His mom isnât usually one for sneaking past his room, but perhaps sheâs too tired to be chatty. He thanks the powers that be this seems to be the case, and returns to his reps.
Jab, cross, roundhouse. Jab, cross, roundhouse. Elbow. Knee to the chest.
He counts them out as he goes, power surging through him. Sensei will be sorry he started singing Keeneâs praises when Hawkâs a better fighter than that piece of shit ever was.
Because throwing someone off a balcony when they had their guard down was a cowardâs move. Typical Miyagi Do bullshit.
God, Hawk hates them. Hypocrites. Losers. Pussies.
He thinks of a new insult every time he lands a punch.
Miguelâs fucking insane for not appreciating what Cobra Kai did to get payback. What Hawk did to get payback.
His fists are starting to ache, fingers burning from being smashed against rubber again and again. Hawk doesnât care.
Sensei would say the pain makes him stronger.
Jab cross jab cross jab cross jab cross jab cross jab cross jab crossâ
âYou know, at some point, I think youâre as good as youâre going to get at punching.â
A shadow blocks the hallway light.
Dread grips him in frosty talons. His arms still, the punching bag swinging back and smacking his chest.
He gasps, stumbling back. Still, he refuses to look at the doorway.
Refuses to let Demetri see his shock.
âWhat the fuck are you doing in my house?â
He presses as much venom into the words as possible. Enough intimidation, and Demetri will back down.
He knows now that Hawk is as real a threat as he ever was. And Demetriâs smart enough not to keep poking at a tiger thatâs already mauled him.
âIn what world would I not remember where you keep your spare keys?â Demetri sneers.
Well. Maybe thatâs a bit generous.
âWhat do you want?â
Hawk keeps his tone steely, hoping he can kill whatever plans are swimming around his ex-best-friendâs head before they even form. In all likelihood, Demetriâs here to be a nuisance at best and a night-ruiner at worst.
Fucking Demetri. Heâs always been such a distraction.
Hawk needs to get rid of those.
He thought he did. But Demetri is apparently either too stupid or too obsessed with the past to be properly scared away.
Irritating, but admittedly also interesting. It shows a kind of boldness that he wouldnât expect Demetri, of all people, to have.
âMaybe I want to check in on my best friend.â Groaning footfalls as Demetri starts to slowly cross Hawkâs room. âI see you avoiding me at school. And you didnât even bother to show when your little friends crashed Samâs party. Perhaps I want to see how you are, hmmmm?â
And try as he might, Hawk canât pick up the usual sarcastic edge to Demetriâs tone. He frowns at his far wall, confused.
Thereâs something odd in Demetriâs voice, and Hawk canât for the life of him pick up what it is.
He still refuses to look at his oldest friend. Heâs not going to give him the satisfaction of undivided attention.
Demetri is a pest, and should be treated as such.
âWeâre not best friends,â Hawk says tightly, landing another punch on his bag. âWhatever we were? Itâs done. Has been for a long time. Why canât you get that?â
He finally graces Demetri with a look. Heâs expecting the usual sullen lookâscrunched brow, open mouth, widened eyes. Like heâs eternally surprised Hawk doesnât need him anymore.
A look where maybe, if he prods it farther, Demetri will storm off. Or run off crying. Be out of Hawkâs sight.
Be somewhere where Hawk doesnât have to think about that night at Golf N Stuff. Or how it felt to watch Demetri writhe on the floor. Or the streams of vomit that ripped from Hawkâs stomach as soon as he got home.
Or what he did to himself in the wee hours of the morning, when no oneânot his mother, not Cobra Kai, not Sensei Kreeseâwas around to see.
But when Hawk glances over now, Demetri is smiling.
Not a contemptuous sneer, or a pained grimace. A full-on grin, splitting his cheeks and stretching much wider than the situation calls for.
Hawk inhales sharply.
Demetri shakes his head, laughing. âItâs almost endearing, you know. What a tryhard you are.â
He squares his jaw, refusing to budge as Demetri advances on him. âI thought I made it pretty clear what I think about you. You want another reminder?â
Hawk balls his fists, trying not to think about how hard the words are to force out. How hard heâs working to keep the iron shell heâs built around himself intact.
A strange smell hovers around Demetri. Acrid and metallic, like heâs spent too much time mucking around inside one of those computers heâs so besotted with.
âHow revoltingly naĂŻve.â Green eyes burn into him like acid, the glint behind them unlike anything heâs ever seen. âYou thought youâd break my arm once and be done with me?
Hawk finds himself backing away.
âIâm not going to make it that easy for you, Hawk.â
Something in the way Demetri spits his new name finally gives him clarity.
âSo what the fuck do you want from me?â he spits. âWhy did you come here?â
âI came here because you were right. About everything.â
Any response is snatched from Hawkâs mouth.
For several seconds, all he can do is stare. Demetri smirks, apparently reveling in getting a leg up.
Hawk is so confused that he canât even find it in himself to be angry. A strangled âwhat?â is all that comes out, pulling a snigger from his adversary.
âYou think youâve got it all figured out. Becoming the scariest fighter in the Valley. Making everyone quiver at the sight of you. Doing whatever you like because people arenât brave enough to tell you no. Becoming your badass karate teacherâs little golden child. Getting rid of your weaknesses. Getting rid of me. But thereâs one thing you got wrong.â
Typical Demetri. Monologuing around the point.
But Hawk is, nonetheless, finding his confusion turning to intrigue.
The mopey kicked puppy routine had gotten unbearably tedious. At least Demetri finally has the decency to give Hawk some variety.
âOh, yeah?â He curls his lip. âWhatâs that?â
Demetri casually leans on Hawkâs dresser, like this is nothing more than a Friday night video game session.
âYou think I avoid fights because Iâm scared. But thatâs not true anymore.â And thereâs that grin againâthat wide, unnerving grin that looks like it was pasted on from another human beingâs face. The sort of manic look that would never in a thousand years belong on Demetri Alexopoulos.
âI avoid fights because I know whoâs worth fighting. And whoâs worth hurting.â
Well, thatâs new.
Hawk narrows his eyes, trying to piece together if this is all some kind of trick.
âSee, Eli, you were right that the world isnât kind to people who get too soft.â Demetri starts sauntering over again, and that odd, metallic smell strengthens. âOr losers. Or weaklings. Or people who admit defeat. Give in too easily. Run off cowering and scared. So Iâm shaking all that off. Next time I fight, I wonât lose.â
As Hawk pieces everything together, he scowls.
âSo thatâs what you want?â he hisses. âA rematch? Like youâd stand a chance.â
âSo touchy. Do you only think of people in terms of whether you can beat them in a fight now? Boooooring.â
Demetri clicks his tongue disapprovingly. Itâs a mocking gesture heâs been doing since they were little, but now something about it feels chilling.
Hawkâs back bumps his bedroom wall. Demetriâs closing in on him.
Fucking hellâheâs getting fed up with this cat-and-mouse. Why is he even entertaining this stupid nerd again?
Itâs not like he gives a shit about him anymore. Then he wouldnât snap his arm in half.
âFuck off, Demetri!â he roars. âI fucking hate you. I donât give a shit about anything you have to say! Get the hell out of my house, or I swear to god Iâll break your arm again.â
He fills the words with fire and force and poison, hoping something will hurt Demetri enough to make him go.
He canât cave again. Not after heâs worked this hard to oust Demetri and everything he represents from his life.
Not after heâs severed Demetriâs bone with his own hands and smiled with his friends about it.
That shouldâve been the last straw. That shouldâve been what sent Demetri running for good, abandoning everything theyâd once had to save himself.
But it didnât. It fucking didnât.
Demetri takes another step into his space, curling his lip. âYouâre full of shit.â
âFuck you.â Eli returns his stare, baring his teeth. âHow are you so sure?â
âBecause you hesitated.â
Hawk goes rigid.
âI begged you to stop.â Demetriâs hands slide onto the wall on either side of him, trapping him. âAnd you thought about it. You didnât break my arm until all your psychotic teammates goaded you on. If you really hated me?â His voice drops to a breathy whisper. âYou wouldnât have even thought twice.â
âYou donât know shit.â
Demetri snickers.
âPoor little Eli. Youâve always sucked at arguing when you get backed into a corner.â
âI still broke it,â Hawk growls. âYou know I can do it. Easily. So how are you stupid enough that youâre still fucking with me? You some kind of masochist?â
âYou still care about me, Eli.â Theyâre inches apart now, Demetri leering over Hawk. âYou never got over me not wanting to join your little club of sociopaths. Whenever thereâs a rumble, you canât stay away from me. And you want to know what I think?â
âShut up.â
Demetriâs voice is husky in Hawkâs ear. âYou wouldnât hurt me when thereâs no one to show off to.â
Hawkâs done with this.
He lunges, shoving Demetriâs chest and flying at him with an outstretched fist. He waits for that gratifying moment of shockâthe familiar shift in Demetriâs features as he realizes yet again Hawk has no intention of going easy on him.
Demetri doesnât even blink as he moves out of the way.
Hawk course-corrects, swiveling and diving for Demetri again. He throws the fastest punch he can manage straight at Demetriâs jaw.
Why the hell wonât he give up?
Demetriâs fantastic at giving up. He always has been. He gave up on standing up to bullies and he gave up on Cobra Kai and he gave up on Sensei Kreese.
So why wonât he give up on Hawk?
Demetri doesnât dodge this time. He only swerves, allowing the fist to graze his chin.
He lets out a hiss of painâangry, but not surprised.
Without warning, Demetriâs hands shoot up. Hawk freezes as long fingers snake across the skin of his arm.
The next second heâs screaming, Demetriâs hands twisting until his skin burns. The other boyâs grip tightens, thrusting him toward the floor.
Heâs stealing my fucking moves again.
And frustratingly, he can do them fast. Hawk barely manages to use his other arm to shove Demetri off, stumbling back.
Even one moment of disorientation is too long. Demetri charges again, teeth bared like a wild animal.
One arm slams him against his bedroom wall while the other digs into his chest, squeezing the air out of him. And Hawk hates to admit it, but Demetriâs training-broadened shoulders have a terrifying amount of power behind them.
Nothing he canât handle. Hawkâs taken on bigger opponents before.
He squirms in Demetriâs grip, his own arms loosening enough for his hands to make a grab for the taller boyâs throat. Then Demetriâs pinning hand is gone, slipping in and out of his jacket in what feels like less than a heartbeat.
Something cold and sharp presses Hawkâs throat. His hands drop, tensing against the wall.
âWhat the fuckâŠ?â
âI didnât want to hurt you, Eli.â Demetri tilts his head, pouting mockingly. âBut you make it so damn hard to talk to you. Canât do a thing without you coming at me like some kind of rabid coyote.â
âSo you pull aâŠare you fucking insane?â
âLike youâre one to talk, Mr. Red Hulk Rage Issues.â The pout morphs into a smirk. âClearly, youâre not above playing dirty, using that sad little Eli voice of yours to get out of trouble. Figured it was time I caught up.â
Hawk feels something sticky dripping down his neck. His breath hitches in his throat.
He aims a hit at Demetriâs stomach. The taller boy bends with it, and the blade presses harder.
âOh, come now.â Demetri tuts disapprovingly. âDonât make me slit your throat.â
Hawk hardens his expression, channeling everything in him into hiding the shock.
âYou wouldnât.â
âI donât think youâre in a great place to test that.â
And heâs right. Hawk hates it, but heâs right.
This isnât the Demetri he knows better than the back of his hand. The Demetri he knows so uncomfortably well that he convinced himself over and over and over that it meant he was sick of the fucking geek.
This isnât grounded, rational, sensible Demetri. Somethingâs snipped his threads, made him start fraying at the edges.
Heâs unraveling, floating in an ether where the pragmatic and the path of least resistance that he made his life philosophy are losing their appeal. HeâsâŠ
Well, it seems heâs done some script-flipping of his own. Decidedâperhaps on a whimâto overhaul everything Hawk knew and replace it with something cold and alien and completely fucking unpredictable.
Was this how Demetri felt, that day Hawk showed up at school with spiked hair and a conniving sneer? Is this some kind of payback?
He doesnât care if this new boy with a knife to his throat killed and gutted the friend he grew up with. It doesnât matter anymore. That relationship only ever got in the way, anyhow.
He truly could not care less. Honest.
The only emotion he feels is annoyance that this new opponent will be harder to match, with erratic moves and a quickly-thinning conscience.
This Demetri isnât pulling any punches. One stupid or sloppy move, and Hawk will be on the floor gurgling his life out.
Heâs never taken Demetri for someone impulsive, but perhaps he just had a talent for controlling his most brutal and primal urgesâfor his own safety, if nothing else. Perhaps heâs lost this ability.
