"Meant to Be"
Tumblr media
Pairing: Spencer Reid x wife!reader
Genre: fluff
Words: 3.2k
Warnings: Brief mention of child abandonment, emotional themes, adoption, foster care
Summary: Spencer and his wife never planned on having kids just yet—but when they find an abandoned baby near the FBI headquarters, everything changes.
a/n: request by anon
The day had started out like any other. You and Spencer walked hand in hand through the streets of D.C., enjoying the crisp morning air before he had to head into work. Being married to an FBI agent meant cherishing moments like these—the quiet ones, the normal ones.
But then, as you passed by a quiet alley near the FBI headquarters, a soft, muffled cry stopped you both in your tracks.
Spencer stiffened beside you. His hand instinctively tightened around yours. "Did you hear that?"
You nodded, scanning the dimly lit space between two buildings. At first, there was nothing but dumpsters and scattered debris. But then, just barely visible near the wall, you saw it—a small baby carrier.
Your heart lurched.
“Spencer…” You whispered, already moving toward it.
He was right beside you as you knelt down. Inside the carrier was a tiny baby, no older than a few months. Their chubby cheeks were flushed pink from the cool morning air, and their big brown eyes blinked up at you in confusion.
A note was tucked beside them.
Spencer grabbed it, his hands trembling slightly as he read aloud. I’m sorry. I can’t take care of him.
That was all. No name, no details. Just a heartbreaking confession.
You swallowed hard, instinctively reaching out. The moment your fingers brushed against the baby’s soft blanket, he let out a tiny whimper, his tiny hands grasping at the air. Without thinking, you scooped him up, holding him close to your chest.
Spencer let out a shaky breath. “We need to call the police.”
You nodded, but your eyes were locked on the baby. He felt so small in your arms, so vulnerable. He had no idea he’d been abandoned—he just wanted warmth, comfort. Love.
Spencer made the call while you rocked the baby gently, whispering soothing words. When he looked up at you, something in his gaze softened.
You didn’t realize it at the time, but that was the moment everything changed.
---
A few hours later
The baby—who the doctors estimated to be around three months old—was in good health despite being left outside in the cold. You and Spencer stayed with him at the hospital, waiting for Child Protective Services to arrive.
You hadn’t put him down once.
Spencer watched you the entire time, his mind whirring. He had always imagined you holding a baby one day, but it was supposed to be later—years later. Yet here you were, cradling this tiny boy like you were meant to be his mother.
And Spencer felt something shift inside him.
“Do we know his name?” you asked the nurse, adjusting the blanket around the baby.
She shook her head. “Nothing was left with him. For now, the social worker is calling him ‘Baby Doe.’”
You frowned, looking down at him. “That doesn’t seem right. He deserves a name.”
Spencer hesitated for only a second before saying, “James.”
You blinked up at him in surprise.
“My mom used to read me The Turn of the Screw by Henry James,” he explained. “I always liked the name.”
You smiled. “James. I like it.”
The baby—James—yawned sleepily against your chest, and something inside Spencer clenched.
He wasn’t ready for kids.
But suddenly, he wasn’t so sure he could imagine letting this one go.
---
A few days later
Spencer came home late from work, exhausted and distracted. The case had been tough, but it wasn’t what was weighing on him.
It was James.
You had spent every spare second checking on him, calling social services, asking about his placement. You hadn’t said it out loud, but Spencer could see it in your eyes.
You wanted to keep him.
And the terrifying part?
Spencer wanted that too.
As soon as he stepped inside, he found you curled up on the couch, your phone clutched in your hands. You looked up at him with an unreadable expression.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, immediately alert.
You took a deep breath. “The social worker called. James’ birth mother doesn’t want him back. He’s being placed in the foster system.”
Spencer’s stomach twisted.
Foster care.
James was so small, so vulnerable. He deserved better than being shuffled between homes, never knowing where he belonged.
The words were out before Spencer could stop them.
“What if we take him?”
Your eyes widened. “Spencer…”
“I know we didn’t plan for this. And I know it’s fast, and crazy, and maybe completely irresponsible. But…” He exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. “I don’t want him to go into the system. And I don’t want to spend the rest of my life wondering what happened to him. We could do this. We should do this.”
You stared at him, searching his face. “Are you sure?”
Spencer let out a breathless laugh. “No. But when I see you holding him, when I think about him going to strangers instead of us… I know I can’t just walk away.”
Your lips trembled, and Spencer reached for your hands.
“Let’s foster him,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “And if—if things go well, maybe one day we can adopt him.”
Tears filled your eyes, and you nodded. “Okay.”
Spencer let out a shaky breath, pulling you into his arms. He wasn’t sure what the future held, but one thing was certain.
James was meant to be theirs.
---
Six months later
James had turned your world upside down.
Sleepless nights, endless bottles, diaper changes—it was nothing like the quiet, controlled life Spencer had envisioned. But he wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Because now, his days started with James’ giggles and ended with you rocking him to sleep.
Because every time James reached for Spencer with his chubby little hands, his heart ached in the best way.
Because Spencer had thought he wasn’t ready to be a father.
But he was.
And as he stood in the doorway, watching you hum softly as you cradled James against your chest, Spencer knew he had never been more certain of anything in his life.
He stepped forward, wrapping his arms around you from behind, pressing a soft kiss to your shoulder.
“You were right,” he murmured.
You turned your head slightly, smiling. “About what?”
Spencer rested his chin on your shoulder, watching James sleep.
“About us being ready.” He swallowed thickly. “About him being ours.”
You reached up, lacing your fingers with his. “We should make it official, then.”
Spencer’s breath caught. “You mean…?”
“Let’s adopt him.”
A slow, disbelieving smile spread across his face. “Yeah?”
You turned in his arms, resting your forehead against his. “Yeah.”
Spencer kissed you then, slow and deep, pouring everything he felt into it.
James might not have been in their plans.
But he had been in their hearts all along.
And now, he was home.

The shadow man’s secrets
Tumblr media
Pairing: Azriel x reader | WC: 3.5k | warnings: mentions of shackles and kidnapping
Summary: based on this request - the spymaster of the Night Court is harboring a secret and Nesta Archeron is determined to figure out what it is. What happens when she discovers the secret isn’t a what but rather a whom?
A/N: thank you to this request!! It’s late but this fic was so fun (wanted it done for Halloween but 🤡) Happy free day for @sjmromanceweek!
Something was going on with Azriel. The other members of the Inner Circle might not have noticed, but Nesta sure did. The shadowsinger always kept things close to his vest, his personal life a secret to his whole family. Nesta was certain he had an entire life they had no idea about. 
But something had happened recently and Nesta couldn’t quite pinpoint what it meant. 
Nesta had run into Azriel the other morning as if he were just coming back into the house, even though she knew he had spent the night at the House of Wind. It left her so confused, she spent the rest of the day confused and stuck in her own head. 
These days he seemed to have less shadows following him about, the light allowing Nesta to see more of his face. The bags beneath his eyes had lessened and he seemed brighter. Azriel had even been a bit more vocal at family gatherings. 
She hadn’t said anything when she saw him, merely nodded at him in greeting before he disappeared once more. She had turned the brief interaction over and over in her mind, searching for any detail she may have missed. 
“He’s seeing someone.”
Cassian choked on his smoothie, a chunk of banana getting caught in his throat. The mated pair had been enjoying a quiet breakfast until the realization hit Nesta hard and fast.
Yes. He was seeing someone. Someone he cared about. 
“You can’t be serious. We’ve talked about this.” Cassian looked down at the smoothie he spilt on himself, dabbing at his shirt with a towel as he spoke. The topic had come up before, but Nesta hadn’t felt so resolute and convinced as she did now.
“Cassian, I’m sure of it.”
“Have you seen this mysterious fae?”
“No, but-���
“Nesta,” he sighed, throwing the towel onto the counter, “Azriel’s love life has been a mystery to all of us for a long time. Believe me, if he’s keeping secrets, I want to be the first to know.”
Nesta let the words hang in the air, taking a bite of her bowl of oats. She watched Cassian’s face for a moment, an idea forming. 
“Let’s find out.”
The couple made a plan they felt quite proud of: they’d covertly ask Rhys about Azriel’s upcoming schedule, and on the nights he was staying at the House of Wind, they would stay up and follow him out.
It sounded so easy, surely within a night or two they would catch where he snuck off to, finding him with a lover, putting an end to Nesta’s curiosity.
Cassian was quite proud of himself when asking Rhysand about their brother’s schedule. He had been debating all sorts of reasons as to why he should know Azriel’s whereabouts from planning a surprise for him to wanting to make him a nice meal. He knew Rhys would see through those reasons, so he went for a much simpler reason.
The two were lounging lazily in Rhys’s office, the deep purple curtains blowing softly in the breeze. Rhys had hummed after Cassian asked about Azriel’s schedule, finally looking up at his brother before Cassian quickly sputtered out.
“You know, so Nes and I can have alone time.”
Rhys tilted his head, analyzing Cassian’s face as he took the question in. He leaned back in his chair, a slight creak as his weight shifted.
“Since when have the two of you ever cared about having an audience?”
Cassian rubbed his sweaty palms against his thighs, anticipating the question. He leaned in conspiratorially, dropping his voice as if Azriel would hear. “Well, we were talking and we felt a bit bad after everything at Solstice, ya know? We’ve been trying to be more delicate.”
Rhys rubbed his eyes, clearly not swayed on the reason, but not sure if he cared enough to know the full truth. “He’ll be gone Saturday through Tuesday, otherwise he has no commitments that aren’t small and local.”
The two continued on their ‘meeting’ - mostly drinking while Rhys reviewed mind numbing documents. It was rare Cassian got to spend time alone with Rhysand these days. Nyx and Feyre kept his brother’s attention nearly every moment of the day.
He didn’t harbor any ill will about it, but the crackling fire and silence transported Cassian back to a much younger body. One with less scars and aches, less sure of himself. How every evening of his youth was accompanied by Rhys and Azriel, the three complaining about whatever fresh new horrors training had laid upon them that day.
Had Az felt this distance with Rhys or even Cassian? Sure, he lived in the House of Wind with him, but the general hardly saw him. Guilt flooded his chest, trying to remember the last time he devoted any attention to Azriel directly. 
Cassian spent the rest of his afternoon in Rhys’s office, thoughts far away from the brother before him. 
-
For the rest of the week, Cassian went out of his way to seek out Az. He found him for meals, looking for him to do work together, asking to go on flights together. The sudden clinginess had met little resistance from Azriel, just confusion from the shadowsinger. 
During the night, Cassian would leave his brother, and he and Nesta waited, lurking the halls of the House of Wind to see what they would find. 
The first three nights were unsuccessful, the mated pair falling asleep in the hallway during their shifts before giving up and retreating to their beds. It felt odd staying up so late with little results, but the pair were determined to catch Azriel.
On the fourth and groggy night, the pair had changed to watching in shifts. Nesta took the first watch and would wake Cassian to take the second watch. Cassian agreed easily, exhaustion overtaking his body quickly after the extra training he had been doing with Azriel.
Cassian hadn’t slept for that long when he felt Nesta tugging the bond intently. He reluctantly got up, letting the bond drag him through the halls of the house. He finally found his mate standing at the balcony doors, urging him to hurry up.
“He just took off - we have to follow him.”
Guilt stirred in Cassian’s chest, an unpleasant pang creeping back in that he had a hand in his brother’s loneliness. He didn’t want to follow his brother, and wanted to afford him some privacy in the company he kept these days. 
But the general scooped up his mate anyway, wings taking off, slicing through air currents. Cassian’s wings flapped slowly in the wind, trying to stay as silent as possible as the two flew over Velaris. His hands gripped tighter around Nesta as the air got colder, the altitude rising to hide between the clouds.
They followed Azriel to the outskirts of Velaris, watched him land at the gate to a small, quaint home. It was charming - a white house with wood trim, a round door, and a small garden in the front. Cassian glided in the air, watching Azriel walk into the home before he closed the door behind him.
After a moment, the pair made their descent, landing softly on the ground. After setting Nesta down, the two slunk through the night, making little disturbance as they made it to the front door.
Nesta pressed her long ear to the door, listening for any movement before gently reaching her hand out and twisting the knob. It moved with ease, a quiet one could only find in the dead of night.
The mated pair crept in, slowly shutting the door behind them before gazing at each other, a silent now what? exchanged in their glances.
They both took in the dark house, scanning across the bookshelves that littered the common room. Books were strewn about the place. Papers were scattered everywhere. Mugs sat out on the tables, lonely tea bags left in the bottoms of them.
This was certainly not Azriel’s home, Cassian thought. Azriel’s room was incredibly bare boned, not even appearing to be lived in. But this place, with a worn couch and still warm fireplace, called out a level of domesticity Nesta doesn’t think she’s ever had.
Cassian began tracing his thumb across the spines of books, none of the titles familiar to him. He was just about to sit on the couch when Nesta pulled him away, dragging him to a staircase. He wanted to stop the madness, guilt sinking into his gut at the invasion of privacy, continuing on in spite of what he knew was wrong. 
The hallway was small, Cassian’s wings tucking in tight to squeeze through. Paintings hung on the walls, but it was too dark to make out the subjects. At the top of the stairs was a hallway which had three doors coming off of it. Cassian pointed his finger at the doors, moving his hand between them in decision. Muttering something under his breath, his finger landed on the door in the middle. The two began making their way to the door, until they heard shuffling from behind it.
The two quickly changed direction and moved into the closest room, closing the door quickly behind them. Cassian’s wings barely fit through the door, but he managed somehow, turning to gaze at the door, half wondering how he’s going to get out. Nesta’s hand on his arm made him still, the soft dig of her nails an unwelcome feeling for the first time.
Cassian turned, taking in the room they chose. Just as cozy as the rest of the house, the room was filled with knick knacks and trinkets, the place seeming well loved. He wasn’t certain what had stopped Nesta until his eyes landed on the bed, finding a female’s form covered by a large comforter.
The female slumbered, her breathing heavy as Nesta watched her. Her mind whirled, doubt creeping in that they had gotten this all wrong. Azriel had a girlfriend and that was that.
Nesta knew Azriel was a bit odd, always keeping secrets. A secret girlfriend shouldn’t surprise her, but the air still held a note of sinister to it.
She began turning away, pushing Cassian to go back to the door, when the female shifted, her foot moving out from the blanket and Nesta’s blood ran cold.
“Cass.”
A faebane shackle laid across her ankle.
She turned to Cassian, pointing her index finger at the shackle but it was too late. Something cold wrapped around her shoulder, a deep voice in her ear whispering, “what are you doing?”
Nesta let out a scream from deep in her soul before turning to find the shadowsinger behind her. He was towering over her, and it was then Nesta understood the icy rage so many had described him having. His shadows were slithering all around him in agitation, his stare making Nesta’s stomach plummet. She shot out a fist, instinct kicking in before Azriel caught her hand, holding it tight.
Hazel eyes had targeted onto hers, his hand holding tight around her fist as she tried to push him off her.
“Let her go, Az.” Cassian’s jaw clenched, preparing to fight his brother. Cassian was shocked at this secret life his brother had. He knew that the shadowsinger had an unsavory job, but he never thought his brother could resort to this.
“Not before she tells me what the two of you are doing here.”
“What we are doing here? You’ve kidnapped someone, Az!” Her free hand flung out to the direction of the female on the bed, surely drugged by how the rocuse hadn’t woken her. Azriel’s eyes followed Nesta’s hand, his jaw ticking at having been caught. 
“She’s none of your business.” Any warmth Azriel had shown Nesta was gone from his voice, a cold timber that nearly made Nesta collapse.
Cassian put an arm around Nesta’s shoulders, trying to pull her away from Azriel. “Brother, what are you doing? Why is she-“
“She’s none of your concern.” Azriel’s voice was clipped, sharp with agitation. He stepped toward them, his shadows peering over his shoulder making him seem a foot taller. “Now, why are you two here?”
Cassian growled at his brother, forming a shield in front of Nesta. His blood was roaring, Illyrian drive revving up in preparation for anything. Azriel stood his ground, a menacing shadow towering over Cassian. 
The general looked back at the bed, the split second he spent watching the steady rise and fall of the female’s breathing lasting almost a lifetime.
A hundred possibilities moved through Cassian’s mine, a slideshow of what ifs and regrets. He knew the best course of action now was to flee, to run, to get Rhysand. If Azriel had gone rogue, truly going off the deep end, were Cassian and Nesta enough to fight him?
He didn’t wait to find out. Cassian turned his back on his brother before grabbing Nesta’s waist. He carried her to the balcony in a sprint, crashing through the doors before taking to the skies with Nesta in his arms.
“Cassian, we have to go back! We have to save her.” Nesta’s words were accented with her fist making contact with Cassian’s shoulder.
“Nesta, if what we saw was real, we have to tell Rhys. We can’t fight this by ourselves.”
The General had never flown so fast before, yelling for Rhys in his mind only to get no response. The pair landed on a balcony outside the River House that Cassian knew led directly into Rhys’s study. After setting Nesta down, he opened the door, stopping as he saw both of his brothers already conversing.
“Cassian,” Rhys purred, irritation twinkling in his eye the only hint at his annoyance. “How lovely for you two to join us.”
Nesta wasted no time as she stormed in, squaring up to Azriel. The shadowsinger still towered over her, but she did not back down. 
“I trusted you.”
Her finger jabbed into his chest. It didn’t do anything other than pain Nesta’s finger, but she did it again to drive the point home.
“I trusted you with my friends, the priestesses, my sisters! I trusted you!” Each word was emphasized with a jab of her finger into his chest. He snarled back at the accusations, but remained quiet.
“Was this because of Solstice?” Cassian chimed in from behind his mate. “Certainly there were better options than this!”
“Do you find me so inloveable I’d resort to- what exactly?” 
“Sit down, all three of you.” A High Lord’s command had the three fae tensing. They all sat promptly, Nesta moving her chair closer to Cassian.
“Rhys, look into my mind, you have to know what I saw.”
Rhys held up a hand, his jaw setting in annoyance.
“I was woken up by Azriel, something that hasn’t happened in centuries. Now, I want to hear from all of you what happened.”
Cassian and Nesta began speaking at the same time, their words jumbled on top of each other. Rhys sighed before he looked to Azriel. “You woke me up, I’ll hear your side first.”
“This situation is no one’s concern.”
Rhys raised his eyebrows. “Well, if there’s no concern, why did you wake me?”
Azriel opened his mouth, only to be interrupted by Nesta. “None of our concern? You had a female hostage, Azriel!”
Azriel bared his teeth at his sister in law, “she is not some female and she is not your concern.”
Cadsian and Rhys stared in shock at Azriel’s outburst, neither brother getting a word in before three light taps hit the wood of the door. All four fae turned as the door opened, a female in her pajamas coming into view.
“Um, hi.”
All heads turned to the doorway to find Feyre escorting a female in. Hair unbound, she wore a long shirt and nothing else, exposing her legs to the cold air. 
Azriel stood quickly, knocking his chair back to get to the door in three quick strides. He reached out his hands, gently placing them on her shoulders. The female raised her hands, rubbing his in a soothing motion.
“You don’t have to.”
Azriel was met with a glare before a soft “I know” could be heard if Nesta strained her ears just enough.
“It’s nice to meet you all, despite the strange circumstances.”
Cassian looked on in confusion, each moment curiouser than the last. Nesta watched the reactions of everyone around her - Azriel stood in the doorway next to a confused Feyre, and Rhys sat back in his chair, arms crossed at the chest.
“None of you know me, but it feels like I know all of you from how much Azriel speaks of you.”
Azriel cut in, his hands going back onto her shoulders, his wings wrapping around her in a possessive stance. Shadows circled the pair incessantly, twitching in agitation, huddling close to both as if protecting them.
“She is my mate.”
The room was completely quiet at the revelation, no one moving to break the spell of the atmosphere. Azriel’s shadows swirled around the room, whether fighting or dancing, Nesta couldn’t tell.
“I think you killed them.” A soft giggle came from her, unable to help herself as she saw the most famous family in the Night Court at an utter loss for words.
“Hush, you.” Azriel gently squeezed her arm, watching the faces of his family. They all stared back, jaws practically hanging off the hinges. It was Cassian who spoke up first, his hand scratching the back of his head.
“Then why was she chained to your bed?”
A sad smile graced her lips, the endearingly sleepy look gone. “Oh, um, it’s quite a story. My brother could wield the shadows, but when he died a few years ago, his shadows just flocked to me.”
Cassian looked more closely, and could tell a slight difference in the shadows in the room. He didn’t think much of them initially, assuming they were just Azriel’s, but now he could make out two distinct groupings of darkness: one pool was erratic, moving with no plotted course, the other seemed to follow them, trying to corral them closer.
It was truly a sight to see. He was mesmerized by them, like a child watching fish pass by in a tank.
“Then why the shackles?”
“Oh!” Nesta wanted to roll her eyes, not expecting Azriel’s mate to cause her such anguish in such a short span of time. “I’ve been having issues lately where I shadow walk while dreaming. It’s really not ideal.” Hands moved to her bag, pulling out a set of keys that jangled as they came free. “Azriel thought of it - but he ensures I always have a set of keys nearby should I need to escape.”
”And why have you been a secret from us?”
“My fault, again. I don’t have the best hold on my shadows and they like to tell me everything so I’ve basically been a homebody unless Azriel’s around.”
They stared blankly, the three fae still not quite wrapping their heads around her existence.
“It’s just really difficult taking in all the new information all the time like how my High Lord is smiling and how he has his shoes off beneath the desk and how Nesta’s nails are digging into her palms-“
“I think that’s enough, dear.”
Azriel ran a soothing hand down his mate’s hair, the action soothing her shadows.
“But I promise he’s not hiding me against my will. In fact, that’s my house you two broke into.”
The color drained from Cassian’s face as he leaned forward, “I’m so-“
Her hand waved him off. “Azriel warned me his family was nosey. I figured it was only a matter of time until he found out how nosey you lot were.”
Cassian looked sheepish, leaning back in his seat, avoiding the gaze of both of his brothers.
“Will we see you again?” Nesta sounded almost sheepish, insecure. She didn’t want to convey how badly she wanted to know Azriel’s mate. She always held a soft spot for the shadowsinger, and she wanted to probe more answers out of her.
Azriel and his mate shared a glance between each other, the adoration shining in their shared look. It was enough for Nesta’s hackles to fall back down and be satiated.
For now.
“I’m sure you will.” Despite the hour, despite the fact they broke into her home, she was all smiles and brightness.
“Now, I’d like to escort my mate back to bed. Surely the two of you-“ Azriel pointed fingers at his brothers, “should do the same.”
Azriel led his mate to the balcony before gently picking her up, carrying her off into the night. The three fae sat in silence, watching his form get smaller and smaller. The doors stayed open, the soft wingbeats and giggles carried through the house on the wind.

