#or to be staring up at them unable to stop smiling and giggling in anticipation

[ticklingmesoftly]

When you're play-wrestling or in a tickle fight and you're doing okay and fighting them off and then they pin your arm or your leg or your ankle and you try to get away but you can't and they realize it as soon as you do and they do that cocky laugh and smirk and say something about you being trapped and you know you're fucked and you get that instant feeling of dread and your eyes widen and you immediately start begging "no no no, waitwaitwait, please, please, I'm sorry, I'm sorry -- " and you're already giggling and it's coming and you can't stop it and AGHHHHHH.

... just saying I'm totally normal about it. 🫠

♡ masterlist ♡ request more! ♡

summary: the date you've been waiting for dreading.

a/n: so i did the thing again where i dissapeared lol but IM BACK plz enjoy my offering

you get home safely, with soap, and you don't say a singular word. just kind of dumbly stare out the window and then at him when he helps you out of the car and into your house.

you can't stop thinking about ghost, and the fact that you quite literally cornered yourself into going on a date with your stalker

you really chalk it up to having some type of third response to danger, fight, flight or say the most ridiculous thing you possibly can. obviously you chose the third.

you go to bed that night with your cat in your arms, as if they can protect you from you're own stupid decision. you're shivering no matter how warm you try to get, and your cat throws you irritated side eyes.

you wake up with no sign of ghost. no calls, no texts, no emails. you try not to think about if he was in the house while you slept, like he had been before.

you try to have a normal day, but you're plagued with anxiety and anticipation

you decide to go outside, walk to the little coffee shop that's nearby to get fresh air and be somewhere you knew ghost hadn't been

you spend a few hours out, window shopping and trying to clear your head. you head back when the sun starts to go down, not keen on being out after dark.

what you come back to is almost comical.

you stumble through the door, eyes snapping to the huge figure in your kitchen. he turns around suddenly, and your cat is in his arms, rubbing her face against his mask. you only see it for half a second before he's setting them on the counter faster than you can blink. your cat lets out an irritated meow, and somehow even through the mask, ghost looks guilty

you laugh, you honest to god laugh. "oh my god. you fucking traitor." you whisper at your cat, trying to suppress your giggles. yeah, add this to the list of danger responses.

ghost straightens, and then you notice your surroundings. there's roses in a vase on your table, and he's cooking, there's at least 3 different pans and it smells incredible and you're dumbfounded. you stare at him, unable to say anything.

"welcome to your date love." he turns back to the stove, and you're grateful, because you feel like you can't move while he's looking. like one wrong move will make him snap and your worst nightmares will come true. you keep reminding yourself that nothing has happened before, and you take a seat in the chair at the table closest to the door.

"um, the roses are nice." you can see him cooking at this angle. "glad you like 'em. dinner will be done in a few." he doesn't turn around. he doesn't know how this will go, he's expecting you to run out at any moment, screaming bloody murder. he's trying to help you feel safe by turning his back, giving you the upper hand (or at least the illusion of the upper hand).

underneath that worry though, ghost was thriving in this scenario. it was like watching all of his fantasies come true, he couldn't help but preen under your compliment, and the ability to show you he can provide

you're still a little in shock. you don't say anything as ghost serves you dinner, your favorite, not surprising. you watch as he rolls up his mask, and takes a bite. it still doesn't convince you of the possibility of it being drugged.

"it's alright dove, not 'ere to hurt you, just 'ere to give you the date i promised." as he says it, your cat jumps onto the table, knocking over a glass of water. ghost stands, and looks down to find all the water had made it directly into his lap.

you find yourself laughing for the second time of the night. here your stalker is, looking like he peed himself. he chuckles himself, and you have to look away when you see his lopsided smile. you stand and grab a towel, temporarily forgetting the situation you were in. it was way too easy to see this as a real first date, awkward parts and all.

"thanks." he sits back down, clearing his throat. the proximity to you was intoxicating, but he was still worried about running you off.

you sit back down too, and take and slowly take a bite of the food. it's delicious, and you still can't believe the absurdity of the situation. "this is really great ghost. really." your voice is small, and music to his ears.

"thank you. m'sorry about breaking in. swear 'm just trying to make your life easier."

you decide to start testing boundaries, as one would. "maybe, since this is going... okay, you can stop coming in when i don't know? like maybe we can just keep doing this every once in a while?" damage control is all you can think of.

ghost thinks for a moment. "i dunno about that one love. how 'bout i give you a heads up when i do come in?"

"no more coming in here while i'm sleeping. and you still have to tell me when you're in my house."

"alright," he crosses his arm and leans back on the chair. do you hate how big he is because you're scared, or because you secretly like it? "i tell you when i come over, and no more coming in at night. but you 'ave to promise me one date a week."

you can't believe you're negotiating with this man. "okay." you concede.

he smiles and pulls his mask back down. he makes his way over to you, stroking your hair for half a second before clearing your plate. "look at us. arguing like a proper old couple already. "

as he does the dishes, you ask him more questions. he's answers as truthfully as he can, leaving out details here and there. no need to startle you.

you learn he was in the military, that the two men are some of the only people he's close with, that he trusts. besides you, of course. you feel like he throws that in to tell you to be wary of using this information against him.

from what you can tell, this is just a severely damaged man. the actions he was taking against you was just his reaction to loneliness, and his need to provide.

against your will, you feel the need to help him fill that hole. the need to tread lightly dissipates by the minute, and against your better judgement, you find yourself enjoying his company. and hey, he made dinner and did the dishes. that has to speak to his character somehow

later, he grabs your hand and runs rough fingers over your soft knuckles. promises he'll call, and then leaves.

and you're left alone, forced to do what you've done a lot lately; ponder your life decisions, and think about the large, surprisingly harmless stalker of yours..

★ - Some assistance

You and your boyfriend are lounging on the couch in the living room, winding down after a long day. He's drinking his evening tea and reading while you unsuccessfully distract yourself by flicking through channels on the TV. You decide to just come out and ask what you've been meaning to ask for awhile now.

"Kento? Do you think you could make me squirt?"

This poor man chokes on his tea and almost messes it on his home shirt. He just looks at you with a face that says "Why would you ask me something like that so suddenly?" You just look at him deadpan waiting for his response. He clears his throat and composes himself, realising it was a somewhat serious question and his girlfriend (soon to be fiancé, hopefully) wasn't just playing some dumb joke. 

"Well... I'm sure I could try, Y/n. But why bring that up so out of the blue, if you mind me asking."

He responds, as polite as always. He makes you feel so safe in his presence it's almost supernatural.

"Uh... I've just been thinking about it for awhile, I guess." He places his mug on the coffee table, the one that says "Live, Laugh, Love" in exaggerated curly font, courtesy of Gojo. He doesn't know why you insist on making his tea in that mug but he drinks it every time anyway. He brings your legs into his lap and lightly massages them silently asking you to continue. 

"I'm just curious to see if I can is all. Whenever I've tried to do it myself, I always just get too sensitive and stop, but... If I had someone else do it, I think I might actually be able to."

You explain this to him almost like a scientist explains their hypothesis, like you've thought about it for awhile. He rubs under your shins and thinks for a bit. he would very much like to be the one to make you squirt and he's confident in his abilities but he also doesn't want you to be upset if you end up not being able to do it.

"I also just think it would be really hot if you made me squirt." 

That breaks him out of his thoughts with a disbelieving huff. 

"The problem is that when I get sensitive I'm gonna be yelling for you to stop out of second nature. But you can't stop Kento, you have to keep going until I either squirt or say the safe word. Can you do that, Baby?" Nanami looks up at your serious face, you really have thought about this quite a bit. He nods his head, sealing the deal. You just stare at eachother for a moment longer, the TV still going in the back. You break out in a smile, unable to keep the semi-serious atmosphere. 

"Can- can we do it now?" You ask the man on the opposite end of the couch while you try and stifle a giggle. 

Nanami smiles and pulls you closer to him by your legs. You yelp as you get yanked into his lap where he attacks your neck with kisses. He hoists you up and starts walking to the bedroom. Once he sets you onto your shared bed, you start removing your shirt and shorts while he rummages in the cupboard for a towel that he puts down on the bed before undressing himself.

You're almost shaking with excitement and anticipation. Nanami sits against the headboard in nothing but his boxers, placing the towel on the bed in front of him. He watches as you turn to him with that sultry look in your eyes. You crawl your way up the bed on all fours until you're right between his muscular thighs. Your hands glide up his thighs and waist, you kiss him with need and he reciprocates. You break the connection to feel yourself up infront of him and sensually take off your bra. You present yourself to him and kiss him again before turning around and pressing your back to his chest. 

His hands go to your waist to gently squeeze and rub there. You spare no flare when taking off your panties and you adjust yourself so that both your legs are wide open, slightly bent and his stronger ones are over yours, forcing them to stay open.

"Put your legs like this so that it stops me from closing mine when it gets too sensitive." 

You say as you help him into the position you want. Nanami chuckles and bends down to say lowly into your ear.

"You really have thought this whole thing through, huh?" 

You flush and nod your head as his hand moves down your body to where you want him the most. His touch is gentle at first, lightly stroking down your clit and lips, gathering wetness with his fingers. He starts to work his finger into you and gently rubs your clit with the other hand, coaxing you to melt into his touch. You start moaning and groaning with the pleasure your wonderful boyfriend is giving you. 

With both his hands working on your pussy so diligently, it's no wonder your first orgasm washes over you pretty quickly. Nanami keeps going at the same steady pace after you cum and it's the first out of the ordinary occurrence in this session. You usually would get a grace period after you cum to come down from the high but you and Nanami have a goal. The fact that you get no chance to come down at all is fucking with your brain and the fucked out feeling is just multiplying every second his strong hands play with your pussy. 

Nanami lays back a bit, forcing you to also lay back and expose yourself a bit more as you begin to writhe and squirm. One hand is still diligently circling your clit as he works his two middle fingers into you, slamming into that perfect spot inside you over and over and over again. You get louder and more frantic as the second orgasm hits you. Your head falls back on Nanamis chest as you groan his name. 

"Uuuuh Fuck! Feels so good Kento, soo good, so good, s' good, s' good, s' gud." You mumble and moan to him. Your second orgasm hits you full force and the pleasure doesn't stop or slow down, in fact it only gets more intense. He doesn't even slow down despite you're kicking legs and bucking hips.

Nanami eventually brings you to a third orgasm, now things really start to feel sensitive and your whines and cries of overstimulation get louder but the man doesn't tire. He keeps going, mumbling things like "Cmon, cmon Love." And "You can do it Darling". 

Before you know it the fourth wave hits you like a train, this is where you get frantically desperate as you realize he isnt even slowing down. You're now actively trying to get out of his iron hold, trying to close your legs just a little but his strong thighs keep you open for him. You're squirming and struggling and crying out.

"Wait wait wait wait!".

Your pussy is so raw and sensitive, you almost beg him to slow down but the man is going even stronger now. He's more precise with his movements, touching all the right spots with just the right amount of force to make you weep. 

"Wait Ken! It's sensitive, stoooop stopstopstop!" You hands go to his to try and make him slow down a little but Nanami isn't having any of that. You set out a goal for yourself and clear rules. He is going to make sure you reach your goals like the good partner he is.

He cages your arms against your chest with one arm hugged around you while the other still goes at your clit, rubbing frantic but deliberate circles into the pink flesh with his callous palm. The wet slick sounds of your pussy being bullied by the man you love are drowned out by the sounds coming from your mouth.

You're screaming now, legs shaking and kicking, not nearly strong enough to budge against Nanami's thick thighs forcing them wide open. Your entire body begins convulsing and spasming, you swear you feel like you're going to pee but you don't even have the mind to be concerned about that. You can only scream an intelligible jumble of pleas at this point as your nails dig into his arm. 

"Cmon Honey, just one more f'me, your doing so well."

The praise makes you go even dumber as you're quickly brought to the end of your rope. The last strand snaps and a tidel wave of violent hot pleasure comes crashing down on your entire being. Your eyes roll to the back of your head, your screams turn to silent hiccups and overwhelmed chokes.

Your body convulses violently and your back arches off Nanamis chest as he holds you tightly to his chest. It's by far the most intense orgasm of your life and you don't even register the jet of clear liquid shooting out from you untill you hear Nanamis loud groan at the sight.

"There you go, that's my girl."

