#k so i started watching the shera show just to see if catradora is as bad as people say it is#(because seeing that people hate a ship makes me 200% more invested fyi)#and like. i do Not see it girlies#i do think the show is as shallow as they come and maybe the whole catradora backstory is too much for it#currently on ep 4? 5? of s2 and i'm pretty comfy with the fact that catradora will be endgame#because their dynamic is easily the most interesting one in the show#although crab lady (what was her name....) and catra scratch an itch of mine too#mainly bc i am really into one sided pining#and i like that (oh it's scorpia i remembered) scorpia is the easy option for catra#someone who idealizes her and is already invested in the idea of getting together with her#and catra having this realization of the nature of scorpia's feelings in that episode (4? 5?) like UGH that's some good shit right there#but what stood up to me about the show was how uhhhh like there's so much ship bait everywhere#not in a malicious way. just in the way that there's ship teases for a lot of pairings in the show#like glimmer and adora and bow with uhh everyone (disaster bisexual characters my beloved)#like it just feels very queer positive and casual. i really like that#but yeah. so far i'm not head over heels with catradora but i definitely think it has a lot of potentiak#and the fact that they are the endgame couple is pleasing to me#like IMAGINE identifying the couple with the most potential and making it canon. some other shows could've learned that lesson#oh well! (lumity why are you so fucking boring it pains me)

you're SO REAL for calling those children feral bahah Im not sure if you ever answered this but what's your ideal age range to teach?
I AM MOURNING MY HOT PROFESSOR 😭
THOSE DO COUNT BESTIE!!! I am a HUGE supporter for funding the arts especially in public schools! but NOT THE VOICES?! but lowkey me too lol But i bet your voice isn't as bad as you may think!! Also you having a Harry air freshener is very much on brand for you in the best way possible! what's the scent bestie? do you lean more towards sweet scents or floral?
Omg Harry would not want me in a band like that Im not cool enough hahah so i played the tuba... wild bc I started when I was like 7 and it was such an odd instrument for a young child BUT my first music teacher saw like "potential" in me or whatever and honestly i was wanting to play something shiny lol and all my education was done through school and luckily they were all preforming art schools! and like my connection to music is more complex than that but yeah lol which is also why i am a big supporter for anything creative in general!
ALSO THE PHYSICS EXTRA WAS SOOO GOOD!!!! They are just so cute! I do love some angst once in a while and once again I am living through them lol Makes so much sense that they would have this "misunderstanding" of them being official or not. Especially if they never stated it and knowing how the MC does have her insecurities surrounding the girls Harry use to surround herself with, I don't blame her for answering like that! Oh and it was so cute how we got to see them both slightly freak out about one another lol
AND THEY SAID THEY LOVE EACH OTHER😭 AND HARRY ASKING HER TO BE IS GF?! SO CUTE! all of it was so cute! You did so great bestie! Hope you're okay, love you!-💜
It's my own fault tbh. I teach at the high school level. Mainly 14/15 year old hooligans but I have a group of 17/18 year olds that are a delight to teach despite the fact they probs hate me lol. Add in teaching math they get tired of me pretty quick (it was pi day yesterday! 🎉) though I can't imagine why! 😂
I am in no way tooting my own horn but I am a good singer (you would hope, I sang for a really long time. I would think one of my teachers would have told me) I just am too shy to sing in front of people lol
Ma'am the Harry air freshners I have are HORRIBLE scent-wise HAHAHAHAHA but the scent goes away quick and honestly I just keep them to look at Harry while driving. The current one i have is him dressed as Dorothy from Harryween but I think it's time to swap him out for another one. I got them off Etsy! They're really cute even if they smell bad. I don't know how to say this but I don't know what scents I like? I like the idea of florals but it's gotta be subtle. I love the smell of cotton/clean linen type scents (anything that smells fresh) and I also LOVE Christmas candles. If it smells like pine, or balsam, or sandalwood count me in. I want it to smell like a campfire without the campfire if that makes sense.
Harry would appreciate the musicality in you for sure! I bet we could pop some tuba into one of the songs! Music for a Sushi Restaurant already has a lot going on, why not add the tuba as well? It's so special music is something you are so passionate about and I think it's really cool you're into the technical side of things of music as well. I never took music theory (but I hear there is some math involved so I wish I did!) but nonetheless, I love STEM stuff but you can't have one without the other. I think I would die without music.
SO glad you liked Physics! I know you saw I really wasn't sure what to do with it so I'm glad it worked out well! It's really nice I have you to analyze my own writing because sometimes I miss the stuff you point out (like the part regarding how she doesn't know it's official/how he was around other girls) LOL Usually I just write stuff until I see fit and post it without thinking much of it outside of grammar, spellcheck, and making sure it flows okay hehehehe I appreciate you so much! 💕 I think they'll both be much happier being official now too 🤭
hope you have a lovely weekend!
xoxo

blah blah lahaichckssbxhjssb normal mutuals ignore cuz i'm being mentally ill abt a nearly ten year old video game
idk why (except i do) i can't ship josh with anyone but i know i technically do??? i don't ship in the traditional sense like one time my friend was like "oh you tagging chris/josh when there was barely any" and j was like WELL? there technically js? theyre fwb but i guess it isn't really a ship except it is
josh to me is like all around unavailable. he's charming, and ppl are attracted to that. i think he gets a lot of offers and asks and whatnot but always says no because he has trouble with romance and commitment. he never leads anyone on bc he can very easily say no when he's clear headed
and then on the flip side, he's not really attracted to anyone. not that affectionate either except for the occasional pet name (calling sam honey, calling chris cochise, i hc he says babe or baby sometimes to literally anyone) and he's just very closed off and reserved, unreadable and you cannot tell if he's interested in someone or not (he's attentive but not to the point where it's like Oh he's attracted) like it's just hard to tell
and then underneath that, it's true. he's not really interested in anyone. maybe this is a projection on my part but it's hard for me to be interested in anyone bc i can't imagine myself being with Anyone. certain people i just like their faces from an artistic standpoint, but other than that i'm kinda just not interested at all. so i project that onto him, cuz like. maybe it's an anxiety depression mental thing !??!?! so him having that isn't too far fetched idk
but there's some dynamics that i enjoy between him and sam & him and chris. talking abt them mainly bc they're like. his established friendships. like we know these pairs have history together (so i won't be talking abt jessjosh, which is honestly just a fun combo of my faves, and in canon, there's not a lot to go off of with them).
i do kinda enjoy the worrisome nature that chris and sam share over josh. it's an interesting type of attraction where they're curious about how he feels, but know he won't tell, so they're left to speculate and at the end of the day, just be concerned (if they feel they have to be). and he kinda holds their attention that way
so that's why when i "ship" these pairs, it's usually one sided and then it goes into me not rly calling it a ship bc i don't view them as established or healthy in any way. for me, i ship pairs when they are normally healthy and not toxic, because it just feels eh to me idk
and when it's one sided, it's usually on sam or chris's end, due to that interesting attraction i mentioned earlier. idk if anyone else thinks like this when shipping these pairs (and idk if i could call it shipping cuz nothing ever comes out of their relationship), cuz i have seen a lot of fics where josh is the one pining for chris or sam and it never read right to me???
bc he's not this like outwardly emotional person, he also seems like the type to not really commit to this type of thing, so the idea of him wanting to actually be with someone is like out of realm
ok it is 5 am

Tumblr media
naruto is awoken from his dream, a thin layer of sweat coating his heated skin. it’s still dark outside and all that breaks the silence is the gentle pants that escape his lips. 
he’s hot. so unbearably hot. 
and... sticky? 
a hand strokes down his heaving chest, fingers pausing to gently brush against the small patch of neatly trimmed hair. his skin is damp with his seed and he swallows back a groan as he dares to touch his sensitive skin. 
it’s happened again. 
his eyes squeeze shut, tight. his hand falls to his side and he exhales heavily. he tries his best to recall his dream, and whilst he can’t pinpoint the details, he knows exactly whom it was about. 
‘sasuke,’ he whispers. 
he groans, eyes still screwed shut as he runs his fingers through his hair, tugging. 
‘fuck.’ 
he’s lost count of how many times he’s dreamed of his best friend this month. hell, over the past few years. dreams about doing things that best friends shouldn’t be doing. not together, anyway. naruto knows it’s wrong. so unbelievably wrong that he’s used to the guilt he feels every time he sees sasuke’s face. but he can’t help it. 
he’s tried to ignore it. tried to not think of inappropriate things whenever he sees his best friend stalking around the house without a shirt on. tried to act that he doesn’t want to kiss him every time sasuke blesses him with one of his very rare smiles. tried to pretend that he’s not been in love with sasuke for past six years—
holy shit. 
has it really been that long? 
he lies still for a while, but his thoughts are interrupted by the heat growing in the pit of his belly, the temperature of his room stifling. 
he eyes the digital clock on the bedside table, brows furrowing when he sees the time. three am. he knows he should roll over, forget his dream and go back to sleep. but he’s wide awake now and he knows that he won’t sleep for a while yet. his hand gingerly traces the underside of his cock, his skin both warm and wet to the touch. he shudders, fingers curling around himself, gently tugging. 
it’s not long before he builds a pace that makes his breath shake, his toes curling underneath the bedsheets. 
‘f-fuck,’ he groans, hips arching an inch above the mattress as he thrusts into his palm. ‘sasuke…’ 
he stifles a cry with the fist of his spare hand, tears forming in the corners of his eyes as he nears his peak.
but then suddenly, something interrupts his moment of bliss. 
a noise, a shuffle, whatever it is, naruto isn’t sure. it was barley audible, but his eyes snap open nonetheless, only to widen seconds later when he sees the shadow looming in the doorway. he immediately stills, feeling his own face pale as he realises he’s been caught. 
how long has he been stood there? 
naruto doesn’t move. 
he can’t see sasuke’s face clearly, but he hears the sharp intake of breath.
‘naruto.’ 
his name is murmured into the darkness and even amidst his panic, naruto can’t help but bite his bottom lip at the sound. his stomach coils with nerves, and as subtly as he can, he slowly removes his hand, daring to push himself into an upright position. luckily, the sheets pool at his waist, allowing him some form of modesty. but it’s already too late. he’s been caught and now he feels sick. 
‘i’m—’
‘naruto,’ sasuke repeats his name just as slowly as the first time. he takes a step into the room, the moonlight breaching through the gap in the curtains and illuminating the right side of his face. his expression is unreadable, and it terrifies naruto. dread fills him and his lips begin to part, ready to say something - anything - in a desperate attempt to salvage their friendship. but sasuke beats him to it. ‘what are you doing?’
naruto stares at him. 
sasuke takes another step forward. the door swings shut and suddenly, the room feels a lot hotter than it had a few minutes ago. naruto isn’t even sure how it’s possible. 
he glances from the door, to sasuke, and back again. 
‘whaddya mean?’ he knows he’s trapped. there’s no way he’d beat sasuke to the door. and whilst a part of him that wants to escape and pretend that his best friend hadn’t just caught him masturbating, he’s also curious as to why sasuke hasn’t left yet. and so he sits up straighter, meeting sasuke’s glare with one of his own. ‘what’s it look like i’m doin’?’ 
sasuke’s reply is delayed. 
his gaze flickers down naruto’s chest, the skin glistening with sweat, and naruto doesn’t miss the way his throat bobs as he swallows. he mimics the action, fisting the sheets into the palms of his hands. 
‘it looked like,’ sasuke replies after a tense moment of silence, ‘you were jerking one out.’ 
‘so?’ naruto blurts, defensive. ‘it’s my room. i can have a wank if i want to.’ 
the corner of sasuke’s mouth quirks upwards. 
‘what the fuck are you doin’ in here anyway?’ naruto snaps. ‘it’s three in the fuckin’ mornin’.’ 
‘i was on my way back from using the bathroom,’ sasuke drawls. 
‘so, what? you decided to take a detour or summin’?’ 
‘kind of hard not to when i was on my way back to bed after taking a piss,’ sasuke snaps, arms crossing over his chest, ‘only to hear someone moaning my name.’ 
naruto doesn’t have a reply. 
his cheeks are hot and he thinks he’s going to vomit. 
sasuke’s smile is wicked. he takes another step closer and naruto tenses. 
‘it’s not what it—’
‘please don’t insult my intelligence,’ sasuke hisses, eyes narrowed. ‘we both know it was exactly what it looked like.’ 
suddenly, he’s standing right in front of naruto, lean frame tall and menacing as he leans closer. 
‘how many times?’ 
naruto blinks, ‘huh?’ 
sasuke’s hand reaches out and brushes naruto’s fringe back from his face. there’s an expression of both awe and confusion on the blonde’s face, and the sight of it makes sasuke’s smirk widen. 
‘how many times have you touched yourself thinking of me?’ 
naruto is silent for a second and then he’s slapping sasuke’s hand away, angry and embarrassed. 
‘fuck off, sasuke.’ 
sasuke stands above him, eyes dark as he watches naruto glare back up at him. 
‘this ain’t funny.’ 
‘i didn’t say it was,’ sasuke replies slowly. 
‘and it ain’t a game either.’ 
‘i know.’ 
‘i don’t just… not for anyone else,’ in his panic, naruto’s mouth keeps running. 
‘i know.’ 
‘i—i’m not some kind of pervert… i don’t do it all the time… i was asleep ‘n’ then i woke up ‘n’ i couldn’t sleep… it just kinda happened—’
‘i know, naruto.’ 
‘i only do it ‘cause i lo—’ he manages to slap a hand over his own mouth before he can finish his sentence. 
sasuke’s eyes are burning into his, and naruto wishes the ground would swallow him whole. sasuke is touching his hair again, his fingers much gentler this time. ‘because?’ 
naruto thinks he’s going to cry. 
he’d just wanted to go back to sleep. 
how the hell did it end up like this?
‘because?’ sasuke presses, tugging harshly on a strand of blonde hair, the lock wrapping around his index finger. 
‘don’t,’ naruto begs, his voice shaking. 
‘don’t what?’ 
‘you fuckin’ know what,’ naruto hisses. ‘quit playin’ with me.’ he leans back, out of sasuke’s reach. ‘i won’t do it again, i promise. just… just—what—? what are you doin’?’
sasuke is shifting closer until he’s kneeling on the bed, fingers dancing along naruto’s arms. he tickles along naruto’s collarbones before his fingers tangle in the thick locks of hair. his grip is strong enough to tilt naruto’s head backwards, leaning forward until their lips are just a breaths apart. ‘just what?’
naruto really doesn’t understand how they got into this situation. 
he’s confused, embarrassed and elated all at once. in all the years they’ve been friends, sasuke has never touched him like this, never, ever, looked at him like this. and yet those black orbs are focused on him in such a lust-filled haze that it makes four words spill past naruto’s lips before he can think twice. 
‘just kiss me already.’ 
and sasuke complies. 
his nose gently bumps against naruto’s before his eyes close, their lips moulding together. 
sasuke tastes just as sweet as naruto has imagined, along with the faint scent of the coffee naruto saw him drink just before going to bed. he still can’t believe this is happening, his thoughts reeling as sasuke’s hands brush against his ribcage, his tongue teasing against naruto’s own. naruto’s hands shake as he daringly tangles his fingers in sasuke’s hair, pulling. this earns him a low, breathy moan, the sound travelling through naruto’s eardrums and straight down to his groin. he shivers. 
sasuke is kissing him feverishly now, his body pressing closer, his hands wandering dangerously close to naruto’s waist. naruto groans, sasuke’s teeth nipping at his bottom lip. then, he’s pulling away, breaking their kiss, and naruto follows, craving more. 
sasuke’s smile is light and easy and the sight of it makes naruto’s cheeks burn. 
using his thumb to wipe the saliva from naruto’s bottom lip, sasuke murmurs, ‘because?’ 
naruto stills, eyes darting towards the window, away from sasuke’s heated gaze. 
‘naruto,’ sasuke whispers against his cheek, lips ghosting over his skin. ‘say it.’ 
naruto’s eyes squeeze shut. his fists curl around the bedsheets. he inhales once, twice, thrice, and without daring to look at his best friend, he finally mutters, ‘’cause i love you.’ 
there’s a frightening silence. 
naruto’s expression is pained as he slowly peels his eyes open to see that sasuke has sat back on the heels of his feet, watching him. once again, his features lack any form of feeling. instantly, naruto knows that sasuke doesn’t feel the same and he’s unable to stop the tears from welling in the corner of his eyes. he sniffles, looking away, knees drawing up so he can rest his elbows. 
‘again.’ 
naruto glances at his friend, voice wobbly as he asks, ‘what?’ 
sasuke is shuffling closer. his facade has broken and now he looks as if he’s going to cry. he reaches for naruto, who allows sasuke’s arms to wrap tightly around his shoulders. nose bumping against naruto’s neck, his breath tickles as he exhales deeply, his shoulders sagging. naruto hesitantly curls his arms around sasuke’s waist, unsure of how to feel. sasuke’s body is warm against his own and as sasuke breathes, naruto stares at the difference in their skin tone. 
‘say it again,’ sasuke begs, voice tight with hesitation. 
‘i love you?’ naruto repeats, his words sounding more like a question than a declaration of his feelings. 
a finger jabs at naruto’s ribs and he grunts, flinching. 
‘not like that.’ sasuke’s head lifts, his arms remaining trapped around naruto’s shoulders as he stares into a pair of wide blue eyes. he sees the fear on naruto’s face and in an attempt to soothe him, he gently rubs circles into the back of his neck. naruto’s eyes close briefly before reopening, heavily lidded as they focus on sasuke. ‘say it like you mean it,’ sasuke nudges closer, knees bumping against naruto’s leg. the sheets are just managing to hide the blonde’s bare skin and sasuke’s fingers twitch. 
naruto clears his throat, watching those black orbs trailing down his body. he swallows thickly, hands tightening their hold on sasuke’s waist. he’s unsure of where things are heading. a large part of him hopes that there’s even just a tiny, shred of a chance of the uchiha returning his feelings. but a much larger part makes him doubt. whilst naruto knows that sasuke has never dated before —or, at least, to his knowledge—he’s definitely never shown an interest in naruto either. 
in all honesty, this feels like a dream to him.
but here he is, breathing in sasuke’s scent, basking in sasuke’s touch, his voice, his— 
‘naruto—’ 
‘i love you so much.’ 
sasuke looks at him. for a long time. and naruto simply stares back. 
his stomach churns with nerves and he feels the palms of his hands growing sweaty. tiredly, he pulls his arms back, letting them rest limply at his sides. sasuke mimics him, reluctantly. 
‘i’m sorry.’ 
sasuke’s eyebrows pull together. 
naruto isn’t looking at him now, his gaze focused on the window once more. ‘i—i didn’t think you were awake…’ he trails off, cheeks red. ‘i know it’s wrong, and i promise, i swear, sasuke, i won’t do it again.’ he wipes at his eyes and sasuke knows he’s crying. ‘i just… just-fuck! i don’t know!’ naruto aggressively runs his fingers through his hair, exasperated. ‘i love you… a lot, actually… have for ages, ya know?’ 
sasuke did not know. 
naruto chuckles nervously. he’s still not looking at sasuke. ‘sakura told me to tell you, but i… couldn’t. couldn’t risk ruinin’ this,’ he waves a hand between himself and sasuke. he finally looks up, ‘i’m really fuckin’ sorry—’
‘how long?’ sasuke asks. 
naruto blinks back a stray tear, ‘how long what?’ 
‘sakura,’ sasuke spits out her name. ‘how long has she known?’ 
naruto grimaces, immediately looking away again. he mumbles under his breath, sighing heavily before repeating his words a little louder, ‘since you helped me cheat on that maths test we took back in year nine.’ 
sasuke scowls, ‘you’re telling me… you’ve loved me for… six years… and that sakura knew… before me?’ 
naruto’s expression is sad now. His lips tilt into a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes, ‘pathetic, right?’ 
‘six fucking years!’ sasuke snaps, his eyes glowering with heated anger. ‘you didn’t tell me,’ he hisses, ignoring the way naruto leans back slightly, the sheet dragging dangerously low across his skin, ‘for six damned years!?’ 
naruto gapes, ‘i—i—’
‘do you know how long i’ve waited?’ sasuke asks, his voice lowering into hoarse growl. ‘how many years i’ve waited for you to open your fucking eyes?’ 
‘sasuke, i—’ 
‘shut up,’ sasuke orders harshly, and naruto’s mouth snaps shut. sasuke laughs to himself, the sound cold and empty. his eyebrows are pinched together again, ‘i can’t believe this.’ he turns his head to glare at his friend. ‘i can’t believe you.’ 
‘i’m sorry,’ naruto croaks, tears threatening to fall again. ‘i said i wouldn’t do it again, i promise—’
‘shut up, naruto.’ 
sasuke pinches the bridge of his nose, fuming. his eyes are closed, but naruto can feel his anger and he can’t stop a stray tear from rolling down his cheek. ‘i didn’t mean to,’ he cries softly. ‘i tried to stop feelin’ like this, ‘n’ i didn’t say anythin’ ‘cause i know you don’t like me like that… i didn’t wanna ruin our friendship over some dumb shit—’
‘dumb shit?’ sasuke interrupts, repeating the words with a bitter taste on his tongue. his eyes are narrowed in on a red nosed naruto, dark and analytic and downright terrifying. ‘is that what i am to you? some dumb shit?’ 
‘what? no—!’ 
‘did you never think of just asking me?’ sasuke asks, his expression crumbling into one that naruto can only describe as heartbreak. ‘do you ever use that fucking brain of yours?’ 
naruto is silent. 
sasuke’s head tilts upwards and as his eyes close, naruto sees the cluster of tears that glisten in the moonlight as they escape from underneath sasuke’s eyelashes. guiltily, he watches his friend cry and whilst he wants nothing more than to comfort him, he still senses sasuke’s anger. it makes him hesitate. but just as he builds the courage to move closer, sasuke wipes his face with the back of his hand, and just as quickly as they’d appeared, the tears are gone. 
‘do you have any idea of what you do to me?’ 
naruto’s face falls, ‘i’m sorry—’
‘if you apologise one more time,’ sasuke spits, not even bothering to finish his threat. he sighs loudly. and then without any warning, his hands are grabbing the sides of naruto’s face, pulling him forward and crushing his mouth to the blonde’s. 
naruto lets out a muffled cry of surprise before relaxing against him, allowing sasuke to pull him even closer. the sheet threatens to expose his groin and naruto scrambles to pull it back up whilst also trying his best to kiss sasuke back. but sasuke doesn’t let him. his tongue invades naruto’s mouth, experimentally tasting every part that he can reach. he uses the tip to tickle the roof, eliciting a breathy laugh, and a shudder that runs down naruto’s spine. naruto’s hands are in his hair again, tugging and twisting the strands between his fingers, and sasuke hums appreciatively. naruto’s nails, short and blunt, scrape against his scalp and sasuke breaks the kiss to gently groan under his breath, tilting his head further back into the blonde’s hands. 
‘you like that?’ naruto pants against his mouth, licking along sasuke’s bottom lip. he grins lazily as sasuke’s eyes peel open to look at him, dazed. naruto peers back at him, wide eyed, pupils blown. 
sasuke sits up straighter, his fingers tracing the contours of naruto’s face. 
his thumbs gently swipes over naruto’s eyelids, down the bridge of his nose, the fullness of his bottom lip. he strokes along both eyebrows, knuckles brushing against reddened cheeks. sasuke smiles. he leans closer, softly pressing his lips to naruto’s three times before pulling away. again, naruto follows, seeking more. sasuke’s smile widens. 
‘you truly are an idiot, you know,’ he whispers, eyes focusing on naruto’s lips which part, ready to protest. ‘i’ve loved you for so long, naruto.’ blue eyes are focused on his, wide and glossy. sasuke’s smile is sad. ‘so, so long,’ he murmurs, fingers brushing naruto’s fringe back from his forehead. ‘i don’t even remember not being in love with you,’ sasuke laughs softly, ignoring naruto’s sharp intake of breath. his fingers are tracing the blonde’s collarbones now. ‘do you know how many times,’ he leans closer, thumb pressing against the rapid pulse in naruto’s neck, ‘how many times i’ve touched myself thinking of you?’ 
naruto groans, ‘f-fuck.’ sasuke feels his pulse quicken, ‘you…’ naruto swallows, adam’s apple bobbing in his throat. ‘y-you can’t just say that.’ he moves his legs so that he’s now sat crossed legged, and immediately regrets it. he makes a move to hide the growing budge between his legs, but sasuke is quicker, hand reaching out to grab his thigh, holding him in place. ‘s-sasuke,’ naruto squirms, trying to nudge him away. 
‘are you shy?’ sasuke asks, teasing. 
naruto’s eyes narrow, ‘you literally just told me you loved me like—’ his breath hitches as sasuke’s hand moves further up his thigh, ‘-two seconds ago. ‘n’ now you’re already tryna see my dick?’ 
sasuke snorts, ‘says the one who was moaning my name as he got off.’ 
naruto huffs, embarrassed once again, ‘you just said you do it too!’ 
sasuke’s smile widens for a short moment, before it withers. 
‘i do love you,’ he says quietly. naruto’s expression softens. 
sasuke removes his hands, sitting back as he watches naruto shift so that his erection is no longer visible. 
there’s a brief moment of silence. 
‘do you…?’ naruto trails off, not meeting sasuke’s eyes as he ducks his head, ashamed. he clears his throat, ‘do you really think of me when… you know…’ 
‘mhm,’ sasuke hums, lips curling up into another teasing smile. 
a strained noise escapes the back of naruto’s throat and he shifts, a visible dent in the sheets indicating his increased lust. sasuke’s eyes follow him like a hawk as naruto shuffles along the mattress until he’s close enough to reach for the uchiha’s hand. meeting sasuke’s eyes, his cheeks are red as he slowly guides sasuke’s hand under the sheets. sasuke’s fingers curl around naruto’s bare thigh, the skin hot to the touch. 
‘are you sure?’ 
naruto nods once and that’s all it takes for sasuke to entrap him in another kiss. naruto kisses back feverishly, their tongues battling sloppily, breaths uneven. sasuke’s fingers dance along naruto’s thigh, tickling, experimentally pinching his hip. naruto interrupts the kiss with a yelp, sasuke chuckling lowly. 
‘stop fuckin’ teasin’,’ naruto grunts against his mouth, hot breath fanning across sasuke’s cheek. 
sasuke kisses him softly, ‘sorry.’ 
his hand stills for a moment, gauging naruto’s reaction. his eyes are fluttering, chest rising and falling rapidly. sasuke can even see the pulse in his neck throbbing. he slowly touches between naruto’s legs, biting his lower lip as his fingers curl around naruto’s erection. 
the reaction is instant. 
sensitive, naruto arches into sasuke’s hand, head tilted back as he bites back a moan. ‘s-shit,’ he hisses under his breath, eyes closing. sasuke watches him, dark eyed and rose cheeked. naruto’s cock is heavy in his hand, the muscle twitching in his palm as he slowly tugs upwards and back down again. ‘sasuke,’ naruto groans, his breath hitching at the back of his throat. sasuke repeats the action over and over until he builds a steady rhythm, naruto’s breath shaky as he moans out sasuke’s name. 
‘naruto,’ sasuke breathes, watching the blonde’s eyes snap right open, blinking hazily before focusing on him. ‘is this how you like it?’ 
naruto’s hips buck, ‘f-faster.’ 
sasuke complies, tugging a loud cry from naruto’s lips. his own curl upwards as his gaze drifts downwards. the sheets have finally slipped away with their movements, and now sasuke is blessed with every inch of naruto’s tanned skin. his cock is warm underneath sasuke’s fingertips, the tip swollen, glistening in the moonlight. it’s a sight that makes the growing tightness in sasuke’s shorts a little more unbearable with each passing second. his gaze focus on the neatly trimmed patch of blonde hair, eyebrows raising. 
‘w-what?’ naruto gasps out. 
sasuke’s eyes meet big blue orbs, recognising the gleam of insecurity that passes as quickly as it appears. 
‘nothing,’ he breathes, fist circling until his thumb is stroking against the small bundle of nerves under the tip. naruto’s hips buck more violently, eyes screwing shut as he mewls, grinding his pelvis against sasuke’s welcoming hand. ‘you’re perfect,’ sasuke tells him, head ducking to press an open-mouthed kiss against naruto’s collarbone. 
naruto turns his head, giving him easier access, and sasuke’s lips latch onto his neck, suckling and kissing until there’s a bruise beginning to form. his hand tugs a little faster and naruto’s hand suddenly clamps around his wrist, halting his movements. 
sasuke pulls back, gaze questioning, ‘why’d you stop?’ 
naruto grimaces, ‘gonna cum.’ 
a dark eyebrow raises, ‘isn’t that the point?’ 
naruto’s blushing for what feels like the umpteenth time tonight. ‘’s kinda lame if i cum when i ain’t even seen you naked yet.’ 
sasuke’s smirking now, ‘you want to see me naked?’ 
naruto shrugs, looking away, sheepish. 
sasuke chuckles, removing his hands. his smirk broadens as naruto’s hips blindly follow, the blonde grunting at the loss of contact. he leans back, lying back on his elbows, legs sprawled out in front of him as he kicks the sheets away. he watches sasuke shuffle back down the mattress until he’s standing next to the bed, hands already tugging his t-shirt over his head. he throws it somewhere over his shoulder, uncaring of where it lands. naruto’s eyes are glued to him as he teases with the waistband of his shorts, blonde brows furrowing when he makes no move to remove them. 
‘sasuke,’ naruto growls, warning. 
sasuke smiles, fingers hooking around his shorts, pushing them past his hips and down his legs. he kicks the material from around his ankles, and when he looks up, naruto’s eyes are wide with awe. 
‘you don’t wear boxers to bed?’ 
sasuke scoffs, ‘and you don’t wear anything at all.’ 
naruto hums, grinning. his eyes rake over his friend’s body and now it’s sasuke’s turn to feel embarrassed. 
naruto runs a hand over his face, groaning into the palm of his hand, ‘this is so unfair.’ 
sasuke tenses, ‘what?’ 
naruto looks at him pointedly, waving a hand up and down, ‘you’re, like, hot. stupidly hot.’ 
the raven head’s cheeks flush. 
he looks away, hiding a coy smile, ‘not really.’ 
naruto scoffs, sitting upright, ’you’re kiddin’, right?’ sasuke shrugs. naruto holds out his hand, ‘c’mere.’ 
sasuke reluctantly climbs onto the mattress, shuffling on his knees until he’s sat between naruto’s legs. he avoids the blonde’s gaze, all signs of his earlier confidence, now vanished. naruto’s hands come to rest on two pale thighs, thumbs brushing against sasuke’s hips. the uchiha flinches, sucking in a deep breath as he dares to look at naruto’s face. he’s taken aback by the gentle smile that graces the blonde’s lips, pulse quickening at the sight. 
‘sasuke,’ naruto’s smile broadens, his hands reaching for the other’s face, fingers tangling in his hair. ‘you’re really pretty.’ 
sasuke, cheeks red and eyes glazed as he stares at naruto’s lips, manages a scoff. 
‘pretty?’ 
naruto hums, fingers tightening, pulling his friend closer so that he can nuzzle the raven head’s neck. his nose bumps sasuke’s ear as he presses a soft kiss just underneath, grinning as he feels sasuke shiver. ‘so fuckin’ beautiful,’ he grunts, kissing down sasuke’s neck, teeth grazing along his collarbone. 
‘naruto,’ sasuke exhales, eyes closed as he tilts his head back. 
naruto’s tongue trails along sasuke’s skin, and then he’s pressing closer, marking sasuke’s neck with bruises of his own. sasuke’s fingernails dig into naruto’s thigh, forming minuscule crescent-like shapes across the surface of his skin. naruto doesn’t seem to mind, his urgency only increased as he proceeds to blemish sasuke’s skin with as many bruises as he can. 
a low moan escapes sasuke’s lips and his hands twitch, tightening their hold on naruto’s thighs. 
naruto smiles against his skin and sasuke flinches as his teeth nip at his collarbone again. leaning back, naruto takes a moment to appreciate his handiwork. flustered, sasuke’s hair is a mess, his neck littered with hickeys, his eyes wide. 
he really is beautiful. 
the corner of naruto’s lips tug upwards, lazy. 
sasuke is panting a little, moonlight illuminating the blush that stains his cheeks and spreads down his neck. he swallows. his hands reach for naruto’s shoulders, pushing back, guiding the blonde until he’s lying back against the mattress. dark orbs study the blonde. naruto’s cheeks are as red as his—if not, darker—his pupils blown as he peers back up at his friend. 
friend. 
‘what are we?’ sasuke blurts, index finger tracing shapeless patterns into naruto’s right hip. 
naruto frowns, not liking the apprehensive expression on sasuke’s face. ‘whaddya mean?’ he grabs a hold of sasuke’s wrist, halting his movements. 
‘us,’ sasuke says, eyes now guarded as if he’s bracing himself for rejection. ‘this… if we’re going to do this… i want to know what happens after.’ 
naruto licks his bottom lip, chews the inside of his cheek as he scratches the side of his neck.
nervous, sasuke realises. naruto is nervous. 
and he’s just as nervous, awaiting naruto’s reply. 
‘i love you, sasuke,’ naruto whispers. his expression is sad and it doesn’t make sasuke feel any better. in fact, it only increases his anxiety. ‘have for ages… i’ve wanted you… for ages.’ 
‘wanted… me?’ sasuke repeats, dark brows furrowing. 
naruto hums, eyes darting towards his hand that’s still wrapped tightly around sasuke’s wrist. he eases his grip, thumb stroking against pale knuckles, tracing the veins that bulge underneath. ‘if you want…’ naruto trails off, and sasuke can sense his hesitance. naruto clears his throat, fingers intertwining with sasuke’s, squeezing, as he asks awkwardly, ‘…be mine?’ 
sasuke’s reply doesn’t come straight away. 
he shifts on the bed, moving until he’s lying down beside naruto, his fingers tightening around the blonde’s. he leans closer, lips brushing against naruto’s, the blonde’s tongue lazily caressing his own. naruto’s fingers are in his hair again, pulling until sasuke is pressed flush against him, sharing their body heat. 
against him, sasuke can feel naruto’s erection throbbing against his hip, his own trapped between their stomachs. a moan stutters passed his lips as naruto’s hips move to grind against him, seeking friction. sasuke complies and soon their movements become frantic, their kisses sloppy and wet, groins thrusting simultaneously. the next moan that is ripped from the back of naruto’s throat is so feral—so fucking delicious—that it makes sasuke’s toes curl. he cries out against the blonde’s lips, surprising both himself and naruto, who immediately stills. 
naruto’s head dips, pressing his nose against sasuke’s shoulder. 
‘you stopped,’ sasuke accuses breathlessly, seemingly annoyed, ‘again.’ 
‘sorry,’ naruto mumbles, not sounding apologetic at all. he uses his weight to push sasuke onto his back, hovering over the raven head as he presses a chaste kiss to his lips. heavily lidded eyes watch him as he shifts down the bed until he’s sat between sasuke’s legs, using his knees to nudge them further apart. sasuke’s blush deepens. 
he watches the blonde lie on his stomach, his lips suddenly kissing along sasuke’s hips. 
‘what—?’ sasuke starts to ask, only to choke on his own breath as naruto’s lips suddenly wrap around the head of his cock. ‘s-shit!’ he hisses, fingers gripping thick locks of blonde hair, ‘idiot, warn me next time!’ 
naruto hums a muffled laugh, tongue circling before dragging down the shaft to press flat against his balls. 
sasuke’s voice is hoarse as he asks, ‘h-have you ever done this b—? a-ah!’ he yelps as naruto’s mouth envelops him in one complete motion, swallowing down until the dark curls of hair tickle naruto’s nose. sasuke can’t help it. already sensitive, his cock twitches in naruto’s mouth, hot tongue flattening against the underside. naruto guzzles, saliva spilling from the corners of his mouth as he begins to move, head bobbing up and down, up and down, up and down, until sasuke doesn’t think he can take it anymore. 
he grits his teeth, head falling back against the mattress, hair splayed across the fabric. 
naruto swallows him again, tongue teasing the bundle of nerves like sasuke had done to him earlier. sasuke’s hips jerk upwards, accidentally choking the blonde, and naruto gags loudly, eyes watering as he releases sasuke from his mouth. his cock feels heavy as it thumps back against his abdomen, his skin now slick with naruto’s saliva. 
‘s-sorry,’ sasuke wheezes, his chest rising and falling rapidly as he catches his breath. 
to his surprise, naruto is beaming, wiping his lips with the back of his hand. ‘good?’ 
sasuke pants, hair flopping into his eyes as he nods, ‘mhm.’ 
naruto grins, fingers dancing across sasuke’s thigh. he teases the dark patch of curls with a swipe of his thumb, smirk broadening as sasuke’s hips cant upwards. 
‘stop looking at me like that,’ sasuke grits out, but naruto ignores him, pressing his lips to the raven head’s abdomen. his hair tickles sasuke’s chest, who reaches out to tangle his fingers between the blonde locks. naruto lifts his head to gaze up at his friend. 
‘i love you,’ he tells him again. ‘so…’ he presses another kiss to sasuke’s skin, ‘so much.’ 
sasuke doesn’t say it back, but he doesn’t need to. he pulls on naruto’s hair until they’re aligned, face to face. the pads of his thumbs brush along naruto’s cheekbones, gentle and warm. naruto’s eyes flutter for a moment, his head tilting to press against the palm of sasuke’s hand. sasuke stares up at him, a ghost of a smile tracing the outline of his lips. 
i love you too. 
he embraces the blonde, arms snaking around naruto’s shoulders, pulling him closer. his nose bumps against the other and he laughs a little as naruto’s eyes cross inwards to glance at sasuke’s lips. 
‘i’ll be yours,’ sasuke answers naruto’s previous question, voice quiet. 
naruto leans back to look at him properly. his expression is a mixture of coyness and hesitance. ‘you sure?’ 
‘naruto,’ sasuke tugs on a strand of hair, ‘i’ve wanted to be with you for a very long time. i’m pretty sure that’s never going to change.’ 
bright eyed, naruto’s expression softens. he’s leaning in again, lips brushing against sasuke’s, close enough to feel him but not enough to taste. ‘tell me,’ he whispers, hips gently pressing against his friend’s. his own breath hitches, sasuke mimicking the sound as his eyes close. ‘tell me,’ naruto says again, pressing flush against sasuke before pulling back, ‘tell me you love me.’ his head ducks to nuzzle sasuke’s neck, hips thrusting forwards again. 
sasuke can’t muffle the moan that bursts past his lips. he shivers underneath naruto’s weight, pale arms locking around his neck. he can feel naruto throbbing against his own erection and it feels good—so fucking good—enough to make sasuke’s words jumble together as he attempts to speak. he cries out as naruto thrusts noticeably harder, practically crushing him against the mattress. sasuke’s fingernails dig into naruto’s shoulders, another moan escaping him as he hears naruto grunt lowly in his ear, his hot breath fanning across the side of his face. the temperature in the room has become stifling, and it’s not long before sasuke can feel a thin layer of sweat forming with every press of naruto’s hips. dark locks of hair stick to his temples, but he’s past caring, his fingers burying in naruto’s hair once more. 
but naruto’s pulling back, out of his embrace, leaning back until he’s sitting on the heels of his feet. 
his eyes have darkened significantly, sasuke notices. the ocean blues he’s used to are now almost navy in the dimly lit room, but sasuke can still make out the rosy colouring on tanned cheeks if he squints hard enough. 
he watches as naruto grips his own cock, fist pumping slowly as he watches sasuke with heavily lidded eyes. the sight is almost enough to make sasuke cum there and then. but he holds on with what little control he has left, biting his bottom lip as his abdomen tenses. a dribble of pre-cum slips down the curve of naruto’s erection, coating his fingers as he jerks his hand a little faster. 
the blonde moans sasuke’s name, his voice so quiet, sasuke almost doesn’t hear him. 
but he does, and his toes curl as he closes his eyes, attempting—and failing miserably—to regain control of his breathing. but he doesn’t get the chance. naruto’s spare hand reaches for sasuke, fingers warm as they cup under his balls. he traces sasuke’s cock, fingertips memorising each vein and curve before they curl around the engorged tip, twisting. 
sasuke cries out, sharp and surprised. 
naruto hums at the sound, sounded content as he moves closer until his erection traces where his fingers just have. sasuke thinks he’s going to lose his mind. he has no idea how the tables have now turned—how naruto is now somehow in control—but it all feels too good for him to care. 
naruto’s hips are thrusting again, his left hand holding sasuke in place as his right wraps around their cocks, gripping them together. sasuke hears the repeated hitching of the blonde’s breath, watching those big blue eyes screw shut as his hips snap faster. his head tilts backwards as he chants sasuke’s name, voice husky with lust, abdomen flexing tightly as he moves. his lips have parted, tongue darting out to coat them in a thin layer of saliva, and then his jaw tenses, brows pulling together. his urgency is matched with sasuke’s uncontrollable mewls, the sensation of naruto rutting against him pulling him closer and closer and—
sasuke isn’t sure who reaches their peak first. 
naruto’s hips speed up until his groin is smacking loudly against sasuke’s rear, the noise making the raven head’s skin burn with both passion and embarrassment. the blonde’s moans are so loud that sasuke can feel them resonating down his spine and he’s sure that his name heatedly escaping naruto’s lips is now his favourite sound. 
sasuke can feel the familiar tingling in the pit of his stomach, his toes curling as he spreads his legs wider. he throws his head back against the mattress, his fingers scrambling to hold onto naruto’s thighs, nails digging in once more. 
‘n-naru—’ he manages to choke out, ‘—to.’ he squirms, naruto hunching over him, their lips clashing together sloppily. there’s a fumble of lips, tongues and teeth, and as naruto grinds into him at such a pace it makes his head spin, sasuke yells out a profanity. naruto swallows the sound, moaning into the raven head’s mouth with a curse of his own. 
and then sasuke feels the coil in his stomach bursting, naruto’s name slipping past his lips with ease. they come undone almost simultaneously, the scent of their desire staining the room, sasuke’s blood pulsing in his eardrums. he’s blissfully limp, naruto slumped heavily against him, groaning into his shoulder as his hips jut one last time before stilling. 
they lay together for several minutes, taking the time to catch their breaths. naruto presses closer, the stickiness of their fervour trapped between their stomachs. neither seem to care, a tangle of embracing arms and legs as naruto nuzzles sasuke’s shoulder once more, shifting until they’re lying on their sides. too tired to get up, naruto lazily uses the bedsheets to wipe the mess from their stomachs before he kicks them to the floor. 
long pale fingers dance across the back of naruto’s scalp, the blonde humming appreciatively as he presses a kiss to sasuke’s collarbone. bleary eyed, he prods a finger against one of the many marks he’s left against the uchiha’s neck. sasuke flinches but doesn’t make a move to stop him. naruto hears him swallow thickly, feels his fingers scrape a little harder along his scalp. 
‘i love you.’ 
the words are whispered against the curve of naruto’s cheek, so softly that he barely hears them. 
a wide smile breaches his lips, so wide that it almost hurts, and he hums again, nuzzling closer until his nose bumps against sasuke’s neck. he presses his lips there once, twice, thrice, before he murmurs the words back. he knows that sasuke hears him, pale arms tightening around his waist before his breathing begins to ease, slow and even. 
sasuke falls asleep first. 
naruto loses track of time as he watches the other sleep. there’s still a faint blush that is just visible on the uchiha’s cheeks, his lips swollen from their kissing. his hair is damp against his temples, the strands messy and tangled together. his skin appears to glow in the moonlight and naruto admires how much paler sasuke’s skin is to his own. he dares to reach out, brushing the dark strands of hair from sasuke’s face, pausing when the uchiha’s nose crinkles. he’s still asleep, warm breath fanning out against naruto’s chin, eyelashes long enough to rest just above his cheekbones.  
naruto thinks he must be dreaming. 
his eyes squeeze shut, convinced that when he opens them, sasuke won’t be in his arms and that the past hour will have all been yet another of his wet dreams. 
he waits. and waits.
and waits some more. 
eventually, he dares to peel an eye open, peeking. 
sasuke is still sleeping, and naruto watches as his lips form inaudible words, brows pinching together. his arms tighten around naruto’s waist before immediately relaxing, the limbs heavy against his skin. but naruto doesn’t mind. because like this, he thinks sasuke is beautiful. more beautiful than he’s ever seen him. naruto smiles softly, eyes tracing over sasuke’s features one last time before closing. 
he’s not sure what awaits for when they awake the next day, but for now, he’s finally right where he’s wanted to be for the past six years. 
by sasuke’s side.

