My God, your writings are wonderful, the way you express yourself in letters should be rewarded with an award
I'm so excited about pregnancy writing. Is there a way to know how Sevika would behave with an injured reader when she is pregnant or when she gives birth to her baby? I thank heaven that put you on my profile, I read this every night before going to sleep (don't judge me for being so weird  ̄(=∵=) ̄ )
✞⛧ Sevika with a pregnant girl ✞⛧
An: girl I understand (me too fr- I love writing stuff like this)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
✞⛧ Sevika is protective as hell, always on guard when you’re around. The idea of you carrying her child brings out a deeper, fiercer side to her.
✞⛧ She’s not great at expressing her feelings verbally but shows her care through actions. For example, when you’re pregnant, she’ll make sure you’re never doing too much, offering to handle any physical tasks.
✞⛧ If you get hurt while pregnant, she’s livid. She’ll immediately jump into action, her protective instincts taking over. Sevika is usually stoic, but if you’re hurt in any way, you’ll see a more vulnerable side of her—concern, anger, fear.
✞⛧ In those moments, Sevika’s eyes will burn with anger, and she’ll make sure to stay by your side until you’re safe and sound. If it’s a more serious injury, she’ll insist on taking care of you herself, even if it means staying up all night.
✞⛧ She’ll be hovering around you during labor, but in her own way—staying close but not overly dramatic. Sevika has a quiet intensity, trying to stay strong for you while she watches you go through something as intense as childbirth
✞⛧ During labor, Sevika has a firm hand on your back, rubbing circles to calm you down, though she’s visibly on edge. She might not say much, but her presence is comforting in a way you can’t quite put into words.
✞⛧ She’s not one for saying sweet things, but you can tell she’s paying attention to every little thing, from your breathing to how you’re holding up.
✞⛧ Her reaction when the baby is born is nothing short of awe. She’s trying to be tough about it, but there’s no hiding how she’s completely taken by this tiny human you both made.
✞⛧ Sevika’s hand is right there when the baby is handed to you, and the way she looks at the two of you—her child, her family—tells you everything you need to know about how much she cares.
✞⛧ After the baby is born, Sevika is surprisingly tender with the little one. She may not be the most openly affectionate person, but with her child, it’s different. You’ll see her carefully hold the baby, as though she’s learning how to be gentle.
✞⛧ She takes on a lot of the heavier work at home, but always with the unspoken promise to keep you both safe and well. She might do things like bring you food or clean the house without you asking, all because she knows you’re doing the most important work: nurturing.
✞⛧ She’s not exactly cuddly, but when the baby’s in your arms, Sevika will give you both soft looks from across the room. Her love for the two of you is clear in her eyes, even if her expression is more reserved than anything.
✞⛧ If the baby cries, Sevika’s instinct is to quickly check and see what’s wrong, almost like she’s scanning the room for danger. She can be a bit paranoid about protecting the baby but has the best of intentions.
✞⛧ Sevika will fight anyone who tries to harm you or your baby, no question. If anyone dares to cross her or her family, they’ll regret it immediately.
✞⛧ When you’re up late with the baby, Sevika will always offer to take the night shift. She knows how hard it is, and though she’s not the best with soothing techniques, her strong, steady presence gives you some peace.
✞⛧ As the baby grows, Sevika will be the kind of mom who’s constantly teaching them, showing them how to be tough, resilient, and smart.
✞⛧ She’ll teach them about the world in a way that’s practical—how to defend themselves, how to survive in a harsh world—but also instill in them a deep sense of loyalty and respect for others.
✞⛧ When the baby takes their first steps, Sevika will act like it’s no big deal, but her eyes will soften just a little. It’s one of those small moments where her pride in her child shows through.
✞⛧ She might not say it often, but you’ll hear her whisper “I love you” to the baby when she thinks you’re not paying attention. It’s a rare moment of softness that she keeps for her family.
✞⛧ She’ll always be the one to ensure that both you and the baby are physically protected. When people in Piltover or Zaun look at you with a hint of judgment, Sevika doesn’t flinch. She gives a glare that makes them think twice.
✞⛧ She’s a very practical mother, not one for over-the-top displays of affection, but the way she looks after the baby shows how deeply she cares.
✞⛧ When the baby gets older, Sevika is there for every milestone, though she might play it off like it’s no big deal. But you’ll catch that proud look she gives when the baby shows their first sign of strength.
✞⛧ Sevika will be the first one to defend the baby’s honor—if someone tries to mess with them, Sevika will be the one to step in and put them in their place.
✞⛧ When you’re resting, Sevika is right there beside you, making sure the baby is fed, happy, and safe while you get the rest you need.
✞⛧ She’s surprisingly sentimental about keepsakes—if you manage to get her to keep something like a baby blanket or a little toy, it’s something she holds onto tightly, even when the baby’s grown.
✞⛧ Despite being a hardened individual, when Sevika sees her child laugh, she can’t help but soften. That sound fills her with something she’s not used to—complete, overwhelming love.
✞⛧ In her quiet moments, you’ll sometimes catch her staring at the baby with that same sense of awe she had when they were born.
✞⛧ Sevika is a fierce protector, but she’s also a caring and capable mother who does her best to provide stability and strength for her family.
✞⛧ She’ll stay up late with the baby, rocking them to sleep in her arms, her stern demeanor softening in the quiet of the night.
✞⛧ Sevika will protect you both fiercely and provide for you, though you’ll often need to coax her into being a little more affectionate. She’s still getting used to showing that side of herself, but for you and the baby, she’ll always go to any length.

Pull This Move
0.8k+ words of chaotic Tim Bradford fluff
A/N: Have you guys seen the "when he's copying your snaps so you pull this move" thing? I saw a drawing of it with the Batboys and then this happened.
“Tim never keeps his ringer on,” Lucy muses after your phone buzzes again. “Is that a cop-to-cop thing?”
“Yeah, some people have problems with it, others don’t mind,” you explain. “I usually have mine silenced, I just forgot.”
“Do you know why Tim is off today?”
“Just needed a break,” you explain. “Have to have to a balance in a job like this.”
“And Snapchat gives you that balance?” Lucy teases as your phone chimes with an incoming photo. 
“If it’s from who I think it is, maybe,” you answer cryptically. 
“Who do you think it is?!” she inquires loudly. 
“Hold that thought, we’ve got a reckless driver ahead.”
During your lunch break, you open the new Snapchat and roll your eyes. 
“So,” Lucy says as she sits beside you. “Who is it? New boyfriend? Potential boyfriend?”
“Let’s go with really good friend,” you reply. “Who doesn’t know how to use the app and just copies my snaps.”
“Cute!!”
You hum, then think of the snap you wish to get. So, you open the app and move the phone to one side to capture your flexed bicep. Lucy gasps as you lock the screen, and you furrow your brows at her. 
“What?” you ask. 
“It is a guy! Why else would you flex to have them copy it? Tell me everything!”
“New rule, when I’m substituting as your TO, you have to talk to me like Tim.”
Lucy sighs and raises her hands in surrender when your phone chimes again. Yet, after you unlock it, she snatches your phone out of your hand. 
“Lucy!” you yell as she stands. “No, stop- listen. I will blue page you, Chen!”
Lucy freezes. Half-standing with your arm extended over the table, you exhale. 
“Give it back and I’ll- I’ll let you see the picture. That’s it, and you have to learn to respect boundaries.”
“Will you tell Tim?” she asks, blocking your phone with her free hand. 
“Not if you listen.”
Lucy nods and passes your phone back with a quiet apology. You sit, and Lucy pulls her chair beside yours. You click the red square in the app and lift a brow appreciatively at the muscled arm on the screen. There is a familiar gray shirt stretched tightly around the flexed bicep, and you hold the screen for several seconds to prolong your enjoyment of the picture. 
“There,” you say, shifting your hips to slide your phone into your pocket. “Happy, Chen?”
Lucy doesn’t answer, and you turn toward her. Her jaw drops as she stares at you. 
“What?”
“Was that Tim?” she asks. 
“Why would you think that?” you say rather than answering. 
“He wears a lot of gray shirts, and you… I don’t know how to say this without getting in trouble again.”
You cross your arms below your powered-off body cam and lean back in your seat. “Speak freely, Lucy.”
“Everyone knows you have a crush on him,” she blurts out. 
“So, a gray shirt and a workplace crush lead you to believe that Tim - officer stoic and serious - would send me a Snapchat?” you challenge. 
“Well when you put it like that,” Lucy mumbles, “it sounds ridiculous.”
“I’ll give you something if you give me something,” you offer. “I need some dirt on Lopez. Help me get that, and I’ll tell you something.”
“Done,” Lucy agrees. Then, she asks, “Wait, why? What’d she do?”
“No questions. Agree or don’t,” you reply. Lucy nods, and you say, “I’m going on a date with the guy in the picture tonight. We’ve been dating for a while.”
“Will you tell me more later? If things work out and I get something on Angela?”
You stand to return to the shop and say, “We’ll see.”
Walking into your house after your shift ends, you sigh. 
“Did you actually help my boot today or just send Snapchats?” someone asks from the kitchen.
Laughing, you enter the room and lean your forehead between your boyfriend’s shoulder blades. 
“Lucy saw the picture,” you say. “It was a really good picture, though.”
“How?” he asks, holding your arm as he turns toward you. 
“She wouldn’t leave me alone. I didn’t tell her much, and she’s helping with our Angela problem.”
“Your Angela problem,” Tim corrects. 
“Which will become our Angela problem when she finds out that my fiancé and my least favorite sergeant are the same man,” you point out. 
“Shouldn’t have told her you were engaged.”
“I didn’t!” 
Tim chuckles, so you sigh and fall against his chest. 
“It’ll be fine,” he assures you. 
“As long as you keep showing those Bradford biceps,” you grumble against his chest. 
“Hey,” Tim begins carefully. 
You pull back and narrow your eyes at him. 
“If Angela already has an idea, and Wade knows… maybe we should ask them to help,” he suggests. 
“You want Wade and Angela to be our witnesses?” you clarify. After a moment, you concede, “It could work. She’d keep it a secret if we let her come to the wedding.”
“Not what most people think about when they’re wedding planning.”
You smile and kiss Tim, thankful that your relationship is anything but average. Most people don’t have Tim Bradford going down the aisle with them, you think.

okkkayy, what if jake got his gf pregnant before marriage what would his mom’s reaction be + other big deal members 😶😶?? (love your fics btww!!!)
ACCIDENTAL PREGNANCY 😧 ╏ jake kim
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
a/n: unserious. and thanks anon!
Tumblr media
you always use protection. plus, the pill is 99% effective at preventing this. and yet...
"...i'm pregnant"
★ jake stands there with a stupid look on his face because he's stupid.
★ to be honest, he doesn't want to bring a child into the world when he's leading big deal. jake wants to retire before even thinking about it. he loves you, but this isn't something he planned for.
★ has a serious discussion about the risks, making sure you understand the weight of the situation. still, he knows it's your choice in the end. once it's clear you want to keep the baby, jake respects your decision. he's the type to step up no matter what.
★ watches parenting videos at night while rubbing his temples.
★ tells minseon first 😬 this is the part that scares him the most.
★ his mom: pissed as hell 🤣
★ the second jake tells her, she puts out her cigarette with tight lips. he's already sweating.
"jake kim" "...yes, mother?" "are you telling me you got a girl pregnant before putting a ring on her finger?" "t-the thing is..." "like father, like son"
★ she’d ask all the hard questions: how are you going to raise a baby in this life? do you think this is fair to the child? are you ready for this kind of responsibility?
★ anddd i have a feeling that if you're from a 'normal' family, she'd have more reservations. not that minseon is classist, but y'know...
★ jake explains that you always did it safely, so the pregnancy wasn't from recklessness. he's aware of the risks, but it's your decision to keep the baby. he wants to step up and support you.
★ ...that does get her eyes to soften.
"well...in any case, i know you'll do a better job than your own father"
★ i think in canon right now, jake and his mother have a strained relationship. as far as we know, he only visits minseon when he needs something! 😅 + she resents that he supposedly hates his father...yet became a gangster like him and left her on her own...just like gapryong.
★ but minseon also knows that jake didn't inherit his womanizing side. she knows that he'll be a great father, even if he doesn't think so.
★ she may be tough, but deep down, she’s happy about a grandchild...even subtly offers to mind the baby if jake is too busy and you need a break.
★ she ends up cooking for you. the baby needs to be healthy.
now...he needs to tell big deal...
★ sinu would be so happy for jake. he cares about him like a younger brother, so once the initial shock settles, he’d smile and congratulate him properly.
but then it would hit him.
jake, who never seemed to care about relationships in the first place, is having a kid before him.
"god...yeonhui is gonna have a field day with this. you better start saving man. kids are expensive"
★ would yeonhui scare him as a joke? absolutely.
"sinu, what if i accidentally got pregnant? would you step up like jake?" "h-hold on..."
★ you already know jerry would do the absolute most 😭
★ immediately places a loyalty hand on jake's shoulder.
"boss…you’re going to be a father?" his voice is trembling, like jake just told him he's DYING. "i will lay down my life for this child. it is my duty as number 2" "jerry...i didn't even ask you to- are you crying?"
★ jerry starts researching baby vitamins + recommending parenting books. already thinking about making the child wear a tiny big deal jacket.
★ jason and brad feel like the same characters to me. i'm sorry. i guess jason is portrayed as more blunt and serious?
"jake...don't take this the wrong way, but i don't think you know anything about babies" "you don't think i know that, jason?"
★ the girls knit a baby blanket together :') and make one of those "we're so excited to meet you" videos.
★ jake would not half ass being a dad. he’d try his hardest to balance big deal and fatherhood, even though it won’t be easy. but the baby will be loved. from the parents, the girls and big deal.
bonus!
lineman leans back in his chair, surveying the small pile of cash on the table. "alright, i’m locking in my bet — it’s a boy"
lua scoffs. "nah, you’re wrong. it’s definitely a girl. and she’s gonna have him wrapped around her finger before she can talk"
lineman shakes his head. "a girl? we’d have to protect her from all the freaks in this city. a boy would be easier"
"a boy would be just as much trouble!" she rolls her eyes. "but imagine boss jake with a daughter. he’d be like, the ultimate girl dad"
"tch, we’ll see about that. alright, bets are at 50/50. let's see if anyone else wants to-"
"...guys" an all too familiar voice booms behind them.
lineman and lua turn to look at jerry like children caught with the cookie jar.
"you’re betting on boss jake’s child? his future offspring?" he shakes his head in disappointment. "this is incredibly inappropriate"
lineman and lua exchange a guilty glance.
lua has the courage to speak. "i mean…yeah, but—"
"shame on you two" jerry crosses his arms. "both of them deserve respect, not this gambling on their unborn child’s gender"
lineman suddenly has an idea. "so jerry...you must think it's a girl, right?"
jerry nods. "obviously. can't you see it? imagine her holding jake's pinkie with her tiny little hands"
lua smirks, catching lineman's drift as he discreetly slides a notepad to her. "so hypothetically...you'd place a bet on girl?"
he closes his eyes, lost in thought. "exactly. she’d teach him patience, unconditional love—"
lua nods, cutting him off as she jots notes down. "mhm. yeah. and how much are you putting down?"
jerry strokes his chin. "i'd say...30,000 won, easy-"
he blinks. "wait..."
jerry's jaw drops, the betrayal evident on his face. "you tricked me"
lineman grins, holding his hands up. "of course not. you just wanna see boss jake become a girl dad. that’s passion"
jerry opens his mouth to argue — then closes it. he shamefully places cash on the table.
"this stays between us" he whispers, glancing from side to side.
lua nods in satisfaction. "of course"
jason walks by, looking at the money on the table. "you guys are still on this? fine, put me down for a boy. 75,000 won"
˚⊱🪷⊰˚
jake blinks in disbelief when the truth gets exposed. "...you guys are betting? on my child?"
lineman, lua, and jason whistle, staring at the wall in fascination.
jake looks at jerry, expecting some shame.
jerry looks down, fiddling with his fingers. "...i was tricked"

