WAIT U ACCEPT PROMPTS!?!?!?!?! I WANT DANNY CALLING CLOCKWORK DAD WHILE HE IS TIRED (THIS IS THE 1ST TIME ANYONE EVER CALLING CLOCKWORK DAD) u can get to this whenever u want lol I don't mind! (UuU)
I do accept prompts! I just might also, you know, leave them in my inbox for years. You know how it is.
.
He doubted anyone would believe him, but Clockwork did not, in fact, plan for this.  If anything, he'd expected to never see this version of Danny Fenton again after he'd reset the timeline that first time.  Yet, here he was, napping on Clockwork's couch.  His couch which, incidentally, Clockwork had only acquired because otherwise Danny would nap on bookshelves, gears, time-screens, and, harrowingly, pendulums.  
Actually Clockwork had wound up with a lot of human things that he never used but Danny did.  Maybe, with all the time Danny spent sleeping here, Clockwork should invest in a bed.  
But, regardless, Danny was here, unpredictable, asleep, and about to miss his curfew if he didn't start home in the next five minutes.  Clockwork wasn't going to rewind or slow time for something like this.  Even if he was researching healthy, shelf-stable snacks for human teenagers, so he could keep a few on hand.  
He shook Danny's shoulder slightly.  "Danny," he said, "you need to wake up.  You'll be late."
Danny groaned.  "Just five more minutes, Dad."
Clockwork, who had been about to say, no, he couldn't have five more minutes, froze.  Intellectually, he knew that Danny didn't mean to call him 'Dad's at all, that this couldn't even be classified as a Freudian slip, considering his sleeping state.  
However
 no one had ever called him Dad before.  Not even by mistake.  
He stepped away, adjusting the controls on his staff.  Maybe, just this once, he could give Danny those five more minutes.

Petals - Luke Hemmings
Warning: This contains highly adult and explicit content. Please do not continue if you are underage. 5k+ words this chapter.
Chapter 2: Dangerous Game
A few days have passed since my steamy encounter with Luke and Sarah has been bugging me for more details. I haven't given in to her pushing yet, just snippets of information, but my god has she been hungry for everything. Normally I'd tell her with no problem, so it's definitely driving her up a wall. For some reason I've been holding this one a little closer than I typically would. Maybe it's the arrangement I made with him stopping me. Not sure.
"So, I've been doing research," Sarah begins as she plops down on the couch next to me. 
I was watching something, but I have a feeling I won't be able to focus on it, so I turn the volume down and turn to look at her. "Okay... Research on?"
"Your boy toy. I'm going to call him that now."
I roll my eyes and sigh, "Sarah, you know I don't want to know anything. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of the hooking up if I know personal shit."
She seems to consider my words for a moment, pursing her lips and narrowing her eyes. Then, suddenly, her expression goes back to normal. "I get it, Lex, but as your best friend, these are things you should know. I'll keep it as... emotionless as possible."
I lean back on the couch with a soft thunk and cross my arms. "If I tell you to shut up, shut up."
"Yes, ma'am," she says as she gives me a playful salute, which I can't help but laugh at slightly. Sarah's expression changes once more into something serious as she begins to dive in to whatever she dredged up. "So, I'm sure you remember me mentioning that he was in a shitty relationship. I dug into it more now that we confirmed it was him you were with."
"Sarah," I say with a warning in my tone. "This is exactly what I don't want to know."
"Trust me. Just listen, I won't give a bunch of details."
My eyes narrow again but I nod slowly and keep my mouth shut. 
"Anyway... The point I want to make is that it was bad, Lex. Obviously, no one has the real, full details like he would, but it was fucking messy to say the least. He was with her for years and it ended poorly as well a few months ago." Sarah pauses, taking a deep breath before she continues. "I'm not sure you should get involved with him, Lex. He's got a lot of baggage, more than the public will ever know, and I don't want to see you get hurt." She reaches out and touches my arm in a supportive gesture. "You deserve someone who's going to treat you right, not someone who's still emotionally tied up in his past."
I take a moment to consider her words before replying. "Fair point, but it's just sex. And what would I even say if he called to hook up? 'Oh, sorry I found out who you are and about your ex'?"
Sarah nods, her eyes flickering around before looking back at me. "I get it. You're not looking for anything serious, and I'm not trying to change your mind." She smiles reassuringly as she says, "Just be careful, okay? You're literally playing with fire here. Luke's a celebrity, and his life is all about drama and public scrutiny. You might get caught up in it, and I don't want you to get burned." She pauses again, her expression softening. "Just don't get too invested, okay? Remember, this is just supposed to be fun."
"I didn't plan on getting invested. I doubt he did either, especially if he recently got out of something long and terrible," I say with a nonchalant shrug.
"I hope you're right, Lex. I just don't want to see you get hurt," Sarah says, her voice soft. "If he calls, make sure your intentions are clear. Don't lead him on and don't let him lead you on either." A teasing glint appears in her eyes as she says, "And if things do get serious and you do end up falling for him... I'll be here to pick up the pieces." She laughs softly, trying to lighten the mood. 
I roll my eyes, convinced I can handle emotionless sex. "Yeah, yeah. We agreed on no attachments. It'll be fine." I glance over at the clock, just now realizing it's decently into the night. "Holy shit, time flies. I should shower and get to bed."
Sarah laughs and gets up from the couch, stretching her arms over her head. "Sounds like an excuse to end this conversation. It's fine though, I said what I needed to. Sweet dreams of Luke Hemmings," she says with a wink as she turns and goes towards her room.
I shake my head at her comment and turn off the tv, heading to my bathroom. I grab a shower and dry my hair. During the whole process, I try to push everything Sarah told me out of my mind. I understand that she cares and is concerned, but I'm an adult and so is he. We can make our own choices and do this without anything deeper. 
As I get into some sweatpants and a tank top, my phone buzzes on the nightstand. I hang up my towels from my shower and pad back into the room, picking up my phone and unlocking it to view the text from... a number I don't know. Weird time for a scam text.
Unknown: Hey, it's Luke. Still can't get your body out of my head. What are you up to tonight?
My eyebrows raise in surprise, but I guess I should've expected to hear from him eventually. I quickly add the number to my contacts, laying down on my bed, and then type out my reply.
Me: Just laying on my bed at the moment.
I roll over onto my back and gaze up at the ceiling as I wait for a reply. Flashes of the long night we spent together run through my head and a small smile comes to my lips.
Luke: Alone, I hope. I was thinking about coming over.
The text is simple, but it's flirty and suggestive at the same time. I can practically hear him saying it in that hot Aussie accent of his. I feel a rush of excitement and anticipation swell within me, wondering if he's serious.
I clutch my phone and quickly get up from the bed, jogging over to Sarah's room. I throw her door open without even bothering to knock and she looks up at me from a book, startled by my unannounced entrance.
"Whoa, what's going on?" she asks as she sets the book face down on her lap.
"I'm pretty sure Luke is asking to come over," I announce, biting my lip.
Sarah's eyes widen, a mix of shock and amusement on her face. "Oh my god... What did he say?"
I shrug and let her see the conversation. "Not much, but I didn't reply yet because I had to ask if you'd, ya know, stay in your room with the door closed..."
Sarah takes in the simple conversation and glances up at me with a knowing look. "I'm fucking jealous, but yeah, I'll stay in my room. I'll just... put on some music or something to drown out the noise." She winks at me, clearly very amused by the situation. "Just try not to make too much of a mess, okay? I don't want to have to clean up after you two."
I roll my eyes good-naturedly as she nudges me in a playful manner with her elbow. "You're a doll. Hopefully we make it to my room and you won't have to worry." I give her a wink back and head out of the room, shutting her door behind me and heading back to my room to flop onto my bed and type out a response.
Me: Alone in my bed, yes. Were you trying to join me?
Practically as soon as I hit send, my phone starts to ring. It startles me at first, but I answer the call anyway. "Hey, what's up?" I try to sound casual even though my heart is beating a bit quicker than it should be from the anticipation.
Luke's deep, sultry voice comes through my phone. "Hey, beautiful. I was thinking about you and I couldn't wait to hear your voice again. You know, I've been lying in bed, just like you, thinking about all the things I want to do to you..."
I bite my lip as he speaks, hearing the smirk in his voice, but manage to reply, "Oh yeah? Is that why you were thinking about coming over?"
Luke chuckles on the other line, low and throaty. "Oh, you have no idea. I've been craving you all day. I need to feel your skin against mine, to taste your lips... and so much more." His voice drops to a whisper, his tone dripping with desire, "I'm getting in my car now. I hope you're ready for me."
I glance around my room, realizing I really should straighten up somewhat. "I'll be waiting," I reply.
When Luke speaks again, his voice is firm and commanding. "Good. I want you to be naked and waiting for me when I get there. I want to see every inch of your beautiful body."
The line goes dead and I'm left on my bed with my heart racing and the excitement bubbling inside of me. I send him my address and set my phone on the nightstand. I get up from my bed and start to quickly shove anything that could be considered 'mess' into my closet. While I'm working to clean up things fast, I catch my rarely used silk robe out of the corner of my eye. I grab the robe with a smile, knowing this will be just perfect, and strip down to nothing.
As I'm tying the robe around my waist, there's a knock at the front door. My heart skips a beat, and I take a deep breath, feeling a mixture of excitement and nerves. "Coming!" I call out, trying to sound calm and collected. I take one last quick glance in the mirror, making sure everything is in place, then make my way to the front door. 
I unlock the apartment door and swing it open slowly, leaning against it a bit with a playful smirk. "Hey."
Luke is standing in front of me, looking as gorgeous as ever. He's dressed in a simple white t-shirt and jeans, but the intensity in his blue eyes takes my breath away. He steps inside, his gaze roving over my body, taking in the silk robe that barely covers me.
"Hey yourself," he says, low and husky.
He reaches out, grabbing my waist and pulling me close, his lips crashing down on mine in a searing kiss. I blindly shove the door closed behind him as he kisses me, the slam of the door echoing in the apartment. Luke deepens the kiss, his hands roaming over my body as he presses me against the wall. His body is hard and strong against me, and I can feel the heat radiating from him. His lips are demanding, claiming mine as his own, and I melt into the kiss, my hands tangling in his hair.
He breaks the kiss, his lips trailing down my neck, nipping and sucking at the skin as he goes. I let out a quiet moan, arching my back, and he takes full advantage of the movement, his hands slipping beneath the robe to cup my breasts. My head tilts to the side, giving him more access to my skin, and I feel his lips curve up into a smile. His teeth graze over my earlobe before he whispers, "You're so damn sexy. I can't get enough of you, Lex."
His hands continue to explore my body, his fingers tracing the curves of my waist and hips before dipping down to the hem of the robe. He pushes it aside, his touch sending shivers down my spine as he caresses my inner thigh. My chest rises and falls expectantly as his fingers travel along the sensitive skin.
Luke's eyes darken with desire as he watches my reaction, his fingers pausing just inches from the apex of my thighs. He can feel me trembling slightly with anticipation and he lets out a soft groan, his voice rough with need as he speaks. "You're so responsive. I love it." He leans in, his lips hovering just above mine. "I'm going to make you scream my name again tonight. Over and over again." 
His fingers continue their teasing journey, slowly, torturously moving closer to where I want him most. I look up at him with a mixture of lust and frustration. "You're such a tease." 
Luke's grin is wicked, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "I know," he says, his voice low and husky. He leans into my ear again, his lips brushing against the skin once more as he whispers, "And you love it."
His fingers finally reach their destination, and he gently parts my folds, his touch sending a jolt of electricity through me. I gasp, my eyes fluttering closed, and he chuckles, his breath hot on my skin. "You're already so wet for me, Lex. I can feel how much you want me." He begins to circle my clit with his thumb, slowly building up the pressure, as his other hand tightens on my hip, holding me in place. 
I let out a soft moan, my fingers curling around the arm he's using to hold me. Luke's grip on my hip tightens further, his fingers digging into my skin as he continues to tease and torment me. He increases the pressure on my clit, his thumb moving in tight, deliberate circles, as he whispers in my ear, "That's it. Let me hear you. Let me hear how much you want this." His voice is low and commanding, his words sending shivers down my spine. I can feel the tension building in my body, the heat pooling between my legs, as he brings me closer and closer to the edge. 
He nips at my earlobe, his teeth grazing over the shell of my ear, and I let out a louder moan as his movements drive me higher and higher. His thumb moves more intensely as he senses me approaching the brink of release. My legs shake slightly from the pleasure he's bringing to a peek with just his fingers and he does exactly what he wants - pushing me over the edge right then and there against the wall by my apartment door. 
His eyes flash with satisfaction as he feels me tense and tremble in his arms. "That's it... let go. I've got you." He holds me tight, his fingers still moving against my clit as I come undone, prolonging my orgasm. As he continues to hold me, his body presses against mine, his lips brushing against my forehead. When I finally come down all the way, he carefully lifts me up and I bring my legs around his waist. He may have never been here before, but I left my bedroom door open and he heads straight towards it with me in his arms. I kiss along his jawline and neck as he carries me to my room.
His grip on me tightens as I kiss his neck, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallows hard. He lets out a low groan, his eyes fluttering closed briefly as he revels in the sensation. "You're killing me, Lex," he mutters, his voice thick with desire. He lays me down on the bed, his body following mine as his lips find mine in a desperate kiss. No time is wasted before he deepens the kiss, his tongue exploring my mouth with a fierce hunger. My tongue tangles with his as my hands slide down his shoulders and biceps. 
Luke breaks the kiss, his lips finding their way to my neck, nipping and sucking at the sensitive skin once more. "I love the way you taste," he murmurs against my skin. His hand reaches between us and swiftly pulls the silk makeshift belt of my robe undone in one motion. He pushes the fabric of the robe aside, exposing my body to his hungry gaze. 
As he begins to kiss down my chest, I slip my arms out of the robe, completely baring myself beneath him. His lips and tongue tease one of my nipples, his hands mapping out every inch of my curves before he pulls back to look at me, his eyes raking over my naked form. "Fuck," he exhales. "You're so damn sexy like this, I could stare at you all day."
He leans in before I can even respond, his lips capturing mine in a deep, passionate kiss. He tangles his tongue with mine as he presses his body against mine. I can feel the heat and hardness of his arousal against my thigh while his hands come back to my breasts to knead them. My hands travel to the hem of his t-shirt, pushing the fabric up as my fingers make their way up his torso to his chest. He pulls away from the kiss and removes his shirt, tossing it aside, and revealing his sculpted torso and chest. His muscles tense and flex as he moves, his skin warm and smooth beneath my fingertips. 
Luke's eyes lock onto mine and he lets me touch him for a few moments, but not too long, before grabbing my wrists and pinning them above my head with one hand. His free hand grasps my hip as he reconnects our lips and grinds his hips against mine, his erection pressing against my core through his jeans. I moan softly into the kiss as I feel his arousal brushing over me through the thick fabric and lift my hips to match his movements. He releases my wrists with a low groan, the hand going to my hips as well and pulling me closer to him as he grinds against me in a slow, deliberate rhythm, holding me in place.
He breaks the kiss and trails kisses down to my collarbone, chest, and stomach. His tongue swipes a hot, wet stripe along my torso as his hands come to part my thighs a bit further. "I need to taste you," he mumbles against my skin. 
"Please do," I reply in earnest, my eyes locked on him as he descends lower.
He looks up at me with a devilish grin. "You're so eager," he says, his voice full of approval and equal desire.
Luke's arms hook under my thighs, lifting my legs over his shoulders as he positions himself between my thighs. He begins to kiss and nip at the skin of my inner thighs, his stubble scraping against the sensitive flesh and sending sparks of electricity coursing through me. "I've been dreaming about this all week," he confesses, his hot breath washing over my skin as he draws closer to my core.
When he finally reaches my center, he wastes no time, his tongue delving deep, exploring my folds with a skillful intensity that has me arching of the bed in ecstasy. "Oh fuck," I gasp, my hands balling into fists around the fabric of the sheets at either side of me.
His tongue moves with a relentless pace, licking and sucking at my clit, his hands holding me in place as I writhe beneath him. I can't hold back, my hands slipping into his hair and holding him close with my fingers tangled in the strands. He growls softly as I tug on his hair, the sound vibrating through my body and sending a whole new feeling of pleasure. His eyes lock onto mine as he redoubles his efforts with a fierce hunger and desire to make me completely lose control. His tongue circles my clit harder, his fingers digging into the flesh of my thighs as he forces them to stay open no matter how much they're fighting against him. My grip on his hair tightens to a point that's got to be almost painful, but he doesn't stop, it only seems to urge him on further. I throw my head back against the mattress, crying out in pure bliss as he pushes me over the edge again. 
Luke's grip tightens even further as my thighs try to clamp shut around him. He hums with satisfaction and continues to work me through the waves of pleasure crashing over me. He holds me there, on the edge of ecstasy, for what feels like an eternity, before finally pulling away and licking his lips. He looks up at me with a smug smile on his lips as I struggle to catch my breath and he lowers my legs. "You're incredible," he murmurs, his voice full of admiration and a hint of pride. He crawls back up my body, his lips brushing against mine as he whispers, "I love making you come undone."
"And you're way too good at it," I mumble, my breathing coming back to normal slowly. 
He smiles slightly and lets out a low, husky laugh. "I know," he says, his tone full of confidence. He nuzzles my neck, his stubble scraping against my skin, as he presses soft kisses along my jawline. "But I think you love it just as much as I do," he mutters, his lips brushing against the shell of my ear. He rolls onto his side, pulling me with him so that we're facing each other on the bed. He reaches out, brushing a stray piece of hair out of my face, his touch gentle and tender compared to every other experience I've had with him. "You're beautiful when you come," he says with his eyes locked on mine. 
I don't quite know what to say or how to respond, so I just go with all I can think of, though it comes out a bit hesitantly. "Thanks..."
A hint of a smile plays on his face. "You're welcome," he whispers, his eyes roaming over my face as if taking in every detail. "I don't know what it is about you, Lex," he says, his voice low and contemplative. "But I can't seem to get enough of you." He pauses, his eyes darkening with uncertainty. "I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing."
"I don't know. Seems to be working out fine for our arrangement," I say, biting my lip for a moment. "Don't you think?"
Luke's gaze snaps back to mine, and he nods slowly, his eyes locking onto my lips next. "Yeah," he agrees, his voice rough with desire. "It's definitely working out... for now." He leans in, his lips capturing mine in a slow, deep kiss, his tongue sliding against mine as he pulls me closer. The kiss is languid, almost lazy, as if he's savoring the moment and the feeling of my body pressed against his. 
When he finally pulls away, he rests his forehead against mine, his eyes still closed as he takes a deep breath. "But I have a feeling this is going to get complicated," he whispers, a hint of warning in his tone. 
"We could stop," I whisper back. 
His grip on me tightens suddenly, his arms embracing me in an almost possessive manner. "No," he growls, his voice low and firm. "I don't want to stop." He pulls me closer so that his body is pressed against mine, and nuzzles into my neck again. "I don't think I could stop even if I wanted to." His voice is laced with a mixture of desire and frustration. He holds me tightly, his heart pounding against his chest. "I'm in too deep already," he whispers.
I swallow slowly, trying to ignore his words and how they threaten to make me potentially feel things I shouldn't.
Luke senses my hesitation and pulls back slightly, his eyes searching mine. "What is it, Lex?" he asks, his voice gentle but hinting at concern. He reaches up, his hand cupping my face. "You're not... getting attached, are you?" His question is cautious, as if he's afraid of the answer. 
I clear my throat quietly and shake my head. "No, no. Of course not," I say with a small, reassuring smile.
His expression softens, and he lets out a sigh of relief, his hand dropping from my face. "Good," he says, his voice firm, "because I don't want to hurt you." He looks away, his gaze drifting off to the side, as if he's lost in thought. "I've been through too much... with my ex," he admits, his voice barely above a whisper. He falls silent, his eyes fixed on something in the distance, as if he's reliving painful memories.
"We don't have to talk about it. No strings. I knew what I agreed to," I say, hoping to convince him.
Luke's eyes snap back to mine, and he nods, a small, grateful smile on his face. "Yeah, you're right," he says, his voice firmer now as if he's trying to convince himself. "No strings, just... fun." He reaches out, his finger tracing my jawline. "And great sex," he adds, his eyes glinting with a hint of mischief. 
"Exactly," I nod with a small smile.
"I like the way you think," he says, pulling me close once more and bringing his lips back to my neck. "Let's not think about anything else," he whispers, his hands roaming over my body again, reigniting the flames between us. "Let's just focus on us, on this moment..." His voice trails off as he loses himself in the sensations, his body moving against mine with a renewed sense of urgency. 
Nothing more is said on the topic. Instead, we lose ourselves in the heat of pleasure again. 
†※†※†※†※†※†※†※†※†※†
Not long after Luke leaves and I'm retying my robe, Sarah comes knocking at my door.
"Come in," I call out.
"Dude... are you good? My music couldn't even drown that out," she laughs as she opens my door. 
"I'm great," I laugh as well. 
She walks inside my room, a mischievous grin on her face, as she takes in my disheveled appearance. "Oh, I can tell," she says as she raises an eyebrow. "You look like you just had a really good time." She plops down on the edge of the bed, not even bothered by the wrinkled covers. "Was it worth the noise complaint?" she teases, nudging me with her foot.
I grimace at the comment. "Oops... Well, yeah, I'd say so."
She laughs, shaking her head in mock disapproval. "You're so loud, girl. I'm surprised the whole building didn't hear you." She leans back on her elbows, a smirk on her face. "I'm guessing that Luke is quite the performer?"
"You'd be guessing correctly," I admit, flopping onto my back on the bed and looking up at the ceiling. "He made me come like three times before he even fucked me."
Sarah lets out a low whistle, impressed. "Damn, Lex. That's dedication." She rolls onto her side, propping her head up with her hand, as she looks at me with a mixture of envy and admiration. "You must be walking on cloud nine right now. I can't believe you're still awake, honestly. I would've been knocked out for at least an hour after that kind of marathon." 
"I was going to get a shower and then die in my bed," I laugh. "Can't exactly fall asleep with him, ya know?"
She laughs, shaking her head. "Yeah, I get it. No falling asleep in the arms of a hot, sweaty rockstar. That would be too cliché," she teases. "But seriously, Lex, you're playing a dangerous game. I hope you know what you're doing."
My mind flashes back to the slight difference I saw earlier tonight, but I shake it off and look over at Sarah. "It's fine. We both know what we got into."
Sarah raises an eyebrow, clearly sensing something in my expression. Goddamn best friend senses. "Are you sure about that? What's going on in that head of yours?"
"Nothing, nothing. He just... said things tonight that weren't strictly sexual. But I'm not attached, it was just surprising."
She nods slowly. "I see. Words can be just as dangerous as actions, especially when they're from someone who's been hurt before... I'm here for you, no matter what, but... I think it's worth considering that maybe Luke isn't as unaffected by this arrangement as he wants to appear."
"You think I should end it?"
Sarah hesitates, her expression torn as she considers my options. "I think you should be careful. You're both adults and free to make your own choices. But I also think it's important to consider the potential consequences of this... arrangement." She pauses before continuing in a gentler tone. "From what I've read up on, Luke seems like a good guy, but one that's been through a lot. Plenty of those guys never recover and just break hearts because they can't move on. I don't want you to fall for someone who can't give you what you need."
"You know more about him than I do," I laugh. "I think that's a good sign."
She smiles, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "I guess my research paid off. I just want you to be cognizant of the risks you're taking. And if things get too complicated, I want you to talk to me. It's also important to remember you have no idea what's going on in that head of his."
I sigh dramatically, feeling like she's overreacting. "If it makes you feel any better, I offered to end it earlier. He said no."
Sarah's expression turns thoughtful, her eyes narrowing slightly. "He said no, huh? That's interesting," she says, her voice laced with curiosity. "It sounds like he's more invested in this arrangement than he wants to admit." She pauses, her eyes studying me. "Or maybe he's just not ready to let go of the distraction."
Her words are gentle, but they hit a nerve that makes me question the possibilities behind Luke's rejection. I shrug, pushing back the feeling. "I'm probably just a great distraction. I'm okay with that."
Sarah raises an eyebrow, clearly not convinced with my nonchalant attitude. "Sure, Lex, a great distraction," she says, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Because nothing says 'no strings attached' like being a great distraction." She sits up and then gets to her feet. "Hey, if you want to keep telling yourself, go ahead. Just don't come crying to me when your heart gets involved."
I roll my eyes at her final comment. "Whatever."
Her laugh fills the room. "That's the spirit. Keep pretending you won't ever feel anything for him and maybe you'll actually convince yourself." Sarah winks at me, a knowing smirk on her face. "Just remember, I'm always here to listen when you're ready to talk about the elephant in the room... or in this case, the six-foot-something-tall, brown-haired elephant with a killer voice."
I grab a pillow from the headboard side and toss it at her. "Shut up."