so i was looking for a certain duffer quote (didn’t find it yet) but i read this interview and… i may have found an excellent little gem.
they asked the duffers if there’s deleted scenes, and they said there’s almost none, bc “the scenes, there's always a reason for the scenes.”
i just want y’all to think about that for a second…….every time we see some lingering shot onscreen, it’s so intentional. they were describing the process of editing the show and it sounded VERY meticulous and focused. and i’m sure they have a whole team working on it, but it sounded like matt & ross are right there the whole time reviewing everything. they even talked about editing things like pacing. so that tells me they’re not letting shots in there that don’t fit the vision.
so the things they spent time on (and didn’t) in s4 are really striking to me………not a single happy scene of milkyway that didn’t have will right there in the background (and hardly any happy moments period), that longgg shot of el’s drawing in the van window w the byler stick figures, lingering for 93294839 hours on extreme closeup shots of mike’s face (closer to us than even will’s) during the shared glance in “cool.” “cool.” not just one but six important heart-to-hearts between byler. not to mention every one of those convos take up whole scenes, and every scene is there for a reason, so like……..
it just made it very clear to me that nobody accidentally byler’d s4. the duffers were right there approving every shot. i am so convinced that this is the direction they’re going—and if for some reason it’s not, i’ll still feel vindicated after seeing this interview bc they clearly built up byler intentionally (and not just a one-sided version, bc we mainly got heart-to-hearts instead of just will pining). there’s no more doubt in my mind about that.

