Hey! I love your writing! I swear I feel like I’ve read Avery thing because it is so good🫶 I absolutely love the way you write the boys and their personalities, truly my favourite!
I was also wondering if I could request a fic? Feel free to ignore. But can I request a poly! Marauders comfort fic kind of based on my day rn😭today I had to get glasses after sooo many years of not needing them. And I bough a pair but hate the way I look in them. Came straight home and cried about it, which turned to not feeling good enough in general.
Hi sweetheart! thank you for requesting! i'm so sorry that happened, i hate my glasses too. i hope you are feeling better, you're absolutely gorgeous and glasses can't change that. gn!reader x poly!marauders
cw: insecurity, swearing
1k words
You were staring into the mirror, switching between taking your new glasses off and putting them back on. When you took them off, your head began throbbing and your vision blurred. When they were back on you winced painfully at your appearance in the mirror. A mix of insecurity over the way the frames looked, and the new clarity you had in seeing your face. It was like putting the glasses on had opened a Pandora’s Box of insecurity. Now, no matter if they were on or off, you couldn’t stop picking apart your face. 
You set the glasses on the counter, scrubbing your watery eyes with the heel of your hand and wishing you never had to see yourself again. Remus found you in the bathroom, face pinched painfully and sniffling as you covered your eyes. 
“Dovey,” He said, fear creeping into his tone. “What’s happened, huh?” He shuffled over to your side, spinning you around to face him. His large hands were braced on your shaking shoulders as you hid your face in your hands and whined in a way that made his heart clench. He went to pull your wrists away from your face, which was when you spoke up.
“No, no.” You held fast, keeping your hands firmly in place. 
“Are you hurt? Why won’t you let me see you?” This whole situation was clearly making your usually calm boyfriend's head spin. He was at a loss, not wanting to become aggressive and scare you more, but also needing to get to the bottom of whatever was happening. He settled on tucking you into his chest and cradling the back of your head as you cried. You sniffled sadly into his knit sweater as two sets of feet padded across the carpet, stopping in the doorway of the bathroom. 
“Fuck,” Sirius said. Remus would’ve scolded him, if it hadn’t required him to pull away from you. “What’s going on?” He placed a hand in the middle of your back, eyes roving over you for a source of pain. James was equally distraught, but he handled this kind of thing best. He had a way of pulling guarded information out of people. 
“Baby, what’s got you crying so hard?” You lifted your face from Remus’ chest, still looking down to shield yourself. Remus tried to tilt your chin up, but you were being unusually stubborn. 
“Let me look at you.” Remus said, knocking his knuckles under your chin. You just shook your head. James turned you so all three of the boys were in front of you and tried to make you look up again, but you held fast and James was too scared of hurting you.
“Why won’t you let us see you, sweetheart?” James probed. Something in his gentle tone just broke you further, making you want to spill your guts. You relaxed enough for James to make you look up, red-rimmed eyes and glossy features making him want to cry as well. 
“Baby,” Sirius gasped. You breathed as deep as you could, trying not to cry worse as Remus used his sleeve to wipe at your wet cheeks. You were doing okay, until a wave of pain ripped through your head, making you grab your temples and whine. James cooed, familiar with the feeling and reached for your glasses. 
“No, I don’t want them.” You choked, miserably. 
“You’ve gotta wear them, lovely. Or your headache is jus’ gonna get worse.” He smoothed your hair away from your face, but you still wouldn’t let him put them on you. 
“Why don’t you wanna wear your glasses, baby?” Sirius questioned. 
“I hate them, they make me look so ugly. Like a fly or something.” You cringed wetly. Remus inhaled sharply, grabbing you to hold you again. 
“Is that what's made you so sad?” He whispered, kissing the top of your head as you nodded against his chest. James pouted, wanting to cry. 
“Wait,” Sirius cut in, sounding incredulous. “Is that why you wouldn’t let us look at you too?” James looked shell shocked and Remus’ face was pinched. You nodded again. 
“Sweetheart,” James pulled you from Remus’ grasp to have you look at them. He held your face, looking at you with too much love as we wiped your cheeks again. You were still wincing, uncomfortable from all the attention. Sirius turned your face to see him. 
“You’re breakin’ our hearts, sweet thing.” He smiled sadly at you. “Can’t believe you would think that.” He stroked your jaw with his thumb, pity covering his features. James let you go so that Sirius could have his turn loving on you. He held your gaze, letting his fingers roam over your features. “My baby, you’re so pretty. So, so fucking pretty. There’s nothing you could do to make us think otherwise. No reason to ever have to hide yourself from us.” He glanced over to Remus, wordlessly asking for the glasses. You tried to shrink away, but you were stopped by his hold on you. 
“You’re gonna hate them.” You warned, giving up on winning this battle. Remus scoffed. 
“You really think some glasses are gonna stop you from being gorgeous?” He asked like you were being silly. “Do you think that James is ugly? Do you think that we think James is ugly?” He looked at you accusatory. 
“No! Of course not!” You looked at James, floundering to make sure he wasn’t hurt. He just smiled at you reassuringly, placing a hand on your shoulder to placate you. 
“See, if you can love me with mine, then hopefully you can see that we love you with yours.” James rubbed your back as Sirius slid the frames onto your face, leaning forward to kiss your nose. 
“See? Absolutely gorgeous.” The pale boy praised. James turned you to face him, eyes swelling with fondness as he grabbed your face in his hands. 
“Holy shit!” He exclaimed. “I love them!” They had all known that you were getting glasses, but they hadn't seen them yet. You shied under his love. “You look so fucking precious.” He cooed, turning your face to let Remus see. “What do you think, Moons?” He leaned down to kiss your cheek. 
“Perfect.” Remus smiled softly, making your own spread across your face. 
Maybe they weren’t so bad.

Hope you guys don't mind but I need some comfort rn and I hate to bother other people so I'll do it instead.
I've got a lot running through my mind so while I had the idea I thought to share. Maybe it'll bring you some comfort as well my flower ❤️
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
✨🌌Soft nights with astarion🌌✨
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Tumblr media
Astarion is pretty in tune when it comes to your emotions even if people believe otherwise.
When you came home one night with a heavy sigh and tired eyes astarion knew that something was troubling you.
"My little love what's wrong? Are you hurt?"
You don't even have the energy to vocalize your response, with a tired shake of the head you answer no.
He paused, analyzing your face looking for a sign or clue of what could bring his beautiful love home so sad and defeated.
He lets out a soft "hm" and suddenly you feel strong arms around you, protecting you from the outside for a moment, you could hear his heartbeat strong maybe even a bit fast but oddly...it was comforting. You took in his scent your shoulders finally relaxing all the days troubles melting away in his arms. "My love if something is wrong... Please tell me." His voice is soft almost a gentle whisper, you tear up at his words, your heart was hurting but you couldn't give a real answer as to WHY. "Darling" he pulls an arm away gently cupping your cheek, his thumb gently glides over the side of your cheek "Do not cry fret my love. I'm here" and with that a tear falls down your cheek "Shhh" his voice is a bit softer than earlier. "It's okay my love. Do you want to cuddle hm?" You nod. "as you wish darling" he picks you up bridal style and swiftly carries you to your shared bedroom, laying you down gently as if you could break. He gets into bed next to you pulling closer. "I'm sorry you had a rough day my love. But I'm here with you now" you believe his words are comforting especially after a brutal day. You find you slowly drifting off to sleep in his arms, he places a soft tender kiss on your forehead and drifts off to sleep as well, still holding you in his arms you both safe and sound in each other.

Okay I had a fic idea and rushed to tumblr to see if your requests were open I'm lowkey shaking rn.
Anyway can we imagine hobie and reader who are friends but secretly having feelings for each other, and one night reader gets a little too drunk at a party and sends a confession text to hobie ?! And the way he would come to pick her up right after this and confess in return AAAAAAAKFODJODNXODBF do you think you could write something about it ? No one can write Hobie fics like you 💕❤️
Tumblr media
Hi hi I combined both of your requests bc they were similar hope you don't mind. Changed it up a bit but it's basically the same! Thank you for requesting!! 😘❤️❤️❤️
Pairing: Hobie Brown x fem! Reader/ Spider-Punk x fem! Reader
Word count: 2.3k
Tags: Use of Y/N sparsely, no specific physical description of the reader (except for her clothing), CW alcohol, fluff.
ʕ⁠·⁠ᴥ⁠·⁠ʔ
Getting wine drunk is a bad idea, getting wine drunk alone is an even worse idea. Your vision swirls whilst you watch the most mind numbing reality tv there is. Mind hazy, the smell of stale popcorn filtering in the air, blanket comfortably on your legs. You look at your phone right next to you like it owes you money.
With a narrowed glance, the screen blinks open like you commanded it in your mind. You don't miss how you quickly take it in your wobbly hands despite the alcohol warming your insides. Huffing, you're immensely disappointed to see a notification from one of the games you play to pass the time.
‘Your castle is under attack!’ it says in bold letters, and you wish it was him texting you instead. Your wallpaper doesn't help much with your pining, the picture’s a bit blurry but even the blurriness can't hide how deeply in love you are with your best friend. You remember when the photo was taken, and you remember how fast your heart was beating in your ribcage when Hobie yanked you towards him. Sweat still clinging to him from his energetic performance, adrenaline still flowing in his veins as he squeezes his face close to yours. He gives the camera his signature smirk, whilst you could only manage a lopsided smile. Eyes shimmering under the spotlights, arms bravely wrapped around his middle.
You still can't believe you fumbled that day, you thought you had your confession in the bag, but when he stared at you with those brown eyes you loved so much since year eight, the words got stuck in your throat. With alcohol in your system, flooding your nerves with courage, you open your phone to finally tell him your feelings.
> Heyyy boo thang <3
You giggle whilst you hover your thumb at the send button. Backtracking and drunk off cheap wine, you add more to your message.
> Heyyy boo thang <3 just messaging u how ur doing and also I love u so much like a lot ever somce you held my hand during pe when that ball hit my face I loveee u and not just a friend muah <3
Eyes scanning the message, a sudden realization hits you like a truck, as if sobering you immediately. The thought of sending a love confession to *your best friend has you sitting up right on the settee, moreso via text message. But before you could erase it and forget about it, a sudden scream startles you, jolting, the sound making you drop your phone on the carpet.
“Shit!” You glare at the fallen phone then at the telly where the reality stars are now pulling each other's hair like they're in the playground.
With an annoyed click of your tongue, you take your phone from the ground to check the damage. Sighing in relief, you see no cracks in the screen, but your heart falls on the floor once you see that your drunken message has been sent. “No! Motherfucker—!”
Hobie’s head is pounding from the combined powers of the pints he chugged and the loud music banging on stage. The old leather seats of the booth scratch at his jeans, the smoky and musty air entering his lungs, and the warm lights shining in his blurring vision. He usually doesn't mind it, he thrives in the environment. But his band mates basically dragged him into the pub when he was supposed to be hanging out with you tonight.
“Mates before chicks!” James said, earning a loud slap from Yuri a second later. “You hang around her too much, we miss our guitarist.” Ned mumbles with his puppy dog eyes that Hobie never thought would actually work on him. “Just one round with us! And you can come back home to your girl.” Riri added with a teasing grin. Hobie didn't even correct her at this point, and he knows it’s not just for one round.
After sending you a heartfelt message using Ned's phone, he rescheduled the weekly hangout where you and Hobie would watch the crappiest show you could find airing on cable, and whoever leaves the couch first owes the winner dinner. To which Hobie always sees as a win/win, he gets to hangout with you more, and he gets to see you smile when he purposely loses. Hobie invited you to the pub, even though he knows you'd reject his proposal, simply because he knows you hate the place, and how the carpet sticks to your shoes.
He knows you more than he knows himself.
It's hard enough to find the time to see you with all his responsibilities. He hates it when he could only settle with a quick phone call every night to check in on eachother. Especially when just a few years ago you were hanging out with him almost everyday.
He never thought he'd miss you this much when he agreed.
Hobie loves his friends, he really does, but you just have a very special place in his heart that he wishes he was in yours too.
Nursing a pint, he drowns his feelings with the amber drink and loud chatter with his band mates. Riri grumbles something about her landlord, while Yuri replies back with a ‘mine’s always open for subletting,’ she says in a singing tone. A minute later, the entire table looks at him with similar glints in their eyes.
“What?” He asks a little too roughly.
“You should get your own phone, mate, because I don't want to see your bloody messages.” Ned scoffs, his phone in hand. “Seriously, this one is sweet and all but this could take a turn real fucking quick, and I don't want to see that shit.”
“What the fuck are you talkin' ‘bout?” Hobie doesn't think he's that drunk yet, even though he doesn't notice how his words slur together, or how his tongue sits heavy in his mouth.
Riri and Yuri giggle amongst themselves, while James takes a peek at Ned's phone before making a dramatic shocked face.
His nerves shoot up when James mouths your name. Are you hurt? Are you mad at him? “Y/N, texted? What’d she say?” Hobie tries to snatch the phone from Ned, to which his friend pulls it away from him playfully.
“Oh I'm gonna need some popcorn.” Yuri snickers.
Ned, being equally drunk, clears his throat dramatically while leaning away from Hobie, who is too drunk to even win against James who's currently holding him back. James laughs like a hyena in Hobie's ear, while Riri takes a picture of the chaos.
“Hey! Boo thang! Heart emoji.” Ned reads unabashedly, the girls laugh louder at Hobie's expense. “Just messaging you how you're doing, and also I love you so much!” Ned tries to copy your voice, “Like a lot—!” Hobie has had enough, cheeks hot (not from the alcohol) he uses his spider strength to push past James, then grabbing the phone so quickly that not even the owner processed what happened until he sees it in Hobie's hand. “You're no fun, mate.”
“Has anyone ever told you not to read someone else's messages?” Hobie hides the screen on his chest.
“It's my fucking phone!” Ned gestures wildly.
Hobie glares at his bassist, he peeks down at the bright screen, your name up top and caller ID smiling at him. He can't help but smile back.
He might be drunk, but he's not drunk enough to hallucinate you confessing your love to him. Via Ned's phone nonetheless.
He feels bodies crowd around him, Yuri's chin is pressed on his left shoulder while Ned on his right. Riri pushes James away to get a closer look at the screen while James settles to loom over everyone like some muscle-bound shield.
“What the fuck are you lot doin’?” Hobie asks, hands gripping the phone like it's about to be snatched from him.
“We're dying from anticipation here, bruv.” James says above everyone.
“‘Anticipation’, that's a big word, James.”
“Eat a bag of dicks, Yuri.”
“You first—”
“Would you all shut up?” Hobie hisses, eyes glued to the tiny dots at the bottom, indicating that you're currently typing.
“She's typing.” Riri whispers.
“We can all see that, Riri.” Ned whispers back.
Hobie shushes them both when the three dots disappear without a new message. His heart hammers at his chest, he feels like he's back in high school, way back when you could just smile at him and his day will be made better.
“Just tell her, mate.” Ned says a lot softer than Hobie thought he was capable. “We all know you love her, just bloody tell her because I'm gonna need my phone back to call a cab real fucking soon.” And he ruined it.
“D’you have a curfew, Neddy?” James asks teasingly, earning a scowl from Ned.
Ned rolls his eyes. “I'm just saying, she might appreciate it if you actually reply to it.”
“I think she's drunk.” Riri pipes up, everyone looks at her. She roams her eyes towards each of their faces. Rolling her eyes she points at the message. “Look, there's so many mistakes there and I've texted with Y/N before, she doesn't text like that.”
“What's wrong with texting with spelling mistakes? I do that.” James smiles.
“Because it's just you, you ding dong.” Yuri teases, and James fakes a deep frown.
“Being drunk doesn't mean she didn't mean the text. The alcohol might've just helped her send it.” Ned reassures Hobie.
“I did it.” Hobie half exclaims, bleary eyes repeatedly reading his text. I fucking did it, shit! He thinks to himself. Hobie's suddenly incredibly sweaty.
“Oh shit! That's my guy!” Ned punches Hobie's bicep. The rest look at him with bewilderment.
“What did you even say?” Riri scooches closer to read.
> I love you too I might be drunk right now but I wasn't when I first realized it I have loved you since you gave me hot chocolate when I was freezing my ass off trying to win that stupid selling contest
“Holy fuck.” Yuri pats Hobie's cheek. “Can't believe you're capable of being sweet.”
“Shit, bruv,” James sniffs, his tears falling on the screen. “that shit is awe inspiring— don't even start, Yuri”
“Wasn't gonna,” she shrugs.
Ned pokes Hobie's side when he realizes his friend hasn't moved an inch from his position. “You okay, Hobs?”
Hobie inhales shakily, a smile slowly spreading across his lips once your message pops up. He swears that fireworks suddenly lit up inside him.
“Oh my god—” Riri tears up, but before the rest of the band reads the message, Hobie jumps out of his seat, even forgetting his own jacket in the process.
“Hobie—shit! Wait!” Ned tries to call him back, but Hobie's already out of the pub, sprinting fast. “My fucking phone.” He could only scratch his head.
The wind nips at his bare arms, lungs heaving whilst he runs at full speed. He should've brought his web shooters with him, but he unfortunately left it in his jacket pockets. If he had them he'd be swinging to your place so he could get to you faster.
Hobie's glad that it's late, or else he'll be dodging people left and right. Boots thumping loudly across the pavement, hand gripping Ned's phone, getting closer to your familiar street, he curves around the corner, almost bumping into you.