Brothers React to the MC Looking at Them Lovingly
This is a personal experiment. This is the very first time I've written one of these with a goal in mind, "Make them fall in love all over again." It's a tall order. I hope I succeeded. 🙏 Special thanks to @a-chaotic-dumbass for picking the mood for this one!
Intro:
We all know that look. The one where one person stares at another like they just realized they're the only thing in the universe and they're in fucking awe of it. The kind of look that tells you they're utterly enthralled by that other person and just can't get enough of their presence. That look. Yeah, the brothers just got that look out of the MC.
Let's warm some cold hearts, everybody.
Lucifer
Lucifer was always beautiful. Always has been, as an angel or a demon.
A morning star is one that outshines all the rest. It stands out when the other stars have dimmed, holding onto its luster in defiance of the sun. 
There couldn't be a truer title for Lucifer to have. Not the horrors of war nor the fires of Hell could tarnish his radiance in any way

But there were moments, like right then, where the MC caught a glimpse of a different sort of Lucifer.
His brothers would often only see the uptight Lucifer, the practiced visage of perfection that he tried so hard to keep up
 
But after a long day, when he thinks he's alone, he retires to his room to listen to his music and the difference is astonishing.
There's something so entrancingly calm about him
 How the light of the fireplace flickers and dances across his alabaster skin to the subtle slouch of his posture. His face no longer marred by creases of stress and frustration
 
And his expression is so pure
 So tranquil and at peace
 Beauty without effort. A shine that can't be ignored. A morning star, in the truest sense of the word

It took awhile for Lucifer to see the MC leaning against his doorframe.
They were staring at him with the oddest look
 Smiling like they were enraptured by something, but he didn't have a clue why. He was just sitting there

So, naturally, he turned to suspicion.
"Am I really that amusing
?"
Frankly, he wasn’t prepared for the little laugh they let out in response.
"Mm? No, no... I'm just always so amazed by you, is all. I'll leave you to your music..."
Having thoroughly ruined the mood, the MC then turned to leave. But Lucifer was already upon them before they could step away, wrapping his arms around their waist and letting contented hum escape his chest.
"Going so soon
?"
Apparently he appreciated the compliment.
Mammon
He didn't have to do it.
When Belphie bumped into one of the House's vases, shattering it against the tile, he didn’t have to take the fall for it.
It wasn’t connected to him at all. He could have stayed quiet and no one would have pointed a finger at him for once.
But he did.
When Mammon set his phone down on the table, MC knew instantly that he had lied in the chat.
He was with them the entire day, he didn't have the time to accidentally break a vase. He hadn't even gone down that hallway all day...
But he said something anyway.
And he didn't even look fazed. He didn't turn towards them seeking approval nor did he look irritated that Belphie didn't speak up. He didn't curse at himself for doing something so self-sacrificing either...
When Mammon leaned back into the cushion of his couch, the MC saw something truly remarkable on his face
 A smile. A small one, sure, but relaxed
 
Assured in his own actions. Confident in his choice and accepting the consequences
 undeserved, and likely thankless, they may be.
A genuine, serene smile

Mammon wasn't sure what he expected to see when he turned to the MC. Probably confusion or disbelief that he, the Great Mammon, could be so selfless.
Definitely not the awed, lovestruck look he got...
"G-gah!" He panicked slightly and pressed himself back against the armrest of the couch in shock. "Wh-... What'cha lookin at me like that for??"
When the MC didn't answer after a few seconds and just kept staring, he honestly didn't know what to do. Were they broken or something??
"Oi, MC! I asked ya wh-Hey wait a minute!!"
He made a noise between a yelp and a shout when the MC leapt forward and latched their arms onto him. What had gotten into them??
"U-uh
 MC? MC?? Damnit MC, answer me already!! Or at least stop squeezin so tight!!... MC!!!"
Leviathan 
To anyone else, it was just Levi being Levi.
He had finished a new episode of his latest animated obsession and he had to share it with someone. Anyone would do, but the MC was always willing to lend an ear.
Something about Levi really changes when he talks about his passions
 It's like he comes alive in a whole new way.
He speaks at a mile-a-minute, but that's because he's so excited the words fly from his mouth. 
Some part of him is always bouncing, be it his leg or body. Sometimes even his tail will swish and curl behind him like an ecstatic puppy. And his eyes
 
Citrine pools that glimmer and dilate from the exhilaration of it all. It's his little world and anyone can see he's thrilled to be sharing it. 
You'd never know he was shy. You'd never think he'd look down himself. You'd never guess that he hid himself away
 Why would someone so full of passion and life ever want to? Some things are just too beautiful to keep hidden...
Levi had only gotten six minutes into his latest rant before he finally registered how the MC was staring at him

This man has seen enough shoujo to know what that look means and it shut him up sooo quick. If anyone else were in the room they would have seen a beet-red Levi desperately trying to hide his face.
"M-MC
! S-top staring at me like that
!!"
"Like what~?" 
He didn't have to look at them to hear the teasing lilt in their voice.
"MC
" He peeked out from behind his fingers to see them still staring and covered himself up more vigorously. "Stoooop
!!!"
But secretly? He wished they'd never stop. His cheeks may have been red from embarrassment, but his heart was trying to hammer its way out of his chest to hug them itself. Hell, he'd have happily given it over to them if they'd asked

Please just let those loving eyes be for him and him alone...
Satan
Soft isn't exactly a word anybody would use to describe Satan, least of all himself.
His anger was quick to spark, his strength was nothing to scoff at, and even his smiles were nothing but plastic for nearly all of his existence

Nearly.
The MC learned surprisingly quick that there was one thing that could bypass all of the hidden ferocity to Satan's personality. Something that could make him melt like butter in the summer sun

Satan had always looked a little cute when he was reading. He was easily at his most expressive when engrossed in a thrilling story or deeply intrigued by something he found between the pages of a book

But watching Satan read about cats, as he was right then, was really something else entirely.
Maybe it was the way his emerald eyes would sparkle or the lopsided grin he just couldn't hide as he would scan the pages about the playful habits of Bengals or the relaxed nature of Ragdolls

Maybe it was the sheer impassioned dedication he took the subject, pouring countless hours into collecting and memorizing every fact he could from their diets to coat maintenance.
Or maybe it was the sheer fact that anytime he saw a picture of kitty in-print he looked like a besotted schoolgirl drawing hearts around her crush in a teen magazine.
Really, who's to say? But to the MC, it was proof that under all that anger, there was a tender, loving center even for the smallest, softest creatures

Satan automatically snapped his book closed when he saw MC watching him from behind a bookshelves. Caught red-handed

He knows exactly how he looks when he's doing his research internally squealing over cat pictures so he tries to do so in private...
He was about to sputter out a defensive explanation but then he registered their face

He'd seen that look described in stories, romance novels mostly, but he'd rarely seen it in action
 and never once leveled at him with such intensity

Not to be cliche, but frankly his heart skipped a beat.
Satan forgot about his book briefly and got up to close the distance between them, tilting their chin up to keep their eyes on him.
"Like something that you see, Kitten?"
"You could say that
"
He laughed at their attempt to play coy, but let it slide just this once
 Easy to do with them looking at him so amorously.
Asmodeus 
Asmo is a very popular demon. Someone so free ought to know quite a lot of people, after all.
And, of course, he had plenty of fans. He made DevilTube videos, hosted radio shows, fashion designed, and even modeled.
So it wasn't very surprising when a young demoness stopped him while he and the MC were out shopping. It wasn’t the first time he had been asked to sign autographs, but this meeting
 it was different.
It was clear to them both that this girl was shy. Though she held out the paper, her eyes stayed firmly on the ground and she stumbled on her question
 She likely a fan from afar, but everything about her seemed meek
 unassuming.
Most people would have just gave the autograph then went on with their day. The interaction could have taken five seconds at most
 but not Asmo.
He asked her name
 where she was from, how she was feeling, her favorite foods, outfits, makeup, you name it. All with investment.
It was amazing to watch the shy young woman slowly open up, getting more bright and cheerful with each passing question until it evolved into a healthy conversation.
When their little meeting finally wrapped up, he gave her back the paper (now signed) but also fished out a bottle of perfume from among the mountains of bags he was carrying. He gave it to her and wouldn't hear anything to the contrary, he could always buy another.
None of his brothers ever gave Asmo enough credit for his giving nature
 even if he had his own way of going about it. Though he cared so much about image and his ability to shine, he never hesitated to make sure that the people around him shined too...
Asmo waved to the fan as she scampered away and was about to  apologize to the MC when he saw their face

The man knows this look well. He's seen it a billion times, though it was particularly cute coming from them.
"Awww MC! Taken by my beauty are you~?"
He was about ready to kiss their cheek when they responded.
"No, not your looks, Asmo
 with you."

 Oh.
It was very rare to see Asmo speechless, but for a few seconds his mind seemed to take in their words
 letting them fully sink in before his heart utterly melting.
Oh MC
 His sweet MC!!
Asmo ended up dropping the rest of his bags just so he could properly litter his human in nuzzles and kisses, the both of them humming and giggling in delight despite their shameless PDA.
Of course it would be his MC to see that part in himself
 Who else would take the time?
Beelzebub 
Food is a precious resource to Beel. For him, it's a lifeline. A good meal could save him from the brink of starvation

But that still doesn't make him incapable of sharing from time to time.
He and the MC were walking back to the House after getting takeout from Hell's Kitchen. Beel hadn't even waited until they left the restaurant to start eating his share, spilling the smell of fresh food into the air around them

Things were going fine on their route back until they heard whimpering behind them

A hellhound puppy, not quite old enough to bear its fangs, seemingly followed them as they were walking
 It looked like it had been out for some time and eyed their food with hungry eyes, but weak posture. Who knows when it last had a meal?
The MC was about to tug at Beel's sleeve and say something, but their demon was ahead of them this time.
A casual observer might have gawked at the sight of Gluttony kneeling down to offer such a lowly creature a sandwich. But the MC knew better. When you spend your whole life hungry, nobody more than you understands that kind of pain in someone else. 
This reaction wasn't out of character for Beel, it was elementary.
And when the puppy finished its meal and covered Beel's cheeks with appreciative licks, he just laughed and scratched behind its ears. Amethyst eyes looking more relieved at its health than disappointed he lost some of his lunch...
Food was Beel's lifeline, but kindness is what made him who he was

When the pup finally scampered off, Beel looked over at the MC to tell them it'd be alright and saw their face

He wasn't really sure what they were staring at
 Did he have something between his teeth again?
"MC? Are you okay...?"
They laughed at him for some reason but pulled him in for a hug so they must have meant well.
"You're so sweet, Beel
"
Beel's never one to refuse a compliment so he just hugged them back, beaming.
"Thank you, MC
"
Belphegor 
To say that Belphegor tended to be on the melancholic side would be an understatement
 It wasn’t that he was incapable of expressing joy, it was just harder for him to do than most. Not helped, of course, by his tendency to keep his true feelings vague and hard to pinpoint.
But on those rare occasions where he was overjoyed
 Belphie could really be something special

The MC and Belphie were attending one of Beel's games and it was a tight one
 Both teams had spent most of it tied and Beel's team was running out of time to overtake that slim margin.
Belphie had always been a supporter of his twin's athletics, but this time it was tense even for him. He kept on the edge of his seat and didn't even nod off during the breaks like he normally would
 The MC could just tell how nervous he was for Beel

But right as the time was about to run out, Beel made a last minute score and sure, the whole field erupted, but Belphie? Belphie hollered.
The normally sleepy and mellow demon was on his feet in an instant and practically shredding his vocal chords in excitement. If his tail had been out, it would have been beating against the bleachers like a war-drum. And his expression?
Belphie's smile is said to stop hearts for a reason. When he puts his all into a grin it's almost like he ascends to Heaven once more, as pure as an angel's choir and as warm as a summer's breeze
 Nothing in his eyes but pride and adoration for his beloved twin brother.
Truly, a heartwarming sight to behold

Belphie didn't calm down until the rest of the crowd settled and was about to point out Beel's skill to the MC when he noticed their face.

 oh no
 Why do they look so sappy
?
"You really love your brother, don't you?"
Belphie quickly hid his thoughts behind an irritated frown and plopped back down in his seat
 but that didn't shield them from seeing his pink cheeks.
"Of course I do. What kind of question is that?"
He debated just joining Beel on the field to hide his embarrassment when he heard them snicker back.
"Yeah, you're right
 Don't mind me."
Oh he minded. He minded a lot that he let his carefully veiled image slip like that. But thinking back to that smile on their face
?
Maybe being a little open wasn't so bad after all...

Part One - Part Two - Part Three - Part Four - Part Five
pairing: musician! single dad! Yuta Nakamoto x researcher! Y/N  chapter word count: 3.4k words genre: chaptered, angst, little fluff  summary: What Keiko wants, Keiko gets.    warnings: cursing, an expected cliché plot twist  taglist: @nuoyipeach @nominsgirl @what-sarah @anntheboneless @ytzvivi @nctcafe @channie301 @a-bts-world
Dropping this before I disappear and flood myself to crying. Please enjoy. Last part will be posted on Friday. ❀
You kept on pacing back and forth, biting your thumb, waiting in the hallways of your apartment building. What is wrong with Yuta? Why does he sound so broken? You're worried. What if something happened? What if it's about Keiko? 
You knew you shouldn't get invested. Heck, Yuta even doesn't want you to. That is probably why he put a boundary in your relationship. Then why are you so worried right now? 
Maybe you should just wait for him inside. Pretend that you're not worried. Yeah, you'll do that. 
But as you opened the door to your unit, the elevator pinged to your floor. You turned to see the man you haven't seen for days. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he came from a lot of crying. His face was so pale that it looked so ghostly. He looked like a mess and your heart breaks seeing him like this. 
In instinct, you stepped forward and put a hand on his cheek. "What's wrong? Are you alright?" 
He placed his freezing cold hand on top of yours. "You are so warm." You wanted to roll your eyes and tell him that you're alive. But he probably doesn't need all the sarcasm. "Can I hug you?" 
You nodded before you can think of anything else. He carefully wrapped his arms around you, pulling you close and breathing hard on your neck. Your fingers thread on his hair, the other hand tapping her back. Should you tell him that it's alright? But what if it isn't? Should you just let him hug you here? Outside your apartment? Or let him inside? 
"I'm sorry, Y/N." he whispered and the patting stopped. What is he apologizing for? "I know you heard me and Mari." You held your breath for what he would say next. Did he cry just because of that? "I was so scared that they'll hate Keiko even more." 
"Hate Keiko?" 
He let go of the hug and you pouted at the sudden coldness between the two of you. Yuta's eyes stared at you with the same warmth as his hug. "They blamed Keiko for the death of Misa." You stared at him in confusion. Who is Misa? And why would they blame a young child over her death? "Misa is Mari's younger sister. Misa is Keiko's mom." 
-----
Yuta was breathing hard, seated on your couch as you brought out a glass of water for him. He thanked you before drinking the water in one gulp. You sat beside him, body facing him as he continued his story about the girl he first loved. Misa, the actress' younger sister. Keiko's mom. Yuta's first love. 
You thought it would pain you, hearing how he adores and loves her. But the smile in his eyes while sharing everything, from the moment he first laid eyes on her and the time she agreed to be her girlfriend, made your heart beat rapidly in your chest. He's happy. A different side that you saw from him. A side that made you fall deeply. You cannot escape these feelings now. 
"I was a struggling musician and her life was laid out in front of her. Yet, she chose to be with me." 
"When they found out Misa was pregnant they wanted to abort the child. She also wanted the same thing, scared that her parents would hate her." You gasped. He's talking about Keiko right? "But I convinced her to keep the child. I promised her that I'll take care of them. That I'll do everything for them." 
But he didn't fulfill that promise to her, you found out. That's why he's doing his absolute best for Keiko. 
"I can still remember the looks of contempt they had when Keiko left the prenatal ward, even the curses they threw at her." He whispered with a pained smile that made you breathe heavily. How heartbreaking. "I'm fine with them blaming me, it was my fault anyway. But Keiko didn't do anything wrong." 
"I erased them in Keiko's life but it was me who cannot erase her in my life." 
Now, you understand everything. That time he didn't call you after you kissed. Saying that you're just friends in front of Keiko's aunt. It all makes perfect sense now. 
He's just protecting his daughter. 
"I got so scared that if they found out I've moved on from Misa, they'll hate Keiko more." You're now sure Yuta still loves Keiko's mom, not just the way you expected it to be. "I don't know what to do. I know I'm at fault but I just want them to like Keiko, she's her daughter still." 
All this time he only thinks about Keiko.
"I'm going to tell Keiko everything about her mom. I can't get her back but hopefully, Keiko can understand everything." You nodded. That is probably the best thing he can do for now. And knowing how smart Keiko is, you're sure Yuta wouldn't have a hard time explaining things to her. "Then," he moved closer to you. "I'm going to chase my happiness and run to you." 
"Me?" 
He slipped his hand on yours, fingers playing with your fingers. It might really be a habit of his. "I want to be with you, Y/N." You held your breath and he giggled while staring at you. "You complete me and Keiko."
You leaned your head on his shoulder, preventing yourself from looking at his face. You're scared that you might die of a heart attack when you keep gazing at his face. How can he be so perfect? Your heart can't take it anymore. "Y/N," he called and you hummed. "This is a selfish request but please wait for me." 
You lifted your head to look at him, faces centimeters apart from each other that you can easily feel the warmth of his breath. Your heart kept stammering in your chest as he stared at you warmly, waiting for an answer. You gulped before smiling timidly at him, "I'll patiently wait for you, Yuta." 
"Even if I have a plus one?" 
You giggled then whispered in a playful voice, "For the record, you are the plus one." Yuta poked your side, tickling you. 
He asked if he could crash your couch, explaining that he doesn't want his daughter to see him in his state now. You agreed and even offered to just share the bed which made him skeptical at first. It's not like you've never shared a bed before. In the end, he gave in and promised that he wouldn't do anything weird. 
He called his mom, asking if she could watch over Keiko for the night. Yuta didn't even specify that you're together and you didn't care. He slept soundly the moment he lay on your bed and you realized that it must be from all the crying he did earlier. You just pulled the blanket up to cover his body and he snuggled on the pillow that made you smile. 
He looks like a baby, it's so cute. A new side to Yuta. 
Although you have enough space left on the bed, you settled on sitting on a chair with a book in your hand. It was late at night, almost midnight, but sleep can't even come to you. You hate your body clock and the repeated loss of sleep that made you like this. 
You glanced at the man sleeping on your bed, face heating up while watching him breathe lightly. He's been through a lot. You didn't expect that he would have these hardships as a single parent. He didn't deserve all the pain that he had been through. He only cares about his daughter. And that is just admirable. 
If you thought you liked him before. Well, the likeness level just reached a maximum high now. You might already be in love with him. 
You weren't a good cook, evidence is the ready-to-eat foods in your pantry. But you just had to disturb your mom, early in the morning, to ask how to cook fried rice. She sounded surprised, even asking if you were sick, at the thought of you cooking. Yet you shrugged off all her teasings. 
You just wanted to cook something edible for Yuta.
The rice was just sizzling when you felt someone hug you from behind. "I didn't know you could cook." His head leaned on your shoulder and you smiled gesturing to the written instructions taped on the wall. "It smells good." 
“I can’t assure you of how it tastes though.”
“I’ll still eat it even if you poison me.” You glared at him and he chuckled. 
He fulfilled his promise and ate the fried rice you made even if you were too nervous to look at him. You shouldn't have cooked and just ordered take-out. What if it tastes nothing like the fried rice you know? What if it's too salty? What if you kill him? “This is good.” 
You stared at him in surprise and he repeated the same words he said while humming in delight. Your eyes lit up at that, grinning widely. You had to repeatedly ask him if he was sure that it was edible and he nodded, assuring you. “I like it.” 
You breathed a sigh of relief and grinned to yourself. You're not going to poison a person because of your cooking skills. Maybe you have a talent for cooking. “I realized this is the first time someone cooked for me. My mom always asks me to cook for her whenever we’re at their house.”  
“Because you’re a great cook.” You complimented, even telling him how you loved the burger steak he made during Keiko's birthday. When you realized what he meant from his words, you just gave him a reassuring smile. 
It’s always him taking care of everyone: his parents, maybe Misa, especially Keiko. Maybe what he needed the most is someone taking care of him. It’s not bad to spoil him once in a while. “Should I start learning how to cook so I can make you something?” 
Yuta smiled, “I can teach you.” 
----
You weren’t exactly sure why he asked you to come with him. True, his reason is Keiko but you can still meet her next time. You only reasoned out that you cannot leave him alone in his state. Yuta complimented your shoes and you giggled, "It's comfortable. I haven't thanked you for the shoes yet." 
He rubbed his thumb on yours, fingers laced with each other. "I'm glad you liked it." You smiled, you loved it. 
When you both arrived at his place, you were momentarily stunned when a woman in her early fifties opened the door. Yuta introduced her as his mom and you quickly removed your hand from his hold, greeting her. “Keiko had told me a lot of things about you, Y/N.” She did? You hoped they were good things. “And Yuta is rather fond of you.” The mentioned guy just smiled at his mom. 
“Mom, did you already eat? There’s fried rice cooked by Y/N.” 
“I have to meet your dad in an hour,” she claimed then smiled at you. “I would love to talk to you more but I have to go.” You only nodded, smiling at her. Well, this is awkward. “Oh, and Yuta.” She called the person who went inside the kitchen. “Keiko kept on crying last night. She said her toy unicorn was broken.”  
You glanced at the robot unicorn on the living room table. The reason why you met Keiko and Yuta in the first place. “I’ll take care of it.” You said quickly just to divert your attention to something else. 
Quiet murmurs can be heard in the kitchen where the mom and son are. It made you self-conscious if they were talking about you. But you only shook your head while checking the robot unicorn. Focus Y/N! 
The voice of the unicorn echoed through the room and realized that it was Keiko’s recorded voice in a hushed tone, “I hope Y/N unnie and daddy can be together. I really want to have a mom.” Your heart swelled at that. She sounded so desperate, as if it was her prayers. Maybe Keiko is really yearning for a motherly love in her life. She’s the same as her dad, yearning for someone to take care of her. 
Are you even ready to do this? You know you cannot replace Keiko's mom and Yuta's first love. Will Keiko still want you in her life if she finds out about her mom? 
“Unnie!” Keiko shouted that made you look at her from above the stairs. She started running down, her grandmother shouting to be careful, before hugging you tight. The huge unicorn plush she was hugging earlier, the one you gave to her on her birthday, was left on the floor. “You’re here!” she squealed and you nodded, hugging her. 
You saw Yuta smiling at you, his mom having the same expression as her son. "I don't want you and daddy to fight again." 
Maybe you underestimate Keiko's adoration of you. You didn't know she would be greatly affected by what happened. You're the adults but the two of you are acting like children, hurting the real child. "I promise your dad and I won't fight again." 
His mom left and you were just hanging out with Keiko and Yuta in their house. You watched Keiko's favorite movies and even jammed in the songs they sing to each other. Keiko had the same talent as Yuta, you realized. They are both musically inclined and both really charming. You braided Keiko's hair and even asked for her help in cooking lunch. Like a mother and daughter bond. 
That night, Yuta cooked dinner that stunned you and Keiko. It was a simple chicken dish yet the meat was so tender and flavorful. “You can open a restaurant.” But Yuta just shook his head while smiling, “It’s a lot of work. I’d rather just cook for you and Kei.” 
You smiled at the thought. He included you in his future plans.  
Keiko convinced you to sleep in their place even if you told her that you have work tomorrow. You were wearing the same clothes you wore the first night you slept in their house, the unicorn hoodie that is the same as Keiko's and Yuta's sweatpants. "I'll clean my drawer tomorrow and give you space so you can keep your clothes here, unnie." You giggled at her idea. Does that mean she's expecting you to sleep in their place all the time? That's not entirely bad but it is somewhat scary being under the same roof as Yuta. Even wearing these clothes makes you remember that night you kissed. 
You and Keiko were both settled in bed when there was a knock on the door and Yuta entered carrying his pillow. “I’m scared to sleep alone.” Keiko laughed at her dad. 
It was a warm feeling. You didn't know why you were sandwiched between Keiko and Yuta, both of them hugging you as they sleep. A warm feeling that you don’t want to trade for anything in the world. Even if it meant your job. 
You were a whining mess, along with Keiko who kept on telling you to not go to work and just stay with her. Yuta made you an amazing breakfast and promised that they’ll visit you at work during lunch. The only motivation you had so you could come to work. 
-------
Taeil kept on laughing while watching you tap your foot, staring at the clock to turn noon. “You’re so in love with this boy.” He teased and you just pouted. The clock signaled that it was lunchtime and you hurried to get to the elevator, your co-worker’s laugh echoing at your floor. 
The younger girl was already running to you when you went out of the elevator, handing you a single sunflower. “Daddy bought it for you,” Yuta smiled when you thanked him. “Can we eat grilled pork today?” You nodded, holding her hand while exiting the building of your work. 
Yuta volunteered to grill the pork, rolling his sleeves that made you bite your fork at the sight of his veiny arm. He’s just so sexy even if he’s doing the small things. You’re not even sure if it was the atmosphere of the restaurant or the want for him that made you feel hot. When you glanced at him, he was staring knowingly at you. Fuck! He caught you. 
“Unnie, do you want some ice cream?” Keiko asked and you nodded, something to ease the heat you’re feeling. 
But you realized it was wrong when the younger girl left you and Yuta on the table. “She’s really a grown-up.” You turned to Yuta who was staring at his daughter in admiration. He looked so happy looking at Keiko. You cannot explain it, must be the way fathers stare at their daughters. He looked so charming with that expression on his face. “Why are you looking at me like that?” 
You giggled then took a slice of the pork he finished grilling then meticulously wrapped it in vegetables. “I just realized something.” You put the wrapped pork on his plate and he smiled. “I might have a thing for dads.”
“Well, you don’t have to look too far,” Yuta claimed while putting the well-grilled pork on your plate. “You can call me daddy.” You chuckled. 
A thud can be heard and you both turned to check on Keiko, surprised that she was already sitting on the floor with ice-cream smeared on her clothes. You immediately stood up but Yuta is a step ahead of you, picking his daughter up and bowing at the older woman she might have bumped into. But Yuta’s face changed the moment the older woman called his name. You saw how her gaze fell at Keiko then at Yuta. 
There was an ominous feeling. Like something bad will happen. “Y/N, let’s go,” Yuta said in monotone and you immediately took Keiko’s jacket hanging on the chair before leaving some bills on the table. The same woman followed you with a look as if memorizing your face, making you shiver at the creepiness. When Yuta held your hand, you saw how her lips smirked. 
No, it cannot be. Yuta just finished his breakdown. He just breathed in relief. He's just slowly getting happy again. Why must this happen?
“I’ll call you,” Yuta claimed when they dropped you at your work. Keiko gave you a hug, smiling. “I’ll wait for your call.” 
And it was all that you could do. Wait.    
Wait for a call that didn’t come. Wait for Yuta to clear his head. 
All you can do is wait. 
It was another sleepless night because of all the work and all the waiting. You didn’t even realize that it was morning if not for the sudden ringing of the phone beside your computer. The reception is usually closed at night and would just open in the morning. “Ms. Y/N, someone is here to see you.” You glanced at the time on your computer, isn’t it too early? Who is it? “And please bring your wallet.” From the background, you can hear a child crying. Keiko? 
You were tapping your foot while waiting for the elevator to reach the lobby. You’re sure it was Keiko. But what is she doing here this early morning? Where is Yuta? Did something wrong happen? She cried louder when she saw you, wrapping her arms around you. An older man, probably in his late forties, approached you and asked if you were her mom. “I was surprised when she went into the cab crying. She said I should bring her here to see you.” You thanked him and even paid extra for his service and bringing Keiko to your office safely. 
“Keiko,” you whispered, letting her sit on the lobby couch. “Why did you come here? Where’s your dad?” She kept on sobbing while you tried to hush her up. She was still in her pajamas, her hair looking unruly as if she had just woken up. “What you did was dangerous, Kei. What if
?” 
“He's going to send me away.” You stared at her in confusion. Send her away? “Unnie, please save me.” She wrapped her little arms around your neck, sobbing on your shoulder. 
You tapped her back, brushing the end of her hair. “Keiko, Yuta wouldn’t do that. He might be worried, I’ll call your dad.” 
But she stopped you, followed by the words that woke you up completely.  
“Yuta is not my real dad.”

