heyy , i love your account. i was wondering if you could help me out. i want to start taking care of my body more. i want softer skin and strong lingering scents to start wearing. can you list some items you recommend that will help me.
hi love! âĄ
thank you so much! im always here to help out so id be honored to! congrats on taking the steps to take care of yourself love! youve definitely asked the right person because i am OBSESSED with body and skincare and smelling good is one of my many joys of life and a compliment im told often!
me personally i like soft, clean, gentle, sweet, fruity smelling scents and i can venture off to gourmand or floral if the smell is right.
letâs get started! âĄ
it all starts down with the base of your shower routine, most of the time i prefer lighter smells but when it comes to body wash i venture off into different kinds a lot. ive noticed so far that dove and olay are the top body washes where the scent will be there when i get out the shower, and the lather is AMAZING.
these are some of my personal favorite body washes that will have you smelling amazing.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/46145310733647790d25fae9346fa5eb/87a694e6510827e8-f3/s540x810/223798688abc1cbe48d572834e0721c6aa05b694.jpg)
(the dove bar soaps are also really good! i havenât tried the olay ones yet.) these all smell soooo good i really recommended all of them and encourage you to go smell them all whenever you go out to see which ones are your faves.
now when it comes to exfoliating, if you suffer with body acne or any skin problem please check in with your doctor or dermatologist before using any product with exfoliating beads, or any abrasive like product. when i was young i didnât know that at the time the body washes i used with exfoliating beads was making my skin worse so now i have only certain times where i use exfoliating products in the shower.
i use both a loofah and wash cloth to clean my body and a separate wash cloth for my privates, then i have a exfoliating brush i got from tjmax for like 3 or 4 dollars that i use to exfoliate my body.
(this is not the exact brand but just to give you an idea it looks similar to this, itâs a wet and dry brush. you can also brush your body before you shower too but i usually just do mine in the shower.)
this part with the brush is what makes my skin soooo soft and even shiny especially after shaving (make sure to exfoliate your skin before you shave if you do!) and i pay extra attention with my feet on this part when im showering.
now when im using exfoliating products, i definitely use the tree-hut ones.

![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/01bd68766865262793cb7422395611f2/87a694e6510827e8-6b/s500x750/196acf82c4587991b08e4175c2cd9e37fb6189ff.jpg)
the tahitan vanilla bean was the first one i ever got and fell in love with it, to me itâs a very unisex product i can picture a boy and girl wearing it just because it has a nice musk scent that pairs beautifully with the vanilla smell. and the strawberry one smells sooooo good smells like a strawberry lollipop to me.
now onto lotions and perfumes!
the sol de janeiro line is out of this world to me and one of my favorite signature scents i can never get tired of it, itâs such a warm, cozy, delicious, sexy, cute scent! hands down one of my favorite things to put on. buuut a similar dupe to this lotion because it can get pricey is the tropic glow body butter by tree hut, the scent is not as strong in my opinion but itâs a similar smell to the bum bum cream and smells yummy. and i am a bath and body works junkie, if you layer their products right they will last a good amount. also make sure to apply lotion right after you get out of the shower, create that into a habit and watch your skin thank you in return by making your skin soft. here are some of my faves and the lotions i recommended:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5877eb52dda41a5427f8f42d72717bcb/87a694e6510827e8-d7/s540x810/b8aee8c15c2cd6d098ec27a340056ef533079fb7.jpg)
for perfumes, body mists and perfume oil:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/cc0f4829dbba18305729cea70b8483e9/87a694e6510827e8-5b/s540x810/0b0f7b8adae30f8d94eaa79d63981b7f7fb04420.jpg)
im obsessed with all of these, also warm vanilla sugar from bath and body works, vanilla is just a very comforting scent for me. the brazilian crush and white pumpkin & chai match the lotions, and the bonbon perfume by viktor and rolf is also a sweet scent and me personally i like the way it settles into my skin the other notes come out and it smells so sweet and inviting. if you REALLY want to smell good add a perfume oil before you spray your perfume or body mist! i really like this one i got it from amazon and i believe itâs sold in whole foods as well! you can apply these perfumes, body mists and perfume oils where you feel comfortable with but make sure you apply them on your pulsating points which would be behind your ears, neck, shoulders, mid-riff, wrists, backside of your elbows, behind the knees, behind the calves, and behind the ankles this is where your body produces heat the most so the scent will linger longer. i also recommend to just go out and smell perfumes and explore different kinds since everyone has different body chemistryâs and you might find a scent that you reallllly love!
and there you have it i hope this helped! since im always trying out new products i will probably make posts in the future updating on products i love and recommend! stay beautiful! <3

Latibule
Pairing: Sakusa Kiyoomi x Fem!Reader
Warnings: mentions of anxiety, panic attacks & hypochondria, adult language, eventual SMUT
Words:Â 9790
His usual spot at the cafe is taken, and heâs already decided to keep walking on, but somehow, somehow, he manages to catch your eye.
His feet are slowing, a stuttering breath stagnating in his lungs, all at once hopeful and bewildered, but before he can examine his fluttering emotions, youâre alongside him on the noisy sidewalk, passing him his usual evening drink, a pleased smile on your soft lips.
Suddenly, the world smells like velvety pine and heady bergamot, and he canât stop staring down at you.
Notes: hi. this is my first real foray into the world of Haikyuu!! & iâm so excited to branch into this fandom! if this is your first time reading my stuff imma warn you, i take things slow, so expect some slow burn.Â
this will be a multi-chapter fic with eventual NSFW/18+ only content. i will post warnings for each update. iâll also link other chapters on this page and any other pages that come up, so keep in mind that there will be edits to links as things progress - i wasnât planning on this being anything more than a one-shot, but this first exploration of Sakusaâs character turned into a monster & i wanna really hone in on that sweet, sweet build up.Â
big, huge shoutout to @wickedfaerytale & @albinoburritoâ for their edits and suggestions. yâall are amazing and i love you both so much, this fic wouldnât be what it is without the two of you.Â
Latibule /lat-i-bule/ noun a hiding place; a place of safety and comfortÂ
pt. i: an openingÂ
[ pt. ii: four set ] ||
Itâs a quiet coffee shop.Â
He likes that about it. He likes it almost as much as the simple fact that he can tell what day of the week it is by the smell of the disinfectant and bleach thatâs being used behind the counter.Â
Thereâs a strange comfort to this placeâs consistency and Kiyoomi Sakusa likes to linger here, propping his MSBY issued volleyball bag beside his usual table. Heâs already placed his coffee order with the cheerful man who guards the cash register, watching as his paper cup is marked with a fresh sharpie and placed on the bartop, beside the elbow of that barista who always attentively turns to wash her hands before making each new order.
He had stumbled upon the shop his senior year of college and heâs haunted it ever since, content to sip on a smooth cortado as he watches over the latest plays from the MSBY games, mapping out his overestimations, his successes, and his flukes in his notebookâ carefully lined kanji listing out what worked and what needs some extra practice. The caramel sweet flavor of the ristretto shots always helps to relax him, his broad shoulders lowering, the ache of self-induced tension and overworked muscles easing as his drink cools between his fingers, finally sinking fully into the plush leather seat of his clean chair.
The young woman, he should know your name, but heâs never caught a proper glimpse of your name tag, because youâre always moving, gives him a familiar lifting of smooth lips and places his completed drink on the handoff plane. You know his personal preferences well enough that youâre already moving the caddy of lids and cardboard sleeves forward, so he can select his own from the neatly stacked row. He gives you a cursory nod and his calloused fingertips pull the frothy beverage into his hands, cupping the curved sides and taking a deep drag of air through his masked nose, inhaling the bright smell of fresh coffee. Â
AndâŚvinesâŚor is it a tangy pine?Â
Thereâs something else thatâs tickling his senses, and he blinks toward you, dark brows knitting together, a misplaced curl of inky hair brushing against his forehead, trying to make sense of the smell. His chin lifts and his head tilts, eyes watching your polished movements as you move onto the next drink in line. Itâs definitely got some floral notes, but itâs not cloyingly sweet, like honeysuckle or gooseberryâno, itâs got some kind of balmy spice to it. It returns when you move closer and he swears he can taste summer when you shift back.Â
Odd.Â
When you look up at him again, heâs already stepping away, his running shoes squeaking across the slate tiles, making his way back to his bag and table. The aroma of your perfume is half forgotten when he cracks his laptop open, squirting some hand sanitizer across his chapped palms before he starts to clack his fingertips across the dark keys. He needs to get more lotion; he thinks as the sterile solution cools between his splayed fingers, this weather always dries his skin out.
The next time he comes in he spies you at the back of the shop, jotting something down in a large binder before kneeling behind the counter, returning with a sparkling, grated drain top. The white gleams under the accented lighting and he watches as you thumb at the paint, denoting a splotch of rust that rests under the dip of the metal. You return the cover to the ground and immediately twist to the hand washing sink that rests behind the bar, lathering up some dispensed soap and methodically stroking from the tips of your fingers to your wrists. A steady puff of steam is rising around you as he places his orderâÂ
[ a oat milk smoothie, with an extra scoop of protein powder, chia seeds, turmeric, kale, cucumber, dash of dates for sweetener ]Â
and by the time heâs paid and padding toward his usual spot, youâre finishing up, yanking a few disposable paper towels from the overhead dispenser and gingerly drying your damp hands.Â
Heâs seen you wash your hands plenty of times before, but he finds himself distractedly following your movements this afternoon as he waits for his order and his computer to finish booting up. You catch his obsidian eyes when you turn around and give him a brief smile; a flash of teeth peeking through your lips before you move back to your binder. You jot down a few more notes as you move onto the fridges that sit under the countertops, pulling and prying at the gaskets that line the doors of the whirring chillers, speaking softly to a fellow employee, pointing out the missed stains and chipped flecks of ice that like to hide within the folds of the protective plastic.Â
Youâre not overbearing in your coaching, keeping your tone even and friendly, focusing on what can be done going forward, rather than lingering on the âwhat ifâsâ and âwhy wasnâtâ of the situation.
Practical, efficient, thorough with your work, and careful with your craft.Â
Those descriptors float to the forefront of his mind as he takes his smoothie from the barista thatâs standing beside you. He lets his gaze hold against your half leaning form, watching the lead tip of your pencil mark over the stark red checklist that youâre working your way down.Â
Heâs not sure why heâs so focused on you. Heâs never thought much about you. Youâve been someone that exists in the background, part of his routine to be sure, but he justifies that your attention to detail is likely the reason why he prefers this shop to the dozens of other coffee houses that litter the main street by the MSBY training facilities and stadium. Your head shifts, and he can tell you can feel his gaze, so he swiftly plucks up his icy cold cup, his nose involuntarily trying to seek out that perfume youâd been wearing the other day.Â
Strange. His brow furrows, and he hunches into his sports jacket, walking back to his chair and his glowing computer. He canât smell it today. Maybe youâre too far away, or perhaps youâd forgotten to put it on before coming in.
Pity. Heâd liked it.
âRunning a little late today, I see,â your voice snaps him out of his stupor, onyx eyes lifting to rest against your open expression.Â
âKind of,â he replies blandly, his deep cadence muffled by the pull of his mask.
âDamn, I donât think Iâve ever seen you be late! Want me to push your drink to the front of the queue? Iâve got the power to do that, you know,â you tease, tilting your head as a mischievous grin settles over your quirked lips. Kiyoomi blinks impassively down at you and shakes his head. How would he even reply to something like that? You were joking, right? You must be. And if you werenât, the people who are clustered around the handoff plane would certainly realize that he was being given his drink first, clearly ahead of all of theirs, and theyâd probably toss him a few disgruntled stares or mouthy jabs, and likely accuse you of playing favorites.Â
Wait. Favorites?Â
Does he count as a âfavoriteâ here? He looks away, lips drooping into a pursed line. Youâve always beenâŚniceâŚbut thereâs no way heâs a favorite of yours. Heâs hardly spoken to you in the year and a half that heâs been coming here. But is that all it takes? Just take up space in the cafe a few times a week and get special treatment?Â
No. You must be joking.Â
All the same, your jovial tone and that welcoming smile is a little intriguing.   Â
He shuffles closer to the heat of the espresso machines, easily lifting his head over the lip of the bronze metal, watching you. Youâre looking down now, fingers gripping the dark handle of the portafilter, holding it under the buzzing grinder to gather a fine sprinkle of dusky espresso grounds into the waiting basket. Then, you lift a lustery tamp to the heaping mound and press expertly against the delicate remains of the arabica, packing them to an even level before clamping the filter under the display of the machine. When you flick the switch that activates the group head you must sense his stare and lift your eyes to his, eyelashes momentarily fluttering against your cheeks when you spy his unabashed observations of you.
For a second, your hands falter, trapped within the unexpected intensity of his curious gaze, and you pat blindly for the cup thatâs sitting to the right of your curled arms, embarrassingly disarmed by his transparent focus. But once your grip wraps around the waiting plastic, it seems to ground you and you let out a huffing chuckle, eyes crinkling up at his half obscured face.Â
âIâm only kidding about moving your drink up, donât worry, I wonât get you in trouble. Besides, itâs against our policy. First come, first serve and whatnot,â you assure him, halting the stream of water thatâs pouring the carefully timed flow of espresso into the clear shot glass thatâs waiting against the gleaming metal of the drip tray.Â
âYouâre busy today,â he notes, jerking his curly head toward the gaggle of college students sprawled across some of the bigger tables, their laughing voices and overly loud conversations easily drowning out the hum of lofi jazz thatâs playing from the recessed speakers.
âAh, yeah, finals are coming up for a lot of us that go to the university. I know my classes are starting to gear up for that last push and sometimes you just need a pick me up and coffee is great for that. We also get a big boost from the smoothies and frappes that we sell in the afternoons, so we get a little packed. Most of our sales happen during the weeks leading up to finals and midterms, uh, anyways, not that you asked for an economic lesson on a small cafeâs profit margins.â
âYouâre a student?â he asks, head dipping back, eyes glittering in the lights. Wait. How old are you? Not that he can boast any sort of seniority on that front, heâs only 24 after all, but you just seemed, hmm, more mature? He didnât picture you as a co-ed. Not that heâs actively picturing you when heâs not here. Well, he is a little recently, but youâve always felt sort of timeless? Ageless? Is that the right term? You give off an air of confidence. So heâd assumed that you were older than him. Not in a bad way, in fact heâd sort of like it if you were. Why, that is, heâs not willing to look too deeply into, at least, not right now. Maybe later, when he gets back home and canâŚoh, youâre talking again.
âIâm a graduate student, but not for much longer. Iâm finishing up my dissertation this week! Thank God. This semester has been the pits, Iâm so ready for a break!â You sound genuinely happy and he can smell that faint aroma of your perfume each time you move.Â
âCongratulations,â he murmurs, unsure if youâd heard him since youâre stepping away from the machines that heâs posted himself behind. He watches you set up two steaming drinks, topping them with a lazy swirl of silky, housemade, whipped cream, a crosshatch drizzle of caramel, carefully snapping a set of black plastic lids on top, before calling out the handwritten names and handing them off to their respective owners. Then youâre back, hands already unhooking the portafilter, knocking out the used espresso pucks into the trash and bringing him back to that spicy smell of summer that sits on your skin.
âHaha, itâs a little early for a congratulations. Donât jinx me, willâya? But seriously, thanks, thatâs nice of you to say,â you continue, flowing easily back into this half-hearted conversation heâs accidentally struck up with you. He winces at that thought and dips his hands deeper into his jacket, hunching his shoulders into a habitual slouch that he instinctively imposes upon himself when heâs out in public.
âYou want a lid?â you question over the hiss of the machine, and he lifts his head, finding your bright eyes through the misting remains of the cleared steam wands.Â
âNo.â His response is clipped, and he gulps down a sudden burst of hazy anxiousness when someone brushes past him, jostling him closer to the low wall that divides the bartop from the cafe floor. He braces himself against the warming top of the machine, his large palm steadying himself, shoulders caving forward, his dark curls falling over his eyes, obscuring his face further. He clenches his jaw, a scowl blooming over his lips.Â
His social anxiety isnât anything new, and itâs likely exacerbated by the bustle of the nearby college students, who seem to be getting louder by the second. The noise is needling under his skin. He starts his carefully ingrained breathing exercises, tugging in a deep stream of air through his flared nostrils.Â
But the smell is coffee is too overwhelming and suddenly his ritual doesnât help much.Â
He can feel blood leaving his fingertips and toes, or as his cousin Komori puts it [ the inescapable dread of some imagined ailment, which is making him think that his body is rushing blood from his extremities to his vital organs, his fingertips cold, hands shaking, when in reality âyouâre just feeling unsure of yourself, man. Itâll be ok in a minute, promise!â ]Â
But in the end, it doesnât matter what anyone calls it, or how they think he should feel during these heart pounding moments, he just knows that he wants to get out of here, now.Â
His agitation must have twisted the top half of his expression because the feel of your warm fingertips against his wrist jerks him out of his head, causing him to suck in an unsteady breath as he lurches backwards, pulling away from your offending touch.Â
âOh! Sorry! I didnât thinkâŚI justâŚâ you bite your lip, a look of stark worry passing over your usually open features. âHey, Iâm sorry. I shouldnât have done that. Are youâŚare you ok?â
âIâm fine,â he grunts, teeth clenched, right leg bouncing in place against the tiles. Shit. Itâs not like he could have predicted that youâd try to touch him, so you canât really blame him for his misplaced reaction. Just get him his coffee and heâll be on his wayâŚ
Come onâŚcome onâŚ
âHere you go. Sorry for the wait, Sakusa,â you lift on your tiptoes, the stretch of your legs and arms apparent as you hold his cup out, careful to balance yourself against the lever of the steam wand. He takes the proffered drink and nods his thanks at you, his gaze dark. The gesture might be a little strained, and he knows you likely think heâs some kinda freak at this point, but heâs glad to see your customary smile before he turns, shouldering his way out the door and into the promise of open air. Â
âStop being so secretive about this place. Itâs not like you canât search for it online, Omi Omi. I saw you come in with the logo of their shop last week and I wanna try it out. Donât chaâ gimme that look, I deserve to have good coffee too! And if itâs close by you canât just keep it to yourself! Think about the rest of us, huh? Besides, I think theyâd like to see something other than yerâ prickly face every once in a while.â Golden haired Atsumu Miya, his fellow teammate and setter for the MSBY Black Jackals, has been walking beside him for five blocks, jabbering on about the bland offerings of the big box coffee chains that surround their home gym, and how he hasnât had a good cup of coffee in days. Tch, heâd said months originally, but that was an obvious lie. After all, Kiyoomi pointed out, slipping his mask on before the two stepped into the strong midday sun, heâd come in with an iced coffee two days ago, proclaiming to the whole team it was the best heâd ever had, bar none.Â
âItâs a small shop,â Kiyoomi glumly elaborates, his dark hair soaking up the rays of sunlight as they crossed the bustling pedestrian walkway. âI think itâs run by an American. The staff speaks English, besides Japanese. Thereâs one barista in particular, a young woman, she hasââ
âEnglish? Oh, hell yeah! I can practice! This is perfect! They got any specialty drinks? I couldnât see any from the menu that they had online, but I told âSamu Iâd send him a picture of the place.â
Hmph, whatâs the use of bothering to hold a conversation with this guy, Kiyoomi thinks, obsidian eyes narrowing as his brows furrow over his scrunched face, watching Atsumu chatter on about the vague sampling that heâd seen on their website. Heâs not listening, anyway.
The coffee shop bell dings as the two of them step into the space, greeted by a waft of freshly ground coffee and the sharp tang of disinfectant. âAhhh,â Atsumu says, propping his hands on his trim hips and fixing Kiyoomi with a pointed look, âtotally see why you like the place. It smells like they have a freaking bleach, whaddya call those, ah, an air freshener! Yeah, smells like they have an âeu de bleachâ wall plug in.âÂ
âItâs clean,â Kiyoomi affirms, his own hands sliding into his pockets, fingers wrapping around his wallet as he steps into the line. âThereâs nothing wrong with that.â
âNot at all,â Atsumu grins, resting an arm on Kiyoomiâs shoulder as he glances over the chalkboard menu. âJust can tell that must be why you like this place so much. Bet you huff cleaner as soon as you get home.. Speaking of, I still need to see your new apartment, heard you let Ushijima come by and thatâs not fair at all. Kindaâ ow! Omi, yaâ friggin ass!âÂ
Kiyoomi jerked his arm upwards as he stepped toward the register and the abrupt displacement sent Atsumuâs hand flying up, managing to perfectly strike himself on his nose as he attempted to counterbalance his sudden shift in momentum.Â
âHA-ah, ahem, I meanâŚhello! Nice to see you again, sir!â the barista calls out, poorly concealing his mirth at Atsumuâs fumbling behind a gloved hand. Kiyoomi nods curtly, his order on the tip of his lips, but before he can utter anything Atsumu is beside him again, leaning against the well lit pastry case and peering over his options critically.
âHmm, yaâ got any of those little madeline cakes? Theyâre vanilla, kinda look like a shell? Saw emâ on yerâ website.âÂ
The barista gives Atsumu a broad grin and twists to talk with someone whoâs below the arched dome of the food case, quietly asking a few questions before looking back at the blonde man. âYeah, we do! Weâre actually just putting them out, my manager is checking for theââ
Atsumu steps impossibly closer to the gleaming glass and pops his head over the dome, peering down at whoever is restocking the sweets. âOh! Hey there!â he chirps, lowering his chin, his face pulling into an exaggerated, cocky smirk. âYaâ know what I mean, right? Itâs kinda like a cake, but itâs small, like a cookie. Itâs French. No, itâs not that. Maybe on the next tray? What? I canât hear yaâ. Itâs smaller. I can step around, see ifââ
A familiar voice pipes up before Atsumu can move closer and Kiyoomi turns, ears instantly pricking up at the sound of your reply. âI said, I know what a madeline is, sir. Iâm rearranging and organizing my cart at the moment and, if youâd like, you can order your drinks first. Iâll have the madeline waiting for you on the other side of the bar.â
âLemme just see one,â Atsumu grins, resting his hands against the glass. Kiyoomiâs lips curl at the sight, watching Atsumuâs hands leave lingering prints behind. Great, now theyâll need to clean and re-polish the display. Besides, youâd said you had them. Why keep pushing the issue? Ugh. If he wasnât regretting his decision to show his fellow teammate the shop before, he certainly is now.Â
âJust wanna make sure weâre on the same page, is all. Yaâ might give me something else by mistake and thatâs a waste of time for both of us!â Atsumuâs smile broadens, a shadowed look falling over his angular features.Â
You hop up from your crouched position, a wrapped package with bright blue lettering that clearly says [ French Vanilla Madeline ] on the side, clutched between your fingers. âOh no, I get it,â you begin, mimicking Atsumuâs cheshire grin with startling accuracy. âYou just want to double check! I mean, the words on the packaging do say: Madeline. So unless you mean something else, something thatâs not called âA French vanilla madeline, made with real vanilla extract and buttery goodness,â I think weâve got you covered.â
Your voice is saccharine sweet, lilting over the words, a well-practiced smile lifting your lips. Youâre still clearly mirroring the one Atsumu is giving you. Itâs the snappiest your tone has ever been, and the fact that itâs being used against his annoying teammate is priceless. Suddenly, he canât help the laugh thatâs already snickering its way past his mask.Â
âOi!â Atsumu cries, pushing himself off the case at last, his teeth gritted at Kiyoomiâs obvious amusement. âI just wanted to check! And you, manager lady, donât be so mean!â
âPfft, manager lady? Itâs (Y/N). And me? Mean? I was not mean, I told you that we had them! I just needed to FIFO some of the other pastries first,â you defend, a surprised exhale falling from your lips.Â
âFIFO? What is that? Donât use that food jargon on me! I get that enough from my brother. He does that crap all the time, like itâs some sorta secret lingo. âDonât do that âTsumu, gotta make sure itâs in dateâ. âDonât come on the line!â âGotta wear a hat or a hair net if yerâ gonna be back here!â âDonât mislabel the rice!â On and on. Whatâs with you food people? So uptight. Look, I just wanted to try one. Yerâ reviews said they were good! Here, tell you what, give me two. Donât laugh! Omi, help! Sheâs picking on me!â
âStop it, youâre making a scene. Any other inane questions? Or anything else youâd like to order, because Iâm certainly not buying any of this for you,â Kiyoomi replies, sneaking a glance at your bemused expression. You catch his eye and give him a quick wink and he finds that his smile stays with him long after he, and a chastened and satiated Atsumu have left the warmth of the coffee shop.
