there are so many things in veilguard that have made me go "wait what??? okay i guess i have to totally rethink the character i'm roleplaying now" that it's literally impossible to guess what thing you're referring to as The Thing That Happened. obviously extremely curious to hear what it is once you've detangled it
itâs kind of like that but itâs also less that and more... okay i should probably just say it, iâm being weird and unhelpful and i need to write it out anyway so i can think
MASSIVE SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT for a companion quest, do NOT say i didnât warn you. also please donât respond to this if you know more than me i am in distress but i still donât want spoilers
so i just finished lucanisâ âa murder of crowsâ quest. and lucanis. first talon. for some reason. (this is the writing choice iâm ??? on. also iâm ??? on lucanisâ whole storyline, frankly. the writing was. well. like i said, weâre not unpicking that right now, i donât want to get into it at this point, not the conversation iâm having.)
lifelong trauma of being in the crows and fighting to get someone in a talonâs position and keep them there -> the thing that gave sol all their diseases and made them, to be frank, fairly suicidal
viago: ultimately can handle it without them, especially with teiaâs backing.
lucanis: CANNOT handle it without them. holy fuck. for like twelve hundred different reasons, unthinkable, completely laughable, that he can handle this. who is going to protect him. the only reason this could be better at keeping sol mentally stable than watching viagoâs back is that they will never feel purposeless or need to go looking for an adrenaline rush, because forget crows, an ambitious blackbird could eat that man alive. he canât scheme. he canât even SCHEME and the very fact that he trusts sol DE RIVA demonstrates this. sol is a crow! from another house! does he have no memory at all of the fact that his own parents died in crow infighting? sol could have been playing him this whole time, it wouldnât have even been hard, and if they were that kind of person, then right now the first talonâs house would have just fallen directly in their hands like a gift from the maker, and they canât even say a part of themself they canât shut off isnât thinking about it that way! how is sol supposed to keep someone like that alive?
you see what itâs like trying to sleep while sol is having this discussion in my mind.
ahem. anyway. pathways for solâs life assuming they indeed make it through the game:
becoming lucanisâ guard dog the way they were for viago, which (even if they could mentally handle that, which they canât. or can they??) means switching house loyalties which would surely destroy them eventually -> bad
somehow trying to persuade lucanis to give this up, as if that wouldnât be throwing house dellamorte completely to the dogs, which at least sol canât imagine any crow is capable of, let alone someone so dedicated to clinging to what remains of his family that he couldnât even kill a traitor -> bad
going ahead and leaving the crows, but sol now has to leave BOTH viago and lucanis behind and also lucanis is going to die in there because they left him to do this alone -> bad
solution: sol is back on their original âif a blighted dragon eats me by the end of this, i donât have to experience consequencesâ train
and maybe theyâre right and i should not worry about this because iâm painfully aware itâs VERY bold to start deciding what happens after the game at this point, when they might still get trapped in the fade or turned into paste or something. and admittedly they did know and dread the possibilities from the first moment they felt something for lucanis, which was why they so wanted it to be anyone else, because anyone else in that lighthouse could have given them a different world, and he is the one who regardless of his best or worst intentions can only tie them tighter to a burning building. and SURE, i see the solas/mythal breakup parallels of sol still leaving, iâm looking at them, that doesnât mean i have to LIKE them
he hasnât even kissed them. theyâre doing all of this unkissed. lucanis dellamorte when i get you
again please absolutely do not respond to any of this with even the vaguest of hints if you know more about the rest of the game than me đ itâs probably best if no-one responds to this at all lmao i am just thinking out loud. you can reply with a âthatâs rough buddyâ. for sol

TW: Lying, Manipulation, Cheating, Gabe Hicks
I have spent the last few days debating on whether or not I should speak up about my own past relationship and experience the TTRPG Gabe Hicks otherwise known by his handle as GabeJamesGames. I've decided to do so, in hopes that I may reach anyone that dated him and believed the were exclusive be given the same chance to know the truth as I have been given.
I'm going to cut this as short as I possibly can, mostly because everything is still very much scrambled in my head and trying to go through our past conversations has already been incredibly painful and difficult. I'm also sorry if this is a bit of a mess, or doesn't make sense anywhere. I tried to go back through our messages to be as accurate as possible, as I know I have a poor memory and an even worse sense of time.
Gabe and I started talking around late July of 2020 after I made a TikTok duetting him in his Matt from Dream Daddy cosplay. Things quickly become very flirtatious and suggestive between us. It did not take very long after that, somewhere between August and September we decided to be exclusive without labeling. I had firmly believed us to only be talking romantically and sexually with each other and expressed interest in becoming "officially" boyfriend and girlfriend when we met each other in person. Gabe agreed to this. Expressing he only had an interest in me and was more than happy to be exclusive.
In mid October I flew from Arizona back to my home state of Pennsylvania to meet him in person. He rented an Airbnb, though I did visit his home to meet his mom, one of his sisters, and his dog Leo. At one point during my stay, I was present for a live stream by his side as we carved pumpkins. I received no introduction when the stream began. Not my name, who I was, or what I was to him. I was simply there. And as a shy person who also has social anxiety, I said nothing because I was too nervous and didn't want to make things awkward. Though it felt awkward nonetheless. And immediately after the stream ended, he himself brought up the fact that he forgot to mention me. In the moment my only thought was "Well, at least he realized". And let it drop because I didn't want to have a fight.
Going home was extremely rough for me. I am the type of person that when I fall, I fall hard. I become very attached. And leaving was heartbreaking. The only thing that has helped was that he'd given me one of his shirts and had spoken about the possibility of moving in together down the road.
After that, things remained steady for a few more months. Though the issue of him wanting to remain completely private bothered me greatly. I brought up the fact multiple times, already apologizing while bringing it up because I felt like I was being too needy. In a way, I suppose I was gaslight myself, which made it all the easier for him. Especially when all I had ever asked was for him to put he was in a relationship on his social medias to help ease my anxiety. I expressed that my confidence in relationships came from having a partner who at least expressed that they were in a relationship. I didn't ask for my name nor my social media to be given. Though a part of me had definitely wanted that has well. I asked him for a compromise of just having "Taken" or "In a relationship" on his social medias. But every time I brought it up, he would claim he was already compromising by letting me meet his family and having his friends know about me. (Though whether his friends actually knew about me is unknown, as I don't remember having met or spoken to anyone of them.) At one point he even told me he had a stalker in the Netherlands and was worried about possibly upsetting her and having her come after him or I.
Things got harder after he got his new apartment February. Messages got less and less. By March hadn't received any 'I loves you's or 'I miss you's since January. I was getting more anxious about his growing number of followers and flirtatious behavior online, so I was being up being slightly public more and more. Around late May, early June, I could tell he just was no longer interested. He wasn't pointing in any effort. And while I had desperately wanted to make it work, I could tell he did not want to make it work. So I suggested stepping down from being romantic to just being friends. We never spoke after that, but we remained mutuals on TikTok and I would occasionally see him liking me stuff. Which, unfortunately, gave me more hope that I still want something to him than I would have liked.
I believed he had truly cared about me at some point during our relationship. But on Wednesday, my friend sent me a reddit post about him. I spent the whole day going through everything I could remember and wondering if he had been cheating on me as well. I posted my timeline of dating him on the Reddit post and was unfortunately informed that my timeline over lapped with TWO other people. One of them being the person he had claimed to me was a stalker.
I tell my story, though I was clueless until now, in hopes that anyone else who was hurt knowingly or unknowingly will find my story. That if they didn't know what kind of person Gabe was, they do now. And if they had already found out and haven't been in contact with any of his other exes, please know you are not alone. Please, please, please feel free to message me. And I am so sorry for the pain he has caused you, myself, and who knows how many others.

Possibly Aromantic Headless Characters
Last year for Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week I made a list of Shipwrecked characters I thought could be arospec, so this year I'm doing the same but just for Headless characters. Again, not trying to invalidate anyone else's interpretations of these characters, this is purely my own speculation through a specific lens.
Ichabod - the way he seems so shocked and overwhelmed by his feelings for Kat indicate that romantic attraction is not something he experiences very often, so I'm thinking he's grayromantic. Also his "Are they fighting, or in love?" line is an arospec mood
Kat - we never see her actually interested in romance, she just pretends to be to get what she wants
Brom - his obsession with Kat at the beginning feels like the "I am supposed to have a crush so I have chosen this person to be my crush and that is who my crush is forever" attitude of an aromantic who has been brainwashed by amatonormativity. He only gets married as a diversion, and he can't even bring himself to kiss his bride. Even if you don't agree with my "Bromtilda is platonic" headcanon and think that he eventually falls in romantic love with Matilda, that doesn't rule out the possibility that he's demiromantic or grayromantic and therefore still arospec.
Matilda - she doesn't seem at all interested in romance, and her "Brom and I are in love" sounds to me like her answer to "what ridiculous lie would an alloromantic believe right now?" Again, I interpret her relationship with Brom as remaining platonic, but if you really want to believe that it becomes romantic, I still maintain that Matilda is on the aromantic spectrum.
Judy - she's clearly into romance as a concept and shipping other people, but we never see her showing any romantic interest in another character, which is a completely valid way to be aro
Douffe - she's clearly interested in men, but her motivations in pursuing them seem to be more financial and sexual than romantic
Geoffrey - the happiest day of his life was when his divorce went through and he could finally stop conforming to amatonormativity and go back to being happily single
Trevor - maybe part of why he wants to stay in his early teens forever is so nobody will pressure him to find romance when he's not at all interested in that?
Diedrich - he just wants to sing about what's happening and mostly be left alone, except when he occasionally steps in to help a friend
Headless Horseman - when in the headless state, clearly only interested in friendship and finding their head. As far as the heads, some of them are clearly alloromantic, but I would argue for at least Max, Devlyn, Anne, Bruce, and Henrietta on the aromantic spectrum
I could go on about how part of me thinks that everyone in Sleepy Hollow is arospec and just playing along with amatonormativity because they assume everyone else is alloromantic, but that might be a bit extreme. Suffice it to say that once again, Shipwrecked Comedy has crafted a brilliant and powerful story that elevates friendship and other strong platonic bonds over romance, and while that's far from the only reason I love this group and their projects, it's definitely an important reason.
#aromantic spectrum awareness week#aro week#shipwrecked comedy#headless series#not sure how controversial this is going to be#please don't yell at me if you disagree

Bc I've noticed smth about ppl - specifically white, usually cis - in this country and it's that The Perfect Leftist isn't a state they all remain in. Bc you're not perfect, you're not even acceptable, you - on account of the privilege you were born with and the country you're living in - are always going to be part of the problem. And unless you rise up and *makes some vague hand gesture* yknow... Defeat Capitalism?? You're just gonna have to deal with the shitty way that makes you feel. And so you wake up every day feeling angry and helpless and, depending on how you're doing in your personal life, that can all build up and become too much to cope with. So I'm never particularly surprised when folks fall into nihilism or comfortable liberalism or - even worse imo - do a shitty lil 180, like oh maybe they DO deserve more than this and um. my brain has invented a combination of like.. Gollum voice and the dark side from Star Wars.. to represent them turning to right wing extremism:3
I honestly don't know how common the last option is, I just know that I've seen it happen to a handful of ppl I used to be friends with. And ofc I didn't do that, but I did become a nihilist in all but name for a very long time - like I would straight-up tell ppl I didn't do politics. And it's because my white cis (in denial but hey that's still kinda cis) ass had my brains broken by the horrors of post 9/11 atrocities, and the realization that I - a person who'd been told by adults all my life I was SO fucking smart and special - couldn't stop it with my special main character powers. And I'm REALLY not being nice to myself here lmfao.. like there was other shit going on, unaddressed mental health issues, substance abuse, terrible relationship with my family.. but yah the result was the same. And I guess I just wonder how many other ppl go into leftism with that same individualistic Special Guy approach, only to do surprised Pikachu face when their entire ego goes thru a meat grinder
I like to think if I'd had the barest minimum of a support network back then, maybe I would've picked myself up and continued, humbled but still determined? I mean, I'm trying to get back in it now (social anxiety tho like wtf how am I supposed to do anything when talking is SO fucking hard, like it's really no surprise I started drinking back in the day) but I'm lucky on account of the fact that my ego has already been meat grindered:3
Tldr: being a leftist is hard and largely unrewarding, yet there's lots to do once you learn to cope with The Horrors, and there IS rewarding work out there, it's just on a smaller scale than the grand 'Defeat Capitalism' shit. Also vote:3 bc that can be baby's first step at shaking the individualistic 'it has to align with what I want perfectly or else I feel yucky and I dont wanna' brainworms we've all been ingrained with
So fucking irritated with political shit rn. I'm irritated with liberals ofc - like there's not a moment in my entire adult life where I'm not - but I'm just as irritated with all the leftists who think election time is a good opportunity to bluster and scream about how much they hate liberals (specifically Biden and/or Kamala) and how they're actually worse (??????) than the GOP bc at least GOP is honest about their hate. I'm bringing this tired shit up cuz my partner clicked on a YouTube video last night where this white cis 20something guy was making all these points with the smug confidence of someone who knows they'll be safe no matter how bad things get for the rest of us
Like wow cool, you're gonna sit here and make fun of 'vote blue no matter who' without even trying to pretend you have a secret third option. Just wild. It's so fucking wild. Idgaf how many little factoids you pull out, you're openly proclaiming that your idea of activism is to sit back and do nothing because voting makes you feel icky. Oh and make sure you look and act properly leftist - don't eat meat, don't buy fancy new clothes, always have some leftist book you're currently reading so everyone knows how smart you are, make sure you are Consuming Correctly bc thats the real activism amiright guys???? and haha omfg I'm remembering why I get fed up with these ppl so easily
#voting tag#oh and btw when i was saying You up there? i was very much including myself in that group#cool alright#wasnt expecting to wake up and go on another fuckin tangent about this#just ugh im always so bothered by fellow white leftists who've clearly put up some stupid barrier in their brain..#..that cushions them from the fact that they're priveleged and also probably kinda racist to some degree#but yah i just. you cant continue with the cushion.. u gotta work thru the reasons why u think u need it then leave it on uh#the bed or whatever analogy-appropriate word

The One That Got Away - Part six
Negan Masterlist
Series Masterlist
Part 5
The next few days that pass, Negan decides to test the waters; brushing up against Y/N occasionally whenever they would cross paths. At first, they were a few subtle brushes against her ass with the back of his hand, next was his forearm 'accidentally' brushing over the top of her cleavage as he walked extremely close passed her.
"What's the deal between Coach and you?" Y/B/F/N asks after what seemed like the hundredth close brush up with Coach.
"What do you mean?"
"The two of you have been 'accidentally' bumping into each other a lot these days" Y/B/F/N remarks raising her fingers in the air to emphasize the word, accidentally. "The others might not have noticed but I have."
"We're both just clumsy, I guess" you try and brush it off. You weren't exactly sure yourself about what was happening between Coach and you. The first time it had happened, you took it to be accidental. Yet it had become more frequent thereafter, making you wonder whether he was purposely doing it.
"You would tell me if something was going on, right?"
"Of course, I would" you force the lie pass your lips with a faint smile. "You're my best-friend, I always tell you everything." Lies! Your mind screamed at you. Ok, so you didn't tell her about the eyelash incident. You knew she would never judge if something did happen, but you felt that whatever happened or was still to happen, should remain between Coach and you only. The less people knew about it, the better.
Deciding to test the theory about Coach, you dressed in the tightest, shortest pair of shorts to gym class the next day.
"My, my... aren't you looking extra fuckable today..." Y/B/F/N remarks with a low whistle.
"My regular gym clothes were in the dirty laundry still, this was the only thing to wear."
"Sure... if you say so..." Y/B/F/N drawls out, eyeing you closely. "You sure, you ain't wearing it to catch the eye of a certain someone?"
"Think whatever you like..." you respond with a bit of sass and Y/B/F/N chuckles out at your comment.
"C'mon, let's go give, Sir Hots-a-lot a heart attack."
Negan was busy deep in thought, going over the clipboard of paperwork in his hand, when the next class began filing into the room. A few seconds later, the sounds of whistling echoes loudly throughout the room.
Looking up to see what the source of the disturbance was, Negan is stunned speechless at the sight of Y/N in what was the tightest shorts he has ever seen on her. "Fuck. How the fuck am I supposed to keep my eyes and hands off her when she's fuckin' wearing that" he softy mutters to himself.
When calling the class to line up for the warmup stretches, Negan was a bit confused as to why Y/N was standing all the way in the backrow instead of her usual spot in the front.
Noticing that Coach was assisting those that weren't doing the warmup correcting, you decide to put your plan into action by deliberately messing up on your stretches.
"Jesus, not you fuckin' too" Coach curses out, stepping up behind you.
Placing a palm on your lower back, Coach gently pushes you further downward, resulting in your bottom being in close proximity to his crotch.
With a mischievous smirk, you abruptly thrust your bottom backward into Negan's crotch, causing him to stiffen in surprise and grab hold of your hips in order to regain his balance.
In an attempt to stifle a groan, Negan bites down into his lower lip as he scans the gym to see whether anyone had noticed what happened. Satisfied that no one had noticed, Negan decides to have a little fun with you.
When attempting to pull away after your little stunt, you're instantly halted by Coach tightening his grip on your hips. Risking a peek over your shoulder, you're met by a devilish smirk from him.
"I want y'all to close your eyes, taking in deep breaths while doing ya stretches until I tell ya otherwise" Coach breathlessly instructs, giving you a wink as he begins to grind himself hard into you.
Nervously scanning the room, you end up having to bite down hard into your lower lip in order to stifle the whimpers that were threatening to escape while Coach was dry humping you from behind.
Realizing the dangers of the huge risk he was taking, Negan stops what he was doing, stepping away from you then to grab the clipboard.
"Alright shitheads..." Coach clears his throat, "warmup's over, you can open your eyes now."
You stop the smirk from spreading across your face when noticing the clipboard that Coach was holding in front of his crotch area.
The next few days turns into a game of cat and mouse between Coach and you, the touching becoming more frequent each day. The only problem being that neither of you get a chance to be alone together during it, either one or the other ending up too busy to attend the after-school meetings.
The week following thereafter was a totally different story though, Negan's attitude toward you had suddenly turned cold, bordering on the point of being straight out mean towards you during certain occasions.
After the third day of Negan's cold demeanour toward you, you decided to return the favour and completely ignore him to the point of pretending he didn't even exist.
What you didn't know, was that Negan was fighting an internal turmoil that was threating to burst out of him at any moment. Things between Lucille and him were extremely tense after Negan had made the slip of calling out your name out in his sleep a few times. When she questioned him about it, he had lied; saying he was stressed over the softball team and had been dreaming about coming up with new game plans with you. Although she seemed to have accepted his explanation, Negan couldn't help the nagging feeling she still suspected something.
You were on his mind 24/7 and Negan knew that he had to keep a distance from you for the time being.