Summary: Jungkook was a hopeless romantic believing in love at first sight- and then there was you, a bunny experiencing the tiny treasures of life for the first time. Together, with him.
Tumblr media
It's busy in Jungkooks apartment- something thats unusual, considering that technically, the young man lives alone, doesn't really fuck around, and works at home as well ever since he took on the job as a web-designer. There was no reason to cause such an amount of stress in his home- other than the simple fact of his best friend currently pacing around, steps so fast and hard that Jungkook scared his flooring would soon melt underneath the older ones shoes he didn't take off in a rush. There were bags on his couch, bags on his counter, and a backpack somewhere in his living room- all because of;
"Okay so, she's okay with eating almost everything BUT!" Taehyung holds his finger up as if he's lecturing a child in front of him- which he's not, Jungkook is a full grown adult at this point, and looks at him unimpressed with furrowed brows as his older friend lists up things he needs to keep in mind for the hybrid he's looking after for the day. "Please make sure she's hydrated, she tends to forget to drink during the day. If she does and gets a headache there's medication in the bag that I've put on the couch- you've seen it right? Should I show you again?" He stresses, and Jungkook holds his friend's shoulders for a moment.
"Can you like, breathe for a moment please?" He says, and Taehyung nods, following the instructions for a moment before Jungkook continues. "Okay great. Now that you're not hyperventilating anymore I can tell you that yes, I've seen the bag-" He says, pointing towards the couch that's littered with so many things it seems like he's giving the hybrid up for adoption today instead of just dropping her off until tomorrow. "Second of all, I've taken care of Yoongi before and he's still alive, what's so different? Just because she's a bunny- or was it hare- wait is there a difference..?" Jungkook drawls off, suddenly thinking and not quite remembering if he's ever quite asked himself the difference of these two things. Taehyung however seems offended by that.
"Jungkook, she's a BUNNY, not a hare! That's a HUGE difference!" He whines out, and Jungkook looks at him a bit sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "Oh god maybe I shouldn't go, this is a bad idea.." He says, already taking out his phone to cancel the date he has tonight, but jungkook holds the elders friend before he can make that mistake. Taehyung was a busy man, running a hybrid rehabilitation center in Seoul and Daegu- while talking to Busan's department for partnership. He really loves his job- but sometimes he gets too invested in it, just like now. He's finally got a date for himself after years of being alone; but he almost shot the poor woman down when he remembered that you, a newly rescued hybrid was staying at his home- something he never did before. Sure, he had taken over the rehabilitation of hybrids before, but he had never ever taken a case home with him. But after meeting you, seeing you, and knowing what you've been put through, his heart simply couldn't leave you at the shelter- even though he knew that it was probably the best place to be for you. But he had done what he had done now- there was no turning back with you. He couldn't leave you alone yet, so Jungkook had volunteered to look after you for the day and night, until Taehyung would pick you up the next day. The younger one had always looked after Yoongi, a cat hybrid later on adopted by Jung Hoseok, a friend of both of them; so he personally felt good about taking you in.
It was just for a day- what could go wrong?
"Come on, don't you trust me? Or is she like, super aggressive or something?" Jungkook asks, and Taehyung sighs. He hasn't told the younger one much about you, believing it was bad karma to talk about others when they weren't present. Yet this time he'd have to make an exception- because Jungkook needed to know at least some things about you and where you came from. Everything else would be unfair.
Taehyung sighed. "She's a category 3, so she's still recovering from her past home. She's just.. super shy and timid, and gets scared pretty easily so, I'm just terrified Jungkook. I know you don't want to cause any harm, but what if something happens and she just falls back? She's come so far these days, you should've seen her when I got her.." He said, and Jungkook looked at him- the eyes of the younger serious, reminding Taehyung that deep inside, he was more than just a schoolfriend. "When she got to me, she didn't even know how to use cutlery Kook. She.." But Jungkook smiled, placing a hand to his friend's shoulder in reassurance.
"I get it. I'll do my best, okay?" He says. "I promise I'll call you as soon as something's up, okay?" He says, and Taehyung nods. With a small wave he leaves the apartment to pick you up from the shelter- and Jungkook, in exchange, began to rummage through the plastic bags Taehyung had dumped onto his couch.
He was familiar with hybrids to some degree- he never really had owned one, and neither did his family. He knew that his brother owned a dog hybrid, but he had yet to bring him to family gatherings; Jungkook had never seen the puppy hybrid himself. His parents however said that she was nice, and Jungkook never really had any bad experiences with them. He sometimes visited Taehyung at work and conversed with some of the more chatty hybrids.
He was familiar with caring for them to some degree. As already stated before, he'd looked after 'grumpy-cat' Yoongi a lot back in the days when he was still in the center for rehabilitation. Jungkook knew about their different preferences in food, and their different behaviors. He, sadly, also knew about the mistreatment most of the hybrids went through before getting to the center into Taehyungs and his Staff's care- and he always hated it. The stories he sometimes heard made him sleepless during the night, made him research donation websites just to cleanse his mind for the moment.
But it only ever lasted until the next case would turn up at Taehyung's doorstep.
Tumblr media
Quite frankly, Jungkook didn't know what he'd expected. After all, he'd never seen you in person, he simply went after Taehyungs description of you, but what was now standing at his door, was something that erased any thought he may had prior to opening it.
You were so.. delicate? Cute? He's never used the word 'cute' for a person before, because he simply thought aegyo and all of that was something girls put up for a facade of innocence. He hated that with a passion, cringing any time he saw it- yet there was, in his opinion, no other word that described you better. You were just as shy as Taehyung said, yet you forced yourself to bow a little as a greeting, taking a small step back however when Jungkook snapped out of his thoughts and opened the door fully to step aside. He threw a smile your way, hoping it could ease your nerves a little- and it seemed to work, because he saw your lips turn a bit upwards into a shy smile.
He felt as if he'd just won a ranked overwatch match against the seoul dynasty.
"Okay, I'm gonna pick you up tomorrow ASAP, okay? Are you gonna be fine here?" Taehyung asked you, and you looked over his shoulder- your bright eyes meeting Jungkooks, who was leaning against his kitchen counter, smiling boyishly while waving a little. It made you feel okay; he seemed nice enough, and after all, any friend of Taehyungs was a friend of yours. He'd taught you that. So you nodded, and Taehyung smiled, patting your head for a moment, your ears flopping to the sides before standing upright again after his hand left you. He waved goodbye and seemed a bit reluctant to leave- but you knew that Taehyung was excited for his date. He'd talked about nothing else these past days, and it made you happy to see him so giddy over something.
"So." Jungkook started, his voice fitting him, you thought. He looked fit, and comfortable to you- his oversized sweater probably big enough for you to hide in. Wait- what was that thought?! You averted your eyes immediately, ears shyly drooping backwards as you began to shuffle your fluffy socks on his wooden floor, the laminate suddenly super interesting. "Taehyung said you should have a nice healthy dinner- but I may forgot to buy groceries, so, is it okay for you to tag along?" He asked. "You can choose what you want to eat while we're at it, too." He said, and you perked up at that.
"I can?" You asked, ears slowly moving into a more confident position again, and he smiled at that achievement.
"Sure!" He exclaimed, and walked towards the door, grabbing his jacket, before he looked at you. You were staring at something- and as he followed your gaze, he saw your shoes. Simple sneakers in colors that fit your current clothes, but, was he connecting the dots correctly? He didn't want to offend you in case you were simply deep in thought, so he simply waited, slipping on his own shoes, as he watched you out of the corner of his eyes.
You really were struggling to tie your shoes.
So he simply sat down on the small step that divided his entrance from the rest of his apartment, and tapped the top of his knee. "Come here, I'll help." He said, and your eyes widened, shaking your head.
"I'll- I'll get your pants dirty.." You said worriedly, but Jungkook shook his head again.
"Don't worry about that." He said, and you hesitantly placed your shoe on his knee with just the very tip- something that made him smile a bit before he placed it down properly, tying the laces quickly.
"Sorry." You apologized, but he shook his head yet again as he tied the other.
"It's fine." He simply said, before you both got up, going outside. "Do you, uhm.." He began, nervously picking on the slight fuzz of his skin against his chin before he finished, by holding his hand out. "You know, so you don't, accidentally get lost or something. Taehyung would kill me." He laughed, and you blushed, before hesitantly taking his larger hand, holding it as he walked to the nearby grocery store with you.
Inside, it was busy as usual- but Taehyung typically didn't take you out during these hours, something about you maybe becoming overloaded by sensations and sounds. You've never been to a grocery like this before though- because while yes, it was a lot, Jungkooks hand never left yours even for a second. He calmly explained things you seemed interested in, and his entire presence calmed you down, even though you didn't really know him at all.
But your instincts were telling you that he was a good person; and until now, they had never been wrong.
"So, which one do you like?" He asked, pulling you from your thoughts as you were drifting off a little. He smiled at you, while you were looking at the shelves, pointing towards a pack of ramen. You've never tried it, but you had been interested when you saw them at Taehyungs place once or twice- however, back then you had been too shy to ask if you could maybe try it sometimes. "Hmm.. you sure about this one? It's pretty spicy sweetheart." He said, letting the petname slip as your ear flinched a bit into his direction, eyes widening a bit. Taehyung sometimes called you sweetheart as well- but somehow, in some weird way, it made you feel all tingly inside hearing it from Jungkook. "Uhm.. maybe, I can buy this one, and this chicken flavoured one- you can taste mine, and if you like it, we can switch. Okay?" He explained, and you nodded, not really listening anymore as you looked at him with an almost fascinated expression.
Taehyung had told you he had never truly taken care of a female hybrid, let alone a rehab-case such as you were. But he seemed so nice, so sweet, it was hard to imagine him not owning a hybrid- or being single. While Taehyung had never outright said that Jungkook was, you assumed so by the hints you noticed here and there. No other scent than his in his home, and you also remember Taehyung teasing the younger yesterday over the phone, saying something that at least Taehyung was getting himself some dating action.
For some weird reason, knowing that Jungkook didn't have a partner made you feel nice.
But then you remembered his words. "But- what will you eat if I eat yours?" You ask, and he shrugs.
"We'll simply switch then. I don't mind." He says, placing both packs in the shopping cart as you watched him. Your old home hadn't been too kind to you, yet you still didn't know anything else than the treatment you got back there. It was still new to you how easy going some people were, how much freedom you actually had. You've seen kids on swings last week, and a girl feeding a stray cat in an alleyway. Those were things you've never seen before.
"Okay, now the fun part." He says, and you look up at him, his head nodding towards something specific.
Icecream.
Your eyes widened seeing all the different packages and flavours, making your ears droop a bit in confusion. You were lost; what should you choose? You didn't know any of these except some flavors Taehyung had at his house. Jungkook, already connecting the dots, opens one of the doors. "Do you like fruity things? I personally like mild flavors, like vanilla." He says, picking a box of two separate containers. "How about this one?" He asks, and you nod excitedly.
"Yes please.!" You say, pretty much vibrating on the spot as Jungkook places the box into the cart, making an elderly lady next to the two of you chuckle.
"So sweet. And great manners too!" She says, before a hybrid walks up to her; his bright orange badge showing that the dog hybrid was a service worker. "Take good care of her, young man, yes?" She says, and Jungkook nods, squeezing your hand a little tighter as you both watch the lady getting escorted towards the cashiering section.
Jungkook had honestly never really thought about taking care of his own hybrid. He always worried that his friend's teasing was actually real- that he was too immature to quite take care of another living being except his own. Depp down he knew of course that he was capable of that, but insecurities sometimes still bit at his soul from the inside. He couldn't do much about that- he was a hopeless person in that department; still believing in love at first sight, and that human-hybrid relationships are nothing weird.He secretly loved romantic dramas, read shƍjo mangas at the bookstore whenever he was too scared to buy them- afraid of being teased for it. He hated perfumes, enjoyed soft smells and fabrics, and even knew how to braid hair. He may looked like a typical muscle-head; with nothing filling his brain apart from protein powder and the need to work out and survive off of energy drinks and leftover cup noodles, but that wasn't really who he was. He simply liked to take care of himself, nothing more. He didn't work out for anyone but himself.
For some reason he enjoyed taking care of you like this. You were so sweet, so cute, that he couldn't help but already feel a little protective of you- that fact having only little to do with Taehyung. Maybe he simply needed a small push into the right direction to finally experience what it was like to have a hybrid, to test out what it was like to live with one.
But he didn't just want a hybrid, he noticed as he watched you carefully place the items of the shopping cart on the cash register, just like he'd asked you to do-
He wanted you.
Tumblr media
He could feel someone staring at him. It was like it was piercing his neck, like laser dots on his skin, and it should freak him out like nothing else if it wasn't for the fact that he knew it couldn't be any other than you. He looked at the pot he was putting water in, the reflection showing your form sneakily watching him from the entrance of the kitchen. He chuckled. "Hm.." He began, dramatically sighing. "I wish there was a certain sweet bunny hybrid here to help me cook.. but I guess she's too busy.." He hummed, as he made sure the water in the pot was enough for one pack, before he turned around, your form now standing a few steps behind him. "Oh?" He said, acting surprised as you shyly smiled.
"Can I help.?" You asked, and he nodded, patting the counter to which you walked, squeaking cutely as he simply turned you around with gentle hands, lifting you up to sit between the stove on one side, and the sink on the other. You'd somehow come to the conclusion already that he was quite strong- but the short taste you got of his strength made your heart race a little. It was instinctively, really; your kind looked for partners with certain attributes, after all. They were supposed to protect you and your offspring at some point- even though that part made you look at your knees in shame, before Jungkook snapped you out of your thoughts before they could sway.
"Can you open the packages for me?" He asks, and you nod, taking them out of his hands and opening the foil carefully. You take out the still hard noodles before the flavor pack falls out, slapping on the floor as it falls down out of your hand. Jungkook however doesn't scold you- simply picks it up and gives it to you, and you look at him for a moment- watching him for any indication that he's mad. But he's not.
It's as if nothing had happened.
So you put the flavor pack and tiny oil package on top of the noodle blocks, so carefully Jungkook has to force himself not to just simply scream from how concentrated you look doing something so simple. "When the water boils, like, when it bubbles a lot, you can put these packs in, alright?" He says, and you nod, as if he's giving you instructions on how to prepare for war. He can't help himself at that moment, grinning so hard his dimples show as he reaches out to pet your head.
It's a little like Taehyung, but it feels a lot different.
With Taehyung, while you do feel safe and comfortable around him, and it feels nice, it's not at all like Jungkook. The younger one makes your heart race. He makes your pride swell, and your eyes sparkle- it's as if you've been given an award for the greatest achievement ever. You almost whine when he lets go.
So you later on put the packs into the boiling water with so much precision, immediately seeking his approval right after, to which he smiles at you. "Good job, Bunny." He says, and pets your head, absentmindedly moving the palm of his hand from the top of your head to instead cradle your cheek. Its such a soft and gentle touch that you almost go limp- closing your eyes and leaning into it. He only notices that when he looks back from the pots- now turned down a bit to a simmer as to not overcook- and his heart surely bursts in that moment.
You look so.. there's no word in Jungkooks head to properly describe the view he has, that image of you in front of him. He can't help himself- begins to trace his thumb against the soft skin, watching your ears relax and flop down. He can't imagine that someone like you could ever be done harm to; and while he doesn't know much about your past, he's sure it hadn't been pretty. It makes him want to just keep you right here, in his apartment, close to him, where he can make sure no one could ever cause you to be upset.
Both of you are abruptly pulled out of your thoughts by his phone ringing, the device so badly placed that it falls down to the floor after vibrating a few seconds. "Fuck!" He exclaims, picking it up and sighing in relief when it turns out to still be without damage. He takes on the call, and on the other side of the line, is Taehyung. He greets his younger friend, instantly asking him if you're okay- if you've eaten yet, drank anything, if you're homesick- all in one breath, it seems. Jungkook chuckles, simply placing a hand on your knee, thumb again tracing a pattern he's unsure of what its supposed to be. The warmth seeps into your skin through the fabric of your clothing. He smiles at you, and for the first time, maybe because you're feeling so.. smitten with him, you smile back. Not just a shy little lift of your lips, but a full on beaming smile, making his hand reach out to brush along your ear- internally gasping at how soft the fur is. How can something be this soft?! "Taehyung, she's fine. We're making ramen right now, she helped me cook, and afterwards we're gonna have icecream and watch a movie or something." He explains, and Taehyung claps back with something along the lines of 'but don't let her have the spicy stuff, she can't handle that-' but the younger one doesn't listen that much anymore. "Yeah yeah, listen, we're fine. Go get your girl, jesus." He laughs, and Taehyung chuckles as well, hanging up after reminding him to get you to bed at a reasonable time- as if you're a child he's taking care of.
Because that's the thing. You're not a child- and in Jungkooks eyes, you're not a pet. You're so sweet and easily interested in the simplest of things, he can't help but wonder if you had any hobbies. Did you like video games? Or drawing? Were you into books- hell, could you even read? He wanted to know so much more about you than just those tiny breadcrumbs of info he had gotten from Taehyung. He dearly hoped that maybe, maybe you would like to see him again after leaving tomorrow. He really hoped.
And as you ate, shaking your head at Jungkooks spicy ramen after tasting the broth a little from his spoon (which he did make sure to blow on as to not have you burn your tongue, bless his heart), he really did hope.
He really hoped that maybe, you felt just as happy around him as he felt around you.
Tumblr media
It seemed that going grocery shopping, cooking, and eating icecream had taken its toll on you. Your eyes were practically falling shut every few seconds, yet you tried to stay awake as much as possible. Jungkook smiled at you, brushing some hair back before he moved your shoulder a bit. "Hey, bunny?" He asked, and you nodded, humming a noise of yes, you heard him. He chuckled. "You'll have to get up baby. I have to prepare the couch for you." Typically, it would be normal to give a guest the bed- if he was being a gentleman. But that was what he was being; because his couch was the most comfortable thing in his entire apartment for that matter. Yet maybe it was the sleep inside your bones making you drowsy, but you shook your head. "Hm?" He asks, and you suddenly move.
You shuffle around, suddenly hugging him tightly, head hidden in his chest as you rub your nose against the soft fabric of his shirt for a moment. "Don't wanna." You complain, and he swears he dies and gets ressurected all at once seven times in total at your next words. "Wanna sleep with 'koo." You drawl, and he knows he should not let you. You're not thinking clearly- but he can't deny you anything when you're like this, it seems. You've got him wrapped around your little finger, tightly, with no chance of escape.
So he gently picks you up after turning off the TV, bringing you to his bedroom, where he puts you on the bed, your tired form struggling to stay seated. He picks out a shirt of his to wear, and a pair of your shorts out of your backpack Taehyung has left for you. "Sweetheart, can you change for me?" He asks, and you simply let yourself playfully fall ontop of his mattress, making him sigh. You're going to be the death of me. "Oh really now?" He says, before he crawls over you, with the intention to tickle you a little awake- but he stops in his tracks. In fact, time seems to stop as well, as your eyes stare at him, so big and full of wonder he almost can't stop himself from looking at your lips.
But its you who shyly- and so quickly he almost doesnt catch it- pecks his lips before sneakily slipping out his grasp, taking your clothes with you into the bathroom, leaving him on the bed. He sits down, touching his lips for a second, absolutely unsure if he'd just experienced this, or if he had just had a fever dream of some sorts.
It's only when he notices you don't emerge from the bathroom, that he moves. He gently knocks at the wooden door, asking for you, but you don't answer. "I'm gonna open the door, okay?" He says, and does so seconds after, spotting you sitting on the tiled floor- now dressed in his sweater and your shorts, ready for bed. He notices however how you're hiding in the sweater- the hood covering your ears, while your hands shield your face. "Whats wrong?" He asks as he squats down in front of you, his hands gently pulling yours away from your face. You're not crying, thank god, but the look on your face speaks entire novels about how embarrassed you feel.
"M'sorry." You say, and pout, and he shakes his head.
"Don't be." He simply answers, helping you stand up after a moment. "Why do you feel bad?" He asks, and you shrug your shoulders.
"I just.." You start, but suddenly your eyes grow glossy. "I miss Taehyung-" You say, and Jungkook's heart drops for a moment. "-but I also don't wanna go home tomorrow." You finish, and Jungkook blinks twice, before he looks at you, confused. You didn't want to leave? Him? "I.. no, it's fi-"
"Say it." He demands- its not harsh, its not even loud, its almost just a whisper, tuneless words pressed out in a breath of air. "Don't keep it in- say it." He prompts you, and you swallow, not looking at him.
"I wanna stay with you." You say.
And he swears, the pain in his heart was the sweetest he'd ever felt.
Tumblr media
The next day, after breakfast, Jungkook and you sit on his living room floor, him teaching you how to build a rubber powered plane- the one's he used to make as a kid. He'd kept a kit in his apartment back when he moved out of his family home but never got around to really use it. It was the perfect opportunity for you to enjoy the things you had missed out on in your life. He loved the way you so intensely watching his every move as he showed you how to put the pieces together. "And that's gonna fly?" You ask curiously, leaning over a bit as to get a better look at it.
"Hmhm." He says, holding it up, before giving it to you. "Here, turn this part until you can't anymore." He says, and you start twisting it for a while. "Don't worry, you can't break it." He says when you hesitate a little. He highly doubts you'll be able to snap the rubber band. "Tight?" He asks, checking, before he nods, standing up. "Lets go fly it outside!" He says, opening the glass door to the small backyard of his apartment. "And- Go!" he says, and you throw it just how he showed you minutes prior; letting it fly for a good moment before it landed.
"It flew!" You exclaimed happily, and he laughed as well, congratulating you as if you had just won a competition. He held you tightly to his body for a moment after you had jumped into his arms- and that was how you just stood there for a moment, simply existing, holding each other. For you, this was a moment of realizing that no, you're not alone. You're not useless, you're not just a pet, you're not just existing for someone's enjoyment. You had this one person at your side now, someone you could count on, someone to make you feel safe. And for him? Weirdly enough, he felt like the male lead of a romantic drama show- finally getting the happy ending he always craved in his life. He never knew what exactly he always wanted from his time here on earth. Was it success? Was it money? A big apartment, a nice home, a lot of friends? No, it was building a blanket fort with you in his living room. It was going to the grocery store with you, protecting you from big dogs that scared you, or holding you during the night. Every cheesy romantic thing he could imagine, now always featured you in his head; and it just, fit. It fit perfectly.
You fit into his life just perfectly.
It's later that day when Taehyung picks you up that he realizes that yes, he's positively in love with you. Because how can he not fall in love with those glistening eyes, hand waving goodbye for now because of course he can't just keep you like he wants to. There's paperwork involved, and your things need to be moved to his place- all of that needing to wait for social services to check his home, so that they can make sure he's really the right fit for you. It's then that he finally lets everything sink in, finally lets him think about what's going to happen, whats going to change.
And for the first time, he couldn't wait for it. He couldn't wait for things to change.
Tumblr media
Jungkook baked you a small cake for your welcoming into his home- finally yours as well, as you hug Taehyung for the last time, the older friend waving before the door closes, Jungkooks arms instantly pulling your back into his chest. He leans his head down, kissing your shoulder, before he runs his sensitive lips over the so unbelievably soft fur of your ears. Three weeks had passed, yet to him it had felt like an entire year. Jungkook was sometimes impatient, and waiting had been pure torture for him. So now, as he was finally able to hold you again, he felt his entire stress vaporize into nothingness.
You giggled, before turning around, hugging him fully, and rubbing your face into his sweater, as if to get your scent onto him. Which was exactly your plan- after all, he was your human now, officially yours, so everyone should know that. The rumble in his chest that was his chuckle made you smile widely, grinning as you looked up at him, chin resting on his chest.
Oh may god have mercy on his soul!
He leaned downwards, finally capturing your lips with his, the first real long kiss to be shared between the two of you. Both of you melted into the sweet gesture, your ears falling down lazily as he showered you in affection; kisses to your nose, your cheeks, and your lips again. He continued until the corners of your eyes gathered tears from laughing so much.
This was how you were supposed to be. You were never supposed to cry because you were upset-
the only tears you should ever have to shed, should be tears of happiness.

