๐‘๐„๐๐”๐„๐’๐“ โœ” Hii! I've seen your post and the idea of writing Johnny as a marriage counsellor. I thought, maybe you could write marriage COUNSELING with Johnny as your husband. You two haven't been doing well lately. Maybe like he's trying to fix it, but you got tired of trying on your own, so you eventually stopped and now he's trying to make it up to you and make you love him again.
๐’๐‚๐„๐๐€๐‘๐ˆ๐Ž Months of drifting apart and arguments have your relationship hanging on by a thread. You're tired, but you just can't seem to let him go. That is, of course, until he feels how you're slipping away and panics. From that moment on, he promised to make you fall for him, like it was in the beginning.

๐๐€๐ˆ๐‘๐ˆ๐๐† Johnny Depp x f! reader
Tumblr media
You sat in contempt at the dining room table, looking over to the clock on the wall. 12:34 pm. He's still not home. You're not surprised- hurt, disappointed, but not surprised. You thought that maybe your husband would show up for dinner on your anniversary, but apparently you weren't that high on his priority list.
You sighed and stood up, beginning to put the food away that you'd spent hours so carefully making. Your mind wandered back to fonder memories of your time with Johnny, that's all they were now; a memory.
- ๐…๐‹๐€๐’๐‡๐๐€๐‚๐Š -
You unlocked the front door of your apartment, the one you and Johnny had saved up to buy. Giggling and kissing as you made your way through the door.
"Well.. This is it. This is the start of our life together." You whispered over to him, who had wrapped his arms around your waist, and was gently swaying you.
"Trust me, baby, this is only the start. I promise, give it a year or two, and this house will be filled with life. Maybe a few kiddos running around if you'd let me." He gently teased, kissing your cheek and squeezing you softly.
"Yeah, yeah, pipe down, Depp. We're not even married yet." You laughed softly, wrapping yourself up in his affection.
"No, not yet." He agreed, "But trust me when I say, I don't plan on wasting any time in making you my wife."
- ๐„๐๐ƒ ๐Ž๐… ๐…๐‹๐€๐’๐‡๐๐€๐‚๐Š -
You sighed and grabbed the bottle of wine you kept in the fridge, popping it open and taking a sip. No night better than one like this. You just needed something, anything, to drown this ache in your chest. One sip turned into two, then two turned into five, and so ok until you were properly buzzed. Enough to actually get a decent night's sleep.
You stumbled into the bedroom, quickly discarding your nice dress that you'd worn just for the occasion, and climbed into bed, not even bothering to take off the minimal makeup you'd put on.
- ๐Ÿ‘๐‘๐ƒ ๐๐„๐‘๐’๐Ž๐ ๐๐Ž๐• -
It was well past 1 in the morning when Johnny returned, rubbing his eyes from tiredness, as he hung up his keys on the hook next to the front door. He turned on the light and went into the kitchen groggily, looking for a quick something to eat.
Even in his tired state, he took notice of the dinner that was wrapped up, the cake, the bottle of wine- What had he missed? He walked over to the dining room table before he kicked off his shoes, seeing the small envelope on the table, his name on the back with your handwriting.
He furrowed his eyebrows as he quickly tore open the envelope, being greeted with a "Happy Anniversary!" card. His heart sunk further in his chest as he opened it and read the little note his wife had written.
"Happy anniversary, my love! I know how hard you be been working recently, and I missed you dearly. I'm forever thankful to have you in my life.
Xo, your (Y/N)."
Shit. God, he was an idiot. He promised he'd be home early tonight, didn't he? And he couldn't even do that. He felt like the worst husband ever as he set the card down, turning the kitchen light off before setting off for the bedroom down the hallway.
He was quiet, in case (Y/N) was asleep, which he knew she most likely was. As soon as he opened the door, he sighed, seeing (Y/N)'s sleeping figure. As he got closer, simultaneously taking off his work clothes from the day, he could see how she was curled up, tear stains down her pretty face, and he felt awful.
He crawled into bed next to her, knowing that he had hell to make up for tomorrow. Right now, all he could do was hold her all night, hope that she felt her presence in her dreams.
- ๐๐„๐—๐“ ๐Œ๐Ž๐‘๐๐ˆ๐๐†, ๐˜๐Ž๐”๐‘ ๐๐Ž๐• -
You woke up the next morning to the scent of a warm breakfast filling your apartment. You yawned, rubbed your eyes, stretched, and got out of bed, putting your slippers on to go investigate the smell.
As you walked into the kitchen, you saw Johnny over the stove, making french toast. You furrowed your brows, a small frown pulling at your lips as you remembered the hurt he brought you last night.
He was the first to speak, "Hey, good morning, sweetness. You're um.. Up early. I was gonna bring you breakfast in bed." He said, his voice uncharacteristically soft as guilt chewed at him.
"Why? You clearly didn't care to come home last night." You said, still pouting. You were hurt and were going to make sure that he knew it.
He sighed as he finished making the french toast, putting it on a plate for you. "Baby.. Last night was.. God, I was an idiot. I'm sorry, love. I know we've been drifting as is, and I screwed up again. I should've been here, and I wasn't, and I sincerely apologize. Words just simply can't describe how sorry I am. But please let me make it up to you now. I still love you, sweetheart, more than anything, even if I've been doing a shit job at showing it."
You didn't say anything, just sitting down at the table as he put the plate in front of you. But your heart softened a bit when you saw that he put extra syrup on the food, just like you liked it.
He got on his knees in front of you, a bouquet of your favorite flowers in hand. "I've been an awful husband as of lately, babe, but this is me promising that, from here on out, I will do absolutely everything to get our relationship back to the way it was before. If that means turning down projects to be here with you, or doing marriage counselling, or dressing up in a maid costume for a month.." He said, chuckling softly at his last remark, but his words were nothing but sincere, "Than I'll do it." He finished.
A small smile broke on your face as you ran his fingers through his hair. Even after everything, he was still yours and you still loved him. "Okay.. But this is your last straw. I mean it, John." You said seriously, making him take your words in. "Now get up, you look ridiculous."
He chuckled softly, grabbing your hand and kissing it before standing up. "Yes ma'am." He replied, pressing a kiss to the top of your head.
Your marriage was far from fixed, but at least to know that he was trying.. It was a step in the right direction.

No but I'm still looking for the Denny's that is still in the middle of nowhere
having cis guy friends is so funny like youll ask if they wanna hang out and theyll send you to the dark woods
#no joke#my brother. fresh out of the house. 19#years old. rolls up to our house right after midnight with a car full of teenagers. tells me and my little sister to get in.#obviously we're asking questions. where are we going. how long are we going to be gone. what are we doing. why are all these people in here.#and a big ol barn that quite literally looks like it's from a Scooby Doo snapshot. it's falling apart#the whole shebang#he answers NONE of them.#so we get in the back seat. I'm being gay with my friend at the time. and we're chilling listening to tunes on the radio.#except now they're talking about a Denny's. i look to the front seat where my brother is driving and he pulls up pictures on his phone#of the inside of somebody's. house. What?#and if that wasn't weird enough. we had already driven 20 minutes off a sideroad into the middle of nowhere. nothing but grass#and a big ol barn/farmhouse that looks like it came straight out of a Scooby Doo snapshot. it's dark as hell out. the lone building appearin#blue in the dark. with a single orange lantern lit hanging from the top. i look to my brother who has never lead me astray before.#and I feel like i am part of Scooby Doo. five teenagers in a car. in the middle of the night. wondering where the hell Denny's went.#now finally my brother has some wits to him. and we take a tight u turn and turn ourselves around. good. shows over right? WRONG.#this bitch pulls up YET ANOTHER place on his phone and starts driving 15 MINUTES UP ONTO A DIRT ROAD AND KEEPS DRIVING.#we're going to a haunted bridge boys!#in the middle of the night! at like 3am! the witching hour! great plan broski. sounds awesome. good thinking there.#we get to this haunted bridge. and this mf is barely 5ft across. but the water below is dark and murky and my lil sis INSISTS she sees a#dude down below. so I'm silently freaking out because what the hell do i say to that. she's like. 13. i tell her it'll be okay. because#that's what big/middle bros do. we drive over the bridge. nothing happens. cue relaxation. my brother is audibly disappointed#โ€œwell that was uselessโ€ bro you almost took us to Denny's in some cannibalistic farmdudes basement. i think I'll take the barely haunted#bridge. my brother. who still wants to show us an adventure. and probably save face in front of his friends. flips us around yet again and#starts heading off into a whole NEW direction. towards the World's Largest Gas Station!#it is like 4am by now. we're hungry. we're cramping. losing our marbles with exhaustion. and still processing our latest episode with the#Mystery Machine. so fine. I'm taking a nap. just don't get us killed in the long run.#we survived. btw. if that wasn't obvious. and we did actually make it to The World's Biggest Gas Station. and it was pretty fun.#as far as gas stations go at least. i got some honey sticks and a lollipop in the shape of a bear. i don't really like honey. but it wascute#there were walls FILLED with stuffed animals.a whole clothing department. a candy shop. and even a full fledged restaurant on the other side#i think there were even two levels to it? i can't remember. but anyways. we eat. we leave. we survive. end of story.

Steve goes to a gay club for the first time alone. He and Robin, they'd talked about it since moving to Chicago, but every time they made plans he got cold feet.
But on a random, rainy Saturday with Robin back home in Hawkins, he decides fuck it, puts on his sluttiest jeans and polo, and goes to the damn club. He's sick of being nervous--he's going to make out with a guy for the first time tonight.
The club is crowded, loud, sweaty, the energy a pulsing wave. He's overwhelmed immediately, but it's invigorating. He pushes towards the bar, orders a beer, then cozies himself against the nearest wall.
He sips his drink and watches beautiful men dance and kiss and play, and he wants to be part of it, get out there, find his own person to get close to but--
What if none of this is for him? He feels out of place in his clothes, with his hairstyle, an old version of himself that doesn't belong in this world.
There's a swell of sound at the bar, and he glances over, expecting drunks or fighting. Instead, he sees a guy who makes his plans to leave slip straight from his mind.
He's unlike any other person there, even within his group. Long, curly hair, visible tattoos, ripped black jeans, a faded black t-shirt under a big leather jacket. He moves with purpose and grace, obviously uncaring about fitting in.
Steve can't stop watching him, transfixed. He buys another beer, settles back against his wall. He knows it's weird, but can't bring himself to care. Not when it's helping him feel more comfortable in his own skin.
The guy, he's vibrant, the brightest spot, his laughter reaching Steve even over the pounding music.
He's beautiful.
The lights flash, illuminating his face and recognition hits Steve like a fist. It's Eddie Munson, former freak of Hawkins High.
Steve's spine straightens, chest tightening. He can't believe--I mean there were rumors about Eddie in school, but he's here, right now, in Chicago, and Steve--Steve--
He abandons the remains of his beer, rushing out the door.
---
Steve goes back the next night.
He doesn't mean to; didn't have any plans to do it, but the clock turns to 9 and he pulls on the same slutty jeans, this time with an old blue t-shirt a size too small.
It's not because Eddie could be there again, he reassures himself as he shows the bouncer his ID. It's not like he wants to see him or has been thinking about him nonstop. No, it's because tonight's the night he finally makes a move. He needed a test run to find his footing, but now--
Eddie's at the bar. His hair is pulled up, loose tendrils around his face. No jacket this time; the rolled up sleeves of his black t-shirt showing off his wiry muscles, the swirling ink of his tattoos. Something low and hot clenches in Steve's stomach.
There's no way he's going to be preoccupied with Munson tonight. He came here to flirt and dance and maybe get lucky, and he'll ignore Eddie. He will.
Steve orders a beer, sits at the bar this time, his eyes lingering on black ink and pale skin. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to tear his eyes away from the ease and assurance Eddie moves with. He's so unafraid to take up space, it's intoxicating.
He loses track of Munson when he orders a second drink, his face no longer immediately visible in the crowd. Disappointment sinks his stomach until a voice to his left says, "You better be planning to buy me a drink, pretty boy."
The voice is low, oddly melodic, and he turns to find Eddie Munson's sparkling brown eyes gazing down at him. He's surprised, hides it, says, "Sure. What are you having?"
Eddie's mouth opens, but his eyes narrow. "Wait--Steve Harrington??"
"Um." His mouth goes dry. "Munson. Hi?"
"I--uh--wouldn't think this was your scene." Eddie shifts back, puts distance between them, and Steve hates it. Hates that Munson thinks the space is necessary, hates that he used to a person that made people feel that way.
"Yeah, well. A lot has changed since high school."
"Is that right? Surely not this much."
"Wouldn't you like to know."
Eddie's eyebrow lifts, but his mouth is a tight line. "Have a cigarette with me."
Steve nods and follows him out a side door into a narrow alley. Eddie pulls out two cigarettes, hands one to Steve. There's something about the cold politeness that sends a fizzle of disappointment down his spine.
"What brings you here?" Eddie asks.
"To Chicago or to this club?"
"Don't be cute."
"Can't help it." He smirks and Eddie rolls his eyes. "I moved to Chicago three months ago with my best friend, Robin. I'm at this club trying to explore my bisexuality."
Eddie's in the middle of taking a drag, splutters on the smoke. "Holy Shit."
He shrugs, knows he's blushing. "What can I say? I've spent the last few years learning about myself."
"And one of the things was that you like dick?"
"Looks like it."
'Well, goddamn, Steve Harrington."
"Impressed?"
Eddie licks his lips, steps closer. "Maybe I am."
"I aim to please." Steve lets himself grin.
"I bet you do," Eddie's voice goes even lower, and heat dances deep in Steve's stomach. "Wanna dance?"
"Thought you'd never ask." Steve blinks up at Eddie from under his eyelashes.
They go inside and join the bodies packed on the dance floor. At first, they keep their distance, dancing and laughing with an arm's length between them, but it's not long before they're drawn together, arms twining, legs pressed together. Their eyes lock, Steve can't look away, wouldn't even if he wanted to. Eddie's hands go to his waist, pull him closer.
"You're gorgeous, Harrington," he says it with his lips pressed to Steve's ear, goosebumps spreading across his skin.
"Yeah?"
"Can I tell you a secret?"
"Of course."
Eddie's mouth presses closer. "I used to have the biggest crush on you in high school."
"Fuck, Eddie," he says. "That's so--"
"Weird?"
"Fucking hot, dude."
"Can I tell you another secret?" Eddie's voice is all rumble.
"Course,"
"I can't stop thinking about kissing you."
"You could do something about it."
Eddie smiles, eyes going darker, almost predatory. He leans in, their breath mingling, Steve's hitching.
"You sure you want me to?" Eddie asks, mouth barely brushing Steve's.
"Please," and it comes out like he's been punched.
He thinks the kiss will be hard, hot, but Eddie's hand is gentle as it cups the back of his head, slowly pulls him in. It's a soft meeting of mouths, almost tender. His head is swimming, blood thrumming low and hot and sweet. He parts his lips and then all he can feel, taste, sense is Eddie.
It cracks something inside him, and his fingers dig into the fabric of Eddie's shirt, eagerly licking into his mouth. It must crack something in Eddie too, because he's hauling Steve impossibly closer until his legs have to wrap around Eddie's waist, or they're falling.
They break apart with a breathless laugh, both red cheeked and bright eyed. They don't move apart, instead they dance and make out until the music stops and the lights come up.
Eddie twines their fingers together as they walk to the exit, Steve sweaty and elated and a little head over heels.
Out on the sidewalk, basking in the cool air, Eddie stops him. "Can I--uh, take you for a drink? Or back to my place? I don't--not to assume, but I--"
"Both. Anywhere," Steve laughs. "I don't want this night to end."
Eddie's smile is brilliant, heart stopping. "Your wish is my command."

"DO BETTER!" Says Now Televised Fanboy
He, Dash Baxter is a Phan-Stan!! It's kinda his thing. See, he's a fancy ass talk show host now. Married Paulie, moved out of Amity, actually DID something with his life. His parents? Did not approve. Long n short of it? He got kicked out.
Paulie's parents were PISSED.
Retaliated by giving him all the help he needed getting EVERY scholarship he qualified for. He went to a really nice college. Missed his girlfriend like mad. But she was off in Metropolis, terrifying weaker men. Conquering the fashion scene.
And SOMEHOW? Thanks to that long talk he had with Phantom (*incoherent fanboy gibbering noises* SO COOL!) he's worked to be... more of a LEADER, you know? Less of an asshole. Cause he's popular. People copy him. He can't be an asshole.
So, somehow, when he's punching out some try-hard that thinks he's hot shit for bullying a Nerd? He and the nerd get talking, right? Cause the guy got his glasses completely fucked up. And it's what Phantom would do.
But GET THIS? Guy's never HEARD of Phantom! Is super curious, cause he runs a small time Hero's show on the web. And, Dude? Is it your LUCKY DAY! Cause you just met THE number 1 fan of Phantom, hands down!! He makes his VERY spirited case, about why Phantom is THE best Hero to ever have lived. And this guy?
Entranced.
In AWE.
Just straight up BEGS him to join his show. Cause apparently? He was BORN for it. Which? Yeah. He HAS been giving speechs to the team for YEARS now. And Talking at fan meet ups. Leading fan meet ups. Hosting parties... actually, now that he thinks about it? He DOES do a lot of public speaking? Huh.
But still, he's about to say "no", when?
Dude mentions? He'll get to talk about Phantom.
SOLD!
It. Blows. Up. Absolutely EVERYONE is in love with his pretty face, hot bod, and STRONG opinions. But they ALSO have no idea who Phantom is! Paulie! This is CRIMINAL! Horrifying! What is going ON!?
Some bullshit information black out, apparently. At least according to her... friendly Nemesis? The Goth Dweeb. Who's engaged, apparently? So good for her. Unsurprisingly, it's too the OTHER Dweebs, but still. Bout time she started planning to drag them to a court house. She's the only one with any spine in that group! If she waited for THEM to propose?
Not even as Ghosts, man.
They'd get distracted by shiny nerd shit and whimp out.
Still... a world where NO ONE knows how Awesome, Phantom is? Not on HIS watch!
So he works it in. To every segment. It becomes "his thing". Oh? Super man saved a kitten from a tree? Cute. Well PHANTOM saved a bus full of Ghost Puppies from a shady, rouge, Goverment agency. Do BETTER, Superman!
The Flash, who is a cheap knock-off and stole his name, took down an Ice Villian? Adorable! PHANTOM stopped a Rouge WINTER SPIRIT with the help of YETI WARRIORS then assisted in giving FREE medical care for anyone who needed it! Here's a picture of him making GHOST ICE SNOWMEN for small children! Do BETTER, Knock-off!
What's THAT you say? Wonder Woman fought a GOD in down town paris?
Excellent work Wonder Woman. Flawless as always. But YOU, god-boy, are a disappointment! All that power! And WHAT do you use it for? Are you even supposed to BE here?? PHANTOM uses his power to HELP people! Is awesome and knows TONS of better gods! You're just salty you didn't make the cut!
DO BETTER!
And obviously? No one believes him. There's no record of this "Phantom" guy. The pictures look fantastical and vaguely glitchy/glowy. Not quite right. They GOTTA be photo shopped. Manipulated somehow. But? As a shtick? A fake "perfect Superhero" is kinda funny and unique.
And it's one hell of Fake Hero!
A Dead Champion? Who fights gods and monsters? Rouge agencies? Sassy and tragic? With a mysterious past? Pretty cool! There's even an Offical Comic from some guy that went to the same high-school as Baxter!
Of course, as Baxter get more and more popular? The "meme" hero, Phantom, get more well known? People get more interested in where Dash grew up. You know, just a bored Google. Maybe see if the hero was based off a local legend or something. But... huh...
The Town website?
Weirdly? Sanitized.
Like... like aggressively sanitized. All smooth edges and no details. Very "move along, citizen". Ha ha... it's part of the joke right? They get it! They'll just look up local restaurants or som-....
Wait...
Hey, guuuuys?
Are you finding ANYTHING?
And! Nothing. And I do mean NOTHING! Triggers the "oh? Secrets???" Instincts of a Hacker, like finding a hard blank wall of "KEEP OUT". Especially when it's somewhere it rightfully shouldn't BE.
All it would take? Is ONE person, of decent skills and an account on Certain Forums, getting bored enough to Google the Dude On The TV(TM)? For the GIW's lil walls to come crashing down. Because yeah, you can stop ONE hacker. Even two. Probably five or six.
But how about thousands?
Hundreds of thousands?
From every time zone. Competing. Just to see what you HAVE and don't want them to see. Maybe they do something with it, maybe they don't. But fuck it, you're being RUDE and now they're CURIOUS. And THEN? Oh. Oh holy shit.
Not a meme.
Very real.
Not a joke.
The walls come crumbling down, down, down. Ripped apart by hundreds of hands. Emails sent to every sort of agency. The JLU line inundated with emergency tips. Not a joke. Not A Joke. Holy Shit, IT WASN'T A JOKE!
Phantom is REAL!
And there, on TV, stands the Man. The signal FINALLY breaching containment. Fighting off the invading God of the week. Built like statue, hair like an aurora borealis of white fire held almost delicately in place by a CROWN of ice, a suit made of void and starlight. Inhuman. Beyond human.
Here to help.
A laugh that crackles like ice and the snap of winter, rolls through the air like coming storms, rich and somehow warm. A smile that bares teeth, yet turns so KIND when he looks upon humanity, as though we are precious and worth fighting for. A living star.
A... a once living star.
And in the center of it all? Wearing his BESPOKE, custome made, Number 1 Phan full body outfit? That's right. Dash Baxter. Ha! You fuckers doubted him! Behold his blorbo and WEEP, ya fuckin casuals! The BESTEST of boys! The FINEST of Heros! Superman? Could NEVER.
And now? The weather!

Sex Tutor II
Tumblr media
Summary: It feels like you and Harry are looking for different things. You aren't cut out for casual and Harry doesn't have time to focus on a relationship. But feelings are complicated and Harry doesn't even know what he wants until he realizes he can't stop thinking about you.
A/N: Here she is! The final part! I hope y'all enjoy! Part I Here
Word Count: 13.375
Warning: smut, angst, fluff, praise kink, size kink (kind of)
. .
It was another round of disappointment with Gunther after the 2nd time. Not only because he was so unenthusiastic and he wouldnโ€™t return the favor (still), but because you really couldnโ€™t stop thinking about Harry. About how good it had been with him.
As you were going down on Gunther you kept sucking him in and it just didnโ€™t feel the same. He smelled different, and not necessarily bad but it wasnโ€™t as pleasant as it could have been. Heโ€™d definitely sprayed some kind of cologne on and you could taste the bitterness of it on your tongue. And he was kind of rough with you. Pressed the back of your head down and grunted once or twice. You even attempted to run your finger over the spot Harry showed you and he got all squicked out by it thinking you were trying to put it in his butthole. And that reaction had totally ruined the moment for you.
Just like the first time, you left his dorm and walked back to yours alone in the dark with nothing but your thoughts and a touch of disgust. You considered reaching out to Harry. He did mention to you that you could call him anytime. And you were left fully unsatisfied by Gunther. There was no part of you that didnโ€™t believe Harry could satisfy you every which way.
You figured youโ€™d call it quits with Gunther after that and maybe youโ€™d contact Harry again. But to your surprise, he contacted you first.
H: How did it go with Gunther?
You were working on a paper at your desk when you saw his message. Of course, you stopped everything to respond.
Not great. He did cum, though. So I guess thatโ€™s good! lol
H: Did you also cum?
You swallowed and bit your lip as you felt your cheeks heat up at that question.
No.
It took a bit for him to respond. You werenโ€™t sure if he was in the middle of something or if he didnโ€™t have anything more to say, or maybe it was that he was thinking of how to word his response. And by then you had a hard time getting back into working on your paper so you called it quits for the day and decided to shower.
You kept wondering what was on Harryโ€™s mind. Wondered if you should follow up with him. Ask him to see you again. And when you got out of your shower you had planned out a whole message to type out to him. Youโ€™d ask him for another lesson and see if he had any time. Youโ€™d be kind of putting yourself out there but Harry had been so nice and it was so good with him you hadnโ€™t stopped thinking about that night.
But there was already a message from Harry waiting for you when you picked up your phone.
H: I think you should come over again. You didnโ€™t get what you needed from him and Iโ€™ll happily make up for it. Show you what itโ€™s supposed to be like.