âMmm, these are pretty good,â Atsumu mumbles between bites of his madeline. âYaâ want some?â
He stops by after his evening practice, when the sun has long since fallen past the horizon of the city, but as soon as he rounds the corner he regrets his decision.
The cafe is brimming with people. Theyâre everywhere; outside, they are clustered on the pavement, sitting on the collection of iron wrought chairs, and gathered in groups. Inside, most are sprawled close to the hand off plane, or draped over the couches and tables. They appear to be animated, with computer screens and voices bright, too bright. His usual spot is taken, and heâs already made up his mind to keep walking on but somehow, somehow, he catches your eye.Â
His feet are slowing, a stuttering breath stagnating in his lungs, all at once hopeful and bewildered, but before he can examine his fluttering emotions, youâre alongside him on the noisy sidewalk, passing him his usual evening drink [ a doppio con panna with bitter lungo shots, poured affogato ] a pleased smile on your soft lips.Â
Suddenly, the world smells like velvety pine and heady bergamot, and he canât stop staring down at you.Â
âHey! Glad I could catch you. Wanted to tell you good luck on your upcoming game! I think I saw on the news that itâs tomorrow? Right?â
âYes, weâre playing Azuma Pharmacy. They have a good starting lineup. Itâs entirely possible that weâll lose.â
âJeez,â you exhale, cocking your head at his serious expression. âKind of a pessimist, arenât you?â
âIâm a realist. Iâm perfectly prepared to beat them, but things always play out differently on the court, no matter what your personal expectations are.âÂ
You give him another smile. This one comes quickly, and itâs bigger than any of the others, the pull of it lighting up your face. Itâs different, and he can tell that the way youâre looking at him has shifted; that youâve liked this answer. Heâs not sure why, itâs the truth. Nothing more, nothing less.Â
âGood point. Well, win or lose, youâve got my luck! I better get back inside. Your drink is on me by the way, for the other dayâŚwhen I touched your handâŚwell, Iâm sure you remember. Anyway, see you, Sakusa!â
He watches you slip past the packed lines of students, already rolling up your sleeves so you can wash your hands. Once youâre behind the espresso machine youâre hidden by the burnished copper and he walks on, shouldering his MSBY bag higher, lifting his coffee to his lips. Itâs got a rich flavor, well balanced and expertly poured. Once again, heâs reminded that youâre good at what you do and, despite the balmy heat of early spring, that makes his fingers tingle and his skin break out in gooseflesh.
Later, when heâs falling asleep, he keeps seeing your eyes. Watching as your colored irises come alive in the moonlight, hopeful, shining, and wholly focused on him.
At practice, Atsumu insists on completing his post workout stretching next to him. Heâs used to Kiyoomiâs sullen silences and barbed retorts, content to chatter however he pleases, flitting from topic to topic as he eases into his cool down routine.Â
âI need to go back to that coffee shop. Yaâ been back lately?â
âNo,â Kiyoomi lies, brushing a stubborn wave of curls out of his sweaty face.Â
âToo bad. Maybe after Fridayâs practice? That girl really knew her stuff. Made some great coffee, too. What was her name? Ah, thatâs right, (Y/N). Sheâs cute, whatâs her story?âÂ
Something twinges against Kiyoomiâs rib cage at the word âcute.â Hmm, thatâs not normal. He flips to his left side, facing away from Atsumuâs greedy eyes and leering smiles.Â
âHow long has she worked there?â
âNot sure,â Kiyoomi replies, flattening his palm against the cool flooring of the gym. âAt least a year, maybe more.â
âThat other barista said she was a manager. Sheâs not one of the owners, is she?â
âDunno.â
âIs she a student? Kinda strange to see an American working in Japan, and sheâs definitely an American. Sheâs good with the Japanese, but her accent is off.â
âYour accent is off, so Iâm not sure what your point is. I can understand her, and I canât say the same for you.â
âJackass!â Atsumu snaps, flopping up from his splayed stretch to butterfly his muscled legs. âItâs called a regional accent, and itâs perfectly normal. Yaâ got one too, city boy!â
âSee? No one says things like that. You sound like a cartoon character. Sometimes I donât even know what youâre talking about.â
âYerâ full of it!â
âHmph,â Kiyoomi hums, curling himself onto his haunches and flattening the tops of his hands against the floor. The satisfying crunch of his wrists as his fingers settle makes Atsumu visibly shudder and Kiyoomi flashes him a quick smirk of his own, hoping it will spook his stretching companion enough that heâll leave him be. He prefers to do his cool down in silence.Â
âShe do anything else? Other than diligently slaving over yerâ coffee, that is?â
Tch. It seems that luck isnât with him today. âShe said sheâs a graduate student.â
âOooh, whatâs she studyinâ?â
âNot sure.â
âYerâ about as fun to talk to as a stack of bricks, yaâ know? Bet if Iâd asked you what her name was the other day all youâd say was, âI useâta just call her barista: first name: cute, last name: girl.â
Kiyoomi doesnât reply. Something about these questions is bothering him. He doesnât like that he canât answer them properlyâ itâs frustrating, really. All he can honestly tell Atsumu is that youâre neat and efficient, that you have a smile that he canât quite shake out of his head, a perfume that he wishes he could place, and that, to date, youâve given him one free coffee. The fact that he knows that youâre a graduate student is sheer luck, information that youâd happened to share with him, not that heâd asked you about. He uncoils his hands and flips them over, letting his eyes rest against his reddened palms. Oh, and youâd touched his wrist once and the sheer metaphysical weight of that contact had nearly sent him stumbling backwards.Â
Itâs stupid; heâs stupid.Â
Itâs not hard to talk with people. Itâs justâŚhe knows heâs not good at it. Besides, when would he practice? Heâs surrounded by extroverts; extreme extroverts. Extroverts who defy all sense and who usually canât be silenced unless theyâre tucked into a deep sleep, and even then itâs doubtful. Both Hinata and Bokuto have demonstrated that they can, and will, talk in their sleep. Still, itâs frustrating to find himself boxed into a corner, completely at a loss and unaware of the most cursory, mundane, simple, facts about you. For almost two years, heâs seen you at least twice a week, shouldnât he know more? Why doesnât he know more?
âWhy not give her a ticket to a game?â
Atsumuâs question makes him lift his head, abandoning his musings as he lets the weight of that suggestion sink in. The setter is crinkling his eyes at him now, that all knowing smirk back on his lips, umber eyes hooded, mischievous. âThe front office can do that, yaâ know? Weâve got extras. They keep emâ for that purpose. Just say sheâs a special guest, or a potential sponsor. They ainât gonna question you.âÂ
Kiyoomi looks away, crossing his legs and leaning to his right side, feigning disinterest as Atsumu tells him who he can speak with, where he can see the upcoming calendar, and what seats might be open. Itâs a good idea, a great idea, and he canât help but loathe that Atsumu thought of it first.
The ticket is good for a first row balcony seat.
Itâs situated in the best spot. Heâd picked it out himself, carefully looking over the colored diagram of the stadium and belaboring the proximity of the sight-lines, wanting to let you have a birdâs eye view of the court. Where would he like to sit, if he could watch a game? What works? What doesnât? Too high and you canât catch the movement of the ball. Too low and you canât see the players. Too far to the right or left and you canât see the breadth of the court. Itâs tricky, and heâs cautious with his selection. He canât help it.Â
Kiyoomi only considers you not even liking the sport when heâs placing his order, watching as you carefully tuck his empty cup down on the polished steel of the bar. Shit.
The cafe is quiet. The students are gone, and when the register barista goes to the backroom itâs only him and you in the well lit space. The click of the burr grinder almost makes him jump, and he compromises with his nerves by shifting toward his usual table, resting his bag in the chair and taking in a deep breath.Â
The gentle press of the tamp is audible over the low beats of the music and he hears you knock the side of the portafilter, no doubt leveling off the crushed arabica before you hook the device under the grouphead. Seconds later he sees you flip the switch for his shots, already grooming his heated, foaming, oat milk in the short pitcher, popping the liquid free of any errant bubbles. Youâre gentle with this part, and heâs always loved to watch you pour his cortado, liking the raise of your arm and the flick of your wrist as you let the creamy milk flow into the paper cup, swirling a rosetta design through the ochre of the waiting espresso.Â
Usually, this well-oiled process of yours calms him, but today he feels fidgety and his head is buzzing. The sooner you finish the drink, the sooner heâll have to talk to you. Shit, shit. When you move the dark lids forward, his hand feels like itâs heating around the slick paper of the ticket, making it clammy and tacky. He bites his lip and removes his hand from his jacket, wiping his palm against his dark jeans.Â
Youâre already looking up at him, nodding toward the fragrant cup thatâs waiting at the edge of the handoff plane. Automatically, he lurches forward, completely in-sync with his familiar routine. The question [ would you like a ticket to one of my games? ] is resting on the tip of his tongue and his fingers are hovering beside his cup. He can see that theyâre shaking and that sight doesnât ease him. Then you ask him something and he feels everything skitter to a halt. Why is this happening? Itâs just a ticket, itâs just a game.Â
Wait. You asked him something?Â
He does his best to ignore the humming of anxious tension thatâs filtering down his fingertips and lifts his bowed head. âWhat?â he mumbles, lips unsticking at last.
âJust asked how your game went the other day. I tried to record it but my stupid cable box isnât working. I need to try and see you guys, I know Iâve probably said that before, but itâs pretty pathetic of me to not catch one game when the stadium is only two miles away. Plus, I know yâall are a great team! Heard you made the playoffs last year, thatâs so awesome!â
Itâs a perfect segway.Â
But he feels like heâs rooted to the spot, like his tongue is trapped against the roof of his mouth, and his hands are too heavy to move, content to shake beside his cooling drink as he whittles his time away, too filled with the what ifâs to do anything about the here and now. Heâs going down a mental checklist, mulling over each possibility, cautiously tampering with that heady rush of excitement thatâs threatening to bubble out of his masked lips. Shit.Â
Heâs gotta check his vitamin intake, maybe heâs low on omega 3s? The team has a general practitioner on standby. He really should call him after this, maybe run by his office before the next practice.Â
Somethingâs off with him.
Wait, that worked.Â
That shift in his whirring thoughts broke him out of that suspended state and then, before he completely fucks this up, the ticket is down against the counter and heâs muttering something about unlimited uses, that if you canât make it now, then you can always switch the date, or add someone on, if you have a [ boy ] friend you want to take; the next game works best with the seat thatâs listed, heâs checked. He knows itâs open. Again, zero pressure and no worries if you canât make it. See you around.
You might have responded, you might have smiled, fuck, you might have laughed at him. Heâs not sure.
All he knows is that as soon as he is out of the shop heâs calling the teamâs gp and confirming an appointment for tomorrow morning. Itâs not natural for his heart to stutter and thump like that. It could be an arrhythmia.Â
It could be any number of things.Â
He hasnât felt this nervous about a game in years. Sure, itâs a good team, and they have four players that are of his generation, most of them powerful outside hitters that will probably give the Jackals a good run for their money, but theyâre not insurmountable. They can beat VC Kanagawa; theyâll have to if they want to advance further in the lineup for the playoffs.Â
Itâs justâŚ
He keeps looking for that seat. Your seat. Heâd gotten to the stadium early; opting to forgo the first team meeting, saying he needed to practice his wall drills, work on his spin, but thatâs not the real reason. The real reason is something that he doesnât want to acknowledge. At least, not before a game. He steadies himself, reiterating that itâs not practical or helpful for him to worry about things like that.Â
Nevertheless, heâs pinned the seat in his mind. He studied it as the lights shuddered on, the maintenance staff flashing him bewildered looks as he stepped into the empty brightness of the court. Heâd found it again during the pre-game warmup, onyx eyes committing the location to memory, searching for the little details that he could watch for if he wanted to find it again, later, when the arena was packed with thousands of eyes and waving signs.
As they open the main doors and the seats fill up, heâs still looking at the seat.
âWhatcha looking at?â Hinata asks, his burst of orange hair already slicked with sweat, vivid eyes sharp.Â
âNothing.â
The results of Kiyoomiâs physical had shown no outliers, no cause for worry or concern. Everything was fine. He should just get a little extra potassium in, maybe eat a few more bananas in the morning, or after his practices. Heâd been a little miffed when he opened the manilla folder, eyes hunting for abnormalities, for a reason, an explanation. If nothing is wrong, then why does he feel like heâs tingling with adrenaline all the time? It makes him light-headed, sluggish, and thatâs detrimental to his playability, to his value to his team.Â
He looks away from Hinata and paces past Atsumuâs arched eyebrow, ignoring the implications of that wicked grin thatâs resting on the setterâs quirked lips. Itâs fine; heâs fine. His eyes look up to the balcony again. He really shouldnât be doing that, he reminds himself. Itâs a distraction, and he doesnâtâ
Oh. There you are.
He canât make out details, not from this distance, and he suddenly feels self-conscious about his face. Thereâs no mask. He doesnât wear it when he plays, and this will be the first time youâve seen him without it. Suddenly, he wishes he hadnât cared so much about the visibility of the court. Why did he plant you so far away? If he canât see you, then thereâs no way youâll be able to tell which one he is eitherâŚohâŚwaitâŚhis name is on the back of his jersey and theyâll announce his number. Nevermind.Â
The referee calls for the teams to line up and he diligently follows his teammates, standing in his usual spot, ignoring the dull thump of his heart as it beats a ragged tattoo under his ribs.Â
They won.Â
They won, and heâd racked up a whopping 23 points for himself, a personal milestone. Itâll be something that will go down on his athletic record, that the local and national news reports will chatter about, that he can feel proud of. Heâs glad; you always show him your best, so itâs only fair he does the same for you too.
Heâd peeked up at your seat during each time out, each break, every time the momentum shifted, and before he hit every serve. You looked like you had your feet propped up, resting against the metal barrier of the balcony, and he could see that your arms were wrapped around your knees. You were paying attention, and that knowledge made his lungs swell and his pulse quicken.Â
Now, after heâs finished toweling some of the clinging sweat from his brow and the matted droop of his obsidian curls, he twists back, facing your seat, but youâre not there. An empty curve of plastic greets him and his heavy brows furrow, his fingers dropping the towel onto the bench as they curl up into his palms.Â
Did you leave? It would make sense, he supposes. The game is over. He just thought you might come down. Might want to talk. Not that heâd have much to say. He never does. Stupid; what would he talk with you about? See the game? Yeah, duh.Â
The distant voice of MSBYâs public relations manager is calling for him. Heâll worry about it [ you ] later, he thinks, heâs still got a job to do.
During his interview he can hear Atsumuâs voice. Itâs annoying. While the setter doesnât attempt to tone himself down, he rarely talks that loudly. Kiyoomi glances over at his straight back, watching as his hand cups against the back of his golden head, an infectious laugh bursting from his turned lips. Strange. Itâs not like him to chat with someone for that long, not when heâs got his own post-game interviews to conduct. He usuallyâÂ
Ah, itâs you.Â
Suddenly, questions like: [ how does it feel to be considered for the 2025 Japanese Olympic team? ] donât matter. His head is half cocked now, dark eyes following the two of you, his comments to the national reporter falling into clipped monosyllables. This is unprofessional; he should focus on the matter at hand, itâs not like him to be distracted.Â
Heâs been thinking about that a lot lately. That so many things are suddenly not like him.Â
When you push playfully at Atsumuâs shoulder, he lapses into a stormy silence, nails biting into his clenched palms, pressing half moons into his calloused skin. After answering one more question: [ something about his future plans - howâs he supposed to know? That depends on trades, on opportunities. And right now heâs not in the correct frame of mind to answer honestly, not when he can see that youâre right there ] he bows to the smiling face of the reporter, formally concluding his participation in the interview. He knows itâs abrupt; he knows heâll likely get an earful from the MSBY PR director, from his coach, and from himself, when the full weight of his uncharacteristic rashness hits him, but right now he doesnât care.
His feet feel like lead and the steps that heâs taking shudder against the gymâs polished flooring. Heâs usually smoother than this, more collected, but canât will himself to stop lurching forward. He tucks his hands into the darkness of his team jacket, coiling his numb fingers into tight balls, and hunches his shoulders. He likely looks like thunder and this suspicion is confirmed when a ball boy scuttles out of his path, eyes wide, but Kiyoomi doesnât care.Â
Atsumu hasnât noticed his approach, but you do, and that shy wave and familiar smile makes his breath catch in his throat. Damn it. Whatâs going on with him?Â
Atsumu notices your wandering attention and turns, following your gaze. Once he spots Kiyoomi, he gives him a cheeky smirk, dipping his chin, lazily fixing his amber eyes on Kiyoomiâs arched figure. âLook who caaame!â he calls, lacing his tone with poorly concealed glee. âShe said you gave her a ticket. What a great, absolutely original, idea! And you had your record breaking scoring streak today too! Hey! Maybe sheâs good luck! Watch out (Y/N), pretty soon weâll be hooking you up with a personal mascot job if yaâ can light such a fire under our stoic hitterâs ass. Must be something special in that coffee yerâ serving him.â
Kiyoomi narrows his eyes at Atsumuâs blatant needling and the setter chuckles, flipping his focus back to you, sensing the rising agitation that is rolling off of Kiyoomi in waves now. âWell, sure was good to see yaâ again! Talk to me next time, huh? Iâll get you a boxed seat. Itâs much better than those nosebleeds in the balconies.â
You shake your head, a smile pulling at your lips, and make a show of rolling your eyes. âFlattery doesnât suit you, you know? And what boxed seats? Feels like Iâd see them if you had them,â you tease, earning yourself a last laugh and Atsumuâs back, a friendly hand waving a last goodbye as he finally strides toward the waiting cameras. Kiyoomi watches him go, his shoulders tense, a feeling of unease settling in his gut. Is Atsumu doing this on purpose?Â
He almost snaps a retort at his retreating figure, but the sound of your voice immediately snatches his attention toward you. His dark gaze meets yours and the look in your eyes makes his palms feel itchy and his feet scuff mindlessly against the floor.
âThis is gonna sound so dumb, but itâs been on my mind since I got hereâŚâ
Kiyoomiâs fingers twist in his pockets, coiling over each digit, and his pulse feels like itâs speeding up again. âWhat?â
âItâs justâŚwell, you look so much younger without the mask,â you let out a small laugh and duck your head, teeth pulling at your lower lip as you face away from his widening eyes.Â
âIs that bad?â
âNo! You look good! Uh, I mean, not that you didnâtâŚI just wasnât sureâŚnot that Iâd thought about itâŚa lotâŚuh, IâŚyeah, IâmâŚNo, itâs not bad!â You press your hands against your mouth, steepling your fingers under your nose and fix him with a sheepish grin. âAnyway, I know youâve got things to do, but Miya was right about one thing, you had a great game. I had a lot of fun and it was so nice of you to get me that ticket, and wellâŚâ
You pause, lowering your hands to yank your purse forward, fingers digging into the leather before you right yourself once more, returning with a small, zipped bag, and a plastic card thatâs balancing atop the metal teeth. âItâs aâŚwellâŚI sorta tried to think of some things that you might like. To say thanks! Itâs nothing fancy. A nail filing kit, because I read that volleyball guys like to keep their hands in tiptop shape, one of those portable ball pumps and some masks.Â
The masks are from a great company, back home, er, in the states. Well, at least I like them, theyâre super durable. And the card, uh, ha, um, the card is to the cafe. I know itâs not super original, but I didnât know if you liked any other places. And I didnât wanna assume or â Haha, oh God, I am talking your ear off. JustâŚhere! Take this from me so I can get my foot outta my mouth, okay?â
You press the bag forward and before he can tell you he doesnât accept gifts from fans, his hands are already out of the safety of his pockets, firmly wrapping around your offering. âThank you,â he bows. He wants to say more, but heâs not sure how.
He didnât mean to come by the cafe.Â
He thought heâd go for a quick run before practice, maybe loop the block, or jog toward the university. None of these things are close to the cafe, but apparently his feet had other ideas. The shop bell rings when he steps inside, wiping some hand sanitizer against his heated palms, onyx eyes alert, already searching for you.Â
A male barista [ is it Kane? ] greets him and before he can stop himself, heâs asking if youâre there. âOh, (Y/N)? Nah, sheâs off today. But I can make your cortado, you get almond milk, right?â
âOat,â Kiyoomi replies, voice muffled by his mask. Damn. Why did he come here? He didnât mean to and now itâs looking like it was a wasted trip. A useless instinct. Heâd wanted to thank you properly for your gift, which had been on his mind a lot the past few days. Perhaps thatâs why he felt so compelled to jog the extra mile, why he canât seem to keep away, why he keeps looking for you as he waits, even though he knows youâre not here.Â
Maybe he can text you his thanks. That would make all of this easier. Oh, wait, does he even have your number? He pulls his phone out of his pocket and examines his contact list, searching for you. No, nothing under your name. Maybe he put it under something else? [ barista? cafe? ] Again, thereâs nothing. Damn. Why didnât he ask at the game? Or when he gave you the ticket?
When he picks up his drink and paces back into the sunshine, heâs still kicking himself that he hasnât asked for your number yet. It would have made things so much simpler, he reasons, sipping at his coffee; now heâll have to come back.Â
But days pass, and he hasnât returned.Â
Thereâs just too much going on. Too many team meetings and late practices. Too much preparation. The pace of his schedule has never bothered him before, but now he keeps hoping for some kind of reprieve.Â
The other morning Atsumu strode into a meeting with a cup from your cafe, proudly flaunting the familiar label. It made Kiyoomiâs blood boil [ did he see you? talk with you? Did he get to see that addictively pleasing smile of yours? ] and later that afternoon he experienced his first scolding.Â
âWhatâs going on, Omi? Five missed digs? This isnât like you. You look like your head is in the clouds. Come on, get it together. Big game in five days.â
âSorry, wonât happen again.â Itâs all he can say.Â
When heâs heading toward the team showers, he catches sight of Atsumuâs knowing leer and he grits his teeth, ignoring the huffed snicker and scoffing head shake that the setter sends his way.Â
Finally, two days later, heâs got some free time. There are other errands he needs to run, things he should do, but the only thing he can think about is you.Â
Heâs walking up from a side street, one he rarely takes, when, at long last, he catches sight of you. You must be on a break. Youâre sitting at a bench, facing a small, but well laid flower bed, flipping the pages of your open book languidly as you read under the cool shade of a gnarled tree.Â
Heâs glad heâs wearing the mask that you gifted him.Â
Youâd said that they were durable, and their quality had genuinely impressed him. When he got home, after the game, he slipped them out of their individual plastic cases, fingering the thick, well made materials before washing one. Heâd left the others in their containers. Heâll use them, eventually, but not right now. He wants to savor them. He wants them to last. Â
Kiyoomi is almost to your side when you look up and he bites against his lower lip as soon as you give him that friendly smile of yours, already closing your book and standing, waiting for him to step closer. He comes to a stop in front of you, peering down at you through his dark lashes.Â
You always smell so nice, he thinks, unconsciously shifting closer, seeking more. You must have showered before coming into your shift because the crisp scent of peppermint and gentle lavender makes his nostrils flare hungrily under his mask.Â
âHey there!â you begin, tucking your book into your arms. âLong time no see. How have you been?â
âFine. I have practice later. I came by the other day. IâŚâ he lapses into frustrated silence, dark brows falling, letting his hands grip at the material of his jacket. Why is this so hard? You, all the others on his team, Motoya [ hell, even the notoriously impassive Wakatoshi has come out of his shell over the years ] can slip into a conversation. Damn it, how can everyone else make this look so easy?Â
âSaw youâre playing the Adlers soon. Theyâre the team the Jackals have a sorta rivalry with, right?â
He blinks down at you and lets out a shallow exhale. There you go again. Youâre giving him a life raft, a conversation he can fall into, something he enjoys talking about. He remembers his stilted conversation with Atsumu, the one where he did not know about any of the basic things, the obvious things, the things that made you, you. Itâs nice that youâre looking out for him, that youâre helping him along, but he doesnât want to talk about volleyball, not right now.
âWe do. How did your finals go? You said you had a dissertation?â
âOh!â you blurt, your eyes widening, but youâre clearly pleased, even a little excited that heâs asked. âYou remembered! Finished it up last week. Now I just need to knock out my revisions and Iâll either go back to committee, or theyâll approve it! Iâm hoping they approve it. Iâm sick of looking at it, haha.â Your fingers tap against your book and you duck your head, a quick smile passing over your smooth lips. âUh, did you want to come in for a coffee? Not trying to hold you up, if youâve got practice to go to.â
âI was the one who came over.â He sounds a little harsh, he thinks, nose wrinkling under his mask. Heâs never worried about being blunt, but that doesnât work here. He doesnât want to be, not with you. âI mean, I wantedâŚwanted to say thanks, for the masks and the other things. I like them.â He points to his covered face and you let out a chuckle, gleaming eyes crinkling as you look up at him. Damn, youâre pretty. How has he not noticed that before? He wants to see you laugh again, heâs just not sure how to go about it. Does he even know any jokes? Shit.