📼 — PRESENT TIME ; February 19th 2024
“Is everything alright?” 
Kai’s light voice slices through the dark clouds looming over your head and your gaze snaps up to meet his. “You’ve barely touched your food”, he says as he motions toward your still full plate. You follow his line of sight, heaving a small sigh as you prop your head on one of your hands. 
“Not feeling particularly hungry today I suppose”, You mumble as you push said food around leisurely with your fork. It was kind of Kai to offer you lunch like this, your junior often did his best in trying to please his colleagues, sometimes you wondered if Kai ever gave himself credit for his hard work. 
Kai puts his own fork down as he swallows. His big brown eyes search yours, much to no avail as you keep them trained to your plate with a displeased frown. He clears his throat, “Does it have anything to do with your new case this morning?” He asks the question hesitantly, like he was afraid of stepping on a nerve he wasn’t supposed to. 
Finally, you lift your gaze to look at him. Pulling your bottom lip between your teeth, you ponder your next words carefully. It wasn’t like you didn’t trust Kai, but Yeonjun had made it clear that what you were doing was technically against policy. Besides, Kai had never been one to keep secrets, especially not when pressured into confessings, which he more than often was. 
“Partly..” You slowly admit, “But for the most part I’m just tired, it’s been a long week as is.” You give a weak shrug as you reach for your glass, sipping on your water unenthusiastically. Kai, on the other hand, doesn't seem convinced as he studies you with a small frown. Still, he seems to respect your boundaries and doesn’t try to pry further. 
You give him a faint smile, “Sorry, I’m not exactly good company right now.” But your junior quickly shakes his head, immediately objecting. — “You’re always great company, noona.” Both the compliment and the formality makes your smile widen, Kai really was adorable. 
“You’re great company too, Huening.” 
He blushes furiously at that as he quickly occupies himself with his own food. You liked spending time with Kai, he was easygoing, despite his somewhat awkward compliments. The atmosphere always felt light when he was around. The restaurant he’d taken you to was small and quaint, situated just across the park. And though the flowers had yet to bloom and the treetops remained naked, you found it a beautiful sight. 
Beomgyu had rarely taken you out to restaurants. In fact, he’d rarely taken you out at all, anywhere besides those clubs and dark hotel rooms at least. Back then you failed to see the issue with that, but then again, there were a lot of things you had disregarded in better judgement of Choi Beomgyu. 
⸝⸝ 
📼 — March 31st 2022 
Three days was actually an awfully long time when you waited for something. And it felt even longer when you didn’t know if what you waited for would ever come. In fact, these past three days had felt like three years. — 72 excruciatingly long hours without Beomgyu, and for every single one of those hours, you had not stopped thinking about him. 
On your way to class, in class, at work, at home, with Kayla. Oh. That’s right. You had yet to tell your friend about your quickie out in the alleway. It was better that way, or at least so you thought. She would only scold you for going against her words... But what if they had been said out of jealousy? You shouldn’t take them too seriously, right? 
Sex wouldn’t kill you. — But it would definitely get you addicted. 
This newfound abstinence somehow grew with each passing day. You thought you would’ve moved on by now, forgotten him, just like he’d forgotten you. It was obvious that what had transpired between the two of you three days ago had merely been an exchange of pleasure. Beomgyu hadn’t as much as looked back when you parted ways, neither had he given you his number, or taken yours. 
It was a one time thing, no strings attached, literally. Perhaps his nonchalance after sharing such an intimate moment should’ve been your first warning. 
Briefly you wondered if things would’ve turned out differently, had you taken a cab home that night and forgot about the alluring stranger. But there was no changing the past, and now you were to live with this decision, for as long as you could remember.
It was late, well past midnight on a Tuesday night when your otherwise dry phone chimed with a notification. The bright screen illuminates your dark bedroom, and your attention diverts from the coursebook in your lap and over to the small device. With a perplexed frown, you reach for it. As you squint against the near blinding brightness, you find an unfamiliar number on screen.
The sender had left one message. An address and a time. 
2am.. And in an area you did not recognize. A small and uneasy feeling settling within the pits of your stomach as you re-read the text over and over. Despite every reasonable sense in your body practically screaming for you to block whoever this was and forget about it, you can’t seem to find it in you. 
Instead your shaky fingers begin to type out a reply. 
“Who is this?”
Message not delivered. Huh? Why wouldn’t it let you… Something was wrong, very wrong. But despite your inner turmoil, the winning side ends up being the one that forces you out of bed as you stumble toward your dresser. — The sender had left no signature, yet you were almost certain of its source. A small sense of hope surges through you, and it is what compels you to go through with this utterly idiotic decision. 
Your arms wrap around your skimpily dressed body. Spring has yet to take hold on the biting frost that still lingered. With urgent steps, you scurry through the narrow alleyway. The light of your phone screen illuminated your way amongst the unfamiliar buildings and the further you got from the main street, the heavier your heart grew. Had this been a mistake? What if someone was luring you out here to kill you? 
Finally, there’s light. But it is not the warm and comforting glow of the usual streetlights. No, this is a purple, almost pinkish hue. It paints the brick walls around in a soft sheen. Your pulse quickens as you near the entrance of what you assumed to be another nightclub. It was strange.. You hadn’t heard of this one, nor was it anywhere to be found online. 
There’s a man by the doorway. You find your gaze lingering by his broad shoulders, his thick arms looking ready to rip through the tight shirt he wore. Your breath hitches in your throat when you catch a glimpse of the multiple tattoos of different symbolism covering his veiny forearms. Did he not get cold? 
The bouncer looks down at you, for he was tall as a skyscraper, and raises a brow. “You lost?” He asks, his voice is gruff, carrying a mocking tone as he watches you expectantly. — Nervously you shift on the spot, your mouth opening and closing repeatedly as you fumble for words. “I uh…” 
He chuckles, the sound echoing through the alleyway as he throws his head back. “It’s alright - What you’re looking for is probably down the street and to your right.” He nods in said direction, a smug grin stretching across his lip when his gaze falls on you once more. — “It’s more, your style”, he slowly adds. 
You can’t help the offended frown that flashed across your face. Your style? Sure you wouldn’t argue over the fact that this was unlike anything you’d usually do. But this was just insulting. How dare he speak to you like that, how dare he… — Oh but who were you kidding? You looked nothing like those who would spend half their awake time here. 
What were you even thinking, coming here, all alone no less? There was no way you would be let inside. — Such a waste of time. 
With a heavy sigh, you readjust your grip on the small handbag you’d brought, turning on your heel as you prepare to leave, when suddenly, a voice calls for you. It’s familiar, much so that it makes your stomach flip as you freeze up. Beomgyu. — Slowly glancing over your shoulder, your eyes lock with his dark ones. 
Beomgyu pushes past the bouncer who immediately gives a quick bow and steps aside. “Dollface”, he exhales, the nickname still sticking as he wraps an arm around your waist, making the hairs on the back of your neck stand. “You made it.” 
You can barely protest as he pulls you to his side, your bodies clashing against one another as he heads for the entrance he’d just emerged from. Upon passing the bouncer you think you might hear him whisper something to the man under his breath, though you remain unsure of what exactly transpired between the two. 
Given your not-so-broad expertise of clubs, you would say that at first glance, this place was no different. But as Beomgyu leads you through the crowded dance floor you slowly begin to realize that this was something entirely new. — This whole place felt almost exquisite, and the people here seemed aware of it. 
There was no bar, instead drinks were being served by the many waiters pacing the outlines of the main floor, all of them wearing the same black uniform. Large, velvet clad booths line the walls, and you expect Beomgyu to take you to one of them. — His gaze, however, seems fixed on the large staircase on the other side of the room. 
Quickly you notice the lingering glances you receive. Well, the lingering glances he receives. All eyes seemed to be on him as Beomgyu swerves his way through the crowd. Did he know these people? Did they know him? They have to, given the way they all stepped aside when he passed. 
You, on the other hand, were barely spared as much as a quick look, apart from a nasty scowl delivered by one of the many hooker-looking women. — What made Beomgyu so special here? 
Suddenly, his hand on your lower back feels heavy, like his fingers were going to sink into your skin and leave a permanent indent. If Beomgyu felt their stares, it didn’t seem to affect him in the slightest. Biting down a shudder, you keep your gaze trained ahead as you follow along, reaching the grand staircase with a sigh of relief. 
When you make it to the top, a pair of double doors are immediately swung open and you step inside. Your eyes scan the more desolate area, drinking in the expensive looking furniture, the extravagant booths and the quiet murmur of those chatting with one another. Suddenly you understood… “Isn’t this the VIP section?” 
Beomgyu huffs at your question, his lips pulling into a small smirk as he nods. “Clever girl.” 
As he steers you toward one of the larger booths, you realize that you wouldn’t be all alone. A man who looked to be in his late twenties sits by the round table, his leg propped on one knee as he swishes a drink in his hand. You did not recognize him, but had you seen him out on the streets one lonesome night, your first instinct would have been to run. 
“Duri!” Beomgyu’s exclamation carries out into the otherwise quiet but hot air and the man lifts his head as he peers in your direction. He sets his drink down, shifting in his seat when the two of you approach. — “And here I was beginning to think you had stood me up”, Duri says, a wide grin on his face. His gaze drifts to Beomgyu’s hand, still secure on your lower back. 
“Ah”, he exhales, “Now I see what kept you from me.” He sends you a not-so-subtle wink, but it didn’t feel the same way it had when Beomgyu did it. 
You clear your throat, it would be rude not to introduce yourself, right? — “Hi, uh…I..” Upon giving him a small, rather awkward wave, Duri suddenly bursts into laughter. He continues for a good thirty seconds, despite neither you or Beomgyu joining in, the latter seemingly unamused. 
“Pretty little thing you’ve got there”, Duri comments as he brings his glass to his lips, “What’s your name, love?” 
“Oh! It’s-” 
Beomgyu’s hand slithers around your waist, giving your hip a firm squeeze. “Dollface. This is my old friend, Duri.” He gestures to the man in front of you, giving him an unenthusiastic look that contradicted his previous excitement. “Duri, this is dollface.” Beomgyu doesn’t give you an opportunity to protest, his demanding grip steering you toward the booth, sliding in next to Duri as he pulls you along. 
He doesn’t seem to notice the frown on your face upon settling against the cushion. “Nice to meet you”, Duri says, eyeing you carefully over the rim of his glass. — “Uh, you too..” You shyly mumble, squeaking when Beomgyu’s hand finds place on your thigh, his cold rings stinging your bare skin. 
His free hand quickly calls a waiter over who seems to be stumbling on his feet to get to your booth faster. Beomgyu’s eyes are suddenly on you, “What d’you want, dollface?” — Taken aback, you glance between him and the waiter, biting the inside of your cheek. “I’ll have whatever you’re having.” 
Beomgyu nods, turning back to the waiter with an indifferent expression. “My usual, make it two.” — As the man scurries off, you force yourself to relax as Beomgyu and Duri indulge in a conversation regarding topics you had little knowledge of. They used words and slang you couldn’t recognize, speaking in hushed voices, as if being eavesdropped on. 
Left with your own thoughts, your mind wanders back to just a few moments prior. Why hadn’t he introduced you? Was he ashamed, but why bring you along in the first place then. Your eyes drift to Beomgyu’s hand on your thigh, his fingers moving absentmindedly over your naked skin, making light tapping motions. 
Why had he invited you here tonight? You thought it had been for easy sex, but as you sit here, your back pressed against the expensive velvet, everything felt a little too formal. Did he have an ulterior motive for bringing you out here, and if so, what? 
You could feel the heavy stares sent your way, people were always looking, as if Beomgyu was some sort of artifact. They were never really looking at you, but you somehow felt as if placed under a microscope. — It was almost thrilling in a way, sitting so close to the thing everyone in the room silently seemed to desire, for reasons you couldn’t quite understand. 
“Open up.” 
Beomgyu’s thick voice pulls you from your trail of thoughts. Startled, you blink as the cool surface of glass presses against your lips. Obliging, you let him pour the liquor into your waiting mouth. It burns your throat, yet leaves an almost sweet aftertaste. “This is good..” You murmur, taking the glass from his hand. 
The smirk on his lips only grows, “Knew you’d like it, dollface.” 
His statement makes your chest flutter and you feel your own lips pull into a small grin. “Why, you seem to know everything about me.” It was supposed to come across as a joke, friendly banter if you will. But Beomgyu’s eyes twinkle with something beyond mischief, something slightly darker, something dangerously close to lust. 
“You’d be surprised”, is all he says, leaning back against the velvet cushion as he sips on his own drink. What was that supposed to mean? 
You had almost forgotten Duri, and you jumped in your seat when he suddenly clears his throat. “Well, it seems my date for tonight has arrived.” He rises to his feet, chugging the last of his drink before setting his glass down. “Pleasure meeting you ‘dollface’..” He gives you one final glance, scoffing before walking off to join one of the girls a few booths away. 
Beomgyu doesn’t pay him any further attention, his gaze fixed on something far ahead as he mindlessly drinks. — “Who was he?” You can’t help but ask, feeling your curiosity gnawing away at you. 
“An old friend”, he simply shrugs, clearly ready to discard the matter. But you were far from satisfied with his nonchalant response. — “Then why didn’t you introduce me, if he’s an old friend I mean?” 
The small frown creasing his forehead was the first of actual expressions you’d seen on him. “I did.” He replies shortly, setting his glass down on the small table in front of you. Shaking your head, you twist in your seat to look at him fully. “Why not my name?” 
You knew your persistence was getting to him when he sighed. “What’s it to him?” He was sounding almost defensive now, his agitated response only riling you up further as you sought answers. “So? He’s your friend.” 
“Perhaps…” Beomgyu exhales, his attention now turned to Duri who was feeling up the girl he’d joined not even three minutes ago. “But not one you should be acquainted with.” — “Why?” 
Beomgyu groans, running a hand across his face tiredly. “You’re being really difficult here, sweetheart..” — “Did he do something bad?” This time you couldn’t refrain from asking, from crossing a line you knew you couldn’t return from. 
“Haven’t we all?” He counters upon emptying the last of his drink and his words sound almost solemn. You frown, “Yes but-” 
“Drop it dollface.” His voice is cold, causing a shiver to run down your spine, leaving no room for arguments as he slams his glass down on the table. You gulp as your gaze drops to the drink in your hand, its once sweet taste now sour on your tongue. Was he angry with you? You couldn’t tell, for Beomgyu’s expression remained stoic as his hand returned to your thigh. 
His answer made you certain of one thing though. Duri was someone who did things he shouldn’t. You recall Kayla’s last words about Shay, about the substance abuse, about Beomgyu. Would that mean that he also… No. Maybe he just bought from him every now and then? A small amount couldn’t be that bad right? As long as he had it under control. 
Back then you didn’t know it. But Beomgyu loved his control, more than a lot of things, more than a lot of people. — You glance up at him once more, a thousand questions prodding at your lips, you choose one. 
“How did you get my number?” 
Beomgyu groans, “Fuck dollface, you ask a lot of questions.” His free hand slides up your arm, moving to the nape of your neck as he brings your lips to his in a hot kiss. Beomgyu was good at avoiding questions, perhaps a little too good. 
That should’ve been your second warning.