Hawk wonders what it says about him that he isnât bothered by this at all. If anything, he finds the whole concept exhilarating.
Fighting Demetri had gotten so boring. Now, at last, theyâre on equal footing.
Regardless, there could be a trace of the Old Demetri yet. He might be able to use that.
âPut the fucking knife away or Iâll call the cops,â Hawk snarls. âThink youâll get into Stanford with a police report on your permanent record? Or whatever fucking nerd school youâre trying toââ
âWith what phone?â Demetri interrupts. âThe one you left on the coffee table downstairs so it wonât distract you from wailing on your stupid bag?â
Fuck. How did Demetri even notice shit like that?
Hawk tries not to let the dismay show.
âWhen my mom gets home, sheâllââ
âMommyâs not coming for you, Eli.â Demetriâs smirk widens. âMommyâs getting drunk with all her friends to forget her unfulfilled suburban picket fence life with her nasty, violent delinquent of a son. And Mommyâs going to crash at Michelle Galinskiâs house, just like she has every Friday night for the past 10 years. And oh dearâŠDaddyâs out of town on his top-of-the-month business trip? Looks like no oneâs coming to save you.â
Fuck that. He can save himself.
Hawk makes a grab for Demetriâs wrist, other hand clawing at the arm compressing his chest. Demetri seamlessly lifts the elbow of his knife-holding arm and jabs the bony appendage into Hawkâs skin.
The knife blade doesnât even falter, pressing more firmly into Hawkâs neck. A sting, and he feels something warm trickle toward his chest.
The scent from earlier intensifies, and Hawk realizes abruptly that it must have been blood.
âMmmm-mmmm.â Demetri purses his lips and shakes his head, like heâs scolding a disobedient child. âItâll make it much easier for both of us if you donât act up. I really donât want to cut your throat, but I will.â
As Demetri sneers down at him, Hawk realizes too late that he couldnât cover his alarm.
âWhat? Donât think Iâd actually hurt you?â
The taller boy fiddles with the knife, sending little pricks of pain rippling through Hawkâs neck.
âI guess you know how it feels now,â he purrs.
Hawk spits in Demetriâs face, sudden fury overtaking him.
This pathetic nerdâs not going to make him feel bad now. Not after everything heâs done to crush the part of himself that possibly could feel bad.
âFuck you.â
And slowly, never once breaking his gaze, Demetri licks Hawkâs saliva off his chin. The dim hallway light just catches the moisture on his face.
âKeep it in your pants, Moskowitz. Weâre not there yet.â
Now Demetriâs definitely fucking with him.
Itâs growing tiresome. Nonetheless, he doesnât want that cut in his neck getting any wider.
Thereâs something distinctly unnerving about the way Demetriâs eyes are boring into him, sizing him up with a kind of cold contempt. Looking at him like heâs nothing more than some ugly insect to crush under his shoe.
Itâs the sort of callousness that Hawk has never onceânot in the entire time heâs known Demetriâbeen the target of.
And maybe heâll admit it. He dislikes it for more than just the fact it throws him off.
Demetri is spiraling into someone unrecognizable, and the sheer foreignness of the whole process makes Hawk shudder.
âWhat the fuck is wrong with you?â
Hawkâs voice is small and weak. Like Eliâs.
He doesnât care.
His entire sense of realityâevery absolute, irrefutable truth heâs ever attached to himself and his life and his oldest friendâis uprooting and spinning out of control, and itâs not like anything fucking matters anymore.
Demetri laughsâa sharp, hollow sound devoid of any real humor.
âLike youâre one to talk. I know what you did to Brucks.â
Hawkâs blood freezes.
âYeah, thatâs right.â Demetriâs knife slides from the cut on Hawkâs neck, beginning to tease the underside of his chin. âMitch told us what happened. And I damn well noticed when Brucks stopped showing up to school. Nice of your war criminal sensei to help you cover that up.â
Hawkâs breath comes in quick, short gasps.
Of course Demetri put two and two together. Of course heâd gone snooping so he could find something else to hang over Hawkâs head.
And the fall of that knife might be worse than the one currently tickling his jaw.
Part of him hates it. Hates being reminded of that day and hates being reminded what heâs capable of. Hates remembering the sight of a living, breathing person crumpling to the floor, and realizing they would never get up again.
But Hawk isnât stupid. If anyone can play Demetriâs games, itâs the person who knows him better than anyone in the world.
âDemetri.â He keeps his tone as calm and non-abrasive as he can. âWho elseâs blood is on your knife?â
Because it was still wet when Demetri shoved it up against him. And Demetriâs a moron if he thinks Hawk missed that.
âAh. And we finally get to that.â Demetri chuckles, gently tracing Hawkâs jawline with the honed edge. âYou seeâŠthe difference between you and me, Eli, is that I donât need anyoneâs help to hide my bodies.â
His heart drops to his feet.
âWhat did you do?â
âNot any worse than you.â Demetri cocks his head. âI hurt someone who deserved it.â
âDemetri.â Hawk steels his voice. âWhat did you do?â
Because whatever it was, Hawk sure as hell needs to take the proper precautions to make certain he isnât next.
âStopped at the convenience store on the way over here.â Demetri follows the knife with his eyes as he talks, expression almost affectionate. âRan into one of Kylerâs old buddies from the wrestling team. One of the kids who used to call us fags, remember? He thought it would be fun to shove me around. So I pretended I was running my ass away, and got him to chase me somewhere a little moreâŠprivate.â
Hawk gapes at him.
âDid you reallyâŠ?â
âShanked the asshole like a pig. He was so surprised he didnât even fight back. And let me tell you, it was the most fun Iâve had in a while.â
And thereâs that laugh againâthe broken, disjointed chortles that feel so jarringly out-of-place. Green eyes shining with a frenetic light that makes Hawkâs hands grow slick with sweat.
Demetri leans in again, knife held steady as his lips brush Hawkâs ear.
âI know how it feels, you know. I know what it is to get so angry that you donât even know what your bodyâs doing until itâs too late. Watch the life fade out of another human beingâs eyes. Realize you like it. Sit there panicking about being some kind of inhuman monster and then suddenly realizing you donât fucking care. And I supposeâŠI suppose thatâs another reason you were right. There is a certain freedom in embracing that the world is cruel and cutthroat and unforgiving. In finally unmuzzling the wild animal thrashing around inside you and letting it hunt the way it was always meant to.â
Hawk shudders.
Sensei Kreese promised no one would ever find out about Brucks. Staged some kind of car accident or binge-drinking tragedy or drug OD or some other way stupid teenagers die all the time. Kyler was barred from the funeral, with Kreese worried (probably reasonably) that the dumbass would let something slip.
Kreese told the class that if anyone snitched, heâd be more than willing to look the other way as they met the same fate as Brucks.
Hawk hated how much he enjoyed it. He hated how after the deed was done, he couldnât find a scrap of guilt in his psyche. It made him feel detached from himselfâthe abstract idea that doing that to another person was bad, but the complete lack of any emotions to back it up.
But thatâs who he is now. No going back, he supposes.
Perhaps, on some level, he figured Demetri would pick up on this and leave him alone. Decide that Hawkâs path was too dark and too dangerous for his pasty basement nerd tastes, and stay huddled away with the Miyagi Dos singing kumbaya.
That would probably be best for him, anyways. Hawk still doesnât know what other horrific shit he has it in him to do, especially when his victim pleaded so hard for mercy that would never come. When Brucksâ fruitless begging gave him an unmistakable rush.
And yet here Demetri is, claiming he was in a similar position. Claiming he lost control.
It isnât that Demetri canât put on an act if he needs to. But on some level, Hawkâs always been able to tell when his best friend is exaggerating or embellishing to make a story more interesting. Thereâs a kind of snarky undertone he uses, always giving that he isnât completely serious. Subtle, but easy to pick up if youâre familiar with it.
Thereâs none of that here. If anything, this is the kind of emotional vulnerability Demetri never displays intentionally.
Until now, apparently.
Hawk bites his lip. âYouâre not lying, are you?â
âYouâre so cute.â The tip of the knife jabs into the underside of Hawkâs chin. âYou thought I was someâŠwhat? Some sissy little do-gooder? The pinnacle of morality and mercy and all great virtues? No, no.â He giggles. âIâve always been as fucked up as you. I only managed to keep it buried longer.â
Hawk scowls, suddenly remembering exactly who heâs talking to.
âGive me a fucking break. You joined the pussy-ass âdefense onlyâ karate dojo. Your entire philosophy is about being sissy little do-gooders. Like youâd have the balls to pull even half the shit Cobra Kaiââ
The knife flies back to the wound in his throat, Demetri using his arm to ram Hawk harder into the wall.
âYou think I ever gave a flying fuck about Miyagi-Do?â he spits. âYou think Iâm some slavering pet like you, tripping over my little lapdog paws to appease my senseiâs every command? You think these asinine karate wars ever mattered to me? No.â He shoves his face into Hawkâs, blood on his breath. âYouâre the one so obsessed with following orders that you canât even remember who you were before you became some demented old manâs attack dog. Youâre the one so drunk on loyalty to a fucking karate dojo that you canât see none of this shit matters.â
Hawk bares his teeth, hoping with everything he has that Demetri wonât notice him shaking.
âEasy for you to say, when you pussied out after one punch in the face,â he sneered. âOf course you want to believe all of this is pointless when youâre on the losing team. But Iâm not like you, Demetri. Iâm no quitter.â
âOh, how admirable.â The knife presses a little harder. âTell me then, Hawk. Howâs being on the same team as Kyler? As fucking Robby Keene? You excited for the chance to help them hurt Miguel again?â
Red-hot rage rips through Hawk. He lifts a leg and knees Demetriâs shin as hard as he can.
Demetri barely even winces. His other foot kicks up, ramming the side of Hawkâs knee. Hawk scrambles for balance, heart pounding as he just avoids falling into the knifepoint.
âThought thatâd hit a nerve.â
âFuck you!â Hawk spits. âKeene was from your fucking dojo! You fought with him, too!â
âNot since he hurt Miguel.â
Demetriâs voice is frigid, rivaling the most biting winter rains. Every inch of him drips with a venomous hatred that Hawk has never seen before.
Not directed at him. Not directed at anyone.
âAnd now heâs in your dojo. Funny how that works.â Demetri clicks his tongue. âGuess your roaring rampage of revenge was all for naught.â
âIt wasnât.â Hawk curls his lip. âYou were all responsible, and we got our paypack. Itâs not our fault Miguel wasnât grateful.â
âOoooh, gotta love the Hawkâs impeccable logic! âAh, yes, I think I will terrorize everyone in this dojo except for the person who actually almost killed my friend, who I will agree to team up with for some reason!ââ Demetri returns his sneer. âAre you really such an obedient little bitch that you do whatever your precious sensei tells you? Even when you damn well know it makes no sense? Youâre more pathetic than I thought.â
âPark and Keene know their place,â Hawk hisses. âThey know Iâm the alpha. They answer to me.â
Demetri cocks his head, looking amused.
âEven if I were to believe that. Do you like sharing a class with those assholes? Do you like knowing that if one of them were to get their ass handed to them by a Miyagi-Do or an Eagle Fangâby Miguelâthat youâd be expected to rescue them?â
âIâd do it.â Hawk grits his teeth. âI wouldnât like it, but Iâd fucking do it. Sensei Kreese gave Sensei Lawrence and the others a chance to join back up with Cobra Kai, and they said no. Miguel chose his side.â
Demetri sighs, expression almost pitying.
âI guess âCobra Kai for lifeâ trumps a Cobraâs desire to beat another Cobra into the damn ground. Kind of a shame. I think youâd enjoy hurting them.â
What Demetri said earlier circles back into his mind.
I avoid fights because I know whoâs worth hurting.
Hawk straightens, keeping his composure.
âSensei says we need all the allies we can get,â he says. âEven if we donât like them. Iâm putting up with Kyler and Robby long enough to win the tournament, and thatâs it. Then Iâll find some way to weed them out.â
âI doubt it.â Demetri smiles down at him. If it werenât for the knife, Hawk would punch his teeth in. âContrary to how you act, I know youâre a smart guy. If you knew how to get rid of them, you would have already. No, EliâŠâ His voice drops to a purr. âYouâre stuck with them, arenât you?â
Hawk feels sick.
Leave it to Demetri to pinpoint his deepest fearsâa karate clan filled with the worst people Hawk knew. Not a single friend to speak of, and a sensei with constantly divided attention.
Even Tory was turning out to be a fucking snake in the grass. She certainly took to the boy who nearly killed her ex with not an ounce of guilt.