You're brought back to earth and let out a long groan as Nanami presses up on the hood of your clit to force more squirt out of you, the feeling is even more euphoric than you thought it could ever be. 

Nanami pats your pussy, making sure he gets every last drop out as your wetness trickles down your pussy and ass onto the towel Nanami set down, which was definitely not enough to keep the bed dry. You drop your body completely limp onto Nanamis chest as you both catch your breath.

Nanami releases your arms and your hand immediately goes to cup your swollen, abused pussy with a whine. Nanami chuckles and runs his hands down your back and around your waist, soothing you, bringing you down gently while mumbling little praises. You curl up on top of him and dig your face into his neck with another small whine. 

"Love you s'much." You mumble into his hot skin. He chuckles at you once again. 

"I love you too, Baby."

freckles & blades & helping hands

✎___ husband!diluc × spouse!reader

✎___ a/n: domestic fluff (literally just a soft scene of diluc shaving his scruff), i aged diluc up a bit i think. use of the pet name honey. somewhat inspired by @/mmmairon's art of beefy, gentle, kind diluc :> 730~ words, not proofread; art by ary scheffer.

"do you need any help?"

legs swinging on the counter top, you lean in & stare, eyes glazing over the handsome lines of your husband's face on the mirror. he has a few crow's feet near his temples. whenever you point it out, he'll always say the wrinkles are evidence of you, you who make him smile & laugh & chuckle until his stomach hurts. it's evidence of a life laughter, he'd say.

the sharp stipple of the razor cuts through the silence.

"no, honey," he says, turning his head & angling the blade to the scruff on his jaw. "it's alright."

the words are spoken softly. it was jarring a few years ago, hearing words of buttercream & sweetness come from a man such as diluc, hulking, dignified, broad-shouldered, almost always with a dour expression on his face.

there was a handsomeness to the gloom before. the sharpness of brows, the bite of his frowns, the particular wrinkle when he scrunches his nose... but you have to admit, the allure is multiplied tenfold when he's all honeyed & dewy-eyed, softer than a cloud.

"i could do it for you, you know?"

his eyes never leave the mirror.

"i still don't understand this... fixation you have," he angles his face in an almost-quarter turn. "i'm just shaving, hon. it's no event you have to witness."

"of course, it is." you lean a little closer. "it's like an unveiling. my husband is showing his true face, one without scruff or stubble."

"an unveiling― ?" his shoulders shake & he puts down the razor for a few moments, small bouts of giggles floating through the room.

he rights himself.

"behave. i'm never gonna finished in time." his stern voice is all for show. he's smiling as he says the words.

a beat passes.

"but isn't it though? they'll finally see all your face. happy wrinkles & all."

he's struggling to fix his lip into a line, unable to stop it from curling into a smile. he's repeating your last few words, mouthing them out as he brings down the razor.

the silence after then is sweet, filled with curious looks towards his face filled with foam & other little chuckles.

"so..." your voice cuts through.

"so...?"

"could i do it for you?"

he taps the razor on the marble sink, shucking hair & foam off the blade.

"you don't know how..." another swipe of the razor.

"you could teach me." tap tap.

"i've..." swipe. "already started." tap

"just the basics." swipe. "an impromptu lesson, yeah? against the grain & all that?"

"it's with the grain, honey."

"right, yeah... i knew that... so are you gonna teach me?"

"hm..."

"oh? usually it's a big, disapproving hrrrnn..."

"you've catalogued my grousing?"

"yup yup, because i am a good spouse who tends to the needs of my husband."

he laughs at that, quietly. another wrinkle on his temple.

"alright, alright... here..."

he gives the razor, grasping it in your hand. he's gentle, careful, righting your hold of the blade.

"okay... here's how it should be..." he guides your hand towards his cheek, speaking in soft murmurs. "just like how my father taught me. listen."

he pulls down, a swipe against his face. hair & foam give way for his pale skin.

"there. let the blade do the work, honey. don't push too harshly."

he makes another swipe, his hand still guiding yours.

"here, just like this." swipe swipe swipe. "you wanna try?"

your small palm finds the back of his neck, pulling him close. brows furrow in concentration as the razor anticipates the next swipe.

"careful, honey, okay?" the warmth of his hand leaves. "i trust you."

shaking fingers steel themselves. the blade goes still before landing on the softness of his skin. it coasts across his jaw, cold metal kissing warm flesh. the line is carved against the shaving foam, no longer obscuring his face.

the swipe is finished. the trust was not betrayed. the result of your work is there upon the blade, as patches of coarse hair & crisp shaving foam.

"how was that?" you murmur.

"wonderful." he's staring into your eyes, not at the razor like you expected. "would you like to keep going?"

"yes, please." you poke at his newly shaven jaw. "i've never noticed your little freckle here."

"i have a few." he pinches your nose. "let's keep going. maybe we can find a few more."

Okay could I request a Matt X Chris’s bsf! Reader. Like Chris knows his bestie has it BAD for his brother and he tries to set them up

Divulgence- Matt Sturniolo

warnings : idk, corny dad jokes that i legit died laughing over lmaoo

—

“What did the blanket say as it fell off the bed?” Chris asks, hardly able to hold in his giggles. “Oh sheet!”

Matt and I simultaneously burst into laughter, dramatically falling into one another as we struggle to catch our breaths. Chris starts rolling on the floor, his screams sounding throughout the house as he flails his limbs.

“What do you call a man with a rubber toe?” Matt asks, a goofy grin spread over his lips. “Roberto.”

I can’t help but repeatedly hit the couch as my laughter starts up again, completely amused at their corny jokes. Chris is back up for just a second, grabbing onto Matt’s shoulders before falling back to the ground, his face bright red due to the amount of laughter constricting his breath. After a few more minutes of silly giggles, both boys look at me expectantly.

I pause, thinking for a second, before I start snickering to myself. “What happens when you slap Dwayne Johnson on the butt? You hit rock bottom.”

Once again, the three of us are doubling over, unable to contain the joyous sounds coming from our mouths. Tears streaming down our faces, all of us feeling hot with the excessive laughter.

“Wait! Wait!” Matt shouts, attempting to catch his breath before continuing, “Why should you never fight a dinosaur?”

Me and Chris share a look with smiles on our faces, anticipating the punchline.

“Because you’ll get jurasskicked!” Matt exclaims, his voice booming as he starts howling.

Chris and I lose it, our screams echoing around the living room. My body shakes with giggles pouring out of me, left and right. I fall onto Matt’s lap, my head landing on his thighs, slowly calming down. I haven’t laughed this hard in a while, my breath is still erratic. His hands find their way into my hair, brushing it out of my face and wiping the tears from my cheeks. I make eye contact with Chris, who smirks at me as my face flushes pink.

Matt’s left arms falls over my side, his right hand still running through my hair, sending shivers down my body. Chris watches us, his smirk growing wider before sending me a quick wink, causing my cheeks to burn brighter. I turn my head to look up at Matt and realize he’s already looking at me. After he notices he’s been caught staring at me, he awkwardly looks away, a faint blush fanning his face.

“Hey, Y/N. Follow me real quick, I’ve got something to show you.” Chris calls out, beckoning me to follow him as he walks off in the direction of his room.

I give Matt a smile, patting his leg, standing up from him and following Chris. Upon walking into his room, he shuts the door and turns to me with a devilish grin on his face.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” I ask, a small smile on my lips as I furrow my eyebrows in confusion.

“When are you going to tell him?” He asks.

My smile fades, a frown taking its place. “Why are you so insistent on me telling him?”

“Because you’re completely head over heels for him.” Chris points out

“That’s beside the point.” I mutter, dismissively.

“Y/N, I love you. You’re my best friend, but be so fucking for real.” He stares at me, his face giving off that he’s fed up.

“What?!” I exclaim, falling back on his bed.

“If you don’t tell him, I will.” He crosses his arms.

I shoot back up, immediately glaring at him, “You wouldn’t!”

He gives me a look and makes a move for his door, prompting me to sprint over to him, jumping on his back.

“Christoper Owen, stop it right now!” I shout, attempting and failing to get him to stop.

He ignores me, walking out of his room and up the stairs, me still on his back. He rounds the corner, entering the kitchen and heading straight for the living room that Matt still resides in.

“Seriously, kid. Knock it the fuck off.” I groan, hitting his back, though it was no use as he’s intent on getting me to spill my feelings for his brother.

Hearing my voice, Matt turns his head and widens his eyes at us, not expecting to see me yanking back on Chris, despite my futile attempts to do literally anything. Chris shakes me off his back, effortlessly, then turns to Matt.

“Follow me real quick, I want to show you something.” Chris says to him, just as he did to me five minutes ago.

I roll my eyes, “Chris, I swear to God.”

He holds his hand out to me, silently telling me to shut up, before waving his hand to Matt, ushering him back in the direction of his room. Matt, obviously confused, obliges anyways and heads downstairs with Chris in suit.

I sit back on the couch, anxiety building in my stomach, my nerves shot. I can’t help the slight tremble in my hands and the bouncing of my foot as I think of the worst.

Chris is my best friend, we’ve been friends for four years, and I’ve probably been in love with Matt for half that time. I never planned on telling him, as I was sure my feelings weren’t reciprocated. I cherished Matt and I’s friendship, and I didn’t want to jeopardize the dynamic. Sure, I, so badly, wanted to be with him and it hurt knowing that everything between us would only ever be platonic, but I’d rather have him as a friend than nothing at all.

Matt has always been so great to me. He’s so kind and loving, incredibly thoughtful, and we just click. I couldn’t help but fall for him and his pretty face, and I feel like an idiot for it. I can’t wrap my head around why I would let myself fall for him when it’s not necessarily the best of circumstances.

I don’t think Chris would intentionally fuck things up between us, but me not knowing what was being said between the two made me feel sick to my stomach. I‘ve always been an anxious person, but especially at times like this. My nerves are racked, and I can’t help the pit of anxiety and anticipation brewing in my stomach.

Before I can continue to dwell on my thoughts, Matt rounds the corner and makes his way to the couch opposite of me. He doesn’t say a word and doesn’t even spare me a glance. With a frown, I look back to the direction he came from, waiting for Chris to emerge, but he doesn’t. It hits me very clearly, as I now realize that Chris divulged my secret with him.

I can’t help the downward turn of my lips, my frown becoming more prominent. I can practically see the new awkwardness and tension that will be riddled throughout our friendship, making things slowly fall apart. I let out a loud breath, closing my eyes, and sighing as I throw my head back against the back of the couch. It feels like there’s a new weight on my shoulder, and I have no idea how to release it.

Suddenly, the seat next to me dips and I can feel a warm presence beside me. I don’t have to open my eyes to know that it’s Matt, I know his cologne like it’s oxygen. I slowly turn my head towards his direction, then open my eyes, immediately coming face to face with him. He stares at me for a moment, and I can’t read his facial expression, so I get a little nervous.

“Um.” He begins, pausing for a moment, before continuing, “Would you, maybe, want to go out? Like on a date? With me? Like not right now, but sometime? Whenever. If you don’t want to, that’s fine. It doesn’t have to be weird or anything, we can forget this ever happened. Like it’s totally okay, honest. Please say something, so I don’t keep rambling like an idiot.”

I can’t help the soft giggles that left my mouth, amused by his stammering. “I’d love to go on a date with you.”

His eyes widen and his mouth forms into an ‘o’ shape, “Like a date date?”

My smile grows, “Yes, Matt, a date date.”

“Wow. Nice.” He smiles back, letting out a breath. “I can’t lie, I was a bit worried you’d say no. Actually, a lot worried. Chris had to convince me to even say anything.”

“Is that what that was about?” I question, furrowing my eyebrows as I motion downstairs to Chris’ room.

He nods, “Yeah, he was basically telling me I need to stop being a pussy and just tell you how I feel.”

“Hmm. He led me to believe he was telling you about my feelings for you. I was straight up dying in here, like ready to throw up everything I’ve digested in the last 24 hours.” I admit.

He lets out a chuckle and scoots closer, placing his arm around me on the back of the couch. “So, how about you tell me about your feelings for me.”

A loud laugh escapes my mouth as I push his face away, him laughing in return as I say, “Maybe on this date you speak of.”

“Fair enough.” He shrugs, pulling me back into him.

He leans his head on my shoulder for a moment before turning it to look at me. When I turn my head in his direction, I notice our faces are only inches apart, causing me to slightly gasp. I can see his eyes flicker from mine to my lips and back, I knew what he wanted.