I’m not sure which PR fluff piece is worse- the new People article or the US Weekly relationship timeline one. I still can’t get over the fact that they called Danneel an activist, tried to do a section on it, and couldn’t come up with more than four examples. And what’s worse is they were terrible examples. Reposting a resource guide someone else made on Instagram, posting her children in target pride merch (at the end of pride month), a fundraiser the Ackles helped host in 2018, and the one time Jensen teamed up with Jared to talk about mental health. One example had nothing to do with her (Jared’s mental health advocacy efforts), another isn’t activism by any stretch of the imagination (her family pride merch photo), and the only truly charitable effort on the list happened four years ago. They just shouldn’t have included activism at all, it just made her look shallow and uninvolved.
What was really telling however is that they tried to pass off that Jensen and Danneel not only still live in Texas, but are still living in the house from their AD. The GA might buy that, but anyone who is already a fan of Jensen’s knows that they sold that house years ago. What an odd thing to lie about. Very sketchy, and another little tidbit to file under evidence that they’re no longer living together.
I’m just curious as to why they’re paying for these articles, if the CW is bankrolling them and not Danneel that is. At this point, they’ll have spent more on promoting the Ackles and The Winchesters than the show will make them. What a poor investment. If Danneel is the one bankrolling them in an attempt to get her name out in the public again, she’s going about it all wrong. No one is going to believe the story of high achieving husband and wife producer duo if the couple in question has only one project in the works that has been doomed from the start and the other half of the duo hadn’t worked in years and didn’t have a promising career when she was active. No one is going to believe that they’re in love when they’re never seen together in public and when they look like strangers at best and like they hate each other at worst in pictures together.
You make some excellent points, Anon. I wonder if maybe the Texas house bit was just another error of the writer or if it was purposeful. It seems to be purposeful since the article was trying to push them as a certain type of couple. I doubt the studios have any interest in promoting Danneel, they could make an attempt at gaining her some credibility but this is now the way to go about it. She's no activist and it's ridiculous people call her that when she does ZERO work, it's delusional, all she does is post from her couch and she has no intelect to back up any remotely intelligent ideas that would benefit the world. She's just a privileged white woman ego tripping, nothing more and it's sad that People magazine did no research into her 'activism' 'background'. Danneel herself is ridiculous for claiming such title. As if activism was just a fashion fad.
You're right, no one is going to buy into what her team is trying to sell because there is no credibility on any of it. GA might fall for some of it but with a little research they will get the truth.
Judging by the amateurish writing of these articles I am inclined to believe they were ordered by someone who has no clue what they are doing and just has a desire to get out there, so I am inclined to believe Danneel paid for those articles. Whatever the truth is, it's clear they were paid for to increase her profile so it's obvious the Ackles realize how shady her profile is and that she needs credibility to be sold as a producer successfully.
This feels a lot like she's trying to get some press in before TW fails. lol What a pathetic way to go about it.

Thank You (Luka Couffaine x Reader)
Summary (Part 1/probably 3): The author goes on a bit of a tangent about how Y/N goes on a bit of a tangent about Viperion. Who may just have a little, big ol' crush on them?
Tags: -not enough actual relationship -fluff -but like, a weird sprinkling of angst that I didn't plan on right at the end???
Word count: 1.6k
A/N: Inspired by this fic by @seriously-sirius-black <3. Luka? OOC? Idk, probably, I don’t write fanfic. But I am actually kinda proud of how well Alya turned out. Writing this made me realize how much of a mom friend I apparently headcanon her as. I wrote this gender-and-as-everything-else-neutral as I can make it (lemme know if you see ways I can improve, tho idk how much more fanfic I'll even be writing). Also, I freakin' RAMBLE and overuse italics, but ya get what ya get and ya don't gotta fret. Ooh, important note for future parts (if i write them) - this is a kinda!au where the miraculous users keep their miraculous. also if I had a nickel for every time I get awkwardly specific about the placement of both of a character’s hands I’d have TWO nickels. Happy reading!! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Part I - Paris's Cutiest Heroes
The look currently on Marinette’s face as she sputtered out a response was priceless, “Cat Noir? Cat Noir!? What makes you think I’d find Cat Noir attractive at all? And- and- HIM- the cutest superhero! Ridiculous!”
“Utterly ridiculous?”
“Nice one, Alya”
“Thank you so much, Y/N,” you gave Alya a high five on your way to your seat next to Juleka and Rose on the couch facing Marinette and Alya. A sunny Friday after school was the perfect place for Kitty Section and their entourage to hang out. Unfortunately without Ivan and Mylùne, seeing as their anniversary called for a private celebration. After pushing a couple couches onto the deck of The Liberty, Alya had predictably started talking about Paris's resident hero team. Today, she chose to ask everyone who they deemed the cutest, and she made sure to jump on Marinette's... interesting response, “And girl, he has the same silky golden hair and dreamy emerald eyes as Adrien Agreste. What’s utterly ridiculous is you freaking out and dodging every time we bring up superheroes!”
The designated snack-boy, Luka, walked out precariously carrying three bowls of goodies for everyone, “Alright, I got more popcorn. Sorry, but looks like we’re out of cheese flavoring, Y/N”
“Oh... that’s fine. I honestly wasn’t expecting it since I forgot to ask,” your free hand not reaching for the bowl rubbed the back of your neck, “but thanks for remembering.”
“Oh, um yeah- Always," is it creepy to remember something so specific? Someone as nice as Y/N wouldn't be interested in some creep. Ugh. Luka took a seat with his own bowl after passing Alya and Marinette theirs. He ended up next to you on the floor, leaning against the arm of the couch, dangerously close to touching your legs.
Rose reached for the popcorn as she interjected, “You know, Alya does have a point. So Marinette, why don’t you just tell us who you think the cutest superhero is, if you don’t like us guessing?”
Somehow Marinette’s face went even paler as she spoke, “What- I mean, I don’t- I haven’t thought- Wha- what about Y/N? Why aren’t you interrogating them?”
Alya crossed her arms, “Because Y/N says the same thing about the same hero every day. Just watch. Ahem, Y/N, care to weigh in on the cuteness level of our lovely Parisian superheroes?”
You looked up from the bowl you had stolen back from Rose with wide eyes, "Hey! Okay, no, that is not fair! Besides, what is our criteria for 'cute'? I mean... Are we going just by physical characteristics? Is costume a factor? What about the animal they're representing, could our opinion of that make this whole thing unfair? And cuteness is so subjective anyway... Why are we even reducing these amazing and honorable superheroes to just their looks? I mean we could be talking about skill, or their powers or power lev-"
"-And your answer would be exactly the same. Seriously, are you done trying- and might I add, failing- to talk yourself out of this one yet? Or should I just read the article you wrote for the Ladyblog?"
"You said you deleted that!"
Luka had perked his head up at your initial fumbling response and turned to you when he spoke, "You wrote an article? That's pretty cool."
You rubbed your face to try and distract yourself from the burning embarrassment, "Umm, yeah. But it was terrible and extremely not. worth. publishing." You hoped the glare you sent the girl in question was enough to scare her into deleting it on the spot, or to at least lie about it, "So Alya kindly deleted it, right?"
Sitting up with a smug look and crossed arms severely lowered your faith that she'd keep quiet. "A good journalist archives everything. Especially something as juicy as one of her besties going on for five thousand words about how dreamy the great Viperion is," dramatically fake-fainting into Marinette's lap, Alya could barely finish before bursting out in laughter. Of course, quickly followed by the others joining in to varying degrees. Juleka and Rose happily giggled to themselves, Marinette looked more relieved that the heat was off her, and Luka seemed to be shocked, or maybe just holding back to see how you were taking this.
Horribly. Horribly embarrassed would describe how you were taking this conversation. You sat there stock-still as you hoped that none of the others could hear your heart's desperate attempts to pound its way out of your chest. That's certainly all you could hear, at least until Alya's voice brought you out of it, "Hey, it's fine," she made her way over to sit next to you as she continued, "We all have our little hero crushes. That's why I bring it up all the time, to show you that it's totally normal! I mean, we all know how I could go on about Carapace for days," Alya gestured for the others to continue, and used her other hand to try and comfort you.
"Well, I find Ladybug to be just absolutely adorable and so kind.... oh it just makes me so happy knowing she's keeping all of Paris safe," Rose added softly.
Juleka brushed a strand of hair aside as she spoke, "Rena Rouge is super mysterious, pretty rad in my opinion."
Alya was rubbing your back like the mom friend she is to try and help encourage you, "See? Super normal, so go ahead and release all this pent up Viperion energy that I know you have. Maybe it'll encourage Marinette here to finally join in the fun!" Alya stuck her tongue out at her best friend, who responded promptly by smashing her face into a pillow.
You just sighed, "I mean- it’s- it can't just-'' were you supposed to just get over it all just like that? Well, at least the embarrassment was wearing off, maybe you could just entertain her for a bit, "Well- um, you see.... HisHairJustLooksReallySoftAnd- you know what. Nope. Can't do anymore of this. Yep- that's all you're getting out of me!" This time when everyone started giggling, you were able to comfortably join them. It was a nice feeling.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A nice evening chilling out with your friends was always welcome, especially with the rising number of akumatizations making that less possible. But the night had come to a close. Alya and Marinette went home, Juleka was walking Rose back herself, and Luka and you had volunteered to clean up. Luka stopped drying the cup in his hand for a minute as he looked at you, “Um, I know it might not be my place, but I want you to know that you don’t have to be embarrassed about the whole... Viperion thing.” God, how am I supposed to take the news that MY crush has a crush on.... Sort of me? Am I supposed to count it as me at all?
“Oh, um. Yeah, thanks. I think I’m over the embarrassment now that it’s out. I don’t know, it’s just that a lot of people think it’s weird since he’s kind of a new hero,” how are you supposed to explain this to him? That you kept such a non-issue secret from him, especially without getting suspiciously defensive about it. “And then people use that to try and say that I only like him for his looks..... And that’s not it! I don’t know, it’s kind of.... A lot? To explain, that is.” This was not going well.
“Oh... Well, what is it? That you like about him, I guess.”
This was so not going well. But he was waiting for a response so... “Uh, well I guess it did kinda start..... that way.... but then I started doing research. I learned about his power and saw videos of his fights. He’s really good! Especially for being so new, which kinda goes into why his power makes me like him so much.” Shit. Rambling, I’m just talking and talking and I need to stop. But how am I supposed to change the subject now? And now Luka’s sitting down, and he seems so invested. Why does this have to happen to me?
“What do you mean by that?”
Luka’s voice kindly shuts your little thought-spiral in its tracks. What were you saying? Oh, Viperion’s powers! You can talk about this, you know this. Just keep talking, at least he seems interested in it, “Well, you know how he can go back and redo the last couple of minutes?” Luka nodded, “Well, we always see the time that worked out. Us civilians get to keep going from the one time it all went right. Just imagine all the times he failed, all the times he couldn’t get it right. It could be dozens, maybe even hundreds of times! He must get so discouraged at some point, I mean I know I would.... I guess I didn’t really think about it at first, but.... but, I doubt I could keep that determination, and I’m so glad Paris has a hero who can, and does.”
Silence. Why was it so quiet? Oh no, he thinks I’m weird. He must think-
“All of this from ‘his hair looks soft’?”
“Hey! You can’t tell me not to be embarrassed, then make fun of me! That’s against the rules!”
Luka chuckled as he said, “Against what rules, exactly?”
“The Rules Of Best Friendship, duh!”
“And who exactly said you were my best friend?”
“Well... your loss, I guess. Now you won’t get an invitation when I plan Rose and Juleka’s wedding,” you brushed off his offended glare as you took the seat next to him.
“She’s my sister.”
“She’d take my side.”
I’d take your side, too. I will always take your side. “Yeah, you’re probably right.”
A/N the sequel: I am super bad at finishing things, but I really wanna keep motivated to finish this (like I have a full, probably 3 part, plan for this). If you guys want to help, shoot me a message and I'll send you a link to the google doc I'm writing this on. Feel free to leave a little comment (pls be kind, obviously) and see my writing process! Idk, would any of you guys be interested in that? Would you just get annoyed at having already read the thing before I post it?

Pairing: Loki x reader Summary: After much research and seeking out advice from Tony, Loki asks you on a date. Warnings: dialogue heavy and an adorably awkward Loki A/N: Thank you for requesting @akhansen2800! I hope you enjoy :) 
Tumblr media
Disclaimer: Gif not mine
The common room was a mess, thanks to the trickster god. There was paper and books littered all over the floor. Not to mention bits and pieces from the computer he may or may not have smashed against the ground. It really was hardly his fault, though; it was the insipid machine that dared defy him.
“Woah, Reindeer Games,” Tony said, walking in, sidestepping the junk on the ground. “Did a tornado hit or something?”
“Oh, very funny, Stark. If you ask me, it is an improvement over this drab decor you have picked,” Loki quipped, eyes never leaving the page he was reading.
“No, how could you! My heart, it can’t take this,” Tony overdramatically gasped, flopping on top of the papers strewn on the couch. “Goodbye, cruel world.”
“Your theatrics never cease to amaze me,” Loki sighed, finally looking up at the man he’d come to call friend. “And that says a lot, coming from me.”
“You’re right, it’s high praise.” Tony picked up one of the papers he’d crinkled from laying on top of. “What is all this, anyway?”
Just because Loki considered Tony a friend, didn’t mean he necessarily wanted to say what he was doing. He was still a rather closed off person and, in all honesty, preferred to avoid any and all talks about his emotions. Which, of course, brings him right back to why he’s sitting in the middle of this mess, anyway. His emotions, which, despite his best efforts, he did still have.
Loki stood up and stretched his muscles, achy from being hunched over his reading material for so long.  He snatched away the page Tony was perusing, only for him to grab another one to skim. Realizing any effort to keep confiscating the papers one at a time would be fruitless, Loki moved it all to his room with a snap of his fingers. Then he sat next to his companion and began wringing his hands in that awful nervous tic of his. Truth be told, he could use some advice, but that only brought him back to square one of having to talk about his feelings. Tony leaned back on the couch while patiently awaiting Loki’s answer.
“I was doing some research,” Loki finally admitted. “On some Midgardian things.”
“That’s cute, Reindeer, but you could just ask me. Or maybe Peter if it's a pop culture thing.”
“It is not.” Loki wondered how much he could beat around the bush before he either had to give up on the conversation or genuinely say what was wrong. “It is just something I am not entirely sure how to go about.”
“I’m great at giving advice.”
“No, you are not,” Loki rolled his eyes.
“Sure I am!” Tony exclaimed, feigning hurt. “How would you know, anyway? You’ve never actually asked me for any.”
“Maybe not, but I have seen the way you live your own life, Stark.”
“That’s entirely different,” he said with a wave of his hand. “Come on, give me a chance. Fire away, I’m ready.”
Loki merely rolled his eyes again, though he was actually considering it. He hated to admit it—he really hated to admit it—but Tony had become somewhat of a father figure to him. That was absolutely ridiculous, of course, considering how Loki was a thousand years older than the man. But after his childhood, he’d be silly to reject that kind of relationship. Loki supposed that if he had to go to anyone with this problem, Tony wasn’t a terrible option. Besides, he should probably let himself be emotionally vulnerable very once in a while, right? That was supposed to be good or something, he thought. So, he steeled himself, and told Tony his issue.
“There is this Midgardian that I know. They are very sweet and kind and perfect... I mean, they are as bearable as a Midgardian can be,” Loki covered up, blushing slightly from how much he had just revealed. “I would like to ask them to spend some time with me, but I am not sure how.”
“Awww, you have a crush,” Tony cooed. “How sweet. You want to ask them out.”
“No,” Loki protested, stubborn as ever. Tony just raised his eyebrows at him. “Ok, fine! Yes, I would like to take them on a date, but I am dreadfully lacking in knowledge on Midgardian dating etiquette.”
“You’ve come to the right place,” Tony grinned. “Oh and take notes.”
And so, Loki spent the next two and a half hours listening to Tony ramble on. Most of it was just him going on rather useless tangents about his own endeavors in love. The God of Mischief rolled his eyes so many times, he began to fear they might roll out of his head. His notes, at least, were pretty amusing. Ok, to call them notes may be a little generous. They were mainly silly doodles of Tony monologuing, with the few helpful things he said jotted in the margins. He got so invested in one of his little caricatures that he didn’t even notice Tony stopped speaking.
“Hey, that’s not what I look like,” Tony pouted, peering at the drawing.
“Well nothing you were saying was helping, Stark.” Loki put the note pad in one of his dimensional pockets. “I am not like you. I am not a flashy person when it comes to matters of the heart.”
“Oh, so you want to go the be yourself way. You know, the sappy speeches and flowers and chocolates direction.”
Loki perked up a bit. “Yes. Yes, that sounds splendid.”
Tony sighed and gave Loki a list of movies to watch. And told him to speak from the heart. That troubled Loki; no one ever really cared to listen to him speak before. But, he dutifully watched all the assigned movies, supplemented by some of the books he was still combing through.
After a week of preparation and many, many drafts of a speech to say to you, Loki was finally ready to ask you out. Donning his best Midgardian suit, he walked out of his room, greeted by a bright flash of light. Tony was standing there, camera in hand.
“Look, at my little boy,” he fake cried. “All grown up.”
“Stark, will your antics ever stop?” Loki looked at the camera out of the corner of his eye. “And delete that photo, I was not ready.”
“Nope. It’s payback for all those unflattering doodles. Now, go get ‘em, Reindeer. Remember: Just be yourself.”
Easier said than done, Loki thought as he called upon his seiðr, teleporting to your street. You were an employee at Stark Tower; that’s how the two of you met. Loki had been looking for his brother, his search taking him into the cafeteria, one of his least favorite places in the whole building. It was always too loud and populated for someone who liked his silence and solitude. The sheer number of people in the room was overwhelming to the god that day, but he needed to speak with Thor, and he’d searched just about every other place his brother could be. He could not spot him in the crowd, but his eyes landed on you, off near a corner at a table alone and reading a book. He cast one last nervous look around the room before heading towards where you were, his social anxiety kicking in.
“Hello,” he said after clearing his throat.
You looked up at him with a dreamy sort of gleam in your eye that revealed how enchanted you’d been with your book. It gave Loki a little boost of confidence to know that that happened to you, too. That you could get so lost in a story that the world around you disappeared. It calmed his racing heart a little.
“Oh uh, hi,” you greeted with a chipper smile. Then more nervously, added, “It’s Loki, right?”
“Yes, that is correct. Loki of Asgard, pleased to make your acquaintance,” he said, sweeping into a small bow. “And you are?”
You told him his name, extending your hand for a shake. “How can I help you?”
“I am looking for my brother, but I cannot find him. You have not seen him around, have you?”
“I actually did see him earlier, though I’m not sure- Wait!” you suddenly exclaimed, and Loki followed your gaze. “He’s over there.”
Loki gulped. Of course his brother was at the table in the center of the room, surrounded by people. He really needed to talk to him about a mission, but the thought of going over there was making his stomach feel queasy. He tried to take a step forward, but his feet were apparently glued to the floor.
“Hey, if you’re nervous about going over there, I get it. Crowds can be scary,” you said, picking up on his subtle fidgeting. “The room usually clears out significantly in about ten minutes from now. I, um, was going to that little cafe over in the corner and get some tea or coffee, if you want to come.” Loki stared at you for a moment, unused to being invited places, especially by mortals he did not know. You seemed to mistake his silence, though, and rushed to assure him he didn’t have to. “Sorry, that was probably stupid. You’re under no obligation to say yes, of course. I understand.”
“No! I mean, yes.” He sighed and mentally smacked himself. Ever since moving to Midgard, his silver tongue was not what it used to be around strangers. “I mean, no that is not stupid, and yes, I would like to go to that cafe with you.”
And go to that cafe you did, launching into an animated conversation about reading. Loki even made you laugh, which felt like a huge accomplishment to him. The both of you sat back down at your table with your warm drinks, still chatting. There were very few people Loki ever felt so relaxed with, especially so soon after meeting them. You didn’t talk about anything groundbreaking, but he enjoyed talking to a kindred spirit. Somehow you even got a smile tugging at his lips, getting wider by the minute.
True to what you’d said, the room noticeably emptied nearly ten minutes later. With only a few people left and after such an amazing conversation, Loki was sure he could go grab his brother out of the room. But that was the problem; the conversation was too amazing, and he didn’t want it to end. And it seemed you didn’t either.
“Hey, um, maybe this is weird, but do you maybe want to talk again sometime? Like if you ever need a friend or are bored or anything?” you ventured.
“I would love that,” he genuinely replied.
You quickly wrote down your number and, after double and triple checking it, handed it to him. He tucked it safely away in one of his inner pockets before getting up and you bidding you goodbye. Then, in a better mood than he’d been in in a long time, Loki waltzed over to Thor’s table and successfully extracted him from the few people still clinging to his every word. He glanced back at you one last time before exiting, and you gave him a small, somewhat shy wave. He returned it along with a smile.
Loki kept that all in his heart as he walked up to your door, finger hovering by the bell for a minute. Maybe this was silly. No, this was definitely ridiculous. But, if he stood here any longer, your neighbors would probably think he was some crazy person.
Really, he shouldn’t be so nervous. You talked all the time since that day of your first meeting, and you’d never seemed bothered by him before. Not even when he started bringing surprise morning coffees to your desk. Or when he started leaving you books he thought you might like. Or when he started giving you little hugs when you seemed down. In fact, you seemed touched by all that. But this was all so new to him, so different from anything he’d known before. What if he was reading it all wrong? Before he could talk himself out if it, he rang the bell.
He heard you shout that you were coming in response. He quickly adjusted his tie and then stood with the flowers hidden behind his back. He made sure to get a bouquet of your favorites. You opened the door and your mouth made an adorable little “o” of surprise before your lips formed a sweet smile.
“Loki!” you greeted, smoothing down your sweatshirt. “I wasn’t expecting you. Don’t get me wrong, though. It’s great to see you. Um, do you want to come in? The place is kind of a mess right now, but-”
Loki whipped out the flowers from behind him, making you cut out in surprise. He stared at his feet and nervously mumbled, “These are for you.”
“Loki, these are so beautiful. This is so sweet. Thank you.” You gave him one of those shy smiles that he loved so much. “I feel bad, I don’t have anything for you.”
“That is quite alright. I have come here to ask you something.”
“Oh! Ok. I’m all ears.”
Loki smiled at the Midgardian expression, calming him a little. “We have been friends for some time now, and I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute—nay, every second—I have spent with you. You are the most kindhearted being I have ever met, beautiful both inside and out. And thus, I find myself wanting something more than friendship, if you will allow it. My dear, sweet, darling little mortal, will you do me the honor of going on a date with me?”
“Oh, Loki,” you breathed. “That was beautiful. I would absolutely love to go on a date with you.”
He cheered on the inside, and you hugged him close. After you pulled away, the two of you stood there for a minute, smiling like dorks. It seemed to Loki that no matter how badly he wanted to say something else, the only thought occupying his brain was that you said yes. He could hardly believe you said yes.
“So, uh, what are we going to do on our date?” you sheepishly asked.
Loki’s face dropped. He couldn’t believe how foolish he was. “I do not know yet. I knew there was something I was forgetting. I am sorry, darling.”
“That’s ok, Loki,” you kindheartedly laughed. “Tell you what, there’s a bookstore with the most adorable little cafe in it, just a couple blocks from here. Why don’t we go there?”
“That sounds perfect,” he replied, his smile returning already. “How does tomorrow sound? I can come pick you up around noon?”
“Sounds like a plan.”
You stared at each for another minute, those same goofy grins that gave away how happy you were plastered on your faces. When Loki began to overthink how awkward he probably looked, he found it in himself to tear his eyes away from your beauty.
“So I shall see you tomorrow then,” he nervously said.
“Yup! See you then,” you replied, your nerves equaling his own.
After a quick hug and waving goodbye to each other, you parted ways. Soon, Loki was back home in the Tower, happily sprawled on the sofa, book in hand.
“Hey Reindeer Games,” Tony greeted. “So, how’d it go? Was I right, or was I right?”
“As much as it pains me to admit it, Stark, you were right.” Loki smiled to himself, already daydreaming about your date. “It was perfect.”
Loki found that after so much anxiety and uncertainness, there was finally one thing he knew; tomorrow was going to be perfect, too.