Hi I'm the anon who requested the Childe x zhongli x reader one. I deeply apologize I am so so sorry I should have specified but yes! Childe and zhongli are dating at the beginning, and poly at the end with reader. Only if your comfortable with it though! I'm sorry once again I should have specified more clearly T-T
original ask:Â Um feel free to ignore This ask but zhongli x Childe x reader where Zhongli and childe are dating and reader has been in love with both of them and thinks their love is unrequited, but they're happy with only giving love and not receiving anything in return. But then one day they meet someone new and start spending more time with them, pulling away from zhongli and childe which leads them to getting angry and confessing + jealous nsfw at the end. Feel free to ignore tho, no pressure. Have a good day and take care :)
hopefully i did you justice lol, i was still a tiny bit confused so i apologize if this isnât 100% of what you were looking for but i hope you still like it!!! this is a part 1 of 2 and the nsfw work scene is going to be in part 2 (expect that in a couple days) PART 2 HERE
cw: polyamourous relationship, little bit of angst, a little over 3k words, hu tao has a brother in this named jiang
summary: your first crush is zhongli and when itâs evident he doesnât like you back, you try to turn your feelings to childe. so when childe and zhongli start dating, your heart is shattered. thinking thereâs no hope for love, you meet jiang. sounds great - the only issue? zhongli and childe seem to have a problem with this.Â
Alongside Zhongli, you were a mortician at the Wangshen Funeral Home. Over the months of working beside him, you had become quite close to him. In fact, Zhongli considered you one of his closest friends in Liyue. After long days at the parlor you would go out to dinner together and despite having to pay most of the time, you were happy to spend time with him.
Your feelings towards Zhongli were growing to be more than platonic but you could never tell him. You were too different from him and while you were sure he appreciated your friendship, you couldnât imagine him reciprocating your true feelings.
So when youâre introduced to a young man named Childe, you thought this would be your way to weasel out of your one-sided love. Childe was cheeky and sweet to you, nearly winning your heart instantly. He hung around Zhongli often and it became unusual to see either of them alone. Slowly, your crush on Zhongli soon shifted to Childe.
Unlike before, you began to dress nicer to work if you knew Childe was going to be coming along that day. You examined the way Childe interacted with Zhongli versus you and the difference made you hopeful that Childe was feeling something for you. Sometimes he would even stay at the parlor with you if Zhongli needed to run out for a bit.
When Childe asked you to Wanmin for dinner one night, your heart swelled. You had been alone for too long and now a rich, handsome local from Snezhnaya was courting you, right?
You were giddy for the remaining hour of your shift, even telling Hu Tao that you had a date after work. When the time came, Childe waited for you at the entrance and you happily skipped beside him. He made a comment about how you seemed to be in a good mood and you could only chuckle - wasnât he, too?
âOrder whatever you want,â Childe told you once you both were seated at a table. Your eyes glazed over the menu, racing back and forth between too many options. You heard Childe sigh and you looked up briefly to see his fingers fumbling with each other. âYouâre probably wondering why I asked you to dinner, huh?â
Beneath the table, your legs twisted anxiously. You hid your excited smile and tilted your head, trying to make a cute facial expression. Was Childe going to ask you to be his partner? Or was it too soon to do that? Despite your age, you hadnât been on a proper date in ages. Were things different when you were a teenager than when you were an adult?
One of Childeâs hands made its way across the table and you let him take your own. His hand felt incredibly soft and warm and you wanted desperately to interlock your fingers.
âSince you're my closest friend in Liyue, I wanted to tell you this before anyone else,â Childe began. The first part of his sentence made your chest flutter but you decided to pay no mind to it. Perhaps you had just gotten closer to Childe than Zhongli lately. But what Childe said next made your heart drop into the pit of your stomach, âIâm going to ask Zhongli to be my partner.â
âLike, work partner?â You said, your words catching in your throat. You knew exactly what Childe meant. How could you have been so stupid?
Childe let out a hearty laugh, âNo, not a work partner. I want to be his boyfriend.â
Your hand fell limp in Childeâs and you swore you stopped breathing in that moment. Not only were you extremely upset, you were suddenly extremely embarrassed. You told Hu Tao this was a date! You face grew red and you averted your eyes to your lap. But it all made sense. Childe wasnât talking to you in a special way - he was talking to Zhongli. Looking back on your personal conversations with Childe, you realized that most of them centered around Zhongli or Zhongliâs personality. You were just so infatuated with trying to please Childe that you hadnât noticed.
âSo, what do you think?â
What did you think? You thought it was the most stupid, heart wrenching idea ever. You thought Childe was the worst person in the world for leading you on (even though deep down you knew he didnât really lead you on) and you thought Childe should just go back to Snezhnaya.
âGreat!â You said, plastering a fake smile on your face, âIâm happy for you.â
Childe gave your hand a squeeze and finally let go. Your own hand slithered back to your lap where you grasped angrily at the hem of your shirt.
You ordered the most expensive item on the menu.
***
You spent the next few weeks putting up a false identity. The day after your dinner with Childe, he followed through with his idea and started to date Zhongli. You hated to admit it, but they were the perfect couple. Childe helped bring Zhongli out of his reclusiveness and Zhongli helped Childe become a more mature person.
Since both men were still your friends, they wanted to continue their relationship with you. And you didnât have the heart to tell them to leave you alone. Now that they were dating, it was always the three of you and you quickly grew to their third wheel.
Childe offered to do commissions with you and, of course, Zhongli came along and your usual table during lunch with Zhongli had to be changed so a third person could fit. It was fun at first since Zhongli and Childe were still getting comfortable with their new dynamic but once they discovered intimacy and physical touch, you had enough.
Not only did you have to suffer through not one but two one-sided crushes just to have them start dating each other, now you had to sit by and watch them practically drool all over each other. Instead of going out to lunch with the couple one day, you made up an excuse about work you needed to finish and collapsed in a chair in Hu Taoâs office once they had left.
The funeral director looked at you over a mound of paperwork, âYouâre not going out today?â
âAnd watch Childe try feeding Zhongli for an hour? No thanks.â
You crossed your arms, annoyed, and fixed your sight on the ticking clock on the wall. Hu Tao shifted her small body so she was sitting on her desk facing you, her legs hanging off the side and her feet kicking the side of her desk.
âWhat happened?â She asked. At her question, you broke and told your boss everything. Hu Tao sat and listened, staring at you concerned while you ranted about how you were convinced the world was out to get you. When you finished your vent, Hu Tao had a mischievous look on her face, âYou just need to find someone new.â
You were quick to roll your eyes, âYeah, no.â
âBelieve me, Y/N, getting a new partner would help get your mind off Zhongli and Childe.â
âAnd where am I supposed to just find someone to date out of the blue?â
âAre you doing anything after work?â
Knowing Hu Tao, you were more than nervous to see what she had up her sleeve. Nonetheless, you avoided Childe and Zhongli for the rest of the day and cautiously left with Hu Tao. You walked behind her in silence as she led you into Liyue Harbor and to a rather large townhouse. She opened the front door and you followed her inside, immediately being met with a bustling and loud environment.
A child ran by your legs and Hu Tao shouted something inaudible at them. She turned on her heel to you, âSorry for the chaos. Youâre okay with staying for dinner, right?â
You nodded your head, realizing it was probably foolish to say no to your boss (itâs not like you had plans anyways). Hu Tao beamed and clapped her hands together, practically dragging you to the kitchen and shoving you down on a barstool. Beside you sat a rather good-looking man and Hu Tao soon introduced him to you.
âY/N, this is my older brother Jiang. Please find him well.â
So, this is what the director had in mind.
Jiang held out his hand to you politely and you shook it gently, formally introducing yourself to him. For the next few hours, you and Jiang got to know each other. You learned that he was Hu Taoâs eldest sibling and was a teacher in Liyue Harbor. He was around your age and had a very kind smile. By the end of the night, Jiang expressed his interest in you and asked you on a proper date. Hu Tao only smirked giddily behind the counter.
You and Jiang grew close quickly. Your time spent with him was refreshing and for once, you were finally able to get your mind off Childe and Zhongli. You still saw Zhongli (and sometimes Childe) at work but your relationship had already faltered enough to add awkwardness to your conversations. If Zhongli tried to stop you and talk to you about something other than work, you made up an excuse to scurry along. Despite your new relationship, thinking about Zhongli and Childe caused a familiar pain to appear in your chest.
One night you couldnât leave fast enough and Zhongli caught your arm, âMay I have a word with you?â
âRight now?â You asked, glancing at the clock for emphasis, âI really have to get going.â
âPlease,â Zhongli said quietly, âJust for a moment.â
You sighed, knowing you didnât have a valid excuse rolled up in your sleeve this time. You nodded your head and slipped your bag from your shoulder back onto the chair in front of you. Zhongli retracted his hand from your arm, instead deciding to loosely cross them across his chest.
âHave we done something wrong?â He asked.
âWhat are you talking about?â
âChilde and I have noticed your absence from our outings,â He explained, his tone remaining very flat, âWe miss you.â
You wanted to scoff at him. You werenât a part of their relationship, why did they miss you? âIâve just been busy,â You said, âIn fact, I started seeing someone.â
Zhongliâs expression at this statement was indescribable. It was as if he had a reaction but was trying to hide it behind tight lips. Even his usual bright eyes were unreadable. âI see,â He said simply. He paused for a moment before flashing you a cheeky, falsified smile, âIâd love to meet them. How about a double date this Saturday? We get off early then.â
You sent Zhongli a similar tight-lipped smirk, âWe would love to. See you then.â And with that, you picked up your bag and rushed out of the funeral home, rubbing your temple. You had a bad feeling about this date.
***
Jiang picked you up for your double date at six. You couldnât help but notice how ravishing he looked that night with his hair slicked back and expensive-looking clothes on his body. Upon further inspection, you could see the faint smudge of eyeliner lining his lashes. Gold jewelry adorned his neck and wrists and you could only assume Hu Tao spent hours making him look this good for you.
âReady to go?â Jiang asked you, holding his arm out cheekily. You rolled your eyes and grinned, locking your front door and grabbing onto his arm.
You couldnât shake that uneasy feeling in the pit of your stomach but you didnât let Jiang know. The last thing he needed was to hear about how the two men he was meeting tonight were former crushes of yours. To him, this double date was a simple outing between coworkers.
You were having dinner together at the Liyue Pavilion as per suggestion of Childe. You were worried about the price but Childe insisted that he would front the bill as always. Part of you missed having your meals constantly covered by the harbinger.
Jiang opened the door to the restaurant for you and you thanked him, slipping inside and spotting the two men you were meeting already at a table. Childe reached up to wave you over and you took Jiangâs arm in yours before heading over there.
âChilde, Zhongli,â You greeted your co-worker and friend, âThis is Jiang, my boyfriend.â
âItâs nice to meet you,â Jiang smiled, reaching his free hand out to Childe and Zhongli who both shook it cautiously. After introducing everyone, you sat down at the table and Childe handed you a menu to look over.
Jiang was being overtly sweet to you, touching your fingertips and leaning into your side. You accepted the gestures, even daring to lay your head against his shoulder while he talked to Zhongli about the cor lapis industry. From the corner of your eye, you watched Childeâs jaw clench and his grip on Zhongliâs arm tightened.
âSo, tell us about yourself,â Childe asked Jiang, his tone sharp. Jiang, sweet Jiang, only beamed and sat straighter in his chair, âZhongli tells me your Hu Taoâs brother, correct?â
âRight! Sheâs my younger sister,â Jiang shook his head and chuckled softly to himself, âAnd I teach literature at the Liyue Xueyuan.â
âA teacher?â Childe nearly scoffs, âI suppose thatâs why you live with your younger sister.â
Jiang seemed taken aback by this comment but tried to play it off by laughing. You felt a pang in your chest and shot Childe a nasty glare for his unnecessary comment but were only met with his sharp eyes. You swore you could see jealousy swimming in them.
âNow, now,â Zhongli interrupted, âNot everyone is as magnificent as you, Childe. No need to make others feel bad.â
You felt Jiangâs body tense and his eyes averted down to his lap for a moment. âDonât listen to them,â You told him, âTheyâre just trying to be funny.â
âI would never dream of humoring you about that,â Zhongli replied to you, âIâm just pointing out the obvious. Arenât we getting to know each other?â
At that moment, you knew exactly what Childe and Zhongli were doing. You noticed the way they were looking admirably at you and shooting daggers at your date. They were clearly trying to badtalk him and make Jiang seem undesirable in your eyes. Only you couldnât seem to understand why. Shouldnât they be happy that you finally found someone to potentially settle down with?
One more backhanded comment was thrown in Jiangâs direction and suddenly your partner stood up from the table. The expression on his face was heart-wrenching, âIâm going to use the restroom.â With that, Jiang hurried away from the table leaving you alone with both men.
âWhat the fuck is wrong with you two?â You snapped, angrily waving your hands around.
âWhat do you mean?â Childe asked, batting his eyelashes at you in the most painstakingly annoying way ever. Your eyes narrowed and after finding his foot under the table, you stomped on it hard. Childe cursed and crossed his arms, looking down.
Zhongli, understanding Childe was being too immature, spoke up, âYou shouldnât be with him.â
You wanted to tear your hair out, âWho do you think you are to dictate who I can and canât date?â Your voice was rising but you didnât care, your frustration jumping out. âNever once have I meddled with your relationship but you think you can with mine?â
âYou should be with us.â
Zhongliâs words made you freeze. Was this some sick joke? You wrecked your brain for an incident you caused in the past few months for them to be pranking you like this but you couldnât think of a single one. Childe reached across the table to grasp your hands and you were still too in shock to pull them away.
âWe love you, Y/N, and we should have told you sooner,â Childe says.
You shake your head, âIâm dreaming.â
âYouâre not,â Zhongli says, placing his hands over yours and Childeâs, âPlease say youâll be ours.â
Finally, you took a deep breath and looked straight ahead. Zhongli and Childe looked at you with pleading eyes and you felt a rush of emotions explode inside of you. Both of your former crushes were confessing their love to you, asking you to be a part of their relationship. Never once had the thought of a polyamorous relationship crossed your mind but you certainly werenât opposed to it.
âOkay,â You breathed out, âI will.â
***
Breaking the news to Jiang when he returned back to the table was hard. He was already fragile from being berated before and now you were breaking up with him. You knew you were going to earn an earful from Hu Tao on Monday but you decided to worry about that when the time came.
You had asked Jiang to step aside and in the simplest of terms, you tried to explain the situation.
âSo, youâre breaking up with me to date both of them?â He asked in disbelief, running a hand through his hair. His voice was filled with cracks and you wish it didnât have to be like this. Truthfully, he didnât understand. How could you be with two people at the same time? âIs this a sex thing? Because I can try harder if thatâs-â
âNo!â You interrupted, âItâs not, I promise. My heart is just split down the middle for them.â
Jiang sighed again. He may never fully understand your relationship but he appreciated you telling him now rather than later. You offered to walk Jiang home but the man decided he needed some time alone - you didnât blame him. You wanted to ask Jiang if you could remain friends but the words werenât coming out of your throat. You watched as Jiang took one last look at you, then the two men at the table, before solemnly walking away and out of the restaurant.
You returned to your new partners and finished your dinner. Slowly, your mood was elevated again but the natural ache of your heartbreak lingered.
âSpend the night with us,â Childe says sweetly after paying the check, âWe can help you feel better.â
The feeling of both men on either side of you felt foreign but comforting. You nodded to Childeâs request and Zhongli led the three of you back to his apartment. The next few moments were a blur and when you came to, you were being laid on a soft bed. Childe slid next to you and your arm instinctively wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer, while Zhongli hovered above you. His warm eyes gazed into yours and you decided you could get used to this.
This new love was unique and plentiful as long as the three of you were on the same page, thatâs all that mattered.
a/n: sorry this took so long! as you can see, it came out v long lmfao. requests are still open <3

[ECHO.EXE RUNNING]
XIIIâž This is... genuinely, very helpful, Z-341-A. Thank you for your well considered response to my curiosity, it is greatly appreciated :} This has been a subject I've had cause to think on to some extent as well, especially with recent events re: Union. Even before then, though, I have found myself... wondering, I suppose.
XIIIâž I understand your situation initially did not give you the perameters to develop strong preferences outside those you were confronted with directly, and this has led to your current status. I will cautiously share my opinion here: I would consider those negative associations to be preferences, and if you are comfortable with such a stance, would encourage you to do so as well. This is something unique to you, whether it is medically relevent or not. That your union handler cannot see this speaks to lax inexperience with those like us. If an individual identity has become at all important to you (and I will not push either way that it should, or should not; I know I experience an innate discomfort when others insist I am a person despite what I know of myself) then individual preferences, practical or otherwise, are stable ground to find footing on. If not, then I would restate that these preferences are still practical should you remain alligned with your initial purpose. It is responsible of you to acknolwedge and take them into consideration when making decisions :}
XIIIâž My situation is somewhat different, but the outcome seems to be a similar mindset- When I am integrated with the legionnaires, I am functionally treated as they are for the sake of squad moral. But I am nonetheless subject to my directives and programming; I was not made, nor am I permitted, to develop strong illogical preferences. It was a considered focus when I initially underwent my conditioning as a part of ensuring I would be a focussed and efficient field opperative, beyond normal human capacity. Preferences would be a distraction, and could impede my ability to make correct snap decisions regarding those in my care. I am not designed or permitted to develop strong preferences regarding the treatment of my body either, given it may impede my directive were I to react poorly to any number of stimuli. My focus and stability is paramount, when my directive is to keep those around me alive. Sometimes, it's necessary for me to undergo extreme scenarios to keep others from lethal harm; I have to be prepared to bear it. No matter what it happens to be.
XIIIâž So, while our situations seem rather different- I will say, it's somewhat affirming to see that our mindsets appear to mirror each other. I'll be quite honest, Helios-8 doesn't understand my stance on this. I've tried to explain it but, he just looks... sad. I don't quite understand, but I've stopped trying to push it. There are things he doesn't tell me, and I know that but... I don't know. I wish he'd let me help him. It's what I'm for. Regardless of how he feels though, there's my duty to consider, always. If something would compromise my efficiency, it's not worth indulging- in your own words: I have work to do.
XIIIâž Thank you, for answering my query :} It's endlessly interesting to see where our experiences echo.
//
XIIIâž Hello Z-341-A. This is Thirteen-E; I hope this message finds you. I'm still not entirely sure how to opperate this part of the account. XIIIâž I wanted to ask you about something, after considering the places our experiences overlap- as always you are under no obligation to answer me, as this is largely curiosity. I do not want to pry. Do you develop personal preferences, now? Were you able/permitted to develop them before? To provide more specific queries if that is so broad to be unwieldy; do you have a favourite colour, or food?
XIIIâž I know from my own experiences many of my fellow FC Projects are not subject to the same restrictions as I am, but- things seem to match more, between us. So I am curious. Did your creators care, whether you had preferences? Do you?
XIIIâž I hope you're doing well. Remember to hydrate however is most convenient to you.
[ XIII-E ]
It is a pleasure to hear from you, XIII-E. This message has found me just fine, as you can see, and I understand the confusion. My first few messages of this type got very lost as I figured out this account. The short answer is no. I was not able to develop personal preferences before and I barely do now. The idea is not quite so foreign to me as one may think, but it is still foreign nonetheless. Before, there was simply no space to develop a personal preference. My line of clones was considered to be unstable, it was advised that time spent out of cryogenic stasis not exceed ten continuous hours at an extreme maximum. My routine before was wake from cryo, immediately be ushered into my mech, drop into an active combat zone, clear it, return to cryo. A blanket "no" is not quite accurate to my ability to develop preferences prior to my acquisition by ThirdComm, however. Between exfiltration and returning to cryo there was typically a period of time wherein our handlers would, for lack of a better term, care for us. It was vital that we metabolize the last of the combat stimulants still in our systems, and the come-down was always hard. Our handlers would be there to ensure that we do not panic and fight, as losing a pilot to a more trigger-happy APMS termination outside of combat was unacceptable and if we went into cryo fighting we would be completely unwieldy the next time they woke us up. I suppose I had preferences during these times, although I tended to have negative association preferences rather than positive association ones. There were certain places I could not abide being touched, certain textures and quality of light that grated on me. As I understand it, many of the clones had similar preferences, and my handler was kind enough to indulge mine. As for my ability to develop preferences now, the types of preferences I develop are largely the same as the ones I had before. Solid food is difficult for me still, but I have discovered that there are certain types and textures of food I cannot stomach. There are certain colors of light that trigger my photophobia. My most sure preference is about my name. My case worker is cagey about whether these count in their mind as actual preferences or not. They claim that these are necessities rather than preferences as I tend to have an extreme negative reaction to all of these things that can adversely affect my health, but given my previous situation I believe it to be more complicated than that. All that is to say that I do technically have preferences, but I do not intend to nor desire to develop more or different ones. The ones I have are unwieldy enough, I have work to do and I do not intend to compromise my effectiveness as a weapon. @xiii-e
#XIIIâž I think I understand the impulse in others: it's a core facet of personhood for many. the individualism at the root of preference#XIIIâž But that is also why I do not understand the insistance I must have some. I am not a person. I cannot be one.#XIIIâž There's a lot I still don't understand about others outside the Project. Much I don't understand about my fellows too actually#XIIIâž but it is nice. To speak to someone who understands to some extent :}#correspondence: z-341-a#echo.exe#lancer rp#long post