“Would you be upset if I asked to kiss you?” He whispers, his warm breath fanning my face.

My tongue runs over my lips, subconsciously wetting them as I shake my head from side to side, watching him watch my every move. He slowly inches closer, before his soft pink lips meet mine for the first time. It was a gentle kiss, only lasting a few seconds, before he pulled away to look at me. After taking in my reaction, he comes back in, pressing his mouth to mine. This one, being slower and longer, more passionate. After a minute, I pull back with a smile on my face as I took a deep breath.

“Give me like two minutes, and I’ll be right back.” I state, before taking off towards Chris’ room.

I quickly make my way down the stairs, and swiftly enter his room. Noticing he’s chilling on his bed, I run over to him and engulf him in a big hug. He’s surprised, but returns it nevertheless.

“You good?” He asks in a chuckle.

“Yes. I just wanna say you’re a great best friend and I love you so much. Thanks for keeping my secret, and I’m sorry I doubted you for a moment. And thanks for talking some sense into this kid.”

“Of course, I’d do anything for you.” He smiles, rubbing my back. “Now go back up there and spend some much deserved time with him. Love you, kid.”

With a giggle, I run back upstairs, leaving Chris to continue playing games on his phone. Once I make it in the kitchen, I stop for a moment and stare at Matt. He’s so pretty, I truly love everything about him. His eyes meet mine, a smile instantly pulling to his face. He nods his head at me, beckoning me to come join him once again. So I do.

“Hi.” I smile brightly at him, laying down on the sofa with my head in his lap, like earlier in the night.

“Hi.” He smiles back at me, running his hand through my hair as his other arm goes around me, pulling me closer into him.

“So, about that date.” I say, bringing my lips into my mouth to keep myself from cheesing embarrassingly hard.

The laugh he lets out ruins my attempt, as I can’t help but stare in awe at him. He’s truly everything, and I can’t be more happy that I get to indulge in that now.

you walked up to Tomas, hugging him from behind, and he let out a soft chuckle as he felt your familiar hands wrap around his slim waist

he was at one of Johnny’s parties, something to celebrate one of his movies getting an award, but you couldn’t really care, not when Tomas looked to handsome

he was gorgeous tonight, face free of stress and smiling bright, and he turned around in your hold to wrap his arms around your neck and sway to the music

it wasn’t really slow dancing music, no the beat was loud and obnoxious and fast-paced, but still, the both of you swayed slowly as he smiled softly at you underneath the blinking lights

you rest your head on his shoulder, turning your head to leave lazy open-mouthed kisses on his neck, and Tomas grows warm underneath you but welcomes the kisses

for a second, it’s just you and him in the room, holding onto each other gently, and then you pull away and give him another kiss before leaning in and saying you have a surprise for him when you both get back home, grinding your hips into his

you’re sure he can feel how the strap bulges in your loose bottoms, and how it presses against his thigh thick and heavy

he looks at you with wide eyes and then it crinkles into that familiar smirk of his as he whispers to you that he can’t wait

you let go of him, fingers lingering for just a moment on his hand before you disappear into the crowd once more to give your greetings

for Tomas, it feels like hours have passed, but the clock only says a few minutes have gone by

he can’t stop thinking about the promise you gave him earlier, and he shifts uncomfortably in his spot as he thinks of you pressing against him

hoping that the dim lights hide his flushed face, he converses with the others at the party and laughs at their jokes and dances alongside them

after about an hour, you find Tomas again, sipping on his drink in the corner and watching the crowd go wild as Johnny sprays champagne all over them

he spots you and perks up, eyes lighting up and shoulders straightening at the sight of you, and you smile a bit to yourself as you walk over to him

you give him a quick kiss on the lips, asking if he’s ready to go, and he lets out a relieved sigh and says that he thought you would never ask

the both of you give a quick goodbye to a plastered Johnny, a somewhat sober Kenshi helping him stand up, and the two of you leave quickly

the ride is quiet as you drive, one hand on the wheel and the other squeezing Tomas’s thigh, and he clenches his fists in anticipation

finally, you see the familiar entrance of your hotel pop up, and you park as quickly as possible before dragging Tomas out of his seat and into the lobby

the both of you are laughing and giggling, face flushed and eyes filled with something heady, as you push the elevator button

you stumble into the elevator, too excited to get him back to bed, and Tomas fumbled in with you

neither of you can wait, and you press Tomas into the elevator wall and kiss him, grinding your hips into his hardening cock

he groans against your mouth, having missed the taste of your lips, and his hands can’t stop tracing you, unsure of where to put his hands

he wants to put them everywhere on you, unable to get enough of your skin, and you can’t seem to decide either with how your lips travel from his lips to his neck back to his lips

your hands are gripping onto the collar of his button-up shirt, and he whines into your mouth as he feels your thick strap pressing firmly into his thigh

the doors ding open, and you quickly pull away, grabbing onto his hand and dragging him through the hallways

you almost drop the keycard in your hurry to get back to the hotel room, but finally, you enter and close the door behind you

Tomas can’t seem to wait either, grabbing onto your hips and pulling you in close as he smashes his lips against you

it’s a treacherous journey, walking to the bed when your eyes are too focused on drinking each other in, but eventually you both fall into the bed, the sheets pluming around you

the neither of you notice as you take off his shirt, kissing the lengths of exposed skin and humming into his skin

Tomas moans low, hands dripping onto your shirt and bunching it up between his fingers as he watches you through lidded-eyes

you don’t relent in your kisses as you slide lower and lower, kissing his chest then his stomach, and you unbuckle his pants and slide them off of him

you can see how his cock pushes against his underwear, begging to be freed, and you obey, pulling his underwear down

his cock slaps proudly against his stomach, tip flushed and leaking pre-cum, and you tease him a bit, saying that he’s already so eager

Tomas, somehow turning even redder, just bites his lip, unable to tear his eyes away from the sight in front of him as you finish undressing him

you’re still fully dressed, but you don’t seem to care as you lean between his spread legs and press a soft kiss to the tip of his dick

it has Tomas stifling a small moan as you start slow, just licking the length and slowly pumping your hand around him, and you swipe your thumb on the tip to spread the pre-cum along the shaft

it’s slow, purposeful with how you tease him, and he can’t help it as his hips buck up into your hands, looking for more friction

you look up at him with a teasing smirk and finally wrap your lips around the tip of his cock, sucking on it and pressing your tongue into the slit as your hands continue their slow torturous pace

Tomas fists the sheets, whimpering as he watches your lips stretch around the length and slowly bob lower and lower

you keep a steady pace, his cock heavy and hot against your tongue, and you’re sure there’s tears in your eyes as you try to control your breathing

but the sound of his small whines and moans kept you going until he hit the back of your throat, and you refrain from gagging as you keep on going

one of your hands go down, massaging his balls, and Tomas keens, his hips bucking unexpectedly into your mouth, causing you to pull off and cough

he apologizes, hands going to your head to cradle your face and make sure you were okay

your lips are shiny and coated in spit, and you look up at him with wide eyes, placing your hands over his and reassuring him it was all okay

besides, it was his turn now, and you stand back up and sit on the bed, pulling off your bottoms in one swift motion and revealing the thick strap that sat between your legs

Tomas gets off the bed, falling to his knees slowly, and you spread your thighs a little wider to allow him better access

his shoulders still manage to spread your legs even wider as he shuffles toward you, and he looks up at you with wide eyes before concentrating on the task in front of him

he places his mouth on the tip, suckling on it gently, and you bring your hand up and hold onto his hair, nothing too tight or rough, just holding it there as he slowly took your length

it’s a slow process, him concentrating on how his breath moves through his nose as he took you deeper and deeper into his throat

but as he looks up at you, with that pleased smile on your face and those gentle coos telling him he was doing so well for you, it was all worth it

he whines around your strap, the steady sound of him bobbing his head up and down further and further into his nose was buried into your pelvis had him grinding into the sheets for more friction on his weeping cock

so desperately did he want you, need you in him, and you pet his hair gently as his vision blurs with tears and as he keeps your strap buried deep in his throat

finally, you gently tug on his hair and pull up his head, and he gasps for air, face a mess as drool drips down his lips and his eyes are wet with tears

he asks you please in a hoarse voice, and you oblige, pulling him up to kiss you

you’re so sweet and beautiful, and he can still taste himself on your tongue, pressing his own further into you to try and taste you more

he really couldn’t get enough of you

finally, you pull away, breathing heavily, and then you tell him to get on his knees

Tomas quickly follows your orders, getting on his hands and knees for you, but then you press your hand firmly between his shoulder blades and push him down

he relaxes his arms and sinks his face into the sheets, back in a deep arch, and you praise him, telling him he was a good boy

he can see you getting off the bed and rummaging through the drawer for some lube, and you come back and disappear from his vision again

he wiggles a little bit, impatient and pleads with you, but you just give his ass a playful squeeze and tell him to have patience

he can hear you open the bottle cap and then close it after a moment, and then he whimpers as he feels the coldness of it spread on his hole

you shush him, murmuring for him to relax and be good, and you just trace the rim of his hole for a few seconds, getting him used to the feeling

Tomas takes in a few deep breaths, thick fingers gripping onto the sheets and tries to empty his mind, and you hum in content, finally pushing a finger in

he moans quietly at the feeling of you slowly thrusting your finger in and out, and he rocks his hips backward to get you to go deeper

you just keep going at the slow pace as you slip in another finger, spreading your fingers to really stretch him out for you, and Tomas lets out a choked moan at the feeling

your fingers are slow, careful, prodding around inside of him and looking for something specific, and then a shock of pleasure shoots up his spine, making him shiver

he moans into the sheets as you laugh and repeatedly bump your fingers into that spot, listening to his pitiful whines and whimpers

his hips can’t stop moving back on your fingers, unable to stop chasing the pleasure, and he lets out a frustrated plea as you retract your fingers

he’s so desperate for you, and you tell him soon as he hears the bottle cap open again

the slick sound of you applying lube to your strap has Tomas squirming in excitement, and when he finally feel the tips rest against his entrance, he bucks his hips backward excitedly

but your tight grip on him keeps him going far, and you tell him you need to go slow, to avoid hurting him

Tomas whines, smushing his nose into the sheets, but he listens to you, not wanting to disappoint

you push in slowly, letting him adjust for every inch, and by the time you’ve bottomed out, Tomas is breathless and crying

he felt so full and exhausted, like he’s run a marathon, and he’s glad he doesn’t have to use his arms to support himself because he surely would’ve collapsed by now

but you’re slow, rubbing your hand against his lower back and his ass and soothing him

Tomas breathes, telling his body to relax, and finally he does, starting to whine and move his hips to get you to fuck into him

you chuckle but oblige, hips thrusting in and out of him at a slow pace at first, and your slick hand goes to wrap around his cock, pumping it slowly

the sensation of you fucking into him while your hand wrapped around him had Tomas gasping and moaning out your name, crying out for more

and you were never one to disappoint your lover, and so you quickened your hips, setting a brutal pace as you matched it with your hand

it was all so much the pleasure, your moans of pleasure and the praises you showered him with, and Tomas hiccuped as he came in your hand so quickly

it felt like forever as he kept on cumming, staining the sheets with his release and you pumping him for the entirety of it

your hips never stop moving, and you adjust your position, making his head reel with pleasure as the tip bullies his prostate

you coo at him, rubbing his cock back to full standing, and Tomas cries out as the overstimulation set in for him

but still, even the pain was pleasurable and he found himself rocking his hips back onto yours, needing you deeper than you were

you just kept one hand on his cock and another on his hip to steady him as you fucked into him, whispering for him to cum again for you, to be a good boy

Tomas let the tears slip from his eyes as he came with a loud keen, cum only pathetically spurting out to join the stain on the sheets

it’s much shorter than before, but still you praise him all the same, telling him he did so good, and you slow your movements until you’ve stopped

slowly, you pull out of him, rubbing his backside and tilting him to lay on his side and relax, and he feels so tired

you lean down to give him a quick kiss on the side of his temple, telling him to let you take care of everything

he nodded, staring at you through bleary eyes as he watches you clean everything up, wiping up the stain as best you can with some tissues and cleaning yourself and the strap up

but finally you cuddle into his warmth, brushing the hair out of his eyes, and he wraps his arm around your waist and draws you in close

you nuzzle into his chest and tell him he did so well, and he hums, thanking you in a tired voice before he drifted off to sleep

PLS COMMENT & RB FOR ME PLS

thanks for reading this for me babe @les4elliewilliams u deserve to be fucked so good <3

It has been several days since you were literally knocked off of your feet by one Ellie Williams. And every day since then has been better than the last. You two have been texting non-stop, giddily giggling into your phones with warm cheeks at all hours of the day. 