🕯Anon said : Can I request headcanons with a Modern Au Teacher!Erwin and his s/o is a slightly famous artist like a painter that’s always in the basement. Maybe have a moment where the art teacher begs him to bring them to the school when they find out who Erwin is with. ? 🕯
Teacher!Erwin brings you, a famous painter, to work.
{ Erwin x Reader | tw:none | fluff, suggestive kiss | modern }
Tumblr media
{ "Leisurely Sunday in the Villa Comunale in Naples" 1993 by Francesco Tammaro Born in 1939 }
Grassy fields surrounded the old big building as the trees undressing of their leaves onto the sidewalks, currently being swept away by the janitor.
Students were filling the halls, the sound of chatter and laughter following after. Outside in the yard, the whistle of the gym teacher could be heard following by heavy footsteps as the football team started their morning practice. Not long after the bell rang, the halls were empty again only for some crumbled papers and snack covers left behind.
"Pigs, all of them. There's a trashcan right there." Levi scrunched his nose at the smell of axe spray and deodorant near the trophy cases. "Tell Miche to spray his running monkeys with soap every once in a while."
"Now now, what got you so grumpy this early in the morning?" Adjusting the lab coat on their suit, Hange replied. "Oh cut the kids some slack, their big game is coming soon or something."
"And he's been implenting a more strick hygiene policy." Said Erwin, holding a plastic binder with a stack of exam papers, mostly marked red. "He's trying to convince the principal to ban deodorant during practice because it's making his nose burn."
Huffing in response, Levi crossed his arms. "Yeah because the principle will definitely listen to him after that whole sniffing people scandal- Hey! Brats, don't you have classes"
As Levi went to scold the two students currently hanging a handmade poster for the upcoming game on the wall, a couple of students came up to Hange, looking in a hurry as they explained the Science lab was locked and they're getting tired of sitting on their backpacks outside.
Soon after, Erwin too made his way to class.
Upon entering the room, the talking quieted down as the squeaking sound of people going back to their own desks followed. Walking upfront, Erwin dropped the binder on his desk beside the empty mug, a couple of groans filled the room as the students realised what it was.
"Mr.Smith, didn't we just take the test yesterday? Shouldn't you like...I don't know double check or something? Maybe you rushed grading them?" One student called from the back as some chuckles and agreement followed from the rest.
Taking the stacks of papers out, Erwin made his way between the students, giving each on their graded paper. "I don't know Connie, maybe you should've double checked your answers instead?"
The playful atmosphere of the classroom was cut short as the door slammed open, making everyone freeze in their seats, none other than the art teacher walked in.
Nile Dawk, current art teacher who fails at least a quarter of his class each year. Who has oh just the most swell relationship with Erwin and anyone can tell you that.
You see, Erwin adored art, both the classic and the modern. Nile admired history and knew just how each art era had its link to a historical event.
And the pair couldn't stand each other.
Crossing his arms, Nile said "Erwin, you have explaining to do." Before dropping a newly printed magazine onto his desk, 
Its cover, showing a brand new art museum that just finished construction and is hosting a lot of different paintings from unrecognised underground talents. 
"Nile, I think you misunderstand. I teach history, I'm not an architect." He said raising an eyebrow, before tilting his head as if he's deep in thought, "or do you want me to explain what a museum is?"
Sneering at his remark, Nile flipped through the pages till he reached a certain one. It depicted a one of the paintings that will be displayed in the museum, a portrait of a blond man with broad shoulders and sharp blue eyes seemingly distracted from reality by the book in his hand.
The soft glow of the fireplace next to the red armchair he sat in, adding a certain orange hue to his light complexion. His long fingers holding the leather book as a glass-stained maroon vase sat on the small table behind him, containing a single red rose.
It's clear from the details poured into his eyes and the shading for each strand of his hair that whoever made this painting, held a great affection for the man.
"Now Mr.history teacher, care to explain why your face is on this painting? By one of the few promising artists of this useless generation?."
Hushed murmurs filled the classroom as students took out their phones googling the name y/n, showing each other the said painting while staring with wide eyes at Erwin.
Rubbing his temple with his fingers, Erwin frowned at the scene the other was causing. Knowing very well it won't take long for this fire to spread, he decided to add more fuel to the flames.
He took a long breath, before telling the class to quiet down with a stern expression. 
"Mr.Dawk, are you really asking me why y/n, my love, the person I'm married to, paint me?" He said facing the other, looking directly into his eyes. "Maybe you should ask y/n instead if you're so insisting on forcing yourself in my private life."
Narrowing his eyes, Nile snorted. "You know what Erwin? Maybe I should.
And that's the story Erwin told you while having dinner that day.
He looks at you with pleading eyes as if to silently apologise for dragging you into this mess, his plate still half full and drink untouched.
Please reassure him that it's alright, you don't mind taking a day off to visit his work
He'll reach out to gently squeeze your hand in his, whispering a small thank you as his thumb rubs against your skin.
He also says he'll do the dishes that day, you can go rest and he will join you in bed after a while, a relieved smile on his face.
The next day, as he wakes up early like usual. He makes sure to wake you up with a kiss, stroking your face before murmuring "good morning" against your lips. 
He knows because of your work you don't wake up early, so he's really patient and understanding if you happen to get grumpy for a while.
Handing you a warm drink to help wake you up, he'll make sure you eat something before changing and heading out.
You're not surprised to find him already done and dressed himself.
Hair as perfect as usual.
On the drive to school, you'll feel the cool morning air against your skin while your head leans back into the seat, eyes fluttering shut.
You can have your mini nap, Erwin will make sure to wake you up when you arrive.
When arriving, he made sure to open the car door for you. The fresh air and green scenery surrounded you both.
When arriving at the teacher's lounge, you're almost surprised to see two people already there from how early it was.
The first was sitting on the old black couch near the window, his dirty blond bangs covering his eyes. The second you could see making tea on the other side of the room Where the kitchenware was.
Both of them glanced up when Erwin called their name, staring at the way he had an arm wrapped around your waist while introducing you.
It was Miche who came first, standing from the couch you noticed just how tall he was. Offering your hand for him to shake, only for him to pull you into a tight hug instead.
He pulled away, tapping his nose before a smile slowly formed on his face, nodding in approval
The second was Levi, who ignored your offered hand only to sip on his teacup, assessing you up and down.
Not too long after, a person with a messy ponytail and a colorful lab coat arrived.
They took one glance at you, then the matching wedding rings on yours and Erwins fingers before taking an immediate interest in you.
Hange asked questions faster than you can answer them, with sparkling eyes and a wide smile.
At the first sign of you being uncomfortable, it was Levi who stepped in to tell Hange to tone it down before apologizing to you.
And it was Miche who got you some snacks from the teacher's secret stash after.
You've heard stories and one sided phone calls about them from Erwin, yet it still didn't prepare you for actually meeting them.
While overwhelming at first, the more time you spent talking as Erwin reassuringly sat beside you, you noticed how genuinely interested they were.
Levi, while seemingly cold, was actually the most considerate and paid the most attention to you. He'd step in whenever things got too much and would be really polite despite having a colourful language. By the end of it he even made you some tea, something that seemed to surprise Erwin and the rest.
"It's just...he never trusted someone this quickly before."
Hange was genuinely interested in you, having researched you and your art beforehand. They really were eager to hear even the most boring details and were capable of understanding your way of thinking. They even gave you a small rubber frog they carried around in their pocket to hand out. It would've been cute wasn't for the fact immediately after they mentioned the real human skeleton they have pinned to the lab door.
"His name is bean! I've been actually investing into getting him a human heart for Valentine's day, but all the ones I've found so far were in jars."
The most quiet of them was actually Miche, although he'd smile at you whenever you looked his way. Despite his intimidating size you learned how harmless and easy going he is, the most chill out of the three. He did mention knowing Erwin for the longest time out of them, having been childhood friends even. He promised to tell you all the embarrassing secrets Erwin tried to erase from existence as he added his number on your phone.
"He ain't as proper as he looks, I got the dirt on him."
You saw Erwin's jaw tightening before he changed the subject quickly, giving the side eye to Miche who only smiled back.
The rest of the day went by smoothly, Erwin didn't leave your side for one minute and made sure to check on you constantly. 
He introduced you to the rest of the teachers and seemed only amused at any teasing he got from students passing by.
By the end of the day, as the sun began to set and the students already done with their clubs, you and Erwin had one final place to go.
The art classroom.
"Just one more thing before that" he told you, guiding you into an empty classroom.
You saw his desk, the mug you gifted him on father's day as a joke sat on his desk, several paper sketches you made were framed next to it.
It was his classroom, with only you and him, the door open.
He closed it.
You stood against his desk as he moved closer, arms circling you, not breaking eye contact.
"May I?" He whispered, licking his own lips.
As he got your permission, he pressed his lips against yours, arm stroking your back before pulling away after some seconds.
He rubbed your swollen bottom lip with his thumb, a small smile on his face before pulling away.
Your heart was still fluttering against your chest as you left the classroom, while Erwin seemed to be smiling at nothing with a slight curl to his lips, steps more lighter than before.
Right after that he took you to the art classroom. The smell of oil paint and sound of brushes scratching against paper filling the air.
Stepping inside, the scratching sound stopped as a certain black haired man stared at you, eyes wide and lips parted.
Disbelief clear in his face, Nile was quick to mask his emotions as he noticed the smugness Erwin was in.
"Nile, I'd like to introduce you to my lovely darling, y/n." There was a chipper to Erwin's voice as he leaned in to kiss your cheek.

The Plot Bunny is LOOSE
Please feel free to comment and let me know your thoughts or which one is your favorite.
I wanted to write a drabble tonight, but honestly, I'm too tired for my brain to focus and invest time into dialogue writing, etc...
-----
These are kind of prompt ideas, with a choose your own adventure ending? I don't know. It's my brain rambling, that much is certain.
Also, if anyone becomes inspired, please take any of these prompts/ideas and run with them.
Helmut Zemo x Reader
You are in the safe house at Riga, researching possible sites for the next attack by the Flag-Smashers and Zemo decides to join you on the couch and help with his knowledge of the area and what may be good targets.
You end up falling asleep against him.
He's caught by surprise that you would leave yourself so unguarded around him, and he's unsure of himself as it's been the first time someone has willingly and essentially cuddled up against him. So outwardly he may be tense, but internally, he's an emotional mess and is having an existential crisis on what to do.
He has never allowed himself to entertain the idea of ever letting someone get close to him since the passing of his family.
So. Does he silently remove you from your position and let you sleep on the couch alone, covering you with his coat?
Or does he give in and eventually fall asleep with you. Only to have Bucky and Sam discover the two of you fast asleep later on.
Because.....of course that would happen. Drama!
(I just love exploring Zemo's internal turmoil)
-----
Helmut Zemo x Reader
5 times you were un-expectantly trapped between a wall and Zemo and the 1 time you meant to be on purpose.
That's it. That's the prompt.
(I think this could be a fun fic to write re-telling certain events from TFATWS)
-----
Helmut Zemo x Reader
An earthquake hits Riga, trapping you, Zemo, Bucky and Sam in different parts of the city.
Who gets to you first?
This could be an interesting internal character study for Zemo as I believe it would cause him to relive the trauma of losing his family all over again. As we know he spent two days trying to find them after the events at Novi Grad. Maybe he's not even in a relationship with the reader yet, but realizes how much time he's wasted not expressing how he feels, so he scrambles to locate you and hope you aren't dead.
(This is a prompt, I might be tempted to write at some point)
-----
Helmut Zemo x Reader
Dr. Strange pays Sam, Bucky, Zemo and you a visit informing Sam he has to leave their universe and attempt to fix the multiverse mess that Loki has created. So he gives him an enchanted device should he need to get ahold of him.
The Cloak of Levitation is quite fond of you. Zemo unassumingly gets jealous.
(This is pure crack!fic. LMAO. Only because I would love him to throw a fit that only you are allowed to wear his clothes *cough* coat *cough* and he doesn't like the fact that the Cloak of Levitation keeps wrapping itself around you like your it's property.)
-----
Laszlo Kreizler x Reader
Laszlo asks you to go to the opera with him. At first you are quite touched Dr. Kreizler has asked you to be his companion for the evening, only to realize by intermission he is using you to attract attention from a wealthy aristocrat who may have ties to the killer.
Hurt by his underlying manipulation, you have an argument with him afterwards, raising doubts that you don't know whether there was a part of Dr. Kreizler that actually wanted you there with him genuinely or not because he never shared his plan with you. Too upset to let him explain, you storm off.
You roam the streets aimlessly and wind up in a part of town you aren't familiar with, not realizing you strayed so far from the opera house.
When you turn back you notice an abandoned building with the name Baxter written across it, which sparks recognition of possible locations the killer may be using to murder his victims before dumping them in various odd places around the city.
You thought about calling Dr. Kreizler to inform him of your findings, but you're too emotional and angry with him, so you decide to go snooping around the building on your own.
What happens to the reader? And does the reader make it back to Laszlo in one piece?
(A fic prompt I am also potentially intrigued to write, but haven't had time)
-----
Niki Lauda x Reader
You are a long time friend of Niki's. You don't work for his team, but you show your support whenever he's close enough for you watch him race.
You strike up a friendship with James Hunt, much to Lauda's dismay. He doesn't show any jealousy, but obviously tries to steer you clear of Hunt knowing his reputation off the track. He sees him as reckless and dangerous.
Niki is unaware you have been in love with him for quite some time, but he never seemed to show any interest, so you kept your unrequited love to yourself.
It wasn't until you had to drag Lauda and Hunt back to the hotel they were staying at that started to shift how Niki really saw you.
You were being incredibly cautious with your new car and driving at the normal speed limit the road called for. Hunt was in the backseat arguing about how his grandmother could drive faster than you, and that they would never get back to the hotel in time to make a party he intended going to.
He may or may not have also invited you.
Lauda starts bickering with Hunt as he has no problems with driving at a reasonable speed back to the hotel.
You decide to shut them both up by showing off your own set of driving skills, which promptly caused all chatter in the car to cease.
You basically leave the boys speechless and get out of your car without so much as a passing glance to either one of them.
Hunt ends up being grateful and attempts to persuade you to attend the party with him, but you decline.
Niki, however has different plans in mind as you have left him impressed and slightly turned on at how well you maneuvered your car through the outskirts of the city, causing him to re-evaluate his feelings for you over time.
Where do we go from here?
(I kind of like this prompt. I'd like to think Niki would be obtuse to some degree and need some sort of action to jolt him out of his stupor having known you for so long. There are a lot of different directions this idea could go in.)
-----
That's it for now! If you've gotten this far, thank you for reading my silly rambles.

Reactions to our boi finding out that not only were you a fan before meeting but you were fan who wrote smut about them? A secret you've kept hidden but now... Aizawa, Mic, Nighteye
I’m still sick but i need to do something before i go nuts lol, but I’m sorry if it’s a little questionable, I’m like, half awake oof
Warnings: some mentions of smut but nothing super explicit
AIZAWA SHOUTA
-So he’s not necessarily a well known hero, or at least he isn’t usually in the running with the media. So he probably doesn’t have that much merch, or it’s really hard to find.
-So he notices the first time you let him into your room that you have an adorable tsumtsum of him. He doesn’t say anything, doesn’t even let on that he saw it, but he knows that it was probably hard for you to get. He figures out right then that you’re some kind of fan.
-But he thinks it’s pretty casual, and he’s actually (secretly) a little bit pleased that you admire him so much, especially if you don’t have any other hero merch.
-He doesn’t catch on until much later that you write smut about him.
-Like, he knows that such things exist. It’s just how people are, we all love our fanfic. 
-He doesn’t think much of your writing habits at first, always assumes you’re working on papers or other things for your job. He only starts to get suspicious when he walks in on you one night and you get flustered and slap your laptop closed.
-He’s not gonna pry into your business, but he’s definitely curious. 
-After that incident, you start writing less around him, and he starts to to worry. Like, all he did was walk into the room, but he didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable. He’s also a little perturbed that you feel like you have to hide things from him.
-He’ll probably ask you about it within a couple weeks, or rather he’ll tell you that you don’t have to be ashamed of the things you’re working on, no matter what it is.
-And you appreciate the sentiment, but you seriously don’t know what you’d do if your boyfriend realized you write porn about him. Most of it’s fantasies you’ve had about him, but written to cater to all his fans.
-You’re not super possessive of him, so like, you don’t mind that people thirst over him. You know that at the end of the day, you’re the only one who’s got his attention.
-But then you fall asleep on the couch one night. You had intended to just shut your eyes for a moment to give them a break, so you’d left your laptop open and leaned back on the sofa. Shouta wasn’t supposed to be home for another couple hours, so you figured you’d be safe.
-But you end up falling asleep, and he ends up coming home early.
-He thinks you’re cute when he sees you cozied up on the cushions, but he sees that your laptop is about to die. He has no idea where you usually keep the cord, so he...well, his intention is to save whatever documents you were so hard on, so you didn’t lose your progress. But his eyes scan a few lines without thinking, and before long he’s reading through the whole thing.
-Ngl he’s flustered as hell. He’ll never admit it, but the things you’ve written are absolutely filthy. It’s nothing like anything you’ve ever done in the bedroom, which he’s actually grateful for (he doesn’t want his sex life being broadcasted on the internet, even if you do work under an alias), but reading your work is giving him ideas.
-Do you actually want to do things like this with him? Or is it really just a fantasy, a story written to appease other people.
-Of course, he’s also a teacher so he finds himself critiquing your writing style and use of language. It’s actually pretty good writing, however sinful the subject matter.
-He quickly goes to save the document, but right as he does, you stir awake.
-He looks at you, you look at him. You’re sleepy as hell, and he’s pink in the cheeks, and you just know right off the bat that he’s figured you out.
-You immediately hide your face in your hands and mumble out an ‘oh god im sorry you were never supposed to find out’ and he’s like ‘how the hell do i approach this’ because it’s such an embarrassing situation when it’s happening.
-He tells you that it’s okay, he really doesn’t mind that you write stuff like that. And truthfully he doesn’t. Lots of people write works directed at adults, and there’s nothing wrong with it. He’s just....it’s the fact that you’re writing about him. Of all the heroes you could have chosen from, you chose him. To write about, to appreciate, to pursue romantically.
-It’s turns into a mushy moment, because of course you chose him?? He’s kind and smart and loving and he cares a lot about you and other people. Plus he’s handsome as heck.
-You’re both still a little shy about it when you head to bed a few minutes later, but you still cuddle up to him in the dark and rest your head on his chest.
-But right when you think all is said and done, he asks ‘Is any of that stuff something you’d ever want to try?’ and a whole new wave of embarrassment washes over you. Like jesus christ have some tact Shouta.
-Whether or not you guys end up experimenting a little more is up to you, but it definitely feels nice to not have to hide it so much. You’re still a little iffy about actually showing him what you write, but that’s mostly because you’re worried your skills won’t be up to his standards.
YAMADA HIZASHI
-Definitely didn’t know you were a fan of his the first few times you met. You acted so normal around him, like he was just another guy, so he figured he wasn’t on your radar. Which is fine by him, he tries not to pursue fans simply because that attraction might not be genuine, y’know?
-Like, ‘is this person with me because they like the idea of me, or because they actually like me’ sort of thing.
-And you’re not an overzealous fan by any means, but the first time he visits your house he realizes he was mistaken. You have a couple of his collectibles; the nice ones that are tasteful, not the corny ones that are a quick cash grab for companies.
-He’s like ??? you didn’t tell me???
-And you’re like ???no???
-Honest to god you didn’t recognize him at first. You’d been in a dimly lit, high-end club, he’d had his hair down, you’d both had a couple of drinks. He just happened to be a guy that you had some things in common with, who was nice to talk to and who made you laugh.
-It relaxes him a little, knowing that you would have been into him even if he wasn’t a hero and a super popular DJ with a radio show. And by the time he’s coming over to your house, you guys probably know each other pretty well anyways. He’s let you into his life, but you’ve also let him into yours.
-He teasingly asks you if you’ve got any more little secrets (even though this was hardly a secret), and he doesn’t expect when you get flustered af and squeak out a ‘nope, not a single one, no secrets’. But he doesn’t think more of it until much later.
-Like, several months later. After you guys move in together.
-He knows that smut about heroes exists, he knows that there is smut about him, and if I’m being honest he probably reads it for shits and giggles. Never to make fun of anyone, but he’s honestly just curious about what people are writing.
-He notices that you write a lot, too. You never show him anything, and whenever he asks about it you tell him it’s ‘just work’. He wonders what kinds of projects you’re taking on that involve so much typing and concentration, and ngl he’s a little sad that you don’t tell him about it.
-Like, sure maybe it’s just work and you’re not particularly invested in it, but he always talks about his students, and his shows, and the ongoings at his job, he just wants to know more about what you do.
-He is a smart man, but sometimes he has stupid ideas.
-He concocts the wise plan to sneak onto your laptop while you’re in the shower and read your most recent document. Not being wholly nosey, just enough so he can do a little research on the subject and learn more about it. He just wants to know.
-Throws him for one bigass loop when he sees what you are actually working on. He’s no stranger to kinky shit, but his entire face goes beet red, redder than any fanfiction has ever made him.
-Something about that fact that it’s you who wrote this, and you who’re thinking those things about him, entertaining ideas like that. Like yeah, y’all have slept together but he had absolutely no clue you’d even be into stuff like that.
-And sure, you could just be writing things for your fans, but you also seem pretty knowledgeable on the subject so like. You had to have some interest in it, right?
-And now he’s thinking about trying those things out with you, and his pants are just a tad bit tighter than could be considered comfortable.
-He’s so distracted he doesn’t notice the shower turn off, nor does he hear you walk into the room. He does, however, catch your hideously embarrassed squawk.
-Which then makes him flustered, because he got caught, and you’d better pat yourself on the back for that one because you’re one of the only people that can make him embarrassed like that.
-But then he’s trying to explain himself, and you’re trying to explain yourself, and it’s a whole mess of words and burning cheeks and somehow you end up both admitting that the things you write about would be real fun to try.
-Lol you guys probably just end up in bed together after that,
-But despite the initial awkwardness, he’s pretty cool with it. He likes your writing, and how involved you are with the community. It’s also handy for him because it lets him keep an ear to his fans without digging too deep, you always let him know what kind of stuff everyone is up to.
-best use it to your advantage, tell him all kinds of filthy things that you’ve come across, especially if it something you know he’ll like. It’s a sure way to get him in the mood >u>
SASAKI MIRAI|SIR NIGHTEYE
-He’s nonplussed about whether or not you’re a fan at first. He doesn’t pay you much mind until he scopes out your sense of humour, or until you say something offhandedly and it makes him laugh.
-Fan or not, if you’re funny and you vibe with each other, then he’ll show some kind of interest in you. It’ll take a little while to progress to something romantic, but in the meantime you’ve got a nice friend.
-He’s kinda busy, so you probably don’t invite him over to your place until a couple months in. Your schedules are conflicting, and you’ve both got important jobs to do, so it’s probably been pushed back a couple times. But he finally makes it over one evening for a night of relaxing socialization.
-You know him well enough to know that it wouldn’t bug him that you were a fan of him before you met him. He’s not the kind of person to make a big deal about it, not really. He sees a couple pieces of merch around your apartment, just small things -some of which he’s surprised to managed to get a hold of- and he’s like ‘okay’
-Like, he really doesn’t care. As long as you treat him like a person and you’re not using him for anything, then hes just.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-It’s only afteryou start dating and getting close that he teases you a little bit for it. Not in a rude way, just in an ‘aw you sleep with a plushie of me’ way. He does it so he can fluster you and ruffle your feathers in a loving manner.
-After you move in with him, he notes that you’re on your computer a lot. He figures it’s just an overbearing workload that requires a lot of time, so he reminds you whenever he can to take a break and stretch and give your eyes a rest.
-He’d leave it alone mostly, so in order for him to find out that you’re actually writing smut, he’d have to catch you in the act. He comes home early one evening to get a little extra time with you, and he follows the tapping of the keyboard into your office. You haven’t noticed that he’s even there, that’s how focused you are.
-So he sneaks up behind you with the intent to startle you and wrap you up in a hug, but looking over your shoulder he gets a good view of your screen...and the words on the screen...and his name on the screen...
-It takes you a couple seconds to figure out he’s there, which is dumb because he’s literally just frozen over your shoulder going over the sentences you’ve written as his face gets redder and redder.
-Anyways, he still manages to scare you, and you leap out of your seat and fall onto the floor, but instead of hugging you and saying hello like he originally intended, he’s just kind of frozen on the spot with the pinkest cheeks you’ve seen him have.
-He’s a pretty stoic guy most of the time, at least on the outside. It’s really hard to fluster him, because most of your attempts either make him laugh because you’re cute, or result in some really nice romantic time. He’s just. Not really shy about stuff?
-But this is a whole different thing.
-You’re on the floor dying of embarrassment and telling him not to read, but he is Looking and Not Listening. You just seem so innocent and chill about things, he never would have expect something like this from you. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just really surprising.
-Secretly he’s a little bit pleased that you’re writing this kind of stuff about him, and not some other heroes, but he probably won’t say it out loud. Not to mention your writing is actually really good? Like, it flows perfectly and the descriptions are easy to imagine but not super complicated or convoluted.
-He’s a smart guy, and he knows that fans of heroes are into all kind of things, fanfiction included. He’s not offended by it, by any means. He just never supposed that he’d be popular enough to warrant fanfic about him, let alone written by his own partner.
-He tries to be chill about it, asking you if you’re into that kind of stuff and if you should switch it up in the bedroom a bit. It’s pretty obvious he’s flustered tho. 
-It would probably lead to a good long talk about what sort of stuff you’re both into, after the initial embarrassment dies down. And honestly, he’s home early to spend time with you, so why not just try some stuff out right now?  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-He would definitely read your fics if you want him to, hell, even if you don’t outright ask him he might seek them out out of curiosity. He’s usually busy in the day, but he’ll find time to read through things and give you honest feedback.
-Lol tho if you’re still shy about it, he might make an account with an alias just so he can give you nice comments. It doesn’t take very long for you to figure him out though. He’s got a very specific typing style and his personality shines through, but only people who know him would recognize it.
-I headcanon this guy as a kinky mf ngl, but also as someone who can go without hardcore stuff, y’know? So whether or not you actually want to try out some of your fantasies is up to you, but he’s 100% down for it.