You laid your phone down on your sink counter and grinned, your heart thumping wildly in your chest. Because yes! Yes, youโ€™d go to his and let him take care of you. God, youโ€™d love to give him another blow job too.
Only if you want. When were you thinking?
His response came faster than you expected.
H: Are you free tonight? Say 6 or so?
You werenโ€™t technically free. You needed to finish your paper but fuck it. Harry would be worth a rushed final product.
That works for me : )
You met him at Maudโ€™s like the first time. Only this time you bought his tea and a sandwich for him. He told you it wasnโ€™t necessary but you felt like it was the least you could do. You walked back to his apartment together and told him about your paper that was due and he talked about his thesis. Harry was an interesting person. He wasnโ€™t just eye candy, he had real depth. And he was kind.
โ€œSo why donโ€™t you have a T.V.?โ€ You asked as you sat on his couch and he plopped down next to you, drawing his arm over your shoulder.
โ€œNo time really. Iโ€™m telling you, I am almost always studying and doing coursework. Used to have one but it was too much of a distraction.โ€
You laughed, โ€œAnd this isnโ€™t a distraction?โ€ You motioned your hand between yourself and Harry.
He shifted his seating and his hand moved from your shoulder to the side of your neck as he gently pulled at you, โ€œOh itโ€™s a distraction all right. But this is the kind thatโ€™s worth it. Television has never been worth missing out on a good study sesh,โ€ he laughed and you laid your palm on his chest.
โ€œWell, I hope itโ€™s worth it. Donโ€™t feel like Iโ€™m all that amazing. Kind of juโ€“โ€œ
Your words were abruptly cut off with his mouth over yours. You let out a surprised squeak and Harry laughed against your lips, โ€œSorryโ€ฆ just want you, Y/nโ€ฆโ€
You were a goner. You had never felt so sexy in your life as in that moment. Harry seemed quite ravenous and you didnโ€™t know if it was because he was just horny in general or if it was because of you but the way he was licking at your mouth and touching your hip and moaning it felt a lot like he was simply into you. At least thatโ€™s what you were going to believe.
He got you into his bed again, your pants and sweater on the floor as he kissed your tummy. Your head was spinning, โ€œYour lesson today,โ€ he spoke between soft pecks over your skin, โ€œIs to see how special you are. How you deserve to feel good. To be with someone whoโ€™s going to worship youโ€ฆโ€
He hadnโ€™t even touched your clit and it was already throbbing under your cotton panties. The man knew just what to say and you couldnโ€™t help but melt into his mattress and moan his name.
You didnโ€™t have much experience. But you knew one thing and that was that Harry was really really good. He pulled an orgasm from you like an expert, fingers tucked deep into your pussy with his tongue and lips sliding expertly over your sensitive clit. You could hardly even remember getting your clothes off but you didnโ€™t forget his words as he pushed your thighs apart and nosed at your pussy, โ€œSo sweet, honey,โ€ he looked up at you, โ€œCan I call you honey?โ€
Honey. You didnโ€™t mind. Of course not. He could call you whatever he wanted.
And when you finally came down from your orgasm, you shivered as he kept sucking on your clit. You tried pushing at his forehead and he hardly budged as he lifted his mouth from your pussy, โ€œRelax. One more okay? Give me one more, honey?โ€
Fuck. You were not sure how you were going to survive this man.
When you were panting and sweating after your second orgasm Harry laid next to you and kissed your neck and told you how sweet and perfect you were. You tried returning the favor but he just shook his head and pulled your hand away from his obvious erection to kiss your knuckles, โ€œThis wasnโ€™t about me tonight. Just for you, okay? Iโ€™m fine. Took care of myself before you came over anyway.โ€
โ€œBut youโ€™re hardโ€ฆโ€
โ€œAnd I promise you that Iโ€™m fine. You deserve to be taken care of, Y/n. Donโ€™t like how youโ€™ve been neglected. Want you to just get what you need tonight.โ€
You stayed at Harryโ€™s for another couple of hours. Just talking and laughing. It was like you two had always known one another. You learned a little about his childhood and you told him about yours. He was sweet and easy to talk to and you loved how he kept holding your hand and pinching your bottom lip as youโ€™d talk. And when it was time to go he called you an Uber again, to which you protested, telling him that was unnecessary.
โ€œItโ€™s absolutely necessary. Donโ€™t want anything to happen to you and this way I can watch the route and make sure you get where you need to go.โ€
It was like you were another person for the next week and a half. You were feeling quite confident and you ignored Guntherโ€™s text to โ€œhang outโ€. Harry made you feel like you deserved more. Even if youโ€™d never have anything serious with Harry, he sure made you feel special.
But one night when you and your roommate were hanging out at a sorority house, you overheard something that made your stomach turn.
โ€œYou stayed the whole night?โ€
โ€œYep. He asked me to. Fucked me so good I almost couldnโ€™t walk and heโ€™s just so niceโ€ฆ I kind of thought heโ€™d have me leave but he said he wanted to make sure I was okay.โ€
โ€œWhatโ€™s he like?โ€
โ€œWell, everything about him is justโ€ฆโ€ the girl grinned and bit her lip with that dreamy, faraway look in her eye, โ€œHeโ€™s so hot up close too. His bodyโ€ฆ holy shit, you should see this manโ€™s body! But his dickโ€ฆ when I felt that thing inside of me, I was a dickmatized. Heโ€™s big and itโ€™s justโ€ฆ perfect. But itโ€™s not just that heโ€™s got a big cock, heโ€™s likeโ€ฆ super nice and just knows how to orchestrate the whole experience. Talked me through it all, it was so sexy, and he knows what heโ€™s doing.โ€
โ€œAnd youโ€™re gonna ask for another session?โ€
The girl nods, โ€œOh yeah. I already did. Well, the morning when I left he fucked me again and then ate me out and told me to call him if I ever needed anything. So I obviously called himโ€ฆโ€
Harry wasnโ€™t your boyfriend. He was a single man who had a reputation. He was known for this very thing. So why did it bother you? Why did it make you feel nauseated and jealous? You didnโ€™t even get to have full-on sex with him. It was just oral sex both times, but it felt like you missed out in a way, not having the opportunity to have him like that. But perhaps it was better that you hadnโ€™t had actual sex. Because your wandering thoughts and feelings were betraying your good senses. Images in your brain of you and Harry being a couple were silly. That was never going to happen. Maybe continuing to see Harry would be a bad idea after all. You were already feeling things for him that you shouldnโ€™t be.
And, so, when Gunther called you again the day after you heard that story you decided to answer the call and give him yet another chance. He asked for another โ€œdateโ€. But this time you told him you wanted to actually go out somewhere first. Like on a real date. Maybe a change of scenery would be nice. Maybe the third time would be the charm, as they say. Perhaps if you gave him one more shot heโ€™d redeem himself. Maybe youโ€™d finally get what you were looking for all along.
So there you both were on a Saturday night at the bar with house music playing. You were readying yourself for another round of disappointment and being left unsatisfied when he refused to dance with you. The bar you two had gone to had a DJ every Saturday night and you thought it could be fun to have a couple of drinks, eat some bar food, and dance a bit. But Gunther didnโ€™t want to get up off his stool and he went way beyond just a couple of drinks. You werenโ€™t sure how many he had at that point but it had become clear that he just wanted to drink and get back to his room so he could get his dick sucked and send you on your way.
This time, however, there would be no blow job. You had already decided on Ubering back to your dorm alone afterward. You just had to figure out how to break it to Gunther first.
.ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย  .
Harry had been wondering about you since the last time he saw you. The nervous pretty girl who wound up being quite the breath of fresh air for him. He didnโ€™t expect you to call him for another session but he kind of hoped you would. Or at least just a text to hang out. The last night he had you at his place he felt like you were an old friend. A hot friend who he wanted to bang, but a friend, someone he felt comfortable with who he could talk to all night. He was surprised at how easily the conversation flowed with you. And so it was kind of disappointing when you didnโ€™t reach out to him again. He felt like maybe you werenโ€™t that into him.
He even wound up having to cancel on someone heโ€™d made plans with. He wasnโ€™t sure he was ready to look at anyone else naked. He needed time to get his head on straight. Which just meant he was concerned heโ€™d be thinking about you while he was with someone else. And that was something he refused to do with anyone; think about one person while being with another.
And now it was almost two weeks later and he was still thinking about you. Kept wanting to text you to ask how you were. To see if you wanted to just hang out. He figured if you wanted more youโ€™d reach out. He didnโ€™t want to assume you felt whatever it was he felt. He wasnโ€™t even quite sure what he was feeling.
So when his friend invited him to go out for a few drinks he thought it would be a good opportunity to get his mind off of you so he decided why not? He didnโ€™t often go out to drink. He didnโ€™t have time for it, truth be told. But his buddy wanted to celebrate landing a big job and Harry said he could only hang out for a couple of hours because he had to be up early the following morning to study but he could use a couple of hours away from schoolwork to let loose a bit.
The bar was packed and the room was loud with music and an open dancefloor where people were dancing and flirting. He figured heโ€™d go out and dance for a song or two after a couple of beers and then call it a night. As he was on his second pint he gazed around at the tables with girls in their short dresses and guys trying their hardest to impress and thatโ€™s when he spotted you. He felt his heart float up into his throat and then he narrowed in his sight to see who you were with. Gunther.
Harry had looked up this Gunther guy. He was easy to find. He was following you on Instagram and being that there werenโ€™t many called Gunther he knew right away it was him. Why did he look him up? It was just another thing that had Harry a bit perplexed. Being someone on the path to becoming a sex therapist, one would think Harry had more of an idea of what was going on in his own head. But maybe it was more just a matter of whether or not he was ready to admit what he was feeling.
You appeared bored. Annoyed maybe. You had your chin propped in your hand and you were swirling your drink with a straw. Your eyes were focused on the dance floor and Gunther was looking a bit tipsy. He was staring at his phone. If Harry were there with you heโ€™d have his whole attention on you. He wouldnโ€™t even be thinking about his phone. Hell, he had his whole attention on you now and he wasnโ€™t even there with you.
He wondered what it was you saw in Gunther. He knew the man wasnโ€™t doing it for you. He could just see it in your posture. If you had been well fucked, or at least satisfied on some level, and given the attention you deserved your demeanor would have been different. Harry could do that for you. Heโ€™d seen how you responded to a good orgasm and how relaxed and confident you got when you were satisfied.
When he saw you sip the last of your drink and say something to your date, who didnโ€™t even so much as give you a glance, you got up and made your way to the dancefloor when the new song came on.
Watching you sway and dance alone had Harryโ€™s heart rhythm increasing. Your dress was riding up your legs and you had your arms raised and your eyes closed. It was clear you were just trying to enjoy your time whether or not Gunther was. He was glad you were dancing and doing your own thing.
โ€œWhoโ€™s the girl?โ€ Harryโ€™s friend asked as two more guys joined them at the table.
โ€œY/n. A friend.โ€
โ€œI bet. You gonna go be her friend again tonight?โ€ Paulโ€™s elbow teasingly poked at Harryโ€™s arm.
Harry nodded, โ€œYou know what? Maybe I will. Looks like she could use some company.โ€
Leaving his beer behind at the table with his mates Harry scanned his eyes back towards Gunther who was still enmeshed in whatever was on his cell phoneโ€™s screen. He couldnโ€™t believe the guy wasnโ€™t watching you dance. You were a sight.
Harry wound his way through the crowd before he got close enough that he could get your attention. But your eyes were still closed as you sensually moved your hips and swayed to the beat. He began to dance, only a few feet in front of you as he watched you move and feel the music. He stepped in closer, glimpsing down over the skin on your neck and up to how your lips were slightly parted, a bit of sweat building at your brow line.
And when you finally opened your eyes to see the very man youโ€™d had on your mind it came as quite the surprise. You blinked your lashes at him as he grinned down at you, โ€œHarry?โ€
Your smile stretched over your face as you continued letting the music guide your movements and he took your hand, gently pulling you closer to breach the space between you, โ€œHi.โ€
โ€œHi,โ€ you gazed up at him like you were in a dream. Was he really here? โ€œWhat are you doing here?โ€
He laughed and moved his hand to your hip, โ€œCame out with some friends,โ€ he glanced toward the table where Gunther was still laser-focused on his phone, โ€œI see youโ€™ve come with someone as well.โ€
You followed his gaze and then looked back up at him, โ€œYeah. Was trying to give him one more shot.โ€
Harryโ€™s big hand had a firm grip on your hip as you both moved away from the sight of Gunther, still dancing, โ€œOne more shot? You think heโ€™s worth it?โ€
Shaking your head you laid your palm over his chest, โ€œI donโ€™t know. Just wanted to see.โ€
Harry let out a laugh and shook his head, โ€œYou think heโ€™s gonna satisfy you? Or you think youโ€™ll be left wanting once again?โ€
You felt your face warm up as you shook your head no and shrugged.
โ€œThen why are you here with him, Y/n?โ€
You shrugged again and looked down at the collar of his shirt, โ€œJust wanted to see if a night out would make it better.โ€
Harry pulled his free hand around the back of your hip and ducked his head down to your line of sight, โ€œAnd look at him over there. Not paying you the attention you deserve. If it were me Iโ€™d be out here dancing with you and showing you off to everyone.โ€
You laughed, that smile he was searching for back on your face again, โ€œYou are technically out here dancing with me.โ€
โ€œSee? I say what I mean. Youโ€™re too special to waste your night with him. You planning on leaving here with him after?โ€
โ€œDonโ€™t think so. I mean look at himโ€ฆ he doesnโ€™t care if Iโ€™m here or not. He probably just wants his blow job and heโ€™s suffering through all this just to get his balls drained,โ€ you laughed and covered your mouth with your free hand. You didnโ€™t know whatโ€™d gotten into you saying that but you didnโ€™t regret it when Harry let out a loud guffaw.
โ€œItโ€™s cause youโ€™re so good, Y/n,โ€ Harry ran his hand up your spine to wrap his fingers along the back of your neck, and he ducked his mouth close to your ear to speak, โ€œYou know that right? How good you are? Got me all flustered right now thinking about it. Donโ€™t go back with him. Heโ€™s not worth it.โ€
Your eyes fluttered when you felt his warm breath on your ear and down your neck. You loved what he was saying to you but you also knew he was probably just being nice. Like he was to everyone. Like he had been to that girl he let stay over after you. While you were pining over him he was fucking another.
Not that you had any right to be jealous. There were no strings in this relationship.
โ€œI think Iโ€™ll just get an Uber back to my place. Thatโ€™s what I was planning anyway,โ€ you turned in to respond to him.
Harry moved you to the rhythm slowly and the feel of his hands on you was exciting. But you didnโ€™t want to get caught up in how it all felt because you knew youโ€™d just get attached to him. He was so nice and so good and being with him had you feeling like you were special to him. Though, you knew the truth. You were just like everyone else.
Except that every time you looked into his eyes it was deep and there was a well of emotion or something that couldnโ€™t just mean nothing. But maybe that was just you being the silly optimist that you were.
โ€œCanโ€™t believe he didnโ€™t give you anything,โ€ his gaze seared over your face, โ€œCanโ€™t believe he wouldnโ€™t want to.โ€
You felt his hand gently squeeze the back of your neck and his heart was pumping healthily under your palm. He ducked down again, his voice vibrating off the shell of your ear and the heat of his body enveloping yours, โ€œHeโ€™s missing out because youโ€™re so sweet. Feel lucky I got to taste you and he never has. Might sound selfish but I hope you donโ€™t let him.โ€
You panted when his lips grazed over your earlobe and then he planted a hot kiss to the skin just underneath, โ€œLet me have you again. Come back to mine and Iโ€™ll make sure youโ€™re taken care of. Want to taste you and feel, Y/n. Missed youโ€ฆโ€
Your brain was blurry as he smudged his lips down your neck. Your skin pricked in delight at the cool air that hit every damp spot left behind by his mouth.
โ€œWhat the fuck?โ€
Your little bubble burst when you heard Guntherโ€™s voice. Harry kept his arm around your low back, continuing to hold you close.
โ€œDudeโ€ฆ what is this?โ€
โ€œItโ€™sโ€ฆ Gunther this is Harโ€“โ€œ
โ€œI donโ€™t care who he is. Why is he dancing with you and kissing you?โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s a good question,โ€ Harry responded, โ€œYou should have been out here with her but you were too interested in your phone to notice that someone else was enjoying her company and paying attention to her like she deserves.โ€
Gunther laughed and stumbled forward, trying to pry Harryโ€™s hand from your waist, โ€œCome onโ€ฆโ€
โ€œGo home, Gunther,โ€ Harry moved you behind his back and stood tall to look down on your date.
Gunther looked at you, dumbfounded, โ€œIs this guy for real?โ€
You nodded and grabbed onto Harryโ€™s arm, โ€œYeah. You should leave and get some rest. I think youโ€™ve had too much to drink. Iโ€™m sorryโ€“โ€œ
โ€œDonโ€™t apologize to him. He should have been acting like your date.โ€
โ€œSo, youโ€™re not coming back to my room with me? My roommateโ€™s out all night, Y/nโ€ฆโ€
Shaking your head you stepped next to Harry, โ€œNo. Iโ€™m not. I think Iโ€™m just gonna go home myselfโ€“โ€œ
Harry looked down at you, โ€œYou sure you want to go home?โ€
โ€œFine. This was a lame date, anyway,โ€ Gunther laughed and pointed at you, โ€œDonโ€™t call me again.โ€
Rolling your eyes as your date walked off you looked back up at Harry who was still looking down at you with a confused expression, โ€œYou really donโ€™t want to come with me?โ€
You swallowed and let go of his arm, โ€œItโ€™s not thatโ€ฆ Itโ€™s just kind of complicated and a mess of things I donโ€™t want to explainโ€ฆโ€
Harry took your hand, โ€œTry me.โ€
You shook your head as you both moved away from the crowd of swaying bodies, โ€œThis isnโ€™t a therapy session, Harry. I have real feelings and Iโ€™m not cut out for casual like some people.โ€
He followed you toward your table where you had left your purse. You wanted to make sure you got it before anyone else did.
โ€œWhat does that mean, Y/n? Talk to me.โ€
When you pulled your purse over your shoulder you shrugged as you looked up at him, โ€œCome on Harry. You know what I mean. You and I are in different leagues. You are having fun and sleeping with all these people, which youโ€™re totally allowed to do! And I barely have any experience and was even so desperate that I went out with Gunther again in hopes of some kind of connectionโ€“โ€œ
โ€œHey,โ€ Harry softly grabbed your face and let the pads of his thumbs graze over your cheekbones, โ€œYou and me have a connection. And there are no leagues, Y/nโ€ฆ thatโ€™s something made up.โ€
You puffed out a laugh but you really wanted to melt into him, at his soft touch, โ€œBut weโ€™re looking for different things, Harry. And thatโ€™s fine, reallyโ€ฆ I should goโ€ฆโ€ You began to walk toward the exit and Harry followed you out the doors.
The silence and the darkness outside were only tempered by the streetlights with the noise of a car passing and the bass of the music coming from inside the bar youโ€™d just walked out of.
โ€œI hope you donโ€™t think I took your company for granted, Y/n. I really, genuinely like you. Havenโ€™t stopped thinking about you since our last night together.โ€
You nodded with a faint smile, โ€œThatโ€™s nice to hear. I know youโ€™re a super nice guy, Harry. And I hope this doesnโ€™t sound rude or anythingโ€ฆ but itโ€™s just hard for me to really believe you were thinking much of me afterward. I imagine you stay booked and busy.โ€
Harryโ€™s brows stitched together, โ€œBooked and busy? I donโ€™t just have lots of girls over all the time, Y/n. I am a busy man though. Iโ€™m in my coursework program and working on my thesis. Iโ€™m not just fucking around all the time. Havenโ€™t had anyone over since you, actually.โ€
You narrowed your eyes at him, โ€œNo? What about a pretty blond who stayed the night with you? Iโ€™m guessing it was last week?โ€
He shook his head, โ€œHad no one over last week.โ€
โ€œReally?โ€ You looked down at the concrete sidewalk and wondered if youโ€™d gotten it wrong. You swore it sounded like she had just seen him the way she was talking.
Harry pulled your hand into his, โ€œYouโ€™re the last girl I had over. Was supposed to see someone the other day but I canceled. Wasnโ€™t feeling it anymore.โ€
You sighed, โ€œI meanโ€ฆ obviously you can do what you want and see who you please. Iโ€™m justโ€ฆ my point is that Iโ€™m worried about getting attached. Youโ€™re good at casual and Iโ€™m not. Soโ€ฆ seeing you again might be fine for you but for me, it holds so much more meaning. Itโ€™s just how Iโ€™m programmed. I canโ€™t help it.โ€
He nodded and bit the inside of his cheek. He didnโ€™t know why that little confession had his heart twisting, โ€œI see. So you wouldnโ€™t want to see me again then?โ€
โ€œItโ€™s not that I wouldnโ€™t want to. I think youโ€™re fun and we had a really good time but I donโ€™t know if I can handle being one of the many. When I overheard someone talking about sleeping with youโ€ฆโ€ you shook your head, โ€œI was sick to my stomach even though I have no right to feel that way. Does that make sense? And Iโ€™m not like saying,โ€ you gestured your arms about, โ€œโ€ฆ that Iโ€™m already attached or anything. Itโ€™s just I am not cut out for being with someone whoโ€™s also sleeping with others. So itโ€™s better to cut our losses. My lossesโ€ฆ before I actually get hurt.โ€
Harry could understand that. Heโ€™d dealt with this before. Girls getting jealous of other girls. And so then at that point, it was time to part ways as amicably as possible. Because Harry was a single man and not ready for commitments like that. His only commitments were finishing his thesis, getting his doctorate, and working toward opening his own practice one day. That was where his heart was. Not with any one girl who might come along. Perhaps one day heโ€™d settle down. After he met all his lifeโ€™s goals first.
But looking at you and your pretty eyes, the ones that had him in a trance, the ones he couldnโ€™t stop thinking about that had him canceling on another girlโ€ฆ well he was quite torn. He didnโ€™t know what he was feeling exactly. All he knew was that he had a plan, a path heโ€™d forged and would continue on until he got what he wanted. And never in that plan did he imagine meeting someone along the way who could disrupt any part of that.
โ€œI wish youโ€™d reconsider.โ€
You shook your head as you looked at his soft green irises, wondering if that would be the last time youโ€™d get to see them up close. You wanted to repeat his words to him. I wish you๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝd reconsider. Because thatโ€™s what it would take. You couldnโ€™t do casual and youโ€™d drive yourself mad knowing he was sleeping with others. There was nothing wrong with Harry. In fact he was quite astonishing and impressive. But that would only make the eventual parting even worse for you and so you figured it was better this way. It would be nice to have him again but youโ€™d just be falling deeper into that hole. You knew yourself all too well.
Your Uber had arrived and you smiled up at Harry, โ€œI canโ€™t. I found myself thinking about you too much and just imagining how itโ€™d be if we did moreโ€ฆ Iโ€™d really be a mess. But truly, youโ€™ve been so great, Harry. I wish you all the best.โ€
You climbed into the back of the black Toyota and Harry thought he should stop you. He thought he should climb in after you and tell you that you were making a mistake. That he really didnโ€™t know what he was doing but he couldnโ€™t just let you leave like that. He could figure it out if he did it with you.
But God, what was he thinking? Why would he do that? He didnโ€™t know you well enough to be making such big decisions that could derail the very rigid plans heโ€™d already made for himself. So he let you go. He watched as the car took you down the street until you were out of sight completely and he felt like something was missing. For the first time ever there was a pit in his gut, an obstruction that had him faltering. Had he just fucked up? Or had he done something that was for the better?
He honestly didnโ€™t know.
.ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย  .ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย  .
The university you attended was like a small town. Thousands of people attended classes and milled about the campus every day. And despite how many people there were gossip was quickly and easily spread. It shouldnโ€™t have surprised you because if there was one thing a college girly was good at, it was gossiping and learning more details about gossip they heard. And who happened to be one of the most talked about grad students on campus? To your utter dismay, the name of one of the most popular and attractive guys at university was Harry Styles. Youโ€™d never paid much attention to it before you met him. But now every time his name came up you were all ears.
Now you didnโ€™t go believing all the things you heard in general. Most gossip was easy enough to ignore or brush off as inconsequential or probably a downright lie. But your ears did perk up when you were at a frat party and you heard Harryโ€™s name mentioned. And the only reason you even heard it was because your roommate was chatting with a girl who was talking about him.