📼 — PRESENT TIME ; February 19th 2024
Beomgyu had barely changed during the ten months you’d gone without seeing him. His hair was still the same pitch black, though a bit more unkempt and thinner by the ends. He had acquired dark circles under his eyes, they made his face appear more hollow. It was almost like life itself had been drained out of him. — Yet his charisma persisted, and Beomgyu took every opportunity he could grasp in order to push and prod at your buttons. 
You rarely found yourself in doubt of your own abilities. In fact, you had been outstanding amongst your peers during your months in training. And to interrogate, to break even the most coldhearted criminal with your mere words, there was an undeniable satisfaction in that. But as soon as you had stepped foot inside the room you had been trained in for so long, all confidence was lost on you. 
How could you ever see through him, through Beomgyu. For over a year you had been trying to read him. To crack him open and peer into his mind. Sure, you had been taught different techniques and methods now, you’d practiced and then practiced again. This wasn’t the same, far from it. For Beomgyu was nothing like anyone you’d ever met before. 
Just looking at him right now made your head spin. 
“What’s your relationship to the victim?” You school your voice into professionalism, into a cool and detached one. No matter how hard of a front you put up, it felt as if he could see right through it. — Beomgyu doesn’t meet your gaze, making it impossible for you to look for clues within his eyes. He twists the rings on his fingers, one by one, almost methodically. 
A smirk you knew all too well tugs across his lips. “What’s your relationship to that man?” 
Your mind goes blank, your brows raising on your forehead as you glance around. The room was empty, just like it had been for the past thirty minutes. — “Please don’t divert from the subject when we’re-” 
“The one in the doorway earlier.” He’s not giving up, and you push back a shudder when his dark eyes flicker up to yours. It was clear that he was looking for an easy entry into your head. He was searching for any kind of insecurity you might hold, he would puncture it and slither inside, just like he always did. 
You recall the afternoon’s events, thinking back to your lunch with Kai. Carelessly you had let him drop you off by the interrogation rooms. Had Beomgyu seen him? That would be your only explanation. “That was my colleague”, you say, keeping your expression stoic, even when Beomgyu’s smirk widens. 
“Really?” He drawls, and whether he kept going because the matter intrigued him, or if it was to waste time on irrelevant topics, you didn’t know. His dark eyes flicker between yours and the door which you had emerged from half an hour ago. “Didn’t look like it to me.” 
There he goes again, spewing his nonsense as he waits for you to eat from his palm. Just like you used to. He didn’t have that power over you anymore, you told yourself that. — “What you think does not matter.” Your hands reach for files in front of you as you readjust them, buying yourself some much needed time as your attention diverts to the pictures attached. 
“What? He your boyfriend or something?” 
His question comes out half a statement, half a huff. A short breath of disbelief, an almost menacing look on his face. But you’re not stupid enough not to catch the subtle tick of his jaw, the way his dark eyes narrowed, if just a little. He rocks his chair back on its hind legs, patiently waiting for your response as he tries to gauge your reaction. After everything, he still thought he had a say in anything regarding your life, regarding you. 
“He might be”, you shrug, already flipping through the files in order to avoid confronting the topic head on. It was a lie of course. He didn’t have to know that. Beomgyu had lied to you too, at one point, it had gotten hard to differentiate any of the reality that had been vowed between his lies. 
“Bullshit.” 
The sound of his cuffed hands slamming against the old metal table is deafening, the front legs of his chair hit the ground once more with an equally empowering thud. He leans forward now, even more than what was both professionally and emotionally appropriate for either of you. — Briefly you thought that Yeonjun might interrupt, and you listen for the door. But he never comes. 
You don’t flinch, not even when his hot breath tickles your face. His brows furrow, the corner of his lips twitching. “He’s not your type”, Beomgyu plainly states, the words falling from his lips are so close that you could practically taste them on your own. — “Who says?” You quickly retort, immediately scolding yourself for letting your professionalism falter. 
Your small slip up doesn’t pass him unnoticed and Beomgyu smirks. “C’mon dollface, you forget I know everything about you.” — “Knew.” You’re quick to interrupt him, your voice sharp and almost snappy. “You knew everything about me.” 
“People change Beomgyu, I changed.” Your professionalism was slipping at a dangerous rate. You didn’t care. The satisfaction of hearing those very words leave your own two lips was far more enticing than the policy you had to follow. 
Beomgyu’s expression remains unfazed, his brows slightly raised on his forehead as he watches you with calculating eyes. His tongue swipes across his bottom lip mindlessly. Ring clad fingers tapping against the metal table rhythmically, mimicking the tick of a clock, the sound ringing in your ears. You swallow, forcing your breathing to remain regulated as you place your files down. “Let’s hold here for today.” 
The screech of your chair against the stone floor pierces the air as you stand up. Dusting off your pants, you intend to not spare him as much as a second glance when you head for the door. The cool handle sends a small spark of electricity through your palm as you grip it tight. But before you get the chance to turn it and step outside, Beomgyu speaks; 
“Is red his favorite color too?” 
Your body feels ice cold, your heart catching in your throat and your eyes widening as you gaze ahead. “What?” You echo as you slowly turn to face him. He chuckles, but the laugh holds no warmth. Not until his dark eyes fall on your lips do you realize what he’s talking about. Without being able to stop yourself, your fingers reach up to touch the fresh coat of paint you’d applied after lunch. 
The red lipstick that you had accidentally brought along this morning, the one you were supposed to get rid of. It had been but a mere coincidence right… The way it had presented itself so nicely on your dresser earlier that day. 
Beomgyu smirks, his fingers coming to a halt on the metal of the table in front of him. “You still look fucking irresistible in it”, he says, pulling his bottom lip between his teeth. 
You look away, not wanting to face him a second longer. It was torturous, everything about him was. It instantly reminded you of why you had walked away all those months ago, of why you had tried so hard to forget him, to bury him within the depths of your mind, somewhere unattainable. 
“My boyfriend thinks so too.” It’s all you say before quickly turning on your heel and swinging the door open. Your heart pounds in your chest as you step outside. Slamming the door shut behind you with a loud thud, you lean against it as you try to compose yourself. 
Fuck, he still made you dizzy. 
That night turned into a sleepless one. Spent going through the remnants of Beomgyu, the pieces of him you still carried. Many times you’d been at war with yourself. One side argued that you should rid yourself of him completely, start anew, in a reality without him. The other side, the one that felt more than it thought, desperately clung onto him, in every way it could. That side made you replay every single memory shared with him, the good and the bad ones, it made you cry deep into the night and it made you scream in frustration and anger. Yet it always seemed to win. 
You turn the lipstick in your hands, fingers gliding against the smooth tube. It had come in a small box, wrapped in gold and tied with a red bow. Your hands had trembled as you undid the ribbon, and Beomgyu had been watching you intently. — You could still feel the weight of his hand on your lower back, the other one caressing your thighs swung over his lap. 
When you had plucked the lid, revealing the shiny artifact, your eyes had widened. Your lips parted delicately as you glanced between the lipstick and him. “I… Beomgyu this is…” You had barely been able to finish your sentence, too astonished by the gift before you. 
“Try it.” He exhales, his breath warm against the side of your face. With a small nod of your head you screwed the bottom of the tube, revealing the deep red lipstick. The cosmetic melted across your lips like butter, and you carefully spread an even layer, painfully aware of his eyes on you. 
Gently smacking your lips once, you turn to Beomgyu, shy gaze meeting his hungry one. His thumb brushed along your chin, swiping away any excess product. “Now you look like a real doll”, he’d murmured, knuckles caressing your heated cheeks. 
“I’ll wear it”, you had whispered as you leaned into his touch. And Beomgyu had hummed, a soft sound of approval as he’d pressed his lips against your freshly painted ones. 
“Good, red is my favorite color.” 
⸝⸝
📼 — April 10th 2022 
Beomgyu was difficult. Not in the sense where he was vague. Because whenever the two of you saw one another it would always lead to sex, he would make sure of that. Naturally you thought it was a mutual benefit situation going on. It wasn’t something you were opposed to, even if the idea hadn’t enticed you before. He was just… different. 
It would always go the same way. He sent you an address and a time, you showed up. It was a simple deal, one that had occurred without either of you confirming it out loud. For each instance he would use a different number, an untraceable one. At first you’d tried to show disinterest in the matter, to act like it didn’t bother you. But the truth was it did, a lot. 
Usually it’d be a club, never the same as the last, and he would make sure to get you alone as quickly as he could. Tonight was different, tonight he’d booked a hotel room, just for the two of you. And in the darkness, where only the sounds of your panting breaths lingered once he’d pulled out, you suddenly found your thoughts wandering. 
Usually you’d pass out quickly, feeling oddly comforted in his warm embrace. But tonight you’re wide awake. He is too, for his fingers draw lazy patterns on your naked hip. You swallow, blinking twice as you try to push the images from your head, biting back the questions waiting on your tongue. You didn’t want to ruin this moment, it felt fragile, like one misstep could shatter the entire thing. 
Yet the aftermath of your orgasm still surged within the depths of your stomach. It gave you confidence you usually lacked. Craning your neck, you turn your face to peer up at him. Still unable to make out his expression in the dark, you hesitate, if only for a second before asking the one question that had been on your mind for nearly two weeks. 
“Why won’t you give me your number?” 
Your words felt deafening, like church bells ringing through the air a quiet Sunday morning. Beomgyu doesn't answer, his chest rising and falling under your cheek as his fingers stop on your hip. Had you overstepped? No, this was a perfectly reasonable question. So what was the problem? 
Beomgyu heaves a sigh, the huff of air blowing over the top of your head. “Don’t got one”, he replies, his voice echoing through the hotel room. 
Confused, you lift your head as you squint toward him. “What’s that supposed to mean?” 
He shrugs, “Means I don’t got one.” 
You bite the inside of your cheek, hesitating. “Then how am I supposed to contact you?” Once the questions started spilling from your lips it seemed impossible to stop. You could tell he was getting annoyed by the second. — “You’re not”, he firmly states. His words manage to kill any lingering lust and warmth, the room suddenly felt cold. 
It was then, in that moment, that you realized that your relationship with Beomgyu was nothing more than a casual and mutual exchange of pleasure. You should’ve known that, suppose part of you always had, but his statement made it all the more clear. With a solemn expression you stare up at the ceiling, quietly mulling over his words. 
Sometimes it felt as if Beomgyu was made of ice. It was nearly impossible to get close, and even when you did, there was a thick layer concealing him. Nothing you said seemed to get him to melt, and anything regarding his personal life was kept stored deep within the cold. 
Beneath you Beomgyu shifts and you soon feel the warmth of his body disappear as he climbs out of bed. He doesn’t bother turning on the light but you can hear him pulling his clothes back on as he prepares to leave. — With a quiet kiss to your forehead he says, “I’ll text you.” And with that he was gone. 
It was the first time he’d left before you fell asleep. 
⸝⸝
📼 — April 17th 2022 
Days went by after that, and you didn’t hear from Beomgyu once. And when a whole week had passed since your night at the hotel, you were beginning to think that perhaps you never would. But if it was one thing you would come to learn about him, it was that you never had him where you thought you did. 
You were halfway through your morning lecture when you got his notification. A new number, a new address, just like usual. The relief and excitement that immediately flooded your senses should have been concerning. Did you long for him much so that even a simple text could get you worked up? It was almost as if you had become addicted. Everytime the unknown number flashed across your screen you knew that you would be getting your next fix. 
Anticipation flowed through your veins and you hurriedly stashed your books in your bag as soon as your professor finished talking. There was little time to waste. You walk with quick and fast paced strides, ignoring any of your classmates that tried to approach, all with friendly smiles on their faces. Any other day but today, you thought. Because today was about him. 
You reach the parking lot, all the way to your car and with your hand on the handle, a small tap to your shoulder makes you freeze. Twisting around on the spot, your eyes widen as they land on your slightly panting classmate.
“Oh my god, I’m so sorry Taehyun, I didn’t realize you were..” 
Your classmate waves a dismissing hand, shaking his head as he catches his breath. “It’s alright”, Taehyun clears his throat, a small grin spreading across his face. Taehyun was perhaps the only friend you had made during your time spent studying criminal justice. He was easy to talk to, and made your courses somewhat easier. You would often partner up for group projects, and this time around was no different. 
“I was wondering if you’re free tonight, for our project y’know..” He mumbles as he scratches the back of his neck sheepishly. Biting the inside of your cheek, you glance between your waiting classmate and the phone still gripped tightly in your hand. — You were supposed to meet Beomgyu tonight. 
Then again, was it really such a good idea to put your own personal needs and pleasure above your important studies, not to mention Taehyun’s as well? Beomgyu had seemingly little care for your own schedule, yet you were breaking your back trying to be there at his every beck and call. — Your eyes meet Taehyun’s hopeful ones, and in that moment you can’t bring yourself to tell him no. Fact is he had actually asked you like a decent human being, rather than sending a simple text from what could only be a burner phone. 
“If you’re not free we can totally reschedule..” — “Does 6:30 work for you?” 
Taehyun blinks, seemingly taken aback before quickly nodding, “Sure!” 
Perhaps this was just what you needed, a little distraction. Part of you wondered what would happen when you didn’t show up tonight, another part didn’t want to find out. 
⸝⸝
Your afternoon was spent like most, cleaning tables at the restaurant in which you worked part time. The hours didn’t pay a lot, but it was enough to get you through the month as you balance your studies. Having hit off with both the owners and their son, you often found yourself staying for dinner or even getting sent home leftovers from the day. Their kindness was remarkable and you made sure to work hard in order to repay them. 
It was nearing the end of your shift, the restaurant was fairly vacant and you had all but much to do. Upon clearing the last table, the doorbell suddenly chimed, announcing the arrival of new customers. Instinctively you turn to greet them — only to freeze in your tracks as your eyes fall on the small party of men. They were all dressed head to toe in black, some even wearing sunglasses despite the early spring season. 
The man by the very front caught your eye and your heart leapt out of your chest when you connected his face with a name. 
“You got any tables for five?” Duri’s booming voice sounds through the painstakingly empty room. He sounded nothing like the playful and almost flirtatious Duri you had met a couple of weeks ago. You nod, “This way”, you say, trying your best to swallow down the lump in your throat as you lead them toward a secluded table by the corner. 
Upon handing them the menu, your gaze keeps flickering back to Duri. He had yet to show any signs of recognition and you were starting to think that perhaps he hadn’t recognized you at all. A temporary sense of relief washes over you, one that would quickly be disrupted as you begin taking orders. You save him for last, turning to him with the most friendly smile you could muster. 
Duri remains quiet, a sly smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. It didn't remind you of Beomgyu in the slightest, this man felt almost disgusting in a way. “Surprise me”, he then says before slamming the menu book shut. 
It isn’t until the kitchen doors fall shut behind you that you breathe out the tension you had allowed to build up during the past five minutes. What were the odds? Of all the restaurants why did he… You shake your head, dragging a tired hand down your face as you stifle a groan. — If he had recognized you, why didn’t he say something? 
You glance down to the notepad in your hand, their orders scribbled down hastily as you hurried to get away from them. The word “surprise” seems taunting as your eyes linger on the messy ink. A small frown tugs on your brows and you quietly tap the paper as an idea enters your mind. 
When bringing their food back out, you make sure to place Duri’s plate last, a rather strategic mood on your part. Your hands have an undeniable tremble to them as you tuck the folded note under the porcelain, making sure it peeks out just enough for him to see, and him only. Everyone else seems oblivious as they indulge in their meals, not paying you any mind even when you linger by their table for longer than needed. 
Duri on the other hand has noticed the piece of paper. He pulls it out between his middle and index finger, shooting you a questioning glance to which you subtly shake your head. Then he chuckles, the sound building deep within his chest as he shoves the note in his pocket. — You breathe out a heavy sigh of relief. 
With a quick bow you murmur a quiet, “Enjoy”, before turning on your heel and darting back to the kitchen. But before you make it to the large doors does his booming voice make you falter. “Thanks for the food, dollface.” 
⸝⸝
Takeout boxes and empty bottles of soju crowd the small coffee table in Taehyun’s living room. Perched on his old sofa, you and your classmate find yourselves engrossed in schoolwork, just like you had been for the past four hours. Time seemed to have little concept when spent in the presence of Taehyun and you found yourself having a lot more fun than you’d originally intended. 
Together you had been assigned to try and solve one of the many cold cases piling up at the office. It was a thrilling concept, it was something real and not fabricated by your professor for once. Using the little evidence there was, you and Taehyun play through the tape recordings of the few suspects interrogated. 
“Wait, play this part back.” Taehyun mumbles as he reaches for the record player. “Doesn't the ex-boyfriend sound suspicious here? You can clearly hear it in the way his voice breaks.” With his finger on the device, he increases the volume as he plays the tape back. You lean forward, your hands on your knees as you listen to the piece of audio. 
“I dunno..” You shrug, giving him a playful smile, “He sounds just like you.” Taehyun snorts, “As if.” Though he’s unable to refrain from grinning when he catches your giggle. 
“We haven’t played that one yet”, you point toward another cassette and your partner nods in agreement as he reaches for it. “Promise you won’t get scared?” He teases, to which you give his shoulder a push. 
Spending time with Taehyun was freeing, it was easy. But despite that, your subconscious kept wandering back to Beomgyu. A nervous feeling bubbled within your stomach, making your heart beat just a little faster at the thought of him. He’d occupied your mind for weeks now, holding your thoughts hostage and keeping you from focusing on what actually mattered. It was unfair, did he think about you like you thought about him? Hardly. 
And after slipping Duri that note, you could only hope he would receive the news of your changed plans. Would he be angry with you, or would he just not continue to see you at all. Not being able to directly contact him gnawed at you — for you wanted nothing more than to dial a quicker number and hear his voice on the other line, as pathetic as it might sound. 
Suppose it was a good thing after all. Had you had his number you probably wouldn’t be able to refrain from texting him. Yet you felt completely powerless like this, as if he was holding the strings and you were simply dancing along, just like he wanted you to. 
A small, shameful part of you felt jealous. What if he’d called someone else. Surely you weren’t the only woman he saw. But you were still special. He never saw those girls again, they were temporary, so you told yourself. Not you though, you weren’t temporary. You were someone he would call for, over and over again, you were special. 
“What do you think it’s going to be like?” Taehyun’s voice suddenly interrupts and you blink as you glance toward him. “Sorry what?” You dumbfoundedly ask, embarrassed over having spaced out like that. But your classmate only smiles, that stupidly warm and comforting smile of his. — “What do you think it’s going to be like? Out there I mean, when we finally make it.” 
You purse your lips, you had never really thought about it like that. Sure, you had known for a long time that you wanted to be someone who did good, someone who served justice and spoke for those who couldn’t. But you had never actually stopped to think of what it would be like when you were actually out there. 
You send Taehyun a lopsided grin, “I think it’s going to be awesome.” 
⸝⸝
📼 — PRESENT TIME ; February 20th 2024
The sound of car doors slamming shut echo throughout the narrow alleyway. Upon stepping out the distinctive smell of sewage water invades your senses. Yeonjun, too, makes a face of disgust as he steps out beside you. “Fucking hell”, he mutters as he pinches the bridge of his nose, pushing his glasses further up in the process.
The area was run down, yet nothing out of the ordinary. A small apartment complex loomed before you. The building was covered in graffiti and a multitude of its windows had been broken, making you assume that rent stayed on the cheaper end. — You didn’t have to stop and ask what kind of people lived here, you were far too familiar with the setting. Perhaps that was why you felt comfortable with taking the lead as you approached the small stone-staircase leading to the front door. 
Bright yellow tape highlights the door concealing the crime scene, reading out the words ‘DO NOT CROSS’ in bold text. Pushing said tape aside, you rummage your pockets for the set of keys you’d been provided. The old wooden door makes a squeaking side upon being opened as it slowly reveals the tiny flat. 
The sewage smell outside had been a mere foretaste of what was to come, and as the stench of dried blood hit you had to refrain from gagging. Behind you, Yeonjun remains silent as he lets you venture inside first, obviously interested in seeing your take on the scene. And while such a thing would’ve usually honored you, it somehow felt more like a curse today. 
It’s dark inside the apartment. The windows were boarded up in order to divert any unwanted attention and the air had become humid due to the confined space, in turn only increasing the sickly sweet and rotten smell of human blood. 
You mimic your senior’s actions of bringing out a flashlight, flicking it on before pointing it out before you. The frontdoor had led into an all but spacious hallway, following it took you to a tiny living room. — Something about crime scenes always makes you feel a melancholic sense of nostalgia. Whatever scene you were currently witnessing had been the last thing someone else ever had. It was a place where they had taken their very last breath, a time capsule, forever frozen in time. 
Chaos has spread through the open area, and instead of stumbling across a huge pool of blood, you find that it’s everywhere. It covers the coffee table, some having dripped down onto the fluffy carpet beneath. The couch is stained, as are the walls leading out into the bedroom. 
“They fought”, Yeonjun suddenly comments as he squats down by the sofa. He points his flashlight in the direction of the torn pillows, the indent of what had undoubtedly been a knife remaining. “He seems to have put up a hell of a fight”, you murmur as you gaze along the bloody handprints across the lower regions of the walls. 
Your senior hums, “They started in the kitchen”, he gets up and turns toward the archway. You follow him inside the small room, your curiosity at its peak. “How do you know?” You wonder to which Yeonjun pulls out a plastic bag from the large backpack he carried. Your brows rise on your forehead as you survey the bloody knife concealed inside. 
“This”, he says before motioning toward the sets of knives on the countertop and your gaze falls on the empty spot. — “Whoever killed Park Baekhyun attempted it with this knife, which they got from here.” 
Yeonjun gestures toward the entirety of the space as he continues, “Besides, this room is far less blood stained than the living room, meaning the fight most likely erupted here and then progressed outside as the victim tried to flee.” — As you take in the state of the kitchen you realize that he’s right. While the room was certainly messy, with piles of unwashed dishes in the sink as well as old takeout boxes, it never appeared to hold any signs of direct trauma. 
You follow him back into the living room as Yeonjun continues to piece together the events of that night. “The victim used pillows to defend himself”, he pointed toward the torn cushions whose feathers lay scattered across the couch. Then he frowns, “He got hit, and badly.” — Your gaze follows the heavy trail of blood leading toward the bedroom. 
“It’s strange”, Yeonjun mutters under his breath. You can’t help but ask, “What is?” 
Your senior motions toward the handprints covering the lower walls, “He couldn’t walk.” 
Admittedly you didn’t quite understand what that had to do with the matter. So what if he couldn’t walk, his fate was sealed either way, no? But Yeonjun obviously saw something you didn’t. His abilities to tell as much from the situation intrigued you greatly, and you were eager to learn his ways. 
As you approach the doorway leading to the bedroom he says, “The autopsy showed a wound on his right leg. Now, presuming that to be the reason he couldn’t walk he would have to have been crawling, using the walls to push himself forward, that would explain the handprints.” Yeonjun points to the dried blood on the cream white walls and you follow his line of sight. “This would have given the offender a great view of his throat, yet he didn’t kill him here.” 
You frown, why not kill him if he had the opportunity? Why waste time like that unless… “He enjoyed the hunt.” Yeonjun firmly states as he stops on the threshold leading into the bedroom. With a quick glance down the hallway, his eyes linger on the front door. “But why aim for the bedroom and not the way out?” 
“Could there be something important here?” You chime in, rocking back and forth on your heels as you eagerly peek over your seniors shoulder and into the bedroom. Yeonjun nods, “Perhaps.” 
The room itself remains untouched, almost neat if not for the unmade bed and dirty laundry scattered around. Though the struggle of Park Baekhyun remains evident on the floor, a thick and heavy trail of blood dragging past the foot of the bed and into the joint bathroom. 
A queasy feeling settles within your stomach as you approach. Out of all the rooms in the apartment, this somehow felt darker. The air was thicker, the scent of blood stronger and the lingering feeling of death almost crushing. — Once a pearly white, now covered in red was the bathroom. And as soon as you stepped inside, you knew that this was where the victim had taken his last dying breath. 
The mirror, broken into a million tiny pieces, lay scattered across the floor like pieces of an unsolved puzzle. The sink had several large cracks in it, you guessed from banging something or someone against it. 
Worst was the bathtub. Filled to the brim with murky red water, the shower curtains ripped off their hangers, likely a panicked response or one out of pure rage. Bloody hand and finger prints adorn the edge of the tub. — Yeonjun sighs next to you, “Victim’s cause of death was asphyxiation”, he points toward the water, “He drowned.” 
It was then your heart sank as reality finally settled in. This could all be Beomgyu’s doing. At first it had felt surreal, seeing him after so many months. Finding out that he was the prime suspect of this case. You had managed to downplay the whole thing, you had denied, no refused to believe that the man you thought to have loved could have done something like this. It was a reality you had been dying for longer than you wanted to admit. 
But as you see the blood, the way the victim had clung to life until the very end. And Beomgyu had taken that from him. He had taken it without any remorse. And you’d watched the grin playing on his lips when you read the case files, you’d heard the smugness in his voice. He was proud of himself, of what he had done. 
You felt sick to your stomach. A hand clasped over your mouth, you shake your head. The room suddenly felt small, its walls closing in on you, shoving the cold hard truth in your face. 
Beomgyu had killed someone. 
⸝⸝
📼 — April 18th 2022 
You ended up staying over at Taehyun’s place that night, and the next morning you carpooled to school. It was easy to forget when you were with him, and class proved to be just as good of a distraction. Before you knew it 9am had turned into 12pm and you soon found yourself walking out of the lecture hall. 
Kayla was supposed to pick you up as your own car had been left at home. Your eyes scan the parking lot for her familiar little car, but in typical Kayla fashion she was probably running late. Deciding to just wait her out, you approach one of the nearby benches. — The spring day is a surprisingly warm one, a gentle breeze soothing over your face as you pull up your phone in order to try and reach your friend. 
You’ve barely made it down to the letter K in your contact list when someone suddenly takes the seat next to you on the bench. Your thumb hovers above Kayla’s name and your body grows rigid as you bite your tongue. You did not have to turn your head to know who it was, for the ring clad fingers that intertwine over his lap tells you everything you need to know. 
Beomgyu quietly hums next to you and you feel your blood go cold. His presence is both invasive and unsettling, and his silence certainly wasn’t helping. How did he know what university you attended — more importantly, why was he here? Because Beomgyu never asked to meet unless he wanted something, and you had never seen him like this, outside and in broad daylight. It terrified you. 
Daring a small glance in his direction, your eyes fall on the dark attire he wore. He gazes ahead as he watches your classmates pass with an almost bored expression on his face. Try as you might but there was no telling if he was angry with you or not. Had he not gotten your message and was that why he was here? Or had he gotten it and that was why he was here? 
You anxiously chew on the inside of your cheek, keeping your attention intently fixed on your phone in your hands. The thick silence seemed to drag on forever and you wondered when Kayla might show up, she would be far from pleased when she saw who you were chit-chatting with. 
“Criminal justice?” Beomgyu finally asks, his voice matching the monotone expression on his face. You give a small, almost unnoticeable nod. 
Beomgyu scoffs next to you as he leans back against the hard wood of the bench. He rolls his thumbs over one another, not bothering to glance in your direction. “I’m sure you’ll make a great little detective, dollface.” 
You couldn’t tell if he was being genuine or not, either way you decide against asking. Instead you fiddle with the elastic of your phone case as you await his next words. Your eyes met with a few whom you recognized from your lectures, most just gave awkward smiles, while others attention lingered on Beomgyu. It was safe to say that he stood out amongst the crowd. 
“You were busy yesterday.” He states and you suddenly remember your last conversation, the one which had ended on anything but a good note. — “School project..” You quietly murmur, choosing to leave Taehyun out of the equation. 
“Studies are important”, Beomgyu hums, and it seems as though he’s ready to drop the subject again. But of course you had to go and ruin it. “Did you… Get my message?” The question had been prodding at your mind since yesterday afternoon, and your voice is but a mere whisper as the words leave your lips. 
Beomgyu’s expression flashes with something you can’t quite place. It wasn’t fury but it highlighted his strong distaste for the topic. “Thought I told you not to acquaint yourself with Duri.” He sounds stern, and you felt like you were being scolded. Naturally your gaze drops to the ground and you swallow a gulp. “I know… But there was no other way for me to contact you.” 
“Because you shouldn’t.” He suddenly snaps, his tone teetering on annoyed. Suddenly your conversation begins to feel much like your last. The fear of him walking off on you resurfaces and it felt almost too much to bear. Perhaps that was why you had so abruptly turned in your seat to look at him fully. The action makes him tilt his head in your direction. “But that’s unfair.” 
“How am I supposed to just be available, what if something comes up? How would you know?” You were bordering on sounding whiny, but you couldn’t find it in you to care. Beomgyu raises a brow as he looks at you. You can’t tell if he’s considering your words or holding back laughter, but soon he smirks. “If you’re not available then you’re not.” He says it like it’s the simplest thing in the world, when reality it’s far from it. 
You frown, “Then what about you?” — He shakes his head, “You worry ‘bout yourself, dollface.” 
Your lips part in objection, but before the protest can slip, you hinder yourself. A bitter realization washes over you as you understand what he’d meant. Worry about yourself… Who were you kidding, he wouldn’t have to wait long for another girl to come along if you happened to be unavailable. How naive of you to think that what the two of you had was anything but causal, he’d already proven you that time and time again. 
Now you just looked like an idiot for trying to compromise with him. You bite your lip as you avoid his gaze, wanting to be anywhere but in front of him right now. And it’s almost as if he’s reading your mind because in no less than ten seconds does he rise from his seat. — This was it, he was leaving you again, just like he had that night, and there was nothing you could do to stop him. 
You watch as he makes his way across the parking lot with his hands in his pocket. Once he makes it halfway across does he turn to look at you. The smirk stretching across his face made your heart leap. “You comin’ or not, dollface?”