âAwe, Iâm glad you like them! Speaking of, Atsumu came by a few days ago, I guess you must have worn one around him because he was trying to sniff out if Iâd given them to you. Heâs a funny guy, but I cannot get a good read on him. Itâs almost like heâs doing stuff on purpose, but heâs never blatantly obvious about it. The way he was talking, I was kinda worried he was trying to play a prank on you. Does he like to get under your skin or something? Heâsââ
Kiyoomiâs not thinking when he leans down. Heâs been doing that a lot lately, not thinking. It makes his skin prickle. Or is that the smell of peppermint on your clean neck, the fragrant lavender in your hair? The kiss is soft; more of a press of his lips than a real caress. But itâs nice, and he actually likes being this close to you, but something feels off and, ah, damn it.Â
His dark brows knit together, furrowing his forehead, when he realizes what heâs done. He didnât take off his mask. How stupid. But that shaky gasp of air that you let out when he pulls away, and the following upward lift of your body, your lips chasing his, clearly wanting him to come back, oh thatâs so worth it, mask or not.
Your eyes are the first thing he sees when he looks back down, and he doesnât think heâs ever seen something so perfect. Theyâre bright, vibrant, and rich with an excitement that makes his toes curl.Â
The smell of lavender and peppermint, of you, is almost overwhelming, and yet somehow itâs all together, not enough. He doesnât say anything and neither do you.Â
What is there to say?Â
That one, half-formed, touch said it all. It expressed every frustration that heâs felt over the last few weeks, every faded memory of your voice, of your playful smiles, of those hesitant conversations youâve helped him through. Itâs all there, sitting quietly between the two of you, shimmering in the sunlight as you take a step closer and his hands finally fall out of his pockets, waiting, hoping for yours.Â
â(Y/N)! Breakâs over! Coffeeâs not gonna brew itself!âÂ
The distant voice of your coworker shatters the euphoria and you tense, pulling away, your head turning toward the barked command as you call out your reply. Kiyoomi huffs out an impatient breath. He wanted to try that again. Do it right this time. How pathetic is he? Kissing you through a mask? But his annoyance dies when you face him again, slipping your hand tentatively into his.Â
His digits fall limply around yours and he canât help but marvel at the softness of you. One of his thumbs lifts and he traces the skin along your knuckles, unsure if heâs even breathing anymore. âCome on,â you say, looking down at his touch before lacing your fingers through his, showing him how to hold you. âIâll make your coffee.âÂ
Youâre walking forward and he has the inane urge to snatch you back, wanting to see how the rest of you feels, wanting to know how youâll fit into his arms, but he distracts himself by following you. Thereâs a budding warmth thatâs spreading from his palm, where your hand rests inside his, to his chest. It feels like a low burning fire is coursing along his veins and his heartbeat thuds out of rhythm, but for once he doesnât care.Â
In fact, he thinks he likes it.
He sits in the cafe for too long, his coffee cold, the cup almost empty. But before he leaves [ already so, so late for practice ] he gets your number.Â
He taps the unfamiliar digits carefully into his device and you watch from the counter, your chin propped in your hand, a gentle smile kissing against your palm. Then he stands, pausing beside you and you run your index finger down his arm, lingering your touch beside his wrist, making him shiver in the warm sunlight, a pleased grin hidden behind his mask.
notes: this man has what, 10 pages of interaction? idk why and idk how, but he is stuck in my brain - like, seriously send help, i think iâm in love.Â

The prominent dark circles under Shigarakiâs eyes were a clear indication that he had been up all night again. Even while he sat in the bed beside you, playing a game on some handheld console, you could tell he hadnât been to sleep at all in the past twenty-four hours.
Trying to ignore the soft sounds coming from his game, you cuddled up to him anyway, slinging an arm under on of his, resting your hand back up on his shoulder, your grasp resembling that of a backpack strap.
âWhat are you playing?â You mumbled quietly, your eyes just barely peeking over his arm, the screen illuminated a little too brightly for your comfort.
âSome weird RPG I downloaded from a forum. Itâs stupid.â Shigaraki quickly turned the game console off and set it on the night stand, turning over to look at you.
âYou look tired, did you not sleep good last night?â You ask, reaching a delicate hand up to caress his cheek, thumb carefully grazing over the top his cheek. You pull him in for a delicate kiss, just barely touching his lips.
You were still half-asleep, but you could tell Shigaraki wasnât taking care of himself again. He had these spells, usually around the time when the League wasnât doing much, plotting or just moving around, he wouldnât sleep, heâd barely eat-his excuse would be he forgot, but you knew he was anxious.
Anxious for what was to come. He was a good leader, and he was strong, probably stronger than you were, but that didnât matter. You were worried about him.
You couldnât stand seeing those dark circles under his eyes, of hearing his tummy rumble when you lay next to him. It seemed the scratching on his neck would worsen as well, raw skin peeking through under the already cracked and dry skin he itched at for what felt like hours.
âDidnât sleep.â He replied quietly. He knew you were about to scold him. He could read it all over your face as you pouted, pulling him into you.
âYou couldâve woke me up, and we couldâve done something to help you fall asleep.â You sit up, ushering him to lay in your lap. As he does so, you take one look at his hair and inwardly cringe.
Itâs a knotted mess, and no matter how much you wanted to run your fingers through it, you probably wouldnât even get halfway before having to brush your fingers out of there with a hair brush. Or worse, cut them out.
âDidnât wanna bug you.â Shigaraki seemed cold. His responses were dry. You heaved a sigh and pushed him up by his shoulders. Slinking out of the bed, you walked around to his side and tugged him out, pulling him over to the bathroom by his arms.
âHow many times have I told you I donât mind.â You sigh as you set him down on he toilet lid, watching as he just nods, hanging his head as you turn on the water for the bath.
Allowing it to warm up, you turn back to him and tug at his shirt.
âArms up.â You speak softly, proceeding to take his shirt off as he lifts his arms up.
âWhen did you get this!?â Youâre visibly and audibly worried as you spot a rather large bruise on his side. It looked like it hurt.
âLast fight.â Shigaraki sighed and glanced up at you.
âWhat are you doing?â His lips were fitted in a thin line, his eyelids were barely open, probably to heavy to even try.
âIâm going to help you relax. Look, your shoulders are so tense you canât even relax them!â You went to touch his shoulders and just as you had stated, the muscles felt locked and telling by the hissing from Shigaraki, they were painful to move and touch.
âAlright alright! Just, am I taking a bath?â He questioned. You nodded and stepped aside, allowing him to undress the rest of the way before getting into the tub, his lips parting as he sat down, the warm water already making him feel slightly better.
Taking a cup youâd left in the bathroom from dumping out some soda, you rinsed it quickly under the sink, making sure it wasnât sticky, and then brought it over to the tub where you scooped up some water and poured it over Shigarakiâs hair.
Once it was wet enough to lather some shampoo in, you allowed him to lean back as you worked your fingers through his locks. Unknotting his hair and washing it was a bit difficult, but taking your time, you made sure every strand of his hair was clean.
Your fingers worked their way back up to his scalp where you massaged for quite a few minutes, both to try and remove any built up dirt and dandruff and to give him a bit of a massage.
Shigaraki was almost purring in satisfaction as you finally dragged your hands away, reaching for the cup to rinse his hair. It didnât take you long to rinse out all the suds before getting started on the conditioner.
âThank you.â Shigaraki mumbled, holding his knees to his chest, his head dipped back so you could wash his hair easier.
âOf course. I know you havenât been taking care of yourself again, I know you donât mean too, but I canât help but notice.â You sigh, running the pleasant-smelling conditioner through his white locks.
âYou have these weird spells. I understand though, how you feel. Itâs not easy being the leader, I canât imagine the stress you feel, but youâve got to take care of yourself. Itâs important. You gotta be strong for the league, and for yourself.â You know Shigaraki, a little more than everyone else in the league does.
Youâre dating him for peatâs sake. But Shigaraki became standoffish, grumpy, and even distant during these spells. There was nothing to do. Besides maybe make up a plan for a little something just to do something.
He was anxious about the little things. About how the league looked to the public. About how long they had stayed in one location. About how long it had been since their last big attack.
He needed to get back to league business, but there needed to be time, a good plan, an opening, the forces to attack, all of it needed to be planned with pinpoint accuracy, and those things took time.
âI love you, a whole bunch.â You lean over and kiss his cheek, smiling as his cheeks burn red.
You lather up a loofa with some nice scented soap and begin to wash his back and shoulders, down his arms and a little on his neck.
Youâre extra careful around his neck and try not to get any of the scented soap on his raw skin. You know it hurts, and itâll sting when water washes over it, but youâll have to take extra good care of that spot later.
When youâre finished washing him, you drain the water and let him stand up, switching the bath to a shower and you begin to rinse him off.
It feels so domestic, these few minutes. The way you laugh and giggle when you tell him to lift his arms and spin and then call yourself some sort of car wash as you spray the warm water over him.
âYouâre making a mess.â Shigaraki states at the various puddles of water on the bathroom floor. You sigh and finally help him rinse his conditioned hair out, asking him to hold the shower head for you while you run your fingers through his hair and ring out all the suds.
After the shower, you let him stand and air dry why you go and retrieve a towel. Upon walking in, heâs turned away from you, so you decide to pinch his butt, playfully of course.
Shigaraki just turns and glares at you, taking the towel from you as you giggle.
âI touched the butt.â You laugh as you leave the bathroom, letting him dry off. While he does so, you search around for a pair of boxers to hand him as well as a comfy t-shirt to put on after you give him a nice back massage.
Handing him his underwear, you look away and decide to make the bed quickly while he gets partially dressed.
âWhereâs my shirt?â He questions. You turn and for a few seconds, youâre flustered. Thereâs Shigaraki, hair dripping wet and running down his toned chest, right down to the waist band of his black boxers. The towel youâd given him is lazily tossed over one shoulder, and he looks like some sort of actor out of a terrible romance movie.
Too entranced by his looks, you quickly shake your head, feeling the heat rise to your cheeks. You pat the freshly made bed.
âBack massage.â You blurt out kneeling on the bed, waiting for him to lay down.
âFlustered?â Shigaraki stands beside the bed, a finger under your chin as you look up at him. You lean up and kiss his lips, smiling as you pull away.
âWell when you look that good can you blame me?â You tease, waiting as he lays down on the bed like you had motioned for.
âI guess not.â He replies.
Laying his head over his folded arms, his chest is against the bed. You move to sit over his butt as you look at his back. Still a little damp from the shower, you take the towel that had been tossed on the bed and dry it off, running it through his wet locks a bit.
Tossing it down onto the floor, too unbothered about it leaving a wet-mark on the carpet, You squirt some lotion into your hand and delicately begin to rub it into his back, carefully drawing your fingers across his skin, massaging it up over his shoulders.
Your fingers work magic as you relieve his tension, working at his shoulders carefully and strategically, undoing any knots that had formed.
Shigarakiâs eyes are closed, and small hums of satisfaction spill from his mouth as you do so.
You spend minutes massaging his back, quietly and gently working lotion into his skin. And when youâre finished, you ask him to sit up and face you. He puts on a shirt and you ask for his hands.
Heâs skeptical but allows you to see one. You carefully apply some lotion to your hand and begin to massage it in, working down each one of his fingers before gently massaging his palm.
He stares at you in admiration as you seem un-phased by his hands, or the fact that he could kill you with them if you messed up. You donât even look anxious, or worried about them.
And when you switch to his other hand, you continue, even when his fingers twitch. You just smile and kiss the back of his hand when youâre done, complementing the way he looks.
Interlocking your hands with his, Shigarakiâs eyes go wide.
âCareful!â He speaks up, falling into you as you tug him back.
Heâs laying on top of you as you lay under him, smiling up at him.
âI can handle myself, donât worry. Now come here.â You wrap your arms and legs around him, clinging to him like a sloth. You canât help but giggle as he turns over, allowing you to be on top of him.
âYouâre so stupid.â Shigaraki sighs, closing his eyes. You brush your nose against his, kissing the tip of his nose before burying your head into the crook of his neck.
âBut you love me. And I love you too.â You kiss his neck gently, closing your eyes as you rest against him.
âI do love you.â Shigarakiâs arms are wrapped over your back, holding you down on top of him. He smiles and finally feels how tired he was.
âIâm gonna go make breakfast soon, so take a little nap okay?â You sit up and kiss his forehead.
âI canât fall asleep without you.â Shigaraki mumbles, holding you tighter.
âThis is a bad idea. Iâm gonna fall back asleep too.â You mumble reaching for a blanket. Shigaraki helps cover the both of you.
âGuess weâre napping then.â Shigaraki kisses your cheek, nuzzling his head against yours.
âGuess so.â Your words are quiet as you slip back to sleep, peacefully dozing off as Shigaraki does the same.
Itâs a bit of a long nap, a couple hours pass. And when you wake up, you make some food for the both of you, eating a big meal while watching a show on Netflix. The day is all about Shigaraki and so cuddles are a must when youâre finished eating.
You switch from basic cuddling to sitting in his lap, to even under his baggy t-shirt, your head poking through the head-hole, your back against his chest.
Itâs a long day, but itâs spent with Shigaraki, taking care of him and showing him how much you truly adore him. And he loves it.
And at the end of the night, when you go to bed for real after gaming for an unreal amount of time, he holds you close and kisses the top of your head. Youâre tuckered out completely sound asleep as he begins to doze off himself.
He loves you. He really does.

Vows Pt.4
Daryl Dixon x Reader
Series Summary:
The last battle with Negan doesnât go as it should, with Negan coming on top, and so reader, Darylâs girlfriend, offers herself as a wife to Negan if he doesnât kill Daryl or anyone else. Negan accepts, he wonât kill anyone but will take reader as a wife, and heâll take Daryl and some of the others to the Sanctuary as prisoners, promising not to hurt anyone if reader is one of his wives and the communities work for him.
This has both flashbacks to reader and Darylâs story since meeting to now, and the present with reader living at the Sanctuary as a wife, trying to keep Daryl and their people safe, and she and the other wives dealing with Negan, plotting⌠(This is not a Negan x reader fic!)
This chapter has Negan in it but also a bit flashback to when Daryl and reader met.
The next day was strange, to be there in a room at the Sanctuary, but you had to remind yourself that it could be worse. All you did was stay in the room with the other women, getting to know them more, sharing stories about your life, reminding you of your first days back at the quarry, when you met new people, so long ago. It still felt surreal, to be in a luxurious room, with food, books, magazines, booze, even DVDs, and in the apocalypse.
Yes, you knew it could be worseâŚyou could be in a cell, like Daryl and the others, you could be starved and tortured as people had been at the SanctuaryâŚbut yet, you hated that feeling of being trapped, and the feeling of dread only got worse when late that day, the door of the room opened and Negan walked in, already with that shit-eating grin
âHi, ladies.â
âHi, Negan,â the others greeted, but the words didnât make it past your lips.
He walked around the room, sometimes approaching any of the wives, whoâd smile mechanically at him, and he kissed Abby when he walked past her but didnât stop, instead going to the sofa where Amber was drinking, silent tears falling down her cheeks.
Negan shook his head, letting out a sigh, and he sat down next to her. âAmber, darling,â he placed his hand on her cheek and made her look at him. âWe talked about it, I donât want you here if youâre going to be sad. As you all know, nobody is here against their will.â Negan glanced at you at that before looking at Amber again and you tried not to scoff. âSo, if you want to stop being married to me and go back to whatever work you had to earn points for your parents, you know you can.â
âNo, Negan, I want to be here, I love you,â Amber said, sounding like a robot that had rehearsed it. You wondered if Negan would expect you to say those words too, but you were sure youâre insides would burn if you ever said that.
âGood...then maybe you should stop being drunk and crying all the time, right, sweetheart?â Negan let go of Amberâs face when she nodded. âIâd tell you to come to the bedroom, have some fun, see if you feel betterâŚbut I had other plans.â Negan got up from the sofa. âY/N, bedroom.â
You blinked, taken aback. You hadnât thought that Negan would call for you, you had been with him last night. âMe?â
âIs there any other Y/N?â Negan gave you that shit-eating grin that you wanted to kick. âYes, you, come on.â
âI havenât even put on lotion today, I donât smell like cake,â your mouth said before your brain could stop it, but Neganâs grin went to bigger, and so did the mischief in his eyes.
âDonât worry, darling, I have some in my bedroom, Iâll lather you with it myself, get you smelling all nice for me, my little dessert,â he taunted you with that damn grin, and you bit your tongue. âCome on.â
Negan began walking to his bedroom and you looked at the other women. âDidnât he have a wife for each day of the week?â You whispered and Tanya snorted.
âIt doesnât work like that.â
âY/N!â Came Neganâs voice from the corridor, and so you took a deep breath, swallowed hard, and followed him.
*
You were sat down on the bed, tugging at the sheet to wrap it around you, looking everywhere but at Negan. âCan I leave?â
âNo,â Negan answered and you frowned, you had expected him to say yes, maybe send someone else. You looked at him and he was smiling as if he were again trying to annoy you.
You rolled your eyes. âWhat do you want me to do, then?â
âTalk.â Negan grinned and if he was trying to annoy you he was succeeding.
âSeriously? You want to talk to me?â You said, but then, you had always thought that Negan loved to hear himself speak, so maybe it wasnât that strange, but probably heâd better talk to any of the other wives that were better at pretending to listen.
âYes, doll, I feel like I should be honest with you,â Negan began, reaching to place a hand on your thigh, under the sheet, and once again you had to fight the instinct of slapping it. âI wouldnât have killed Daryl, you know, if you hadnât married me.â
âYeah, sure.â You scoffed.
âI wouldnâtâŚRick? Sure, I would have killed him there, in front of all of you, right that moment, I canât let go of what he did, people need an example,â Negan kept going. âDwightâŚIâd have killed that fucking rat too.â
You were about to say that you didnât give a shit about what happened to Dwight and that he was not part of the deal, but Negan kept speaking.
âEugineâŚI donât knowâŚâ Negan hummed. âHe crossed me, I want to kill him, but that awesome brain of his, I want to use it. I want to take his brain out of his head and put it in someone elseâs.â
âDonât we all,â you muttered, and Negan chuckled.
âYouâre fun, Y/NâŚcould be fun, if you werenât so focused on hating me,â he said and you scoffed.
âYes, because you gave me no reasons.â
Negan just chuckled again and he stretched on the bed. âI just think, if you werenât so focused on hating me? You could see how life here is not bad at all.â
You decided not to comment on that. âSo, youâd have killed Rick, Dwight, and Eugine, but nobody else,â you said, instead. âYouâd have let Daryl live.â
Negan hummed and nodded. âIâd have brought him here to his cell, start right where we left it, let him see what happens when you ran away from me and go against me, soâŚyeah, I guess heâd have eventually died.â He shrugged and you scoffed.
âJeez, great, thatâs so much better than having killed him right there.â At least you hoped that you were keeping Daryl safe dealing with all this Negan bullshit.
âI like you, Y/N,â Negan said, throwing you off. âYou get annoyed easily and when youâre annoyed youâre funny and cute.â WellâŚfunny and cute was not what you went for when you were annoyed, but you didnât care what Negan thought, it wasnât like you could show him how you were when you were annoyed. âSoâŚdonât try to find out what happens to someone when they try to run from me and go against me. Itâd be a pity.â
âI wasnât planning on,â you scoffed. âBeing this charming, small wonder that you need to blackmail women so they marry you.â If Negan wanted to see you annoyed, he was going to get it.
âOh, wow, doll.â  Negan gave you that dangerous smile. âSomeone has ever told you that youâre pretty charming yourself?â You just shrugged. âLook at youâŚyou kept doggy Daryl on his toes, uh? Yeah, you wore the pants, donât you, doll? Fuck him in the ass too?â
âIf thatâs what you wanted from me, you could have just say it,â you said, shrugging, trying not to let Negan get to you, and he chuckled.
âSo tell me dollâŚdoggy Daryl and you, was it love at first sight, uh?â Negan smiled, it was obvious that he was enjoying bugging you, you didnât want to talk about Daryl. âLet me guessâŚhe was fucking prince charming coming to the rescue and you fell right into his arms while your panties dropped to the ground.â
You really didnât want to talk about Daryl, but you couldnât help your snort, as you rememberedâŚ
âYou crazy bitch!â
âYeahâŚyeah, he was fucking prince charming when we met,â you said. âThe first time I saw him, he called me a crazy bitch and almost run me over with his bike, how could my panties not drop at that.â
ThenâŚ
You were running at fast as you could, panting, but those monsters were everywhere. A couple of days ago, someone in your town had started to show those symptoms that the TV was talking about, and now, it seemed as if the whole town had turned into monsters.
You didnât know what to do, monsters all around, when you heard what you thought was the engine of a bike. The road that crossed your town was a secondary one, barely anyone used it anymore, yet a bike seemed to be approaching.
You didnât know what else to do, and so you ran towards the noise. It was indeed a man on a bike, who had turned out to be Daryl, but you didnât care who he was, he was a human, someone alive, and you all but jumped in front of the bike so he wouldnât just keep riding.
Daryl slammed the breaks in time to not run you over, turning the bike, which skidded across the pavement and ended up falling to the ground, and you stared at it in horror. Great, maybe you had killed the only alive person around.
Daryl was okay, though, and he recovered quick.âWhat the fuck!â He yelled as he kicked the bike off him and got up, lifting the bike again and glaring at you. âWhat the hell are you doinâ, you crazy bitch?! Want to get killed and make me kill myself in the process?!â
âPlease, help me, please,â you had been too scared to react to his words. âPlease, please, theyâre everywhere.â
A few walkers were already making their way to the road, attracted to the sound. Daryl grabbed a crossbow that was attached to the bike and began shooting at them, putting them down without a word to you, and then he went to retrieve his arrows while you stood there, unsure of what to do. There was a bigger group coming and you gasped at it. Daryl noticed too, making his way back to the bike, swinging his leg over it, and you wondered if heâd ride away and leave you there, what would you do.
âCome on, ainât got all day!â he yelled at you and you nodded, rushing to get on the bike too.
No sooner had you wrapped your arms around him, tight, Daryl was already speeding up. He rode fast, faster than you had ever driven on a car, and it was a bit scary, you hadnât been used to bikes back then, even if now it felt almost like second nature. You held to him even tighter and even buried your face on the back of that stranger to not see everything flying around you. Daryl had tensed, though you had barely noticed, busy as you were wondering if you were going to fell off the bike and die, but you hadnât, and Daryl had kept riding for a long while, stopping only when you seemed to be in the middle of nowhere.
He shook you off him and got up from the bike, looking at you, and so you got up too, feeling very awkward now. âThank you,â you said when Daryl still just looked at you in silence. âYou saved my life.â
âYeah, and you almost killed me,â Daryl said harshly, lifting the side of his shirt slightly to inspect his skin, and you felt guilty when you noticed some bruises and rashes. âCrazy bitchâŚâ he muttered.
âIâm sorry, really, I am,â you apologized. âBut those monsters were everywhere and I heard your bike, I was afraid you wouldnâtâ see me and wouldnât stopâŚâ Or maybe that he wouldnât stop even if he saw you. âI thought that the monsters would tear me into pieces, the whole town is infected.â
âMine too,â Daryl murmured and you guessed maybe thatâs why he was on his own too.
âMyâŚmy family and friendsâŚtheyâŚI saw some and they had become those thingsâŚand others were getting eatenâŚâ You had been in shock and then you had been running for your life, you had barely had time to process all that, and now it all hit you so hard that breathing got hard. âOh godâŚtheyâreâŚtheyâre deadâŚtheyâre dead.â
You shook as tears filled your eyes and you gasped for breath, falling onto the ground as your legs stopped supporting you, and you buried your face into your hands. When you looked up, Daryl was just standing there in front of you, silent and awkward, chewing on his thumbnail. You remembered that he had called you crazy bitch. You guessed that he still thought you were that. But he was alive while everyone else seemed to be dead, and that was a plus.
âAre youâŚare you going to one of those refugee and military camps that they talked about on the radio?â You asked, trying to stop crying, and Daryl shook his head. âWhereâre you going then?â Maybe he had just been riding away from walkers with no destination, heâd said that his town was all infected too.