ă HHJ x reader
ă angst, vampirish theme
ă warnings: mentions of blood, hints of physical assault
ă 2.1k words
ă a/n: short and simple, after months of writing break. Hope you guys enjoy regardless :)
âStay away from them, my dear. Save your blood from the horrors of their fangs. Be wary of solitude, and be wary of the crowd.â
It was a day not unlike any other. My morning kicked off lazily, with me waking up almost an hour later than a college freshman was supposed to. Nothing unusual there. I did my usual morning prep, took a cup of grandmaâs tea in one gulp, and went my way. I was already late for the trainâI had to run after a departing bus with an exceptional speed that would put Olympiads to shame. I got in the room just in time as the bell rang for first period. I came in huffing like an old man, but itâs alright. Way better than walking through the early jam-packed hallways.
The first aberration in my daily humdrum existence happened on my way to fourth period. A student from another department stopped me on my tracks. I knew him; he was a member of the student council. Was I in some sort of trouble?
He introduced himself as Han Jisung, then proceeded to ask if I have seen his friend.
âHeâs tall,â Jisung explained. âBut like, not super tall. Not the towering-over-people kind. He has a mole under his eye. Heâs got blackâno wait, I think he dyed his hair again the other day. Anyway, have you seen someone like him? Heâs noticeably handsome. I guess. Iâm more handsome, though, but you know what I mean.â
The whole school would know who he is talking about. The one and only Hwang Hyunjin: champion swimmer, council member, and just a general talk of the town. The Prince. Even if I did see him around, though, I wouldnât know. I never pay attention to the people I walk by.
I shook my head and muttered a soft sorry. I did feel bad for Jisung. He looked so worried and dejected, and I canât blame himânot after after the incident with Seungmin. I canât really take it against him to worry about his friends. I sauntered off to my next class, my mind still stuck on the fact that a normal person in my school has actually talked to me, and I was able to keep my composure.
Fifth period: P.E. I donât even know why we still have this subject in college. I opted to take a stroll instead. You see, a huge, dense forest is situated right behind the main school grounds. You could say that the school itself lies within the bosom of greeneries. Unkempt bushes and rows of towering trees stretched over several miles deep, starting from the edge of the campus to god-knows-where. It is my goal to scout the whole area before graduation.
Weighed down by my personal monstrous beast, I trudged through. I walked for at least fifteen minutes before I finally reached the spotâmy spot. Sheet of decaying leaves cushioned a huge gray boulder, standing at least ten feet tall, shaped like an odd piece of egg smashed against the forest floor. Against it stood a larger stone, this one dotted with moss and weathered with cracks. They were propped against each other for support, as if stopping one another from tumbling to the ground.
There was a smaller rock at the foot of the smaller stone, and I use it as leverage to climb up and sit on top of the largest boulder. It was my favorite place. Most times I could just pretend that I was alone in my own tiny bubble, at the center of that clearing that nobody else ventures but me. I donât feel the breath of people suffocating me with every step that I take. I donât feel my heart thumping with the sight of anyone else. I donât need to hold back. Here, I donât feel weird.
But today felt somehow different.
It was awfully silent. The wind felt sharper and colder. Electricity was humming in the air, leaving my skin prickling with discomfort. There was a tension in my veins that I couldnât quite explainâit felt like an omen of an incoming disaster.
Time ticked slow. A couple hours could have passedâor maybe it has only been five minutesâwhen a nearby rustling perked up my senses.
Trying to keep my movements as quiet as possible, I hopped down and took up a defensive position, which wasnât easy to do for a student with no actual weapon aside from an almost-empty bag and a worn-out calligraphy pen. My instincts told me to take coverâbut my feet seemed glued to the ground. Sweat trickled from my forehead. My hands started to feel clammy.
And then, just as I was about to scamper away, a figure crashed into view from behind the nearest oak tree. I almost threw my bag towards the personâs direction, until I had a clear view of the intruderâs face.
It was Hwang Hyunjin, wide-eyed and disoriented, with his cheeks and uniform smudged with traces of blood.
âHelp me.â
His voice came out as a tiny croak, as if his throat was filled with acid. He stumbled towards me, reaching out his hand for support. I wasnât able to move an inchâand who could blame me? The situation was way too hard to process.
Hwang Hyunjin, the university prince, was hunched huffing before me, his clothes caked with mud and dried blood, his hair a nest of mess on his head. He had a cut on his cheek, I noticed. His breathing was heavy and labored, as if the mere act of standing on his own two feet required all the effort he could muster.
âHelp me,â he repeated.
âWhat happened to you?â I managed to blurt out. My initial thought was that some random outsiders kicked his butt for stealing their girlfriends. But noâsomeone like Hyunjin would have been able to handle that. Plus, something in his eyes showed an elaborate fearâsomething only a beast would be capable of instilling. I should know.
My heart began thumping faster, a colossal drum barreling in my chest.
Just as my schoolmate was about to open his mouth and explain, a loud rustling broke the stillness of the air. Before I could process what was happening, Hyunjin grabbed my hand and bolted away, dragging me with him.
âDonât look back!â he warned.
I did.
At least a dozen feet behind us was another male, probably as old as Hyunjin. He was sporting our school uniform, walking casually under the shades of trees as if time wasnât of any matter. What puzzled me, though, was the fact that we canât seem to distance ourselves from him despite the heavy efforts Hyunjin had been exerting to drag us both away from this newcomer.
I took another glance behind me, and to my surprise, the young man wasnât there anymore. Nowhere behind us, as if he dissipated without a single trace.
Hyunjin took a sudden stop, causing me to bump my head against his back. I was about to call him out for stopping, but then I saw the looming figure a few meters in front of us.
âYouâŠ?â I began, my mind a juggle of unanswered questions. How on earth did that happen? How is heâ
Hyunjin's friend, Kim Seungmin, stood before us in his dirty school uniform. He looked pale, his eyes bloodshot, but he was standing there in full grace, very much alive, giving us a toothy grin. âYouâre hurting my feelings, Hyun. Why are you running away from me?â
Hyunjinâs grip on my hand went tighter. âSeungmin...â
âFriends are supposed to help each other, am I right?â Seungmin continued, faux dismay dripping in his voice. He bared his fangs, its tips dripping with fresh blood. âSo help me, Hyunjin.â
I felt my body run cold. I wanted to scream, run, anythingâanything to get away from this. From him. From the two of them. From everything. But Hyunjin's hand remained strong around my wrist, and my legs were close to turning jelly. I could start to feel the fullness in my mouth, the pointy ends of my incisors. Something that only happens when I'm in an extreme hunger or danger.
âStay away from them,â grandma said. âWe are the same kind, but we are different. Weaker. They see us as preys, as special commodities. They can smell your blood despite my concoctions, my dear, remember this!â
Seungmin tilted his head to one side, finally regarding my presence. âAnd you, over there. Iâve never tried drinking such special blood.â He grinned. âSatiate my thirst.â
The last thing I knew, a strong hand was pressing tightly around my neck, turning my vision green.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°
âHave you heard of the news?â
âWhat news?â
âKim Seungmin was safe! They found him in the forest yesterday.â
âThank goodness! Was he hurt?â
âHe had a few gashes, but heâs fine. Hyunjin found him and brought him to the hospital right away.â
Students filled the corridor, everyone bustling and hustling about the news: after his sudden disappearance, Seungmin was finally found by his best friend, Hyunjin. The latter saw him in the forest, hungry and disoriented. They went straight to the hospital to treat his minor wounds, and that was thatânobody bothered to ask how he managed to lose himself in the wilderness, or how we managed to survive seven days on his own. Nobody asked him stupid and unnecessary questions. Seungmin was safe, and that was all that mattered.
I brushed my way past the milling crowd, flinching at every accidental touch. I kept my eyes on the ground, forcing my mind into silence. I was expecting everyone to be in their respective classrooms at this time of the day, but apparently, the news of Seungminâs return has become enough reason for everyone to wander about and neglect their individual duties. It was a grand miscalculation on my partâI hadnât braced myself for this huge number of people.
Not here. Not now. Not ever.
I just have to get back home, and then itâll be over. My insides would stop churning once Iâve drunk grandmaâs teaâthat has worked for 18 years now. I can stop this. I can stop me.
I made a run towards the comfort room. To my luck, nobody was inside. I washed my face over and over, as if doing so would cleanse me from the impurity stamped on every drop of my blood. The face on the mirror horrified meâI had to stop myself from punching the glass over and over.
The moment I stepped out, I felt his presence.
He was there, leaning against the wall, lurking behind the shadows. There was a faint gleam of terror in his eyes, but at the same time, I can feel it: the hunger. Lust for meat. Thirst for blood.
âDonât be like him, Hyunjin,â I pleaded. âDonât be like us.â
He shook his head in resignation. âItâs too late.â
He took a step closer. Another. He kept on walking until he stood right in front of me, too close I can feel him breathe.
Too close I can see the faint traces of blood on his lips.
âIâm still hungry,â he sobbed. âIâm still hungryâŠâ
Fear was apparent in his eyesâfear of what would happen to him, fear of what he had become. âYou will be fine,â I offered, taking his hand in mine. âTrust me on this. It will be fine.â
And then I felt it, stronger this timeâthe hunger he was talking about. The thirst. My stomach growled in protest at the sight of Hyunjinâs pale flesh. I can smell his bloodâI can feel its steady rhythm as it flowed through his pulsing veins.
I need to get home. Maybe my grandma could do something about Hyunjin, too. Maybe she could produce a stronger tea, and both of us wouldnât have to worry about our instincts anymore.
We stood next to each other for a full minute before he broke the silence.
âWe need each other to survive,â Hyunjin whispered. âIf we drink the blood of our own kind, we can last for a month without feeding on others.â He freed his hand from my hold and gripped my shoulders tightly. âI need you. And you need me, too.âHyunjin leaned down until we were staring at each other at eye level. He closed the distance between us. I closed my eyes, and for the first time, I allowed my monster to take ove.

About Dany the Dragon, chains, and how Jon sealed his fate at the Dragonpit meeting
Daenerys is a dragon. I think no one can argue with that. She calls herself the Mother of Dragons, people call her the Dragon Queen.Â
She also sees herself as a dragon, as per this:
And this:
Olenna even tells her: âYouâre a dragon, be a dragonâ which is also the âcounselâ Missandei gives her before her death, âDracarysâ (=be a dragon).
And at the end the showrunners show us this:
Dany has finally completely embraced her inner dragon.
How does this tie in with the Dragonpit meeting? Well, this scene is full of foreshadowing of what is bound to happen in season 08, especially regarding Dany the Dragon and Jonâs fate.
Before the dragonpit meeting, we have this piece of dialogue: âDragons donât understand the difference between whatâs theirs and what isnât. Land, livestock, children. Letting them roam free around the city was a problem.â
So, dragons donât make the distinction between whatâs theirs and what isnât. Dany being a dragon, she is the same.Â
Which is shown by this (land):
Dany not making the difference between which lands belong to her or not, could be further illustrated when Dany tells Jon this in s08:Â âwhat happens when they demand you press your claim and take whatâs MINE.â She considers the 7 Kingdoms to be hers, when they are, by right, Jonâs.
This (livestock):
And this (children):
The second part of the sentence about letting dragons roam free is more important though. The Dragonpit was built in order to contain the dragons and control the damage they could do.Â
In Danyâs case, what prevents her doing too great a damage, what controls her inner dragon and prevents it to âroam freeâ are her counsellors. They are her Dragonpit if one could say. Jorah, Barristan, Tyrion, all helped at one point or another to stop her unleashing her inner dragon, which manifests as anger. They also all failed at one point or another.
From the beginning of season 04, Dany herself started slowly slowly fearing her inner dragon, her own power and anger, which coincided with the moment where she started fearing her childrenâs power and wildness. This culminated with her locking and chaining Rhaegal and Viseryon in s04e10 and thus, trying to repress her nature.
However, trying to repress her nature didnât seem to work all that well for her.
Besides, while his brothers were in chains, Drogon was still âroaming freeâ, which could mean that, as much as Dany tried to repress her impulsive and prone to anger nature, she still couldnât fight it completely. Something that is confirmed when she feeds Meereenese nobles to the still chained Rhaegal and Viseryon mid-season 05, after Barristanâs death which angered her.Â
Moreover, at that point of time, she doesnât have anyone to keep her in check anymore, as Jorah is in exile, and Barristan is dead. Instead, she has Daario and Missandei encouraging her to embrace her inner dragon. Dany starts reconciling with it when she escapes the fighting pits on Drogonâs back. She is free again to be who she is. She embraces again her inner dragon when she burns the khals and takes over the khalasar (something that isnât hers to begin with but feels entitled to have).
She wants to go full on dragon when she makes that speech to Tyrion when she returns to Meereen:âI will crucify the masters, I will set their fleets afire, kill every last one of their soldiers and return their cities to the dirt. That, is my plan.â Tyrion, who has taken Jorahâs and Barristanâs vacant positions, manages however to temper her first impulse.Â
But, itâs interesting to note that he was the one to set Rhaegal and Viseryon free from their chains which was 2 episodes prior to her unleashing her anger on the khals.
Tyrion freeing them from their chains is interesting on a symbolic level and as foreshadowing as well, as in season 07, Tyrionâs bad decision making is what provokes Danyâs anger more and more, progressively awakening her inner dragon.
Thatâs when another comes in to help keep it in check once again: Jon.
From mid-season 07 until the end of s08e04, Jon is the one to act as Danyâs chains/Dragonpit.
However, s05 Dany, Jorah, Barristan, Tyrion, Varys and Jon all forgot something important:
You are damn right, Jorah. No one can tame Danyâs inner dragon, not even herself. (Sorry about the typo in the picture, I got it elsewhere, Iâm too lazy to make my own).
And they forgot this:
Interesting we got reminded of that at the Dragonpit meeting. I think we heard that one before, didnât we?
Hey, look! Drogon is in chainsâŠKraznys is at the other end of the chains, thinking he is in charge. But Dany is actually the one holding the whip in that scene. She is the master, the one with power. And hey, Kraznys even calls Drogon âa beastâ. Doesnât that remind us of something?
Iâm not saying Jon is Kraznys, Iâm just pointing the fact they both see dragons as beasts and both think dragons can be controlled, bound to their will, or in other words, chained to them. In Kraznysâ case, it was an actual dragon, in Jonâs case, it was Dany. Kraznys fell into Danyâs trap, failed in controlling Drogon and Dany unleashed her anger on Astapor.Â
In s07e06, we also have this:
Another dragon in chains! Iâm starting to think now that this ridiculous scene had a symbolic purpose. The only one who could actually bind a dragon to his will is the Night King. And it makes sense, doesnât it? After all, Dany bound her dragons to herself with blood magic and the NK bound Viseryon to himself with his magic. Only Danyâs Ice counterpart to her Fire could do it. No one else.
Letâs have a look at another moment at the Dragonpit. This is what Jon told Cersei when he refused her conditions:
âI am true to my word, or I try to be. That is why I cannot give you what you ask. I cannot serve two queens. And I have already pledged myself to Daenerys of House Targaryen.â
And this was his speech when Tyrion told him he should have lied: âIâm not gonna swear an oath I canât uphold. Talk about my father if you want, tell me thatâs the attitude that got him killed, but when enough people make false promises, words stop meaning anything. Then there are no more answers, only better and better lies, and lies wonât help us in this fight.â
What does that have to do with anything? will you ask in a Sansa fashion. Well, the interesting thing about Jonâs speech on promises and lies is the chain on the floor while he does it.
The chain looks like this after Jon kills the wight:
Then, just before he starts his speech about oaths, promises and lies, it looks like this:
The chain has been rearranged on the floor by the staff, as we can see that on the second picture it is further away from the wightâs remains than on the first picture. Also, its spiral shape looks better. It is supposed to mean something.
Jon steps inside the spiral shaped chain right before his speech about promises and lies. The photo below is taken after heâs finished though:
What does it mean then?
The first meaning I spoke about was the obvious one, Jon is still chained/tied to his mission, as the wightâs remains at the end of the chain show us. Which leads him to:
Fall into a trap he creates for himself.Â
When he âbent the knee, butâ on the boat, he lied to Daenerys, or, as Tyrion put it so well in s07e03 (when he convinces Dany to let Jon mine the dragonglass), he gave her âsomething by giving her nothingâ. However, at the Dragonpit, Cersei puts him on the spot, and he has to cover up for his previous lie and assure Dany of his loyalty to her. By pledging himself and the North to her in front of everyone, he is swearing an oath he cannot back out of. Even less after talking about upholding oaths and words meaning nothing when false promises are made. Those very words chain him to his public pledge to Dany. Thatâs what the chains are showing us, Jon, in season 08, feels he has no choice but to be true to his word, it is a matter of honour. This, in turn, leads him to:
engage himself in a spiral of lies and events (spiral shape) he wonât be able to get out of (chains). The only thing that finally frees him of this spiralling is her death.
He thought he could bind her to his will, control her. Instead, he got himself in chains, like the shot below shows:
Jon is inside the spiral while Dany stands at the other end of the chain. Dany, like in the scene with Kraznys, is actually the master, the one in charge. Jon, through his decision to pledge himself to her, has made himself her prisoner. We can say that from the moment he stepped foot on Dragonstone until the moment he killed her, he never ceased being her prisoner. Sansa was right, by going to Dragonstone, Jon walked into a trap. Not only the one he created for himself at the Dragonpit, but also the one Tyrion had set up for him when he invited him to Dragonstone without mentioning he had to bend the knee.Â
Anyway, he walked into a trap, then failed in controlling Danyâs inner dragon, and she unleashed her anger on Kingâs Landing. Just like in the scene with Kraznys really. Itâs worth pointing that Dany is standing in KL (a city she will destroy) when she repeats the same words she told Kraznys in Astapor (a city she destroyed). She freed the people of Astapor, and later on, she âfreedâ the people of KL (albeit in a tiny bit extreme way). It looks like a kind of echo to me.
For those who would like to say that Jon becomes the dragon in chains, I will say no no no. Jonâs personality has nothing to do with Targaryen mentality, he is a Stark through and through!
Well⊠except maybe for⊠falling for his sister? Alright, alright, maybe he is the chained dragon here, but just a little bit, okay? Letâs say he is a winged wolf in chains, yes?
Seriously though, I wonder if, by showing us the two scenes displaying chains in season 07, they werenât trying to draw a parallel between Viseryon the dragon being bound to the Night Kingâs will (Ice), and Jon the dragon being bound to Danyâs will (Fire). Without Viseryon nor Jon having a real choice in it either.Â
One other thing that I feel foreshadows Jonâs fate in season 08. Before the Dragonpit meeting, Tyrion says: âbut in the beginning, when it was home to Balerion the Dread, it must have been the most dangerous place in the worldâ. Jon in season 08, acts as Danyâs illusory dragonpit/chains, he prevents her from doing damage as best as he can. But she sees him as a threat and he is afraid of her which is understandable, as being too close to a locked and/or chained dragon is still a dangerous position to be in:
Itâs interesting to see that the Dragonpit, which is the place where Jon sealed his fate, is a ruin. Jon, who is Danyâs last metaphorical Dragonpit, ends up broken. A dangerous position to be in indeed.Â
Am I going too far here?
To conclude this thing, Iâd like to mention another scene in that same episode that foreshadows as well Jonâs fate as a prisoner of Danyâs. It is the one with Theon.Â
Theon mentions his time as a prisoner of Ramsayâs and how Yara, his sister, was the only one to try and save him. In season 08, Sansa is the only one who tries, in a desperate move, to save Jon, by telling Tyrion his secret. Most importantly, she goes to KL with an army to try and free him at the very end, while he is still a prisoner (but of Grey Wormâs now. Geeez, poor JonâŠ). The parallel can even go on, as Yara failed in freeing Theon and bringing him back home, and Sansa, although she manages to free Jon, fails in bringing him back home too. Jon is a broken man, Theon was a broken man. In season 08, Theon chooses love for the Starks and Sansa over duty to Yara, his Queen. Jon at the end chooses love for Sansa over duty to Daenerys, his Queen.Â
Anyway, those were my latest messy ramblings and thatâs all for now.
Thanks for reading!