And yet she believed with all of her being that Demetri deserved a broken arm for what Robby Keene did. That he was a pussy for crying out in pain. Actions didnât matter to herâonly the name branded across the merchandise you wore and the color of your gi at tournaments.
For the first time, the thought makes Hawk seethe.
All this time sheâd seemed nothing but tough and fearless, but all she was was a shallow bitch who cared more about rank and status than a damn thing you actually did.
She was always going to hate Sam LaRusso for being rich and popular. She was always going to hate Miyagi Do for its association with LaRusso. But the second Keene bailed? Put on a belt with a cobra on it and showed off his snake-snatching skills?
She couldnât wait to get on his dick. The filthy slut.
And suddenly Hawk realizes that he hates her, too. He hates so many of the people who are supposed to be his allies. But he canât afford to think like that. And most of all, he canât afford to let Demetri see it.
He glowers up at his ex-best-friend, keeping his gaze stony. âAnd why do you care? You have your posse of Miyagi losers to pal around with. Why do you give a shit what I do? Just go home to your littleââ
âI left Miyagi-Do!â
The words come out in a forceful scream that practically knocks Hawk even further into the wall.
The sheer disdain in Demetriâs eyes for the group he had so cozily assimilated into sends Hawk reeling. Heâd neverânot in this lifetime or the nextâexpect Demetri to toss the whole lot of them out like garbage.
Demetri breaks into another grin, reveling in Hawkâs stunned silence.
âSee, thatâs another difference between you and I, Eli. I donât need some washed-out old man telling me what to believe and how to fight. I can think for myself. And frankly, I got sick of the âsafety in numbersâ business when it seemed âthe numbersâ were always the ones who got to pick my enemies for me. And no oneââ His eyes burn into Hawk. âNo one decides that but me. I hurt who I like when I like, and Iâll fucking gut anyone who gets in my way.â
Hawk exhales slowly, keeping his scowl pulled tight.
âSoâŠwhat?â Hawk sneers. âYouâre going to fight Cobra Kai by yourself now? Thatâs so fucking stupid.â
âNot all of them. Some of your class are just brainwashed idiots who donât know what theyâre doing.â He sighs, shaking his head. âAnd you, EliâŠwell, I think youâve lost sight of who your true enemy is. I was hoping I could help.â
âYou really bounced?â Hawk narrows his eyes, still trying to make sense of everything. âAfter everything, youâŠjust up and left?â
It canât be that easy. He knows it wouldnât be in Cobra Kai.
âYeah.â Demetri shrugs. âAnd now I have way more time for important things.â
âI donât get it.â Hawkâs frown deepens. âWhy would you strike off on your own? Did something happen?â
âYou happened.â
Short. Simple. Concise.
Completely baffling.
Not that that was anything new today.
Maybe itâs Hawkâs imagination, but the knife loosens a little.
âDonât you get it?â For the first time all night, something like genuine anguish prods through Demetriâs voice. âI meant what I said. I never gave a ratâs ass about the karate wars, or the stupid dojo feuds. All I ever wanted was to be worth your fucking time again.â
All Hawk can do is stare.
It doesnât make sense. None of this makes any fucking sense.
âAnd sure,â Demetri concedes after a moment. âAt first, I wanted to do right by Mr. LaRusso. By Sam. They were the ones who taught me. Toughened me up into something worthwhile. Worked with all the shit you thought was a lost cause. But it was always a means to an end to stay relevant to you. Then after what happened with Moon, I genuinely thought the Miyagi-Do philosophy would help you. But I learned soon enough that you were in too deep for appealing to the Old Eli to work. No, I had to speak to you in your own language.â
He licks his lips as the knife starts to slide up Hawkâs neck again, dancing over the bottom of his chin and onto the plump skin of his lips.
âAggression. Violence. Dominance.â He chuckles. âWasnât my go-to, but if it got your attention, I could make it work. And I guess I did, huh? I riled you up enough that you couldnât leave me alone.â
âYou wanted to piss me off?â
âIf thatâs what it took to keep you coming back for more.â And there it is againâthat wide, sadistic grin that feels so brutally wrong. âYou can leave me, Eli. You can disown me. You can shit on everything we had and make my life a living hell. But you canât bring yourself to just ignore me. Because youâre so weak that you canât bear to refuse the bait when I press your buttons. Because as much as you claim to hate me, you canât move on from me.â
âAnd now you ditch your team toâŠwhat? Fight me on your own?â Hawk matches Demetriâs grin with one of his own. âIâd wreck you. And deep down, you know it.â
âSo presumptuous.â Demetri shakes his head, tutting. âFrankly, I came here tonight because Iâm sick of fighting you.â
âSays the one with a knife to my throat.â
âThatâs because you donât fucking listen without me having to resort to extreme measures,â Demetri hisses. âI think weâre a lot closer to being on the same page than you think. And maybe if you dropped this whole tribalism bullshit, youâd see that.â
So Demetri wants a truce. Hawk should have known.
Heâs not surprised. But the way they arrived here?
Now thatâs a twist.
Itâs still an insane concept. Like heâs supposed to let his greatest enemy off the hook. Let Demetri get away with all the ways heâs undermined him and humiliated him and put the Old Eliâthe weak, pathetic nerd Eliâon blast for all the world to see.
But if Demetri really left Miyagi DoâŠ
Hawk finds himself wondering how much of his rage against the Miyagi Dos is his own, and how much is Sensei Kreeseâs. And if Demetriâs truly deserted âthe enemy,â does Hawk still have to hate him?
Does he even want to?
Demetri isnât that pathetic, sniveling dweeb anymore. Heâs crushed his old self as brutally as Hawk has.
Because the Demetri Hawk has known all his life could scarcely bring himself to cook with sharp knives, let alone use one to threaten another human beingâs life.
Or take one.
But despite everything, something still doesnât add up.
âI heard about your little rousing speech,â Hawk says. âAbout how important it was for Miyagi Do and Eagle Fang to unite against the âbiggest assholes in the Valley.â And now youâve abandoned both of them. Was that all just a load of crap, then?â
Demetri is unfazed.
âCall me naĂŻve, but I thought if Miguel and I were on the same team, youâd finally see some damn sense. Youâd hurt me, sure. Iâve known that for a while. But I never thought youâd touch the kid you went on a vengeance quest for.â He shrugs. âColor me surprised when you wrote him off as just another enemy.â
âI told you.â Hawk works his fingers against the wall again, uneasiness trickling over his skin. âMiguel chose his side.â
âBe that as it may. I figured if you were so far gone that you were ready to wail on literally every person you used to be friends with, I needed to adjust my strategy.â
âFor what?â
âFor getting through to you. For getting you to tell the truth.â
And Hawk doesnât want to think for too long about what truth Demetri has in mind.
âSo you pull out a fucking knife.â
âMhm.â Demetri snickers. âThatâs how you communicate, yeah? Threats and intimidation?â
Hawk clenches his jaw. âIâm not scared of you.â
âIs that so.â The arm suddenly lifts from squeezing Hawkâs chest, long fingers seizing his wrist. Heâs too surprised to pry them away.
He really should be expecting this kind of insane bullshit by now.
âYour pulse is going haywire, Eli,â Demetri murmurs. âEither youâre a liar, or something else has you energized. I wonder what that could be?â
Itâs then Hawkâs mind fully catches up to its surroundings.
He rips his wrist away, pivoting away from the knife and sending a knee into Demetriâs ribs. The knife tip slices his cheek, but so be it. Heâs endured worse.
Demetri gasps, stumbling back. Hawk makes a grab for the knife.
The taller boy is still too quick. He holds the weapon out of reach, using his other arm to thrust Hawkâs body back.
Before Demetri can do anything else, Hawk squats down and sweeps his leg. With a grunt, his opponent stumbles to the floor.
Something seizes Hawkâs ankles as he stands. He cries out as heâs yanked backward with surprising force, landing on the floor next to Demetri.
Hawk scrambles for the bed, trying to writhe out of Demetriâs grip and hoist himself up by the covers.
Itâll be over when I have the high ground.
What a stupid reference to think about.
It reminds him of the kind of game he and Demetri might have once played. Whoever made it onto the bed would get to be Obi-Wan, and whoever stayed on the floor would have to be Anakin, drowning in lava.
The idea leaves him feeling strange.
Demetri doesnât let go, snarling like a hyena as he tries to tug Hawk back. The knife teases his skin, an imminent threat if he makes any moves too sudden.
Heâd kick the annoying asshole away from him, but he doesnât want the sole of his foot sliced open. If he canât walk, he canât fight.
Suddenly, Demetri cries out, grip loosening. In Hawkâs struggles, he mustâve rammed into a sensitive spot. He yanks himself free, scrambling onto the bed and frantically trying to plan his next move.
He realizes his mistake a half-second too late.
Demetri, gleefully bluffing, rises to his full height. Smirking, he pounces like a jaguar.
He lands heavily on Hawkâs stomach, slamming him against the bed. The back of his head smacks against the headboard, filling his vision with stars.
He barely has time to let out a pained gasp before Demetriâs knees are digging into his quadriceps, pinning him again. Growling, he aims a punch at Demetriâs throat.
His fist meets its target, pulling a strangled gasp. Hawk clasps his arms around Demetriâs torso, trying to thrust him off the bed.
For a moment they struggle, yanking and shoving wildly in an attempt to gain an advantage. Then Hawk feels long arms wrap around his back, bony fingers clutching at his throat.
The tingling pain of blade against skin, and Hawk realizes Demetri kept hold of his knife.
Whenever I think heâs finally going to drop that damned thingâŠ
The knife jabs into him, strengthening its grip until heâs pressed flat on his back. At last Demetri loosens his grip, sizing up his victim with a satisfied beam.
Hawk squirms, bed creaking as he does his best to jostle Demetri off. The other boy holds fast, gazing down at him with a pitying look.
The blade digs in again, and Hawkâs struggles weaken.
âCome now. How many times do we have to go over this?â
âLet. Me. Go.â
âI donât believe I was finished.â
Demetri tilts his head to the side, breaking into another crazed grin that sends dread trickling straight down to Hawkâs bones.
âShut up Demetri.â
âI see you staring at me. All this time, and all these girls you tried so hard to fuck, and everything always comes back to your stupid middle school infatuation.â
âSHUT UP!â
Hawk squeezes his eyes shut, trying to bleach Demetriâs cold, smug expression from his mind.
âRight after you had your Bar Mitzvah, you asked me to kiss you. You figured since I already had mine, we were both adults now. And adults do grown-up things like kissing.â
âSTOP IT!â
And suddenly Hawk is screaming at the top of his lungs because he knows where this is going. Because they were just stupid kids, and that canât mean anything.
âI said of course I would, because Iâd always liked you, Eli.â Demetriâs voice only grows louderâmore insistent. âAnd I go in to give you a peck, and you grab my arms and stick your entire tongue in my mouth.â
âShut the fuck up, Demetri!â
He feels something wet dribbling down his face, and wonders if the cut on his cheek got stretched wider in his and Demetriâs scuffle. Itâs certainly stinging enough for it.
UnlessâŠ
Hawk wishes he could dissolve.
âI told you Iâd kiss you a thousand more times if you wanted.â Demetriâs voice has grown sharper than his blade. âAnd I would have. And for a long while, I thought there might be the most infinitesimal possibility that you felt something, too. Now I know I was right.â
He laughs, the sound acrid and bitter and full of flint.
âBecause even after everything, youâre still obsessed with me. You watch me across the lunchroom and pretend youâre âmonitoring the enemy,â but I know you miss me. You miss when I made you laugh, and you miss when I talked to people so you didnât have to. You chase me around in every battle, but when it comes right down to it, you canât hurt me in any significant way until youâre bullied into it. You pick fights with me so you can put your hands all over my body and not have anyone look at you askance for it.â
âFUCK YOU!â
Maybe if he screams loud enough, Demetri wonât pay too much attention to the wet trails smearing the blood from his cuts.
Caustic breath is hovering inches above Hawk, misting onto his lips. Still, he refuses to open his eyes.
âIt must be exhausting, you know,â Demetri whispers. âLiving your life in denial like that. Wearing your entire personality like some cheap Halloween costume and convincing yourself thatâs a fulfilling existence. Donât you want to be free?â
âIâm not hiding anything,â Hawk growls. âI do whatever I like. Itâs not my fault you donât like who I really am.â
âWho you really are, hmmm?â Demetriâs lips brush his earlobe, voice a barely-audible murmur. âSo tell me the truth then, Eli. Do you still want me?â
The bluntness of the question almost blows a hole in his composure.
âOf course I donât.â
âStop fucking lying!â
All at once, Demetriâs voice is a deafening, furious scream again. The knife slices Hawkâs jaw.