Only threw this party for you
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hamzah x (fem)reader
Description: It's the reader's birthday and she decided to host a "rager". Her friends are skeptical as she's never been interested in hosting parties. Little do they know, it was all planned with the hope that one person in particular would make an appearance.
a/n: I'm sure you can tell from my profile pic that I'm a huge Charli fan lol. This idea came to me as I was playing this album on repeat. Hope y'all enjoy <3
---
The bass thumped against the walls, the thick air overbearing with the smell of spilled drinks and hot bodies. You had never been one for house parties—especially not the kind filled with strangers you barely knew. But this made the party all that much more appealing right? Tonight was different.
Tonight was a gamble.
Your friends had raised their eyebrows when you’d proposed the idea. "Since when do you throw parties?" Taylor had asked, skepticism lacing her tone. You’d only shrugged, feigning nonchalance, while anticipation clawed at your ribs. You have just recently moved into a new apartment with lots of space, so this could be your chance to show it off. While everyone else thought this was just a random burst of spontaneity, you knew better.
You’d planned every detail of this night with one hope in mind:
that Hamzah would show up.
Hamzah had been your friend for years— at least, that was how you would describe him. You weren't even sure if he felt the same way anymore. Your friendship teetering on the edge of something more but never quite crossing that line. That was until one night you had said a few more words then you should have.
---
It had been late, just the two of you lingering in the glow of streetlights after the rest of your friends had gone home. He always walked you home.
His arms rested in his pockets as he looked down at you smiling while you recited a story you found hilarious.
"Can you believe that? She went that far all for some guy. I can't even imagine."
He chuckled, shaking his head. "I mean, people do crazy things for the people they like."
You laughed, a little breathless, but his smile made your heart skip. It was like there was a quiet understanding between the two of you, a connection that lingered in the spaces between your words.
As we arrived at my apartment, something in the city air made me feel a bit too confident. Suddenly, words tumbled from your lips before you could stop it. "Honestly, I can only imagine going that far if he was someone like you."
Too much.
Hamzah stopped dead in his tracks, mouth agape with wide eyes.
You had let your guard slip.
He hadn’t responded right away. His gaze had flickered, searching yours, his lips parting as if to say something—anything—but nothing came. The silence stretched too long, thick and suffocating, until finally, he had only managed a quiet, "I should go."
___
That was the last you had heard from him in weeks. You were too embarrassed to phone him or go by his house and apologize for making the situation so weird.
You tried not to scan the crowd too obviously, though your heart shot up each time the front door creaked open. Friends mingled, and people you barely knew were making out in corners. Almost everyone was enjoying themselves, dancing in dim lighting without a care in the world. Someone had taken control of the playlist, swapping your mix of what you liked to call, "gay club music" with Nettspend.
Still, no Hamzah.
You were starting to lose hope.
You went outside in an attempt to cool off. The view was the highlight of your new place. The city lights shined brightly as you looked down imagining what the rest of the world was doing tonight.
What he was doing.
Your head turned to see the steam rolling off the newly integrated pool on your balcony. Beside the view, it was your favorite part of the apartment, and one of the main reasons you fought so hard to secure this place. You looked back through the door you came from.
No one seemed to notice you were even gone.
You slowly removed the short dress you were wearing. As you kicked it to the side, you plunged into the warm water.
The warmth of the water wrapped around you, contrasting against the crisp night air. You let yourself float, eyes closed, taking in the sacred peacefulness. You felt your heart start to ache. You weren’t sure if it was the remnants of disappointment or the burn of anticipation that you couldn’t quite shake.
When you finally broke the surface, slicking your hair back and blinking against the city lights, your breath caught in your throat.
Hamzah was there.
Sitting by the edge of the pool, laying back on his arms, watching you with an unreadable expression. His dark eyes bore into yours with an expression almost unreadable The golden glow of the city cast soft shadows across his face, making the moment feel almost unreal.
You suddenly became acutely aware of your lack of clothes.
Your stomach twisted as embarrassment crept up your spine. You opened your mouth to speak, to explain, to maybe make a joke and defuse the tension, but nothing came out. He beat you to it.
“You always do this,” he said in a deep but quiet voice.
Your brows knitted together. “Do what?”
“Run away.”
You swallowed hard, shifting in the water as you hugged your arms around yourself. “I thought you were avoiding me.”
Hamzah let out a breath, shaking his head. “I wasn’t. I just… I needed to think.”
You nodded, though you weren’t entirely sure what to say to that. The air between you buzzed with an unspoken weight, the memory of your last encounter hanging between you like a feeling you couldn't shake.
Then, in the silence, he said it.
“I like you.”
Your heart stuttered.
“I’ve liked you for a while,” he continued, his voice softer now, like he wasn’t entirely sure how to say it. “And I freaked out when you got close because I didn’t know if you felt the same.”
You stared at him, chest rising and falling too quickly. The warmth of the pool did nothing to ease the chill spreading through your veins—not from fear, but from the sheer intensity of his words.
You started to move towards him.
Reaching for the ledge, you pushed yourself up slightly, just enough to get the bottom half of his clothes wet.
The space between you dissolves into nothing. Your fingers found his jaw, your fingers finally meeting at the side of his mouth before leaning in.
The moment his lips met yours, it was like everything clicked into place.
Your mouths moved against each other in fever as if you were both making up for lost time. Which you definitley were.
In one swift movement, he pulled you out of the water completely so that your drenched body was straddling his. The tension that had been lingering for weeks melted in the heat of the kiss. He tasted like the city night and something inherently him—something you had been wanting for longer than you cared to admit. His hands found your waist, fingers pressing into the slick fabric of your bra, grounding you in the reality of it all.
When you finally pulled away, foreheads touching, his breath mingling with yours, you couldn’t help but smile.
"So..." Hamzah said out of breath, "Who’s the lucky guest of honor?”
You shrugged, ignoring the way your pulse betrayed you. “Dunno. Just… felt like celebrating.”
He chuckled at this, something dark in his eyes shined as he leaned in close enough for only me to hear.
“Happy birthday, then,” he murmured, voice softer now.
Maybe—just maybe—the gamble had paid off.