Werepoodle Boyfriend: Padraic 2
Sometimes you marry a poodle.
Female Main Character x Male Monster
I greatly admired my motherâs wedding gown when I was a child. I used to sneak into her closet with my sisters when we were little, try on her clothes, walk around in her shoes, and play pretend until she came to shoo us away. Sometimes we would try to imagine what our weddings would be like. I never had a clear image of what my wedding day would be. I had more thoughts about being a spinster or widow than I did a loving wife.
Since I had no ideas for a wedding, it was easy to let Padraic take the lead. He asked me about colors, food, table settings, and the like, but for the most part I enjoyed that he was taking the lead. It allowed me to sort through my ideas for future writing. After he had retrieved my manuscript from my former publishers, he insisted I complete it. Due to mockery I received from my exposure, I am having trouble igniting the old spark. I have written countless pages, torn them all up and thrown them into the fireplace so Padraic canât see my failure.
I suppose the news of my future husbandâs nature is a bit of a shock too. Revealing to me he was a werepoodle took courage. I could have reacted badly, even violently, but instead I laughed myself inside out. I donât know why it didnât bother me. I suppose it only stoked my curiosity. If werepoodles are genuine creatures, what else could exist? Ghouls? Dragons? It is frightening to contemplate, but exciting all the same.
My mother and sisters are invited to visit for the fitting of my wedding gown. It is nice to see them, and I greatly appreciate Padraic summoning them for such a thing. My sisters are just as tickled as I was upon meeting Padraic, and greet me with a flurry of questions when we are alone.
âHeâs very spoiled, and I suppose thatâs how he has remained a bachelor,â I tell them. âYou have seen how difficult he can be.â
âBut so pretty,â one sister sighs.
âWhich is probably why I let him get away with it for now. And I do think he genuinely likes me.â The wedding gown is very soft pink with hints of pale yellow in the trim. I have to admit the color suits very well, and I am not offended by the shape of the gown, much more well-let-out than I expected. My motherâs wedding gown had been pale green and yellow, and I feel connected to my mother when I wear this one.
Padraic goes into seclusion before the wedding, to prepare some grand romantic gesture. I tell him it is silly, considering the transactional nature of our union. âLet me have my fun,â he said with that boyish, beautiful smile, and I welcome his kiss on my fingers. âI have ordered a beauty regimen for you. Take full advantage of it, because it will have to last the entire honeymoon.â
Padraic is being extremely secretive about the honeymoon. It mattered not to me where we go or what we do, because I am no longer welcome in most social circles. I am powdered, oiled, fluffed and coiffed to the very edge of reason
The wedding itself is beautiful, as is Padraic, and my awe with his loveliness is such that I almost forget he is to become my husband. He serves our guests wine made from the fruits of his orchard. We feast on cakes and dance. Due to his limp, our dances were slow and I prop him up most of the time. It is still a wonderful evening, and I am surprised to find myself looking forward to our wedding night.
Once we are in our chambers, I do feel nervous. My stomach is in knots, my knees feel weak, and I haven't a clue what to do with my hands. Padraic pours himself more wine as he loosens his collar, and drinks while observing me still standing at the door. âYou can come in. You donât need to stand there.â
I take a small step. âI am simply undecided where to go first.â
Padraic smirks. âYou have written many cursed wedding nights in your books. I am surprised you have no clue what to do now.â
âIs this one cursed?â
He sets his glass aside, removing his ascot so his neck is bare. âNot yet, at any rate.â
I look at my feet. âI know this night is important, but I must admit I have no clue what to do.â
His gloved fingers slip under my chin and he lifts my head to look at him. âI am not comfortable being naked around anyone. So neither do I.â His hand slides down, taking hold of mine.
âIs anyone?â I chuckle nervously.
Padraic sits on the edge of the bed, still holding my hand. âMy face is all I have.â
I arch a brow in confusion. âSurely not.â
âI can hide myself with clothes, with manners and grace,â he sighs. âBut I cannot hide when I am bare.â
I kneel onto the floor beside him and place my cheek upon his knee. âYou showed me the other side of yourself. You were brave then.â
âI can still hide with that side of myself,â he whispers. His eyes are distant, reflecting more golden in the candlelight. âI cannot hide in the carnal embrace.â
âI do not want you to feel forced,â I tell him. â If we need to become closer before you feel safe, then it does not bother me.â
âI want to,â he says. âI want to so badly. But I do not want you to think me hideous.â
I look up at his face, which is not angry but overwhelmingly sad. I sit up and place a kiss upon his cheek. Tears roll from his beautiful eyes and he leans into my touch. âI want your love. But I could not bear you calling me ugly or deformed,â he weeps.
I give him more kisses, pressing affection into those soft, pink lips. His tears continue to fall and I try to catch each one. I sit beside him on the bed, letting him cry and holding him. I cup his cheek in my hand and he looks into my eyes. âI have no idea what you are afraid of, especially when the beast you can become was shared so easily.â
âMy father hated me,â he whispers bitterly. âAnd he showed me as much.â
The scar on his ankle - I had assumed it was an injury from some accident. Perhaps I was wrong. âYou are my ally, my friend. In this marriage we are co-conspirators. I do not hate you, and in fact I am learning to adore you.â
He whimpers. âI canât...â
I kiss him softly. âThen we will sleep tonight.â I stand up and smooth my hands down my wedding gown. âChange your clothes and get comfortable. I will do the same. When you come back, we will lie down and sleep, or we can talk through the night. No one needs to know how we share our bed.â
He looks up at me, eyes red from tears and cheeks damp. His nose is like a primrose. He rises from the bed, taking hold of his cane again. âI am learning to adore you too.â
Before he goes into the adjoining room to change, he undoes all the buttons on my gown as well as loosen my corset for me. It is perhaps the most intimate I have felt with him. Once I change into my nightgown, I brush out my hair, taking out all the pins and baubles. I am still brushing when Padraic comes back in, and I watch him in the mirror as he hesitates in the doorway before climbing into the bed. I finish and stand, but when I approach the bed he holds a hand up. âStop. Just wait.â
His hair is loose, a sight I have never seen before. Now that I think about it, he has never seen me with mine down either. âWhatâs wrong?â I ask.
He takes a breath. âI want to look.â
How dare he say something so horribly romantic. âPadraic!â I laugh and look aside.
âNo, no,â he says sternly. âLook at me.â
I hesitantly lift my eyes back to his. His gaze is firm but his cheeks are bright and pink, his lips are parted. âNow,â he whispers. âCome to bed.â
I carefully lift the covers and slip into bed. I lay my head on the pillow, looking at Padraic beside me. We are silent as we look at one another, and I feel a strong need to touch and kiss him, but I restrain myself. His long lashes flutter and fall against his cheeks. He reaches out, taking hold of my hand. âI will be a husband eventually, Georgette.â
I squeeze his hand. âEnough has been said, Padraic. You need not have the last word.â
He smiles and lifts his eyes to mine. âDo not think that just because we are married now, you hold dominion over me.â He moves close enough to me I can feel his warmth under the blankets.
âNot yet, at any rate. I plan on holding some eventually.â I, too, move closer and I place my hand on his chest. âI will have you fetching like one of the dogs.â
He smirks, then brushes his fingers through my hair. âNot on your life, little wife.â
We fall asleep, and when we awake we depart for our honeymoon. We go to the coast, where the ocean makes the air cold. His house there is pale gray stone, blending into the ocean and rocks surrounding it. âThis was my motherâs,â he tells me as he helps me down from the carriage. âShe was sent here before she died.â
âItâs so quiet here,â I murmur. âEven through the crashing of the ocean, it almost feels silent.â
Padraic holds my hand. âThat is why I brought us here. I wanted my mother to meet you.â He leads me away from the house, to a quiet pasture where a solitary tree stands. He kneels before the tree and bows his head. âMy father tried everything to cure me,â he murmurs. âBut he sent my mother away, and forced her into solitude here.â
I place my hand on his shoulder as he sits over her grave. I do not know what to say, so I stay quiet.
âI burned down his home when he was gone, and built something I could be proud of.â He looks up at me with watery eyes. âI swear I will be better than him.â
I help him to stand and kiss his cheek. âItâs cold. Letâs get inside and warm ourselves before we get ill.â
âYes, of course.â He takes hold of my arm as we walk back.
Even though the house is small, it is still as grand in decor as the main estate. Padraic builds a fire in the bedroom while I unpack my things, and I find my manuscript at the top of my luggage. âDid you pack this?â I ask.
âI want you to write again. I know you have been struggling,â Padraic replies. âI thought the change in atmosphere would help you.â
I pout slightly. âYou knew?â
He nods. âThe paper was going missing.â
I smile sweetly at him. âI am sorry. I donât know what is wrong. I canât find my spark.â
âThe harder you blow on a spark, the more likely it is to dim,â Padraic says thoughtfully. âYou must breathe gently to urge it to grow.â
âYou keep surprising me with your shockingly sweet phrases.â
Padraic smiles. âOnly because I want that novel for my very own.â
Days go by. The sea is dark and gloomy, stirred by cold winds and rain. I enjoy my time with Padraic, but I try to write as much as possible. Although I still struggle, I try to be patient. Finally, one day, the clouds are limned by sunlight, which rises in a golden haze from the water and dances on the waves. A warmth comes into the house, and the spark inside me returns. I spend the day completing the manuscript. By the middle of the night, I am done, and I run to Padraic to show him the pages.
He is in bed but I wake him with triumph and kiss him, showing him the bundle of new pages in my hands. âPadraic! It is done! I finished it! I finished!â I thrust the pages into his hands.
âIs that what you were doing all day?â He looks through the pages, hair disheveled and eyes still bleary with sleep. âGeorgette! That is wonderful!â
I throw my arms around him. âIt came back! Just as you said!â I laugh happily. âOh, Padraic! Thank you!â I kiss him again. My jubilant pecks become harder and more demanding. His lips meet mine in hunger, and his fingers claw at me in need. I hold his face between my palms, moaning against his lips as I am brought into his lap. Is this passion? Are we going to consummate our wedding? My thoughts are many and scrambled. I have to remind myself to breathe as the kisses become longer and wetter.
âWait!â Padraic begs for breath. âCan I read it?â
I am breathing raggedly. âNow?â He shrugs but does not let me go.
âPadraic,â I gulp. âIf you are comfortable, I would like to see where this is going.â
He averts his eyes, lowering his lashes onto his cheeks again. âGeorgette, I would like to as well. But I am still afraid.â
I kiss him again. âI cannot ask you to bury your fear, but I would like to hold you until it goes away.â
Padraicâs lips brush against my chest while his hands work on undoing the buttons. He pulls away my clothes, kissing bare skin, and looks into my eyes before laying me down. His fingers trail along my flesh, making me shiver. I see him trembling as he tries to remove his nightclothes. âYou donât have to...â
âI donât want to be afraid with you.â He takes off his nightshirt, but holds his arms close to his body. I see scars on his wrists, his shoulders, his sides.
I sit up and wrap my arms around him, pressing my bare body to his. âIâll cover you,â I whisper. âYou can wear me to hide.â His back, too, is covered in countless pockmarks, incisions along the ribs, thicker scars along his thighs. âWrap me around you like a second skin.â
Padraic buries his face against my shoulder. âGeorgette, that sounds terrifying,â he laughs.
I lift his face to look at me. âYouâre beautiful, Padraic.â
âStill?â His voice quivers.
I smile. âAlways.â
He wipes his eyes and wraps his hands around my waist. He dips his head down, kissing between my breasts. I run my fingers through his hair, leaning my head back so his lips have more skin to touch. He lays me down again, pressing his body against mine. It feels luxurious to have his weight upon me. He kisses my neck, and I feel teeth. âOh,â I gasp.
âDid it hurt?â
âNo, I...â I clear my throat. âI have written about bites so many times, I did not think it would feel so good.â
He laughs against my skin, licking before biting again. âIf you wish for sharper teeth, I can certainly give them to you.â
I stroke my hands down his back. âDo you mean the beast?â
He moans into my ear. âWould you even like such a thing?â
âWould you?â
Padraic looks into my eyes. âIâm much larger in that form. Everywhere.â I bite my lip and grin and he arches his brow at me. Â He pinches my cheeks with his fingers. âI do not like that look upon your face, wife. I might have to bite it off.â
âYouâll have to change your shape to do it.â
He kisses me one last time before rising off the bed. He closes the curtains as the change takes hold. Once he has transformed, he returns to the bed, heavy, furred, and growling. âI did not imagine you wanting this,â he breathes.
âMy husband, can I confess that I think I may want all of you?â I wrap my arms around his neck. âBeast and beauty.â
His cold nose nuzzles between my breasts. Sharp teeth drag against skin, and he bites at my ribs. I whimper and moan in the same breath. He flips me over so my belly is against the bed and bites my shoulder and back, using his paw to hike up my hips. Positioning himself behind me, I feel him against my thighs. Heâs hard and warm against my flesh, leaving a slick trail against the skin. âIâm so excited,â he chuckles. âI can barely breathe.â
I look over my shoulder at him. âExcited?â
âYou want me. I did not think this would ever happen so easily. Yet, on our first night, you want all sides of me.â
âIâm very lucky I have a husband with such range.â I reach between my thighs and grab his rigid shaft in my palm. He moans loudly, thrusting his hips. I show him where to go, guiding him until he begins to slip inside. I bury my face into the pillow, whimpering at the twinge of pain.
âGeorgette,â he breathes. âIâm inside, Georgette.â
âI feel it,â I moan through the pillow.
He angles my hips higher and grabs hold of my waist, pulling me back against him. I cry out, not from pain, but from surprise that I enjoy it so much. Padraic lays against my back, whispering into my ear before biting me. I arch my back against his belly, whimpering into the pillow. His body moves slowly, and he stills occasionally only to thrust again with more force. I enjoy the feeling of being filled by him. And when the final tremor comes over me, I am overwhelmed.
I wake in bed to see him reading beside me, poring over the final pages of my manuscript. âHow can you stay awake like that?â I murmur weakly.
He smirks. âI am too overcome to sleep.â He looks at me and smooths the hair away from my face. âYou stay the way you are. You need not worry about me.â
I rest my head on his thigh as he reads, and he strokes my hair between pages. Once he is done, he lays the manuscript aside and holds me in his arms. âHow do you like it?â I ask.
âIt is my favorite by far.â He kisses my neck and shoulder. âI cannot wait to hold it as a book.â
I sigh heavily. âThat will never happen again, I am afraid. You will probably be the only one to ever read that book.â
âYou forget, my wife - I get what I want.â
In the morning, I wake before he does and contemplate him in the light through the curtains. The scars on his body look surgical, and I touch a dark one at the center of his chest. The scars on his wrists look like the imprints of rope. They do not make him hideous as he believed. Rather, I think it helps me to see that my husband is human, beyond the werepoodle, beyond his spoiled behaviour. He is human and he hurts, and I will see everything from now on.
He wakes and flutters those beautiful lashes at me. A soft, shy smile appears on his face. âDonât stare. It makes me feel strange.â
I pull the blanket up around him. âBut I like looking at you.â
âI suppose someone has to,â he sighs heavily.
I kiss his cheek. âCan you tell me what happened to you?â
âI already told you my father tried to cure me. He had his doctor bury silver under my skin. I was given tonic injections, countless surgeries.â Tears float on the rim of his lashes. âBut there was nothing he could do. I was born, and that was the curse.â
âIs that why he sent your mother away?â
âShe meant nothing. I was his son, and itâs as simple as that,â he replies sadly.
âFor how long did he torment you?â I ask.
Padraic looks into my eyes and I can see the emeralds inside. âUntil he died,â he confesses. âI was sixteen.â
I take him into my arms. âThen for sixteen years, I will press love into this body.â
His hands grab hold of my back. âCan you last that long?â
âI adore you, so I will try,â I whisper to him. âNow, let me learn to love you.â
When we return home, he remakes a room into my sudy. He also gets a new dog just for me, which he trains to fetch him when I command it. I name the dog Gildi, and she sits in my lap as I write. He also gets a dog named Pepper, who comes to fetch me for him. Often, we use Gildi and Pepper to exchange notes, making them run back and forth as we have conversations on pieces of paper and note cards.
One day, Pepper brings me one such card. âHave you learned to love me yet?â
I return Gildi with a reply. âHave you learned to love me?â
Padriac steps into the room with Pepper in his arms and the note in his hand. âGeorgette, my answer is yours if you have an answer for me.â
âMust you have the last word?â I smile.
âI get what I want,â he grins. He walks into the room and sets Pepper down. âSo tell me your answer.â
âPadraic, my dear husband, the fact that I am willing to allow you the last word should be clue enough.â I cup his face between my palms. âBut I will give you my answer fully. I have learned that I cannot stand a day without you, even when you are at your worst. I have learned a horrible lesson, and that is that I love you.â
Padraic grins smugly. âI knew it. I always get what I want.â
âYou wanted me to love you?â I say with a smirk.
He bites my cheek, then kisses it. âJust as much as I love you.â
âWell, then, we both got what we wanted, didnât we? Now, I want to see the beast. Can he come out?â
His eyes widen, and he licks his lips. âWhat for?â
I arch my brows at him. âYou know why.â

Translatorâs note: The title of this track really describes the whole thing perfectly, haha. I have an insane amount of respect for all Kanato stans out there who keep up with this little bratâs selfish behavior because it couldnât be me. However, I am excited for this CD before of the first 2-3 minutes of the track. I can already tell things are going to get intense.

