all is fair in love and war.

your mother used to say it all the time when you and wooyoung were kids and fought constantly over the most stupid things. she always said it with an amused smile on her lips, like she knew something you were not yet privy to, and when you were younger the notion of being kept in the dark by the person you trusted the most angered you. scared you.

you couldn’t understand what those words really meant. what did love and war —irreconcilable antitheses, mortal enemies— have to do with each other? and why did it seem like everyone around you, your older brother included, had accepted the sad juxtaposition as truth? 

years passed, you and wooyoung got used to one another, fought less, and the enigmatic phrase seldom left your mother’s mouth to the point that it started to fade away under the new memories of your teenage years.

just when it was about to get buried by your twenties, something happened that you hadn’t thought possible. something you’d skeptically deemed ‘not for you’. he happened. yunho happened.

and your mother’s words finally made sense.

all is fair in love and war because the rules of normal civility do not apply during war-making, and when one is desperately in love; because love and war have universally accepted limits but if one were to break those unwritten rules someone would still find a way to justify, to forgive and forget.

but something in the old proverb felt incomplete.

love and war are not the only gods that rule over the earth and you wonder how did the people that came before you not realize the looming force of the third: business. 

what is fair in business? 

what about your business? where it costs little to play dirty and it pays off handsomely? in which love is a mere distraction and war is a means to an end?

and now you’re the lonely bearer of the weight of this third secret factor. now that you’re at war and you’re running from love, you think back about the times you didn’t understand and wish to be brought back there. clueless but free.

it feels stupid to think about all this while you’re tiptoeing around the upper floor of the dark arena —battlefield of the ruthless game you all play— but it’s really all you can do, high off adrenaline and anticipation, waiting for someone to distract the unfortunate victim you have chosen for this round just so you can fix the red laser beam on its unsuspecting back and shoot your shot, granting your team one more chance at victory, at survival.

you crouch down, rifle in front of you and you scan the ground sector through your scope.

from up here you can see what goes on in the maze below. every movement, every noise has you drawing a mental map of the players. 

you can see jongho’s head slowly but surely cornering a terrified choi san to the east wall of the arena, meaning that sooner than later you’ll have an advantage in numbers over the rival team. from the sound of his shotgun reloading almost faster than it shoots, seonghwa must be stalking down kim hongjoong —sworn enemy and skilled sniper— somewhere around the entrance gates. that leaves wooyoung staring at you from the ground, weapon in hand and eyebrows raised in a telling frown. one that shows you he’s ready to play his part in your minutely crafted plan. 

the high wall of the maze is the only thing separating him and your target of choice. kang yeosang leans idly against the hard barrier that cages all of you in like he doesn’t know he’s being hunted for survival, as if he doesn’t realize your brother has been waiting for months to see him fail at your team’s hands.

he starts humming something under his breath too and it’s then that you realize that something– someone extremely dangerous is missing from your mind-map.

when jongho hit one of his teammates in the stomach, your personal and complicated enemy fled the north section before you could follow his movements and with the quick plan of taking out yeosang in full motion you forgot to look for him.

your head snaps to either side of the narrow platform you’re standing on. the thought of his dark eyes watching you this whole time sends chills down your back and makes a heavy weight drop to your stomach.

how did you end up like this? 

before the arena, before you started to play this sick game for a chance at a happier life, everything was just as perfect as it could have been.

jeong yunho. same age and lifelong friend of your annoying brother. tall, built, and handsome, one of the most beautiful smiles you’ve ever seen and a laugh you still can’t get out of your head. 

your mother was so happy when wooyoung grumpily let the fact that you were stealing his friend away from his group activities slip during a visit home from the city.

and oh, were you happy. 

navigating the hardest periods of your young life, in a hostile environment with the sweetest words whispered into your ear every night before you went to sleep.

then the ragtag group of friends you found yourself spending most of your time with, made the cursed discovery. every and each one of you got sucked in before you could realize what it meant.

it stood at the core of the city, a dark monster of metal and neon, big enough just for the bloodshed it hosted. the arena with no physical public, just big screens that displayed what went on in hell.

it started as curiosity and now you face this nightmare every week, hoping to win the glory that you all adamantly desire for different reasons. wooyoung to finally end yeosang’s incredible luck. seonghwa to destroy hongjoon’s ego. jongho for fun. and you to escape the game of cat and mouse you play with the one you trusted with your life.

you shake from your trance and try to listen for any sign that the tall soldier is near. 

amongst the noise of the ground floor, you fail to capture the clang of his boots on the metal grate but yunho doesn’t care to hide from you anymore.

from the crouched position you still have, he looms over you with sad coldness, staring you down like he’s trying to understand where you come from.

then he speaks. voice low, gelid. you can feel the anger through it. “did you take mingi out?”

“yunho–”

“he tried to warn me about you, you know. did you?”

you shake your head slightly. your teammate won’t care if you tell on him. your bloodthirsty sniper wants people to know what he’s capable of. “jongho…”

“it was your plan though.”

it’s the truth but it still hurts. “yunho, listen–”

“it’s always your plans that put me in the worst positions.” he aims his gun at your chest, his hands trembling slightly from the strong grip he has on the weapon; knuckles white.

your voice breaks when you speak. “yunho, please i know you don’t want to do this. please.”