Heartfelt Deception
Tumblr media
Law x reader (she/her)
Modern AU, fake-dating, friends-to-lovers, like one swear word.
Summary: Law asked you to attend a charity event his hospital is hosting as his fake girlfriend. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s happening on Valentine’s Day.
Words: 7.7k
Notes: For the Valentine’s Week event. I had this whole fake dating-to-hospital event idea for the ficmas event, but I scrapped it because I didn’t have much time to write it then. I’m so glad I did, though, because I think the story turned out much better for Valentine’s Day than it would have for Christmas.
English is not my first language
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Dr. Trafalgar Law was pacing back and forth in the small office of the hospital. His fingers drummed anxiously against the table as he read the charity event invitation for the fifth time, each glance making his pulse race a little faster.
The truth was, Law never liked events like this. Fundraisers, speeches, fake smiles—it all made him itch with discomfort. His introverted nature clashed with the expectations of being a ‘people person’ in the medical field, and the last thing he wanted was to attend an event where everyone would be looking at him.
A month ago, during yet another relentless round of coworkers begging him to attend an after-work gathering, Law had casually mentioned that he had plans. But instead of letting it go, they kept pressing, demanding to know why he was always declining invitations. Frustrated, he blurted out that he needed to spend time with his girlfriend. Before he could even think, the hospital buzzed with talk about his mysterious partner, one no one had ever met. Now, he was cornered into bringing his partner to the hospital's prestigious charity gala on Valentine’s Day. The irony wasn’t lost on him—his colleagues were all too eager to point out how fitting it was to host an event focused on heart issues on a day devoted to hearts.
As one of the hospital’s top cardiac surgeons, Law was expected to be a key speaker. Worse still, he was supposed to bring his girlfriend. But the problem? He didn’t have one.
There was only one person he could turn to—you.
“You want me to do what?!” you asked, your eyes wide with shock, your coffee cup momentarily forgotten in your hand.
He sighed, running a hand over his face in frustration. “I need you to go with me to that stupid gala as my girlfriend.”
Your brow furrowed as you set the cup down. “You're serious?”
“Why would I joke about something like this?”
“Why would you make up a girlfriend just to avoid gatherings?” you shot back, leaning back in your chair, arms crossed. “You could’ve just said you weren’t interested in going.”
He glanced down at the table, clearly agitated, his fingers tapping against the surface in a nervous rhythm. “It’s not that simple. I’ve already turned them down too many times. They won’t leave me alone. And now I’m expected to show up—with a date. It’s just… ridiculous.”
You leaned forward, elbows resting on the table, as you considered his words. “Why not just say you broke up recently?”
“Because it’s obvious. Then I lose that excuse for the future,” he said, picking up his cup and drinking from it.
You stared at him for a long moment, trying to wrap your head around the absurdity of it all. “So, you want me to pretend to be your girlfriend for one night, just so you can avoid more gatherings down the line?”
“Yes,” he said simply, as if it were the most logical solution in the world.
You shook your head, unable to help the small laugh that escaped you. “You’re ridiculous. When is this supposed to happen?”
“February 14th,” he replied, avoiding your gaze.
Your eyebrows shot up. “Valentine’s Day?”
He rolled his eyes, clearly irritated. “Yeah, they thought they were being so clever with that one.”
A grin tugged at the corners of your lips. You couldn’t resist teasing him. “So, is this your way of asking me to be your Valentine?”
He groaned, dragging a hand down his face. “Who’s being ridiculous now?” But then, with a sly smirk, he added, “So... you’re in?”
A long pause hung in the air as you considered his request. The idea of pretending to be his girlfriend was insane, yes. Pretending to be someone’s girlfriend—for Valentine’s Day, no less—was the kind of thing you’d laugh about in a bad rom-com. But the look on his face was impossible to ignore. Desperation, tinged with just enough pride to keep him from outright begging.
Finally, you sighed, crossing your arms as if it might shield you from the insanity you were about to agree to. “Fine. But you owe me big time for this.”
“Don’t worry,” The smirk on his face widened into a grin, and you wondered what exactly you’d just gotten yourself into. “I’ll make it up to you. I promise.”
And with that, you sealed your fate.
The day of the event had finally arrived. Law was at your door, punctual as always, ready to pick you up just as you'd arranged. He stood there, dressed impeccably—his sharp suit tailored to perfection, exuding confidence and elegance. You tried your hardest not to stare too much, but it was impossible not to notice how effortlessly he pulled it all off.
“Ready?” His voice broke through your thoughts.
“Just a moment,” you replied, your voice betraying your hesitation as you moved closer to the mirror. You needed to make sure everything was just right. You were dressed in the outfit that made you feel good about yourself and was fitting for such an event. Yet, despite all the preparation, a knot of nerves twisted in your stomach. The idea of pretending to be Law's girlfriend made you nervous, no matter how hard you tried to pretend it did not. 
He sighed when you took your sweet time. “Can you stop checking yourself out?”
You glanced at him, an eyebrow arched. “Sorry for making sure people won’t judge your taste too much...” you muttered, half-amused, half-defensive.
He scoffed as he moved closer, looking at you in the mirror. “Like I care what people think.” Then, with a pause, he added, his voice quieter, almost... sincere, “Besides, you look... stunning.”
You froze for a moment, surprised by his words. “Really?”
“Yes,” he answered, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. His gaze softened, and you swore you saw a hint of admiration there.
“Um, thanks. And... you look amazing too.”
He cleared his throat, slightly uncomfortable but trying to hide it. “Let’s just go, shall we?” 
“You're sure this will work, right?” Law muttered as he turned to face you. 
“Yes, it’ll work.” You flashed a confident grin, trying to reassure him, though you were just as uncertain as he was. “You’re the one who got us into this mess.”
“I can’t believe I’m actually doing this.”
“Well, I can’t believe you made up a girlfriend in the first place,” you shot back. “But here we are.”
He sighed, running a hand over his face again, not sure whether to laugh or groan. It was one thing to get himself into this mess, but dragging you in was entirely a different matter. The pressure was mounting on both of you. Could you really pull this off? 
Then you caught his eye. A flicker of humor, a spark of something you couldn’t quite place, passed between you, and at that moment, you knew you could. Maybe this absurd charade wasn’t as impossible as it seemed.
He let out a long breath and straightened his posture, his decision made. “Alright, fine. Let’s get this over with.”
“Lead the way, then,” you replied, your tone playful, despite the nerves you were still trying to suppress.
He gave a curt nod, opening the door and holding it for you. With that, you stepped into the venue. The Valentine’s Day theme was apparent everywhere—soft pink and red lighting bathed the space, heart-shaped centerpieces adorned every table, and a live jazz band played romantic melodies in the background. You looked over at him and snorted, seeing his expression.
“I take it Valentine’s Day isn’t your favorite holiday?” you teased softly, leaning just close enough so he could hear without anyone else catching on.
Law’s gaze flickered to you, his brow arching slightly. “What gave it away?” he replied dryly, expending his arm to you.
“Oh, just a hunch,” you said with a small smile, slipping your hands through his arm. “You’re doing great, though. Really selling the whole ‘romantic evening’ thing.”
Law’s expression didn’t shift much, but there was a faint twitch at the corner of his lips that told you he wasn’t entirely immune to your teasing. “I’m thrilled you think so,” he muttered as he led you through the crowd. You caught glimpses of the people who had been whispering about Law's relationship for weeks. Their eyes fell on you both with curiosity.
“Dr. Trafalgar!” one of the nurses called out, waving excitedly. She eyed you with a wide smile. “Is this your girlfriend?”
Law’s face remained neutral. “Yes,” he answered smoothly and introduced you.
The nurse let out a little squeal of delight. “It’s so nice to finally meet you!” she exclaimed. “We’ve all been dying to know more about Dr. Trafalgar’s mysterious girlfriend.”
You gave a polite smile, taking the opportunity to slip into the role. “It's a pleasure to meet you, too. He talks a lot about his team,” you said lightly, with a little twinkle in your eye as you glanced at Law. He rolled his eyes but didn’t say anything.
The nurse beamed, clearly thrilled to be part of the conversation. “Oh, I'm sure he does,” she said, her eyes still sparkling as she looked from you to Law. “It’s rare to see him... charming.” Her voice dropped to a playful whisper, though it was clear she wasn’t trying to keep it a secret. “We always wondered what kind of woman could put up with him.”
You gave a small, modest laugh, sensing the opportunity to keep the conversation flowing. “He’s not as difficult as he looks.” You turned to Law, flashing him a playful smile. “And I'm quite lucky he let me in.”
Law’s eyes narrowed ever so slightly, but he quickly masked it with his usual impassive expression. “Enough about me,” he said smoothly, redirecting the conversation. “Let’s get you something to drink.” He turned toward the drink table, clearly eager to move on.
As the two of you moved through the gala, a sense of ease settled between you. The people who approached were friendly, curious, and all too eager to meet the mysterious woman who had somehow captured the heart of the elusive surgeon. Law, as always, seemed somewhat distant, but there was a subtle shift in his demeanor, as if the weight of the event was just a little lighter with you by his side.
“Well, well, if it isn't the lovely girlfriend!” Shachi grinned, giving you a dramatic bow before standing up straight again. “You look awesome.”
You couldn’t help but smile. “Thanks, Shachi. You certainly know how to flatter a girl.”
Penguin let out a low, amused chuckle from behind him. “Yeah, well, Law’s been talking about you for weeks,” he added. “He was so worried about you not showing up and ruining his perfect plan. I’m surprised you agreed to it, honestly.”
You gave Penguin a knowing smile. “What can I say? Someone had to save his ass.” You shot a quick glance at Law, who stood beside you, his expression neutral, but you caught the faintest twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Shachi leaned casually against the table, clearly enjoying himself, and turned to Law with a mischievous glint in his eye. “So, how does it feel to finally have a real girlfriend? I mean, I’ve been hearing rumors about this for a while, but you’re actually pulling it off, huh?”
Law rolled his eyes but didn’t respond immediately, though you could tell he was trying to keep his cool. “This will be a long night,” he muttered under his breath, but his friends were far too eager to let him off the hook.
Shachi’s grin only grew wider. “I’m just curious—how’s the ‘relationship’ going so far?” He glanced at Law, whose jaw was tight, clearly trying to suppress his frustration. “Any sparks flying between the two of you yet?”
“Shachi,” Law said in warning, but he wasn’t listening. Law rolled his eyes, though there was a slight curve to his lips, as if even he couldn’t help but be somewhat entertained by his friends' antics. “I told you I didn’t need this kind of commentary tonight,” he muttered.
“Yeah, yeah,” Shachi continued, entirely ignoring Law’s attempts to rein him in. “But it’s so much more fun when we do comment.” He threw an arm around Penguin’s shoulder, giving him an exaggerated nudge. “So, Dr. Trafalgar, how’s it feel having your friends finally meet your ‘girlfriend’? You look so… happy.”
You couldn’t help but laugh, shaking your head at their antics. “I’m sure Law’s thrilled by all the attention,” you said, playing the part, your voice dripping with sarcasm.
Law cast you a sideways glance, but there was something warmer in his eyes than before. “Let’s just get through tonight, shall we?” he said, attempting his best authoritative tone, though there was a clear undertone of amusement, as if he was enjoying it just a little more than he let on.
Just as the playful back-and-forth was beginning to die down, a loud, familiar voice cut through the chatter from across the room.
“YOOO! Look who it is!” 
Usopp’s boisterous voice rang out, and you barely had time to brace yourself before he was at your side, grinning like a mischievous cat. He was joined by Kaya, who was looking stunning in an elegant dress, her eyes sparkling as she waved.
Shit. How had you not considered the possibility that Usopp would be here? Kaya was a nurse at the same hospital as Law, and of course, she’d bring him as her plus-one.
“Usopp, Kaya,” you greeted with a smile, trying to remain composed despite the sudden attention being drawn your way. Usopp's loud voice had already caused a ripple of curiosity to spread through the crowd.
Usopp’s gaze darted between you and Law, clearly processing something. “Wait a minute… what are you doing here?” he asked. His voice was just loud enough for the people around you to overhear, making you feel the weight of every set of eyes now shifting in your direction.
You glanced at Law, who was now wearing a mask of calm—though you could tell by the subtle shift in his posture that he wasn’t exactly comfortable with the situation. You quickly shot him an apologetic look, trying to keep things as casual as possible. “Isn't it obvious — I’m with Law,” you said with a playful shrug, hoping your tone would deflect any suspicion and begging to whatever higher power that Usopp won't blow your cover. 
Usopp blinked, his eyes widening in disbelief, as if you’d just dropped a bombshell. “With Law?!” His voice jumped an octave, loud enough to draw even more attention, and you felt the heat of a dozen curious stares. Your stomach churned as the pressure mounted.
“Well yeah, we’re dating,” you said quickly, trying to offer him a pointed look that screamed for him to lower his voice. You didn’t look forward to clearing that lie later, though.
“What?!” Usopp exclaimed again, louder this time, and you fought the urge to physically drag him into a quieter corner.
“Oh, for fuck's sake, don't be so loud,” you hissed, your smile strained as you resisted the urge to clamp a hand over his mouth. You just needed him to stop.
Your words earned a sharp glance from Law, who was now standing as still as a statue, his jaw tight and his eyes dark with irritation. Though his face remained unreadable to most, you could detect the flicker of unease behind his usually impenetrable demeanor.
Usopp sharp eye for detail and relentless curiosity meant he was undoubtedly piecing things together in real-time, and the last thing you needed was for him to say something he really shouldn't.
Kaya, sensing the tension, stepped in smoothly. “Usopp,” she said, with a small but knowing smile, “maybe we should let them enjoy the night.” She gently nudged his arm, giving you an apologetic look. “It’s good to see you both. I hope you’re having a good time tonight.”
You smiled, grateful for her presence. “We’re managing,” you replied before gesturing toward her. “And you? How’s the night treating you so far?”
She laughed softly. “Oh, it’s been lovely. Usopp keeps insisting he’s the best plus-one anyone could ask for.”
“Because I am!” Usopp interjected, puffing out his chest.
"Nah, I'm way better, right, darling?" you asked playfully, turning to your date. 
Law let out a quiet, measured sigh, his eyes narrowing slightly at Usopp, who was still watching far too intently for comfort. Recognizing that all eyes were now firmly on the two of you, he shifted gears seamlessly. 
Without missing a beat, he slid an arm around your waist and pulled you a fraction closer. His hand rested lightly yet possessively against your side as he glanced down at you with a smirk.  "Obviously." 
The gesture—and his confident tone—left Usopp momentarily speechless, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. Even Kaya seemed surprised, her eyes darting between the two of you before a knowing smile tugged at her lips.
You couldn’t help but smile, both at Law’s quick thinking and the way his response seemed to silence any further speculation from Usopp. “See?” you teased lightly, shooting Usopp a pointed look. “Told you.”
Usopp opened his mouth, clearly ready to say something outrageous, but Kaya quickly stepped in, tugging on his arm with a bright laugh. “Come on, Usopp. Let’s grab some appetizers" 
“This isn’t over,” he muttered under his breath, but he allowed Kaya to steer him toward the other end of the room. You gave her a grateful smile.
“That was close,” you muttered, glancing up at Law. His hand was still resting lightly on your waist.
He tilted his head down toward you, his expression calm but laced with the faintest trace of amusement. “You call that close?”
“Oh, come on,” you whispered back with a grin. “You’ve got to admit, Usopp almost blew it.”
Law’s lips quirked upward in a barely-there smirk. “Almost,” he conceded. Then, lowering his voice  even more and murmuring into your ear, he added, “But I don’t mind setting the record straight when needed.”
The way his voice dipped sent a small shiver down your spine, but you quickly composed yourself, stepping slightly closer to him under the pretense of hearing him better.
“Well, you handled it like a pro, Dr. Trafalgar,” you teased softly, leaning just enough to let your words reach his ear.
“Hmm,” he hummed noncommittally.
Before you could respond, the event coordinator’s voice echoed through the hall, announcing the upcoming speeches. The room shifted as the crowd began to find their seats, murmurs of anticipation filling the air.
“You’re up soon,” you reminded him. Reaching out, you placed a reassuring hand on his arm. “You’ve got this,” you said confidently.
He glanced at you, his eyes locking onto yours for a beat, searching for something—maybe reassurance, maybe just the comfort of familiarity—before he nodded, a small but grateful gesture. “Thanks.”
As he made his way toward the stage, you couldn’t help but watch him with a sense of pride, your heart swelling with admiration. Even surrounded by the polished elegance of the event and the watchful eyes of so many people, he carried himself with an unshakable determination.
When he reached the podium, the crowd fell silent. He cleared his throat, taking a moment before launching into the speech. He spoke about the advancements in medicine, the importance of community support, and the life-changing surgeries that the hospital’s team performed. But when he mentioned his team and thanked everyone for their hard work, his gaze subtly flickered toward you.
For a moment, he dropped the cold exterior. “None of this would be possible without the support of everyone here,” he said. “And a special thanks to my friends and…my better half, who has been my constant rock. It’s easy to get lost in the hospital. But she keeps me grounded.”
The sincerity in his words was unmistakable. His eyes lingered on you for a fraction of a second—long enough for you to feel the weight of his gratitude—before he looked away, the professional composure sliding back into place effortlessly.
The applause that followed was thunderous, but you barely heard it over the warmth blooming in your chest. As Law stepped down from the podium, his expression was back to its usual stoicism, but the slight flush to his cheeks and the quick glance he shot your way told you everything.
As the applause slowly died down, Law made his way back toward you, weaving through the clusters of guests who offered him brief nods and congratulatory remarks. His posture was relaxed, but you could see the faint tension in the set of his shoulders—a clear sign that he was bracing for your inevitable teasing.
When he finally reached you, you wasted no time, leaning in with a mischievous grin. “For someone who wanted to ‘get through the night,’ you sure know how to captivate an audience,” you teased. “And what was that about ‘the one who keeps me grounded’? Are you getting sentimental on me?”
He stopped in front of you, hands sliding casually into his pockets as his eyes met yours. “Don’t start,” he muttered, though there was no real bite in his tone. “I said what needed to be said.”
“Oh, I see,” you replied, crossing your arms and tilting your head. “So, I’m just ‘what needed to be said’ now?”
A faint smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth as he leaned in slightly, his voice low enough that only you could hear. “If you’d prefer, I can take it all back.”
“Not a chance,” you shot back, unable to keep the playful edge out of your voice. “It’s on record now. Everyone here knows I’m the one keeping you grounded.”
Before he could respond, Shachi and Penguin appeared, clearly having caught at least part of the exchange. Shachi was grinning ear to ear, while Penguin’s expression held a more subdued amusement.
“That speech was something else,” Shachi said, clapping Law on the back with exaggerated enthusiasm. “Especially that part about being grounded. You’re getting soft.”
Law’s glare shifted to Shachi, though it lacked any real venom. “Don’t you have someone else to annoy?” he asked, his voice dry.
“Not when you’re providing this much entertainment,” Shachi shot back without missing a beat.
Law rolled his eyes but didn’t bother responding, clearly deciding it wasn’t worth the effort. Instead, he turned his attention back to you. “Are you enjoying yourself yet?” he asked
You pretended to consider his question, tapping a finger to your chin. “Hmm... between the impromptu Usopp interrogation, the surprise shout-out during your speech, and Shachi’s relentless commentary?” You grinned. “Yeah, I’d say I’m having a great time.”
Law’s exhale was sharp, but his lips twitched upward in a reluctant smile. “Good,” he muttered. “At least one of us is.”
Just as you were forming your response, the event coordinator approached the two of you with a bright smile. “Dr. Trafalgar, your presence is requested for some photos with the donors,” she said, her gaze flicking to you briefly. “And, of course, your lovely girlfriend is welcome to join.”
Law hesitated, his eyes narrowing slightly. You could practically hear the gears turning in his head as he weighed the pros and cons of dragging you into yet another spotlight moment.
You decided to save him the trouble. “We’d be happy to,” you said smoothly, looping your arm through his. “Right, darling?”
The look he shot you was nothing short of murderous, but you only smiled sweetly, patting his arm as the coordinator led you both toward the photographer’s setup.
After the photos, you wandered back to the main room, weaving through the crowd. You spotted Usopp and Kaya near the dessert table, Usopp animatedly telling a story while Kaya giggled beside him. Heart-shaped chocolates and delicate pastries adorned the table, and you decided to grab a couple of treats before heading back to your corner of the room.
“Here,” you said, holding out a piece of chocolate to Law as you both settled near the bar.
He eyed it skeptically. “What’s this?”
“Chocolate,” you replied, popping one into your mouth. “It’s Valentine’s Day. You’re supposed to eat chocolate. It’s practically a rule.”
Law sighed, but he took the chocolate from your hand, his fingers brushing yours briefly in the exchange. He bit into it. “It’s good,” he admitted after a moment.
You smirked. “See? Valentine’s Day isn’t all bad.”
He gave you a sidelong glance. “You’re enjoying this far too much.”
You just grinned wider and shrugged. Despite the occasional hiccup—like Usopp’s not-so-subtle attempts to sneak more information out of you—it was hard to deny that you and Law actually did have a great time. The whole evening felt surprisingly natural, even with the added touches and pet names that came with playing your part.
But as the night went on, the carefully constructed charade began to blur, leaving you to wonder if there was something genuine simmering beneath the surface. A fleeting warmth in the way he looked at you, a brush of his hand that lingered just a moment too long. You quickly shook the thought away before it could root itself further.
“You know,” you started, breaking the silence, “Usopp already texted everyone the news.”
Law’s brow furrowed as he glanced at you. “What news?”
You raised an eyebrow, giving him a pointed look.
“Oh. Right,” he said, the realization dawning on his face.
“Yeah,” you chuckled, crossing your arms. “I had to turn my sound off completely—the group chat went insane.”
Law let out a soft groan and reached for his phone, pulling it from his pocket with a resigned air. He turned the phone toward you, revealing a string of increasingly enthusiastic messages from Luffy:
This is amaizing!!!!
I'M SO HAPPY!!!
GOOD FOR YOU!!!
WHEN DID THIS HAPEN??
Tell me evrything RIGHT NOW!!!
You burst out laughing, nearly doubling over as you read the flood of texts. Law pinched the bridge of his nose, muttering something about how ridiculous Luffy was, but the small, reluctant smirk tugging at his lips betrayed his amusement.
“Looks like someone’s excited for us,” you teased, still laughing.
Law rolled his eyes, though the faintest trace of a blush colored his cheeks. “Luffy’s always excited about something. This’ll blow over. We will explain it later or something.”
You swallowed your disappointment and tried to focus on anything other than the fact that today was not as real as it seemed. Your eyes drifted forward just as the band started playing a slow, romantic tune, and couples began drifting toward the dance floor. You could feel the weight of the moment pressing down, the atmosphere practically begging for you to make a move.
“Well, darling,” you said, extending your hand toward him with an exaggerated flourish. “Care to dance?”
Law stared at you, his expression caught somewhere between incredulous and amused. “You’re joking.”
“Not even a little,” you replied, wiggling your fingers. “It’s Valentine’s Day. What’s a fake relationship without a dance under the romantic lighting?”
He let out a quiet groan but took your hand anyway, his grip firm and steady. As he led you to the dance floor, you couldn’t help but marvel at how natural it felt.
For a moment, you both moved hesitantly, as if testing the waters. Law wasn’t one to engage in things like this—public displays of affection, no matter how fake, didn’t exactly come naturally to him. Yet, as the rhythm of the music settled between you, his movements became smoother, more confident. You matched his pace, the two of you falling into an unspoken synchrony.
“You’re better at this than I expected,” you murmured, glancing up at him.
“Don’t get used to it,” he replied, his voice low enough that only you could hear. “This isn’t exactly my idea of a great time.”
You chuckled, your fingers instinctively tightening their grip on his shoulder. “Could’ve fooled me. You’re surprisingly good at this.”
He raised an eyebrow, his eyes flickering with amusement. “Surprisingly?”
“Well,” you said with a smirk, “you don’t exactly scream ‘slow-dance enthusiast.’
Law huffed softly, but there was no real irritation behind it. He was paying more attention to the way your body moved in sync with his, the way you shifted your weight with each step.
The scent of his cologne was subtle but intoxicating, and the way his eyes stayed locked on yours made it impossible to look away.
“This isn’t so bad,” you murmured, almost to yourself.
“I’ll take that as a compliment.”
“It was meant as one,” you said, your thumb gently brushing the fabric of his suit jacket.  “I know this isn’t exactly your scene. Thanks for humoring me.”
For a moment, something shifted in his expression. The guardedness that usually defined him seemed to waver, replaced by something more vulnerable, something unspoken. His grip on your waist tightened ever so slightly, pulling you closer, and the distance between you narrowed until you could feel the faint brush of his chest against yours.
“You’re doing all of this for me, the least I can do is survive dancing for your sake,” he answered in his usual manner, and yet, it sounded somehow warmer. Then he added teasingly, “darling”
You tried to diminish how much you loved that nickname coming from his lips.
As the music faded, applause broke out around the room, snapping you back to reality. Law stepped back slightly, his hand falling away from your waist, but the warmth of his touch stayed. He looked at you for a moment longer, his gaze searching, before he cleared his throat and glanced away, the mask of composure slipping back into place.
“Let’s get off the dance floor,” he said, his tone returning to its usual cool detachment. But there was a faint flush to his cheeks that you couldn’t ignore.
“Not bad for someone who doesn’t like Valentine’s Day,” you teased, keeping your tone light, even though your heartbeat had quickened as you followed him off the dancefloor.
Law smirked faintly, his amber eyes locking onto yours. “I never said I didn’t like it,” he replied. “Just that it’s… unnecessary.”
“Unnecessary?” You arched a brow, tilting your head. “Celebrating love and connection? That sounds pretty necessary to me.”
His grin grew. “If you need a commercial holiday to remind you of that, you’re doing something wrong.”
You couldn’t help but laugh softly at his bluntness. “Touché,” you admitted, the moment feeling strangely intimate despite the dozens of other couples around you. He put his hand on your back and gently led you to sit down in the corner. You sat in silence for a moment before speaking again.
“So, are you enjoying the night yet? Or are you still counting down the minutes until it’s over?”
Law let out a quiet chuckle. “I’m surviving,” he replied dryly, though the corners of his lips twitched as though he couldn’t fully keep the amusement from showing. “If I’m being honest, it’s… not as bad as I thought it would be,” he looked sheepish as he added. “Your presence makes it more bearable.”
A warmth blossomed in your chest at his words, and before you could stop yourself, you leaned in slightly, your cheek brushing his shoulder. You felt him stiffen for a split second, but then he relaxed, putting his head on yours.
“I didn’t think I’d be… enjoying it,” he continued, his fingers brushing through your hair as if absentmindedly. “But I think I might’ve been wrong.”
You lifted your head slightly to look at him, finding his gaze already locked on yours. There was no mask of indifference now—just a rare moment of vulnerability, one that you hadn’t often seen. It was disarming. His hand gently cupped the side of your face, his thumb brushing across your cheekbone, and you could feel the slight tremor in his fingers.
Your heart fluttered unexpectedly, and you were unsure of what to say, or even if you should say anything at all. The quiet, unspoken understanding between you was enough.
“Well, well, well! Look at you two, all cozy!”
It was Shachi, followed closely by Penguin, and some other colleagues of Law from the hospital.  You froze for a split second, pulling away from Law just as his hand dropped from your cheek. Both of you turned toward the intruder, finding a group of Law’s colleagues standing a few feet away.
One of the surgeons, a tall man with a broad grin, chuckled as he shook his head. “Honestly, Law, I didn’t think you were the type to be so… affectionate,” he said with a dramatic sigh, his eyebrows wiggling playfully.
Law’s face immediately shifted to that calm, composed mask he wore so well, but you could see the hint of a blush creeping up his neck. He scoffed. “What did you expect? For me to keep five feet away from someone I care about?”
“We’re just surprised,” the nurse you spoke with first today, smiled softly at the two of you. “But it’s nice to see you so… relaxed. We don’t usually get to see this side of you.” Her tone wasn’t mocking; instead, it held a kind, almost approving quality.
It was clear that they all weren’t just teasing for the sake of teasing—they were happy to see him like this. This side of Law, the one who didn’t always hide behind his usual walls, was a rare sight for most people.
“I guess there’s a first time for everything,” Law muttered, clearly trying to keep the situation under control while simultaneously not looking entirely displeased.
As if they couldn’t resist, one of the younger doctors, a woman with long hair and a teasing smile, smirked at you and asked, “So, come on, how did you two get together? Law didn’t want to say a word about it.” His grin widened as he leaned in, clearly waiting for some kind of juicy story.
You chuckled, glancing at Law, who raised an eyebrow at you as if daring you to come up with an appropriate response.
“Of course he didn’t,” you said with a laugh, nudging him playfully. “He’s never been the type to spill the details, has he?”
Shachi smirked knowingly. “Come on, Law,” he prodded. “We’re dying to know the real story.”
“Well,” you interjected, grinning as you looked at the group. “If you're looking for something juicy, I’m afraid I have to disappoint. We were just good friends for quite a while before it just clicked that there’s more and there’s no running from it. So, with a kiss, we sealed the deal, and are together just like that.” It seemed like a story that could be real, that would suit you both, and what kind of people you are together.
“That’s actually a pretty decent story, considering how tight-lipped you’ve been, Law,” he remarked with a teasing grin.
Law shot him a sidelong glance. “I’m not in the habit of sharing my private life with everyone,” he muttered dryly.
The woman with long hair, clearly delighted by the revelation, nudged Shachi playfully. “Well, it’s good to know Law isn’t entirely immune to matters of the heart. Who knew?” she said with a wink, clearly enjoying the rare opportunity to see her usually composed colleague looking slightly flustered.
Law’s eyes narrowed slightly, but the edge of his expression had softened. “I never said I was,” he replied, though there was a faint hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth now.
You smiled at him, savoring the fact that, despite his usual reticence, he hadn’t shut down the conversation.
“Well, now that we’ve got that out of the way,” you said to the group, “any more questions?
“Not if you want to keep your secrets,” Shachi teased. “I think we’ve learned enough for tonight.”
“Although…” Penguin started to say with a mischievous grin
“Alright, alright,” Law interjected, probably scared that more question may blow your cover. “You’ve had your fun.”
The playful banter continued for a few more moments, with the group lightheartedly poking fun at Law, but without pushing too far. It was clear they were genuinely enjoying seeing him in a different light. Even you couldn't help but smile at how the evening had turned out.
“Alright,” you said, nudging Law lightly with your elbow, “I think we’ve officially survived the interrogation. How about we grab some drinks and escape before they start asking for our love story in full detail?” you whispered.
Law smirked at you, his expression softening just slightly. “Fine by me,” he said, standing up and offering you a hand. “Excuse us for a moment.”
You took his hand, your fingers curling around his with ease. He led you both to the bar and ordered your drinks. When you took them, you found seats nearby.
“They have a point, you know,” you said, leaning back in your seat, sipping your drink as you shot him a teasing glance. “You’re surprisingly sweet with me.”
Law shot you a look, but his lips twitched upward in the barest hint of a smile. “Don’t start,” he warned, though there was no bite to his words.
You leaned in slightly, lowering your voice as if sharing a secret. “I’m just saying, the way you act tonight—” you paused, letting the words linger in the air, “it’s... kind of adorable.”
“You’re walking a fine line,” he murmured, his tone just low enough that only you could hear, and there was that familiar spark of challenge in it.
You grinned. “I think the real question is, why do you make it so easy for me to tease you?” You leaned back again, propping your elbow on the armrest, your eyes glinting with playful mischief. “Maybe I’m onto something.”
“You’re lucky I don’t have a stronger reaction to you, or I’d make sure you regret that.”
You raised an eyebrow, surprised by the hint of seriousness in his voice. “Oh? Is that a threat, darling?” you asked, half-challenging, half-curious.
He leaned in just slightly, his gaze softening but still intense. “Only if you push your luck too far,” he replied. It was supposed to be a warning, and yet it sounded way…warmer.
Before you could respond, the sound of laughter from across the room caught your attention, and you noticed some of Law’s colleagues still milling about, their eyes frequently darting toward the two of you. They probably thought their glances were subtle, but they really weren’t.
You leaned in slightly, lowering your voice as you glanced at the group. “Wanna bet they’re talking about us?”
Law smirked, his gaze flicking toward the group before returning to you. “I’m not betting against something that is 100% true,” he replied dryly.
You chuckled softly, lifting your drink to your lips as you watched them huddle together in hushed conversation, clearly intrigued by the dynamic between the two of you. The whole thing was both amusing and oddly satisfying, considering how little effort you'd actually put into keeping this charade together.
“So,” you said, breaking the silence with a light tone, “what now? Do we stick around and continue surviving this ‘unnecessary’ holiday, or do we make our grand exit?”
Law let out a soft sigh, almost as if he were weighing the options. “I think we’ve done enough, surviving for one night,” he said, standing and offering his hand to you with a knowing glint in his eyes. “Come on. Let’s get out of here.”
You took his hand, your fingers wrapping around his with the familiar ease. “I like the sound of that.” 
As you made your way toward the exit, you said your goodbyes to everyone, your eyes catching a few lingering, amused glances from Law's colleagues.
“Well, I think we’ve both survived tonight, haven’t we?” you asked, looking at him with a teasing look, trying to gauge his mood as you stepped outside.
His gaze softened, and a small, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corners of his lips. “I suppose we have,” he said, his voice quieter now. “Though, I’m not sure what’s worse—the questions or your teasing.”
You laughed lightly, squeezing his hand gently. “I think you can handle both.”
“Apparently,” he said, his thumb brushing over the back of your hand.
Instead of calling for a taxi, Law started leading you toward the nearby park. You certainly didn’t mind the extra time with him—after the whirlwind of the evening, the peaceful solitude of the park felt like a perfect escape.
When you reached a bench by a small pond, Law sat down, and you followed suit, the two of you settling next to each other. For a few moments, neither of you said anything. It felt like the perfect continuation of the night—no more questions, no more performances, just the two of you.
“Thank you,” Law said sincerely.
You glanced at him, surprised by the unexpected gratitude in his tone. “You're welcome,” you replied easily, your lips curving into a small smile. “I had fun.”
“You did?”
“Yeah,” you answered, your smile widening a little. “Did you?”
“I did actually.”
“Good” you said simply. “You know now that they’ll just bother and tease you about me, right?” you added after a moment.
He gave you a side-glance, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips, but his gaze softened as it lingered on you. “I can survive that.”
You sat in silence, the quiet comfortable, with your hand still intertwined with his, even though there was no one around that you had to pretend for.
After a while, Law spoke quietly, “That story…
“Huh?” You blinked, trying to recall what he might be referring to.
“About how we apparently came to be… you made it quite believable.” You suddenly remembered your words from earlier: We were just good friends for quite a while before it just clicked that there’s more and there’s no running from it. So, with a kiss, we sealed the deal, and are together just like that.
“Well…um it sounded plausible, did it not?” you said, as you tried to brush off the nerves creeping up.
“It did.” Silence fell again, but this time, it felt different. You wrecked your head as to what to say. You looked at him, hoping for something to break the tension, and found his gaze already focused on you. The intensity of it made it harder to find the right words.
But you didn’t have to say anything—his lips found yours in a tender kiss, slow and gentle, as if testing the waters for something deeper. The world around you seemed to fade away as you leaned into the kiss, your fingers threading through his hair. The moment felt suspended in time, perfect in its simplicity.
When he finally pulled back, his hand still resting against your cheek, you noticed a subtle smile playing at the corners of his lips. It was the kind of smile that made your chest tighten, the kind that carried a quiet promise, and the warmth that spread through you was more than just the remnants of the kiss.
“Well, that solidifies that it was all true.”
You heard the familiar voice of Usopp. The sudden intrusion snapped you out of the trance the moment had put you in.
You rolled your eyes, not even glancing in his direction, your focus remaining entirely on Law. “Get lost, Nose-ya. Now,” Law muttered, his voice stern, his gaze unwavering from yours.
“Alright, alright, I’m going!” Usopp chuckled, but you weren’t about to let his teasing ruin your moment, not when it felt so real, so raw. You kept your focus on Law, and for a few seconds, there was just the two of you again, the world falling away once more.
“So, is my story true then?” you asked, a playful glint in your eyes.
“Yeah, it is,” he replied, his voice steady but carrying that quiet confidence you’d grown accustomed to.
You let out a soft laugh, shaking your head in disbelief. “Can’t believe it happened on Valentine’s Day, after pretending to date for an event.”
“Maybe Valentine's Day isn't so bad after all,” he said, the words almost an afterthought. And you couldn’t help but agree as you tugged him closer, your lips finding his in a kiss that was even more intense than the first.
When you finally pulled back, both of you breathless, you looked into his eyes, and something settled in your chest—this was just the beginning of something, something you both weren’t willing to let go of. It was there in the way he looked at you, the way he held you close. You could feel it in your bones that whatever this was, it was real. And it was only just starting.
“Maybe you’re right,” you whispered, your thumb gently brushing over his hand. “Valentine’s Day might not be so bad… when it ends like this.”
He smirked at you, a flicker of that usual sharpness returning, but it was tempered by the tenderness that had emerged throughout the night. “We’ll see if you still feel that way next year,” he said, the challenge in his voice playful, but there was no mistaking the certainty in his words.
Your eyes sparkled with mischief as you leaned in slightly, teasing him. “You wanna fake-date me for Valentine’s Day next year too?”
His expression softened, the usual sharpness in his gaze replaced by something more tender as his hand brushed gently across your cheek. “No,” he replied quietly, his voice warm and sincere. “I want to be with you—for real.”