โ€œYeah, I guess Harryโ€™s been seeing people but not doing anything with them. Like he brings them to his place or whatever and then he just freezes and apologizes but Lora said, and Iโ€™m just saying what I heard from her, that he really liked some chick and she didnโ€™t want to see him again and he canโ€™t get over her or something?โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s interesting. I heard he canceled on someone a month ago- Amyโ€™s friend who hung out with him once. So maybe this has been going on since then?โ€
Your roommate turned to look at you, narrowing her eyes and you knew what she was thinking. But even if the part about him being upset over some โ€œchickโ€ was true, certainly that had nothing to do with you.
โ€œI heard the same thing,โ€ another girl chimed in, โ€œMy brother is in a class with him and he said Harryโ€™s been kind of down I guess.โ€
โ€œYour brother takes note of his mood?โ€ One of the girls laughed.
โ€œOh yeah. Only because I ask about him. When I found out he had a class with Harry I was like tell me everything!โ€ She laughed.
You had a feeling that most of what you were hearing was false. Harry was so confident and just having a good time you couldnโ€™t imagine heโ€™d freeze up around anyone like that.
As the night went on, the frat house became packed with people. Dancing bodies, music, drugs, alcohol, hookupsโ€ฆ You were there for the dancing and alcohol part. Your roommate had her eye on the debate team champ, Alex, and was hoping to get lucky finally (theyโ€™d been kind of playing a cat-and-mouse game that she was ready to finish once and for all).
You kept your drink in hand the whole time. Only refilling when necessary and trying not to get too wasted. That was never cute and it was also dangerous. But you loved dancing and letting loose with others who were just as bad at dancing as you were. It was fun to not worry about what you looked like because no one really cared.
Except that when you heard Guntherโ€™s voice from behind you and felt his sticky hand on your arm you wanted to vomit, โ€œLook so good, Y/nโ€ฆโ€
He was drunk. His voice was slurred and you were annoyed at his presence. You pulled away from him but being the nice girl you were you smiled and made small talk for a bit as you kept moving your hips to the music.
โ€œCome back to my room again tonight. Miss this mouth,โ€ he plucked at your lip and you swatted his hand away, the smile on your face dropping instantly. No more nice girl.
โ€œNo thanks.โ€ You turned to leave the area where everyone was dancing to get away but he followed behind.
โ€œOh, come on. You love sucking me off. Youโ€™re so good at it too.โ€
Finally. A compliment. But of course, it was too little too late and certainly not the time nor the place for such words. Besides, you were no longer attracted to him, and no matter what angle he tried it wasnโ€™t going to work.
โ€œGo away, Gunther!โ€ You suddenly snapped at him and he stopped mid-stride and looked at you like you had two heads with horns.
He lifted his hands in surrender, โ€œOkay. Fine. Jesus.โ€
You turned to make your way to the kitchen for a refill when you saw something that made your heart drop and your stomach bubble in gross shock. It was Harry Styles dancing slowly behind some cute girl, his arms wrapped around her front, leaning down to her shorter height and he was kissing the side of her neck.
Your Harry. The one who had you all gooey and giddy after that โ€œsessionโ€. The one who kissed your neck not that long ago. You wished he was dancing behind you like that. You wished you hadnโ€™t been so sensitive and that you could throw caution to the wind and not care that he was sleeping with others. You wished you could have just given in that night at the bar and gone back to hisโ€ฆ But you said no to him. And now here he was with someone else.
You gulped and turned to go to the bathroom instead, Gunther still eyeing you up from the spot where youโ€™d left him.
You stayed in the bathroom for a bit. Not wanting to go out and see Harry and the cute brunette dancing. You knew she was in for a treat later on. But that should have been you. Pouting at yourself in the mirror you felt ridiculous. You knew what it was with Harry. That he was a free and single man and could do as he pleased. You really had no right to feel upset over what youโ€™d seen. Heโ€™d done nothing wrong.
Dumping out the last bit of your drink in the sink you figured maybe it was just time to leave. You didnโ€™t want to have to deal with Gunther nor did you feel like seeing Harry all over someone else. Perhaps tonight was just not going to be your night.
As you opened the bathroom door a figure stood in the way and your immediate thought was that Gunther had followed you but as you trailed your eyes upward it was clear the man was taller and you didnโ€™t miss the nail polish on his fingers when he gripped the door. Everything stopped. The music, the air around your body, your heartโ€ฆ
โ€œY/nโ€ฆโ€ That deep voice spoke your name like it belonged on his tongue.
You looked up at him, removing your hand from the doorknob, and gave him a confused smile, โ€œHi Harry. What are you doing?โ€
He seemed off. Not drunk but maybe not quite sober either? You werenโ€™t sure what to make of his behavior as he pulled the door open and stepped into the bathroom, closing it behind himself.
โ€œI donโ€™t know what Iโ€™m doing,โ€ he stepped in toward you, your bottom hitting the edge of the porcelain sink, โ€œNothing makes sense lately. Just want to go back to how things were but I canโ€™t. Sโ€™like Iโ€™ve got some kind of block. Somethingโ€™s missingโ€ฆโ€
You shook your head, not really understanding what he was talking about as he continued.
โ€œI donโ€™t know whatโ€™s going on in my head. Are you really still with Gunther?โ€ He looked hurt. Wounded almost.
โ€œNo. After that night at the bar, I havenโ€™t talked to him. He just happened to be here.โ€ โ€œYou were dancing with him.โ€
โ€œWell, not really. I was dancing and then he came up behind me. I was just being nice talking to him but then he said something andโ€ฆโ€ you scoffed, โ€œWhy does it matter? You were dancing with someone else. And you were all over her. You should be out there with her enjoying yourself, Harry.โ€
โ€œCanโ€™t. Havenโ€™t been able to enjoy anyone. Donโ€™t want to anymore. Every time I do this now I justโ€ฆ canโ€™t.โ€
โ€œBut you were. You were kissing her neck, having fun. Looked quite cozied up to her, Harry. I imagine sheโ€™s waiting for you to return right now.โ€
โ€œI mean I canโ€™t lie to myself anymore. Iโ€™ve been kidding myself. I can never go through with it. I donโ€™t want her. That was just a show. When I saw you with himโ€ฆ itโ€™s dumb. I donโ€™t know what Iโ€™m doing, Y/n.โ€
You sighed and scanned his face. He did seem down, โ€œSo why are you here in the bathroom with me? Did you want to talk to me? Is there something I can do?โ€
Truly you were racking your brain trying to figure out why he was there and why he was telling you everything he was. Now you werenโ€™t a dumb girl, but you would never have assumed what he was about to tell you in his next breath.
โ€œYes. There is somethingโ€ฆโ€ he swallowed, his soft green irises fixed on your mouth, โ€œCan you kiss me? Just once more. I just need to see something with you. Is that okay?โ€
You felt dizzy. Felt confused. Felt your breaths shallow as he looked back into your eyes, โ€œWhat? I donโ€™t understand. Why?โ€
Harry softly brushed his knuckles against yours, โ€œBecause I canโ€™t stop thinking about you and every time I try to see someone I just see you. And itโ€™s driving me mad and I donโ€™t understand it really but I just need to know something and I think if I could kiss you maybe it would help clear up the fog in my brain.โ€
โ€œThe fogโ€ฆโ€ you whispered the words back to him and felt his fingertips against yours. And it was suddenly clear to you what he was saying. You were the one who had him all messed up. The โ€œchickโ€ he couldnโ€™t get over. You didnโ€™t know how it was possible or why but it was and he was begging you with his eyes and his fingertips. The heat of him standing only inches away from you was beckoning you to give in. ย 
When you wound your fingers through his and gently pulled him closer, your lashes fluttering up at him, you saw a light in his eyes, a sparkle of something like wonder and hope and relief. The strange nervous, tense energy you spotted when he first walked into the bathroom with you was suddenly gone.
He brought a hand up to your face, his long fingers curving around to the back of your neck, โ€œItโ€™s okay? I can kiss you, Y/n?โ€
โ€œYes. Itโ€™s okay, Harry.โ€
Closing his eyes, a shaky breath fell from his mouth as he relieved his lungs of the pressure in his chest and you braced yourself for his lips on yours but it wasnโ€™t at all what you expected. It wasnโ€™t rushed or filled with filth and lust. It wasnโ€™t slobbery with an excited tongue finding its way into your mouth or teeth colliding in haste.
No. It was filled with warmth and it was soft, slow. He pressed his lips to yours and ran his thumb gently over your cheekbone, inhaling deeply. He squeezed your hand and lulled his lips up and down to the edge of your mouth and delicately swiped his tongue over your bottom lip. The warmth created embers as you parted your lips and ran your tongue against his and your heart lobbed in your chest at the emotion and the meaning you felt pouring from him.
He refused to rush the kiss, slowly opening and closing his lips against and around yours, softly licking and breathing and touching your face and your hand. And when you let out a small whimper the embers caught on fire and his hips were against yours and the fingers at the back of your neck held your face against his as he worshipped your mouth and you felt his nose nudge into yours before he gasped and spoke, keeping his eyes closed, โ€œItโ€™s you. Itโ€™s what I want. All I want. I knew it.โ€
You blinked your eyes open and cupped his jaw, โ€œHarryโ€ฆ what do you mean?โ€
With his eyes still shut he sighed, โ€œI just mean itโ€™s you that I canโ€™t move on from. I canโ€™t describe it right now but youโ€™ve done something to me and I need more of it.โ€
In most circumstances, those words would be music to your ears. But you were terrified of getting hurt. Terrified that he was just confused and if you entertained whatever this was heโ€™d realize it wasnโ€™t all that deep and heโ€™d go back to his โ€œtutoringโ€. Because he had said that when he first got into the bathroom with you. That he just wanted things to go back to how they were. And if you were just a means to an end, well, you didnโ€™t want to be part of that, for your own sake.
โ€œSo youโ€™re hoping that now things can go back to how they were before me? Yeah?โ€
Harryโ€™s eyes opened and he looked down at you, shaking his head, โ€œNo. They canโ€™t. I canโ€™t. That kiss, Y/nโ€ฆ Was exactly what I thought. Can we get out of here? Go somewhere and talk?โ€
He was convincing. How could he not be? His irises were brighter and greener than they were before you kissed him and the thumb he smoothed over your jaw and to your earlobe had you melting, relenting. So you nodded to him and said your goodbyes to the two friends you arrived at the party with, following him outside, keeping your hand in his the whole time.
Your dorm room was closer so you decided to go there and it was like you were walking through a scene in some surreal movie that you couldnโ€™t wait to find out what the ending was going to be. But before you could even get to your dorm, Harry had you against the wall at the art building, and the rush and the lust that you hadnโ€™t quite gotten earlier in the bathroom was suddenly burning all around you.
Wet lips and hasty, shaky hands, hips pasted together away from the streetlamp that illuminated the sidewalk only feet from youโ€ฆ A heart-racing blur. Nipped lips and stifled moans, heaving chestsโ€ฆ
And then a hurry to get to your building and find your way up to your room before the dizzy haze of Harry enveloped you again and it was all-consuming. You couldnโ€™t peel yourself away from him and his lips found your neck and your skin and you pushed your hand under his shirt to touch his warm chest.
But he parted from you with a gasp, his chest rising and falling so rapidly his lungs were likely struggling to keep up.
โ€œIโ€™m sorry. Thatโ€ฆ Y/n I just really really like you.โ€
Pulling your hand from his chest you nodded at him and shifted on your bed so you could sit to your bottom next to him, โ€œI like you too, Harry.โ€ Obviously.
He ran a hand through his hair and nodded as he looked down at his lap and then dragged your hand over his thigh, sliding his fingers between yours, โ€œI mean I want to be with you. I canโ€™t even think about anyone else. I donโ€™t want anyone else.โ€
You watched as Harry drew his fingers over your knuckles and between your digits then pressed his palm against yours.
โ€œButโ€ฆ so you donโ€™t want to like have what you had before? Like all the girls and theโ€ฆ you know,โ€ you breathed out a laugh that was full of nerves, โ€œThe sessions? Werenโ€™t you just having fun?โ€
He shook his head and turned to look at you, โ€œIt was fun. But it wound up just being kind of empty after a bit. Didnโ€™t really get what I was looking for. I mean at first, I didnโ€™t even know what I was looking for. But you know how you said you gave Gunther one last shot because you were hoping for some kind of connection?โ€
You nodded as you worried your bottom lip between your teeth, wondering where he was going with all of it. Was he really about to say what you thought he was?
โ€œI realized thatโ€™s what I was looking for. And youโ€ฆ Y/n thereโ€™s just this thing with you. I never connected with someone like that before. I never felt soโ€ฆ I canโ€™t like describeโ€ฆโ€ he paused as he collected his thoughts, โ€œBreathless? Or likeโ€ฆ achy here,โ€ he lifted a hand to his chest over his heart, โ€œItโ€™s this stinging dread, just a hopeless feeling. I never cared if someone didnโ€™t want to see me again. But I cared a lot when you didnโ€™t want to. It hurt.โ€
Those were the kinds of feelings you felt when you liked someone who didnโ€™t like you back. It was that exact description that you were worried about with Harry. You were worried youโ€™d feel all that and then heโ€™d be with someone else the next week. It was for fear of that very thing. But he was feeling it. That devastation.
โ€œI understand exactly. Thatโ€™s why I didnโ€™t want to see you again. Because I was worried Iโ€™d start to feel that too. And it hurts so much that it was easier to part ways before it got to that point. So I get it.โ€
โ€œI donโ€™t want to do it anymore. With anyone else. Iโ€™m done. And Iโ€™m so close to what I wantโ€ฆ my degree. So I thought it was too much to focus on just one person but I think I was wrong. Itโ€™s a lot of work having people come and go. Maybe itโ€™s better to just have someone I can trust and someone whoโ€™s there for me. Just one person who I feel a real connection with.โ€
You swallowed the lump down your throat and your tummy was in knots. It truly did feel like you were in a surreal movie scene all dreamy and untidy with bursts of vivid colors and soft stringed music slowly intensifying as the minutes drew on.
โ€œWould you want that with me? To see what happens? Iโ€™m not saying it would be like a fairytale or anything but likeโ€ฆ just a normal relationship. Get to figure out what this is between us and learn about each other. Just the two of us.โ€
โ€œSo, me and you?โ€
โ€œYeah. Me and you. Not something casual. Iโ€™d only want to see you.โ€
You hadnโ€™t imagined your night going in this direction and it still felt like you were about to have a director enter your room and yell cut! It didnโ€™t quite feel real but it was. Harry was sitting next to you on your bed with his hypnotizing bright green eyes on you, caressing your fingers and your palm with his.
โ€œOkay. Yeah,โ€ you breathed out your words and Harryโ€™s pink lips turned upward in a boyish smile complete with adorable dimples and you couldnโ€™t help but return the expression but it only lasted for a second or two before his lips were pressed against yours again.
Everything about him was intoxicating. His body against yours, his hands on your face and squeezing your hip as he laid you both down in your small bed. You wrapped your arms around him as he ran his tongue over the seam of your lips and it turned into something dirty and desperate, your hands grabbing at him and his fingers trailing under your shirt.
He squeezed at your bum, your jeans blocking him from feeling you unencumbered and then he parted from the kiss, his hair all wild and strewn about from your fingers, โ€œCan we do this here? Is your roommate coming back?โ€
You looked at the clock on the table at the side of the room and it was well past 2 in the morning. You honestly werenโ€™t sure if she was coming back but you knew she had hopes of going back to Alexโ€™s place. But you also didnโ€™t care. At least not in that moment with Harry right there with you, his scent all over your body, his jeans unzipped, and his shoes somewhere in your room.
โ€œI donโ€™t know. She might be out all night. Justโ€ฆ If she comes back weโ€™ll cover up,โ€ you laughed. You had once again lost your mind. Harry seemed to have you in some lusty trance you couldnโ€™t break. Didnโ€™t want to break.
Harry ducked down to kiss your neck as he fit himself between your legs, the bed squeaking under the sudden shift of weight. You could feel his open pants against your hip. Youโ€™d gotten a bit carried away when you were making out and undid them for him, to which he laughed but didnโ€™t stop you. And now, that convenient thing was seductively calling to you as you reached your hand down to push at his pants.
โ€œIn a hurry are we?โ€ He looked down at your hand and then at your face.
โ€œNot really. I donโ€™t know. I just wantโ€ฆ you.โ€
Harryโ€™s lids were heavy as he blinked his eyes, โ€œWell you can have me. Whatever you want.โ€
He pressed the tip of his nose to yours before smearing his mouth against your lips and your fingers were back in his hair once again. Slow and luxurious. Hasty and filthyโ€ฆ Harry kissed you like he didnโ€™t know which way was best. But you were getting fired up from the way he was doing it. You didnโ€™t care, you just wanted it. Wanted his mouth and his tongue, his hands and his body, his moans and his hair between your fingers.
You were hot. Molten underneath him. Your panties were ruined and you were sure he knew what he was doing. Your mind wandered to where youโ€™d put your condoms and then you felt his hands on your hip as he slowly began to slide your shirt upward.
He sat back, plucking at the front of his pants, and then put his hands back on your waist, โ€œCan I get this off? All of it?โ€
You nodded and grinned with your lip bitten into your mouth as Harry got rid of your t-shirt and then unbuttoned your pants, โ€œYou too. Can we get your clothes off too?โ€ You spoke as you lifted your hips and let him peel your jeans down your legs.
Harry grinned at you, โ€œAbsolutely. You already did part of the work here anyway,โ€ he laughed as he gestured toward his unzipped pants.
Harry was left in his boxer briefs when the last thing you had to get rid of was your light blue panties. But Harry seemed quite transfixed by the wet spot on the fabric over your pussy. You were so wet the whole of the crotch was clinging to you, outlining what was underneath and Harry slid his thumb over the top of the material and parted his lip before looking up your face, โ€œFuck.โ€
You panted softly when he bumped into your clit and pressed over the slick spot, โ€œDoes that feel good, Y/n?โ€
You nodded, โ€œYeah. That feels goodโ€ฆโ€
โ€œSo warm and wet for me,โ€ he drew his hand up to the elastic waistband and pulled it downward, โ€œGonna take a closer look. Sโ€™that alright?โ€
You were full of nothing but yes as you knocked your head up and down affirmatively and bounced your gaze from his eyes to where he was disrobing the last bit of material covering you.
He pushed out a quick succession of what sounded like a breathy whistle as he took you in with his eyes, his fingertips holding the soft, mushy part of your inner thighs so you stayed spread, โ€œFuck. Fuck, honeyโ€ฆโ€ he licked his lips and looked up at you as he ran his thumb through your folds, โ€œCan I have some of this again? Tasteโ€ฆโ€
He sounded almost as delirious as you felt. Tasteโ€ฆ eatโ€ฆ suckโ€ฆ fuckโ€ฆ whatever he wanted. You nodded, โ€œYes, Harry.โ€
He leaned over your body, pressing his chest against yours, and kissed your mouth before dragging his lips down your neck and to your tits, stopping to suck and lick each one before he drew his hot mouth downward, sponging kisses over your tummy and to your hips.
Your legs were brought up to drape over his shoulders as he held onto your thighs and then watched you as he licked up from your gushy hole to your clit.
The sounds that fell from your mouth were pitiful. You had an ache that needed to be relieved and it seemed only Harry could do it. Every swipe of his tongue through your crease had you slipping toward the edge of the earth, โ€œHarryโ€ฆโ€
You did your best to keep your eyes on his, knowing thatโ€™s what he liked but you couldnโ€™t help throwing your head back every time he sucked your clit and rolled it under his tongue. He was better than your clit sucker. He was better than anything or anyone else.
โ€œMmmmโ€ฆโ€ your attempt at stifling your moans only goaded Harry even more. He drew his lips over your clit and slid them side to side and the pressure that was building in your tummy had you shaking.
โ€œWill youโ€ฆโ€ you gasped and pulled at his hair, โ€œCan we have sex?โ€
You had an immediate urge. A need to feel him closer. Wanted him inside of you right then.
Harry lifted his face from your pussy and licked his lips, โ€œYou sure? Youโ€™ve had sex before, yeah?โ€
You laughed and let go of his curls with a nod, โ€œJust with one person. Iโ€™m not very good.โ€
โ€œIโ€™m sure youโ€™re amazing, Y/n,โ€ he sat back, gently placing your legs down and you pushed yourself to sit up.
โ€œI donโ€™t know,โ€ you grinned at him and ran your foot over his thigh, โ€œMaybe you could give me a proper lesson. Think I need tutoring.โ€
Harry wrapped his palm around your ankle and shot a cheeky eyebrow up, โ€œOh you need tutoring, do you? Well, you didnโ€™t sign up for a lesson with me. Think youโ€™re just gonna get a freebie?โ€ He laughed.
You shrugged as he lifted himself and began to pull his boxer briefs down his hips. Your eyes focused on his big cock. You couldnโ€™t wait to see whatโ€™d feel like inside of you. You were positive heโ€™d be gentle and give it to you good.
โ€œSo what are you saying? You charge for your services now?โ€
Harry pursed his lips to the side and smoothed his hands up your calves, โ€œTeaching is hard work, Y/n.โ€
โ€œI bet. How about just one last lesson? For me?โ€ You bit your lip, rounding your eyes at him.
โ€œFine. Just for you.โ€
โ€œCondoms are in the top drawer,โ€ you pointed to your dresser, โ€œNever been opened.โ€
He began to move off your bed but then paused, โ€œNever opened?โ€
โ€œWell, the guy I slept with had his own and we only did it twice so Iโ€™ve never used the ones I bought.โ€
You watched him walk to your dresser to find the unopened box of Trojans. Harry was so fit and masculine and his ass was gorgeous. He was a work of art from behind but when he turned and walked toward you he was angelic. His toned abs and strong thighs, skin littered with tattoos and bits of hair on his pecs, his handsome face, and of course, the heavy, thick organ between his legs, swollen and hard. Just for you.
He kneed up to you on the bed and handed you the wrapper with the condom, โ€œEver put a condom on a penis before?โ€ He asked as he stroked himself
You shook your head and tore the wrapper open. When you had the rubber in your palm Harry flipped it over, โ€œThis side goes on my tip.โ€
You brought the condom to his tip and looked up at him as you began to roll the rubber downward but he stopped you, โ€œThatโ€™s good. But first, pinch the top here, like this,โ€ he brought your fingers to the top of the rubber and pulled at it away from his crown, โ€œJust gives a little space for movement and for my come.โ€
You gulped at the image in your brain of the condom being filled with his come after orgasm. His shaft was wide and long as the rubber was rolled down as far as it could reach.
You looked up at his face and he was watching you closely with a soft smile, โ€œVery good.โ€
Harry scooted himself between your legs, his knees butting against the back of your thighs as he smeared his fingers through your folds, โ€œWeโ€™ll go slow. I want to make sure everything feels good. When you had sex before, did you come?
You shook your head no.
โ€œAnd how did you do it? Was he on top?โ€
You nodded, โ€œYeah, he was on top of me. It was kind of quick. Both times. I lied and told him I came.โ€
โ€œOkay. Did he keep your clit stimulated?โ€ He asked as he thumbed at your clit, mushing into it to drive the point home.
You gasped softly, โ€œNo. Never touched it.โ€
โ€œNot even once? What about foreplay?โ€ He circled your bud and the slickness from your pussy began to coat his fingers.
โ€œWe just made out and he fingered me and I did get wet. But he never touchedโ€ฆ ohhhโ€ฆ.โ€ Harry slid two long fingers into your entrance and you looked down to view the spectacle.
His hand was wet with your arousal as he pumped his fingers in and out slowly, โ€œSo youโ€™ve just had a string of bad lovers. Iโ€™m gonna do my best to make up for it.โ€
You sighed as he dragged the pads of his fingers along your front wall before pushing them back into his knuckles, โ€œYouโ€™re so wet and ready. You deserve to feel good, Y/n. Deserve to have someone care for you.โ€
You ticked your hips upward slightly and Harry pumped into you a bit harder, the gushy noises of your pussy getting fingered sounded dirty but so good.
When he pulled his fingers from you he held the base of his shaft in his palm and smoothed his free hand up your tummy, โ€œWeโ€™ll start off with you on your back. Iโ€™m going to go in gently. Okay?โ€
You nodded and shot your eyes down to his cock and then back up to his face.