“are you really begging right now?” he scoffs. “mingi was your friend, Y/N! you were going to shoot yeosang in the back!” he nods the gun to the ground floor where wooyoung is still waiting for your move. “i’m done with letting you win, i’m sorry. i can’t watch you do this anymore.”

your rifle is your only source of comfort right now and you grip it with all your might. even now you can’t seem to point it at the man that stands before you. even now you can’t bear that you’re on different sides of the same battle.

“you have to understand…” it sounds like he’s trying to justify himself more than anything.

“understand what, yunho?” you spat. “you’re standing over me telling me to understand but i really can’t because you’re doing the same thing! you’re going to kill me and call it justice!”

he flinches.

“look at me in the eyes and tell me you never loved me. tell me that i meant nothing to you, that it was all a lie and then maybe i will understand you.”

“Y/N–”

“i love you.” your eyes cloud with heartbreak and a single tear makes its way down your cheek. 

everything is over. betrayed by your own lover. killed by love and war.

his finger moves to the trigger. time slows down. you close your eyes.

“i will always love you.” a whisper.

instead of the bang of the gun a loud siren that resonates throughout the entire arena.

“TIME’S OUT!” yeosang cheers followed by wooyoung’s groans.

mingi and san pop their heads from the exit door with small smiles on their lips. “it’s a draw but we all did great guys!”

the others find their way towards the exit, technical gear coming off while the lights of the arena switch back on.

“just– for next time maybe we should finally change teams so that those two up there don’t go full mr. and mrs. smith on us!” mingi’s loud voice reaches everyone.

“yes, please. it’s just laser tag you guys, no need to be that dramatic over it.” wooyoung’s clearly addressing you and everyone agrees with him with quiet grunts.

your boyfriend who still looms over you throws you an amused grin and offers you his hand to get up. when you’re back on your feet he dusts off your shirt and dries the cinematic tear off your cheek. big hands put your mussed hair behind your ears and cup your face.

“they think we’re too much.”

“they just can’t handle us, yuyu. let them cry.”

he chuckles loudly as you place a sweet kiss on his cheek.

“by the way, next week i’m finally taking you out.” you taunt.

“like, on a date or with a sniper?”

Can you give us more Heat(/Wire) hcs please 😭😭 I love your blog sm <<33

you ask and you shall receive

Heat gets flustered easily and everything makes him blush

He likes to be the big spoon

He's a massive Marina stan

Loves spicey food and anything with herbs in it

Wire was his bisexual awakening

He saw Wire whilst their gangs were fighting and blushed when Wire tried to punch him

Heat's family used to run a traveling circus before they settled down on the island he grew up on

He's always surprising the crew by pulling out some random circus related skill that no one expects him to have

His father was a sword swallower and breath fire, which is who Heat learned from

Also has no gag reflex anymore

His mother was a trapeze artist and taught Heat everything she knew

Has a younger sister

His favourite alcoholic drink is Drambuie

His favourite non-alcoholic drink is hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream

Heat's parents love Wire and regularly send him gift packages

His closest friends on the crew include Noe, Haikei, Killer, Bubblegum and Hop

Heat and Wire used to sneak away from their gangs (who were technically at war with each other) to make out when they were teenagers

Literally everybody knew but they all pretended not to know

Often lies awake at night stressing about embarrassing and awkward things he's said

Used to make Wire flower crowns in their teens since they would sneak off to fields

Loves when his hair is played with or when he gets kissed

His favourite memories are almost all of his dates with Wire when they used to sneak around on their island, especially the memory where he taught Wire how to tightrope walk

Cries at everything in movies (sad scenes, happy scenes, romantic scenes)

Laughs at scary movies that involves clowns

Was probably a former clown for his circus, but no one has actually been able to find out

Wire does know since he accidentally saw pictures of Heat in clown makeup trying to fight another clown from a rival circus, but he's sworn to secrecy about it

His favourite movie would probably be the Sharknado or Monty Python movies

Briefly carried around a step ladder so he could kiss Wire without straining his neck

𝐂𝐀𝐓 𝐆𝐎𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐔𝐄? ฅ 𝐥.𝐣𝐧

summary: your mother always told you a lot as a child — about how you should always be kind to others, to always watch out for stray kittens in dark allies on your way to school and most importantly, to not judge a book by its cover. you didn’t always listen to her. yet you would have to say your biggest weakness would come in the form of cats. and maybe lee jeno as well. 

pairing: shy!reader + badboy!lee jeno genre: high school!au, fluff<3 word count: 1.8k warnings: language, mentions of disease

author’s note: another one of my blurbs that accidentally turned into a really long drabble hehe i hope the anonnie who requested this enjoys! <3 as always constructive criticism is appreciated and you can request after checking my prompt list.

  just like every other caring parent, your mom went on and on about what she deemed to be important life lessons during your childhood, and even now — about how you should always be kind to others, to always watch out for stray kittens if you pass by the alley next to the flower garden on your way to school and most importantly, to not judge a book by its cover.