Riptide - Part Ten
Read on AO3 here!
[1] - [2] - [3] - [4] - [5] - [6] - [7] - [8] - [9]
Tumblr media
When you got back to Childe’s apartment, you barely even noticed that the sun had come up. You heard him joking with you over it - something about how happy he is to see your shining face - but you ignored him, too fixated on the note in your hand. 
What was so important to your mother that she would write a letter to you?
What was so important that Shing would keep it?
You felt a hand on your shoulder. “I’ll make breakfast after I clean up,” Childe said. “Take all the time you need.” He hummed as he disappeared into his room, kicking the door closed. You sat on the couch, waiting. When he didn’t come back out after more than a few minutes, you unfolded the letter and started from the beginning. 
To my wonderful daughter,
It pains me that you may not see this
 but I am writing to you anyway. Your father and I have been working for years on our vision research, even though I'm the one that's more invested in it. Your father doesn't know the truth. I've never found it in my heart to tell him. 
I'm dying. And I've known this for awhile now. I wish I could tell you in person, but I don't have much time left. Even as I write this, I'm working to prevent my end. I don't want to leave either of you alone. I don't want you to live the rest of your life without me. And maybe I'm being selfish. I know my benefactor isn't the best person in the world. But no one else would fund my research. No one would listen to me. 
But there is something important I need to tell you: I left a delusion with your father. I was lucky enough to obtain one from the Tsaritsa herself thanks to the vision she granted me. And I intend to pass it on to you. 
You might know of my work by now, and you might be wondering: why would my mother give me something so dangerous? It's because I have faith that you can use it as well as I can. When you got your vision, I knew the Tsaritsa was blessing you. I don't have much time, so I need to tell you how to use it, and what it is capable of. 
Then, the letter ended. Surprised, you flipped it over, hoping you'd find something else. But the page was blank. You read it again and again, but nothing new came to you. "Childe?" You yelled. "Was there more to this letter?" 
Silence followed you. You heard the sloshing of water followed by a drain. A moment later, the door snapped open and your face turned a deep red as Childe stepped out in nothing but a black towel. He grinned at you, brushing back his wet hair. When you realized you were staring, you snapped your eyes away, choosing instead  to look out the window. Childe laughed as he plopped onto the couch beside you. "Nothing that we found, but I'm sure you can guess why it isn't there." 
"Shing wanted to learn how to use a delusion."
"So we can assume that he has a real one. Or a fake one he's confident won't kill him." 
"But why would he keep this part of the letter?" 
"Who knows?" Childe said as he stood up and wandered over to the kitchen. "Bacon and eggs sound good?" 
You glanced at him only to snap your gaze away a second time. "What are you doing?" 
"Making breakfast." 
"Like that? You're not even dressed!"
He was behind the couch in an instant, leaning over the back with his face close to yours. You couldn't help but look up at him, nor could you ignore the smirk he gave you or the amusement in his eyes. "Does it bother you, girlie?"  He said. "Well, you're welcome." 
"Put some clothes on," you said, pushing him away. He laughed and disappeared back into his room. A few minutes later, he emerged with his usual outfit, except the scarf that he tossed over the couch. 
"So breakfast?" 
"Sounds fine," you muttered as you folded the letter and tucked it away into your pocket. You wouldn't get anything else out of it now, but you wished you had the other half. 
"Practice your Hydro control while you wait," Childe said as he grabbed some food from the fridge. 
"How?"
"Remember the shapes I made?" 
"I highly doubt I'll be able to make a bird out of nothing." 
Childe grabbed a cup and filled it with water before setting it on the coffee table in front of you. "You'll learn to pull from the air eventually." 
"How do you make full blades and a polearm from the air?" 
"Lots of
" 
"Practice," you cut him off with a deadpan expression. "I get it." 
He chuckled. "Then do it." 
-----------
For the next half hour, you tried your best to manipulate the water in the cup. At first, you just wanted to pull some from it in no specific shape or way. You managed to swirl it upward for a bit like an inverted tornado, but you lost control and dropped most of it on the table. Childe appeared with a new cup of water before returning to his cooking. Frustrated, you tried again. This time, you managed to make a small star from the water on the table, but only for a few seconds. Still, you felt proud of yourself as you cleaned up the water you spilled just as Childe set a plate down in front of you. It smelled incredible. Your mouth was watering as you cut into the eggs, ignoring Childe's proud smile. 
“So?” He said. You glared at him and kept eating. He just chuckled and shook his head, sitting cross-legged on the floor across from  you. For a while, you both ate in silence. Every time you glanced up, Childe was watching you. You didn’t know why, but you weren't as uncomfortable as you thought you would be. Maybe you’d gotten used to his presence. Maybe you just didn’t care anymore. 
“You must have enjoyed it,” Childe said after swallowing the last of his bacon. “You ate faster than I did.”
“It was
 fine,” You said. 
He grinned. “I’ll take it.” Then, as his hand dropped to the table, his fingers brushed yours. You froze, glancing at them before looking up at him. His head had dropped to his other hand, propped up on the table as he continued to stare back at you. Then, his hand slid further up yours until it was resting over it completely. 
“Childe,” You said. 
“Hm?”
“What are you doing?”
“Holding your hand.”
“... Why?”
“Because I can.”
That baffled you, but then you realized you hadn’t bothered to - or even wanted to - pull away. And he seemed to know this, for he just smiled as his thumb ran along the side of your hand, back and forth in a soothing motion. “But we
”
A knock on the door stopped you. Childe hopped up, glancing through the window before he swung the door open with a grin. “Andrei!” He said as a man dressed in a long, gray coat stood on the porch. 
“We found their warehouse,” Andrei said, breathless. His forehead glistened with sweat, and his breathing was ragged as he held his hand against the door frame. “But they have ruin guards and ruin hunters guarding the place. We think they may have stolen some from our warehouse.”
“Well that’s unfortunate,” Childe said with a dramatic sigh. “Guess I’ll have to go take care of them.” He glanced back at you. “How about you go meet with Zhongli? I’ll tell him
”
“I’m going with you,” You said. 
Childe raised an eyebrow. “Ruin guards aren’t child’s play. So maybe
”
“I can handle it,” You said. “I’m your partner, aren’t I?”
Childe sighed again as he swept a hand through his hair. “I suppose I can’t argue with that logic,” He looked back at Andrei. “So where are we headed?” 
-----------
The warehouse was a rather conspicuous building up the path that ran over Qingxu Pool, and getting to it was far more taxing than it needed to be. The entire pathway and everything around it was a Hilichurl haven, with more Hilichurls than you’d seen in a long time. Each and every one of them wanted to fight you as if it were some sort of competition to see who could knock the two of you down first. You held your own, but Childe was a force of nature, ripping through the masses as if they were nothing but paper. You tried to help by freezing whatever shields you could so he could shatter them, but he was not in the mood to wait for you or anyone else to fight with him. You were grateful that Hilichurl bodies didn’t linger for too long after death or the massacre would have been a terrible sight to behold. 
“It’s for the best,” He said without a smile on his face. “They would’ve killed anyone else that tried to come up here anyway.”
“Then how did anyone else get to this warehouse?”
“Perfect place, isn’t it?”
The two of you stopped in front of a massive warehouse, far bigger than you imagined. It looked like it had been a rushed project, as the wooden planks weren't quite straight and the building seemed to be leaning just slightly to one side. It was stable otherwise, which wasn't really saying much. "This thing is going to come down at any minute." 
"It's been around this long," Childe said. 
"We don't know how long that really is, though." 
"Long enough." He walked toward it with purpose, leaving you to scramble behind him, summoning your catalyst to you back. 
"It's quiet," You said. 
"Too quiet," He agreed. "I hope there's at least something to fight."
"Maybe it would be better if there's not?" 
The look he gave you was one of pure disdain. "Then this trip would have been for nothing." 
"I wouldn't say that," You muttered as he pried the massive door open. Inside, the warehouse was just one big space. At the back. You could see crates overflowing with what might have been delusions, but it was hard to tell from a distance. Between you and those crates, however, were at least half a dozen deactivated ruin guards. You'd never seen so many in one place. But when you went to warn Childe about stepping inside, you realized he was grinning like a schoolboy that had found some candy. 
"This is going to be fun," He said, summoning his polearm. "Try not to get in the way, girlie." 
He took off before you could stop him. He slashed through the first Ruin Guard before it rose, then turned on the second in the blink of an eye. You could only stare as he hopped between each one as if each “kill” was feuling some kind of innate bloodlust that you knew he probably had. You supposed it was different fighting Ruin Guards than people, but he seemed so in the zone you didn’t dare break him out of it. 
A clicking beside you drew your attention away. You leaped to the side as a Ruin Hunter dove at you, its drill spinning so fast it likely would have skewered you if you hadn’t noticed in time. The hunter spun around, sharpening its blade before it pulled it back, ready to strike again. You dodged out of the way a second time and summoned your catalyst. You knew from a couple of your adventures where its weak points were, but you’d never actually fought one before. All the others you’d seen had been smashed or deactivated. But this one was alive and ready to kill. You glanced at Childe who either didn’t notice your plight or assumed you had it handled. 
You had told him you were his partner after all. 
Ruin Guards aren’t child’s play, he’d said. 
I can handle it. 
You were starting to regret those words. 
You dove out of the way a third time and summoned a large icicle, throwing it at the hunter. It sliced it out of the air, but missed a second one that struck it in the chest. But it kept moving, blissfully unaware of the dagger sticking out of its body. You weren’t surprised, as the weak point was much higher on its head. But you had hoped it would slow it down a little. You darted away again, climbing up to the scaffolding overlooking the scene. Childe was finished with his carnage and was now watching you with what you assumed was interest. Bastard. You thought. He could take this thing down with ease. 
Well fine. If he was going to be like that, then you’d just have to put on a show. 
As the hunter finally realized where you were, you jumped down and summoned as many icicles as you could. He ran around it, dodging attacks and throwing them as fast as possible. Many struck their target, but none hit the weak point. The hunter was angled just wrong that it was almost impossible to do. You’d have to attack it from above. But when you went for the scaffolding again, it knocked it down. You cursed under your breath, moving back to the other side of the warehouse.  It followed you, drill arm extended backward.  You hopped up the second scaffolding and jumped. The drill swiped under you as you summoned an icicle on top of its head. When you landed, you swiped your arm down. The icicle slammed into the hunter’s weak point. The monster twitched as it fell to the ground. 
Use your delusion. The words rang in your head, a constant reminder that you were even still carrying it. But with the hunter disarmed, you figured it was worth a shot. You pulled off of your ice, melting it just enough to summon the water. Using your catalyst, you directed the water around the hunter, wrapping it like a rope. Around and around it went, pinning it to the ground. Just as the light on its weak point turned back on, you squeezed your fist. The water and ice slammed deeper into its body, crushing it. The robot collapsed to one side, its light out for good. 
Silence descended over the room aside from your heavy breathing. Your fingers were cold, but there was no ice on your skin. An improvement, you thought, but not perfect. 
Then, Childe started laughing.
Your gaze snapped over to him, perplexed. He was clapping now as he wandered toward you, his own weapons long forgotten. “And here I thought you wouldn’t be able to do it,” He said, leaning forward until his face was even with yours. “I’m glad you could prove me wrong.”
You scowled as you pushed him away. “Were you hoping I’d die or something?”
“Nah,” He said. “You’re better than that.”
“So
”
“You’re pretty cute when you’re angry.”
You stared at him as the heat rose in your cheeks. “What did you just say?”
His eyes gleamed with amusement. “You heard me.”
Was he flirting with you? Here? Now? “What kind of crazy
?”
“Hey!”
You spun around, nearly knocking into Childe. Three men stood in the doorway, eyes wide as they stared at the destruction. “What are you doing here?” The lead man- some tall, lean guy with a pyro vision (delusion?) on his chest - said, though you could hear the tremble in his voice. 
“Putting your parade...” Childe said with a shrug and a sly glance at you, “on ice”
“You can’t be serious,” You said.
He ignored you. “All those delusions in the back are now the property of the Fatui. You may as well leave.”  
“Hell no!” The second one said. “We’re not leaving until the both of you are dead.”
“Bold words,” you muttered. 
Childe hummed in agreement. “You honestly think you can even put up a fight against either of us?”  He clamped a hand down on your shoulder, and you didn’t bother trying to escape from it. “How stupid can you be?”
“We can,” The third one said, taking a brave step forward. He unclipped his delusion from his waist and held it out as if trying to ward off evil. “We know your tricks, Harbinger.”
“Oh?” Childe said, crossing his arms. “And what kind of tricks are those?” 
The man didn’t answer, but the other two lifted their delusions just as he did. Then, all three pulled small daggers out of their pockets, resting the delusions in their hands. “Just you wait,” The leader said. “This is what he’s really after.” 
“Shing?” You said, but all three ignored you as they stabbed their daggers into the delusions. A burst of power nearly knocked you off your feet, but Childe was there to catch you. A mixture of wind and flames shot toward you, but a shield of water disrupted it. “What’s going on?” You said. Childe didn’t answer as circles of their respective elements appeared around the men’s feet. But as it rose higher, you heard screams of agony. The leader grabbed his chest and stumbled into the wall. The second man grabbed his head and fell to his knees. The third stood motionless, his eyes glazed over. You watched, horrified as their bodies began to change. You heard the cracking of bones as they grew. Clothes tore. Skin tightened. One had something akin to armor appear over his skin, but it was spotty, only covering bits and pieces. Another produced a flowing, green cape, but it was torn and ragged. 
“What’s going on?”
“Transformations,” Childe said. “But they’re all wrong.”
“Is that a thing delusions let you do?”
“They shouldn’t be able to,” Childe said as he summoned his daggers. “These delusions are more powerful than I thought.” 
The three men moved forward, but only the leader gained any kind of speed. Childe yanked you behind him before stabbing the man in the chest. But that only enraged the thing more as it swung a deformed fist. Childe parried it and pushed himself back. The two fought for a while as the others finally caught up. You scrambled to summon whatever ice you could, but every strike was brushed off as if it were nothing. Even shots directly to their eyes were ignored. “Get back,” Childe said as he dodged another swing. “I’ll take care of this.”
You rushed away as the three descended on him. “Childe!”
A flash of purple erupted from his body. The men were launched backwards as someone new appeared in Childe’s place; a taller man covered in armor. His mask was now holding a single, large red gem of some kind, and his weapons were back to their purple hue. You could only stare as he shot at the men, stabbing each one through with little care. They fought back, but bursts of electricity stunned them. Childe pinned one to the ground, then turned on another. Black blood splattered the floor, and you found yourself closing your eyes as he turned on the third. 
Again, everything went silent. 
A moment later, a distorted voice spoke. “Come on, girlie. I’m not that scary.”
You opened your eyes to see that the armored man was now directly in front of you, his purple cape flowing in the nonexistent wind. He was so much taller now, towering over you as he floated at least a foot off the ground. Childe propped his polearm up one his shoulder, staring down at you. You didn’t know what he was thinking. You couldn’t even see his face. “Transformation,” was all you said. 
“A proper transformation,” Childe said as he dropped to the floor. In another flash, the armor vanished and he returned to normal. “It’s unfortunate I had to use it on these clowns, but what can you do.”
“They’re
”
“Dead?” He said. “They were dead already. Walking husks of
 something.” He glanced behind him, but you couldn’t look. You didn’t want to see what he’d left behind. “This is something new. Something that wasn’t in your mother’s diary. At least, not as far as I can remember.” He turned back, his eyes trailing to something behind you. “We need to destroy these delusions.”
“But what if breaking them causes that?” You said, nodding toward the men. 
Childe brought his finger to his chin, glancing down at you. “I don’t think it will
 but you’re right. That is a risk we shouldn’t take. But there’s another way we could dispose of them if we get them back to the harbor.”
“I don’t think the Fatui should be spotted carrying a wagon load of delusions back into Liyue.”
Childe hummed again, clearly in agreement. “I’ll talk to Andrei. Get some of our men to patrol the area. The Hilichurls we killed will be back in a day or two, so I don’t think we’ll have much trouble.”
“Unless more people
 transform.”
“That is our biggest concern at the moment,” Childe said. “But if rumors spread that these transformations kill you
”
“Would that happen to me?” You whispered, finally looking at the bodies. It was a horrifying mess, and all you could imagine was your own body doing that. Breaking apart. Twisted. Freezing. 
“No,” Childe said. “Your delusion is real, and any transformation you managed to pull off would be closer to mine.” He grinned lazily as he put his hand back on your shoulder. “But you can’t be afraid of it.” 
“Look at them!” You said. “Of course I’m
”
“But you can’t be,” Childe interrupted. “If you ever reach a point you need to use it, embrace it and you will control it.”
You went silent, eyes flickering back to his. You thought he might have looked pleased with himself. Instead, he looked pensive, staring at you without really seeing you. You knew his mind was much farther away than the warehouse. “We need to talk to my father,” You said. “He has to know something.”
Childe blinked, and his eyes refocused. “I’ll look into it.”
“No,” you said. “I need to talk to him. He won’t open up to you.”
“And you think he’ll talk to you?”
You hesitated.  “I have to try.”
Childe sighed. “Fine. Just give me a few days to scout out the area.”
You nodded as your eyes rested back on the bodies, lost in thought.

Genshin impact characters as gamers
Characters: Abedo, Kaeya, Diluc, Childe, Zhongli, Jean, Hu Tao, and Lisa
content warnings: Childe being kinda an asshole lol.
authors note: I might do more in the future! These are just my headcanons so if you don't agree that cool! Feel free to let me know what you think they're like as gamers!!
Albedo:
what they look for in a game: Albedo seems like the type to enjoy games with vast worlds that involve lots of exploration and puzzles. I also feel like he like more quiet gameplay- if that makes any sense. Very much "Show, don't tell." Likes walking simulators!
things that turn them off from a game: He dislikes when games over-explain themselves/their plots. He likes to be able to unfold the mysteries and plot threads himself instead of being spoonfed. He also dislikes voice chat bc people are mean. If there is a VC he mutes basically everyone even if it makes teamwork difficult.
how much time do they devote to videogames: Albedo really only plays videogames on days off or when alchemy research has hit a lull.
a game or games that I think they'd like: outer wilds, shadow of the colossus, and journey.
Tumblr media
Kaeya:
what they look for in a game: Story-rich games with unique art that explore heavy topics or philosophical themes! but also really likes multiplayer games where he can troll lol.
things that turn them off from a game: If he dislikes the art he finds it hard to play or pay attention to. This doesn't mean he demands picture-perfect graphics! He's mostly into unrealistic and eye-catching graphics/art he likes games with style and flair!
how much time do they devote to video games: Kaeya likes to play after a long day of work to unwind and relax!
a game or games that I think they'd like: Disco Elysium and the persona series!
Tumblr media
Diluc:
what they look for in a game: Diluc is a very busy man who likes to be in control of his life and the things that affect it. Therefore I have come to the conclusion that he likes simple and sweet games with low stakes where he is mostly in control if not basically god haha.
things that turn them off from a game: Games that involve him to be emotionally invested or have lots of stressors are not his thing. Games are played to relieve his stress, not make him cry over character death.
how much time do they devote to video games: He likes to play a little bit on his break when he gets the chance or a little bit after work. Doesn't like to play for too long each day or he feels unproductive!
a game or games that I think they'd like: the sims, planet zoo, my time at Portia, stardew valley, and ANIMAL CROSSING!! (I dont care if this is OOC okay. Diluc plays animal crossing on his lunch break. His favorite villagers are the bird ones. His favorite fruits are apples and cherries, and he loves terraforming his island. He finds it therapeutic.)
Tumblr media
Childe:
what they look for in a game: loves gacha games, he's a total whale, and loves to flex his pulls. Also loves games with intense competitive multiplayer and couch co-op games. Absolutely a sore winner who everyone hates playing jack box with.
things that turn them off from a game: Dislikes the story mode of most games bc they usually fail to keep this attention. He'd much rather be making yo mama jokes and shit-talking n00bs over the mic like the little asshole gremlin he is. The only exception so far is "The Last of Us," because of one time when the internet was shitting out on him during matchmaking. He decided to play the story while his connection got itself together and ended up liking it.
how much time do they devote to video games: Stays up late playing them at night a LOT. They're usually the reason he's tired the next day.
a game or games that I think they'd like: mario kart, smash bros, arknights, mortal kombat, apex, and dead by daylight.
Tumblr media
Zhongli:
what they look for in a game: Zhongli likes simple games with cute graphics and easy controls. Mostly a mobile gamer as he finds most console game controls confusing. Loves virtual remakes of classic games that he used to play with other people physically.
things that turn them off from a game: Really dislikes first-person shooters. He finds them loud and disorienting. Poor old man.
how much time do they devote to videogames: Barely ever plays, might play while having a cup of tea or to pass the time while waiting for something!
a game or games that I think they'd like: mahjong, solitaire, candy crush, and those lumosity games for training your brain.
Tumblr media
Jean:
what they look for in a game: At first when jean thought of video games the only thing that came to mind was "a waste of time." As the acting grand master of the knights of Favonius she rarely has time to socialize or even date. That's when she decided to maybe just maybe give dating sims a shot. She's a bit insecure about it, but they give her butterflies without the strain of a real relationship.
things that turn them off from a game: Really dislikes games that glorify villainy or have you play as the bad guy. She also really hates horror games. Fun fact, she played doki doki literature club but missed the warning somehow and WOW she got really upset-
how much time do they devote to video games: As mentioned previously Jean is a busy gal. So she really only gets to play games on her rare days off or maybe just a little before bed.
a game or games that I think they'd like: I don't know a lot of sweet and fluffy dating sims but I feel like the sweet and fluffy ones are her favorite! I've really only played one dating sim before and that was monster prom so I'm gonna use that for the example lol. I know there's a lot of mischief in that game but she always chooses the more moral upstanding choice even if it cost her a date haha.
Tumblr media
Hu Tao:
what they look for in a game: Hu Tao is partial to games with gothic aesthetics and horror elements! Specifically really loves psychological horror and unique creature design. Enjoys difficult gameplay and feels a sense of accomplishment when she succeeds!
things that turn them off from a game: When a game is too easy to play she gets bored rather quickly.
how much time do they devote to video games: Frequently plays really late at night while listening to a paranormal podcast or other spooky content.
a game or games that I think they'd like: Dark souls, Darkwood, The cat lady, rule of rose.
Tumblr media
Lisa:
what they look for in a game: Like Childe, Lisa likes competitive gameplay. But she's more into fantasy MMO RPGs! She just really loves fantasy things it doesn't have to be multiplayer. Also really likes games with lots of lore and digs strategy turn-based combat! Other game types she likes are visual novels or anything with a good story-driven narrative. Loves being able to discuss fan theories online in forums.
things that turn them off from a game: Mediocre writing, poor/inconsistent world-building, or a lack of lore. She needs a story to sink her teeth into or she just won't play.
how much time do they devote to video games: Probably plays a lot. Really only pausing to correct people's behavior in the library!
a game or games that I think they'd like: World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, League of legends, Darkest dungeon, and slay the spire.