He stops your momentum with his arms. He feels his own jacket against his arms, you wear his hoodie well. Your chest heaves, grin slowly appearing on your wind whipped lips.
“Hobie?” You ask and everything clicks together in his mind.
All the tentative touches you two shared, all the hugs that lingered a few seconds longer, all the times that you looked at him like he fished the moon out for you. And all the times he looked at you like you're made out of stars. It all comes together in that dusty street corner where you both have crossed a thousand times before.
“Looks like we had the same idea.” Hobie softly says, clammy hands sliding down to your own sweaty palms. He doesn't mind, it's you, so he would never mind it.
“I guess you read my message.” You hold him close, hands squeezing at his hands that you've mapped out in your mind.
He chuckles, sliding his hand out from yours to show you the screen. “‘Say it to me in person and I'll say it back,’ doesn't give me much leeway, love.” The streetlight above perfectly aligns above you, giving you both a spotlight.
You mirror his smitten smile. “What are you waiting for then?”
Hobie pockets the phone, then he holds your face gently, eyes staring at you like he always has. “I love you.”
You pull him closer by his collar. “I love you too, Hobie Brown.”
“Since when?” He rags you on.
You roll your eyes with a smile. “Ever since I got hit in the face with a basketball and you deflated it with your spiked bracelet and then called the jock who threw it a wanker.” He smiles wider at every word you utter. Leaning closer, he smells the wine on your lips. “The hot cocoa, really? That—” you fight the tears from flowing. “That was years before we became best friends.”
“And I've continued to love you since then, and will love you as long as you let me.” Hobie presses his forehead atop yours, a kiss would suffice better, but for now, he'll settle for this.
You know him better than you know yourself. “Save me a kiss once we're both sober?”
“They're all reserved for you, love.”

In Your Head (And Out Of Your Heart) (Steph Catley x Caitlin Foord x Reader)
A/n requested
Also, I promise I've got others lined up. There was just a wave of Stephy and Cait lined up in my requests, and I'm just doing first come, first served rn 😅
Summary: Moments for the trio, complications, expectations, and satisfactory temptations. or all the times everybody but the three of you realise you love them a little more than friends do.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sleek muscular lines run up the outside of her calves, defining themselves with every strain of the muscular legs belonging to the sweet and bubbly Australian.
Apparently, facing the treadmills away from the wall so that one could see the whole gym when doing their runs was what the interior designers wanted.
It also meant anyone doing hip thrusts was in your direct line of sight, facing off to the side.
The way her shorts ride up slightly, showing off toned thighs, was another problem.
You shake your head a little.
Why were you ogling... again..
Steph's your best friend. You don't want to make it awkward. Sure, all friends called each other hot and stuff, but they definitely don't check each other out in attempted subtlety.
The soft grunts as she lifts up the bar permeate through the music in your left ear leaving your cheeks to darken significantly.
Of course, in the midst of that, you make the mistake of taking a small sip from your water bottle whilst mid run.
Steph let's the weight settle back onto the ground away from her, but in the process of stretching out again, her shirt lifts slightly, revealing a sliver of the soft, newly tanned skin you'd been imagining feeling under your fingertips for months on end.
Water gets caught halfway down your throat as your breath hitches and with that a coughing fit that makes you end up in a piled heap on the ground.
A concerned hand patting your back, helping you regain your breathing, grabs your attention.
It's a familiar hand that you immediately recognise as belonging to the other call for your affection.
If your cheeks weren't already bright red from exertion and nearly dying, they would've darkened further at your treadmill buddy having been the one to spot you on the ground.
Though given the amount of racket you've just made, drawing attention from the whole squad and their trainers, Caitlin isn't the only one now watching you with a concerned look.
"You alright, Dahl?"
You nod, accepting the hand up from the brunette, brushing yourself off quickly.
"Fine, just water went down the wrong hole." You joke mildly.
A smile tugging at the corner of Caitlin's lips makes your stomach warm, and you have to fight every urge to run away in embarrassment as it quickly morphs into a smirk.
"Maybe don't drink water mid stride next time, cutie."
With an affectionate roll of your eyes, you quickly return to the treadmill once again, shooting the onlooking blue eyed striker a reassuring smile as she watches you return to position with a careful gaze, though doing so makes your heart beat a little faster in your chest.
With that, you resort to getting lost in thought instead of so blatantly staring.
You have to get your feelings under control and fast.
--------------------------
"Do you think she notices?"
Steph's head perks up from it's position resting on her propped up hand.
"What?"
Beth gestures to your shaking form, body rattling with laughter as you talk with your teammates during breakfast.
"Y/n."
"Does she notice what?"
Steph's confused look is met with a cynical one from the blonde.
"Does she notice it when you both give her 'fuck me' eyes?"
Caitlin just about spits out her food across from them, coughing to avoid choking, and then swallowing.
"What the fuck are you on about?"
Beth scoffs.
"Please, you both know exactly what I'm talking about. Steph, you were staring at the girl for exactly one minute and thirty two seconds before I had to call your attention away just then and Caitlin, don't act like you weren't ogling the poor girl while she was relying on you as her spotter when she was doing her squat sets yesterday."
Steph's face goes mildly pink as she shakes her head.
"Yeah, no. There's no 'fuck me' eyes. At all. I'm happily engaged to Dean. Beffy, I have no idea what you're seeing here."
"Yeah, Beth, this is weird, even for you. I'm happy as I am with Lia."
"You guys... seriously?"
They both nod, Steph quickly changing the subject with a final glare at Beth so she doesn't protest for the rest of the meal.
They both finish up their food swiftly, taking off separately.
Beth groans, sliding her hand down her face. This was gonna be harder than she thought. There was no way she'd be able to get one of you to admit your feelings, let alone all three of you, by herself. She needed help.
And she knew just who to ask.
--------------------------
"No."
"But I haven't even-"
The captain holds up her hand, silencing the englishwoman.
"I'm not getting involved with whatever you've got planned."
"But Kimmy!"
The striker whines, latching onto the older woman hoping she'll give in to the puppy dog eyes.
"Beth-"
"I need help getting Y/n, Cait and Stephy to admit they're in love with each other."
That makes Kim's brows raise.
"Hell no. I'm not getting involved in other people's love lives. That's a definite fucking no. Also what makes you so confident in this information anyways?"
"You mean aside from Y/n nearly breaking something tripping on the treadmill yesterday after watching Stephy do her hip thrusts? Or Caitlin being the first one by her side?"
Assuming her power pose, Kim gives her a sceptical look.
"You mean when she was drinking water and choked? Or when Caitlin, the closest person to her, checked on her?"
Beth groans.
"No! It's not just that. It's the constant staring at each other. You should have seen the eyes Y/n was giving Cait in the locker room the other day. Not to mention the constant teasing from Cait as well. Steph is a like magnet when it comes to those two. The serious heart eyes she had this morning during breakfast were so ridiculously telling. I-"
Kim sighs and puts her hand again, pointing a finger at the striker.
"No, Beth, that's enough of that, honestly, I will not be getting involved in that, and you certainly shouldn't either. If I see you interfering at all."
It's a silent threat, but Beth doesn't need to hear it. Unfortunately, much like a team mother would, Kim would very much ground her. And would very much enforce it, too.
Okay, so maybe Kim wasn't her best option. She'd try Viv, but there's almost 100% chance she'd say no. Steph would normally be her next best option but obviously that's out of the question.
So she resigns to sighing and nodding, leaving the Arsenal captain alone to do her stretches.
Maybe Jen?
--------------------------
"No, absolutely not."
"But Jen, it's imperative we fix this issue, otherwise, all we'll be stuck with is longing looks for the rest of their lives."
"Beth, there's no issue to fix. Steph is getting married, and Caitlin is in a relationship. You're forgetting Lia is our friend too."
Beth paused for a moment. Jen's right. She hadn't even thought of the repercussions this would have on Lia. She was one of her oldest friends, too. God, she was an ass.
But still, she'd be an ever bigger ass if she couldn't help her friends out a little, right?
"Beffy, I know what you're thinking. But the answer is no. It's not worth it. It'll just create more drama than it's worth, I won't entertain the idea. It's gonna hurt someone, and what, then?"
"I know, I know. But you've gotta admit, there's something there, though, isn't there?"
Jen sighs softly.
"If even there might be an astronomical possibility that they're all magically single and available to mingle, and also completely fine with this. There's an off chance that they might work, given they're all so obviously at least girl crushing a little. But even then, it would still hurt someone."
Her shoulder's deflate, and Jen wraps her arm around her.
"Come on, Beth, just let it go. If it's meant to be, they'll work themselves out. Leave it alone. Now, come on, help me with this cleaning."
--------------------------
Steph's eyes trail across the pitch, taking but a few mere milliseconds to analyse your next run before sending a cross your way.
The perfectly timed lead allows for a perfectly timed header and a perfectly timed goal, equalising in just the second last minute of reg time.
The crowd erupts, and you bounce over to the defender, arms wrapping tightly around the woman in elation.
"Let's go, babygirl!"
Her hands settle underneath your legs, holding tightly so as to not drop you while your hands hold her face, forehead pressing to hers as you yell victoriously.
The final was Arsenal's for the taking now, thanks to your brilliant header.
The moment only serves to heighten your energy, and you drop from her grip only to jump into the waiting arms of your favourite striker.
"That's my girl!"
Your grin widens, and you shake her shoulders in excitement. Normally, you wouldn't brush aside that sort of comment, but it's in the middle of a game, so it's swept away to never be heard from again.
Returning to positions, Man United get the game underway once more, now downtrodden that they have to get another goal too.
Your heart races when you're given but another opportunity in the second stoppage minute. Or really, it's not much of an opportunity, more like a hail mary.
The ball has left your boot in an attempt at a last-minute miracle to give Arsenal the win.
From nearly fifty yards out, the ball sails far over the defensive line, passing a caught off guard Earps, who you'd spotted off her line just moments ago.
When it ricochets off the woodwork and into the net, you can hardly believe it, dropping to your knees in disbelief that it actually worked.
The noise from the crowd is almost unbearable.
Bodies pile onto yours, forcing you onto the pitch. Screaming and cheers from your teammates leave you matching their excitement and disbelief in your limited wiggles underneath the pile of Arsenal players.
The pile eventually pulls off you, and with several hugs and hair ruffles, you immediately feel the tightest hug between your two favourite people. You throw an arm up at the crowd from between Steph and Caitlin, both of them singing your praises into your ear as loud as they can.
The crowd cheers louder at your gesture, the feelings wash over you finally.
Relief. Happiness. Mild disbelief still.
"You fucking beautiful woman!"
"That's our fucking girl right here, baby!"
You grin up at the two women, squeezing both of them tightly and running back to position with one final wave to the crowd.
Two pairs of eyes watching the interaction exchange looks.
The moment play is restarted, the whistle blows for full time, leaving you and your teammates screaming in celebration.
Steph is the first one to you, jumping into your arms, wrapping tightly around you, and legs wrapping around your waist as you quickly grab them to avoid dropping her.
Your heart beats hard and fast, not sure whether it's the win or Steph's hands grabbing your face and kissing your forehead that does it.
A part of you wants to assume it's the win.
A part of you knows it's both.
That doesn't stop you from relishing in the moment, though, thoroughly enjoying her hands on you, which are now squishing your cheeks adorably.
The moment is gone the moment she leaves your arms, but it doesn't last long.
Caitlin is quick to pile on you next, fingers threading through your hair. While unintentional, it makes you buzz just that little bit more.
When her grin makes your whole body warm, you realise at that moment just how screwed you are.
And if anyone were to ask about your blush at them both kissing your cheeks in a pose for a photo with the trophy, well, you'd just deny it to the ends of the Earth.
--------------------------
Steph doesn't think about the little things too often. Moments here and there that aren't even so much as waved off, they're that insignificant.
Small touches. Friendly hugs. Little gifts. Every little detail that she normally ignores.
She doesn't think about all the times she's hugged you just that little bit tighter than she does with Beth or Lia.
She doesn't think about the bag of her favourite lollies being left in her cubby after practice that was most definitely planted by you.
She doesn't think about the way her eyes drift to you naturally, watching your form move across the pitch gracefully.
She doesn't think about the way her mood always brightens when she sees you, even if you'd already seen each other five times that day.
She doesn't think about the kiss she leaves on your forehead or cheek when you say hello or goodbye.
Except she does.
At least now that Beth's pointed it out to her.
Truth is, as much as she denied it that day at breakfast, her eyes were locked on you in every spare moment.
Realising just how much you actually invaded her thoughts and senses, well...
It's a startling revelation.
It scares the crap out of her.
She loves Dean and would do anything for the man she's planning to marry. He's a sweetheart. He keeps her on her toes. He takes care of her better than all of her previous partners ever could.
It's a startling revelation when she realises how much time she spends with you and Caitlin over him.
Caitlin.
That one comes out of left field. It definitely worries her, though, her best friend entering her trail of thought, too. That one catches her a little more off guard than she likes.
So, she leaves that one for another time, shoving it back into what was supposed to be a deadbolt box of intrusive thoughts in her head.
She hates how much you invade her head.
When she thinks back on what started it, she can't pinpoint it. Just that you'd always been the sweetest friend to her. Friend. She hates that her stomach turns at the term.
It'd always been you to comfort her in moments of doubt. It was always you she wanted beside her when victory came the team's way.
Steph feels helpless when she realises how much she actually cares for you.
She feels helpless when she realises how screwed she truly is.
"Babe, dinner's ready!"
Dean's voice brings her out of her head, echoing from the kitchen of their shared flat in London.
As she makes her way over to the table, the plate already set out for her, a small kiss pressed into the bearded cheek of her fiance, her mind wanders back again.
What the hell is she gonna do?
--------------------------
Beth doesn't leave it alone in the end. She's determined to at least get something out of you if she can't get something out of Steph or Caitlin.
Though with Kim now watching her like a hawk during training, she has to be subtle about it, so getting you alone during a night out without Kim or Jen is a little too difficult, especially since you're glued to Caitlin and Steph's sides constantly.
Viv being there is out of the question, so she had to come up with an excuse to get you out with her, on your own.
"N/n pleeeease, I need you to come with me, shopping."
You groan into the phone in annoyance at the blonde. You'd just wanted to enjoy your day off without the stress of having to socialise like an adult.
"Why can't you go on your own? Or with literally anyone else but me? Steph or Viv, or literally any one of the 23 other women in our squad?"
"Because you've got the day off, Steph is busy, Viv is out of the question because I'm shopping for a gift for her, and I want it to be a surprise and you're the only other one that knows her almost as good as I do."
You can hear the pout from your side of the line, and when you sigh softly into the receiver, Beth knows she's won.
"Fine, but I really wanna be back home as soon as possible. I have some serious me time planned, and I wanna get back to that as soon as possible."
"Gross Y/n, I know you're single and all but-:
"Shut the fuck up and get over here."
-
It doesn't take her long to come kidnap you and drag you around to nearly every store in the shopping centre, and it's a miracle you're only stopped once for pictures.
"Beth, why are we here? Why do you need my opinion on this? Why am I even here?"
Apparently, her final chosen store was a lingerie store. It also means she's trying to get you to purchase something as well. Why? You don't know.
"Because you're the next best judge for me. Also, you need to get out. You've been way too busy lately and need to do some shopping for you and for you only."
"For god sakes, I'm literally you're only single friend, I'd be the worst judge for this."
Punctuating your sentence with dropping into your seat once again with a tired groan.
"Also, I know I've been way too busy, that's why I was at home in the first place. Now, can we please hurry up and go, Beffy?"
You whine, now getting fidgety under the pile of bags you've been made to carry around for her.
Tossing another pair back over the curtain to you, telling you to toss her the next pair, she chuckles at your exasperation.
She's been stalling as long as she can to try and get the opportunity to talk to you but hasn't found the right words this whole time. She knows if she doesn't ask soon, she'll up losing her only chance.
"Just give me a couple more minutes to try these on, and I'll take you to go get some nando's?"
Huffing softly, knowing she's got you with the offer of food, you sit back down again, waiting for her to finish browsing.
"Fine, but hurry up or you'll be dealing with hangry Y/n, too."
"Got it, Sweetpea. Now, pick out a set, too."
Your loud groan of annoyance makes her laugh.
-
It's only in the car on the way home that she finally manages to ask.
"So, Y/n, I've been noticing some things over the past couple months."
Swallowing the mouthful of chicken, you look over at her suspiciously.
"And what would that be?"
"You've been giving Stephy and Cait eyes."
Turning your head, you roll your eyes at the same time, though there's a sting in your eyes as you fight back the oncoming rush of emotion.
"Beth, you're gonna have to be specific. I kinda have to look at them to converse with them. Ya know, best friends and all."
Giving emphasis to the word friends, you're hoping she'll let what you know she's about to say go. Of course, this is Beth, and of course, that's not happening.
"N/n, that's not what I meant, and you know it."
It's said a little softer this time, with the hopes you don't scare away entirely.
"It's not happening, Beffy. There's nothing there, and nothing will ever be there."
Her heart breaks for you at the crack in your voice and she can see tears peaking out of the corners of your eyes.
She pulls over in an isolated carpark, so she can fully look at you.
"Doesn't mean it hurts any less."
"If it means I don't lose them, then I don't care how much it may or may not hurt. I can't lose them."
You've fully curled up in her passenger seat now, legs pressed to your chest as you pick at the cuticles on your fingers.