you tried your best to listen to her. you really did. but sometimes, people had weaknesses and besides your more than often bouts of procrastination and incessant affinity for watermelon sour patch candies — 

(“if i was your dentist, i’d probably hate and love you,” jisung snickered as you shot him a look of confusion. “‘cause you must have hella cavities but that would mean i could charge you more money! i’m so sm- ow, that hurts (y/n)!” you rolled your eyes after picking up the bag of watermelon sour patches you had thrown at his forehead and ripping it open to pop one in your mouth) 

—  yet you would have to say your biggest weakness would come in the form of cats. cute, fluffy, insanely adorable stray cats.

    although you had your fair share of friends, you preferred to stray away from human interaction (honestly, it was too much of a hassle, you were never really the type to approach people first anyways, your shyness getting the best of you and you preferred it that way), you preferred the company of much smaller, fluffier animals. although your mother always warned you about the dangers stray animals possessed, whether it be how they could carry rabid diseases or put you at risk of bad luck, you stopped hesitating to bring some snacks for the poor, small kittens years ago on your daily walk to school.

    you paused as soon as you heard a small mewl followed by some rustling and shuffled your feet forward, peering into the dark alley before you felt something nudge against your leg. you jumped back, but let out a sigh of relief. you crouched down, holding your hand out for the tiny kitten to nuzzle against.

    you cooed and reached into your backpack, bringing out the cubes of watermelon you had packed earlier before gently offering a piece to the black and white kitten. 

    “what do you think you’re doing?” a gruff voice asked, causing you to flinch and jump back. your head snapped up, only to find the source of the voice to be someone who scared you a lot more than you liked to admit.

lee jeno.

    everyone who knew anyone knew that lee jeno fit in with the cliche archetype of a bad boy. he hung out with his troublemaker friends in a group of seven (including jisung, but how you still managed to be friends with that giant noodle without encountering his friends, you will still never know), with rumors spreading like wildfire amongst your peers of them always being late to school, stirring up mischief with their motorbikes and causing ruckuses during detention. 

you didn’t expect him to be here out of all places.

     he was never the center of all of the attention, preferring to stay behind his loudmouth friends and observe quietly, laughing whenever donghyuck or jaemin would make a joke and joining in with his friends’ antics whenever he felt like it. but make no mistake — the moment anyone saw his muscular arms and the glint in his eye, they knew he wasn’t going to be one to mess with.

    you realized he was staring you expectantly, waiting for an answer but your brain seemed to short-circuit from surprise. you opened your mouth, desperately trying to rack up a response with your pea-sized brain (stupid y/n, why did i have to forget how to speak an entire language right at this very moment?, you groaned internally) before closing your mouth and averting your eyes to the very interesting concrete ground.

“cat got your tongue, sweetheart?” he teased, smirking almost flirtatiously. (you never noticed it but jeno’s ears flushed red, not knowing where this sudden confidence came from. he usually wasn’t the type to flirt… at least not like this in broad daylight with a random pretty stranger. he’d be damned to say jaemin was finally rubbing off on him.)

   you bit your lip, unsure what to say back and cursed yourself for being so awkward. you glanced briefly at his figure, his broad shoulders donning his signature outfit of a black leather jacket, low cut almost hawaiian-looking shirt and ripped skinny jeans (it was literally so sunny outside, how was he not sweating in that? also, did he ever wash that jacket? you could’ve sworn you had never even seen him without it) before pressing your lips into a firm, thin line.

  your eyes fluttered down to the kitty, ignoring him, yet you were struggling to remember how to breathe properly. your friends had always called you shy, albeit approachable, but you never realized how difficult it was for you to just simply talk to someone you actually sort of wanted to talk to until this very moment. why was just saying a single word so hard? and why did it have to be the school’s notorious bad boy here with you out of everyone in this town?

  he frowned, not used to girls blatantly ignoring him, but it wasn’t the first time it happened. he tried to search your face for any sign of recognition, but you were too invested in the cat, or rather, his cat to pay him any attention.

(he’s never been jealous of a cat before but he’d never admit that at this moment, he would’ve liked to switch places with nal. what a nice life it must be for a cat to be fed watermelon all day and be coddled with attention and affection from a pretty girl.)

“how’d you know she liked watermelon?” he asked before bending down. your eyes flickered up until you realized how close he was to you, only a few mere inches away from your body. you shrugged, not trusting your voice to speak.

“nal,” he whispered, bending down to your level, whistling to coax her towards him. she meowed, licking the last bit drop of watermelon juice on her paw before pouncing towards jeno, her fluffy tail looping around his beat-up hightops. his usual stoic expression curled up into a boyish grin as he started petting her and murmuring praises of how adorable she was.

   you could hardly believe your own two eyes. lee jeno, everyone’s picture-perfect example of a bad boy who looked like he walked straight out of the  cheesiest teenage rom-com flick was ... a softie for cats?

never in a million years would you have pictured this in your mind.

   you tried to stifle the laughter bubbling in your chest, but jeno looked up to catch your eyes. heat crept up your spine and consumed your face, causing you to look back down at the kitty who was nuzzling against him again.