Not enough to do any real harm, but enough to really hurt. Hawk freezes, held prisoner by the burst of sharp, sudden pain.
âItâs always lies, lies, lies with you,â Demetri snarls. âFake name. Fake hair color. Fake personality. Fake interests. Fake friends who only kiss the ground you walk on because theyâve never seen you at your weakest. Fake relationships with girls you barely let know youâto the point you think theyâd leave you for liking to code. And the absolute drivel you feed yourself that this goddamn farce is what you want to live in forever. You think youâre starring in some martial arts epic, and youâre so wrapped up in your stupid method acting that you never want to step offscreen. Like everyoneâs on the edge of their seat about your pitiful life like itâs the fucking Truman Show. And at the end of the day? Youâre still too much of a pussy to tell me the truth.â
Hawkâs skin tingles, shivers rippling through him. If his heart was pounding before, itâs thundering now.
Somehow it doesnât feel like fear. Heâs used to this new version of Demetri enough not to cower from him.
No, itâs something far worse. And Demetri knows it.
âYou canât hide from me.â The other boyâs tone drips with haughtiness, savoring the ability to confirm Hawkâs worst fears. âI see right through your bullshit. I always have. So Iâll ask you one more time. Do you want me?â
The knife slides down to Hawkâs throat again, pressing firmly.
âLie and Iâll kill you.â
Heâs probably bluffing. Maybe. Surely.
Perhaps it doesnât matter anymore. Sprawled out on his childhood bed, underneath the only other person he frequently shared it with.
The person he used to watch sleep, wondering wistfully if the freak with the lip scar ever made it into his best friendâs dreams.
He opens his eyes and finally meets Demetriâs gaze, in all of its searing, insurmountable beauty.
âYeah.â
He breathes it out quiet and fragileâa soft promise. A rare moment of openness that he lets free of his unbreakable shell.
Demetri drops the knife. It falls behind the bed, thumping onto the carpet below.
He swoops down, seizing Hawkâs neck and yanking him up. When their mouths meet, Hawk is nearly thrown back with the force of it.
Demetri kisses like a starved animal, lapping and nipping in a crazed frenzy. The weight of his muscle-toned body is crushing, locking Hawk firmly against the mattress.
He tastes like blood and cold steel and cruelty. Hawk shudders.
This time, heâs certain it isnât fear. Itâs a rush he only thought he could get from smashing his fists against plastic or skin, or feeling another personâs body go limp and lifeless underneath his.
And itâs ironic. The more Demetri tries to devour Hawk, the more Hawk wants to let it happen.
Thereâs an odd satisfaction to it, he thinks. Being completely at someone elseâs mercy.
And Demetri isnât fighting with any.
***
OKAY, time for some #authorrants because I feel like some of the choices I made in this fic are. Controversial, to say the least. Lmao.
So something that has bugged the crap out of me for a while now is people in this fandom acting like there is any world where Demetri would choose Robby over Miguel. I remember after S3 dropped, there was a lot of "dId tHeY fOrGeT tHe dEmEtRi-rObBy FrIeNdShIp" type sentiment floating around irt why Demetri didn't stay in contact with Robby the way Sam and the LaRussos did. Maybe it's because, I don't know, Robby threw the guy Demetri never actually stopped being close friends with over a balcony and almost killed him???
Like. Not that these showrunners don't ever forget things, but this absolutely is not one of them. Robby paralyzing Miguel is a BEYOND valid reason to sever ties with him, especially when you were just casual dojo bros for a couple months tops. When push came to shove, Demetri pretty unequivocally CHOSE MIGUEL. He brought him a comic book in the hospital! He was thrilled to see him back at school and picked up their friendship right where it left off! He DOES NOT VISIBLY FORGIVE ROBBY UNTIL MIGUEL DOES! Idk idk it just really riles me when people do not take Demetri and Miguel's friendship into account when discussing the Demetri-Robby relationship and why they stopped being friends when they did. Tbh I don't think it's that hot of a take to assume Demetri would have more loyalty to the guy who befriended him when he was a nobody and proceeded to be one of his closest ride-or-die friends for a whole-ass year over the guy he was casual buds with because they happened to share a karate instructor -_____- I could go on about this for several more paragraphs, but that's a rant for another day.
(As far as the LaRussos go, they were all closer to Robby and were basically his adoptive family, which is why they--particularly Sam--were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and say the Miguel thing was an accident. Demetri didn't know Robby well enough to make that call, and had no actual proof it WAS an accident except for maybe Sam's word.)
Some other things to ramble about:
I remember in some interview a while back (I think with Martin Kove?) someone asked about Hawk and Marty or whoever was being interviewed said he was "on his way to being a serial killer" or smth. And Jacob's talked a little bit about the kind of escalating delinquent shit Hawk would get up to if he was never redeemed, etc. So going with that: Bold of y'all to assume the kid simping for Hawk since episode 1 wouldn't renounce his morals and join him on the path to villainy. Sorry but I truly believe Demetri's horniness for Hawk can and would win out over any ethical qualms in the end. Also Demetri is horny for violence and evil this is canon otherwise he would in fact not have simped for S3 Hawk so PAINFULLY BADLY god bless
Also this was partly inspired by those post-S3 jokes that were like "lol what happened to Brucks??? Did Hawk kill him???"...well, what if he did, tho? O_____O
Disclaimer that I promise I do not endorse the Tory slut-shaming!!! Tbh I didn't really wanna write it, but...I think given the circumstances, Hawk WOULD be pretty furious at her for getting chummy with Robby and "betraying" Miguel. And unfortunately, since he's a teenage boy with (canonical!) misogynistic tendencies...I do think that would most likely come across as slut-shaming D: But y'all have brains y'all know I don't condone everything I write about aknhdksuyhf (Murder is probably not something you should try at home either btw)
Hopefully I didn't make Hawk too weaksauce in this ^^; My excuses are a) I suck at writing fight scenes and tend to just want to get to the psychosexual dialogue and knife-teasing, so. If I rushed anything to get there I apologize. b) Going by the school fight, Hawk is indeed thrown off when Demetri takes the offensive (especially in a super dramatic kind of way) and his confused pause is in fact enough time for Demetri to get an advantage and c) The man is thrown off his game!!! Thrown off his groove, even!!! His sissy pussy nerd ex-friend shows up acting like a disturbed maniac and he is so O_____o about it that his moves are off!!! He's sucking a little but it's not his fault đIt's Demetri's for subverting expectations đ
I also feel like if Demetri started McFucking Losing It and was generally less grounded in the physical and rational world, physical pain wouldn't register quite as much. Like he's in his head enough now that he's kinda lost his grip on reality and things happening in the physical world don't seem as relevant or immediate, if that makes any sense? Also idk. Maybe after the arm break his pain tolerance just went up :O Anyways that's why he recovers pretty fast when Hawk DOES land a hit. Demetri is nuts now đ
I will die on my hill that Demetri like. Really REALLY isn't as morally upstanding as people like to think XD Like I say this with love but from the top he's been a self-interested little shit who just happens to be extremely loyal to the very small handful of people he actually likes. My dudes, he didn't join Miyagi Do because he liked their philosophy better--he joined because they were less on board with punching him in particular in the face XD This dude saw Cobra Kai being fucks and playing dirty at the AVT and he STILL up and says "I wanna come back because I like the 'safety in numbers' aspect of joining a gang" XD I always got the vibe the "well at least I'm not an asshole LIKE YOU" he throws at Eli later is more because he likes to feel self-righteous. I say all of this as his biggest fan btw. I think more people should embrace the self-interested king he is and write about him and Eli being absolute dicks together instead of to each other đ
I guess that's what I'm here for!!!
Anyways I think Demetri and Eli have the same potential to be absolutely horrific people, and I think we're all very lucky that Demetri was too lazy to challenge his comfort zone and stick with Cobra Kai XD We're very fortunate he happened to end up using his speed and his brains to help his friends who happened to be on the Good Guy Side rather than his friends who happened to be on the Bad Guy Side.
I also think people put WAY too much stock in Demetri's ability to staunchly stick with the good guys and have enough of a moral backbone to just keep opposing Eli's douchebaggery indefinitely. My mans is NOT that much of a saint, trust. From how quickly he forgave Eli for a HUGE number of atrocities, he seemed to be like. Waiting on his ass for Eli to come back to him. And if Eli never did???
I mean. Bruh. Someone you've been deeply in love with for years throws you out like last night's trash and just progressively starts being more and more awful to you??? You think it's feasible for my boy Demetri to stay strong and sane and reasonable forever, and just keep on fighting the good fight??? HELL NO. This dude is either a) quitting karate and moving schools so he doesn't have to deal with constantly being pummeled by the dude he's in love with or b) going completely fucking insane from the cognitive dissonance of being in love with a dude who constantly beats his ass.
Listen. I have been in love. If my friend who I was in love with turned evil and joined an evil karate school and started wailing on me all the time, I would either pull an Aisha and haul ass out of there or I would simply lose my mind and become evil. Go full Jinx from Arcane. Sorry if you're a hater who doesn't think Demetri Alexopoulos has it in him to go apeshit, but you're wrong and also boring. The funny kooky comic relief guys are always one thread away from losing their shit because everyone assumes because they're funny and kooky they have no depth and no end to their bullshit tolerance. I would know because I am one of these Guys in real life. Put some respecc on my boy's name and also give him another knife đȘ
For anyone looking at me askance like "Demetri doesn't have it in him to kill!" Yes he does. I'm sending him over to your house to stab you right now đ©”
No fr tho, like there was MURDER in this man's eyes when Kyler was bullying Eli in the library. There was MURDER in this man's eyes fighting Robby at the AVT in S4. I have full confidence that if he could get away with stabbing his enemies, he would. So would Eli but I feel like this is a less contested opinion.
Also this is interesting so it's something I might go into detail about in another post, but one thing I noticed while kinda brainstorming how Demetri would snap is that Demetri is loyal to people, while Eli is loyal to concepts and ideas.
Demetri I don't think is actually that married to or slavish about MD principles tbh. Demetri isn't really averse to violence conceptually (even back in S1 it's only ever about him disliking BEING hit, not disliking hitting people!!) and doesn't actually do the defense-only thing that often. Several times we see him instigate with Hawk, or help Sam instigate with CK in general. The times we see him stick his neck out to really help Miyagi Do, he seems like he's doing so more out of loyalty to his friends (namely Sam, Chris, and Nate--also Miguel irt the dojo team-up at the end of S3) than loyalty to Miyagi Do as a dojo.
Eli, meanwhile, is way more loyal to concepts he puts a lot of stock in than the people in his life who challenge this. He sees Cobra Kai as this almighty saving grace that is for LIFE, and he doesn't think twice about ditching Demetri and Miguel when they turn their backs on it. He stays in this dojo even as his friends leave and it fills up with people he hates, and his sensei dismisses and ignores his concerns. Because this dojo saved him from his horrible, bullied life, and now he feels like he owes everything to the Cobra Kai name, despite who's actually behind the name. Also why I think Demetri uses "my karate dojo needs your help!" as the selling point to get Eli to join MD in S4. HIS motivation is probably much more that he just wants him and Eli to stay together, but he knows Eli values dojo loyalty above everything, so Dem kinda makes it more about that than friendship.
Anyways! That's all for now! The whole fic should be up on my AO3 sometime in December :3

the txt frat had been known to throw some wild parties but none of them were as packed or chaotic as this one. so many people were there that the party spilled into the back and front yard. people drank and danced and laughed, too consumed by the atmosphere to focus on anything else. it wouldâve been a shock if anyone could even focus on their thoughts over the rap music that shook the whole property.
the only exception to this chaos was the living room.
the living room of the frat house was quiet beside the music in the background. a bunch of people had crowded around the ping pong table set up in the corner of the room, to watch the round of beer pong that seemed to go on for hours. both teams were neck in neck, each with one cup left on each side.
it was jakeâs turn now. he picked up his last ping pong ball and kissed it for good luck, hoping that it would hit its intended target. everyone in the room tensed when jake released the ball, watching as it soared across the table.
âcome on. come on.â jake mumbled.
the ball circled the rim of the cup once, then twice, before falling in.
everyone around the table cheered. jake and sunghoon had just won their 5th round of beer pong in a row. heeseung sighed in defeat before downing the last cup of beer.
âFUCK YEAH! THATâS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!â sunghoon shouted as he and jake high-fived each other. âI TOLD YOU! MY BOYâS A BEER PONG GENIUS!â
jake smiled and shrugged. âitâs just physics man. shit was light work.â
âyou guys hear that?!?â sunghoon called to jay and heeseung. âjake said playing yâall was light work.â
âthen I guess he wouldnât mind playing again. for money this time.â heeseung said as he pulled out his wallet.
the crowd let out a loud âoooohâ at the offer.