All it took was one meeting, and you were utterly captivated by the adorably dog-like auburn-haired woman, her presence—even if only by phone—filling your heart with a warmth you couldn't explain. 

You can’t get the woman out of your head, always seeing her pale green eyes piercing into you when you close yours. And don’t get you started on her adorable smile, her lips quirking up and parting, showcasing a slight bit of white teeth. You groan, staring into the mirror on your desk, right hand holding eyeliner up though doing nothing to put any on. All you can think of is the way her cheeks flushed adorably, highlighting the smattering of freckles on her face. You want to trace them—learn the pattern to a T. Learn everything about her, really. 

Your daydreaming is disrupted by the buzzing of your phone which is sat face-down on your bedspread, music blaring from it’s tiny-but-mighty speakers. You drop the eyeliner you were using to make the wing on your eye, drawing a black line down your cheek in your haste. Socked feet making gentle thudding on the hardwood floor, you reach your bed in record time. With your heart racing, you swiftly pick up your phone and flip it over to see the notification. It's another message from Ellie; the sight of her name sends a wave of excitement through you, your heart dropping from your chest out of your ass and a warm flush tickling your cheeks. With trembling fingers, you open the message, eager to see what she has to say. 

Ellie's message pops up on your screen, and you can't help but grin as you read her words:

heyyy you! just wanted to say hi and see how your day is going. i've been thinking about you bunches today. craving one of those bomb cupcakes you whip up... you know, those red ones with the fucking insane frosting? the one i had the other day?

Not bothering to wait more than a few seconds, you quickly type out a response, unable to hide your own excitement:

hi ellie! literally made my day hearing from you fr ❤️ 

you send one text, instantly starting on another:

oh, the red velvet ones? i won’t be making those in the shop for a bit… BUT i can totally open the bakery on an off day and make a batch for you?

Happy with your words, you go to sit down your phone again, butterflies swooping around aggressively in your stomach, but before you do, it’s vibrating in your hand. 

It was Ellie reacting to your first message with a heart. She must have been waiting for your reply—or you were being a horrible loser and texting back too fast. Shaking your head at that thought, you watch as the texting bubble appears, heart racing as you wait for her reply. 

You can't help but feel a surge of excitement at the thought of Ellie's response. Was she as eager to continue the conversation as you were? Or perhaps she had something else in mind? With bated breath, you wait for her message to come through, the seconds feeling like an eternity as your mind races with all the possibilities of what she might say. The anticipation only adds to the butterflies swirling in your stomach, but you wouldn't have it any other way. Finally, Ellie's response comes through, and you eagerly read her message:

DUDE, no way! opening the bakery just for us? that's fucking awesome! i'm so down to hang out with you, especially if it means i get to devour those bomb-ass cupcakes. hit me up whenever you're free!

A grin spreads across your face as you read her words, your heart soaring with happiness. It seems Ellie is just as excited about the idea as you are, and the thought of spending time together fills you with warmth. It would be the first time you guys would meet face-to-face since your first encounter. 

Fuck you couldn't wait to bask in the magnificence of her; her being in your space, filling her lungs with the very same air you breathe. 

You are in trouble if these thoughts are an indication of anything. 

Quickly typing out your reply, you suggest a few possible dates and times for your cupcake date, hoping that one of them will work for both of you. Positively beaming, eyes glimmering with youthful mirth, you finally set down your phone and turn on your sock-clad heels to head back toward your vanity. You make it halfway before you remember what day it is.

The bakery is closed. 

You could see Ellie today. 

Then, you’re slipping against the hardwood, trying to get back to the bed as quick as possible. You finally get your footing after sliding around and almost ending up on your ass, practically flying toward your bed and divebombing onto the soft mattress. Your phone bounces with the impact as you scramble to get to your knees and grab it from mid-air. Somehow, you end up on your back with your phone smashed onto your nose. 

Ouch. That's definitely going to leave a mark.

You grab your phone, scrubbing a hand at your sore nose. After the shock of the hit has left, you regain your urgentness, unlocking your phone, bringing up the messages app, and clicking on your and Ellie’s chat. 

Your fingers move at what seems like the speed of light as you type out a new message: 

so, um, funny thing... i was thinking, and why wait for your cupcakes when you could have them today? how about you swing by the bakery this afternoon?

Thinking for a second, you quickly send a second text:

we can even bake them together! how does that sound?

Nausea creeps up on you as you wait, heart racing and dry eyes staring at your messages to Ellie for several minutes without a text bubble. 

Finally, after what feels like an eternity, a bubble appears on the screen, only to disappear just as quickly. This pattern repeats a few times, leaving you on edge.

But then, finally, Ellie's response lights up your screen:

i'm so down for a baking session at the bakery. what time should i be there? 

A wave of relief washes over you as you read Ellie's enthusiastic reply—though you are confused as to why it took her so long to come up with this response. With a wide grin, you quickly type back the details, feeling excitement building in the pit of your stomach. 

Finally having that done, you put your phone back on the bed—hopefully for the last time for a while. Then, you finally sit back down at your vanity, ready to finish your makeup for the day. When you look in the mirror, your smile falters and your mouth hangs open in disbelief. 

There is a long, thick black line running across your cheek. 

“Fuck.” 

***

You’re just setting up everything you need for red velvet cupcakes when you hear the front doorbell ring. Your head snaps up so fast you’re surprised you don’t break your neck. However, any pain is worth seeing Ellie walk into your bakery looking so damn fine. 

The olive-skinned girl is wearing a pair of blue jeans that fit her ass nicely, a grey t-shirt, and a burnt-red flannel that looks well-loved with tearing seams and fading colors. Her shoulder-length auburn hair is pulled into a half-up, half-down look, with some stray hairs framing her face. Your hands itch to push them behind her ears, even standing at the distance you are. 

Shaking yourself out of your reverie, you set the pan you had in your hands onto the counter with a clatter, causing Ellie to start. Making your way towards the front of the store where Ellie stands with hands in her pockets, you call out her name.  

"Ellie!" You greet her with a wide grin, unable to contain your excitement at seeing her—even if it was planned just short of an hour ago. 

“Ah, uh… Hey!” the freckled girl stutters out. “I… it’s good to see you?” 

“Was that a question?” you ask, hiding your smile behind your hand. 

“Uh, no?” Ellie says before realizing that she phrased her response as a question, too. “I mean, no. No, it wasn’t a question. I, um, I am excited to see you.” 

You can't help but find Ellie's nervousness adorable as she stumbles over her words. Suppressing a giggle, you offer her a reassuring smile, eyes crinkling on the edges. "Well, I'm excited to see you too," you reply warmly, noting the faint blush creeping up on her cheeks.

As Ellie's gaze drifts somewhere behind you and she nervously swipes her hand over her nose, you realize just how nervous she must be feeling. Wanting to ease her discomfort, you gently reach out and place a hand on her arm—holy shit, you didn’t realize she was strong, but you can feel her muscles under her flannel. "Hey, it's okay. No need to be nervous," you say softly, trying to ignore your thoughts about what she could do with that strength. "We're just here to have fun and bake some delicious cupcakes together."

Ellie’s green eyes finally meet yours again, though a crease forms between her eyebrows as she does. “I just, ah… you’re, like, stupidly pretty. And, you know, it’s really distracting.” Ellie's cheeks flush a deeper shade of red as she confesses, her final words coming out in a rush.

Your heart skips a beat at Ellie's unexpected compliment, and a warm flush of pleasure spreads through you. "Wow, thank you," you reply. "You're not so bad yourself, you know."

Ellie’s eyes widen in surprise at your compliment, her right hand coming back up to shuffle across her nose. “Ah, thank you?” 

Giggling at her utter lack of words or charm, you grab her hand as it falls from in front of her face. “C’mon! We have so much to do. I’m so excited to teach you how to bake!” you say in a high-pitched voice, obviously excited. 

Pulling her by the—fucking giant—hand to the back of the bakery where you do all the… well, baking, you continue, “I’m almost done setting up everything for us. There are a few ingredients I have to pull out since I wasn’t gonna be using them, but it shouldn’t be too long until we can start.” 

“I—oh,” Ellie lets out a strangled breath as she is suddenly dragged by you into the back room. “That’s okay. I’m just, uh, really excited for the cupcakes.” 

As you lead Ellie towards the back of the bakery, you can't help but chuckle at her adorable awkwardness. "Don't worry, I promise it'll be fun," you reassure her, looking behind you with a warm smile. "And don't worry about being nervous. Baking is all about having a good time and enjoying the process."

Ellie nods once, her cheeks still flushed with embarrassment. "Yeah, I'm sure it'll be great," she says, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

Reaching the back room, you release Ellie's hand and gesture towards the kitchen area. "Here we are," you say, motioning for her to take a seat on one of the chairs you pulled back here from the dining room. "Make yourself comfortable while I grab the rest of the ingredients."

As you rummage through the cabinets and pull out the remaining ingredients needed for the cupcakes, you can't help but feel a surge of excitement at the thought of teaching Ellie how to bake. Getting to spend any time with the adorably awkward, puppy-like freckle-faced girl was a blessing, but getting to do your favorite thing with her? It’s a dream come true. 

Returning to the counter with an armful of ingredients, you grin at Ellie. "Alright, let's get started," you say eagerly. “First up, we have to… turn on the oven,” you stumble in the middle of your sentence as you get lost looking at Ellie’s tanned face, trying to memorize the placement of her paint-splattered freckles so that you could imagine her going do—that isn’t what today is about.

Ellie nods once, standing to her feet. “Sounds easy enough.” 

As Ellie stands up, hands on her knees to help her get up, you can't help but admire the way her eyes sparkle with a mixture of excitement and nervousness as she looks at you. Holy shit, she’s looking at you. "Great!" you exclaim, shaking off your momentary distraction—for the hundredth time—and focusing on the task at hand. "Let's get this show on the road."

Together, you and the freckle-faced girl move towards the oven, your hands brushing against each other as you reach for the knob. Heat crawling up your neck and over the apples of your cheeks, you quickly move your hand and turn the knob to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, the soft hum of the oven heating up filling the air.

Still hot in the face, you turn toward Ellie, "Okay, next step, cupcake pans," you say, gesturing toward the neatly lined trays on the counter. With Ellie by your side, arms brushing, you grab the pans and place them on the counter, ready to put the liners in. 

As you work, you steal glances at Ellie, admiring her focused expression as she carefully places each cupcake liner in its designated spot like it’s some kind of science experiment that could go wrong. Her tongue slightly sticking out of her plump lips in concentration is definitely cuter than it should be. 

What you weren’t ready for was to have the auburn-haired girl turn her head and look at you as you distractedly stared at her, unable to shake the image of her soft, freckled cheeks, long, slender fingers, and strong arms from your mind. 

Caught off guard by Ellie's piercing green gaze, you feel your heart skip a beat as you quickly avert your eyes. Clearing your throat, you focus on the task at hand, determined to maintain composure.

"Um, so, uh, yeah," you stammer, trying to regain your train of thought. "Looks like we're all set with the cupcake pans." You can practically feel the heat radiating from your cheeks as you turn back to the task, hoping to distract yourself from the intensity of Ellie's gaze.

With a shaky hand, you reach for the extra cupcake liners, trying to steady your nerves as you carefully place them back in a stack, ready for you to put away later. 

When you're done—and your hands aren’t shaking anymore—you finally drag your gaze back to Ellie. Your breath catches in your throat as you realize she is still looking at you. Her green gaze—what you can only describe as a moss-covered forest bathed in warm, sparkling sunlight—feels like taking a knife to the heart, her head tilt—so dog-like—a sucker punch to the gut. You want her eyes on you forever—to bask in the warmth of her eyes and bathe in the depths of her soul—you realize as your heart tries to beat out of your chest. 

Somehow, you find it within yourself to tear your eyes away from Ellie’s; it’s one of the hardest things you’ve ever done, and you run a bakery by yourself. Clearing your throat and staring at the prepped pans, you say, “Ah, um, we can start making the batter now, I guess.” 