“what’s so funny?” he asked, cocking his head and raising his eyebrows.

   you couldn’t help it if your heart decided to do somersaults seeing his innocent expression, resembling that of a confused five-year-old child.

you shook your head before softly asking, “she’s yours?”

   he bit back a grin at finally hearing your voice and reached into his jacket pocket to pull out a silver chain collar with a charm (engraved with “nal”), the silver bell attached to it lightly jingling. how ironic yet fitting, you thought.

“i can’t take her home with me because i’m allergic, so i let her roam around here and visit every day until i can find a place for her to stay,” he explains as he scratches her behind the ear, earning a delightful meow before slipping the chain over her head.

   you took a step back, mentally taking a snapshot of this moment. you couldn’t help but giggle lightly once you realized that jeno and nal looked almost exactly alike, as if nal was jeno in cat form, with her black and white fur adorned with a chain collar looking exactly like his usual monochromatic outfit and worn black leather jacket, not to mention the silver chain bracelets and necklace he wore all the time.

jeno’s head snapped up once again to watch you laugh.

his heart thumped a little harder than he would’ve liked to admit.

“bad boys don’t take care of stray cats,” you say, finally locking eyes with jeno. “especially the bad boys who are allergic to cats,” you smile.

   he shrugged, his boyish grin still etched on his handsome face. (screw handsome, you couldn’t lie — you’ve wondered on more than one occasion how blessed his parents must be to have a son whose looks could rival a professional model’s face.)

you couldn’t help but notice how different he seemed now, looking more like a carefree and lovable child rather than a reckless troublemaker.

“don’t judge a book by its cover, sweetheart,” he said before giving you a wink, starkly contrasting with the way he tried to hide how he scratched his reddening nape afterwards.

he gave one last gentle rub to nal’s head before standing up, getting on his motorbike. he looked back, with a glint of something in his eyes. “need a ride, sweetheart? or the cat still got your tongue?”

you froze in your spot, feeling your face turn hot with embarrassment. you weren’t used to this. it was the school’s bad boy after all.

but you could get used to it.

mustering all the courage inside of your shy mighty heart, you look down at nal and gave her a gentle kiss on the top of her head, letting her nibble on one last piece of watermelon.

“my mother always told me not to judge a book by its cover,” you mused, a hint of playfulness in your voice. “i guess i was wrong about you.”

“i’m y/n,” you added shyly.

jeno’s eyes crinkled into crescents, a genuine smile forming on his face.

“jeno.”

you walked hesitantly up to his bike, and took a seat behind him gingerly.

you let your arms fall to grip the sides of the seat, before jeno shook his head and lifted your hands up to wrap your arms securely around his toned torso. “hold on tight.”

guess your mother was right after all.

THE FAMILY BUSINESS

SUMMARY: Kylo Ren was a man to be feared, who just so happened to be your biggest rival. Families once allied now split apart, because you and Kylo could never get along. Even if there was something deeper beneath the surface of your petty fights, neither of you ever let it surface until one fateful night. Prompt fill for @cas-backwards-tie ‘s writing challenge - mob au and enemies to lovers

WARNINGS: SM*T, Kylo being an arrogant asshole

WORD COUNT: 4.1K 

TAGS: @oh-adam, @adamsnackdriver

Kylo nonchalantly waved his hand, gesturing away the man that was grovelling before him at his desk.

“Please! Boss, I don’t have the money...just a few more weeks I promise.” The man begged. Kylo scoffed at the pathetic man, he knew he shouldn’t have trusted him. Once again, it was his mistake in listening to Hux. The black pitbull that sat besides Kylo growled at him, making him back off.

“Good boy,” Kylo pet his dogs head.

“Wait-wait! I can get you something you want, information on the Romano family-they’re supposed to be getting a new shipment tonight.”

That peaked Kylo’s interest, the Romano family was his greatest adversary. And he owed them a special visit, they crossed him once after backing out on a deal and they were enemies ever since. He knew just why they backed out too, and he especially wanted to get back at that person.

You were the eldest daughter of the Romano family, and you sure were a fucking thorn in Kylo’s side. Even as children, you hated each other. At one point you were meant to be married, but you were always too spoiled to ever get along with him. He still remembered all your little schemes to get him in trouble, his parents always believing your perfect angelic smile.

Maybe there was one point where he did want you, all of the sudden one summer on your yearly family vacation, you had grown up. With his hormones raging, Kylo couldn’t help but stare at you in that swimsuit, which you filled out so well it should’ve been fucking illegal. But, he wasn’t as lucky. He was a bit of a late bloomer, he looked awkward and gangly and his ears stuck out. The creepy staring probably didn’t help, but he couldn’t help it!

The memory of that day still burned in his mind, how disgusted you looked at him. How you fucking told on him to his parents, and how his mother reprimanded him. You never said it, but he just knew you thought he was a loser. Pale, overly sensitive, and weak - you’d never find him attractive.