"I can't do it. I can't let them see it."
She sighs, resigning to letting you work this out for now. She knows you're stubborn. She knows you won't let her intervene under any circumstance.
"I'm serious, Beffy. You can't tell them, they can't know about this. I won't lose them."
"I won't tell them. If that's what you want, I won't tell them. They still deserve to know, though. It's not fair on you or them to keep this bottled up. It'll kill you in the end if you don't tell someone."
"So be it... I'll figure something out. Maybe take some time away. The only way to get over someone is to get under someone else, right?"
It's said in half joking tone, but Beth knows otherwise. She's seen how you coped with your previous relationship ending. You nearly killed your reputation entirely with the constant one night stands.
How you cope is up to you, and she still respects you as a person, but she also wants you to be happy, both with yourself and your life.
She never judged you. She never seriously complained at having to come get you every other night for three weeks straight every time you called her for a lift home.
She did get sick of it though, and she finally managed to get you to leave that behind fairly swiftly after your position on the team was threatened by the incessant news articles with leaked images of you with a new girl on your arm in every single one.
The others hadn't entirely seen that side of you, you pushing them away to avoid scaring them away too.
Beth was the only one who didn't take your attempts at pushing her away.
"Just, take it easy, alright? Don't let it risk your career as well. I'm not letting that happen again. You're my family, sweet girl."
She punctuates the sentence by pulling you to hug her over the console, and you let her, letting the tears fall finally, holding your best friend tightly.
"It's gonna be okay, Y/n. It might not feel like it, but you'll make it out okay eventually."
Would you?
--------------------------
Caitlin, to her credit, doesn't acknowledge what Beth had said until much later. It takes a whole two months until she even realises her heart had been elsewhere.
Until her current relationship with Lia becomes a past one.
When she realises she should feel more devastated than she does.
When she realises that she feels way more comfortable about the breakup than she should.
Her thoughts don't fully drift to you until she feels her heart race when you hug her after she tells you about the breakup.
It's not that she never thought about you, really. It's more that she never realised she was thinking about you a lot more than was acceptable.
The gifts she'd get you, whether it be fresh coffee in the morning or even flowers after your previous breakup just a year ago.
The small cheeks kisses she'd get from you in return that make her cheeks flush a little.
She begins to wonder in that moment.
Had you noticed the way her heart sped up a little when you hugged her, ear pressed to her chest as you both embraced?
Had you noticed the pink hue her face took on when you smiled that gorgeous smile that only appears when you're genuinely happy?
Had Lia noticed any of this?
It makes her feel both guilty but also flustered at the thought of being so dimwittingly obvious.
In the final conversation between her and her ex, Lia had cited her lack of presence in the relationship.
"You're just not in it anymore, Caitlin. I can't be with you when you aren't here, with me."
She does feel guilty for it. Knows how crap Lia must have felt not having her girlfriend there for her, but she knows it's for the best.
What she does notice is your sudden absence. She sees a lot less of you than she'd like. You disappear from rooms that she's in. If you're forced to be in the room, you're seated far from her and Steph.
Training is much the same, only interacting to keep it professional. It makes her heart ache more than anything. Had she done something? Was she too telling?
Her stomach drops at the thought.
What if you knew? What if she was too obvious?
What if-
"Hey, you alright Cait?"
Steph's hand on her shoulder is comforting, and it sends soft tingles through her skin beneath the fabric of the training jersey.
She has to avoid jerking away from the feeling.
"Fine. Do you..."
She pauses, trying to work out if she wants to even bring Steph into this.
"Is there something up with Y/n?"
Steph hesitates at that, an unsure look on her face.
"Have you noticed it too? She's been avoiding us a bit. It's like that time a year ago. When she..."
Caitlin nods, understanding saturated on her face now.
"Maybe something's happened?"
"It's weird, though. It feels like it's just us she's avoiding."
Steph nibbles at her lower lip nervously, looking around the pitch. She notices, though, that they're not the only ones keeping a close eye on you. Beth is looking over to you every so often, concern laced in her gaze and the way her eyes follow your movements.
It makes sense, though. You'd always been closest with the blonde striker. You'd clicked the moment you'd joined Arsenal four years ago, right before the other two aussies had.
"It's probably just something going on. She'll work it out. She's got Beth looking after her, it seems."
The striker nods and moves to continue the drills, though the worry doesn't ebb at all.
In fact, it only increases the closer to the world cup they get. What were you going to do once the World Cup came around? Maybe they would have to keep an eye on you themselves.
--------------------------
Steph, it turns out, is right. It is just them you're avoiding.
It's the why that has them worried.
Their best friend, their favourite person, was now actively avoiding their presence.
You seemed fine chatting away to everyone else in camp. In fact, they'd found you in cuddle piles with some of the youngins more often than not. Something you'd do with Steph and Caitlin without hesitation normally.
She finds herself missing you more often than not, her heart wrenching itself at the thought of them losing you now.
She thinks back on what she'd realised just a month previously.
It becomes clear that she just has to ignore it if she wants things to go back to normal.
Plus, it has to go away. It's already had her second guessing her own relationship. And Dean's starting to notice her hesitation, too. It has to stop. If not for her sake, then for his and yours as well.
It's just a silly little crush. She has Dean, and she has Caitlin and you as friends. Well, only if she can work out why you're avoiding them.
Meanwhile, you're doing everything you can to push down the pain of not having properly spoken to Caitlin and Steph.
It hurts like all hell to not be near them but you need the time to settle before the opening game, which is creeping ever closer with every hour you spend working out what the fuck you're gonna do.
You can't avoid them forever. You aren't sleeping properly anymore and it's affecting your performance.
Beth has been messaging you constantly, checking up on you, but she hasn't been able to see you at all, given she's still in London doing her rehab. Though she does promise to fly over for a few days to come see you and the girls when she can, knowing the other England girls would want to see her as well.
Unfortunately, she knows you a little too well as well, and she calls out the tiredness in your voice one day, it's 9am and you've not trained for the day, so she knows you have no excuse to be tired yet.
You brush her off, but the mild scolding you get in return is enough to have you spilling the beans.
"Just not sleeping too well is all. I'm fine, Beffy. I'm just adjusting to the environment again. It's been a while since we've been in camp."
"You and I both know that's not the reason. How are coping over there? And be honest with me. I have my sources."
Rolling your eyes slightly, you huff down the phone.
"Your sources need to mind their own business. And I'm fine, I'm serious. I'm taking my time and everything, just like you said."
"I didn't mean to explicitly ignore them altogether either. Steph's worried about you. She's already messaged me asking if you're alright and that you'd been acting weird even before international break started."
"Shit."
"Caitlin, too. Said you've been distant but doesn't wanna scare you away. Y/n, please, for the sake of your sanity and theirs. Just talk to them."
"Beth...."
"I'm serious lovey, you need to talk to them, even if you don't outright say, 'I'm in love with you both', just tell them you're dealing with feelings at the moment. They're missing their best friend, not just you missing them here."
There's a soft knock on your door that grabs your attention.
"Look, I'll think about it-"
"No. Talk to them. I'm serious. I can't play buffer when I'm not there. You need to talk to them. Not me."
"Alright, I'll do it at some point. I have to go, someone's at the door."
"Y/n-"
"Love you, bye."
You hang up with a soft growl of frustration, the knocks on the door getting more persistent now.
"For the love of- I'm coming, calm down!"
Swinging open the door, you're met with a sheepish looking Steph and Caitlin.
Not who you're expecting. But at the same time...
"What's up?"
You keep it calm, not wanting to totally panic now that the exact people you were avoiding are at your door.
"Can we talk?"
Shuffling your feet slightly, you step aside, gesturing for them to come in.
They stand there awkwardly for a minute before you walk up to them, poking Steph in the shoulder lightly with a small smile.
"Stop being weird, y'all can sit down ya know."
A slight smile tugs at her lips and they both chuckle softly, conceding to sit on the edge of the single bed while you pull up the chair, resting one foot on the set, knee pressed up to your chest.
"So what's up?"
They exchange a look for a moment.
"We were hoping you'd tell us that."
Feigning ignorance, you tilt your head slightly.
"About...?"
Steph sees right through you though, a raised brow in your direction.
"You know what about. You haven't spoken a word to us since before we even left london. What's going on? Is something happening?"
You scratch at the back of your neck slightly, head ducking to avoid eye contact that you know will probably mess you up in trying to not confess your undying love.
"Just a small thing... it's not really major. I just figured I had to deal with it on my own for a bit."
"And that includes completely avoiding us and only us?"
Caitlin's words have a bit of bite now, frustration leaking through.
Swallowing softly, you look up at them.
"It's not- You guys know me better than the others, figured if I avoided you both, it would be easier to avoid having a conversation about it."
Steph moves from her spot towards you, kneeling to take your hands, which are now propping up your head on both knees.
"Talk to us Sweetheart, what's going on in that head of yours?"
Feeling tears well up in your eyes, you tilt your head back slightly, not wanting them to streak down your face in front of them.
It hurts so bad. You want to tell them, but you can't risk it.
What you don't see but hear is Caitlin moving to crouch by your side, hand resting on your leg, concerned look making it's way onto her features.
"Talk to us darlin', we just want our friend back."
There it is, the word you hate so much. It makes your stomach drop, and the tears flow freely down your cheeks. Looking down at them, you shake your head.
"I can't tell you that."
A shaky breath wracks your chest and you turn your head away, avoiding the worried blue and brown eyes of the women in front of you.
A hand settles on your chin, bringing you back to look at them.
"Why not? You know you can tell us anything. Please, we just want to make you're alright."
The feeling of their hands on you is overwhelming. Between your heart and your head, everything is racing and feels so heavy.
Standing abruptly, you step back away from them both, moving away from their outstretched hands when they reach for you.
"I just can't."
Cutting Caitlin off before she can say anything else, you move over to the door, opening it.
"Just please leave. I can work it out on my own. I can't tell you just yet, alright? I love you both, but I need to get my head straight before I can talk about it. I'll be fine, just... please...."
Sighing softly, Steph moves towards the door, but not before cupping your cheek softly and kissing your forehead.
"We're here for you. Whenever you feel like talking. Don't forget that."
You nod softly, and she steps out the door.
Caitlin does the same, hand lingering a little longer on your shoulder, though, squeezing softly.
There's something in her eyes you don't quite recognise, but you don't question it as she she leaves, muttering a soft goodbye to you.
Shutting the door behind them, your form slides down the wooden panel, sitting knees to your chest as you rest your head on your knees, listening as their footsteps echo further down the hallway in synchronized steps.
You are such a coward.
Why didn't you just tell them?
Everything would be so much easier.
It would hurt too much to lose them, though.
They'd hate you forever.
You'd ruin everything.
The thoughts running through your head are loud, and they don't leave room for much else, so you do the only you know to try and calm yourself.
You pull out your phone, dialling Beth's number and wait with bated breath.
The moment she picks up, its like it all just blurts out at once.
"Hello?" It's said in a tired voice.
"I couldn't do it!" Choked sobs from your end immediately make the blonde shoot up from her spot in bed, her girlfriends arm suddenly moved from its position around her waist.
"What? Y/n, talk to me."
"I tried to tell them, and I just broke down and told them to leave! They're gonna hate me!"
There's a concerned hand on her arm from a half asleep Viv, and she gives her an apologetic look, mouthing your name to her.
"Oh sweet girl, they could never hate you. God they lovd you way too much to hate you."
"That's the problem. They'll never love me like that. Not the way I do. They'll hate me if I tell them. It's basically a lose-lose situation either way."
It's loud enough that the dutchie hears it from her position behind the englishwoman, and her brows furrow. When had this occurred?
"Babe, what is she talking about?"
"Uhhhh.. gimme a minute." She turns back to the phone.
"Alright, it's okay, you couldn't tell them. I need you to take a deep breath for me, okay? You're gonna send yourself into a serious hyperventilation if you don't breathe for me, alright?"
You take a moment to let your chest muscles relax, trying to keep them from constricting in your chest too much.
It doesn't quite work, though, and everything just comes crashing down around you, your sobs just becoming harder.
"I c-cant. It hurts!"
Shit.
"That's okay, I want you to do something for me, okay? Put a hand to your chest for me."
Doing so, you set down the phone, putting it on speaker, knowing the drill by now, having done this many times before.
"Five things you can see?"
Squinting up into the now dark room you scan the place, trying to focus on the various items in the darkness.
"Uh, c-curtains, a chair.... my bed, a pile of clothing... myself in the standing mirror."
"Good, that's it. Four things you can hear."
"You, Viv, my pulse in my ears, the cleaner down the hallway."
"Good, three things you can feel."
Swallowing lightly, you rest your head against the cool wood of the door, allowing it to ground you a little better.
"Cold, the carpet is cold. The wood of the door. Sweaty, and snotty. I feel gross."
Ignoring you joking softly, she continues.
"Two things you can smell, sweets."
Taking one more shaky breath, your pulsd starts to lessen off from its incessant beating in your eardrums.
"Uh, carpet cleaner and Steph's perfume."
"That's it, one more. One thing you can taste."
"The peanut butter cup I ate earlier."
"There you go, take a few more breaths for me."
"Someone want to explain whats going on now?"
Viv's voice sounds from your phones speaker, and you sigh softly. Now another person probably knows.
You hear some muttering over the line followed by a small hum.
"Ah, so you're finally admitting it then?"
Huh?
"Wha-"
"It was kind of obvious, really. You really weren't subtle about it."
Of course, she's right. Who were you kidding? It was so blatanly obvious. It was painful to anyone observing it. You couldn't imagine what the other two might have seen.
"I can tell what you're thinking, sweetheart. As obvious as it is to the rest of us, those two knuckleheads have no clue. Thats on them for not noticing you're struggling."
"That's the problem. They know something up. They came to my room to work out why I was avoiding them, Beffy. They're gonna work it out sooner or later, and I don't think I wanna be stuck around them if they do. I don't want to think about having to witness that. The disgust on their faces because they're own best friend is in love with both of them."
On the other side of the line, Beth and Viv exchange a look, Beth sighs softly, her partners fingers carding through her hair, helping relieve the stress headache she can already feel coming on.
"Love, you need to tell them. I know you're struggling. They could never hate you or be disgusted by you. They love you. And they just need to realise it."
"You and I both know that's not true, though."
The frustration bubbling up in Beth's chest has it spilling from her lips before she can really stop herself.
"It is. You're just too blind to see it. Those girls are obsessed with you. The love in their eyes for you is honestly kind of sickeningly sweet. Too bad you're all too dumb to see it, though. It's so damn obvious to everyone but you. You literally just need to talk to them, please, for the sake of your mental health and ours. Talk. To. Them."
"Okay? Even if that were remotely true. Steph's getting married. There's no way in the world she'd even consider leaving that behind. The man treats her better than I ever could. We're just better off as friends. It needs to stay that way."
"Y/n-"
"No, Beth, I'm done with this. Look. I have to go. I'll talk to you later."
Beths protests are cut off by the click of you hanging up.
Even if she was right, so were you. Steph wouldn't leave Dean. She loves him far too much. He's her safest option, and she knows it.
Caitlin wad a whole other story.
Sure, she's single now. But what makes her any more available to you than Steph? She's still your friend. There's no way she'd want you the way you want them.
Letting your head hit the door once more, you sigh, wondering how the hell you'd fix what you're already damaging.
--------------------------
It starts off slowly. She doesn't even realise she's doing it. Little things here and there.
Picking at the little issues she finds.
Poking and prodding at the soft spots, pushing buttons she wouldn't normally push.
Apparently, it's pretty easy to start fights when you know what buttons to push.
Why? She has no clue.
In her head, though. It's staring her right in the face.
The little comparisons she makes.
You'd never get upset over her leaving her boots in a heaped pile beside the door.
Your cooking was always so much better whenever she went over to your place.
You'd never have left her to find travel home on her own after a World Cup.
In fact, you'd actively made sure she had a ride home, her reassuring (lies) left you feeling relieved that she wouldn't be on her own after the exit the Matildas took at the World Cup.
Whatever it was that had you avoiding them, you'd figured out how to deter it. Returning to conversing with the two brunettes like nothing had happened.
It was a little unsettling how much she noticed you putting on a mask with them.
As hard as you'd tried to fake being fine, she could read you like an open book. Or at least to a fair extent.
For one, your smile never quite reached your eyes, save for the one or two times of victory during the games. The most honest one you give is the win over France.
It was another thing she noticed. She found herself breathing a little easier with you by her side, even with a shell of a smile.
She doesn't push you, though. Not wanting to scare you away again.
Caitlin was very much of the same opinion. Even though you'd stopped avoiding them, you still weren't your usual cheery sunshiney self around them.
The striker doesn't bring it up, though. Only encouraging you with silent smiles of encouragement and occasional soft brushes of her hand against your back, shoulder, or arm when she's next to you.
So Steph does the same. Seeing you both tense but also relax under their, although gentle, not so subtle ministrations.
In the early hours of another chaos filled weekday, mainly filled with silent frustration built up between her and Dean. The latter not knowing what's going on with his Fiancee, he eventually has to poke and prod her enough to spill it.
Though, stubborn as the Australian is, she doesn't give too much, only snapping that she's fine and to let it go.
It sparks an argument that ends up with him storming out of the house, slamming the door behind him.
It started over a simple question over that nights pumpkin cous cous salad.
It takes her but five minutes of seething to realise what she's starting and why.
She feels sick to her stomach.
She was sabotaging her relationship with Dean.