âas much as i would love to run your pockets,â jake grinned. âi think Iâm gonna go get some air.â
the crowd booed at jake, wanting to see him win another round of beer pong.
"come on man! one more round!" sunghoon pleaded. "itâs easy money."
jake's face broke into a grin as he shook his head. "nah man, winning is getting kind of boring." jake sighed. "plus it's not fair to the losers."
heeseung and jay booed at jake. "what? you afraid we might actually smoke you this time?" jay slurred.
jake rolled his eyes. "oh yeah, I'm so terrified." he taunted.
sunghoon laughed and clapped jake on the back. âdonât get into too much trouble out there.â he said.
âno promises.â jake winked and made his way through the crowd, trying to find his way out of the living room.
maybe it was because of the music blasting or the alcohol in his system was finally catching up with him but jake really started to feel the buzz. everything seemed out of focus as he stumbled through the house. he didnât mind it though, it was rare that he got to let loose like this.
one second he was in what looked like the kitchen the next he was in a different room at the other side of the house. he somehow ended up in the main hallway though he wasnât entirely sure how he got there. the music was even louder now causing jake to grimace. he felt like sound waves were splitting his skull in half.
âmaybe itâs quieter upstairs.â he thought.
jake gripped the railing of the stairs in the middle of the hallway and slowly made his way up the stairs.
he felt a little relief when he reached the top of the steps. the music was in fact quieter upstairs. now jake could only really feel the base of the music under his feet. he took a deep breath hoping to clear the fog from his brain, but all it did was make him feel dizzy.
âok maybe I overdid it with the hennessy.â he groaned to himself.
jake thought that maybe some cold water would help him out a bit so he set out to find a bathroom.
he walked down the hallway knocking on every door he came across, hoping that one of them would be the bathroom. he mustâve been doing this forever and still couldnât find one. all he did find were couples doing less than decent things in rooms that didnât belong to them.
with one more room left to check in the hallway jake decided that if that room wasnât the bathroom he would just jump into the pool in the backyard of the house.
jake knocked on the door and pushed it open. to his dismay, the room was just another bedroom, but the people in it caught his attention. the lights in the room were dim but jake could make out the familiar face of y/nâs boyfriend baekhyun. he was half naked under a girl that jake recognized from around campus. a girl that wasnât y/n. baekhyun looked at jake with a smug glint in his eyes before focusing on the girl he was with.
jake could feel the anger bubbling inside him but he knew better than to engage. if he did he wouldnât be able to stop himself from doing something stupid.
jake turned on his heel and raced down the stairs and out of the house as quickly as possible. he made it out of the door and just stood on the front lawn with his hands clenched tightly into fists. his mind is going a mile a minute.
âwhat the hell is wrong with him?â he thought.
âhow could he do this to y/n?â
jakeâs blood boiled at the thought of how y/n would feel when she found out. she didnât deserve this. she deserves to be with someone who cared about her, not some asshole that cheated on her at frat parties.
âhey jake, do me a favor and keep this between us!â baekhyun slurred as he stumbled out of the front door. his button-up shirt was wide open and hanging off of his shoulders.
jake snapped his head towards baekhyun and turned to face him.
âyou want me? to do you a favor?â jake asked in disgust. âafter what you just did in there? after what u just did to y/n? u must have lost your fucking mind.â he spat.
baekhyun rolled his eyes and chuckled.
âaw look at you, defending her honor. itâs cute but i know you just want to get me out of the way so you can get in her pants. am I right?â baekhyun taunted.
jake clenched his jaw and took a step closer to baekhyun. âwhat the fuck did you just say?â
a crowd had started to form around the two of them, watching intently to see what would happen next.
âoh come on itâs no secret that youâre into her. iâve seen the way you look at her. but itâs cool, iâm sure sheâll let you hit if you ask nicely.â he smirked. âsheâs the biggest slu-â
jakeâs fist collided with baekhyunâs jaw causing him to stagger backward in pain.
âoh itâs on.â baekhyun growled before tackling jake to the ground and punching him in the face.
the crowd started chanting âfight! fight! fight!â as the two boys tussled with each other.
jake pushed him off and punched baekhyun in the nose, hard. he felt the warmth of blood on his fist but he didnât care enough to stop.
jake punched him again.
and again.
and again. even when the sound of sirens fell on his ears, jake didnât let up.
âAYE! BREAK IT UP!â a police officer called from the street. jake ignored it and punched baekhyun again. it wasnât until the officer pulled him off and wrestled him to the ground that jake finally stopped beating on baekhyun.
âalright shows over! everyone clear out!â the officer called to the crowd as he wrapped handcuffs around jakeâs wrists. another police officer pulled baekhyun up off the ground and the two of them were led toward the police cruiser.
as jake was pushed into the back seat of the car all he could focus on were the handcuffs digging into his wrists and the ache in his right hand. only now did he realize that he probably shouldâve just stayed in that damn living room.

From @gordonthegreatesttracy
From @gordonthegreatesttracy to Thunderfam
THE BACKFIRING CHRISTMAS PRANK
âItâs Christmas time
Alanâs on the wine
Scottyâs singing Frog on the Tyne
Thereâs logs on the fire
Johnnyâs up the tree
Time to rejoice in the good that is me!â
âI swear his songs get worse every yearâ John says to the Mechanic with an eye roll, as he hangs a bauble on the top of the tree.
It is the day after Thanksgiving, and there is a twelve-foot Christmas tree in the lounge surrounded by boxes and boxes of decorations, John is up on the ladder on one side of the tree carefully placing baubles and tinsel and lights on the bright green branches, which the Mechanic is handing up to him.
âHe does this every year?â The mechanic asks amused.
This is his first Christmas with the Tracys, having accepted Grandmaâs invitation and come over to the Island to help decorate the villa.
âYes he does, a few years ago it was Scotty Claus, drove Scott crazy then he gave him a music box that sung that song! I think he still has it somewhereâ John replies.
âSo it is a family tradition?â the Mechanic asks.
âYEP!â Gordon calls from his spot, hanging upside down from the railings above the seating area, while he wraps purple tinsel around the metal rails.
âBe careful up thereâ Scott calls over him. âI have tried to get rid of that box for years, I even put it in the old incinerator and it still turned up in its spot less than an hour later without a scratch, either Gordon made a million of them, or its cursed!â
John has taken on a supervisor role with Virgil and Jeff. The three of them are sitting on the sofa drinking coffee straight from the pot.
Jeff still canât believe that he is home. And he is going to make sure that this is the greatest Christmas the boys have ever had, starting today, a whole month of celebrating. The Hood is in jail, the Chaos crew are too, the world is safe. The atmosphere is happy and relaxed as he rests his head against the back of the chair, this really is going to be the best Christmas ever!
*TB*
The month between Thanksgiving and Christmas flies by in a whirlwind of rescues, gift buying and wrapping, cake making, cookie baking fun and Alan wakes up on Christmas morning full of excitement. It is still dark outside as he pulls open his curtains and looks out at the jungle. This is going to be the best day ever! His father is home, and he has checked out the presents under the tree and there are hundreds with his name on!
Alan maybe a high school graduate with his own rocket ship, but he is still a child when it comes to Christmas! He jumps up from his favourite sleeping spot, and runs out the room, still in his pyjamas, down the hallway, stopping to bang on every door on the way, down the stairs and into the lounge, where even more gifts are now piled high!
âJACKPOTâ he cries happily, wanting to dive right in, but something stops him and he is dragged away from his gifts by his eldest brother!
âScotty!â He whines as he is pulled away.
âWhat are the rules?â Scott asks trying not to laugh.
âWait for everyone to get here, eat breakfast, open gifts and have a wrapping paper ball fight with Gordonâ Alan replies, poking his tongue out and trying to wriggle free so that he can get back to the gifts.
Scott doesnât let go, picking Alan up and hoisting him over his shoulder he carries him down into the kitchen and deposits him on a chair.
âIf you try and get back to the tree I am going to tie you to the chair!â Scott warns him, raising a wooden spoon in a semi-threatening manner.
âWow, you look just like Grandma!â Alan tells him in awe, but the threat has the desired effect and Alan remains put!
Scott starts to make up pancake batter, letting Alan lick the bowl clean once he is done and then they carry the large stack of pancakes up to the lounge, where everyone is now awake and waiting for them.
The pancakes donât last long and Alan soon has his attention turned back to the tree and those gifts, looking at Scott with large pleading eyes.
âOh go on then!â Scott finally gives in and Alan dives for the tree.
He spots a gift with his name on, that the label says that it is from Gordon, and he should open it at his own risk!
He picks it up from the floor, and it explodes in a shower of liquid glittery gloop which goes all over him, and the tree, and the remaining presents.
Everyone apart from Alan are laughing, until the liquid gets into the lights, and there is a small explosion as the villa is plunged into darkness as the electric shorts.
âGORDON!â Alan screams, jumping to his feet and running to his brother. He is going to kill him!
âNot my fault, the warning label was on the giftâ Gordon replies with a shrug.
Everyone is busy watching them argue, and they donât notice the small smouldering fire that is starting to gain momentum at the bottom of the tree until it is too late.
Bright orange flames shoot up the tree, melting the plastic branches and consuming all the gifts in its bid to destroy Alanâs perfect Christmas, while they stand in shock. This is the worst thing Gordon has ever done!
Jeff puts the fire out with the fire extinguisher, but the damage is done. The gifts are gone, burnt and destroyed by the foam from the extinguisher and he turns to his fourth son in disgust. Gordon is an adult, but still pulling ridiculously childish pranks like this, and this time he has gone too far. Forgetting that he too laughed, he stands up to face Gordon, in the light from the torch he is carrying as it is still dark enough outside to need the lights on.
âYou ruin everything Gordon, will you ever learn? All I wanted was one nice day. Just one! I didnât ask you for a miracle, although maybe I did, as you donât have the ability to actually behave, right now, you are making me wish that I had stayed in the Oort Cloud so I didnât have to deal with you!â Jeff lectures.
Gordon is fighting back tears now. How could his father think that way? Does he really mean it? Do they all hate him as much as his father does?
âHe is rightâ Scott adds. âYou need to grow up Gordon.â
Gordon doesnât need to hear any thing else as he runs from the room, upstairs to his room where he drags his suitcase out from the closet and starts to pack.
They donât deserve Gordon, so they are not getting him!
He throws his suitcase onto the floor of Thunderbird 4 and heâs off, never to be seen again.
There are still tears in his eyes, as he docks Thunderbird 4 on the mainland and starts to walk to the house his father bought on the beach years ago so that they had a base on land for emergencies.
The world is still and peaceful this early on Christmas morning, as he watches the sun rise above the glittering ocean. His glistening tears spill out over his cheeks, and he doesnât even see it coming a blinding pain in his back, as he falls to his knees before there is a sharp hit against his skull and he loses that last grasp of consciousness, his eyes firmly shut against the blur of the sun filled sky.
*TB*
âI canât not believe that he ruined Christmas. Dadâs first Chritmsas back, and this happens. I should have expected it. He never changes. Where did he go anyway?â John asks.
âUpstairsâ Virgil replies. âProbably sulkingâ
âThis is the worst Christmas everâ Alan adds, sitting on the floor, leaning up against one of the seats and staring morosely at the ruined gifts.
The silence that falls among the group is awkward as they wait for Brains and the Mechanic to fix the electric.
âI-I-I am sorry, Mr T-T-Tracy. We need to rewire the main b-b-boxâ Brains confirms.
âWe will need to go and get some stuff from the mainland; we will be a couple of hoursâ The Mechanic confirms.
âThis is the worst Christmas everâ Alan declares again. No electric means no Christmas dinner, and no food means he is going to be hungry. Gordon is the worst brother in the world, and Alan wants nothing else to do with him.
âCome on, why donât we go for a nice walk along the beach and watch the sun riseâ Jeff suggests, heading out towards the pool. âThen we will all go over to the mainland and get everything we need for the rewiring and some lunchâ.
âNothing better to doâ Alan says sulkily as they all walk out the lounge to take a walk in the early morning light.
âYou know, this isnât even the worst present Gordon has given someone!â Scott says with a face palm as they walk down the sandy stretch, Alan dipping his toes in the freezing water with a shudder.
âIt isnât?â he asks.
âNiblet?â Virgil asks, suddenly starting to laugh.
âNibletâ Scott confirms.
âWho is Niblet?â The mechanic asks, confused.
âWellâŠâ Jeff starts.
SPECIAL PRESENT FOR MOTHER
âHey Virgyâ Gordon says running into the house from the yard where he has been playing for the last hour. The last of the autumn sunshine is fading fast into what looks like the perfect night for star-gazing. Crispy cold and clear.