i was gonna cut it in half, but you get 2k for Valentine's Day <3
<< thirteen | 😺 | fifteen >>
Tumblr media
Eddie asks Wayne where is a good place to make key copies, and drafts a plan. He'll go to Steph's salon, pick up her keys, make a copy for her, and drop them back before she leaves work. Just a tiny good deed from a friendly neighbour, so she doesn't have to juggle her one set between cat feeders and whatnot. 
Except Wayne sees through him immediately and throws a bucket of cold water on his enthusiasm.
"While I fully support whatever you two are doing..." He promptly raises his hand so Eddie would spare him any of the explanations brewing behind his lips. "I think this would be a little too much."
"How?" Eddie frowns, confused.
"Well, a bachelor she has just met is asking for her keys to make copies. It's a little too much too fast, don't you think?"
Eddie opens his mouth, closes it. Frowns.
"Maybe?"
"How would you feel if a new friend thought they know better how many keys you should own?" Wayne raises his eyebrows. "And took it upon themself to do it for you?"
"Okay, fine, I hear you!" Eddie groans, throwing his hands up. 
Wayne sips on his coffee, now calm enough that his nephew won't do something too stupid. 
"With that said, I too think it's silly to not have a spare."
"Thank you," Eddie murmurs, drumming his fingers against his cup. "So what do I do?"
"Buy her flowers, ever heard of it?" Wayne raises his eyebrow. 
Eddie twists his mouth, unconvinced with the idea. 
"I don't know, it sounds pretty forward..."
Wayne almost snorts his coffee out of his nose.
Tumblr media
Eddie follows the blanket permission he got the last day and walks up to Steph's apartment around the same time. Since he felt that bringing her flowers would be too much, he settled on cookies from his favorite bakery. They could share them with coffee or tea, and it wouldn't be too weird. 
It's just...
He really hopes they could actually talk.
When he opens the doors labeled 54, he's hit with the smell of spices. Steph leans through the kitchen door to greet him.
"Hi! I'm making fried rice, do you want some?"
Eddie nods, curbing the desire to come over and kiss her.
"Yeah, it smells good." He steps into the kitchen, setting the cookies on the counter. "Can I help with something?"
Steph keeps stirring for a second, before she points to one of the cupboards.
"Take out two bowls, please?" she asks.
Eddie's been in the apartment all alone, and he's looked through Steph's stuff to some extent. Opening cupboards while she's cooking shouldn't feel as thrilling as it does. 
When she finishes the food, he grabs beers for the two of them, and they move to the the living room again, a movie already waiting to be played.
"Is Willow okay?" she asks, hovering over the play button, and Eddie's eyes couldn't go any wider. Only one lamp is left on in the room, and the TV is illuminating Steph like an angel offering him the finest pleasures in life. 
"Is the sky blue?" he shoots back. "It's one of my favorites." 
She smiles, all self satisfied and wide, like she already knew he'll love the movie. 
Eddie tilts his head, eyeing her suspiciously. 
"Did Wayne tell you?"
Steph shakes her head 'no'. 
"It was a lucky guess," she admits coyly. 
Oh, to be known like that by another human. Have someone with enough intimate knowledge of him to guess his thoughts, pick out things they know he'll like. She knows he'll like. 
Eddie does like the movie, but he wishes it was something boring so they could talk. Of course, he's also enjoying having Steph pressed against his shoulder, and the movie is a great excuse to just be in her presence, without the responsible adult communication thing. 
It's when she gets up asking if he wants another beer, when he realizes he's been too engrossed in the movie. 
"Uh, I'm not even halfway," he says, moving the bottle in his hand. 
"But are you gonna drink more?"
"Probably," he shrugs. 
She brings back another four beers, and as this time he's paying attention, he notices she's already drunk a fair amount of the one she's holding.
"Everything okay?" he asks gently. He doesn't remember Steph drinking this fast, or this much, during their previous hang-outs. And it's a weekday, too.
"Mhm, yep." She plops down next to him heavily, but even the weight of her body against him doesn't soothe his nerves. On the contrary. It's easy to tell she's already tipsy, and she's planning to have at least two more beers, including the one in her hand. 
"Not to be a buzzkill, you know..." Eddie licks his lips nervously. "But you're drinking more than usual."
She makes an amused sound, deep in her throat.
"Tell that to my high school self."
"Well, I'm telling it to my adult friend Stephanie, I don't know that other one."
Steph huffs, staring at the screen.
"Good."
At loss of what else to say, he leans back against the couch, hoping the press of their shoulders will bring her some comfort his words apparently can't. He's turning to the TV, when she speaks up.
"I have something to tell you."
Eddie's eyes immediately go back to her, but she's staring ahead. 
"Yeah?" he prompts.
"After the movie."
He's confused and worried, but since she wants him to stay, it can't be anything bad, right?
"Okay," he says, feeling anything but. All the possible confessions are going through his mind, movie forgotten. The only things he's aware of are Steph's movements when she brings up the bottle to her lips, and her muscles flex against his arm, and his own racing thoughts. 
She's going to tell him she's a lesbian just like Robin. Maybe they're secretly a long distance couple, or she has a thing with Joyce. Or she has a man in another state. A secret family, a husband? What if she has a kid? Eddie would make a good step-dad, but he wasn't planning for that any time soon. Or maybe it's way simpler than that, and she'll finally tell him to stop, that she's not interested, never was. That Eddie, a metal musician still in college, isn't worth it. 
"I wasn't born a woman."
The credits are rolling on the screen, letters forming Eddie's miserable scenarios, and he's so focused on them he barely hears Steph's words. But finally, he turns his head towards her. She's slumped next to him, picking on the label of her empty beer bottle. He's so relieved he doesn't understand what's going on.
"I know." Not his best reaction but he can't believe she's been worried about it all this time, drinking just to tell him something he's already figured out.
Steph frowns, before turning to him with glassy eyes. 
"You know?"
He points to the collage on her wall.
"You have your old photos right there?"
She stares at the display like she's seeing it for the first time in her life. Her eyes widen with the realization and she makes a sound between a snort and a groan, head falling back. 
"Of course I fucking do."
Eddie drums his fingers against his beer bottle. He still has a couple of swings left. 
"Is that what you were so worried about?"
"Of course!" She throws out her hands angrily, startling him. "It's always 'do you not want me, Steph?' and then 'ew, you have a what?' or 'i always wanted to fuck someone like that' and honestly? At this point I don't know which one is worse. So yes, I was fucking worried!" 
Steph stands up angrily, swaying a little, but she quickly catches her balance. She starts gathering the empty bottles and Eddie rushes to help before she drops any and makes a mess, but she gathers them petulantly in her arms. 
"You can go, I got this," she says dismissively. 
"I want to help," he protests, hands held out uselessly. Steph marches to the kitchen, all the bottles pressed close to her chest. Eddie quickly follows, but she safely deposits them all in the sink and stares at them, expression hidden by her hair. 
"Stop sucking up to me. I'm not something to be scratched off a bucket list."
"What?" Eddie frowns. 
Steph finally turns towards him, and now he wishes she didn't. Her eyes are sad and angry and he doesn't like them directed at him like that. 
"Is that why you kissed me? Because you knew?"
'I always wanted to fuck someone like that.'
"No. No," he protests firmly. "I liked you before that, it doesn't matter to me."
"Are you sure?" she scoffs. "You might change your mind when I get undressed."
"I highly doubt that." He crosses his arms over his chest. "I've told you I'm not deterred by d—" His eyes widen momentarily, the word lodging in his throat, but Steph only rolls her eyes with annoyance. 
"You can say 'dick'. I have a dick. I am a woman with a dick."
That's a lot of dicks for just a few words. And Eddie is trying to prove that he's into them but not in a weird way. Which is difficult when you're rarely normal about anything. 
"Yeah, that, and I've had close encounters with those, though never on a woman before," he admits. "I would operate whatever genitals you have because they're yours, not because I'm hoping they're a certain way. I don't care. Well, I care because they're yours, but if you told me I can never touch or look, that's okay." Though what a travesty that would be. What about all the orgasms he promised her in his head? But she still has a prostate, right? He probably could—
"Say it," Steph interrupts his futuristic plans.
"Huh?"
"Say I have a dick." She crosses her arms tightly over her chest. 
Eddie inhales deeply. 
"You have a dick. It doesn't matter to me either way. You could have a pussy, a dick, or a cacti, and I would accommodate. Though we probably would have to get rid of the thorns on the last one. Or get me some protective gear."
She lets out a startled snort.
"Yeah, sure. We'll see about that."
It sounds like a challenge, and while Eddie might hate sports, he loves games. If it's up his alley, he can get competitive easily, and this one promises great treasures, if he wins. 
If only he knew the rules. 
"Tomorrow, same time. Wear something comfortable."
Eddie's eyes widen.
"For what?" His voice comes out higher than he'd like, but his mind quickly resurfaces from the gutter it found itself in, and he frowns, suddenly suspicious. "Will you make me exercise?"
Her features soften, and a playful smirk pulls on her lips. 
"You'll see."
Her smile is a good sign, even if it's at his expense, so he decides not to push his luck anymore and end the night here. 
"Well, I'm gonna..." He awkwardly motions to the door, hesitating. 
Steph is leaning against the bar counter, watching him knowingly. 
"You can get a goodnight kiss tonight," she says, resting her cheek against her palm. "Or get more tomorrow."
Eddie wonders, if the game has already started. He puts his quick Dungeon Master wits to work, and figures with how far he's come, he gets advantage on the Charisma check. 
"I could live off of goodnight kisses for forever," he says. "There's no need for anything more."
He almost feels bad at how fast her resolve crumbles, giving place to fiery red flush. 
"Fucking charmer," she scoffs almost angrily, before rounding the counter towards him. The energy coming off of her makes him take a step back, and he hits the front door. Steph's nails scratch the wooden surface right next to his ear. She tilts her head. 
"You're gonna put your money where your mouth is?" 
Eddie's been trying to get better at that, sometimes to his own demise—staying true to his words, keeping promises. So he reaches for her neck and pulls her in.
It's more like their first kiss than the last one. It's hungrier, the knowledge that they both want more seeping into their muscles, grasping at clothes, pulling and pushing. Eddie groans into Steph's hot mouth, happy to be pressed between her soft, strong body, and the cold door. She pushes even closer, gathering the sound with her tongue and claiming it for herself. 
They pull apart with a wet smack, and Steph laughs breathily at the dopey smile she finds directed at her. She pats Eddie's cheek affectionately and untangles herself from his grasp. The door clicks when she twists the lock, and it seems to bring Eddie back from his daze. 
"Goodnight, Eddie," she says pointedly. 
He blinks at her, before his soft smile comes back, and he reaches up again to place one last kiss on her lips. 
"Goodnight. See you tomorrow," he smiles, before slipping outside the door. 
Steph is terrible person, and also more smitten with this boy than she'd want to admit, so she looks through the peephole at the dimly lit corridor. She hopes Eddie can't hear her chuckle at the silly dance he does while walking away from her door.