âIâm gonna find my brother.â
âOhâŚokay.â You guessed that it made sense, but it sounded a bit crazy and impossible, with everything that was going on.
You didnât know what to do yourselfâŚyou guessed you should try to go to one of those camps. You werenât near any, though, and if everything was infested with monsters, you werenât sure you could reach the place without being devoured, but you guessed that you couldnât do anything but try. You got up and looked around in despair, wondering where you were, where to go, and how.
âWhat you gonna do?â Daryl asked harshly while you kept looking around, and you let out a hopeless sigh.
âGo to one of those campsâŚcan you tell me where are we?â If he had a map to point it to you, itâd be so great.
âAlone?â Daryl asked and you shrugged and nodded, he could see that you were by yourself. âYou got no weapons.â You shrugged again. You didnât and you didnât know how to use them anywayâŚand by the way, who was this guy who wielded a crossbow and killed monsters as if it were nothing.
âYou..uhâŚjustâŚget on the bike again, if you wanna,â Daryl muttered, barely audible, getting onto the bike and turning it on.
âReally?âYou blinked at him.
âYeah, I ainât got all day, come on.â
You took a look at DarylâŚhe looked rough and harsh, you felt like he was trouble, he looked a bit dangerous too, in a way...he was big and strong, a bit intimidating if he might want to hurt you, but it hadnât seemed like so, for now at least. And he was alive, such a basic thing, but now it seemed to mean everything for you. Before, you wouldnât have gotten alone into a car with a stranger like him, but nowâŚnow you felt as if you didnât want to be one meter away from that crossbow-wielding, rough-looking, harsh-spoken, alive stranger.
âOkay.â You nodded. âOkay, thank you.â
Daryl didnât say anything else, just nodded courtly and awkwardly, you got situated behind him, feeling shy about holding to him now that you were not in panic.
âWhereâs your brother?â You felt like this looking for his brother thing was a bit reckless and dangerous, wherever his brother was, probably it was all infected too, maybe he was deadâŚbut sure you werenât going to say that to Daryl and be left on your own. He was alive, while everyone else around you seemed to be dead, so right now, being with someone alive seemed to be the best thing you could get.
âHe, uhâŚwas sent to the county jail, was uhâŚarrested a couple of days ago âŚguess they never made it to the prison,â Daryl explained as the bike kicked into motion, and you held tightly to him. âBut he canât be far.â
WellâŚthat really hadnât sounded promising at all, and you wondered why exactly had his brother been sent to jail, but you hadnât had much choice other than going with Daryl. Little did you know then the great decision you had made.
NowâŚ
âHe called you a bitch and almost run you over with his bike, and you got all wet? Who would have thought you were into that, darling,â Negan said and you rolled your eyes.
âIn all fairness, I jumped in front of his bike.â You shrugged. âI donât want to talk about Daryl.â
âNo?â Negan smirked and you shook your head.
âTwo nights with me and you already want to forget himâŚâ Negan chuckled and you did your best not to roll your eyes. âOkay, whatever you wish, darlingâŚthen come here and put that sweet tongue to a better use.â
Abby had told you that this would feel like routine at some point, but you didnât know when, and you couldnât wait for it to feel like that, or in any way that it wasnât how you felt then.
*
You had been at the Sanctuary for almost two weeks, and you had been called by Negan to sleep with him and listen to his bullshit more than a few times, but it still didnât feel like routine and you were starting to think that itâd never do and Abby had just said that to make you feel better.
The one wife for each day of the week thing had been, indeed, bullshit. Negan would call for any of you no matter the day, though he didnât usually had the same one in a row more than a couple of times, and most times he wasnât content with having just one of you.
During those days, you had seen the other wives talk shit about Negan and laugh at him while you all were alone, and then, when he was there, theyâd turn into the sweetest things, theyâd talk to him, laugh at his jokes, boost his ego, flirt with him, anythingâŚ
You didnât know how they did it, but it kept Negan in a good mood, and that was a good thing, an important thing, you knew it, even if you werenât able to do that. Also, when they did their best to get Negan happy, sometimes theyâd ask for things and heâd comply, whether it were stuff for them, like a book or something like that, or even stuff for the people that they had outside, a little bit more of food one day or a medical checkout without expending extra credits.
You knew you could take advantage of that too, if not for you, for your people, try to get something more for them out of this situationâŚbut still, you couldnât get yourself to do it. Whenever Negan called for you, youâd be annoyed and disgusted, and you didnât bother hiding it much.
You were now watching how Noemi, sat down next to Negan in one of the sofas, was listening with rapture, or at least pretending to, to whatever Negan was telling her about his day. She laughed whenever he did one of those stupid crude jokes, throwing compliments here and there, stroking Neganâs arm or face as if he deserved the tenderness, leaned into his touchesâŚyou were honestly impressed, you still felt like punching Negan whenever he touched you. Soon, Negan was getting up, holding Noemiâs hand and taking her with him to the bedroom.
âYou could do that too, you know? Heâd be nicer with you and get you things.â Lila told you, and Abby too had already told you how your life would be easier and you could get more out of this if you played nice, but you hadnât been able to get yourself to do it, so you just shrugged.
âYou never told me why are you here, who are you protecting?â You asked instead.
âNobody..well, myself.â Lila shrugged. âI have asthma, it can get pretty bad, I think Iâd have suffocated by now if Negan didnât find me my medication.â
âAnd in exchange, you only have to sleep with him, how nice of him.â You scoffed but Lila just shrugged.
âItâs better than suffocate.â
You rolled your eyes but didnât say anything, instead, you poured yourself a glass of wine and busied yourself with one of the magazines that you had there. If you were trapped there, at least you planned on emptying all Negan expensive wineâŚpetty, stupid revenge, but there wasnât much that you could do.
Later, Noemi came back, and she made her way to Amber, who was on another sofa, drinking. âSweetheart, Negan wants you to go now,â Noemi told her softly and Amber nodded but didnât move. Noemi took the glass from her hand, leaving it on the table, and then tugged her up onto her feet. âCome on, go, and donât cry again this time, okay?â Amber nodded in silence again, and made her way to Neganâs bedroom.
âHeâs going to kick her out of here if she doesnât get herself together,â Noemi said, flopping down on the sofa and taking Amberâs discarded glass of booze.
âYeah, well, he killed his boyfriend, he should understand her crying when he makes her have sex with him,â you scoffed but Noemi just shrugged.
âHe wouldnât.â
âYeah, no shitâŚâ

time
9:04 AM
Entryway
( eomma is leaving )
ho seok stands by the doorway, holding chin hae bouncing him up and down in his arms, watching you gather all your things. chin hae watches with his eyes furrowed together as his little finger points at you, leaning his small body towards you and looking at ho seok with such a confused look on his face.
( itâs as if chin hae knows eomma is leaving )
âiâll see you later, okay? donât worry too much! i know you can do really well!â you reassured, as you tip your head back, ho seok leans down and places a quick kiss on your lips * chuu *
âha yoon, ha eun. come here give eomma a kiss!â
the twins immediately scrambled to the entryway. attacking you with lots and lots of kisses all over your face ( so sweet like candy~ ).
you stood up,
âchin hae, give eomma a kiss.â you present your cheek to your youngest and tapping your finger against it,
( chin hae knows how to give kisses? )
/ slow motion / ( will he be able to do it? )
chin hae leans his whole body and placed a clumsy, sticky kiss to your cheek.
âthank you, chin hae. iâll see you soon, okay? bye-bye.â you wave shutting the door behind you hurriedly.
( 3... 2... 1... )
( chaos ensues )
not too long after, chin hae broke down into sobs and screams, pointing at the door and tears began to run down his tiny cheeks. babbling some incoherent words that seemed to sound like he was calling out for you.
âitâs okay, itâs okay.â ho seok rushes out of the entryway, âwhat is that?!â
( startled! )
chin hae stopped crying.
( what could it be? ) ( what kind of special weapon does appa hold? )
Living Room
ho seok points out the large window where it is overlooking the bustling whole city of seoul. endless cars. brilliant skyscraper. chin hae stares in wonder as he tries to fit his tiny fist into his mouth.
ho seok runs his large hand over chin haeâs small back and lightly patting it.
* amazement * ( appaâs distraction technique worked so well! )
âappa, where did eomma go?â asked ha yoon,
âeomma is going to work. appa doesnât have work today so, i get to spend time with you and do fun stuff!â
âare you not working forever? i want to play with you every day, appa.â ha eun mumbles.
âappa is going to work less from now on. i want to play with ha yoon, ha eun and chin hae too.â
âis that a promise, appa?â ha eun looks up at expectantly, holding out her little pinky finger to ho seok, who wrapped his own much larger pinky.
âyes. stamp.â they press their thumbs together, âand sign. ho seok says, ha eun opens up her palms as ho seok runs his index finger all around in squiggles.
( it is official! appa canât take it back anymore! )
{ authors note: in Korea, when you do a pinky promise, you curl your pinky together, âstampâ pressing thumbs together and âsignâ just signing. which to some kids make it official and canât take it back type of thing! }
ho seok: it honestly breaks my heart every time they tell me that they want me home more. there are so many things that i have missed out i feel, i want to bond with my kids and make it as memorable as possible. i donât want them feeling that they are unloved, that i am not putting in the effort or not wanting to be there. this show will help with that.
ho seok: ha yoon, ha eun and chin hae. letâs create lots of memory together from now on. * coo *
11:28 AM
Parentâs Bedroom
âwe have to get dressed up, okay?â ho seok says as he flicks through your shared closet that now took the majority of your kidâs clothes. chin hae who now didnât think about his eomma anymore rolled around happily on your large bed, scratching the bedsheets with his ever-growing nails. ( calm )
( where could the lee family going? )
/ zoom in on chin hae, ha yoon and ha eunâs clothing for the day on the bed as well as a pair diapers. / * awe *
/ a side by side photo of, ha yoon and ha eun similar clothing. / ( they are going to look so pretty and cute dressed alike~ )
âwhere are we going, appa?â asked ha yoon bounding into the bedroom, plopping herself on the ledge of the bed as she watches her appa with careful eyes.
( looking at appa with lots of adoration~ ) * coo *
âweâre going to a sanctuary today then weâre going to eat lots of food!â ho seok responds, as he undresses chin haeâs pyjamas and taking off his diapers then scurrying off the bathroom.
ha yoon follows.
( trotter, trotter )
Bathroom
âappa, whatâs a sancgary?â ha yoon mispronounced, standing by the door way.
âsanctuary.â ho seok corrects, âitâs where they take care of animals.â
ho seok quickly washes up chin hae, the little 6-month-old would occasionally reach out his small for the running water and be splashed on. chin hae throws his head back meeting his appaâs loving gaze and show off his gummy smile when ho seok grins at him. ( iâm having a lot of fun playing with water! ) * coo *
âis it nice there?â ha yoon continues to ask.
âyes! weâre going to meet lots of birds.â
with that ha yoon runs off once again ( sprints! )
âchin hae~â ho seok calls as the baby he had in his grasp swivels around by the sound of his name, âdo you like the water? hm?â
chin hae stares then smiles brightly. ( big smiles for appa! ) dipping his hand in the running water before splashing on ho seok.
âiâm soaked now, chin hae~â
( sorry, not sorry appa! )
Living Room
( rush, rush )
âha eun! ha eun!â ha yoon plops herself on the sofa beside ha eun ( oof ) who is entranced by the cartoons playing on the TV.
( fixated on cartoons. donât disturb. ) * laughs *
âha eun, weâre going to meet birds!â this caught ha eunâs attention.
âbirds?â
âyes!â
âcan we feed the birds?â ha eun ask, making ha yoon ponder before sprinting back to the bedroom.
Parentâs Bedroom
chin hae is wrapped up in a warm, fluffy blanket. ho seok laid out some toys to keep chin hae entertained all in while he gets the little 6-month-old ready for the day out, ho seok slips on his diapers.
warms up the baby lotion on his hand and lathers his hand.
( chin hae is fully bathed now~ )
ho seok in and presses his nose on his cheek and taking a deep breath in.
âchin hae, you smell so good now. eomma is going to be very happy!â ho seok exclaims,
âi wonder why, babies all smell really good and adults smell different.â ho seok mumbles to himself, âchin hae-ah, whatâs your secret, hm?â
chin hae smiles cheekily as the sound of his father calling his name.
( itâs called love from eomma, appa and noonas! ) * coo *
âappa! appa!â ha yoon screams who came barrelling into the room, crashing into ho seokâs calves.
âyes? yes?â ho seok says as he slips in chin haeâs shirt and trousers.
âare we going to feed the birds too?â ha yoon asked,
âyou have to ask the uncles and aunties who work there politely. you have to say, âcan i feed the bird, auntie, uncle?â, can you say it after me?â
âcan i feed the birds?â ha yoon follows her appa softly.
âgood girl.â ho seok praises, âha yoon-ah, can you call ha eun for me? you two have to take a shower before we go because the birds will smell you. auntie or uncle wonât let you feed the birds.â
âyes, appa.â
( did you start teaching them manner at a young age? )
ho seok: of course, i want them to have great manners and extremely polite. i also want the girls and my son to know that it is extremely important to ask for permission beforehand. itâs not okay to whatever you want because you just want to. teaching them that also makes them think too about what they feel comfortable with. it teaches respect. it starts off at the household, from eomma and appa. * amazement *
( who thought of it? )
ho seok: it was me and my wifeâs idea. we first introduced them to it by showing them, my wife would ask me âis it okay for me to use your bag?â then i would say yes or no. vice versa. kids are smart, they were able to pick it up immediately. as i said, it starts off with eomma and appa. * amazement *
( great parenting technique by lee ho seok )
âchin hae, you have wait here and play, okay? your noonaâs have to take a quick shower, yes?â
chin hae was preoccupied with the toys around.
( iâm busy, appa. )
just in time, his little girls came through the bedroom door.
âappa, are there cameras in the bathroom too?â ha eun ask glancing all over the room,
âyes, do you want me to turn it off?â ho seok ask,
âyes please. i am a big girl now.â
âokay, okay. appa will turn it off now.â
12:45 PM
Car
with that everyone was out of the house, showered and dressed for the dayâs activity. out of the apartment, everyone was now down in the parking garage getting ready to leave.
âis everyone excited?â ho seok asks as he buckles in chin hae into his car seat,
âyes!â the twins exclaimed excitedly as they climb on their own car seat in the minivan.
( they truly are big girls now! they can buckle themselves in without appaâs help~ ) * amazement *
/ zoom in to ho seok smiling at them. / ( proud appa! )
âchin hae, are you excited?â
( yes! )
( chin hae canât hold his excitement any longer! ) / zoom in to feet kicking back and forth / ( he canât contain it! he has to kick his legs )
âokay! appa has to check your car seat, okay?â
âyes!â
the twins raise their arms up in the air as ho seok closely inspect and make sure it is secure. ho seok ensured that it was firmly in place.
âgood girls. ha yoon, ha eun, you two really big girls now!â ho seok compliments making the twins beam in excitement ( proud big girls! ).
ho seok shuts the van door behind him and got onto the driverâs seat.
âare we all ready?â
âyes!â
/ zoom in on chin hae / ( yes appa! )
âthen letâs go!â
1:15
Sanctuary Entrance
ho seok had chin hae strapped against his chest, he also had a dark backpack on which contained all the essentials ho seok needed for his children such as bibs, their training chopsticks, diapers etc. while he adjusts carrier on his chest making sure that chin hae is comfortable.
ha yoon and ha eun stood by their fatherâs legs waiting patiently. * amazement *
ho seok: my wife drilled onto their heads to never run off especially in public, they always have to hold onto appa, eomma, uncle, auntie, grandma or grandpa's hand. we told them itâs because they can get lost and we would be very sad. it worked pretty well. * oh~ *
ho seok: though they are young still, it doesnât always work. i may be a little bit cruel too when they let go of me or my wife's hand... i hide on purpose. * laughs *
âalright, can you hold hands with appa?â ho seok held his hand out as the twins reach out.
{ author pop in: imagine a big beefy guy with his tiny cute childrenđđ }
âappa, did uncle camera want to see the birds too?â ha yoon says, pointing at the vj cameraman who is walking ahead of them.
âyes. uncle camera wants to see the birds. do ha eun and ha yoon want to see the birds?â
âyes! uncle camera, you have to ask the aunties or uncles if itâs okay to feed the birds beforehand, okay?â ha yoon repeats her fatherâs words. * amazement * ( ha yoon took the advice to heart! wow! )
âgood girl. you always ask if itâs okay!â ho seok compliments.
Sanctuary Booth
âhello,â ho seok greets the woman, âi booked tickets under the name lee ho seok.â
âyes. please give me a minute as i sort your ticket.â
/ zoom in ha eun goes on her tiptoes, desperately trying to see what the lady was doing behind the low counter. /
âauntie, is it okay for ha yoon, ha eun, chin hae, appa and uncle to feed the birds?â ha eun ask, ( how considerate of ha eun! )
âyes! itâs okay! but, you have to ask the workers for their food. donât feed them the food you are bought because they can get a stomach ache.â the worker informs as she prints off the ticket.
âyes. i will not feed the birds my sandwich and my juice.â ha eun nods determined.
âokay, here are your tickets.â the woman hands the ticket as ho seok bows politely.
âthank you very much.â ho seok turns to his twin girls, âletâs go!â
âthank you very much auntie.â ha yoon bows politely mimicking her father.
âhave a good day! drink plenty of water.â ha eun waves her hand before running to her fatherâs side and grabbing his hand.
* coo * ( the twins are so bright and polite! ) ( they speak so well too! ) ( they will grow up to be amazing girls ) * cheers *
Parrot Sanctuary
âhello!â ho seok greets the worker who had a colourful parrot resting on his arm, the twins look at the man in such awe ( uncle is so cool ) "say hello to uncle, ha eun, ha yoon."
"hello." the twins bows, ha eun hides behind her appa's leg and clutched onto his jeans ( ha eun is a little bit scared of the bird. ) while ha yoon bravely approaches the man and got on top of the bench. staring at the bird and flapped its large set of wings.
ho seok: you can still clearly tell the difference between them. ha yoon is the twin that always tries everything and is not easily scared. ha eun is a little more cautious when it comes to new things which okay, you just have to encourage her. ha yoon really takes after the unnie role and makes sure that ha eun is comfortable. * awe *
( ha yoon is such a sweet unnie~ )
"ha eun, come here." ha yoon calls for her sister patting the free space beside her on the bench, "it's not scary!"
"is it not scary?" ha eun looks at her twin for comfort who nods in confirmation and slowly ha eun approached ( hesitant ). sitting on the bench, ha yoon presents her hand out to which ha eun quickly accepts * laughs *
/ zoom in on their intertwined small hands / * awe *
"see, it's not scary!"
"i'm not scared because i'm with you and appa." * awe *
"chin hae, do you want to see the parrot too?" ho seok cooed as he carefully shifts chin hae in arms as he unbuckles the carrier so chin hae could a chance to see the parrot. once, chin hae is free from the carrier, he quickly swivelled around to inspect the unfamiliar place.
( freeze )
"dah!" chin hae points at the parrot,
"yes, it's a parrot. doesn't the parrot look pretty?" ho seok approaches the parrot and stood behind the girls, "ask uncle if you can pet the parrot, chin hae."
"app, it's rude to not ask for the parrot's name before petting them." ha yoon lightly scolded ho seok * laughs *.
( nervous )
"sorry, sorry. what is the parrot's name?" ho seok ask the worker slightly embarrassed.
"her name is, jeolla and yes you can pet her but just gently on her head."
"okay, chin hae, we're going to pet jeolla gently, okay?" ho seok held onto chin hae's wrists as he leans onto towards the parrot, he sticks out his index finger, ho seok let his tap the head of the parrot then quickly pulls away.
"wow! chin hae you just pet jeolla!" chin hae stares at his father silently then points his index finger once again.
"oh? do you want to pet jeolla again?"
"uncle, can i pet jeolla too?" ha yoon ask,
"of course!" the worker agrees as he holds the parrot closer to ha yoon and ha eun, unfortunately, ha eun didn't expect the sudden action and flinched. scooting away from the parrot. * laughs *
ha yoon scrambles not missing the opportunity to pet the parrot's wings and head ( ha yoon is so brave ), the parrot preened its feather, ha eun was startled even further when it did this. she grabbed onto ho seok's shirt like some sort protection.
( oh no, appa is the only protection from danger. )
"ha eun, it's okay. the parrot is not scary, can you try for appa? just once? if you don't like it, it's okay."
ho seok: we don't believe in pressuring them into things especially when they're uncomfortable. it just ends up with nowhere, we want them to try it out without force then let them decide for themselves.
( will ha eun bravely pet jeolla or will she stay within her comfort level? ) / slow motion /
ha eun bravely pets the parrot then quickly pulls away.
"good girl! that was really good, ha eun! appa is very proud of ha yoon and ha eun!"
"do you want to hold jeolla too? appa can go first if that is okay so, the kids can be more comfortable."
"yes, yes." ho seok agrees shifting chin hae to rest on his hip so he could have one free hand. the worker quickly help ho seok slip on the protective leather gloves.
"watch appa!" ho seok's children watch him with eager eyes, as the worker place the parrot on his free arm.
( appa looks so cool )
"appa, i want to try!" ha eun exclaims,
"you want to try? if you're okay with it then go for it."
the worker slips on a much smaller leather glove,
( how well will ha eun handle this? )
the worker carefully places the parrot, ha eun watched the bird rest on her arm cautiously.
"ha eun, you look so cool! well done!"
( let's do more cool things in the future appa! )

In this chapter: Continuation of the last chapter... Asmo gives Kitten a bath, featuring some fluff and hurt/comfort...