Ellie doesn’t hold in her laugh at your obvious discomfort, her melodic laughter filling the room with a warmth that soothes your frayed nerves. Despite the embarrassment of being caught in a moment of vulnerability, you can't help but feel a sense of relief wash over you at the sound of her laughter.

"Yeah, let's get started on that batter," Ellie says, her voice laced with amusement as she reaches for the ingredients on the counter. “What do we start with, pretty girl?”

“I–uh, holy shit…”

The freckled girl laughs even harder at your stunned expression, mouth hanging open and eyebrows raised. “Close your mouth, or you’ll catch flies,” she says, lips quirked up as she nudges your chin with her hand. 

Her hand on you gets your mind racing in all different directions before you remember where you are. Snapping your gaping mouth shut, teeth clacking together, you gather yourself. “Uh yeah… we have to, ah… start with the dry ingredients.” 

Ellie hums a “Mhmm” out, mouth still curved in a cocky smile as she tilts her head again—her stupidly pretty auburn hair catching the midday light filtering in from the window—leaning her hip against the counter. 

“We have to shift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda together into… this large bowl.” you point at every ingredient when you name them, picking up the stainless steel bowl when you find it.

“Sounds easy enough.” 

This time, it’s you who hums an answer as you put the bowl down and grab the ingredients to start measuring. “If I measure, would you shift, Ellie?” 

“Yes, ma’am.” she gives you a little salute. 

So, as you hand over every measured dry ingredient, Ellie shifts it into the bowl. Her tongue makes another appearance as she focuses on getting every ingredient into the bowl with no spillage, causing you to overfill the ¼ teaspoon of baking soda. You quickly get the right amount into the teaspoon and clean up your mess, wiping your hands on your apron. 

“Okay, now that’s done, we have to add the salt and whisk everything together.” 

Ellie reaches for the salt, adding it to the bowl as you grab the whisk. She slides the bowl over to you, watching intently as you whisk. It’s one of the most mundane, boring parts of the baking process, yet she looks so entranced by the whisk circling the bowl, mixing the ingredients together. 

Once everything is thoroughly mixed, you tap the whisk on the bowl and set it aside, putting your hands on your hips and turning towards the girl leaning casually on your counter. “Can I trust you with a knife?” 

“Wh–I–Yes!” She splutters, eyebrows raised. 

Giggling quietly to yourself, hand over your mouth, you shake your head. Dropping your hand, you say, “Sorry, I just had to ask. I need you to cut the butter if you could, please.”

“How could I say no to those puppy dog eyes, hmm?” 

This time, it’s you who splutters, caught off guard. Instead of deigning the tease with a response, you turn your back to Ellie, hiding your burning face and grabbing the stand mixer you equipped with a paddle attachment. When that’s set up, and you can feel the burning embarrassment leave your face, you turn to Ellie, who is wielding a knife, cutting the room-temperature butter into uneven pieces. 

“Babe, it’s gotta be more uniform than that.”

Ellie’s head snaps up, eyebrows furrowed, pupils blown wide, and knife almost cutting into her fingers. “Wh–what did you just call me?”

Caught in a moment of panic, you freeze, your heart pounding in your chest as you try to come up with a plausible explanation. The air feels thick with tension, every second stretching out into an eternity as you search for the right words to say. You hadn’t even realized you said it; it came so naturally, calling the auburn-haired girl babe. “I… nothing, nothing at all,” you spit out quickly, eyes going wide. 

“Nah-uh, you called me ‘babe.’” A loud clattering sound makes you startle, your eyes moving from Ellie’s piercing greens to the knife that just hit the countertop. 

"I… I didn't mean to," you stammer, your voice barely above a whisper. "It just… slipped out."

Ellie's gaze remains fixed on you, you can feel it like a weight on your skin, pinning you in place as you struggle to regain your composure.

“Look at me,” she demands. You follow her directions immediately, your gaze taking in her expression. She looked almost dazed with a quizzical brow as she scratched her head.

"I'm sorry," you continue, your words tumbling out in a rush. "It was just a slip of the tongue. I didn't mean anything by it, I swear."

For a moment, the silence hangs heavy between you, broken only by the sound of your own rapid breathing. And then, without warning, Ellie's features soften, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips.

"It's okay," she says softly, her voice like a soothing balm to your frayed nerves. 

As Ellie's soft smile spreads across her face, her pearly whites making an appearance, a sense of relief washes over you like a warm embrace. Your shoulders drop from where they had taken a place beside your ears, and tension leaks out of you like butter in a baking croissant. The weight that had been pressing down on you lifted away like a heavy fog dispersing in the morning sun.

"Thanks," you murmur, gratitude lacing your words as you meet Ellie's gaze once more. Her eyes hold a warmth that makes your heart flutter, a silent reassurance that everything is okay between you.

With a playful glint in her eye, Ellie leans closer, her voice a soft whisper falling from her plump lips that sends shivers down your spine. "You know," she says, her tone teasing, "I don't mind being called babe."

Your heart skips a beat at her words.

A soft chuckle escapes your lips as you lean in, unable to resist the magnetic pull of Ellie's presence. "Good to know," you reply, a smile tugging at the corners of your lips. "I'll try to remember that for next time."

As the last of the tension melts away like butter as it’s baked into the delicious treats you make, you and Ellie dive into the joyful task of baking red velvet cupcakes together. With each step of the recipe, you find yourselves falling into a comfortable rhythm, working seamlessly together as if you've been doing this for years.

The scent of cocoa and vanilla fills the air as you and Ellie chat and laugh, exchanging stories and getting to know each other on a deeper level. From childhood memories to dreams for the future, you two open your hearts and minds to each other. 

As the cupcakes bake in the oven, you steal glances at Ellie, admiring the way her eyes light up when she talks about her passions and the infectious laughter that bubbles up from within her. 

And when the cupcakes are finally cooled and ready, their red tops gleaming with perfection, you and Ellie decorate the cupcakes with swirls of cream cheese frosting and a sprinkle of red velvet crumbs together, playfully bumping shoulders and laughing at Ellie’s attempts at decorating. 

As you sit down to enjoy the fruits of your labor, savoring each bite of the moist, decadent cupcakes, you realize that this is just the beginning of a beautiful friendship—and perhaps something more.

“And that bright star near the horizon is the arm of The Archer,” Legolas declared, leaning so close to Gimli that their cheeks practically touched, extending his elegant hand toward the night sky. Gimli nodded absently, not quite keeping up with the elf’s eager explanation of the constellations, instead finding himself distracted by the proximity of his companion.

For optimal star viewing, the pair had stolen away from the fire where the fellowship had gathered for the evening and discovered a more secluded place to set up. Gimli had made himself cozy atop a rock, and Legolas was perched on his knees beside him, bringing them eye to eye with one another. The dwarf smiled fondly as Legolas gushed on about the various constellations, shifting slightly as a warm sensation churned through his belly. Gimli was well aware of his crush on the Mirkwood Prince—he’d been smitten ever since the Council of Elrond—but he’d never had the chance to enjoy the finer details of the elf from such a close distance. He could feel his heartbeat begin to pick up as his eyes wandered freely over Legolas’s body. Gimli had never before noticed the sheen of his golden hair, the way it seemed to glow even in the dark of night. He’d never admired the definition of Legolas’s collarbone, which protruded ever so slightly from the deep neckline of his evening shirt. He hadn’t been given the chance to discover the pink hue of the elven lips, which looked particularly enticing bathed in the ethereal light of—

“Master Dwarf, are you listening to me?” Gimli jerked backward in surprise, blushing fiercely.

“My apologies, I s-seemed to have lost my focus,” he sputtered, painfully aware that his companion had most definitely noticed his staring. They gazed at each other wide-eyed and shy, uncertain of what would come next. The seconds stretched on into eternity. Legolas’s ears flushed a deep scarlet, and he took a shaky breath before uttering his next words so softly that Gimli had to strain to hear them.

“Do you like what you see?” The dwarf’s eyebrows shot up as a swooping sensation passed through him. Was the elf flirting with him? Gimli swallowed, summoning all the charisma and charm he could muster.

“There are many beautiful stars in the night sky tonight, but none more fair than you, my prince.” The blonde let out a surprised giggle, threading his fingers through his hair as he digested the implication of Gimli’s words. He parted his lips to speak, then closed them again, searching for the proper response. His eyes softened, and he leaned towards Gimli as though he were about to confess a secret.

“You make my heart thunder within my chest,” he whispered, his mouth near enough to the dwarf to send shivers down his spine. Unable to stop himself, Gimli’s focus shifted once again to the alluring pink lips that smiled so sweetly at him. Legolas watched him, eyes flicking between meeting his gaze and the dwarven mouth. Ever so slowly, they leaned in. When they were just a hair's width apart, Legolas froze and tensed, squeezing his eyes shut.

“I must confess that I have never done this before,” he murmured so close to him that Gimli could taste his breath. “Will you teach me?”

Gimli's breath hitched at the elf's words, his heart pounding. Slowly, he raised a calloused hand to cup the side of the elf's face, his thumb gently brushing against the soft skin. Legolas leaned into the touch, his eyes fluttering open to meet Gimli's gaze, filled with a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty.

"There's nothing to it, lad," Gimli whispered, his voice rough but tender. "Just follow your heart, and let it guide you."

With that, he closed the distance between them, their lips meeting in a tentative, gentle kiss. Legolas responded hesitantly at first, but as the moments passed, he grew bolder, his lips moving against Gimli's with increasing confidence. The warmth of the elf's mouth, the softness of his lips, it was everything Gimli had imagined and more. The stars above seemed to shine brighter, the night air filled with an electric charge as they lost themselves in each other.

Legolas’s lips were like the softest velvet, tasting faintly of the sweet wine they had shared earlier. Gimli felt a rush of sensations he had never experienced before, a thrilling mix of nervous excitement and profound tenderness. The elf’s hands, delicate yet strong, found their way to the broad dwarven shoulders, pulling him closer as if afraid to let go. Gimli’s fingers threaded through the silky strands of Legolas’s hair, marveling at it’s smoothness. Time stood still as they melted into each other.

When they finally pulled apart, both were breathless, their foreheads resting together as they shared a quiet moment of intimacy. Gimli could see the stars reflected in Legolas's eyes, and for the first time, he understood the elf's fascination with them. They were a beautiful, warm, and infinite, just like the bond that was beginning to grow between them.

I can request? So... Lee Giyuu and Ler Tanjiro and Urokidaki? Pliss

Sure! This might be set after the final battle, so there might be some sad scenes-...

Lers: Tanjiro Kamado and Sakonji Urokodaki

Lee: Giyuu Tomioka

'Hey! It's Tomioka-San! Oooh and Urokodaki-San is here too! Let's go Nezuko!', they both ran, shouting their names to get their attention, and they succeeded as Giyuu pointed at them both as they ran towards them.

Nezuko hugged Urokodaki, it was not surprising that she missed him, since he took care of her and her brother, while Tanjiro approached Tomioka. 'Tomioka-San! You cut your hair!'

'Yes, I did... Well... It would have been a bit complicated to comb and tie my hair with one arm, so I decided to cut it... Hehehe', he smiled.

Tanjiro and Nezuko were happy, they both took their elders to their room, Inosuke and Zenitsu weren't there, so they decided to talk a little in there.

'Ummm...Tanjiro, you've been staring at me for the last 7 minutes, is there something wrong?', Tanjiro denied. 'Maybe he's trying to get used to seeing you with shorter hair. Or maybe he's admiring your natural beauty Giyuu...'

Tanjiro was about to nod, it was both reasons but he stopped when Giyuu responded. 'Urokodaki-San... I appreciate the compliment but... I don't think I have a natural beauty...'

'Nonsense, you have always been a very tender and cheerful child, I have no doubt about that,' Giyuu again denied and looked to other side

Urokodaki sighed, it was not the first time that Giyuu put himself down, he thought that the haircut meant the beginning of a change, but apparently he was wrong.

'Well then, it looks like I need to apply my old methods...', Giyuu looked at him and started to giggle as he looked at Tanjiro. 'Ehehehe... Look at the time, I think visiting hours are over...'

'Of course not! Come on Giyuu-San! Come here!'

Tanjiro got up and sat Giyuu on his bed, there was no need to make as much effort as before, was there a possibility that that would be what Giyuu wanted? His red cheeks and nervous smile while watching them both move their fingers were what gave them the answer, it was so cute!

'Giyuu-San! We're not doing anything and you're already laughing hahahaha!'