And for what? A silly crush on her friend?
What the hell is she doing?
-
It's in the early hours of the evening that she gets a text from Dean saying he's at a friend's place for the night and that she needs to cool down and work out what her problem is before he'll return home.
With a defeated sigh, she sends him a sincere apology, telling him she was just frustrated at everything lately and to take the time he needs and that she would work on herself in the meantime.
Not that she does, really. Apparently, she doesn't learn her lesson, instead pushing down the already bottle necked emotions she's experiencing.
She knows it'll blow up in her face eventually. But what can she do? Admit she's secretly in love with you and destroy an already sinking ship of a relationship?
Probably.
But why do that when can sabotage ever having a more peaceful break up.
It seems like she's doom spiralling at this point.
It was a petty fight that blew up. Not that uncommon or that bad that it would suggest either of them should be ready to give up on everything they worked for together.
But that's the thing.
It's taken until she's blown up at him to realise how much they're fighting for it here. All of that pressure to be together. To work out.
To be the perfect it couple.
To want to work out.
It feels like they're both constantly giving 110% but when does the relief come? When do they get their due release. When does it get easier?
She'd thought love was supposed to be easy between two people. For couples to know each other. To read each other without even really trying.
Yet here he was, struggling to realise his own fiancee was falling for another woman.
And that she was letting it happen.
Like an idiot.
The more she ruminates, the more she sees the signs herself.
She's been pulling away from him more and more. Avoiding talking about you, unlike before when she'd bring you up at least once a day to him. Always eager to gush about her best friend like a teenager.
Now, even the remote mention of you leaves twists in her guts, and she has to try and subtly change the subject without letting on that she's hopelessly not in love with him anymore.
Oh.
She's loves Dean.
Right?
No.
Yes.
She loves him.
But she's not in love with him.
Not anymore.
It scares her.
He's always been her safety blanket.
But maybe that's the issue.
He was too comfortable. Too much of a safety blanket. Shielding her from what she should have been acknowledging this entire time.
Maybe. Just maybe.
She's been in love with you this whole time.
That's what scares her the most.
And now that she's finally realising it, she realises there's a conversation to be had.
And feelings she needs to communicate. Even if it hurts both of them. Because in the end, it'll hurt worse if she tries to fight it anymore than she already has. She's already hurting Dean too much by leading him on like this. She can't take it anymore, she has to tell him.
-
Any fairytale story would tell you that it went surprisingly well. That Dean says he knew all along. That he knew Steph was secretly gay and had been waiting for her to tell him so he could comfort her and encourage her to go for the girl. To go for you. To finally acknowledge that those lingering stares from you might mean something.
Unfortunately, this isn't a fairytale.
And he doesn't take it well.
In fact, he's pretty furious when she timidly brings it up.
She doesn't blame him though.
"Are you fucking serious right now, Steph?"
She winces at that.
"You want to ruin what we have because of that bitch?"
Anger flares up in her chest at that, and she shoots to her feet suddenly, coming to your aid despite you being blissfully unaware and not present for this.
Yes she fucked up but he has no right to call you that.
"Don't fucking call her that. This isn't her fault. She didn't do anything wrong. Yell at me, blame me, call me the bitch but do not insult her. Ever."
He chuckles darkly.
"I should have fucking known. How did I not see it? We've been fighting an uphill battle this whole time. All we do is argue, argue, argue at this point. And you don't even try anymore. Fuck, you had a go at me over pasta the other week. You've been finding excuses to insult everything I do. Everything I've achieved. Apparently, I can't even get dinner right anymore. Nothing is good enough for you. Now I know you've just been comparing me to your teammate this whole time."
Her head falls at that.
He's right.
She's been the worst partner to him. There's no excuse.
"Now I know that you've just been lying to me this entire time. And by the looks of it, yourself too."
The following silence as she tries to gather her words only serves to tick him off more.
"Fuck you Stephanie. I hope she treats you well."
The slam of the front door as he grabs his packed luggage and walks out the door with it, taking the last of the relationship with him, makes her collapse back onto the couch.
The tears, the frustration, the anger, at herself more than anything for letting it get this bad. All of it just crashes down on her and for the first time in a long time, she let's her emotions take over and she just cries.
Grieving the loss of a relationship doomed from the start. Grieving the major fuck up on her part.
Crying because she knows it's gone now.
Crying because even if she does end up with you. She's lost a friend in the man she once thought she loved. And that's on her. She knows that.
For now, though, she allows herself to cry it out, knowing the acceptance will take a while to come before she can fully move on from that.
--------------------------
Giggling as you shove Caitlin lightly, her arms tightly wrapping around you and wiping her sweaty forehead all over your face, you blush as she presses a kiss to your cheek with a small wink as she jogs off to the locker room, you following behind with a shake of the head.
It seems you'd finally started to let go a bit. With Caitlin now doing everything in her power to get you to smile daily, you start to let your guard down at your own behest more and more.
It seems easier, though, considering the sudden icyness from a certain defender that has you being pushed into the arms of the striker instead, literally.
It feels like she's latching onto you every minute she can. You can feel the stares from the other side of the training grounds. Feel the burning stare as she watches you with her best friend. The one she's now also trying to grapple whether or not she's falling for too.
You don't pay it much mind during training, but you do attempt to pull Steph out of whatever has her this down suddenly.
Leaving her little notes of encouragement after particularly gruelling sessions where Jonas had let his frustration out pretty badly on her after some major mistakes on her part.
Making sure she's always hydrating during the particularly warmer sessions.
Making sure she's been eating correctly by leaving her homecooked meals on top of her car when she goes to leave for the day.
Making sure she knows you're there even though she never stopped knowing that in the first place.
She'd tried pushing you away to sort everything out, but in the end, you make it a little difficult with the loving you're unknowingly (or maybe knowingly, she doesn't know) giving her. Even in a time when she's trying to make it clear, she wants to be alone.
You and Caitlin don't let her, though.
The forward always grabs the girl by the arm to pair up for training, forcing her to chat way about what's been going on.
She doesn't tell her that she's harbouring feelings. She does tell her that her and Dean have broken up though.
That was a shock to the striker.
She'd thought the woman was perfectly happy, but it seems everything was just bubbling away under the surface.
Caitlin does feel a little guilty for being happy about it, knowing the girl is going through heartbreak and all she can selfishly think about is how she's single now too.
She tells the forward not to tell anyone for now, not wanting to affect the rest of the team with more drama than what usually occurs. Even you, much to the younger brunettes protests.
She doesn't tell you that session.
In fact, it takes her a whole month before you manage to break her walls down enough again to spill the filthy secret she's been harbouring.
"Oh, Steph, I'm so sorry."
Your hug after she tells you is warm. Warmer than she'd realised. The feeling of your arms around her brings a surprising amount of comfort for something that, although she was still grieving, was mostly over with the thought that it's over, that's that.
"S'fine, it was a mess anyways. Both of us were struggling to keep it civil in the end. It was my fault anyway. I just stopped loving him and refused to acknowledge it for so long. It blew up on me."
"Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt either. You're allowed to be upset about it. Sometimes, we can't control how we feel, Stephy."
But oh how right you were.
Despite her scrambling to lock down her feelings and keep her heart from latching itself onto you, it had done so with an eagerness to rival Katie in a no rules match. (Which after a couple weary tackles, had to be vetoed by Jonas and the medical staff).
"I know, jus' can't not feel guilty. I treated him like shit towards the end."
"Steph, from what you've told me, he only fired right back, too. Think about it. He got pissed when you tried to communicate that something needed to change. Maybe it hit a little closer to home for him, too."
What?
Wait a minute.
Oh god.
It wasn't entirely her fault.
It all makes sense now.
That's all it takes for her to finally pick up her phone again to check social media.
And what do you know. He's suddenly got a new girl on his arm, not even a month later.
Now she's pissed. She has every right to be.
Why, you ask?
The new girl on his arm was the clerk at his gym that he ran. The one that he said was only being friendly when Steph got mad about her being flirty.
That asshole.
You can see the thought process play out in her facial expressions, from the moment of realisation to the reaction to it.
"That lying cheating dick."
The evidence?
'Happy Six month anniversary baby'
One title on one post.
She feels so much pressure on her chest drop off with the discovery. Despite the anger, she feels freer than before. The crushing weight of the breakup is now firmly off of her shoulders, and she feels like she can breathe again.
Well, now she can let it all go and not feel guilty about wanting to move on.
Now, all she has to do is work everything else out, too.
"Oh god, he didn't."
Your face is one of concern, and frankly, she just about laughs, the ridiculousness of the situation almost bubbling over. So when she does laugh, you only look more concerned for the brunette.
"He did. I've never felt more relieved, to be honest with you. I felt so damn guilty for ending it the way things did. Turns out he's been screwing his work admin for the past six months. I hope that dick is happy. Those two are perfect for each other."
Despite the situation, you laugh with her, her arm slips around your shoulders.
"So I'm ready to get over it, dunno 'bout you, but I feel like celebrating."
"Ice cream and movie night."
"Absolutely, mind if I let Cait come too?"
"You better."
She grins at the smile that crosses your lips at the mention of the striker.
--------------------------
"Oh my god, I can not believe she let him do that. I swear these chicks are so stupid romance movies."
You groan out at the main character once again, falling for lover boys' false apologies, and Steph and Caitlin chuckle from either side of you, ceramic bowls in hand.
"Babe, it's a romance movie. What do you expect? It's gonna be cheesy and stupid."
Despite your cheeks flushing in the half lit up darkened lounge room in your house, you shake your head.
"Damn, if only she actually knew how to be treated, she might not go back to his dumb butt every time. Woman needs to learn to love herself more."
The pair exchange an amused look over your head, your form slumped into the cushions as they sit sideways on the lounger, arms holding up their heads as they watch you criticise the movie more and more.
What you miss is the shared look of affection over your head, a silent agreement as they both move to press themselves onto either side of you.
-
Cut back to this afternoon after training.
The pair of them had been chatting away, Steph having told Caitlin about your movie night when the striker got a look on her face. Like something clicked.
"So we were thinking- what? What's that look?"
"I just remembered something."
Steph gestures for the girl to continue.
"So.. when were you planning on telling me you ARE in love with Y/n."
Her cheeks flush bright red, and she stumbles over an explanation.
"It's still so fresh.. a-and I wasn't entirely sure and..."
The laugh that escapes the forward has her a little confused.
"Thank god. I thought I was imagining things. You're not the only one, Stephy. She's pretty great, huh?"
"You're not... I don't know, upset that I love her too?"
"Hell no. Steph. Puddin'. Babe. You can't control how you feel and if I'm being honest. I don't mind at all. Like, I kind of like that you do."
Caitlin's cheeks warm, and she looks down, scuffing her boots slightly against the turf.
There's a small pause as Steph observes the forward. She looks around and sees that everyone else has already made their way back towards the change rooms.
"Caitlin..."
The girl looks up again, finding dilated pupils staring back at her and she whines at the look.
"Steph..."
"Can I...-"
"Please."
That's all the indication the older woman needs to tug her into a harsh kiss, hands finding her cheeks.
Hands tangling in her hair make her whimper into the kiss, and a flush creeps up her neck to her ears as their lips slot together easily.
It feels so much softer, but also more passionate than anything she'd ever shared with that piece of garbage.
She practically melts when she feels the other woman's tongue lazily drag across her lower lip, knees just about buckling as the hands move to slip under the edge of her shirt, trailing across the skin of her stomach.
Eventually, they both pull away, gasping and air intermingling their puffed breaths.
"Oh. My. God."
Caitlin chuckles, hands moving back to settle on the woman's jawline.
"You have no idea how long I've been wanting to do that."
Both of them are pressed tightly to one another, allowing their shared warmth to wrap around them, cocooning them for but a few short moments.
"I kept denying how much I realised I was falling for you both."
"Both?"
The hopeful glint in the striker's eye makes her melt further into her, lips grazing hers once again.
"You both made it so ridiculously hard not to. You've always cared more than anyone. And you do so much more than you realise for me, too."
The grin that crosses the strikers face as she leans her forehead against Stephs is mirrored by said woman.
"I may or may not have fallen for you both, too."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"What do you say we go put the girl out of her misery, too? I hate to say it, but we totally missed the way she's been pining this whole time."
"That's an ego boost and a half."
"Like you need it."
An affectionate eye roll.
"Shush you."
And she slots their lips together again once more before sneaking back to the locker room.
-
The feeling of the two of them cuddling into suddenly makes you jump slightly, two hands resting on your stomach, shirt riding up slightly underneath their touch.
"I-... can I help you both? Are you okay?"
Both of their eyes on you makes you shrink in on yourself a little, worried something might be wrong.
"Perfectly fine gorgeous."
"Doing pretty, thanks, baby."
Your cheeks are glowing beneath the light of the television and both of them are still watching you intently.
Swallowing softly, you turn to meet Steph's eye.
"I- Can I tell you two something?"
"Of you can, babygirl."
A nod of affirmation from the striker has you nervously picking at your cuticles.
"It's about why I was avoiding you both back in camp. I was... nervous. I didn't want you to know something so I was trying not to spill it."
A soft chuckle from Steph.
"We know, sweetheart, that part was obvious."
Your cheeks flush a little more.
"And, I might have realised something and I've been scared to say anything. Because you're both my friends, and I don't wanna ruin what we have-"
"We know gorgeous."
"We could tell. You weren't overly subtle. It just took us a while to see it."
You duck your head a little, but a set of two fingers lifts it up by your chin again to face the older of the two.
Immediately, you whimper, spotting the way her eyes have darkened significantly.
"Kiss me. Please."
"With pleasure sweet girl."
And so they do. First Steph, claiming your bottom lip between hers, sucking at it, tugging it and letting it go with a soft pop, before pressing back to you again, hand sliding up under the fabric of your tshirt.
A pair of hands gently pulls you away from the defender, and another pair of soft lips quickly takes your own again, leaving you whimpering into it.
Parting your lips at the now hasty swipe of Caitlins tongue, she slips it into your mouth, moulding with your own, leaving you a forever breathless, whimpering mess. Literal putty beneath their fingertips.
Pulling away enough to speak, your chest rises and falls harshly, but you're beaten to it by the forward.
"We've fallen for you as well, sweet girl. We put off acknowledging it for so long, I don't know about you, but I dont feel like wasting anymore time. Be ours?"
Without a single moment of hesitation, you nod eagerly, quickly pulling Steph back into you, allowing your hands to rest on the nape of her neck and as Caitlin's hands trail up to the hemline of your sports bra, you subconsciously breath a sigh of relief, feeling the weight of several tonne trucks fall off your shoulders again.
They loved you too.
You could cry right now.
But you dont. Instead, you focus on the way they touch you like they'll never get to feel you ever again. You focus on the way they kiss you, stealing your breath away with every lock of their lips to yours.
In the end, you're so glad you listened to Beth for once. And she's very glad when she's you walk into training sporting new hickeys and two hands in your own, followed by mild regret now that you're all disgustingly in love, too.
Deep down, she loves it, though. She loves you, and she's glad you've finally got what you deserve.
--------------------------
She's done, but I'm delirious, so I'll come back and edit tomorrow 😭

babe virgin!eddie has my heart and pussy fr
when he cums inside you for the first time you KNOW that mf is shaking and whimpering. ughhhh fuck he sounds so cute and pretty too, his moans and whimpers all soft and high pitched 😩😩😩. he’s holding onto your body desperately. poor baby is so sensitive. he’s on the verge of tears because he’s never felt anything like that before.
Tumblr media
anon ur so right.... thots are certainly being thot rn. 18+
Tumblr media
eddie liked to say that he was only half a virgin when he met you because it wasn’t like he was totally inexperienced
he almost got a blow job once in the bathroom at the hideout after a show
but he was drunk and nervous and couldn’t get it up so that was a bust (or lack thereof)
a couple years back, he nearly lost his virginity to a really pretty girl who was also a virgin
but they both chickened out at the very last second because they figured the first time they had sex, it should probably be with someone they actually sort of liked romantically
so it’s not like eddie’s never touched a girl before
but the only thing that’s ever made him come is his right hand
the first time he’s inside of you, he doesn’t move for several long moments
he lays all of his weight on top of you and hides his face in your neck
every one of his heavy breaths and whines fans against your skin
and you know that he’s a virgin, but at first you think he’s being so still because he doesn’t want to hurt you
“it’s okay, eds. you can move”
“no the fuck i can’t, sweetheart,” he laughs breathlessly “not unless you want me to come, like, right fucking now”
it makes you smile because you can feel the subtle twitches of his hard cock inside of you
and you’ve never made a guy come this fast before so you’re honestly a little flattered
“that’s okay. you can come whenever you want to, eddie”
he all but shudders at your words as he whines into your neck
“don’t say shit like that, baby. ’s gonna make me come”
“do it then. come for me, eds”
five and a half pumps inside of you and he’s done for
he tenses and stills against you, letting out a choked moan as his orgasm rolls over his body
it creeps up on him at first before hitting him full force
and you moan right along with him when you feel him release several spurts of come inside of you
he’s never come that hard before, not with his own hand
and you’ve never felt so fucking full
he shudders against you while he comes and lets out pretty little moans and delicate whimpers into your neck
you coax him through every wave of his orgasm
you wrap your thighs around his waist to pull him further into you
and rub your palms up and down his back
but what really gets him are the praises you whisper in his ear
“good boy, eds. you’re doing so good. so perfect for me.”
and even though he’s well spent, his hips keep rocking into you after the fact
both of you moan at the wet squelches of his cock inside you as it pushes through a mixture of his come and your slick
and it surprises you because “aren’t you sensitive, eds?”
you feel him nod against you with a strangled cry
“wanna make it good for you too”
“you don’t have to, eds—”
for the first time since putting his dick in you, he pulls his head from the side of yours to look at you
his shiny with sweat, eyes glazed over, cheeks blotchy and glowing red, lips swollen from where he’d been biting them and pressing wet kisses along your neck and shoulder
“i’ll be damned if i'm gonna be the virgin who can’t make his girl come on the first go around”
you smile at how conscious he is of your pleasure
“it might take me a little while…”
“don’t care. we have all fucking night” 
he keeps trusting shallowly inside of you, only pulling a couple inches out of you before slamming his hips back into you
and he’s just whining the entire time because he’s so fucking sensitive but he wants to make you feel good
you bring a hand down to your clit to help speed up the process
and when eddie realizes what you’re doing, he shoves your hand out of the way and replaces it with his own
your pussy grips him unbelievably tight when you come, fluttering and gushing against him
he’s nothing but a shuddering and sobbing mess on top of you
you hold his fucked out face in your hands after
and kiss away the stray tears streaming down his cheeks <3

Heavy boots sunk into the mud, and loud voices called out to the dark forests. The sounds of horses neighing, catching up against his hunched-over form. He ran as fast as he could, dodging the trees and branches, boots snapping the sticks and stones within the wet ground. Hand clutching the bleeding wound, he glanced around, looking for something, anything to get him out of this situation. His partners were long gone, taken into arrest by the law. They told him to run, to get out while they distracted them. 