September
Piper’s POV 
I rolled my head back on my neck, looking up at the ceiling as my roommate sighed. 
���Has anyone told you that you’re a selfish bitch?” Carli asked, her perfectly manicured nail resting on the cheap, wooden door of our dorm room. “I’m trying to unwind and relax after an extremely hard week and you’re ruining it for me.” 
“I live here too!” I felt my brows pull together in frustration as I adjusted my bag on my sore shoulders, shifting from foot to foot. “The least you can let me do is come in and change before you start fucking.”
“You’re killing my mood!” She groaned, holding her hand out. “Give me your fucking bag and tell me what you need.” 
“Carli-”
“Tell me what you need or I’m shutting this door in your face, I swear to god.” She snapped, her brows arching up as she wiggled her fingers at me. “You have five seconds.” 
“Fine!” I said, shrugging my bag off my tired shoulders. “I need my purse, a black t-shirt, and a jacket.” 
“Great.” 
She slammed the door in my face, flicking the lock as I brushed my hands over my face angrily. 
College was not supposed to be like this. 
The next four years of my life were meant to be spent making new friends and partaking in fun activities on campus. So far, the only person I knew was Carli and she most definitely hated my guts with a burning passion. I wasn’t sure why she hated me so much when I mainly kept to myself, hunched over my desk with headphones on for most of the night when I studied. I hardly ever talked to Carli besides the odd argument about my typing being too loud and my presence being too...obvious. I hated every second of college so far and this wasn’t helping me at all. 
I was moments away from having a breakdown, the build up creeping up my throat as I stood there in the hall, waiting for Carli as everyone else stared at my back. I tried not to let their prying eyes bother me, but I could feel the hairs standing up on the back of my neck as I crossed my arms over my chest. I tried to distract my mind, thinking about where I was going to go while Carli got her rocks off in our shared room. Maybe the library? Maybe a cafe?
Just as I started listing off cafes in my head, the door opened just a crack. 
“Here’s your stuff, don’t come home before midnight.” She stuck a hand out, her voice muffled by the door. I rolled my eyes, grabbing my things from her hands. “Bye, Pippi!”
“It’s Piper, you unbearable asshole.” I sighed, holding my stuff close to my chest as frustrated tears started to accumulate behind my eyes. “I hope you don’t have an orgasm.” 
I turned on my heels, ready to storm towards the communal bathroom so I could change and collect myself before leaving. I only made it halfway down the hall when I heard someone shouting behind me. I wasn’t sure they were actually calling out for me until I felt a hand on my shoulder. I stopped in my tracks, sniffling as I reached up to wipe at my cheeks. 
“Piper, hold on.” The girl who was calling my name stepped in front of me, letting out a shuddery breath. She only had eyeshadow on one of her perfectly shaped eyes and a makeup brush in her hand as she stopped. “I just wanted to say that I am so sorry your roommate just did that to you. You can use my room to change if you’d like? I know the communal bathroom doesn’t always offer the most privacy and my roommate is never home. I’ll stand outside and everything!” 
“You don’t have to do that.” I sniffled before offering her a forced smile. I wasn’t in the mood to deal with teasing right now. “But thank you.” 
“I insist.” Her brown eyes looked softer as she spoke, her hand falling to her side. “My name is Eleanor. I think we have Modern English together.” 
“Piper.” I said. “Are you sure you’re okay with that?” 
“Yeah.” She nodded. “I don’t mind it at all, babes.” 
Eleanor left me in her room to get dressed, politely standing outside as I collected myself. 
I took a few deep breaths, trying to compose myself as I stripped out of the blouse I had been wearing all day. I pulled my black t-shirt on, huffing when I realized that this wasn’t the one I actually needed. This one was meant for darker jeans and a pair of heeled boots. This top was meant for parties and bars, not a cafe. The criss crossed pattern was far too fancy for a late night cup of coffee and a lonely piece of cheesecake. 
When I opened the door, my old shirt bundled up in my hand, I smiled at Eleanor. 
She looked over my outfit, her eyes growing wide. 
“You look great!” She said. “Do you have plans tonight?” 
“I was just gonna go to Fitz and Co for coffee and dessert.” I gave her a nervous chuckle, clutching my old shirt in my hands. “Probably going to wander around campus after to kill time.” 
“Don’t take offense,” She gave me a sweet smile, her accent growing thicker with each word she spoke. I hadn’t noticed it all that much before when my emotions were on overdrive and my mind was swirling with anger. “But that sounds absolutely dreadful and you deserve to have a little bit of fun. It’s Friday night for fuck’s sake and we’re in Uni!”
“I don’t really know anyone on campus.” I shrugged. “I’ve not made a ton of friends yet, you know?” 
“I do, actually.” She nodded. “If I had to say, you’re the first person I’ve tried to make conversation with since I’ve been here. I’m going to a party tonight because my boyfriend’s frat is hosting it, and he’ll just text me all night if I don’t go.”
“That sounds like fun.” I said. “Thank you for helping me out and offering me your room. I really hope you have fun tonight."
“Why don’t you come with me?” She asked. “I know frat parties sound horrible after all the stuff you see in films, and a lot of them are pretty shit, but I would love to have a drinking buddy.” 
“I don’t want to impose.” I said. “I’m sure you want to spend time with your boyfriend.”
“Nonsense, he sees me everyday.” She shook her head. “I would love to have someone to chat with that isn’t one of his football friends from back home.” 
“Um, okay.’” I shrugged. “I guess that’s not too horrible and I kind of owe you one.”
“You won’t regret it.” 
                                         🥃🔸🥃🔸🥃🔸🥃🔸🥃
“So the house shouldn’t be too crowded.” Eleanor pulled her flannel tighter around her body, hunching over as the wind whipped around us. “A few of the guys are still out getting alcohol and people aren’t supposed to start showing up for another hour at least.”
“That’s good.” I nodded. “So why did you decide to come to school here?”
“Louis.” She said. “I couldn’t stomach the idea of being away from Lou and there are so many opportunities in America for both of us. He’s here on a footie scholarship and I’m here on a performing arts scholarship.”
“That’s really cool!” I exclaimed, my eyebrows raising up. “I didn’t peg you for a theatre nerd.”
“Just a tiny one.” She chuckled. “I’m more into the costumes than anything. Fashion has always owned my heart and my Mum took me to so many musicals as a girl. I figured I would combine my love for both and make it my career.”
“I admire that.” I said softly, glancing down at the sidewalk as we turned a corner. “So how long have you and Louis been together?”
“Four years.” She smiled. “We met on a holiday to London one summer and we’ve never let go of each other. Last year we went to the same University for our first year before deciding to come abroad and it was….magical.”
“He sounds lovely.” I said. “He makes you happy?” 
“He does.” She nodded, her lips pursing slightly as she tried to hide her smile. “He’s a proper gentleman, even when he’s being a bit too laddie.”
“I don’t even know what that means.” I chuckled and Eleanor joined in. “What is a laddie? Is that like Lassie, the dog?”
“Not like that dog.” She scrunched up her nose. “I think you call them ‘Bro’s’ over here.” 
“Ah, I do understand then.” 
Eleanor and I continued chatting as we walked down Frat Row. 
The houses were large, but they looked a little plain and rundown. I imagine having a group of rowdy, drunk boys living in a house without supervision didn’t do well for wear and tear on a house. Eleanor told me that the last house on frat row in the cul-de-sac belonged to pretty much the entire footy team with a few odd guys sprinkled in. 
When we arrived, my jaw nearly dropped to the ground. 
I was living in a tiny dorm room and these men were living like kings and a gigantic and modern house that looked brand new. Eleanor laughed as I took in the dark, blue-grey exterior. The shutters and the porch were both painted a dark, charcoal grey. We walked up the stairs and I continued to look around like a kid lost in a candy store. 
Maybe joining a sorority wasn’t a bad move?
“So, that is the living room and just down that first hall is the bathroom. I recommend going upstairs to Louis’ room if you want to use a clean and unoccupied bathroom.” She chuckled. “I’ll show you around upstairs later if you’d like.”
“This is the cleanest Frat house I’ve ever seen in my life.” I said slowly, looking around. “How is it so pristine?”
“A few of the guys are really obsessed with cleanliness and organization.” She chuckled. “Also I spend a lot of time over here, so I do what I can.”
“I would spend all of my time here, too.” I said. “Why are you even in a dorm if you could be here?”
“Rules.” She rolled her eyes. “Technically women aren’t allowed to be housed in a frat, which blows, but I understand it.”
“Well, I’ll pretend to be you and stay in your dorm if you want to fly under the radar and move here.” I teased, patting her shoulder. “It’s a win win for both of us.”
“I might take you up on that.” She giggled, guiding me through an open archway. “This here is the kitchen-”
“Ellie, s’that you!” 
Eleanor flinched at the booming voice from upstairs, her eyes casting up to the ceiling as she grumbled. 
“Bloody hell, these men,” She shot me a sympathetic look and I tried my best not to laugh softly at her annoyance. “Yes, Niall?”
“I need help.” This accent was slightly different than Eleanor’s and it almost reminded me of the guy on the lucky charms commercial. “I don’t know what trousers to wear, should I do these dark jeans or these plaid one’s.”
The voice was closer and closer with each word and suddenly, a half naked man appeared in the doorway, holding two pairs of pants as he looked down at them. He was wearing white boxer briefs and white socks, the rest of his pale and freckled skin on display. I had to admit that he was extremely attractive, chestnut colored hair on top of his head and a soft stomach rounded out with a matching chestnut happy trail dusting under his belly button. 
“Oh, hello.” He looked up, smiling at me with piercing blue eyes and extremely handsome features. I tried not to blush, my eyes glued to his. “Which one’s do ya think I should wear, love? Good to have an outsider’s perspective sometimes.” 
The sound of a door shutting behind us caused my head to snap around. 
This was more of a man standing at the opposite end of the kitchen, his chocolate colored curls framing his face and resting on his broad shoulders as he looked up at me. His face was perfect, adonis like features catching my attention and his bright green eyes causing my breath to catch in my throat. He offered me a small smile, his features soft as he cleared his throat. 
“Hello.” He said softly to me before his eyes darted up, looking behind me. “For fuck’s sake, Niall. Why are you nearly naked!” 
“I needed help!” I turned my head back towards Niall as his brows pulled together, his lips turning to a scowl. “I can’t decide what trousers to wear and Liam is no help!” 
“We have a guest.” The green eyed god spoke from behind me, but I didn’t dare turn my head. I was afraid that if I did, I would be stuck staring at him for the rest of the night. “Don’t be rude.”
I glanced over at Eleanor who lifted her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose. 
I tried, again, not to laugh at her misery. 
“I swear to god, Niall,” She sighed heavily. “The least you could do is introduce yourself to the poor girl before you flash her.”
“M’Niall,” He rolled his eyes, looking over at me. “What’s your name, love?” 
Harry’s POV
“My name is Piper.” 
I stared at the back of her head, trying my best not to think about running my fingers through her soft curls that nearly matched the shade of my own. I inhaled sharply as I pressed my fingertips into the marble countertop below me. I had seen this girl, Piper, around campus before. I saw her flitting from building to building with her head tilted down and her headphones tucked in her cute little ears. I had a huge crush on this girl and now she was standing in my kitchen with my half-naked roommate and my best friend’s girl. 
This wasn’t a good thing at all.
“S’nice to meet you, Piper.” Niall winked at her and I rolled my eyes, shooting him a glare over the girls head. 
His brows furrowed and I gave him a pointed look before mouthing, ‘That’s the girl’.
Niall’s brows lifted up and he shot me a cheeky grin. 
He was the only one I confided in about my girl troubles. 
He knew all about the mystery girl that I passed by every day on my way to physics class and he had suggested to me several times that bumping into her was the best way to catch her attention. I declined, rolling my eyes at his childish suggestion. I had to admit though, if she had been in my class, I would have tossed paper at the back of her head to get her attention. 
It was a trick that never failed. 
“Well, I’m gonna go get dressed then.” He cleared his throat, glancing over at Eleanor. “Lou is stuck on the phone with his Mum, babe. I think he might need some rescuing if he’s going to join the party at all tonight.”
“Oh,” Eleanor stood straighter, glancing over at Piper. “I don’t want to leave Piper-”
“I can stay with her.” I cleared my throat, reaching up to fiddle with my hair as both girls turned to look at me. “I’ve finished my part of party prep, so I don’t mind.”
“Harry, I don’t know.” Eleanor said. “I’m already afraid Niall’s neon white body is going to scare her off. I don’t need you turning on your Cheshire Charm.”
“Oi, I resent that.” I narrowed my eyes at her playfully, trying to fight off my smile as she chuckled. “I won’t be turning on any charm tonight, love. I’ve got a big match to play tomorrow, remember? Gotta save my strength and energy if I wanna do well.”
“Alright, fine.” Eleanor sighed, turning back to Piper. “Are you okay if I disappear for a few minutes? I promise I’ll be right back.” 
“It’s fine.” Piper smiled at Eleanor, gently nodding her head. “Please, go ahead. I don’t mind waiting down here.”
“You’re sure?” Eleanor asked, her face laced with concern. 
“Positive.” Piper glanced over at me. “I think I’m in good hands with ol’ Cheshire Charm back there.” 
My smile was so wide that it hurt my cheeks. 
She was funny and gorgeous.
Eleanor glanced between the two of us before saying a quick ‘be right back’.
“It’s nice to meet you.” Piper turned around, her hands pressing against the countertop as Niall wiggled his brows behind us. He disappeared behind Eleanor moments later, leaving Piper and I alone in the kitchen. “Would you like a Whiteclaw?”
“Oh, sure.” She nodded, her eyes dropping down to her hands. “I would love one.”
“You seem a bit nervous.” I said, walking towards the fridge. “Do you have a flavor preference?”
“No.” She said softly. “And yeah, I guess I am a bit nervous. I’ve had a pretty tough day and I wasn’t exactly prepared to come to a frat party.”
“Why are you here then?” I asked, my eyes scanning the shelves until I landed on the one filled with canned drinks. I reached for two lime flavored cocktails, pulling them out before I shut the door with my hip. “If you don’t mind me asking, that is.” 
“Um, Eleanor extended the invitation and I kind of owed her one.” Piper smiled, taking the drink with a soft ‘thank you’. “My roommate is a bit of a dickhead and she kicked me out so she could get laid. Eleanor saw me in the hallway on the verge of a mental breakdown and we just...hit it off, I guess.”
“Sorry your roommate was a dickhead.” I smiled, letting my eyes roam over the soft features of her face. “I’m glad you and El hit it off though. It’s nice to have a new face around here.”
I let my eyes trail over the features of her face now that she was up close and personal. 
Her eyes were hazel, a soft golden hue to her irises. Her brows were thick and wild, but perfectly shaped. There were soft freckles peeking out from under her foundation and her cheeks were a soft shade of red. Her nose was soft and rounded at the end and I couldn’t help but think of hovering over her, brushing my own nose against hers as I thrust into her. 
I hated being a man sometimes. 
She was a beautiful girl and even in my head she deserved better than to be thought of that way. She was more than just a sexual object and she didn’t need some creepy frat guy thinking dirty thoughts about her only moments after meeting her. I cleared my throat, reaching for my drink. I took a long sip as she raised her brows, offering me a sly smirk as she sipped at her own drink. 
“Eleanor is a really sweet girl.” I rested my can on the marble countertop. “She’s been having trouble making friends over here, so it’s nice that she’s found someone to hang out with besides us.” 
“I really like her.” Piper said softly. “I’ve been having trouble making friends, too. I’m not really the best at putting myself out there, you know?”
“I think you’re doing just fine.” I flashed her a reassuring smile, noticing how her cheeks turned a shade darker. “I don’t think I’ve fully introduced myself, love. I’m Harry.”
“I’m Piper.” She held her hand out and I took it, giving it a soft shake. “It’s nice to meet you, Harry.” 
Her skin was so bloody soft, her hands a little cold and damp from the can she was holding. 
“You too.” I said. “If you need anything tonight, please don’t hesitate to find me. I know how overwhelming these parties can be and I’ll be happy to keep you company or walk you out for some fresh air if you need it.” 
“Thank you.” She said softly. “The same goes for you. If you need any company tonight, I’m your girl.” 
Just like that, my mind was back in the gutter. 
All I could hear in my head was the echoes of her sweet moans, her voice chanting over and over again ‘M’your girl, Harry. Yours’. I cleared my throat, giving her a tight smile as I tried to avoid thinking about her tucked in my sheets, writhing and gasping as I licked into her. 
I was so totally fucked.
                                        🥃🔸🥃🔸🥃🔸🥃🔸🥃
“Piper, babe,” I laughed, holding her hips tightly as she swayed. “I think we should sit you down for a minute, yeah?”
“If I sit, I’ll sleep.” She whined, looking up at me with her sweet puppy dog eyes. “Where did Eleanor go?” 
“Eleanor is going upstairs with Louis.” I said softly, digging my fingers into the fleshy skin above the waistband of her jeans. “Do you want me to take you home?”
She pursed her lips, shaking her head as she pressed her hands into my shoulders. 
I knew exactly how we’d gotten here. 
The party was still going strong around us, people dancing and shouting as Piper swayed in front of me. I wanted so badly to brush her hair from her face and stroke the soft skin of her cheek, but I would never do something like that when she was this off her face. Holding onto her hips was already too intimate for my liking, but I was afraid she would topple over without some form of support. She swayed forward, her eyes face pinching up ever so slightly before she pressed one hand to her forehead. I frowned, pulling her closer as a group of guys rushed by.
If Niall hadn’t suggested we play four drinking games in a row, Piper and Eleanor might not have been off their faces within the first two hours of the party. I had to admit that I didn’t exactly mind taking care of Piper. She was a funny drunk, silly puns and snide comments slipping from her lips carelessly as she leaned against me. It was when her eyes started to drift shut and her body started to sway, that I started to worry about her. I pulled her into the kitchen alongside a giggly Eleanor, handing them both bottles of water while I quickly cooked up some pizza rolls that Niall had hidden in the freezer. Both girls ate between loud laughs, knocking into each other as I watched them with a small smile on my face.
 Seeing Eleanor happy made me happy, but seeing her happy with the girl of my dreams made me feel like I was on cloud nine. 
“Mate,” Louis’ hand clapped down on my shoulder and I turned my head as Piper’s body fell into mine. “I can take her off your hands. El told me they live in the same halls-”
“She can barely stand on her own, Lou.” I shook my head, glancing down as she rested her head on my shoulder. “Gonna go put her to bed in my room. I’ll sleep on the couch after everyone is gone.”
“Lock the door if you leave her up there.” Louis said. “I’m going back up to El in a minute, but I figured I should get some painkillers and water for the morning.”
“Bring some up for Piper?” I asked him. “I probably won’t leave her alone in there, knowing all of these jackasses are around.”
“Tell me about it.” Louis snorted out a laugh, shaking his head. “I’ll be up in five.”
I nodded, watching him disappear through the crowd of people in our living room. 
“Hey, love,” I said softly. “Gonna take you upstairs and tuck you in, okay?”
“Kay.” She mumbled, turning her head until her nose brushed against the column of my neck. 
I made a mental note to have a talk with her tomorrow about going places with strangers when she was drunk. I knew that I meant no harm, but we were still getting to know each other. It set off a level of worry that I only ever felt when it came to my Mum or Sister. It was almost a primal need to protect, my arms winding tightly around her as I guided her to the stairs. 
It was no easy feat to get her up the staircase, but when we finally made it to my room, she snapped into a more alert mode. She looked up, her tired eyes growing as wide as they could before she brushed some of her hair out of her face. She looked up at me, her eyes searching my face as I pressed my hand lightly to her lower back. 
“Thank you for taking care of me, Harry.” She said softly. “I’m really sorry I’m ruining your fun.” 
“Nonsense, love.” I shook my head. “S’just another party, there will be plenty more.” 
“Still.” She mumbled. “I don’t want to take your bed. Sleeping on the couch is bad for your back and I overheard that you have a match tomorrow.”
“S’alright.” I said. “I’ve slept on a floor before a match and still kicked ass, Piper. I don’t mind giving my bed up for a good cause.”
She let out an aggravated sigh, rolling her eyes at me. 
I tried not to smile as she grumbled under her breath, reaching for the doorknob to my bedroom door. I followed in behind her, flicking the light switch on before I shut the door behind me. Piper staggered a little and I hovered, my hands waiting to catch her should she fall. Instead, she stumbled over to my bed on bambi like legs, collapsing on the foot with a soft groan. 
“You need some help?” I asked her as she lifted her leg, struggling with her shoe. She merely waved her hand at me, shaking her head. “You want something comfy to change into? I’ve got sweats, shorts-”
“Sweats sound lovely.” She mumbled, a soft ‘aha’ falling from her lips as she finally tugged the shoelace of her boot out of a knot. “You’re a true gentleman, has anyone ever told you that?” 
“My Mum.” I chuckled, walking over to my dresser in search of comfy clothes. 
“S’good,” Piper sighed out as her boot hit the floor. “Hard to find a proper gentleman these days, Harry. I think Jude Law was the last of them.”
“I won’t argue with you there.” I shook my head, trying to contain my laughter as I sifted through my sweatpants. I settled on my favorite pair, the light grey fabric soft and worn. “Do you want a t-shirt to sleep in or a long sleeve shirt?”
“Um, t-shirt.” She mumbled. “Your room is lovely. Did you do all of the decorating yourself?”
“I did, yeah.” I nodded. “Brought a few key things from home, but I spent most of my money in Target when I got here.” 
“Amen to that.” She hiccuped softly. “I like your record player. I’ve always wanted one of those.”
“One day you’ll have to come up and listen to some records with me.” I glanced at her over my shoulder, noting how the corners of her lips ticked up into a girlish grin. “What kind of music do you like?”
“All of it.” She said simply, her voice trailing off. “I’ve always been a fan of classical music for studying. My mom calls me a psychopath.”
“They are known for indulging in the genre.” I snorted, pulling out a white t-shirt before I turned around. “I think that’s lovely, though. I’ve heard some good stuff from Bach in my music theory class and I have to say, it makes for good studying music.”
“That’s what I’m saying.” She said. “I love me some cello, mate.”
“Look at that.” I hummed out, holding the clothes out to her. “Got you talking like a proper brit now, don’t we. Didn’t even know what footy was at the start of the night.” 
“Piss off.” She grumbled, trying to hide her amusement as she mocked my accent. 
“I’m gonna run to Louis' room while you get dressed, okay?” I said. “Gonna steal you some makeup wipes from El’s overnight bag so we can take your makeup off. I want you to lock the door and don’t open it for anyone besides me. I don’t care if it’s Niall or god himself, alright?”
“Alright.” She whispered softly. “You’re really fucking nice, Harry.”
I tried to resist the urge to brush my knuckles over the soft skin of her cheek, but I couldn’t. 
I inhaled sharply as she closed her eyes, leaning into my touch with a soft hum. 
“I’ll be right back.” I said softly. “Lock the door.”

Piper’s POV 
Falling in love with Harry took me all of five minutes. 
I decided that it was physically impossible not to love someone so perfect. He was a real gentleman, keeping his hands in respectful spots even when I was falling all over him, drunk off my ass. I felt a little guilty about being so touchy-feely with someone I hardly knew, but I was comfortable around him from the start. He stood by my side for most of the night, talking with Eleanor and I as we tossed shots back like water. 
I stood up from the foot of his bed, fiddling with the button on my pants. My vision was most definitely blurry and my fingers were shaking as I swayed on my feet, but I managed to pull the button from the loop before I shoved my pants down my legs. It took a bit of wiggling to get my ass settled into Harry’s sweats, an article of clothing clearly meant for a man with no….assets. 
With a soft hiccup, I worked on my shirt, tossing it to the ground before I reached behind me to take off my bra. My drunk brain didn’t care about etiquette or embarrassment anymore. That all flew out the window with my third shot of tequila that Niall handed over. When I settled the fabric of Harry’s shirt over my tired limbs, I heard a soft knock at the door. 
I stumbled over, pressing my ear against the wood to hear who was there. I was plastered, yeah, but I remembered Harry’s speech about not opening the door for anyone. 
“Who is it?” I called out, my voice breaking just a little. 
“S’me.” I heard Harry’s gruff voice. “S’Harry.” 
I flicked the lock on the door, opening it up with a soft smile. 
Harry held up some makeup wipes and a bottle of water, flashing me a cheesy grin. I laughed, shutting the door and flicking the lock behind him again as he walked into his room. When I turned around, my arms crossed over my chest, he was looking at my body with soft eyes. 
“Everything feel comfy enough to sleep in?” He asked. 
“Yeah, thanks.” I nodded. 
“Alright.” He nodded, looking up at me with glassy jade eyes. “Let’s get you tucked in, shall we?”
I smiled, walking over to his bed. 
I picked the side farthest from the door and closest to the window. 
Harry pulled back the covers, waiting for me to climb in before he rested them over my legs. He set the bottle of water on the bedside table, two painkillers falling to the wood next to the plastic bottle. He sat down next to my legs, ripping into the makeup wipes with ease. I watched him pluck a sheet out before closing the pack back up, tossing it to the nightstand with the other items. I rolled my lips in as he turned towards me, holding the cloth out. 
“Do you want me to do it?” He asked. “Just so you know it’s all gone?” 
“Yes, please.” I nodded. 
I could take my makeup off in my sleep. 
I’d done it before, actually. 
But there was something about being doted on by Harry that I wasn’t ready to give up just yet. 
I preened as he wiped the cloth over my skin with gentle strokes, swiping away concealer and highlighter with ease. I let my eyes slip shut when he asked, his index finger gently brushing at the small bit of liquid liner and shimmery shadow on my lids. When it got to my lips, he did a few quick dabs before his touch was gone from my face all together. 
“All clean.” He smiled, tossing the wipe towards the bin in the corner of the room. “Alright, I’m going to tuck you in and turn on a movie. I’ll just be on the floor next to you if you need anything at all. Bathroom is through that door right there.”
“Don’t sleep on the floor.” I rolled my eyes. “I’m okay with sharing a bed with you, Harry. Friends do that all the time, don’t they?”
“But you’re drunk.” He said softly. “And I don’t want you to feel pressured or uncomfortable-” 
“I don’t.” I said. “From the moment we met, you’ve made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. I promise that I don’t feel unsafe or pressured in any way, Harry. If you feel more comfortable sleeping on the floor, then I understand, but I’m okay with you sleeping next to me.”
Harry reached up to rustle his long strands of hair, his curls flopping about as he looked at me with a curious gaze. He inhaled sharply, nibbling on his lower lip as I stared back at him with raised brows and an amused grin. 
“I’ll put a pillow wall between us and everything.” I said. “If it makes you feel comfortable.”
“I just don’t want you to wake up in the morning and freak out.” He said softly. “You’ve had a lot to drink and if you don’t remember any of this tomorrow, it might be a little scary to wake up with a strange man in your bed.”
“Well, it’s your bed.” I said softly. “And I’ve been worse off than this and still remembered what happened the night before, Harry. I come from a very small town where drinking is considered a sport. This is a regular Tuesday for me.”
“Alright.” He whispered through a breathy laugh. “But if you change your mind at any point through the night, feel free to kick me out of bed.”
“I won’t.” I rolled my eyes. “Get ready for bed, yeah? You’ve got a big day tomorrow and I can’t have you losing a match because of me. People will think I’m bad luck.”

Harry’s POV 
When I woke up in the middle of the night, our pillow wall was gone. 
Piper’s cheek was pressed into her pillow, soft puffs of air escaping her parted lips as she tightened her grip on my shirt. Her hand was resting on my tummy and her foot was hooked over my calf muscle, but she remained on her side of the bed. I lay there for a minute, watching her peaceful face as she slept. I tried to commit her features to memory, my heart squeezing in my chest as she shuffled around a bit. I rested my hand over hers, softly brushing my fingers over her knuckles as her body moved just a little closer to mine. 
The dry feeling in my mouth pulled me from my peaceful moment, urging me to go downstairs for my own bottle of water. It was silent in the house, no more music pumping through the speakers downstairs, and I felt safe enough to leave Piper on her own in my room without the doors locked. I would only be gone for a few minutes at the most, running down for water before I ran back up to curl back up next to the sleeping girl in my bed. 
When I made it downstairs, Louis was already in the kitchen.
“Hey,” I grumbled, walking over to the fridge. “What are you doing up?”
“Same as you.” He said. “Thirsty.”
“Hmm.” I nodded. “Eleanor still knocked out cold?”
“Yeah.” He chuckled. “Love that girl to death, but she snores like a bloody chainsaw.”
“That she does.” I laughed, pulling a water bottle out. “I’m glad she’s got Piper as a friend. It was nice to see her unwind tonight.”
“It was.” Louis nodded, pressing his hip into the countertop. “Piper likes you.”
I nearly choked on my water as Louis looked up at me. 
“What?” I asked. “How on earth-” 
“It’s obvious, mate.” Louis rolled his eyes, an amused grin on his lips. “She’s got a bit of a crush on you, but what girl doesn’t?”
“Lou-” I said slowly, my eyes narrowing. “Why do I feel like you’re about to give me a speech.”
“It would break my heart if Eleanor lost her as a friend, Harry.” Louis said softly. “She doesn’t have anyone over here and I at least have you and Niall, you know? If she lost Piper because you two decided to fool around and things ended badly-”
“That’s not what this is.” I said quickly. “And I don’t appreciate what you’re trying to say, either. I would never hurt Piper, or anyone, on purpose. She’s a very sweet girl and it just so happens that I’ve liked her for a while.”
“You know each other, then?” Louis brows arched up and I sighed. “Wasn’t aware.” 
“We don’t know each other, but I’ve seen her around campus.” I mumbled. “Always had my eyes on her, Lou. She’s fucking gorgeous.”
“Harry,” Louis said softly. “I’m asking you as a friend, please don’t get involved.” 
“That’s a shitty thing to ask.” My voice was hoarse. “It’s late and we’re both still pissed. I’m going to bed.” 
“Just think about it.” He said, knocking his knuckles against the countertop. 
Lucky for Louis, it was all I could think about for the rest of the night.

Piper’s POV 
When I woke up the next morning, I could feel Harry’s heartbeat against my cheek.
The annoying beeping of his alarm had me groaning and turning my face into his chest. I heard him mutter a soft series of ‘sorry’s’ before it turned off. Harry’s arm draped over my back, holding me against his chest as I closed my eyes again. I let out a soft hum as he brushed his fingers up and down my back, his chest rising and falling slowly under my head. 
“I see that we’ve lost the pillow wall.” Harry’s voice was deep and raspy, causing a shiver to run up my spine. 
“Sorry.” I whispered, lifting my head up as I pressed my palm to his chest. “I guess I tossed it aside in the middle of the night.” 
“You did.” He chuckled softly. “You pushed it down with your feet and then you pulled it out and chucked it because you were trying to get comfortable.” 
“You watched me?” I asked, blinking a few times to try and focus my vision as I rested my chin on the back of my hand.
“I felt you flopping around like a fish out of water and I had to check on you.” He said slowly, his own eyes still shut. “I fell back asleep and when I woke up for a wee you were snuggled so tightly against me that I could barely pry you off.”
“I didn’t know that I was a cuddler.” I mumbled softly. “I’ve never really slept in a bed with anyone else before.”
“Well, you can tick that box off of your bucket list.” He smiled, his fingers still brushing over my back as I looked down at him. “You staring at me?” 
“A little.” I confessed, a small smile creeping up on my lips. “Think you’re pretty.”
“Love,” He let out a breathy chuckle. “Easy.”
“What?” I asked, dropping my head back to his chest. “Why can’t I say you're pretty? We spent the night together, I’m allowed to compliment you a little.”
“Do you think it’s a good idea to flirt with me?” He cleared his throat, shifting around under me. I groaned, falling back to the pillow next to him. “Do friends flirt?”
Friends.
I should have known better. 
There was no way on earth someone like Harry would want to be with someone like me.
“Friends can call each other pretty.” I said dejectedly, turning on my side. “And friends can cuddle, too.”
“Well, if it makes you feel better, you’re an amazing cuddler.” He said softly, pressing his palm to my bicep as he leaned over to kiss my temple. “You’re welcome to sleep more if you’d like, but I would love to take you out to breakfast.”
“Breakfast?” I turned my head, looking at him with furrowed brows. “I thought you had a match this morning?”
“I’ve got a few hours.” He rested his body next to mine, his head falling on the pillow next to mine lazily. “Eleanor will be at the match.”
“I know.” I whispered. 
“You should sit with her.” Harry smiled. “I would like that.”
“Okay.” I said softly as he snaked his arm underneath my own, curling it around my middle. I tried to fight off a smile. “Thought we were getting up?”
“Few more minutes.” He mumbled. “You smell nice. S’that your perfume or your shampoo?”
“Probably both.” I smiled, resting my palm over his forearm. “Both sweet pea scented.”
“Piper.” He mused. “Sweet pea.”
“What are you mumbling about?” I asked, trying to contain my giggles at his sleepy rambling. 
“Gonna call you sweet pea.” He mumbled. “Because your name starts with a P and you’re so sweet.” 
Fuck being friends. 
I liked this boy.
And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t ignore the fluttering feeling in my stomach. 
I was truly fucked.