Im really loving your sylus x innocent mc stories!! I was wondering what if Innocent Mc is sick or gotten hurt while Sylus is in the middle of a business deal, and when he finds out, he immediately leaves to go take care of mc. 🥺💖
Healer - Sylus x Sick Innocent Fem Reader
Tumblr media
A/N: hi anon, thank you for being patient!! I have a lil something for you and for everyone especially with the 3.0 update! I won't spill anything so I hope you all enjoy reading this little fic and thank you for reading!
Disclaimer: I do not own the images nor the characters or you (the MC). All images were taken from Pinterest and credit goes to the image's respective owners.
Warnings: threatening, blood
If Sylus could just kill everyone in the room and be done for the day, he would. But unfortunately, there was nothing that was reasonable enough to do so.
Luke and Kieran told him about “highly” businessman that wanted to make a deal regarding the protocores Sylus had. Saying that he’s willing to invest in the business that Sylus had going around if he were to be given a fraction of Sylus’ protocore collection. Of course, Sylus knew what this man specifically wanted. As much as he wants this to end quickly to get to you, Sylus loves to make his victims pretend that they got the upper hand before he turn the tables.
But the more this meeting drags on, Sylus realised something. You didn’t text him at all today. You just told him that you had to go into town for some errands but that was at 8am while it was already 5pm and there had been none information regarding you for the past 9 hours which is unheard of throughout your relationship with Sylus since the beginning.
Though Sylus already sent the twins and mephisto to look for you, he was still restless. Sylus tries to think of all other more “reasonable” scenarios. Maybe you forgot to bring your charger and your phone died in the middle of the die. Maybe you were at a friend’s place and you left your phone on do not disturb or perhaps…
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a bad feeling when he heard the twins chatter loudly when he was at the end of the hall in the meeting room.
Without thinking, Sylus bolted out of the meeting room, immediately telling the business partner he’ll rearrange another meeting. When his business partner was threatening him, Sylus didn’t hesitate to point his gun at them. “Accept my offer to reschedule while I’m being sane unless you want me to expose all of your dirty little secrets to the world? I’m sure with how the taxes to everything increasing, it’s going to be hard to get the materials you need without my help”
Luckily, his business partner held both his hands up in defeat, making Sylus smirked. “Wise decision”. Sylus signalled his other men to handle his business partner and his men while he went to see what happened to you.
Sylus knew that no matter what, Luke and Kieran would always bring you back to your shared bedroom. It was practically a sacred place for the both of you. A safe haven, a place where the two of you can be yourself, took care one another, and spend time to be with each other.
Sylus felt the walk down the hall back to his shared bedroom felt further than usual. Halfway through the hallways, Mephisto perched itself on Sylus’ shoulder, cawing at its owner as if it was trying to give Sylus a heads up.
However, before Mephisto could show Sylus anything, the door to his shared room with you was opened and it revealed Luke and Kieran who looked worried despite the masks they wore. “Boss…” the twins let out a soft sigh of relief seeing Sylus came “Care to fill me in on what happened?” Sylus questioned his two most trusted men, knowing that these twins care for you just as much as he did (Sylus definitely still cared for you the most)
“There was blood, boss” Kieran started and it already send chills throughout Sylus’ body. “Yeah. We didn’t know how it happened. When you told us to find the miss, we didn’t expect there’d be blood” Luke added on
“She also started moving in a dizzy way” Kieran pointed out “She almost fainted when we brought her back. We don’t know how to help stop the bleeding” Luke added on more and by now Sylus couldn’t take it and barged into the room, leaving the twins in the hallway
“Sweetie?!” Sylus called out to you and hearing your groan, he immediately went to the bed, seeing you bundled under layers of bed covers and blanket “It hurts sy…” you whimpered and Sylus didn’t waste time to get into bed and pulled you to him. “Tell me what happened, where does it hurt? How much blood did you lose?”
Sylus gently stroke your head, kissing your forehead and allowing you to snuggled closer to his large body. “J-just, just like every other month”
It was then Sylus realised what actually happened and immediately checked his phone. Noticing the reminder, Sylus let out an annoyed sigh “Those twins…they almost made me pull my heart out”
“Sy…” you mumbled and Sylus snapped back at your weaken self
“I know sweetie. I know. You lay back down yeah? I’ll have the chef immediately cook you some warm soup and I’ll bring painkillers” Sylus gently laid you back, pulling up the layers of blanket to keep you warm, kissing your forehead again
“Are you angry?” you managed to asked despite your weak state
“You had me worried a bit but I can never be angry at you, sweetie. What happened to your phone though?” Sylus asked
“I forgot to charge it last night and was only 15% left when I went out. M’sorry” you mumbled, trying to sleep while Sylus shook his head, caressing your cheek
“I understand sweetie. You were out of it since last night. I’m sorry I didn’t notice. I’ll help make sure that your phone is always charged but for now, you try to rest a bit more while I get you some warm soup and painkillers along with your favorite sweets then I’ll cuddle you until you’re better”
Sylus placed one last gentle kiss on your forehead before leaving the room to get the things he said he would get.
“So?! Did you manage to stop the bleeding boss?” Luke asked
“If he looked calmer now, everything must be okay with the miss, right?” Kieran asked as well
Sylus stopped in his tracks before giving the twins a side glare. “You two, my office now. Once I’m back, I’ll make sure the two of you are educated and understand the human anatomy of a woman and her struggles of bleeding every single month”
The twins had never seen their boss looked so serious and menacing towards them which meant they had made a grave mistake. “W-what do you mean boss?” the twins asked as Sylus turned around, his aether core was practically glowing a crimson red colour. “She was on her damn period yet the two of you made it sound like she was bleeding to death! I swear if any of you give me this kind of heart attack again, I’ll have to start cutting your allowances”
The twins rushed to Sylus’ office in fear and started to look up about period, educating themselves everything about it while Sylus took care of you. It’s safe to say that by the next crack of dawn, the twins would understand more about periods and how they could help you if it happened again when Sylus wasn’t around.
A/N: yup, was about periods LMAO