โ€œThere you go, just keep your eyes on me. Tell me if anything is uncomfortable.โ€
Harry pulled at your hand and brought your fingertips over your mound, โ€œRub your clit the way that feels best for you. Okay?โ€
โ€œMmhmmโ€ฆโ€ you nodded and slid your fingers over your nub as you kept your eyes on his.
The initial stretch of your slick muscle around his thick head had you gasping. He inhaled through his teeth and pressed in slowly, โ€œYour body is so turned on. That feels all right, yeah?โ€
โ€œYesโ€ฆ feels good.โ€
โ€œYeah? Feels good for me too.โ€ He was breathy as he sunk into you and then pulled back a few inches, looking down at where your bodies were connected, half his cock buried inside of you.
And it surprised you how thick he was and how much of him you felt. Youโ€™d always heard you donโ€™t feel much when thereโ€™s a penis inside of you but Harryโ€™s penis was definitely working into you and spreading your insides apart.
With your fingers delicately running over your bud you moaned, โ€œOh godโ€ฆ Harryโ€ฆโ€
He gripped your thighs and pulled you closer before shifting himself over you, โ€œWeโ€™re gonna make sure it feels so good okay? Youโ€™re kind of shallow and I can feel the resistance at this spot here,โ€ he rutted in and you gasped, โ€œLike thatโ€ฆ depends on where you are in your cycle could be shallower or more space, but Iโ€™m only gonna push in as far as is comfortable for you.โ€
He had his hand on your cheek as he spoke, โ€œStill feels okay right now?โ€
You nodded, โ€œYes. You can go deeper. Wanna feel it.โ€
Harry groaned softly and pressed his lips to yours. You had to pull your hand away from your clit because his pelvis was taking the place of where your fingers were. When he plunged himself in further you felt a delicious pinch and you panted into his mouth.
โ€œDonโ€™t want to hit your cervix. Usually, itโ€™s not comfortable. Iโ€™m getting in there pretty deep, though. You okay?โ€
โ€œPleaseโ€ฆ itโ€™s okay.โ€ You did want to feel it. Wanted to have him stuff you full and make you ache and burn and wince in pain. The dildo you used always hit your cervix and you didnโ€™t mind the way it felt. Some days you liked it more than others, depending on how horny you were. And in that moment, youโ€™d never been hornier. You wanted to feel him ruin you.
Harry let out a breathy laugh and pushed himself up so he could look into your eyes, โ€œYou want to feel it, honey?โ€
Nodding your head you felt him spread you apart and fuck into you with one deep rut. Your body bounced upward and you gasped.
He stilled his hips and stayed buried inside of you, his hand on your cheek, โ€œThatโ€™s it right there, Y/n. Canโ€™t get it in any further. You like that?โ€
It was obvious you did. The look on your face told him as much. Your eyes were fluttering and your mouth dropped open as you lifted into him, mushing your clit against his solid pelvis, โ€œMmm yeahโ€ฆโ€
Harry swallowed as he watched your features soften then and scrunch with every thrust. He smoothed his thumb over your bottom lip and you licked at the pad of his digit before you wrapped your lips around it and he was in awe of how filthy you really were when he felt your nails dig into his back.
โ€œSโ€™hurt, honey? At all?โ€
You moaned around his thumb, your eyes blinking up at him, and nodded before hitching your leg up over his hip to indicate you still wanted more, pushing him in closer with the heel of your foot.
So you wanted it to hurt. At least a little anyway. Harry wasnโ€™t going in hard and he wouldnโ€™t. Not yet. Not until he learned exactly what you liked and what your body needed first. But every time he bottomed out you grunted and sucked on his thumb harder and he was losing it.
โ€œFuckโ€ฆ youโ€™re so hot, Y/n. Look at you with your lips wrapped around my thumb. You just needed something to suck on, didnโ€™t you? And you feel so good around me. So wet and warm, honeyโ€ฆโ€
Youโ€™d never had a manโ€™s fingers in your mouth. You had no idea what you were doing but when Harry slid his thumb over your bottom lip it just came naturally to you. To pull it into your mouth and it wasโ€ฆ god it was taking you over the edge. And he seemed to like it as you swiped your tongue around his skin.
But better yet? His cock. You were so full and it was so incredible to have him like that. The other guy you slept with was fine. But now youโ€™d never want โ€œfineโ€ again. Not after this. Not with the way Harry was pulling himself back and then rocking into you, every plunge better than the last. He didnโ€™t pound into you or try to race to the end. He wanted to make it good for you.
He began to pant deeply, his gasps lined with moans as his thrusts became clumsy and he stilled his hips before pulling his thumb from your mouth, โ€œLetโ€™s get you on top. Okay? Wanna watch you ride me and let you take control. Bet youโ€™re gonna be good at it, arenโ€™t you?โ€ His irises scanned your face as he spoke, his thumb at your cheekbone dragging upward.
โ€œI donโ€™t know? I hope soโ€ฆโ€ you breathed as he nudged himself upward, deeper, โ€œI do wanna be good for you.โ€
Harry moaned, โ€œYeah? You are good for me, honey. My favorite. You donโ€™t even realize how good you are but Iโ€™m gonna keep telling you til you believe it. Okay?โ€
Your eyes were heavy and your body was hot. You nodded and let out a breathy, โ€œOkayโ€ฆโ€
โ€œThatโ€™s right. Now weโ€™ll have you get on top. Wanna watch my pretty girl get herself off on my cock.โ€
You felt him slide out of you and you looked down at his long condom-covered dick, coated in your juice. Everything smelled of sex as he dipped down and kissed your mouth before climbing next to you and lying down. He pulled at your hips, bringing you over his lap as you placed your palms on his chest and settled your pussy down at the base of his shaft. You wrapped your palm around him and slid it up and down to feel the rigidness of him. He was so hard and thick it made your mouth water.
With his fingers still at your hips he squeezed gently, โ€œDepending on your angle itโ€™s gonna feel very deep. Sometimes it can ache a little bit because Iโ€™ll be tucked up into your cervix,โ€ he moved one hand toward the front of your low tummy, โ€œBut you can control how deep I get. Can even tilt your pelvis downward which will give your clit more stimulation. Might make it easier for you to come.โ€
You looked between your legs as you lifted your hips and rocked forward so you could press your entrance over his cock but then you felt his hand on your chin, directing your sight back to him, โ€œKeep your eyes on me. Want to see your face while youโ€™re pushing me inside of your pretty cunt, okay?โ€
You nodded and began to push yourself down. He fit inside of you so nicely. All snug and warm, packed inside of your guts. Every inch you took you could feel stretching your wall apart.
Keeping your eyes on his you raised your hips upward and then sunk down further to adjust, letting out a puff of breath as your lips parted until your bum was seated on his lap, his cock stuffing you to the brim.
Harry moaned, โ€œYes. Good fucking girl,โ€ he made sure to praise you as much as he could because he noted how your eyes lit up every time he did it. Pulling at your hips, he brought your pelvis downward, โ€œThis is kind of like the starting position. You only need to grind and rub upward, donโ€™t even have to lift off of me. Just slide in toward my belly button,โ€ he pulled at you, causing you to drag upward on his cock but keeping your clit down against his pelvis, โ€œSee? Feels good cause you can keep your clit stimulated this way too. Letโ€™s do this for a bit. Just get used to the motion here and do what feels good.โ€
It was easier than you thought. Your knees and shins were pressed into the mattress along the sides of Harryโ€™s hips as you slid yourself upward. Youโ€™d always imagined it being some crazy acrobatic feat where you sat like a frog and bounced up and down like a pornstar. But this? This you could do. And it felt so intimate. Your palms were pressed into his chest, his hands moved down to your ass as he assisted you along his shaft and then back along to his base.
โ€œTell me how it feels, honey. The look on your face says you like it but want to make sureโ€ฆโ€
You rocked your hips, gripping around him and pulling upward with your eyes on his, โ€œItโ€™sโ€ฆ godโ€ฆ it feels so good, Harryโ€ฆโ€
โ€œFeels good for me too. Love this angle,โ€ he moved a hand up to your breasts and palmed at your nipples as you continued fucking yourself on him.
When youโ€™d gotten into the movements and found a rhythm you could hear the wetness coming from your pussy every time you slid up and down his cock.
Harry continued smoothing his hand over your tits, โ€œIf you really want to feel me deep, lean back a bit.โ€
Pushing yourself to sit upright you adjusted your hips and the new angle had him deeper than he was before. You hissed as you swiveled your hips and Harry grunted, running his hand back down to your low tummy, โ€œHowโ€™s that feel?โ€
โ€œItโ€™s kind of achy, but feels really good,โ€ you spoke softly, looking into his eyes as you shifted your pelvis.
โ€œGod youโ€™re taking me so well, honeyโ€ฆ Look so gorgeous on top of me, pretty tits in my face, fucking yourself on my cock... making yourself feel good.โ€
Everything felt good. You were sure it was because of Harry. All the nice things he was saying had your head spinning and your heart thrashing.
He knew of course that you didnโ€™t need instructions. You might not have had as much experience as he did but sex was something that came naturally for most. And you were so into it and your innate eroticism was shining through your more reserved demeanor.
Harry began to thrust upward, rocking into you, sticking himself in deep. He had one hand caressing your tits and the other pressed into your tummy. You werenโ€™t sure why he was touching your tummy but when he thrust upward into you sharply you cried out and he pressed harder, โ€œFuck! Youโ€™ve got me so deep inside of you, honey. You wanna feel this?โ€
You reached your hand down to where his was, your hips writhing over him as he punched himself upward and you gasped when you felt the bulge in your tummy under your palm. He did it again and moaned with you, โ€œOh my god!โ€
You could feel his cock pressing through you when you put enough pressure on your tummy with your hand.
โ€œCome here,โ€ Harry wrapped his fingers around the back of your neck and pulled you down, making you tilt toward him and smeared his lips against yours. The angle where you could rub your clit on his pelvis was the best. It felt so good and you began to rock yourself over him with whimpers into his mouth.
Harry smiled into the kiss, โ€œBet youโ€™ve humped your pillow before. So you know how to do this. Sliding over my cock so perfectly, Y/n.โ€
You pushed your palms into his chest and rolled down over him, hips pasted to his. Your orgasm was already beginning to build and singe in your body as you nodded.
His hands were on your hips as he let you take control and ride him how you wanted, โ€œI knew it. Already have experience with this position, yeah? You wanna come, honey? You gonna fuck yourself on my cock til youโ€™re seeing stars?โ€
You moaned and nodded with your lips parted.
โ€œThatโ€™s right. You already know what to do. Now hump it like a good girl. Show me how you do it, honeyโ€ฆโ€
Harryโ€™s words were so sweet and yet filled with filth. You loved the way he spoke to you with such care but he could turn it so dirty in a heartbeat. Likening you riding his cock to humping your pillow somehow just pushed you over the edge. And you definitely saw stars as your face twisted up and you choked out his name, โ€œHaaarrry! Harry! Yes!! Ohhhhโ€ฆโ€
Your pulsing insides encased Harryโ€™s cock and he let you take what you needed as he moaned and watched your tits bounce and sway with every rock of your hips until his balls were squeezing tight and his throbbing cock couldnโ€™t resist the way you gripped around him.
You didnโ€™t hear Harryโ€™s grunts or his breathy moans as he pumped into you. You didnโ€™t see his face contort in pleasure as he kept his eyes focused on you, the pretty girl coming on his cock. You didnโ€™t take note of how when heโ€™d fully emptied himself into his condom he was still watching you in awe as you were breathlessly panting over him, still coming around him, milking every last bit of him out into the rubber that separated your wet cunt from his thick shaft.
You didnโ€™t notice any of that until you finally caught your breath and felt your body tremble as you looked down at him and felt his fingertips digging into the meat of your hips and saw his heavy eyes watching you. You were going to apologize about how you forgot to look at him when you were coming but he pulled you down over his chest and held you against himself. You could feel his heart beating in his chest and his lungs filling with air on every inhale.
He smoothed his hand down your back and to your bottom, โ€œYou okay?โ€
You puffed out a laugh against his chest. It was funny because obviously you were more than okay. Youโ€™d just come so hard your ears were ringing and your vision had nearly gone black just before. Your entire body was limp and wobbly over him as he caressed your bottom and your back.
โ€œFuck, honey. You came so hard. Did so good.โ€
You sighed and smiled to yourself as you pushed your hands into his hair, โ€œI did?โ€
โ€œMmmโ€ฆ so good, Y/n. Deserve an award for that one.โ€ He chuckled and you could feel the vibrations in his chest against yours.
Smoothing a hand down to his pec you lifted your head to look at him and laughed, โ€œWhat kind of an award?โ€ ย 
Harry slid his hand up to your face, โ€œOne of those gold star stickers teachers use. I think Iโ€™ve got a pack of them actually. Could put it on your t-shirt so everyone knows how good you are.โ€
The filthy grin on his face had you giggling, โ€œYou do not have a pack of gold stars. Do you?โ€
His smirk widened, โ€œI do actually. And I know a girl who loves being praised who I can use them all on. Maybe weโ€™ll even get you an ice cream.โ€
You shook your head with a smile on your face, โ€œWhat if I want kitten stickers instead?โ€ You teased.
Harry inhaled and turned his gaze to look at the ceiling before looking back at you, โ€œActuallyโ€ฆ I think I have kitten stickers.โ€
You laughed, making Harry laugh with you.
โ€œOkay then. Tomorrow you owe me some kitten stickers and ice cream.โ€ You would be asking him later why he had stickers in the first place.
Harry softly pinched at your bum, a lazy grin on his face, โ€œYour roommateโ€™s not gonna freak out if she comes back and Iโ€™m here?โ€
โ€œNah. I donโ€™t see why she would. Long as youโ€™re not naked.โ€
Harry chuckled, โ€œAnd you donโ€™t mind if I stay here either?โ€
โ€œIโ€™d like it if you stayed.โ€
โ€œThen Iโ€™ll stay.โ€
โ€œGood,โ€ you bit your lip and trailed your fingers over the sparrow tattoos at his clavicle as you gazed into his eyes full of affection.
โ€œThen tomorrow you get kitten stickers and ice cream for being such a good girl.โ€
โ€œAnd maybe a little bit more of you too? Since I was so good?โ€
โ€œJust a little bit more is all you want?โ€
You laughed through your nose, โ€œOkay a lot more of you then.โ€
โ€œOkay, itโ€™s settled. Kitten stickers, ice cream, and a whole lot of me.โ€

sweetener
Tumblr media
bucky barnes x reader
summary: when the vacation that you've been planning for months gets canceled due to a last minute mission, you can't help but feel bummed - the bright side is that you're being sent on a mission with bucky.
word count: 5.3k - my masterlist
warnings/tags: canon level violence, descriptions of injuries, mention of blood, almost drowning, hospital setting, bad guys getting killed (not descriptive), non-sexual nudity, hurt/comfort trope, avenger!reader, friends to lovers, fluff, language, reader pov, no use of y/n, fem reader, bucky being super soft, not explicit but mdni please
when life deals us cards
make everything taste like it is salt
then you come through like the sweetener you are
to bring the bitter taste to a halt
Tumblr media
Hand warmers. Flashlight and extra batteries. Can opener. Matches. First aid kit โ€“
You glance down the handwritten list for the dozenth time that morning, checking and rechecking that you aren't forgetting anything obvious.
Your eyes flicker between the ridiculous amount of supplies scattered across your bed and the three large duffle bags on your floor that you're determined to pack it all into. You know that you are most likely being excessive, but you'd much rather be too thorough than not thorough enough when you're about to be miles deep in the Appalachian wilderness.
Sure, you'd be staying at a relatively civilized campground with restrooms and showers, but this is the first time that you've been camping in years, and your first time ever going camping alone.
A two day road trip there, then six days in the Great Smoky Mountains, and then another two day road trip back to upstate New York.
A much needed ten days of time spent by yourself, seeing as how you haven't gone on anything resembling a vacation in over two years. The last couple years have been nonstop work with very little time for relaxation.
To say that you're excited would be an understatement. Although you find immense fulfillment in the work that you do with the Avengers and can't see yourself doing anything else, you're ready to sit by a warm fire and sleep under the stars without a care in the world.
Just as you've finished packing the second bag and are about to begin on the third, the Bluetooth speaker that your cell phone is paired to begins blasting your ringtone, cutting off the music that you'd been listening to while you pack.
When you grab the phone off of your nightstand and see the name Nick Fury displayed across the screen, a ball of unease immediately forms in the pit of your stomach.
Nick Fury isn't the type to call and chit chat about how your day is going or what shows you've been binge watching. He's the type to call when he wants something done, and wants it done now.
โ€œHey, Fury,โ€ you greet in a neutral tone as you perch on the edge of your bed. With the phone still connected to your speaker, you place it back down on the nightstand so that you are free to wring your hands together.
โ€œAgent,โ€ Fury's voice booms throughout your room. โ€œI hope I've caught you before you've left the state of New York.โ€
Godfuckingdammit.
โ€œUh - yep. I'm still here. Packing up for my trip right now,โ€ you answer, trying your hardest to conceal the irritation in your voice. There's a small voice in the back of your head telling you that you should just lie and say you are already on the road, but you're not stupid enough to lie to Nick Fury.
There's a second, louder voice in the back of your mind screaming at you that you shouldnโ€™t have even answered the phone.
โ€œYou know I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm going to suggest you pack a tactical suit and weapon of choice instead of hiking boots and a sleeping bag. We just got word that a vibranium weapons dealer we've been tracking will be receiving a large shipment at a port in Destin tomorrow night. Need you and Barnes on a flight to Florida this afternoon.โ€
โ€œFlorida?โ€ you repeat, unable to hide the shock and disappointment in your tone. โ€œI can't go to Florida right now. I've been planning this trip for months. I put in the notice for my leaveโ€“โ€
โ€œI realize that this is unfortunate timing but I'm afraid that this is non-negotiable, Agent,โ€ he interrupts you in a tone of finality. โ€œIf we don't intercept this shipment then these weapons fall into very dangerous hands. With Romanoff and Rogers still in San Antonio until next week, I have no choice but to ask you and Barnes to handle it.โ€
You exhale an audible, frustrated breath and massage the heels of your palms into your eye sockets. You don't know why you're surprised. It's not like illegal arms dealers take your vacation time into consideration when they plot their dealings.
โ€œIs that understood, Agent?โ€ he asks when you don't respond.
โ€œYes,โ€ you say as you dig your nails into the flesh of your palm to hold back any further argument. โ€œYes, I understand.โ€
โ€œGreat. The jet leaves in three hours.โ€
The line cuts off before you can get another word out.
You groan out loud. Three hours. That doesn't even leave you enough time to feel sorry for yourself.
You look around at the chaotic state of your room before your gaze lands on the already packed duffle bags filled with camping supplies.
You're too annoyed and short on time to care right now, so you empty the contents of both bags back onto your bed and tell yourself that you'll deal with the mess when you get back home. For now, you need to focus on packing the appropriate items for taking down a vibranium arms dealer in hotass Florida.
Beneath all of the disappointment and frustration, there's a glimmer of relief that at the very least it's Bucky who you're being sent on this unexpected mission with. You may not be fond of hot weather, but you are quite fond of him.
โ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ข
Just as Fury said, the jet departs from the compound at exactly three o'clock. You sit in the aircraft's cabin, reading through a thick file containing all of the information that SHIELD has compiled on Dmitri Petrov's crime empire, ranging from drug smuggling to illegal arms deals.
You are only a few pages into the report and it's abundantly clear why this mission was non-negotiable. Petrov has been getting away unscatched for years - tomorrow night will be the first clear opportunity for a take down since getting on SHIELD's radar.
โ€œCoffee?โ€ A voice snaps you back to reality, making you realize that you're reading the same sentence for the dozenth time. โ€œThree creams, two sugars.โ€
You look up to find a vibranium hand holding out a disposable cup to you. If the fact that he's committed the way you take your coffee to memory isn't enough to increase your heart rate, his smirk and the crinkles around his blue eyes do the trick.
โ€œThank you,โ€ you tell him, snapping the folder shut on the table in front of you. โ€œMy eyes are on the verge of bleeding.โ€ You take a sip of the coffee - indeed, three creams and two sugars.
He takes the seat directly across from you, spinning the folder around for him to flip through himself.
โ€œWe land in less than half an hour and you've been reading this the entire flight,โ€ he says teasingly as he thumbs through the pages. โ€œI think it's safe to say you're prepared.โ€
He places the file back down, returning his attention to you.
โ€œJust trying to get myself in the right headspace. I didn't know anything about this operation until a few hours ago, you know.โ€
Not one to complain, you had yet to bring up the fact that your trip had been postponed in order for you to be here. You had talked about the trip on several occasions with Bucky, but you didn't expect him to remember the exact dates that you were supposed to be gone.
Sure - if he was going to be away for over a week, you'd be hyper aware of it until he returned - but you weren't naive enough to think that he would know the exact dates of your comings and goings.
โ€œI know,โ€ he sighs, a sympathetic look on his face. โ€œI was on my way to tell you to have a good trip and to be safe when I got the call from Fury this morning.โ€
Oh. Your cheeks heat at the casual admission from him.
โ€œI'm sorry about your trip. I know you were really looking forward to it,โ€ he adds sincerely. โ€œI'm going to find extra enjoyment in putting Dmitri Petrov behind bars for causing it to get canceled.โ€
โ€œYou and me both,โ€ you chuckle. โ€œReally though, it's okay. I was bummed, but it's not the end of the world. It can easily be rescheduled once this guy is locked up and we're back home.โ€
You don't add the fact that you find yourself caring less and less about the canceled trip the longer that you sit here with him.
โ€œThere is at least one silver lining to this, you know,โ€ he chimes, leaning forward with his elbows on the table between you. You instinctively lean in closer too, causing the side of your leg to brush against his beneath the table. You wait to see if he'll pull away, and when he doesn't, you leave the side of your thigh resting against his.
โ€œOh, yeah? And what's that?โ€
โ€œPetrovโ€™s shipment isn't set to arrive until tomorrow night, and they've sent us down here the day prior. It's not like we have to stay holed up in our hotel room for the next twenty-four hours, right?โ€
โ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ข
Bucky's right - there's no sense in locking yourselves inside the hotel room until the time of the weapons deal tomorrow evening, but when you see the hotel room that you'll be spending the next couple nights in, you think you would also be okay with staying inside if you had to.
It's not a five star resort by any means, but in comparison to the dingy roadside motels that you're normally stuck in for missions? This place might as well be a Four Seasons.
It's relatively small, but there's more than enough space for the two of you. There's one full size bed, plus a couch that converts to a futon mattress - the latter of which Bucky insists on taking, giving you the bed. The bathroom is nearly as big as the main room, with a jacuzzi tub that's bigger than three standard bathtubs put together.
And the best part of it? When you open the curtains to the sliding glass door on the backside of the room, there's a clear view of turquoise water and white sand.
โ€œI guess Fury felt a little bad about springing this on me at the last minute, after all,โ€ you sigh as you pull the door open, letting the light breeze pull the smell of saltwater into the room. โ€œCan't say that Iโ€™ve been given a beachfront room for a mission before.โ€
Bucky walks up to stand beside you, leaning against the doorframe and staring out to the ocean.
โ€œIt's definitely a step up from the rat and roach infested Motel 6 that Sam and I had to spend three nights in when we were sent to Atlanta for recon last month.โ€
You shake your head, both cringing and laughing at the memory of him ranting about the motel room as soon as he saw you after returning home.
โ€œIt was the size of a fucking capybara. Why are you laughing? I opened the bathroom door and it charged at meโ€“โ€
A sudden deep rumbling noise snaps you out of the memory and you glance down at your stomach in surprise. You suppose it makes sense that your body is screaming at you to eat - you had such little time to pack for Destin before your flight left that you hadn't even bothered with lunch today.
โ€œHow does pizza sound?โ€ Bucky asks with a knowing smirk. โ€œI saw a pizza place just down the street on the way here.โ€
โ€œAnything sounds good right now,โ€ you sigh, both starving and exhausted from your day of packing, unpacking, re-packing and traveling.
โ€œI'll go grab one for us,โ€ he tells you, pulling the keys to the rental car out of his pocket. โ€œJust stay here and get settled in.โ€
You don't object, itching to change into comfier, more weather appropriate clothes. When you left the state of New York just a few hours ago, it was chilly outside. Now that you are in eighty plus degree Destin, the sweater and boots that you're wearing have got to go.