Piper’s POV 
There were only a few seconds left in the match and our boys were killing it. 
Eleanor gripped my hand tighter as Louis shouted to Niall across the field. Seconds later, he was kicking the ball with the side of his foot. Harry was much closer to the goal, ready to land the winning kick into the goal. I looked at him, his chest heaving and his hairline coated in a thin sheen of sweat. His face was intense and it made my thighs clench ever so slightly to see him so serious. He was always so attractive in the middle of a game, his brows pulled together and his lips pinched tightly together. I loved watching him pull his hair up before a game, twisting the long strands around before he tossed it up in a bun on top of his head. 
“He’s got this.” I said. “Come on, Lou!”
“He’s gonna pass to Harry.” She shook her head. “He has to, babe. He’ll miss from back there.”
“They have five fucking seconds.” We always got a bit snippy during games, but never at each other. “It better be a flawless fucking pass.”
Louis passed the black and white checked ball to Harry with a swift kick and I held my breath, waiting to see what would happen. Harry pushed a guy on the opposing team gently with his shoulder, sliding low until his foot collided with the ball. Just as the last second ticked down, it collided with the net behind the goal and Harry collapsed on his back as players rushed around him. 
Everyone cheered loudly, Eleanor jumping up with a loud cheer alongside the crowd. I could barely move, my heart thumping so loudly that it was all I could hear. I watched Harry’s back flat on the ground, my eyes watering as he continued to stay still. When I saw him sit up, shaking his head, I finally took a deep breath. Moments later, Louis and Niall were lifting him up on their shoulders. 
“Thank, fuck.” I whispered, standing up next to Eleanor as I clapped. 
Harry’s eyes flitted to the stands, landing on mine with a wide grin. 
He was covered in mud and dirt, but he was fine. 
Eleanor grabbed my hand, guiding me down towards the field. 
She was quick to launch on Louis when her feet hit the grass and Niall was quick to run over and scoop me up. I patted him on the back, laughing as he shook me around in his arms. 
“We won!” He cheered. “We bloody won!” 
“I know!” I chuckled, brushing my hand over the back of his head. “I’m proud of you, Ni.”
He put me on my feet, pressing a kiss to my cheek before he turned around to Harry. He grabbed his best mate by the face, kissing his forehead before he ran off shouting something that was terribly hard to make out. I rolled my eyes, steadying myself on my feet. Harry walked over to me, holding his arms out with that same wide and cheeky grin on his lips. 
“Come give your best mate a hug,” He said. “Gotta thank my good luck charm.”
“Harry, no.” I said, holding my hands up. “You’re covered in mud and grass and- Harry!” 
I squealed, taking off on the grass as Harry chased me. 
I dodged a few members of the opposing team, apologizing profusely. 
It didn’t take very long for Harry to wrap his arms around me, pulling me against his chest. 
“I deserve a bloody hug, sweet pea.” He squeezed me tight. “I won!”
“I know, but you’re gross.” I groaned, dropping my head back. “You get to shower before we go to lunch and I don’t.” 
“You could always join.” He whispered, his lips brushing against the shell of my ear. “Know you’ve been dying to see me naked, haven’t ya pea?”
“I will elbow you.” I grumbled, spinning around in his arms. “Don’t be a prick.”
“Just like watching you blush, Piper.” He reached over, pinching my cheek softly. “Where are we going for lunch today?” 
“Where do we always go for lunch?” I rolled my eyes. “Go on, get cleaned up so we can go.”
“Fine, fine.” He sighed. “I’ll see you in ten?”
“I’ll be here.”
I walked back over to Eleanor and Louis, my mind stuck on Harry’s cheeky comment. 
I hated when he did stuff like that. 
He was always toying with my emotions, pulling me to and fro like I didn’t have any feelings at all. He knew that I had a crush on him and he knew that it sucked for me to be so close, but I had the power to stop it at any time. The truth was that I couldn’t stomach the thought of being away from him like that. I wanted him in my life, no matter how I could have him. I walked towards Eleanor with a heavy sigh, crossing my arms over my chest as she kissed Louis deeply. 
Being around a couple constantly was torture when you weren’t apart of one yourself. Especially when the person you wanted to be a couple with was always around anyways. When the pair were done kissing, Louis ran off towards the stadium to take a shower in the locker room. Eleanor smiled over at me and I gave her a blank stare, my lips turning down. 
“What happened?” she asked softly. 
“He’s done it again!” I tossed my hands up. “He was all ‘you should come shower with me, I know you want to see me naked’. Isn’t he the one who keeps insisting we should just be friends?” 
“He’s an idiot.” She rolled her eyes. “I hate that he keeps doing this and I hate that you won’t let me talk to him about it.”
“I don’t want to come between you and an old friend, El.” I shook my head. “He’ll grow up eventually, I guess. If he doesn’t, I guess I’ll have to start moving on.”
“I think you two would be so perfect for each other, babe.” She sighed. “I don’t know what his deal is!”
“Has Louis said anything?” I ask softly. “I don’t want to pry but-”
“Not a word.” She said, her sympathetic grin causing my heart to sink. “He spends all of his time with you and we both know that he’s into you, but something is holding him back.”
“Yeah.” I grimaced. “I like him so much, El.”
“I know.” She frowned. “I wish I could smack some sense into that thick skull of his. I mean, men can be so daft and then they say we’re the complicated ones!”
“I know!” I exclaimed. “Anyways, you and Lou are still coming to lunch with us, right?”
“Yeah.” She nodded. “Louis is dying for a turkey apple sandwich.”
“That does sound good.” I hummed out. “I was thinking about soup, though, it’s freezing out here.”
“Oh, soup.” She groaned out. “That’s perfect,”

Harry’s Pov
I wrapped my towel around my waist, letting out a heavy sigh as I turned the faucet off. 
I hated what I was doing to Piper. 
My sweet pea.
I couldn’t help but rile her up like that, watching her face flush red as I whispered in her ear. 
Part of me was certain that I was riling her up so that she would make the first move. If that was the case, maybe Louis would realize that our feelings for each other were real. 
“Mate,” Louis said. “What was that on the field?” 
“What do you mean?” I asked, my brows furrowing as I walked up to my locker. “We won, Lou.”
“I meant when you were chasing Piper.” He said. “That was flirting, Harry.”
I snapped my mouth shut. 
If he heard the things that passed between Piper and I when we were alone, he’d be livid. 
It was borderline verbal sex with us sometimes, the tension so thick that it had her clamping her legs shut and me shifting in my seat. 
“Was just teasing her, Lou.” I rolled my eyes. “You’re not getting onto Niall for picking her up and kissing her face.”
“Niall means no harm.”
“And neither do I.” I shot him a glare. “Mind your mouth.”
“Why her, Harry?” He sighed. “You could have any bird or lad on campus and you want her, why?”
“Because she’s Piper.” I turned towards him. “She’s the one that I want, okay. I can’t tell you why I think about her every moment of the day or why I want to be with her, I just do. I want to be there for her and you’re stupid fucking fear for Eleanor is standing in my way.”
“You can do what you want.” Louis’ jaw tensed. “M’not standing in your fookin’ way, mate.”
“But you are!” I shouted. “You are because you know that I would never do anything to hurt you or El because you’re family to me. You asked me not to do something and I’m being respectful of that because I respect you. I can’t say that you respect me though, because you would never ask this of me if you did. Can’t you see that this is killing me?”
Louis let out a frustrated huff as I turned back to my locker. 
I grabbed my clothes, angrily pulling them on before I ran my towel over the wet strands of my hair. Piper would be pissed to see me pulling at my curls instead of properly scrunching them up with a soft t-shirt, but I couldn’t be arsed to care about that right now. I slammed my locker shut, hiking my bag onto my shoulder before I stormed out of the locker room. When I walked out onto the field, Eleanor and Piper were whispering amongst themselves. 
“I just don’t get it.” Piper let out a sad sigh. “I want-”
“I know, babe!” Eleanor interrupted her with a chipper voice, pressing her hand to Piper’s bicep with a wide smile. “I wish they still had pumpkin spice too, I already miss it.”
“You women and your pumpkin spice.” I grumbled, pressing my hand to Piper’s hip before I leaned down to kiss her cheek. “Know you miss it, Pea, but it’s peppermint season now.”
“You’re right.” She gave me a playful pout. “I guess I can survive with that for now.”
“Thatta girl.” I chuckled, pulling my hand back as she reached up to touch my hair. “What?”
“You didn’t scrunch your hair properly, H.” She sighed. “I’ve told you to take better care of these curls! They’re going to be frizzy when they dry.”
I licked over my bottom lip, resisting the urge to lean down and kiss the pout off of her lips. 
“Sweet Pea, I’m sorry.” I said softly. “I was in a little bit of a rush, yeah? Wanted to get my favorite girls to lunch.”
“In that case, I guess I can forgive you.” She mumbled. 
                                                    ☕️☕️☕️☕️
Piper’s POV 
I sipped at my peppermint latte as Harry tossed a french fry into his mouth. 
“So when are you all flying home?” I asked. “Only a few weeks left until Christmas and exams are almost over.”
“El and I are flying out next Friday.” Louis said, smiling over at his girlfriend. “I’m excited to see me Mum and sisters.”
“Me too.” Eleanor nodded. “Missed them all.”
“What about you, H?” I asked. 
“I decided to stay.” He shrugged. “I don’t want to disrupt my schedule mid year, you know? It’ll be hard for me to get back into things come January if I spend an entire three weeks vegging out with Mum and Gem.”
“Oh.” I said softly, my face falling as he cleared his throat. 
He was avoiding something and he was sad about it. 
“I’m not going home either.” I said softly. “Too expensive to fly around the holiday’s, you know? Don’t make nearly enough being a full time fan girl for the footie team.”
“Tell me about it.” Eleanor rolled her eyes playfully. “Who do I talk to about getting that raise I was promised.”
“Oh, you get plenty as it is.” Louis leaned forward, capturing her lips. “Pay you in love and other things.”
Harry let out a frustrated sigh, standing up from the table. 
“I’ve gotta go.” He pulled his wallet out, tossing twenty five dollars onto the table. “S’enough for both of us and the tip, Pea. I’ll see you later in Mcgregor Hall for our study session.”
“H-”
“Bye.” He leaned over, pressing a sloppy kiss to my forehead before doing the same to El. 
I watched him storm out with a confused look on my face. 
“Should I not have asked about Christmas?” I looked at Eleanor with soft eyes. “I can’t….El, I can’t do this anymore.”
“Babe, it’s gonna be fine.” She said softly. “He’s just a bit moody today, isn’t he? Misses his Mum a whole lot, it has nothing to do with you.” 
“What are you two on about?” Louis asked, glancing between us. “Is something going on between you and Harry?”
“No.” I shook my head. “That’s the problem.”
“They have this chemistry and Piper really likes Harry, but he told her that being friend’s was their best option.” Eleanor explained softly. “Sometimes he’s sweet on her though and it makes her sad because she wants him.”
“El.” I mumbled, my cheeks growing warm. “He doesn’t need all of the details.”
“You like that miserable sod?” Louis asked. “You’re not worried about a relationship with him ruining your friendship?” 
“Not really.” I shook my head at Louis. “Harry and I will always be friends.” 
“No, I mean,” Louis sighed. “You’re not worried about it ruining you and Eleanor’s friendship?”
“No.” I said slowly. “What are you talking about?”
“I feel like if you and Harry were to break up, you wouldn’t want to be friends with El because he’s always around.” Louis said softly. “Wouldn’t that be hard?”
“For a bit, yeah.” I shrugged. “We’re both mature, though. I think we could work through any differences and remain friends.”
“Why are you being so nosy?” Eleanor narrowed her eyes, looking at Louis. “What have you done?”
“Nothin’!” Louis exclaimed. “I’ve not done anythin’.”
“Louis!” She cried out. “You’re lying to me.”
“M’not.” He fidgeted in his seat, avoiding her gaze. “Swear I meant well.”
“Louis, what did you do?” I asked softly, my heart dropping as he avoided my gaze. “What did you do?”
“I didn’t do anything, I just…” He licked over his bottom lip, looking between Eleanor and I with wide eyes. “I just asked him to consider your friendship with Eleanor before making any moves on you. I didn’t want to see her lose her best friend, you know?”
“You’re a sodding prick, Louis Tomlinson.” Eleanor snapped. “You knew that Harry would respect that if you asked. He thinks of you as a brother and he would do anything for you.”
“I have to go.” I grabbed my bag and my coat. “I have to find Harry.”
“Go on,” Eleanor said. “I’ve got a very naughty boyfriend to deal with.”
                                           ❄️💠❄️💠❄️💠❄️
The first place I ran to was the frat house. 
Harry wasn’t there and Niall hadn’t seen him at all. 
The second place I ran was the park on the far end of campus that we often spent weekends at.
He wasn’t there either. 
When I finally found him, I was only a little shocked. 
“You just played a match, mate.” I let out a relieved sigh when he snapped his head up, his eyes softening when he saw me. “What are you doing out here?”
“Just needed to clear my head.” He said as I walked closer. “Why are you here?”
“I had to see you.” I took a deep breath, swiping the ball from between Harry’s feet with a swift kick. It landed in the goal and Harry let out an amused, but breathy chuckle. “I’m getting good.”
“You’ve got a good teacher.” He snorted out a laugh. “Everything okay, sweet pea?”
“No.” I said. “You see, I’ve got this friend and he’s having some girl trouble.”
“Oh, yeah?” He asked. “What’s his deal?”
“He really likes this girl and he flirts with her all the time, but he hasn’t made a move.” I shrugged, glancing up at Harry. “There’s this other friend of theirs that asked an impossible favor of him and he’s being loyal, which I admit is admirable, but a little daft, as you would say.”
Harry’s Adam's apple bobbed up and down softly and he looked over my head. 
“He does sound quite daft, doesn’t he?” He let out a soft laugh, closing his eyes. “Piper-”
“It makes me love him more though.” I said softly. “The fact that he’s putting aside his feelings because he’s that loyal to the people he loves. It’s stupid, but really sweet.”
“You think so?” He asked, his eyes a little watery as he looked down at me. 
“I do.” I nodded. “Why didn’t you talk to me about this, Harry? We share everything with each other and-”
“This was the one thing I couldn’t tell you, pea.” He said softly. “I never wanted to hurt you and...I knew that this would.  I didn’t want you to feel like I was choosing something over you, because that isn’t the case.” 
“Harry, it’s okay.” I said softly. “I would have understood and I also would have had a very long talk with Louis about minding his own business, darling. You’re free to be with whoever you want and no one can tell you otherwise.”
“What if I want to be with my beautiful best friend, pea?” He reached up, brushing his thumb over my chin. “What if I want to be with the girl that stole my heart the moment I saw her?”
“Then make a fucking move, Styles.” I let out a breathy laugh as he leaned closer. “She won’t wait around forever. She’s a fucking catch and-”
Harry’s lips pressed into mine, cold and wet and perfect. 
I pressed my fingers into his shoulders, gripping his coat tightly with glove covered fingers. 
He tilted his head slightly, pressing a soft kiss to the corner of my lips. 
“You’re perfect, Piper.” His breath washed over my lips as I shuffled closer, desperately seeking his body heat. “I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t apologize.” I said. “Just be with me, H. Be mine.”
“I’ve always been yours, Piper.” He brushed the tip of his nose over mine. “Always will be.”
When Harry’s lips pressed to mine again, something wet landed on my cheek. 
We both pulled back, looking up at the sky with wide smiles. 
“Snow.” I said softly. 
“Christmas miracle isn’t complete with snow, is it?” He teased, brushing his nose against mine. 
“Shut up and kiss me.” 
                                                 🎄❄️🎄❄️🎄❄️
Harry’s POV 
Louis looked like a child who had just been told Santa wasn’t real when Piper and I walked back into the cafe holding hands. He shot me a soft look that said ‘mate, I’m really sorry for being a dickhead’ and I gave him a tight smile in response. We still needed to have a talk about everything, but there was no use in fighting over something that was in the past now. It felt good, sitting next to Piper as her boyfriend and not just her best friend. It was sudden and my mind was still reeling, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. I walked her back to her dorm that night with a pout on my lips and our fingers tightly laced together. 
“I don’t want to say goodbye, pea.” I mumbled, my thumb brushing against her cheek softly as we stood in front of her door. “Just got you.”
“You’ve always had me.” She snorted out a soft laugh. 
“Never been able to make out with you, though.” I wiggled my brows. “Think we can finally carry through on all that sexual banter we’ve been partaking in.”
“Yeah.” She said quickly, her cheeks getting pinker. “But not tonight, H. Think we should take some time apart to think about things before we jump right in. It’s going to be a bit different now and I need to get used to the idea.” 
“Take as much time as you need.” I pressed my lips to hers in a soft kiss. “I’ll be waiting.”
I was only slightly regretting my words now. 
Everyone had left for Christmas and we had the house to ourselves. 
We were in the middle of a movie marathon in the living room, a few bottles of wine and takeout boxes scattered on the coffee table as we snuggled into each other. Piper’s head rested on my chest and her fingers rested against my stomach, slightly drumming over the bit of holiday weight I had put on over the last week or so. She looked so cute all snuggled up in my sweater and a pair of fluffy sucks, my sweatpants tucked into them carelessly. 
“You’re thinking too loud.” She whispered, lifting her head up. “What’s going on in your head, H?”
“Just thinking about how cute you are.” I smiled down at her. “You’re all snuggled up in my clothes with your pretty hair and your pretty eyes. I just can’t believe that I’m lucky enough to call you my girl.”
Her eyes searched my face as I reached up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. 
“I want you.” She said softly. “But I’m scared.”
“I wasn’t…” I trailed off. “M’not trying to get in your pants, sweet pea. I just wanted you to know that I’m so in love with you.”
“And I’m in love with you.” She sat up. “And I would really, really like to show you how much I love you.”
“When you’re ready.” I said. “I know that you didn’t have the best first time and you’re a little nervous to dive back in, but I can wait. I want you to be one hundred percent ready when the time comes.”
She inhaled sharply before giving me a soft nod. 
“I love you.” I said, brushing my thumb over her bottom lip. “Get back over ‘ere, pea. Wanna snuggle you some more.”
                                               🎄❄️🎄❄️🎄❄️
Piper’s POV 
Harry was snoring softly in my ear on the couch. 
The sun had long gone down and the credits for The Holiday were rolling on the flatscreen in Harry’s living room. With a soft groan, I flipped around in his arms, nuzzling my face into his chest as he tightened his arms around me. The scent of his cologne filled my senses, nearly lulling me back to sleep. I was moments from falling back into dreamland when I felt something firm pressing between my thighs, causing my eyes to snap open. I pulled back to look at Harry’s face, his eyes still shut as he continued to softly snore. He was still fast asleep. 
I let out a soft gasp, my walls clenching down as I shifted against his thigh. I let out a soft gasp, my fingers tightening against his sweater as I stilled my hips. I tilted my head back, looking over his face as he slept peacefully. I didn’t want to wake him, but was done waiting. I wanted him. I wanted everything with Harry and I especially wanted to indulge passion filled moments with frantic hands and desperate kisses with a christmas film playing in the background. 
“Harry.” I said his name softly, my fingers trailing up his throat to cup his cheek. “Harry, baby, wake up.”
“S’wrong?” He asked, tucking his head down. “You alright?”
“I want you.” I said it softly, my heart pounding against my chest. “I’m ready.”
“Sweet pea, s’late.” He opened his eyes. “Are you sleep talkin’?”
“No.” I shook my head. “I mean it.” 
I rolled my hips, grinding my core against his thigh to really send the message through. 
“Piper.” He gasped, his eyes wide open. “Darling, what….what’re you doing?”
“Was trying to snuggle up to you and you put your thigh between my legs, H.” I said timidly, my face heating up under his gaze. His lips were curling into a soft smile and I bit the inside of my cheek. “It felt nice.”
“S’that why you want me?” He let out a breathy laugh, shaking his head. “Needy girl.”
“Please.” I whispered. “I need you.”
“I’ve got ye’.” He leaned down, pressing a series of soft kisses to my lips. “Gonna push your pants down, okay?”
I nodded, but she shook his head. 
“If we’re doing this, I want to hear you.” He said. “I need you to say what you want.”
“Take my pants off.” I griped, tilting my head back.
“Good girl.” 
Two little words.
They sent a shockwave through my body, running straight to my core. 
I let out a soft whimper as he pushed at the waistband of my pants. 
“M’too tired to fuck you.” He said softly. “But I promise to make you feel so good, sweet pea. Gonna have you cummin’ fo’ me.”
“Please.” 
I shifted my hips as he moved the waistband of my sweats to my thighs, his hand brushing up the skin of my leg to my hip. He gave it a soft squeeze as our lips collided and I squirmed beneath him. He pulled back, brushing his nose against mine with his eyes shut tight. 
“Do you want my fingers?” He asked me softly. 
“I do.” I nodded. “My fingers are too small and I can never get the angle right when I try.”
“Fuck, pea.” He groaned, opening his eyes. “You’re killing me, my love.”
“Just want to love you.” I pouted my bottom lip out. “Wanna feel good.”
“I know, darling.” He sponged a few soft kisses over my hairline. “Let me get on my back, okay. I want you to ride my fingers.”
Harry wrapped his arms around my body, turning onto his back. I fumbled, my chest pressed tightly to his as he let one of his hands trail over my bum. I whimpered when he tucked his fingers between the crease of my bum and my thigh, brushing the pads of his fingers over my lower lips. His other hand maneuvered its way between our bodies, his thumb brushing swiftly over my clit before it dipped towards my entrance. 
“S’this okay?” He asked. “You feel comfortable?” 
“Yes.” I nodded. “I’m good.” 
He inserted his thumb, pulling it out quickly before he slipped it back up to my clit. 
He rubbed soft circles over it as his fore and middle finger brushed over my entrance in a teasing manner. 
I rolled my hips, desperate to have them inside of me. 
“Yeah, just like that.” He said gruffly. “Ride my fingers, sweet pea. Take what you want from me.”
I gasped when he pushed two fingers into me, my slick walls stretching around them as I moved my hips. I pushed down as Harry curled his fingers up, stroking over that spongy spot inside of me. I moved my hips up, his fingers sliding out slowly before I fucked back onto them. He cooed, brushing the pad of his thumb over my clit in quick circles. 
“You’re so tight, Piper.” He whispered into my hairline as I gripped onto his shoulders. “You’re clenching my fingers so tight.”
“Feels so good, Harry.” I whimpered. “Wanna cum.”
“Are you close?” He asked, a teasing lilt to his voice. “My girl is so greedy, isn’t she? Gonna cum before I properly fuck her with my fingers becuase she wants it so bad, isn’t that right?”
“Yes.” I gasped against his throat. “I need to cum, Harry. It feels so good and I can’t...I need it, baby. Please let me cum.”
“Take it.” He said, sliding his free hand up to my hip. “Take it from me, Piper. Make yourself cum for me sweet pea.”
I felt my thighs clamping as he pressed harder against my clit, my hips stilling against his hand as he stroked that spongy spot inside of me. I felt my walls clenching down around his digits, my whole body warm as my mouth fell open. It was better than any orgasm I had ever experienced on my own and it had me crying out into the skin of his neck. He brushed his hand up my back, slowly slipping my fingers out as I started to come down. 
“You’re so good.” he whispered. “That was perfect, darling. Did so well for me, didn’t you, pea?” 
“That was nice.” I mewled. “Thank you, thank you-”
“Gonna treat you so good tomorrow, darling.” He promised, a sharp edge to his voice. “Gonna spend hours with my head between those pretty thighs and then I’m gonna fuck you like you want. Gonna have you screaming for me, sweet pea.”
I whimpered into his neck, nodding. 
“I want that.” I whispered. 
My eyes felt heavy as he started to pull my pants back up. 
“I love you so much, H.” I whispered, my eyes slipping shut as he covered me up. “Love you, darling.”
“I love you more, pea.” he whispered. “Go to sleep, baby. I’ll be right here when you wake up.”
I drifted off to the sound of Harry’s voice, my face snuggling into his shirt. 
This was all I ever needed.