HARLEY SAWYER X PSYCHOLOGIST READER
HEADCANNONS: before Leiths backstabbing
Tumblr media
When Pierre Leith first introduced you both when you were working in the project "bigger bodies" he though it would be good to have Sawyer a little bit more controlled. Your personality and insistence on defying authority made you a good match.
Little did he knew that eventually you would actually start getting along with the doctor, which meant that he had two insubordinate pricks to worry about.
Reader does have compassion and some kind of affection towards Doey, but they ignore it in favour of their own ambitions and the project.
Thats the reason they try not to use cold as much with Doey, only when it's really necessary.
Before your friendship/companionship started to develope, the doctor usually appeared more to respond to Pierre's demands or to talk to the executives but since he doesn't really like doing it and does it out of obligation, he often ask you to talk on behalf of both of you.
That's how the scientific team, the specialist, Pierre, Ludwig and other coworkers started getting used to you being basically the voice of Sawyer outside the lab.
You had enough trust on each other to be able to talk in behalf of the other. (Mostly you since Harley doesn't seem to eager to socialise).
At first, when Doey was recently woken up and he still was getting used to their new body. You and Sawyer would go together to the interviews to record the development of the experiment. Some day out of the blue, Doey started to react aggressively to the doctor, only to him so he started to avoid going to the interviews with the mass and stayed in the observation room.
The doctor sometimes gets actually happy about some improvement his experiments may have but he expressed it with a poker face, a raised brow and the slightest change in his voice.
*Yarnaby actually starts listening for once*
Sawyer: ah, that's so interesting-actually glad for once-
(Y/N):are you actually happy or you're just being awfully sarcastic??
You never actually talked about what you guys like in terms of food or drinks so since sometimes you went to the cafeteria in the upper levels to get some food, your started to bring him random stuff for him to try and watch his reaction in order to find out what he liked. Basically using him as a guinea pig with trial and error.
Harley suspects that that's the reason you've been bringing random stuff with you and offering it to him.
I think he has certain favouritism for Yarnaby so sometimes he makes you test him more than usual even though he knows that he won't get a different response from the yarn lion other than animal like reactions. With time it just turned into an excuse to spend time with you. Your company is actually enjoyable after all.
You both are difficult people to deal with in a work environment. You both like control over things and you are both willing to go to any lengths to reach your ends.
This also comes with certain differences that sometimes, makes both your works a little bit unbearable. On one hand we have you, you tend to joke and slip sarcastic comments here and there without any filter, you're cunning, more than he initially assumed. Harley is not used to this so it makes him get really irritated when you don't seem to take something seriously, even though he respects your lack of filter in everything you say.
On the other hand, there's him, he's controlling and he gets easily angry. He's used to be in control so he tends to lash out whenever he's not the one in charge, a very self centered man. It never fails to annoy you how sometimes he just forgets that you're working there two. This was more noticeable during your early ages working together.
With time you have learned to adapt to each other in order to obtain better productivity. But still sometimes you get on each others nerves.
When it comes to physical contact, you guys are basically the definition of touch starved. Some more voluntarily than others...
But just there are moments when Sawyer can feel your hands brush against his when your passing him the paperwork about the experiments, or how your knees graze slightly when your seated next to each other in the observation room.
You can feel sometimes his breath against your neck since the doctor doesn't know the meaning of personal space. Your inspecting the experiments from a footbridge and the doctor just stand right there, behind you, observing in silence.
And his voice, you have catched yourselves zooning out hearing at his smooth silky voice. When he spoke to Yarnaby like a pet or when he named the a list of experiments that he was expected to operate that day. The tone of his voice was like a kiss to your ears.
Once he fell asleep in his chair after days of exhausting procedures and since the sir conditioner was to high and you couldn't really afford to keep up with the business rithm without the doctor you put your own jacket on his shoulders and retired his glasses to the side of his desk.
When he woke up, he silently put your jacket back in your shoulders, his touch lingering way to long
Headcannons about the reader and the doctors relationship pre transformation. Part two of the fanfic I made is in progress...
I also redesigned the doctors human form: tell me what do you think??

chasing the stars, part 2.
seeking each other out once is a coincidence, twice is a choice.
ship: bfd!declan o'hara/fem!reader. tags/warnings: slow burn, very tiny Declan POV, reader smoking, references to cheating, no y/n. word count: 2.3k
Part 1 here!
a/n: so. i did in fact speak some famous last words - i forgot that uni exists again and got distracted with life stuff, sorry y'all!! Still writing p3, it's at 1.6k and I'm nowhere near done so... yay? enjoy :)
Taggie, as ever, had made a beautiful meal, with your occasional assistance and constant motivation to combat her self-doubt. And as the evening wound down, now that Caitlin and Patrick had been back at their respective institutions and Maud was back and forth between London and the Cotswolds - mostly in London as of recent - the house was quiet most of the time - even more so if Taggie was out for the night either at your or on the town. Declan was appreciative for the noise, even if the loud pop music and over the top singing sometimes woke him up in the early hours of the morning, he preferred it over the eerie silence that lingered in the creaky house when it was just him.
The girls were set up in the living room, with lamps and candles being the only light setting the atmosphere around them with some rerun of an old film playing from the TV - but the light chatter and laughter overtop made it clear they were barely watching it. As Declan walked past the archway to the living room, he noted at least 2 empty bottles on the table, and one half-full. He was glad Taggie had someone to confide in, and even more glad that it was someone as truly wonderful as you. Regardless of any pull he felt toward you, his priority was always to put his daughter's happiness over his own - even if at times he let that fall to the wayside in pursuit of grander things. Now that he was making plans to leave Corinium - if Tony would just let him - he hoped that it would help him prioritise keeping those he loved happy. Even if that happiness meant letting them go.
Taggie ended up falling asleep on the sofa adjacent to yours, the wine making her blink out as soon as she brought her blanket around her shoulders. You, however, were wide awake. The film had long since ended, and you didn't want to risk changing the channel and waking her up. So, as quietly as you could, you rummaged around in your bag for your tobacco and papers before darting around to the kitchen so you could turn on the light. The process of rolling was therapeutic - even if Taggie chastised you for the habit, it was one you had gained at the bright age of 15 from your sister and never looked back.
Just as you approached the main door to sit outside on the stairs, a familiar voice chirped up from behind you, surprise in his tone, "You smoke?"
You looked over your shoulder to see Declan, still dressed in his suit, minus the tie, unbuttoned to the chest. He plucked a cigarette from the packet in his pocket, letting it hang between his lips as he walked toward you. "It's fine, you can smoke in here, there's no need to go outside."
"I know, I just prefer it. It's a nice night out - no clouds so I reckon you could see the stars pretty clearly." You smiled, turning the handle and stepping out, leaving the door open behind you in case he chose to follow. He did, stepping out into the chill air beside you, the flick of his lighter the only sound between the pair as he lit his, before offering the flame to you. The silent communication between smokers was a language you knew well, leaning over with the cigarette between your lips, and Declan brought up his hand to cup in the direction of the wind, shielding it.
The night was as beautiful as you thought, the treeline being a lovely backdrop to the sky above, with stars twinkling in the clear night sky. You settled yourself on the step of the house, tucking your knees to your chest and pulling your cardigan closer to yourself as a breeze blew past them both. You broke the silence, as you had a habit of doing, "Can't sleep?"
"I don't fall asleep until the early hours most nights now without some help." Declan admitted, blowing out a breath of smoke. "Yourself?"
"Me neither." You agreed, "Self-inflicted, but for the most part there's nothing I need to be up for, if you understand me."
Declan hummed in agreement, letting the conversation drop off. Together, you sat in comfortable silence until you'd finished your respective cigarettes. You continued to sit, after flicking the end over to a pre-existing pile. "You don't need to stay out here just because I am."
"I know."
"It's cold, aren't you cold?"
"No, not really." He paused, a secondary layer of questioning under his next words, "Do you want to be alone?"
That was a question you had been pondering while you smoked, ever since you bumped into Declan before. The wine was clouding your judgement slightly, aiding to your honesty.
"No, I don't think so."
"Then I'll stay."
"Okay then."
Silence, again.
Then you asked a simple question, but a complicated one at the same time, "What you said earlier, how long have you felt like that?"
Declan knew immediately what you were talking about, and instinctively bit the inside of his lip. He reckoned he didn't know exactly when his opinion changed, he just knew when he stopped being so optimistic about it all. Maud, who was still legally his wife, didn't feel like a partner much these days. They lived such separate lives, he had no idea what she was doing day to day - just as she knew nothing of his life now.
"A while." He nodded, tired eyes looking out to the treeline. "It's a weird journey, it's not like there was one day I woke up and decided I couldn't keep going, I came to the realisation that it wasn't going to help anymore a few months ago."
"After she cheated?"
"After she cheated again." Declan corrected. "Then as soon as she came here, Rupert was all over her - and vice versa - and I think I knew it was never going to stop, even so far from the city. I don't want to have to move again just to stop all that."
"I get it." You agreed, leaning your head back to rest against the wall. "I stayed with my ex, after he cheated, thought he could change. He didn't, and I was naïve to think that he would." The memories still stung even though it had been months since you had broke things off, but the wine wasn't helping in that regard. "Not that you are- marriage is a different ball game entirely."
"Is it, though?" Declan sat down beside you, resting his elbows on his knees. "I thought she could change. She told me she could - that she had. I still love her, even though she cheated, and it stings."
"That's for you to decide, and by the sounds of it, you have." You tried to sound reassuring, but by the drop of Declan's smile across from you, it might not have been so helpful. You adjusted yourself to be able to look at him properly instead of just glancing over every so often. "It's not over, if that's what you think?"
"What do you mean?"
"You haven't run out of time to find someone else." You suggested, "I know it's still very raw, but rebounds are a real thing for a reason."
"I haven't even talked to her about it-"
"That doesn't mean shit and you know it." You let yourself speak freely, knowing partially the spirals you threw yourself in when you were in Declan's position. "She threw the relationship away as soon as she made the choice to sleep with someone else."
"Hey-"
"I'm sorry." You backtracked, seeing the same signs as your conversation earlier start to rise onto Declan's features, "I'll leave you be, sorry." You reiterated, going to stand, but Declan - like before - reached for you without words, asking you to stay for his sake over yours.
"It's alright, love." The nickname brought a smile to your lips, which was mirrored on Declan's as you sat back down outside. "I've felt the anger as well as all the moping."
"I know it's to be no better than them," You postured, to no one in particular, "but I considered cheating back just to know what all the fuss is about - is there something so exhilarating about it that makes it all make sense?" You bit at the skin on your lip, which as soon as you caught it, brushed your hand over it to try stop the habit, "I don't know. It was months ago but I'm still stuck on the 'why?' did he just not love me anymore? Was there some secret thing he didn't want to ask me to do so looked elsewhere to have that need satiated? It's stupid to think about it now, there's no way I'll ever get an answer from him-"
"It makes sense, though, doesn't it? To try and logically approach it…" Declan chimed in, evidently having done some similar thinking in his own time, "but, if my understanding of it is correct, it isn't based in logic - it's not a mastermind villain thing, it's out of desperation, not wanting to admit something to your partner so you fill it with someone else. Most of the time, from what I talked to Maud about, she didn't know how to talk to me about something, but felt more comfortable bringing it up with someone she had less ties to."
He pulled out another cigarette, offering the box to you, who took it with a smile, placing it between your fingers and reaching across for him to light it. You had a lighter, it was just easier to have Declan do it, at least that was how you rationalised it. You took a puff of it before responding with, "Very wise, more grounded than my approach, that's for certain."
"Wisdom comes with age, sometimes."
"It comes with experience, if you're shut off from the world, you can't exactly ponder on the nature of things you have no knowledge of."
"That's why I said sometimes." Declan added with a chuckle, lighting his own cigarette.
A thought came to you , one that was purely born from curiosity and nothing to do with your conversation in any substantial way, so you proposed, "Can I ask you something?"
"You can ask, I might not answer, though."
"Fair play." You took a moment to phrase the question in your head, looking at him to gauge his immediate reaction to your words, "If you were unspoken for, to put it nicely, what kind of woman would you go for?"
His eyebrows raised, his hand pausing on it's journey to put his cigarette up to his lips, instead falling to rest his forearm on his leg. His eyes broke from yours, looking to the gravel under his feet. He tapped the end of his cigarette, the ashes blowing away in the wind. "I'm not that picky, I'd say. Ideally, she'd be intelligent - at least to the point I can actually talk to her about the world."
Your mind flashed with memories of drunken philosophical talks and rants you've overheard over the months that you've known the O'Haras. Him and Taggie have had it out over life ideologies, with his daughter often taking the more optimistic approach and him the 'realist' outlook. It makes sense he would want someone he can stand toe to toe with in intellectual debate.
He pondered the question further, before continuing, "I'd want her to be passionate about her own hobbies, you know? I can't stand those wives who spend their days loitering around - it seems lifeless." His lips formed a scowl, a memory coming to the forefront of his mind transitioning it to a fond smile for a moment, "Maud, she used to be as busy as I was, and I loved her for it - she was always happier when she had a project. Then, as the years passed, she got placated by the repeat roles. Then it started to set in, the boredom, but by that point she lost the motivation to go to open calls and she just lounged around, trying to host parties to fill that social urge." He took a long breath out, "I can't do that anymore."
"I get it - I mean not exactly but I understand. Seeing your partner succeed and supporting them in that makes you realise why you fell in love with them all over again."
"Of course - it's a fluid thing," He agreed, a smile forming, "I hope, if things go the way I expect, that I could fall in love again."
"I said before, but there's no age limit to it. Taking that risk is timeless."
"Risk?"
"It is a risk - in my opinion - to fall in love with someone, especially if you don't know if they feel the same way. Even if you aren't in love, to put your heart out there takes courage." You blew out a cloud of smoke, "At least that's how it feels."
Declan hummed in recognition, "Of course." Something stirred in his chest, the process of moving on already having started. It was hard to think of a future so unfamiliar to what he's known, but it wasn't as daunting a concept as it had been a month ago. There were kind people, behind all of the rich folk who populated the valley, in the most unexpected places.
You shivered in the cold, the wine wearing off enough to catch a chill. You finished the rest of your cigarette, putting it out on the stone of the stair. "I'm going to head back inside, if that's alright?"
He looked up at you as you stood, bidding you farewell with a nod as he looked ahead to finish his second cigarette. "Goodnight, love. I might see you in the morning if you're still around."
"Goodnight, Declan."

January 1984*
It’s cute, really. Whenever one of you slip and you feel a clatter of your two front teeth hit his, Gareth muffles out ‘sorry,’ but you couldn’t care less. You slot your lips against his over and over again, while melting deeper into his touch.
The taste of his breath. The tenderness of his hands gracing your thighs. Teasing and testing the waters of too far or just far enough. Your heart beats bounce against one another.
Somewhere in the background, film credits bounce across a black screen. You’ve lost the plot a while ago, and you don’t really care to find out what you’ve missed.
Gareth has snuck you into his home, while his mom is at work. It’s a perfectly snowy afternoon that should have kept her longer than it usually does to drive back home. Since the weather was worsening, Sarah worried for her son. She’s come home early.
Footsteps nearing separate you in a flash. Too little too late. She stands with a hand on her hip, and a folded lip that tells him exactly how much trouble he’s gotten himself into.
“It’s late,” you purposefully skip kissing Gareth ‘goodbye’ due to sheer embarrassment. Waving a short hand at Miss Jones, you scamper out of there faster than a rabbit being chased by a hunter.
Gareth wants to shrink into the couch, but offers an ice breaking smile.
“Dining room,” his mom instructs.
This is where all serious conversations happen. Whenever Gareth is flunking out of a class, he gets a lecture in the dining room. Or, when he scratched paint off of his mom’s car because he rode his bike too close. Dining room lecture.
Now, what?
As most of the lectures go, Gareth is sat across from his mom. She lays her hands on the table flat, as though she’s counting the knuckles in each hand. This is a common technique to calm her from her frustrations, or too think properly over what she’s about to say.
“Gareth,” she begins. “I’m very happy you’re in a relationship with someone you really like. It’s not appropriate to have her here when I’m not here. Especially, like that.”
“Mom,” Gareth squirms.
“Don’t slouch.”
He rolls his shoulders back.
“Are you-,” she wants to be there less than he does. But, the least she can do is make sure that he’s respecting you. “Are you safe?”
Completely red in the face, Gareth digs his nails into the wood of the chair he sits in. You’re not even there yet in your relationship. How could she ruin something good, before it even happens?
“Because you know- you can buy condoms at the store. I- I could pick you up a box.”
Gareth puts his head down.
“Sit up,” she taps the table. “This is important.”
“Mom,” he groans, “you cannot buy me condoms.”
“I could- just this once. It’s not just for you, you know.”
“I’m going to bed,” Gareth pushes out his chair.
“There are diseases!” She warns all but too late. Her son has scampered away to his room upstairs. The door shuts quietly.
-> <-
It’s later in the evening when Gareth rises from his nap. At the time, he’s forgotten the earlier conversation with his mom. He assumes it’s safe to come downstairs.
While he rummaged through the fridge for a snack, he overhears his mom on the phone. Judging by her pitch, the call is important.
“Gareth,” she urges from the dining room.
With few words, she hands the telephone over to Gareth. Trading him the phone for his snack, she dives out of view into the living room. There’s only one person that could be on the other line that she so willingly gave up the phone for.
“Dad?” Gareth speaks into the telephone.
“Hey, kiddo,” he bellows, “your mom wants me to talk to you about some things.”
“Oh my god,” Gareth covers the phone with his left hand. Shouting to his mother, he says, “You called, dad?!”