You unpack your bag, thankful that you had brought a pair of casual drawstring shorts. You throw them on, along with a tank top. You decide to go ahead and convert the futon from a sofa into a bed, and then search through the hotel room's small linen closet for a set of sheets and a quilt. If Bucky insists on you taking the comfier sleeping option and going to get food for the two of you, you figure the least you can do is make his bed for him.
When he returns, he not only has a large cardboard box containing the pizza, but a plastic bag hanging from his vibranium arm as well.
โ€œGrab a towel and follow me,โ€ he tells you before he's even closed the door behind him.
โ€œFollow you?โ€ You laugh, taken aback by the instructions. โ€œWhere are we going?โ€
You hop up from where you'd been mindlessly scrolling on your phone on the bed, doing as he asked and grabbing one of the complementary beach towels from the bathroom closet.
โ€œNot staying holed up in our hotel room. Remember?โ€
And with that he pulls the sliding glass door open with his empty hand and exits the room, heading towards the beach that sits directly in the backyard. You don't even take the time to throw on a pair of tennis shoes before practically running after him through the sand.
He comes to a stop when he's a few yards away from where the waves wash up against shore and turns back to look at you. You take it as your cue to spread the towel across the sand at your feet.
He sits down and you follow, the cardboard box nestled between you. He opens it, revealing a pizza that is split down the middle - half your favorite, half his favorite.
โ€œI know it's not a campfire in the Great Smoky Mountains,โ€ he smirks. He digs into the plastic bag and pulls out a drink for each of you, along with some napkins. โ€œBut it's the best I could do in our current situation.โ€
The sentiment leaves you momentarily speechless. You know it isn't a grand declaration of love, and it might not mean as much to some people as it does to you - but you can't remember the last time someone went out of their way just to improve your day in such a simple yet thoughtful way.
Between the pizza, the vibrant pink and purple sky as the sun sinks beyond the ocean's horizon, the sound of the waves and him beside you, you wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now.
โ€œNo,โ€ you murmur. โ€œIt's not. But it's perfect.โ€
โ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ข
The next day, you manage to forget that you're actually on a super important mission taking down a dangerous illegal arms dealer.
The first half of the day feels like an actual vacation - the closest thing you've had to a vacation in a long time, anyway. You sleep in until nearly ten o'clock in the morning - which may not be considered sleeping in for some people, but in this line of work, you've overslept if you're still in bed at eight am.
After waking up thoroughly rested and refreshed, the two of you get brunch and then spend the early hours of the afternoon leisurely strolling at the boardwalk just a short drive from your hotel.
You and Bucky are sitting on a bench eating ice cream when you check your phone for the first time in hours and realize how quickly the day has gone. It's already four o'clock - you're due to be on lookout at the pier where Petrov's exchange will occur soon.
โ€œWhat's wrong?โ€ Bucky asks when you huff under your breath as you stick your phone back into your pocket. โ€œNervous about tonight?โ€
You're not nervous, truthfully. You're fully confident that you and Bucky will be able to handle the job. You've been on countless missions less straight forward than this before, and so has he.
โ€œNo,โ€ you shake your head as you take another bite of your ice cream cone. โ€œIt'sโ€ฆ silly,โ€ you say, waving your hand in dismissal.
โ€œI'm sure it's not silly,โ€ he assures you gently.
You pause, staring at a couple holding hands in the distance as you contemplate your words.
Bucky seems to follow your gaze.
โ€œToday has just been really nice,โ€ you shrug with a small smile. โ€œI almost don't want to go back home.โ€
From your peripheral vision, you see his face shift to look at you. You continue to eat your ice cream, pretending that his stare doesn't warm you more than the Florida sun.
โ€œWe're on the same page then, doll.โ€
โ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ข
A few hours later, a feeder ship pulls up to the pier just after dusk.
โ€œWe've got eyes on three men,โ€ you say lowly into your communication device. โ€œThey're guarding the pier. No sign of Petrov yet.โ€
โ€œHe'll show,โ€ Fury's voice echoes in your ear. โ€œKeep watch until then. Backup is on standby to take him in.โ€ The comm clicks off before you can respond.
โ€œI know there's a lot riding on this going smoothly,โ€ you grumble as you bring your binoculars back up to your eyes. โ€œBut sometimes I think he just really needs to get laid.โ€
You and Bucky are across the road from the pier, concealed by large shrubs and the darkness of the night sky. You've been sitting here as still and silently as possible for well over an hour, before Petrov's men had even arrived to stand guard at the dock.
You really fucking have to pee.
Headlights begin to approach from down the street, and as the vehicle gets closer you're able to see that it's a large, black van.
Totally not suspicious at all.
It comes to a stop close to the boat dock, and a second later Petrov hops out of the driver's seat. You recognize him right away by his shrimpy build and receding hairline.
โ€œI should just take them all out from here and be done with this,โ€ Bucky grumbles from beside you.
โ€œI agree,โ€ you sigh. โ€œBut Fury's adamant that Petrov be brought in alive if possible. Heโ€™s got an empire behind him that we need to find out as much as possible about. His men, however..โ€ you trail off.
Bucky looks through the scope of his gun, zeroing in on one of the guards.
โ€œBlow a tire on the van first,โ€ you murmur. โ€œSo Petrov can't flee.โ€
โ€œI'll take out these three guards, and then I'll get Petrov and call for back-up. You worry about getting to that ship and taking out anyone inside. Sound like a plan?โ€
โ€œEasy peasy,โ€ you agree.
Less than thirty seconds later, all three guards have dropped dead and Petrov is frantically running to his van, unaware that Bucky had shot the back tire after killing his guards. You and Bucky emerge from the shrubs, sprinting across the road. He dashes towards Petrov, who freezes and begins shouting curses in Russian when he sees what is running towards him.
Bucky lands a punch to Petrov's jaw as you're running past them, only slowing down enough to not trip over the guardโ€™s dead bodies that are littered across the dock.
You're only a few yards away from the ship when you hear Bucky screech your name. You immediately come to a halt, turning back to see why he could be calling for you.
You see a tall, burly man - someone that you and Bucky hadn't noticed before - sprinting down the dock after you. He raises his arm above his head, his hand holding a rocklike object that he sends barreling in your direction.
It's the last thing you see before everything fades to black.
โ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ข
The shrill, repetitive beeping of a monitor pulls you out of limbo and back to earth.
You're met with painfully bright, fluorescent lighting that has you squinting your eyes shut before you can make sense of your surroundings.
โ€œBucky,โ€ you attempt to call out but it sounds like the croak of a lifelong smoker. Your eyes begin to adjust to the harsh lighting, allowing you to see that you're alone in a hospital room. You raise your fingertips to where it feels as if your brain is pulsing through your skull. There's a thick, defined knot on the top of your head that's sensitive to the touch.
Panic starts to take over you. Bits and pieces of the mission start to flash through your mind. Bucky shooting the guards, you running towards the feeder ship when you heard Bucky yell your name and then turning to see โ€“
โ€œBucky!โ€ You call out louder, your voice still hoarse. You sit up, not hesitating to carelessly yank an IV out of your arm. You're vaguely aware of the fact that you're in only a hospital gown and that blood is now trickling down your left arm, but you don't care.
You throw your legs over the side of the bed, standing up far too quickly. Your vision fades to a fuzzy gray and you're overcome with an intense wave of vertigo as the room spins around you. You grab onto the metal side railing of the hospital bed to keep yourself upright, desperately trying to focus your eyes enough to find the nurse's call button.
โ€œHi! I'll be to your room in just a momentโ€“โ€ An overly cheerful, feminine voice pours from the speaker a moment after pressing the button.
โ€œWhat happened? How long have I been here? Where is myโ€“โ€
The door to your room opens, and you immediately breathe an audible sigh of relief as your last question is answered. He looks as though he could use a good night's sleep, but he is okay.
โ€œWhat the fuck happened?โ€ Bucky exclaims as he rushes over to where you're still clutching the hospital bed railing for support. You follow his gaze to your arm, seeing that there's now blood all over your gown as well as the white floor around your feet.
โ€œI could ask you the same thing,โ€ you mumble, embarrassed by your current state. He guides you back to the edge of the mattress before walking away to get a towel from the bathroom. โ€œI was worried something happened to you,โ€ you add weakly.
He wipes the blood trail on your skin before using the hand towel to apply pressure to the puncture in the bend of your arm.
โ€œI'm okay,โ€ he assures you delicately. โ€œI had just gone to get some coffee.โ€ He glances at the styrofoam to-go cup that you hadn't even noticed him place on the bedside table when he entered the room.
โ€œHow long was I asleep?โ€ You ask, noticing that it's still pitch dark outside. You also notice that he's no longer in the clothes that he wore on the mission - now wearing a pair of loose fitting black sweatpants and a matching hoodie. โ€œWhat happened?โ€
โ€œThere was another guy in the back of Petrovโ€™s van,โ€ Bucky tenses, still holding the towel to your arm for you. โ€œWe were both distracted and he snuck up on you. He hit you over the head with a piece of vibranium and threw you into the water.โ€ His jaw clenches as he recounts what happened, meeting your gaze with a pained look.
โ€œBut you saved me,โ€ you finish for him.
โ€œYes,โ€ he gulps. โ€œI did. But I was almost too late. By the time I knocked out Petrov and killed the man who hit you.. it felt like it took forever to find you in the water. You almost drownโ€“โ€
He cuts himself off, unable to force the last word out. A nurse enters the room as you open your mouth to offer him reassurance. Bucky holds your gaze for a split-second longer before reluctantly dropping his hold on your arm and turning to take a seat in the room's singular guest chair.
The nurse informs you that they did a CT scan while you were unconscious, and that while you don't have any swelling or bleeding on your brain from the blow, the doctor believes you to have a concussion and tells you that she will need to do an exam now that you are awake before they feel comfortable discharging you.
Judging by the high-pitched ringing that you've heard in your ears since you woke up and the way that you feel dizzy when you even think about trying to stand up, you don't doubt that you're concussed.
An hour later, you've been thoroughly examined and it is confirmed that yes - you are indeed concussed. The doctor discharges you under the condition that you don't drive and that someone keeps a close eye on you for the next twenty-four hours.
โ€œDon't worry,โ€ you hear Bucky tell her when you step into the bathroom to throw on a pair of dry sweatpants, a t-shirt, and cheap shower slides that the hospital had given you to wear back to the hotel, seeing as how your tactical suit and boots are still sopping wet with ocean water. โ€œI'm not letting her out of my sight.โ€
The nurse who helps you dress gives you a small smirk at his words.
โ€œYou're a lucky woman,โ€ she tells you quietly. โ€œHe was worried sick until you woke up.โ€
You avoid her gaze, your cheeks heating. You busy yourself by tightening the drawstrings to the gray sweatpants.
โ€œI am lucky,โ€ you agree. โ€œHe's a great partner.โ€
She raises an eyebrow at the word partner, but doesn't make any further comment.
By the time that you and Bucky make it back to your hotel room, the sun has started to rise.
Bucky all but carries you inside, only letting go of you when you're perched on the edge of the mattress. Your head is still throbbing despite the extra strength ibuprofen that you'd taken before leaving the hospital, and you still can't walk without stumbling from dizziness, but at least the intense ringing in your ears has begun to subside.
You feel tired down to your very bones, but you have no doubt that Bucky is even more exhausted. You'd been unconscious for nearly eight hours during the night, whereas he had been awake the entire time sitting by your bedside.
โ€œYou get some rest,โ€ you tell him. You brace your hands against the mattress, preparing to attempt to stand back up. โ€œI smell like a mixture of sweat and fish from being in the ocean, so I'm going to shower off.โ€
You push yourself off of the bed, and as quickly as you stand, you're sitting back down. The room immediately begins spinning in circles around you, sending a wave of nausea through the pit of your stomach.
โ€œYeah, not likely,โ€ Bucky huffs lightly. โ€œYou can't stand up, and the shower doesn't have a seat. How about we compromise on a bath?โ€
You give a weak nod, too tired to protest. A warm bath sounds incredible right now.
Bucky retreats to the bathroom, where he turns on the water to fill the tub before returning to help you get up from the bed without toppling over. He secures his flesh arm around your waist and guides you to the closed toilet, where you carefully sit down.
โ€œDo you.. need help undressing? Or..?โ€ He asks hesitantly.
โ€œNo,โ€ you breathe with an awkward laugh. โ€œI think I've got it.โ€
He gives you a quick nod, looking away to give you the privacy to shed your clothes. You carefully tug the oversized t-shirt the hospital had given you over your head, wincing when it brushes against the swollen knot on the side of your scalp. You rise off the lid of the toilet just enough to push your sweatpants down to your ankles.
โ€œOkay,โ€ you murmur, letting him know that you're ready to step into the tub.
He grabs one of your hands in his, and places his metal hand on the small of your back as you step over the side of the large jacuzzi tub and into the water.
Not that you don't trust your other teammates. But with Bucky, it doesn't feel vulnerable.
You're aware of the intimacy of the scenario, but you can't find it in yourself to feel insecure or embarrassed right now - you're sure that's largely due to the concussion, but you think it's also simply because of who you're with.
If it were Sam, or Steve, or anyone else, you know you'd be mortified to be utterly exposed as they help you take a bath. If it were anyone else you wouldn't be taking a bath right now - you would have just gone to sleep and waited until you could fully do it yourself instead of putting yourself in such a vulnerable position.
He lowers you into the water, your entire body instantly relaxing at the warmth. You glance to his face, noticing a faint purple bruise along his cheekbone.
โ€œI'm going to leave the door cracked. I'll be right outside if you need anything. Just let me know when you're ready to get out, okay?โ€
You don't respond, instead reaching up to his face, where you run your finger along the outline of the bruise. He freezes beneath your touch, his eyes meeting yours.
โ€œDon't worry,โ€ he assures you softly. โ€œIt was a lot worse when it first happened. It's already almost gone.โ€
โ€œI'm sorry,โ€ you whisper. โ€œIt happened because of me. I wasn't paying attention as well as I should have been. Should have heard that guy coming.โ€
โ€œDon't say that.โ€ He places his flesh hand on top of where yours still rests against his cheek and then brings it in front of his lips, his eyes never leaving yours. โ€œYou're okay, and that's the only thing that matters now.โ€
โ€œMmm,โ€ you hum, staring at his lips that are no more than an inch away from your hand.
โ€œWhat are you thinking?โ€ he asks, his voice patient and curious.
You hesitate for a brief moment before leaning forward and pressing your lips to the bruise in a featherlight kiss. You pull back, once more resting your back against the tub and giving him a small shrug.
โ€œJust thinking that I wanted to do that. Have for a while.โ€
He grins, a faint blush taking over the apples of his cheeks.
โ€œYeah, I'd say you're definitely concussed.โ€
He then presses his lips to the side of your hand, causing goosebumps to form across your skin despite the warm water that you sit in.
You chuckle, your smile matching his. โ€œI am,โ€ you agree. โ€œBut the concussion will go away soon, and I'll still want to kiss you then, too.โ€
โ€œI hope that you will do just that.โ€
โ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ข
One month later
You wake up to the smell of campfire smoke that creeps through the crack in the partially zipped tent.
Despite a thick sleeping bag, multiple blankets, and the plush sweater that you wear, you can't help but shiver.
Something is missing.
You look around the tent, your eyes adjusting to the early morning daylight that filters into the tent.
Someone is missing.
You reluctantly exit your cozy sleeping bag, shoving your wool sock covered feet into your boots and crawling out of the tent.
Bucky is facing away from you, cracking an egg into a pan that is positioned over the fire.
โ€œGood morning,โ€ you murmur as you creep up behind him, wrapping an arm around his midsection. He wraps his own arm around your shoulders, pulling you flush against him and pressing a kiss to your forehead.
โ€œMorning, sleepy head,โ€ he teases softly. โ€œWhat's on the agenda today?โ€
โ€œMaybe some hiking, maybe some biking,โ€ you shrug into him. โ€œMaybe a little bit of you keeping me warm in that tent.โ€
He laughs, more carefree than you've ever seen him before.
โ€œSee? It's a good thing that your trip got postponed. What if I wasn't here to keep you warm?โ€
You raise up to capture his lips in yours, the taste of fresh brewed French press coffee on his breath.
โ€œRemind me to thank Fury for that when we get back.โ€

starring: simon "ghost" riley x male reader
request: ghost with a femboy reader <33 can be both nsfw or sfw which ever one you r comfortable with!!! :33
warnings: some smut, mentions of male pregnancy + breeding, sexual mentions, femboy!reader, mentions of drinking
SFW-
simon was shocked to say the least when he first layed eyes on you at a farmers market, seeing you dressed in a cute pink skirt as a full face of makeup as you shopped for fruits and veggies.
approaching you slowly to really get a good look at you and confirm if he was seeing things or not (this is the first ever time he's seen a guy dressed like you) and with further investigating following you around the store he realized you were in fact a guy.
he waited patiently till you dropped something to swoop in and helping you pick up your dropped items, using the situation as an opportunity to spike up a conversation on the kinds of apples you were getting and somehow leading to you giving him your number.
he was nervous to actually call you but with some help from the team after showing the a picture of you (that of which you still don't know how he snapped the picture) they were urging him to not let the "fine gentleman go to waste" in the words of captain price and ghost nervously called you.
he was definitely surprised when you answered his call, he had asked you on a date and you somewhat eagerly accepted the mans request, simon silently cheering when he hung up the phone.
and oh. my. god. when he saw you enter the restaurant in the most beautiful suit and all dazzled with your little accessories with the most fine make up he's ever seen he was adjusting his pants the whole night and always excusing himself to the bathroom.
once the date was over he was itching to see you again, not being able to get you off his mind during mission debriefs or even the mission itself, only thinking of your handsome face the whole time.
once you guys finally scheduled your second date he was happy as a clam at high water, smiling the whole way to the park where you planned to meet just for him to get there to see you in a pretty slutty skirt and a crop top, it's like you wanted the man to keel over and die right there.
but he managed to hold himself together the whole date (although he can't deny that he didn't sneak a few peaks at your ass when you'd bend over to smell the flowers and feed the ducks at the lake and also during that date you both finally agreed to now be dating one another.
NSFW-
when he finally got you in his bed it was one night when you were a little drunk after a night out with the team and you were all but throwing yourself at the man, basically begging the man to fuck you with how you caressed his thigh under the table and hiked up your skirt when you 'drop' something on accident.
but simon wasn't complaining when he had been imagining fucking you forever now but the only thing that held his dick at night when he was hard was his own fist and the though of your mouth.
he had made you a moaning, babbling, and incoherent mess by the end of the night after fucking load after load out of you and plowing load after load into your tight hole.
with how good you looked and the way you dressed he had been imagining putting you in all sorts of positions to take his cock and when he finally got the chance he didn't disappoint, putting you in sorts of positions like mating press, missionary, and full nelson, thoroughly impressed by how well you took him in every position.
during it all simon had to keep reminding himself that you can't get pregnant and walk around base all swell with his kids in your tummy but he'd be damned if he didn't try to at least give you a stomach full of his cum.
next day you woke up sore, aching, and barely remembering where you were but with the sight of simon tightly holding you in his arms with that cute but smug smile on his face you nuzzled back into him, maybe even rolling your leaking ass on his crotch just to start a little something.

bonfire - percy jackson
Request: yes! "Hey I was just wondering if you could make a Percy Jackson x gn reader where the reader had a crush on Percy for a while and was jealous of annabeth only to find out Percy felt the same" Pairing:ย ย percy jackson x gn!reader Summary:ย ย you've got a crush on percy, but it looks as if he only has eyes for annabeth. you try to keep your distance, but it's hard and percy notices you're absent Warnings:ย ย jealousy, angst Word count:ย ย 1.5K A/N:ย happy new year!! sadly I went into the year with my tiktok account getting banned because they think I'm 13?? all I do is post silly little pjo videos but apparently its not okay so now I have to start over :( thanks for your request, enjoy!
you wonder if your life would be different if you were more like annabeth.
you're looking at her right now, as she's talking with her team. you know you can't win capture the flag from her. she's too smart. always analysing, always calculating everything that can go wrong and then preventing it.
percy is also looking at annabeth.
he's on her team, after all.
you're trying to listen as clarisse, your team captain, explains her new plan to your team. but you're only hearing half of what she's saying. you're far too focused on percy as he smiles at annabeth while she's talking to him.
you can tell he likes her. and it's not like you hadn't tried to let it go.
you had tried to push your feelings away, to ignore them, nothing worked. when you saw percy chatting with annabeth, you felt a little jealous.
soon your crush on percy and with it, your jealousy of annabeth, started to grow. so you decided if nothing worked, you'd distance yourself from percy.
it hurt, especially since percy was happy to spend his time with annabeth instead of you. at first, he would still invite you to spend time with him. but after you kept declining his offers, he eventually stopped asking you.
you tried not to show anyone how upset you were. maybe it would get easier with time. it's clear to you percy prefers annabeth over you.
on top of it all, you lose capture the flag yet again. you're forced to sit on the sidelines with your team, listening to clarisse tell you everything that went wrong. in the distance, you can see percy and annabeth celebrating their win with the rest of the team.
you tell yourself it's just a game and that you don't care their team won. maybe if you tell yourself it enough times, you might believe it.
when you're walking back to the cabins to put away your armor and weapons, you hear someone call your name behind you.
you turn around and see percy jogging to catch up with you.
you hate the way your heart still skips a beat when you see his eyes and quick smile.
'good game!' he says, stopping in front of you.
'hi percy.' you say.
'hi.' he says with a smile. gods, he's going to be the death of you one day.
'congrats on winning. again.'
'thanks! annabeth had this amazing plan.'
'athena kids, huh?' you mumble, trying not to show your disappointment at how it only took a couple of seconds for percy to bring up annabeth in the conversation.
'you busy tonight?' he says.
you look up at him. surely he wouldn't?
'not really. why?' you say.
'there's a bonfire tonight. want to come?' says percy.
'yeah, that sounds good.' you say. you could never say no to him.
sitting at the bonfire, you hadn't done that in a while. ever since you decided to try and distance yourself from percy, you missed out on things you knew he would be present at.
'great! it was annabeth's idea to host one, see you tonight!' says percy, waving at you and taking off again, headed towards his own cabin.
you just stand there. of course it was annabeth's plan, of course she'd be there as well.
as you walk to your cabin, you're not sure you can stand watching them together all night after watching them win capture the flag. but you'd told percy you'd come. and you hate to let him down.
so when the sun is setting, you make your way to the bonfire. while you're walking, you can't stop thinking about how cold it is. you should have brought a jacket. but you're afraid that if you go back to your cabin, you won't go to the bonfire anymore. and then percy would be upset.
at the bonfire, there's almost no kids from your team. there are a few of your siblings, but not a lot.
the kids from the opposite team are dancing, laughing and celebrating.
is this really where you want to be tonight?
you spot percy in the distance, talking with a few apollo kids. without meaning to, your eyes also search for annabeth. she's sitting with her siblings. at least they're not together again.
you'd stay for an hour. just to show your face, then you'd go back to your cabin. that's acceptable, right?
you get yourself a drink and sit down near the edge of the party, where most of the kids are just talking with each other and not really doing a lot.
as you think back to capture the flag earlier today, you try to figure out how annabeth's team could always beat yours. you know athena kids are smart, but ares kids also know a lot about battle strategies. maybe you could sit down with clarisse some day and see if you can help her with a new plan.
you're lost in thoughts, when you hear a familiar laugh in the distance. you look over and see annabeth has left her siblings and is now sitting next to percy.
you sigh softly, it was never going to be any different, was it?
for a while, you watch the other kids, listening to their songs. you had to give it to the apollo cabin, they know how to get a party started. when you look back at percy and annabeth, percy is gone.
before you can look around where he is, someone sits down next to you.
'having fun?'
you turn and are met with percy's bright eyes. you put on a smile, hoping it looks sincere.
'yeah. thanks for inviting me.' you say.
percy tilts his head a little and gives you a confusing look.
'you say you're having fun and yet since you got here you've been sitting here with a drink you haven't touched, freezing and shivering.' says percy.
right. you forgot your jacket.
'sorry. I was thinking about capture the flag.' you say.
'ah yes, about our fantastic victory.' says percy, smiling and bumping your shoulder. 'you should come up with a new plan some day. maybe talk to clarisse about it?'
'I will.' you say.