After that summer he was determined to prove you wrong, so Kylo changed. He worked on himself, spent a lot of time in the gym. And by the time that he had hit his growth spurt, grown out his hair to cover his ears, girls started looking at him differently. No one ever knew why, but they knew Kylo Ren came from a wealthy family, and everyone wanted a piece of that.

Maybe he did become a bit of a fuckboy, he had finally gained some confidence and now he was rolling in it. But you still looked at him with disgust, and that pissed him off.

“What princess? What is it gonna take for me to be good enough for little miss perfect? Huh?” Kylo asked you, frustrated with your clear distaste for him.

“Why the fuck would I want to marry a guy who sleeps around like you do?” You scoffed. The way you saw it, Kylo was shallow. He only payed you any mind once you started to develop, staring at you so intensely it frightened you - and you did anything to keep him from looking at you like that. You dressed more conservatively, gave him dirty looks, even told his mom because the heat of his gaze was just too much.

Kylo rolled his eyes, “You’re just a fucking prude.” He narrowed his eyes, frowning at your turtleneck. Honestly, seeing you dressed that way just pissed him off. “Princess, there isn’t anyway you can hide those tits of yours. Not even with all those damn turtlenecks. In fact maybe if you showed them off more, I’d be a little nicer to ya.” Kylo smirked.

Okay, maybe that was a dick thing to say. But he couldn’t stop the words spilling from his mouth, he blamed you for making him this way. You were just so goddam frustrating, always pissing him off.

You gasped, outraged you punched him right in the nose.

“Fuck! You bitch, my nose is fucking bleeding.” Kylo cursed, shouting at you as blood streamed down his face. He brought his hand up to cover his nose, and groaned in pain. His only retribution was that you might’ve broken your hand. But no, you just dusted off your knuckles, smirking at him.

“What? Afraid a little blood will dirty your clothes?” You mocked him, pouting.

“Fuck you,” Kylo spat blood at you, face scrunched up in anger. “When I take over the family, you and I are gonna be sworn enemies.”

“As if we aren’t already.” You shook your head.

Yeah, that was the end of that engagement.

True to his word when Kylo took over, he cut ties completely with your family. Maybe his mother was pissed at him for it, and maybe it wasn’t the best business move. But it was worth it to see the look on his face, show you he meant what he said all those years ago.

He had kept his distance from your family, but with this new information he had his chance to take a hit on his biggest competitor. “Fine, I’m feeling generous. I’ll give you a week.” Kylo told the man.

Luckily the fool knew better than to complain about the short amount of time, and thanked the boss for his graciousness. “Now get the fuck outta my sight,” Kylo pointed to the door.

Once left alone, Kylo sighed. He opened the desk of his drawer to pull something out. It was a picture from a few years back, your 21st birthday, wearing that cursed turtleneck and frowning at the gift he gave you. An embarrassingly scandalous piece of lace, that made your face flush and Kylo smirk as everyone stared at the offending item. The punishment was worth seeing that look on your face, mouth in an oh shape as you picked up the necklace that came with it...princess spelled out in gold letters. How your parents had to stop you from tackling him to the ground, all so worth it.

“That’s right princess, you’re finally gonna get what’s coming.” Kylo stared at the picture in his hand, a devilish smirk forming on his face.

Truthfully, you wanted no part of the family business. It was never your dream, you always wanted to become a doctor. But part way through med school your parents pulled you out, with Kylo now at the helm they needed your set of skills. So here you were, freezing your ass off at the dock, dressed in black from head to toe with a bullet proof vest under your suit jacket.

You hated having any part of this, selling weapons. But family was family, and you were loyal to yours. You just had a bad feeling about tonight, about Kylo Ren making an unwanted appearance. Your father said nothing would happen, that he’d never attack like that, but you didn’t hold the same opinion.

And now here you were, watching over the exchange with a shotgun at your side. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, until black cars came from nowhere. “Fuck he’s here, get a move on we’ve got company.” You barked out orders, whistling for back up.

The man himself stepped out of a car, surrounded by a few men with very big guns. You narrowed your eyes at him, lips pressed in a thin line. Kylo just smirked, bathing in your anger. He fucking loved to rile you up.

Your people stood ready to shoot, but you held them back. Knowing Kylo would want to talk first, offer some sort of ridiculous deal. “Well, you’re here, what do you fucking what?”

Kylo hissed, grasping his chest dramatically, “Ooh princess, is that how you greet your former fiancé.”

You let out a harsh laugh, “That’s putting it nicely, no Kylo, that’s how I greet a man holding me at fucking gunpoint.” You took a step forward, challenging him.

“Look princess, we all know this could get real bloody and no one really wants that. So I propose we make a deal.” Kylo takes a step forward to match yours, now looming over you.

“Only if it’s reasonable.” You replied.

“Nothing is reasonable in your eyes.” He shot back. “I want you, to be my personal guard dog. I know your skills princess, I want you to work for me.” He spoke lowly as he explained the deal, seductively.

You felt insulted, “You think I’d give up my family, give up everything for you!”

“No princess, I think you’d give it up to prevent blood on your hands.” Kylo took a step forward, now chest to chest with you, placing his hand over your hip.