Forever my Liege
Tumblr media
Summary: For years he’s stood by his side, what started as just another guard posting turned into a friendship, a partnership. The line became blurred long ago, but Jayce just happened to be the one to act on those desires.
Medieval AU
WC: 5405
A/N: I have NEVER written JayVik so I’m really hoping this isn’t a complete mess! I was inspired by this art by the insanely talented @shuploc !
“W-We can’t” the hushed words of apprehension from the prince were quickly silenced by the other’s mouth. The feeling of cool armor felt almost icy through the prince’s court attire. Despite his words of concern, he was returning the kiss just as greedily as his guard was. The larger man’s arm wrapped around his waist, taking the weight off his leg without thinking, pressing him against the wall of the empty hallway. “J-Jayce” Through the armor the soldier couldn’t feel the hand that was resting against his breastplate, that is, until the prince managed to press harder against it, making the man reluctantly pull his lips away. “Not here.” Something as simple of a command was driving him crazy, now that he had had a taste, everything had changed.
Jayce was panting, still holding the smaller man by the waist, eyes glued to the way Viktor’s lips glistened with their shared saliva. “You’re right.” With a heavy swallow he forced the answer out, he carefully let go of the man’s narrow waist, allowing the weight he had been holding to slowly and evenly be put back on the prince’s right leg. He didn’t miss the way his nose scrunched when the full weight was released, his grip on the cane tightening out of view. “I’m sorry” Jayce stood up straight, stepping away to leave a respectable distance between them. He watched as Viktor stepped away from the wall, walking around his guard and starting down the long hallway, the sound of his cane echoing off the barren stone walls.
Jayce kept a few steps behind him, watching as Viktor leaned more heavily on his cane with each step. Completely missing the way his tongue ran along his lower lip, savoring what little taste the guard had left there. “You’re limping more than usual.”
“It’s been a long day.” The sound of his own armor as he moved seemed almost deafening as they walked in stretched silence, he was desperate for some sort of conversation, but knowing full well the prince wasn’t one for meaningless chatter.
“I could- I could carry y-“
”Absolutely not!”
“Your satchel.” Viktor’s gait was thrown off by the leather bag he used to carry his numerous notes and books between his office and quarters, today however, it seemed especially heavy, likely burdened with even more notes from the court meeting he was forced to attend.
“Oh, y-yes that would be -“ He paused, allowing the bag to slide off his shoulder, not even having a chance to offer it before it was taken by the guard’s noticeably warm hand.
Jayce threw the bag over his shoulder was an ease Viktor never had. A strength that he always knew the larger man possessed but until a few moments ago had never gotten to witness first hand. The ease at which his full weight had been lifted, even for those far too brief breathes, he hadn’t felt that kind of relief in quite a few years.
“Did you think I was going to offer to carry you?” He could hear the smirk Jayce was fighting to smother. ”I’m not new.” Viktor looked down in an attempt to hide his smile, but like he had said, Jayce wasn’t new, he knew what would get a smile out of the prince.
When the prince turned down the dead end hallway of his bedroom, Jayce wanted to comment, wanted to point out that he didn’t remember the last time he had willingly chosen to go to his room before the wee hours of the morning, and even that took quite a bit of convincing from the guard. But he knew how hardheaded the man could be, so opted to swallow the words instead.
In the early days of his job, Viktor hadn’t allowed him past the threshold of his private quarters but as their bond grew, his boundaries began to dissolve. Almost every night, Jayce would follow Viktor into his bedroom, the door closed behind him as they would often discuss Viktor’s latest theories as he went about his nightly routines. Jayce had grown comfortable,content in the company of the prince, as had Viktor. Possibly too comfortable, hence the kiss.
Jayce sat the heavy bag on the desk that was piled high with papers, careful not to accidentally knock anything over. Viktor sat slowly on his bed, leaning his cane against the edge as he started untying his cape so he could begin pulling at the lacing that ran along the side of his vest.
As he pulled at the laces, tugging at the corseted pattern, Jayce couldn't help but stare longingly at those nimble, pale fingers. For the first time in what felt like weeks, his nails were free of grease from his lab, having been forced to attend a court council meeting instead of working away on his own. “Jayce,” The sound of his name in the accented voice startled his gaze up to meet Viktor’s. “You’re staring.”
“I- sorry” What was he supposed to say in this situation? He wanted to stare, wanted to help him undress, lay in bed beside him rather than stand at his post outside his door.
“Do you want to talk about what happened in the hallway?” The laces finally gave way, allowing Viktor to pull the vest over his head, leaving him in his loose fitting white shirt, the thin fabric cascading off his shoulders, making him seem wider then Jayce knew he was.
“If you want to.” Jayce tried to stand as tall and unwavering as he could, but the longer Viktor stared at him with those honey coloured eyes, the more he wanted to leave, take up his post outside the prince’s door and hide from the crushing rejection that he knew was bound to come.
“We don’t have to, if it makes you uncomfortable, but I would prefer if we could get the talk out of the way so we might repeat the event in privacy.” The tone in which Viktor spoke made Jayce almost miss the words he was saying. His voice was so procedural, similar to the tone he used when explaining his work and theories to the knight.
“It was a lapse in-“ There was a pause, Jayce could feel his heart pound behind his breast plate as the words the prince said finally sank in. “Wait,”
Viktor leaned forward, beginning to tug at the bindings of his brace so he could remove his trousers that were trapped beneath. The ease at which this man was able to move about his nightly routine after saying something as important as he just had would never make sense to Jayce, no matter how many years he had stood by his side.
“Sometimes I question how much of what I say really gets through your head.” His tone was light, as though Jayce could hear the smile that was obscured from him as he unbuckled the final section of his brace. As Viktor moved, trying to raise his right leg so he could slip the brace off, he sharply sucked in a breath, forcing Jayce from his racing thoughts and bringing him to the prince’s side.
“Can I-“ His words faded, knowing Viktor knew what he was asking for without need for a complete sentence. Viktor pulled his hands from his thigh, allowing the larger man to hold his calf carefully with one hand, using the other to guide the brace off of him. “It’s worse today” Jayce hadn’t fully intended to say those words out loud.
Jayce stood up, bringing the brace with him and placing it on the bench that sat at the bottom of the prince’s enormous bed. When he looked back to Viktor, he saw the man beginning to pull at the laces of his trousers, which evoked a stirring in his lower stomach that he could quickly name, but would rather ignore for the time being. “Is there anything else you need, V- my Liege?” He cleared his throat, resting a hand on the pommel of his sword, mentally reminding himself of their relationship, a relationship that had remained unchanged for years. Jayce was his guard, his protector. That was his job.
Despite that reminder, Jayce couldn't deny the way his heart broke a bit when he saw the momentary hurt in Viktor’s eyes before he was able to revert back to the emotionless mask he wears as they walk down the halls of the castle. “You’re leaving” it wasn't a question but a statement.
“You need to rest,” For the sake of avoiding seeing the hurt in Viktor’s eyes again, Jayce opted to drop the title, knowing it was never something the prince particularly liked and had been dropped very early on in their relationship.
”I’m fine.” The prince bit back, his gaze sharp, golden eyes boring into the knight’s armor as though it would actually do damage.
“Tell me what you want me to do.”
“I already told you.” Jayce met Viktor’s eyes again, his dark brows furrowed, nose scrunched slightly and lips parted. The front of his pants were undone, and his hands were balled on his thighs.
“Is it a good idea?” Jayce stepped closer to the bed, watching as Viktor leaned back, holding himself propped up with his hands, his gaze softening the moment he knew he was about to get exactly what he wanted. When Jayce was within reach, he saw the way Viktor pressed his hand to his chest plate, palm spread wide across the cool metal.
“I don’t remember you asking me that when you kissed me in the hallway where anyone could have seen us.” By the time the words were out of Viktor’s mouth, Jayce was already leaning down, their lips inches apart.
When their lips met for the second time that night, there was no room for hesitation, neither person was questioning if this was a good idea, they knew it probably wasn’t but that was no longer going to hold them back.
Jayce swallowed Viktor’s moans as the kiss quickly deepened. It didn’t take long before Viktor was tugging Jayce on top of him, laying back on his bed and encouraging the other man to join him.
“J-Jayce,” the prince pulled back from his guard’s lips, allowing his head to be cushioned by the plush bedding, his dark hair creating a halo against the navy duvet. “The armor, can you…can it come off?” His breathing was laboured, his lips a little pinker than normal. There was a beat of silence, it was clear that Jayce was weighing his options, but ultimately he stepped off the bed and began working the buckles of his chest plate, followed by his pauldrons. The way in which Jayce’s fingers moved from armor piece to armor piece was fascinating to Viktor, who was so enthralled that he jumped when the last piece of armor was dropped.
Viktor couldn’t remember if he had ever seen Jayce without any armor on before. Left only in a thin white shirt and dark brown trousers, Jayce appeared so much more human. Despite having not returned to his spot on top of Viktor, he could feel heat radiating from his guard. “This feels like a bad idea, Vik.” The prince sat up, cocking his head slightly to one side.
“You already said that.”
“N-no not this,” he gestured between the two of them. “I mean, I’m still on duty. What if something happens, what if you’re put in danger?”
“Then there would be no place safer for me then here with you.” Jayce would never get tired of listening to Viktor speak, every word that came from his thin lips were like a siren’s song to him. His words seem to completely melt the guard’s hesitation once again, the larger man wasting no more time resuming his spot on top of his prince.
Their lips slot together as though they were made for one another, hands finding purchase anywhere they could as their tongues began exploring the other’s mouth. Moans swallowed by one another before Jayce felt Viktor’s spindly hands on his chest, pushing him back enough to force their lips apart enough to speak. “Jayce-“ Hazel eyes met gold, foreheads pressed together as Jayce brought one hand up to cup Viktor’s angular cheek. “Could we-“ He squirmed underneath the larger man “Could we reposition, perhaps?” Jayce was on his feet before the words were even fully out of Viktor’s mouth.
Viktor was a bit slower to sit up, scooting himself back towards the pillows, taking a bit more care to straighten his leg that had been bent over the edge of the bed for a prolonged amount of time. As Jayce stood there, watching the smaller man get comfortable, his gaze averted to moving the pillow up higher to support his neck and head, the guard sheepishly adjusted himself, hoping the other man wouldn’t notice. And if Jayce hadn’t been so preoccupied about hiding his arousal, he may have noticed the way Viktor’s face pinked, his gaze having turned towards his guard at just the right moment to see exactly what Jayce hoped he hadn’t.
Unsure of what to say in this moment, worried whatever words he picked would be wrong, Viktor awkwardly cleared his throat, startling Jayce’s gaze to meet his before he climbed onto the bed. Instead of resuming the same position they had been in before, Jayce instead sat on Viktor’s left side, allowing his body to sink into the insanely plush bed and pillows. After taking a moment to appreciate that this bed may be the most comfortable thing he’s ever sat on, he turned to Viktor, noticing the way his golden eyes were moving up and down his form.
His big hand cupped his cheek again, drawing him in until their lips met again, Viktor’s body melting into Jayce’s. This new position allowed for the prince’s hands to roam along his guard’s body. Starting instinctually on his chest, balling the thin, loose fabric of his shirt in his hand before releasing it, his hand pressing against his firm pectoral, his heat radiating. His fingers moved along the muscle, noticing the way the other man would moan into the kiss as his hands got lower, feeling the way dense pectorals gave way to his stomach, which while still being covered in muscle had a bit more meat to it. His hand slipped underneath the fabric before he could really even give it a second thought.
He wasn’t surprised when his fingers brushed over a thin sheen of hair across his chest, his fingers running along the hills and valley that made up his private guard, trying his best to commit every part of him to memory. “D-do you want-“Jayce pulled back but smiled as Viktor chased his lips, allowing himself to get lulled into another kiss, this time shorter than before, pulling his lips back as he used the hand that was on the prince’s narrow waist to hold him back. “Do you want me to take this off?” Viktor’s golden eyes were searching Jayce’s face for something, anything to indicate there was even an ounce of hesitation, and Jayce was doing the exact same thing.
“Y-yes, that would- yes.” The larger man couldn’t smother the smile as he sat up and began pulling his shirt over his head, feeling Viktor’s eyes on him as he tossed the shirt over the side of the bed, returning to his side again.
Viktor’s hands were on him before Jayce could even get a word out. Hands running across his chest, thumbs swiping over his nipples while watching his expression intently. “Jayce” The prince purred, his lips moving against the other man’s not wanting to pull away and lose the contact. “Could I- I would like to be on top of you.” For the first time in their partnership, Jayce could actually hear the fluster in the prince’s voice, and when he pulled back it was plain to see how pink the man’s cheeks were.
”Y-yeah of course, but won’t that hurt your leg?”
“Jayce,” Viktor’s hand moved from the larger man’s chest, cupping the knight’s cheek. “I live with pain every moment of every day, it’s stopped me from doing countless things. But I don’t intend to let it get in the way of this.” Jayce moved both hands to the smaller man’s waist, picking him up with ease and moving him carefully to straddle his hips.
“If it hurts too much or you want me to move you, ju-“
”I’ll tell you.” Seeing Viktor on top of him was enough to make his cock throb, which due to the position change, they were both acutely aware of. Viktor held himself up with his two hands pressed against Jayce’s chest, his hips wiggling against his growing erection as he watched the knight’s eyelids begin to grow heavy with arousal, his lips parting as his breath turned into light pants. ”I’m not sure I’ve ever seen you speechless.” Viktor had always been conscious of how his voice affected the knight, but now more than ever he could feel how it affected him. The only sound Jayce was able to make was a mix between a whimper and a moan that got caught at the back of his throat. “I certainly never expected you would be so excitable.” The large hands that still supported the prince’s body clenched. “Have you imagined this before?” Another whimper as Jayce fought to keep his eyes open, caught between not wanting to take his eyes off the prince and the pleasure becoming overwhelming. “Is this what you think about when you go back to the gatehouse?”
“Gods” Even though Viktor knew that was confirmation enough, he so desperately wanted to hear the admission.
“Come now Jayce,” He leaned down so he could press his lips to the man’s breast. “I want to hear you say it.” Viktor’s lips moved up his chest towards his neck where he started to nip at his guard’s pulse point, breathing in the smell of sweat and the metal of his armor that stuck to his skin. “That’s an order, knight.”
“Damnit yes! Every night Viktor, I think of you every single ah every night.” His voice was strained as he fought back the moans that were trying to slip out between each word.
“What do you imagine?”
“Everything”
”I want details” As he waited rather impatiently, Viktor continued to nip at the man’s neck, sucking dark bruises closer to his shoulder, knowing his armor would cover it in the morning.
“You on me like this, you under me.”
“Mm and which do you prefer?” Viktor started to slowly rut against the guard, both of their erections sliding against one another through their layers of clothes.
“Vik” His tone was a mix of embarrassment and arousal, silently begging him to stop this line of questioning that was causing him to throb.
“I suppose you wouldn’t be able to answer that,” He nipped at Jayce’s Adam’s apple playfully. “Since you still have yet to see me under you.”
“Vik please!” Jayce had never acted this needy for anyone in his life, maybe it was the layers of clothing that was driving him crazy or the fact that he was already so close, but he was completely at the man’s whim.
“What do you need, Jayce?”
“Contact!” The word shot from his mouth as though he had been fighting against it for hours and it had finally won. The prince felt no need to answer him, opting instead to push himself back up into a seated position before reaching down to the tented trousers that had been sandwiched between their stomachs. The buttons separated easier than his own laces would, making the task of fishing his cock out much quicker.
The second his hand wrapped around Jayce’s cock the larger man moaned so loud you would have thought he finished. The feeling of a cock other than his own in his hand didn’t feel as foreign as the prince expected. And as he stroked it the way he would his own he noticed the way it throbbed in his hand, pre cum already beaded from the head. ”Is this what you wanted?” Viktor asked genuinely.
”Yes, you’re doing- Gods exactly like that!” Viktor swiped his thumb over the tip, dragging the pre cum down his shaft before running the pad of his thumb along his frenulum, noticing the way Jayce’s stomach tensed.
“Vik-“ Jayce clenched and unclenched his jaw as he tried to restrain himself enough to piece together a few coherent sentences. “C-can you- or I could-t-touch you“ Not quite the coherent sentence he had hoped for but he could tell by the way Viktor’s eyebrows raised and his lips pursed that the meaning had come across perfectly.
“I suppose you could, if you want.” Jayce relinquished his hold on the prince’s waist in order to push himself up the bed, moving so he was sitting up against the headboard so he was closer to his partner. His hands went to the sides of Viktor’s billowing shirt, grabbing the fabric in his hands but pausing when he noticed the way the prince’s eyes widened.
“Can I take this off?”
���N- it’s…you can.” The way he seemed conflicted made Jayce pause, giving him a few moments to search the man’s expression for some sort of hint as to the reason for his discomfort.
“It can stay on, Vik, there’s no pressure.”
“I have a brace…another brace.” Jayce stayed quiet, giving him the space to give him more information if he wanted. “It’s…I didn’t want it to bother you.”
“Have I ever given you any reason to think anything about you would bother me?” Jayce brought his hand to Viktor’s pinked cheek, running his thumb along his bottom lip as the prince shook his head. “You don’t have to take it off, but don’t keep it on for my account.” Viktor’s hand let go of Jayce’s cock, moving to the hem of his shirt and slowly raising it under he could pull his arms and head from the garment.
Jayce made a mental note to ask him about the brace, not its purpose but its creation. He could tell from the fine craftsmanship that the prince had made it himself, but he got the sense that if he let his eyes linger on it much longer it may make his partner self conscious.
Jayce moved his hands to the prince’s hips, feeling the straps of his brace as he ran his thumb over them. When hazel met gold again, something felt different. As though, much like Jayce shedding his armor, Viktor was laid bare in front of him. There was a vulnerability that the guard had never seen in those ore coloured eyes, and as though he needed more of a reason to protect the man on his lap, he knew this was going to awaken something inside of him.
Neither of them knew which one leaned in first, but when their lips met this kiss wasn’t like the others. It was slow and relaxed, giving their hands time to wander. Jayce’s cock still stood between them, pre cum sliding down his neglected shaft. Viktor’s body tensed slightly when he felt the large hands pull at the loosened laces of his trousers, forcing Jayce to break the kiss worried he had gone too far. “Is this okay?” Viktor’s eyes opened, his head pulling back slightly to nod before watching how Jayce’s tan and rugged hands pulled at the laces until they slipped from the eyes of his pants. “If you want me to stop, just say so.” With bated breath Viktor watched as Jayne reached into his pants, sucking in a breath when he felt the man’s warm hand wrap around his own erection.
Jayce’s hand felt so much different then his own. The warmth that encompassed his erection was unmatched, his hand was so much larger then his own, his grip tighter too. Neither of the men had soft hands by any means, but the knight’s were far rougher, calloused from years of training. As Jayce stroked his cock with a tight fist, Viktor was too overwhelmed to hold himself up anymore, slumping forward to rest his forehead against the larger man’s shoulder. His breathing turned shallow, the occasional moan slipping out.
For the briefest of moments Jayce’s grip was gone, almost causing Viktor to sit up and question what happened. That was until his grip returned, tighter then before and pressing something flush to his own cock. “Jayce what’re y-“ he moved his head enough to look down at their laps only to see Jayce’s hand encircling both of their cock, stroking them together.
“Is this- fuck- is this okay?” Viktor nodded against his shoulder, fighting the urge to close his eyes and get lost in the pleasure. It took all his self control to move his head from the guard’s shoulder to press their foreheads together. Both men’s mouths were open, their breaths intermingling as their eyes locked as much as they could with heavy lids. “I w-won’t last much- much longer, V.” Jayce’s voice was wavering, his hand speeding up to the point where the sound of his pre cum covered palm was squelching against their erection. “Are you- are you close?” Viktor nodded, his lips moving in the shape of a yes but the sound never came out.
Viktor was the first to finish, a breathy whine leaving his open mouth seconds before Jayce’s moans filled the room more than either man really understood, both their cum pooling on the knight’s stomach. As Jayce’s hand slowly kept stroking them, to the point of overstimulation making Viktor’s stomach tense and hips begin to pull back.
Neither man spoke as they pulled away, Jayce helped Viktor off his lap, taking extra care to help him lay back on his side of the bed with minimal pressure on his leg. Only leaving the prince’s side to grab a cloth to clean them both off as Viktor wiggled out of his trousers as he waited for his guard to return.
“Will you stay?” Viktor’s words seemed deafening after such a long stretch of silence.
“I’ll be just outside the door.” Jayce muttered as he finished sopping up the mixture of their mess from his lower stomach. The silence sat heavy between them, so much so that Jayce made no movement towards the pieces of his discarded armor that sat at the foot of the bed. “This is already risky enough, don’t you think?”
“It’s not like you’ll be far away from me if you stay.” Viktor stated matter of factly, allowing himself to sink into the plush pillows that covered the headboard. “Please?” Jayce’s resolve lasted all of two breaths before he was moving to grab his sword, returning to the bed and placing the weapon within arm’s reach as he sank into the mattress.
Jayce pulled the prince into his chest, feeling his stomach squeeze when the prince’s hands grabbed his face, pulling him down until their lips met again. It wasn’t long before Jayce was hunched over the prince, their lips moving together as though they had been together for decades. As the kiss deepened and hands began to wander once more, Jayce’s thigh found its way between the prince’s.
Soft knuckles met the heavy oak door of the bedroom, the sound seemed equvielent to a crash of thunder on a desolate night causing both men to freeze but their lips didn’t part, Viktor’s hands didn’t untangle from Jayce’s mussed locks and the knight made no move to pull his thigh from between the prince’s legs.
“Um Pr-Viktor?” Viktor relaxed slightly when he recognized the voice to be Sky, the daughter of a noble family who often joined her father when he came to council meetings. The prince had been warming up to her, something that was rarely done. She once asked what he was reading when she came to the castle grounds to pick up some documents and had stumbled upon the prince’s office by accident. She would ask about his latest projects, seeing as she was one of the few people that Viktor actually believed understood most of what he was talking about. “I was just d-dropping off that book you lent me,”
”You lent her a book?” Jayce whispered, parting their lips and meeting Viktor’s gaze as he fought back a moan when the guard’s lips pressed to his pulse point.
“I did.”
”Normally your guard would be outside your door, but I um, I checked your office and you weren’t there but a maid mentioned she saw you two heading towards your room so…Is everything okay?”
“Sky,” Viktor tried, but his voice cracked slightly, electing a snicker from the other man above him. ”You can-you can just leave it outside the door.”
“Are you okay? Where’s Sir Jayce?” Every word she spoke was dripping in concern and while the prince appreciated her worry, he was desperate to get her to leave so their night might continue the way he hoped it would.
“I’m fine, J-Jayce had to step away for a bit, but he’ll get the book when he’s back.” It was hard for Viktor to even piece that lie together as Jayce’s thigh pressed harder between his legs, making his head drop back against the pillows, puffing out a sigh when he heard Sky start to speak again.
“O-Okay, if you’re sure.” She stopped speaking but neither of them heard her footsteps. “Viktor?” Jayce pressed his leg even harder between his, forcing the prince to press his hand over his mouth to keep any unsavoury sounds from slipping out where Sky could hear.
“Yes Sky?” One of Jayce’s hands came up to tip Viktor’s head to one side, giving him more access to the Prince’s long pale neck so he could press increasingly sloppy kisses lower towards his chest. It was taking every ounce of self control Viktor possessed at this moment to swallow the sounds that were fighting to slip from his lips.
“Will I still see you tomorrow?” Jayce could feel the groan more than hear it, Viktor’s blunt nails digging into his muscled sides as the nips on his neck were becoming far too distracting.
“Y-yes of course” his voice was shaky at this point, and both men hoped that Sky wasn’t able to piece together what was happening behind the unlocked door.
“I’ll see you then, good night Viktor.” Viktor attempted to return the same sentiment but when he opened his mouth to speak, the only sound that left it was a wanton moan that thankfully was muffled by the back of his hand.
“Shall I go get your book?” His lips moved against Viktor’s neck, smiling against him when he felt the smaller man melt into the bed in relief, nodding.
When Jayce sat up, turning so his legs were dangling off the high bed he looked back at the Prince. His earth brown hair was tousled against the cream pillow case, his eyelids seemed heavier than normal and there was a light blush creeping from his cheeks down his neck. He had never looked so breathtaking. “Jayce,” the larger man would never get tired of hearing his name in that accented voice, now thick with want. “My book” as though he had forgotten the purpose of sitting up and was now reminded, he was on his feet clearing the distance between the bed and the bedroom door.
Without a thought in the world he wrenched the door open, stepping outside slightly and bending down to retrieve the tome. “Hurry up” the prince called from bed, causing Jayce to turn his head to look back at the man he had left behind, but before he could, he caught a small figure in his peripheral vision, stopping him dead in his tracks.
Whether it was in opportune timing that Sky happened to be walking by the mouth of the hallway at the exact moment Jayce was retrieving the book, shirtless, bed head and pants tented more than he wanted to admit, or if she had been waiting in hopes of seeing the prince, they couldn’t be sure. But when Jayce and Sky’s eyes met he hoped and prayed she wouldn’t utter a word about it.