He tried his best to blink away the tears, the sudden burn possibly due to them being mixed with the sweat dripping down his face. He’ll get the rest of them out, he resolved, he first has to survive this. Glancing up and around, a large shadow was right up ahead. Squinting, the blur came into focus, before revealing a small home. It was well kept, but all the lights were out, which was all Reiner needed. He jumped the fence, flinching at the sudden stab of pain in his abdomen. He limped towards the back door, pulling out his old trust lock pick before jimmying with the lock. He hissed out a yes as the door creaked open, before hobbling right inside. Gasping, he leaned against the door, hearing the sounds of the law running by. 
“What the…”
A voice called out, before suddenly, a dark glow illuminated the room, revealing a decently sized kitchen. A gasp rang out, as Reiner looked to the light, seeing someone standing there. 
Fuck…
He pushed himself up to his feet, immediately running over to you, who immediately screamed before running away, possibly to your bedroom. Despite his injury, he had just enough adrenaline to catch you, pulling your arm back. He muffled your screams with his hand, wrapping you in one big hold as he dragged you away from the hall, before taking you right back to the kitchen. He could hear your muffled whimpers against him, the feeling of your body shaking against him. 
He pressed his lips against your ears, “just stay quiet for me darling, and all will be right.” 
Reiner pressed himself against the counter, waiting for the sounds to go away. As he did so, he could hear your own sounds beginning to quest, however, the feeling of wet salty tears began to soak his hand. Just as they were beginning to go away, a sudden loud knock came out the door, jilting the both of you. 
“Y/n, it’s Erwin, are you awake?!”
Reiner cursed under his breath, heart pounding away at his chest. He stepped away from the counter before looking at the door, seeing a tall figure standing right at the door. He then looked back down at you, before telling you not to scream. Slowly he let go of your mouth, removing his hand from you before grabbing the top of your dress, wiping away the slowly drying tears on your face. 
“You gon answer that there door, and pretend like I’m not here. Say whatever you gotta say, alright…?”
You nodded your head quickly, and he nodded his own, before taking you by the hand and draggin you over to the door. He stood at the side, one hand still pressing against the wound while the other, pulling out his revolver, holding it up. You glanced over at him, seeing him nod his head. Taking a deep breath, you reach over, unlocking the door with the key still stuck on the knob before opening it up just a little bit, enough to see the sheriff of your town. Erwin Smith, a man both you and many people in this town respected. He was very close to your family, especially your grandmother, having helped her many times while she was still alive. So seeing him and talking to him was an easy occurrence for you.
“Hello there Erwin,” you let off a smile, hoping it wasn't wavering too much.
He let off his own warm smile, “hey there cherie, hope everything’s okay?”
You nodded your head, “everything’s fine, was just about to head to sleep when you knocked.”
For kickers, you looked behind him, seeing a bunch of horses and men standing on the front of your lawn, “what’s going on here?”
He looked back to see the people before looking back at you, “well we were trying to catch someone, and he ran right through here. I was hoping you saw something?”
You pondered a bit, before shaking your head, “haven’t seen a thing sheriff, sorry. Everything was dark for me.”
He hummed, before reaching down, pulling out a sheet of paper, “if you're so sure, take this. His name Reiner Braun, a dangerous felon known for robbin’ and shootin’ people.”
You slowly took the folded sheet, before peeling it open, those familiar eyes brown malice staring right back at you. 
You looked up at Sheriff Smith’s warmer ones, smiling, telling him you’ll keep on the lookout for him. He nodded, before turning around, and heading back to his own horse. As you waited to watch him go, you could hear a sudden thump right beside you. Closing your door, you glanced over to the right only to find the very man now slumped on the floor. The hand that was holding his side was now soaked with blood, the sounds of his slow, heavy breaths echoing in the living room. You glanced over at the door, at the muffled sounds of the sheriff telling his men to move out and continue looking before looking back at Reiner.
Letting out a defeated sigh, you walked away heading towards your kitchen before going to your sink and picking up an old tattered rag. Dampening the rag, before grabbing a bucket, and filling it up with hot water. Before walking back to the dangerous criminal, you bent down, grabbing the small bucket your grandmother deemed an aid kit, along with the bucket of hot water. Walking back to your living room, where Reiner Baun, which was apparently his name, was now writhing and bleeding out on your grandmother’s hardwood floors. Bending down, sitting at your knees, you grabbed the dirtied dress shirt he was wearing before slowly unbuttoning it. His large body dripping with sweat, you removed the shirt as much as you could, revealing the irritated wound. 
You took the rag, leaning down before removing his bloodied hand from the lasting wound. Slowly, you pressed it against it, applying as much pressure as you could. He fought against you, but his strength greatly dropped, allowing you to continue to press against it. He let out deep heavy groans, all dripping with pain. Soon, the tattered rag was soaked with blood, removing it before dipping it in the hot water, washing off most of the blood before pressing right back on. Soon, the wound stopped bleeding, just enough for you to get the gauze and the large sheets of cotton to wrap it. 
Once you did so, staring down at your shotty work of a doctor, Reiner’s own eyes slowly opened, looking over at you. 
“Should have let me bleed out on your floor,” he let out a low raspy groan, still in pain.
You scoffed at that, “and let you ruin my grandmother’s floors? She’ll rise up from her grave to scold me with a hot comb.”
He let out some formance of a chuckle, smiling a bit. Taking a deep breath, you stood up before heading down your hallway Stopping at the small closet, you owned it before taking the few spare pillows and blankets out. Walking back, you found the area where you left him empty before seeing him rest right on your couch. Pursing your lips together, you walked over to him, before handing him the blankets. 
“Here, sleep as much as you can, then I want you out of my house, all right now?”
He blinked at you, smirking before taking the sheets and pillows from your hands. 
“Thank you mighty kindly, cherie,” he cooed, placing the blankets on the couch beside him. 
You hummed, before glancing back at your kitchen. He’ll probably need something to eat so he can heal faster… is what you thought to yourself before walking towards the kitchen. He said nothing, only turning his body as much as he could, watching you walk away. His eyes lingered on your backside, before looking away, focusing on his accommodations for the night. 
Pulling out some bread, some meat, and other things from your ice box, you made him a couple of sandwiches. You took it to him as well, seeing him all laid out and spread out on your couch. Tongue poking out your cheek, you handed him the plate. 
“Just for you to heal faster, body can’t work without something to fuel it,” you said, turning around once he took it. 
He said nothing, although his smirk said all his words for him. You took the lamp that illuminates the kitchen, before walking away. Just before you walked inside your bedroom, his voice called out to you, 
“Good night, cherie!”
You turned your head and glared at him for a few seconds before walking back into your room. He let out a chuckle, before taking the sandwich, taking a large bite from it. 
Slowly opening your eyes, the feeling of sunlight beaming through the trees and through your window jolting you awake. Lifting yourself up, stretching with a smile on your face as you look around your room, ready to clean yourself up and head into town for work.
Three… two… one…
A frown immediately overtook your face, oh wait…
Pushing yourself off your bed, and grabbing your robe off of the bed frame, you flung your door open. Slowly stepping into the room, carefully listening for anything that didn't sound like your creaky footsteps. As you reached the living room, no sign of the man from last night on your couch. Glancing around, not seeing him in your kitchen or hearing him in your parlor room either. Nothing was missing either, luckily. Least he had that courtesy, you thought to yourself. 
That’s when your eyes caught onto something sitting on your kitchen counter. Walking towards it, eyes widening as your eyes locked into two stacks of cash sitting one by one, a piece of paper sitting under it. 
Picking up the paper, you gazed over it, 
For all your troubles cherie, now and in the immediate future, 
⸺ r.b
You couldn’t fight off the excited smile, as you picked up one of the stacks, sniffing it before squealing. 
“Oooh, my mother would tell me to return it… too bad that bitch wasn’t the one who raised me!” 
You placed the money in a hidden area in your room, before getting ready for work, which was at a bar in town, the only one within the area you lived in. The town was large, a farmer’s town with miles and miles of land tended by a multitude of farmers all around. It would probably be called a city to others, but you weren’t like them city folk. Wearing a creme dress, shoulderless with loose, wave-like sleeves. You paired with skin-colored pantyhose while placing your work shoes in a bag. You put on your walking shoes and grabbed your keys and other things you need before heading off, locking up the entire house, especially your back door. You walked through the pathways in the forest, glancing at all the heavy footsteps and horseshoe grooves within the damp ground. 
You soon made it to town after fifteen minutes of walking, waving at the locals around town before making it to your destination. Despite it being early in the morning, the bar was bussing with all different walks of life. Smiling at the bands of men calling out your name, waving at them before arriving at the bar. You shuffled into the bar, waving at your friend, who was serving three people at once. She owned the bar, inheriting it from her deadbeat of a father. The two of you had been friends for a long time, ever since your mother had sent you here when she moved to the “sophisticated” parts of town. 
“Hurry up and get up here! There’s orders to be taken, you know!” She said, giving one man his tall glass of beer. 
You headed to the back room, placing your bag down, before switching into your taller heels, with cotton-padded into them for a bit more comfort. You’ll be on your feet all day. Looking in the mirror, swiping your lips with gloss before placing your long plaits into two pigtails, tying them with matching creme bows before walking out. As you walked out, you grabbed an apron, tying it around your waist as you took your station around the bar. 
Your friend sighed in relief as you helped her out, taking the few plates in her hands before asking which table they went to. 
“The Garrison boys over there in the back, and there should be a few more coming out.”
Nodding your head, you took them down, plastering a smile on your face as you approached their table.
The morning continued like that and continued well into the afternoon as well. Your job was a rush, but the pay was very good and included a mountain of tips as well. As night approached, things slowed down just about as all the men soon had to return to their wives or head down to the secret club behind the old platoon which their wives didn’t know about. The door chimed open, glancing up and only for Sheriff Smith along with a few of his men standing right there. 
Glancing over, you see your friend tidying herself up, pulling her long locs out of her deflated ponytail, and letting them fall. Smirking at her, with her not even looking at and flipping the bird before carefully walking over to the area they had overtaken. As she spoke, having a shimmering smile while she looked down at Erwin who sent her his own award-winning smile right back. You looked back down at your work, which was wiping down the counter and preparing for you to head back home. Your shift was over soon since your coworkers didn’t like you walking back while the moon was too high at night. 
They had once asked you to consider actually moving into town, but you wouldn't have it. This was the home you were raised in, the home your grandmother had raised your own mother in. 
“Cherie, wait a moment,” Erwin’s familiar voice called out to you, just as you put the rag away, preparing to head to the back room to get your things. 
You turned around, seeing the tall man tower over you. You don’t know why, but your heart began to slightly pound. 
“Can I help you, sheriff? This ain’t about last night, isn’t it?”
He grimaced a bit, “m’fraid it is, lemme walk with you to the back?”
You glanced over at your friend, who looked between the two of you, shrugging her shoulders and nodding her head before focusing back on the others in the bar. The two of you walked together down the small hallway before reaching the small room where all the workers had placed their own things. He opened the door for you, thanking him as you walked inside the room. As you found your things, Sheriff Smith began to speak. 
“As you know, last night, we were chasing a very dangerous criminal, who had reached the forest where you live.”
You nodded your head, “yes, and you knocked on my door and you asked me if I had seen anything, and I told you that I had not.”
He nodded his head, “yes, yes you did. We continued to look through the forest, but he was gone. Like he disappeared within the wind, cherie…”
You nodded your head, “yes… is there something else you wanna say, Erwin?”
“This morning my men conducted another search, to make sure we didn't miss anything, and we found heavy footsteps… leading away from your home.”
Your heart dropped to your knees, lucky your back was still turned away from the sheriff so you turned to pack your things, flinging off your shoes as you pretended nothing was wrong. 
“Heavy footsteps, leading away from my home… is there something you wanna say, sheriff?”
Heavy boots walked closer and closer to you, as you turned around and faced him, face calmer. 
“I just wanna know the truth, cherie, you know you and I go way back. Your own grandmother helped raise me after my father died. You're like a niece to me, and I hate to see you in some trouble.”
You took a deep breath trying to calm your beating heart, however before you could say anything, the door suddenly slammed open, revealing an out-of-breath officer. 
“Sheriff, the other two thieves escaped their cell!”
The tall man cursed, hissing under his breath before running out of the room, not even glancing back at you. Once he was gone, hearing the muffled sounds of the rest of his men following suit after him, you let out a breath of relief. You soon walked out of the room, grabbing a box of food from one of the chefs for dinner. You waved goodbye to your boss, before walking out of the bar, the cooler air of the night hitting you. It was still hot, so there was no need for a jacket as you walked away, heading towards the forest into your home. The walk to your home was quicker than the walk to the bar, soon arriving at your home. As you began to pull out your keys, you could hear muffled sounds inside the home.
No…
Inserting the key, you flung your door open, seeing three figures lounge around on your grandmother’s couch. 
Locking eyes with familiar hazels, seeing him smirk before lifting up his glass, holding a beer, “hey there, cherie.”
You could almost scream. Instead, you stepped inside your home, closing the door before dropping the bag right onto the floor. You glanced around the room, seeing your table and floors all messed up and dirt tracked all over your floors, and you could almost guarantee that your icebox was nearly empty. You stepped over the trash, ignoring the two unfamiliar pairs of eyes watching as you approached the larger blonde man. 
You stared down at him, with him looking you in the eyes. Unbreaking your stare, you pressed your hands roughly against the side of his waist, right where the wound you wrapped was. He cursed, screaming as you did so. 
“Yeah, that’'s what you get, now y’all better clean this fucking house or else!”
The two others with him snickered at Reiner, seeing him being kicked around by you. Hearing their laughter, you turned towards them, eyes sharp in glares. 
“Don’t think I ain’t forget yall yet, yall get up too and clean this fucking house! Or else, I’m getting Erwin down here!”
Immediately the two of them shot up, one of them towering over you all like a giant. You pushed them all around, making sure they picked up all the trash and scraps they had put on your floor. You rested on your couch, entertaining yourself while you ate your food, still hot luckily. They were kind enough to chop up some wood for your fireplace, enjoying the warmth as they picked up the last of their mess. Once they were finished, the two unknowns had plopped down onto the couch, while Reiner made himself comfortable right beside you. He leaned down, mouth wide open, trying to get a bite of your food, but you pushed him away, grimacing as he laughed out loud. 
“Think you can fuck up my house, and eat my food, you have another thing coming,” you mumbled, eating the bit on the spoon. 
“Aww come on cherie,” he mumbled, landing his head on your shoulder, “i'm still hungry!”
You rolled your eyes, “go and find something else to eat, maybe in prison, where you all belong.”
He smirked, “and yet, you still hadn’t turned us in, cherie. Plus, I paid you kindly for your services, thinking that “immediate future” was a joke huh?”
You rolled your eyes again, scoping up the last bite, before hovering the spoon in front of his face. He glanced in between the spoon and your face, before eating it, humming as he did.
“Thank you kindly, cherie.”
Ignoring the warm feeling his raspy voice gave you, as well as the looks the two others gave each other before glancing back at the two of you. 
“How long you are staying here, Reiner, along with your two little friends, because Sheriff Smith is sniffing around me,” you gasped slightly before extending your hand, smacking him in the head again.
“Hey!”
“Be careful where you stepping when you leave next time, cause they was sniffing around and saw your fucking footsteps!”
He suddenly smirked, “‘next time?’ huh?”
You narrowed your eyes at him, before raising your hand at him again. He immediately held his hands up and surrendered, scooting a bit away from you. Annie and Bertholdt snickered, looking at the two of you. Getting up, walk towards your kitchen to put away your bowl. Reiner followed after you, a teasing smile on his face. Cleaning off the bowl, drying it, and putting it away, feeling him stand dangerously close behind you. Drying your bowl before pushing past him, heading towards your living room. 