'then again, it is hard to beat annabeth's plans. sometimes I don't even know her entire plan until the game is already over.' says percy.
really? how does he manage to bring up annabeth every single time he's talking to you?
'well, don't let me keep you.' you say. 'thanks for checking in, but you don't have to take pity on me for losing. you can go back to annabeth now.'
percy frowns. 'what are you talking about?' he says.
'well, clearly you like her.' you say.
percy laughs at your words. you feel the color drain from your face. tears start to form in your eyes.
'alright, I'm leaving.' you say, getting up.
percy abruptly stops laughing. 'wait no, please don't go.' he says, pulling you back down.
'sorry, I shouldn't have laughed at that. it's just, yeah, I like annabeth. but not like that, we're just friends. I like you, okay? I thought you knew.' says percy.
your lips part in surprise. did you hear that right?
'you like me?' you say. 'like... you like like me?'
percy smiles. gods he really is beautiful. 'yeah, I like like you, alright.' he says. 'which reminds me, why have you been avoiding me lately?'
you look down, fidgeting with the hem of your shirt. 'I thought if I wouldn't see you, my feelings for you would go away.'
'but they didn't.'
'no, they didn't. my eyes were still finding you in ever room. even tonight, I didn't really want to come. but I couldn't say no to you.'
'is that also why you didn't bring a jacket? so you'd have an excuse to go back soon?'
you look up and shake your head. 'no, I did actually forget my jacket.' you say.
percy takes off his sweater and hands it to you. 'here.' he says. 'wouldn't want you to freeze.'
'thank you.' you say, taking it and putting it on. it's bigger than your own sweaters and smells like him.
'want to get out of here?' says percy. 'we can go to the lake. or my cabin, no one's there. it'll just be the two of us.'
'do you have a heater in your cabin?' you say.
'no.' says percy, getting up and holding out his hand to you. 'but consider me your personal heater from now on. always available for cuddles.'
you smile, taking his hand. 'I like that.' you say.
as you and percy walk off, annabeth is still sitting by the campfire. she's smiling to herself. she knew about percy's crush on you. he'd been asking her all sorts of advice. and it looks like he finally told you.

Touch Tank
Pairing: Loki x Reader
Wordย Count:ย 5.5k (look it wasn't supposed to be this many- my characters got away from me)
Warnings: sheesh, oral (f receiving), fingering, handjob, creampie, Loki is very soft and worshiping, unprotected sex (be safe) I think that's it idk this is kind of mild compared to some of my other stuff- could be waaaay more raunchy lmao
Genre: fluff, smut
Summary: Loki is not the easiest person to get close to, but you're not deterred by his standoffishness. He deserves a friend in the tower and you're determined to be at least that much.
He's so pretty when he goes down on me // he tells me he's gentle when he wants to be // I think he wants to be gentle with me ~ Touch Tank by Quinnie
Tumblr media
***
You rush down the hall, excited for your night out with a group of your non-Avenger friends. You make a point to see your other friends as often as you can to balance those relationships with your ones on the team. After all, living with the Avengers means that you see them all the time, but being an Avenger is not all there is to you. Walking into the main room you're surprised to see Loki sitting at the kitchen counter, just kind of staring at nothing.
"You alright Lo?" You ask him carefully. Your question seems to pull him out of whatever trance he was in.
"I'm fine." He says, though his face isn't convincing.
"Okay? Happy staring- I'm going out so- I'll see you later then." You frown heading over to the main elevator. Loki's not exactly close to anyone in the tower except Thor, and even that he'd argue is false but you always make a point to include him even when the others ignore him a bit. As you ride down to street level you can't help but wonder what has him so pensive up there by himself. On the street, waiting for a taxi to flag down, you can't get yourself to shake Loki from your mind so- reluctantly you dial one of your friends.
"Y/n!" Your friend's excited voice practically yells down the line.
"Hey! Listen, you know I hate to do this, and I wouldn't if it wasn't important, but I'm not going to be able to make it out tonight, something's come up. I'm okay, I just can't come. You guys have fun! I want loads of pictures and a play-by-play once one of you returns to life tomorrow yeah?"
"Aw we're gonna miss you!"
"Ditto! But I'll see you guys soon! Tell the girls I said hi!" You say.
"Of course! Take care, and call if you need anything!"
"Same to you!" You blow a kiss as you end the call and sigh. "Dammit Loki." You roll your eyes as you turn around and go back inside. You ride the elevator back up to the main floor where Loki is still sitting at the counter. You knock on the counter in front of him and grab a bottle of water from the fridge.
"Aren't you meant to be going somewhere?" Loki's eyes narrow at you.
"I was, but I called my friend on my way down and she's actually not feeling too hot so we decided it'd be best to reschedule once she's feeling better." You shrug. You know better than to tell him you cancelled your plans because you saw him moping at the counter. He'd flip at the first possible hint of you pitying him, even though that isn't what this is.
"I see."
"Do you want to watch a movie or something?" You offer.
"What?" He scoffs.
"Well- I was supposed to be spending time interacting with people tonight and that fell through but I'd feel kinda bummed if I spent the whole evening alone now after all the mental prep to be social so if you can be so terribly bothered to hang out for a bit I'd- value that." You say. Loki looks you over as he considers your words and then he sighs.
"I suppose I could spare a few hours, but only because I can'tย standย watching you mope around the tower the way you do whenever you're disappointed, it's pathetic. But this favor is a huge inconvenience to me I just want you to know that." He says and you have to fight the urge to smile. You know the show of bravado is for his own sake more than anything, and you're willing to let him have it, but it's funny to think of how much rationalizing he's doing to convince himself it's alright to spend time with you.
"Your sacrifice is both duly noted and greatly appreciated. I can offer you compensation in the form of a meal or freshly baked cookies." You say. Loki's eyes light up very briefly at the offer of cookies, he'll never admit it out loud but he loves your baking, he always eats almost half a tray when you make them.
"You know Midgardian food has very little appeal to me, but I suppose a batch of cookies will do." He says with feigned disinterest.
"Do you want them now or at a later date?"
"I have no interest in dragging this out, so now would be better."
"Alright, give me five minutes to change, I'll make you some cookies and we can throw on a movie." You smile at him. You change out of your dress and into a hoodie and shorts. Twenty minutes later you're sat with a tray of cookies and a few other small bites with some random sitcom on the TV.
"I don't understand the point of this. Is there even a plotline?" Loki scoffs.
"Yes but only a little one."
"A little one?"
"So there are a number of shows that you can throw on and watch out of order with little consequence. Like if youย doย watch every episode in order there is a throughline of like character development and life changes but if you jump into, let's say, season 3 episode 2, you'll just see some funny little antics that are mostly inconsequential and chances are will not come up again until maybe the finale where they recount all their little goofs over the years." You explain.
"Why?"
"Mindless entertainment? It's nice to have something to watch that you don't have to be aware of watching." You shrug. "Lots of shows have complex storylines and characters that need to be paid attention to in order to comprehend what you're watching. Sometimes you don't want to do all of that." You shrug.
"If you don't want to think about what you're watching, why watch anything?" He frowns.
"Pass the time, fill the silence, any number of things. Like we have one on but we're talking now so we're not really paying it any attention, but because it's a sitcom we're not missing anything vital because there's nothing vital to miss. And when this conversation lulls to a stop we'll just tune back in and pick up wherever it's at."
"Your Midgardian habits are very strange." Loki hums.
"What do you do when you're bored and want to be entertained without much effort?" You ask him.
"That specific phenomenon I'm not quite familiar with. If I'm bored, I read, practice spells, on Asgard there wasn't much time for boredom." He shrugs.
"Well, things are different on Midgard. And seeing as you hate everyone and everything about this place you may find yourself well acquainted with that specific phenomenon sooner than you might think." You say.
You gotta say you're pretty proud of your ability to interact positively with Loki. When he first started living here you never would've guessed you'd be watching movies and having silly conversations like this. He's always been rather closed off from the team but perhaps that's something you can actually work around.
*~*~*
"Loki!" You call when you catch him in the hall.
"What?" He rolls his eyes.
"Are you busy?" You ask.
"Why?" His eyes narrow suspiciously.
"Well I was meant to go to the aquarium with Thor today-"
"Thor is on Asgard." Loki says.
"Yes exactly." You nod. You weren't meant to do anything with Thor today, but it seems the key to the trickster god is minor deceptions.
"Did he forget you were going to this 'aquarium' today?"
"It would appear so. Which- I'm not mad about really but these tickets did cost money and I can't exchange them for another dateย soย I was hoping you'd be able to replace him that way the ticket doesn't go to waste." You explain to him.
"You don't have anyone else you could ask?" He huffs.
"Not on such short notice." You shake your head.
"How short is short notice?"
"We need to be there in forty minutes."
"Oh you have got to be kidding me." Loki scoffs.
"If you come with me, when we get back I'll bake you a batch of cookies." You offer. It seems to be the easiest way to get him to do things. You watch Loki contemplate for a moment before he caves to his inner discussion although you're not sure there was much of a debate once you offered baked goods.
"Very well, I'll go so you don't waste your money, but you can't keep bringing your nonsense to me in exchange for cookies." He says.
"Of course not!" You smile knowing damn well you will be doing it again if you see fit. Loki will never admit to enjoying your company or wanting you to make him cookies, but considering he always accepts your offers and never truly complains when you're together, you know the irritation is only a front. "We'll leave in 15 minutes 'kay?"
"Very well." He says. You head back to your room to get yourself together and 15 minutes later you meet Loki by the kitchen.
"Ready Lo?" You ask.
"Yes let's get on with it." He says. You loop your arm through his as you leave the tower and you're surprised he doesn't protest the contact, but you won't bring it up. At the aquarium, you excitedly talk about all your favorite exhibits as you walk from section to section. "So what was the plan exactly?" Loki asks.
"What?"
"With Thor, why were you bringing him here in the first place?"
"Oh! Well because there's a lot he still wants to learn about Earth so I've been trying to take him places where he can learn a number of things at the same time." You shrug.
"And how is that going?"
"We've done the zoo and a couple of museums already so I'd say not bad. Oh, we're by the jellyfish, you should see the touch tank!" You say.
"The what now?" Loki frowns. You grab his hand and lead him to the shallow tank of water off to one side.
"This is a touch tank. These are jellyfish, they're like 95% water and don't have brains, some of them are dangerous, but these ones are pretty harmless and you can touch them! Only on the tops of their heads though. Like this." You lift his hand up and push down all but two of his fingers and then slowly, you guide his hand into the water. "You have to be gentle." You tell him softly as you let his fingers touch the top of a moon jelly in the pool. You turn to Loki with a small smile only to find him already looking at you very intensely.
"I'm quite gentle when I want to be." He says quietly. You step back a bit and clear your throat, dipping your own fingers in to touch a jellyfish for yourself.
"Well I hope you want to be gentle with the moon jellies. This is one of my favorite things here." You tell him.
"So anyone can just walk up and pet the jellyfish?"ย 
"Yeah! Isn't it cool?"
"Sure." He nods.
"Wait till you see some of the other Jellyfish they've got here! They're insane!" You take his hand again and walk further into the jellyfish exhibit.
"They have more open tanks of creatures?"
"Oh- no all the other Jellyfish are in closed tanks." You giggle.
"Just as well, you said some are dangerous, no?"
"Well, yes, but aren't they just so beautiful?" You say looking at one of the tanks.
"Breathtaking." Loki says before he can help himself. He clears his throat, lucky you're so captivated with the floating water creatures that you don't even notice his eyes on you as opposed to the exhibits.
"Thank you for coming with me." You tell him.
"You bribed me."
"True- but you still could have said no. Especially since you're not even a fan of our, how do you say it? 'Mediocre Midgardian food'."
"Yes well, you pout when you're disappointed and it's incredibly displeasing to see. The whole tower suffers your moods. And while Midgardian food is mediocre yours is- the least. Plus I can rub this in Thor's face."
"I see you really weighed those pros and cons." You chuckle.
"I must. If I'm to disrupt my entire afternoon on such short notice." He shrugs. You roll your eyes and pull him through to the next exhibit but the smile on your face can't be hidden.
~*~*~
You hum to yourself as you enter the tower library.
"Good morning Loki." You say immediately spotting him on one of the lounge chairs. He's always in here, it's like his sanctuary and over the last few weeks you've found it easy to interact with him.
"It's 3pm y/n."
"It's morning somewhere Lo, time is arbitrary, don't be a grump." You shrug.
"What are you doing here anyway?" He rolls his eyes.
"Utilizing the insane collection of books we have considering there's only like 3 people living here that would ever pick up a book for from here."
"You've been coming here a lot lately."
"Why should you be the only one taking advantage of this big otherwise undisturbed room?"
"The best part of this room is that none of you come here."
"If you want to not run the risk of having to interact with anyone who lives here to might I suggest your room which has a lock on it." You smile brightly.
"Very funny." Loki scoffs.
"I thought so too!" You snap back. Loki gives you a dry look.
"Must you be so-"
"Charming? Witty? Adorable?"
"Not quite the adjectives I would've chosen." He says.
"Well next time finish your sentence." You wink at him.
"Are you trying to get under my skin?"
"Of course not! But it's pretty easy."
"Why must you bother me?" His eyes narrow.
"Maybe because you like talking to me more than you want to admit."
"And why would you think that?"
"Because you always do."
"Doย what?"
"I'm sure you can figure that out." You say turning to leave the library.
"Do what y/n!?" He calls after you. "You didn't even get a book!" He shouts as the library doors close behind you. Loki frowns to himself for a moment and then decides to contact the only person he'd ever go to for advice on any subject. A looking glass spell slowly brings Frigga to life above his palm.
"Mother." He gets her attention.
"Loki?" Frigga picks up her looking glass with a smile. "Hello my darling boy. So lovely to hear from you. Thor tells me you're well."
"In the physical sense, yes." Loki nods.
"What troubles you my dear son?"
"I think Midgardian women might be more confusing than those on Asgard." Loki says.
"A woman? Do you feel for her?"
"Don't be ridiculous mother." Loki's words come out as a breathless chuckle.
"It is not ridiculous. She plagues your mind. Why, if you do not feel for her?"
"Truthfully I'm not sure." He frowns.
"Have youย consideredย that youย feel for her?"
"How would I know?"
"I believe the fact that you are asking may perhaps be a strong indicator already. This girl, do you see her often?"
"She lives here so yes." He nods.
"I mean intentionally darling." Frigga smiles.
"What?"
"Walking past her in the hallways is not quite what I'm referring to."
"Oh- well she's the least insufferable person here so- sometimes, yes. Though it's usually her bribing me to do things when her other plans fall through."
"What do you mean?"
"Well she invited me to this water creature house they call an aquarium a couple of weeks ago because Thor forgot he was meant to go with her."
"Are you sure Thor was meant to go with her?" She asks.
"I don't follow." Loki shakes his head.
"I wonder if this girl is playing tricks on my trickster." Frigga smiles knowingly.
"Do you overestimate her or underestimate me to believe I could be outsmarted by a mortal?"
"It is not a blow Loki, be calm my son. She plagues your mind when she is not there, she has made her way to a spot many people never have the pleasure of knowing within you. I believe she has stolen your heart and even you do not know it yet."
"What makes you think that?"
"In all your years Loki you have never once asked me about a girl. And this one seems to have you quite... wrapped."
"I resent that notion." He scoffs.
"What made you contact me?"
"Well she was-" Loki stops himself, his mother has already decided Loki is a goner, perhaps he shouldn't feed her any more information.
"She was with you Loki?"
"I spend a lot of time in the library. She came by and we had a short conversation that's all."
"What did she say?" Frigga asks.
"She thinks I like her more than I do. Or rather more than I will admit. I asked her why and she refused to answer."
"Well- what would lead her to believe that?"
"I have no idea." Loki scoffs.
"How is your relationship with her different than with the others?"
"I don't speak to the others. I only speak to her and Thor."
"Tell me about her."
"She is- happy, but not like Thor- his happiness is loud and aggressive she is- a calmer happiness. She seems to be crucial to the peace in this madhouse. Not for me, for everyone. She's also frustratingly smart, she has a comeback for everything and- it's nice to feel as though someone on this dreadful planet can match me- even if I find it vexing at times. Also she bakes- I don't quite enjoy Midgardian food but her treats are quite good though I refuse to tell her that-"
"I'm sure she knows." Frigga says with a soft smile.
"Why are you smiling like that."
"If you could see your face when you speak of this girl you would know like I know that your heart is no longer yours."
"My heart is very much still-"
"No darling. You may not realize but your mind has already given your heart to her. Follow your heart to her. Allow yourself to go there. It will do you good and you deserve it."
"Mother I cannot." He shakes his head.
"You can, and I suggest you do soon. If you do not tell her she has your heart you risk her unknowingly breaking it. Though I sense she is more aware than you may think. Certainly she's more aware than you are."
"You keep saying that-"
"There was no day planned with Thor. I would bet money she wanted to go with you, but you are a tricky thing. To catch fox you must think like one."
"What do I do mother? If you are right and this girl does have me, what do I do?" Loki asks.
"Be kind, be honest, be true. Don't wait too long." Frigga warns.
"Don't wait too long?" He frowns.
"Yes child, that woman will not wait forever for you to wake up."
"What if she is not waiting?"
"You misunderstand. I'm not saying she is waiting on you to come to your senses what I'm saying is that affections change one day she may not enjoy your time as she does now, someone serious may woo her and you miss your chance entirely, stars forbid it but something could happen to her or you. Do not get in your own way Loki, you have a tendency to do that."
"I do not get in my own way."
"Loki." Frigga says, leveling her son with an unimpressed look.
"I will consider your advice mother thank you." Loki cedes.
"Good. Iย willย expect an update soon so be prepared for me to check in."
"Of course mother. Take care."
"You too my son." Frigga sets her looking glass down and Loki disconnects his end of the spell with a sigh. If Frigga is correct, Loki has much to consider, and rather quickly based on her warnings.
*~*~*
When the door to the library opens you don't bother looking up. The book you're reading is far too interesting to stop mid-page.
"What are you doing?" Loki jumps when he walks passed you. You look up momentarily, debating how badly you want to make a stupid joke.
"I'm practicing my backhand spring." You say flatly.
"You're sitting on the couch?"
"I'm also holding a book and yet you asked what I'm doing. I don't know what answer you expected honestly." You shrug.
"I just meant you're not usually sitting around in here."
"Is reading in the library that odd to you?" You chuckle.
"Well- no. I was just expecting the library to be empty." He says.
"Would you like me to leave?"
"Why would you offer to leave? You were here first."
"Yeah but I can read anywhere. Your hermit tendencies limit your spaces far more than mine."
"I am not a hermit." Loki rolls his eyes.
"Of course not." You hum.
"I'm not. I just have no desire to waste my time having unintelligent conversations with the uncultured morons that live here."
"Well don't letย meย bother you then."
"Not you, the others. And you can obviously stay."
"Why thank you for deeming me worthy enough to stay in your presence." You quip dramatically.
"It's not as if you care what I deem anyhow."
"True, that was sarcasm. Happy reading." You turn your attention back to your book and though Loki would like the conversation to continue he can't think of anything to say to justify pulling your focus from the book you're so clearly captivated by. You're in the library with your book for a few more hours and during that time Loki cannot help the way his eyes wander to you every so often, he doesn't even realize it's happening at first but once he does his mother's words that have been in his head for the past 2 weeks ring even louder.
~*~*~
"Y/n!" Wanda practically sings as she walks, no from the sound of it she's skipping, over to you at the kitchen island.
"Yes Wanda my dear?" You chuckle, setting your sandwich back on its plate.
"You know our coffee shop?"
"Around the block?"
"Yep!" She nods.
"What of it?"
"Well I heard through the grapevine that someone who works there has a crush on you."
"You heard- through the grapevine?" You quirk up an eyebrow at her.
"Cassie told me."
"How did you end up in that conversation?" You chuckle.
"Not the point, we should go down there!" She suggests excitedly.
"I'm eating a sandwich-"
"Not right now, tomorrow morning."
"You wanna tell me-ย whoย this mystery crush is? Because I'm not going anywhere if you don't tell me." You say biting your sandwich.
"It's Elliot."
"Oh he's cute-"
"Wanda." Vision calls as the main elevator arrives.
"Soooo we'll game plan when I get back?" She asks walking backwards.
"Fine." You shake your head and chuckle as she disappears in the elevator with Vision. You take a bite of your sandwich, presumably alone again, only to hear a throat clearing from behind you. You look over your shoulder to find Loki the source of the sound.
"Oh hi Loki." You say covering your mouth.
"Hello." He mutters.
"What brings you out of hiding today?"
"I'm not a hibernating bear you know."
"Of course not." You hum. Loki opens the fridge to grab something to drink, although it's mostly just so he can convince himself to bite the bullet and confess to you before this 'Elliot' from the coffee shop has an opportunity to turn your head like his mother warned him of.
"Do you have a moment? I know you're- eating but I'd like to talk- about something." He says awkwardly.
"Sure. I can use multiple senses at once. What's up?" You ask taking another bite of your sandwich. Loki opens his mouth a couple of times before he frowns. "Is something wrong Loki?"
"I don't know." He says, brows furrowed as he looks at the floor.
"You don'tย knowย if something's wrong? Are you dizzy? Dehydrated? Feverish? Do you need to sit down?" You sit up, concerned.
"No, I don't."
"You sure? You look kind of- constipated. I think you should sit down."
"I don'tย wantย to y/n." He grits out.
"Okay, calm down no need to get angry with me for caring."
"You said I look constipated!"
"Well you do! But only a little bit!"
"This is not going at all how I planned it?"
"What are you on about Loki?" You frown.
"Nothing it was just way easier to do this in my head."
"Easier to doย what?"
"Never mind. Enjoy your lunch." Loki pivots and you almost knock over your barstool trying to stop him from leaving the kitchen.
"Not so fast god of mischief tell me what it is you're so panicked about."
"It's nothing y/n." He rolls his eyes.
"Nonsense. If it were nothing you wouldn't have made such a big deal out of it in the first place." You tell him.
"Yes, I over reacted, which is what I just realized and why I'm no longer interested in having this conversation." He says completely avoiding your gaze.
"Don't be a coward Loki." You snap.
"I beg your pardon?" His eyes widen.
"Don't be a coward. I've never known you to shy away from sharing your thoughts even when nobody asked don't tell me suddenly you're incapable of speaking your mind."
"I am far from incapable." He says.
"So spill it." You push.
"And if I don't?"
"Then you're not who I thought you were."
"Over a personal thought?" His eyebrow raises.
"It's the principle. What have you got to lose that makes you so fearful of your own voice?"
"Something I didn't even realize was important to me until recently." He says quietly.
"What's that?" You ask. Loki's eyes scan your face for a long moment, and if not for how close you are you'd swear he's holding his breath for how shallow it is.
"You." He whispers.
"I'm not going anywhere." You shake your head.
"I'm afraid you may take that back if you hear that which I refuse to say." He says.
"Is the reward worth the risk?" You ask.
"If I'm lucky."
"I'm disappointed that you see me as someone so easily run off Loki."
"That's not what this is." He shakes his head.
"No? It sounds like it."
"Do you see me as somebody that could be loved?"
"Of course I do. Thor loves you unconditionally. Your mother too from what I've heard."
"Do you see me as somebody that could be loved, by you?" This question is far more hesitant.
"Is that what you want?"
"In time, yes." He nods and a stray giggle escapes your lips.
"That's what you thought would drive me away?!" You shake your head. "Maybe you haven't noticed but I put quite a bit of effort into creating time to spend with you."
"Oh come on it's mostly coincidence, your friends canceling or Thor forgetting you had plans."
"You silly trickster. I chose to spend that time with you." You say.
"To be clear- does that mean you're as taken with me as I am with you?" Loki asks.
"You're taken with me?!" You blink at him in shock.
"Yes was I not clear about-"
"I'm joking Loki I just wanted to hear you say it directly." You smile.
"Youย vexย me." He breathes out.
"And yet you like me anyway. Even more than I expected."
"Don't boast."
"How can I not?" You ask.
"I can think of a few ways to stop you."
"You can try Loki but I'm not so easily swayed." You taunt. Loki's hand comes up to your cheek and he kisses you. His lips are soft and he kisses you as if he's got all the time in the world. When Loki pulls away your eyes flutter open with surprise.
"How's that for sway?" He smirks.
"I'll admit that wasn't a terrible start." You breathe.