Choi Sooyoung Blood Red Dress
https://search.app.goo.gl/EqoAcpe
Blood red
(Sooyoung X Male Reader)
Tumblr media
Sooyoung lets out a moan as you lean down to kiss her neck. Her husband and his parents are eating in the living room, while you have your hand up his wife's dress in the middle of the hallway. You press her against their bedroom door behind her and let two fingers slip inside her pussy. The two or you were planning to do this in their bedroom, but you stopped in front of the door, unable to keep your hands off her for much longer.
"I need to use the bathroom."
A shiver runs down your spine when you hear Sooyoung's father in law's voice. Finally, the two of you slip through the door behind her and a moment later you hear footsteps in the hallway. Sitting on the bed, you watch how Sooyoung gets on her knees and quickly undoes your belt and pants.
"Isn't this so exciting?"
Her mischievous grin makes you reach for her head and guide her towards your now exposed cock.
"I never thought you'd be such a slut for your husband's boss."
"Guilty."
Sooyoung whispers against your tip, already making your breath hitch, before she even starts sucking you off.
The faint voices in the living room are reduced to a minimum as Sooyoung doesn't care about making noises. She's quickly taking your cock in and out of her mouth, her head bobbing up and down in your lap. Your dick is getting coated in her saliva in the process. You're just about to take her head into your hands and start to fuck her face, when the door suddenly opens.
You look up, suddenly way too aware of what you're doing. Sooyoung lets your cock fall out of her mouth, before she turns around, her eyes wide in surprise.
"I should've known it wasn't my son's idea to invite your boss."
Your surprised by her father in law's amused smile and your confusion rises when he steps into the room and closes the door behind.
"You probably don't know this..."
He is talking to you as he takes his pants off. You're still aware that Sooyoung's hand is wrapped around your wet cock.
"but me and Sooyoung have fun from time to time as well. Isn't that right?"
He leans down and to you watch how she licks her lips as she pulls down his boxers. She takes his cock into her mouth and you feel her hand beginning to move up and down your length. You knew Sooyoung was a slut for sleeping with you. But you never expected her to be this bad.
"Good girl."
He groans, his hand stroking her hair while she sucks him off.
You stand up as well and Sooyoung eventually moves her head to wrap her lips around your cock. You stand next to her husband's father while Sooyoung gives the both of you head.
"This dress looks amazing on you."
He says while she's sucking you off, her hand stroking his cock. He reaches down to reach into her cleavage, groping her tits.
"I picked it."
You admit, amused by how big of a slut Sooyoung is.
"Great choice."
He groans when she takes him into her mouth again and you feel her hand gliding along your length.
"Although I prefer that tight pink one. She wore it for my birthday."
You chuckle.
"Yeah, she looks amazing in that."
"Do you guys want to fuck me or keep talking?"
Sooyoung looks up at the both of you with one hand each stroking your cocks.
"Why not both?"
Her father and law jokes and you help Sooyoung to her knees.
You're curious if her husband or her mother in law are ever going to look for the three or you. You can't tell how long it has been since you went into her bedroom.
"Right there."
Sooyoung moans around his cock, while you keep thrusting into her from behind. She's on all fours on her husband's bed, getting fucked by his boss and his father.
"Keep going, slut."
He takes her head in both his hand and now starts to fuck her face, while you thrust in and out of her pussy. You never expected to share Sooyoung with anyone. But here you are now. You can tell how horny she is. Her pussy is dripping wet and she tries her best to suck her father in law off. Her dress is lying next to her on the bed and you decide to start spanking her ass. Every hit on her butt cheeks makes his head roll back, probably because she moans and groans around his cock.
After the two of you switch positions, you know you won't be able to hold on for much longer. You're surprised her father in law has this much stamina while spit roasting her, but even he seems to be close to finishing.
"God, your throat feels amazing."
You groan, but Sooyoung can't answer. Your cock is buried deep inside her throat, while keeps fucking her, forcing her even further onto your length.
It finally ends with the both of you standing on the mattress with Sooyoung kneeling between you two.
"Come on, guys. All over my face."
She has this mischievous smile on her lips that screams pure lust. It feels like she's the definition of a slut as she jerks both of you off, pointing your cocks at her face.
"Fuck, gonna cum."
He groans, leaning back a little. You watch how he climaxes, his cum erupting all over Sooyoung's face. Her cheeks and nose are covered, some got on her lips and she moans in satisfaction. Trying to taste him, she sticks out her tongue and licks her lips clean.
"So damn delicious."
She sighs and focuses on you.
You can't believe that she is jerking you off, kneeling naked on her husband's bed, her father in law's cum already all over her face.
"Ruin my face completely."
She can feel your cock pulsating, so she closes her eyes and opens her mouth.
You see stars as you orgasm. Your own cum mainly hits her eyes and mouth, slightly mixing with his cum, while Sooyoung takes it all.
"Oh my god. So much delicious cum."
Instead of wiping her face clean, she leans forward and takes both of your cocks into her hands again. She cleans the both of you with her mouth, making sure she doesn't miss a drop.