“So I’m assuming you're staying the night once again?”
Reiner nodded his head, leaning against the wall, “hope you're alright with that, cherie.”
You narrowed your eyes at that, “didn’t I tell you to stop calling me that?”
He shrugged his shoulders, tucking his hands into his pockets. You glanced over at the three of them, before rolling your eyes.
“I’m gonna take a bath, y’all better figure out how y’all gonna sleep.”
You sat amid your room, ignoring the sounds of the felons taking shelter within your home. Sitting at the vanity table your grandmother had the in-town carpenters built for you when you turned fifteen. You looked over at the set of picture frames, mostly filled with photos of you and her, one with Erwin as well. Picking up one of the picture frames, the last birthday you were able to celebrate with her before she passed. 
“Is that your grandmother?”
Screaming, jerking up, knees hitting the table, as you turned, seeing blonde hair in your peripheral.
“God, don’t do that!”
He stood straight up, watching you as you turned around in your seat, still holding the frame. 
“And to answer your question, yes, yes it is.”
He held out his hand, and tentatively, after glancing between his face and his hand, placed the frame in his hands. He looked down at it, smiling a bit at your wide smile, arms wrapped in the smaller frame of your grandmother. 
“The two of you look alike,” he says, handing you the frame.
Your mouth curls up into a slight smile, and you place the frame back on your vanity, “everyone used to say that about us, and that used to include my mother as well.”
His eyebrows quivered at that, “your mother? Is she still alive?”
You scoffed, rolling your eyes, “yep, sipping on fancy margaritas and livin it up in the big city with her rich old-ass husband.”
“Forgot she had her own mother and a daughter too, didn’t even come for the funeral, even after me and Erwin sent letters.”
He hummed, “Sheriff Smith?”
You nodded your head, “after his own daddy died, my grandmother watched after him. My mom and he were sweethearts once, but she decided this lil ole town was too small for her but taking care of her daughter was too big for her.”
“What about your father?”
You shrugged your shoulders, “never met the man, grandma always told me she’d wring him by his neck if she ever saw him again. Says he’s the reason my mother took off to the city and never looked back, but I think she was putting blame on anyone but her.”
Facing the mirror, the lamp illuminated the side of your face. You could see Reiner still standing behind you, his face cut off from the mirror. Crossing your legs, feeling a slow, churning throb in between your legs. 
“I like to think she would have helped you when you first arrived at my door, despite threatening me with a gun. She always had a knack for getting in trouble, and helping people who didn’t deserve to be helped.”
You could feel his hands beginning to rest on your shoulders, his actions not stopping your spiel. 
“Which is why, had my mother come through that door when she was still alive, she would have taken her back in on the spot.”
He hummed, leaning down towards you, seeing a few of your tears rolling down your cheeks. His face lingers over your shoulder, looking over at you. You glanced over, looking at him straight in his eyes.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to rant about my life, you’re still a stranger technically.”
You began to move away, but his hands tensed, keeping you right in your seat. His left hand moved from your shoulder, sliding across your chest, reaching up to your neck. Letting out a shaky breath, shivering as he moved your head back towards him. 
“Don’t gotta apologize, cherie,” he mumbled, thumb stroking your cheek.
Your body turned as well, your leg swinging over the bench as you faced him fully. Your body, responding to some unknown force, leaned forward towards him as he leaned closer to yours. 
“Reiner,” you gasped, right before he rushed forward, lips capturing yours.
The kiss was deep, and heavy, as his hand stayed tight at your neck, his other, sliding down your body. He grabbed at you, pulling you right into his lap. Your moan was muffled by the kiss, your hips slowly grinding into him. His hand soon left your won, settling right on the other side of the bottom before effectively picking you up. Unremitting as he approached your bed, placing you right on it. For a moment, he let go of the kiss, reaching down and unbuttoning his shirt, before pulling it off his body. As he threw his shirt onto your hard-wooden floors, your own hands reached up to his buckle belt, feeling his erection press up against his jeans. Reiner smirked down at you as you unbuckled, sudden haste pushing you. Getting the tough fabric off, Reiner did the rest, leaving him in nothing but his boxers. 
He soon leaned back down, climbing in between your legs before capturing your lips into his once again. Your hands slid up to his face, the feeling of his scruff against your hands and face. His hands slowly slid up your thighs, going right under your nightdress, gripping at your waist, pressing further into you. You could feel him pressing into you, the feeling intensified by the pressure he placed on your waist, easily keeping you grounded against him. His hands soon left your own, one pressing against the back for your thigh, pressing it as far as it goes. The other moved down your dripping wet pussy, two large fingers easily spreading your lips with ease. Gasping for breath, immediately choked on a moan as he pressed one finger, entering slowly within you. He moved from your mouth to your neck, as he moved his fingers in and out of you slowly. His lips were still wet, allowing him to leave soaked kisses against your skin. 
“Reiner,” you gasped, fingers weaving into his hair, messing up the blond strands. 
Back arching as his pace quickened, the lower half of your body trembling under him as you pulled harder against him. He whimpered against your skin, the feeling of you pulling his hair eliciting a deep feral feeling within him. Everywhere was heated, the air, your skin, your thin nightdress bunched up at your waist. Drool dripped from your tongue as you took everything he gave you, everything and more. 
“Lord,” you sighed, body aching all over, “I really shouldn’t be doing this, lord.”
Reiner chuckled, “I can go ahead and stop, if you need me to?”
You twisted your hand in his hair, “you bet not.”
He said nothing, chuckling one more time, but his kisses continued, trailing down to your chest, dipping into the valley between your chest. At the same time, he pressed another finger into you, your arousal coating his fingers. Your slip dress had long fallen off your shoulders, allowing him to reach them with ease. His journey continued down lower and lower, his hand still lingering on your thigh sliding down. The two of you hadn’t noticed the lantern dimming in the background, as the room was soon engulfed with darkness, nothing but the high moon shining over the two of you. Shuddering, twisting against your blankets as he plunged his fingers deep inside you, resting his head against your stomach. 
“Damn, didn’t think you’d be good at this, fuck…” you sighed, as your hips surged up into the air. 
“...that a challenge, cherie?”
Despite the immense arousal and pleasure flowing through your veins, you smirked down at him, “take it as you want, cherie.”
His eyes darkened, his unrefined look getting more and more feral. Reiner suddenly pulled his fingers out of you, taking a quick sniff before placing them in his mouth, tasting your arousal. Suddenly, he rose up, towering over you, before grabbing both of your legs. Squealing as he pulled you up from the bed, easily carrying you into the air. His hands grasping at your ass as he held you up, holding you up in the air. Your hands couldn't help but wrap around his shoulders, looking down into his eyes. 
“Reiner, what are you doing—” you started before being cut off by a loud gasp escaping your lips. 
You hadn't noticed him shifting his boxers, before feeling him sink into you deeply. Your sounds hadn’t deterred him though, his tight grasp on you as he moved you up and down his cock. The sounds of your moans echoing through the mid-sized room, the feeling of your tight wetness, only urged him more, deep, raspy moans spilling from his own mouth. His fat cock stretched out in ways others hadn't yet before, muddling your mind as he moved in and out of you. His brute strength allowed him to pull you nearly off him with ease, before plunging right back into you. His hips slamming into you, the possibility of leaving deep dark gnarly purple bruises all over your inner thighs. 
“Sosososo good, sos deep, oh my god!” Your mouth slurred on their words, head thrown back in euphoria. 
“What was that you were saying before?” he suddenly questioned, pulling almost completely out of you, leaving only the tip. 
Gasping, whining at the sudden prolonged loss of him. Your whines and squirms did nothing for him, only smirking up at you as he awaited your answer. His hands fondled you, squeezing your bottom rigidly.
“Tell me how good you feel, and maybe I’ll continue.”
Convulsing, aching for him to continue, your resolve fully crumbling. Reaching out towards him, your shaking arms attempt to pull him towards you. 
Your mouth spelling with pleas, “please please don’t stop, god I take back what I said. Keep fucking me just like that.”
He took in your words, his smirk getting wider and wider as you twisted, tears threatening to fall down your face. With no other words, he slammed back into you and continued pummeling you as if nothing happened. You clung onto him, and your head was thrown back as he did so. Reiners's efforts and actions electrified you, feeling your body jerk, a familiar pounding feeling building up within you. 
You let out a gasp, before letting out, “Oh god!” hissing as you came, clear liquid spilling out of you. 
Your cunt clenched around him, causing him to groan deeply, grounding his face into your shoulders as his thrust became erratic. His unsteady movements caused you to choke, his heavy breath rumbling right into your ear. 
“So good, fuckfuck,” he growled, slamming into you a few more times before letting off one final groan. 
Letting out a shaky moan, feeling him suddenly pull out of you, feeling his release land right on your stomach and thighs. Breathing heavily, legs shaking as he slowly lowered you onto the bed. Reaching over, grabbing his shirt that had landed right on your bedpost, using it to wipe away the mess. 
“Can’t have you getting pregnant now?” Is all he said, wiping away his mouth. 
You rolled your eyes, smacking him on the head as he threw his shirt back onto the floor. Just as you began to cover yourself up in your sheets, you felt movement beside you. Looking back, seeing Reiner getting into the bed with you. 
“Aht! What the hell you doing?! If you don’t get out?!”
“Aww, come on cherie, don’t make me sleep out here on that little couch. Nearly broke my back the last time I slept there. Plus,” he added, gesturing down to his wound, “I’m still wounded.”
You narrow your eyes, “didn’t seem like you were injured just a few minutes ago.” He still didn't budge, causing you to roll your eyes at that, “fine, but you better make some damn breakfast before you fucking leave.” 
He smirked, agreeing to your demands before continuing to pull the blankets up and around the both of you.You turned back over, snuggling into the bed, feeling Reiner’s weight shifting beside you. His eyes burned into the back of your head for a few seconds, before suddenly feeling an arm sling over your body. You rolled your eyes but suppressed the smile appearing on your face before snuggling yourself into his warm embrace

love love loooveee your writing, please never stop, its one of the few things keeping me sane rn 🧡🧡🧡
Barrier Kisses - Josh Dun x Reader
Warnings: Nothing hehe
Word Count: 1087
A/N: RAHH LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Hello soupiiiie!! Thank you for requesting something! I'm so glad you're enjoying my writing. It's kinda hard to keep it up considering how my requests have been fewer and fewer but I'm trying :) Please request another piece!!
Tumblr media
The energy in the arena was nothing short of magical. I could feel it in my chest, the heavy thrum of bass and the sea of voices singing along with Tyler as the show reached its halfway point. The Clancy Tour was in full swing, and the fans were louder than ever — their excitement so infectious, I found myself smiling without even realizing it.
I stood tucked off to the side of the stage, close enough to watch Josh's every move but far enough to stay out of the spotlight. Tyler was on the main stage, delivering one of his iconic speeches, hyping the crowd up before Routines in the Night. Meanwhile, Josh was preparing for his run to the B-stage, ready for the song to start while Tyler stood under the stage with Mark.
I couldn’t help but feel a little thrill every time I saw Josh on stage, the way his presence just filled the entire arena. It wasn’t just the drumming, though that was always mesmerizing — it was the way he connected with the fans, like each beat he hit meant something to them. And to me.
Lost in the moment, I barely noticed the small group of fans standing near the barrier who had spotted me. I wasn’t exactly trying to keep a low profile, but I didn’t expect them to recognize me. Their eyes went wide, and then one of the girls waved me over, excitement practically bursting from her.
“Are you Josh’s girlfriend?” she asked, voice high-pitched with nerves but sweet as ever.
I felt my face flush, but I smiled. “Yeah, I am.”
Immediately, phones were pulled out and I laughed softly, shaking my head. I wasn’t exactly used to the attention, but it was kind of cute how excited they were. They asked for a few pictures, and I couldn’t say no. The girls were so kind, gushing about how much they loved Josh, and it made me proud to know that he had fans like them.
“Can we get a picture with you?” another girl asked.
“Of course!” I agreed, stepping over closer to the barrier and posing with them.
We chatted a bit about the tour, their favorite songs, and how long they’d been following the band. I could tell how much the show meant to them, and it made my heart swell knowing Josh and Tyler could bring that kind of joy into people’s lives.
“Do you think we could get a picture of you and Josh?” one of them asked with wide, hopeful eyes.
I laughed, feeling my face heat up again. “I think he’s a little busy for that right now,” I said, glancing back toward the stage where Tyler was winding down his speech. Josh was waiting in the wings, just a few feet away, already prepared to make his sprint toward the B-stage.
Right on cue, the lights shifted, casting everything in deep reds and golds, the perfect backdrop for his run. I turned to see Josh glance over at me, that unmistakable smile on his face. My heart skipped a beat. It always did when he looked at me like that — like I was the only person in the room.
And then, without warning, he started jogging over.  The fans around us squealed in surprise, and my eyes widened as he came closer.
He didn’t stop running, just slowed enough to lean in and press a quick kiss to my lips. It was so fast but so sweet, leaving me blushing as the fans around us erupted into excited cheers.
The sound of phones clicking and capturing the moment filled the air, and I was half-laughing, half-shocked by how casual Josh had made it all seem. He just flashed me another grin and took off again, heading toward the B-stage to continue the show as if nothing had happened.
My heart raced as I turned back toward the fans, who were all wide-eyed and giggling, holding up their phones like trophies.
“Did you see that?” one of them gasped. “That was so cute!”
I just laughed, feeling giddy myself. “Yeah, he's… kind of perfect, huh?”
The rest of the concert felt like a blur. Every time Josh’s drum beats echoed through the arena, I could feel the memory of that quick kiss lingering in my mind. And from the way the fans nearby kept sneaking glances at me, I knew they'd be talking about it for weeks.
After the show, the backstage area was quieter, though still buzzing with the after-show energy that always seemed to linger. I made my way through the halls, weaving past crew members and friends until I found Josh in the green room, towel around his neck, sweat still glistening on his skin from the performance. Tyler was with him, lounging on the couch, scrolling through his phone.
“There she is!” Josh beamed, pushing off the arm of the couch to meet me halfway. He pulled me into a warm, post-show hug, the kind that always made me feel like home.
“You really kissed me in front of everyone?” I teased, poking him in the chest as I looked up at him, but I couldn’t hide the smile on my face.
Josh chuckled, his hand coming up to brush a stray hair from my face. “Couldn’t help it,” he said, eyes soft. “I saw you there, and I just… had to.”
Tyler snorted from the couch. “Real smooth, Josh.”
Josh rolled his eyes, still grinning. “You’re just jealous because Jenna’s not here tonight.”
Tyler held up his hands in mock defense. “Hey, I’m just saying — it was pretty bold, man. Risky move, but I respect it.”
I laughed, leaning into Josh’s side, his arm wrapping around me protectively. “Well, the fans loved it,” I said, thinking back to all the excited faces and cameras. “They were snapping pictures like crazy.”
Josh leaned down and kissed the top of my head, softer this time, a little more private. “Good,” he murmured. “Maybe I’ll make it a habit.”
Tyler groaned dramatically. “Please, spare us.”
Josh just grinned wider, pulling me closer as we all sank into the easy, comfortable feeling that came after a successful show. It was moments like this — the quiet in the storm, the laughter and love we shared — that made everything worth it.
And as I rested my head against Josh’s shoulder, I couldn’t help but think that this life, this wild, crazy life with him, was more than I could’ve ever dreamed of.

here me out.. so like i was scrolling a pinterest and i found this one song on spotify called “cigarettes out the window x dangerously yours” and the first thing i thought about is neuvillette!! LIKE THE BRAINROTS IN MY HEAD RN. reader and him are in his office 😱
OH OH OH OH OH OKAY HOLD ON HOL D ONNNN 👀👀👀👀 The way i opened YT so fast!??! HASKJDNA but my GOD do i see what u mean anon—
Tumblr media
I'm getting vibes of reader who is, perhaps, from the fatui? or from some other hostile organization (idk im workign on it 💔) and they get assigned to be a double agent at the Palais Mermonia and acquire sensitive information for the organization they work for. Initially, they weren't supposed to do anything complicated— they certainly weren't even supposed to ever cross paths with the chief justice of Fontaine. But what do you know, Neuvillette falls for you first and invites you out to a meal, and you can't necessarily refuse.
Your superiors are delighted by the change in plans— if you get closer to the chief justice, you could easily get your hands on all sorts of information! So, although you're hesitant, you're forced to go along with getting closer to Neuvillette. But over time, you find that he's much, much more than most people think he is. He's more caring and gentle that most realize, and he's so sweet. Gods, he is so sweet. The way he cares for every single melusine is adorable. The way he enthusiastically encourages you to try water that he imported from gods-knows-where, just because he says that it taste fresh and clear like no other. And the way his eyes shine when you take a sip and tell him that he's right, that it's sp distinct, and he smiles, and you don't have the heart to tell him that in truth, it just tastes like water to you.
Before you know it, you're actually falling for Neuvillette. Not for the mission, not for the files. You're genuinely becoming head over heels for him. You can't tell your superiors this— you know you'd be pulled out and disposed of immediately now that you're compromised, but you can't go along with deceiving Neuvillette anymore. But if you tell him... no doubt he'd turn you away, like the double-crosser you are.
But you still find yourself in front of his office anyway, a heavy hand and a heavier heart knocking on his doors.
"Come in," he says.