Complicated
Shirabu x Reader
a/n: im not very familiar with shirabu on a spiritual level like i am w the other characters but ill try my best!! 
request:  okok haikyuu hcs: shirabu is reader’s childhood best friend and messed up their last game in middle school because he changed his setting style to accommodate ushijima,,, and reader, as the manager is very very pissed and they get into a huge fight,,, so once they get to stz they’re academic rivals, reader became the vbc manager just to spite him (oh yea they definitely still have crushes on each other but it’s hard with the current situation) only if it’s ok!! not a lot of ppl write for him :
this is kinda the best friends-to-rivals-to-friends again-to-lovers
requests open!!
Tumblr media
lets get our inhalers bc this finna be a wild one luvs
so, basically,
you and him were actually childhood friends since he lived next door to you
lets say you met when you were 5 and you just stuck on to this slightly cold and dismissive boy who was the shy type
idk bout you but i actually like that type
ppl dont really understand how yall got along bc you were the extrovert and the laughing type of girl
he only stuck around bc you were actually a smart person who helped him occassionally w your organized notes
but he still appreciates your time and efforts to be his friend despite his personality
plus, you also liked volleyball and together you both would watch volleyball matches in his house where you would see him with a smile that he unconsciously wears
like when yall were 8, you gave him a volleyball for his birthday since he lost his old one when he was playing by the river
at first, he was like, ‘oh, thanks, i needed this’
but then as he started tossing it up and down, you could see that bashful smile starting to surface
you shrieked, 
bc you rarely see it and you think its super cute,
and just wrap him up in a hug and he turns all shy again but with a soft smile and a soft blush
‘thanks, n/n-chan’
uh oh, feelings
stinky
since he mainly focused on doing homework or studying, not a whole lot of kids really approached him to hang out since they thought he only lived to study and play volleyball
but you didnt care bc youve been friends w this bun for a long time and you know hes not really like that
he has fun moments too
since you were the manager of the volleyball team, you always try to showcase how fun he was by trying to take the team to bonding places 
the team does think that shirabu has fun but only if its w you
anyways
one afternoon, you naturally just go to his house w him since your mothers know youre practically best friends and so you basically live in each others houses
yall were about halfway through middle school so shirabu has been studying more to get scholarships for schools
he was studying on the little table while leaning against his bed while you were just lounging on his bed after studying
‘ken-channnnn’
oikawa 2.0
‘hm’
you pouted at the distracted reply before sitting up and wrapping your arms around his shoulder from behind him and placing your chin on his shoulder
‘lets do something fun!!!! im boredddd’
he wasnt really fazed by the skinship bc youve been like that to him since day 1
but thats going to change soon
‘i have a new sudoku book over there that you could do’
omg what
‘ken-chan!’
you shrieked in betrayal before leaping off the bed and grabbing his arm to stand him up
shirabu was actually annoyed that you were distracting his studying but seeing a wide grin on your face made him double stop
am i,,,, catching feelings?
nah, he just going through puberty
‘lets go to the fall market! yuki-chan told me theres a new food place that opened and theyre handing out free samples!’
you excitedly told him and continued shaking his arm to persuade him in going
‘n/n-chan, this is my only free day from volleyball to study. i need to pass the test on friday’
you rolled your eyes at that lame excuse
‘i know. i set up the schedule differently bc you have a big test on friday! but you would still have time to study!’
‘but im still unfamilair with the topic-’
‘cmon, ken-chan! youre so smart you could rival buddha!’
‘i dont think,,,,, thats a right comparison’
‘either way, we’re going to hang out and have fun!’
he honestly didnt know why he was at this crowded market w you
shirabu is a whole simp
‘omg ken-chan! look! takoyaki!’
you dragged him to the stall and the nice old lady smiled before taking your order
‘1 box please. ken-chan, you want?’
he shook his head no and started taking out his wallet to pay
but you stopped him
‘no, you dont have to pay since youre not eating’
‘but i want to’
‘ken-chan! you need to save up for college!’
‘no its fine im pay-’
‘here ya go, dear. free of charge’
you both stopped at the nice lady’s sentence
‘b-but’
‘no it’s okay. its cute to find a boy who’s willing to pay for his girl since that doesnt really happen nowadays. i hope you have a great rest of your date!’
‘it’s not a da-’
‘thank you, maam’
shirabu takes the box and leads you out of there
you smirk and poke his tummy
‘you want to go on a date with me, ken-chan~?’
he turns red and looks away
‘no. it wouldve taken longer to fully explain the situation so just go along with it to make it faster’
you giggled
‘hm sounds fake but okay’
you both continue to walk around the market and even buy a few things like a mini buddha statue or a pair of cat ears for both of you
with everything you bought, shirabu payed with it all
you were pouting as you walked and he noticed so he nudged you with his elbow
‘oi, what’s wrong?’
you crossed your arms
‘hm.. i dont like that ken-chan is buying and spending money for me on things that symbolize our fun. i want to give ken-chan something to remember this day too!’
shirabu grows flustered but hes really confused
youve always been a thoughtful person who tries to be independent but unconsciously ends up depending on others like him
but your thoughts of wanting to do something in return for him just sounds like heaven right now
lmao what a simp
he looks around for a place that could have something that sparked his interest but nothing caught his eye
until he caught a photo booth by the corner
‘oi, n/n-chan, let’s go there’
you followed his finger and you gasped
‘thats perfect, ken-chan! let’s go!’
you drag him to the booth and you giddily enter the coins for the machine to start
but he was starting to think this wasnt a good idea
he was in a cramp space with you pressed against him
but youve always been glomped to his side since yall were kids so what was the difference now?
bc you catching feelings, fool!
‘ken-chan! its starting!’
he finally snaps out of his flustered state and he raises a peace sign with a smile
with all the pictures, there were funny pictures of you and him,
well mainly you
but he was happy to have them w you
‘ken-chan, you know i love you, but when will you fix your hair?’
he glared at you
‘i like it so its staying that way’
you giggled at his attitude
‘okay, ken-chan. at least it would make you stand out in the crowd so i dont have to look for you!’
you hugged his waist and he froze up, suddenly feeling awkward with this familiar position
its okay, shes naturally like this so calm down
dontcrydontcrydontcrydontcry
after your hang out, he didnt even bother going back to studying
he just laid on his bed, looking at the strip of pictures with a fond smile
he was happy that you only showed that true, bright, happy grin to him
it was only for him
and he only showed his to you
bc you were you and you were the greatest thing, next to his parents, that he has in his life
omg that thought
he freezes and the picture falls on his face at that realization
omg, does he like you?
youre a great friend and his best friend and he wants to be your friend forever
but then, he realizes
youd separate one day and youd have a boyfriend and get married and have a family without him
no, he wasnt going to let that happen
he didnt like that thought
and thus, began his crush for you
and you were the same thing too but you noticed it later than him
oof, when this one girl confessed to him at the back of the school, you cried to him when yall got home
‘when ken-chan has a girlfriend, he wont hang out with me anymore! hes not going to be my friend anymore!’
it took some reassurance from him and more from your mom, when you got home, to realize that you liked your best friend
and thus began the skinny love stage
the whole volley team knew of your pining and tbh, they thought yall were dating but you were just like, nah, we friends
if anyone were to look at you, they would think the same thing
but ofc, yall are insecure hormonal teenagers who think that the other doesnt like them and if they confess, they would be rejected and that would ruin their friendship and they would not be friends anymore and they dont think they could handle that so its better to keep the feelings hidden and remain friends bc if theyre happy, theyre happy
oml my entire love life
this continued on until the last year of middle school
bc not only do you suddenly stop being friends, you became rivals
so as volleyball manager, you helped the team with whatever they needed in return of them doing their absolute best and winning the game
the last game of the year, you were slightly confused at the way shirabu was playing bc it wasnt the normal way he sets
before, his sets were so good that he could give it to any player and they would spike perfectly
but now, it was so different due to the simple, almost lazy, and very high tosses
the team was slightly irritated bc they couldnt keep up with the high tosses so they couldnt hit it
in between the sets, during break, you pulled him aside as you wiped off his sweat
‘ken-chan, youre not setting properly to the others. theyre getting angry because it doesnt allow them to spike right.’
he glares at you, with almost manic eyes
‘its their fault for not being able to jump high enough. in order to get a point, the ace must get a high toss to aim a quick spike’
‘but theyre not able to jump that high, ken-chan!’
you whispered, worried that he was going too intense and they would lose the game
all the hard-work the others put in, all to waste
‘i dont care. i must start early and change early so ushijima could hit my sets in the future’
‘but they’re not ushijima, kenjiro!’
you whisper-yelled
‘right now, theres no ushijima, no oikawa, its just you and the team. your team’
he was shook that you used his first name and the way you were actually telling him off
youve never been like that before
but he was blinded by his goal in the future
‘why is he our ace if he couldnt even hit tosses meant for an ace?’
‘because hes not the ace you’re hoping him to be!’
‘kenjiro, listen to me, these boys have worked their asses off for years to even come close to playing against seijoh or shiratorizawa. im going to do everything i can to make that happen and im not going to let them lose just bc you are too busy focusing on the future rather than the present’
with the way he looked at you, you really thought he would listen to you and play the way his team needs him to play
but no, he played the way he thought ushijima needed him to play
in the end, due to the foreign and unfamiliar tosses, they were unable to hit as much points causing them to lose
you could never forget the looks on your fellow classmates, who were also going to graduate this year, as they watched the ball that shirabu tossed, hit the floor right next to them
to say you were pissed was an understatement
you were F U R I O U S ™
you held the hands of the first years as they were devastated at their first loss
but you caught the eye of your ‘friend’ and he was biting his lip in irritation and anger
as your team was walking to their locker room to get changed, you pulled shirabu aside
‘what the hell’
he stared at you
‘we lost. we lost bc they couldnt keep up’
‘kenjiro! are you not listening to yourself?! you lost because you couldnt accept the fact that your teammates arent ushijima wakatoshi! you couldnt accept the fact that they’re not tall enough! strong enough! ace-like enough! and for what?! for the future?! the future where you’re going to set for someone like ushijima?!’
‘i vowed to set for a player like him, y/n! i want to toss a ball to someone as powerful and as talented as him! thats a promise i intend to keep’
you were dumbfounded 
he was acting on his own reasons and selfish intent, even costing them a game, for his preparation in the future
‘i cannot believe you right now. i didnt know you were so selfish, shirabu. of all the years i knew you, you were never like this. so what changed?’
at the almost betrayed look on your face hurt him bc weren’t you always there to help him? to support him? wasnt that the reason you became a manager in the first place? 
‘you dont understand, y/n. i need to change the way i play now because it will greatly benefit me in the future’
honestly, you didnt even know why you were so angry about this
sure, it was volleyball and it was just a game
you had high school to win it again
but maybe it was the fact that he wasn’t being the shirabu you knew
the ken-chan you grew up with and harbored feelings for for years
he was turning to someone that worked not for himself, but for some guy he has never even spoken to
you blinked away the tears and looked off the side, away from his face
‘right. the future. yanno, if youre already like this, i dread to think about how you would act once you get that goal of yours. but i know one thing. im not going to be there to see it happen’
god that last sentence
he felt a piece of his world crumble bc were you saying goodbye? were you leaving him?
‘i cant see you torture yourself into changing into a new person, kenjiro. so good luck finding someone who can’
‘oh yea? well, i dont need you! i’ll be perfectly fine on my own and find someone better than you! youre easily replacable!’
that was a big booboo love
that fight costed him more than a decade of friendship and a few years of love
despite living so closely together, you refused to even acknowledge him and when your parents got together, you’d find some way to be out ofthe house or you’d lock yourself in your room
he tried many times to get to you and even cried to you, begging to not leave him
but you willed strong and you left him alone
omg she handled this so bad and i cant w puberting teenagers
eventually, he got tired of chasing you and was now angry at you for picking a team of people youve only met for a few years over him who’s been there for you since you were 5
he was betrayed, cold, and sad
however,
without each other to be there, you both studied even harder and eventually, you were both able to get into shiratorizawa
initially, you wanted nothing to do w that school since you knew kenjiro was going to be in it and that bastard ushijima wakatoshi was too
um,,, babygurl ushi did nothing to you
but your mother really wanted you to go to a nice school since she wanted you to go to a nice college
since yall werent friends anymore, he didnt know you wouldn’t be in shiratorizawa
so imagine his surprise when he saw you entering his class with the girls uniform on and a completely new hairstyle and hair color and were you wearing makeup?!
lmao she acting like they broke up
anyways, all he knows, is that boys were already looking at you and vying for attention and dear god, he didnt know how to handle that
for the first month of school, youd think you would just be ignoring each other like you did back in middle school
but nope!
somehow, yall were now talking again!
except it was a mean type of talking
you see, shirabu studied as much as he breathed and you were just a naturally smart sister who didnt study as much
but you still were able to make it to the top and currently, you were the 1st in your entire class
‘ara ara? 1st again? better luck next time, shirabu-kun~’
he glared at you from his seat as you passed by with a smug grin
this fueding is giving me vertigo
‘shut up. at least some of us work for our grades’
that was so weak lmao
but you turned around to blink your eyelashes, slightly mocking him
‘eh? are you saying that i’m naturally gifted? yanno, shirabu-kun, naturally gifted people are much better than those who have to work for it. you play with ushijima-senpai, right? so you’d know the difference between you two.’
bringing up ushijima always pained him but he kept repeating it to himself that he was doing it so that he could go to nationals
sensing his silence as defeat, you waved your hand and went back to conversing w your other friends
this continued on again for a while and he was already sick and tired of it
not only was it beginning to get annoying, it was beginning to hurt
he cornered you at your locker
aaaaa kabedon!!!!!!!
‘listen to me and listen well, y/n’
yessir im listening
‘whatever the hell youre doing, cut it out. youre not going to rile me up anymore and im not going to give you the reactions you want. i dont understand why youre doing this to me but you need to stop before i make you’
ohgodyessir
ngl, that tone of his voice was the lowest youve heard and it made you so red bc that was just hot
but you gulped before grinning wolfishly, hand pressed against his chest and the other snaking around his neck
you pulled him down to your level so you could lean close to his ear
‘now you listen to me and listen well, ken-chan, youre not my best friend anymore so you can no longer tell me what to do, kay?’
shirabu was just flustered at the close proximity between your lips and his ears that he completely missed your warning
he only snapped out of it when you walked away, heading towards your next class
you sat in class that day, wondering how to tease him more
clearly, just words wouldnt make him irritated
gurl why you doing this
and you were stumped until you saw a red-haired looking guy accompanied by a gray-haired looking guy coming up to you
ofc you recognized them from the volley team since you’ve,,,,,,maybe seen a few practices
you thought theyd just pass by but they stopped in front of you and you looked up w wide eyes
‘can,,,, i help you?’
‘wow shes cute!’
the red head shouted and you shrunk under the gazes of these tall men
‘sorry about him. im semi eita, second year’
you shook his hand and you introduced yourself before soon finding out this other guy was tendo satori
‘so what do you need me for?’
‘you see, we’re kinda in need of a manager. and i think its better to have a manager who is close to a player in the team. i apologize to say this but i saw you and shirabu-san by the lockers the other day and i think its best to have his girlfriend as our manager’
‘g-girlfriend?!’
you shrieked, shocked that they thought you were
at this mention, you got a flashback from the festival and you soon turned bright red at the label of you being kenjiro’s girlfriend
‘and youre so cute y/n-chan! i can see what our darling kouhai sees in you!’
‘no, you got it all wrong its-’
then you stopped
omg this was the perfect opportunity
no gurl stop jesus take the wheel
shirabu would hate it if you were a manager bc that would give you more room to tease him
holy
then you smiled
‘i accept, senpais. i want to see my baby in action after all’
they were ecstatic since it was a hassle to find a manager who wasnt infatuated w ushijima
you exchanged contacts and soon, you were brought to meet the team
oh boy when kenjiro saw you at the door, he dropped the ball on his head
what in the hell were you doing here
‘guys, this is our new manager!’
you peeked out from tendo and waved at them
‘hello, my name is l/n y/n, first year. and im glad to be your manager’
noticing shirabu’s shocked form, tendo and semi shared a look and interpreted as, hes so happy that his senpais chose his girlfriend for him so now he could show off and play better and that could hopefully turn his attitude to be more grateful and respectful rather than this dismissive and disrespectful behavior
but shirabu was dying inside
oh god, youre totally going to tease him during practice and hes not going to be at his best and hes not going to be able to prove himself to ushijima
‘oi! shirabu-kun! come be grateful to your senpais for letting your darling girlfriend as our manager!’
‘hey baby!’
omg, what
again, you have a loud and expressive personality so you were kinda shameless so you just ran up and hugged him
aaaaa this is so embarassing wth
‘didnt you miss me? oh, youre so cute!’
god, he knows youre only here to spite him
right on point, good sir
ugh you were practically teasing him as the manager and you were having so much fun making him all flustered
but he was also spiteful 
sometimes, he would stick his foot out whenever youd run towards a player and hed laugh at you embarassing yourself in front of them
youd return the favor by accidentally throwing his water bottle at his face
‘oh, gomen, ken-chan’
the entire time, the team was baffled to see the usual stoic and dismissive shirabu so freely laughing and actually teasing you
they think its just for good fun and not the aim of hurting each other since yall are dating and youre just flirting
combined w being academic rivals and now rivals during the team, you both were unintentionally becoming close again
the brutality was slowly simmering to a low heat
and turn the over on at 350 degrees
now, it was just to make each other flustered
the crush that you thought was gone, was slowly digging itself out like the zombies in plants vs zombies
and my god you were annoyed
from now on, you were nothing but rivals and a parasite on his side
him feeling the same
dating would cause too much and the hurtful words would eventually come back up and you concluded that you were just too different
you didnt conclude shit
one time, the team was walking from practice to a nearby convenience store to pick up food
ofc you were picking out a billion foods and you just shoved them all to his arms
‘my darling boyfriend would pay for it because he loves me. ya know what they say, make his pockets hurt’
he glared at you 
‘as far as i remember, i wasnt dating a pig’
ngl, that hurt a little bc hes calling you a fattie
but he still went up to pay for it and you intentionally bumped him with your hips to annoy him but it caused him to drop his wallet to fall
and out came his money and that picture
the picture from nearly 3 years ago
you bent down to pick it up before he could even move 
god, yall were so happy and young back then
it was awkward silent since you didnt give it back and yall walked out of the store and the team was sensing the weird vibe around you two
‘oi, what happened? its so tense!’
‘did you fight?’
‘did you get caught making out by the aisles?’
‘ong shut up, kai!’
yall kai is a third year senpai that i completely made up since we dont get insight on the senpais before ushijima
but the team noticed the weird aura around you two and decided to walk away to give yall some space
‘can-will you hand it over now?’
shirabu mumbled
you nodded and pushed it in his hands
‘why,,,, why do you still have it?’
‘you gave it to me. of course id still have it’
you were silent before coughing
‘can we talk?’
‘its about time we do’
yall walked away from the team towards your home but were taking weird turns and corners to prolong the walk
you looked up to see him and you laughed
‘this is ridiculous. its not fair’
‘what are you talking about?’
he whispered
‘i was so angry at you for saying that you dont need me and that you could easily find someone better because i knew that and i didnt like it. but i was so hurt that it came from your mouth. out of everyone, i would rather die than hear you say that to me. i think thats why ive been like this. i dont know, im being stupid. i was being stupid.’
he stopped walking and clenched his fist while glaring at the ground
‘you told me you were going to leave me. you were telling me that you wouldnt be friends with me anymore. i had to choose between you or volleyball and i wasnt at the right state of mind at that time so i chose incorrectly’
you noticed him not beside you anymore so you went behind him to rest your forehead on his back so he would see you since he preferred to be honest while not looking at you
‘ken-chan, we messed up big time, didnt we?’
his body shook as he laughed
‘i guess we did’
‘it was only over a game. i was so mean and dramatic and ive called you names and said bad stuff about you and im sorry’
‘im not innocent either. i said those words to you and im sorry’
despite slightly making up now, you both knew those feelings would have to wait because you were only getting each other back
‘can we start over, ken-chan?’
‘you want to?’
‘yes’
‘then we will’
omg the whiplash this is giving me
so yall are finally becoming friends and your families are relieved yall made up again bc wowza those dinners were torturous
‘now that they made up, we can go back to planning their wedding’
‘MOM NO!’
slowly but surely, everything has been going steady and your friendship was getting better
but you didnt admit to the club about everything bc again, shirabu was like, ‘i dont feel like explaining everything’
you both still kept a rivalry but it was friendly this time with cute wagers like treat me to milk bread or banana milk
tOOrU oIKaWA’s fAvoRiTE fOod iS MiLK bREaD
he came over often and studied w you and yall would end up actually just watching a movie or watching brain games, unconsciously cuddled up on the couch
however,
this new closeness was doing damage to your heart bc you were again reminded of how much you liked this boy
initially, you thought it would just go away and never be seen again but it said
sIKe biH!
every time you saw him, youd unconsciously sweep away a stray hair and fix it to his weird crooked style
but whenever you do that, shirabu would get a close view of your face and omg you were freaking beautiful
and thats saying something from a guy who saw you through your awkward phase
hes unconsciously touching you more and showing more affection, even more than when yall were young
just being w you was emotionally exhausting as he holds himself back from doing drastic things but he was over it
he was done with all the years of pining for you so finally found the balls to do something about it
you were over at his place to study for exams and he was coming back up with juice
you were slumped over your calculus textbook with your hair in a bun and glasses on wearing his clothes
god theyre practically dating already
‘ken-chan, come help me with this’
he nods and goes to sit behind you
with his tall height, he was able to look over your shoulder and place his chin on it and tbh, you were so frustrated w the problem you didnt care about the closeness
‘you misplaced a decimal so everything got all wrong’
he mumbled
you gasped and made a noise of agreement before changing your answer
he didnt move though, instead wrapping his arms around yourwaist
‘oi, n/n’
‘hm’
this is a familiar scene
‘wanna go to the market tomorrow?’
at the mention of the market you stopped and leaned back
oh god your heart leapt at the feeling of his chest behind you but you composed quickly
‘should we?’
you turned to gauge his reaction at your closeness but he gently smiled
‘yea’
‘okay’
you havent been back to the market together since that day and it was so nostalgic as you both did the things you did back then
from the takoyaki to the stalls
it was so fun
but your heart was beating so fast
his smiling face and thoroughly enjoyed face was doing palpations in your heart
you looked away to stop staring at him and found the photo booth
‘look, ken-chan! the photo booth!’
he chuckled at the thought
‘should we go get another one?’
‘yes! come on!’
you quickly inserted the money and shirabu had flashbacks
but this time it was going to be different
‘okay lets start!’
the first picture, it was a peace sign
the second one was a wacky one
but the next one, was different
‘oi y/n’
‘what?’
the shutter went off just in time of him kissing you
the bright light caused you to close your eyes and you soon forgot what was happening
all you knew you were kissing ken-chan
your best friend
turned enemy
turned friend again
and now,,, were you lovers?
this rollercoaster is quite loopy
he pulled away and rested his forehead against yours
‘im sorry if-’
‘no balls, do it again’
and this time you lunged back for another
and again, this time, not only did you give him another photo, but you also gave him your heart
la fin.
yall what did i just write

Got tagged by @azulasnailtech, originally by @sapphiirose.
I removed “it exists” bc i wanted to simplify, and tried to keep it to pairings i actually have opinions about. There’s a lot more that I don’t mind or even enjoy, but this thing gets cluttered fast xD
Also I added Teo mainly bc i am tagging @unacaritafeliz and we are both Sokkateo trash. Also tagging @gaylord-zuko if u haven’t done it yet, @chiptrillino if you want, and @lovelyelbowleech :)
More on my choices under the cut!
Zukki is my otp for this fandom, surprising no-one %) I also love them in any combination of romantic/platonic, and with a bunch more ppl in the polycule, too.
Sokkateo is entirely Rae’s fault and she’s proud of it. Jock/nerds otp they’re great. And here again any poly extrapolations on that is just icing on the cake uwu
Jetka is just an extremely fun pairing for antagonistic, I want to punch you/I want to kiss you kind of vibe. Also one sided Jetka? chef’s kiss. My fucked up pairing of choice.
Mailee/Maileeki (is that the ship name..? w/e) is cute and cool but I wish there were more gritty content for them. I’m not much one for soft pining sapphics? I want some Mailee at the boiling rock being awful at feelings and absolutely ride-or-die, looking after each other, kicking ass and suppressing trauma. I want more whump for them!
Tophki is just great. Kick ass ladies kicking ass.
Yuela (I’m just making up ship names at this point huh) is SO fun when done right? Lots of amazing arranged marriage tropes potential.
Zutara is the only ship so far that I’d put down as notp %) it just- really does not appeal to me, to the point where i will try to avoid the content (rather than just shrug and scroll past). Not my cuppa.
I should’ve added Yuetara though that’s also a fun one

Caroline this is an excuse to ramble about any one of your oc ships you’d like to mainly bc I am obsessed with all of them and I’d love to hear more ❤️❤️❤️ hope you have a lovely evening-frost
ps I love my tag 💙💙
AAAAAAAH thank you frost that makes me so happyyyyy uh oh god which pairing should i ramble about today...but okay, maybe i'll ramble about knew you tried to change the ending, which is composed of anxiety gay and spoiled brat (affectionate).
they're just...very much the snobby, aloof princess with the kind but also very anxious (hence, anxiety gay) adviser. they have one hell of an arc spanned out over five books--starting off as "who the hell are you" and "i don't need an adviser" to "ugh, okay, you're my friend i guess" to "oh no i think i caught feelings but we're going to IGNORE THEM" to "oh my god now we're on opposite sides and you've tried to kill me a few times and now i'm realizing i'm really in love with you and i hate everything" to "everyone keeps telling me i have to kill you to save the world but i also...don't think i can do that" to "we'll make our own fate as we go along" and i'm...hm. okay. many feelings.
and oh god not me dropping a snippet, but here, a snippet under the cut for some maximum pining:
Seok looked at Rosalind. “Did you know,” he said after a while, “your tutors could never figure whether you were telling the truth or not. Nor could the other members of the court.”
“Well, that’s wonderful,” Rosalind said, flicking a pebble into the pond. It dropped with a quiet splash. “I’ll be glad to know that deception is one of my best skills.”
“But I could always tell,” Seok finished. “Like the time you said that you completed your readings…”
“I was almost done,” Rosalind said.
“Or the time you stole Lord Kim’s pet tortoise…”
“Lord Kim would make a terrible tortoise keeper.”
“Or like now,” Seok said, resting his arms against the railing. He looked at Rosalind. “My point, princess, is that I know when you are lying—and I know that you are lying when you say that you do not care for your advisor—and yes, even in that way.”
Rosalind paused. She turned the next pebble over between her hands. “It would be improper,” she said after a while. She dropped the pebble into the pond. “She is a friend.”
“A friend who you wish not to see dancing with Maerie.”
“Maerie is—” Rosalind stopped short, huffed out a short breath. “Maerie is too kind.”
“And Dae does not deserve a kind companion?”
“No—I mean,” Rosalind pushed herself away from the railing. “Just speak plainly.”
“You care for her.”
Rosalind looked to the dance pavilion. She found Dae easily—too easily, with her silvery robes and her equally silvery laugh. She hadn’t heard Dae laugh in a while. Not like that, and certainly not directed at her.
“It’s nothing,” she said at last.
“It doesn’t seem like nothing,” Seok said.
“Then I suppose you’re just perceiving things incorrectly,” Rosalind said. She turned around to Seok. “I have it handled.”
Seok’s lips twitched into a sad smile. “You may find that handling these kinds of matters are more complicated than they seem.”
“Luckily for me,” Rosalind said, turning back around to the dance pavilion, “being complicated just so happens to be my specialty.”