“Fuck you!” You cursed at him. He was so distracted he didn’t feel the barrel of your gun against him. And when he did, you pulled the trigger. No way you could miss at that distance. Kylo fell back against the ground, clutching his stomach. It wasn’t the first time he’d been shot, but he wasn’t expecting it from you. Even with the vest it hurt like a bitch. He shouted orders at his men while you held a defensive position, you were prepared, you told everyone exactly what to do if Kylo came and they were ready.

In moments everything was a mess of gunfire, somehow a smoke bomb thrown out in the mix and everything that made everything a blur. You could hear Kylo shouting, no doubt furious that you shot him and you couldn’t help but smirk to yourself at that.

When the smoke cleared, the gunfire stopped. And in the middle stood yours and Kylos parents, Leia Organa herself glaring at her son.

“This-” She pointed to you and Kylo, men coming out of nowhere to grab the two of you and bring you to them. “Has gone too far.” She looked pointedly at her son.

“What! I didn’t do anything!” You defended.

“Yeah fucking right,” Kylo scoffed, still trying to wrestle himself out of the men’s arms until his mother gave him a look. You chose to save your dignity and to not struggle.

“No sweetheart, my son has been an ass to you, but you didn’t need to shoot him.” Leia says to you.

“Hey-” Kylo begins to defend but gets cut off.

“And you! We specifically told you not to do something like this Kylo, the Romano’s are not our enemies. They are our dear friends. You need to put whatever you have with Y/N aside, and apologize.”

Kylo huffed and turned his head away, “And what if I refuse?” He said smoothly.

“She needs to apologize too,” Your parents added.

“What! No way,” You shook your head, while Kylo snickered.

“We had a feeling you’d say that,” Leia crossed her arms. “So, until you two make up, you’re on lockdown.”

“We’ve got a special place for the two of you, and you’re not going to be able to leave until you make up.” Your father added.

Kylo frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“You’ll see,” Leia winked at him, and you swear his face turned white as a ghost. Shit, this was gonna be bad.

Soon you were shoved back in the car with Kylo, which sped off to some unknown destination before you and Kylo could do anything. Kylo tried to make a call, but found his cell service was mysteriously nonexistent. “Fuck, we’re screwed.”

He turned to see you staring out the window, back turned and ignoring him. “Princess, we should at least try and make up look maybe I-” Kylo began to apologize, but you cut him off.

“I don’t want to talk right now Kylo.” You grumbled at him.

“But-”

“Please!” And he shut up after that. It didn’t stop him from letting out a heavy sigh, which seemed to grate on your nerves.

You felt really upset, stuck in a car with Kylo was the last place you wanted to be. He’d insulted your pride too many times to count, and acted like a child around you.

It wasn’t until you were shuffled out of the car into a cable car, carrying you up into a mountain that you said, “We really are screwed.” You frowned.

“Yeah, finally you’ve said something that makes some fucking sense,” Kylo laughed. You only glared at him, and he actually apologized, “Sorry.”

But, it was hard to believe an apology coming from him. Even if it seemed genuine. A trick to humiliate you in the end no doubt. It was freezing on the mountain as you and Kylo watched the cable car descend, leaving you and him to survive in the little log cabin behind you.

You opened the door and Kylo followed, making his distaste known right away as he pointed to the bed, “What the fuck is this! Some kind of joke.”

It was a one room cabin, with a fireplace, a bathroom, and a little kitchenette, a queen bed tucked in the corner. You felt heat rush to your face as you thought of having to share a bed with Kylo, oh this was going to be rough.

Kylo looked between the bed and back at you, “That’s gonna be a tight fit.”

“And what is that supposed to mean! You’re the one who’s a fucking sasquatch.”

Kylo placed his hand on the side of your head against the wall, caging you with his broad shoulders. “So what if I am princess, don’t get your granny panties in a twist.” His hot breath hit your face as he leaned in, the tension between you thick enough to be cut by a knife.

“I do not wear granny panties!”

“Really? Prove it to me,” He purred. You were turning him on, sure you fucking shot him earlier but he still had a thing for you. He always did. That’s what pissed him off about you, managing to be likeable even when you insulted him. And seeing you pissed off, he lived for it. So what if it got him off? He was gonna marry you after all.

“Oh my god! You perv, you’re getting turned on aren’t you? You just wanna see me in my underwear. Typical to always be thinking of sex even now.” You pushed against his chest, seeing right through his words and the pink dusting on his cheeks. Of course he didn’t budge, instead pressing himself flush against you.

“And why does that bother you so much princess? I’m a man and I have fucking eyes, sorry if I’m not allowed to be attracted to you, my fucking ex fiancé.”

“You don’t want me, you don’t even know me. You just want my body.”

Kylo leaned closer to speak into your ear, “I sure fucking do, I’d be crazy not to.” He growled.

You pressed harder against the hard planes of his chest, and when that did nothing you kneed him where you shot him in the stomach. Making him stumbled backwards. Angry now, the two of you were on each other, wrestling on the ground. Using your thighs you pinned Kylo’s hips to the ground, holding his wrists to the floor with your hands.