"Oh yeah?" Loki lifts you into his arms suddenly and you squeal in surprise as he carries you to his room. He lays you gently on his bed and kisses you again. "Not a terrible start is not enough." He hums trailing to your neck, peppering your throat with kisses and light nibbles. Loki pulls your shirt over your head. "Stars above you're beautiful." He mutters trailing his fingers delicately across your newly exposed skin.
"I'm not a flower you know." You giggle, the soft touches making you feel ticklish.
"What do you mean?" He frowns.
"Nothing bad. You're just being much more gentle than I'd have expected." You tell him caressing his face. He pauses for a moment as you trace his features.
"Do you remember what I said at the aquarium?"
"About the hammerhead shark reminding you of-"
"No about being gentle you silly girl." He says with a disbelieving chuckle.
"Oh! Yes that you can be when you want to be."
"Precisely."
"I didn't realize it applied elsewhere."
"Do you not like gentle?"
"Gentle is good." You shake your head. "Just unexpected." You smile. Loki returns your smile and leans down to press kisses down your abdomen. He pulls your shorts and panties off together, kissing your calf ones you're freed from the fabric. Loki's eyes are on you as his lips glide up your leg, opened mouthed kisses until he reaches your thigh where he bites at the skin, just enough for you to feel it. With one last kiss to your hip, Loki buries his face in your heat. You gasp at the first feel of his tongue against your center. His movements are unhurried as he watches your reactions to his mouth. When he finds the rhythm that you react the strongest to he sticks to it, enjoying the whimpers and moans he pulls from you and the way your body grinds against him.
"Oh god." You pant, one hand tangling in his hair. When you feel two of his fingers slowly glide into your entrance and curl upwards your eyes shoot open with a whine that makes Loki hum against you. You glance down at him, surprised to see his green eyes peering up at you with something akin to adoration shining in them and despite the pleasure building in your belly all you can think about for a brief moment is how... pretty he looks. Of course, that train of thought is lost when Loki wraps his lips around your clit, focusing his attention on the sensitive bundle of nerves. Between his tongue and his fingers you don't have a chance of staving off the orgasm that washes over you soon after. Loki works you through it, only pulling away when your breathing starts to steady.
"You are a vision in the heat of release you know." He says a hand on your chin to guide your attention.
"No, I did not know that." You smile reaching up to undress Loki. You pull his shirt over his head, littering his chest with kisses as you undo his pants but don't pull them down. You slip your hand into the waistband of his underwear stroking his hard hot dick.
"F-fucking hell you might be the death of me." Loki breathes out shuddering beneath your touch.
"I sure hope not. I quite like you alive you know." You joke with a giggle. Loki grabs your wrist and shakily pulls your hand from him.
"Right, if this goes on I'll embarrass myself." He says with a slight chuckle shifting to pull his pants down enough to free himself. He lines himself with your entrance and slowly works himself passed your walls with short rolling thrusts, deeper each time.
"That's nothing to be embarrassed about you know Loki." You tell him, admittedly a bit winded as he fills you.
"Maybe not, but I'll admit it's not ideal for our first time together." He groans as he bottoms out.
"Don't get caught up in expectations Loki." You tell him.
"Only my own darling." He says. Loki holds still for a few moments, allowing you to adjust to his size, only moving when you begin to grind against him.
"Move, Loki, please." You groan. Loki lets out a breath as he starts a steady rhythm. He's immediately a string of groans and curses in your ear as he fucks you, his sounds mingling with yours beautifully.
"Gods you feel even better than I could've imagined." He pants out between thrusts.
"Don't stop baby. God you feel so good." You moan, grinding up against his hips to meet his movements. Loki reaches between your bodies and his fingers find your clit, rubbing tight circles against the bud that turn your quiet moans to loud whines.
"Come on darling, I want to feel you cum on my dick. Please y/n- let go for me." Loki coaxes, kissing at your throat again and it doesn't take long for your body to tense with the feeling of another orgasm. Loki groans deeply as your walls tighten around him from your release.
"Did you like that Loki? Feeling my pussy clench from cumming for you? You're close aren't you? Come on baby, cum for me."
Loki's thrusts speed up a bit, then falter, and stall altogether moments later as you feel the heat of his release inside you. Loki kisses your shoulder gently as he comes down from his orgasm, your fingers stroking his hair a comfort he wouldn't have thought he'd enjoy.
"You know- I know you were trying to get me to stop boasting but if boasting always ends with us like this I'm inclined to do it more often." You say after a few moments of silence and Loki chuckles against your neck.
"Boasting is not a prerequisite my darling." He says sitting up. Loki conjures a damp cloth and gently dabs first your face, then your neck, and carefully between your legs before helping you into his shirt.
"Well what is?" You ask.
"There isn't one you tricky girl." He chuckles pulling you into his chest.
"How amย Iย the tricky one here?"
"You caught the fox, I think that's worth some tricky points."
"What fox? Are you the fox?"
"Mhm." He nods.
"Well- then that's by far the best thing I've ever caught." You smile up at him.
"The fox isn't complaining either." He hums and you cuddle closer to him. This hadn't exactly been your original gameplan with Loki but this is way better than any outcome you could've expected.

Game Over
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: gamerbf!yunho x fem!reader
Genre: smut
Word count: 2.8k
Summary: Trying to get your boyfriend's attention while he games is sometimes really difficult. Too bad when he finally turns his eyes on you, his only intention is to punish.
Warnings: smut, MDNI, reader calls Yunho sir, pet names (baby, princess), orgasm denial, Yunho covers reader in cum, degradation, yunho calls reader slut once, yunho slaps reader once, mean dom yunho for sure
A/n: This was inspired by a lovely little conversation I had with @yuyusbabygirl. I hope it lives up to your expectations babe! It was nice to work on something short while I'm working on a much longer and darker Yunho one shot, which I cannot wait to post. I hope you all enjoy this one! <3 (anyone else like getting slapped in the face during sex? just me?)
Tumblr media
You walk into your shared bedroom to find your boyfriend in his favorite grey hoodie, legs stretched wide with a controller in his hand.
It was his favorite way to wind down after work, the position you found him in countless times. But after your little trip to the lingerie store this evening, you're finding it hard to accept that his attention isn't on you.
You'd purchased a beautiful pink set today, one you'd been eyeing for months now. On your walk home you'd seen it in the window, finally on sale, and you couldn't resist. The style accentuated your body in just the right way, and the bottoms were amazingly comfortable given just how tight and up your ass they were. And really, you just looked amazing in it; even you could admit that, despite not always loving your body.
You thought you'd wait until the weekend, until your planned date night to show it to him. You could make it total surprise, as he had no idea where you'd just been. But when you opened your bedroom door and he didn't even look up, you couldn't deal with the way it seemed like he didn't even notice you.
Out in the living room you strip off your clothes, hastily slipping on the lacy pink set and promptly walking straight back into your bedroom.
"Babe, can I show you something?" you ask, standing in the frame of the door. Finally Yunho's head turns towards you, after he carefully pauses his game. "What do you think?" you ask, turning in a slow circle and posing for him.
"It's beautiful baby. Those are the ones you wanted last time we were there, right?"
"Yeah, they were on sale today, so I couldn't resist," you smile, momentarily relieved that his eyes are on you and not on that damn TV screen.
"You know I could have bought them for you," he says, sighing slightly. Is he disappointed? Do you not look as good as you think? You stare back in surprise, his tone suggesting he isn't affected by this at all. And god does it irk you, enough to grab your silk robe from the closet and throw it over your shoulders. No way in hell were you taking off this beautiful set, and if he wasn't going to enjoy it, then you'd spend the evening enjoying it yourself.
You settled back down on the couch in the living room, absentmindedly scrolling your phone and texting back a few of your online friends. You got lost in it for a minute, but you'd be lying if Yunho's tone of disinterest wasn't still playing in the back of your head. You were bothered that he still hadn't come out to you, that he hadn't been affected in the way you knew he always was by your body. Was his game tonight really that interesting?
Without thinking you stood and walked back into the bedroom, walking over to the side table on his side of the bed. Leaning down to open the drawer you squeeze your chest together, knowing that from this angle he has a perfect view of your tits in all their glory.
"You good?" he asks, again his tone sounding a little distant, despite the way his eyes are glued to your chest.
"I can't find my charger, I thought I might have left it over here," you lie, closing the drawer again and standing back up, sauntering out of the room and looking back over your shoulder as you exit, seeing his eyes glued this time to your ass. You're sure now he'll come out, sure that once his game finishes he'll be pouncing on you, and you wait with bated breath, again pulling up your phone and randomly scrolling.
But again, he doesn't come. Your anger is building, and before you know it your legs have taken you back to the bedroom, this time climbing onto the bed and standing up, pretending to adjust a poster on the wall and partially blocking his view with your thigh.
"Baby, seriously?" he asks below you, tapping on your leg to try to get you to move it.
"I noticed this poster was about to fall," you lie again, pursing your lips together in a pout and staring down at him. From this angle you know he has quite the view of your center, only a very thin strip of fabric not even totally covering your outer lips. You know he loves your thighs, and this time you're sure he'll break, but again, somehow, he's still focused on his game, somehow winning the level despite the screen being partially out of view.
You sigh and head back out the living room, not sure what to do with yourself. The lingerie is getting you worked up yourself, and so is the way he's not paying attention to you. It's making you feel desperate, angry, pathetic, and you're not sure how much longer you can take this little game. You pace around the room, not even looking at your phone anymore, not able to think of anything but the throb that has started in your core and Yunho's soft, large hands sweeping deftly over that black controller.
You're stumbling back into the bedroom again, this time even less sure of your movements, and you find yourself in front of the TV, dusting the top of the picture frames that hang on the wall there.
"Hey, seriously, what's up?" you hear Yunho ask, but this time you don't even respond, carefully dusting over the top of the frames so as not to knock them down. "Baby..." he trials off, and finally you hear his tone of voice change.
"Baby, answer me," he commands, and his voice is low and almost scary in a way that's making your whole body tingle.
"I just- I've been meaning to dust these for a long time and I keep forgetting, so I thought I'd better do it before I forget again for months," you stutter, still not turning around.
"Turn around, look at me," he demands, and you turn yourself around to face him, your hands behind your back as you stand provocatively, pushing out your chest. "I think you're trying to piss me off, aren't you?"
"No, I'm not I swear," you respond, turning on those pathetic puppy-dog eyes of innocence, and it makes his blood boil that you keep lying to him so effortlessly.
"I think you're lying," he says, gently setting down his controller and pulling off his hoodie in one swift motion, smoothing down his hair that was tousled out of place. "You want my attention on you, not on my game, huh?" He cocks his head to the side, a proud smile on his lips as he knows he's right.
"Nuh-uh," you shake your head, maintaining your facade, too far in now to back out. "Those pictures really needed dusting."
"And you needed to be wearing that, while you dust? You couldn't wait till I was finished with my games tonight to do it? Sounds pretty fucking unbelievable, if you ask me," he responds, now standing by the side of the bed and staring you down, his physical presence adding to the intimidation in his tone.
"I swear," you say, pouting again.
"Look at you, lying again. What do you think stupid little liars deserve?" he asks, hands on his hips.
"I- I don't know, sir," you say, slipping into the headspace best for punishment before he can even say it.
"I think they deserve a little punishment, don't you? For being bad. Lying is bad, wouldn't you agree?" he asks, his voice dripping in mock sweetness.
"Yes, sir," you nod your head, your clit throbbing with anticipation and your eyes already heavy with lust.
"Get on the bed, princess, right there." He points to where he was just sitting, his feet not moving an inch as he watches you crawl across it and sit yourself down. "Now spread your legs for me," he commands, and you follow automatically, like you don't even have a choice. You're anticipating a slap, a pinch, something painful to start the punishment, so you're surprised when he just sits himself down in front of you, so casually you'd think the two of you were just sitting down at a restaurant for a meal.
"Now, are you going to be honest with me?" he asks, eyeing you sharply.
"Yes, sir, I promise," you squeak in response, your head already buzzing with the way your legs are spread and open for him.
"Were you lying to me, earlier?" he asks, raising his eyebrows in expectation. You squirm, your eyes darting everywhere in the room but just him, not expecting him to force this out of you.
"I- uh-" you stutter.
"Baby, eyes on me. And stop hesitating, it's pissing me off," he says, his eyes dark when you finally meet his again, the breath leaving your lungs.
"I- yes- yes I did, I'm sorry," you whine, hoping this won't add to the punishment ahead.
"I'm sorry?" he asks, head cocked to the side.
"I'm sorry sir," you rush out, tears now threatening to form in your eyes.
"And you know lying is bad, so you know you deserve this punishment, right?" he asks. You nod your head vigorously, breath hitching in your throat. "Say it," he spits, his tone angry.
"I deserve this punishment, sir," you say, your eyes getting droopy with lust, your heart pounding in your chest with all of the adrenaline coursing through you.
"So you won't beg for it to stop, will you? You'll let me have my way with you until I think you've learned your lesson?"
"Yes sir, I promise," you respond, but you know it's not true, there's no way it could be. The begging is what he likes more than anything, and you know in mere moments you'll be weeping for him.
"Good. Now put your hands behind your back and don't you dare move them till I say you can," he says, moving forwards towards you, resting on his knees between your legs. He brushes a thumb over the lace fabric covering your hips, tracing the edging down and finally past your soaking, aching core, making you moan immediately at the contact. He slowly brushes his thumb in a large oval, hitting over your clit at the top, but with the fabric in between it just doesn't feel as good as you know it can. You're waiting for a slap, waiting for a change in position, honestly, so you're shocked when he reaches into his own pants with his other hand and frees his cock, the head red and already leaking.
He begins stroking himself slowly, matching the rhythm of his thumb on your cunt, and slowly the pleasure builds, agonizingly slowly. You're trying to relax into it, but you're tense from the anticipation of what punishment might be coming, so you don't quite know what to do. Your eyes are locked on his cock, on the way his hand moves up and down it so fluidly, Yunho spitting on it and spreading the wetness around, his strokes visibly speeding up. After what feels like ten minutes, but is probably barely sixty seconds, you're sure he's not punishing you after all, and your head swims with pride for a second that he's so turned on he's forgotten his intentions entirely.
"More, yuyu, please," you whine, trying to buck your hips into his thumb to gain more pressure on your clit.
"More, who? And is that begging I'm hearing?" he growls, his eyebrows pinched together in a look of dominance and anger.
"I- I'm sorry, sir," you squeak, your eyes locked on him and your mind whirring in realization that he's still in control, still planning on seeing this through.
"Don't you get it, princess? This is your punishment. You wanted to wear that lingerie so badly tonight, well now you get to. I'll touch you as much as I can, but it's not my fault it doesn't feel as good," he chides, and you groan in response, a part of you wanting to whip your hands out and pounce on him, forcing him to fuck you well and good. "What, does that sound so bad? I'm still touching you, you know," he continues, making you squeeze your eyes shut as you try not to whimper or groan again. You guess he's just teasing you with the way he's stroking himself, showing you just what your missing, and you know you'll have to hold out a long time to get the reward you're really after. You inhale deeply and steady yourself, closing your eyes and surrounding to the weak feelings on your clit, letting the feeling of being taken over envelop you.
It feels good for a little while, now knowing this is your punishment, knowing that he's teasing you and making you wait. You can do that, you know you can, and frankly, compared to the other things you thought he might have in mind, this wasn't so bad. You opened your eyes to watch him again, his beautiful hand stroking his length hard and fast, and you swear his cock is on the brink of spilling everywhere, given just how flushed and hard it looks. It's intoxicating to watch; you wish it was in your mouth, your cunt, anywhere but two feet away and in Yunho's hand, and you feel yourself salivating at the sight.
"You wish that was inside you, don't you?" he teases, a chuckle leaving his lips at the way you don't even answer him, your body forced to swallow the large amount of spit that gathered in your mouth at your stared at him, agape. You're in shock at how long this is taking, you swear it's been more than ten minutes at this point, and your pussy is suddenly throbbing so hard that you're not able to think of anything else.
"Sir, please, don't make me wait any longer," you cry, the tears forming in your eyes now, and you stare up at him pathetically, your breathing shaky.
"What makes you think you deserve that?" he snaps, rubbing himself even harder, so turned on at the way you're a bumbling mess in front of him.
"Please sir, I've waited- I've-" you can't even finish your sentence, a small sob escaping your lips instead.
"I thought you promised you wouldn't beg, slut," he spits, his hand on your cunt coming up to slap you across the face, a moan escaping your lips at the action. Momentarily your clit is alight in pleasure, the stinging pain radiating down your face and going straight to your core, making your muscles clench down on themselves. And again you're hoping this means he'll finally break, that he finally wants to manhandle you and fuck you hard, but instead you're shocked when you feel hot ropes of his cum covering your face, your chest, and even your stomach and thighs. You look up to see Yunho's blissed out face, as he strokes himself through the last of his orgasm, his face flushed and a sheen of sweat covering him entirely.
"Fuck, you look so fucking sexy when you beg like that," he sighs, collapsing down beside you but propping up his head so he can still catch a good look at the absolute mess he's made. You're staring at him with wide eyes, your cunt still throbbing with anticipation, your body wholly unsatisfied with everything that just went down.
"What, was that not fun for you?" he chuckles, and you know from the tone of his voice that your scene hasn't ended, that maybe this one will extend until tomorrow morning. You look down at your body, your beautiful pink lace lingerie covered in his cum, your legs twitching with the remnants of anticipation.
"You ruined it," you whine quietly, still not moving, just moping in place and trying to make him feel bad.
"Baby stop sulking, you know I'll buy you a new one. Now come on, let's get you cleaned up and ready for bed. You can move your hands now."
And in the morning he's still treating you the same, making you follow his commands, eating what he's prepared for breakfast and wearing the outfit he's set out for you. He kisses you goodbye, making you promise you'll be good at work today, before handing you the lunch and snacks he's packed you. And when you finally return in home in the late afternoon, your brain tired from a day of focused work, you see a familiar looking bag on your desk. Opening it you find the same set of lingerie, the pink edging catching on the light of your desk lamp, and you sigh into your chair, hoping that maybe tonight, he'll finally let you cum.

Wait neighbor Sukuna is cuteeeeee I need a story pleaseeee๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน
another neighbor!Sukuna drabble. your first unofficial date.
cw: fluff, single parent reader, Sukuna is a good neighbor but a bad dude
The first time that Sukuna took you out happened on accident.
He'd been keeping track of your comings and goings so he could start being in the hallway at the same time as you to give a casual hello. His favorite times were when you had time to just chat without you needing to rush off to work or to daycare or one of the many activities you always were taking your daughter to.
It was a Saturday morning and Sukuna's ears perked up when he heard you talking to your daughter down the hallway. You couldn't clearly hear what you were saying but the tone seemed soothing and he thought he could even make out some sniffling from your daughter, unusual since she was usually so cheerful.
Sukuna grabbed his mailbox key so he had a purpose for stepping outside and slipped some shoes on before going into the hallway.
"Morning, neighbor," you managed cheerfully and Sukuna looked down to see that your daughter had tears on her face. The sight had his hackles up immediately.
"Are you all okay?" He tried to sound nonchalant and he wondered if it worked as you wiped away some of your daughter's tears.
"We're okay, it's just," you paused here and looked at your daughter. "Her dad was going to take her to the aquarium but something came up and he's not going to make it. I know he's really disappointed he can't go." The touch of anger in your eyes made him think that this was you just trying to make your daughter feel better.
Sukuna had been planning to wait a little longer, to build more of a rapport with you before trying anything, but he couldn't just see you or your kid look like this over some loser who couldn't be a real man for his family.
"Well I don't see why that means we can't go to the aquarium," he said and he finally got the kid to stop crying for a second and look up at him.
"We don't have a car and it's over two hours by subway," you said reluctantly and Sukuna couldn't contain his sly grin.
"I have a car, and I wouldn't mind taking you. If that's okay with you, of course."
"Yes, yes, yes, can we go mommy, please?" Sukuna had never heard your toddler say so much before and you bit your lip before looking back at him. Sukuna could barely keep his eyes off your mouth but he knew if he looked he'd kiss you and this wasn't the place for it.
"Are you sure?"
"I wouldn't have offered if I didn't want to do it, sweetheart." You blushed a little at that and looked down at your daughter.
"Alright bug, we can go. But make sure you tell Mr. Ryomen thank you."
"Thank you, Mr. Ryomen," your daughter echoed dutifully and he knelt down to ruffle her hair.
"No need to thank me, and I told you, you can both just call me Sukuna."
"Thank you, Sukuna." Sukuna really wanted to kiss you. But he knew that if he did it now it would ruin this perfect chance for you to see what he could be for you, for both of you.
You bring out a car seat that you have in your apartment and you show Sukuna how to install it. Sukuna pays attention because he plans on going on many more trips with the two of you. Maybe the car seat can even just stay here(not yet, not yet, not yet he keeps telling himself).
He encourages you to choose the radio station you listen to on the way over and you choose a throwback station that has you and the kid singing along to. It's nice and warm and Sukuna knows every person he's ever met would be baffled at the scene but it feels too fucking right to care.
He pays once you get there, waving off your protests and you spend all day looking at the exhibits. When you get to the pool where you can pet the stingrays, he lifts your daughter up so she can reach them and shows her how to hold her fingers so the animals will come up to her. He can feel your gaze on him, but this isn't even just for you. The more time he spends with your daughter, the more he feels like she's supposed to be his too.
Finally though, the toddler being a toddler gets hangry and you all stop at the cafe for a light lunch. He watches as you try to persuade your daughter to have some fruit in addition to the cookie she has her eye on and Sukuna pops some of the grapes in his mouth with an exaggerated noise of pleasure, making mini-you copy him.
"Thanks," you tell him as you watch your daughter finish up her fruit. "It was one thing when it was just the vegetables she didn't like but now she's got beef with fruits and I'm worried she's going to end up with scurvy."
"No problem, happy to help." and the thing is, Sukuna is happy to help. He remains happy as you finish going through the aquarium. When your daughter gets too tired, he picks her up and carries her so you can make your way back to your car.
"All tired out, bug," you say, affectionately rubbing her back. He hoists her up higher on his hip as you enter the lobby when an older woman stops you.
"Such a beautiful family you have here," she says waving at the sleepy toddler on Sukuna's hip and he nods as you blush.
Neither of you speak about it, but he wonders if it's on your mind as much as his on your way back to your apartment building. He lets you say your goodbyes as the sleeping girl on your shoulder drools in her sleep.
When Sukuna enters his apartment he leans back against his door and just lets the warmth of the day wash over him. He had known before what he wanted, but now he felt almost desperate.
His days spent in this quiet apartment alone were numbered, and he was going to make sure you knew his intentions as soon as possible.
After all, he still had your car seat.

Can't Relate to Desperation
A/N: requested by anon โ€” i apologize for how long this took; this was fun to write
โ€” just a heads-up: this is preschool!Sukuna
โ€œโ€”I was wondering if you could help me with a little favor.โ€
โ€œSure, shoot.โ€ Your friend was surprised to see Sukuna โ€” out of all people โ€” approach them, but they didn't show it.
โ€œY/Nโ€™s birthday is pretty soon, and I donโ€™t have any ideas on what to get her.โ€ Sukuna had known you for a long while. But that didnโ€™t mean he knew what you wanted for a birthday present. I mean, he obviously knows your likes and dislikes. Your hobbies and pastimes. Your favorite colors, foods, drinks, movies, even. But none of those gave him an idea for a meaningful birthday present.
โ€œOhh, yeah. I'm getting her a matching pajama set! Because weโ€™re going to have a sleepover after her party.โ€
Sukuna mentally raised a brow at that, he thought you guys were already planning on having a sleepover. And he most definitely did not remember inviting anyone else to the sleepover.
โ€œI didn't ask.โ€ Sukuna wanted to get this questionnaire over with already, and go back to playing with you on the swings or something like that.
โ€œHey! Thatโ€™s not nice. Iโ€™ll tell the teacher.โ€
โ€œCan you help me or not?โ€
โ€œNo, because youโ€™re a meanie. And meanies donโ€™t deserve my help.โ€ Your friend crossed her arms and turned away from Sukuna, emitting a little โ€˜hmphโ€™ sound.
โ€œOkay, okay. I'm sorry. Can you just help me?โ€ He couldn't believe he just apologized to someone other than you.
โ€œFine,โ€ your friend huffed out, turning back around.