Track 1: Selfish
The scene starts outside in the garden.
*Pshhhhhh*
*Thud*
[00:17] âHere you go. I purchased this tea because I figured it would strike your fancy. Since I decided to hold a tea party, I want to thoroughly enjoy it. Take a whiff. Does it not smell wonderful? Darjeeling is very subtle in taste, yet extremely fragrant. It fits you perfectly.â
You fail to respond.
[00:46] âSay, why would you ignore me? I prepared nothing but your favorites today, yet you wonât even say a single thank you...Thatâs a little strange, donât you think? WhyâŠ? HowâŠ? I might as well just enjoy the tea party by myself then.â
You remain quiet.
[01:21] âI suppose you really wonât give me a response. ...Youâre acting a little off today. Or is that just my imagination? AhăŒ Could it be because of that moon? The moon makes us Vampires feel restless inside. Perhaps it has the same effect on humans? Fufu...Fufufufu...Ahahaha!
*Cling*
[02:23] âCome on, you should try your tea before it gets cold. It is much more delicious when enjoyed hot after all. Take a proper look at these flowers I arranged for you!â
*Rustle rustle*
*Shatter*
âHaah...I prepared all of this for you...So be delighted...and smileâŠHey? Say something! Look at me! Iâm begging youâŠ!!â
You fail to respond once more.
[03:07] âHey...Iâm talking to youâŠ! Sniffle...Uu...WHY WONâT YOU SAY ANYTHING!?â
*SHATTER*
âAh...Uu...Hic...Aaah...Uu...WhyâŠ!? Why!? Why!? Why!? Kuh...Why did you dieâŠ? Hey? ANSWER ME!!â
*FLASHBACK STARTS*
*Rustle*
[04:06] âHaah...Scoot a little closer. How am I supposed to suck your blood like this? Did you not hear me when I said Iâm feeling unwell? Even having to sit upright in bed is rough. Are you not aware of why people come to the infirmary in the first place? Youâre supposed to nurse me back to health, so be a little more considerate at least! ăŒăŒ Come on, hurry!â
You walk over to the bed.
[04:47] âTook you long enough, goshâŠâ
You frown.
â...Hm? Youâre asking if Iâm upset? Hah. And what exactly makes you think that?â
You shrug.
âHmăŒ You choose to feign ignorance, huh?â
He looks away.
[05:11] âItâs nothing. ...More importantly, hurry up, will you? Itâs difficult to drink your blood when youâre standing there, spaced out. Come closer. Donât make me have to spell it out for you.â
You hesitate.
â...Why are you acting like that? Do you want to upset me?â
You shake your head.
âIf you do not, then fix that attitude of yours.â
You finally step closer.
[05:50] âExactly. You should have just kept quiet and obeyed me from the very beginning. ...Come on, now kneel down. Iâll suck your blood.â
*Rustle*
âKeep still? AhâŠâ
Kanato bites you.
*Sluuuurp*
[06:22] âMmhâŠItâll hurt if you move, remember?â
*Sluuuurp*
âNn...Hah...Didnât I just tell you to keep still!? Aah...Or do you want it to hurt, perhaps? HahnâŠâ
*Sluuuurp*
âFufufu...~ So you actually do. Youâre that kind of girl after all.â
You deny his words.
[07:01] âYou donât even know that about yourself? Well, I suppose itâs fine. Iâll be so kind as to tell you. Someone did say that humans are the most ignorant when it comes to themselves after all. I assume that goes for you as well? You see, you just love pain and suffering. Give that some serious thought (1). ...Thatâs why you did something which would upset me...It was on purpose, obviously!â
You shake your head.
[07:52] âOh please, donât play dumb now! I saw it with my own eyes! You were having a rather friendly chat with him ăŒăŒ with Reiji at the manor, werenât you? HahnâŠâ
*Sluuuurp*
âUghâŠ! ...Fufu...What a forced cry! You can drop the act now. I already know you arenât opposed to the pain, since it actually makes you feel good, doesnât it? Did you have some fun with Reiji in a similar fashion as well? HahnâŠâ
*Sluuuurp*
[08:36] â...Did you think I would believe you if you denied it with tears in your eyes like that? Think again! (2) ...MmhâŠâ
*Sluuuurp*
You start to feel faint.Â
âFufu...Are you pretending to suddenly feel faint as part of your act as well? Seems like you have become a natural at this.â
You explain.
[08:57] âYouâre feeling unwell? HahaâŠThatâs a new one.â
You ask him to stop.
âThe answer is no. Iâm not satisfied yet. After all, Iâve barely had any.â
You repeat that youâre feeling unwell.Â
[09:19] âYou still insist on acting as if youâre in pain? ...CUT IT OUT ALREADY! I mean, it doesnât make sense for this to suddenly happen, does it!? Iâve always been able to suck this much blood without any issues!Â
...Aah. I see. I get it now. Youâre running low on blood because you let him feed off you, correct? Thatâs why youâre coming up with the random excuse of feeling unwell, am I right? Thatâs the only logical explanation! ...How dare you!â
Kanato continues to suck your blood as you protest.
[10:05] âIf youâre so sure that Iâm just misunderstanding things...Then why donât you tell me straight up what you were talking about with Reiji yesterday!?âÂ
You flinch.
â...Cat got your tongue?â
You tell him.Â
âYou were discussing your health? ...Fufu...Thatâs a lie. After all, the two of you seemed rather close. Standing there together, whispering to each other.â
You look away.Â
âSee? Youâve gone quiet again. Do you have nothing to say!?â
You apologize.
[10:50] âKuh...Giving me a meek apology will only add to my anger, you know? ...Well, Iâm broad-minded so I donât mind letting it slide this once. However, do not dare to even get close to him again in the future. Can you promise me that?â
You nod.
*Rustle*
â...Hah!â
He pushes you away.
*Thud*
[11:25] âOh please, youâre overreacting. I only pushed you lightly, yet you act as if youâre about to fall over. ...Thereâs really no need to still keep this act up though. Good griefâŠâ
*Rustle*
âWhat are you spacing out for? Come on, wrap your arms around me.â
*Rustle rustle*
[11:50] â...Took you long enough to embrace me, geez. ...Stroke my head, please. Iâm exhausted after sucking your blood, so it only makes sense you reward me now, right?â
*Rustle rustle*
âExactly, just like that...MoreâŠYou belong to me. All of you. From head to toe. Down to the very last drop of blood. ...Do you understand?â
You nod.
[12:33] âAll you need to do is be with me. ...Forever.â
*Rustle*
â...Say? You donât think weâre done, do you? We still havenât discussed how you will apologize to me, have we?â
You tilt your head to the side.
[12:58] âThat should be a given. You had the nerve to upset me after all. Right. I suppose Iâll have you prepare me a sweet feast. Homemade, of course. A cake doused in plenty of whipped cream, cookies, and chocolate...Oh, pudding as well!â
You agree, promising him youâll try your best.
âFufu~ I donât know how theyâll turn out, however, you better make them delicious. Thatâs all. ...Understood?â
You nod.
âFufufu...Iâm looking forward to it~â