khun modern bf headcanons?
Hmm oof i am probably not the best person to be asking this cause I dont write fics or anything but I’ll do my best
So i realized that i just wrote plot stuff but im posting anyway cause i spent way too long on this ahaha 
apologies in advance for typos that I'm too lazy to go through and correct
Enjoy the headcanons that i wrote later + plots that i originally wrote and went on a long tangent on oops
Headcanons:
Khun would be that subtle overprotective boyfriend 
He’d just kinda silently watch from afar but he’d totally kill anybody who hurt bam in any way, shape, or form
But he’d like be SUPER sweet with bam like
Pet names yall PET NAMES like khun and bam would prob both mutually melt when they call each other pet names
Khun would always help bam with hw and whatnot, let’s pretend bam’s a physics genius cause thats just how i imagine him in modern life, always has trouble with law class (he’s  taking it just for khun so he can understand what khun’s talking about) so khun helps him
Khun would be a super smooth talker, can woo a n y b o d y, exceptional at speeches, captain of speech and debate team
Khun would never admit he’s jealous but like the whole gang would know (except for bam who’s clueless as usual) 
Like bam is friendly with everybody so khun’d just be like ugh screw yall 
But then bam always confides in him and spends a crapload amt of time with him so he knows he’s just doubting himself and he’s mad at himself about it cause he knows bam is loyal to a fault and would never betray him
When bam gets older bam uses this against him hehe
Khun would also be that bf that everyones jealous of 
Everyone would want to be with khun but he only has eyes for bam
Ignores everybody else who hits on him
Side note i still stan top!bam and bottom!khun 
Khun would also be super thoughtful and goes out of his way to help make bam’s life easier whether its doing chores or smth etc, and each time bam smiles at him and expresses his gratitude khun’s heart would melt for the 1000th time
But like secretly khun really likes confident and sexy bam
They’d probably roleplay ngl (let ur imagination wonder~)
Khun would enjoy just spending time with bam :’) just cuddling and doing mundane things, they’d be super adorable together, hugs and kisses and ah just too cute-
Khun secretly likes bdsm and bam knows this 😏they switch roles from time to time, i cant decide who’s sub/dom
Khun would plan a super elaborate proposal to bam but then somehow bam would catch him off guard and then khun would just blurt it out when they’re together <3
Khun’d always be up early to cook for bam, they both morning ppl tho khun’s always sleep deprived bc hes also a night owl 
Khun is shy with pda in public but eventually he and bam decide they dont care anymore and just hold hands and act all lovey dovey to the point where shibisu cant decide if he’s a proud dad or if he wants to throw up, rak is always proud of his turtles, endorsi and hatz literally want to throw up all the time and would die before admitting that they secretly approve of khunbam
Khun is all around a model bf that i am sure half the fandom would be willing to date but im sorry guys khun’s taken cause he’s only got eyes for bam~
Plot things/idk what they’re called:
CEO!khun and intern!bam
Assassin!khun and assassin!bam who eventually get together and destroy the corrupt system
Gdi i thought of so many while having dinner but i forgot
Hmmmm
Imagine bam as jue viole grace like forced to work in a gang or smth and then khun as the gang boss 
I totally dont have a thing for badass assassin themed things pls dont judge me
Teacher!khun and student!bam (ofc it’d be near graduation if u get my drift...😏)
Idk why i thought of this but imagine idol khun o.o wait YO idol khun + assistant bam
Tutor!khun and student!bam 
I feel like im literally just saying the same ideas
Theres a reason why im not a fic writer :’)
High school sweethearts -> angst bc parents dont approve, sad forced breakup, no contact -> get back together when older after a time-lapse when they’re more mature, heated reunion 
Best friends bam and khun since preschool, since they were in the womb, PINING, both of them scared to admit it cause they dont want to ruin their friendship, meanwhile the entire gang is betting on them getting together (aka mainly rak and shibisu betting, hatz, endorsi, anaak, (insert s2 and s3 gang dont wanna spoil) everybody etc)
Uni students with khun as a law major and bam as a cs major (both geniuses, nerd bam), roommates *insert smirk* lots of pining, blushes from them casually changing in front of each other...the rest is up to ur imagination
Khun and bam as rival sports teams coaches 
Age gap!khunbam (not a lot, somewhere between 5-8 yrs), with bam as the younger one who kept saying that he loves khun but khun just laughs it off bc bams a kid but then khun sees bam after he comes back from college and bam gets a massive glowup from clueless cinnamon roll to clueless cinnamon roll hottie who only has the hots for khun (still) and then khuns all like “fuck” *dies inside*
Single dad khun, bam as a daycare employee who keeps getting flustered by khun, khun takes interest in bam bc he doesn’t ask nosy questions like other ppl, and bam has these mesmerizing golden eyes
Tailor/dry cleaner owner!bam and office worker!khun who constantly needs his clothes to be altered so they fit exactly how he wants them to (this eventually results in awkward moments and blushing), and also dry cleans like his countless number of suits and dress shirts and whatnot
Author!khun and publishing assistant!bam (is it even called publishing assistant honestly i have no idea but u get what i mean right), khun never signs books but bam convinces him to 
Poet!khun and uni student!bam as a literature major who’s a big fan and wanted to meet khun at one of his signings but is too shy even though shibisu drags him there, accidentally bumps into khun in the bathroom, is all flustered, ends up talking to khun for super long, khun loves bam’s enthusiasm for the subject, offers to give feedback on bam’s poems, bam is literally about to combust, they have lots of meetings and khun flirts with bam who’s clueless but blushes a lot anyway, they kiss *ahem* the rest is history

『 Akaashi Keiji Relationship Headcanons 』
Request: Hi!! I saw that you were interested in writing for Haikyuu, if you're already accepting requests could you please write some Akaashi relationship hcs? If you aren't accepting requests yet then you can just ignore this ask. ❤️🧡(Anon)
A/N: Alternative Title: Where I reveal how much of a hoe I am for Akaashi 
Seriously, I love this precious boy so freaking much, he could literally shoot me in the foot and I would thank god for the interaction. 
Thank you for requesting, Nonnie~ I see that you too are a person with good tastes. I hope you enjoy this!! 💕
Tumblr media
Akaashi is honestly the best boyfriend ever pfft what? im definitely not biased bc he's my favorite character, why would you say that?
He's an ultimate gentleman, he will automatically open doors for you, carry your things, walk you home, etc. etc.
Akaashi is very good at staying calm and keeping his emotions in check but you're one of the few things that can really make him lose his composure
You can easily make him extremely flustered and embarrassed, he will crumble into a red, blushy mess, it's so adorable ugh
Whenever he gets embarrassed he turns so red and he tries to cover his face with hands, there's a lot of half-hearted "I hate you"s and "Shut up"s
Bokuto was so shocked when he first saw Akaashi blush around you, it was before you two started dating and when you two were still pining for each other, there was a lot of yelling and screaming
Speaking of Bokuto, get ready for him to waltz into your life because wherever Akaashi is he is
Akaashi was a bit nervous to introduce you to his rowdy best friend, he was worried he would scare you away but you quickly became close friends, you weren't surprised by the white-haired man's behavior, Akaashi has told you a lot about him
Bokuto isn't the only thing Akaashi talks about, he doesn't really notice it but he talks about you a lot
It was this and the blushing that made Bokuto realize his friend's feelings for you
You should probably thank him, he was the one that encouraged and pushed Akaashi to confess to you
Don't expect Akaashi to be smooth, he is as smooth as sandpaper
He tries to say mushy, sappy lines like "I love you to the moon and back!" or "I would give you all the stars in the sky if I could!" but he just finds them so embarrassing and can't bring himself to spit them out
When he does manage to spit something out they usually come out as an awkward version of what he intended to say
"You're so beautiful." Comes out as "You-your face is great."
Cue embarrassed Akaashi
He can't force himself to say these things but they'll usually come out naturally without him needing to force or ready himself
He gets cold easily, you have to protect him from the harsh winters or he will freeze
His bed is filled with a billion fluffy pillows and thick warm blankets, it makes him feel protected when sleeping though he definitely prefers it when you're there with him
We all know this boi has a habit of playing with his fingers, he usually plays with your hands too, while you two are cuddling or watching a movie his hands are usually fiddling with yours
Speaking of cuddling!! He loves it, he cannot get enough of it, most of your time will usually be spent around his arms but you're definitely not complaining
He's a really good listener, you can tell him anything and everything, he loves listening to you talk even if it's about something ridiculous
He's not a very touchy person unless he's very very comfortable with you, once he is though he'll always be touching in some way you whether it be intentionally or subconsciously
He's a very observant person even outside of the court, he notices your little quirks, habits, and cues
He'll always be the first to know if your upset or feeling down and will immediately drop everything and come to your side
Don't tell anyone but he's very very ticklish, while cuddling you accidentally pressed onto his sides and he was reduced a squirming giggly mess istg i love him so much
Bokuto. Can. Never. Know.
Akaashi will never force you to come to his matches but you always make an effort to come whenever you can, he always feels so much better when he knows your watching from up at the stands cheering him on
His photo gallery on his phone mainly consists of photos of you, he thinks you're the prettiest thing ever even tho he is and he always wants to capture every moment
He's a little dork and keeps a box under his bed with little keepsakes from your dates and times you're together like movie tickets, notes, and photos
He likes looking at these things whenever he misses you
A lot of girls get jealous of you once word got out that you two were dating, Akaashi was definitely popular with the ladies I mean just look at him
Once you two get farther into the relationship and once Akaashi gets really comfortable with you he'll be more relaxed with you and won't feel the need to conceal his emotions and thoughts
He'd smile and laugh more around you and you get to see more of his cheeky side
His laugh is the most melodic thing in the world, you would set it as your ringtone if he'd let you
You two have a lot of inside jokes and he always brings them up in the most random moments 
He's not that into pda, he will submit to handholding and small pecks and kisses because he can't help himself
He's really calming maybe it's because of all the time he's spent with Bokuto but he always has a way of making you feel better and relaxed, he always knows the right things to say or do
This boi is a good student so expect a lot of study dates
Akaashi tends to focus on one thing for an extended period of time and this usually leads to him overworking himself all the time so you usually have to remind him to take a break and relax
He's a really organized person, his room and bag are always in impeccable shape and if you're a disorganized person expect a lot of Akaashi just organizing your things when you're not looking he loves you but it bothers him okay?
He's afraid of spiders, he won't scream or anything when he sees one but he will immediately vacate the room where the eight-legged monstrosity was sighted, you usually have to kill the thing for him unless you're scared of spiders too which means you're both screwed
He's a mom friend, we all know this, he will always make sure you're eating right, he always has a pack of tissues or wet wipes in his bag and he will nag
There will be a lot of forehead kisses, he just loves it so much, he finds it so intimate and soft
Ugh, I just love this dork so much okay? He is the best boyfriend you could ever ask for and he deserves the world

Tony Stark Has Many Problems
“Ah, my friends!" Thor booms, and it's a strangely-familiar sound amid the slick noises emanating from Loki's (very pert) bottom. "My brother and I could hear your lovers' quarrel from our positions here. Would you care to join us?"
Tony and Steve have been dating for a while, but one little problem - they haven't had sex. It's making Tony very frustrated - he's never been this sexually inactive in his life - frustrated enough to take his anger out on Steve. Unfortunately (or fortunately) for them, Thor and Loki, recently reconciled and newly intimate, are more than happy to share their expertise with Steve and Tony.
Rating: Explicit
Relationships: Steve/Tony, Thor/Loki (but mainly steve/tony centric)