Kylo looked up at you, his cheeks flushed and panting. “Worst thing is you don’t even realize how fucking hot you are.” He rasped, admiration in your eyes. It was rare anyone could pin him, and maybe he let you do it just a little bit. But he couldn’t deny your strength.

“Shut up.” You placed your hand over his mouth. He started to laugh, vibrating against your fingers. As you adjusted the hold of straddle against him, Kylo groaned. He really was turned on, and now you could feel it against you, of course he was huge there too.

Instead of getting off him, you gasped, your mouth in that same little oh shape as your 21st birthday. Fuck Kylo loved seeing you make that face, he thrusted his hips in approval, grinding back against you.

You quickly turned your head down, biting your lip as you tried to fight your arousal. Was it bad that fighting with him like this turned you on? Knowing that he still wanted you, even after you had done everything to make him think otherwise all these years.

He tested your reaction, grinding against you a second time, hard enough to make you let out an undignified little squeak. “Stop-” You protested weakly, not really meaning it.

Kylo got out of your hold easily and sat up, now holding you by the waist in his lap. “Listen, I was trying to say it earlier but you interrupted me. I am sorry, princess, I am.”

“No-you don’t mean that,” You whimpered, sniffling.

“I do,” Kylo said softly. “I’m sorry for calling you a bitch that one time, I deserved that punch. I’m sorry for sleeping around-I was confused and, being a huge dick. I’m sorry I didn’t show you that I cared, or ever made you feel uncomfortable with my staring.”

“No Kylo, that’s not it,” You murmured.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean-I like your staring, maybe too much. That’s why I was uncomfortable.” You confessed.

Kylo purred in appreciation, “Oh? You like the way I look at you, how...interesting.” He rubbed his hand along your back.

“Don’t tease me now!” You hid your face in his chest, embarrassed.

“You’re so cute,” He hummed. “Makes me want to eat you out.”

“Kylo!”

“Shh, princess. I still need to make it up to you.” Kylo kissed the top of your head. He lifted you up in his arms, and placed you down on the bed.

“Woah-don’t you think this is a little fast? We apologized, we can leave.”

“Hmm I don’t know about that, I still think we have some making up to do.” Kylo kissed your neck, crawling on top of you. “Besides don’t you think it would be nice, just you and me completely isolated. No one to bother us for a couple of days. Like the honeymoon I never got to give you. And technically sweetheart you haven’t apologized yet, but I won’t force it out of you.”

“You actually wanted to marry me?” You ask in disbelief.

“Why is that so hard to believe? You’re a gorgeous, intelligent, sexy woman who always keeps me on my toes. You’re my match and I lo-like you, I always have. That’s why you’re so damn frustrating.”

You furrowed your brows, “It never seemed like that.” Your heart skipping a beat at his almost confession.

“Well, give me a few days to prove you wrong. I just need...one more chance, I’ve grown up a lot since we were engaged. I’d treat you better than any man could, like a princess.” He kissed your cheek.

He was so hard to resist when he was sweet talking you like this, when you still could feel the heat of his body pressed against you. Slowly your resistance was melting away, leaving behind the undeniable truth. That you liked him too. Maybe that’s why some of the things he did hurt you so much, but you had time to get over that. And now, the man before you who was pleading for another chance, he was the one you always dreamed Kylo would be. So, you said yes.

He didn’t even give you a second to change your mind before he was kissing you. Humming in pleasure as you kissed him back, as he tasted the sweetness of your tongue. “Fuck this needs to come off,” He pawed at the straps of your bulletproof vest. He had taken his off after he got shot, but you still had yours on.

When he got that off, he groaned as he was met with the soft flesh under your clothes. “This too.” He tugged on your turtleneck. He growled when he saw your lacy bra, overeager and squeezing your breasts in his hands. “Yes, fuck. Can’t wait to worship these babies, I’ve been dying to get my hands on these tits for years.”

“Yeah I’ve noticed.” You laugh, until Kylo pulls back your bra to get his mouth over a nipple. He sucks and bites gently, finally taking off your bra so he can properly massage the other breast. He pulls back for a moment to look at you, before purring and nuzzling your tits.

You help tug off his shirt, wanting to feel more of him and frown seeing the bruise on his abdomen with a circle of broken skin. “I’m sorry about that.”

“No, princess. I deserved that too.” He shook his head, leaning in for another kiss. You obliged him, and he smiled against your lips.

His attention was next set between your legs, “Now, I really do wanna see what underwear you wear.” He pulled down your pants suddenly, eyes widening at the familiar black lace. “Oh princess you didn’t, fuck it’s like you knew I was gonna fuck you later. A matching fucking set of all things.” Kylo groaned, dropping his head in your chest in mock defeat.

Before you could tease him or defend yourself, his mouth was on your pussy. Lapping over the fabric against the heat of your cunt, pulling it aside with two fingers lazily in his greed for more of your taste. You whine and call his name, only making him amp up his efforts.