You Survived! - Arthur Leclerc
Words: 2,046 Summary: After Arthur returns home from Daytona, his girlfriend surprises him with a day where she takes care of everything, including most importantly him. Notes: NSFW, Cockwarming, Arthur being in Daytona and watching him made my brain slightly malfunction and now we have this. ALSO! Thank you Stars (@checkeredflagggs) because you saw me losing my mind over Arthur but not having an idea and you gave me the idea and I fucking ran with it.
Tumblr media
Masterlist | Support Me! 
It’s nice to step back into the apartment after over a week away from it, but relief only fills Arthur when he holds her in his arms.
Her arms are wrapped tight around him and he can feel the tension leave from his shoulders as he buries his face in her neck. “I missed you.”
One of her hands runs up and down his back, “I missed you too. You did amazing.”
He wants to deny it, but she doesn’t lie to him and if she thinks he did good, he’ll happily take it. “P7 not too bad for my first time, huh?”
She lets out a small laugh, arms loosening and hands going in between their stomachs, pushing at him a little until he’s standing straight. “I know it’s not what you wanted, never satisfied unless it’s a win, but seventh? With twenty-two entries?” She smiles, eyes shining. “You did amazing.”
“Thank you.” Arthur dips his head, brushing their lips together.
“I’m going to unpack my suitcase and then shower, maybe we go out for lunch and dinner? Walk around between?”
She shakes her head, reaching behind him for his suitcase before he can. “Go shower, I’ll take your suitcase.”
He raises an eyebrow, “are you sure?”
“Yeah. I know you like to shower off, go.”
“Alright.” He drops a kiss to the top of her head. “Thank you, amour.”
Arthur’s shower is quick, easing him. Wrapping his towel around his waist, he steps out of the bathroom, ready to see what she’s picked for him to wear out and frowns seeing a pair of shorts and a well-worn t-shirt, one that she always steals from him to sleep in.
“Amour, are we not going out?”
“No!” Her voice is a little louder as she shuts the washing machine. “I have a plan for today.”
He hums, looking back at their dresser, considering getting some underwear, but those shorts were comfortable enough and she never forgot to give him underwear when picking out his clothes.
“You look comfy.” She says, leaning against the bedroom door frame, startling him.
“I feel comfy.” He then pulls at the waistband of his shorts, hand rucking up his shirt. “Is there a reason, I’m, uh free balling?” He laughs.
She shrugs, “I don’t know, maybe.”
“Hmm. A surprise for later?”
“Yes.” She then reaches a hand out and he immediately moves to grasp it. “Now, come on, you are going to sit on the sofa while I prepare us lunch.”
“You don’t want me to help?”
She squeezes his hand, pressing closer to give him a soft, slow kiss. “I just want you to relax.”
He stares at her, his love for her somehow growing as she attempts to take care of him, and he nods. He always struggled to not let her do as she pleased and wanted, and he wouldn’t stop her from trying to take care of him, not like this at least. “Okay. You will tell me if you need help?”
She rolls her eyes, but nods. “I will tell you if I need help.”
Sitting at the couch, he knows she expects him to put something on tv, a movie, a tv show, something, but he can’t take his eyes off her, not when he has a clear view of her in the kitchen, a clear view of her after over a week away from being able to see her like this.
He watches as she cleans some fruit before chopping, thinly slicing some bread after rinsing the knife and then she glances at him, a considering look on her face before it softens into a smile, and she’s slicing some cheese as well, his favorite, it’s all his favorites he realizes. All the fruit is the ones he likes most, the bread is from his favorite bakery, the cheese is the one he loves while she only likes it, and he watches as she takes care to put a few slices of his favorite lunch meat as well on the platter.
As she sets it on the coffee table that he just now notices is pulled closer to the couch, he can’t help the words that slip from his lips. “Mon amour, je ne te mérite pas. Éternellement reconnaissant d’être celui que tu choisis.” My love, I don’t deserve you. Forever grateful that I’m the one you choose.
Her hands immediately cover her face at his words and he’s quick to pull them away, needing to see her wide eyes and shy smile.
“Arthur,” her voice is soft and he pulls her down onto the couch, pulling her close.
“Merci.”
She presses into him. “Merci de m’avoir choisi. Sans vous, mon cœur ne peut pas battre.” Thank you for choosing me. Without you my heart is unable to beat.
He flushes, pressing their lips together as he swallows roughly, his fingers itching for the ring box hidden in Lorenzo’s apartment.
When they pull away, he has to clear his throat, lips brushing against hers one last time before he starts to reach for some fruit and she’s lightly slapping his hand.
“Find something to watch.” She says and he watches with a slight pout as she adjusts, knee slightly digging into his thigh as she grabs some bread and puts a slice of cheese and lunch meat for it and it’s only now he notices that the meat has already been cut to perfectly fit the small size of the bread.
He’s about to complain about her not allowing him to grab food when she’s holding it up for him to eat. His brain blanks as he leans a bit forward, easily taking the bite sized sandwich from her fingers.
She’s fed him food before, but it was always playful or just sharing a spoon or fork. It was never with fondness and love seeming to radiate off her, his lips brushing against her fingertips, and her watching as if to make sure that he likes the food despite it all being his favorites. It makes him worry if this continues he won’t make it to their anniversary to propose. Doesn’t know if his heart can take the few weeks of waiting.
He ends up throwing on a crime show, not something he normally watches, but she had shown him one episode and he had gotten hooked. They were slowly making their way through it and he was pleased to see that they were nearing the end of season two considering they only started watching a month ago.
She continues to feed him, never letting him reach for any of the food, and he hums every time she feeds him a piece of fruit and then presses their lips together in a short and slightly sticky kiss.
He almost feels drunk, his thoughts slow, body warm and completely relaxed against the couch. It’s her he knows that is making him feel this way, not the shared glass of wine she’s been pressing to his lips every time he tugs lightly at the hem of her dress that he doesn’t mean to make creep higher up her thighs with every tug, but he isn’t upset at it either.
By the time they finish the episode, the platter is empty and their wine glass is as well. She gives him a languid kiss, his hand squeezing her thigh at the way her tongue traces his lips before pulling away and standing up. He pouts as she leaves his side and her dress covers her upper thighs fully again.
She laughs, leaning down and kissing him again. “I’ll be back, I’m just going to put this in the sink and refill our glass.”
“Be quick?” He murmurs, squeezing her hand.
“As quick as can be.”
Arthur watches as she goes to the kitchen, she only leaves his side for a minute, but it’s far too long at the moment and he tells her so, enjoying the way she laughs, head fully tilting back.
When she comes back, he’s surprised when she stops in front of the couch and hands him the glass of wine.
“I finally get to do something?”
Her eyes immediately roll at the tease and then she’s straddling him and he can’t put the wine glass down quick enough, hands instantly moving to her thighs.
“Hello.” He breathes, head resting against the back of the couch to get a better look at her.
She grins at him, “Hi.” She bends a little, giving him a teasing kiss. “You have something I want.”
“Do I?”
“Uh huh.”
And his hips are jolting upwards as he feels her hand pressing through the slit in his shorts and grabbing his cock.
“Merde.” He groans, arousal beginning to stir. “You want my cock? That’s why you gave me no underwear?”
She laughs, pressing a kiss to the corner of his mouth. “Don’t get too excited.” And then she strokes him, as best as she can with her hand inside his shorts, but it’s enough to make him half hard.
“And why’s that?”
“If we have sex right now, you’ll fall asleep after and then pout when you sleep past dinner and have to wait one more day to fix your sleep schedule.”
He scowls at how well she knows him and one of his hand moves, gripping her wrist before she can do anything else to him. “So you are just teasing me?”
“No.” And he’s pleased though confused to watch as she becomes slightly shy. “I missed you. We usually are never apart that long.” She takes a long, shaky breath. “And I thought it’d be nice to sit on the couch as I cock warm you.”
His breath hitches and it’s odd to feel the arousal that had been growing calm at her words, at the want to just be close to him. “Oh, amour, we can of course do that. I like being close to you as well.”
She smiles at him and his other hand is leaving her thigh to rest upon her cheek, grinning at the warmth radiating from the skin.
“Do you actually want to sit or lay down?” He asks.
Her eyebrows press together, “I don’t know. I just want to feel you in me and wrapped around me.”
His heart skips a beat at her answer, at the softness in her voice. “How about we start with you in my lap and then we’ll readjust to us laying down?”
“Okay.”
Arthur lets go of her wrist and he expects her to immediately move her hand, letting him pull his cock out, but she’s doing it. Letting out a small hum when his length is fully out and he gives a small huff, already knowing what she’s thinking.
He helps her turn around in his lap, grabbing the hem of her dress and pulling it up a bit so she doesn’t sit on it and then he nearly curses, about to tap her hip and remind her to take off her underwear when he feels her completely bare pressed against him.
A curse leaves him at the context, the slight wetness now on his dick.
“You’ve been like this the whole time?” His voice is slightly strangled and she laughs.
“Yes.” And then her hand is wrapping around him.
He’s thankful he’s still half hard, the slight stiffness making it easier for her to press him inside and his fingers are curling around her hips as he slips in fully, a choked moan leaving them both.
They’ve done this plenty, but it’s always weird for the both of them to not start grinding and thrusting, self-control just barely restraining them for the first few minutes before finally their bodies seem to catch up with their minds.
It’s easy to lean back against the couch, with her on his lap, back completely against his chest. His arms wrapped around her and hers resting on top of his. It’s perfect and it hits Arthur again that she’s taking care of him, that yes she of course missed him and wanted to be close to him, but she somehow knew that this is what he needed. He needed this and she just knew that, knew him. And Lorenzo is going to hate him, but he already knows that as soon as he wakes up tomorrow he’ll be going over to his brother’s apartment to retrieve the ring he bought.

jj maybank x sweetheart!reader | resolved angst | (jealous!jj, misunderstandings, reader & jj being a bit oblivious, fluffy ending!)
︶︶︶ ⊹ ︶︶ ୨♡୧ ︶︶︶ ⊹ ︶︶
“This is so fuckin’ boring,” JJ complained for the sixth time in the last hour. John B needed a perfect gift for Sarah’s upcoming birthday, and apparently that meant JJ had to spend his Saturday afternoon in the mall. The only person he’d go to the mall with without complaining was you.
“Just shut up. I told you I’d buy you churros,” John B sighed, looking through the array of necklaces that the girl behind the counter had gotten out for him. The majority were out of his price range, but it was still nice to get ideas for the future.
As JJ leant against the wall, subtly hitting his vape under his sleeve, he felt his mind go to you. He’d texted a few times, asked if you wanted to come over before he knew he’d be stuck with John B, but you’d said you were busy. He assumed that meant hanging out with the few Kook girls you actually liked. He was halfway through thinking about if he should buy you something when he looked up and out the shop window, his eyes landing on a sight he never wanted to see.
You sat on a bench, a boy next to you showing you something on his phone. You were giggling, swatting at his arm as the two of you shared some fries. JJ’s face fell, his stomach dropped and he suddenly had an urge to throw up. Sure, you weren’t his girlfriend, but it was a known fact that you liked each other. It was just a waiting game at the moment, him trying to plan how to gain the confidence to pop the question, but maybe he’d left it too long. Maybe you’d thought about it and realised you didn’t really like him. He was a Pogue, that was all he’d ever be.
“I’m leaving,” JJ announced, catching John B’s attention who turned to him in confusion. He looked past JJ, seeing the same thing the blonde was staring intently at.
“Shit, Jay,” John B muttered, placing his arm on his friend’s shoulder. “Maybe it’s not what it looks like. They’re just talking.”
“Fuck that,” JJ scoffed. “I’m not a mug. If she doesn’t want me, fine, but I’m not lettin’ myself be played by a Kook.”
“Hey. Don’t talk about her like she doesn’t mean shit to you when we both know she does. Let her explain, alright? Don’t blow your shit and ruin this, okay? You’ll regret it,” John B warned.
Thankfully, John B picked out a necklace and the two of them were back at the Chateau within the hour. JJ sulked in his room, smoking a joint and thinking about the way that boy had you giggling. You’re not the kind of girl to lead someone on, he knows that, that’s why he’s so confused. If you were seeing someone you would have told him… right?
It was half seven when his phone pinged, your contact showing up on the screen with a text. ‘come over for a movie night? my parents aren’t here <333’. What was this? The other dude gets you for lunch and he gets you for dinner? How is that fair? He wanted to ignore you, but the little hearts you’d added to the message had him softening. Before he knew it, he was on his bike heading over to your place.
You opened the door within seconds, little pyjamas on with a sweet smile playing on your lips. You squealed, happy to see him as you threw your arms around him like it had been weeks since you last saw each other. As hurt as he was, he couldn’t help but hug you back — inhaling the scent of your vanilla shampoo.
“Missed you,” you murmured, smiling up at him like you hadn’t been with another man all day.
“Yeah, uh, missed you too,” he muttered. Your face scrunched up in confusion, he was normally a lot more reciprocate of your excitement.
Your hand wrapped around his arm, pulling him inside your house. You lead him into the living room and he froze. The boy was sat on your couch, scrolling on his phone. What was he doing here? Had you invited JJ over just to break the news that you just wanted to be friends? He’d try, sure, but he wasn’t sure he could go back to being just friends.
“Oh! Jay, this is Daniel. Daniel, this is JJ,” you introduced, a smile on your face as you looked between them.
“Ah, this is JJ,” Daniel smirked, a teasing tone to his voice that had your cheeks heating up.
“Yeah, yeah. Can you go upstairs? We’re having movie night,” you explained. “I mean… you can stay, I guess. But you won’t want to, we’re watching rom-coms and you hate—”
“I can take a hint,” he interrupted with a chuckle, getting up from the couch. He gave JJ a warm smile and ruffled your hair as he passed. “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!” He called as he disappeared up the stairs.
“What is he doing here?” JJ didn’t mean to sound so aggressive, but he couldn’t help it. Why were you acting like this was completely normal?
“Hm?” You hummed, turning to look at him worriedly. “Um, he’s visiting for the week from college.”
“Your parents know he’s here?” Now he knows he isn’t going to win this competition. He hasn’t even met your parents! How is this fair? The first girl he properly falls for and she’s got some secret boyfriend.
“Well, yeah.”
“And they’re just fine with that?” He scoffed, pulling away from the hold you had on his arm.
“Well, he is my mom’s nephew,” you mumbled, looking at him anxiously. You weren’t sure what you’d done wrong. You knew you hadn’t seen JJ today, but you hadn’t seen your older cousin since Christmas and you didn’t think it was polite to not spend at least one day showing him around the island.
JJ’s head snapped towards you. He was silent for a moment, before a laugh left his mouth. Daniel was your cousin. JJ had spent the entire day freaking out over you having a boyfriend when said boyfriend was your cousin. “Fuck, sweetheart. I’m sorry, I was a dick.”
“I’m confused,” you said softly, stepping towards him hesitantly.
He strode over to you, arms wrapping around your waist as he pressed an apologetic kiss to your temple. “I saw you earlier, at the mall—”
“You were at the mall? Without me?” You pouted, interrupting him.
“It was torture, trust me, but not as fuckin’ torturous as me thinkin’ you had some secret man that you’d kept from me,” he confessed.
“Did I… did I not mention I was hanging out with my cousin?” You were sure you’d told him, but now that you really thought about maybe that was Sarah you’d told he was coming to visit. Your cheeks heated up, maybe because you felt guilty but also because you couldn’t help the flutter in your chest that had appeared once you realised that JJ had been jealous.
“No, baby,” he chuckled, looking down at you. “I should’ve asked, though. Shouldn’t have been a dick, ‘m sorry. And when your cousin comes back down I won’t stare at him like I’m gonna kill him.”
“Mkay,” you hummed with a giggle, leaning up to press a kiss to his cheek. “Only want you, Jayj. Thought you’d have worked that out by now.”
This time it was his turn to blush. He rolled his eyes, but a smile played on his lips as he lifted you up and sat down on the couch with you in his lap. He kissed your jaw, stroking your cheek as he stared at you in awe.
“You’re the only one I want, too.”

Oooh may I ask for a John and Wife!Reader roleplay?? I feel like it's something he would try out to spice up their sex life with the Missus! Like he'd be kind of reluctant about it until he sees how into it Reader is heheh 👀
-✨️(if this emoji isn't taken)
smut mdni | explicit smut | alcohol but no one is drunk or even tipsy | roleplay
yes, yes, yes you may! I kinda went off on this with 2.5k wc eta I kinda went off script, was typing and blacked out to this lmaooo
"We went to a hotel and pretended not to know each other. It was a lot of fun." The actress on the flickering screen in front of John spoke as she ran her manicured fingers through her husband's hair. 
John huffed slightly, the cigar being squished between his fingers as he listened to the rest of the interview of a few dark romance authors you read from. 
They were doing Q&A's for their fans, and this one was all about roleplay, something new for you both to try out. Lately, it's been nothing but missionary, and the sex has gone stale as much as he hated to admit it, his job and duties kept him exhausted. 
It wasn't something John was proud to admit, knowing you weren't happy; it left a bitter taste in his throat as he clicked through a few more videos, gathering ideas to help the flickering dying flame. 
Most of your orgasms were self-given at this point, late at night when John was gone during a mission, which seems to be happening more and more, leaving you alone to take care of the house and yourself. 
A few days later, with his plan set in stone, the dinner table had been set with candles and takeout from your favorite place because the burnt food was now outside in the garbage with a single rose surrounded by rose petals in the middle. He wondered if this was too much, trying too hard, but he wanted you to feel loved. 
Your key slid into the lock before you pushed open the door, thankful that John was home and, this time, hopefully for a long time, his presence made the house a home, and the warmth from the furnace made you shiver as you slipped your coat and shoes off. "I'm home!" 
John stepped into the entryway, his face flushed, and sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He opened his arms, letting you fall into them with a giggle while you peppered his face with soft, sweet honey kisses. 
"I missed you so much!" You squealed and wrapped your arms around him, seeing the candles flickering in the small kitchen casting shadows across the wall that piqued your interest. "John?" 
He smiled, staying silent as he gently guided you to the dining room table you two grabbed at an estate sale a year ago before buying your shared home. Now, it's held so many memories, grooved into the wood you'd forever cherish. "Did you do something wrong?" 
Even though your voice was teasing, John's stomach churned with guilt as he pulled your chair back. He held your hand and gently kissed you, helping you sink down as you looked up at him. 
"Not' taking care of my wife," John replied, the sentence enough to make you pause, your hand hovering about the wine glass. 
You frowned, tilting your head up to look at your husband, taking his hand in yours, brushing your thumb across his coarse knuckles. "Why do you say that baby? You take real good care of me." You hummed. 
His lips twitched as he took the chair from across you, plating the food. "Haven't made you giggle or laugh in a while, haven't been home to be here like a man should, and I haven't made you cum." 
Oh. 
Your hand covered his as you looked at him, the candle flickering over your face as you cocked your head. "You've been super busy. I knew what I signed up for when I married you, honey. I don't hold it against you. Do I wish you were home more often? Yes, you're my man." 
"You're my man." Those words echoed through his head, and at that moment, it was decided that he was going to be where he belonged, but tonight wasn't about that. It was about making you feel good. 
Dinner happened with a soft hum of conversation as you ended up nestled on John's lap, your thighs draped over his as you fed each other in between slow kisses that made your toes curl. 
John's hands roamed your body, his rough palms bunching the sundress you wore to your hips. "Tomorrow night, we got plans. Come home after work." He hummed in your ear, kissing it. Once dinner was over, you and John fell into bed, naked and warm, curled together. 
Your husband's words played through your head all morning as you woke up to do your morning routine, your legs still wobbly from the way John had you bouncing on his dick like his personal toy. 
It only made you flustered, and the workday felt like forever, especially with John's teasing texts about what he had planned for the evening ahead. when the clock hit five, you zoomed from the building to your car as fast as possible. 
Excitement bubbled in your veins as you drove home. The streets were dim, and the moon brightened over the small town you and John had settled in. The porch light was dim as you pulled the car into the driveway. 
John was in the bedroom when you entered after slipping your shoes off; the grin on your face was infectious as John matched it, his hand sweeping to the bed where a dress lay, paired with your shoes. 
Your eyes drifted to the mattress to see it was the same dress you wore on your first date, a beautiful color that made your skin glow, but John did it. "What's this all for?" You asked curiously with a grin. 
"Our date, told you luv. Tonight, it's goin' to be different. We're not husband and wife, but a man in need of a pretty woman's cunt." 
His vulgar words made your jaw drop as your cunt ached, throbbing to be filled like last night, the memories making you shift in your spot as you looked at him, dressed in jeans and a button-up, the sleeves rolled up to the elbow, making him look like a snack. 
Without realizing it, you stepped forward and wrapped your arms around his neck to pull him in a heated his; his hand rested on the globes of your ass, giving it a squeeze. "So, we're strangers?" You asked, leaning back with a sly smile as you giggled softly. 
John held you as you swayed back and forth, your fingers locked behind his neck. "Yes, ma'am. You'll be sittin' at the bar alone, where I come and save you from bein' stood up. Your safeword is the same." 
The way he looked at you made your stomach flutter. Even years after being married, John had this way of making you feel the same as he did on the first date, giddy like a schoolgirl with her first crush. 
"I'll need the sadness slurped from my pussy." You teased, making him shake his head and chuckle, the sound like music to your ears. 
Once ready, John guided you to his car, opened the door, and kissed your head. Inside, you held his hand, buzzing with excitement. 
“We’re pretendin’ we don’t know each other, somethin’ new and fun,” John murmured, his voice warm like whiskey simmering in your veins, making you flush as you giggled, squeezing his hand agreeing. 
Then it hit you: John skimmed your books, which made a lot of sense when you noticed that a few were out of place months before he was deployed. “You read my smut books, didn’t you?” You teased. 
Your husband looked at you with a wink that melted you like butter in a hot pan, screaming and burning as your eagerness filled the vehicle's cabin, putting John on edge. This was something new and way out of his realm, but seeing you happy about it eased the growing tension in his chest. 
The tire crunched over gravel as he pulled into the parking lot, breaking the silence. 
John was out of the car, opening your door before you could grab the handle, his hand warm and calloused in yours as he helped you out. His other palm rested on your hip. "I'll be inside in five, luv, be a good girl and wait for me." He hummed, leaning in to kiss you, soft, tender. 
You pulled away, resting your hand on his chest and looking at him with all the affection in the world swirling in your eyes. You pecked his lips and glided your hand over his pecs before walking inside. 
Thankfully, the bar wasn't too busy, seeing that it was a Thursday night, giving you most of the bar to yourself and John, who came in through the back door, his eyes scanning the small, cozy space. 
People left you be while you ordered a glass of wine, something sweet that exploded on your taste buds, trying not to watch John from the corner of your eyes even though you could feel him staring. 
It burned a hole in you, melting straight to between your legs, your clit throbbing already. You kept your posture sad and hunched, remembering that the reason you were here was being stood up. 
Two minutes later, John was perched on the barstool next to you. His drink was already ordered when his eyes shifted to you, filled with mock concern. “What’s a pretty thing like you doin’ here all alone?”
You turned and looked at him. The instant your eyes locked, it was over. You gigglingly covered your mouth and shook your head. “Sorry. I don’t know if I can do this; you’re so…you.” You hummed.
John shook his head, his lips twitching with a smile. “Darlin’, what the hell am I supposed to do with you? And what’s that supposed to mean?” He teased, wrapping his arm around your waist when you nuzzled your forehead against his pecking his lips.
“You’re my soulmate, my man; I can’t pretend not to know you when I was riding you like a cowgirl just last night, and we’ve shared so much. It was a hot idea, but I want you as my husband.” You sighed, running your fingers through his brown roots, tugging gently. 
A deep groan rumbled through his chest, feeling your tongue glide into his mouth, tasting and licking the bourbon he ordered and sipped on.
The deep longing carved out a place in his soul, healing the cracks in him. John’s hand bunched the fabric of your dress around your waist, pulling you off the barstool and against him, leaving no room to mistake the feel the desire he felt, the hard poke against your thigh. 
Hand in hand again, John led you from the bar and outside into the cool summer breeze, your giggles breaking up the sounds of a few cars passing by while you opened the back door and guided him to the backseat slapping his ass and hearing him grunt.
John settled on the cool leather, spreading his legs as he helped you join him. He sat on his lap and leaned back while you shut the door, sealing both of you off from everyone. “You’re so handsome, so sexy.”
Your words were laced with affection and desire as your hands roamed his body, running over the soft pudge of his stomach softened by homecooked meals made with love and your spoiling. 
While you touched him, he returned the same favor, his fingers grazing under your dress, teasing, making your skin breakout in goosebumps while you humped him, grinding your cunt against him. 
The car was filled with heavy breathing and teeth-clacking kissing as your hips worked harder until John slid his hand into your panties, feeling how wet and slick you were, his fingers gliding against the lips of your cunt, making him groan again. “Fuck, sweetheart. Drippin’ for me.”
While leaning back, John sunk two thick fingers inside you with a squelch that was music to his ears; pumping them in and out at a slow pace had you feral, the teasing of his thumb against your clit ghosting.
He knew what he was doing, barely giving in until he was pressing against your g-spot, pressing his thumb down with circles, making you clench and hump his fingers this time, your hands resting on his shoulders, moaning, getting lost in the haze of it all but the flash of car lights pulling into the parking lot had you gripping his wrist.
“John!” You giggled and whined when he pulled his fingers out, his dark eyes watching as you sucked yourself off him before moving out of the backseat fixing your dress, and getting into the passenger. 
It didn’t take long for your husband to join you, his cock still hard and straining painfully against his zipper. He pressed on the gas, pulled out of the lot to drive home as quickly as possible, and John helped you out of the car, holding your hand while leading you inside. 
You both barely made it past the door before John had you pressed against the wall, his lips desperate and hungry while his hands tore at your dress until it pooled around your heeled feet. Your touch was hot, scorching against his skin as you undressed him not breaking the kiss. 
All tongue and hands, you and John ended up on the floor naked and warm, tangled together. His cock rutted against your hip as he helped you to a position of sixty-nine with you on top, still wearing your shoes. 
John didn’t give you any time to do anything before his hands were on your hips, bringing you down on his face, fully knowing he’d die a happy man if this were his last meal. Slowly, he licked a hot swipe up your cunt from your quivering hole to your swollen clit, flicking and sucking.
Your jaw went slack at the feeling as your fingers wrapped around the base of his cock before your mouth was wrapped around his leaky head, going further until you gagged, feeling the curly and hoarse hair tickling before you found a slow and teasing pace. 
It was a mess of spit and slick as you bobbed your head feeling his tongue swirl over your clit before kissing your pussy that drenched his face and beard leaving it glistening like his sack from your salvia. 
Moaning around him, the sound vibrating around his cock, making him grip your ass, forcing you to ride his face harder until your orgasm burst open, making you squeal and gag on his cock, jerking your hips. 
But that didn’t stop John; his tongue was relentless in making out with your cunt making it sticky and prolonging the cloud of pleasure. It spurred you to make him a mess, too; your tongue lavished each inch of him, spitting and jerking him off, moaning and grinding down. 
There was nothing but panting and sucking that filled the small entryway of your shared home when John felt himself tighten before spilling down your throat, making sure you swallowed all of it. 
After a long moment of sitting there with his cock still in your mouth, feeling it soften, you finally rolled off him stretching your legs with a whine. “I think we need to start stretching before sex.” You giggled. 
John chuckled, his face a mess of your cum glazing his lips. He rolled to his side, caressing your curves, lingering over your breasts, his face ruddy with the afterglow. “We’re not done yet, but you’re right, darlin’. We must stretch and move to the bed; my back is achin’.”