Virgil is sitting on the sofa watching a documentary about Picasso with John and Scott while their mom is upstairs giving Alan a bath, with the promise that Gordon will be next!
âYeah?â Virgil replies absent mindedly.
âYou know what else I want for Christmas?â he asks.
ïżœïżœYou mean the three sides of paper you have taped to the fridge is about to get even bigger?â John interrupts with a snort of laughter.
âYou do know that the meaning of Christmas has nothing to do with what gifts you want? It is about giving, not receiving.â His father asks having joined the conversation from the kitchen where he has been checking on dinner.
âDuh!â Gordon replies, rolling his eyes. âOf course I do. Christmas is all about the birth of Santa. Bart Simpson said so!â
âNot quite!â Jeff corrects him gently. âWhy donât we go upstairs and you can have that bath you need and I will tell you all about the true meaning of Christmas.â
âOkay!â Gordon replies happily, sticking his dirty hand in his fatherâs and drags him towards the promised bubble bath. Gordon loves the bath almost as much as he loves getting dirty.
âGordon! Youâre filthy!â Jeff groans.
âI know, isnât it great!â Gordon replies, running up the stairs and crashing into the bathroom where his baby brother is now in a clean sleepsuit, his head sleepily resting on his Mommaâs shoulder as she leaves the room.
âHe is all yours!â She confirms with a grin.
Gordon does not know, but they tossed a coin to see who gets to bath the water loving six-year-old and Jeff lost!
Gordon takes off his mud encrusted clothes and throws them on the floor, while Jeff adds the warm water to the tub and his chosen bubble bath, before Gordon dives in and splashes water everywhere.
Jeff lets him play âexplore the bottom of the bathtubâ for a few minutes before he remembers the conversation he promised him.
âGordon, the real meaning of Christmas is your family, and finding them that special gift that you know they will love. Something that you have put your heart and soul into either searching for or even making. My favourite gift last year was the painting that you all did for me, can you remember?â Jeff says.
âThe submarine full of fish playing the piano in space while watching top gun?â Gordon asks.
âThatâs the one!â Jeff tells him.
The painting is in a frame in the living room above the fire place, and every time he walks past it, it never fails to make him smile, no matter how hard a day he is having.
âThat was fun to do. Virgil let me paint the fishâ Gordon tells him.
He is now sitting crossed legged in the middle of the tub hanging on his fatherâs every word. There are soap bubbles in his hair, but he is at least now clean!
âSo what are you going to do this Christmas?â Jeff asks, hoping that his example worked.
âGet momma the most special present ever, she is going to be so happyâ Gordon replies.
âDo you need help?â Jeff asks, thinking that they can go shopping together.
âNope, I got this daddy!â Gordon confirms before he sinks back down below the surface of the water to rinse off his hair.
Jeff lets him play a while longer, before announcing that it is time for dinner and then bed.
He is anticipating a fight, and gets one as Gordon splashes him with warm soapy water and wriggles out of his grasp whenever he tries to grab him, giggling as he outsmarts his father over and over again, until Jeff plays the final card of his hand and pulls out the plug.
âDADDY!â Gordon wails in disgust.
âCome on!â Jeff tells him, helping him step out of the tub and into a clean, warm, fluffy towel and scrubbing him dry before he gets into his favourite finding nemo pyjamas and follows his father down the stairs for supper with his family.
He is still thinking about Christmas and what to get his momma an hour later as she puts him to bed.
âWhat do you want for Christmas Momma?â he asks sleepily as she settles him down with his cuddly squid and starts to read him a chapter from his current favourite book: The brave little fish.
âSomething from the heart, whatever you will love, I will loveâ Lucy replies, resting her chin on top of his head as she cuddles him.
An idea is starting to form in Gordonâs mind now. Something that he loves that Momma would love. Something super special and what is more special than her very own pet?
Lucy is not even half way through the chapter when his quiet little snores reach her ears and she quietly leaves the room, switching off the main light and leaving only his fish shaped nightlight for illumination.
*TB*
Operation Mommaâs special gift begins the following day at breakfast as he asks for extra strawberries on his cereal, which he hides in the pocket of his hoodie.
It is Sunday morning, and the sun is shining through the window. It is the perfect day to begin the search, and as soon as he is allowed he races for the small, wooded area behind the farm that he has been given permission to explore. He knows that he is not allowed to go past the end of the forked path, but he doesnât need to, he is sure that the perfect gift is around here somewhere, he has seen it recently.
It takes him an hour of patience, something even he knows he is not very good at, but eventually his persistence pays off and a fluffy tailed grey squirrel comes down from its drey to give him a sniff.
He has never sat this still in his life, and the squirrel feels warm as it explores the new arrival, sticking his nose into Gordonâs pocket and helping himself to a strawberry and running away with it, burying it a short way away, then coming back for another. And another. And another. Until all of the strawberries are gone.
Once the food is gone, so is the squirrel!
Gordon jumps to his feet and starts to run back to the house for more supplies. Knowing that he needs to sneak them out without anyone getting suspicious and ruining his plan.
He gets lucky on his supply run as there is no one in the kitchen as he empties the rest of strawberries into his pocket and runs back out to the woods.
Where the squirrel is waiting for him, and Is a lot bolder now as he climbs up onto Gordonâs shoulder and allows him to hand feed him the strawberries.
Gordon stays and watches his Mommaâs new pet all morning, only leaving when he starts to get hungry for his own lunch and goes back to the house.
There are ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch, which are a bit disappointing as there is nothing on the plate that the squirrel can eat. He doesnât even know what else he can feed the squirrel and he needs to find out without anyone getting suspicious.
âCan I go back out now?â he asks after he has finished eating.
âNo, we are going grocery shopping and then having dinner at Grandmaâsâ Lucy replies. âI need you to get changed into your good clothes!â
Gordon loves his grandma, but he has no idea why he has to get dressed up for it. His current outfit of torn jeans and a dirt-streaked hoodie is perfect for all occasions. Gordon also knows arguing with his Momma is not a good idea so does as he is told and goes up to his room to get changed.
His good shirt is hanging up on the back of the door and he pulls it on and does the buttons up. That with the plain black trousers and odd socks and he is done and goes back down stairs where his brothers are all dressed and ready to leave too.
âDaddy, can we get some bird seed?â Gordon asks, once he is strapped into his car seat in between Scott and Virgil in the back of car. Jeff is driving, with Lucy alongside and John and Alan are in the middle.
âSureâ Jeff replies, he loves feeding the birds in the garden.
âHow long do they take to grow into real birds?â John asks sarcastically.
âDo they do that?â Gordon asks in awe.
âNo! John stop it!â Lucy replies rolling her eyes. She has the job of stopping any fights from breaking out.
âCan we get food for other animals too? it is getting cold now and there isnât as much food in the winter for the deers and the skunks and the gooses and the beavers and the spiders and squirrels and the snakes and all of the animalsâ Gordon pleads, adding lots of animals to his list.
âI donât see why notâ Lucy replies. Looking up different food for the various creatures that live in their yard.
Gordon piles in the food for all of the animals the minute they get to the supermarket barely leaving room for anything else!
The food shopping for a family of seven takes over an hour and a half while Jeff finds himself vetoing items and refereeing fights, and starts to wonder why he didnât drop the kids off at his motherâs house before he went shopping!
Gordon gets everything he wants, and he canât wait to get home from school tomorrow afternoon so he can really get started on project squirrel. His father was right, the best thing about Christmas is getting other people presents, and he doesnât even want anything for himself.
*TB*
It is too late when they get back from Grandmaâs to go and feed the squirrel, so Gordon takes the bag of walnuts from the cupboard when no body is watching and hides it under his bed before he goes to sleep for the night.
School on Monday morning drags, and he finds his mind wandering from the lessons about reading and writing and all the other stuff his parents insist he will need one day, but he finds unbearably boring.
They are working on the spelling small words today, stuff that he already knows as he has John for an older brother! He doesnât need to sit here all day to learn how to spell cat. Everyone knows that it is K-A-T! Â
Mrs Jones is even older than his Grandma and has a moustache, but he knows better than to mention it, as he tries not to get into trouble for the same thing twice!
She is droning on about the correct way to spell words, and he is just drifting off for a well-earned nap when she raps her wooden ruler on the table so hard the building shakes.
âTracy, how do you spell dog?â She demands.
âD-O-G-Eâ Gordon replies, deliberately getting it wrong.
âWrong! That is not how I spell itâ Mrs Jones tells him.
âYeah well, you asked me how I spell it! My way is a lot more interesting.â Gordon replies.
âIt is not supposed to be interestingâ, Mrs Jones has no idea how this reprobate is related to John. John was a pleasure to teach.
âYouâre telling me. This is even more boring than it was last weekâ Gordon replies.
There is a suspenseful silence in the room as his classmates wait for Mrs Jones to explode and sent him to the principal again, and they are not disappointed!
Gordon is sentenced to no afternoon recess and a meeting with his Momma before he is allowed to go home.
âOh Gordon, not again!â She says in exasperation. He has been in the first grade for three weeks now, and this is the fourth time she has been asked for a meeting with the principal and she has no idea what to do with him!
âIt isnât my fault Mommaâ he insists.
âIt never is. You are grounded this evening. No going out when we get home, and no television. You are going to help me cook dinner and you are going to have an early nightâ Lucy tells him as they make the short walk home. John and Virgil taking Alan and letting her have Gordon all to herself.
Gordon needs to go out, he has a squirrel to feed!
âI am really sorry Momma, I wonât get into trouble ever again if I can go out when we get home.â Gordon gives her the biggest puppy-dog eyes he can managed as he looks up at her, full of repentance that even he isnât buying!
âYou promise?â she asks, trying not to laugh.
âI promiseâ Gordon insists.
âOkay thenâ Lucy relents, knowing that she is going to regret it as her fourth son doesnât know how to behave.
Gordon hugs her around the legs then runs to catch up with his brothers, ignoring Johnâs comment about him being the family screw up, skipping alongside them, promise already forgotten as all he is thinking about is feeding his squirrel.
He needs to think up a name, he canât just keep calling him the squirrel.
The squirrel is waiting for him when he gets to the woods, and Gordon obliges with the walnuts, watching with a smile on his face as the squirrel nibbles on the shell.
Which is how Gordon gives him his name. Niblet is the perfect name for his squirrel.
*TB*
As the weeks wear on, the weather gets steadily colder. There is frost on the ground in the mornings and an ever-increasing threat of snow, but Gordon bundles up every afternoon in a warm coat with scarf and gloves and goes to visit Niblet.
Niblet has started to follow him to the edge of the wood now, getting braver and more confident, just as Gordon wanted.
The mix of nuts and fresh fruits and vegetables have given his coat a healthy shine, as it thickens for the winter. Niblet is the most perfect gift ever and his Momma is going to love him as much as he does.
The beginning of December sees the first proper snow fall of the winter, and Gordon finds it hard to battle through the snow, his snow boots sinking into the snow with every step, but it is worth it as Niblet comes to meet him at the edge of the woods, running up his legs and onto his shoulder, sticking his nose into his ear in greeting which causes Gordon to giggle.
âOh Niblet, you are so cute!â Gordon tells him, stroking him along the spine with his gloved hand.
Today is the day Niblet decides that he is going to see where the bringer of treats lives, and he stealthily follows Gordon home, stopping when he sees the house, as he is unsure what the big building is, and does not want to risk getting trapped, and goes back to his tree for the evening as it is starting to get dark and even more chilly, and he shudders with the cold as he wraps his tail around his nose and settles down for the night in his warm and cosy drey.
The month passes excruciatingly slowly for Gordon, as he wakes up every morning and it is still not Christmas Day yet. Every morning he wakes up, eats breakfast, struggles through another boring day with the delightful Mrs Jones. The only bright spots in his day are rehearsals for the class play, in which he is the star, and going to feed Niblet once he is home, even though the dark is falling ever earlier and he has less time before Momma makes him come inside.
Until the magical day his Momma announces that it is the final day before the holidays and he is free for three weeks!
The first day of the holiday he is up before the sun, and out the house before anyone else is even awake, as he needs to start moving Niblet into the house, and getting him ready for the big day.
Niblet now trusts him completely, and allows Gordon to carry him back to the house and into his bedroom which he explores in interest. This is definitely warmer than his tree, and he curls up on Gordonâs pillow for a nap.
Keeping Niblet a secret is easy, as every time someone knocks on Gurdonâs bedroom door, he scarpers for the safety of the closet, only coming back out when Gordon gives him the signal that it is all clear.