'I know how! Sohohorry!', covered his blushing face with his haori.

'He's always been like this, he's unable to control it, I'm surprised that for a long time he managed to hide his emotion, and so you say you don't have something attractive, Giyuu?'

Giyuu shook his head, he didn't know which was worse, the anticipation or the "teasing" of his sensei and his friend. Tanjiro touched under his ribs and laughed when Giyuu squealed. 'If yohohohou aharehehe gohohoing to ehehehehe do it, do it ahahahahat ahahahahaha once! Buhuhut dohohon't tehahasehehe mehehe!'

'No ​​one is doing it, but if that's what you want...', Urokodaki began to pet Giyuu's neck, as if he were a puppy.

Giyuu didn't even try to shrug his shoulders or wrinkle his neck, what he tried was to keep his neck raised.

His efforts increased when Tanjiro began to use one of his fingers to run up and down his ribs, he didn't press too hard or too gently, but it was enough to make the raven-haired man laugh.

'Okahahahay! Plehasehehe! I ahahaha chahahangehehed my mhmhmh mihihind! Tahahanjiro! Urohokodahaki-Sahahan!'

'We will stop if you admit that you have a unique beauty', Giyuu tried to protest but he couldn't do it, he was "trapped".

Although he didn't seem to want that to stop anytime soon either, he was simply enjoying the situation and they both realized it.

'Awwww Giyuu-San! I thought you didn't like tickles but you are enjoying this! And don't try to deny it!'

'I dohohohon't! Yohohou knohohow ihihihit!'

'He's just a little shy... Well Giyuu? Are you ready to admit it?'

Again, Giyuu shook his head, but this time, Urokodaki knew the reason. He motioned for Tanjiro to stop and he agreed.

Giyuu gasped and looked at both of them, he knew it was a trick, but he still fell for it. 'W-why did they stop...?'

'Why do you think?', Giyuu's face turned completely red and he covered it, leaning back while pouting.

"I never asked you to stop..." was the last thing Giyuu mentioned before laughing again, maybe they should change their condition or maybe not...?

Mrs. Afton’s Daily Life: TWO

Warnings: Unedited

Free Accounting Classes at the local Community College. 

(Mondays and Thursdays)

9:00 a.m - 1:00 p.m

Class starts September 05, 1979 and ends May 10, 1980

ALL OUR WELCOME

You stare at one of the flyers near the checkout lane of the grocery. E/C eyes glance at the calendar placed in front of the checkout lane. The date displayed in big bold red letters is “August 25, 1979”. 

‘It hasn’t started yet…’ you think to yourself hopefully, biting on your bottom lip. 

After dropping off both your sons at school, you stopped by the grocery store to buy the food for the week. 

Being the big man that he was, William often ate more than the rest of your tiny family. It wasn’t his fault but food often finished quickly and trips to the grocery were frequent. Not to mention, you also had to feed three growing children that were going to eat more as they grew older. As you both waited in line, you were playing with your little baby.

Dangling your car and house keys in front of her face as she watched, mesmerized by the shiny object. She would grab onto them and you’d have to stop the sweet girl from putting them in her mouth. 

Then you saw the flyer. All your attention zeroed in on its contents. 

Your children’s school didn’t start till 8:30 am and you usually picked them up around 2:30 pm. On Fridays they would get out at 12:30 pm. If you scheduled your time right, you could still do your duties as a housewife and mother. It all just depended on great planning. 

Your teeth dig into your plump lip, anticipation rolling off of you in waves. 

After dropping them off, you could probably drop Elizabeth off with the sweet old lady a couple blocks down the street. Then you’d be gone in the accounting class. Back in college you were interested in majoring in anything business-related but were unable to explore more because of your expulsion. 

Elizabeth looks at you curiously, wondering why her mom stopped paying her attention. 

One of her chubby hands curls itself around your manicured fingers. The tight baby grip, snapping you away from a hopeful dream. William wouldn’t approve of it and taking care of two children and a baby would definitely make being a student difficult. And you nearly spent a decade outside of any colleges, surely adjusting back into the student rhythm would be difficult. 

‘Difficult but not impossible,’ an encouraging voice says in the back of your head. 

“Honey, would you like a bag with that?” The middle aged woman asks you behind the counter. Her kind eyes noticed how you glanced at the college advertisement. 

“Are you considering joining?” She smiles at you kindly, your cheeks flush in embarrassment at being caught. 

“O-oh. I don’t know…it definitely seems advantageous plus it’s free..”

Her honey brown eyes glint in excitement,  

“You definitely should! I’m one of the assistant teachers by the way. Despite being free, the material being taught is the same as any other colleges. The professor is a very kind man that is excellent in teaching. There are also many other free classes available that haven’t started yet, if you’re interested!” The blonde woman’s grin widens as unwillingly the corners of your mouth start to lift. 

“There is..?” You say with awe, e/c eyes sparkling. Chuckling at your amazed expressions, she hands you a flier. 

“Yup! If you’d like I can help you sign up. My name’s Donna by the way.” She offers you a handshake. You accept her hand feeling the soft wrinkly skin of her hand. 

“Y/N. Y/N Afton.” 

Her eyebrows raise to her forehead, “say you wouldn’t be related to that grumpy man William Afton? One of the co-owners at Freddy’s?”

Embarrassed you shake your head, it seems William's unpleasant character was commonly known. 

“I wouldn’t say we're related. He’s my husband.” 

Like the woman from the school her eyes flash with pity before they brighten up again. 

“Oh~? Well isn't he a lucky fella?” You giggle at her praise, feeling bashful of being praised by an older woman.  

She then turns her attention to Elizabeth with a coo, “and who might you be?~”

The baby babbles at her, big e/c eyes zeroed in on the red nail polish of her long nails, making grabby hands at it. 

“This is Elizabeth. She’s only a year old but she’s quite active for her age.” You say playing with one of the bows in her hair.

“Aww~! I remember when my Susie was that age. I wish they stayed that small forever instead of growing up quickly. Now my little girl is starting kindergarten!” 

Smiling at the woman you let out a carefree laugh, “you and me both!”

Both you and Donna exchange numbers, she talks to you more about the accounting class and her daughter as she packs your groceries. When she’s finished you both settle on meeting up soon at the community college so that she can help you sign up. 

By the time you leave the store, you’re smiling so hard that your cheeks hurt. 

Elizabeth, also influenced by your good behavior, claps her small hands at you. Grinning at her, you lean in to press a big fat kiss on her cheek that makes her squeal. 

While you pack the groceries by the truck of your car, you make sure to hide the flier in your purse. Taking extra measures to fold it into a small square and burying it at the bottom of your bag.

Once satisfied, you buckle in Elizabeth and drive back home. Singing along to Abba, “Dancing Queen,” while Elizabeth continued to clap her hands at her mothers singing. 

For the first time in almost a decade, you felt more alive. As if that once ambitious eighteen-year-old girl with big plans for her life never died the day you were expelled. She was always there, waiting for you to get back on track.

Grover, Thalia and Percy take Annabeth to the Hover Dam post last Olympian

It goes as well as you’d think

Annabeth hated her friends.

Okay that was probably false. She adored Grover and Thalia and had been head over heels in love with Percy Jackson since she was twelve, but in this moment there was nothing she wanted more than to strangle all three of them. Not a completely alien feeling she would admit but usually it was contained to the two boys with Thalia being there to share in her suffering. This time however, Thalia was right there with the boys, her face — normally with the slight glow and otherness of immortality — turning a dark red as she giggled helplessly into Percy’s shaking shoulder.

It had started well enough. A promise the three of them had apparently made while on the road to find her after she was taken captive and had been unable to follow through on until the constant fighting had wound down. A trip to one of Annabeth favorite architectural marvels in the United States that she had unfortunately missed the last time their quests dragged them through the area. But while Annabeth had been planning what to do after she had bored Percy and Grover to tears with her endless supply of trivia and facts on the dam she hadn’t anticipated… this.

Grover bleated out another laugh, gripping his stomach as he looked up to Thalia and Percy who were leaning on each other through their giggles.

“Show me the dam snack bar.”

Percy nearly screeched a laugh leaning so heavily back on Thalia that the two of them nearly tumbled. Thalia who had never been the most tactile person with anyone other than Annabeth and Luke even before she became a hunter clung to Percy as she laughed so hard she was silent but for occasional gasps of air.

Her friends had lost their minds. There was no other reason for it. She was going to have to explain to Poseidon, Zeus, Artemis and perhaps worst of all Juniper and Sally Jackson that the three of them had just snapped. Not to mention people were staring at them, judgmental looks and disappointed head shakes as they grumbled about “kids these days”. Drawing this much attention was practically begging for the four of them to be jumped by monsters, particularly when two children of the big three were so incapacitated by their laughter that they could barely stay in their feet much less swing a weapon.

“What is your guy’s problem?” Annabeth hissed between her teeth, eyes narrowed.

She could probably get away with kicking Percy’s leg out from under him and a light shove to Grover, sending all three of them to the floor without catching the attention of any concerned citizens who would call the cops. Maybe then they would all stop giggling like children.

Thalia gasped something that might have been Annabeth’s name, or perhaps was a plea for oxygen. Grover was bent double, not even able to look at her as he bleated another laugh. And Percy…

Percy looked at her with mirth shining in his eyes and tears streaming down his red cheeks.

He had never looked more handsome than he did right now. The picture of joyful youth. All wild hair and bright laughter. The kind of thing that made her fingers itch to be able to draw up more than building my plans.

He smiled at her with devotion in his face, worship, like she was the goddess and not her mother. (Or knowing Percy like she was better than a goddess.) it was almost enough to make her ignore his words.

“I’m sorry Annabeth,” He gasped out between laughs. “We have a dam problem.”

It turned out she didn’t have to push any of them over, all three of them fell in a tangle of graceless limbs and shrieks of laughter.

She hated them.

She hung her head in defeat and huffed out a Fon laugh of her own.

--

Dream’s phone screen lit up from where it laid flat on his nightstand, catching his eye as he turned away from the mini fridge he’d walked across the room to grab a bottle of water from. He twisted the lid off the bottle, picking up the phone as he took a sip, seeing that the notification had been a text from Sapnap.

hey

are you super crazy busy rn

Dream smiled, always endeared by Sapnap’s word choice, taking another sip before putting the bottle down and typing out a response.

not rly

i put all the video stuff in files but it’s too late to start editing so i’m just gonna do it tomorrow

why?

Dream sat down on the edge of his bed, placing his phone on the pillow beside him and twisting to his left, then to his right, stretching his back. He watched a new text come in, followed by more typing bubbles.

i just had a really dumb stressful meeting and i’m fucking frustrated

not like mad i just feel like i have so much pent up energy

and i really wanna come tickle you

Dream felt his stomach flip as he read the words, cold water bottle resting against his thigh and sending a chill up his spine. His thumb hovered over the keyboard, and he blinked in disbelief at his phone screen as he read the message over and over again. After almost a full minute, he formed a response.

……what

Very eloquent, if you ask him.

i want to tickle you

you should let me

Dream felt his stomach flip again, warmth spreading through his chest and nerves settling in his throat. He swallowed harshly, taking in a breath and drinking more of his water as he quickly tapped out another text.

why???

to get the energy out

???????

Dream stared at his phone, in complete disbelief and confusion at the words before him. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest, unable to tell if it was from fear, anticipation, excitement, or embarrassment. He chuckled to himself, nerves sending electric shocks through his veins, making the tips of his fingers tingle as he shook the feeling out. He watched those three bubbles pop up again, and he pushed himself back further on his bed to sit cross-legged as a response came in.

cmoooonnnn

you know you love it

i do not!

shut up!!

don’t lie

i’m sure you’re loving this too

i’m sure you’re already getting goosebumps

sapnap

and you can feel the excitement already running through you

sapnap.

and the nerves too huh

oh i’m sure you already have those nervous giggles don’t you aww :((

sapnap!

Dream took in a deep breath, looking up at the ceiling above him and exhaling slowly. His chest felt tight, and he shook out his tingling hands before pressing his knuckles against his cheeks to check their temperature– to his dismay, they were already burning hot, though he could feel that before he even touched them. A surge of warmth quickly spread through his whole body, the tingles in his hands growing stronger with the quickly forming butterflies in his stomach.

yes cutie?

stop it

please

but i don’t wanna :(

Dream couldn’t help but chuckle at the response, always entertained by Sapnap’s form of teasing, biting his lip to stop more giggles from falling, a soft whine escaping instead.

you can’t just

god sap

you can’t do that

but it’s so funnnn to mess with you

and you’re so cute :((

shut UP oh my god

so can i please come tickle you??

pleeeease :(

Dream would be lying if he said he didn’t hesitate.