🌺 “let’s have a baby!” *b spits out food* “a what now?” with Logan Howlett x fem!reader
Thank you
🩷
─── telling logan you want a baby
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: logan howlett x fem!reader
summary: you tell logan that you want a baby with him.
contents! fluff, domestic life, established relationship, talking about having a baby.
notes: It was supposed to be shorter but when I saw it I ended up stretching the plot more than planned lol. thanks for the request anon 💜
Tumblr media
The cabin was warm, the smell of home-cooked food filling the air as the fire crackled in the corner. It was a simple life, but it was theirs. Logan sat across from her at the worn wooden table, one hand lazily curled around a beer while the other stabbed at his food. He looked relaxed for once—broad shoulders loose, jaw not clenched for once, the habitual storm behind his eyes calmer than usual.
Perfect time to drop a bombshell.
She stabbed her fork into a piece of food, twirling it between her fingers. Casual. Relaxed. Then, with the same tone she’d use to suggest a movie, she said—
“Let’s have a baby.”
Logan didn’t freeze. He didn’t tense or give you one of those intimidating stares. No—he did something better.
He choked.
One second, he was biting into his steak, and the next, he was coughing violently. A rough a what now? escaped between wheezes, his hand pounding against his chest like that would somehow help.
She bit back a grin, completely unfazed, and took a casual sip of her drink. “A baby, Logan. You don’t know what a baby is? Want me to explain it to you?”
Logan shot her the flattest, most unimpressed look in existence. If looks could kill, she’d be six feet under.
She just grinned, meeting his glare with ease. “You heard me. Let’s have a baby. A tiny human. Yours and mine.”
“Darlin’, that’s not exactly somethin’ you just drop over dinner.”
She snorted, eyes twinkling with amusement. “Well, yeah. I figured I’d skip the dramatic lead-up and just say it.”
Logan muttered something under his breath, then leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his hair. He grabbed his beer and took a long, slow sip as if alcohol might somehow help him process what was happening. It didn’t.
Finally, he set the bottle down with a thud and looked at her, expression unreadable. “And you’re serious?”
“Very.”
A muscle in his jaw ticked. He was silent for a moment, eyes searching hers like he was trying to find some crack in the statement—some sign that she was messing with him. But there was nothing. Only that damn steady, patient look of hers.
Logan let out a slow breath, shifting in his seat. “Jesus, princess,” he muttered.
She grinned. “So… that’s a yes?”
He shot her another look.
“That’s not a yes.”
“Nope.”
“But it’s not a no,” Logan grumbled and went back to eating, clearly hoping she’d let it go. She didn’t.
She rested her chin on her hand, watching him like she could see the wheels turning in his head. “You’re thinking about it.”
He scoffed. “I’m eatin’.”
“You’re eating and thinking about it.”
Logan shook his head, focusing way too hard on his plate. “You’re impossible.”
“And you love me,” she teased.
Logan didn’t look up. “Yeah, yeah,” he muttered, but there was no bite to it.
And just like that, she knew. He might not have said yes, but he hadn’t said no either. And for Logan, that was as good as an answer.
Maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t so impossible after all.
Tumblr media
The conversation didn’t come up again.
Not while they finished eating. Not while they cleaned up. Not even when they settled into bed, the soft hum of the wind outside filling the comfortable silence between them.
But Logan was still thinking about it.
Lying on his back, one arm folded under his head, he stared at the ceiling. His mind ran over the idea like a blade he wasn’t sure was sharp or dull—wasn’t sure if it’d cut him open or just sit heavy in his hands.
A kid. His kid.
The thought should’ve scared the hell out of him. Maybe it did. But it also… didn’t. Not the way he expected.
He glanced to the side.
She was asleep, curled into the blankets, her breathing soft and even. Peaceful. Unaware that she’d just completely rewired something deep in him with one damn sentence over dinner.
Logan swallowed, gaze lingering on her face.
He’d had a lot taken from him in his life. A lot of people, a lot of memories, a lot of time. But here she was, asking him to have something. Something real. Something that wasn’t just fighting and running and waiting for the next bad thing to hit. He was still afraid, afraid that his kid would be like him. A mutant.
But maybe… maybe that wasn’t such a bad idea. Not if it was with her by his side.
His chest rose and fell with a slow breath.
Then, wordlessly, he shifted closer, his arm slipping around her. He pulled her against him, pressing his lips to her forehead, lingering there for a moment.
“Yeah, alright,” he muttered against her skin, voice low, rough, barely a whisper.
She stirred slightly, shifting into him, but didn’t wake.
Logan let his eyes close. Relaxing with the choice he's come to.

"A Love in Code"
Tumblr media
Pairing: Spencer Reid x reader
Genre: fluff
Words: 3.5k
Warnings: mutual pining, kinda slow-burn, kissing
Summary: On Valentine’s Day a secret admirer starts leaving you coded messages, book quotes, and thoughtful gifts.
a/n: it's really similar to my other Spencer Valentine’s fic, but I just loved the idea sooo much. I had to write another one! Enjoy! Happy Valentine’s Day my loves 🌷💝
February 14th – 8:12 AM
You weren’t expecting much for Valentine’s Day.
Sure, the BAU was like a family, and someone (probably Penelope) would bring in heart-shaped cookies. But you hadn’t planned anything special for yourself.
That changed the moment you arrived at your desk.
Sitting on your keyboard was a small, folded note with your name on it.
You frowned, glancing around. Everyone was going about their morning routine—JJ sipping coffee, Derek chatting with Emily, Spencer flipping through a book. No one seemed to be watching you.
Curious, you opened the note.
“When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.” – Arrigo Boito
Your breath caught.
A love quote? From who?
“Whatcha got there?” JJ appeared beside you, peeking over your shoulder.
You quickly folded the note. “Nothing! Just… something from a friend.”
JJ raised an eyebrow, unconvinced. “A special friend?”
You rolled your eyes, but your heart raced.
A secret admirer? Could it really be possible?
And if so… who?
10:45 AM
The second surprise came just before the team’s briefing.
You returned from the breakroom to find a small book sitting on your chair. Pride and Prejudice.
Your heart pounded as you picked it up. Tucked inside the front cover was another note.
“You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.” – Mr. Darcy
Your face burned.
Okay. This was real.
“Wow,” Emily said, appearing beside you. “Whoever this is, they know their romance novels.”
You forced a laugh, scanning the room. Spencer was flipping through his own book, not paying you any mind. Derek was smirking like he knew something.
Your mind raced.
Could it be… Spencer?
No. That was ridiculous.
Right?
2:30 PM
You spent most of the afternoon trying (and failing) to focus on work. Every time you thought about the notes, your heart fluttered.
Then, just as you returned from lunch, another surprise appeared on your desk.
A small box of chocolates.
Your hands shook as you picked up the attached note.
“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” – Charles M. Schulz
Your stomach flipped.
“Alright,” Penelope declared, marching over. “I need to know who’s making you blush like that.”
You groaned. “I don’t know!”
She narrowed her eyes. “Oh, you definitely have a guess.”
You bit your lip.
Spencer.
It had to be him. The literary quotes, the thoughtful gifts—it all screamed Spencer.
But why would he keep it a secret?
Unless…
He was scared.
Just like you.
5:00 PM
You were packing up to leave when Spencer appeared at your desk.
“Hey,” he said, his voice slightly hesitant.
You smiled, trying to act normal. “Hey, Spence. What’s up?”
He shifted on his feet. “I, uh… I was wondering if you wanted to get coffee?”
Your heart pounded. “Coffee?”
He nodded. “I mean, if you don’t have plans, of course. I just thought… we could talk.”
Your pulse thrummed in your ears.
This was it.
You swallowed hard, then smiled. “I’d love to.”
6:15 PM – The Coffee Shop
The café was quiet, bathed in the soft hum of conversation and the gentle clinking of cups against saucers. The scent of roasted coffee lingered in the air, but you barely noticed it.
Spencer sat across from you, fingers tapping restlessly against his cup. The nervous energy rolling off him was something you weren’t used to—he was always so composed, even when discussing the most horrific cases.
But now, he looked… hesitant. Uncertain.
You took a deep breath, steadying yourself before pulling out the small stack of notes from your bag and placing them on the table between you.
“Spencer,” you said softly. “Was it you?”
His gaze dropped to the familiar handwriting on the notes.
He stilled.
For a moment, he didn’t speak. His lips parted slightly, his fingers tightening around the ceramic of his coffee cup. His mind was working through a million thoughts, you could tell—trying to calculate the best response, the least damaging outcome.
But there was only one truth.
His shoulders rose with a deep inhale, and then, finally, he met your eyes.
“I wanted to tell you,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. “But I didn’t know how.”
Your breath hitched.
“Spencer…” you prompted, leaning forward. “Why didn’t you just say something?”
He let out a soft, humorless chuckle, shaking his head. “Because I was scared. I’m not—” He paused, licking his lips. “I’m not good at things like this. I’ve spent my whole life being better with numbers and facts than with people. And you… you’re the exception to every rule I’ve ever known.”
Your heart squeezed.
“The exception?” you echoed.
He exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck, his nerves unraveling before your eyes. “I thought if I told you, it would ruin everything. You’re my best friend. And I was terrified of losing that, of making things complicated. But I also—” He let out a shaky breath. “I couldn’t not tell you.”
Your fingers trembled against the notes as you absorbed his words.
He had felt the same fear you had.
The same hesitation, the same nervous energy that had been plaguing you for months.
He had been scared of losing you.
The weight of it all crashed over you like a tidal wave, and suddenly, every glance, every stolen moment, every lingering touch between you over the years took on a new meaning.
Spencer Reid—the man who saw the world through logic and numbers, who feared unpredictability and chaos—had been in love with you all along.
Your throat tightened. “Spence…”
He swallowed hard, his hazel eyes filled with a quiet vulnerability. “I love you,” he confessed, the words escaping like an exhale he’d been holding in for far too long. “I think I’ve loved you for longer than I even realized. I just—” He shook his head. “I didn’t know how to say it until now.”
Your breath caught.
A warmth spread through your chest, replacing every doubt, every fear, every moment of uncertainty you had carried for so long.
Because you knew.
You knew that this—this man sitting in front of you, the one who had left you quotes from classic literature and chocolates and poetry—he was it.
He was everything.
You didn’t hesitate.
Reaching across the table, you laced your fingers with his. His hand was warm, slightly trembling, but he didn’t pull away.
“I love you too,” you whispered, the words spilling from your lips as naturally as breathing. “I have for so long, but I—” You shook your head, laughing softly at yourself. “I guess we’re both kind of idiots, huh?”
A slow, brilliant smile spread across his face, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “Yeah,” he murmured. “I guess we are.”
The warmth of his hand against yours sent electricity up your spine, and suddenly, sitting across from him wasn’t enough.
You stood, heart racing, and Spencer followed suit without hesitation. There was no awkwardness, no hesitation—just an unspoken understanding as you met him halfway, closing the space between you.
Your hands moved to his face, fingers brushing along his sharp jawline. His own hands settled at your waist, hesitant but firm.
And then, you kissed him.
It was soft at first—a gentle meeting of lips, like the first note of a song waiting to be played. But then he responded, tilting his head, deepening the kiss just enough to make your heart stutter.
His fingers curled into your waist, pulling you just a little closer, and for the first time in forever, you weren’t overthinking a single thing.
You just let yourself feel.
When you finally pulled away, breathless and lightheaded, Spencer rested his forehead against yours, a small, incredulous laugh escaping him.
“I can’t believe it took me this long,” he murmured.
You grinned, brushing your thumb along his cheek. “Better late than never, Dr. Reid.”
He huffed a laugh. “Happy Valentine’s Day,” he whispered, his breath ghosting against your lips.
You smiled.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, Spence.”
And as you stood there in the dimly lit café, hands still tangled together, you knew—this was the start of something extraordinary.
Something that had been written in the stars all along.