Tony Stark has many problems.
Dum-E's gotten smart enough to figure out how to brew a cup of coffee, but not smart enough to realise that bringing a hot, steaming cup of coffee to Tony's worktable when he's holding a blowtorch, and spilling said cup of coffee all over Tony's lap, isn't usually the way coffee is served. Clint needs new arrows but this time he wants arrows that play Taylor Swift music when they explode - God only knows why - and Tony is having a really hard time trying to pick a song of hers that doesn't make him puke at the first teeny-boppy chord. Loki has recently taken up residence in his tower - his tower, goddammnit! - and hasn't caused any mischief in the past two days; in fact, he's even helped Tony out of a sticky situation on the battlefield, and things are getting so unreal right now, and oh, Pepper isn't answering his calls because he forgot to vet her speech for the Stark Industries annual ball even though she sent him twenty emails to remind him about her speech, and he really needs chocolate but Thor ate the last Kit-Kat yesterday, and Jarvis - that asshole - conveniently forgets to add chocolate to his grocery list, there's nothing wrong with his weight, goddamnit -
Oh, right, where was he?
Tony Stark has many problems, yes, but his new relationship with Steve isn't one of them. The fact that he's actually started dating the star-spangled, pinnacle-of-human-achievement, Spandex-wearing Captain America hadn't quite sunk in until after Steve had asked him out to lunch at the new diner down the road, and he'd looked down and seen that little burn mark on Steve's thumb, and felt a warm sensation flare in his chest. Because Steve'd told everyone he'd gotten it from fighting the Doombots that morning, but Tony alone knew he'd really gotten it from accidentally sticking his hand in the microwave when it hadn't been switched on. The memory had reminded him that, behind the facade of stoic patriotism and stern-faced Mama-bearism that Steve Rogers wears, he really is just Steve , a dork of the highest degree, who still thinks Jarvis is an actual human being hiding somewhere on one of the ninety-three floors of Stark Tower.
So yes, Tony can hardly believe that Steve is his, really his. It still has somewhat of a dreamlike quality about it, him and his childhood idol, holding hands on a picnic mat under the stars, watching Pretty Woman on Netflix while Steve respectfully gushes about how beautiful Julia Roberts is, kissing desperately in Steve's room while Clint and Thor play Mario Kart in the living room next door -
Okay, maybe there is one teeny-tiny, miniscule, quark-sized problem. And the problem is that Steve is absolutely not down for anything involving him, Tony, a bed and possibly fruit-flavoured condoms (well, a man can always dream). Sure, they'd kissed a couple of times, and maybe even engaged in some heavy petting where Tony had gotten to touch one marvellously-shaped pec before Steve had broken off stammering and red-faced, unable to look him in the eye and sporting an impressive bulge that had Tony drooling. But of course, Tony is all about respect - how proud Pepper would be of him now, if she'd only answer his calls - and he'd mournfully backed off every time Steve had called the festivities to a halt and gone off to spend a suspiciously long time in the bathroom.
Tony thinks sadly of the steamy dream he'd had last night - Steve on his lap, hands down each others' pants, and stroking each other to completion. If his younger self were here now, he'd be laughing his head off at how fucking tame Tony has become. Fifty Shades of Grey has nothing on his college days, but now he's with Steve, quite possibly the love of his life, and even the thought of a quick handjob between the sheets is arousing as hell to Tony.
Tony thinks the problem between them's because Steve's still a virgin. Hell, he knows it's because Steve's a virgin - no girl had wanted to put their hands on the skinny, asthmatic twig that had been Steven Rogers in the good ole pre-world war days, and once he'd become the gold standard for male attractiveness, being a war hero and propaganda tool hadn't exactly left much time for him to indulge. And now, in this new world where sex isn't as big a taboo as it used to be and with everyone speaking practically a foreign language, it's made Steve even more wary of carnal relations.
Yeah, Tony understands, and he's heartbroken for Steve, really he is, thinking about all the times someone'd rejected him just because they could curl their whole hand around his wrist and have their fingers meet, and about how Steve sometimes comes back after a solo jaunt about Brooklyn and just needs to lie down in Tony's lap for a while.
Unfortunately, he's also suffering from the worst case of blue balls in the entire American history. No, scratch that, the entire history of humankind, and animalkind, the entire history of the universe . Hell, he'd gone out and seen a pair of squirrels in flagrante delicto on a nearby tree branch, and he'd been so frustrated he'd pulled on his suit and taken out a whole fleet of robots in the training room.
The two sides of him - the one that's all sappy and pussywhipped and wants to worship and adore the very ground Steve walks on, versus the side making him make a bonfire out of all the Avengers' porn mags (except Natasha, because he actually values his life, despite what everyone says, and he doesn't even know if she has porn mags. Do girls read porn?) - are in huge conflict, and it's driving him crazy. Crazy enough that he's taken to avoiding spars with Steve, because if he has to endure one more chokehold with Steve's very hard, very manly body pressed against the entirety of his back, he will possibly fly to Latveria himself and offer himself as a sacrifice to Doom. Which is not a very welcoming thought, and Tony is sorry he even thought about it.
And of course avoiding Steve never works, because they know each other so well. Instead, Steve has started following him around Stark Tower and hiding outside his workshop to give him heart attacks at one am, with his goddamn baby blue puppy eyes. He doesn't even need to say anything, and already Tony feels guilty.
That's why Steve manages to corner him when he's dragged himself out of his workshop at - surprise! - a perfectly respectable hour to scrounge up some dinner, holding a plate of mac and cheese and touching Tony’s bicep with a gentle enough touch that makes Tony want to scream.
"Tony?" he says, and his eyes are very blue. "Can I talk to you?"
Tony knows he's lost the moment Steve opens his mouth, but he feels the telltale itch in his left ball - the one he gets when he hasn't experienced a release in many days - and suddenly he's resigned to the conversation that will follow. He sighs, and grabs the plate from Steve. At least he won't be hungry later during the inevitable argument, he tells himself, sadly.
He keeps walking to the kitchen anyway, hoping to get a cup of coffee, and slowing down to keep Steve at his side as a concession. Steve looks at him, his eyes crinkling, and oh no, that's not a good crinkle, it's a bad crinkle, and it usually means he's sad about something, and this time it isn't Tony's left ball that twinges, it's somewhere in his chest.
"Tony, you've been avoiding me," Steve says, directly, without preamble, because that's just the kind of guy he is. "At first I thought you were injured, y'know, because you only avoided me when we were supposed to spar, but then I realised you're not doing the same for Clint and Thor and Natasha and uh, I just wanted to ask..." He trails off, and Tony stops. He feels his heart in his mouth (and the macaroni too, but that's a different matter altogether) as he looks into Steve's eyes, and sees them bad-crinkle even further.
"Is something wrong?" Steve finally asks, and holy shit, he must've just bathed, because there's a strand of blond hair so dark it looks almost brown, escaped from his perfectly groomed fringe, and hanging over his eyes. It's adorable, and yep, Tony is totally whipped, because he automatically lifts a hand to brush it away, and immediately Steve's expression softens.
But he's still waiting for an answer.
Tony sighs. Best to get it over with, then. He fidgets with the spoon and can't meet Steve's eyes as he says, "Well, it's not something wrong , per se... Just, y'know, I'm just feeling a little... a little sick. Yeah, that's right. Feeling a little... under the weather. I think it was something Dum-E gave me, that salad he served me the other day didn't look very fresh..."
God, he's such a chicken, and when did he become such a bad liar, because Steve looks totally unconvinced. He steps closer and lays a hand on Tony's forehead instead, and that was such a bad idea, he should've said he'd gotten food poisoning instead, because now he can smell Steve's scent, the smell of fresh pine trees from his deodorant and underneath, that musky smell that is, uniquely, Steve's. Hasn't he read somewhere that if you liked a person's smell, you were compatible, because you had the same kind of olfactory receptors, or something? He tries not to think about it, and focus instead on not spontaneously combusting or ejaculating in his pants or something equally embarrassing.
Thankfully, Steve steps away after a harrowing few seconds, frowning. "You don't feel like you have a temperature, though," he murmurs, and there's so much concern in his voice that, suddenly, Tony feels irrationally annoyed. He's being such a mother hen, God , and usually Tony finds it adorable, but this time he's in a mood, a sexually-deprived, pissed-off mood, and he just wants to hole himself up in his room with twenty boxes of tissues and his Cockyboys lifetime subscription. And meanwhile he has this actual hunk of man-meat all to himself, but he can't touch him - the gods are truly evil. Tony wonders if switching to Norse pagan faith would give him better luck, seeing as how he's currently housing two deities of said faith under his roof, at great personal and financial cost.
His patience finally snaps when Steve produces a thermometer out of absolutely nowhere , and tries to stick it in his mouth. Angrily, he pushes him away, and tries to make excuses for running up to his room, but Steve is having none of it, and really Tony can't be blamed for finally yelling: "I'M ANGRY BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD SEX, OKAY?? Now will you stop bothering me and let me go upstairs so I can jerk off over the one porn mag I have left?"
It's almost worth it for the comical expression of shock on Steve's face, his plump, beautiful lips in a perfect 'o', the one strand of hair once again escaping his fringe to hang over his eyes. Then of course his mouth snaps shut and pinches into an unhappy line, his eyes bad-crinkle even further, and Tony wants to hit himself. God, he's the worst person ever , isn't he? Yelling at Steve when all he'd been trying to do was make sure Tony's okay, taking out his frustration on Steve and bringing up the one thing he knows will hit his boyfriend the hardest. A low blow it was, and Tony immediately regrets ever opening his mouth. This is why people aren't supposed to talk to him when he hasn't had his caffeine, dammit!
He grabs Steve's biceps and, for the first time, doesn't focus on how they feel like the goddamn rock of Gibraltar under this hands. "Look, I didn't mean that," he babbles, frantically trying to erase the past few minutes. If he doesn't remember it, it means it doesn't exist, right? "I just meant, uh, I've been really tired recently and I haven't been able to -"
"To indulge yourself?" Steve interrupts him, and his voice is strangely steady. In surprise, Tony lets go of his biceps, and, finding nothing to do with his hands, lets them fall limply to his sides. Steve is staring down at the ground now, his face expressionless, but Tony knows him - he knows he's thinking.
"I'm just... I'm just afraid," he finally whispers, so soft that Tony hardly hears it.
"Sorry?" Tony says. He can't believe his ears.
Steve finally looks up, and his eyes are burning with anger and frustration and hell, is it inappropriate for Tony to be having an erection right now? Because his dick has taken the train to Bonerland and it sure as hell didn't buy a return ticket. Just imagining that intensity focused on him, in the throes of passion, Steve's strong hands pinning him down as he pounds his ass to high heaven -
"I said, I'm just afraid of sex! With you!" Steve says, and it hits Tony that he's yelling, his face blotchy with anger and his fists balled at his side. "It's easy for you, isn't it, you've done it a thousand times, how could I possibly compare? The farthest I've ever gotten is kissing - with you , I might add - and I'm just a virgin with hardly any experience, how would I know anything about how to please you, and after a while you're going to get bored of me because I don't know how to fuck you properly, and then you'll leave me and I'll just - ugh! " Breaking off with the most eloquent, disgusted exhalation of fury Tony has ever heard, Steve turns on his heel and stomps angrily down the hall towards the kitchen.
Tony stands stock still for a few seconds, his mind rapidly whirring through the deluge of words, before it finally clicks and it all falls into place.
Steve's scared , scared of having sex with Tony, because he thinks he's not good enough, with all Tony's experience, never mind that Tony's had sex a thousand times before, sure, but he can count the number of times he's made love on one hand. Steve isn't going to be a nameless fuck to him, Tony knows he's special , and he curses himself as he realises it's his fault for not making absolutely sure Steve knows it too.
He turns and runs down the hall to the kitchen, where Steve has already disappeared behind the door, pushing it open and fully intending on explaining himself to Steve, when the scene before him makes him stand absolutely still again, for the second time in minutes.
Because there's Thor, and there's Loki, and a whole lot of naked skin, and they're fucking against his kitchen counter .
A voice in his brain reminds him that this is hardly sanitary, but he brushes it aside in favour of looking at Steve, who's also standing there in shock, his hand gripping the table as if he can hardly stand upright.
"Ah, my friends!" Thor booms, and it's a strangely-familiar sound amid the slick noises emanating from Loki's (very pert) bottom. "My brother and I could hear your lovers' quarrel from our positions here. Would you care to join us?"
---
Tony can't move his limbs. Although he's seen a good many bodies in his lifetime - and with many of them belonging to the sexiest stars of his generation and the next - there's just something different about watching Thor and Loki going at it. For one, they're brothers - adopted , Loki always insists, but it never seems to make a difference to the way they treat each other - which adds an illicit touch to the whole affair that makes it just that tad bit more arousing. And for another, it's just unfair the way some people seem to get all the luck. Even though Loki's an evil son of a bitch, there's hardly a blemish on his soft skin, and the smooth lines of his back flex as he writhes and undulates sinuously under Thor's body. He's bent over with his hands braced on the counter, neck thrown back, and Thor pauses in his movements to lean forward and issue a sharp bite to the back of his neck that leaves a bright red mark against the pale skin. In response to that, Loki utters a high, unabashed keen that sends a thrill up Tony's spine, and Steve's too, from the way he shudders next to Tony.
You'd think he'd be embarrassed, but no, the smug smile he gives Tony while he glances at him under his lashes, speaks otherwise.
"Ah, yes, the noble - ah! - Captain, and the - uhh , Thor, harder - and the man of iron," he says, the breathless moans punctuating his sentences. "Quite a spate of good weather we've been having - ohh, Thor, don't stop , fuck, right there - don't you think?" and yes, he's an absolutely evil piece of shit, because it's been raining and thundering like an Indian monsoon every single day the past two days since Loki had joined them, and now Tony thinks he knows why.
Thor grips Loki's hips and adjusts him, his cock driving into him in a way that makes Loki squeal and lift his arm to curl around Thor's head and dig into his hair. Tony can now see his cock, and he's really going at it, driving it like a piston into Loki's bottom, and why can't he look away?
Steve has been standing silent and stock-still for the past few moments, but now he rouses himself and lets go of the table. "But - but - you're brothers! " he cries, his eyelashes fluttering, and Tony has to swoon a little at that. What, he's only a man, a very mortal man, with a very aching hard-on in his tight work pants and surely there's no harm no foul if he just slips his hand down to cup himself for a bit -
"Yes, Loki and I are brothers - "
" Adopted - " Loki sighs, like an afterthought, and Thor gives him a particularly athletic thrust as if to shut him up.
" - but that far from diminishes the love we feel for each other!" Thor booms, again - he only has one default way of speaking. "Actually, we have you my shield brothers to thank for helping us rediscover our love for each other. It was only when Loki came to Midgard last week to greet us that we discovered our passion for each other was beyond that of brotherly love. Loki, say thank you," and he slips an arm under Loki's chest and heaves him upright so he's facing the two of them, and Tony can see the blissed-out expression on his face and his very long, pale, slim cock bouncing with every thrust.
"Thank you, " Loki breathes, his eyes half-shut, the words like a prayer, but Tony swears that he's looking straight into Tony's eyes, and there's a little half-smirk lifting the corner of his mouth. Yup, he's definitely the devil. A devil, actually, seeing as how they've met the actual, literal devil - but really, Mephisto isn't the one Tony wants to be thinking about, right now.
Instead, he moves closer to Steve and grips his elbow, right as Steve says, his face a little green: "You mean last week when Loki unlocked all the zoo enclosure gates and let the animals out into Central Park - when you two disappeared halfway through the fight - you mean you were - "
"Yes!" Thor rumbles, an ecstatic smile lighting up his face, and really, it's not like Tony's never noticed that, objectively, Thor is probably the most attractive member of the team. Because nothing can hold a candle to Steve, his Steve, but this is really doing a number on Tony's poor battered underserved libido, all that rippling golden muscle and the way his hand is moving over Loki's skin, pinching at his nipples and leaving pink trails where his nails have cut into the flesh.
"And we couldn't help overhearing your argument from just now - " Loki butts in, one hand now gripping Thor's hand and guiding it up to clamp around his throat in a parody of the intimate touch Thor often exclusively confers on his brother. Now, his voice sounds a little bit choked, and a lot breathier , but still he continues. "And we were wondering if we couldn't offer some, ah, assistance ."
"Assistance?!" Steve says loudly, and yes, he is turning green, but Tony chances a peek downwards, and it appears that even though Steve is uncomfortable with the whole situation, certain... parts of his anatomy... don't seem as uncomfortable.
"Yes! My brother and myself, having recently discovered the wonders of carnal pleasure in each others' bodies, are of course enthusiastic for the rest of our beloved team members to find the same! Especially for such beloved shield brothers as the two of you, Friend Anthony and Steven," Thor exclaims, with a series of vigorous thrusts that make Loki go "oof - oof - oof - Thor, there, fuck - "
Tony finally rouses himself out of his reverie at these words, feeling that he has to at least try to look after Steve - even though the words leave him shivering with unadulterated lust, especially after the deep growl that rumbles through Thor's chest as he drills deep into Loki and holds himself there. He grips Steve's elbow tighter and attempts to smile without letting on how frazzled he is.
"Uh, thanks for the offer, Point Break, but I think we'll figure it out ourselves - " he says, already ready to drag Steve out of the room where they can go and finish their argument, but to his absolute surprise, Steve rips his arm out of Tony's grip and turns to face him. His eyes are burning again, but this time with a determined expression that tells Tony that he's already made up his mind.
"I want to do it, Tony," he says, decisively. "I want to... I want to learn how to pleasure you."
Tony's eyes widen. "I can do that," he offers weakly. "I know you have your insecurities, but really - "
That was totally the wrong thing to say, and Steve's eyes narrow stubbornly. Instead, he turns away from Tony and strides over to Loki and Thor, who have paused in their lovemaking to look at the two of them. Loki has a speculative gleam in his eye that bodes no good, but still, Tony follows Steve helplessly, caught in his orbit. He only just remembers to set down the macaroni plate, with a tremor in his hands that he quickly stills.
"Tell me what to do," Steve says, and the purposeful lilt to his voice makes Tony adjust himself again. God, he's using his Captain America voice , as if he doesn't know that that drives Tony absolutely crazy - except, well, he probably doesn't.
Thor and Loki exchange glances, then Thor places a hand in the small of Loki's back and bends him over. He takes Steve's hand and places it right there , where Thor's fat cock is half thrust in, the rim of Loki's hole is stretched taut around the expanse of Thor's dark, almost-purple cock. It's obscene, and possibly the most arousing thing Tony has ever seen.
"Can you feel that?" Thor whispers, and the reverence in his voice is startling. Steve nods sharply, panting in quick, short breaths, his eyes half-closed as if he's trying to block out what's happening. Almost involuntarily, his fingers gently caress the stretched rim of Loki's hole, where lube is glistening on the wrinkled skin.
Thor presses down on Steve's hand, and Steve gasps as his finger slips in with a wet pop. His bottom lip is caught between his teeth, as he watches Loki's hole clench and ripple around the unexpected intrusion. That same low growl rumbles through Thor's chest again, just when Loki lets out a hiss of shock that ends in a high-pitched whimper.
"That's right," Thor murmurs. "Finger him. Feel him open under you. Get him wet and open and ready to take your cock. If you press there - " Thor's finger slips in and guides Steve to below his cock, where he presses and makes Loki convulse with the stimulation to his prostate. If Tony was a woman, he'd be creaming his pants right now - as it stands, he really needs to wash his boxers already.
For a long moment, there's only the sound of Thor's cock, and the two fingers, squelching around inside Loki's hole, and the pants issuing from Loki's mouth as he swivels his hips in a desperate plea for more stimulation. Then Steve speaks, his voice breathless and rough with lust: "Is that - is that how you start? Is that it?"
Loki bangs his hand against the table in frustration, finally finding his tongue. "Thor, you imbecile, you skipped foreplay," he snaps, bitingly. "Pull out, pull out, show him from the start."
Thor rolls his eyes, clearly used to Loki being a demanding little bitch, and unceremoniously pulls out. Tony isn't sure what's worse, the unabashed fucking of earlier, or seeing Thor's cock flushed and leaking, and the swollen rim of Loki's hole. And is that beard burn around the swell of Loki's buttocks - ?
With his other arm, Thor pulls Loki up again, the other hand on his hip steadying Loki as his legs threaten to give out. He regards Steve thoughtfully for a few minutes, then gestures to Loki's nipples.
"First, you have to arouse him, bring him pleasure so he will writhe and crave your touch," Thor advises, when Steve looks puzzled. "Touch him at his erogenous zones. Stroke him across his neck, his nipples, his belly, the area above his cock, where he likes it the most - but of course Anthony will have his own preferences."
Steve lifts his hand hesitantly and touches Loki's chest gently, right in the centre of his cleavage, his fingers trailing feather-light over the almost-translucent skin. Loki, already on the edge of orgasm and high-strung from Thor's cock, twists and shakes in agitation. He tilts his head, helplessly seeking, his mouth moving and mouthing soundless words. Thor drops his head and answers with a tender kiss, breathing softly across Loki's lips and mouthing absently over his cheekbones.
Although there is the delicious vision of the two gods' cocks dripping below their legs, and the scratches marking the expanse of Loki's chest, Tony cannot tear his eyes away from the sight of Thor and Loki kissing. The movement of Loki's head had seemed so unconscious, without artifice, a desperate wish for contact, and Thor's kiss so tender and intimate that it makes Tony's chest twist. One glance at Steve's face tells him that Steve feels the same, his fingers frozen and unmoving, his eyes full of desire and wanting and trained on Loki's tongue licking at Thor's half-open lips.
A surge of boldness flows through Tony, and he steps closer, next to Steve, and cups one side of Steve's face with his hand. Steve turns to look at him, and although he is much taller than Tony, somehow the warm glow in his eyes makes Tony feel like the greater one. He pulls Steve down and they kiss, lips moving quietly over each other. Steve whispers something against his lips, and the soft caress of his breath across Tony's skin feels unbearably close. Tony pulls away and, with one swift, suddenly-brave movement, pulls his wifebeater over his head and bares his chest to Steve.
Suddenly, he's glad he bathed yesterday.
Steve's fingers settle on his chest, over the blue glow of the reactor. Tony tenses, wondering if perhaps he's made a mistake - if Steve feels repulsion at the inhumane - thing - he's made himself into - but then Steve leans down, and presses his lips to the scarred skin surrounding the reactor. Tony can't feel any sensation from the nerveless skin, but as Steve lifts his head, eyes sparkling, and says "I didn't expect it to be warm - "
Tony pulls him up and lunges for his mouth. Perhaps it's less of a kiss, more of a desperate, sloppy, desire-filled devouring, but Tony feels an unaccountable warmth filling his body, right down to his fingertips and the tips of his toes as Steve keeps his hand steady on his chest, his anchor. He digs his fingers into the soft golden hair at the base of Steve's skull, and strokes frantically through the fine strands, pulling Steve's body flush against his as if by doing so, he could swallow Steve into himself and possess him fully, underneath his skin and in his heart where he's already wormed himself in.
A soft laugh beside them reminds Tony, suddenly, that they have an audience, and simultaneously, he and Steve turn their heads to regard Loki and Thor. There is a new line of bruises along Loki's jawline, outlining the smirk that pulls Loki's mouth to one side.
"Why don't you take his pants off?" he asks, his voice a bored affectation but belying the sharp, keen interest in his eyes, as Thor carelessly kneads the swell of this buttocks between his large hands and watches them, his pupils dilated. "You do know how the basic biology works, don’t you, Captain?"
Steve flushes a bright red, and for a moment Tony panicks and wonders if Loki's words had been too much, perhaps he's scared Steve off with his brazenness and callous words - but then Steve turns back to Tony, and, miracles of miracles, he starts furiously working at Tony's buttons. Tony could almost weep for joy. A little bitter that he hadn't thought to try taunting at first - but maybe it wouldn't have worked, coming from him - Tony's fingers move automatically to his jeans and help Steve. When the jeans finally come off, and Steve yanks them off his legs, he groans involuntarily, his cock springing out, red and throbbing from the pressure of having been confined in his tight-ass jeans.
"What now?" Steve says, defiantly, the flush still high on his cheekbones, and Loki lifts a dainty eyebrow, as though unimpressed by his bravado. He glances over his shoulder at Thor, levelling the same disinterested look at his partner, and Thor smiles lazily, his eyes hooded. With a violent movement, Thor pushes Loki down onto the counter and holds him there with a strong hand at the base of his spine. Loki arches his back and thrashes a bit, but it looks futile, and he's clearly enjoying it, so Tony just rolls his eyes.
Thor reaches down and picks up a bottle of lube from under the counter, and Tony makes a strangled noise, because that's his emergency kitchen lube, and it's mint-flavoured too, and it's half-empty, goddammnit, it hadn't been like that the last time he'd used it , clearly some people have been very, very busy. He squeezes a generous helping onto Steve's outstretched hands, and his own large, thick fingers, and places them on top of Loki's buttocks. Steve mimicks the action, and his fingers are warm against Tony's skin.
"What I showed you before," Thor murmurs, gesturing a rude gesture with two fingers liberally coated in lube, "do it to Friend Anthony. One finger." And with that, he trails his finger down Loki's crack, a soft caress, and probes in slowly. Loki wiggles his bum, clearly impatient, but Thor stills him with a heavy hand on his hip.
Tony watches as Steve's Adam's apple bobs, as he swallows, and he looks down at Tony's hole with such trepidation that Tony feels slightly offended. So he strengthens his hold on Steve's cheek, forces him to look into Tony's eyes.
"Hey," he whispers, "It's alright. It's just me, okay? Little ole Tony Stark. I want you, any way you'll have me. Any way you want. You can take it slow." At his words, Steve's jaw clenches, and he nods, like he's made up his mind. He smears the lube all over his fingers, makes sure they're thoroughly covered, then places his fingers on Tony's hole and pushes.
Tony gasps. It's been such a long time since he'd been penetrated, he'd almost forgotten how painful - and how pleasureable - it could be. It does feel a little clinical, like he's getting a doctor's examination, with the cautious but determined way Steve's spelunking around, but one look at the adorable furrow between Steve's brows, and Tony's unbelieveably turned on, beyond anything he's ever felt before. The simple knowledge that Steve's pushing beyond his boundaries, beyond what he'd initially been comfortable, just for Tony ... the thought makes Tony want to curl up into a ball and squeal like a girl. Except he'd probably take someone's eye out with his dick, which is already hard enough to hammer nails.
"Does it feel good?" Steve breathes. "I'm trying to find the - the prostate - but I can't really, um..."
"It feels good," Tony slurs. He's going out of his mind, but hell, this is possibly the best way to go. He envisions the headlines: CAPTAIN'S COCK CRUSHES CEO. STARK SACRIFICES HIS ASS FOR AMERICA. "A little bit lower, yeah, yeah, lower... uh, not there... ah!" He jerks as Steve brushes his fingers over the spot, sending a warm thrum of liquid pleasure through him and his cock spitting out drops of pre-cum over his stomach as it bobs.
And all the while, Steve keeps relentlessly at it, his touch starting to feel a little less like Tony's last prostate exam - conducted by Bruce, and hadn't it been awkward . Steve's always been a fast learner, even before the serum, from what Tony's heard, and of course now he has the serum coursing through his blood he's practically a genius, because he's found a way of massaging just so in a way that makes Tony utter a very undignified screech, and clutch tight at the base of his cock so he doesn't spill prematurely. Because that would just be the cherry on the cake, wouldn't it.
When he can finally open his eyes, he realises Steve is staring at him with a rapt expression, awe and lust warring in his big baby blues, and Tony fucking blushes , yeah he does, like a goddamn virgin. Because this is turning him on like you wouldn't believe, being despoiled by his hero, being taken apart slowly by Steve , with his hesitant but sure finger pressing at his prostate, and his other hand stroking up and down Tony's side like he needs to keep touching Tony.
"Can I add another?" Steve whispers, his voice tender, and Tony nods, once, tight, not trusting his voice. Steve draws his finger out and presses back in without giving Tony a chance to recover, just the way he likes it. Tony gasps, because now Steve's scissoring, all on his own, and Tony feels almost proud of him, except that he's too busy trying not to die of a heart attack because of Steve's fingers rubbing against his walls and massaging him persistently. Sue him, he's old, and he has a goddamn heart problem. In fact, if he didn't have the arc reactor in, Tony's sure he would have expired of a heart attack ages ago, because now Steve is breathing fast as he looks down at his fingers and Tony's hole tight around them - pained, short, sharp pants of breath as if he's not getting enough oxygen, and it's the most adorable thing ever.
Steve starts moving his fingers in and out, slowly at first, then faster as he gets more sure of himself, fucking Tony on his fingers. And Tony can't help the whimpers coming out of his mouth, because it feels too good, can't help the involuntary swivels of his hips as he tries to grind down on Steve's fingers. But Steve gives a nervous little laugh, and pulls away - Tony thinks he's been scared off, and looks at him, but he sees a hint of a smug smirk around the edges of Steve's mouth, and he can't help it, he laughs a little too, because under the whole goody-two-shoes exterior Steve's actually a little bit of a little shit. And a fucking tease too, apparently.
Tony feels himself loosening, and he knows he's ready. He wants it, wants Steve's cock, so he lifts his foot and strokes one sinful, long stroke over the bulge in Steve's pants. With his toes, he deftly pulls the zipper down and dips inside, caressing the hot flesh within with his foot. Steve's mouth drops open, and his eyes shut, eyelashes sweeping over his cheekbones like a benediction. And hell yes, Tony does feel blessed, thank you very much.
"You going to give it to me, big boy?" Tony breathes. "Gonna give me your big fat cock? Gonna press me down into the sheets and fuck me rough and hard? Can't wait for it. Can't wait to take your cock." And bingo, he'd guessed dirty talk would press Steve's buttons, because Steve is tearing at his button and shoving his jeans down feverishly like he can't wait to get naked. Tony gives a triumphant smile and a mental high-five to himself.
A moan next to his ear reminds him, all of a sudden, that they're not alone. He turns his head and sees Loki's bright green eyes a few centimetres away from him, his pale skin covered in a sheen of sweat, pink tongue darting out to lick at his lips, as Thor fists him vigorously with his hand. Tony cranes his neck to see because, wow, Thor has really big hands, and when he pulls them out Tony can see the slick glisten from the lube, and the way Loki's hole clings to Thor's hands like he's not willing to let go.
Loki lifts a hand and lays it on Tony's cheek, his mouth curling into a mischievous smile. He thumbs at the corner of Tony's mouth, wipes some of his saliva away, and leans closer.
"You and I are much alike, Tony Stark," he purrs, the rich timbre of his voice like silk. "What say you we taunt the boys a bit, hmm?"
Tony's up for anything, he is, and he returns Loki's grin with one of his own. He's not expecting, however, for Loki to grip his chin withh superhuman strength, and yank him into a deep kiss that involves a lot, a lot, a lot of tongue. Loki moans into his mouth, and God, that sounds a lot sexier that it usually does, muffled by his own lips, and Tony gives back as good as he gets, nipping at the corner of Loki's mouth and tangling his tongue with Loki's.
They're ripped apart from each other suddenly, Loki keening a high, unsatisfied keen, and Tony blinking disorientedly. He looks up and sees Thor's hands fisted in Loki's hair, pulling him backwards and forcing his back to curve into a sleek, sinuous arch that pulls his skin taut. Immediately, Thor bends forward and captures Loki's mouth, swallowing his whine in an angry, vicious kiss. Tony can't look away.
Until Steve curls his arms under Tony's buttocks, and lifts him bodily from the kitchen counter.
Tony yelps, and looks at Steve accusingly, a stinging rejoinder ready, but the words die on his lips as he sees the look on Steve's face. His eyes are dark, blown with lust, but more than anything, with possessive anger and intensity that makes Tony shiver uncontrolledly. There's no more shy virgin in Steve now, that's for sure, especially when he wrenches Tony close and presses them together in a full body caress, pressing their lips together in a greedy kiss. He mutters words into Tony's mouth - mine, mine, mine - and Tony answers mindlessly - yours - and he only vaguely registers being carried up the stairs like he weighs nothing more than a feather, and then finally, into Steve's bedroom.
Steve lays him out on the bed and rips off his own shirt, shaking his head as if to clear his thoughts, but it only serves to make him look like a man in a L'Oreal commercial. Really, his looks should be illegal, it's criminally unfair that he looks the way he does, all fair, freckled Irish skin across his shoulders, the deep vee of his hipbones, the dusting of golden hair on his chest and happy trail leading down to Happyland. As he approaches, Tony grips his deltoid wonderingly, feeling how the muscle stretches and flexes under his hungry, questing fingers.
Suddenly, Steve stops, and Tony sees a strange vulnerability in his face.
"Is it the... is it the muscles?" he asks, haltingly. “Is it the muscles that you - ?” And suddenly, Tony remembers - remembers the boy he'd seen in Howard's memorabilia pictures, Steven Grant Rogers before the serum, a scrawny, weak-looking thing - but still effortlessly, ethereally beautiful to Tony, even if everyone'd been too fool to notice at the time. Vehemently, Tony shakes his head, trembling with the strength of his emotion.
"Steve," he says, instead of all the words he wants to say, and that's enough. Steve comes to him, wraps him up in his arms, and slides home. He thrusts deep into Tony, into his core, until Tony can't tell where he ends and where Steve begins. Steve laves kisses over his jaw, his neck, the tender inside of his wrist, until Tony knows he'll have to wear a turtleneck with long sleeves tomorrow. Somehow, the thought excites him, knowing that only he will know the bruises underneath the fabric exist, knowing that he's been marked by Steve, that he's Steve's .
He can feel his climax approaching, almost a distant afterthought, because he's so focussed on the feeling of Steve, around him, inside him. But then Steve grips his cock with a steady hand and starts working him, and Tony tries to hold on, he really does - but he's not released in a long while, and all too quickly it's over. He spurts, long white strands of cum, all over Steve's hand and his abdomen and Tony's own stomach. Steve gasps at the feeling of Tony clenching around him, in the throes of his orgasms, and it's not long before he follows, a mass of hot, sticky fluid filling Tony's insides.
It's the best feeling Tony's had for a long time, all of it. His head's in the clouds, he feels like he's floating on air, and also Steve's cum dripping out of him is possibly the only thing he wants to feel for the rest of his life. He realises Steve feels the same when he feels Steve probing at his poor overstimulated hole, and although he hisses at the sensation, his hips involuntarily jerk towards Steve's fingers.
"Next time," Steve says, distractedly, like he's not even aware of his words, "I'll buy you a plug. So you can keep my cum in you all day, and whenever I look at you, talk to you, kiss you, I'll know you're full of me. Inside you."
Tony sits bolt upright. "You..." he manages, because where did that come from?? But Steve is looking at him now, fondly, that familiar one-sided smirk curving his lips, and really, the thought of being plugged up like that, full to the brim with Steve's cum, and not being able to do anything about it... Well, it turns him on, and his cock gives one valiant twitch. He lies back down.
They lie there in contented silence for a while, Steve humming an unfamiliar tune, and combing his fingers through the sparse curls above Tony's cock. There's so much Tony wants to say, but at the same time, he can't bring himself to say it. Steve looks at him, their eyes meet, and Tony opens his mouth.
"You think they're still going down there? We're going to have to eat breakfast on those countertops tomorrow, y'know," is what comes out instead, and Steve laughs, a quiet, exasperated laugh. Happy and satiated, Tony closes his eyes, wraps his arms around his Steve, and goes to sleep.
His left ball doesn't itch anymore.
---
Precisely at that moment, downstairs:
Loki draws pictures on the countertop with his and Thor's mingled cum. He traces the outline of Mjolnir, remembers the time last week he'd stretched Thor out and made him sit on the hammer for two hours, loose and wet and wanting, and thinks, we'll have to try that again sometime . Thor is slumped over him, watching him trace his little pictures on the countertop with an affectionate look in his eye, one hand carding absent-mindedly through his hair. It's a bit sticky, and uncomfortable, but Loki decides magnanimously that he'll allow Thor this liberty, just this once.
"That was a good thing we did there," Thor rumbles, in his usual self-satisfied manner. Loki rolls his eyes, but quietly, because he's still feeling generous. With both of Thor's fists up his arse, he orgasmed twice, and he's still floating on the cloud of endorphins, so he supposes he should be thankful to Thor, at least...
In fact, he's still feeling a little randy. His cock is beginning to harden again, where it lies against his thigh, and he knows Thor isn't finished with him yet. Thor's not known for being a fertility god for nothing, he isn't.
"You didn't tell me Tony Stark was quite so good-looking," he sighs, affecting a dreamy air. He feels the air pressure around him drop, the distant roar of thunder outside the windows, and smiles a secret smile. Yes, he knows how to rile Thor up, like no one else can - no one knows his brother like he does. That mortal woman can't even compare. Pity she and Thor used to date, because from the things he's heard of her, he thinks he and her might have gotten on, if it weren't for her unfortunate romantic past with his brother. After all, he is something of a scientist, as is she, but daring to touch his Thor isn't a transgression he forgives easily. He can't count how many past lovers of Thor's he's vanquished, and not only that, how many of these past lovers Thor himself had willingly left, just for Loki. No one can take his place at his brother's side, just as he's unwilling to give up this place he's rightfully earned.
As Thor roughly yanks his buttocks apart and settles between his knees, Loki sighs a satisfied sigh, and turns around to gaze languidly at his brother. There's a twinkle in his brother's eyes that signals that he knows he's being played, knows it, and enjoys it, just like how he'd wrested the truth of his past lovers' 'mysterious' disappearances from Loki and simply laughed the matter off before. How can the puny mortal Tony Stark even hope to compare?
Yes, there is no one but Thor for Loki, and no one but Loki for Thor, thinks Loki hazily, as he buries his face in his arms and loses himself to the wicked pleasures of Thor's tongue.