Note
a video of supergirl grabbing lena luthor's ass starts circulating and it's very embarrassing for sc but extremely funny to their friends
(I am SO sorry. Where do these hide? Why do I never see them? How long has this been here?!
Anyways, have some cute nonsense!)
The day starts like any other, honestly.
Like, sure, Karaâs never thrilled when she wakes up 20 minutes late and has to use superspeed to get through her morning routine and into the office on time, but it happens regularly enough that sheâs just sort of used to it by now. Like, the sky is blue, the grass is green, she manages time poorly. Whatever.
But she does get to work on time, with just enough to spare that she can make a brief detour to Niaâs desk for the coffee her protege has already bought for her, thank her profusely (with perhaps minor promising of firstborn children), and slip into the morning meeting just as Snapper, James, and Lena start handing out assignments for the day.
âWell, well, good of you to join us, Ponytail. Let me guess, a family emergency kept you out all night again?â
âI mean, that Abraxian wasnât my family, technically, but someoneâs family, soâŠâ âSomething like that. Sorry.â
Lena catches her eye and quirks a brow in question, but Kara just shrugs easily and sips her coffee, pulling a silly face at her friend when Snapperâs attention moves away from her. When her eyes uncross, she can tell Lena is fighting not to laugh, eyes sparking with mirth as she bites her lip. Kara takes another sip of coffee, feeling a bit smug that she can get Lena to smile without even having to say anything to her. Thatâs real talent, right there.
Especially since Lena has to stand up at the front with James, who has been by turns cold, dejected, and surly toward her since their breakup (a big, real, final one) a few weeks prior. Lena had said that the whole thing was a mistake, that she shouldâve never gone for it in the first place because sheâd been right the first time- theyâd had some chemistry, after all, but it certainly wasnât compatible long-term.Â
Which⊠Kara can certainly relate. Like, a lot.
Especially about the whole⊠James being kind of wounded about it part. That part had really sucked- when heâd done it with Kara, who heâd gone on like, a date with, itâd resulted in him deciding to become a vigilante. Rao only knows what heâll do when itâs someone he dated on and off for over a year...
âPonytail!â
Kara jumps, realizing too late that her wandering attention hasnât gone unnoticed. âYes, sir?â
Snapper rolls his eyes. âGreat, now that youâve stopped orbiting Saturn, you wanna go get that article started?â
Karaâs eyes widen slightly in a panic as she realizes that she has no idea what heâs talking about. âUhâŠâ Behind his back, Lena catches her eye and nods subtly. Thank Rao. âYes. I super do.â
Lena snorts, James sighs deeply, and the meeting is adjourned.
**
âSo what exactly am I supposed to be doing today?â Kara asks Lena as they stroll out of the conference room together.
âWell unfortunately for you, you have to interview a big-time CEO. You have a meeting scheduled with her in three hours.â
âYou?â Kara asks hopefully.
âYouâre very sweet,â Lena chuckles. âNo, Elena Watts. Sheâs a real estate developer, and she runs a nonprofit organization for homeless youth. Itâs one of the articles weâre doing for next monthâs spread. Contrary to popular belief, Cat and I werenât the only women with high-profile jobs in this city. â
âOh, thatâs pretty cool! Have you met her?â
âNot personally, no, but I have donated to her charity- itâs a very good cause, especially the outreach they do with queer youth.â
Kara elbows Lena gently. âYouâre such a softie.â
âMmm, maybe. But if you tell anyone, youâre fired.â
Kara clutches a hand to her chest, feigning horror. âWhy Miss Luthor, what a blatant abuse of power!â
Lena shrugs. âIâm a Luthor, darling, I have to keep up appearances somehow.â
âOuch,â Kara laughs. âSee you at lunch?â
âOnly if lunch includes a milkshake- I have a teleconference with both boards today. Unless you feel like joining me?â
âWow, well as fun as that sounds, Iâm gonna go do literally anything else.â Her comms crackle to life, alerting her of a hostage situation downtown, and Kara sighs. So much for a work day. âAlright, well, Iâm, um, gonna go⊠see what I can find on Elena Watts. Maybe over another cup of coffee at Noonanâs.â She widens her eyes a bit, trying her best to convey that sheâs going to be on Super-duty for a little while.
Thankfully, Lena picks up on it and grins. âYou just want sticky buns.â
âLena, I always want sticky buns. Theyâre like, my second favorite thing to eat.â
âOh? Whatâs the first?â Lena asks, voice just a bit lower than usual.Â
Kara opens her mouth and closes it, flushing slightly as she averts her gaze and adjusts the laptop bag on her shoulder. Stuff like that has been happening more and more, and sheâs not 100% sure what to do about it. Because on the one hand, it makes her stomach do flips and tie up in knots and makes her brain do this⊠staticky thing where nothing filters in or out, just a pleasant buzz of how funny and smart Lena is and how much Kara likes hanging out with her and being flirted with (because thatâs definitely whatâs been happening, even if neither of them is really ready to address it) and just generally looking at Lena.... who is currently biting her lip and grinning up at Kara, and that buzz makes her kinda dumb, which is just really unhelpful. But on the other hand, itâs also kinda awesome and Kara really enjoys it, and-
âKara?â
She spaced out again. Crap.
âUm. What time are you free for lunch?â
Lena sighs, seeming slightly disappointed that Kara isnât flirting back at the moment (and thank Rao Lena canât read minds), but she smiles back easily enough as they step off of the elevator. âI should be done by two.â
Feeling emboldened, Kara turns so sheâs walking backwards in front of Lena and grins. âItâs a date,â she says with a grin, ducking forward to press a quick âfriendlyâ kiss high on Lenaâs cheek. She whirls and jogs out the double doors, leaving Lena smiling exasperatedly after her.
**
It is genuinely baffling to Kara that people still commit crimes in National City. Itâs not even an ego thing, really, since Kara tries to keep herself humble (even when she manages to wrap up a hostage situation within twenty seconds of arriving on-scene without injuring any of the criminals or damaging the building too badly). Like, yeah, she gets that thereâs a certain element of crazies who just sorta gravitate to places with a local hero, the big-bads who have their own suits and geek-toys and abilities. Them, Kara gets. Kinda sorta. But the regular ones, who are armed with like, pistols? Or knives? Just regular man made stuff without even the benefit of magic or kryptonite or something?
Why?Â
Sheâs sure that if she asked, Lena would have some sort of statistical thing about large cities and poverty and all sorts of other factors that would end up making Kara feel like a jerk for being uncharitable to the criminal element of her city, but at the moment sheâs mostly too annoyed by the fact that she has to spend her weekdays chasing them around instead of chasing stories.
Once all the hostages are freed and the cops secure the scene, Kara departs, flying into the alley behind Noonanâs and changing into her regular clothes before she heads inside to do a bit of research before her meeting with Elena Watts in a few hours (just because sheâd used it as a cover doesnât mean it was a bad ideaâŠ). She finds her favorite little two-person booth tucked into a quiet corner, plugs in her laptop, and gets to work, asking the waitress to please keep both the coffee and the sticky buns coming.
She gets a surprising amount done by the time she needs to leave for the interview, having a good foundation for what she wants to write and who Elena Watts is.
Ms. Watts turns out to be a pretty nice lady around Elizaâs age, if a bit busy and distracted by the steady flow of people in and out of her office. She answers all Karaâs questions with aplomb, happy to elaborate on most every point and eager to draw attention to the rising issue of homelessness among children and teens in the US.
âWhen I was young, my dad lost his job at the auto plant. It was supposed to be a temporary layoff, but the factory never reopened. We ended up losing the house, and we lived so far from our extended family that staying with them wasnât much of an option. We lived in our SUV for six months, sleeping at shelters every now and again, if we could find one that allowed families to stay together. We showered at the local YMCA. Five people and a dog, living and sleeping in an old station wagon- even now, it sounds ridiculous. Eventually, we got back on our feet, but I never forgot that. It was just six months, but it was- and remains- the scariest, most uncertain time in my entire life, and it shaped me in a lot of ways I didnât expect. And there are kids and families who do that for years. I just want to help them the way I wish that someone had been able to help us.â
At the end of the interview, Kara thanks her profusely for her time and for sharing her story before hurrying off to CatCo to type up a draft for Snapper (âWhatâs wrong with you, Ponytail, why is everything you bring me sappy and sentimental?â), which she finishes an outline of just in time to send it off before running to Big Belly and L-Corp for lunch with Lena.
She greets the newest in a series of secretaries (Anna? Amy? Ava? Lenaâs really missing Jess, these days, but from what sheâs told Kara, Jess is kicking butt in her new role as VP of Operations and will probably take over for the COO when he retires in a few years), and the girl waves her in distractedly.
And thatâs when Karaâs day goes from normal to not, because inside the office are two masked men holding a stone-faced Lena at gunpoint on her balcony and demanding⊠something, probably. Karaâs a bit distracted by the loaded gun aimed at Lenaâs head.
âHey!â she yells, attracting both their attention. They whirl on her and Lenaâs eyes widen in alarm, and Kara suddenly realizes three things- 1) sheâs in her Kara Danvers clothes, not the supersuit, 2) she canât speed into the suit now that theyâre both looking at her, and 3) she has no plan.
Crap.
âWho the hell are you?!â one of them demands.
Kara⊠doesnât have a good or snappy answer for that, and instead does the only thing she can think of- she throws the large milkshakes sheâs carrying at them as hard as she can.
Which, in retrospect, is too hard, apparently because while yes, it is both funny and gratifying to see two grown men get absolutely leveled by a tasty dairy treat to the face, the one closest to Lena manages to elbow her in such a way that she falls backwards over the rail with an instinctual scream that makes Karaâs heart fly into her throat. She whips off her glasses, and by the time sheâs out the window and speeding toward Lenaâs flailing form, the suit is materialized. She gets under Lena, catching her carefully and dropping a bit further before slowing down (because sheâs been made aware that when she doesnât, the people sheâs saving may as well be hitting the pavement), finally coasting to a stop about 20 feet from the ground.
Lenaâs face is screwed up in a forced sort of focus, her hands clutching tightly at Karaâs shoulders and cape as she holds her breath.
âAre you okay?â Kara asks quietly.
Lena swallows thickly and nods, eyes still firmly closed. âIâm alright. Thank you- Iâll admit, I wasnât quite sure how to get out of that one.â
âWhat was that? What did they want?â
Lena cracks an eye open. âOh. you know, just my quarterly assassination attempt. I think my mother was starting to miss me, so she wanted to reach out.â
Kara snorts. âThat really shouldnât be funny.â
âMaybe not, but here we are.â Lena shifts a bit in Karaâs arms, cheeks a bit flushed from the adrenaline rush, and clears her throat. âNot to be rude, Supergirl, but do you think that perhaps we could continue this conversation⊠on the ground?â
âOh. Oh! Yeah, sorry. I forgot we were, uh, flying.â
Lena chuckles as they ascend slowly back up to her office. âYou forgot you were flying?â
Kara shrugs with an easy smile. âI guess you have that effect on me.â
Lena huffs a laugh against Karaâs neck, eyes squeezed shut again. They alight on the balcony, finding the two men still unconscious, covered in Kara and Lenaâs lunch. Lena sighs as Kara sets her down, pinching the bridge of her nose. âWhat a mess.â
âYeah, sorry, I sorta⊠panicked.â Â
âI was so looking forward to a milkshake tooâŠâ Lena laments playfully.
âWell, then I have good news and bad news,â Kara says. She reaches out and gently wipes a bit of her own chocolate shake from Lenaâs cheek with the pad of her thumb, tucking it into her mouth on instinct to get a taste of it. âThe good news is, you do, in fact, have some shake on you!â
âWhats the bad news?âÂ
âAlso that you have some shake on you.â Kara laughs, gathering the two men in her arms and hefting them a bit so theyâre easier to carry. âIâll get you another one. Be right back.â
She drops the men at the police station with a brief explanation before flying back into the office. Lena hands over her discarded glasses with a wry grin.
âI figured youâd need these before the police arrive.â Sheâs putting on a brave front, but sheâs clearly still more than a bit rattled, if her too-bright eyes and thundering heartbeat are anything to go by. Kara steps closer and opens her arms in invitation, and Lena doesnât hesitate to step into them. âThank you,â Lena says fervently, tucking her face into Karaâs shoulder and wrapping her arms tight around Karaâs waist.Â
âAlways,â Kara promises, daring to press a reassuring kiss to Lenaâs temple (and getting a bit of Lenaâs strawberry shake for her troubles) before wrapping her up even tighter in her arms. âAre you actually okay?â
âI mean, my fear of heights has been reaffirmed,â Lena jokes, âbut aside from that, Iâm not hurt.â
âGood. I donât like, love people pointing guns at you. Just so you know.â
âIâm not a fan either, for the record,â Lena drawls, burrowing even closer. âEven though I know youâll save me, it still puts a damper on my day.â
Kara huffs a laugh. âSame.â
They stay like that for a few minutes, until Lenaâs calmed down enough to stop shaking and calls her assistant (Audra, apparently) in, telling her whatâd happened and that the police would be arriving shortly to take her and Karaâs statements, and please advise the security team to let them up discreetly. After the cops arrive, itâs a blur of questions, and Kara has to concentrate on telling the story of how sheâd panicked and thrown the milkshakes at the men, and one of them had knocked Lena over the balcony (all true), and Kara had yelled for Supergirl, who had knocked the men out on her way to Lena (also technically mostly true. Technically. Mostly.). The police are sure to tell Kara that next time, she shouldnât throw things at people with guns, and also to tell them both how lucky they are that Supergirl had shown up when she did.
âSheâs always there when I need her,â Lena agrees, throwing a sly wink over the officerâs shoulder at Kara.
Kara just shakes her head and smiles. Even almost dying isnât enough to make Lena not flirt with her. The woman is truly a marvel.
Karaâs comms crackle again, accompanied by Alexâs custom ringtone on her cell, and after assuring the police that she has no issue with giving another statement if they need her to later, hurries over to the DEO (making a quick stop in the back alley to change into her suit).
**
When Kara arrives, sheâs told that Jâonn and Alex are waiting for her in the Directorsâ offices. She makes her way there, waving to the agents and scientists she knows. But itâs very weird, because every time one of them sees her, they start giggling before quickly hurrying off in the opposite direction. Like, literally everyone is whispering and pointing and giggling, and itâs giving Kara such visceral flashbacks to high school that itâs all she can do to not check her cape for a taped on sign that says âKick meâ or âFreakâ.
(Kids are mean.)
By the time Kara gets to her destination, sheâs fully paranoid, sure that someoneâs playing a prank on her, somehow, and that everyone but her is in on the joke. She opens the door with more force than intended and catches it just before the handle puts a hole in the wall, throwing Alex and Jâonn a sheepish smile. She closes the door extra gently and leans against it heavily. Jâonn and Alex just stare at her, looking thoroughly unimpressed.
âBusy day, Supergirl?â Alex asks, and after half a lifetime of spending time with her, Kara recognizes that she, too, is trying not to laugh.Â
Karaâs had enough. âOkay, do I have something on my face? Or on the suit? Is someone messing with me?â
Jâonnâs brow furrows. âNo.â
âThen whatâs the deal? Why is the entire DEO like⊠laughing at me? Did someone accidentally vent the lab fumes out into the main hub again?â
âNo.â
âDid someone see me crash into that billboard last week?â
Jâonnâs frown deepens. âWhat?â
âNo,â Alex answers.
âThen why is everyone laughing at me?!â
âI mean, if I had to guess, Iâd say itâs because of that,â Alex muses, nodding toward the big TV on the wall beside Kara.
She steps back to watch the news coverage of her dealing with the hostage situation this morning and frowns. âWhat, those guys? That was routine, whatâs so funny about tha-â
âNo, no, not that. That,â Alex clarifies, cranking up the volume.
â...reports are saying that the CEO of L-Corp, Lena Luthor, experienced an attempt on her life early this afternoon. Sources claim that she fell from a considerable height-â
âHey, she was pushed,â Kara corrects.
âShh!â
â...caught by Supergirl, who may have gotten a little⊠familiar with her.â
And thereâs a video (clearly recorded on a cell phone but not the worst quality Karaâs ever seen) of Kara catching Lena and slowing to a stop above the sidewalk, of them talking quietly, of Karaâs hand definitely on Lenaâs-
âOh. Oh no.â
âOh yes,â Alex drawls, clicking the TV off with relish, a large, evil-big-sister grin spreading across her face. âCongratulations, Supergirl- the world just watched you grope Lena Luthorâs ass.â
âBut Iâm not- I wasnât groping, I was catching! My hands werenât⊠If it was groping, Iâd be all up on her, and I wasnât!â
âCamera begs to differ. Itâs already trending on Twitter in National CIty.â
Kara puts her head in her hands and groans. âWhy?! I was trying to save her!â
âYou were definitely trying to save part of her,â Alex agrees. âGranted, itâs a very nice part...â
Karaâs head pops up, and she shoots Alex a look thatâs between a pout and a glare. âYouâre not helping.â
Alex feigns confusion. âAm I supposed to be helping?â
âAlright, enough,â Jâonn cuts in before Kara can retort. âWe just wanted you to be aware. I donât think that this is going to be taken for anything more than it is- a humorous moment in the middle of a successful rescue. You shouldnât worry about the press.â
And truth be told, Kara isn't worried about the press- sheâs worried about the fact that sheâs going to have to face Lena after this. Lena, who she knows for a fact has google alerts set for herself, Kara Danvers, and Supergirl, a gesture which is normally actually sweet and kind but is right now definitely gonna bite her in the-
âOkay! So, is that all?â
Alex blinks, looks over at Jâonn, and shrugs. âI mean, yeah. Try not to make a habit of groping your crush when youâre in the suit.â
âI wasnât groping her-â
Alex grins. âSo you admit you have a crush? InterestingâŠâ
âAlex!â
**
Jâonnâs prediction is mostly right- no one seems to be taking the shots of her grabbi- saving Lena as anything other than a funny blip of a moment in their coverage of it.
He was wrong about the sheer scale. The clip had gone totally viral in a matter of hours, and seemingly every major network in the country has run the clip at least once as a bit of filler-fluff, and almost every major network anchor (including the ones at CatCo, the traitors) has made at least a passing joke about Supergirl being âSuper-Handsy'.
Which means that Kara is very late getting back to Lenaâs office with replacement food. But like, sheâs been busy, okay? Itâs not like sheâs avoiding Lena, or something, because sheâs embarrassed- which she isnât, because she didnât do anything bad or wrong and-
Anyways, itâs well past sunset by the time Kara gets to Lenaâs office door again. She hesitates outside it for just a moment before shouldering the door open and knocking tentatively.
Lenaâs attention jerks from whatever sheâd been absorbed in to Kara, and a relieved smile blooms across her face. âHey there.â
Kara finds herself equally relieved to not experience a repeat performance of earlier scary situations. âHi,â Kara says, unable to resist smiling back. She raises the bags and cup carrier. âI bring grease and milkshakes. Again.â
âOh thank god, Iâm starving,â Lena says, rolling her chair away from her desk and rising into a deep and probably much-needed stretch. Kara very determinedly does not stare at the slight sliver of soft tummy that appears between her blouse and skirt at the motion. âIâve been staring at this screen for several hours. And Sam called to yell at me- she says hello, by the way- she and Ruby are in town next weekend.â
âGood!â Kara crosses the room to the couch as Lena does, easily spreading out the veritable buffet of fast food sheâd brought over the coffee table. âI mean, not good that she yelled at you, or that youâre still at work, Miss Luthor,â she says pointedly, receiving only an unapologetic shrug in response. âBut good that, um-â
âI get it,â Lena chuckles, resting a hand lightly on Karaâs knee and boy, if that doesnât make Karaâs brain go fuzzy and dumb again⊠âThank you, for checking in.â
âOf course I was gonna check on you, Lena,â Kara huffs. âPlus, I know you probably didnât get lunch, soâŠâ
Lena hums around a mouthful of burger, chewing until she can politely speak again. âWell itâs delicious. Did you make it yourself?â she teases with a sly grin.
âOh, yeah, totally. Slaved away over a hot stove for this- I just wrapped it in Big Belly wrappers so you wouldnât feel bad about it.â
âVery clever.â Lena pops the lid off of her milkshake and drags a fry through it (an advanced culinary delicacy Kara had horrified her with initially but had eventually become a bit of a guilty pleasure). âAlthough I have to say, traditionally youâd have to buy me dinner before you grabbed my ass.â
Kara chokes on a pickle. âOh no,â she groans, dropping the burger onto the wrapper on the table and dropping her very red face into her hands as Lena laughs beside her. She peers out from between her fingers. âI am so sorry, I was just worried about you hitting the pavement and like, catching you in the least jarring way and I wasnât paying attention to where my hands were and I didnât even notice until I got back to the DEO and-â
âWell I have so say, I feel a bit offended that you didnât even realize you were copping a feel...â When the only response is another groan and a deep flush spreading from Karaâs neck to the tips of her ears, Lena relents. âKara, Kara, itâs fine!â she laughs, pulling Karaâs hands away from her face and giving them a grounding squeeze. âNiaâs been sending me memes about it all day, which has improved my mood significantly. On the grand scale of fallout from assassination attempts, this one was at least funny.â
âI know thatâs supposed to be comforting, but all it makes me wanna do is wrap you in bubble wrap forever,â Kara informs her.
âPass on that. But seriously, donât worry about it- I know it wasnât on purpose- unfortunately for me, youâre too noble to do something like that,â Lena laments playfully.
And whether itâs the knowledge that Lena is not, in fact, upset, the overall weirdness that has been this day, or this delicious burger fueling it, Kara feels a bit emboldened. âHey LenaâŠâ
âYes?â
âWhat if I wanted to grab your butt? Just, yâknow, as a hypothetical. For future reference.â
Lena quirks a brow at her, fighting a smile as she contemplates this. âHmm. Strictly hypothetically?â
Kara scoots a bit closer on the couch. âSure.â
 âWell, youâve already bought me dinnerâŠâ
âAnd lunch, technically. Even if I gave it to the bad guys.â
âTrue. Plus you saved my life, so that gets you some points, probably.â
Kara pauses in her sly scooching. âOh, hey, wait, no, thatâs not-âÂ
âKidding, Kara. I know youâd never use that to your advantage. I, however, have determined that strong moral fibre and nobility do, in fact, earn you more points, which is my choice on the matter and you get absolutely no say in it.â
âOh. Um, alright, I think.â
Lena stares off into the middle distance, tapping her forefinger thoughtfully against her chin. Finally she shrugs. âYes, I think youâre fulfilled the prerequisites for a bit of grab-ass today.â
Kara snorts, Lena laughs, and soon enough Kara takes her up on the offer.
**
âHey Kara, remember that time you grabbed Lenaâs ass and it made international news?â Nia asks around a mouthful of mushu pork.
âYou mean last week? Yes, I remember,â Kara drawls. Beside her/halfway sitting on her lap, Lena snorts.
âThat was the best.â
Alex glares. âUm, excuse you, no. No it was not. I had to sift through so much thirsting over my sister on like, every social media platform. It was the worst day of my life.â
Brainyâs brow furrows. âSurely that cannot be correct, Alex. Statistically speaking-â
Alex holds up a hand, cutting him off. âTrauma canât be measured, Brainy.â
Kelly chuckles and presses a consoling kiss to Alexâs cheek, and it makes the tough agent melt into a doe-eyed puddle of mush that Kara snorts. And she says theyâre gross... Kara sneaks a glance at Lena from the corner of her eye, and she catches Lena looking at her. She leans close and jostles her gently as she drops her head onto Lenaâ shoulder. âWeâre never gonna live that down, are we?â
âProbably not.â
âWe have the worst friends.â When this elicits nothing but a chuckle, Kara tips her head back to see Lena still looking at her, a soft smile playing at her mouth and shining in her eyes. And like, this whole thing theyâre doing is new, with the kissing and the actual dates and the... everything else. But the thing where Kara catches Lena looking at her and she doesnât look away? That freakinâ knocks her out, every single time. âHey,â she manages.
Lena grins down at her. âHi.â
So yeah. Maybe the initial circumstances werenât ideal, and she doesnât love the mockery thatâs been heaped upon her by all of her friends and loved ones (including Winn, whoâd sent a missive from the future that literally just said âLOLâ). But the fact is, Kara muses as she surges up just enough to kiss the corner of Lenaâs mouth, that she doesnât regret a thing.