He settles your thighs on his shoulders, his hand holding one thigh as the other rubs over your clit with the rough pad of his thumb. You arch your hips and he rewards you by dragging his tongue against your walls, rubbing your clit harder. He moans as you gush wetness over his mouth, his plump lips puckering over your pussy. You continue to writhe in pleasure and he hums in approval, the vibration of it making you clench on his tongue.

To work you open properly, he switches his fingers with his tongue, starting with just his middle finger curling inside you. Still, he lavishes your clit with his tongue and lips, kissing, sucking, and licking his way to your orgasm as he fucks you with his fingers.

As you cum he praises you, savoring the sound of your wet pussy against his fingers, “Yes that’s it, good girl, let your sweet pussy cum right on my fingers. Get it nice and ready for my cock.”

He leaves his pants on when he pulls out his cock, stroking himself as you come down from your high. “You look so beautiful like that princess, I can’t wait to ruin your tight little pussy with my cum.”

He splits you open with his thick cock, his thighs spreading yours apart so he can reach even deeper. “Fuck princess you’re pussy is sucking me right in, bet you’re just aching to get fucked.”

He rocks his hips slowly at first, letting you adjust to the size of him, grunting and panting at your heat and wetness. Then he grabs the headboard of the bed, and leverages it to begin fucking you in earnest. You start to let out little moans, and he smirks. “Yeah? You like that huh? Good thing no one’s around to hear me fucking you like this.”

The cockiness is what gets you, makes you whine for him. “Yes, keep making that noise, so sweet for me,” He coos, cupping your face with one hand.

“Oh fuck, princess I’m gonna cum, fill up that tight pussy.” He warns you. Kylo pauses for a second, only to use that moment to start fucking you so hard the bed sounds like it’s going to break. Squeaking, his balls slapping against your ass, fucking you like a wild beast as he cums. He lets out a breath that he’s been holding, his hair dripping with sweat and his chest flushed red. He rubs your over sensitive clit with his fingers to make you cum a second time, before settling down next to you.

He kicks off his pants, wiping you clean with his underwear before swinging a thigh over you. Kylo softly nuzzles your neck, placing soft little kisses as you catch your breath, his hand caressing your belly. “Mmmm, so nice...you felt so nice, even better than I imagined.” He yawns.

“I’m keeping you for a few days at least my love, then maybe we can get eloped,” He murmurs, basking in the afterglow of his pleasure. “Don’t expect me to let you go anytime soon.”

i curse your name (but cherish you in secret)? also i love all your work sm how you write different characters is beautiful

Omg thank you so much!!!

Because I've gotten this fic twice in my inbox, I'll use this one to post snippets and the other one to post the general concept!

I hope these are understandable outside of the context!

Snippet 1 (takes place before they fake date)

Regulus was leaning against the wall, hands crossed in front of his chest and looking overall uncomfortable. His presence was utterly confusing, their last fight had taken place just yesterday. James didn't think someone like him would grow a heart just because their sworn enemy was in the hospital.

"What are you doing here?" Was asking that question before even greeting him rude? Yes. But James and his pain-killer-fed mind didn't care.

Regulus merely shrugged, eyes flitting over James' bandaged shoulder. "After the shit Snape's been spewing about you, one might as well fear you were dead."

"The thought of me dying is frightening to you?" It sounded teasing, but James was honestly surprised. He would've thought the boy before him would sooner dance on his grave than making sure he was alive.

"The thought of anyone dying certainly isn't pleasant." Regulus scowled. "Besides, without your rent, we wouldn't be able to afford the flat anymore."

James closed his eyes and let out a short laugh, ignoring the pain in his shaking shoulder. Of course Regulus would use rent as an excuse, instead of admitting that he was worried.

He opened his eyes just in time to see Regulus hesitantly sit down on the chair beside the bed. Regulus, his rival, his arch nemesis, his flatmate, his friend, seemed awfully nervous, judging by the way he fiddled with his sleeves. "How are you?"

In the one year of knowing each other, James had never heard his voice so thin, almost vulnerable. James half-shrugged, conscious of not moving his injured shoulder. "I've been better." He studied Regulus' expression, not knowing what he was searching for. "Why do you care?"

"I don't," Regulus decided. "I guess it's just strange to see that you can..."

"Fail?"

"Bleed." He took a deep breath. "Sometimes it's just easy to forget you're human like the rest of us."

Snippet 2 (this one takes place during their fake dating)

"She didn't have to be so rude to you, though," James insisted.

Regulus nodded. "I agree. But you have to admit that we do make a weird couple," he pointed out. "I doubt people would pair the hot captain of the football team with the pasty loner."

Throwing him a bewildered look, James came to a stop. "How high is your body count?"

Regulus narrowed his eyes at him. "... zero," he answered suspiciously.

"Reggie, I've heard you have sex before."

"Oh!" He exclaimed. "Oh, you mean... right! Ehm, around twenty-seven? Maybe. I lost count." Regulus shrugged.

James ruffled his hair in frustration. "How can you have a body count of twenty-seven and still think of yourself as unattractive? People always check you out everywhere we go!"

"No, they don't," he refuted.

"Oh, trust me, they do. I've noticed."