All the while, you watched this exchange happen from afar. Earlier, you were back in the classroom, digging through your backpack to find the necklace you had purchased with your early birthday money from your parents. You had planned to give it to Sukuna, but it currently looked like he had acquired another friend.
And, what made it even more disappointing was the fact you spent at least ten minutes looking for him. You waited outside the restrooms, searched the playground, dug through the sandpit โ€” in case he got buried, and even checked the cubbies. Then you took a lap outside, and found him talking to another girl, who happened to be your [second] best friend โ€” (Sukuna being the first).
The smile plastered across your face immediately dropped, and so did the necklace in your hands.
Itโ€™s not like Sukuna wasnโ€™t allowed to have other friends, itโ€™s the fact that he doesn't โ€” by choice, obviously โ€” except for you. And it's been that way, ever since you complimented his hair, saying, โ€œI love the pink! It is my favorite color,โ€ which was contrary to many of your other classmates. Most kids actually made fun of him for it, albeit Sukuna would always glare in their direction and the laughter and teasing would stop in an instant.
You couldn't believe your eyes. He usually ignored people who tried to talk to him and pushed aside those who wanted to make friends. So why was he suddenly talking to your friend? Was he trying to replace you? Did he get bored of you? Why were they talking in such a secluded area behind the garbage cans? Was he trying to hide all of this from you?
You wiped your soon watering eyes with your sleeve, grabbed the necklace off the ground, and quickly ran in the opposite direction.
Coincidentally, as soon as Sukuna got all the information he needed from your friend, he saw your figure turning around. Why were you here? He thought.
โ€œThanks.โ€ Sukuna ran away from your friend, and as soon as he caught up to you, he said, โ€œHey, where are you going?โ€
โ€œNowhere.โ€ You didn't turn around to face him, continuing to run away.
Sukuna came to a halt, staring at your back. What's your problem? Sukuna decided it was probably nothing, and that you just wanted some alone time, so he left you to your alone time and resorted to playing in the sandpit by himself. But it didn't feel the same as when you played with him. The sand was too warm, the sandcastle was off-center with the hills made of sand, the birdsโ€™ singing was too loud. Nothing was right.
You had to admit, avoiding Sukuna was like avoiding the sun. You could hide out under roofs and loiter inside the restrooms, but you had to get out eventually. And eventually you did; recess had ended and you had to get back to the classroom to continue your lessons. And who did you sit next to? Take a wild guess.
When you sat down in your seat, you scooted your chair as far as possible away from the boy beside you โ€” who stayed still, utterly confused at your actions, and wondering why the hell you were being this way.
Then, your class was assigned a group project. Sukuna turned to you, expecting the two of you to pair up, but to his surprise, you asked another classmate to pair up instead.
Okay, he thought. Maybe you just want to get social with other people; that's fine. That's normal.
What wasnโ€™t normal was the fact that you continued to blatantly ignore the pink-haired boy even at lunchtime.
Sukuna asked you his usual question, โ€œDo you want to share my juicebox?โ€ And, thank Heavens, you finally looked him in the eye. But then you flatly said, โ€œNo,โ€ before turning around and starting to eat your own lunch.
Sukuna frowned. โ€œWhatโ€™s your deal today? Are you allergic to apple juice now or something?โ€
โ€œNo.โ€ Going back to what you did earlier, you didn't face him this time, choosing to eat your sandwich in peace.
Usually, you gave him the crust of your sandwiches to eat, because you didnโ€™t like how they tasted, and he did, but you decided against that today. Which was a shame, Sukuna was looking forward to eating your sandwichโ€™s crust.
โ€œGeez, okay. Be that way, I guess.โ€ Sukuna stabbed the straw into his juicebox and drank. But like the sandpit, it just wasn't the same.
This continued all day. And I mean all day.
Sukuna was starting to get real upset. This frustrated him deeply. He swore that if you kept on avoiding him and running away every single time he tried to approach you, he was going to end up with white hairs at the age of four.
Did you not want to be his friend anymore? Did you finally grow to dislike his pink hair that you once loved so much? He hoped the answers to those questions were a definite โ€˜noโ€™.
He hoped the answer to those questions was a definite โ€˜noโ€™.
Finally defeated and having given up on his searching for you all over school, he walked to the playground, hoping that swinging would clear his head. And God, he was so thankful he did just that. Because upon entering the play area, he found you, already sitting on the swings and swinging sadly, by yourself. You were swinging sadly on the swings, yes, indeed you were.
It was quite an amusing sight, to anyone who didnโ€™t know the context. But Sukuna did, to an extent, at least. He knew you were upset, and that the likely cause was him. It was always him. Always. Good or bad, happy or sad, he was always the cause, for you. But you wouldnโ€™t have it any other way, right?
Your head was low, focused on staring at the ground beneath you as you swung back and forth. Sukuna thought you looked cute like that โ€” your braids dangling in front of your face, as you basked in the sunโ€™s rays.
But then Sukuna remembered the task at hand, and made sure to approach you with caution and much needed confidence [in himself].
When he got closer to you โ€” only a few feet apart โ€” he quickly realized why your head was so low when you raised it to look at him, tears in your doe, yet angelically pure eyes.
He cleared his throat. โ€œY/N. Whatโ€™s . . . wrong? Whatโ€™s upsetting you? . . .Is it me?โ€ He whispered the last part, to the point it was barely audible; but you heard him. You always did.
โ€œWhy donโ€™t you go and talk to your other new friend, huh?โ€ You spat out, stifling a hiccup as it came.
โ€œWaitโ€”what?โ€ Sukunaโ€™s eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
โ€œDonโ€™t play dumb. I know what you did. I know what youโ€™re doing. You can replace me with whoever you want, I donโ€™t care, not anymore. Now go away so I can play all by my lonesome.
โ€œY/N, Iโ€™m not replacing you. I know youโ€™re a dummy sometimes but. . . Whereโ€™d you even get such a ridiculous idea?โ€
โ€œOh, so Iโ€™m the dummy?โ€ you retaliated.
Then it hit him, you were referring to earlier this morning, when he was talking to your friend for advice on what to get you as a birthday present.
โ€œIโ€”youโ€™ve got it all wrong, Y/N. All wrong. I wasnโ€™t, Iโ€™m not, and I would never ever replace you. So get that stupid idea out of your head already. I was just asking her for help to . . . get you . . . something โ€” for your . . . birthday, thatโ€™s coming up soon.โ€ He didnโ€™t want to spoil the surprise, but if it would make you feel any better, he couldnโ€™t care less about keeping a silly little secret.
โ€œOh, Sukunaaa! You couldโ€™ve just asked me!โ€ You jumped off the swings, swiftly wiping your teary eyes dry, and tackled Sukuna into a hug. The two of you fell into a giggling mess of tangled limbs on the ground.
And to your surprise, the following week, Sukuna gifted you a necklace at your birthday party. It was a cheap, dainty necklace, that much was obvious. But opening the heart charm revealed a poorly taken, bad quality, photo of you and Sukuna both. You two were smiling like idiots, embraced in a hug, and you recognized the picture to date back to when you visited Sukuna at one of his basketball games. The first game of his that you went to, actually.
The cherry on top was the fact that the necklace he got you was the same necklace you were planning on giving him before you saw him talking to your friend last week.
But, ah, it was whatever. You wouldnโ€™t have it any other way.

thoughts on angel's heartbreak
viv has already said that angel is gonna get his heart broken sooo
i imagine husk pushes a boundary. we've already seen husk push angel's limits quite a few times. he's obviously really judgmental and i think that's one of his biggest flaws. it almost seems like a defense mechanism, that because he's already given up on himself, he doesn't want to waste angel's potential and so he's harder on him.
we've got tons of examples of this in masquerade, with husk calling him fake. and even in welcome to heaven when angel is considering taking drugs, husk totally plays a guilt trip - "go ahead if you wanna mess up all your progress, i just thought you were better than that"
i think that's how the 'heartbreak' is gonna happen. angel can't believe he's got a someone like husk in his life and he's so smitten, coming to terms with his feelings for husk and tentatively getting hopeful that they're reciprocated. like husk has built him up enough to the point that angel feels he can break down his walls around him, so they're getting closer, more flirtatious in a really sweet way, sometimes even a little touchy.
so imagine them being at this stage, where angel so fully trusts him, which is a big deal for him. and then angel fucks up real bad. he's been clean for almost 6 months and him and everyone else in the hotel are super proud. but after a hard day in the studio he just breaks and goes on an all night bender. like he's out so late husk starts to worry and texts him, but all he gets is a belligerent phone call like "huskYYY BAaaby don' worry i'm jus' out w the girls from the studio u should be here miss yoo-" and then some guy cuts in like "angelbaby, i thought you were gonna show me a good time?" and angel's like "mmm oh ya cmere daddy~" and the call cuts off.
husk is fuckin pissed, not just bc angel is off the wagon after making so much progress, but he's also jealous. like they were obviously heading in the direction of something more, or so he thought, but here's angel back to his old self-destructive habits, getting fucked up and fucking random guys.
the next day, husk finds angel passed out on the on the couch. usually he would wake him up with breakfast or coffee if he knew he'd had a long night at the studio, but this time he just rolls his eyes and gets to work on the bar, maybe stuffing glasses back into cabinets a little louder than usual.
that wakes angel up and he's like, "huuusk what the fuck couldya keep it down?"
"it's almost noon. don't you have something to do? or someone..." he mumbles the last part, but angel hears and is wide awake like, "fuckin' excuse me?"
"what? you don't remember callin' me last night? sounded like you scored a real charmer"
angel is stalking up to the bar getting embarrassed and defensive, "wtf? since when do you care who i'm fuckin' in my free time?"
"i guess since it obviously wasn't a choice you made entirely sober! what were you thinking?! you were clean 6 whole months, and you gave it up to what? snort coke off of some hunk's abs?!"
angel's mouth drops open and he doesn't know what to say but his heart stings. he knows he fucked up real bad, but it was a hard day and he guesses old habits die hard... it's his first real attempt at getting clean, and of course he's disappointed in himself. and honestly, he was planning on talking through it with husk, but now...
"well that is just rich coming from you," angel says, shaking, rolling his eyes in the direction of husk's bloody mary.
"yeah, well, i'm not the one trying to get into heaven-"
"fuck off with that shit husk! you don't think i know i fucked up?! i'm not an idiot! you don't gotta keep that line in your back pocket for every time i screw up! i already know it's fuckin' pointless, you don't need to keep reminding me, asshole, get over yourself!" and he starts storming off upstairs, eyes welling up.
husk does feel guilty, and wants to continue the conversation, but he's still firmly of the belief that if angel just pulls himself together, he's a shoo-in for redemption and it's frustrating to see him self-destruct after making more progress than ever before.
"angel, wait-"
"NO, fuck you husk!" angel turns around, tears streaming down his face, pointing an accusing finger. "i thought if anyone could understand, it'd be you! i know everyone else is gonna be disappointed in me, but you-" he pauses, gulps down his tears and steels his face, "i guess i don't know you as well as i thought i did" and then storms upstairs.
then angel would have a few consecutive weeks of totally self-destructive behavior on a whole new level than anyone else at the hotel had ever seen. maybe he even moves out of the hotel and back in with val, having given up not only on himself and his grand delusions of getting clean and redeemed, but also his "stupid school-girl crush" on husk.
this turned into something way longer than i intended lol, but my point is that since angel is gonna experience heartbreak we know it has to involve husk, and with husk's habit of guilt-tripping angel... i think it will need to blow up at some point and be seriously discussed.
i also think we need to see the 'it gets worse before it gets better' side of recovery bc obviously it's unrealistic that now that angel is a serious resident of the hotel, his addictions are just gonna magically disappear. and i think that's gonna cause some misunderstanding and turmoil with not only husk, but also our main cast.

summary - youโ€™re stressed out about trentโ€™s birthday, because what on earth do you get a man who already has everything?
Tumblr media
it's not like you can just roll up with a box of chocolates and call it a day. this man's used to the best of the best, and while he's never made you feel like you weren't enough or didn't fit into his world, the reality is you're still a varsity student, still trying to stretch your monthly budget to cover textbooks, takeout, and the occasional night out with your girls.
and trent? well, trent can have anything he wants, whenever he wants. you've watched him casually browse designer websites like he's scrolling through twitter, picking out shoes that cost more than your rent with a kind of nonchalance that makes your head spin.
so, no, a simple birthday card from the campus bookstore isn't going to cut it. this is your first birthday together as a couple โ€” you've got to make it special.
but how?
like, you've been lying in bed for hours now, phone in hand, scrolling aimlessly through shopping websites, pinterest, and even resorting to typing "what to get your rich boyfriend for his birthday" into google. nothing is helping. in fact, everything's making it worse. because even though you've got a list of ideas in your notes app, none of them seem to match up to the weight of what you feel this gift should be.
"babe, you don't have to go all out," trent had said during a conversation you had with him earlier in the week, flashing you that pretty smile that somehow makes everything feel like it'll be fine. "whatever you get me, i'm gonna love it. i'm just happy to spend the day with you."
but that's the thing, though. you want to go all out. he deserves it. even if he's not asking for it, you know he would never say anything if you just showed up with something basicโ€”but it would eat away at you. you'd remember it every year.
so, yeah, no pressure or anything. just your sanity slowly slipping away as the days inch closer to his birthday and you still have no clue what to do.
your friends have been no help either. a bunch of suggestions that are either way too expensive or feel way too impersonal. "just get him something sentimental," one of them had said, but you're not even sure what counts as sentimental when you've only been dating for a few months.
like, are you supposed to pull some dramatic pinterest diy project out of nowhere? is that your lane now? because you're not crafty. you're not about to break out the arts and crafts just to end up frustrated and glue-stained.
you're definitely overthinking this, and you know it, but you can't stop. you keep picturing the day itself. like, what if you get him something and he likes it but doesn't love it? what if he's too polite to say it but deep down, he's thinking, "wow, she really couldn't put more effort into this?"
it doesn't help that every time you bring up his birthday, trent just brushes it off like it's no big deal. "it's just another day," he says, shrugging, but you know it's more than that. his birthday is a big deal to you because he's a big deal to you.
you can't let this flop.
days are passing by faster than you'd like, and you still haven't made any progress. now it's the weekend before his birthday, and you're sitting on the floor of your apartment, surrounded by discarded ideas. you've gone from designer cologne (too basic) to a surprise trip (too expensive) to planning a cute dinner night in (too... ordinary?).
it's gotten to the point where you're spiralling. full-on stress mode. you're overthinking everything, imagining how disappointed he might be, how awkward the whole thing could feel, and for what? he hasn't said anything that makes you think he's expecting something grand, but it's like your brain is running on a loop, replaying worst-case scenarios.
you're deep in your thoughts when your phone buzzes. it's trent. a simple text.
trent: wanna come over?
you sigh, conflicted. on one hand, you'd love to see him and spend the day wrapped up in each other like you usually do, but on the other hand, you feel like you should be using every spare second to figure this gift thing out. but it's trent, and maybe seeing him will take your mind off the stress for a bit. so, you grab your keys and head out.
when you get to his place, trent's already waiting for you at the door, looking casual as ever in sweats and a hoodie. he greets you with a grin that immediately makes some of the tension in your shoulders ease up. you can't help but smile back, even though the stress is still simmering in the back of your mind.
he pulls you into a hug, kissing the top of your head as he mumbles, "missed you."
"you saw me yesterday," you laugh softly, burying your face in his chest, inhaling the scent of his cologne. it's the same cologne you thought about getting him for his birthday, but now that you're here with him, it feels too safe, too... expected.
"still missed you," he murmurs, pulling back slightly to look at you. "you okay?"
God, how does he always know?
"yeah," you lie, but it's not convincing. trent raises an eyebrow, clearly not buying it, but he doesn't press. instead, he just leads you inside, hand slipping into yours like it always does.
you spend the afternoon curled up on the couch, watching some random show neither of you are really paying attention to. trent's arm is draped over your shoulders, his fingers occasionally brushing against your arm, but your mind keeps drifting. keeps thinking about the damn gift.
it's not until he asks, "you sure you're alright?" that you realise you've been quiet for too long.
you glance up at him, debating whether or not to just tell him. you don't want to admit how stressed you've been about something that probably seems insignificant to him. but trent's looking at you with that soft, patient expression, and before you know it, the words are tumbling out.
"it's just... your birthday," you mumble, picking at the hem of your shirt, avoiding his gaze. "i wanna get you something special, but i don't know what to get you. you have everything already."
there's a pause, and for a moment, you worry you've said too much. but then you hear him laugh. not in a mean way, but in that gentle, amused way he does when you've overcomplicated something in your head.
"babe," he says softly, cupping your chin and turning your face so you're looking at him. "you don't have to stress over that. i don't need anything fancy or expensive. i just wanna spend time with you."
you feel your chest tighten a little because, logically, you know he's right. but still... it's his first birthday with you. it feels like it should be more.
"i know," you mumble, eyes flicking away from his. "but i just want it to be perfect."
"it will be," he promises, leaning down to steal a kiss. "because you'll be there."
and maybe that's all that matters, but still...
โ€”
the next couple of days are a blur.
classes, assignments, and late-night scrolling sessions trying to figure out the perfect present. you've moved past the point of practicality. now, you're grasping at straws. googling things like "unique gifts for the man who has everything" and getting absolutely nowhere. your notes app is full of crossed-out ideas, your stress level rising with each passing day.
by the time thursday rolls around, you're a full-on wreck. trent's birthday is next monday, and the thought of showing up with something underwhelmingโ€”or worse, empty-handedโ€”has you on edge. you've always been the type to put pressure on yourself, to want everything to be just right, especially when it comes to people you care about. and trent? well, trent's at the top of that list now, no question.
it randomly hits you at 2:19 in the morning, that spark of inspiration you were so desperate for, the puzzle pieces of your chaotic brain finally starting to click into place. and as you brush your teeth before class a few hours later, you replay the idea in your mind.
you obviously still need to work out the details, but at least you have direction now. no more over-the-top ideas. nothing that screams, "i tried too hard." instead, you're going for something more personal, something that shows trent how much you've been paying attention to the small things.
because, really, that's what this relationship has been about for youโ€”finding beauty in the details. sure, trent's life is loud and flashy, but what you've learned in the past few months is that it's the quiet moments, the ones where it's just the two of you, that really matter.
like the nights where you read him your biochem thesis because you want a second opinion (and, bless him, he never understands a thing). or the mornings where you wake up tangled in his sheets, 15 minutes late for whatever morning class you have. or the late-night talks where he opens up in ways you know he doesn't do with most people.
that's what you want to capture. that's what his birthday should reflect.
the rest of the week passes in a blur, a whirlwind of classes, your part-time job, and late-night planning sessions. every free moment you get, you're jotting down notes, sketching ideas, making phone calls, and somehow managing to keep all of this hidden from trent. it's not easyโ€”he's nosy as hell, always asking what you're up to, but you've gotten good at playing it off, keeping him in the dark just enough to maintain the element of surprise.
you've already set everything in motion. well, mostly. there are still a few loose ends to tie up, but it's all coming together in a way that feels right.
on the morning of his birthday, you both settle on a time that worksโ€”right after your last class and after he's done with training. by the time he gets to your place that evening, you're all giddy, eyes beaming as you open the door for him.
and he's instantly on you, arms smoothly slipping around your waist, pulling you to him just as you close the door. he leans down, pressing his lips to your exposed shoulder โ€” gentle, lingering kisses, his breath warm against your skin. "hi, baby."
"trent..." you murmur, trying to sound disapproving because you can almost guess where this is going, but failing miserably. it comes out softer than you intended, more like an invitation than a scolding.
he hums against your skin, his lips brushing the curve of your neck now, his hands tightening just a bit on your waist, pressing your back to his front. "hmm?"
his lips move to your jawline next, and you reach back with one hand, tangling your fingers in the soft curls at the nape of his neck, pulling him closer. he takes the hint, pressing more kisses along the side of your face now, trailing up to your temple, your cheek, the corner of your mouth.
"so pretty," trent turns you around slowly, his hands still on your waist, guiding you until you're facing him. his eyes are dark, a little playful, but there's something else there tooโ€”something softer, deeper.
you barely have time to register that look before his lips are on yours, soft and sweet. it's not hurried or frantic, but there's an urgency to it, and you kiss him back just as passionately, your hands clutching his shirt, your body leaning into his. it's instinctual now, the way your whole being responds to him.
when you finally pull back, both of you breathing a little heavier, trent rests his forehead against yours, his eyes fluttering closed for a moment. there's a lazy smile on his lips, the kind that makes your heart do a little flip in your chest.
"wait, you're distracting me," you laugh quietly, your fingers tracing the outline of his jaw. "i have a surprise for you."
he smiles, his lips brushing against your forehead now. "yeah?"
you nod, grinning as you lead him over to the living room, where you've set everything up. on the coffee table, there's a small collection of items: a few handwritten letters, a disposable camera, and a small, leather-bound journal.
trent raises an eyebrow, glancing between you and the table, clearly intrigued but not sure what to expect.
"so, i know you don't need anything," you start, your voice suddenly a little shaky as you sit down beside him. "and i didn't wanna get you something you could just buy yourself. so... i thought about what would mean the most to you. and, well... this is what i came up with."
you hand him the journal first, feeling a knot of nerves tighten in your stomach as he unties the string and carefully opens it.
the pages are filled with handwritten notes, photos, and little mementos from your time together so far. it's not just a scrapbook or a diary; it's a love letter. every page is a piece of your relationship โ€” the silly inside jokes, the photos of the two of you at your favourite cafรฉ, the pressed flowers from the first bouquet he ever gave you, the ticket stubs from the movie you saw on your second date. it's a collection of memories, a reminder of how far you've come in such a short time.
it's quiet for a while, the only sound being the soft rustle of paper as he turns the pages. you watch him carefully, trying to gauge his reaction, but his face is unreadable.
finally, he reaches the last pageโ€”a note you wrote, a few simple words; happy birthday, trent. thank you for being you. thank you for seeing me. i love you.
he's quiet for a moment, his eyes scanning the words, thumb tracing over the ink. when he finally looks up, there's this... softness in his eyes, a depth of emotion you don't always see from him.
"this is perfect," he sets the journal aside and pulls you into his arms, pressing a kiss to your temple. "thank you, baby."
you feel a wave of relief wash over you, but you're not done yet. next, you hand him the disposable camera.
"i know you're used to having a million pictures taken of you all the time, but... i thought it might be nice to have something just for us. we can take pictures whenever, wherever. and at the end of the roll, we'll get them developed and see what moments we've captured."
trent turns the camera over in his hands, a warm, appreciative smile gracing his lips. "this is... yeah, this is really thoughtful. i didn't expect this."
and finally, you hand him the letters. "these are from the people closest to you. i asked them to write you something personal, something that shows how much you mean to them."
he looks up at you, his eyes soft, a mix of gratitude and something deeper reflecting in them. "you really went all out for this, didn't you?"
you shrug, feeling a little shy now that everything's out in the open. "i just wanted you to feel appreciated. i didn't want to get you something that didn't mean anything."
trent's quiet for a moment, just looking at you, and then he sets everything aside and pulls you into his arms, holding you close.
"you're amazing," he says, his voice all soft and thick with emotion. "seriously. this is the best gift i've ever had."
you feel the tension drain from your body as you bury your face in his chest, a smile spreading across your lips because, yeah. all the stress, all the overthinking, it was worth it.
"i love you," trent pulls back slightly, his hand cupping your cheek as he looks down at you. "more than i even know how to say."
your heart stutters at that. you've both danced around the words for a while now, neither of you wanting to rush into saying them, but hearing him say it now, in this moment, feels right.
"i love you too," you whisper, your fingers tangling in the fabric of his shirt as you pull him closer, your lips meeting in a soft, lingering kiss.
when you finally pull away, he rests his forehead against yours again, his hand sliding down to rest on your hip. "best birthday i've had," he murmurs, his lips brushing against your cheek, and you laugh softly, your heart full.
"i'm glad," you say, smiling as you snuggle closer to him, his arms wrapping around you like a safety net. "but it's not over yet."
he raises an eyebrow, intrigued. "oh? what else do you have planned?"
you grin, leaning back just enough to meet his gaze. "i figured we'd spend the rest of the night doing... whatever you want."
trent chuckles, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "whatever i want, huh?"
"yep," you nod, biting your lip to keep from smiling too wide. "you're the birthday boy, after all."
"careful," he leans in, his lips brushing against your ear as he whispers, "i might hold you to that."
and he does hold you to it.
all night long.