He scoffed, squirming where he sat, uncrossing his legs just to cross them the other way, rubbing his palm over his knee and pressing his fingertips into the material of his pajama pants. His toes curled underneath him, and he switched between sitting straight up and leaning over to look down at his phone screen.

no!!

shut up no you cannot

fuck off

dreamie :(

wait

i know how to convince you :)

Dream watched in fear as the three bubbles disappeared, waiting approximately three seconds in stunned silence before he realized what that implied.

what

what are you doing

what does that mean what are you gonna do

sap please

whatever it is just

don’t do it

“Fuck…” He whispered to himself when he received no response, looking around anxiously, his entire body tense as he waited to hear the tell-tale sounds of footsteps approaching his bedroom door. He waited, and waited… and waited…

But they never came.

He glanced down at his phone, just as a new message came in.

A voice memo. It was a voice memo.

He was fucked.

no

i’m not listening to that

yes you are

sapnap.

play it <3

Dream whined again, breaking off into a groan as he shook his head and rubbed his palms against his thighs. He took in another breath, falling into the nervous giggles that Sapnap predicted so accurately, dropping his head into his hands and peeking through his fingers as he shakily pressed play. He squeezed his eyes shut, covering his face with his hand, lowering his phone volume and holding the speaker up close to his ear so he could hear.

“Alright, handsome, here’s how this is gonna work,” Sapnap’s voice played through the audio, nonchalant as he spoke, but his tone was still stern and matter of fact.

“Oh, god,” Dream groaned, curling in on himself more, biting his lip as he pulled his knees up to hide his face there instead.

“I’m gonna send you this, and then I’m gonna head up to your room, and by the time I get up there, I can promise you’ll be begging me to tickle you.”

“Oh my god…” Dream said with a gasp, covering his mouth with his hand, his entire body buzzing with anticipation, curling his toes against the sheets below him once more. His phone went silent, after a small chuckle from Sapnap came through, and he turned it around to see that the audio had ended. His hands shook as he went to type out another response, his fingers unsure of their own words.

this is stupid

i hate you

leave me alone

Just as he sent those, another voice memo came through, slightly longer this time. Dream whimpered, a pout spreading across his face against his own will, shaking his head and looking up at the ceiling above him. He could feel the tingling sensation spreading further through his body, through his chest and arms and legs, making it nearly impossible to bite his lip hard enough to hold in his giggles. He covered his face with his hands and threw his head back, trying to regulate his breathing enough to calm his nerves down.

Needless to say, it didn’t work very well.

no more

please

you can’t do this

listen to it dreamie

it’s okay

Dream groaned again, assuming the same hiding position as he hit play on the new voice memo.

“I’m sure you’re already feeling those ghost tickles too,” Sapnap teased through the audio, and Dream gasped and shook his head at how well Sapnap knew how he felt, curls swaying against his forehead. “I’m sure they’re swirling all around your tummy right now, that’s where they always get you most, huh?”

“St–“ Dream stuttered to himself, turning his head away from his phone as if Sapnap was already in the room with him, teasing him in person instead.

“Now, like I said before, I’m gonna come to your room, and– y’know what? I’ll actually be nice, because I really do just wanna wind down and get all cozy and giggly with you, and I know you love that stuff too–“

“Fuck,” Dream whispered as Sapnap spoke, feeling the warmth spread through his chest and across his face once again, the fluttery feeling in his tummy growing even stronger.

He had to admit, it did sound nice after all this.

“–so I won’t even make you ask… I am gonna tease you to no end still, though, but you knew that already,” Sapnap said with a small giggle, and Dream couldn’t help but giggle as well. “Anyway, hope you’re prepared, because by the time you’re done listening to this I’m probably already on my way.”

“Wh–!” Dream yelped, whipping his phone around to see the audio end, and he stared at his bedroom door for a few seconds in fear. He scoffed in fake offense, rolling his eyes and typing out a message.

you’re ridiculous

you know that, right?

Instead of a response, the top Dream’s phone screen lit up with Sapnap’s contact information, the photo of Sapnap and Patches he had set as his photo staring back at him.

Sapnap was calling him now.

He let it ring for a few seconds, tapping the banner to bring the call full screen, before hitting accept and slowly raising the phone to his ear.

“…Hello?” Dream began, voice quiet and nervous.

“Hey, sweetheart!” Sapnap said, voice overly chipper and enthusiastic. Dream swallowed against the lump in his throat when he heard a door close on the other end of the call. “How are you feeling?”

“Sapnap…” Dream mumbled, anxiously twirling the drawstring of his pajama pants around his pointer finger, looking off to the side to try to compose himself.

“What’s wrong, Dreamie?” Sapnap asked softly, as if he was speaking to a scared animal, and Dream would be lying if he said the tone didn’t help him relax, at least a tiny bit.

“You know…”

“Awww, honey,” Sapnap cooed, making Dream groan and cover his face with his free hand. “Are you nervous?”

“Mhm…” Dream nodded, even though no one was there to see it.

“Aw, Dream,” Sapnap cooed more, and Dream could practically hear the pout on his face, making him groan again. “It’ll be okay, you know I’ll be nice to you, right?”

“I do, but still,” Dream explained, switching his focus to picking at a thread on his comforter that had suddenly become the most interesting thing in the world.

“Yeah, I know, you’re just wound up, huh?”

“Mhm,” Dream replied without thinking, making Sapnap chuckle on the other end.

“It’s okay, Dream. You don’t have to wait much longer.

“Wh…” Dream began, looking up at his door as he heard the long awaited footsteps growing closer and closer. “Why– why do you say that?”

“Take a wild guess,” Sapnap replied, and before Dream had the chance to entertain the idea, there was a knock at his bedroom door, making him gasp and squeal and the pit in his stomach feel like it had dropped ten stories. He couldn’t hold in his giggles anymore, gripping his phone tighter as the door opened and Sapnap walked in, a thrilled smile on his face as he continued laughing along with Dream. “There’s my baby boy.”

“Noho, go away!” Dream shook his head, placing one hand over his stomach as he felt the ghost tickles running rampant over his skin. He watched as Sapnap smiled sweetly at him, ending their call and placing his phone in his pocket.

“Alright,” He began. “Let’s get started.”

Looming over your shoulder, he stood silently, patiently, waiting for you to notice him as you focused on your work. As you watched the monitor switch off your eyes were still trained to the dark screen, and you could see him standing there behind you in the dark reflection.

“Eddie!”

Spinning round in your chair you leaned up, throwing your arms around his neck and bringing him down to you, planting a huge, pouting kiss to his cheek.

“I’m all done here, you wanna do something with me?”

“Always, my precious little thing.”

Edward tapped the tip of your nose softly with his cane, placing it to the side and pulling a chair over beside you.

“I hope I didn’t interrupt anything important.”

“Never! I’m all finished. And I’d rather be spending time with you, dummy.”

He offered a sincere, bashful smile, letting his hand fall to your thigh, fingers teasing at the hem of your skirt as he shifted it out of the way, allowing his fingers the gratitude of contact with your soft skin. As you giggled at the touch, his eyes focused on yours, completely attentive to you as he walked his fingers further up your thigh before tracing them back down again.

“You are such a tease, Eddie Bear.”

He grimaced at the nickname, but fell to his knees in front of you anyway.

“Do you see this? For you, even with the ever-so-sickeningly-sweet nicknames and ‘positive vibes’ I am still willing to worship at your feet.”

“Gosh! Eddie, you’re going to make me blush!”

“I’ll do a lot more than that if you’ll let me?”

Letting his palms slide under your skirt, he kept staring up at you until his fingers were hooked into either side of your panties, tugging at them and pulling them down, slipping them off and tossing them to the side. You leant your head back with a soft inhale, a moan on the exhale as you breathed his name.

“Oh, Eddie…”

“Even the way you speak is so sweet.”

He rested his cheek on your thigh, forearms lifting the fabric of your skirt, offering him a slight glimpse of what lay between your legs.

“Your voice, lilting like a song.”

The cooing, low tones of his sweet words tingled over your skin, your hips bucking in search of friction as he spoke.

“Your body, dancing to its own tune.”

“Eddie… please…”

“Patience, my little doll.”

“Oh… you’re not… hng… playing very… fair, mister!”

“Oh, but my dear, you knew I wasn’t a fair man when you met me. And yet, I received adoring email after adoring email.”

He kissed up your thigh, his voice dulled by the shelter of the fabric as he reached closer to you, stopping just short of your swollen lips, his breath warm against your skin.

“Lewd messages, those adorable pictures of you in your cute little outfits, and without them.”

“Mhm…”

“The way you sounded when you called me, when you talked to me while I worked.”

“God… Eddie…”

“And how you were just as wonderfully soft, and spectacularly kind, in person as you were when there was a distance between us.”

With his finger stroking down your lips, your slick coating his fingers as he separated your lips slightly, you were unable to even form words. The anticipation killing you.

“But that’s what drew me to you. The yin to my yang. The blooming flower in my little patch of weeds. Kindness. Which I needed more than anything.”

The devotion, the adoration, that tinted each word with a romantic, pink hue in your mind was enough to have you moaning already, before he had even begun to taste you.

Upside down Kiss

This was a really fun chapter to write hehehhe. Mainly bc I loveeee getting to write Ladrien kisses <3. Lemme know what you think of this chapter :)

AO3

Ladybug hovered with the use of her yo-yo by the window outside Adrien’s room, her heart racing with the anticipation of seeing him. It had become a comforting routine, checking in on him after patrol. She peeked inside and saw Adrien sprawled on the couch, eyes glued to the TV. His blond hair fell into his eyes, making him look even more endearing.

Knocking gently on the glass window, she caught his attention. Adrien looked up, his face lighting up with a smile that made her heart flutter. He quickly got up and opened the door, the warmth of his room inviting her in.

"Ladybug! What a surprise," he greeted, stepping aside to let her enter.

"Hey, Adrien," she replied, trying to keep her voice steady and casual. She didn’t want to seem too eager after all. "I was just passing by and thought I'd check in on you. How are you?"

Adrien sighed, a small frown appearing on his face. "I'm okay, just a bit tired."

Ladybug’s heart ached for him. She knew how demanding his life was, balancing school, modeling, and a million other hobbies his father forced him into. "Do you want to talk about it?"

He shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Not really. But I’m glad you’re here. Want to join me? I’m watching Spider-Man."

Her eyes lit up. "Sure, I’d love to."

They settled on the couch, a comfortable silence enveloping them as they watched the movie. Ladybug’s attention drifted between the screen and Adrien, her heart swelling with affection every time he laughed or gasped at the action scenes.

As the iconic upside-down kiss scene played, Adrien sighed wistfully. "I wish I could be kissed like that," he murmured, almost to himself.

Ladybug’s heart skipped a beat, her cheeks burning. She fidgeted with her fingers unable to stop images of them doing the trademark kiss from flooding her mind. It’d be so easy. And so good.  

“D-do...,” she coughed, clearing her throat as her cheeks burned even brighter. “D-do you?”

His head jerked over to her and even his own cheeks looked red. Why did he have to look so cute all of the time?

Adrien tore a hand through his hair, avoiding her gaze as he suddenly looked shy. “D-doesn’t everyone? I-I mean... don’t you?”

Ladybug was struck speechless and finally, she was met with a pair of wide, panicked eyes as he waved his hands out reassuringly. “I-I mean not that you have to... I-I didn’t mean to imply.”

“No, it’s alright Adrien.” She giggled, shaking her head. She grabbed his hands in hers, squeezing them in hers. “I-I do want to have a kiss like that too. L-like you said, everyone wants to try it, right?”

“R-right.” He gave her a shaky nod before turning to stare steadfastly back at the movie. Ladybug did the same, feeling dizzy as she sucked in a deep breath of fresh air.

Then, very softly, over the movie, she heard in a voice barely above a whisper, “Do you… do you want to try?"

Her eyes widened as a deep red flush spread across her cheeks. Adrien wanted... to try the kiss... with her? Was she dreaming? Because, if she was, she prayed she would never wake up. "You mean...?"