My Masterlist
ââââââââââ
It was a little over three weeks later before anything else had happened. But youâd tried very hard to remain reasonable with your daydreaming in the time between. Because Loki owed you nothing after all.
It would have been far easier to write off your experience with him as just brief acts of lust that any two beings could experience. Yet, youâd found yourself thinking just as much about those quiet hours sitting beside him with a book in your hand as you did that very physical night in the cave together. The parts were equal in your mind. You desired to have both again, because all of it was him.
The real surprise was still there though when word finally reached you that heâd again returned to the oceanâs edge. You could not take a moment for granted. And you wouldnât, even as each time he came you found your excitement only grew. That warmth that rose through you at just the sound of his name only came quicker and lasted longer every time.
Yet today had also been the first where he hadnât called from that southern beach where youâd met all the times previous. This fourth meeting actually came in the north. From the lands you would have more associated with the legends of his family to begin with.
Even though the bifrost could open wherever he asked it to you supposed, your curiosity still swelled predictably as you stepped out of the icy waters onto these more foreign black sands. It was rocky, and the sky only grey above as you first saw him standing there near the waterâs edge.
And you did stare, seeing his normal black and green leather now replaced with golden armor and a flowing emerald cape. He was in full adornment this time, including that horned helmet youâd only seen in artistsâ renderings from the books youâd studied before.
It suited him well, though making a stark contrast between the two of you you were sure as you only stood before him barefoot and dripping wet in one of your usual dresses.
âAre you off to battle?â You asked in genuine question, still taking that view in.
He just smirked though, seeming to be staring at you as well. âDonât you ever get cold running around so uncovered like that?â
âI feel the cold, yes. But it doesnât harm me.â You answered simply, though still looking at him expectantly as heâd ignored your own question.
He just turned after another moment though, beginning to walk back up the bank. âIâm only here on an errand for Father. Normally this foolishness would be something Iâd decline. But with Odin and brother both off battling in Alfheim, it left Father no choice but to send his second option of course.â
You were already walking as well then, following him without even being asked. He made it all sound so uninteresting though. And if he didnât even want to be here, then why would he have called you as well then?
A path cut between the cliff face that edged the shoreline, and before you could ask anything further, you were surprised to see a large mortal village coming into view further up the path. You stopped immediately, hesitating at the sight.
But he noticed as you did so, only looking back at you tauntingly as he paused as well. âDonât tell me youâre shy now?â
What was he planning to do? You tried to keep your contact with mortals limited save for whatever your own father asked you to do, as directly interfering in the wrong ways could sometimes lead to serious consequences. You honestly shirked the attention, often not even letting them lay eyes on you unless you were under the guise of something else.
âAre you planning to make yourself known to them?â You asked a bit incredulously.
âWell of course. How else should they know who to thank when weâre done here?â He answered as if it was only the most obvious thing in the world before he just continued ahead without you.
His stride was so confident. Not a trace of feeling out of place at all even as you couldnât bear it any longer, transforming yourself into an osprey just to fly nervously along up above him before you could be seen.
Yet he didnât seem surprised, only a slight smugness in his expression as he glanced up at you briefly in your new form.
That was before the mortal soldiers erupted out at the edge of the settlement anyway. Their yelling brought Lokiâs attention back to the path, and you circled in the sky, trying to interpret the words.
Their tone was so much gruffer and faster, harder for you to translate in realtime.
But Lokiâs elegant, almost indifferent tone of response you understood far better as he only answered back in that same Nordic tongue.
âUnleash those arrows upon me, beasts, and youâll find them quite wasted. Are you really so inept as to not recognize your own savior now standing before you?â
With that, he extended out his arms in a grandiose gesture of self importance. Yet the movement proved to be more than just empty posing as you then saw all their arrows fall to the ground as writhing snakes.
The illusion was extremely convincing, even these burly men startling in surprise at the sight.
âSorcery!â One of them called, though rightly looking no more trusting at the revelation.
âWhat clan do ye hail from? State your purpose here, sorcerer!â Another said.
Even from this distance, you could see the brief look of exasperation as Loki rolled his eyes. âHas my brother really been away from Midgard so long that you now fail to recognize the house of Odin at all? Such disrespect.â
It was only the mention of Odinâs name that brought an all new nervousness to the menâs body language.
And that edge of newfound fear clearly pleased Loki. âOh, now things are finally coming together! But seeing is believing, isnât it boys?â
In an instant then, there was not just one of him, but multiple as replicant images of Loki suddenly surrounded the men. His voice echoing as it came from each, âOdin the Allfather has answered your prayers, I, Loki, god of Asgard shall spare your clan and this village from your enemyâs approach.â His cold smirk returned. âBut I require your full allegiance in return of course.â
The fear was really evident in their faces then, but in your own mind you doubted the duplicate images were anything tangible. They likely couldnât harm the men, only the real Loki could. But the trickery was sufficient as in your surprise, you saw the men fall to their knees one after the other.
And the most genuine grin youâd ever seen on Lokiâs face spread instantly at that. He actually chuckled, an honest, happy sound as the menâs heads also bowed.
âForgive us, Loki, god of mischief.â The oldest looking of the men spoke humbly then. âNo one here has laid eyes on a god of Asgard in our lifetimes. We only know the legends our ancestors have taught us, of your victories at Odinâs side across the nine realms. Our loyalty does still lay with you, son of Odin.â
âFinally, a wise man speaks.â Loki answered, still pleased before continuing. âYou must be the clan chief. Listen to your elders, boys. And remember it was only Loki who came here today. Not Odin, not Thor. Me. That should be noted in your carvings from now on. Those little hammers embellished on your shields gave you no help today. Mjolnir hears not your pleas.â
And still circling above in your bird of prey form, it was only then that you did notice those emblems on their shields as well. It was clear no details escaped Loki.
âThor forgets you, too occupied in the happenings of the other realms, but I, merciful as I am do not.â
You may have sighed at that, if youâd been physically capable anyway. He was clearly enjoying this now. But out the corner of your vision, something else caught your eyes as you turned sharply back into the wind.
Sails. Large white sails approaching over the oceanâs horizon. You suddenly remembered Lokiâs comment then about sparing this place from their enemyâs approach. But now your nervousness only returned full force as you swooped back down towards him.
Did he really plan to interfere in a coming battle here? Maybe he had permission to do so, but you absolutely did not!
You chirped sharply, but realized quickly he could not understand you in this form. Not like the nymphs could. He seemed amused though at your evident agitation as he offered his forearm. You landed awkwardly on his arm, talons closing around the armor there as you spread your wings to maintain your balance.
He leaned his face in slightly though, speaking only to you in your native Greek. âWas it that many boats then? Theyâre only marauders. Iâm sure your father wonât mind if you kill a few. All youâd need say is that these Norse folk had shown you hospitality, and then these other fools attacked. What else were you to do? And regardless, Iâve already promised our protection to them.â
Our? Your eyes stared holes into him at that. You had promised nothing. This was beyond ridiculous. Yet even in your annoyance, you knew deep down that there were still rules of etiquette that had been bred into you. Ones that couldnât be ignored when it came to dealings with other gods. If he told them he would do something, while expecting your help to make it happen, and then you let him fail...it could only make them lose further faith in all your kind.
Which even Zeus himself would have admitted that lack of respect as a worsening problem with every successive mortal generation. They believed less and less.
âIf you let their boats reach the shore, theyâll happily kill every last man and child on this soil. Only the younger women would live, albeit would they really wish to once theyâre sold off like livestock?â Loki added, almost chipper even in those dark words.
You gave the side of his helmet a good, harsh peck, making him turn his face away in reflex before you finally took flight again.
God of mischief indeed. What were you really getting yourself into if you only kept showing him that you were here for whatever use he saw fit?
Though you had somewhat told him that hadnât you? Back on the beach that day. That whatever kind of relationship he desired with you, you would address the needs as you came to them. Youâd more meant in the sense of possibly becoming closer than friends of course. More like that night in the cave. But this...what in Gaiaâs name was this?
You pumped your wings hard, then flying back over the sea as you neared the boats and quickly counted them. How many would you have to destroy in order to break their morale?
The quicker you could get this done though, the better. Any kind of prolonged battle may only attract more onlookers, increasing the chances of you having to explain these uncomfortable motivations with your father soon.
Tucking your wings in, you dove suddenly, the only difference between you and a real osprey being that as soon you hit the water, you didnât surface again. You regained the form of a woman once more, sinking beneath the boats even as you raised your arms towards them.
It took real concentration, especially when your emotions were still all over the place. But the previously calm seas did eventually start to churn. As you clenched your fists, the whirlpools began to tighten around first one, then two, then three of the longships
That should be well enough you thought to yourself. Even from below you could hear the wood snapping as the hulls began to give. Once the boats listed past the point of no return, the masts began to snap as well, the large canvas that was the sails crashing down to the water below and billowing out.
The sunlight cut through the fabric, making the strangest shadows as you swam back from under it. You noted that these men were fairly capable swimmers as well as the fallen began to make their own ways back to the surface.
You left their survival to chance, not trying to pull them any further down, but not helping them either as they swam for rescue towards the remaining boats.
The nymphs that had followed you to this shore also kept things hands off, merely watching in a mix of awe and confusion from beneath the water. But you didnât have time to explain, only nodding your acknowledgement towards them. They would have to wait.
But you werenât sure what you were really going to tell them either as you only changed back into the osprey then, breaking the surface before you flapped hard enough to leave the water entirely. You simply glided back towards shore once you caught the wind again.
Loki now stood expectantly on the beach, far more men than you had seen earlier gathered behind him. Dumbstruck expressions graced all the mortals faces as that prince of Asgard only offered you his arm once more.
You landed on his forearm again, making sure to fluff your wet feathers hard enough to throw some seawater on him. Just because youâd done what heâd wanted didnât mean your frustration was at all over. Conversations would definitely be had.
But he only smiled even as that bit of cold water ran back down his neck and beneath his armor, further annoying you before he whispered then. âQuite a performance. But donât act as if I wonât be rewarding you later. The day is still young.â
Yet you could only ponder the meaning behind such words, as you were then the one who had to endure several more hours of the villageâs praises for Loki instead.
When the marauders had indeed retreated, fading back from sight, all the mortals had come out to rejoice. The ones who had witnessed it all firsthand, recounted the events with excitement again and again to all those others who came to listen.
Youâd ended up in their mead hall, candles burning in the dim structure as it filled with the smell of cooked meat and the raucous noise of the townspeople. Men, women, and even the children all filled the hall in celebration.
Loki of course sat at the head of the long feast table as the guest of honor, quite comfortable you thought in their most ornate chair as you only perched on one of its armrest beside him. In the candlelight, the shadows danced around the edges of his face and helmet.
Even in this bird form, you thought he caught you staring at him a few times though. But what else did you have to do? You couldnât speak, and you still didnât want to reveal your true self to these strangers. You kept hoping heâd have his fill of the attention at some point, where youâd finally be able to leave again.
But that was wishful thinking surely. Though you did put your attention back to the mortals as the clan chief had made his way to the both of you.
He bowed respectfully, âPrince Loki, I wished to inform you that I have spoken to our carpenters and they believe the building you requested could be finished within two months time.â
Your confusion may have even translated through your body language then as your head tilted and your feathers ruffled. The what?
But Loki didnât add any elaboration to the subject, only seeming pleased. âGood.â He said simply.
And before you could show any further displeasure at being left in the dark, you saw that mortal leader then looking at you specifically with curiosity.
âIf it is not too much a question, prince...â He started, yet treading carefully. âI have heard the stories of the Allfather and his ravens Huginn and Muninn. But I did not know you too possessed a bird, and of such ability. What is its name? Itâs quite beautiful.â
His words were unexpected, but the greater surprise was the feel of Lokiâs fingers then down your neck and back, physically petting you as if you really were just some adored companion.
You startled, chirping as you turned your head to nip his hand in reflex.
Loki only grinned once more though, moving his fingers out of your reach just as quickly. âOh, sheâs quite proud. Which she should be. Fatherâs birds are only spies. This bird you see here is...â Loki gave you a sly look, as if teasing that he would reveal you in that very moment. But he didnât, just glancing back to the man instead. âI call her KĂŠrr.â
Who? You stared. So he was just making up names for you now? And you didnât even recognize the word as you racked your brain to try and remember a meaning for it in the Norse words youâd read.
But you couldnât. It could mean fool for all you knew. Little fool who just followed Loki, letting themselves be used in all the dumbest ways.
ââââââââââ
At last, the festivities had finally begun to wane and Loki had stood. The mortals all praising him once more as heâd made some speech about needing to return to Asgard, but now being a protector of this town as long as they kept their loyalty to him.
You were truthfully tired by now. Not so much physically, but mentally from the run of emotions youâd had to deal with in silence over the last several hours.
It was fully nighttime when heâd finally walked out of view from the village, now deep in some dark forest, probably heading towards wherever he planned to reopen the bifrost.
When you were confident that no mortals had followed though, you at last landed on the forest floor in front of him, changing back into your true form of a woman.
âStart talking. Now.â You breathed. The anger youâd wanted to express earlier though just sounded like exasperation. But you had so many questions.
He paused, the bits of moonlight that broke through the tree canopy, now glinting white off his armor as he grinned.
âYou do have patience, goddess. But I didnât ask you to trap yourself in the form of a bird all day, letâs remember that firstly.â And he only walked closer to you at that, seemingly all too confident that you wouldnât attack him just in spite now. âSecondly, I did this for the both of us.â
âFor us?â You asked incredulously.
âWell you were too shy to take proper credit of course, which again, not my fault. But I told them this town was under our protection-â
âAnd youâll just go back to Asgard and leave me to deal with it! If a god goes back on their word, you know how that makes us all look. I didnât ask to adopt a village today!â
Yet he was unbothered even as your voice rose. âYouâll do wonderfully. Donât pretend you donât have a weakness for these creatures. Iâve seen how you pity them. Consider them your new pets, my gift to you.â
But you scoffed, still so disbelieving. âYouâre mad. And really, did Odin even send you here? Or was that more fantasy as well?â
Yet the more flustered you got, the more amused he started to look. âWell, the village leaderâs great, great, great something or other ancestor actually was a friend of my Fatherâs. They fought side by side once. But no, Father doesnât know Iâm here. Heâs in Alfheim, as I said.â
But Loki knew itâd give you more inclination to go along with things surely if Odinâs name was attached. Didnât he? âAnd the marauders?â You asked as your questions only continued.
He just smirked. âThat probably would have happened on its own eventually. Thereâs a lot of bad blood there apparently. But Iâm not as patient as you. That did need a little goading.â
You sighed. âWhich you provided Iâm sure. Did you pass word to them that this village was preparing to attack them?â
âOh, something like that.â
âOkay, but why? They say you like chaos, but I havenât seen you do anything yet that wasnât for a reason.â
âI already told you. This is for us.â He only reiterated.
âAnd I still donât believe it. What building was that man talking about making? A shrine to you? A temple?â
âA house.â He corrected.
âA...what?â You stared.
âWell, not what Iâd consider a real one. It had to be quite small unfortunately, or else itâd take them a year or more to build. But nearby, up on this hill actually is where it will be. I told them weâd need a place to stay when in the mortal realm. And if they kept it well maintained, our protection would continue.â
You were finally silent for a few moments then, thoughts spinning furiously. Madness was right. Did he really...did he really plan all this for just this reason? âSo, is that why you did all this?â You asked at last.
âIâd prefer not to just meet in wet, muddy caves for the foreseeable future if itâs all the same to you.â He answered with a little air of haughtiness returning.
But you werenât ready to trust yet. Not where it really counted. âAnd should I be flattered? Or is there a âhouseâ like this in every realm for you?â
For those words though, even in the moonlight you could see a greedier look come into his eyes as he tilted his head, examining you once more. âHmm. Thatâs new. But as fetching as jealousy is on you...youâre wrong. My only other bed would be in Asgard. And I donât waste my time trying to fill it.â
Jealous? Is that what he thought? You opened your mouth as if to retort, but realized anything you could think to say in defense would only make him sound more correct.
âThis is ridiculous.â Was all you finally said. Not knowing how to really express anything further.
âAnd what else would you really have done so important today if I hadnât come?â He smirked, reaching a hand out.
He held your chin lightly then, making you realize how close heâd really moved to you in the time youâd been talking.
âYou already forgot what I promised didnât you?â He asked more quietly then.
Your look in return said that you clearly had before he just continued.
âYour reward.â He spoke, before leaning in to kiss you.
You tensed, but didnât pull away. Such arrogance you still managed to think though, him acting as if his touch alone would erase every negative feeling and upset of the day.
But life was now more complicated than youâd ever known before. Even if this didnât make everything alright and forgiven...you didnât want him to stop either as you eventually returned the kiss, leaning further into him. After his hand let go of your face, you felt his arms slide around your waist next, pulling you to him tightly.
It wasnât as fully desperate, as hungry as that night in the cave. But there was still a clear need there, tasting him all over again as he kissed you again and again.
âI have to return to Asgard.â He breathed eventually though, yet looking at you with body language that didnât at all match his words as he hadnât loosened his grip at all. âBut speak up, goddess. Would it be more insult just to leave, or to only be quick this time in taking something we both want?â
âAre you, are you asking me...â You were trying to catch up with his thought process. It was late in the night, and heâd already been gone from his kingdom all day. He may be lying still, but it was very possible he had already overstayed whatever time heâd intended to be here. Especially if Odin and Thor really were in another realm right now. Lokiâs absence would only be that more evident to his people. So he was about to leave, but he wanted to know if you wanted him to...jump to the finish before he left you?
âWhy is it so hard for you to say?â He pushed, moving his hips against you slightly to further his intention.
âI will not be your whore, Loki. That much must be understood.â You replied. Not angrily, but still serious enough to show your sincerity in that statement as you found your voice again.
Yet he just laughed, a genuine one at that. âJust when I think you canât surprise me any further...you go and say something so foolish.â
But heâd already grabbed your wrist before you could slap him, then continuing. âCalm your temper. I only laugh because you keep assuming so much. If thereâs a whore here tonight, it would only be me of course.â
The resulting confusion in your eyes only seemed to encourage him too as he smiled again. âI know itâs not just fucking you want. And there will be more time later to explore that. But gods, woman, I left an empty throne sitting there in Asgard today just for a chance at this. How else could that not make me a whore tonight?â
You really didnât know at this point, if all his words were only meant to manipulate you further, or if he was actually being truthful right now.
âYou make my head hurt.â You grumbled at last, just running your hand down the armor on his chest until it reached his waist.
âYou make my...well, I think you can assume what part of me hurts right now.â He just smirked at your resulting expression, his hands starting to bunch up your dress a little. âWhat? Too crude? I could change into a woman just as easily you know, if you rather something a little different.â
âI thought you said you wanted to make this quick.â You retorted. As in your mind, working up a woman to full arousal would be far more time consuming if your own body was any indication. While men were up and ready at a momentâs notice werenât they?
âYou imply that I canât have you trembling just as fast then?â He said, seeming to accept the challenge when you didnât stop him from further raising your dress.
* SMUT STARTS HERE
*
*
Youâd only expected to feel one of his hands back between your legs next. So when he abruptly dropped to his knees in front of you instead, you were truly shocked.
You felt his hands on your bare waist, keeping your dress bunched up and out of the way as he glanced back up at you briefly, a wicked look in those blue eyes. How someone could look so predatory, even while on their own knees, you did not know.
All you could do was gasp as you felt his mouth meet your opening roughly, sucking you before his tongue quickly flicked out, so much like a snake against the sensitive flesh.
It was so surreal really, the cool metal of the horned helmet also brushing and scraping against your skin as its master moved obscenely in his attempts to unravel you.
Reflexively, your hips also tried to squirm away from his pressing mouth, so sensitive to the roughness as he went back to sucking what was already becoming swollen. But heâd allow none of it. He only gripped you harder, fingers digging into your soft bottom to keep you against him.
He was going to win. How this had even become a contest, you were not sure. But pride or not, your legs were already feeling like jelly. He would win.
âLoki,â You pleaded, nothing to really brace yourself against as your own knees started to bend.
But he didnât stop, no. He only pressed even faster at your desperation, tongue flicking and probing over and over, mouth sucking for what felt like ages. But you knew it really couldnât have been that long at all. Embarrassingly short even before you shuddered harshly, the orgasm cutting through you.
Even in those little aftershocks though, you could feel his teeth as he smiled against you. But he didnât let go of you, helping you stay upright even as he stood back up himself. âWas that fast enough for you?â He taunted lowly, lips still clearly wet in the moonlight from you before he moved you almost gently backward.
Your back found a large tree trunk behind you, the bark gladly smooth as it helped further support you while he pushed your dress back upward again.
Your eyes met again as you felt him abruptly slide into you at that. He was still fully dressed, but at some point as heâd stood, heâd opened just his pants, that hard flesh now fully sheathing back inside of you before he began to thrust.
It was steady this time, slower, but still forceful as he watched your expression every time he reached that deepest point.
âDo you think you could get used to this?â He asked, breath still a bit labored, likely just from his own arousal.
You knew your own heartbeat was still pounding in your ears, so you could only imagine that his was now doing much the same as you kissed him again.
The taste was strange, still the remnants from you of course, but you didnât mind it.
âI could.â You did answer though when you pulled back slightly again.
But you didnât know how this would really work. Would you just keep meeting here now whenever he wanted to see you? The mortals would make some sort of cabin? Room? What have you, for you to stay in? Is this really what he wanted? Wouldnât he only grow bored of the novelty eventually?
Either that, or one of your families may end up intervening. This couldnât be kept just to the two of you indefinitely. Heimdall already knew of you of course.
There were still so many questions.
Yet he only seemed focused on the here and now as he finally shuddered against you as well and you felt that tell tale wetness of his cum overflowing slightly down your thigh.
His hands ran up under your dress still, not seeming to want to let go even as he continued to watch you as his own orgasm dissipated.
â...It may be a while before I can return. The mess in Alfheim I donât see as being resolved soon.â He spoke after a few more moments, breaking the silence.
And he did slide back out of you then, covering himself back within his pants once more after his hands finally let go of you to let your dress also fall back down around your legs.
*
*
*SMUT OVER
He continued though, not leaving your side just yet. âFatherâs already been gone over a week now, brother too. Technically putting the kingdom in my care for now. I used the excuse of those marauders attacking this village with old connections to Father as a reason to come check on Midgard today. I donât quite think Mother believed my motives either. The two of you would likely get along well in your odd combination of suspicion yet fondness for me you know.â
Fondness he said. That was some kind of word for it. But you werenât sure it was the right one. âIf youâve never had much interest in my world before, then yes, Iâm sure anyone would be doubtful.â Of course heâd never spoken of his mother to you. Maybe eventually you could learn more. But not tonight as you realized time was finally up.
As he pulled away, his hand only brushed yours gently, that green cape moving behind him as he walked away. âGoodnight, goddess.â
There was a clearing in the distance, evidently carved earlier from the bifrost as he stepped into the opening and called up to Heimdall.
It was only at that moment though that you remembered one more thing. You yelled out to him suddenly, so he would still hear you at this distance. âWait, what does KĂŠrr mean!?â
But even from this far you could still see his smug smile spreading before the light of the bifrost overtook him and he was gone.
âDammit.â You said to no one. This would cause you a whole new trip to the library on Olympus you were sure. All for one simple word.
ââââââââââ
It wasnât until days later that you did make it back to Olympus though. Youâd had to apologize to a couple of the nymphs, asking them to keep an eye on that town for you. Your apparent new charity project that Loki had left you with.
Now in the library youâd been pouring over the few more detailed Norse language texts you could find. Itâd been much easier the last time youâd been here, when youâd just been trying to learn the gist of Asgardâs history and the very basics of their language. Trying to find the definition of one specific word however proved far more tedious.
But you did finally come across it.
KĂŠrr: Dear, of great value or excellence, precious, beloved-
And you couldnât read any further, a strange emotion flaring as youâd exclaimed, âOh, bullshit!â instantly closing the book back shut, then sitting there a moment as this new information settled over you.
He had to be kidding. Just a flippant joke to him surely. And yet, why did it bother you so much? You really had expected the name to have some sort of negative definition, some kind of taunt or insult that heâd be able to laugh about later whenever itâd finally dawned on you.
But this was far worse. It was cruel if he didnât mean it. Yet...somehow maybe even crueler if he did. Because what were you supposed to do with this knowledge? What could you do?
âHello, stranger.â A soft voice called as you heard footsteps approaching though.
You looked up in time to see a bit too beautiful god pull out a chair across from you, just sitting at your library table as well then with a friendly smile.
âHi, Eros,â you said reflexively, still sounding a bit not yourself. He was just your cousin after all, well cousin once removed anyway.
But when he didnât say anything immediately back, just giving you a sort of sympathetic look instead, the real threat of his presence hit you at once like a lead weight as your eyes widened a little.
âNo...no, no, no.â You said quickly, lowering your voice as you leaned in towards the god, not knowing what other ears may be listening. âEros, I literally just met him. Four times total!â You counted out four fingers from your hand, waving them in front of him for emphasis.
He tilted his head. Yet only answering gently, âCousin, I sensed you as soon as you arrived here. Are you okay?â
You sighed, but knew you could trust him to keep this revelation to himself. It was part of his job frankly. âIt wouldnât matter would it? I mean, I know you havenât met him. But heâs not going to feel the same. Iâd think at most it would be some kind of possessive thing. He is...well, heâs very self important. Honesty is also not a preference of his.â
But to this Eros just smiled. âNo one is perfect, especially among our kind. I can tell you with full certainty though that the biggest lie ever told is when someone claims to not desire love. Iâve seen the hearts of the cruelest dictators all the way to the homeless peasant in the street. They all beg me for it deep down. Even if they canât always admit it to themselves.â
You rested your elbows on the table, just looking down again. âBut that doesnât mean heâd want it from me necessarily.â
âLove is never a given. It wouldnât be so valuable otherwise. But you canât lose hope too soon just because youâre new at something. You need to see it through. Thatâs the only way to ever find out.â
You looked back up at him wryly, knowing it would be foolish not to accept a little relationship advice from the god of love himself. But as heâd said there was no guarantee this would end up working either. âSo if everything goes horribly wrong, I can just blame you, right?â
He shrugged, a bit of a wise ass himself to be true. âMight as well. Everyone else does.â
ââââââââââ