Niblet spends the nights asleep at the bottom of Gordonâs bed, and his days exploring the room, rapping his claws on the window when he needs to go out, and he is never out for long. Preferring his new drey to the tree in the woods!
Niblet is the perfect present, and Gordon canât wait until the morning to give him to his Momma. Daddy was right, getting people gifts is even more fun than getting them himself.
It is Christmas Eve and Gordon finds Virgil sitting on the floor of his bedroom wrapping gifts.
âHey Virg!â he says, letting himself into the room and plopping down on the rug.
âYesâ Virgil replies smiling. âHow can I help you?â
âCan I borrow some of your art stuff?â he asks, not bothering with small talk.
âWhat for?â Virgil asks.
âChristmas decorationsâ Gordon replies.
âYeah sure. Take whatever you needâ Virgil tells him. âThere is a box full in the bottom of the closetâ.
âThanks Virgâ Gordon replies, jumping to his feet, diving into the closet and running from the room in one fluid motion, almost so quickly Virgil doesnât even realise that he is gone!
Gordon returns to his own room where there is a plain cardboard box he found in the barn that he is going to decorate with pictures of squirrels, leaves, trees, nuts and strawberries. All of Nibletâs favourite things. He lines the box with Nibletâs favourite blanket so that he will not be too scared in the box in the morning and he is ready. His momma is going to get the most special present ever!
*TB*
There is more snowfall overnight and they wake to the white Christmas of Gordonâs dreams, and he canât wait to get out there after breakfast to go sledding on the new sled that he asked Santa for! He leaps out of bed, startling Niblet who gives him a filthy look and goes back to sleep, and goes over to the window, where he throws open the curtains to find out the world turned white overnight.
âLook Niblet, isnât it pretty!â He says to the still sleepy squirrel. âIt is time to go in the box now and meet the rest of your family. They are going to love you as much as I do, trust meâ.
Gordon places Niblet in the box and carefully places the lid on top before carrying him into his momma and daddyâs bedroom.
âMERRY CHRISTMAS MOMMA AND DADDY!â Gordon cries, jumping onto the bed.
Jeff grumbles something about Lucyâs children under his breath, but doesnât wake up.
âDaddy! Come on, itâs Christmas and I got Momma a present, just like you said. Hereâ he says to Lucy shoving the box into her arms.
Half asleep still Lucy is smiling when she takes the lid off the box and a startled Niblet leaps straight out and up the curtains where he sits on top of the curtain rail glaring at the new people.
âWhat on Earth?â GORDON!â Jeff yells.Â
âYou scared himâ Gordon accuses his parents, looking up at Niblet with concern.
âWhat is that thing?â Jeff asks, giving his fourth son a facepalm in exasperation.
A hurt look flashes across Gordonâs face. That thing?
âMommaâs present.â Gordon replies. âHis name is Niblet and he lives in my roomâ.
âItâs a squirrel, Jeffâ Replies Lucy at the same time.
âTake it back where you got it from. You can not keep a squirrel, Gordon.â Jeff tells him.
âHe isnât for me, heâs for Mommaâ Gordon replies defiantly, refusing to give in easily.
âThis is not up for discussion, you are not keeping the squirrel and that is final, now get it out of here before I get really angryâ Jeff demands, his voice starting to show that impatience Gordon has come to associate with him getting sent to bed early!
Gordon flees the room, running down the stairs and out the door into the quickly forming blizzard. He stomps his way over to the barn and climbs up onto the roof, and sits down, drawing his knees up around his knees and starts to cry. The barn has a hayloft with a hatch in the roof, put in for John years ago so that he can climb up there in the summer and star-gaze.
He only wanted to do something nice for his Momma, just like he promised his Daddy he would, and he has ruined everything. Again. He is a screw up, just like John said so. He canât do anything right.
*TB*
âA squirrel? What did you tell him?â Lucy asks, trying hard, and failing, not to laugh.
âGifts come from the heart and that he should get people gifts that he has put a lot of thought and effort into.â Jeff replies. Now that the shock of having a wild animal dumped on him in what feels like the middle of the night is wearing off, Jeff canât help it. He starts to laugh too.
âWhat did he say he named it?â Jeff asks.
âNibletâ Lucy replies.
Niblet is still sitting on the curtain rail glaring at them.
Jeff gets up and opens the window. âGo get him Nibletâ he says to the squirrel as the animal jumps down from the rail and out the window, over to the barn and up onto the roof where he climbs up onto Gordonâs shoulder, while Lucy gets out of bed and starts to get dressed so that she can face the blizzard and bring home her son.
Gordonâs tears are frozen to his eyelashes, and he is freezing. His whole body is shivering, as he is out there in a blizzard in his pyjamas, with no shoes on.
âCome on inside. Both of youâ Lucy says a few minutes later, having used the hatch in the roof to join him, and wrapping him up in her dressing gown. âYouâre freezingâ she tells him, as the three of them make their way back into the warmth of the barn.
âI Th-th-th-ought y-y-you would l-l-love himâ he wails, his head buried into her shoulder as he sobs his heart out.
Niblet is sitting on her shoulder now, and she canât deny that he is cute. She knows that he canât stay though, as he is a wild animal, and would hate living in the house, especially in the summer, but that is not a conversation for right now.
âI do love himâ she confirms, and she realises that it is true. âHe came from you, so you know that I will love him.â
Gordon finally gets what his father was saying. The best gifts come from the heart, and they leave the sanctuary of the barn and back to the main house so that Gordon can introduce his squirrel to his brothers.
In the living room, Scott has started a fire, in the fireplace and Jeff is handing out a large bag of marshmallows for toasting as a breakfast treat. Virgil is sitting on the floor, with a drawing pad open in front of him and he is sketching out a design for a new project.
âWhat are you doing Virg?â Lucy asks, leaning over Jeff and grabbing a marshmallow, which Niblet tries to steal.
âNo, Niblet.â Gordon tells him, handing over a strawberry instead.
âDesigning a home for the squirrel. Dad said that we can build him his own tree house in the large oak tree in the yard that he can use in the summer, and a winter home too. Grandma said that we can get a cat flap put into the door so that he can come and go as he pleases. Lookâ Virgil replies, showing his initial design plans, which shows a large wooden box with a hole cut into it to use as a door.
The inside has a sketch of Gordon and Niblet for decoration, a large four poster bed, a bookcase, a climbing frame, a television, lights and a separate kitchen area with storage containers full of nuts and fruit.
âI donât think he needs a television Virg!â Lucy tells him. it is an impressive design, and she knows that the boys will have great fun making it with Jeff over the next few weeks, and that Niblet has gotten himself the best ever family.
THE MECHANIC SPENDS CHRISTMAS WITH INTERNATIONAL RESCUE.
âIs that a true story?â the mechanic asks chuckling.
âEvery word. Niblet lived with us for seven years until he died from old age. Gordon wasnât the only one who was devastated, we all were.â Scott replies.
They are heading back to the house, having been for a walk along the beach as the sun rises, promising another Perfect day in paradise, with cloudless sunshine with a light breeze. Perfect for a beach barbecue. Who even needs electricity?
âAlan, go and get Gordon. We are off to the mainland as a family to get replacement presents, and the stuff Brains needs to fix the electricâ Jeff demands, suddenly feeing a need to be with all of his children.
Alan is still angry, but does as he is told and jogs back to the house, where he finds Gordonâs room has been stripped bare, and that his brother has gone. Even Squid, Gordonâs battered old plushie toy has gone.
Alan runs back down the stairs and into straight into Virgil.
âS-S-Sorry Virg. Dad Gordonâs goneâ Alan says, panting.
âWhat do you mean heâs gone?â Jeff asks.
âGone. Everything is gone.â Alan replies.
âThunderbird 4 has gone tooâ Scott confirms. âJohn?â
John nods, opening up his comms unit and connecting to Thunderbird Five. âEos? I need you to track Gordon and Thunderbird Four for meâ he asks his sentient AI.
âSure thing John. Give me a minute. Okay got them. Thunderbird Four is at the house on the main landâ Eos confirms.
âThanks Eos. Come on, letâs go and get your wayward siblingâ Jeff replies resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
âYou can fly Virgilâ Scott says once they are settled in Thunderbird two.
âGee, my own ship, thanks Scottyâ Virgil replies, rehashing an old joke as they take the short hop from the island over to the house by the beach.
There is a small landing area at the rear of the house which is where the party of seven land.
Brains and the Mechanic leave the ship, and start to head in the direction of the hardware store, Jeff having arranged for the manager to let them in to collect everything that they need in exchange for a large tip for opening up on Christmas Day.
Jeff lets them into the house, which despite Eosâ claims that it is the location of his fourth son, the house is empty.
âGordon where are you?â Jeff asks out loud with a frown. Eos has never been wrong before.
He gets a scream as a response and runs for the sound of his terrified youngest son.
âALAN, WHAT IS IT?â Jeff yells, running through the front door, and up the path leading to the gate, where he finds Alan, Virgil, Scott and John bent over Gordonâs seemingly lifeless form. The small relief he found when he realised that Gordon is still breathing is extinguished faster than the fire on the island when he sees the blood. A slowly flowing river of sticky red liquid from his temple.
âWhat happened?â Jeff asks.
âI donât know.â Alan replies desperately, as Virgil is running a medscan. Scott and John are returning from Thunderbird Two with a stretcher.
Virgil gasps in shock when the results ping through onto his phone.
There is a bullet in Gordonâs back.
His little brother has been shot.
Someone shot his brother.
Why?
âWhat is it?â Jeff asks.
Virgil canât speak, he just shoves his phone at his father and points to the small metal ball lodged in Gordonâs back, near his spine.
âHe was attacked?â Jeff asks, scarcely able to believe what he is saying.
âWe have to get him homeâ Virgil says, lifting him up into his arms, and placing him on the waiting stretcher. âI will need to operateâ.
âYou canât. We have no electricity, remember?â John replies, his eyes have not left Gordonâs chest, as he watches it slowly rise and fall, silently praying to anyone who will listen that Gordon keeps breathing.
This stops Virgil in his tracks, but inly briefly. âHospital thenâ he says to John, as he starts to push the stretcher to the med bay in thunderbird two.
Scott doesnât bother making the joke, letting Virgil take the controls while he sits with Gordon, John, Alan and Jeff in the med bay, keeping a silent vigil. Lost in his own thoughts, and vowing to catch whoever did this, and make sure that their suffering is a hundred times worse than his.
The hospital is busy, but any visit by international rescue always parts the sea of people, leaving a clear path for Virgil to take Gordon, and now there is nothing left to do other than sit.
And wait.
The wait seems to be indefinite. Every minute feels like ten and Virgil canât sit still. The initial shock is starting to wear off, and now he is angry. There are a million questions fighting for space in his brain.
Why did Gordon leave?
Who did this to him?
Why did they do it to him?
Was he targeted, or was this a random attack?
He is pacing up and down the small private waiting room that the hospital provided. It is a plain room, with pale green walls, hard plastic chairs and a small table which is littered with cold half-drunk cups of coffee, and no one is talking.
This was supposed to be their best Christmas ever. They had their father back. The Hood was finally in a cage where he couldnât hurt anyone ever again. The mechanic was free from his control. Everything was perfect.
Until it wasnât.
Virgil is still pacing silently, when the door opens, and Lady Penelope walks in.
To the outside world she looks as perfectly put together as always, but Virigl knows his brotherâs girlfriend better than most. Her cool and calm persona is showing small signs of cracking. There is a hair out of place, and a small smudge of pink lip gloss by her upper lip, and her eyes are watery from where her mascara has run.
Brains and the mechanic are behind her, both carrying large bags of electrical equipment.
âHow is he Jeff?â Penelope asks, not bothering with any small talk. This is her fault. If she hadnât listened to Gordon, and cancelled her plans to spend Christmas with him, instead of that silly party her family organised, then he wouldnât have left the island without her. They would have been safe.
âI donât know?â Jeff replies, speaking for the first time since entering the room.
âIs there anything I can do?â she asks.
Jeff shakes his head sadly. There is nothing anyone can do other than wait. Waiting is the one thing none of them have ever been very good at.
âW-We could go b-b-back to the islandâ Brains suggests. âG-G-Get the electricity f-f-fixed for when you get h-h-homeâ.
Jeff nods, knowing the need to keep busy, almost wishing that he could go along and help, anything is better than this waiting.
âParker will take youâ Lady Penelope replies, offering up the services of her ever-loyal chauffeur.
With a nod of their heads the two men leave, and that small distraction which stopped Jeff having to think leaves with them and he starts to brood once more. He should never have said that he wished he had stayed in the Oort cloud. He pulls a photo wallet from his pocket where he keeps his family photos. All through his eight years in outer space this little piece of home is what kept him going.