"I am nothing if not a gentleman using my speech to weave my way back into your good graces. In the end, does the reason for our parting truly matter now that we have each other again?"
Tumblr media
"Indeed, the timeline is only upheld by strict order and precise law. The creation of the weapon just teeters on the edge of unnatural, but it does offer the hesitancy one would feel exposing their sacred bodies." Cronus mused lightly, filing away the problem of the Kingslayer for a different time. The god returned his attention back on the woman, her fair skin and alluring eyes very reminiscent of what Bellora looked like. "Now, now, Bellora," He reached out a hand and gently brushed his fingers along her jaw, "You would not leave my bedchambers had you been in your original form standing before me. I must respect your vessel's free will. It is her body, after all. But believe me," Cronus' voice lowered deeply, "I would not hesitate either."
Always the poet, Cronus, how I have missed your waxing prose. Basking in your glory always makes me forget why we even parted in the first place.
Tumblr media
I can feel the realms shifting as if they were my very bones, darling. I embrace it, but I know that this goes against the 'order' you covet—I will express caution. I am hesitant to show my true form, seeing as the handler of my errant Knight now has a borderline god-killing weapon. Once I assess the situation, I'll leave my vessel– for now, you will have to get used to her if you wish me to remain at your side, as I would not hesitate. I have missed you as well.

thinking about pirate captain sea and surgeon jimmy like
Tumblr media
#like sea as a fearsome pirate captain whose ship gets attacked either by another pirate crew or by the navy#they manage to win but they suffer great losses#one of which is their surgeon#and since many people on his crew ended up injured sea decides to take on a passenger ship hoping to find a doctor#or at least a medicine chest#he gets lucky and does indeed find a doctor (jimmy of course)#and like i don't have a clear plot in mind but the dynamic would be so delicious#sea kidnapping jimmy and being ready to bribe him with a share of their plunder to convince him to help his crew#but jimmy is a doctor through and through and he would never let someone die without at least trying to help them#even if that someone is a pirate#on the other hand jimmy believing that pirates are heartless but then witnessing sea being ready to do anything to save his crew#even following jimmy's orders as sea helped him with each man#and after a while jimmy notices that sea is favoring his left side and having a hard time breathing#so he realizes that sea got hurt as well but didn't say anything because for him his crew comes first#and as jimmy patches him up sea does end up offering him a share of the loot for his services but jimmy refuses because that would make him#and sea laughs because saving a pirate's life would already be enough for the world to consider jimmy a pirate himself#so sea just promises him to let him go as soon as they get to shore#and suddenly jimmy finds himself in a weird position because the crew respects him and treats him well#and it's hard to remember these men are supposed to be violent and cruel when they're just laughing and helping each other's out#WHY DID GMMTV GIVE ME A PIRATE CONCEPT NOW IM OBSESSED#m: txt

More WIPs from a project that was supposed to be a quick joke and is now A Whole Thing!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here is a preliminary Hikari, and Samo's big brother! He has also escaped his genre, and he is not aware that most of the things he says sound incredibly threatening! Although only Hikari seems to notice anyway. (Luckily for Hikari, he really is a nice guy!)
@adamofingolstadt - a Hikari for you! 😊
#wips#i escaped my genre#once I finish these pieces I will post them with full image descriptions#original characters#the brother character has the same issue as tatsu from way of the house husband. he's a sweet guy who always sounds like a murderer!#Ya know for the last 2 years or so I have been pouring my heart and soul into a graphic novel (link to drafts in my blog description;#I've been told they are fun to read!) but somehow I have posted less art from that than I have for this! 😅 at least as far as tumblr goes.#There's a bunch on ao3. all this is quite alright tho - Silly side projects are actually absolutely vital to keep my love of art alive#and in the long run it will actually help me build the skills and passion I need to finish my novel!#I'm just hoping i have the juice to finish all this stuff in the next week so I can get back to the novel#but I am ultimately subject to whatever the ADHD decides. I hope if I take a break from this that I do come back to finish my other pieces#I am getting faster though. I drew both of these pieces in one day and also have time to work on the comic.#today was a wildly productive day. tomorrow I am going to concentrate on being a vegetable. 😤#I must respect my body's rare gift of productivity by offering it rest and care.#I may change hikari's design a little bit but I think it's looking pretty good. added the ear piercings bc of the wonderful fan art I got!#honestly the fan art may be better than what I've made here - the bat with nails and the hands were SO good

〃★ 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬 ⎯ You’ve been a good wife—you really have! But when your husband’s boss confronts you about him cheating with his secretary, you just can’t help but take up his offer to get back at him.
〃★ 𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐬 ⎯ nanami x fem!reader, gojo x fem!reader, Sukuna x fem!reader, geto x fem!reader, cheating (not reader), smut (mdni), exhibitionism (sukuna, gojo), slight n⍣pple play, slight cl⍣t play, slight creamp⍣e (geto), full Nelson (gojo), office s⍣x.
〃★ 𝐚/𝐧 ⎯ I was gonna add toji but realized his broke assss not the boss of anyone🤧
Tumblr media Tumblr media
────〃ଘ 𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐈 𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐎 - NICE ‘N SLOW
The wooden legs of his desk scrapped against the floor with every deep thrust, important paperwork scattered all over from how much he had you squirming from his slow, calculated movements. Your nails dug into the wood, scratching and latching onto the edge as your back arched, a cry of pleasure bubbling from your throat.
Was this wrong somehow? No. Your cheating scum of a husband should receive the treatment he’s given you. And you almost wished he’d walk in on the sight of his boss balls deep in his wife. Well, ex-wife, anyway.
Nanami leaned in to your ear and you shivered, feeling his breath fan past your neck, smelling his cologne and—fuck, you could feel his muscles through this suit against your back. “Hope you’ve finally found your worth. He never deserved you.”
His words entered one ear and came out the other with how hazy he had you feeling, cock penetrating you over and over in a cycle that had you feeling delirious. Your head spun, and the world seemed to blur from existence—except for Nanami; his hands, his words, his voice.
“I’ll make you feel better—cum better than he ever has.”
────〃ଘ 𝐆𝐎𝐉𝐎 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐔 - I’LL DO IT INSTEAD
Now, Satoru had always had his eyes on you. From the very first moment you came into the office, bringing your husband his forgotten lunch, he knew he had to have you. The whole interaction left him feeling bitter anyway—he only waved you off after he grabbed his lunch and refused to kiss you in front of his colleagues.
What kind of man was he?
Satoru had no problem fucking you in front of him, though.
You watched your husband’s wide eyes, embarrassed but basking in your sweet revenge. A smirk graced Satoru’s lips, his own focused on your husband’s flickering gaze from how he split your cunt open so lewdly to your bouncing tits as if in a trance.
“‘S how’s it feel? Watching your pretty little wife get ruined?” He breathed, strong arms folding you further into the full Nelson position he had you locked in. “You turned on, hm? Seein’ her lil’ cunt get fucked?”
Your eyes closed and your tongue lolled out, head thrown back onto Satoru’s shoulder as your hand came down to pinch your pulsing clit in circles.
Satoru peppered kisses upon your jawline and stopped by your ear. “Why don’t you tell him how good ‘m making you feel?”
────〃ଘ 𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐔𝐍𝐀 𝐑𝐘𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍 - DO IT BETTER!
You’d always had your eye out for your husband’s particularly hot and intimidating boss, though you’d always stray your gaze away from him out of respect and loyalty. Respect and loyalty that your husband never seemed to reciprocate.
And when his boss finally confirmed that he was cheating on you—you’d finally given into your fantasy of fucking him.
But this isn’t how you imagined your fantasy would go.
Everyone’s eyes were glued to you, either out of fear of what Sukuna would do or out of pure infatuation from how wet your cunt was. You sat on Sukuna’s lap, legs spread open for anyone and everyone to see—even your spouse whose face was a mix of anger and confusion.
He didn’t have the right to be mad right now.
You were almost about to curse him out when Sukuna slid in with one swift thrust. Your breath caught in your throat, tears already welling in your eyes as he began to move without giving you even a second to adjust to his abnormal size.
He bounced you on his lap, heavy balls smacking against your ass so loudly it resonated throughout the meeting room. His big hands groped your chest though your blouse, practically ripping it off you.
“I’ll show you fuckers how to properly fuck a pretty lil’ thing like her.”
────〃ଘ 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐔𝐆𝐔𝐑𝐔 - LIKE YOU DESERVE
Heat creeped up into your face. You hadn’t expected your day to amount to anything—considering your husband’s boss had told you about his affair just a day before—but there you were, sat on the same man’s lap as he fucked up into your cunt.
I’ll fuck you like you deserve. Those were his words—the words that got you here in the first place.
Suguru’s fingers toyed with the hood of your clit, pinching the nub of nerves in such a gentle yet pleasurable way that had shocks of electricity rocking through you. Your legs shook and quivered with how wide he had you spread them, muscles beginning to feel sore after some amount of time.
But Suguru hadn’t had his fill yet, he had to show you—make you feel what your husband couldn’t do to your body. So, with his cock still pumping in and out of you recklessly, two fingers entered your mouth while his unoccupied hand pinched and twisted your hardened nipples.
“Suck,” he ordered, and you did. It was almost embarrassing how fast you complied, wrapping your tongue around his thick digits as you suckled on them, excess saliva dribbling down your chin.
And it was all so lewd. The ring of cum coating his cock from both your multiple orgasms, your red and pulsing clit, your moans—and shit. If Suguru knew one thing it was one thing only; he would keep his promise and fuck you like you deserve.