Part One  Part Two  Part Three Part Four Part Five Part Six
+++++ MINORS DNI +++++
Asmo carried you into his bedroom first, and then straight into his bathroom which adjoined it. It was one of his favorite places, he always told you. Â
The smells that hit your nose were sweet, and the air was warm and pleasant on your exposed body. You began to purr, tail flickering lazily, occasionally brushing against his body to make him shiver. The continued contact with another person always brought you comfort, so you curled up into him, pressing your breasts to his shirt, feeling small in his arms like you did with all your Masterâs when they held you or carried you. They were large demons, after all, and you loved to be coddled. Â
"Smells nice," you commented quietly. Â
Asmo smiled down at you. "I was hoping that these aromas wouldn't overwhelm that sensitive little nose~" he leaned down and eskimo kissed you, making you giggle. Â
He set you on a cushioned bench along the wall. As he sat you down, you squeaked and reached up for him immediately, your bum tensing up. "Ngg!" Â
The demon made a sympathetic sound. âOh Kitten, does it hurt?â He lifted you up again into his arms, careful to hold you at your thighs and back with each arm. You did, after all, still have that plug nestled inside of you, your hole throbbing around it. Â
You shook your head, pressing into his neck. âS-sore, âs all.â Â
âHere, letâs lie you down instead.â Â
He got a pillow and placed it at the edge of the bench, and lay you down on your side. The leash was still attached to your collar, and so you moved it to drape it so that didnât get in your way. Your Master would take it off, you were not permitted. Â
There were still some aftershocks from before, and you blushed remembering what happened. Cumming in front of all your Masters... So obscene, and really fun, too. Â
But now, as you watched Asmo pouring oils of different colors into the large tub, you made the realization of just what was about to happen, and it honestly started to scare you. Â
You had a fear of water. Or rather, a fear or taking baths. Of being dunked in deep water. So far you had only showered, and the warm rain-like water made you clean and felt niceâyou liked the rain, it was calmingâand you had room to breathe inside the shower. Â
The fear was like a dark smoke clogging your lungs, and every inhale made it harder to breathe. Memories of past baths at that terrible place began washing over your mind, and you whimpered, bringing a claw-extended hand to your mouth to keep quiet. Your Master wanted you to take a bath, you had to do it... Â
But Asmo heard your groan. His head popped up to face you from where he was kneeling over the giant tub. âKitten?â Â
His soft-spoken concern had you crying. You sniffled, and your voice echoed in the room, âNo bath, please!â Â
His orange-yellow eyes widened. âBaby, no, donât cry,â he begged, quickly rushing to you. He took your hand from your mouth and held it tight, stroking over your knuckles with his thumb. âWhatâs wrong, do you not want to have a nice bath?â Â
Your mouth stretched open into a wail, âNooooo-â Â
He hushed you, and pet your hair with his other hand. âLove, itâs okay, Iâm here. Please tell me whatâs troubling you, so I can help.â His hands kept caressing you, trying to alleviate your anguish. From your head to your cheeks, he was continuously touching you, grounding you. Â
Eventually he took a seat on the bench by your head, and you crawled into his arms, the plug in your butt was uncomfortable but it took a backseat to the emotional distress. Your hands curled around his neck, and your legs outstretched one way over his, and you cried for a little while, his arms rubbing your back and neck, his lips kissing your head and cheeks, shushing you softly. Â
âDarling, I have you,â he would say over and over. Â
Soon enough you were just shaking, and breathing slowly and with minimal trouble. Your face felt raw, as did your throat. You leaned back a bit from his body to breathe, and glanced at his face. His kind eyes stared into your own, and you gathered the courage to speak on the past that haunted you. Â
âThey-â you stuttered out, âw-would make m-me go un-nder. Hold m-me, h-hurt me...â Â
âYouâre talking about where you came from?â he said, tense as he held you. Â
âY-yeah...â you sniffled. Â
Flashes of âbeforeâ came behind your eyes. Dunked in a large basin with cold water, or too hot water. Your ears got wet and it hurt. They tore your tail with rough scrubbing, and your skin was fire hot and itchy. Â
You sobbed dryly. âI-Iâm scared...â Â
Asmo kissed your head. âDo you want me to go in with you? I can put on my swimsuit, or not. Whatever my Kitten needs.â Â
You nodded. That would be better, you thought. Having him close, your Master by your side. âPlease, in with me? Um, n-no clothes? But I donât wana play... Is that okay, Master?â Â
He cooed. âOf course, dearheart.â He reached around and grabbed your collar, the bell ringing, âletâs get this off, and then weâll go in the tub.â Â
The collar and leash were taken off, and he lifted you up as he stood. You gasped, not expecting that, and frantically gripped his neck, claws digging in a bit. He winced but said nothing. Then he set you down on the edge of the tub, and you stood on shaky legs. âPut your feet in and tell me if itâs too hot or cold, okay?â Â
You did as he asked, dipping a toe in, and it was perfect. You looked up at him and nodded shyly. âThe water is fine...â Â
He grinned. âPerfect!â He held out his hand, and you took it, and he helped you step in. âCareful, there are steps here to get in.â Â
You took a deep breath, each step making it harder. Eventually you were up to your breasts, and he got his clothes off quickly and slipped in the tub, too. Â
âWhy donât you go over here, beautiful, so I can take out your plug,â he pointed to the side. Â
You bent over the side of the tub, knees on the outer seating but still in the water, just a few inches of your back out of the warmth. He put his hand on your inner thigh and pulled you open, and then grabbed the plug to gently twist and pull. It hurt a little, and you clenched down. Â
âNo, no, love, you need to loosen up so I can pull it free. Bare down now,â he whispered. Â
You did, and it was easier then, and the plug came loose. Your bottom felt open and loose, and he softly rubbed his finger over your abused hole. âDoes it feel good, or bad?â he asked matter of fact. Â
You shifted from side to side, and winced. âHurts, not a lot, though.â Â
âHm, thatâs very good. Satan used plenty of lube. When weâre done, I'll put some lotion on it to help the aches.â Â
You settled back down, sitting carefully on your bottom. He came over and maneuvered behind you, and you felt him against your back, his cock wasnât hard but it was there, and you suddenly had a thought that you should please him. Â
âI-I...â Â
He understood, and placed his hands around your body, skin to skin, chest to your back, his head fitting to the side of your face. He was soft and warm. âItâs okay, we donât have to do anything. Let me wash your hair, and your tail if youâd like that.â Â
You were glad of that. You loved pleasing them, but the non-sex stuff you did with them was fun, too. Â
âPlease... I-I'd like that, Master...â Â
âAll right then, lovely kitty, weâll get your hair wet first.â Â
He cupped a hand over your eyes, and water was pouring over your head, and he was mindful of your ears, too. You were tense, though, and he paused after he did it the first time. âKitten, are you okay if I keep going?â Â
You swallowed with eyes shut tight. âY-yes. Just... my ears, please...â Â
âIâll be careful not to get water in them, I promise.â Â
He used a cup and poured it over your head, and was patient when you tensed up. He kissed your cheeks, and said how proud he was of you, how brave you were. It made you blush. Â
âSo sweet~â Â
âMaster, please...â Â
He laughed, and nodded. âOkay baby, now for the shampoo.â Â
He lathered up a sweet-smelling shampoo that was on the outside of the tub in a basket and scrubbed it on your scalp. You immediately leaned back into it. âI put some calming oils in the tub for you, and this is one of my favorite shampoos. It softens your hair and smells like cotton candy. You like sweet things, donât you, Kitten?â he teased. Â
You blushed. âYes, Master, I do...â It was known by now that you liked sweets. Cakes, candy, anything with cream. It was all tasty and you never got to have much. Â
âI love sweet things, too. Especially sweet Kittens like the one in my arms,â he bent to kiss your neck, and you shivered. It was a sensitive spot for you, your neck. He just hummed, âLetâs rinse this out, and then we can condition your hair.â Â
You were thankful he was telling you what he was doing. You still felt a nervous but having his hands caress you and guide you was perfect. Â
He finished rinsing your hair, and it was done. Then he did the same with conditioner, and it was all good, no water in your ears. Â
He pecked your cheek. âSuch a good job,â he praised. âCan I touch your tail?â Â
You nodded, and lifted your tail out of the water. âHere... âm sensitive at the base of my tail.â They sort of knew that, but you wanted to double check. Â
âOkay, thank you for telling me.â Â
He did the shampoo and conditioner and was very gentle, and it was nice to have your tail pet like that. Usually, it was just your ears that got pet, so this was a nice change. Â
âOkay, my dear, all done. Do you want to soak, or do you want out?â Â
âOut.â Â
He didnât laugh at how quickly you replied and instead helped you stand up. The water dripped down your nude body and the air felt cooling on your skin, your nipples hardening. Asmo didnât pay mind to that, either, and led you to stand on a rug. He put on a robe and tied it around his waist. You did see his mild erection, but right now you didnât want to do any of that. Your head wasnât in the right place, and thankfully your Masters were kind enough not to force you into doing things. Â
Asmo was rifling through the closet for towels, picking at them and shaking his head, looking for a specific one obviously. âI have a nice fleece robe for you, and cozy slippers. Do you want me to blow dry your hair, or let it dry naturally?â Â
You didn't like the sound of the blow dryer. âNo dryer,â you said adamantly. Â
He chuckled. âGot it, love.â He used a towel to dry over your body, and you let him, feeling pampered. The towel was so soft and fluffy. You purred, leaning into his touch. âUgh, you are the most precious little thing ever,â he cooed, kissing at your cheek. Then he grabbed a bathrobe, pink and fluffy, and put it around you loosely. Â
âNo underwear?â you asked with a frown. Â
âDo you want some?â he asked back. Â
You pursed your lips, and swished your tail back and forth. The robe was snug and felt soft on your body, so no, you actually didnât want underwear. Â
âNo thank you.â Â
He nodded. âWe have to put cream on your bum anyway, so come this way,â he held out his hand, and took you to his bedroom and had you lay on the bed on your belly. He left for a quick second, and then he was back and lifted the robe up and spread your cheeks open with one of his hands, your puckered hole tensing from the cool air. Â
âMaster...â Â
He hummed, and a cold finger glopped with something rubbed over your hole, dipping inside just so in order to curl and rub. He did this for a few seconds and then his finger was gone. âGood, thatâll help you feel better.â Â
You turned your head, and then decided to just roll over on your back. He came over to kiss your nose, and you swiped at his face with your tongue playfully, catching his chin. You felt warm and soft and floaty from the last hour of sex time and bathing, or it could have been longer or shorter, you were not totally sure. Â
âPlayful Kitten,â he teased. Then your stomach growled. He giggled. âHungry Kitten, too. It is dinner time.â Â
He frowned a second later, and sat on the bed next to you, grabbed his phone and started texting. You leaned over to see him messaging Beel for food. You whined. âCan I have sweets?â Â
âAfter dinner, lovely. We can all have some cake that Barbatos made.â Â
Your ears perked up. âBarb made cake?â your stomach growled louder, and your cheeks reddened. Â
Asmo cooed. âHe came by while we weâre in the bath to drop it off. I'm not sure why or what it was for, but it looks good. And Beel promised to save some for you.â Â
There was a knock on the door, and Beel peeked in after Asmo gave the okay to come inside. He held a plate of food, steaming and aromatic. His eyes ran over you, and he seemed satisfited with what he saw and stepped in fully. Â
âNone for me?â Asmo blinked, but he had a small smile on his face. Â
Beel frowned. âSorry, I only brought food for Kitten.â Â
Asmo sighed. âThatâs okay, I've been watching my figure lately anyway.â Â
Both your Masterâs sat on either side of you, and took turns feeding you. It was nice. You leaned back against the soft pillows eventually and yawned. Â
Beelâs large hand went to your head, and he smiled. âYou should sleep now after eating all that food. Your stomach isnât as big as mine.â Â
You yawned again, and smiled sheepishly. âYes, Master. Can I have a hug before bed?â Â
Beel grinned. He held you to his chest, smoshing you perfectly. He smelled like warm spices, and his hugs were some of your favorite hugs out of all your Mastersâ because he was so bigâmuscles, you meant, not fat. He did work out, and you also liked to lick his sweat from his pecs or neck. Â
The red-headed demon kissed your forehead, humming. Then his lips pressed to your cheek, and slid over to your lips. You licked at them for a second, tasting him, but he didnât let you in. That was okay, though. Â
âYou get hugs and kisses, little kitty. Always,â Beel said, and he pet your wet hair from your ears and smiled. Â
Cheeks flushed, you reached up to peck his lips in one last kiss. âânight.â Â
Beel took the plates and turned at the door to smile at you, âGood night, Kitten. Sweet dreams.â He shut the door as he left. Â
Asmo wiggled on the bed and whined. âMy turn for kisses now!â Â
You laughed. âYes, Master,â you leaned over and gave him several kisses on his soft lips, and one on his nose, your fangs grazing ever so slightly. Â
âKitty has such a lovely mouth,â he sighed. Â
You yawned, and reached for him. âCuddle me?â Â
He did not hesitate. âHow can I resist that face?â Â
He curled himself around you, his fingers went to your bare belly to rub circles, and it soothed your full stomach. His hair was wet at the ends and dripped on you, but you didnât care. This was exactly where you wanted to be. Â
âSleep tight, lovely,â Asmo whispered in your ear, right as you shut your eyes to enter dreamland. Â

Bath
Hiccup treats Astrid to a bath on their honeymoon. Like Heaven AU. Rated PG13 for some mild sexual implications.
âWhatâs this?â Astrid asked, shuffling into the dim hotel bathroom, where she was met with the sight of Hiccup lighting candles.
Hiccup turned around and offered a lopsided grin. âI know you like baths, and since we donât have a tub at home, and since this is our honeymoon, I thought it would be nice toâŚyou know, surprise you with one.â He dropped rose petals into the steaming, bubbly tub.Â
âWell, I appreciate it. But as you can see, the tub is big enough for twoâŚâ She raised an eyebrow and gave a flirty wink.Â
âOkay, Iâll join you. On one condition: You let me share some of this wine I poured for you.â He gestured to the wine glass that was sitting on the edge of the tub.
âDeal.â
As Astrid began undressing, Hiccup turned on the heat lamp before discarding his own clothes and following his wife into the bath.
A delighted moan escaped Astridâs lips as she leaned against Hiccupâs chest, bubbles lapping at her chin.
Hiccup gently massaged Astridâs neck and shoulders, occasionally allowing his hands to slip down and rub her arms. Pressing a soft kiss into her hair, he said, âNow milady, I just want you to relax. I got you, okay?â
âBut what about you?â she asked.
âShhh. Iâm not the one who craves a good bath. What would make me the happiest right now is if you would let me get you all massaged and washed up. I got a fresh bar of soap, some nice-smelling shampoo, and the perfect conditioner to get you a good, deep conditioning. With a scalp massage, of course.â He dug his fingers into her hair and rubbed her scalp.
Astrid closed her eyes and smiled. âJust like when we were in high school and youâd play with my hair while we were soaking in your parentsâ hot tub.â
âOnly now, no swimsuits required,â Hiccup teased. He cupped his palms and, after gathering water, gently splashed it into Astridâs head, soaking her hair. Then, he poured shampoo into his hands and went back to massaging her scalp.
âMmm-hmm.â She placed a hand on his thigh. âDo you mind handing me that wine, babe?â
Hiccup handed Astrid the wine glass. âHere you go. See? I told you I got you.â
âI never doubted you.â After taking a few sips, she reached up and put it back in its place, the heat lamp shining on her bare skin as she emerged from the water. âThe heat feels amazing,â she sighed, sinking back down into the bubbles.
âI thought youâd like it. I put your towel right under it, too, so it should be nice and toasty when you get out.â He continued working his fingers through her hair. âNo need to worry about shivers and goosebumps.â Hiccup pressed a kiss against her cheek.
âMmm. This is definitely one of your better ideas.â
âWhat do you mean, âbetter ideas?ââ
âWell, there was the time you decided it would be a good idea to drive across the entire island without a GPS. And there was the time you went out grocery shopping before I woke up, didnât bring your phone, ended up getting a flat tire and I couldnât find you because I didnât know where you went.â
âHey, both those things happened months ago.â He wrapped his arms around her middle and rested his chin on her shoulder. âAlright, your hairâs all shampooed. You wanna lean back and rinse?â
Astrid tilted her head back into the water and, after giving her a hair a good rinse, sat up and squeezed the extra water out.
âOkay, letâs get you conditioned now.â
âSounds good.â She reached for the glass of wine and took a drink before offering it to Hiccup. âYou want some, babe?â
Accepting the glass, he sipped the wine before placing it back on the edge of the tub and turning his attention back to Astridâs hair. After massaging her scalp again, taking care to check that none of the bubble bath suds had gotten caught in it while she rinsing, he poured conditioner into his palm and worked it through her golden locks.
âAlright, now the instructions say to let it sit for at least ten minutes before you rinse. So how about I get started on your body?â
Astrid nodded in agreement.
âIâm gonna get your back last, because I want to make sure you get a good massage before you get out.â He grabbed the bar of soap, lathered up his hands, and soaped up her arms.
âMmm-hmm.â She sank against his chest as he rubbed her arms, stopping at her hands to slip his fingers between hers. A smile crept across her lips at the feeling of his ring against her skin. Hiccup wasnât one to wear jewelry, but he happily wore his wedding band and swore on their wedding night that heâd never take it off.
After allowing her to rinse off the soap suds, he reached around to her front and allowed his fingers to graze her breasts. âDo you mind if IâŚâ
Astrid laughed. âOnly you would act awkward about touching my boobs on our honeymoon. Weâre married for Thorâs sake. Of course I donât mind.â
âHey, just because weâre naked doesnât mean you want me to grab your boobs. Maybe you were hoping for a perfectly innocent bath with me.â
âAnd when were we ever innocent?â
âWhen we were in high school.â
âConsidering you admitted to jerking off while fantasizing about what I looked like naked, and considering I stared at your abs at the beach, I wouldnât say we were innocent.â
âHey, Iâm sorry, okay?â
âYou know, if you wanted to know so badly, you couldâve just asked.â
âPlease, Astrid.â
âHey, we were close enough that I probably wouldâve flashed you my boobs if you really wanted to see them.â
Hiccup cupped Astridâs breasts. âAnd why am I just finding out about this now?â
âBecause you never asked, you muttonhead.â
âSo youâre saying I shouldâve asked? And risked getting punched?â
âI wouldnât have punched you!â insisted Astrid.
âAnd how was I supposed to know that?â
âYou couldâve taken a chance.â She leaned against his chest and let out a soft moan as he caressed her nipples with his thumbs.
âAm I turning you on?â smirked Hiccup, bending down to kiss Astridâs lips.
âWhat do you think? You know I have sensitive nipples,â she laughed.
âMmm-hmm. That was the very first thing I found out about your body. And lucky for you, Iâm a boob guy, so it all evens out.â He slid his hands down her sides, tracing her curves until he reached her thighs.
âDid you ever think about trying a whole body massage as foreplay? We could get oils and lotions and you could give me a nice rub all over?â
âIt hasnât crossed my mind, but if thatâs one of your fantasies, then Iâm all for it.â He splashed water over her torso to wash away the soap suds.
âBut do you think youâd like it?â
âOf course. Iâm down for whatever you are.â He winked. âAs long as I can see you naked and get fucked, you know Iâm perfectly content.â He lathered up his hands. âAlright, milady, letâs get your back scrubbed.â
Astrid leaned forward and, hugging her legs to her chest, rested her chin on her knees. âRemember when Iâd ask you to wash my back before we were a thing? And youâd pretend to be pissed but youâd do it anyway?â
âLooking back, I think me pretending to be pissed was my weak attempt at flirting with you.â He kneaded her shoulders.
âWhy didnât you just ask me to be your girlfriend?â
âIâve told you before. I didnât want to ruin our friendship.â He paused. âWhy didnât you ask me to be your boyfriend?â
Astrid shrugged. âIâd thought about it. But I didnât think you liked me like that.â
âI guess I shouldâve flirted harder.â
âI donât know about that. I think I was just blind. I mean, we were best friends for so long, I guess I didnât think that it was possible you liked me as anything else. Although I shouldâve known weâd end up marrying each other.â
âOh, yeah? Why do you say that?â
âFor one, youâd seen my bare ass too many times for things to really be platonic.â
Hiccup laughed. âHey, I wasnât complaining about that.â
âBut on a more serious note, I donât think either of us wouldâve ever really accepted having to grow apart like we wouldâve had to do if weâd married anyone else. We couldnât have kept having sleepovers, and movie nights, and casually cuddling. And we probably wouldnât have told each other everything anymore, considering weâd be busy with our spouses and wouldnât be spending all this one-on-one time together.â
âAnd how grateful I am that we can have a sleepover every night. Pajamas optional.â Hiccup winked.
âYou donât have to flirt anymore,â laughed Astrid.
âGotta keep the sparks alive.â He rubbed circles onto her back.
The blonde closed her eyes and let out a contented sigh. âSpeaking of pajamas optional, I was thinking of sleeping naked tonight.â
âI approve.â
âWill you do it with me?â
âIs that a trick question?â He kissed the space below her ear. âAlright, youâre all scrubbed and massaged.â After splashing water onto her back and freshly conditioned hair, he handed her the wine glass. âWanna finish this off before we get out?â
âOf course.â Astrid quickly drank the rest of the wine, then squeezed out her hair and started to rise.
âWait just a minute, milady. Remember? This was my treat to you. Iâll bring your towel to you first.â Hiccup climbed out of the tub and wrapped a towel around his own waist before grabbing Astridâs and holding it up. When she stepped onto the bath mat, he enveloped her in it and kissed her neck.
Astrid smirked. âTrying to get laid?â
âWell, if weâre going to bed naked, we might as wellâŚâ He reached under the towel and pinched her nipple.
âStop right there,â she cut in, winding her arms around his neck and pressing a hungry kiss onto his lips.

lazy river
request: hell yeah prompt list time! kissing john b in the rain for love and longing? love your content btw summary: itâs been a long time since youâve been to a water park. jon b knows this, and wants to change that.
pairings: john b. x reader
word count: 1.7k
warnings: super fluffy. real cute. might rot your teeth.
a/n: requests still open! i got an AP exam this week. i also have to finish a create task iâve had weeks to work on and havenât, so... wish me luck. big love!Â
Itâs just how you remember it as a child; all funnel cakes and water slides and screaming children and too hot pavement. Exactly where you want to be when summer's in full swing.Â
Probably the best unofficial date youâve ever been on.
You donât know how much money John B. had to save up in order to get you there, but the topping on the cake was his ability to score a free bus ride to and from going with a small church group. You'd never known him to be religious, but it was an eventful ride for the two of you. John B. was playing the role of full blown Christian boy, and it was so hard to hide your smiles and giggles that everyone must've thought you were his even more Christian friend. K-love plagued the speakers, and you and John B. agreed some of it wasn't bad, but most of the kids were insufferably nice, to a point where it was almost disingenuous. Standing in line with them was a pain, but as soon as you were able to, you two booked it off to the umbrellas, searching desperately for two lounge chairs. Maybe even one at this point. Anything really, until you found a small bunch of chairs left secluded by a family whose child was not having a good time. It was a perfect spot right under the umbrella allowing you to spread your towels out and leave the cooler by the chair. John B. was fast to attack the food in there; sandwiches, chips, fruits, cheese. You name it and JJ had gotten (stolen) it from somewhere for you two. âYouâre gonna get sick,â you commented, as he scarfed down a sandwich. The smell of sunscreen plagues the area. You rubbed some onto your face. John B. had miraculously thought of everything except spray on sunscreen, so you were forced to either buy some from the gift shop at a ridiculously inflated price, or use the lotion. âSick shmick. Do you want to go on some rides?â He says, wiping his dirty hands down on his towel. The towel that was supposed to wipe down his wet body. You grimaced, but then he slipped his shirt off and shimmied off his flip flops. He was so well toned and tan already. You canât imagine him wanting to get any tanner. âYes I do, actually. Can you get my back first?â You say, and wonder if John B. actually forgot the spray on sunscreen or opted for the lotion instead for this reason. His hands were firm on your shoulders as he applied the sunscreen, rubbing the taut muscle there and going dangerously low down your back. It sends a shiver down your spine and he can so obviously tell because he does it again to gauge your reaction. He ruins it though, by sending you off with a buddy pat on your shoulders. âLetâs do pirates plunge first,â he said, and it made you smile how excited he got. You wondered how long itâs been for him too. âNo,â you argue, âwe have to work our way up to that.â "Do NOT tell me you're planning on staying in the lazy river the whole time," he said, turning to where the middle aged adults who obliged their children lounged, floating leisurely under bridges and waterfalls. It made him shiver. "It's a great place to tan," you teased, and he glared at you. You smiled, and stretched upward. "You want sunscreen?" You ask, and he looks like he's about to say no, but he nods his head yes. His back is smooth under your hands, and you make sure to lather his shoulders up nicely. You hand him the bottle when you're finished, and he scoffed. "You only did half," he says. "You can do the rest," you assure, and he rolls his eyes, squirting a glob of cream onto his palm before smearing it over his chest. "This kind of half-assery won't be tolerated," he jokes, "I'm going to have to report you to the manager." "Oh please. You're the king of half-assery." He gasps as he rubs his palms down his face, leaving streaks of white there. "How dare you. You're fired." He claims, looking over to one of the smaller two-person slides. You lean over to him and rub in the white with your thumbs, cupping his face a little. He watches your face the whole time, which, you have to admit, is a little creepy. When you're done, you shove him for good measure, before taking off in the other direction. The sun beats down hot on your shoulders, and you two spend hours waiting in lines and talking and spending time together. You could see the burn on John B.'s face and expected you were going to feel the burn too later on that night. It was a blessing whenever clouds rolled through the sky, blocking out the sun for a brief period before she cleared them away. The rides were subpar, but you two didn't notice in the slightest, screaming and yelling at each other down the slides and in tubes. The two of you dodged children and concerned parents and other teenagers, bobbing and weaving in and out of lines. Dripping wet, bodies glistening in the hot sun, you two decided funnel cakes were in order. You stood in line as John B. toweled off by your seats, and he ducked under the belt to stand with you. It got him dirty looks, but he didn't notice. "When are the church kids leaving?" You pondered, stretching on your tip toes to look in front of John B., trying to catch a glimpse of any of them. "In like an hour," he says, glancing up at the big clock poised over the food shack. There was only one in the entire park, which must've been good for business. They were so hot when you got them that the powdered sugar on top was melting. But as you made your way back to your seats, you felt it. âOh no,â you whine, the water droplets on your bare shoulder. You turn to look at John B., but his gaze is not with yours. His eyes are on the sky, the grey storm clouds rolling in above. You sigh loudly. Itâs not like youâre afraid of getting wet. Of all the places to be when it rains, a water park ranks at least in the top ten. But now all the rides were going to be closed. For god knows how long. He looked back down at you, grinning, and then noted your crestfallen expression. He pouted. âWhy the long face?â He said, grabbing your chin and shaking it. You jerked away from his grasp to sulk. âOur day is ruined,â you grumbled, walking down in the direction of your chairs, planted conveniently under one of the large umbrellas. He jogged to catch up to you, intertwining his hand with yours. He swings it back and forth childishly. If he could, heâd probably skip down the concrete path to your area. "We have to eat these anyway. It'll probably be done by then," he assured. Much to your dismay, it was not in fact done by then. "That bus is probably going to leave early now," you mused, checking the notification app they made all of you download before you left the bus. âNo way. This dayâs not over. Itâs just getting started,â he said, plucking your phone from your grasp and burying it in the bag he had brought. He left the rest of the conversation to your imagination before he took off running, pulling you in tow. âHey!â You cried out, but you couldnât help the giggle rising out of your throat when he stumbled over his own bare feet a little. He hushed you as you caught up to him on the side of the lazy river. There was nobody in it. All the employees were at the front entrance of it, escorting people out. "Wanna do a river run?" He said, slipping down the ladder. Your eyes bulged. "They're gonna kick us out," you said, hopping in after him anyway. You two stood downstream, and waited for tubes. It only took a few seconds before John B. was passing you one, rain falling on his hair and chest. "Now it's cold," you complained, but John B. chastised you. "Stop being a baby. Hang on," he said, standing up for you to grab onto one of the handles of his tube. The lazy river in the rain was a lot more fun than a lazy river in the sunshine. It would only be a few minutes before you reached the front of the ride, where all the workers were stuck trying to collect the tubes. John B. was splashing water at you, and shaking your tube to get you to fall out. You return the favor by flipping him over near the waterfall. He came up sputtering, and in return tried to flip your tube as well, but you latched onto his neck. It was easy for him to support your weight in the water, and he grabbed your legs, wrapping them around his waist as the tubes got away from the two of you. They floated sadly down the river, under the waterfall by themselves. John B. chased them, hands supporting you, your arms wrapped around his neck. He moved slowly towards the waterfall, and threatened to throw you under it. You squealed and pushed yourself up against him as much as you could, cradling his head to your own. If you were going down, so was he. But he stopped just short. You pulled away just a bit, and he was looking at you, eyes intense, smile bright. Your heart skipped a beat and you swear you saw him move closer. You couldn't help but do the same. Until his lips were on yours, moving in sync with you, rain pelting your bodies. His hands were firm underneath you, and you knew he wouldn't let you fall. It had been so long since you realized you wanted to kiss him for the first time. You could settle for him kissing you. "I love you, you know that?" He remarked. You thought it was sweet, until he tossed you under the waterfall. You swear you could hear his laugh from under the water.