<- Pt.3
"Hobi, I don't wanna be mad. I just wanna know the truth,” you pleaded, voice wavering. And that was the truth, you felt like you could care less if he was in a gang. It was Alcorn, you had to be in a gang to survive if you weren't rich.
Upon seeing your eyes water and your lip tremble, Hoseok instantly wished you would scream at him. He didn't want to hurt you. He didn't mean for it to go this far. For you two to get so close after his sister's death, or for him to lie to you for so long. He told himself he kept you out of it for your safety, but really it was just too easy for him to live two lives, for you to look at him like he wasn't a murderer and for him to pretend for a few hours that he wasn't. 
He sighed, sitting on the couch, and you plopped down next to him and waited patiently for him to gather his thoughts. 
"I guess it's best to start at the very beginning, which was when I was around 16," he started. 
"I lived in the same neighborhood as these two guys RM and Suga. They had actually served some time for getting busted with another gang, the Dime Lions, they're long gone now but basically, some shit went down during some kind of gang raid, and RM and Suga ended up taking the fall for it. Instead of the Dime Lions busting them out of jail, they left them there and basically disowned them afterward."
You nodded along to let him know you were following. 
"Anyways RM and Suga, they had a rough start when they got out of the gang, both were bastards, street rats on the Westside they never had anyone to look out for them. So they did the only thing they could do at the time to survive, which was breaking it to cars and shit and cleaning them out. I don't just mean personal belongings of these guys took engine parts, piping, tiers they took it all, and sold it to any scrap shops they could find. At the time, I was working at my uncle's scrapyard. I knew RM and Suga when they were in middle school before they joined the Dime Lions. They stayed with the foster family that lived in my neighborhood. I knew they had been kicked out of the house and were basically living with the Lion's, so when I saw they were working alone, I got curious. For a year or so, I convinced my uncle to continue buying from them even when he started getting a little suspicious about the guys stealing. The guys knew I looked out for them, and we were cool for a while. Then my mom got sick," he paused for a moment looking away from you.
You reached out and placed your hand on his leg knowing how hard it was for him to talk about his mom and Dawon. 
Collecting himself, Hoseok went on, "So I asked for an in with the guys, I needed money and I knew cars. I could remove the parts more effectively than they could. I also knew some clientele who were always coming by and buying parts because they flip cars for fun, those guys were easy targets. So I guess the three of us were a little gang of misfits for a while, I used the money to help pay for mom's treatment. They used the money to survive.
Then we started taking some younger ones under our wing. RM and Suga got their own place and opened their doors to some kids in a rough spot like they were. But as we got bigger, we started getting sloppy. We had been at it for about a year at this point. The guys started taking on some other jobs, but I stuck to what I did best. I wasn't really interested in broadening my horizons. Like I said, we had been at it for a while, and I got cocky, I guess. We had a few scuffles here and there, but we always got out of them okay. Then one night, we got busted scraping a car at some guy's house, and he shot me in the leg, and the cops got me. RM ended up bailing me out of jail, and Suga, Suga got me a gun." 
He shifted in his seat and looked at you nervously, "I wanted out at this point, mom was basically on her deathbed, and I was all Dawon had. I couldn't risk going to jail, ya know. I owed RM money for bail, but my uncle got me a job as an actual mechanic, I thought I could earn money the honest way, pay them back and then Dae and I could just go back to our lives. But then the doctors told us about some experimental treatment that could possibly cure mom. How the hell could I pass that up? I would have done anything to help her get better." his brows furrowed as he tightened his fist into balls.
 "So I stayed. At this point, BTS was growing, it was an official gang, tattoo and all. We had recruited Jin, who came from money, he used some of his trust fund to fund BTS and help us grow, and RM was starting to get a little ambitious. He wanted territory, he wanted me to take the tattoo and be his third." Hobi squeezed his eyes shut as he let out a sigh, he felt like he had to force the words out of him to confess his sins to you. 
"I told you Suga got me a gun after the arrest, and it ended up I'm a really good shot, so good I didn't even have to kill a guy for a long time. I researched where to shoot to keep someone down for a long while without it being fatal, so that's what I did. I worked a few more jobs for RM, we did a big heist. Actually, that was our big break. A team of six other guys and I broke into this old rich dude's mansion, nearly cleaned out his safe when we split the money most of the guys put a percentage into my pot. I walked out that night with almost enough to pay for mom's treatment in full. 
I told RM I wouldn't be his third, and he offered me an out, I just needed to take one more job for him, and he would pay out the rest of mom's bills, so that's what I did. I killed for the first time, and then I was free. I wouldn't have to do any of it again. Well, that's what I intended," he paused, his voice growing softer. 
You tried to keep your face neutral as he revealed the horrors to you. Not that it mattered Hoseok couldn't even bring himself to look at you.
"Mom ended up passing that night." he laughed, a bitter sound that felt foreign to the kind man you knew, "I swear whatever cruel god is out there pulling all the strings did it to punish me. To let me know, they saw what I had become and that I didn't deserve to have people I love in my life. I wasn't good enough to feel love in this world," 
"Hobi, that's not-" he cut you off with a bitter laugh as he looked upwards to hold back his tears. The motion made him seem as though he was searching for the fates he mocked. "Don't y/n, I know what I am,"
"Dae was a senior when mom passed, and it absolutely broke her. I had to fight to get her to go to school for those last few months. Hell, it was a fight to get her out of bed for her graduation. Her exit exams were a disaster, and the councilors at the college were understanding, for the most part. They still admitted her to the school, but not a drop of financial aid was offered to her. She deserved so much more," Hobi's voice was laced with bitter disdain, his eyes looking far off. 
"So I did everything I could to give it to her. I borrowed from Namjoon, enough to cover her entire admission at Alcorn University."
"Hobi, that's so much," you couldn't hold the comment in. It was near impossible for an ordinary person to buy their way into Alcorn if they didn't get scholarships, the tuition at the prestigious school was over $20,000 a semester for admission alone. 
"And I did it, I had Jin make up a fake scholarship for her, send her a cute little letter telling her about the award. She thought that she earned a full ride, and I let her believe it. I even borrowed enough so she would stay in the dorms, I figured it would be safest to keep her out of the house. I didn't know what kind of jobs RM was going to have me do."
"I took the tattoo, and killing became more of a normal thing for me. It started to get easier, I kept my distance and tried my hardest to not even see their eyes. 
There was a big turf war that year. I don't know, the city was on the brink of a recession, a lot of big players in the city were changing the rules of the game. Business owners fought to take down other businesses simply so theirs could stay open, the market was a disaster. I never cared about the politics of any of it, I just did what I was told, and because of that, I'm still not totally sure all I did that year. What lives I took. Who all I hurt. I did everything I could to forget those nights and the blood. I told myself I was doing it for a good reason, ya know. 
I didn't want to know, I thought I would save that for the day I'm standing outside of hell, and they list off every single one of my evil deeds before they sentence their judgment." Hoseok's vacant eyes started to shine with tears.
 "And that was the stupidest fucking thing I could have ever done. I had no clue who had it out for me, I had started feeling invincible. I didn't even consider that someone would want to take their revenge, I had killed Kim Martin Sr.'s son." 
Your blood chilled at the name, and he didn't look at you as he continued.
"He was some big business owner or something, I was supposed to kill him, but there was a mix-up, and I got his son, Kim Martin Jr. instead. Whoever made the call decided that killing his son was just as effective because the grief practically destroyed him. A few misguided stock investments, while he was grieving, crashed his empire. He lost everything and had to move to the Westside in the aftermath. 
Suga kept good tabs on the guy, but then he fell off the grid. We figured he left town or hell maybe he died. We didn't consider him a threat, he showed no interest in coming after BTS, so I didn't even think to keep an eye out for Dawon."
You felt hot tears roll down your face as you realized what happened. The media painted Martin as the bad guy. They accused him of losing his business after his son died due to extreme drug abuse. The city officials wrote him off as such a pathetic low life, that come the time of his death that his murder was barely investigated. It was simply declared a drug deal gone wrong. But he was a father, a father who lost everything to a hitman and wanted to return the favor. 
Hoseok believed he didn't deserve love. Whatever higher power that was calling the shots took everything away from him as punishment. 
You think of your best friend now long passed, her beautiful smile and contagious laugh. The way she could always read you and knew exactly what you needed, whether it be your favorite ice cream on your period or a trip to the botanical gardens in the middle of the night when she knew you were missing home a bit more than normal.
There was a loose glass in the greenhouse that hosted the plants native to your home. You would both scale the fence to the gardens late at night and push that glass panel in and carefully crawl into the greenhouse. The air would be filled with the floral scents you grew up with, and you would just walk the rows of plants and run your fingers over the velvet petals and waxy leaves. 
Until Dawon would play music, a playlist the two of you made of songs in your native tongue. You would dance around the humid greenhouse singing on the top of your lungs while Dawon would laugh and clap along, excitedly shouting with you when she recognized a word or two. 
You thought about the way you and Hoseok both carried a burden of guilt after she passed. Until now, you had felt like you failed her as a best friend and roommate. 
For three years, you had tortured yourself with thoughts like if you hadn't procrastinated so much on your assignments that week, you would have been home when she decided to make a late snack run. You told yourself the robber probably wouldn't have stopped her if you were together. You reasoned that two of you would have deterred her as a target. 
Or maybe he would have just shot you instead. Dawon would have recovered from the loss so much better, she had Hoseok to comfort her and family and friends to support her. You were merely an exchange student in a city with no morals, loved by no one, but taken in out of guilt by her brother. It would've been a better trade. 
You tortured yourself with these thoughts day and night consumed with feelings similar to survivor's guilt.
You never understood Hoseok's guilt, until tonight, you felt like there was nothing he could have done to make that night play out differently. But now you realize he could have anything, and it might have made a difference. 
"Y/n, I understand if you hate me," Hoseok said softly, watching the tears that dripped down your cheek as you processed everything he told you.
"I wanted to honor Dawon's wish. I didn't expect you to do so much for me, for you to become my best friend and for you to make me feel normal. I kept this from you because you were the closest thing to her I had left. There was a time where I thought I would distance myself from you when you moved out. That I would just become another hazy detail to the tragedy, and you would move on completely with your life, but y/n you were so sad, and you needed me too. 
When you moved out, I was terrified of something happening to you. I couldn't stop myself from checking up on you. I couldn't let us grow apart." Hoseok's voice broke off as you looked at him, the pain and betrayal in your eyes.
 "Y/n, you're the closest thing I have to redemption, protecting you, being your friend is the last thread of humanity I have left, I can't lose you," he pleaded. 
"You watched me blame myself," you whispered accusingly, your eyes shining with betrayal. 
"You watched me tear myself apart, and used comforting me to make you feel better about yourself?" 
He flinched at your words, "I tried everything I could to convince you there was nothing you could have done," Hobi argued feebly. 
"Everything but tell the truth," you hissed as hot tears rolled down your cheek. 
You got up as a sob escaped you, your face red and snot running from your nose. Hoseok stood with you, but you flinched away with a broken no.
 "I need time, Hoseok," you begged. 
You swallowed thickly as you did everything in your power to keep it together, "I don't want to hate you, but please, I need time to think about everything," you assured. Even knowing what he did, he was right. You needed him too. If you lost him, you truly didn't have anyone in the city who cared if you lived or died tomorrow. And maybe settling for that made you your own kind of monster. 
It was funny how he claimed such a tarnished person could be his redemption. 
You secure your bag to your shoulder, stepping out into the night air and pulling the door closed behind you. You couldn't even bring yourself to lock the door behind you, afraid that if you stopped moving for one second that you would completely break down and be unable to make it home. You only hoped Hoseok was smart enough to check the door behind you and make sure to lock it. 
You counted the stairs as you made your descent and into the parking lot, making an effort to take in your surroundings. You tried to list off the colors of the cars as you passed them, and while some distant part of you did the action, you still felt like the effort wasn't reaching whatever corner of your brain you were hiding in. 
You got a lot better with controlling your anxiety attacks as you made it further in college, even going as far as taking advantage of the university's free therapy sessions to get professional guidance in your junior year. You defaulted to your go-to grounding technique as your feet moved of their own accord to carry you home. 5,4,3,2,1 was an exercise that made you aware of your surroundings and tether yourself to this world when your mind felt a dimension away. 
The technique walked you through your five senses, making you list off 5 things you could see, 4 things you could feel, 3 things you could hear, two things you could smell, and one thing you could taste. Even in your most anxious moments, you were a slut for making a good list. You always found this exercise more soothing than any breathing technique. 
Your eyes searched without really seeing as you tried to find five things you could see around you. Straining yourself to really take in your surroundings, you settled for a yellow fire hydrant, a car parked on the side of the road, a penny on the ground, a drainage inlet tucked into the curb, and finally your own yellow shoes pacing down the concrete sidewalk. 
You were going to be okay, you reminded yourself as you took an intentional breath. 
Next, four things you can touch, you focused on your breathing as you reached an arm out to graze your fingertips along with the rough brick of the building you walked by.
You shifted a little more with each step, concentrating on how the fabric of your clothes moved across your skin and curling your toes into the padding of your shoes. You didn't count each feeling, your wandering mind struggling to really take in each sensation, but you were sure you touched four things by now.
This was a mistake you often caught yourself making when counting down like this. Sometimes you were in such a rush to reach the end and get to one as if identifying one taste would magically make all your anxieties go away that you forget to take it slow and really center yourself. 
Three things you can hear, it was at the time, as you strained to let the world in through the all-consuming pounding of your heart in your ears, that you realized you were whimpering to yourself slightly. The awareness of your own vulnerability made you stumble as your mind spiraled, and you struggled to find something to tether you back to the earth. 
You began walking faster before realizing you're not certain you were going the right way. So you came to a halt, realizing you couldn't bring yourself to focus enough to take in your surroundings. You stared at the street sign for a long time, repeating the letters to yourself as you made them form a word finally settling on Gardenia. 
Your breathing hitched as you realized you had wandered off the main streets and into a neighborhood in your daze. You were lost, but you couldn't bring yourself to care about it, and the lack of fear flashed an alarm in your mind that let you know you were too far gone to count away your anxieties.
You struggled to breathe as you tried to come up with a decision. You needed to ground yourself to calm down. You needed to list off 5 things you could see, fourth things you could feel, three things you could hear, two things you could smell, and one thing you could taste. You knew the only way to bring yourself back to the world was to become aware of your settings. 
But it felt as if the part of your brain that knew all these things didn't even touch whatever part of your mind was controlling you now. You were better off giving directions to the light pole you stood under. 
You felt your breathing get harder as you desperately gasped in all the air you could. Your arms and legs began to tingle as your body over oxidized, and your head began to spin. 
Slowly you slumped to the ground, wrapping your arms around the light pole you had stopped under as you spiraled. 
What were you even doing before this moment? How did you even get here? You forced your eyes open wide, hoping the action would make you actually see and register what you were looking at to no avail. 
What were you doing, what were you doing, what were you doing?
You struggled to reign in your thoughts of your laughing best friend and her crying brother. Or was it your crying best friend and his dead sister? 
You were supposed to find three things you could hear. Your crying doesn't count. A more logical voice seemed to get through to you. 
You strained your ears to hear past your own breathing, you could hear a frog croaking in the grass nearby, you felt the earth beneath you to confirm you had in fact settled in a patch of grass. You smiled to yourself proud of your progress as you continued to listen as you continued to listen. You heard the electricity buzzing in the light pole you had wrapped your arms around, you felt almost childlike as you opened your eyes. Actually, seeing this time as you looked up at the pole, you were around. 
You needed one more sound, you strained your ears, expecting to be met with something like a far off car driving by. Instead, you heard your name being called. You blinked as you turned away from the street lamp and towards the repeating sound of a familiar set of syllables coming from a familiar voice. 
Jungkook jogged up to as he saw you curled around a lamppost. Even from a distance, he could see the rapid way your chest was rising and falling in that familiar chaotic rhythm he only saw when he found Taehyung or Yoongi having a panic attack. You looked up at him with a tear-stained face and saw the confusion of his presence take you off guard and snap whatever control you had over yourself. 
Your face crumpled as a sob broke from your chest, and you turned away from him and curled yourself around the light pole a little tighter. 
Jungkook felt such a rush of guilt and panic at the sight of you so broken that he ignored the dull ache in his knees as he instinctively fell down in the grass next to you, wrapping his arms around you and pulling you from the cold metal pole, trying to position comfortably in his chest. 
Jungkook shifted as he uncurled his legs from beneath his body and stretched them out next to yours in front of him, trying to touch as much of his body to you in comfort. You didn't resist, but the jolting motions did seem to make you more upset for a short moment. Jungkook realized he forgot to ask for permission to touch you before he acted. 
He knew Tae preferred physical comfort to calm down, but sometimes it could act more as a trigger when unwelcomed. He loosened his grip hesitantly, and you wrapped your arms around his middle, hugging him closer to you in response. 
Physical contact is. He thought to himself as he began stroking one hand up and down your back and rocking you both side to side slightly as if he was trying to calm a baby from a tantrum. 
Which he basically was doing, you thought bitterly to yourself as you accepted the comfort.
You were too far gone to calm yourself down. You had ridden the river of upsetting thoughts that triggered your attack all the way down, and now you risked floating out to sea and losing yourself forever. Not actually forever, just until you would cry yourself unconscious and wake up to start anew. But you supposed accepting comfort was better than sleeping outside in a neighborhood you didn't know. 
Jungkook whispered to you, not the sweet nothings people typically say when they see people break down like 'it's going to be okay,' or most annoyingly 'breath.' No Jungkook simply told you, 'you're safe,' 'take your time,' 'you're stronger than you give yourself credit for' and in your case most importantly, 'exhale.' 
When people see you having a panic attack and hear the loud gasp you make as you fight to breathe, they instinctively tell you to breathe as a way to calm down. But it's your failure to let the air out that keeps your body over oxidized, making it harder for you to feel in control of yourself. 
Slowly, you regained control of your body, and your desperate gasps for air morphed into shallow panting. Your shallow breathing morphed into soft whimpers and sniffled. Jungkook held you as your continuous knit itself together, and you faced the pain your mind was so desperate to escape.
He rubbed you back as you let out soft sobs as you reopened wounds that had healed into jagged scars. You cried for Dawon and her undeserved death. For Hoseok and the guilt you knew, he carried every day. You cried for Kim Martin, who died at the hands of the killer that stole his son. You cried for yourself, over the fear of the future as you saw it grow intimately tangled with a notorious gang.
You don't know how long Jungkook waited as you reeled yourself back together. He waited long after you finished crying, knowing just because you had control of yourself physically didn't mean you were mentally ready to face the world, so he wrapped you in his warmth and hummed to himself as he rocked you both slowly. 
You loosened and tightened your grip on his shirt and curled and uncurled your toes as you tried to become more aware of your body. You were basically sprawled out on the grass with your upper body twisted and pulled into Jungkook's middle. It wasn't the most comfortable position, but you weren't willing to risk losing his warmth to move. 
You licked your lips, and the jarring taste of your salty tears pulled you from your self pitying thoughts, deciding to work your way up the list you once again started to count. 
One thing you taste, salt. 
Two things you smell: you inhaled deeply and took in the smell of laundry detergent that clung to Jungkkook's shirt. "Detergent," you mumbled into his shirt, and the sound of a coherent word leaving you made Jungkook's humming stop as he looked down at you, nuzzling your face deeper into his chest. He held in his chuckle as you stiffed the air again, and confidently said, "and grass."
You finally pulled yourself away from him only slightly to turn your face away from him, your cheek still pressed against his chest.
"I can hear frogs, cars nearby, and.. your heart," you listed as you looked up at him from under you thick lashes still clumped with tears, "it's louder than mine," you observed as you listened to the hammering in his chest. 
He was from a different kind of nerves. 
He recognized the countdown and realized you were working to ground yourself, "What can you feel?" he prompted eager to get you to move on from his pounding heart. 
"Your t-shirt, it's soft, the grass poking at me through my jeans, my bra digging into me" you wrinkled your nose as you became aware of the discomfort. 
"And?" Jungkook prompted. A smile curled your lips as you looked up at him mischievously, "You're abs," you giggled as you sat up, finally pulling away from him. Jungkook felt the heat crawl up his neck as he turned away, rubbing the back of his neck bashfully. 
"And what do you see?" he asked gently, looking everywhere but you. 
You smiled at his bashfulness as you look around, "I see the street sign, the green grass," you pause as you squint, "I think that's either a rock or some dog poop over there," Jungkook let out a startled laugh. You smiled to yourself proudly as you continued. 
"Our shadows from the street light, and,” you pause realizing how close the two of you are, "the little mole underneath your lip."
"Good," he whispered, and you watched in fascination how his lips formed the words, "Are you ready to get up now, or do you need a few minutes?" he asked. It was the way his mouth twisted into a smile at the end of the sentence that made you realize you were still staring at his lips. You blinked before looking up at his eyes, which was alight with a teasing glint. 
"I can stand," you answered, flustered as you pulled your body away from him. Maneuvering your feet beneath you to get up. Jungkook offered you a hand once he was up helping pull you to your feet, before bending down and grabbing your purse for you. Your feet still tingled in that pins and needles feeling. You wiggled your hands to wake up your fingers as well, but other than that, you felt like you recovered from the physical toll of the panic attack quite well.
"C'mon my place is at the end of this road, let me grab a car and drive you home," he offered. 
You walked with him obediently, your hands brushing past each other twice before Jungkook's hand finally snatched yours mid-swing; you looked down and watched as your fingers intertwined with his effortlessly. You looked to him to see a change in his expression, but he looked straight ahead as he walked, acting as if nothing happened. 
You smiled at yourself, thankful for the affection. You always did get a little clingy after panic attacks, relying heavily on skinship and the feeling of someone taking care of you as a way to feel calm. You were surprised how easy it was for you to let Jungkook fall into that roll despite barely knowing him. But you suppose in the handful of interactions the two of you shared, he's always prioritized your comfort and safety. 
"This is your house?" you asked as you took in the massive white art deco house behind the gate you stopped in front of. The gate buzzed and rolled open for the two of you of its own accord and rolled open for the two of you. 
Jungkook smiled sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck, "Yeah, kinda," he said with a shrug. 
You raised a brow, "kinda?"
"It's complicated, c'mon let's get you home," he said with a tug reminding you that the two of you were still holding hands. You flushed but followed obediently as you made your way to the garage. 
You squinted as your eyes were met with a flood of fluorescent light upon opening the door. A row of vehicles lined its way down the length of the garage, varying from sports car, to jeep, to a large black truck at the end of the row. A line of 4 motorcycles along the furthest wall. 
"J-Hope sells Namjoon a car any chance he gets," Jungkook chuckled as he took in your awed expression. 
"J-Hope?" you questions, and Jungkook's smile faltered.
"That's what we call Hoseok," he clarified. 
You nodded in understanding, "Like how Taehyung goes by V?" you asked, and he nodded. 
"Hoseok, does he sell drugs like V does?" you asked curious of what all Hoseok's gang involvement entailed.
Jungkook opened his mouth to answer but was cut off as the adjacent door slammed up from what looked to be inside the house, revealing a man in a black t-shirt with a mop of platinum blond hair. 
"There you are," he practically growled as he stormed in the room.
The man was dwarfed by Jungkook a good bit, but somehow Jungkook seemed to cower and appear smaller as the man approached, dropping your hand as if he were caught doing something he shouldn't. 
You looked at him curiously and wondered if he was. 
"Yoongi hyung," he greeted as he tried to force a smile, "I was just about to-" 
"Save it," he snapped, "I have half the army out looking for you, ya know," he turned his fury to you much to your surprise as he added "both of you." 
Your mouth fell open, shocked by the confusion apparent on your face as he continued, "Do I need to babysit both of you, because believe it or not, she's taking up a lot of my time. I really can't handle you getting flakey on me Jungkook, we need to know that you're safe," 
Jungkook looked down as he lectured, murmuring a small apology. 
"And you" Yoongi turned to you, "That goes for you too, the Black Tips are still on your tail, I can't do much for you if you go running off,"
"Hyung," Jungkook hissed. "Not now, please." 
Yoongi blinked at his younger in surprise, turning to you and making a point to really look at you, and take you in. Your red-rimmed eyes and splotchy face, the way you seemed to lean into Jungkook. He recognized that far off look in your eyes like you had to concentrate on being present in the moment, and Yoongi remembered the warning in Hoseok's earlier message when he told him you had run out.
"Yeah, okay, get her home and come straight back when you're done, we still need to talk," he said dismissively. None of your questions were answered, but you didn't resist as Jungkook put a hand on your back and guided you towards a nearby car. 
"Good night, princess," Yoongi called over his shoulder before closing the door behind him. Unlike with Jimin, you felt like you were being mocked when Yoongi called you that.
"Who was that, your brother, and why did he say he needs to babysit me?" you questioned as you both settled into the fine black vehicle the windows were so deeply tinted on the outside you wondered if it was safe to drive at night, but upon getting in the car, you noted that you could see through the windows clearly. 
Jungkook waited until after he put the key in the ignition and backed out into the driveway before he started talking."That's Yoongi hyung or Suga, he's head of surveillance for BTS. He was the one who sent out a message to go escort you home when J– Hobi Hyung told him you were upset and left his apartment so late. I was on my way in that direction when I ran across you on our street," he said, breaking at a stop sign and turning on the blinker.
You looked out the window as you took in everything he's told you, noting that you were stopped again by the light pole you had a panic attack under. Suga was one of the original members in Hoseok's story. You thought to yourself as you connected the dots. Your head still felt a little foggy as you recovered from the literal mental breakdown. The sudden change of lighting earlier had started to make your head throb. You were ready for bed.
"Hobi sent people to look for me?" was all you could manage, not entirely understanding the emotions stirring in your chest. 
"Well yeah, I mean, I was supposed to escort you home after work, and you kind changed plans, so we had to roll with them. I figured Hoseok would have taken you home after everything, so I didn't wait around. And then when Suga did send out the message I didn't notify them that I found you it was dumb on my part," he clarified. 
You leaned onto the console between the two of you, propping your cheek upon your hand in a way that squished your lips into a slight pout. Jungkook tried not to stiffen as you got more in his space. Peeking down at you through his peripherals he saw your brow furrow as you processed everything. 
"Why do you care?" you finally settled on asking as you still struggled to pinpoint why so many people would be worried about your safety.
Hoseok, you understood, to a certain extent, you even understood why he called in the favor. He knew your patterns and signs, you were probably shouting you were about to have an attack with your body language as you walked out the door. He knew he could never comfort you, not when he was the trigger. What you didn't understand was why BTS would listen.
"Because you're still not safe, and BTS took responsibility for your safety when I did," Jungkook said, simply turning to look at you as he stopped at a red light. 
If you were in the right state of mind, such a comment would have triggered an immediate fight. You had been on your own for far too many years to suddenly need a whole gaggle of men to tend to you as if you were some helpless girl. You were a grown-ass woman. But you weren't yourself as you searched for a response in the fog of your mind. 
"You're not responsible for anything about me?" you said softly as you shifted to rest your hand on your chin. 
"Y/n what all did Hoseok hyung tell you?" Jungkook asked, confused, you weren't rejecting his protection, you just seemed oblivious. He assumed the cat was out of the back as soon as you learned what BTS was, who they were concerning you. 
"Just how he joined BTS as how he ya know," you stuck your pointer finger and thumb in the air making soft 'pew pew' sounds. You couldn't bring yourself to talk seriously about the subject. Too much of this night had been severe for your liking. 
"Y/n, you saved my life last week," Jungkook said, trying to look in your eyes and convey all his gratitude. You shifted under his stare.
"I wouldn't call it that," you murmured, turning away, "The lights green," you added flatly trying to turn his attention from you. He ignored you and placed a warm hand over yours. 
"I would, and because of that, I and all of BTS owe you a life debt. We want to protect you as best as we can, especially since you're not totally safe from the guys you saved me from," he emphasized. 
You looked up at him owlishly as you thought over everything he said. But whatever you were going to say died on your lips as a car honked its horn behind you. You both jumped startled, and the intensity of the moment evaporated slightly. 
After a few moments of silence, you decided he didn't require a response. You can't imagine you would give a correct one anyways. You looked down at your hand, his larger one still resting atop your own and turned your wrist quickly and intertwining your fingers.
You rode in silence the rest of the way home, and you were fighting your eyelids as you pulled up to your complex. 
Jungkook wondered if you always fell asleep in the car even with dangerous men. He wondered if that's why he never sees you take the bus at night.
"You really should consider living somewhere safer," Jungkook muttered under his breath as he shut off the engine.
You bit your tongue holding in several comments and gave a noncommittal 'mmm' as you unbuckled and stepped out the car to see he planned to walk you to your door again. 
You grew embarrassed as you climbed the stairs and scrambled to think of parting words dwelling on everything Jungkook had done for you that night, "Thank you," you finally forced yourself to say. Jungkook looked down at you as you came to a halt in front of your door. "For earlier, with the crying and the counting," you offered awkwardly your eyes looking everywhere but his as you breached the sensitive topic. 
"Oh, it wasn't a problem, really. I'm glad I could help" he laughed nervously, and you smiled, reaching for his hand before he could bring it to the back of his head, a nervous habit you were quickly picking up on him having. 
"I'm serious Jungkook, a lot of people freak out and make the situation much worse for me, and I get it seeing someone crying like that it's never an easy thing to react to, but you did—" you hesitated as you searched for the right words, "You were good, comforting." 
You didn't give yourself time to question it as you stood on your tiptoes, deciding to convey your gratitude in a way that your stuttering mouth wouldn't botch, and grazed a small peck aiming for his cheek. Unfortunately, the height difference and your own lack of balance had you landing more on his jawline. Jungkook gasped only slightly at the feeling of your soft lips on his jaw, the heat of your body radiating off of you in your nearness. You smiled at him again as you turned towards the door to unlock it. 
"Haha yeah, happy to hear that," he responded, his voice crawling in pitch as he ordered his heart to beat, and you gave him another warm smile as you pushed open your door. 
"Good night, Jungkook."
"Good night, Ella." 
Jungkook's face split into a grin as you closed the door, a hand reaching for his jaw and pressing against where you kissed him as if it would simulate the feeling. His steps seemed to bounce as he made his way down the concrete stairs and back to his car.