And it's hard. Gods, it's so hard to come clean to him. You stutter and you just can't seem to spit out the words, so Neuvillette decides to talk first. He pulls something out of a drawer and sets it on his desk, opening its contents for you to see. And you gasp, because these are the files that you had been told were the highest priority. If you ever got your hands on them, you were to risk your life to get them back to your organization.
"Why are you showing me this?" You ask him, voice quiet, brow furrowed. Your hand reaches out to touch the papers, but you hesitate. Neuvillette just watches you, smiling mysteriously.
"Because you have my wholehearted trust," is all he says, and it's enough to break you.
The tears come flowing faster than you can help them. There's a lump in your throat, making it hard to breathe. Even as you splutter out the words, the confessions to why you're here, why you got close to him, and everything else in between, Neuvillette listens patiently. He doesn't yell, doesn't glare or curse you out. He doesn't shout for guards to come and toss you into the darkest pits of Meropide. Instead, he's calm.
"I know," he says as a means of explanation, and you still. His hand reaches across the desk, holding yours gently. "Since the very first day we met, when you stood beside me drenched in rain on the balcony, I've known. And my heart is yours anyway."
You shake your head, still crying quietly. "I will betray you. If not, I will be killed."
Neuvillette's hand squeezes yours. "Do you think so little of me that I would allow any harm to befall you, my love?"
"I think the world of you," you argue, and he smiles.
"There is no safer place for you than by my side. Should there be any threat to your life, I would use every ounce of my power to dispose of it, " Neuvillette vows. "Your organization has made a great many mistakes, but the greatest of them all has been sending you to me, and expecting me to ever let harm befall you."

In those two weeks, since you'd agreed to let Mr Jeon Wonwoo financially take care of you, you'd learned three things about him.
One - He'd gushed about every cat picture or meme you'd sent to him, commenting on the pretty fur or the shape of their triangle ears. During one phone call, you even got him to meow for you. You'd laughed almost a solid minute at the sound of his dark voice, clearly enunciating a very lifelike "meow". If only you had thought of recording it.
Two - He loved to read. You weren't really sure about which books were to his liking but everytime you'd mentioned an author you'd liked, he'd tell you he was either familiar with their work or had read their work as well. It was difficult, to say the least, not to feel intimidated by his intellect, though you didn't mind as much once you'd realized that, even though he already knew so many literary works, he still listened quite intently to your opinions on them.
And three - He asked a lot of questions.
It was almost embarrassing, in hindsight. How much you were willing to tell him, about your upbringing, weird food habits you'd developed as a child, about the time Mingyu and you got food poisoning from your favourite fast food place, back in college. It felt easy to confide in him. Your own personal confession booth. Wonwoo was a good listener and despite leaving snarky comments here and there - there was understanding laced in his every word, making it hard not to fall deeper into conversation with him. Maybe, just maybe, it had helped that all of these talks happened, while you were on the phone with him, either on your way from work or tucked in bed.
"It's probably bad timing", he had sighed, "but I'll have to leave the country for a week. It's purely out of formality, although necessary. Or so I've been told, at least."
His explanation had seemed sincere enough, a tired smile playing on the edge of his lips, yet you couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment from you. Selfish desires be damned, you actually hoped to spend time with the man who'd provide you with money for whatever reason. It still felt somewhat strange to you, no matter how rational he had been while explaining his intentions with you, the skeptic in you was hard to please.
You'd only shaken your head in response, your "No, it's fine! I hope you'll still manage to have fun", sounded insincere even to your own ears, though Wonwoo had enough courtesy not to mention it.
You hadn't quite expected him to still try to stay in touch, thinking his hectic schedule would suffice in keep him busy. But apparently, Wonwoo had a tendency to defy your expectations about him. His first text had comee as a surprise to you, your eyes almost bulging out of their socksts, as you sat slumped and exhausted in the driver's seat of your car. Work had been the usual hell, customers and colleagues robbing you of every nerve you had left until they left you a complete shell of yourself - Not like you hadn't been used to it.
[Wonwoo J - 17:55] Are you as bored as me?
You had blinked several times, mind feeling a bit too numb, attempting to remember that, yes, this was indeed The Jeon Wonwoo, billionaire, business man, and art snob, texting you oh so casually.
[y/n - 17:56] more like tired rip just got done working
[Wonwoo J - 17:57] Oh? Hope I didn't interrupt anything
[y/n - 18:00] literally sitting in my car rn lmao
[y/n - 18:01] gimme 15 and then i'm free to chat
You remembered rushing home, quick to brush Jeonghan's half hearted greeting off, ready to lock yourself in your bedroom and panic an appropriate amount before calling him back. Though in the end, all panic had ebbed away the second his tired voice muttered your name in greeting, at the other end of the line. And despite your worries, it'd felt so natural to share your day with him - His faint laugh, whenever you'd complain, proving to be your very own remedy against bad moods.
Maybe he'd merely been polite this whole time, your insecurities were quick to point out. A cynical viewpoint for sure, but not unrealistic. Not impossible.
It'd be so easy to drop all caution, to ignore every bad experience and disregard every hurtful comment ever thrown your way by previous romantic partners. It'd be so easy to trust the silly old fashion emojis he sent your way, or the way his laughter grew louder everytime you gasped out in mock offense to any of his jabs. It'd be so easy to let your heart ache at every whispered goodnight you'd mumbled into the speaker of your phone. But easy was naive. You weren't a teenager anymore, you knew better or were supposed to at least.
♡♡♡♡♡♡
"Hmm, Episode IV. Easy question. Obi Wan might be hot but he doesn't beat childhood nostalgia. Next question."
"Obi Wan hot? Questionable. Hey, how come you're not tired yet? I thought you said that your shift was draining 'as fuck'."
"Why do you have to remember everything I tell you, oh my godddd. You know what, I change my mind, guys who only pretend to listen get a bad rep."
"You just don't want me to point out that you should stop rambling about Star Wars and catch some sleep."
"Not my fault that we're not in the same timezone right now, Mister. C'mon, ask me another question."
"Fine... Have you always been this difficult or do I get special treatment from you?"
"... Wonwoo, I hope you know how lucky you are that you're not within fighting distance."
"Aw, I was hoping you'd get so huffy, you'd hang up and finally rest."
"You're mean."
"And yet you're still insisting on talking to me."
"AND a smug bastard."
"Goodnight, y/n. I'm... looking forward to talking to you tomorrow. I'm uh- enjoying our talks."
"Oh. Y- yeah, same. I mean- goodnight to you too."
♡♡♡♡♡♡
Jeonghan's form was draped across the couch, arm covering his eyes to shield him from the intrusive rays of sunshine that dared to tickle his oh so sensitive face. The apartment lay in comfortable silence, a rare occurrence these days but not unwelcome. You aimlessly scrolled through your phone, enjoying the luxury of being lazy on one of your rare off days.
Usually, it wouldn't be you who'd have to suffer because of Hannie's tendency to take up too much space. It'd become quite normal to see his current conquence and him lounging on the couch, limbs, as well as lips, entangled in a disgustingly open display of love. You'd roll your eyes, questioning yourself, if you'd ever been as bad as him, while you were with any of your exes. You shuddered at the mere thought of them. The past was the past for a reason, wasn't it? You should know this by now.
"Wanna watch a movie today?", you asked absentmindedly, eyes still glued to the colorful pictures of your screen - Pinterest truly was a rabbit hole to get lost in.
Your roommate barely reared his head. "Only if i get to pick. Sick of watching Pride and Prejudice over and over with you."
A groan. "Fine... No movie then." Giggles erupted out of you when you felt Jeonghan's foot digging into your side.
"Is your sugar daddy not gonna call you today?" You felt the heat in your face rise at the teasing edge of his voice. "Or are nudes enough to get him to shut up?"
Your head perked up, your tone quiet "Nudes?"
"As in 'sexy pictures to help him beat his meat on his sexy man business trip'?", Jeonghan raised his arm to glance you up and down.
For some reason, it had never even crossed your mind that this very adult man with adult needs would desire - well - adult pictures from you. You were simply too enthralled by the sweet words thrown your way, that the skeptic within your mind forgot to remind you that this was not, in fact, a normal relationship. Money and talent and contracts were involved in this. And while a large part of why Wonwoo felt drawn to you, must have been your potential as an artist, there was very likely sexual interest as well. Embarrassment simmered in the depths of your stomach, groaning into the air. "Oh fuck."
"Wow, you've never even sent him a sexy selfie or something?"
"Well, it never really came up in conversations!", you squeaked, voice too nervous, too shrill to sound rational.
He pushed himself off his cozy, little spot on the edge of the sofa, a grin now evident on his features. "You guys don't flirt?"
"You know what?", you narrowed your eyes at him, shoving his leg away from your side. "Single you fucking sucks! At least your girlfriends all liked it when you were being an absolute dick to them. Now you just kinda- inflict it all upon me. I can't help it that you're bored without a girlfriend!"
The dig didn't seem to affect him much, the sheer Schadenfreude he felt was enough to brush off your insult. How in the living hell did he always have the upper hand in every argument you guys had? Your leading theories were either A) he had enough practice in torturing his little sister and was happy enough to treat you the same way or B) he was one of Lucifer's very own lackeys. Your money was on theory B. One of these days, you'd find the portray he'd sold his soul for in order to stay young and live out his hedonistic lifestyle - Oscar Wilde style.
"I'm sure I'd be way less bored, if we could watch a different movie that doesn't star Keira Knightley's angry pout", Jeonghan huffed, raising his brow - and while you knew, this was a mere attempt to get a rise out of you, you couldn't help but gasp in offense.
"How dare you? She's a delight in-", your phone vibrated in your lap, attention shifting immediately to the notification you'd received. Your anger was put on halt as you noticed, it was indeed Wonwoo, who had texted you, offense melting away in an instance. "A sec", you mumbled.
"Oh, he's got you whipped!", he laughed.
Pressing on the notification, you gave him one last exasperated look, lips pressed into a pout, "Hannie, please."
[Wonwoo J - 14:12] Flying back today. Care to have dinner at my place tomorrow?
"Oh." Your heart felt like a young bird, threatening to escape the cage that was your ribcage, beating so loud, you barely reigstered your own reply. You'd met him before - more than once, even! - why were you so fucking nervous? Was this normal? Oh god. "H- he invited me to his place tomorrow."
"Oh fun, spicy second date then?"
"What?! Oh my god, he wants to fuck me?! I- I haven't even shaved in like a month!" You shot up onto your knees, fingers still firmly grasping your phone as you stared down at your roommate with panic in your eyes. "He wants to fuck me, right? This is what this means! Right? Right?!"
"Holy shit, calm down." The way his tone remained basically unbothered, only added fuel to the whirlwind of thoughts coursing through your brain, a string of whines slipping past your lips.
"What if he wants to fuck?"
"Then he wants to fuck", he shrugged, nonchalant smirk slowly creeping back onto his face. No matter how annoying Hannie could be, his quiet confidence worked wonders on you in times of stress. "You don't have to do anything, geez. If you also wanna smash your bits together, then wear something sexy or something. Didn't your ex get you the tacky lace set for your birthday? If you don't - then don't? He didn't buy you, y/n, you can say 'no', I'm pretty sure he'll live."
This gave you pause. He had a point, a pretty good one even. Nothing explicit had been stated so far, as to what Wonwoo expected from you in your arrangement. There was... an undeniable interest he had you, that much seemed obvious to you - yet the details were fuzzy to you. What was it that had piqued his interest in you? Sure, there was you talent for are - which you'd have to discuss with him again tomorrow evening - but what else was there? A teeny, tiny part of you screamed and begged for it to be romantic interest - though the more rational part within you wasn't quite so sure. He's a man who could have anything and anyone. So why would he require someone like you in his life, if not, for some strange power fantasy that you probably would never really understand.
You let yourself fall back to your previous position, brows still furrowed as you pinched the bridge of your nose in a feeble attempt to calm your approaching headache. The question still stood - Would you want to fuck Wonwoo? All insecurities and feelings of pressure aside, did you want him? He was attractive, that's for sure. There was something special in the way he presented himself, you felt, a bit awkward, a bit stiff, yet still elegant. You liked the way he texted like a man 20 years his senior, liked that he sent you passages of books he'd read, liked his deep laugh. You swallowed.
"Why the fuck do you still remember the lace set Jonah got me?", you grinned, wrinkling your nose at the memory of your ex.
"Because, for some reason, he thought it was necessary to ask me for my opinion. Such a charmer."
You smacked his arm. "And then you guys got me the tacky one? Tsk, you call yourself my friend."
Jeonghan's smirk only deepened. "You mean, you call me your friend. I just kinda let you." Another smack, this time a tad less gentle than the previous one. "Ow- Alright, alright! Put that energy into your hookup."
Moreso a question than a statement, your gaze shifted back to the display of your phone, thumbs hovering over your keyboard. "Shush you", you snickered. "I gotta respond before he thinks I'm blowing him off."
[y/n - 14:27] sounds good xx pick me up from my place?
Wonwoo's reply came in a matter of seconds.
[Wonwoo J - 14:28] Send me your address
[Wonwoo J - 14:28] I'll send my driver to pick you up.
[y/n - 14:30] will do!! have a safe flight!!!
It should be illegal to feel this giddy about dinner plans. Illegal enough for you to be locked up, so you could calmly succumb to your feelings of yearning for a man so incredibly out if your league, it almost hurt. A sigh on your end, "He'll be so disappointed to hear I haven't done any painting while he was gone."
"Eh", Jeonghan chuckled. "I'm sure that won't be the first thing on his mind once he sees you."
♡♡♡♡♡♡
John Everett Millais, you read, tuning out the distinct chatter of your parents' conversing with your father's work colleague. Your seven year old self had been enthralled by the dark hues on the painting you'd noticed above their dinner table. A woman floating in water, hair a soft shade of red, mouth agape, surrounded by water and flowers - you could feel something profound stir inside your gears then. The unknown evoked emotion you had no inkling of yet, though it felt, as if she could pry them out of you just by her presence.
Why was she in the water? You'd wondered to yourself, your dessert that consisted of cheap strawberry ice cream, completey forgotten. And why was she still wearing her dress? Was she a rich lady? A princess maybe? A sad princess who wanted take a bath in a pond? But if she was a princess, then didn't she have a bathtub in her castle?
Maybe the painter, John Something, knew the answer to all the questions that were floating inside your brain, distracting you from the sweet taste on your tongue. Maybe there were secrets only painters knew when they looked upon a scene to capture. You frowned, thinking about your own pictures. While yours gained a lot of praise from your parents, comparing them to the glamour and sadness of Princess in front of you, let a strange sense of disappointment course through your veins.
And you quickly realized - You weren't one to settle for disappointment. There was a drive, inside that bundle of shame you were subjected to. A drive to do better, to improve, to create. A smile crept its way to your lips. Maybe your mother was right to bring you along to the boring business dinner after all.
♡♡♡♡♡♡
You almost jumped at the sound of your phone vibrating with a new notification, nerves already on edge.
[Wonwoo J - 18:02] Should arrive in ca 10 min. I'll see you later.
As soon as you'd received the text, you rushed to the bathroom mirror, reapplying your bold shade of lipstick for the millionth time that evening. Your reflection stared back at you with wide eyes. Would he notice the amount of effort you put into looking effortless?
The drive to Wonwoo's apartment was relatively quiet. His driver had parked directly in front of the entrance to your building, exactly ten minutes after you'd gotten the confirmation, a polite smile graced his lips. It felt a bit too spacious to sit all by yourself in the back, windows tinted black and driver completely silent, focused on the busy road ahead of you. Although, you'd most likely dislike it even more, if he had decided to start a conversation with you - You didn't quite mind, being alone with your thoughts. Fidgeting with the hem of your dress, you listened to the hum of the motor, attempting to drown out the sound of your rapid heartbeat. This would be your second maybe-something-akin-to-a-date... an almost-date. Or did the several phone calls count as something?
"Miss?"
You blinked a few times, turning your head towards the driver, fingers still clutching your dress. "Yes?"
There was a hint of a smile in his tone, as he raised his brows, meeting your eyes through the reer view mirror. "We're here."
"Oh", was your reply, only now realizing how the car had come to a halt, the hum of the engine gone. With heavy legs, you shuffled to open the door. "Thank you so much for picking me up."
He gave you a nod, smile lines appearing around the corners of his eyes. "No problem, Miss. Have a wonderful night."
The calmness of this stranger acted like an antidote to the anxiety poisoning your thoughts, offering a shy smile in return. The kindness stood in stark contrast to the playful harshness your best friend usually soothed you with, though nonetheless effective.
The building was huge, entry halls adorned with minimalistic art, you'd never even seen before. The simplicity of the design, you mused, was too pretentious to admire. The echo of your shoes hitting the marble floor, felt like an intrusion. The gall, the echo sneers at you in your mind, the nerve you must possess daring to trespass. Wealthiness evidently could not buy good taste.
After a dreadfully long elevator ride (and a very awkward coversation with the concierge), you finally find yourself right amidst Wonwoo's four walls. If you could call it that. You weren't quite sure what you'd expected to find - A coffin and a chandelier? White walls and a furniture made of glass? Though reality was far more grounded than one could expect. A row of paintings adorned his walls - some of them modern, some of them clsssics - soft music was coming from, what you presumed to be, his kitchen. It almost seemed... ordinary. You frowned.
"Y/N?", you heard his voice from somewhere out of sight. "Yeah, hi! It's me! The uh- concierge? Let me up, I hope that's okay."