đ- alright last part of my poly hawks and mirko story, anyone have any requests for the next one?
You wake up to the sound of whisper yells,
âWe should wake her up, she needs to drink water and eat something! This whole week she hasnât been able to recover and she needs to eat!â You hear a voice say, you assume itâs Rumi but youâre too exhausted to check.
âShe needs some rest, and Iâm not gonna wake her up. She looks so peaceful,â you hear keigo say, arms tighten pulling you closer to his chest.
âBird brain stop trying to hid her with your wings,â
âNo, I cleaned up the apartment while you two were asleep, now itâs my turn to get my cuddles,â keigo whines.
Opening your eyes you look up at keigo, who doesnât even notice your awake. Rumi has a tray of food in her hands, and she is wearing a hoodie and shorts. You realize that youâre lying on Keigoâs chest, an arm wrapped around you.
â hi baby, you were so good to us this week, so so good. We couldnât have asked for a better wife,â Rumi says noticing that youâre awake. She puts down the tray of food and kisses your forehead.
âIâm sorry feather, did we wake you up?â Keigo asks, gently brushing the hair away from your eyes with his free hand.
You shake your head no, voice too sore to speak.
âHere baby, drink up. I bet youâre dying of thirst,â Rumi says grabbing a cup and beginning to pour some water in it.â Keigo, can you please help sit her up?â She asks brining the cup over to the both of you.
Keigo takes it from her hands, as you were about to grab it,âcome on feather, let us take care of you,â he says nuzzling his face in your neck as he brings the straw up to your lips,âyou were an angel for us this week, let us return the favor,â
You finish drinking and Rumi takes the cup from you, climbing ontop of the bed she holds out an unwrapped lozenge for your throat.
âThis will help baby,â she says plopping the sweet tasting medicine in your mouth.
âYou wanna eat first? Or take a bath? Or something else?â Keigo asks, sitting up straight, using a wing to help hold you to his chest.
âBath, please,â you ask as both Rumi and keigo smile.
âOf course feather, Rumi did you get the stuff on the list?â Keigo asks shuffling to the side of the bed, picking you up in his arms and standing up.
âOf course I did Keigo, â
âWait, what did you get? âYou ask, peeking up. They just smile.
âWell, We thought you might enjoy some pampering, so I got you some of those bath salts that are good for sore muscles, some face masks, and some other goodies for you,â keigo said, placing you donât on the bathroom counter.
âYou guys, you didnât have to, you both are the best,â your smile grew as you kissed them both on their cheek.
âWe wanted to, you were so perfect for us, so we wanted to pamper you. Now, let us take care of you,â Rumi says as keigo fills up the bathtub. They both strip down, and keigo steps in first, being careful with his wings. Once you and Rumi are in, keigo takes the shower head and gently begins to wash your hair, giving you a nice scalp massage.
You just smile, closing your eyes as Rumi begins to put the bath salts in.
âYouâre so pretty, how did I get so lucky for the two most gorgeous girls to stick around with me,â keigo says admiring you and Rumi.
âHmm. Youâre right, Iâll just take my baby bunny and leave you,â Rumi says jokingly grabbing your hand and kissing it.
Keigo scowls and shields you from rumiâs sight,âno. Mine. Both of you are mine, and Iâm yours.â He grumpily says as Rumi laughs and tries to move his wings out of the way.
âI know bird brain, Iâm just joking. I love you both,â
âI love you both too,â you say as keigo rinses the shampoo out of your hair and starts to put conditioner in.
You try to reach for his shampoo or rumiâs when they stop you,âthese next few days are about you, not us. âRumi says grabbing your hands and kissing them.
You go to argue but keigo stops you,âno ifâs, andâs or buts,â he says as Rumi begins to lather your body up with nice smelling soap.
âWhat kind of food do you want for later, I know you like miso soup? I picked up some of your favorites from the store?â Rumi asks, as keigo rinses the conditioner out of your hair.
âWe can order out, pick up that meal you really like,â keigo adds, kissing your face.
âOrder out please?â You ask, leaning your head against Keigoâs chest.
âAnything for you feather,â
Rumi stands up, and gets out first,âwait here, Iâm going to get some towels and bathrobes.
Keigo turns you to face him, âhow many times have I said that I loved you today?â He asks with a smile on his face.
âAt least ten,â you say
âHmmm, thatâs not enough,â he says kissing your nose,ânothing I ever do will be enough to show how much I love you,â
Rumi comes in with a bunch of fluffy towels and bathrobes.
âCome on keigo, donât hog them, and the water is getting cold,â she says holding out a towel for you. Keigo picks you up and places you in the ground, his hands around your waist, supporting your body weight.
âDo you think you can stand?â He asks.
âI got this ,â you say, as keigo loosens his grip around your waist. Your legs immediately buckle and both keigo and Rumi grab you.
âOkay, maybe I was a bit overconfident,â you say laughing. As Rumi wraps you in a towel.
âYouâre gonna give us a heart attack one day.â Keigo says as Rumi carries you in the bedroom, gently tossing you on to the bed.
Keigo is carrying a basket with lotions and leave in products.
They spend the next hour just massaging you, you can barely keep your eyes open by the time theyâre done.
By now itâs around 12 pm, youâre dressed, had something to drink, showered and currently youâre bending fed chicken ramen with mushrooms, egg, and lots of veggies, with chicken. Wrapped up in their arms as you listen to the go back and forth, Rumi calling keigo a cannibal when he eats some of the chicken, and keigo telling Rumi that if she keeps thumping her foot on the floor there is gonna be a hole. They love play fighting, and you love watching them playfully banter. Cause at the end of the day, you three are curled up together, underneath a pile of blankets, watching movies together.
pls keigo gets so clingy and baby like after his rut all he wants to do is scoop you up in his wings and make a little nest with you :((( he makes room for rumi too n cuddles his babies into his chest aaaa brings you both shiny gifts because he wants you guys to know how grateful he is and how much he adores you !!! rumi pampering you both and letting you help wash keigoâs big wings and his hair aaa heâs literally you guyâs baby!!
rumi dressing you up in her clothes and spoon feeding you while kei just clings to your side and Does Not Leave im in love <33

~Mental Health and Hygiene~
Being in quarantine these past few months have taken a toll on my mental health. Often times I find myself feeling tired, sluggish, bored, and unmotivated. This makes it difficult when it comes to taking a shower at the end of the day. Iâve skipped the shower more times than I care to admit, and Iâm working on getting back into my normal routine, so that I can feel better.Â
Multiple social media sites have posts on tips, self-care, etc for when youâre dealing with depression. I was inspired by these posts and have decided that I want to make my own. The purpose of this is to help guide you back into a normal hygiene routine. Thereâs no judgment here. Helpful comments and tips are welcome to be added, and please never feel embarrassed if you have questions about the things I write in this post. Iâm here to help anyone who needs it!
*****
How long has it been since youâve taken a bath or shower? A day? A few days? Maybe a week or more? Thatâs okay. Life can be challenging sometimes and cause us to neglect our basic needs. Hereâs what you can do to kick start yourself back into keeping up with your hygiene. We have to start somewhere.
Pre-Shower:
1. Brush out your hair and throw it up into a bun or ponytail. Donât worry if itâs super dirty. Brushing it out will distribute the natural oils in your hair, get rid of excess dead/stray hair, and most importantly make it easier to wash.
2. Apply a face mask. This step is optional. If you donât have a mask, or simply donât have the energy for it, skip it! I personally like to do this step because it makes my face feel extra clean, plus itâs fun! You can use any type of mask you want; hydrating, purifying, clearing, etc. This is mainly dependent on what your skin needs. Iâve been using a purifying mask from Neutrogena that has salicylic acid in it, which helps clear up my skin.
3. Hop in the shower! Once your mask has dried, remove your clothes, let down your hair, and hop on in.
In the shower:
1. Rinse your hair and body thoroughly. If you chose to apply a mask, gently massage it off before rinsing off your body and hair with warm water. Warm water is the best option because it will help properly clean you, especially if you have excess sweat, oil, dirt, etc on your skin and hair. Too hot of water is going to dry your skin out, and remove your hair and bodyâs natural oils, which we need because they protect the hair and skin.Â
2. Double cleanse your hair. Not everyone may no what double cleansing your hair means, so let me explain. Something I prefer to do when my hair is super oily and dirty is double cleanse it. After itâs wet, I go in with either a detox/clarifying shampoo or Head and Shoulders in the classic scent. This helps remove that first lather of yuck on your scalp. Then I rinse that out and use a tiny amount of conditioner on my hair and rinse it out right away. This helps grab onto shampoo to make sure your getting it out of your hair completely. I learned that from my hairdresser! After the first cleanse, I go in with my normal shampoo. Any kind will do, just use what you like! Sometimes Iâll let the shampoo sit in my hair for a minute or two before I rinse it out so it has a chance to break down any buildup before I rinse it out. Then follow up with conditioner and put your hair up and let it sit. Now I know this seems like a lot, and I wonât lie, itâs going to take extra time. But it really will make a difference in how clean your hair feels when youâre done. I also think this would be a great way to really clean your hair and scalp if you havenât had a shower in some time. If your hair isnât as dirty, I suggest shampooing and conditioning like normal. This step may be different for everyone depending on hair type, texture, how oily and dirty it is, etc.
3. Wash your body. Now I have a separate soap for my chest and back, as well as one for my downstairs area, so you can skip whichever parts of this that arenât necessary for you. If youâre feeling extra dirty, I suggest taking some soap; Iâd suggest Dial body wash, menâs body wash (because the scent is strong and can eliminate odor), or even a bar of soap and first cleaning the parts of your body that hold more moisture and odor. Under your arms, underneath your breasts, inner thighs, back of the knees, and feet. Rinse that off and go in and wash your body normally with whatever nice smelling soap you like. Now if you have a vagina, take a clean washcloth, put some soap on there (try to stay away from heavily scented products! An inexpensive wash Iâd recommend for down there is Dove sensitive skin body wash or bar soap, or even the plain original Dove.) The main thing I want to say is be gentle! Even if you havenât showered in a while, donât go scrubbing your vagina off! Thatâs going to cause irritation and no one wants that. Rinse the area with warm water first, wash the exterior of the vagina gently with mild soap (donât go crazy with the soap either, use a good amount but sometimes less is more!) and rinse thoroughly. No need for harsh scrubbing.
4. Rinse with cool water. Your face is clean, your hair and body is clean, so guess what? Youâre all done! Rinse out the conditioner in your hair and if you want or have the energy, rinse off with cool water. This not only feels good but can help cool your body down before getting out of the shower, and it makes your hair shiny!
Before I move on to what you can do after the shower, I want to make note of a few things. I purposely left out extra steps like exfoliating, shaving, hair masks, and other pampering tasks because when it comes to dealing with depression, extra things like that arenât always doable. If you have the extra motivation to do these things, donât let me stop you! Iâm not saying donât do these steps if you want too, what I am saying is that the steps I listed will be more than enough to make sure youâre clean and smelling good. Keep it simple for a while. When you are in a better place and have a more consistent routine, then add in those extra steps. For now focus on getting in, getting clean, and getting out.
Post-Shower:
Again I want to say if you need to simplify any of the steps, please do. Itâs okay if you arenât able to moisturize your whole body. I get it, it can be hard.Â
1. Moisture face and body. If its the day time I suggest using a face moisturizer with spf in it, or applying it afterwards if all you have is a plain one. Then take the time to moisturize your body with whatever type of lotion or cream you prefer. I make sure to at the very least moisturize my feet, hands and elbows, chest, sides, and stomach.Â
2. Cool down before applying deodorant and getting dressed. If not youâll end up just sweating it off, especially now that itâs summer. Cool down, air your body out, then apply deodorant, let that sink in, and get dressed. I swear thereâs nothing better than being clean and putting on a fresh pair of socks and underwear!
3. Spray some perfume or body spray. This is completely optional and you donât have to do this, but this step makes me feel good personally. If you do choose to do this step, make sure not to overdue it. A few spritz is all you really need.Â
4. Finish up. The last few things Iâll do is comb out my hair and let it air dry, clean out my ears with q-tips, and lastly hang up my towels.
****
That is it for my routine! I hope this will be helpful for anyone is is currently struggling. Like I mentioned in the beginning of this post, if you have any questions about hygiene or any questions on what I wrote, donât be scared to come and ask me about it. Thereâs no judgement here.Â

Swing the Bat Both Ways
Pairings: Dean x F!Reader & F!Reader x Female (eventually)
Warnings: SMUT, oral (female and male receiving), unprotected sex, language, praise kink, bi!reader, more submissive with dean, more dominant with new female
You guys were out celebrating after a successful hunt- Team Free Will and yourself. A coven of vampires were now a coven of dead vampires and adrenaline was still pumping for everyone. You guys were able to get two hotel rooms this time- Sam and Dean in one and you and Cas in the other- so you retreated to your respective rooms to take showers and get cleaned up before you head out to a local bar. Cas was able to blink himself clean so he let you have first dibs at the shower, a fond smile on his face.Â
âI know you want the hot water, anyways.â He said, handing you a suddenly warm towel and a stack of nice clothes that he thought you might like.Â
âYouâd be right, angel. Thank you.â You leaned forward to press a soft kiss to his cheek before taking the items from him and heading to the bathroom, quietly shutting the door and turning on the water to get warm as you undressed.Â
Soon enough you were nude and stepping into the steaming tub, pulling the shower curtain shut behind you and stepping under the warm spray of the water. You were humming an old tune as you grabbed the vanilla shampoo and squirted some into your palm before lathering it together and running it through your hair. Sam had convinced you to cut it a couple weeks ago and you still weren't used to your hair not reaching your hips anymore; it now barely reached under your ears, but it was still floppy like you liked it. While that soaked, you grabbed your loofah and covered it in honey-scented body wash and started scrubbing at your filthy skin- leaving it rosy and clean once you were finished. Your legs were already smooth from having shaved the night before so you just took a couple of swipes under your arms with a razor so you were smooth everywhere. Once that was done, you rinsed out the shampoo and slathered in the conditioner, using the time to exfoliate and let the warm spray work out some of the kinks in your muscles. Eventually you were done- soap out of your hair and off of your body- so you turned off the water and stepped out to grab your towel and dry off.Â
âYou hungry?â Cas called through the door, waiting for your reply as you dried off and wrapped the towel in your hair.
âYeah, Iâd just like a sandwich and some grapes though, please.â You called back, pulling the lotion out of your bag and rubbing it into your legs, arms, and torso.Â
âItâs ready when you are.â He answered a moment later and walked away, letting you have a moment to slide the black panties up your legs and buckle the black push up bra around your chest.Â
âThanks, angel!â You called back, sliding your feet through the holes of your hole-ridden skinny jeans and yanking them up your legs to settle at your hips. He had gotten you a matching soft button-up that you left buttoned right below the start of your bra to teasingly show off your cleavage. Dean had gotten you a long necklace with an anti-possession symbol that you could wrap extra, depending on the length that you wanted. You left it sitting right at the top of your chest, two extra loops above it for extra style. Once you were dressed, you collected your dirty clothes and opened the door- revealing the brothers eating their dinners while Cas talked about a possible case in Nevada.Â
All of their heads turned at the sound you made, but they were all quiet. Sam whistled in approval as Dean choked on his burger, coughing as he tried to swallow and come up with a coherent sentence.Â
âDo I look okay?â You were suddenly shy, looking down at your outfit with worry before glancing back up at the three of them.Â
âSweetheart, you look more than okay.â Deanâs voice was husky and low, eyes trailing down your body like a lover would do with their fingertips.Â
âYou look beautiful.â Sam agreed, eyeing his brother curiously.Â
âI knew you would like it.â Cas was smiling happily, taking pride in his growing understanding of female attire.Â
âGive me ten minutes to do my makeup and hair, and Iâll join you for dinner.â They all nodded but Dean didn't look away, watching your hips as you turned around and groaning quietly as the curve of your ass came into full view.Â
True to your word, ten minutes later you were sitting between the two brothers with your food half-way gone and full-on laughing at something Cas had said. You had done easy makeup- mascara and nude eyeshadow to make your grey eyes brighter- and light hair gel to keep your hair tame as it dried (straight, as always). Sam was finished with his food first, and he went to grab his shoes and wallet from the adjacent room while the rest of you finished eating and cleaned up so you wouldn't have to later. The guys got the rest of their stuff together while you bagged up everyoneâs dirty laundry and grabbed your favorite pair of heels from your duffel. Cas disappeared for a couple minutes to clean your clothes and it gave you enough time to grab your jacket and slip on your shoes, yet you were still inches shorter than the guys.Â
âReady?â You asked, sliding your arms through the leather jacket and tucking your wallet into the inside pocket.
You got affirmations from everyone so you each grabbed a hotel key before heading out, Sam in front then Cas, you, and finally Dean. He made sure the doors were locked and that the salt lines were secure before turning and following after you guys. You felt a hand at your arm so you turned around, curious as to what Dean wanted.Â
âWhatâs up?â You asked him, watching the other two disappear down the stairs.Â
âYou look amazing, sweetheart. Iâd like to⌠steal you away for a while, later tonight. Does that sound good?â His emerald eyes had darkened considerably at the idea of seeing you out of that amazing outfit, but he would always give you the option.Â
This set-up wasnt new to the two of you, ever since you moved in with the Winchestersâ, you and Dean had an agreement to fool around if neither wanted a stranger in their bed for the night. It had saved you many countless attempts with terrible hook-ups and it always made you both feel better in the morning because you were waking up next to someone that cared for you.Â
âThat sounds good, De.â You smiled cheekily, confidence having boosted ten notches knowing that the older brother wanted you in this outfit.Â
âPerfect.â He leaned forward, giving you time to back away, before cupping your cheek in his hand and pressing a searing kiss to your lips as a promise for later.Â
~~~~~~~~
Music was blaring from the building as you showed the bouncer your IDs, flashing him a smile and a wink when he had to double-check your license. You were legal and beautiful and thatâs all that mattered, especially when it meant cutting line to get in somewhere. He handed them back and let the four of you inside, shooting you a wink as you passed. You dipped your head in acknowledgement as you headed inside, letting the smell of alcohol and sweat and sexual tension settle into your bones. Your hips started to sway of their own accord, the beat of the music flowing through you and pumping up your adrenaline again, but in a new way.Â
âTo the bar and then find a table?â You asked, pulling ahead to look at them.Â
âSounds good, weâll get the drinks if you guys want to find us a table?â Dean said, hoping theyâll take the hint and disappear.Â
âCall if you canât find us.â The place was packed so that was a good possibility, and you nodded.Â
The other two disappeared, leaving you and Dean to weave through the people and make it to the bar. He grabbed your hips as you walked, thumbs sliding under the bottom of your shirt to brush teasingly against your soft skin. You let out a sigh but didn't falter, taking the lead and managing to get you both to the bar with ease.Â
âWhat can I get you, doll?â The bartender called over the loud music, her hair in loose braids and glasses tipped low on her nose.Â
âFour shots of tequila and four beers.â You called back, flashing her a smile as she took your order and your card for the tab.Â
âBe right back.â You could see a flush cover her skin as she turned, heading to grab your drinks and open a tab in the last name âWinchester.âÂ
Dean had pressed up behind you and you wiggled your hips teasingly, basking in the groan he let out and the grip that tightened at your hips. He pressed closer, letting the curve of his hardening cock nestle into the swell of your ass.Â
âBetter stop that, sweetheart.â He whispered in your ear, nipping gently at the lobe and grinding once and then twice.Â
âHere you go, darlinâ.â The bartender was back in an instant, drinks on a tray and salt and limes in a bowl.Â
âThank you!â You called, grinning wide as you took the tray from her, fingers brushing against skin softer than your own. You saw her eyes fall to your lips and then even lower to your barely open top before shooting back to your eyes, a blush evident on her cheeks again.Â
âIt looks like someone has a thing for you, baby.â Dean chuckled, taking the tray and leading this time as you followed, turning around once to see the bartending still watching you.Â
âSheâs cute.â You replied, a knot forming in your lower abdomen as you thought about testing out the waters to see if he was being honest.Â
âWe can fool around in the bathroom and then you can have her, I think I found my own prospect for the night.â This was common, too- you and Dean messing around as foreplay and then going after your prospective women for the main course.Â
âThat sounds amazing.â You turned around again, biting your lip as you saw the bartender still watching with a soft smile on her lips.Â
âIâll take these to the guys and Iâll meet you back there.â You nodded, turning on your heel and heading towards the bathroom at the opposite end of the loud bar. On the way, the cute bartender flagged you over to the end, and you obliged, eager to see if she was interested.Â
âIâm out of here at midnight, doll.â She whispered in your ear, pressing a quick kiss to your neck before pulling away with a wink and a bright grin.Â
âIâll be here at 11:59 then.â you replied, running a hand through your hair as the nerves running through your body picked up considerably.Â
Being with girls wasnât new- frankly you favored it over most men- but she was beyond beautiful and just your type. You ducked into the bathroom, locking it and waiting impatiently for the three knocks that meant Dean was on the other side of the door. He sounded off two minutes later and you quickly unlocked it before yanking him inside and shutting the door again.
He was laughing as you pressed him against the wood, arms snaking around his neck as he took the lead and flipped you guys so it was your back pressed against the door and his thigh pressed between your legs.Â
âYou were right, De. Sheâs off at midnight.â You groaned, rocking wantonly against his thigh as he pressed bruising kisses to your lips and jaw. His hands were wondering all over your body- fingers undoing to the buttons to your shirt and sliding it off your shoulders so he could pepper your sensitive skin with licks and sloppy kisses as your own hands dug into his shoulders and raked down his back hard enough to only leave light red marks. You knew most girls didnât like knowing that the man they were fucking had just been with another woman, so you took it easy.Â
âIâm gonna eat you out, princess, and then youâre going to get on your knees and take me down your throat and then weâll get back, okay? I know you want to leave the rest for that bartender.â He was gasping and growling, fingers moving from your tits to the waistband of your skintight jeans to undo the button and yank them down to your knees.
âYou would be right.â You whimpered, laughing quietly as he pulled you from the door and bent you over the sink so he could get behind you and press kisses to your back and thighs and squeeze at your ass cheeks. He always was an ass man with you, if that wasn't already obvious.Â
âGod, itâs so damn hot thinking about you eating out another woman. Having her begging for your tongue, fingers tangled in your hair, knees holding your head and heels digging into your back as you fuck her with your mouth.â His words were sinful as he yanked your lacy panties down to meet your jeans and pulled you back to his mouth to do the exact thing to you that he was just talking about.Â
His favorite thing to do when you were rushed was eat you out from the back, one hand snaking around your thighs to rub circles into your clit as he buried his tongue deep inside you. Your legs buckled and head fell forward as you rode his mouth, fingers clenching at the marble of the sink as you fought your orgasm to make it last as long as possible. His hands grabbed both hips then, urging your movements as he moaned intentionally to stoke the fire in your belly.Â
âYouâre gonna make her cum for you just like Iâm about to make you do for me.â He promised, knowing the signs of your impending release like being able to read the time on a clock.Â
âOh, Iâm gonna do more than that.â My tone was weak though, hips rocking even faster against his tongue as my climax was peaking without me being able to stop it.