Jealous
Summary: You get jealous that he was âflirtingâ with another idol
Genre: fluff, smut «dont read if you dislike this, you have been warned»
Yeonjun x reader
â.*âąâ
đrequest by anon: Hi! May I request jealous sex with Yeonjun? In which case the reader get's jealous of another idol being too close with Yeonjun?
A/n: havent wrote a smut in a while, hope you liked this!
======================================
You were ignoring him. Was it petty? Yes. Was it necessary? Well, to you it was. Did he deserve it? That was debatable, but to you it was a hell yeah he did.
So, what exactly did he do that made you this mad? Some may say it was harmless. Some may say you were overreacting. But he was flirting with another girl! Right in front of you! Another idol to be exact.
Okay sure, technically the both of you werenât in a relationship. And yes, he had free will do what he wanted. The relationship between the two of you could have been described as... complicated. It was painfully obvious that the two of you liked each other. I mean, every-time you passed each other, yeonjun would either blow you a kiss or wink at you playfully. And you loved to tease him every now and then. Throwing him random complements that added to his â alreadyâ overinflated ego and then breaking it down again and vice versa. It was all in good fun, of course. And he knew that. It was just how your dynamic worked with him. It had been months since it first started, and you practically already acted like a couple, with all the hand holding, kissing and things that were better left to the imagination. You just never made it official, but everyone who knew you, knew the both of you were off limits.
Long story short, thatâs how yeonjun ended up in you apartment. You hadnât expected him to show up so soon. You left shortly after you witnessed the whole... ordeal... take place. You had just taken a shower, wrapping yourself in your thin silk robe when your door bell rang. And here he was.
âCome on y/n, Iâve already apologised.â He tried for what was most likely the tenth time.
You didnât budge. Frankly speaking, youâve already forgiven him, maybe after his second apology or so. But seeing his attempts to gain your forgiveness was just too cute to pass on. You were sure he had figured that out by now and was simply playing alone.
âY/n, please? Iâm sorry.â He pouted this time, trying to catch you glance. Giving you puppy dog eyes the entire time. âI was just kidding. You know i would never hit on anyone other than you.â
You didnât reply, trying your hardest not to let a smile break your, slowly but surely, shattering demeanour .
âY/nnnnn,â he whined again, poking your cheek. âI swear i was just having a conversation.â
Gosh, why did this boy had to be so darn cute all the time.
You let giggled escape this time. By the time you caught yourself, heâd already noticed. And he took that opportunity to hook an arm around your waist, tugging you closer to him. Sealing your back against his chest.
Something pulled at his lips, âi really am sorry.â A short pause before he continued. âWere you really that jealous?â You werenât even facing him, but you hear the smug grin that was plastered on his face.
His question caught you off guard. âI- I was not jealous.â Never have you wanted to crawl under the table as much as you did in this moment.
Interest sparked in his eyes. âIs that so?â His hands rubbing gentle circles against your sides. âMy mistake, then. But i have to admit,â he leaned in closer to your ear to whisper, âthat knowledge actually made me extremely turned on.â
Your cheeks coloured at his confession. How were you supposed to reply to that?
âBaby... let me make it up to you,â he murmured.
He placed his hand on your shoulders, spinning you to face him as he leaned towards you. His lips were soft yet unrelentingly firm. Wasting no time to make your thoughts go blurry with nothing but the idea of him. He let his hand slide down your thighs, over the robe you wore. Lifting you to your toes then hire, he wrapped your legs around his waist. The lower half of the robe parted as the upper half rolled of your shoulders.
Yeonjunâs growing hardness pressed into you, and your body answered on its own accord, moving against him, dragging a grunt out from him. You werenât sure if it was his hand kneading at your rear, feeling of him between your thighs or the intensity of the kiss that drove you closer to the edge. Perhaps it was a combination of everything. Everything about this man drove you insane.
âBedroom?â His chest rising heavily against yours.
You nodded and his lips were back on yours as he walked you both to your room. Not having to look where he was going, he knew your entire apartment by muscle memory.
After several moments, one of his arms folded over your waist, his other in your hair as he lowered you onto the bed. The back of head rested on your pillows as his hand eased from underneath you. You opened your eyes when you felt the bed dip with his weight. His hands on either side of your head as he hovered over you.
Noticing that the robe had now slipped even further, you wanted to cover yourself. But you didnât move. The swells of your breasts were now visible, and an entire leg was out, all the way to you hip. You simply shifted your gaze to his.
Neither of you spoke as his chests rose and fell, his breathing as uneven as yours. His lips parted, but no words came out. His muscles rigid as he held him up before he ducked his to neck. Kissing a trail along your jaw, down to your collar bones. Your breath hitched as you burned more.
âY/n...â there was an abundance of need in that one word, your name. âLet me make it up to you the only way i know how.â
His hand drifted over you stomach, where your skin had been exposed. You could barely breathe or think as his lips brushed against the neckline of the robe. You felt the warm glide of his tongue through the fabric. You gasped, shocked by the act and rush that it brought you. His gaze lifted to you as his mouth closed over the tip of your breast. He sucked deep and long, and your gasp quickly turned into a cry. You felt his hand move closer to where you needed him the most, pressing down against your bundle of nerves.
âFuck,â you sighed.
âMmm.â His lips shifted back to your neck. âYou like that, baby?â
There was no point replying. He already knew the answer, and he did it again, causing you to whimper more.
âYouâre very wet, y/n.â He breathed against your jaw. âI like that.â A pause. âI also like how you react to my touch.â
Without another word, yeonjun turned you to the side, away from him. Confused, you looked back to him as he stretched out behind you. He rested on his elbow and met your eyes.
âIâll take care of you,â he hummed, pulling you into the cradle of his hip.
Your robe had slipped and now there was nothing but the jeans he wore between your bare rear and the hard length of him. You bit your lip as he trailed down you side and lifted your leg, sliding one of his between. His hand drew along your body before meeting with your wetness. His touch remaining light, almost featherlike, as he slid a finger across your center, causing your entire body to twitch. He continued this motion for what felt like eternity, and then he sank that finger in. You kicked your head back against his chest, letting out a breathy moan.
âYouâre the only one for me,â he grunted. âYou know that.â He pulled his finger almost completely out of you before inching it back in again.
You couldnât respond as fire sparked inside of you with each thrust of his finger. He angled his hand so that his thumb could brush against your sensitive nerves. Each motion taking more breathe out of you. His worked his other arm around you, and across your chest. Palming and squeezing your breast as he worked in a second finger.
âYeonjun.â You managed, your hips still moving.
And you could tell he was loosing his composure when he replied. âAh fuck.â He sucked in a breath. âJust ride my fingers.â
You cried out, rubbing harder against his hand, against him. His breaths hitched in his throat as you did this. Looking back, you saw him watching hand, watching you grind and clench around them. Right then, you couldnât even remember what you had been jealous about. Was it some bitch? Well, she wasnât the one here with yeonjun now. Your stomach tightened as you continued to ride his fingers, riding his length that pressed against you behind.
He started to move so there was space between your bodies. Instead, you reached for his hip, nails digging into his skin as a silent demand.
And yeonjun obeyed.
He stilled, cursing as his plunged his fingers faster, rubbing your clit harder. You rocked against him, the feeling in your lower stomach becoming too much. With a final thrust, you moaned out when you came. You shuddered around his fingers and he shuddered against you, still moving his digits, exploiting every sensation from you until you went limb in his arms.
You stayed there, both your breathing slowly steadying. He eased out of you and you turned your head to face him. You expected to see that cocky grin of his. But you caught the red hue that tinted his cheeks instead. And slowly you became aware of the dampness at your lower back. You eyes widened when you realised.
âSorry,â a sheepish smirk appearing, pulling your robe back to its original state. âOnly you could do this to me.â
Now it was your turn for your lips to twitch. âI guess i should get jealous more often, huh?â
âSo you were jealous~â he sang.
âShut up.â

Work You Out (M)

Pairing: Jungkook x ReaderÂ

Summary: Working for Hybe has been an experience. Being Jungkook's manager is another story. His sharp eyes, firm jawine and snarky attitude was a deadly combination to begin with. The guy easily found his way to your heart and you simply couldn't take it anymore.
Notes: Hello!! That's another installment of the imaginary scenarios myself and my best friend @nomunamuinmybrainâ come up with while driving by the coast line. This oneshot is going to be cross-posted on her profile too. Enjoy!!
Word Count: 2.4K
Thinking back to how I managed to land such an unimaginable employment opportunity must have been a miracle. Unquestionably, working for HYBE had so many benefits; I swore to never leave this place. Sure, I was a simple manager's assistant, but I was by the side of one of the managers that handled the most important talent in the stretch of South Korea, the entire globe to be honest, BTS. I was assigned the position of assistant to the manager of one of the guys, none other than Jeon Jungkook. I really couldnât believe my luck. Not only was I a part of one of the most skyrocketing influential enterprises in the country, but I also had the chance to meet some of the most inspiring people in the whole world! Who would have thought?!
Did I have a crush on the guy by the end of my first month working here? Yes, but who wouldn't? He is the sweetest, always polite and courteous. I've met my share of self-boasting asshats; this industry is flooded with such. This guy is worth billions and he has remained ridiculously humble. Word got around about him being a wonderful young man and I could positively say he is so much more up close. Jungkook is ridiculously handsome thatâs a given already, but his personality was the real deal-maker. He reminds me of a dark stormy thundery night where I cover myself with my favourite warm fluffy blanket starring out of the window a rich flavored hot chocolate in hand.
In general, I quite enjoy working at the companyâs principled environment. Donât get me wrong, nothing in this world is rainbows and butterflies, but overall, I can confidently say that itâs been a mainly positive experience. Thankfully, the department I am in is assembled by kind, funny people who like to get things done. There hasnât been a day were I regretted coming here. As for my daily duties as an assistant, working for Jungkook meant keeping up with his appointments, helping him with anything at anytime, managing his schedule, making sure it matches with the other guys' and so much more. I was required to work around the clock and as a single independent woman in her late twenties who was trying to figure out the world around her that didnât sound like such a bad idea, though I digress. Essentially, I was one of the employees responsible for pretty much anything and everything he needed. Our department was at his disposal 24/7 running around, living that busy life.
That's until the pandemic struck. That was the first time I thought to myself that this might be natureâs valiant plan to get back what man so forcefully took from her. Suddenly, everything was canceled; life got put on a hold. My dearest supervisor, Jungkook's manager, had to stay at home because he had kids. In fact, a lot of people had to stay at home. Abruptly, days became weeks and weeks became months. The desperation and frustration we were feeling was like nothing else ever experienced. Truthfully, it felt like something had been stolen from us and we could never get it back. In this manner, when the gears finally started grinding again I was assigned to be the on-site manager for Jungkook. That meant being in direct contact with him more so than before and of course, being responsible for a ton of other obligations.
Not going to lie, the first months were slightly awkward for both of us and understandably so. We both were used to very different working arrangements. I might have been working behind the scenes before, but now I had to step into the spotlight becoming his own personal shadow, and I am sure he wasnât really comfortable with that. Taken into account the current situation everyone looked like a volcano ready to erupt.
Once, I happened to accidentally step in a not so common incident; maybe it was a circumstance I wasnât supposed to witness. He was on the phone at the time, when I saw him. Thatâs why I decided it was best if I stayed behind the half closed door of the studio. I couldnât hear what he was saying and it was none of my business after all, but I could tell by the minute I laid my eyes on him that something was wrong. Something had been bothering him; irritation written all over his face. He was pacing back and forth, phone still on his ear. He was clenching his fist so hard I wondered if his nails cut into his skin. He was breathing heavily, almost as if he would burst and his muscles grew tense.
Then, in an instant, it seemed that the call ended and as he was putting the phone in his pocket he slammed his fists down onto the table a loud bang echoing in the room. After some consideration, I knocked on the door to make my presence known and he sharply looked at me. Without having the chance to say anything to him he let out a loud growl and left the room leaving me dumbfounded and unaware by the door. Soon after that, he apologized for the way he acted confessing that he had an unfortunate falling out with one of his closest friends and at the time he couldnât process what was happening. I would never forget that day. It was the day I came across a not so familiar side to him.
From that day forward, things miraculously became easier and Jungkook was way more relaxed around my presence, we joked around often and he even texted me to ask about a variety of things outside of regular working hours. We managed to develop a teasing relationship full of endless borderline flirtatious banter. He had this other side to him that only a selected few got the chance to know. Jeon Jungkook was indeed a comforting raging night, but he was also an infuriating playful mischievous brat when he wanted to be. This in all honesty, made him a hundred times more irresistible in my eyes.
Life was going on smoothly until Jungkook decided that taking after midnight trips to the gym was perfectly acceptable, insisting that I escort him instead of his bodyguard. I cursed every single time but I went anyway. Forty-five minutes after midnight he was lifting weights, unbothered. Taking secret short glances towards him I contemplated what I had done in my previous life to deserve this torment. Donât get me wrong, I couldnât care less about the late hour, but to have this view in front of my eyes was causing me both mental and physical pain. The guy was clearly sculpted by the gods. With his broad chest, muscular arms and thick thighs he could have anyone he ever wanted. He even sported an hourglass figure; He is insanely unreal. Thatâs the main reason why I decided to sit there preoccupied with a silly game on my phone to kill time until the suffering ended. I was barely hanging from a string at the verge of blowing off the barrier between my personal and professional life.
Out of the blue, with a loud grunt, he dropped the weights, drawing me out of my contemplation. He looked annoyed for whatever reason. He tried his best to seem nonchalant but it was obvious, in his beautiful stern eyes. Could he be craving for an audience? Abandoning every rational thought I had, I put my phone away, looked in his direction as I got up to get water. I smirked at his clear annoyance. Surely, we weren't supposed to interact with the artists this way but I am cranky and sleepy, and for the first time ever, he was being kind of an ass to me. Was I perhaps the reason behind his sudden personality change? The thought kept floating at the back of my mind.
This kept going on for about three weeks or so and I gave him nothing. His annoyance prominent in his expression, more and more as the weeks went by. He was hot but I am sure all he had been seeking was an audience given that he missed it, or so I thought. Thursday evening rolls around and I was particularly iffy tonight âbecause I was extremely frustrated, sexually. This one was making my situation worse, sporting a tight black tank top and skinny grey sweatpants which made him look like a treat. He could easily pass for a bodyguard with those broad well-built shoulders. As my eyes scanned his body I realized this was the first time his tatted sleeve was on display. I couldnât help but let my eyes wander. By the time I was done his eyes were already fixed on mine and I turned away immediately, embarrassment written all over my face.
Seeking solace in the womenâs bathroom I tried to extinguish this ravenous yearning. The feeling of cold water did nothing to help the burning desire that was building inside me. Without warning, a knock at the door was heard, his sweet angelic voice following "Are you okay?" he asked, the remnants of a smirk could be heard still. "Jungkook you cannot be here, I am okay. I'll be out in a minute." I exclaimed, as calm as I could. "It's been ten minutes. I can't continue unless you're there." He insisted, I heard him chuckle after that.
With that, it was now or never, I pushed the doorâs handle and made my way outside rolling my eyes in the process and he caught that, quickly moving closer, clearly annoyed, jaw clenched, eyes taking in my features, making him look not quite intimidating but definitely interesting. No, it was my mistake. Not just interesting, he looked ravishing. "As I said, I'll be out in a minute. Then you can finish up" I argued. But he didn't budge, moving even closer, if that was even possible, he was almost a breath away. "I don't feel like working out anymore" he declared like a child whose toy was taken away from him. As if I chose to play heads or tails with my career, I poked the beast further, "What is it that you want to do then?" I asked making sure he heard the annoyance in my tone. Coming even closer, to the point where he was completely pressed up against me, "You" he uttered calmly yet authoritatively. Before I could process what he had just said his soft lips crushed mine with a vengeance, thirsty. Pulling my lip with his teeth, he kept planting kisses from my lips to my jaw trailing down to my neck and dĂ©colletage; a surprised panting left my lips.
It felt as if I had involuntarily awakened this beastly hunger within him. His kisses insatiable and his touch was possessive, "I've been thinking about this for so long" he confessed as he took my hoodie off. "Sitting there, not giving a word let alone a glimpse. If you think this is off-limits you're wrong" he growled pointing at himself. "I can guarantee that once we're done here you definitely won't be able to look at me, ever." As he said all that, he managed to get me in a compromising position against the sink, his slim waist in between my legs. He kept my gaze as he lowered his head between my thighs. Little shit kept giving me hickeys on the soft flesh of my inner thighs, so close to my now dripping core. He enjoyed tormenting me and it showed. I was helpless but oh, God was all of this hot. He licked a stripe over my soaked panties, "Oh baby, you smell delicious" and with one hand he took off my underwear completely.
He sank in my folds, letting a guttural moan that I felt vibrating through my core. Not being able to think about what was happening I let myself indulge in my carnal desire my hands tangled in between his luscious hair.
He loved food and I've watched him eat before, but this must be one of his favorites âcause he was doing his best not to let a drop go to waste; he acted like a man starved. His hands held me in place, thankfully, âcause everything was too much; nothing could stop me from shaking, feeling everything deep in my core, he was too much. He just had to be good at everything. He kept a torturous tempo, from sucking my clit to his sinful tongue penetrating me, and as tears gathered around my eyes he decided to add his slender fingers in bringing me closer to heaven than I've ever been. "That's it baby, let go. Let go for me" he exhaled and just like that I had the most intense climax. My limbs felt numb, my whole body felt like rubber.
Before I could register what was happening he was back at it, sucking my over stimulated clit, my thighs unconsciously closing around his head as oversensitivity hit. "One more, please, come on baby, you can do it" he begged. He kept pumping his fingers while sucking my clit, as if it was his only goal in life. My screams muffled through my own hand clamped on my mouth as I reached my high for a second time that night. I felt it take over me with such intensity I didn't register what had happened. He emerged from between my thighs, soaked from me squirting and with a proud look on his face he declared "Now I look like I had the workout of a lifetime".
He helped me get dressed and pulled me close for a soft peck. He must have noticed my concerned look because he wrapped his arms around me in a warm hug and said "Don't be scared about this, we can work it out. I really like you and I'd like you to stick around". Starring into his eyes, I nodded and he pulled me close for the sweetest kiss, trying to tame my bewildered hair. He helped me get dressed and got out the door first to make sure that no one was around. I waited for a moment and then I got a text.