His reply was instant. "Why wouldn't it be? I told him I'm expecting a lady." Your frown melted into a smile at his words. "Come to the kitchen, will you? Dinner's almost done."
Rounding the corner, your ran your fingers through your hair as one last effort to tidy yourself up more. Any confidence you'd tried to muster up prior, faltered at the sight of him. Gone was the usual business suit, traded for a nice black shirt and jeans. You were painfully aware of your contrasting attire, the urge to curse yourself feeling unbearable. His back was facing you, unscrewing a way to expensive looking bottle of wine.
"Hi", you greeted again.
His eyes immediately lit up as he turned to face you, a smile hanging off his lips. "You- Oh, wow." his brows shot up, his long fingers adjusting the frame of his glasses, as if he to check the validity of the image in front of him. "You look-"
"I'm sorry if this is too much? I don't know why I thought, you'd meant like a proper dinner, that's on me", the longer you spoke, the heavier your chest, your brain begging you to shut up already.
Wonwoo merely shook his head, softly laughing. "Well, I'm not complaining, don't worry-"
"Also so sorry I interrupted you, I didn't mean to." A pause followed.
"Hm", he cocked his head to the side, gaze searching your own. His frame, even in casual clothing was just as intimidating as you remembered. "Still so shy and nervous? I didn't expect that."
"I'm not shy-"
"But the evening's still young", he smiled at the appearance of your pout. "And I hope you like take out. I tried cooking one of Mingyu's recipes and it was... not as easy as expected."
Any snarky comment died right on your tongue at his tone. Taking one of the half full glasses located on his marble counter top, you quipped, "Harder than it looks to recreate artistry like that, right?"
He gazed down at you, taking a sip of wine himself. "And you're a great cook then, I assume?"
Without meaning to, your shoulder brushed against his arm, the proximity after all these evenings getting to know him making you dizzier than the alcohol. This is the same Wonwoo, you reminded yourself. The same cat loving, nerdy man you've been talking to all those days. "That's for you to find out next time."
For a blink of an eye you thought you saw his chest rise and shoulders stiffen, though his face remained the same mask of indifference you were used to. You considered this a triumph. "Well uh- I can't wait to find out."
Once dinner finally arrived, korean food made a restaurant you'd never heard of, you settled in his dining room with your second glass of wine of the evening. Deciding to ignore the gnawing question of just how expensive the bottle must have been. The food was way too well prepared to let bad thoughts ruin it either way. Conversation was just as easy as you remembered it. You'd gasp at any teasing remark and he gave affirming nods when you vented about work, art or your very impossible roommate. Though the latter conversation topic never seemed to earn you any smiles.
"And Layla was the...?", his face scrunched up as he tried to remember, leaning back in his chair. "Waitress? She seems sweet from what you've told me, what happened?"
You shook your head, giggling into your glass. "Exactly! What happened!", a sigh. "But he's great. Sometimes that is. When he's not lying to make me look stupid or convince me to do dumb stuff."
"Like what?", he asked, fingertip brushing alongside the glass. You really did hope he had yet to catch you staring at his hands.
You waved him off with a flick of your wrist, groaning at the memory of all of Jeonghan's previous shenanigans. "One time he gaslit me - and yes, it was gaslighting! - into making me do his laundry for a month! A month! I can't believe I fell for it too", you'd bury your face in your hand if you didn't have any makeup on. "He even convinced me to wear all this, can you believe him? Dress, lace set, hairdo-"
"Lace set?", Wonwoo repeated. Your smile dropped in an instant.
"What?"
"You said he made you wear a lace set." It wasn't a question, really. It was a statement the needed an answer. A response, an explanation, a confession. Every fiber of your being stood alert, ready to flee the scene and fling yourself off the balcony if needed.
Your eyes drifted to your empty plate, looking for an appropriate response in the remnants of your kimchi rice. "I did?"
"I'm afraid so." You weren't sure when Wonwoo had left his seat, his long legs looking too handsome as he sauntered closer to you. "Were you hoping on me seeing you in it tonight?", he asked, now only a few steps away from you.
A trap question. He knew your answer already, you were sure. It was the hidden sadistic nature in him that urged you out of your shell and into the humiliation of utter vulnerability. In a last act of defiance, you blinked up at where he stood, not paying heed to the beating of your heart. "Hannie told me to-"
"Since when are you doing what anyone tells you to?" The warmth of his fingers found your cheek. His touch felt electrifying. "If you don't want me to see, all you have to do is tell me. Use your words."
Your breath hitched in your throat. "I... hoped you would."
A smirk spread on his lips, bending down until he was on eye level with you. Licking his lips, his eyes drifted down to yours, an unspoken question lingering between you, before he rasped, "That's what I thought."
He had you on your back, dress long discarded between the couch and the dining room, as you lay there writhing in your underwear, his mouth pressing open mouthed kisses to you neck. The friction of your bra against the silky fabric of his shirt felt almost sinful as his hand reached for your chest, quiet whines slipping past your lips. Whatever you'd hoped for, you'd never have thought he'd actually want you like this. Maybe the alcohol had messed with your brain too much.
"You're so pretty like this", Wonwoo breathed, slipping your panties to the side before he ran his thumb over your clit. A sharp inhale escaped you, body jolting against him in surprise. He smiled into your skin. "Let me hear you."
It felt forbidden to see him still this in control, while you were somewhere between bliss and anxiety. He lay fully clothed on top of you, using his knees to spread your thighs apart for easier access, glasses foggy. You'd almost giggle at the sight. "Fuh- Oh", you gasped, a finger finally sliding into you, wetness coating his hand in the blink of an eye. "Wonwoo..."
A soft laugh. "Yeah?"
"More", you demanded, hips grinding into his steadily moving hand.
"More? Whatever could she mean?" He grinned at your frustrated huff, kissing the top of your lace covered breasts.
"You know!", you grumbled. Or whined. You weren't quite so sure anymore.
He complied to your demands, adding another, long finger, heel of his palm rubbing against your sensitive clit. Moan after moan tumbled from your parted lips, pressure rising in the pit of your stomach with every flick of his wrist. It'd been too long for you to properly relish this moment, pleasure almost too fleeting before even falling off the edge. An artist's curse to live in melancholy and nostalgia.
As your hip brushing against his crotch, he finally let a moan of his own slip, squeezing his eyes shut. The sight was almost too much to bear for you. He looked so handsome like this - cheeks flushed, slightly out of breath. You stared in awe. "Your pussy's so tight", he sighed.
"Won-" a gasp. And with a brush against your spongie spot inside you and the friction against your clit, you let go. Pleasure illuminating your whole body. Wonwoo could swear you shined as bright as any beacon at that moment.
He kissed your lips for the final time, soft and sweet, before he gathered you up in his arms, hugging your fucked out form closet to his chest. "What about you?", he heard you mumble, face buried in the crook of his neck. He only shook his head, reaching for a blanket to cover you with. "I'm tired."
You'd slept surprisingly well on his couch, the fabric of the cushions softer than most of the bedsheets you'd slept in. Though as you stretched out to find the man on your mind, you were met with an empty spot. Reluctantly, you opened your eyes, after sex exhaustion and alcohol making your lids feel especially heavy this morning. "Oh fuck", you cursed softly, images from last night flooding your mind. The memories of his lips on your skin, his kisses, his hands... It was way too early to think about all of this.
You rolled to your side, on the search for your phone, a creme colored envelope catching your eye immediately. Careful not to tear the paper, you squinted trying to make out Wonwoo's handwriting.
Last night was lovely. I transferred some money to your account - There's a new art dealer in town. Let's talk soon.
Money. Oh. Yeah, you remembered. This is what this was about, how could you forget? It's an arrangement first and foremost. Your fingers felt numb as you held the piece of paper in the too big, too expensive, too empty apartment of Jeon Wonwoo. Wealthy trustfund kid, CEO to be Jeon Wonwoo. How could you forget?

Warnings: sumttt✨
a/n: Hii babess i know i haven't been writing, honestly don't even know why. Anyways hope you enjoy this story and please send in requests. Any feedback and tips on how to improve are much appreciated. Also, very insecure about this so please don't be harsh. English isn't my first language, so sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes.💓
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just got out of a 2y toxic relationship, i felt like absolute shit but my girlfriend dragged me out of the house to go to some house party. ''Y/n get your ass out of bed, it's been 3 months, forget about that dick!'' Mia said. she is my best friend and i love her, but God she can be so persistent. ''Mia i just can't, i really don't have the energy.'' i said while hiding under my duvet. ''Please y/n, i hears Marc's gonna be there.'' Mia had the biggest crush on Marc for as long as i can remember. ''Please y/n, for me.'' she whined. ''Ughh, fine but just because i love you.'' ''OMGG, thankk you you're the best'' she said as she happily jumped around.
We started getting ready, i wore a black mini dress which complimented my figure nicely and some black heels. i did my makeup and called the cab to take us to the party. When we got there we went to get a drink, after a few minutes Mia had to go to the bathroom so I stood by the drinks. I was looking around when I heard a voice behind me ''Hey, whacha drinking?'' as turned around i saw a brown haired boy with the most beautiful blue eyes, he was smiling down at me waiting for an answer. ''Oh, just a gin tonic.'' ''Oh, nice. I'm Chris btw.'' he said putting out his hand for me to shake. ''I'm y/n, nice to meet you.'' ''So what brings you here?'' he asked looking down at me. ''Umm.. well my friend actually dragged me here so she could try and hook up with her crush soo i'm just kinda stuck here…'' And yeah there she was, in the corner of my eye i could see, Mia talking to Marc, i was definitely stuck here.
''Oh, wanna go for a smoke?'' he asks. ''Yes, please.'' I answered practically begging not to be alone. We went out to the porch, lighted a cigarette Chris spoke ''You look really nice.'' ''Oh, um thank you, you too.'' He just smiled. ''So you have a boyfriend?'' he asks. ''No, um not anymore at least.'' i answer with a shaky voice, still not over the whole situation. ''What happened, if you don't mind me asking?'' ''Well, to save you the details, he was a narcissistic piece of shit. We were together for 2 years after i found out he was cheating on me 3 months ago….'' ''Omg, that's awful, I'm so sorry to hear that.'' he replies . ''Yeah it's fine. Soo you got a special someone?'' i ask excitedly, honestly hoping he would say no. ''No, i do not.'' he replies chuckling. I just smile, trying to hide my excitement..
''Do you wanna go somewhere more private to talk?'' he asks, and i nod. He takes my hand as we make our way upstairs throughout the people. After we find a empty room, which was surprisingly very hard, Chris closes the door behind us and sits next to me on the bed. We were chatting for a bit about family, school and stuff like that when he says ''You look very pretty rn'' that sentence makes my heart flutter. i mean have you seen that man?! i smile, we just look at each other for a moment, and he starts leaning in, my stomach fills with butterflies as our lips collide. The kiss was soft at first, so innocent.
Things hot heated very fast, after a while i feel him tugging on the bottom of my dress. He stops for a second looking at me for approval, i nod, desperate to feel his touch. he took my dress of and he started taking of his shirt. we were now laying on the bed, he climbed on top of me kissing me hungrily this time. i tug at his belt, he gets the hint and takes of his trousers. ''Are you sure?'' he asks ''Yes Chris please i need you.'' i beg pathetically. As he starts pushing his length into me, a gasp escapes my mouth, he was so big i could barely take him. He starts ponding into me, i moan unable to hold it in ''Yes let me hear those pretty sounds, so perfect'' he says heavily breathing. ''Omg Chris you feel so fucking good'' i could barely speak. His veiny hand snakes around my neck, squeezing slightly. ''So perfect for me princess.'' he says in a low tone sending me over the edge. As I clench around his length, he releases inside of me letting out a groan. He pulls out of me and roles over on his back, we just lay there for a moment, both out of breath.
He puts his arm around me and pulls me in closer, kissing my forehead. I could feel my cheeks burning red. ''Are you okay, not hurt or anything?'' he asks. ''I'm perfect'' i respond. He smiles, we just lay there in silence, sharing a few kisses. After a while I needed to find Mia and get home sense it was getting late. To be honest I wanted to stay there for an eternity if I could, but Mia was surely searching for me.
''So, um I should really get going, it's getting late, I need to find my friend'' i say with a smile, honestly feeling bad that i need to leave. Chris says he understands, we exchange numbers I kiss him one last time and get going. I went out to call a cab and there i find Mia visibly drunk. ''Heyyy y/nn, where have you been, I've been searching all over for youuu..'' she says drunkenly. ''Okayy now take it easy lets go home..'' i say helping her walk to the cab. We get to mine i put Mia in bed so she can sleep, i decided to check my phone.
There was a message from Chris asking me to hang out again some time soon. I was over the moon. I replied obviously saying yes. After a bit of texting back and forth, I went to bed not being able to take my mind off of Chris and tonight- which wouldn't have happened without Mia and her persistence.

Tw: sewicide @ttempt (details)
I attempted last night with 25 Sertraline 50mg pills. I didn't work and now I want to jump off a rooftop but it doesn't matter.
I wanted to share you the effects of a (failed) Sertraline overdose cuz I think it's interesting.
The act. I wanted to take it and try to sleep as fast as possible to die during the night. So I took the pills at 9pm, drank a little bit of alcohol to increase its effects and went in my bed.
Symptoms. Tachycardia is the first one noticeable... and the most annoying in fact cuz I haven't slept a single minute because of it. It is like doing sport so I was extremely tired but couldn't sleep because of it. The second most visible is shaking, like I shaked really bad and still do a little actually (24h after). I also had an infernal migraine, and it took 20 hours to go away - stomach aches too. My body was logically very stressed so I was very anxious; and I heavily dissociated (still dissociated actually). The symptom that surprised me the most was hallucinations. A few hours after the intake, I started seeing shadows moving, even one transformed into a small monster but I ran away lol. My vision was blurred so everything I couldn't perfectly see (the lights were off) was transforming into something, I even saw my mom, and my cat multiple times too. I also saw colored dots randomly appearing and disappearing. But the most surprising was the voices. I was literally hearing voices calling me and walking sounds, wich was very annoying because I was like "maybe this time it's real" and it wasn't, I verified with her. A last one is total anedonia, so I actually hate my life more than before lmao.
Afterwards. It's been 24 hours now and I still shake a little, my heartbeats are a little faster than before but nothing very annoying. I don't have appetite/food cravings rn and I think the reason of that is anedonia. I sincerely felt like I was dying for hours , and hoped I would have a heart attack due to tachycardia but I'm still here lmao. I feel fine actually (I mean no physical pain) Tell me if you think this was interesting to read. Ps: I also skipped small symptoms cuz there was a lot.

Whew it's been a minute since I came out with one of these! Sorry about that filks; mind not in a good space a lot of stuff going on, personally and academically, but my GF was able to help me out of it 💖☺️
These stories are a bit sporadic but they each highlight a very key feature (lemme know when u figure it out but it'll be pretty obvious) continue under cut
Blue Me, Pink GF
So about a few days ago (maybe a week), my GF and I were chilling in her bed just cuddling (I was the weighted blanket this time ☺️💖🤭) and my Gf started lightly scribbling her nails on my sides
"T-That doesn't tickle...." (my voice was legit shaking, it tickled so bad)
"You sure about that hun?" (Scribbles a bit harder)
"Y-Yeah it doesn't tickle. Gonna have to do better than that...."
My Gf scoffs before tickling my armpits, and I just lost it
"Haha there we go, that's better~"
BRUUUUUHHH HOW DID SHE KNOWWWWW 😖😖💖
After that, fast forward a few days later from today, my GF and I had a really heart to heart talk (daddy issues ngl) and I was really upset and distraught. After my Gf gave me a hug (that alone made me feel a lot better) she pulled away and asked, "¿Necesitas sonreír?" (Do you need to smile?)
I honestly love how that it has gotten to the point that if I'm very upset, my girlfriend asks if I want tickles because she knows how much I love them and how much it makes me feel better (and from her words, it puts my pretty smile back on my face)
So when I nodded yes, she chucked before kissing my neck. She then forced her hands under my arms and started tickling me there, making me fall back on the couch laughing
"There's that smile~"
AHHHHHH I LOVE HER TO DEATH OMGGGGG 💖☺️🥰😆
So fast forward again to today (very late at night), my gf and I had another heavy talk (family issues) and I was a little sad but my GF made some good points in our conversation
"Hey, don't let that overwhelm you, okay? You've been having a rough few weeks, especially with worrying about your sister" (heavy topic I won't get into rn but maybe soon),"but just think about what I said, okay?"
I only nodded and on the brink of tears. She looked at me before kissing me and then my neck, only getting a small smile out of me
"Aww come on where's that smile?"
THIS GIRL CLIMBED ON TOP OF ME AND STARTED WIGGLING HER FINGERS AT ME (specifically at my armpits) WITH THE MOST SINISTER IMPISH GRIN I HAVE EVER SEEN 🤭😳😳😳🤭🤭💖💖
"Don't dohoho thahahat!" (I couldn't even look at her; my stomach was fluttering with butterflies)
"Hahaha there's that smile!"
SHE DIDNT EVEN TOUCH ME AND I WAS GIGGLING LIKE AN IDIOT OMGGGGGG 🤭😳😳💖 THAT FLUSTERED THE SHIT OUT OF ME OMGGGGG
So yeah! Sorry about not posting these in a while but life got in the way, but I should be back with more of these soon, provided that my GF continues to do what she does best!
(Also, did you catch the key feature in this TTS?)