âGod, De, Iâm about to cum.â you said the same words over and over, body convulsing as the nerves rushed through your body and you came faster than you ever have before.Â
He swallowed down everything you gave him, tongue stoking the fire until you were pulling away from too much stimulation and turning to fall to your knees so you could suck him off. He didnt stop you; rather, he grabbed at the sink as you unbuttoned his jeans and yanked his own jeans down, his hard cock slapping against his stomach and leaking a steady stream of precum down the impressive length.Â
âSuch a pretty cock, Dean Winchester.â You knew it did things to him when you used his full name and you saved it for times like these.Â
The resounding groan and âfuck, babyâ settled into your bones as you began to stroke him with a turn of your fist at the top of every upstroke. This lasted for only four strokes before he fisted your hair and you opened your mouth- tongue out- to take him into your mouth and down your throat. You had no gag reflex, which he loved, so you let him fuck your mouth for a couple moments before taking back over. You batted his hand away and resumed your own pace, tongue tracing along the sensitive skin on the underside of his cock and paying special attention to the head and all of the nerves that surrounded it.Â
âGod, youâre so good with your mouth. No wonder it always gets you in trouble.â He chuckled but it caught on a moan and a shiver as you bottomed out on his dick, balls brushing your chin as you tongued every inch of him before pulling off with a tight âpopâ and giving a quick lick across the top to tease him.
âYou love it.â You snarked, bottoming out again and breathing through your nose as you got him off like this. His hips snapped forward on every pull, constant moans and curses leaving as he teetered on the edge of his own orgasm. Dean nodded eagerly as it only took two more licks and one final suck to have him coming thick ropes of cum down your throat. He had to cover his mouth to cover the loud noises he always made, but you loved them just the same as you let him finish and then pulled off gently to help him clean up and then clean yourself. He was panting as he helped you to your feet and held you steady as you tugged your panties and jeans back up to rest on your hips once more.Â
âI always love it.â He was laughing, using one hand to tip your chin up so he could press a quick kiss to your lips before pulling away.
âLetâs get cleaned up and go meet the guys. Youâve got a date to catch.â You smiled wide, eager for it to get started, as you both became presentable once more and went to the Team Free Will table.
Reblog, comment, and let me know if you guys want to see her with the bartender! Please no copying of my work on different sites, this is original work!Â
Much love xx

starstruck (4)
Here it is... finally! Itâs ~angsty~ but it was really fun to write.Â
I will say, I realized while writing this that the timeline of this fic is sooooo short but hey, its fiction, so I guess anything can happen lol. I tried to resolve it in later chapters but itâs definitely quick moving in these initial chapters.Â
Thereâs a lot of italics in this one lol
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3Â Chapter 4 Chapter 5Â Chapter 6Â Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9
Fandom: Thomas Stanley Holland
Ship: Tom Holland x Reader (eventual)
Setting: LA in general
Word Count: 2240 yeet
Warnings: angst, some mild language
Rating:Â still k+ right now
Last time on starstruck...
âHey whatâs going on? Uh huh. No, we actually have it handled. I might or might not be with her right now⌠no itâs fine. Seriously, we are laying low! Weâre on the way to the hotel right now. Alright, alright Iâll see what I can do. See you in a few.â
And with that, he hung up, turned to you, and said, âThat was my manager. Apparently weâve got a problem.â
                            __________________________________
You pulled underneath the awning of the posh hotel Tom was boarding at, the kind of place you only dreamed of staying.
Sure, your family wasnât poor, but your parents definitely werenât the type of people to spend a lot of money on hotels. They claimed to enjoy spending more money on the âfunâ parts of vacations than where you slept at night.
To each their own, you supposed.
Tom wanted you to come inside, per request of his manager, so you figured you would drop him off and park so you wouldnât be seen together.Â
The valet had other plans, however, pulling you out of the car and exchanging your keys with a numbered slip of paper.Â
It all happened so fast that for a moment you just stood there, stunned. You snapped out of it when the man began to drive off and Tom grabbed you to lead you inside.
The lobby was massive and covered with marble flooring. A large, plush rug covered many of the tiles and on top of it sat some luxurious couches and armchairs, framing a huge TV on the wall.Â
On the other side was a long marble counter that seated hotel staff, who stood at the ready upon seeing Tom.
You also couldnât help but note the smell, a light, sweet floral scent wafting through the air pleasantly.Â
This must be rich people scent you thought to yourself.
Due to the nature of it being midday, very few people were seen in the lobby, and Tom led you straight through to a hallway and past the main elevators, his hand resting on your lower back the entire time.
âI have access to a service lift so less people will see,â he explained, as if heâd just read your confused mind.
You walked briskly with Tom through the winding hall, finally ending up at the alternate elevator, where he swiped his key card and the doors slid open with a few creaks.
You tapped your foot nervously as you passed floor by floor, letting go of a breath you didnât realize you were holding upon reaching the top.
Once again, you followed behind Tom through the hall and to his room. You stood awkwardly in the doorway, clenching onto the straps of your beach bag, as he entered to find more suitable clothing.
After disappearing for a moment, he popped his head back out.
âYou can come in, you know. This might take a few minutes.â
You stepped further into his suite, making your way to the sliding doors attached to a balcony. Looking out you could see Los Angeles in full light, the people and cars below feeling so out of reach, like nothing you had ever experienced in your city.
You seemed so out of place in the heavily decorated room still in beach clothing and legs covered in sand.
You could hear Tom rummaging through the drawers and walked over, giving a gentle knock on the open door.
âHaving trouble, twinkle toes?â you joked at the way he pillaged through his clothes. He smiled at your commentary.
âMaybe a bit. Do you need anything? A drink, snack? The fridge is stocked so take anything you like.â
You were surprised at his generosity and at how little he cared about paying for that stuff. In your family, everything in the hotel room was off limits if it wasnât free.
âI think Iâm good but do you mind if I use your restroom? I really need to rinse this sand off and put on some real clothes.â
âGo right ahead,â he gestured to the bathroom door.
The bathroom was also massive, especially for a hotel. The shower thankfully had a handheld spray head so you were able to just target and rinse your legs. You tugged on some athletic shorts and a loose tank top to replace your former garments.
You quickly used the toilet too and went to wash your hands, not believing how many fancy soaps and lotions covered the counter.Â
As you lathered, a small bottle caught the corner of your eye. It was a light yellowish color and read âOBSESSION for men.âÂ
Of course he would wear Calvin Klein cologne. Now I know.
You finished up and made a final once over in the mirror, fixing some stray hairs in your ponytail and opening up the door.Â
You stopped in your tracks as your eyes laid upon Tom, who was shirtless with his back to you, the elastic of his underwear poking out of his pantsâ waistline.
âYouâre a pretty big fan of Calvin Klein, huh?â you asked, referring to both the cologne and his boxers. He turned around, giving you a view of his bare chest, which didnât disappoint, a fact that you pretended was annoying.
âHah, yeah. I really want to do an ad campaign with them if you couldnât tell,â he bent over to pick up a shirt from the bed and toss it on.Â
âWell with the cologne and underwear youâre pretty much a walking billboard.â
âYou like the cologne?â he asked, causing your face to heat up. You knew a blush was present and probably obvious, so you decided not to lie.Â
âYeah, actually I do. Itâs a nice scent. It also happens to be all over my bed right now thanks to a certain someone,â you tipped down your chin and raised an eyebrow accusingly.Â
âYou want it? The company actually sent me like⌠eight bottles and a bunch of clothes not too long ago after I posted on Instagram about them. I canât get rid of them fast enough,â he offered, walking towards you.
âWhat? No! I couldnât just take that from you. What would I tell my friends when they see menâs cologne bottle in my room? I canât say âoh yeah Tom Holland gave it to meâ and it would be majorly out of character to tell everyone that itâs what you wear.â
He went past you into the bathroom and rummaged through a toiletry bag, muttering an âaha!â when he pulled out another bottle identical to the one on the counter, except this was sealed and full.
âSeriously Tom I canât just tak-â you started when he dropped the bottle into your bag.
âWhoops,â he quipped, âno take backs. Now your bed can forever smell like meâ
You were ready to argue again (with an undeniable smile on your face) when there was a loud rapping on the main door.
Tom grimaced at you to wordlessly send a message of âprepare yourselfâ as he took a deep breath in and headed out of his bedroom. You silently followed into the living room and watched Tom open the door, where a well dressed man and woman pair stood talking. Â
                            __________________________________
At first you and Tom together discussed the plan you had made at the beach with his manager and publicist, neither of whom seemed to like the idea very much.
They asked to speak with Tom privately, so you relocated back into the bedroom and sat on the side of his bed, reminiscing on how the roles were almost reversed compared to only two evenings prior.Â
You were only in there for about ten minutes, but it seemed like hours. You were too anxious to mess with your phone and instead looked out his window.
There was a quiet knock on the door before Tom opened it. You recognized the steely look in his eyes and the way his jaw was clenched.Â
He motioned for you to come out, and almost immediately after stepping into the living room his manager started talking to you.
âSo, y/n, right? Iâm gonna have to give this to you straight. You cannot be seen with my client ever again,â she stated bluntly, âitâs nothing against you, of course, but Tom here needs to maintain a âsingleâ rep until this movie is no longer in theatres and frankly youâre jeopardizing the whole thing.â
Your eyebrows shot up and you werenât happy to hear this womanâs feigned criticisms.
âIâm sorry, but Tom is the one who sought me out. I never liked him, you could ask any person who knows me and they would tell you the same. Iâm only here because Tom asked me to meet him about getting rid of this whole âscandalâ or whatever you want to call it. So if anyone is jeopardizing Tom, itâs himself.â
The publicist took a step forward.
âLook, miss y/n, itâs really nothing against you, we just want to maintain his image, and the best way to do so would be for us to go online and tell everyone he helped you get medical attention for an injury, which we all know is true, and end it at that. It makes Tom look like a hero, and youâll be popular for weeks with your peers Iâm sure,â he explained, angering you further.Â
âI never asked for this. I donât want attention. I donât want the world, or more importantly my best friend, to find out Iâve been lying about the guy I used to hate. Do you realize how many rumors this will fuel? This is ridiculous and I canât allow you to put out my information like this.â
âOh, well. Too bad. I just sent the tip to TMZ and theyâre posting the story tonight,â he replied, âand Tom is going live on Instagram at 4:00 to address it the way we told him to and you two canât be seen together again. Text all you want like you have been, but no public contact. Unless of course we want to do a âgirl saved by hero reunites with himâ thing. Oh man would that look so good-â
âIâm done. This is so sick. Tom,â you looked directly into his eyes, ânever contact me again, you disgusting cheap sellout bastard,â you spat, a fire in your own eyes like nothing anyone had ever seen from you.
âY/n I-â he began, but you were already heading to the door. You could hear footsteps behind you and the door slam shut but you kept power walking towards the main elevators, hoping they were the opposite direction from which you and Tom initially came.
âWait!â he cried out, finally catching up and grabbing your elbow.
You threw his hand off but stopped moving forward and instead spun around to face him. Tears had made their way down your cheeks by now and you werenât any happier to be so vulnerable in front of Tom.Â
Never in your life did or expect the next (or even last) guy youâd cry over would be Tom Holland.
âY/n, please listen,â he pleaded, his face was also red, as if he were going to cry himself. You stood firm and gave him an expectant glare, so he continued.
âI donât want to do this, I really donât. Please understand that I have to, though, no matter how much this hurts. We can still talk. I was so drawn to you the second I saw you in that crowd just last week and I couldâve never imagined how close you could become in the short amount of time weâve known each other. Please, babe, I donât want to lose you.â
Anger flashed inside of you again and you felt your chest tighten at the bomb heâd just dropped..
âDo you really, Tom? Do you really care? Because to me it sounds like you actually have a choice here, but youâre too much of a pushover to do whatâs right. If you really cared, you wouldnât do this to me. I was serious back there. Donât talk to me again, and definitely donât call me babe if you do.âÂ
 âIâm so, so sorry, y/n,â Tomâs voice finally broke, and you could see the way his lip quivered as he continued, âIâm sorry I ever got you into this mess.â
âMe too,â you whispered.Â
You wiped more stray tears and turned, looking back one last time into the face of the broken-hearted celebrity, hoping it was the last time you would ever see his face, but knowing it wouldnât be the end of it.
                            __________________________________
You exited the elevator, which you were glad was empty. More tears had fallen on the journey down and you mustered up everything you could to stop them, at least until you were off the premises of the hotel.Â
Though knowing you looked like a wreck, you walked through the hotel lobby with head held high, looking straight forward at the large front doors.Â
Your numbered ticket was in hand and you gladly gave it to the valet so he could pull up your car.
It was getting harder to hold it together as you waited. Finally, he appeared and parked the car in front of you.
He held out the keys and then stood directly in front of you, silently pleading for a tip, even though he could probably see the obvious anguish on your face.Â
Finally, you gave in, rolling your eyes as you dug through your bag for a spare $5 bill and slapped it into his hand with disdain.
âHow kind. Have a nice day, maâam!â he voiced cheerily.
You fought the urge to flip him off as you sat down in the driverâs seat and began the journey back home, dread filling your stomach the closer home became.

jk!mafia concept | IBDI teaser
 â [mafia Jungkook concept]: Imagine thisâthings got bad, really bad. But within the chaos, you find each other. But everything is different again. Heâs more possessive now, if thatâs even possibleâand youâre trying to make yourself think this is a normal, healthy relationship. But he holds on to you so so tight, no wonder you can still breathe. But you like it, donât you?
*
*
*
You scoop the basmati rice on your plate, laying it beside your chicken and green beans. You decided to give cooking a chance for tonight and Jungkook seemed to be pretty excited about it.
He pauses, brows furrowing up like an upset child. He stares at your plate for a moment, not allowing you to walk any further with him in your way.
You frown due to his sudden invasion of your personal space. âWhatâre you doing?-...â
He suddenly reaches back to grab the ladle that was once in your hand and scoops more rice on your plate.
âHey,â You gripped his wrist lightly, not that physically stopping him would work but it would stall him. âI donât want that muchâŚâ
âYou need to eat more than that.â despite your distaste, he continued to give you extra of whatever he could grab. You thought about firing back a comment but arguing with him is pointless, youâd only end up working yourself up.
So you go to the dining room table with a plate that will take you roughly 3 days to finish and wait for Jungkook. This is the first time you two were able to eat at a table like this. Youâd normally eat in the room on the floor or in bed, in fear of the people swarming the building 24-7. This safehouse is nice, pretty big with comfy beds and sweet smelling sheets.
When he finally comes to the table, he has two cups of juice in his hand. He places one in front of you and the other on his placemat.
âJungkook,â He perks up to the whine in your voice, âI canât eat this muchâŚâ
He simply looked at you, as if he were telling you to just eat it. When you pick up your fork with a piece of chicken on it, he sits down as if he accomplished something big.
âI didnât know you could cook.â He eats a spoon full of rice, eyes lighting up. âItâs really good, I havenât eaten this well in forever.â
âThanksâŚMy aunt taught me.â You push one of the vegetables around with the fork.
âItâs delicious, babe.â He smiled. His words of praise made you feel a tinge of proudness. Thereâs not a lot you can do around here, so if you can at least make a decent meal, youâre doing something helpful.
Ever since you two got back together, he had this obsession with being there whenever you ate, and he made sure you ate as much as possible. It was irritating sometimes but you knew it was only out of love. For a while, you had developed an abnormal eating pattern. It had a lot to do with the Tae incident, getting sick, and just generally losing your appetite.
The first morning you spent together, he made you a huge breakfast. The eggs were a little overdone but itâs the thought that counts. After a few minutes, you set your fork down. The food was great but you knew youâd vomit if you eat anymore. You got up to take your plate and Jungkook shot up instantly.
âIâll get it,â He took the plate from you, âyou cooked, itâs the least I can do.â He smiles, beaming at your blush when he kisses your temple. When you went to sit at the barstool, Jungkook had pulled up his sleeves and starting washing up the dishes. He looked so domestic like this, when heâd make the bed or fold his clothes, it made you feel like your relationship really wasnât that odd.
His dark hair bounced against his forehead the more vigorously he scrubbed. The veins lining his forearm bulged slightly, that sight always made you giddy. Sometimes, heâd wrap his arms around you and spin you around, smiling when youâd tell him to put you down.
âWhere are we sleeping tonight?âŚâ
âWeâll have to bunk with Hyung. Someone else is in the room we would be in so heâs letting us stay with him again. That doesnât bother you, does it?â
âNo, I was just wondering.â Staying in close quarters with Namjoon is surprisingly painless.
He doesnât really bother you two. Though Jungkook insisted that you two could squeeze into the twin in the corner, he gave up the full-size bed anyway. Things like that made you remember why Jungkook is so sold out for him, theyâre family. And if any of these boys are in pain, theyâre there for one another. Even a gesture as simple as sacrificing the bigger bed is actually a huge sign of his love for Jungkook.
When he finished up, you two walked back to the bedroom. It was the closest room to the kitchen luckily. You hadnât showered or washed up for bed yet so thatâs what you were about to do. There were plenty of toiletries, soaps, and necessities to go around so all you needed were some clothes. When you asked Namjoon for some extra clothes, he handed you a bag of spares accumulated for the girls who needed clothes after incidents. You were lucky enough to find your size in some soft pajama pants and a plain T-shirt.
You grabbed that little ensemble and began to make your way to the bathroom, but Jungkook was behind you. You pause. âUm, Iâm gonna go shower.â
âOk, we can shower together, thatâs my favorite pastime.â He simpers. He doesnât quite understand where youâre going with this.
âI-âŚâ You hesitate. âIâm actually just gonna shower by myself tonightâŚâ You mutter that out with a fear tugging at your chest when his eyebrows lowered. Jungkook has been getting pretty high-strung lately. Heâs practically glued himself to you, making sure everyone knew that wherever you were, he would be right there beside you.
âBy yourself?â He furrows his brow as if what you were saying was pure gibberish. You nod, and to avoid the argument, you close the bathroom door and heâs left standing there, offended. The night you got back together, you showered together for the first time, and he felt like you two got a little closer in your relationship.
He canât help but take personal offense to your rejection. Heâs just starting to get in the swing of things with you, itâs all going back to the way things should be. So thereâs not a moment that goes by that he doesnât want to be around you. Too many things could happen behind closed doors. You could get hurt, hurt yourself, anything. If heâs there, heâll make sure that doesnât happen.
Jungkook stepped out of the room to get distracted for a while. The safe house was fairly the biggest one in the countryside, so there were a lot of people and a lot of places. He knows Yoongiâs here and itâs taken everything in him not to go and give him a piece of his mind. Yoongi used you for a means of trade. He disregarded your life, your dreams, and your goals and completely flipped your life upside down. Then, tried to act like he was saving you from Jungkook for your brotherâs sake. Jungkook has good reason to be pretty pissed off about that.
âJeon-sshi.â Some kid walked up to him, a nervous waver in his voice. Jungkook gives him a look of acknowledgment. âDo you know where Y/n is by any chance?â
He crooked a brow. âI always know where she is.â That shouldnât surprise anyone. âWho wants to know?â
âMin.â He swallows nervously at Jungkookâs intense stare. âHeâs asking for her.â
Yoongi is asking for you?
âWhat does he want?â Jungkook could feel his temperature rise and his blood begin to simmer at the mention of Yoongi having remotely anything to do with you.
âHe didnât say, I think he just wanted to talkâŚâ
He grit teeth, trying to keep his composure. âWell, tell him I said to fuck off.â
With that, Jungkook retreated back to the bedroom where you were still showering. The door was unlocked so he took the liberty to just walk right in. You jumped when the door slammed shut. You heard a huff and steady pacing.
âJungkook?â You sheepishly pipe up to confirm that it was him invading your personal time, not someone else.
âYeah.â You know that tone anywhere, thatâs his upset tone. You peek out from behind the shower curtain to see him biting at his cheek with tightly crossed arms.
âIs everything okay?âŚâ He smacks his teeth in response. âGuess notâŚâ You go back to bathing, heâll talk to you when heâs ready.
You swore you could feel the frustration radiating off of him. Jungkookâs attitude greatly affected those around him, you more so than anyone.
You flinch when the curtain opens and he barges into the shower in all of his glory. If thereâs one thing thatâs true about Jungkook, itâs that he often oversteps any boundary that would omit the proximity between you two. He gets under the shower head to wet his hair as he continuously pushes it back from his forehead and he bumps you back a bit without realizing it.
âYoongi was asking for you.â He finally confesses, a biting undertone in his voice as he lathers up his washcloth.
âOh,â You glanced up at him, before stepping out of the back side of the shower, âreally? Why?âŚâ
âI donât know. But heâs fucking delusional if he thinks after all the shit heâs done that youâll talk to him.â You dry yourself off and slip on your undergarments. You set the towel down and gently lather on a body lotion.
âBut what if he wanted to talk to me about my brother? Or I donât know, something like thatâŚâ You look up in the mirror as he gets out of the shower with a blush on his cheeks from the heat. He wraps a towel around his waist and dries his hair off with a hand towel. He doesnât bother drying off too much and just slips his sweats on, you always find that funny;
âThatâs not happening.â
You roll your eyes, slipping on the pajama pants and then the t-shirt. âIt could be importantâŚâ
He suddenly wraps his arms around your waist, clutching you tightly from behind when you tried to turn to him.Â
âJungkookâŚâ You sigh, and he knows what you mean by the whine of his name but he doesnât budge.
You squealed when he turned you around, lifted you up, and sat you on the edge counter. âNo,â He pecked your lips briefly and then gave you a stern look. âI donât want you anywhere near him. Do you hear me?â You shyly look up to meet his leering gaze.
âYou promise me?â
âMhmâŚâ You hesitated on your answer and by the furrow in his brows, he noticed. He leans closer and kisses you, so suddenly that you kind of giggle against his lips. His hands are all over you and you know heâs trying to strip you of your pajamas. His hands slip under your shirt and you feel the pads of his fingers dig into your skin.
âI have to watch out for you these days, youâre a lot more rebellious now, you kinda just do what you wanna do.â He let out a faint laugh after the last few words. âItâs fucking cute though, it makes me want to make you behave, get you to be a good girl for me.â You both laugh because you both know that behaving hasnât really been your thing lately.
The worst part is, heâs right. Sometimes, just doing what you please despite his wishes was refreshing, it gave you a little freedom. Though, when he catches you he gets pretty fussy, it makes for an entertaining situation.
âAnd you better not be lying to me,â He rubs your thighs as he leans in to kiss you. Moments like this remind you of the reality of your relationship, the feelings that you two have for each other are so raw.
You pull away, obviously offended. âI donât lie.â
âYou donât lie...â He repeats you in a teasing tone, laughing at your little front. He pulls you closer to the edge, closer to him. He dips down to nuzzle his nose against your face, and then down to your jaw and finally your neck. His hands are so warm, you almost forgot the effect they had on you.
âThen where were you last night?â He asked suddenly, hands still very tight on your hips.
âIn bed with you...â You werenât sure why he asked you that. âWhy?-â
âAre you sure? Because I woke up around 3 and you werenât there.â
You freeze, unsure of what he wanted to hear until it occurred to you â Namjoon pulled you aside to talk late last night, he didnât want Jungkook to know.Â
âI- I...um...â He cuts off your stuttering.
âI went to look for you,â Your stomach began to turn and it was hard to look at him all of a sudden, âand you were sneaking around. I saw you coming back to the room and I pretended like I was sleeping. I was gonna get up and talk to you but I just grabbed you and my baby girl fell right asleep before I could say anything.â He laughs at the way he said that. âIs there something you want to tell me, baby?â
You start to panic.
âJungkook...â You whine but he pulls away from you, heâs never done that before.
âWho were you with?â
You carefully slide off of the counter with your head hung low. Stop panicking, he can tell when youâre panicking.
âWhy are you panicking?â He rubs a finger under your chin. âItâs ok, baby, I trust you. Just tell me the truth.â Heâs grinning, heâs grinning and youâre shaking.Â
Shit.