୨ৎ your camera roll when you marry dean winchester
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dean asks you to marry him on a not so random Tuesday. He had planned it months in advance, and you were so very aware, but you loved him enough to keep acting clueless. You were ecstatic when he finally asked, thinking that he’d decided against it if he hasn’t done it this long, but it was perfect. You’re shaking when he puts the ring on but you try to snap a picture anyway to show to your parents. They reiterate that you shouldn't be allowed to hold a phone. It’s a small wedding, the way you’ve always imagined it. Small enough that you get a couple (six) tables and put them next to each other just so you could all eat together. Dean’s never liked an idea more— everything you did to plan for your big day made him fall in love all over again. Everything was precious and meaningful. His toast took you all by surprise, not the fact that he gave one, but what he said— god, you cried that day. Cried way too much, honestly. The photographer was a successful idea since the two of you didn’t even think to care about capturing the moment, too busy living in it. You, for some reason, decided it was a good idea to have a tattoo parlor at the wedding and Dean, suddenly, decided you should get matching tattoos.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first night you and Dean settle in your cabin, the one you saved up for years, it’s special. It’s magical. You almost cry, hugging yourself as you stare at it, the yellow lighting from the inside and how the tress cover it, exactly like you’ve always wanted. You always love big gestures and going out, but at the heart of all that it’s important to you that your home is simple and just you. It’s the place you’re supposed to feel the most comfortable. And Dean knows that as he steps behind you, wraps his arms around your waist and snaps a picture of the house, telling you it’s so you never forget this moment. Once your honeymoon (the two weeks Dean spent in bed with you) is over, Sam takes you both out for dinner. You act so in love that he’s sure he’s gonna throw up a couple of times— but he snaps a picture just incase. Just incase this is the last time he sees his brother happy, in love, and being bossed around by a woman demanding he buy her the pistachio Tres Leches. You both go home that night and a few hours on the couch proves to be bad for your back. Dean asks what you’re doing as you slither down onto the hardwood floor of your home. You confess that as a child you used to opt sleeping on the floor to sleeping in a bed. You take out your phone to show him pictures your mother took and sent you, ones she found on an old hard drive, and he can’t help but want to capture the moment forever.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You smile at Dean, telling him how good he’s gotten at taking pictures. When you first met him, it was the last damn thing on his mind, now it’s all he does. He love keeping these moments for the both of you. And ever since you had the twins, Dean had to buy three phones. No one told him you can pay for storage these days. He’s always snapping pictures, especially in the morning when you’re too asleep to do it yourself. He’s convinced thags when you look your best, out of bed and cuddling his kids, looking out at the sunrise. And then you get some payback by taking some candids of your own. Your phone is practically flooding with them, Dean’s a better father than you ever expected, he’s always reading to your son, encouraging him but trying to teach him to still be a mean, and he’s always spoiling your little girl, calling her a passengers princess and making her feel like she’s the only thing that matters to him.
You click one last photo of the two of them before your phone screen blinks. ‘Storage full’.
It’s alright, it was never about the photos anyway.

what do u think taylor’s next move is
THANK you for asking. I’ve been thinking hard about this. Step one is dump her boyfriend. She has to wait a tasteful but not time wasting amount of time to do this. I think 3 months min 6 months max. After this is a crossroads but I don’t think it’s like. A 50/50 shot crossroads it’s an 80/20 shot crossroads. Path one she’s like this time I am for real done with this I don’t care about chart topping album moving being the most recognizable richest artist in the world because when I was doing that I wasn’t happy and I got booed by thousands of people on live television. I want to do things that I enjoy and make me happy. And she pars down to like. Much tighter moodier albums that don’t go viral on tiktok. While moving even more out of the public eye and focusing on like. Maintaining friendships that are important to her. This is the 20% option. It’s not going to happen but it will flit across her mind once.
The 80% option: After dumping her boyfriend. She writes another album. Again tasteful amount of time but not a waste of time amount of time. I think breakup spring album announcement late summer release early fall. If she decides she still wants to be stupid famous I think it’s highly unlikely we get out of this year without a new Taylor swift album. I don’t know How hard this slant will be but I can guarantee 1-3 songs about like. Expectations and never being enough. I don’t think it’ll be a smear job against the football guy I honestly anticipate very little of the album being About him except for one to two mandatory Sucks that we broke up would have been nice if it worked out but alas. Not concrete but I could see her toying with the idea of going back to narrative albums if she’s like. Trying to thread the needle of stupid famous but maintaining things about her personal life for herself. I couldn’t guess even a LITTLE BIT as to the aesthetics of this hypothetical album. It would also be crazy to do a tour after she toured for pretty much 2 years straight but. She IS crazy. Im sure she could find a way to do it if she wanted to but im having trouble squaring. Ending an “eras” tour and following it up relatively immediately. With a one album tour. I don’t think whatever her plans are have changed in any really concrete way. I think when she did the math she set the odds at like. 60% Super Bowl win 40% close loss and a stomping was not in the math but I don’t think it like. Materially impacts the path she has planned for her career. The booing I think WILL get to her. But again not in a way that means she shakes things up in a way where she writes a handful of songs about pedestals

randomly bringing back my divorced-dads steddie au from ages ago (part 1, part 2) because i was thinking about how valentine's days would go down during the years steve and eddie were divorced, splitting custody of their daughter rozzy, and switching off holidays every year.
Like, the first Valentine's Day post-divorce –
Eddie, to Rozzy (age 2): You don't know this yet, sweet Rosalind, but your daddy loves Valentine's Day.
Eddie: And I think you'd just make him so happy if he saw you wearin' all kinds of pink and hearts and all that sappy stuff.
Eddie: *proceeds to help his daughter get dressed in clothes he bought very specifically so she'd be wearing a Valentine's Day-themed outfit when Steve picked her up*
Rozzy (age 3, first year in pre-k and just learned about Valentine's Day): Valentine's Day is tomorrow and it's about love and pink and hearts.
Steve: Yup. You'll be with Dad for it this year.
Steve: You know what could be fun?
Steve: We could go pick out some flowers for you to give Dad when I drop you off.
Rozzy: *Wiggly toddler dance of approval* Yeah!
Rozzy: Pink flowers?
Steve: I think your dad's been into purple lately.
Rozzy (7): *walks out of school looking all kinds of solemn*
Eddie: Jeez Louise, what happened to you?
Rozzy: *silently stews the entire drive home and only elaborates once they're pulling into the driveway*
Rozzy: We did a craft for Valentine's Day today and I only had time to make one for *you* because Valentine's is with you this year and not with Daddy, but I *wanted* to make one for Daddy, but my teacher said there was no more time and she said that also everyone just gets to make one and it wouldn't be fair that I got to make two.
Rozzy: *deep gulping breath*
Rozzy: But I want one for Daddy.
Eddie: Okay...sweetheart, it's really okay with me if you give your craft to Daddy. We've got lots of fun stuff on the docket for you and me tonight -- I'll live.
Rozzy: No. This one is for you.
Rozzy: I want *another* one for Daddy.
Eddie: *sighs*
Eddie: You remember how to make it?
Eddie: Give me a minute to cancel some plans and we'll go raid my studio tonight and make another one.
Rozzy (age 9): I'm with Dad for Valentine's Day this year?
Steve, trying not to sound too bummed about it: Uh-huh.
Rozzy: Can we make something so I can bring them to Dad's with me?
Steve: Sure. You got any ideas?
Rozzy: I wanna make chocolate-covered strawberries with sprinkles on them
Rozzy: 'Cept...maybe we should use white chocolate so you can really see the sprinkles.
Steve: Uh, well, I don't think your dad likes white chocolate all that much, but we can go out and try to find, like, pastel sprinkles or something so he can see them against the chocolate.
anyways, just thinking about steve and eddie sending each other valentine's day gifts through their daughter during their (temporary) divorce :)

Tumblr media
Initially when we had started our relationship Evie had been against the idea of children. She hated the idea of becoming a mother and couldn't bear the idea of losing her figure. Despite her partner's outrageous breeding kink and his constant desire to knock her up she reassured herself that he would never do it.
She tried to satiate her boyfriends desires by letting him hold her belly while they fucked. Sometimes she would surprise him with a good baby and even forked out for a fake pregnant belly thinking it would be enough to keep him distracted and happy.
She was wrong. One night he came home even more pent up than usual. As soon as he walked through the door he picked her up and pinned her to their bed. She loved every second of it and as he whispered all of his darkest desires to her she just moaned and accepted them as fantasy. When he came inside her fertile pussy she reassured herself she was on birth control and nothing would happen. If only she had known for the last month he'd been swapping her pills for fakes.
A few weeks later she began to feel nauseous and started experiencing soreness in her chest. Being the health freak that she was she instantly went out and bought a test. She cried for hours in her boyfriend's arms when those two lines came back. He held her and comforted her telling her everything was going to be okay. He knew what he had done but didn't plan on telling her just yet.
Over the next couple months her body swelled with her pregnancy. Her belly went from a tight toned wall of muscle to a rounded orb filled with her unwanted offspring. Her tits filled out with milk and practically spilled out of her bra. To make matters worse her unwanted bastard son thrashed around inside of her every night keeping her awake.
Eventually she had to go for a scan in the hospital with her now husband. They had an emergency shotgun wedding to try to convince her family that everything was normal. As she lay down on the bed and the nurse covered her gravid stomach with gel she felt a fluttering in her chest. She thought it was fear but just a little part of her thought it could be excitement. As the wand was pressed into her belly she looked at the screen and on the monitor was her beautiful baby boy. Perfectly formed and healthy she was given a clean bill of health and once she got home she rode her husband for hours draining him of every drop of cum.
Something had awoken inside of her. Now whenever her son kicked inside of her instead of anger she felt aroused. She would sit in the mirror for hours posing with her belly sending photos to her husband at work begging him to come home and give her twins.
Now every night she would go to bed with a pussy full of cum feeling her husband rub her swollen womb. She had made up her mind that this pregnancy thing wasn't so bad. She had also made up her mind that she was going to make sure she stayed this way for the rest of her life.

happy valentines!! hope you have a good one 🖤 wanted to request if it's not much of an issue what spending your first valentines day with lee would be like? thank u!!
LOVERS' DAY WITH LEE HARKER
˖◛⁺⑅♡ note to anon: hiiiii love!! happy valentine's to you too, I hope you have a lovely day <33 omg so I was hoping to write something themed for today so this request is perfect hehe ˖◛⁺⑅♡ music: my girl - the temptations, it had to be you - frank sinatra, always be my baby - mariah carey, double take - dhruv, like I do - j.tajor (I so wish I could link my spotify's valentine's playlist for this, but alas, I can't so I'll just share which songs I enjoyed listening to when writing this hehe) ˖◛⁺⑅♡ contains: sfw, lee and reader being gay af and in love pretty much, not proofread. would absolutely love to hear what you guys think, it always makes me very happy and motivated to know mwah mwah ˖◛⁺⑅♡ divider by: @/fairytopea
Tumblr media
okay so first off, I feel like lee would never be someone who cared much at all about valentine's day or saw it as a big deal, you know? she definitely is the kind of partner who feels she should consistently give you that support and care and doesn't really feel the need to designate a day to spoiling you
which is why if you're someone who likes valentine's day, you've gotta tell her so she knows exactly what your expectations are. otherwise, she's gonna feel at a loss to know what level of grandeur you're expecting on her end and she'll have nothing to go off of but her own research LMAO
if you tell her you just want her to do what she thinks is a nice gesture, and leave the planning to her for it, she'll just be a confused wreck for the first few days
eventually, though, through extensive research, she decides what'll be best is probably a gift and some kind of date, since that seems to be what most couples do and expect
her gift will either be something practical (like, if you've been having bad back pain, she'll get a back massager), or something she's observed you looking at in stores (she privately keeps a messy list of things she's seen you admiring in public so she can refer to it on your birthday or your guys' anniversary)
since she's a simp tho, she'll probably end up going with both kinds of gifts LOL
as for a date, she decides it'd just be most practical to decide on that together, so that both of you are comfortable with the idea
a lot of couples tend to do big outings, but you're well aware that lee isn't really comfortable with outings that put her in crowded spaces or take her out of her comfort zone. so, you guys settle on something simple, like going on a walk, then making dinner together and sharing it at home
which honestly still feels as intimate and special as going out. because, ofc, lee gets super busy with work, and this sometimes leads to an entire month of no pre-planned dates. time spent together, yes, but actual dates planned out are a different thing. so, reserving a slot of time just for you and her to talk, catch up and spend quality time means, like, a lot to her. honestly, I feel like quality time is probably one of her top love languages, since I think she'd need to spend a lot of time with someone to be comfortable enough to be romantically involved with them
like ACCKKKKK I'm getting butterflies thinking of it, but I can just imagine you two walking through a snowy trail, catching up, and when you're in the middle of rambling about something you're really passionate about, she's just gently smiling and feeling rejuvenated by the knowledge that, yes, this is exactly why she's so enamoured with you
if you catch her watching you and ask what's up, she'll just clear her throat and look away, mumbling, "nothing"
if you proceed to tease her, sidling to her side and nuzzling against her, she'll just roll her eyes and ignore you, but continue to keep her arm wrapped around you the entire time
when you guys cook together, you'll either play a tape or have some cheesy romance movie playing in the background, much to lee's cringing. but, it's just white noise, really, for the entire time, you two are bickering over how exact to be with the pasta recipe, with lee calling for exact precision and you insisting on a little flare to suit both your guys' tastes
as per usual, she gives into you
when you're stirring the sauce together, she leans on the counter, watching you with intense eyes, feeling her stomach clench at just how grateful she feels. to be this comfortable with someone, this at ease, is a rarity for her. she never really thought of herself as having a long-lasting relationship or partner, content with her solitude and reconciled with the idea that her discomfort with social situations would probably prevent her from finding someone who she truly feels loosened and relaxed with. so, the fact that you found her, and somehow, bore your way through her walls until you got to make a home in her chest, still makes her feel slightly astonished. and wholly grateful.
she hesitates, but pushes herself onward, knowing you'd like her to be open with her desire for affection, and walks over, giving you a back hug, chin perched on your shoulder. you laugh softly at the touch, your stomach rumbling under her arm.
"all okay?" you ask gently.
lee just breathes in your scent, quietly saying, "yeah, I'm okay"
you guys eat together on her couch, your legs tossed over hers as they stretch along the couch. she has one hand resting on your thigh, thumb smoothing over the fabric of your pants, while the other is feeding herself.
"you know, this is pretty good," you mutter wondrously when chewing. "maybe we should just run away and spend the rest of our days making pasta."
"that definitely sounds reasonable," she mutters with a faint smile, squeezing your knee. she hasn't admitted it to you, at least not yet, but she does think about that sometimes. well, a lot. how one day in the future, she'd like to retire and move with you to somewhere secluded, somewhere away from oregon. somewhere that's not tainted with her childhood, or that'll remind her of her work, no matter how proud she is of it. somewhere reserved only for the two of you. it's a big commitment, a huge one, really, but she wouldn't have ever gotten with you if she wasn't sure of her decision.
when you two swap gifts, she's biting her lip nervously, hands fidgeting on her lap as you eagerly pull a gift from the first paper brown bag she handed to you. when you find the body massager, you immediately laugh, your heart swelling with how considerate, and unorthodox, the present is.
lee, on the other hand, is watching you carefully, trying to understand why you're so amused, and if it's an indicator she did something wrong. when you notice this, your laugh falters and you lean in to kiss her cheek, mumbling, "I love it, baby. thank you."
she clears her throat, heat rising to her cheeks from the affectionate touch. inside, though, is a stirring of satisfaction and pride, the feeling only increasing by a tenfold when you pull out the plushie she got you and scream in delight.
"I, um..." she trails off, suddenly feeling a tad pathetic. "I sprayed my cologne on it. I heard some people like that."
and you definitely seem to, she observes, based on how you shove your nose into the plushie then immediately throw yourself into her lap, dotting kisses all over her face, which sends her beaming shyly.
she absolutely does not let you read the card in front of her. she just tells you to do it when she's not in the house and you're alone LMFAO
you get her some slacks, since she hates going to malls and stores and getting them herself, as well as some books and tapes she's been interested in. of course, it wouldn't be a proper gift from you without some romance involved to make her blush, hehe, so all of these are paired with something like a bouquet or flowers, or a letter with a lock of hair attached.
all of the gifts have her, like, insanely touched. again, she never thought she'd be be in this position before of having a partner who she's in a committed, devoted bond with, who she actually gets to spend this holiday with. feeling the familiarity and knowledge of her seeping in every gift you hand her, the consideration you put into all of them, has her nearly welling up. along with her mom, you're the sensitive point in her life, the one who has her shaken with fear over losing.
she does make a light joke over your romantic gift, brushing her thumb over it as her lips softly turn up. probably something along the lines of, "you're kind of a sap, aren't you?"
but, months later, when you borrow her jacket to take out the trash, stuffing your hands in her pocket, you freeze at the touch of something unfamiliar buried deep beneath her receipts. when you take it out, you nearly cry at the sight of a dried, crinkled flower from that february day.
you love her, and she loves you. what could be better than that?
+ bonus: her love letter one hundred percent has you bawling. she pours everything into it that she usually struggles to say. the part that has you downright sobbing is when she writes, "I always thought I'd be satisfied to live on my own, with nothing to account for but myself. But, I'd happily cling onto you like a shadow from now on, as long as you're okay with it. I'm yours, completely. And I promise to always keep you safe."