fujimi's design is really detailed, i love it! could you do a few asks from your extremely detailed oc ask meme reblog? mainly 3, 11, 14, 13, 14, 17, 27, 49-51, and 53-56! im super interested in where you came up with the inspiration to create such a deep backstory for her!
AHHHHHH thank you so much!!!!!! whbadghsbdadgwv ;;~;; yall make my heart all wibbly when y’all love my girls but anyway! answer under readmore bc it gets long
3. Orientation and Relationship status (single, taken (by who?), crush (on who?))
ahaaaaaaaaaa….. It’s Complicated.
She definitely has a thing with Genichiro but I don’t even know if I’d call it a crush? Maybe back when she first met Genichiro (he was the one who gave her a naginata in the first place) but after all these years….. idk. I feel like having a crush has this sort of pining attached to it that simply isn’t there as she would exist in the game proper because of their lengthy history. The two are thick as thieves though, and honestly…… are basically married just sans a confession or like. Actual Romantic stuff.
As the Bride of Ashina (the….. country, not Genichiro or Isshin LOL) her actual status is a kind of…… nun-like/Jeanne d’Arc type of figure? I mean taking the religious aspect out of it there’s this piety toward her country and because she’s “Ashina’s Bride” that’s “who” she’s committed to, and no other person can encroach upon that union.
Also she does have a complex because she is, well, the vessel of a whole village’s worth of kegare accumulated over generations and is thus “unclean”. Even if Genichiro were to propose marriage, she’d turn it down because she could not bring herself to sully him.
11. Do they have any notable features, like horns, tails, or so on?
Aside from being Very Albino……. not usually. Certain actions taken in the fake Black Mortal Blade DLC can put her on one of two paths - one where she remains a vessel for kegare, and one where she is purified. Purified, she is able to call upon Benzaiten for help, and while it is up to the goddess to answer that call, if she does respond, Fujimi has a whopping 8 whole entire arms and is a Giant Woman.
Corrupted… Well her corrupted form isn’t just corrupted by kegare, but the cycle of war, and a big thing is the exploration of one of my favorite quotes “When desire is stripped of its humanity… all that remains is war.” and so it’s also accumulation of desire. And, when this transformation takes place, it’s at a time where desire hangs thick in the air - “I don’t want to die” “Please, someone save me” “I want to kill them all” “Someone, please avenge me” “Someone, please save Ashina”. Hundreds of voices all ringing out with that sentiment……. And she, as the Vessel, bears them all upon her body to sooth their souls. But there’s only so much even someone built for containing that much rage, hatred, corruption, anguish can hold……. It overflows, overflows, spilling out, and turns her into a monster……… From her hips down, her body is that of a serpent’s, her skin patched with scales, with four arms, mouth split at the sides allowing her to unhinge her jaw like a snake, with hooked teeth
though the hooked teeth and mouth split can also occur for a certain ritual….. More or less, the curse of Ayame village can be bestowed upon an outsider via the Gatekeeper. Obviously, Fujimi can’t normally do this, but by devouring her sister’s still-beating heart, she gets a single “charge” of that power.
13. Have any kids?
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh not………. in the main game. or dlc. but endings……….. well. thinking emoji
14. Can they cook? Can they bake?
She can cook very well! Come with the territory of being trained to be a wife.
17 Can they fight?
Already answered here!
27. What’s their family like? Who’s in it? What’s their relationship with them?
The people of Ayame village tend to live slightly longer (natural) lifespans than normal humans (it’s that good good cursed blood). Her family before she was sent off consisted of her great grandmother, grandparents, parents, and sister. Her great grandmother was the previous Gatekeeper…… As evidenced by the other details of her childhood, her family is Not Great. She barely remembers her parents - in her memory they exist only as voices, ghosts looming over her shoulder, watching her advances in various skills with a careful eye. She…… had a good relationship with her sister before she left since she and one other were the only children who would play with her in the village (bc of her spiritual uncleanliness), and she would sometimes sibling swap with her sister, but as detailed here, that good relationship is not reciprocated any longer
49. What are some themes tied to your character’s story?
Kegare, duality/mirrors/mirroring, the intersection of divine/holy and sin/corruption, monstrosity vs. humanity, wearing masks/acting in a role, cycles of death/war/fate, desire as war
50. What are some motifs associated with your character?
Snakes or other serpentine patterns, water especially the sea, irises, wisteria, indigo…… I think that’s it?
51. What were some inspirations for your character (people, movies, games)?
Already answered here!
53. Expectations vs Reality: what did you expect and what did you get with this character?
Expectation: I wanted a character that I could use to explore the more supernatural elements of Sekiro, as well as a side of “they gave me so much bride imagery and lore but no bride so I am going to give them Genichiro’s a bride”
Reality: my bride now
no but really………. I guess there were no expectations to break because I didn’t really have a clear image of her when I started. I wanted someone who would allow me to play in this world, and I guess how I wanted to play shaped who she is. I suppose, if anything, I didn’t expect her individual pieces to end up lining up and clicking into place as easily as it did concerning lore details?
I guess I also didn’t expect to love her this much……. I often create OCs to understand a world I dearly love better, and that’s how I interact with it (I did this with KH, Monogatari series, and others) but the fact I’ve never shown them off tells you exactly how much I care about them. It’s not that I don’t work hard on them, but I work hard crafting, figuring them out, figuring all the pieces that fit, but once I’m done and satisfied with everything, they sit on a shelf collecting dust because they’ve done what they came here to do. Madora is special because she’s different in that I never tire of thinking about her. Fujimi is shaping up to be the same way - she’s a bit of a special case because I love Sekiro so much I don’t want to change the ending and there’s not much for her after the ending, but I still like thinking of AUs, detailing her time before the fall of Ashina, etc.
In a sense I think the greatest surprise is how much I ended up liking her.
54. What does your character want, and what do they need?
Mmmmm. This is gonna sound weird but. What she wants is to die. I don’t think she’s actively suicidal or depressed or anything like that but….. There’s certain parts of her that long for death. Death because she was meant to die at 8 anyway. Death because it’s what’s needed to ensure the safety of her village. Death because she forsook her duty and in turn, her village. Death because there is a part of her buried deep down inside that knows she isn’t human and she sees people like Genichiro and Gyoubu and the Ashina troops willing to lay down their lives for Ashina, to shed their humanity to protect it, and she wants that, wants to shine as brilliantly as those humans, rushing to their deaths with their fragile bodies, do.
What she needs is…… to live. She was given and continues (due to various circumstances) to be given a new lease on life. She tethers herself to things to die for so she doesn’t need to think about how to live - she only needs to think about how she will die. But she needs to learn to untether herself, and face the terrifying reality of being alive. In a sense, she needs to learn to surrender.
55. What’s your character’s core trait? What’s their best trait? What’s their worst trait? When happens when these all interact with each other?
Already answered here!
56. What’s your overall goal with this character? Will they get a happy ending or will they succumb to their faults?
As stated before, the only goal was to explore The Lore. As for a happy ending....... aha. Is that really possible when she’s team Ashina......? Well. I actually planned out alternate endings depending on player choice in the Black Mortal Blade DLC I’ve been planning :3

beep beep y’all ur resident dumpster dweller kay here in action and ready 2 introduce u all to my Fave Boy misha who uhHHhh p much has rbf and a Thicc ukrainian accent. will this contain anything of substance other than immense rambling ?? whO KNOWS but we’ll go on this journey together but feel free to drop a like if u wanna plot and i’ll pop over to ur dm’s !!
potential triggers: death + mob activity
! ✰ ° — [ CHRIS PINE, CISMALE, HE/HIM ] mykhailo “misha” chernenko, aka agent prometheus is a thirty-five year old tactical agent that has been loyal to mercy twelve years. during that time they were injected with the gamma serum and earned regenerative healing they have a reputation of being the sagacious because they can be pragmatic & diligent. but let’s not forget they’re pretty acerbic & reticent. if you listen closely you can hear another one bites the dust by queen whenever they walk past.
okie to start off ya boy was brought into the world as михайло оландрович черненко ( aka mykhailo oleksandrovych chernenko ) but typically goes by the nickname of misha bc it’s easier and was born in kharkiv, ukraine ,,, he is a proud ukrainian and v much dislikes being deemed a russian ,, don’t do him dirty y’all . . it’s a struggle and one he will never forget n have u on his shit list ,, especially since his accent is still Thicc so any jokes will get u a side eye
his father oleksandr had strong nationalistic views , especially so when ukraine was still under soviet control and following the death of his first wife yulia ( they were visiting her family in moscow when she was caught in the crossfire of russian mob activity on her way home from the store and ultimately died from gunshot wounds ) he became heavily involved anti-russia groups back in ukraine
in 1983 when misha was born, he uHHhhHHhh wasn’t really wanted per say ?? like ,, his dad was hooking up with his mother kateryna and it was a surprise to them both that kateryna was pregnant ?? so oleksandr did the noble thing ( arguable bc he ain’t so noble ) and put a ring on her ,, mainly bc it was expected and kateryna gave him hell so u go kateryna
misha’s childhood wasn’t the best considering his parents argued more than they got along and kateryna really despised her husband from his life of crime ?? definitely didn’t agree with his ties to the ukrainian mob bc of the threat it brought to the family and especially the dirty money so she often put her sewing skills to use and made little of her own money ,, then wOP ,, four years down the line kateryna surprises oleksandr with the fact that she’s pregnant again but this time it ends up being a daughter that they name nadezhda but call nadia
it was an odd thing for misha bc for as harsh and distant as his father was to him, he had put him on this pedestal with a strong sense of idealism of what his father was like if he managed to do something to make him proud ,, despite not fully knowing in depth what his father did in the mob ( aka not good things like murder, drug trafficking and human trafficking ) so essentially that became misha’s goal in his v young life ,, he mimicked his father’s anti-russian views and showed interest in what he did for a living ,, rip 2 misha’s mom bc she nearly had a heart attack when she heard her son acting like everything she didn't want him to end up being
but with kateryna’s dismay came the affection from his father that misha had so desperately wanted and it became some weird take ur child to work day thing ,, this started when misha was around 6 years old and lasted up until he was 13 ( for reasons i’ll get into soon jndsjksd ) where oleksandr would often bring misha after school or even take him our during school ,, as some weird initiation thing of another generation of chernenko dedicating themselves to the cause of ukrainian independence
misha himself is an intelligent boy with a quick witted mind and ability to retain information and was quick to pick up on the russian language around him in kharkiv as well english ,, generally v good at learning languages and i just !!! get a lil emo thinking about the life misha could have had bc of his smarts if he didn’t get himself involved in this spy shit
his father finds it useful to start teaching misha how to properly fight bc #fambonding am i rite ,, also bc oleksandr is a shite dad who was gonna bring misha along to some  attack they were planning near the russian border from tensions between the ukrainian mob n the russian mob that was starting to infiltrate in ,, just dudes being dudes n getting territorial
let’s pray 4 kateryna when she finds out bc it’s when misha is 13 and tags along with his father to this smackdown which ?? ukraine is independent at this point by 5 years so oleksandr is trash n still chilling with the mob and when shit hits the fan and long story short, oleksandr ( along with many others ) gets killed, misha ends up severely hurt and it’s not a good time ,, but things shift bc when misha comes to he’s in a hospital bed and o shIT ,, he’s chilling with the security service of ukraine which deals with counterintelligence activity and terrorism
chilling ain’t really the term but yA KNOW ,, turns out they’ve been keeping eyes on the mob movements and misha attracted the attention of ukrainian intelligence “offered” him a role as a spy with the promise of training and serving his country proudly ,, u know ,, offered is in quotes bc hoe didn’t really have a choice but it wasn’t a hard choice bc misha was eager to help out his homeland
he didn’t officially go out into the field until he was 17 bc of extensive training in combat and espionage to help defend the still young foundation of the ukrainian government especially since it was rocky from the poor economic conditions ,, and after proving both his worth and abilities in several missions, he was activated as a sleeper agent in the russian government to get a hold of information regarding russian intelligence ,, more importantly such impacting ukraine
ya boy excelled in his position, given it wasn’t the most exciting bc it involved a lot of blending in and upholding this russian persona ,, gone was mykhailo chernenko for those three years up until he was 23 since he went by the alias of konstantin vasiliev ,, and he did well !! as someone who excelled in linguistics, his was v fluent in the russian language with a believable accent to match ( one of his best qualities in his ability to take on accents easily and rn he’s fluent in french, german, italian and spanish outside of his ukrainian, russian, and english )
things went well for the three years acting as a secretary for a high ranking russian government official and uh,, u know it helped that misha was attractive and knew how to use it to his advantage and successfully infiltrated into classified information since his superior viewed misha as just a pretty face with minimal understanding of how politics worked ,, meanwhile he was the one who spilled shit during sex so who was the real weenie
due to unfortunate events, misha’s cover was blown and barely made it out of russia alive and it was around his 23rd/24th that mercy got into contact with him and for as much as misha loved his country, he figured for his own safety it would be best to leave the area since lowkey the russian government still had it out for him ,, so he joined the mercy division as a field agent and AGENT PROMETHEUS was born ,, a couple of years into it he was convicted into taking the gamma serum which gave him regenerative healing which helps out v much when he gets shot at or generally hurt
so yeah p much ya boy has been chilling at mercy as a field agent for eleven years and generally enjoying his time here given things can’t ever really get normal as a spy ,, but it was last year that bc of numerous influences, misha decided to accept the offer of joining the tactical agents and retire his days as a field agent.
personality wise ,, misha is v devoted to his job and does this hoe ever genuinely laugh or smile ?? who knows ,, i think there’s a rumor somewhere that he’s actually a robot. def gives into the slavic stereotype where ukrainian’s never smile ,, not to mention his father ingrained into him the ukrainian saying of Сміх без причини є ознакою тупості aka “laughter without a reason is a sign of stupidity” soooOOoo he’s just a bit stoic and has resting bitch face
doesn’t really realize he’s v blunt and forthright in his speak so he can come off as an asshole ( which 67% of the time he doesn’t mean ) ,, has the patience of a saint but if u push hard enough he’ll crack ,, a bit dry on the humor but can def be an asshole when he wants to. doesn’t trust a lot of ppl and it’s hard to earn his trust ,, word the only major ppl he’s trusted was a) his dad b) the security service of ukraine and c) now mercy so kudos on getting on his good side
has no contact whatsoever with his mother kateryna or his sister nadia ,, partially bc couldn’t keep up for security n safety reasons but also bc misha is p much dead to kateryna after following his father’s footsteps, getting involved in the whole mess of ukrainian / russian political n governmental affairs and also dropping his v tiny attempt of college before becoming a sleeper agent for ukraine ,, so ya boy is on his own so u can expect wALLS around him ,, bc u know ,, he don’t do emotional vulnerability or relationships

a one shot: lotor x fem!reader ??? :'D (oh! it can be a fluff?? or like, both are pining for each other, and the fem!reader can either be a paladin or a side character in the series huhuhu thank u!!!)
I took inspiration from the story of Star Guardians and Soraka, a support hero, in League of Legends so I hope that’s alright!
also beware that this is ridiculously long. Longer than I could afford bc i love my beautiful prince
Reader is female

Nobody told you that having the power of the stars can lead you to having thoughts about destroying a planet by using a huge star.
Not that it would actually do anything. Despite being huge balls of gas, your newly blessed power would only heal your fellow Paladins. You weren’t complaining at the limits of your powers. In fact, you were grateful that you were even helping. Much like the Garrison trio, you were swept in with Keith and Shiro inside a sentient mechanical lion and outside the confines of your solar system. Then one thing led to another, you were one of the protectors of entire galaxies.
Yet, you were nobody special. You didn’t have a chosen Lion, you didn’t have powers like Allura, you couldn’t even fight.
Maybe that was the reason why the elusive Star Guardians had blessed you.
Star Guardians… more myths than truths, Allura told you and Pidge these stories during a girls only night in her room. It was said that the Star Guardians were the protectors of the galaxies when Voltron nor the Paladins didn’t exist yet. 5 Guardians-much like 5 Paladins- 5 Guardians that harnessed the power of the stars and bend them to whichever way they want it. Whether this was an actual thing that happened years ago or maybe it was a bedtime story made up for her, you never would have guessed that saving a dying planet from the Galra can lead you to being blessed with powers.
You could still remember it like it was yesterday.
Nobody told the team that attempting rescue on a dying planet could lead to everyone being ambushed by aliens that weren’t Galra.
The castle had gotten a transmission on a rural planet about Galra attacking them. You were pretty sure that you were the only one who was skeptical about the message, wondering how a backwards planet managed to relay a quite clear message to the castle ship. Next thing you know, the lions, the ship, even Lotor’s cruiser had been compromised by alien tech that didn’t make sense to you. Heck, a battle ship looked like a giant snake with multiple eyes as its “mouth” blasted powerful green lasers at Lotor’s cruiser.
Call it recklessness or bravery, you went down there in one of the castle’s escape pods as the joined voices of Allura and Coran screamed in unison to try and stop you from entering the fight. As you avoided the numerous lasers from the dark purple ships, your communicator began bugging out on the account of everyone begging you to go back to the castle. Gulping at the sight of the draconic ship, you barely had time to reach Lotor as one laser managed to burn out the entire side on the pod.
The wind against your ears didn’t even matter. The hot burning sensation of the laser made your senses numb and it didn’t even graze you.
How weak could you be?
Yet when you were diving head-first down on the foreign ground, with no Lion or cruiser to save you since they were preoccupied with the fleet, your body somehow felt lighter as you got your senses back. With a strangled gasp, you realized the wind wasn’t blowing past your ears as fast as it should and no human should have a body that is a literal galaxy.
What once was your space suit disappeared in a flash as your nude body was covered by liquid-like movement of green galaxies. With a flash, a tight, sleeveless white tailcoat clung to your body as it’s tails flew outward like wings. Your skirt was green, with the same color streaks across your hair. Your legs were covered by white thigh-high socks with the same colored boots. Those, your chest, even next to your temple were adorned with green stars and tiny white wings.
With how sparkly and ridiculous the outfit looks, you might as well be in those magical girl cartoons you used to watch as a kid.
Even though you looked like a cosplayer amidst the war, the staff in your gloved hands glowed with light as you flew towards Lotor’s cruiser. Starlight immediately gathered around your staff as a stream of starlight slithered towards Lotor’s cruiser. You tapped the ship’s window, seeing Lotor’s gaping expression behind his helmet. Not stopping from your support, you raised your staff high in the air as the sky began to brighten. 8 green stars began falling down as they blessed all of your teammates with renewed energy.
Because of your sudden powers, Team Voltron turned the entire fight around as they fought back the armada. When you regrouped with the others, imagine their faces when you landed in front of them with sparkles littering your body. Mainly Allura, Lance, heck even Lotor looked as though they witnessed a goddess. Which isn’t very far technically. Maybe Lotor knew about the stories of the Star Guardians.
Which brings you to today.
Being the only team member that heals everyone, you were an integral part of the during and after fights. The least that were hurt were usually Pidge, Shiro, Allura and Lotor since they were careful enough while Hunk and Lance were the most injured since former was the one tanking everything while the latter was hurt more when he kept leading and trying to flirt with you whenever you heal him.
“You know I told you before that your eyes held the stars? It turns out I’m a seer this whole time!”
“Very funny, Lance. How about I feed you a star fragment then I’ll consider dating you.”
You could never get tired by seeing the Blue Paladin’s face pout from your rejections. Having the last of the starlight heal his wounds, you put your staff away as it floated besides you. Having these powers is amazing but the complete downside of it is how you have to wear a ridiculous yet arguably fashionable get-up.
“Please be careful next time, Lance. The stars can’t save you always, you know.” You said to him as he stretched his now-healed limbs.
“No promises, mi estrella. Can’t rest easy when galaxies are getting screwed over every second.” He replied back, patting your back gently. “We have you and Coran to support us every step of the way. You don’t have to stress yourself too much.”
Hearing those words come out of his mouth, you would assume that he was a parasite in the form of Lance, but you knew better. With him as the new Paladin of the Red Lion, his flirtatious attitude soon dwindled down as he began to act more like Shiro… scarily enough.
The doors opened, turning your head to see Lotor with an angry wound on his side. The different colored blood made you squirm slightly but you dismissed it as you went over to Lotor’s side and held him up. “Give us some privacy, Lance. You still need to debrief the team on our next mission.”
Lance nodded and left, not before giving a wary side-eye glance at Lotor’s shaking form before exiting the room. Bringing the alien to the nearest cot, you grabbed your staff as it glowed gently with starlight.
“I’m guessing level 11 training sequence is too hard on you?” You joked at him, waving the staff across his wound as his body stopped quivering.
He huffed, looking elsewhere from you. “I do not need your sympathy. My well-being has nothing to do with you.”
A sharp sting went through your heart. “It has everything to do with me. I’m the one healing you and everybody else after all.”
He sighed through his nose, noting that he was no longer sweating too much as the wound began to close. The stream of stars surrounded the rest of his minor wounds such as a hidden scrape on his shoulder, his legs, and a tiny scratch on his forehead nearing his eye. With the way the stream surrounded him, it made him look like he was bathed in starlight that complimented his ethereal looks.
And oh how you loved it.
“Do you enjoy watching your patients as you heal them?”
QUIZNACK.
“N-No!” You exclaimed, replying quicker than intended. “I mean-I’m supposed to but not in that way–”
“My apologies…” Lotor cut you off, putting himself in a sitting up position when he began feeling better. “I did not intend for you to be uncomfortable. It’s just that you seem to enjoy supporting us from the backlines that I assumed fate must have done something right for once.”
You heard the bite in his last words but you chose to ignore it. You let your staff float beside you as it continued to let out a stream of starlight. “Well… if I’m being honest, I love it. Before I felt so useless because of everybody having something that’s useful for the coalition and then there’s me. I just happened to be with Lance when all of this happened.”
You sat down on the cot with him, smiling softly at your hands. “I could only provide support after a mission since I have a bit of background knowledge on medicine but even then I never felt so ashamed of myself whenever the team gets hurt. I know it’s a stupid reason but… I guess fate really did do something good for me.”
You were a bit out of breath, not prepared to give out a bit of your life story to the Galran prince. When you heard nothing from him, you turned your head only to see his beautiful eyes staring back at yours.
“I…” He trailed off, breaking eye contact momentarily to stare down at his lap. “I am glad that you were able to have something that you worked hard for. Truly you deserve it.”
Somehow there was more than what he implied but you stayed silent. Pursing your lips, you turned your body to him fully before taking one of his hands in yours. You didn’t miss the flinch of his body when you did.
“I know we don’t talk much and I know the team doesn’t trust you fully but you’re a part of the team now. You can tell us what’s wrong.”
It took a while for him to respond back but he placed his other hand on top of yours as he whispered your name softly, “Thank you. I do not deserve your kindness.”
Your heart could only beat faster when he said your name and touched your hand with his own. Your eyes wanted avert away from his face, realizing at how soft his expression became when he began talking to you. Yet nothing could remove your sight from his own.
It took way too much time to have your gaze tear away from his as you grabbed your staff. “Looks like you’re fully healed. Please be more careful when your in the training hub.”
In half a second, you swore you saw his eyes dull from you leaving him but he stood up quickly, already towering over you. “Thank you for healing me.”
You regarded him with a nod, before feeling warm when he took a step closer to you. It took all your courage to lift your head up and see his eyes shining like the stars surrounding yours.
“And thank you for being the team’s shining star.”
You gulped down a lump in your throat but wanting to play with his little game. “I didn’t take you to like puns.”
He shook his head softly, his hair swishing like white waves of water. “I am not joking. You are the light and hope of the team, especially for me.”
You swore Lotor could hear how hard your heart is pounding by his small smirk playing on his lips. “Where is this coming from?”
“From my heart, most obviously.” He joked, grabbing your wrist gently as he raised it near his chest. You gasped inwardly when you hear it beating as fast as yours. “This is what humans do during courting, am I right?”
A choked sound tore away from your throat as the alien stared down at you confusingly. He honestly looked like a kicked puppy that you wanted to coo at him.
“Well,” you started, trying to ignore your pounding heart, “your ‘techniques’ are… something. But I can’t deny that it’s making my heart race.”
He snorted, lips quirking upwards a tad bit to reveal fangs. “Most obviously.”
You quelled your ongoing flirtatious comments about him. “And if you’re asking… I would love to be your partner.”
You were pretty sure that it was supposed to be unnoticeable but his shoulders sagged almost as though a huge weight was removed. He placed his forehead against yours, laughing softly as his breath fanned against your face like a warm breeze.
“This should be the part where humans would initiate a ‘kiss’?” Lotor tested the word. “Though embarrassingly, I have yet to have full grasp on the action.”
You giggled, bringing your arms on his chest. “We’ll take our time then. I won’t burn out like the rest of the stars out there.”
You felt a hand on your waist, feeling it squeeze the area around it, like your would actually burn out. “Let’s hope you won’t then.”

Am genuinely not sure whether I think Clarke will take Bellamy's or Octavia's side on the Echo issue. On the one hand, I can see her being empathetic about it and wanting to support Bellamy. On the other...we know there's gonna be conflict between the two of them, and I can *really* see Clarke being jealous but convincing herself she's just worried bc she doesn't trust Echo and cares about Bellamy. What do you think?
She might have her own side.  That’s always a possibility. I don’t think she’s ever picked Octavia’s side over Bellamy’s, though. Maybe season1. And that was really her side.
There is going to be conflict between Bellamy and Clarke, but JR and the cast have been saying it was going to be over Madi, not Echo. I think we’ve got shipping goggles on when we think it’s about jealous and B/E. I think B/E might cause jealousy, but it would be Clarke’s personal character development, not the conflict plot? Just a sense I get. They’ll be too busy trying to save the world again, you know? Back to pushing aside the feelings? And it does sound as if the major conflict over Echo is NOT actually with Clarke, but with Octavia, and that makes me think again that the feelings will be pushed to the side and it won’t be about the love triangle. I suspect because B/E romance will have fallen apart for multiple reasons, mainly having to do with true love and pining and people deserving better and them being deep characters instead of shallow ones.
But as for Clarke not trusting Echo? I think you forgot that Clarke was the one who brought Echo into the family. Bellamy never would have sacrificed one of his own for Echo. ESPECIALLY not Clarke. CLARKE is the original, “I’m going to make friends with my enemy and we will both be stronger” girl. She did it with Bellamy, Raven, Anya, Niylah, Lxa, Roan. She’s not only on board befriending Echo, she’s the one who made everyone else befriend her.
She started out the season with her monologue about how every death she caused had a reason, and how her enemies also had the same reasons, and it was kill or be killed, but there were no good guys.
Her feelings for Echo are NOT going to be about jealousy. Or mistrust.Now. Don’t get me wrong, I think there WILL be jealousy. And I think Echo is the PERFECT character to make her feel more like the left behind, on the outside, and that what she REALLY wants with Bellamy is more than just the platonic partnership. but that’s about HER feelings. About HERSELF. Not about Echo.
I think we’ll get a love triangle, but it won’t be expressed externally. The characters will be feeling the tension within themselves and it will change them. There will be no cheating or fighting over mah man. Have patience and let the feelings and story develop.
And remember that there’s a LOT going on other than romance, and most of the storyline will NOT be romantic. It sounds like Echo’s storyline is not at ALL about romance. So keep an eye out for her other issues.