Descent Pt. 1
I told myself I was gonna take a break. I lied. I wanted to write a whole bin of Sin for Simeon. I’m sorry, not sorry at all. Let me know if you want to be a part of the tag list: Chapter Masterlist: Here Crossposted on Ao3: here Part [1] Part [2] Part [3] Part 4: [4] Part [5] Part [6] Part [7] Part [8] Part [9] Part [10]
Paring: Simeon x Reader Wordcount: 4,900 ish Genre: Smut Tags: Masturbation, Voyeurism, hints of dirty talk? Summary: Sent from the Celestial realm to observe and study humans; Simeon made a name for himself as the illustrious author of The Tales of the Seven Lords. After reaching acclaim for his first series, he's having trouble writing his next great hit. Good thing you're there for him as his manager and editor to help him work out the... kinks in writing.
Trip
The most dangerous aspect of humans was their innate ability to tempt even the most stalwart and steadfast of angels into a world of sin. Simeon was not immune to their ways, no matter how reclusive he became. It was easy to study them from afar, learning about them through numbers and sales numbers. The masses were easy to sway with a few pretty words. Blending in with humans was a trivial task for him. All he had to do was make a few public appearances for book signings and some launch parties for a new series; otherwise he was free to observe and study from afar. 
After the international success of The Tale of The Seven Lords, Simeon found himself feeling rather empty. He needed a new project to keep him entertained in the human realm. However, no matter what he started to work on, it didn’t inspire the same sort of passion he had for his older series. He needed a new genre, a new style of writing to refresh his passion for words. If he was going to make it in an ever changing market, he would need to adapt as well. Yet, no matter what genre he tried, every draft he came up with seemed too mundane and overdone. 
Everything except, for the temptation of writing something much more salacious than his last work. 
Just entertaining the thought had him on a slippery slope of falling from the grace of the Celestial realm. Sure, the strict protocols of olde had been loosened over the centuries. Many angels realized that enforcing perfect adherence to the standards of purity set so long ago no longer applied to modern times. Rules had been loosened and enforcement had relaxed to the point where Simeon was almost positive if he wrote an absolutely obscene novel, he didn’t risk losing his Celestial powers. 
The only problem was that he had no experience in the genre at all. He threw together a vague plot and outline, thinking it would be all he needed to inspire him. Surprisingly enough, the publishing house allowed for the drastic change in genre, confident that he would be able to create another best seller. Just having that much trust put in him made him want to succeed even more with the haphazard novel idea. 
But, despite his determination to make his new manuscripts lewd, he was at a complete loss as to what, and how to write them properly. The outline he presented to you seemed excellent on paper. Even if it had a few plot holes, you knew he could patch them up with a little work. So, it was natural that you would push the approval and leave him to his own devices to work on the manuscript. You were sure that an author of his caliber would be able to break into a new branch of the literary market without any issues. 
But, after several months of waiting, you had no contact at all from him regarding the progress of his new book. The industry needed proof of his work in order to justify their investment in him. Being so renowned, the pressure was on him to create something magnificent. You could only imagine the kind of stress he was going through and as his manager and editor, you were responsible for making sure he met deadlines. You hated to rush his process, but there was no way he could meet the dates set by the publisher if he didn’t give you something to work with soon. 
After trying to reach out to him several times by phone and email with little to no response, the only option left was to go to his abode and see just what he was hiding from. No other outline he submitted had passed so this was his one and only chance to continue his writing career. You patiently waited after knocking on his door, hoping he would answer and wasn’t going to ignore you any further. You knew how serious writer’s block could be; but you hoped he wouldn’t let that get in the way of being a professional. 
Luckily, the door opened soon enough and you were ushered in by an extremely tired and frazzled looking Simeon. He lead you to his office after you had taken off your shoes and changed into the guest slippers he offered. Simeon didn’t speak to you during the whole exchange, a shell of the soft spoken and attentive author you had come to know after so many years of working with him. He shuffled into his office, an obvious slouch in his posture and slumped behind his desk before gesturing at the empty chair across from him. 
“I’m guessing you know why I’m here.” You said and he sighed in resignation, burrowing his head in his hands and running them through his hair. You felt terrible adding stress onto him, he looked ragged, like he hadn’t slept in days. The bags under his eyes were so dark, they almost looked like deep bruises. 
“Yes
 You want a manuscript
” his normally soft voice sounded hoarse and you wondered if he had eaten or drunken anything at all that day. “I’m almost done with the first draft
 would you like to come and see?” He turned his laptop towards you and you started reading what he had so far. 
All seemed well and good at first. The characters were believable and the premise, though a bit cheesy, was definitely acceptable for the genre. The further you read, the more you noticed large gaps in his writing. Whole paragraphs seemed to be missing and sentences ended midway. Dialog was left unfinished and by the time you reached the end of the first chapter, it was a mess. You could already feel the inevitable headache you were going to get from editing for him. 
“Uhm
”
“Yeah, I know. It’s not my best work.” 
He tried to smile, but the emotion didn’t reach his eyes. You reached out to him and held his hand, rubbing your thumb in reassuring circles on his palm. “You’ve worked hard on it, still. What’s got you so hung up though?” 
He got a little flustered at your question, nervously running his hand through his hair and looking to the side. Writing such a topic with no experience in it was proving to be difficult for him. He could research all he wanted and consume all the media he could to aid him, but there was just something missing. His lack of knowledge was showing and he wasn’t sure how he could keep being composed about his failure so far. He gestured at the screen and shrugged, trying to get his message across without using words; but, when he saw your confused expression, he had to speak. “I don’t know what I’m doing.” he finally admitted. “I want to write this so badly, but I don’t know how to
 describe the scenes the way I want to.” 
You sat back in the chair, crossing your arms over your chest and nodding. You could only imagine the difficulty he was having in producing the quality content you were sure he was used to coming up with. With deadlines looming above your head, you needed at least a chapter to submit to the publishing house so they knew actual work was being done. You sighed, trying to think of ways to jump start his creativity. The gloomy atmosphere of his office didn’t seem help. The lights were dim and the curtains were all drawn. It didn’t feel like a place that could invoke the imagery he was going for. “Let’s move somewhere.” you suggested finally. “Do you have a room with lots of sunlight? Maybe a change of mood will help.” 
“Ah
 there’s the sunroom..” he said. “But I don’t know if just changing where I am writing will help the situation. If it hasn’t gotten done here, I doubt it will anywhere else.” 
“Just try it.” you encouraged, already unplugging his laptop and taking it with you. “It’s so gloomy in here, even I’m getting depressed just sitting around. Come on, which way is it?” 
“Ah
 this way.” He said, shamefully shuffling out from behind his desk and showing you the way to the sunroom which overlooked a rather well manicured garden with a variety of flowers in full bloom. You marveled at the bright, airy feel of the room and took a second to really appreciate his choice in decor. 
“Wow, would have never pegged you as the kind of guy who gardens.” You teased, flopping onto the couch he had in there and lounged in its plush confines. Looking through the glass ceiling, you watched a few clouds drift by while Simeon got comfortable in a recliner in the corner of the room. You could tell he was still a bit frustrated, but you knew getting him some sun would do him good. 
“Well, when I don’t have any pressing deadlines, being with the plants helps relieve stress. It’s unfortunate that I cannot give you a tour this time.” 
“There’s plenty of opportunities in the future. They’re not going anywhere, and neither am I. You know I’m going to keep hounding you until your manuscript is finished.” 
He chuckled, nodding and opening up his laptop. You let silence pass between the two of you, going back to watching the clouds while the sound of his fingers flying across the keyboard lulled you into a daydream like state. You grabbed onto one of the large, decorative pillows he had on the couch, clutching it against your chest while you made up stories in your head about the clouds above. If you weren’t so stressed about turning something into the publishing house so soon; it would have been a perfect, calming afternoon. 
The clack of the keyboard stopped after a little bit. Whatever inspiration Simeon had when he entered the room seemed to have fizzled out and he was stuck in yet another rut, writing one word and deleting it over and over again. You sighed, turning to watch him as he gnawed on his thumb, mumbling to himself. 
“What’s not working?” You asked, your curiosity piqued. 
“Just
 this scene
 it’s not working. I can’t envision it.” He grumbled. Looking up at where you were laying on his couch, clutching onto the pillow, he was suddenly struck by a brilliant plan. The worry lines on his forehead disappeared and he broke out into a slight smile when he realized how he could get his creative juices flowing. “Help me
 I need inspiration.” 
You sat up straight, ready to assist in any way you could. “Okay, what do you want me to do?” You asked. 
Simeon squinted, in the right light, you looked similar to the main character he had written. His plan could work if you reenacted the scene he had in mind. The issue was actually explaining the scene to you in a way that didn’t make his body feel overheated. He was already playing with fire by writing such a lewd book, pushing his limits further felt like he was sliding right down a slope heading towards a great fall. There was no other way, he reasoned. As long as I do not defile her, it’ll be fine. Taking a deep breath, he got up from where he was and walked over to you. 
“I need you to
. Uhm
 Well.. how do I say this
 I’m having trouble writing a love making scene and I need some
 visual aids.” You blinked, processing his request and then looked him up and down, feeling your whole body heat up at once. You were sure you had kept your crush on him a secret. To have him ask you so suddenly to provide visual aid for an explicit novel felt like too big of a jump for you to comprehend. “Oh
 Oh no, no, no. You don’t have to do anything with me.” He said, gesturing wildly when he saw you pointedly stare at his crotch. “You can just pretend that this is the ‘lover.’” He took the pillow from your arms and laid it on the couch. 
You didn’t know if you should have felt relived or disappointed that he wanted you to reenact a sex scene with a pillow and not him. It was all quite a bit to take in, but the desperate pout on his face was something you couldn’t ignore. And both your jobs were on the line. You sighed in resignation. “Okay, okay
 But only because we have deadlines coming up.” You said. “You’re lucky you’re cute. I wouldn’t do this for anyone else.” 
Simeon smiled for the first time that day, hurriedly moving back to his computer and preparing to take notes on what you were doing. “I’m ready when you are.” he announced once he opened up a separate document. 
“You sure you don’t want me to just, you know
 do you?” You asked, cocking an eyebrow as you started to undress. It was embarrassing for sure; but part of you relished in seeing Simeon so flustered when it came to the nature of lewd things. You wondered why he had bothered submitting such an outline at all when he wasn’t familiar with how to write erotica; but his determination to branch out to other genres had won you over in the end. It just fell upon your shoulders to show this man how it was done. 
“I
 No
 I can’t. I need to write.” He stuttered. Do not defile her, do not defile her. Her womb is sacred and not something you can toy with
 Even if he wanted the first hand experience, he still had rules to abide by. 
“Alright, whatever you say. You’re the boss.” You shrugged, unbuttoning your blouse. “Don’t forget, part of the sexiness is in the tease.” You explained, taking your time to sway your hips side to side as each button came undone. Trying to seduce a pillow was so much more boring than trying to seduce Simeon. The things I do for this job
 
You made sure to waggle your ass as you peeled off your pants, tossing them to the side along with your blouse. There was something thrilling about being in a room made of glass. Any woodland creature that decided to come visit his garden at that moment would also get an eyeful of your progressively bare body. The rush of having Simeon watch you as you stripped had your heart racing. 
At the very least, you knew your efforts weren’t in vain. You could hear the furious clacking of the keyboard as you gave the pillow in front of you a sultry look. As lame as it all was, it was still rather arousing to know you were being watched by the man who you had crushed on for so long now. “Alright
 sir. I’m going to need you to lay down. You have a problem that only I can take care of.” You said to the pillow. You tried hard not to laugh at how ridiculous the scenario was. It wouldn’t do to break the mood, especially when you could tell Simeon was definitely getting some writing done. 
You got back onto the couch, straddling the pillow between your legs once you were in nothing but your underthings. Licking your lips, you pretended that Simeon was under you and not the decorative cushion. If you closed your eyes, you could almost feel his lean body under your own, squirming in discomfort as you took control of the scenario. There was just something about how gentle and soft spoken he was that made  your heart flutter with the need to dominate him until he was a flushed, moaning mess. 
Using that fantasy in your mind, you slowly started to gyrate your hips onto the pillow, throwing your head back and moaning. “Oh yes
” You breathed, pleasantly surprised at the stimulation you got from the friction of your panties rubbing against your spread core. You hummed, content with the thought of Simeon holding onto your hips to keep your steady. If he wanted to watch, then you were going to give him the best show available. 
You grasped at your breasts, teasing your nipples through the fabric of your bra until they were sensitive little buds that made you gasp. As you continued to grind against the pillow, you could feel your essence starting to flow, no doubt you were going to leave quite a substantial wet mark on the pillow if you continued. You wanted to pause and warn Simeon of what was about to happen; but when you turned and saw the look of concentration on his face, you didn’t dare break his focus. 
He’ll just have to deal with it later
 You figured going back to that happy place in your mind where the writer in front of you was actually under you. Closing your eyes, you imagined what it would be like to hear him moan as you pressed your heat against his cock. Surely he must sound absolutely angelic when he cums. Pushing slipping your hands under your bra, you pushed the fabric away, peeled it off your skin and threw it into a random corner to pick up later. “You have no idea how hot you look right now.” You purred, looking down at the cushions below you, wishing you had something sexier to talk dirty to; but you would have to make do with what you had. 
Leaning down, you grabbed a pillow to act as your ‘lovers’ head and started to kiss it. It was so hard to ignore just how disappointing it was to make out with a lump of fabric and not the beautiful man in the corner who was so engrossed with his writing, you might as well have been invisible to him. You could only use your imagination to fantasize about how soft Simeon’s lips must be. He always took such good care of his skin and he had an ethereal glow about him, as if he was blessed by the sun itself. You moaned into the pillow, hating the rough canvas you were pressed up against, but at least your pussy was getting something out of how much you were humping the pillow. 
You came up, gasping for air after having half smothered yourself with a pillow and glanced over at Simeon again. Even as he was furiously typing, you could see that he was at least a little affected by the show you were putting on. Good, I would have hated myself if he’s not even a smidgen turned on by this. You smirked, looking down at your ‘lover’ and pretended to whisper sweet nothings to them before getting off the couch. 
Simeon made a small sound of protest when he saw that you were no longer straddling the pillow, but he quickly shut up when he saw that you were divesting yourself of your panties. “Oh
 carry on.” He mumbled, going back to his document, though his eyes continuously flicked up towards you to make sure he was capturing the moment properly. 
Feeling your bare pussy rub against the rough fabric of the pillow sent shivers of pleasure up and down your body and you moaned, riding it harder than before. The stimulation was great, but it wasn’t enough. Really, you wanted to have Simeon buried balls deep in you and not at his computer. However, your priority was your job and that meant sticking to what you had to work with. “Fuck
” You groaned, clenching your inner walls around nothing and wishing that you had at least a toy to fill you up and give you something to ride. 
You ground against the pillow, your essence soaking the fabric and leaving a sizable wet mark, but you didn’t care. It was all the stimulation you could get and you were going to work it for all it was worth. One hand went back up to your breast, rolling your pert nipple between your thumb and forefinger, whining at the mixture of pain and pleasure you were giving yourself. “Yeah
 you like watching me touch myself, babe?” You asked no one in particular; but truthfully, you hoped Simeon was really enjoying what he saw and heard.. 
His fingers on the keyboard never ceased moving as he vividly described the scene before him. He was so wrapped up in his work, he didn’t even notice himself getting hard. There was too much to write and no time to think about the attention the rest of his body was asking for. He licked his lips, his gaze constantly going back and forth from the document to your body. You were acting out the scene so well, he couldn’t stop writing; he needed to record every detail. You were everything he had imagined his main character to be; effortlessly confident, commanding in the bedroom and dripping with sex appeal. Even if it was a spur of the moment suggestion, he had no regrets considering he was getting so much more writing done in the last half hour than he had in the past two months. 
Your breathing came out in short little pants as you tried to chase a release that just wouldn’t come with so little to work with. You reached between your legs to fondle your sensitive clit, groaning loudly as you made love to yourself. You didn’t know how long the scene was supposed to be, but your thighs were getting tired of riding an inanimate object and you just wanted to get off now. 
“Mm fuck.. You feel so good
” You breathed, closing your eyes and imagining Simeon sliding inside of you. The first pass must feel so good. You fantasized about lowering yourself onto his cock slowly letting him savor every inch that entered you. In your head, his bright blue eyes glittered in lust, watching his dick disappear into you until your hips met and he would moan at the feeling of being completely buried in you. “Yeah
 just like that
” You moaned, rubbing circles at your clit while your inner walls clenched rhythmically at air. 
You went back to dragging your pussy across the fabric of the pillow smearing your essence all over to get as much out of the scenario as you could. Your fingers rubbed your clit harder, pushing you ever closer and closer to release. “Oh
 Oh
 I’m so close
” You whined, announcing your climax mere seconds before it happened. The last push you needed was looking over at Simeon and seeing him completely engrossed in what you were doing. His fingers frozen on the keyboard and his comfortable pants with a rather impressive tent in them. 
“Fuck. Simeon.” you cursed, cumming all over the pillow. Your fingers slowed their pace around your clit, rubbing your labia back and forth as you rode out the orgasm. You fell forward onto the pillows beneath you, still slowly humping them while you let the initial high pass and the afterglow set in. It wasn’t until the haze of pleasure passed that you realized you had called his name while getting off on his couch in front of him. 
Simeon swallowed hard, trying to ignore the way you called his name. Everything had gone smoothly until you had cried out for him while in the throes of your climax. He had stopped everything he was doing just mere moments before you did that; and now, he didn’t know if he had the mental capacity to continue with what he was writing. 
For once, he was tempted to throw away whatever celestial blessings he had to take you and be the real reason why you screamed his name. 
Shoving the indecent thoughts to the back of his head, he turned back to his document, writing a sentence and erasing it, repeating the action over and over again while his brain looped the beautiful image of you as you came on his couch. Now, he noticed the tightness in his pants, the obvious boner he sported as a result of such an experiment. But, he couldn’t be mad at it. He had achieved a groove in writing and he was sure he could finish the draft you needed in time.
Simeon let you rest a bit and gather yourself together on the couch. No doubt both of you were aware of the slip, but he could pretend it didn’t affect him as much as it did. Eventually, you had the courage to look back up at him, only to find him busily typing away at his computer. Sighing, and running your hand through your hair amused that he could stay so calm, you got up and started to get dressed. “So, I’m guessing moving somewhere else worked?” you asked, keeping your tone light. 
“Hmm
 yes.” He agreed, half paying attention to what you were doing. He couldn’t bear to look at you while you were exposed and waited patiently until you were fully clothed until he made eye contact and spoke to you again. “I definitely got some good notes in. I’ll just need a little more time to flesh out some of the filler scenes and I’ll email you the draft in a couple of days.” 
You let out a laugh, surprised that he was able to focus on work still after what he had just witnessed. He truly was as innocent as he presented himself to be sometimes. “Alright, well. I’ll look forward to reading it.” 
“Will you be back?” he asked, looking at you with hopeful eyes. “You were so helpful, I think I might need more help for the rest of the book.” Not, like I want to see something like that again
 No, I just need it for research purposes
 
“You know I’ll be back.” You laughed heartily, ruffling his hair. “I have to bother you at least once a month to make sure you’re on schedule to finish.” 
Simeon slouched into his chair and let out a soft laugh in relief. “Of course, how could I forget.” In his mind, he was already planning new scenarios for you to play out. There would be much more research to be done, and supplies to be obtained before your next visit. But, all those things could wait. For now, he closed his laptop, noticing how low on battery it had gotten.Time had slipped by him, the sun already well on its way past the horizon. “It’s getting late
” He commented, trying to change the subject to something a little safer than the masturbation session you just had in front of him. 
“Yeah
 I’ll get going and let you work in peace.” In a moment of bold recklessness, you stepped forward and planted a quick kiss on his cheek. “See you next time, babe. Can’t wait to see what you’re gonna make me do for you.” you teased, giving him a coy wink before showing yourself out.
As soon as the door was firmly shut, Simeon let out a deep sigh, laughing out loud at the predicament he had put himself into. He wanted to quit everything and dissolve into the ground. He wanted to continue writing and see your body writhe in pleasure. He wanted to also defile you and sate himself inside of you. Most of all though, there was a growing darkness within him, one he didn’t even notice just yet; and that part of him craved to see you put in your place to beg for him like the god he knew he was. 
Pushing all his desires down and curbing his lust for the time being, he moved his computer back to his office and let it charge for the rest of the evening. His mind still swirled with the image of your exposed body riding that pillow in the sunroom. The early evening sunset made your body glow with an almost angelic light; and for once, he felt jealous of an inanimate object.
Quietly padding back into the sunroom, he looked at the soiled cushion; feeling a surge of heat rush through him when he saw the wet spot you had left behind. Licking his lips, he approached it like it was a wild animal, tentatively poking at it. If he closed his eyes, he could pretend to still feel your warmth lingering on the fabric. He could feel shame rising up in him as he laid down on the couch, rested his head on the pillow and took a deep breath, memorizing the scent of your arousal. 
His hand reached down between his legs, slipping past his pants and to his hard length that needed his attention. Turning his head to smother his moans and to surround himself with your unique smell, he teased and pleased himself, putting himself in the scenario you had played out just mere moments ago. 
“Oh
 oh fuck
” He groaned surprised at how little effort it took to make him cum and ruin his pants to the thought of you bouncing on his cock and calling his name. He was quickly falling down the deep end of temptation and he could feel the darkness of sin encroaching. 
The scariest part was the fact that he didn’t care at all.