âI canât tell you who I was with,â You bite your lip, âhe asked me not to...â
âHe?â He changed his persona in a split second and he took a step back. You should have said they, or the person, anything but he. âWho the fuck is âhe?ââ He says it mockingly and you want to go hide at the way heâs looking at you.
âThis guy is dragging you off in the middle of the night and telling you not to tell me about it. Whatever you do, wherever you go, I find out, I always do. Did you really think I wouldnât notice you leaving in the middle of the night? Come here,â He grabs your arm and pulls you into the bedroom â and for some reason, you pull against him, you never do that. For maybe 30 seconds, you two are just staring at each other and he decides to reduce a bit of the distance.
âI would ask if you were cheating on me but youâre not stupid, you wouldnât do something that would get someone killed.â Because in fact, you cheating on Jungkook would indefinitely lead to someone getting hurt. He furrows his brows when you neglect to refute the notion of cheating. He lets out an eerie laugh, one that meant he was losing it a little. âFuck-...Are you?â
Heâs angry. Ever since you got back together you noticed his temper was as short as ever â he was so stressed these days. And what if he took it out on you? You did the same thing to him and everyone seemed to notice.
âAre you fucking kidding me?â You donât look up. âAre you seeing someone else?!â He raised his voice and you flinched when he got more in your face.Â
âN-no I-â You tried to explain yourself but he cut you off, voice booming in the small room.
âNo?! Then what the hell is it?! Itâs gotta be something. I told you on the first night we back together that in this fucking business youâll never find a guy who cares about you like me. You shouldnât want to leave me, I can give you anything you need or want.â He starts to pace, making you more anxious.
âI went too fucking long without you, I started to go crazy.â He looks you straight in the eyes, not even blinking. âI even tried coke again, but it fucked me up and Tae had to do some weird shit to bring me back.â
He hadnât told you that.Â
âYou-...You did cocaine?-â
âY/n, when Iâm stressed, I want you and when youâre not there, I donât know what to fucking do so coke was my best bet at the time. Donât you get it? Do you not understand how much control you have over me? Huh?â
You were unsure of how to answer because you had never thought of that. And you were also getting upset too because he did cocaine, satanâs sugar essentially.Â
âWait, why are you acting like this?...â You frown, feeling small compared to the way heâs towering over you. âI-...I was with Namjoon, he was talking to me about my brother and you, thatâs all.â
He lets out a sigh of relief, and guilt swarms in his chest for coming down so hard on you. Before you know it heâs kissing you and you feel like youâre going to cry. âIâm so sorry,â He says muffled against your lips. âI just get worried- Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry baby,â He holds your face and stumbles forward so that you land back first on the bed.
âY- you,â You pull away, which only compels him to kiss your neck, âJungkook, look at me.â You cup his jaw to lead his eyes to yours. âListen...Donât ever accuse me like that, ever. I love you so much, more than any man Iâve ever known and Iâll be damned if you think Iâd ever cheat on you...You say you trust me but you get so jealous and I understand...but donât react like this, it makes me upset.â
He looks at you with those pretty doe eyes and it takes him a second, but he nods. âIâm sorry...âÂ
Now that he understands, you bring his lips back to yours as somewhat of a reward. He kisses you slower, softer, apologetically. He switches out a lot like this, one minute heâs having an existential crisis and blowing up, the next heâs cuddling you like a puppyâheâs a boy of many contradictions. He scoots you up so that youâre somewhat touching the headboard. Jungkook is panting softly along with you, looking you over because God, you were so beautiful. It was cold in here too, and you were anxious so you were shaking.Â
âY/n...youâre shaking, calm down, you gotta calm down a bit.â He breathes against you, kissing you gently. He continues with the gentle kisses, knowing how easily overwhelmed you get. You mutter something, a whine or something like that but he doesnât hear it.Â
âJust calm down, I love you. I love you so fucking much, you have to know that,â He shoves his tongue into your mouth, eliciting whimpers from you as you felt dizzy. âI love you, I love you.âÂ
He said that a thousand times that night, and you felt it all over.

forced nsfw ddlb with starkerstrange?
Im not a huge fan of forced sexual activities in ddlb, so it will all be consensual but I hope you like this nonetheless anonđđ ((and I apologise for being so slow with posting this ssksk im still slow and unproductive bc of the flu))
Daddies and husbands Tony and Stephen, 18+ Peter, ageplay, shower sex, anal fingering, handjob, fluff
ââââ
âPeter! Stop that immediately. The water belongs in the pool.â Stephen reminded the boy for the third time, so now his tone was growing more stern than sweet when he had first told the boy off.
The little family of three were spending the warm summer afternoon by their pool, lounging in the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the pool for over three hours now. Stephen and Tony were laying on sun chairs, tired after work and dozing off a little, while Peter was swimming in the large pool. The little boy had done a considerable amount of laps, but he was full of energy as he played with his water toys. It was like his skin was a sun panel and the more time he spent in the sunshine, the more he buzzed around like an excited bee.
âIâm just watering the grass, Daddy!â Peter tried to make excuses, putting on an innocent face as the water droplets ran down his nose and the sides of his face.
âThe chlorine isnât good for the plants, baby.â Tony argued, sitting up on the sun chair and making his way over to the pool side, gesturing for the boy to come over. âLet me see your hand.â
With a little huff, Peter swam the little distance between himself and the edge of the pool, extending his hand for his Papa to see. He knew his fingers looked like raisins, the skin shrunken and wrinkled from the time spent in the water. It meant that play time in the pool was over and reluctantly, Peter got out like his Papa requested. At least the towel that Daddy wrapped him in was nice and fluffy.
âYou go right ahead and shower, baby. Weâll be up in a minute.â Stephen assured and gave the boy a kiss on his wet forehead before ushering him inside. While Peter padded inside, Stephen and Tony cleaned up by the pool side, bringing the dishes and such inside along with gathering up Peterâs water toys to let them dry.
Meanwhile, Peter stood in the large marble walk in shower in the bathroom by the master bedroom, staring at his erect cock and pondering what to do. He had felt funny all afternoon, but couldnât quite figure it out and tell his Daddies about it. It was a tingly sensation, a heat in his lower stomach that grew hotter every time his groin had rubbed against his inflatable water toys as he straddled them. Peter knew his Daddies would help him out with anything and everything, but what about something that he couldnât explain? Could Daddy and Papa fix something he canât explain? And after being told off my the pool, Peter was even more reluctant to tell them, fearing that he would be scolded at again, maybe even punished.
Peter was so transfixed with his red and erect length poking at his stomach that he didnât register Stephen and Tony when they also entered the bathroom, chatting fondly about their day as they removed their swimming shorts. It wasnât until one of them spoke louder that Peter snapped his head up from his cock.
Peterâs Daddies were so handsome and the boy suddenly felt his cock growing harder and hotter as he looked at the older men in front of him. They were both naked and stood in all their muscular and handsome glory, a soft smile on their tanned faces. Even when Peterâs cock was fully erect and swollen, he was still smaller than both his Daddies limp cocks.
âYou all right, handsome?â Tony asked, his brows knit together in a worried expression as he studied his boy.
âYeah, Iâm⌠Iâm good, Papa.â Peter stuttered out, but Stephen was not very convinced and stepped into the shower, a knowing smile on his face.
âPete, we see that somethingâs up. You know you can tell us anything, yeah? We wonât be mad, promise.â
Tony nodded in agreement to what his husband had said.
Peter considered his options again and looked down at his erect cock again. To both his horror and confusion, something white started leaking out of his cock, just a few drops, but still he blushed furiously. Peter almost looked sunburnt over his entire chest because he blushed so hard, a little whimper escaping his throat.
Stephen and Tony shared a momentary wicked look between them and agreed on a plan of action without even speaking, just through a silent nod and blink. Tony was the first one to move and left the shower for a moment. Meanwhile, Stephen moved closer to Peter and grasped his chin, tilting his head up so that they were eye to eye. The little boy looked anxious and afraid, his bottom lip between his teeth and fiddled with his hands nervously in front of his cock to hide the sight.
âDaddyâŚâ
âCome on, tell me whatâs going on, Pete.â Stephen encouraged gently, although with a little smirk on his face as he lapped up the sight of his flustered boy.
âI-I feel funny.â
âFunny in a sick way? You feeling icky?â
Peter shook his head softly, huffing out a heavy breath when Stephen brought him closer, nudging his muscular thigh in between Peterâs skinnier ones so that the boy could rut against him.
âYou feel good then, little one?â
âIt tingles, Daddy. Ah- it feels good.â Peter whimpered as he gained some courage and moved his hips to rut against his Daddyâs thigh. The movement sent sparks to his stomach and another few drops of white ran down his cock.
Tony returned then, with a bottle filled with a clear liquid which Peter thought was shampoo, but that turned out to be wrong when he poured some of it onto his thick fingers and then brought his hand in between the boyâs pale ass cheeks. Peter jumped at the invading touch, but didnât pull away, because Papa could be trusted. Papa wouldnât hurt him, but still Peter was unsure of what was going on and whimpered.
âAm I getting punished?â The boy asked shyly, mumbling the words into his Daddyâs hard chest.
âWhy would you think that, baby?â Stephen asked, one hand in Peterâs wet and chlorine smelling curls and the other holding a firm grasp on his ass cheek to give Tony better access to the boyâs rosy bud where he was circling his slick fingers to relax the tight ring of muscle. Peter let out a choked moan, rising onto his tip toes and bucking his hips to rut against Stephenâs thigh again.
âBecause- this is naughty?â Peter suggested quietly, sounding a bit breathy as he rocked back and forth between rubbing his cock and Papaâs fingers teasing his little hole.
âNo, no, sweetie. This is perfectly normal.â Tony assured and finally pushed the first finger in, smirking at the moan that Peter let out. âYour Daddy and Papa would never hurt you, baby boy. You just relax and let us take care of you, yeah? We are gonna make you feel so good.â
And Daddy and Papa were right. It felt heavenly and Peterâs head was spinning with the sensation of Daddyâs hand around his cock and Papaâs fingers in his ass. The boy still felt naughty and blushed and whimpered in embarrassment, but in a way that just added to the heat in his lower stomach, knowing that what they were doing was kind of naughty. After all, he was not allowed to touch himself down there and he had to have one of his Daddies clean him down there during baths and showers. Peter wondered if Uncle Steve also did this to Bucky, but did not ponder on it for a long time as he was so dizzy with arousal.
âDaddy! I donât know whatâs- It feels funny!â Peter cried out in fright as all of this was so new to him. Stephen and Tony knew, however, based on the boyâs high pitched whimpers and how tight his little balls were drawn up that he was close to an orgasm. They held their little one steady in their strong arms, but did not slow down the finger fucking nor the jerking motions.
âItâs okay, Pete. We got you, just let it happen. Donât hold back.â Tony instructed and continued with toying with the boyâs prostate, enjoying the way the ring of muscle clenched around his two fingers. A few seconds later, Peter drew in a long breath, held it for a second and then cried out as he came, painting his own stomach and his Daddyâs fist with his white cum.
âItâs okay, itâs okay. You are doing so good, baby boy. We got you, donât worry. Such a good boy for your Daddies, yeah? Good boy, Pete.â Stephen comforted as the boy mewled and whined through his orgasm, quivering where he stood on his tip toes and supported by his Daddies.
âHow was that, baby?â Tony asked and eased his fingers out of the boyâs still spasming hole. âYou still feel funny?â
With a shy and tired giggle, Peter shook his head and practically slumped down onto the marble floor of the shower. He stayed there during the whole shower, playing with his water crayons and drawing on the marble wall while his Daddies washed his hair and body. When Peter was squeaky clean again, Stephen and Tony cleaned and washed themselves, stealing some lazy kisses from one another and groping at each otherâs asses and cocks. Peter didnât pay that any attention, as he was quite concentrated on his drawing of a shark, but he turned to look at his Daddies when Tony made a loud groan.
Peter eyed the two of them and his eyes lingered on their groins where their cocks were growing hard and swollen, just like his had been earlier. For some reason that he did not understand, Peter wanted them in his mouth, like a pacifier to suck on.
âThatâs a scary shark you made there, little one. Good job.â Stephen praised, snapping Peter out of his little moment of staring at his Daddies cocks.
âThank you, Daddy.â Peter replied politely and took the shower head that Stephen was offering and washed away the drawing of the shark before getting up and snuggling into the towel that Tony held out for him.
Now Peter just found his Daddies to be silly. After walking out of the shower together, all three of them dried their hair off and lathered themselves in after sun lotion. Peter, of course, got help from Stephen and Tony to do that, but it all took longer than usual because they continued groping one another, even biting each otherâs earlobes and necks.
âYou and Daddy are naughty.â Peter pointed out as Tony used the blow dryer to dry off Peterâs curls. Tony just winked down at him in response. âCan we do it again, Papa? Please?â
Shutting the blow dryer off, Tony gave the boy a peck on his cheek. âNext time, baby, because now itâs naptime.â
Peter tried to protest, but Stephen gave him a stern look as he returned with a pair of Pokemon boxer briefs and a t-shirt for him to put on. It was the perfect outfit for a nap on a summer afternoon. His Daddies were wearing even less though. They were just in boxer briefs and Peter had a feeling they would be ripping them off as soon as he fell asleep.
It felt a little bit unfair, but Peter trusted his Papa to keep his promise and that next time he could join his Daddies and they could all be naughty together. So, Peter didnât protest against naptime as he was led to his bedroom by both his Daddies by the hand. His bed felt nice and cool as he lay down and immediately sought out one of his numerous plushies, holding it close to his chest.
âSleep tight, baby boy.â Tony muttered against his temple, leaving a sweet kiss before pulling away so that Stephen could do the same.
âWe love you, sweetie.â
âI love you too, Daddies.â Peter mumbled with a little sigh, giving a tired wave to them both as they stepped out of the room, dimming the lights before shutting the door.

Skincare catch-up
Below are all the products Iâve used or currently use in my skincare routine. Some do their job but are nothing fancy, some are bad purchases, and some Iâll actually repurchase.Â
My skin type is combination/oily, and I get acne when Iâm stressed (not all over my face though, just 1-3 big pimples). I also have milia all over my cheekbones, and Iâm looking into a way to have them removed by a professional since I wasnât able to get rid of them on my own.
Cleansers
Currently using: Purity by Philosophy
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d256038a5ca9f904e87cd1091831e673/a5dc2999b0ae53a3-52/s640x960/dcb0c726217b81efb73e38513064e19a075edcfd.jpg)

It does its job, but I donât think it worked better than a Garnier cleanser I tried a year ago, and itâs more expensive. Also, the smell is a bit odd. Clean, but odd. I got this as a free gift for signing up for an Ulta credit card, and itâs definitely smooth and feels good rubbing into my skin. This will probably work fine on most skin types. However, for the price tag (and my skin type), thereâs probably something better out there for me.Â
Currently using: Daily Microdelivery Exfoliating Facial Wash (Philosophy)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/19fbc5791061c5f1bea70126a5b5ef63/a5dc2999b0ae53a3-cb/s500x750/36ca88fa1730512fd63cb91c45fbf0ef63b290a1.jpg)

Itâs a gentle-enough exfoliant that I can use it every morning as a cleanser in place of Purity (though if this is a big skincare mistake, someone please let me know!) It smells a bit like oranges and has a thick jelly texture. It feels refreshing and all, but again, Iâm not sure how much itâs doing given the fact that I get breakouts whenever Iâm stressed and I have to use other products to even out my skin tone again and get rid of acne. It does its job, but for the price, I could probably find something better for my specific skincare needs. That being said, I got the full size on sale for $15 at Christmas last year (normally $42) and it lasts a long time.Â
Trial: Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser by Drunk Elephant
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/33abf469f9f0884d967f514fa53d85b1/a5dc2999b0ae53a3-ee/s400x600/59c1f3e98785683880964e53f3a64e740a100ebf.jpg)

Everyone can get their hands on this in one of the options for your free birthday gift at Sephora this year. If you missed your birthday, you can still get your gift by going on sephora.com and logging into your Beauty Insider account to temporarily change your birth date before you go shopping. Not a huge fan of the packaging, since itâs a little messy when my hands are wet from washing my face and I donât want to get cleanser all over the sink and itâs hard to close if your fingers are slippery (if youâve used this, you probably know what Iâm talking about). Like Purity, the smell is a bit funky, but that could be a good sign since things that smell good usually have fragrance that can cause irritation. Still trying this though, will update later.
Sample: Kiehlâs Cucumber Herbal Conditioning Cleanser
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f4b9988789c7983237f929f1757cdd02/a5dc2999b0ae53a3-ef/s540x810/a0cb5371a17891906d92181715e849f7853b38bf.jpg)

Only had a sample size that lasted a week, but I liked this when I used it. You didnât need much product to cleanse your whole face, and it smelled really clean and refreshing but not overpowering. Lathered nice, and Iâll probably try this someday when I get more than a little sample packet.Â
Garnier SkinActive Micellar Foaming Wash
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/62798629ea13a0f872c77e16995b9f88/a5dc2999b0ae53a3-f3/s540x810/319c68d9621d120fdfc5978d9758e70cbbfa2523.jpg)

For a drugstore product, I really liked using this. The only reason I stopped was to try out the Philosophy products. My skin felt tight and clean after using this, and I could really lather to remove dirt and excess makeup. This is kind of my fallback, and my sister (age 20, combo skin) and my mom (age 50+, combo skin and rosacea) both like it too. Garnier also sells one in a blue bottle with aloe, but itâs not as good as this one and doesnât have the micellar water.Â
Toner
Currently using: Thayers Witch Hazel & Rose Petal Toner
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b41c42fcd7f17666304ce1834ce5bc12/a5dc2999b0ae53a3-f4/s500x750/763d255a7fd6e93c6a258073a56dbef2e2775b97.jpg)

Does its job, doesnât irritate, is inexpensive, and you can find it at the drugstore and Target. In the future I want to try a toner more targeted to my acne-prone oilier skin, but this toner is a catch-all, and overall a solid option in online reviews.Â
Sample: Kiehlâs Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/65feb8941fee8f3162225352a0693d9a/a5dc2999b0ae53a3-74/s540x810/40aefd33135e3dbfdcb920fb29079b3dfd42ace1.jpg)

I only got a baby sample that lasted 3 days, but this was really nice when I used it. Itâs definitely for oily skin since it has alcohol in it, but it didnât dry me out and made my pores feel nice and tight. Wish I could review more in-depth, but didnât get a chance to use this long enough.
Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6db92392dc033a676c7c0b389a868fc5/a5dc2999b0ae53a3-1b/s540x810/bf55c0022bc1bf6c7f804d0899734fb1ca278dc1.jpg)

I guess it worked (itâs been over a year since Iâve used this, though) and the smell was good, but I remember liking the Thayers better so I switched. Didnât irritate or anything, nothing bad to say, but it didnât leave an impression.
Serum
Currently using: The Ordinaryâs Lactic Acid 10% + HA
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/05db85775cadfa6681f77eddf0d8d631/a5dc2999b0ae53a3-f0/s400x600/e509a6d09c2156fc43a9a88874765e09c352beb8.jpg)
Rating: 9/10
For my first real foray into serums, this has worked pretty well. I wanted to increase my skin turnover rate and bring my milia to the surface, and this works well, is under $10, and is gentle enough to use every night. I didnât want to try anything too drastic since I hadnât used serum before, and this one was great. Will keep using, and will likely try other products from The Ordinary in the future.
Sample: Kiehlâs Nightly Refining Micro-Peel Concentrate
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ef20ab6af81045407e1d16c900f59755/a5dc2999b0ae53a3-ea/s540x810/4b6c185c3d5c85954b214e813895af786ce9cac0.jpg)

I got a small sample packet of this when I went to a Kiehlâs store for a free consultation, and it lasted about a week. I started to see results, but I ran out of the sample and went with The Ordinary since this little sucker is expensive. Seems like a great product, but not good on the budget.Â
Sample: Kiehlâs Hydro-Plumping Re-texturizing Serum Concentrate
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/005c112b1e72dc378630ac2b7662731f/a5dc2999b0ae53a3-fa/s500x750/b4eb7e158ea188fa68443380367800e2062c5ff6.jpg)

Seems like a good product, and I liked it for the week I used it. No smell, smooth texture, all good. However, the price is steep, so I donât think Iâll be buying this anytime soon.Â
Spot Treatments
Currently using: Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel

I just bought this yesterday, so Iâll post more of a review after at least a week. First impressions: this is a spot treatment, and I donât know who would use this all over their face like the box says you can do. Itâs strong and a bit sticky (like superglue?) and you have to be careful not to touch your eyes or anything while you have some on your fingertips. It absorbs quickly, and while itâs definitely drying, you can put moisturizer over it just fine.Â
Clindamycin Phosphate Topical Gel
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/83e75491c69012f0f4ac8b08415733dc/a5dc2999b0ae53a3-7e/s400x600/da557ae19a9425cb1f7a6e896da8cc7a26b38381.jpg)
Rating: N/A
I feel like I canât ârateâ this since itâs not OTC and I got it through a doctorâs prescription, but I loved this and if the doctor I switched to this past year hadnât screwed up, Iâd still be using it twice a day. Gentle, didnât smell like anything, and kept my acne away pretty well. More of a preventative measure than something to use once you already have the acne.
Moisturizers
Currently using: Origins GinZing Energy-Boosting Gel Moisturizer

I started using this a month ago, and I really like it, especially for a light morning moisturizer in the summer. It feels so smooth when you put it on, and the citrus smell is amazing. I like this one better than the Drunk Elephant one (below), and itâs half the price. I donât think Iâll use this in the dry winter months, but itâs been great in warm temperatures and sunshine.

For the price, I donât understand the hype here. Yeah, itâs a nice thick creamy moisturizer, but it doesnât smell fabulous and I donât think it works better than other moisturizers that are under $40. However, my sister is in love with this stuff, so maybe itâs just me.Â

I picked this one up at Ulta yesterday, so I havenât had a long enough time to test it. However, it gets rave reviews, and my first impression was that it went on smoothly and felt nice, but Iâll have more to say later.

I liked this moisturizer a lot better than the other one I got as a free sample from Kiehlâs (below). No strong smell, applied smoothly (Iâm saying this a lot, but thereâs a reason), but I didnât notice any âstress-minimizingâ.Â

Not for me. Didnât go on my skin smoothly, I didnât like the smell (vaguely oat-like? Or am I crazy?), didnât feel great on my skin. I still had some left in the sample when I threw it out, it just isnât for anyone with oily skin. Not sure why the girl at Kiehlâs gave me this, but whatever.
Garnier Skin Active Soothing 3-in-1 Face Moisturizer with Rosewater

Not good in the summer. I might go back to it in the winter, but this probably just made the milia on the thin skin under my eyes worse when it was humid out. More for dry skin, and the fragrance was a bit strong. Also, I felt like you needed a lot of product to use on your whole face, since it didnât glide on like some of the more gel-textured moisturizers Iâve tried. Not too bad for the drugstore, though.

This didnât work for me. The SPF made it more irritating if I got it close to my eyes or touched my eyes too soon after applying, and my nose in particular seemed really oily when I used this. Maybe only use this if you have normal-dry skin?

I use this about 3 times a week at night, and I donât find it too irritating like some people say the apricot or walnut scrub is. Pretty sure the beads in here are silicone, so it doesnât tear up my face. I stopped using this for a few weeks, and when I picked it back up to try and get rid of an acne flare-up, it really helped. I definitely noticed that it was doing something when I went off it for a bit. Drugstore BHA (Salicylic Acid) that works for me.

Are you a scrub? Are you a mask? Make up your mind. It doesnât really work as either, with a weird thick jelly texture and huge scrub beads. Only used twice, maybe Iâm jumping to conclusions, but even though this didnât break me out or anything, it didnât seem to do anything at all. Weird product.

Rating: 6.5/10
For the price and with all the ingredients including a blend of AHAs, I thought this would do more. Itâs satisfying to watch the mask turn lighter gray as it dries on your face, but youâre only supposed to use it once a week, and I havenât noticed results after a month. A fun mask to try, but I wonât be repurchasing since itâs too expensive for not enough of a result.

Chapstick would accomplish pretty much the same thing this does. Itâs hard to scrub it into your lips, since the honey âbeadsâ like to congeal into larger blobs, and itâs surprisingly expensive for a small little container at the drugstore. There have to be better lip scrubs out there, save your money.

A nice product, but I donât get the hype or cult status. Good for a refreshing pick-me-up, but I donât notice anything different when I donât use it. Not really a setting spray, just extra hydration during the day if youâre into that. Good for wetting a beauty blender, though.