being roomies with a guy wasn’t what you had in mind, but what could you do when he was the only one offering the deal you wanted?
a bright smile on his face as he folds his arms over his chest, leaning against the marble counter, his eyes trailing your body.
“of course i can do that for you; don’t worry about paying a deposit; i got you.”
and with that, you were eight months deep into rooming with suguru, only catching each other for a couple of minutes every other day.
“what’s up? you hungry?” his hair tied in a messy bun with his shirt off and his pajama pants hanging low.
ugh… put some clothes on.
offering you dinner every time you came into the kitchen, his eyes dropping to your ass when you passed through to get to the pantry.
he didn’t know why, but he just couldn’t stop looking at you every time he got the chance; you were his type to a T.
suguru thought that was all it was ever going to be, just looking at you and exchanging a few words before you left the apartment or went into your room.
until he heard something, something he was never meant to hear.
when you did your “activities,” you made sure to be respectful; sometimes it even felt weird to do it when someone else was in the house, but you had needs. keeping it quiet, not risking a peep slipping through.
this time you got a little bit too carried away, but you just couldn’t stop. one hand working in between your thighs, your fingers pumping in and out of you at a good steady rhythm, while the other rubbed over your body, and suguru was there to hear it all.
suguru slowly walked to your bedroom door, leaning against the wall by it with his arms folded, red smeared all over his face as his heart raced, the sound pounding in his ears.
the walls were thin, the only downside of this place, but suguru found himself smiling at the fact he could hear you.
trying to imagine what position you were in, if you were using your fingers or a toy, the lewd faces you were doing, if you were building a sweat at this point, questions flying through his head.
he felt like a creep listening in just a few feet away, which he totally was, but your voice was keeping him there.
suguru loves your voice; it sent tingles down his spine every time you would speak, even if it was just a single "no, thank you." when asking you if you wanted dinner.
it was so soothing, so soothing, in fact, that he would purposely prolong the small talk just to hear your voice bounce off the walls of the apartment, his mouth salivating while he listened to you.
keep going, please.
your moans weren’t loud, but they could be heard; they were very distinct, but he could still make out your sweet voice, and that turned him on more than it should have.
unfolding his arms and grabbing for your door handle, if he had to listen to your moans for another minute, he was going to combust; he was going to go fucking insane.
sliding his hand off the handle and putting a knuckle to the door, calling your name as he knocked lightly, loud enough for you to hear.
“… i cooked; did you want anything?”
his eyes slowly looking over to the kitchen that was lightly lit, closing his eyes trying to come up with another excuse, while you quickly scattered, licking your fingers and throwing on the shorts beside your bed.
fast walking to your door and opening it, a bright smile on your face, trying to act normal.
"im fine, suguru; i already ate." your eyes sliding from his beautiful face to his body, once again shirtless with pajama pants hanging low, showing his v-line, but something else caught your eye.
suguru mirrored you, sliding his eyes over your figure and your disheveled look, feeling his dick growing more, his cheeks flushing as he slowly puts his hand over his bulge, making eye contact with you.
a lump was caught in his throat, his chest rising and falling so fast like he just came back from a run.
he needed you, or he was going to go fucking insane.
"do you want to fuck?"

Tumblr media
You roll over onto Spencer and kiss once, long and deep and sweet. He hums into it, too whipped to pretend like he’s got self control or respect, hands finding the soft skin of your bare waist and settling there. 
How it got to this point so quickly, no more than fifteen minutes after he walked through the door, you can’t say. Usually the two of you are a bit more domestic when he gets home from a case, but eight days is a long time to be apart, and the trail of clothing leading from the welcome mat to the foot of the bed attests to that. 
So does the lack of teasing, of begging—at least, a lack up until this point. Right now, there’s only him, patient and content to let you play at being in charge. You pull back and reach down to grab him gently, aligning him at your entrance with a trembling hand. This part, you’re not usually responsible for. 
He assures you with a hand to the small of your back, rubbing soothing circles. “You got it. Slowly.”
You do as he says, brow furrowing in focus as you sink down an inch or two onto him. Spencer’s breathing grows erratic as you take more and more of him, and in a heroic display of overachieving, you take the rest of him at once with nothing but a squeak. He laughs breathily as his fingers dig into your hips. 
“Fuck—I said slow.”
You can’t think. The overwhelm of it all is too much as you crumple forward onto his chest. The subtle rocking you’re doing to try and alleviate some of the pressure in your core is apparently too much as he stops you by the hips, fingers pressing into those same tender spots.
Spencer’s breath is ragged. “Don’t… do not move.”
“Fuck,” you breathe into his shoulder, long and drawn out as despite his wishes you wriggle around, trying to get comfortable. “Oh my god.”
“My lovely girl, please… please don’t move,” Spencer gasps, a plead, and you try to stop for him, nuzzling even deeper against his neck. “I need a minute.”
“It’s too much,” you slur, dizzy as you try to adjust to the feeling. “Please.” You don’t know what you’re asking for. Maybe relief from the sensation that he can’t offer you. Maybe more. 
Spencer is undone by you—the way you writhe on top of him, the way your voice shakes, the way you’re so totally and completely overwhelmed and he can feel it and he loves it. 
“Baby,” he breathes, and he meant to say a lot more than that, but it’s the best he can manage when he is this overstimulated. “Baby,” he whispers again, wrapping his arms around you in an effort to ground you, to give you something else to focus on as you both get used to the feeling. 
It’s going well—for a moment, before your back is arching. 
“Spence, I need to move, I can’t—”
“Okay, okay.” He takes a deep breath, returning his hands to your waist and mentally preparing himself not to cum early. He’s desperate to give you want you want, to feel you like this. “Go ahead. Move, honey. Please.”
By the time you slowly lift your hips up and drop back down with a low cry, Spencer’s lost. His head falls back against the pillow and his eyes squeeze shut. 
“Fuck,” he groans. “Oh, angel, I missed you.”
You do it again, motivated by his praise, and he can hear your little gasps and desperate gulps of air. 
“I missed you so much,” you whine and clench around him, pleasure so intense it’s a resounding ache in the far reaches of your body. “Oh, fuck, Spencer.”
Spencer shivers. He loves when you make it personal, when you say his name like that and it becomes clear this isn’t just about the physical.
“My girl. Just like that. Doing so well, baby, just like that.”
Each pass of your hips has you whining. Your lips skim over his neck, not cognizant enough to actually kiss—only to know that you want the contact. 
“Please can I go faster?”
Spencer almost doesn’t realize you’re speaking to him he’s so lost in pleasure. The idea of faster is as compelling as it is troublesome. Spencer doesn’t know if he can’t take faster, not when he has you like this, but he certainly wants to find out. 
“Yeah, lovely. Do whatever feels good.”
You readjust and begin to pick up the pace, stumbling over a few false starts as it’s clearly more sensation than you’d been prepared for. 
Spencer, on the other hand, has his eyes screwed shut tight, and is attempting to draw a two-dimensional Császár polyhedron on your back, but he loses his place with every twitch of your hips, so eventually he decides to trace imperfect Mandelbrots down your spine—anything to avoid thinking about how the pH of your body interacts with sweet vanilla perfume to create a scent so deeply intoxicating he’d leave his entire life behind just to trail after it, or how you fucking feel against him, on top of him, around him, how miraculous it is that you keep letting him touch you—
“Oh—” you whine quietly, a strangled sort of noise that has his heart skipping. Your hand tangles desperately in his hair as you rock your hips faster and faster and he lets out a tortured groan. “Spencer, oh my fucking god.”
“I know, baby,” he manages, endeared by the fact that you feel so good you have to share it with him. Even now you’re trying to explain it because you want him to be part of it—as if he doesn’t know exactly what you’re feeling already. “That feels good, huh?”
“Mm—f—eels—” you cut yourself off with a cry into the crook of his neck, and he holds the back of your head, vision greying as he stares unseeing at the ceiling because if he looks down this’ll be over too soon. 
“You’re so good,” he breathes, “you’re perfect.”He hears you gasp at the same time as your rhythm falters, and presses a kiss somewhere indiscriminately on your head. “Gonna cum?” He murmurs in your ear, and you nod desperately, rutting against him hopelessly as your thighs tremble from exertion. 
Even the smallest drop-off in friction has his head spinning like he stood up too quickly, so he gives himself enough leverage to start fucking you. You cry out and shift your weight like you’re going to try and evade the feeling—self-sabotage, you always do this—and he again has to hold your hips in an iron vice, just to force you to feel it. 
“You’re okay, I’m gonna get you there.”
“Fuck!” You very nearly yell, still trying to wriggle away up until the very last second like the tide going out before the tsunami comes. When you do cum, your demeanor instantly changes—you get heavy and clingy and whiny as you rock back and forth through your orgasm. 
“Good girl,” Spencer murmurs, being careful in the way he continues to fuck you until he reaches his peak as well, not long after. You shudder, and Spencer feels the way your entire body tenses the way it sometimes does after a particularly strong orgasm, and he fights his way out of the brain fog to rub your back with the skimming tips of his fingers. “Shh. You’re okay. Relax, baby.”
And you do, unwound by the dance of his hand and with a few shallow breaths that gradually deepen, until you’re once more slack on top of him. 
“You’re incredible,” he exhales, with his lips pressed to your hairline. 
So clearly overwhelmed, the only response you can muster is a soft squeak. Spencer laughs fondly, still mapping the soft curve of your back. He feels the way you’re still attempting to train your breathing and kisses your hair again. “What do you need, angel?”
“I’m s’posed to be taking care of you,” you slur. Spencer chuckles again and his brow knits. 
“According to who?”
“According to… I was on top…”
“Yeah. You did all the hard stuff. Your legs are shaking.”
You whine softly. “No they’re not.”
His hand slides down to your thigh, and he rubs the trembling muscles. 
“No? No Bambi legs for me this time?”
You squeeze them around his waist like you could shrink away from his touch. “Spence…”
“I’m teasing you, honey,” he murmurs, pressing kisses wherever he can reach. “You’re cute.”
“Hm.”
“Look at me,” he murmurs, angling his head expectantly as you slowly raise yours. The look on your face is so sweet—eyes half lidded, lips swollen and much higher in color than usual. Your cheek is warm to the touch. His heart flutters like it did on your first date, and the first time he kissed you, and the first time you fell asleep on his shoulder. This view will never get old. “Wow. Look at you, beautiful girl. Can I have a kiss?”
And you grant him his wish, with a long, soft kiss that’s worth every second of that burning feeling in his lungs, every time. 
Eventually you huff out the remainder of your air against his well-kissed lips and your head flops to his chest. 
“I’m sleepy.”
“So go to sleep,” he murmurs, so warm from your kiss he feels nothing could be wrong in the world at this moment. 
“I can’t.”
“Why’s that?”
“’Cause you just got home ’nd I missed you and I wanna spend time with you.”
“We have three days to spend together. If you go to sleep now, we’ll actually get more time together tomorrow.”
“But it’s more about, like, how it feels—how much time it feels like we spend together right when you get home, and if I go to sleep now, it’s gonna feel like less time, and—basically you’re just not understanding my math.”
“What math?” He laughs, continuing to rub your legs all the way up to your hips, at which point you hiss and buck—a very visceral feeling when he’s still inside of you. “What? What hurts?”
“You tried to fucking tear my hip flexors from my body, is what hurts,” you grumble. 
“Tender?”
“Mhm.”
“I’m really sorry, angel. Tylenol?”
“Mm-mm. Can you kiss me better?” Sleep stains your voice. Spencer smiles to himself. 
“Yeah?”
“Mhm.”
“Lie down.”
Again you whine as you slip off of him, landing heavily on your back. He sits up, watches with so much affection the way you squeeze your thighs together and arch ever so slightly against the empty feeling. 
“Spencer?” You whisper as he cups the top of your knees. 
“Hm?”
“I love you.”
He pushes your legs apart gently so he can settle in between them and kisses you again. “I love you. So much.”
“Glad we’re on the same page.”
He presses a kiss to your head, down your neck, taking the scenic route to your hip bones, but you don’t seem to mind. 
The feeling of his lips gentle on the tender flesh has you humming softly, eyes fluttering shut as he showers you with gentle kisses. His traces every place his fingers had pressed earlier—feels the way you relax further underneath him. Nobody’s ever let him in this deeply before, but you trust him with everything you have; your body, your soul, in life or death, awake and in sleep. He’ll never take that for granted. He will never pass on an opportunity like this, to be the one who takes care of you, who puts you back together, as long as you’ll let him. 
Still dancing the line of consciousness, you part your legs, the slow drag of your bare thigh like a jumper cable to his heart. Fingertips trace desirous paths up your inner thigh and back down again. He recognizes this invitation for what it is, and he knows exactly how to give you what you want, but he asks first anyway. 
“Was that on purpose?”
“I d’know what you mean. I’m so sleepy,” you slur, and he believes the second half of your statement to be fact. 
Spencer pushes your thigh a little higher, and you’re completely pliable for him, completely gorgeous. As soon as he skims your thigh with a barely-there kiss, exactly the way you like, you’re lacing a hand in his hair. 
“Please, Spence…” you murmur, and he can’t argue with that. He especially can’t argue when you widen your legs just that slightest bit more, and your arousal is opalescent between your legs. 
He hums, trailing more kisses up until he’s setting the softest one yet against your clit. “Beautiful girl…”
The following gasp is so tiny he could’ve missed it if he wasn’t so attuned to your noises—and then he gets lost in you, making sure to keep his ministrations light as you already came twice recently and are sure to be sensitive. He doesn’t want to wake you from whatever twilight half-slumber trance you’re in, either, sensing that if he does you’ll fight all over again to stay up.
And admittedly, he adores being trusted to take care of you like this.
Your back arches as much as you’re capable of in this state, and he can’t help the way he just barely suctions onto you at that moment, coaxing a sighing moan so sweet and vulnerable and open it gives him chills. Fuck. He really wants to make you cum. But instead he practices patience, tracing you with the tip of his tongue, pressing gentle kisses everywhere you need them—he draws it out. For he doesn’t know how long. 
The first time you get close, your hips begin to roll, and you spout little ah’s, but he talks you back down again, laughing lightly at your angelic cooing, your little sounds of sleepy pleasure. Even now you’re so responsive, moving against his mouth as he slips a finger into your soaked entrance, fucks you for a moment, and then retreats. Maybe he’s being unfair, but you don’t seem to mind. 
In fact, you’re slipping in and out of sleep as he devours you for what feels like hours, one hand pressed lovingly to your stomach, stroking the soft skin there. Spencer’s never had this long to explore you with his mouth and he takes full advantage of every moment, but he keeps all his kisses and licks and touches gentle and reverent and so loving. 
You don’t know how long it’s been, or how many times he’s made you cum when he finally retreats—you half-wake just as he’s finishing cleaning you up. Soon he tosses the towel aside and presses feather-light kisses to each of your cheeks, tear-stained and warm with pleasure. You feel completely drained and completely loved. 
“Hi, sleeping beauty,” he murmurs, climbing into bed with you, at some point having gotten dressed. 
You manage an embarrassed little laugh. More tears crawl down your cheeks as you roll to your side. Spencer brushes them away and pulls you into him, slinging your thigh over his waist. He chuckles. 
“Shaky?”
“Stop,” you whine, embarrassed by his teasing, and hide your face against his chest. “That’s not my fault.”
“It’s nobody’s fault. It’s sweet,” he insists as he rubs your back. And then, a moment later, “So—do you think we’ve spent enough time together for tonight?”
“No.”
He sighs good-naturedly. 
“You’re gonna wear me out, you know that?”
“’F you… can’t handle the heat… get outta the kitchen.”
When he next speaks you can hear the smile in his voice. 
“Go to sleep, Bambi. Let’s see if you can walk in the morning.”