The first photo is Lucy. As Jeff remembers her best. Smiling and happy, laughing at some joke one of the boys has just told her. Scott is next. His face serious as he poses for his first official rescue scouts uniform. His mini-me. Then Virgil, covered in paint sitting on top of the piano a paint bush behind one ear. The next page is John, lying on the top of the roof late at night watching the stars, which has always been his happy place. Then Gordon, his fish, about to cannon ball off the high diving board into the pool the first summer they spent on the island. Finally Alan. Fast asleep on the sofa with his gaming tablet on his chest. Looking at their childish innocence, Jeff determines to get justice for Gordon, no matter what the cost is.
*TB*
âWhat happened?â Jeff asks.
It is nearly morning, Jeffâs perfect Christmas is almost over, and it has been nothing like what he had planned, but he is just grateful that Gordon is going to make a full recovery.
âI donât knowâ Gordon replies, trying hard not to cry. âIâm sorry. You were right, I ruin everythingâ.
âNo, I am sorry. You know I never meant any of that. Almost everything we lost can be replaced, apart from you. You are my unique, talented, crazy, funny Squid, and I wouldnât have you any other way.â Jeff replies, he has his hand clasped around Gordonâs and he ever wants to let it go.
âWhen can I go home?â Gordon asks.
âTomorrow, but the doctors have ordered that you stay in bed and rest for at least ten days, and that you remain off duty for a month. Which will be enforced by both Virgil, myself, Penny and Grandma so there is no way you can even think about sneaking out. But just think, it gives you enough time to organise replacement presents for everyone!â Jeff replies with a grin. âNo wild animals!â
âReally? It is about time the villa got a pet!â Gordon replies with a grin of his own.
One that makes Jeffâs heart soar. That one smile that means that everything is going to be okay. âNO!â Get some rest. I will be here to take you home in the morning.â Jeff tells him, leaving him to get some sleep.
Gordon stretches and yawns, the morphine drip in his arm doing its job as he drifts off into a deep and dreamless sleep.
*TB*
Back on the island it is chaos. Brains and the Mechanic have gotten the electricity back up and running and are busy putting together a new inflammable tree! With Alanâs âhelpâ.
Alan is covered in lights and tinsel. He is wearing baubles for earrings and he has been climbing up and down the ladder all day under the watch full eyes of the Mechanic and Brains.
âAre you sure this one wonât catch fire?â Alan asks.
âP-Positive. Almostâ Brains replies.
âAlmost?â Alan squeaks.
âNinety-nine percentâ Brains reassures him.
Alan nearly falls off the ladder heâs laughing so hard. He never knew that the mechanic had such a brilliant sense of humour, as they started out trying to stop him from destroying their entire family. He never thought the day he first came across him, that day with the earth-breaking machine, that one day he would be helping him decorate a Christmas tree.
Alanâs lights are battery operated, and he lights them up, while he is sitting on the top of the ladder. âMaybe I should stay here and be the other tree!â He suggests.
âThatâs not a bad ideaâ Scott replies, having come up from the hangars carrying a bag full of freshly wrapped presents for the new tree.
âOoh presents!â Alan declares, leaping from the top of the ladder onto the floor, and landing lightly on his feet. âgimme gimme gimme!â he says reaching out for the bag as Scott lightly slaps his hands away.
âNo, these are not to be opened until everyone is homeâ Scott replies. âI have counted them, and if any are missing when I check later then I will let Gordon prank you again as long as he promises not to set the house on fire again you will be fair game!â
Alan knows that this is not an empty threat and he laughs before climbing back up the ladder.
âYeah thatâs better, stay up there!â Scott tells him before he retreats back down to the hangars.
*TB*
By the following morning, when Jeff returns with Gordon the house has been transformed. The mechanic has rigged up a contraption for indoor snow, and it is snowing lightly in the lounge. Covering the over decorated tree in a smattering of white flakes.
âDo I have to stay in bed?â Gordon asks.
âWhat did the doctor say?â Jeff asks amused.
âYesâ Gordon replies.
âSo what do you think?â Virgil asks, also amused.
âNo!â Gordon replies. âI am not tired, and it only hurts when I talk, move or breathe. Iâm fine!â he insists.
âOkay, you can stay up for a bitâ Jeff tells him, helping him into one of the chairs, watching him carefully as he grasps the arm of the chair trying to hide the sharp pains in his back, he wants to help but its time Gordon learned his own lessons from his own mistakes. Besides if he does bust his stitches Virgil can sew him back up again!
âWhen are we doing presents?â Alan asks. He has been trying hard to resist the ever-growing pile under the tree, which is now even bigger than the original pile as Lady Penelope has been adding her own in.
âAfter lunch, which Grandma has been cooking for the last forty-eight hours, so should be suitably cremated by nowâ Jeff replies with an evil grin, one that is usually found on Gordonâs face.
Alan is starting to doubt that he will ever get Christmas presents this year as it is now the day before New Years, any minute now his father will announce that he has to wait until his birthday for them! That is if Grandma hasnât poisoned them all by then.
âDinner is readyâ Grandma announces, coming up from the kitchen an hour and a half later.
Gordon is asleep, using Virgil as a pillow. Alan is still sitting by the presents, which Scott sits next to him so that he doesnât try and run away with them. John is sitting by Jeffâs desk with Jeff as they read through a report from the GDF regarding the rebuilding of the Hex prison to keep the Hood in, as far away from society they can get without banishing him to the Oort Cloud.
âCome on Squid, you need to eat to regain your strengthâ Virgil says, gently nudging him awake, and helping him down to the kitchen.
The main table has been set for eleven, with a small card on each plate with names on so that they know where to sit.
There is a silk table cloth which has been hand painted with little Christmas decorations. Lady Penelope has bought Christmas crackers over from England, and in no time at all everyone is wearing a paper hat and telling terrible jokes.
Alanâs favourite is:
What athlete is warmest during winter?
A long jumper.
Gordonâs is:
Who delivers presents to sharks at Christmas?
Santa Jaws.
Jeffâs is something that he wishes was a thing in real life!
What's a parent's favourite Christmas carol?
Silent Night!
Virgilâs is:
Who is Santaâs favourite singer?
Elf-is Presley
John tries not to find any of the jokes funny and sits in stoic silence, but even he starts to laugh at how bad the jokes are.
Which Christmas carol is about an animal with three legs?
Little Wonkey
Even though thatâs not how you spell wonky, it still makes him laugh.
Scottâs is:
What do you get if you eat Christmas decorations?
Tinselitis.
Well he has spent most of his life trying to stop Alan from doing just that!
Once everyone has stopped telling jokes, Grandma brings out a large silver covered dish, and everyone takes a deep breath to prepare themselves for what is about to be unveiled. Grandma Tracy is a notoriously bad cook, so why she keeps doing it, nobody knows!
Jeff tentatively takes the lid off to reveal the charred remnants of the old tree.
âWell, it was already cooked so I thought I would save a lot of time and effort and just reheat it. Plastic is good for youâ Grandma insists.
âMom?â Jeff says, raising one eyebrow, and looking over at his mother. Surely she canât be serious.
âMrs Tracy?â the mechanic adds. He is laughing. This has been the most unconventional Christmas he has ever been a part off. Nothing that they spent months carefully planning worked out how they were expecting. So why try for a traditional Christmas dinner?
âOkay fine! Come with me, all of you?â Grandma replies starting up the stairs to the lounge and out the main doors by the pool.
Where a second equally beautifully laid table is waiting for them, this one has eleven plates of perfectly cooked food. All of their favourites. The table is straining with the weight of the nut roast, potatoes, carrots, peas, parsnips, broccoli, and boats of steaming gravy. There are several bottles of wine in ice buckets around the table, and in the middle is the centre piece the boys made years ago their last Christmas they had their mom for. Before that they made a new one every year, but once they lost her, it never felt right to keep on making a new one, knowing that she would never be able to see them. Â
âWhen did you do this?â Gordon asks in awe.
âI didnâtâ Grandma replies.
âI didâ The mechanic replies. âI wanted to give something back to you all. You saved my life and helped me find a purpose. A real purpose. Because of you I am finally freeâ
âIt looks to good to eatâ Lady Penelope says with a smile.
âSpeak for yourself, Iâm starving!â Alan replies, picking up a potato with his fingers and shoving it whole into his mouth. âArgh! Hot! Hot! Hot!â he gags, trying to swallow the potato while he downs a small glass of wine.
âI am sorry, he is a work in progress!â Scott replies, kicking him under the table. Alanâs only reply is to poke his tongue out at Scott, but he does pick up his knife and fork and start to eat properly.
Eleven people make short work of the food and there is very little left over. Jeff can feel the buckle of his belt straining against his stomach, as he pats it appreciatively.
âThis has been the weirdest ever Christmas, but I liked itâ Virgil says, leaning back in his chair and letting the early afternoon sun warm his face.
They know soon that their vacation will be over, and that they will have back-to-back rescues once more and moments like this will feel like a distant memory.
âIs it really?â John replies. âGordon caused chaos, and got hurt. Seems like a normal day in the life of international rescue to me!â
âHey! I donât always cause chaos!â Gordon replies indignantly.
âThatâs true. Sometimes heâs asleepâ Scott confirms.
Gordon throws a left-over roast potato at Scott, which misses and hits his father.
âOh you are such a dead squid!â Jeff tells him with a malicious grin on his face, as he picks up his spoon and piles on left-over peas and launches them at Gordon.
âFOOD FIGHT!â Alan yells in delight.
In less than a minute, everyone is covered in food, and everyone is laughing. Lady Penelope and Gordon have teamed up with Virgil, Scott, the mechanic and Parker and are launching an attack on Alan, John and Jeff, Grandma and Brains.
Once all the remaining food has been consumed Virgil picks Alan up and dumps him in the pool. âTime for a bath Allieâ He says with a grin.
âUgh Virgil!â Alan splutters coming up for air.
Gordon, despite the pool ban by his doctor dives straight in after Alan, ignoring the pain and gently swimming a few laps.
âCome on in, the waterâs lovely and warmâ he insists.
So they do. All fully dressed. They jump in and join Alan and Gordon and the food fight becomes a water fight, until the sun starts to go down and the water gets chilly, then they retreat to the house for some clean, dry clothes.
Virgil and Grandma march Gordon to the infirmary to make sure that he has not caused any further damage to his back, and replace the soggy dressing with a new one and they gather once again in the living room.
âThis has been the best Christmas ever, and I didnât even open a single presentâ Alan announces.
The mechanic smiles. It has been his best ever Christmas too, and he hopes that they invite him next year too.
âOh thatâs good because the presents around the tree are empty boxesâ Scott tells him.
âThey are not, I checkedâ Alan replies.
âDid you now?â Jeff laughs.
âErm. Noâ Alan replies, sheepishly.
Jeff puts him out of his misery and finally lets him open his gifts!
*TB*
There is only one left now, a small gift box, addressed to the whole family from the mechanic.
Alan opens the box and removes a piece of blank paper and looks at it with confusion.
âOther side Alan!â Gordon tells him.
âOh thatâs better!â Alan reads the carefully composed words in silence before he reads them aloud.
âDuring the years I spent in the Hoodâs captivity, I never imagined that life could ever be this enjoyable. I finally feel like I have found a real family, and I love being a part of international rescue. I wanted to give something back, so I give you the gift that I have not given to anyone else. Hardly anyone knows this secret, but I bequeath it too you. I am going to tell you all my real nameâ.
âYou mean it isnât Mechanic?â Gordon interrupts.
âNo it isnât! Let me finishâ Alan replies.
âOkay!â Gordon says.
âMy real name isâŠâ
âHugh Jassâ Gordon guesses.
âGORDON!â Jeff warns.
âSorry, carry on Alanâ Gordon replies.
âMy real name isâŠâ
âChris P Baconâ
âGORDON!â Jeff warns again.
âThen tell him to stop pausing, he keeps lining it up, you canât blame me for guessing. I thought we were playing a gameâ Gordon replies, utterly unrepentant.
âAre you sure this is the one youâre in love with?â Grandma asks Lady Penelope.
Lady Penelope nods indulgently. This is the one she is in love with!
âMy real name is Paulâ Alan finally says. âI like itâ he says to the Mechanic.
âYeah, me tooâ Scott confirms.
Virgil nods and takes the Mechanicâs Christmas stocking down and takes a post it note from his fatherâs desk, writing Paul on the note, and covering up âmechanicâ.
âWelcome to the family Paulâ Jeff says, as they all stand up for a group hug.
This really has been the best Christmas ever.
And next year will be even bigger and even better, thinks Lady Penelope, holding onto her very own secret, gently patting her belly with a small smile.