He nodded, causing Ladybug’s heart to pound loudly in her chest. "It... it may be silly, but… I want to try. I-If it’s alright with you, of course. If... if not, j-just pretend I never said anything."

She swallowed hard but nodded. "Okay," she said, her voice soft and filled with anticipation.

Taking a deep breath, Ladybug quickly stood up before she could panic and leave. She wanted to do this! Standing herself up on the back of the couch, she threw her yoyo to the ceiling, securing it firmly, and then hung upside down, her face inches from Adrien's. His green eyes were wide with surprise, but he didn’t move.

For a moment, they just looked at each other, both of them blushing furiously. Then, slowly, Adrien leaned in, his eyes never leaving hers. The world seemed to slow as their lips met, a gentle brush that sent sparks through her entire being.

Hanging upside down, Ladybug felt an exhilarating mix of emotions. The kiss was sweet and tender, yet filled with a passion that made her heart race. She could feel Adrien's hands trembling slightly as he cupped her face, deepening the kiss.

When they finally pulled apart, both of them were breathless. Ladybug’s cheeks burned, and she could see the blush spreading across Adrien’s face as well.

"Wow," Adrien murmured, his eyes still closed. "That was… incredible."

Ladybug smiled, righting herself and retracting her yoyo. "I’m glad you liked it. I-I thought so too."

His gaze met hers, and there was a newfound intensity in his eyes. "Ladybug, I…"

Adrien's voice trailed off as he stared into her eyes, the words seemingly caught in his throat. Ladybug felt her heart pound louder, each beat echoing the rush of emotions coursing through her.

"Yes?" she prompted gently, hoping to encourage him.

Adrien took a deep breath, his eyes never leaving hers. "I-I... I've had feelings for you for a long time. Seeing you tonight, being with you like this, it just made everything clearer. I... I love you, Ladybug."

Ladybug's breath caught in her throat. The world seemed to spin around her, and she felt like she was floating. Adrien, the boy she had admired and cared for deeply, was confessing his love to her. She took a step closer to him, her heart full to bursting.

"Adrien, I... I love you too," she said, her voice trembling with emotion. "I've loved you for so long. I was just scared to tell you."

His face lit up with a radiant smile, one that made Ladybug's heart soar. He took her hands in his, squeezing them gently. "You have no idea how happy that makes me."

They stood there, basking in the glow of their mutual confession, the movie forgotten in the background. Ladybug felt an overwhelming sense of relief and joy. All the moments of doubt and fear melted away, replaced by a warmth that filled her entire being.

"Can we stay like this for a while?" Adrien asked softly, his eyes full of affection.

"Of course," Ladybug replied, her smile matching his. "I'd like that."

They settled back on the couch, this time closer than before. Adrien wrapped an arm around her, and Ladybug rested her head on his shoulder. The movie continued to play, but they were more focused on each other, whispering sweet words and sharing shy glances.

As the night wore on, they talked about everything and nothing, their hearts open and unguarded. Ladybug felt a sense of contentment she had never known before. Being with Adrien, knowing he felt the same way about her, made everything else fade into the background.

Eventually, as the moon slowly rose in the sky, she realized that she had to get back home soon. Ladybug sighed, reluctant to leave this perfect moment. Adrien noticed her hesitation and squeezed her hand reassuringly.

"You have to go, don't you?" he asked a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Yeah," Ladybug replied, her own voice tinged with regret. "But I'll be back. I promise."

Adrien nodded, his smile still warm and reassuring. "I'll be waiting."

With one last, lingering kiss, Ladybug stood up and made her way to the balcony. She glanced back at Adrien, her heart swelling with love and hope. "Goodnight, Adrien."

"Goodnight, Ladybug," he replied, his eyes shining with emotion.

With a final wave, Ladybug leaped off the balcony and into the night, her heart soaring higher than ever before. As she swung through the city, she couldn't help but touch her lips, still tingling from the kiss. Tonight had been a turning point, a moment she would cherish forever.

She knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, she and Adrien would face them together. And that thought filled her with a sense of peace and happiness that she had never known before.

𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐃𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐀 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 . . . DAZAI X MC

► "Shuji, don't tell me you didn't know! Java finches are meant to be housed with a companion bird! Bunta must be awfully lonely on his own…"

• rating: G • wordcount: 700 • masterlist • Written for mine and @voltage-vixen’s ‘Tis The Season For Love challenge PROMPT: Surprising their partner in the morning with a new pet underneath the Christmas tree

"You know, MC…" Dazai says in his calm tone, despite being made to practically run down the halls, hand clasped tightly by MC as she leads the way. "I would've appreciated my Christmas morning starting with cuddles in bed."

"I want to give you your gift now! The cuddles can wait!"

Dazai hums, taking a mental note to remind her of her promise later. He also now takes notice of the way MC seemed a little cool to the touch when he attempted to pull her into his embrace earlier, as if she hasn't been under the warm covers up until a few minutes ago… Whatever the cause, Dazai gives himself to the anticipation of receiving her Christmas gift, and quietly waits to see what the hustle is about.

The mansion's big Christmas tree is shining its brightest this morning, and luckily they're first here and can enjoy this moment uninterrupted. There a lot of boxes wrapped in colorful paper under the tree, but the one MC stops and crouches down in front of, is not a box at all. Dazai follows suit, then watches MC take off the veil, uncovering a cage beneath. And in the cage…

"Oh, my." Dazai's chartreuse yellow eyes widen to show their pretty color, even if he's not aware of MC savoring the sight that very second. "Hello there, little buddy. You look just like Bunta."

MC giggles meekly, nervous about his reaction, even if he seems pleasantly surprised by what was presented to him. She clears her throat and hurries to add something very important that is going to end up sounding like a scolding, but rightfully so.

"Shuji, don't tell me you didn't know! Java finches are meant to be housed with a companion bird! Bunta must be awfully lonely on his own…"

Much like MC, even in the seriousness of their talk, Dazai can't take his eyes off the cage and the little finch hopping inside and greeting them with its melodic chirping.

"Let's introduce them to each other, then."

***

The pair watches with interest as Bunta shares his water dish with his new female friend to bath into. Either because the water drops are flying to all directions beyond the metal bars of the aviary, or because he wants to give the birds some space without staring at them up close, Dazai walks to the window. But to MC, it feels like he wants to talk, so she follows there.

"Soo," She starts, giving Dazai a hug, meaning for it to be short and sweet, but giving in the way Dazai rests his arms comfortably on her sides, reluctant to let her go. "Did you like your gift?"

"I did." He smiles widely at her, eyes closing in apparent content. There is something melancholic in his smile the very second he picks up his speech again.

"Thank you for bringing him a friend. Some birds truly cannot survive without a companion, but I think it's the same for some humans, as well."

Still in his embrace, MC gazes somewhere beyond the window pane, at nothing in particular. Now, what would've happened if she didn't come in Dazai's life, given that as much of a strange bird he is, he could as well be one of those who are unable to survive without their other half? She doesn't want to think about it, nor is the time suitable for such gloomy talk. Gazing away from the window and noticing that Dazai never took off his little smile, she just leans in and kisses it off from him. Their kiss begins gentle, as if it's her way of saying 'I understand', yet finishes off playful, with a lip bite from one and giggle from the other. Now that's better.

"Oh, Bunta is singing a song I haven't heard before…"

MC giggles, turning in Dazai's arms so that they're both throwing a secret look at the couple. She's familiarized herself with the usual chirping of Bunta, so it's easy to note that the new clicking-like sounds he produces might be his way of courting the new female bird.

"I think we're going to be hearing that a lot from now on."

Blueberry Muffins - Chapter Two

Alone Together

Word Count: 2970

Skeppy wasn't going to watch all the streams right now, but he did want to be looped in on all the memes that were on Twitter. The two were on their stomachs horizontally on the bed watching a highlights video a fan had made on Skeppy's phone. Bad could hardly stop giggling at the side glances Skeppy was throwing him throughout.

"What boy did you kiss!", Skeppy demanded playfully.

"What boy did YOU kiss?", Bad challenges back. Skeppy's jaw dropped.

"What!".

"In that video you did with Tommy playing BedWars! He asked if you ever kissed a boy and you said 'perhaps'!", Bad raising his voice several octaves as he mimicked Skeppy, sitting up crosslegged now, way too smug. Skeppy scoffed, sitting up to match him.

"I'll tell if you tell.", he decided on.

"Okay, then you go first!".

"No you!".

Their arguing reflected perfectly into real life it seems. Though, things were a lot touchier than both anticipated. They were both just so excited to be close. It seemed spending the night together wrapped up in each others arms broke the ice. No walls could be found between them.

     Their yelling escalated slightly as Skeppy decided to throw in some curses to get on Bad's nerves and it quickly evolved into a tickle fight.

"Fuck off!".

"Hey! Language!", Bad hollered, shaky on top of Skeppy as he fought off his hands. Both were nearly collapsing from the giggling, grabbing at each others sides. Skeppy rolled on top.

     Without Quackity there they were evenly matched. Skeppy grabbed Bad's sides and shook him by them, bouncing him against the bed as he squeezed. Bad threw his head back and cackled hilariously, his hands flopping uselessly at how weak the move made him feel.

"Yaaa!", Skeppy yelled in victory, only to be grabbed and rolled back under Bad.

"You muffinhead!", Bad said breathlessly, targeting Skeppy's ribs suddenly with quick jabs and squeezes.

     Oh this changed the game.

"Pffft!", Skeppy struggled for a moment before screeching with laughter. He kicked wildly at the bed and focused his hands on defense only. Loud desperate laughter tore out of his throat against his will. Suddenly, he was completely unable to beg or insult. Any attempt left him squeaking between his laughs. Bad stared down at him in wonder and shock.

     'Adorable.', his mind whispered to him. He let the tickle torture go on a little too long as he got caught up watching his best friend crumble to pieces at his touch. A full minute and then some went by as Bad just broke Skeppy down. He screamed and twisted under him. Getting to see Skeppy blush and laugh like this in person has been life changing. 'Oh. Huh?', he questioned his own thoughts. He stopped tickling suddenly in realization; he had spaced out and wasn’t sure how long he had been going for.

     Skeppy gasped out greedily for air, throwing both his arms over his red tear-stained face, whining a little in embarrassment. It took him a bit to be able to form coherent words again.

"That was brutal.", Skeppy giggled weakly, peeking up at him.

"I know I'm sorry! This spot is real bad huh?", Bad forced himself to speak normally. He laid his fingers against Skeppy's rib cage, smiling at the dramatic flinch.

"Yeah I don't know, it just kills so bad there. Do you have a spot like that?", Skeppy grinned cheekily, clearly playing too dramatically at the "innocence" of the question. Bad laughed and rolled his eyes.

"I almost want to tell you for tickling you so badly you cried!".

"Shut up, no I didn't!", Skeppy whined. Though, the little streaks of tears were clearly visible on both his cheeks still. Bad wondered if maybe he was wearing makeup. He smiled softly down at his friend. His poor flustered friend.

"I'm sorry.", Bad hung his head in shame. Skeppy grinned evilly. Years of practice allowing him to weasel the exact reaction out of him he wanted.

Skeppy flipped their positions so he was on top once again. He cracked his knuckles and stretched his arms out, hamming it up for the audience beneath him.

"You're a muffinhead.", Bad informed him.

"Where is it?", Skeppy grinned. Bad groaned.

Neither of them could tell if the other was realizing just how little they have spent outside of this hotel room, and neither would be the first to point it out. All those plans to film content and have fun together in the real world were dwarfed easily by just the excitement of being together alone and in person. At no point since they left Quackity at the airport that morning had the conversation and giggling stopped. At times they were lightheaded from the fun. How is this real? Even now as they had been literaly torturing screams out of each other did either want to make the move to point out their time was limited and they should probably get up and go.

Skeppy had more pressing questions on his mind to be answered.

Bad's most ticklish spot? His thighs.

Does it produce that same hiccup-y screeching laugh he can usually drag out of him while chasing him down in Minecraft? Yes, but much louder.

Does Bad blush? A little.

'Not nearly as bad as I do.', Skeppy thought, annoyed slightly. But, it was a little hard to be annoyed while staring down at Bad's, slightly-blushing, face of anguish.

Skeppy was perched on top of him and leaning in a little as he watched fondly, his hand latched meanly onto what he had worked out to be the worst of the worst spot; directly above Bad's knee. Bad was absolutely beside himself.

Bad's mind swirled. He screeched as he flopped his hands weakly against Skeppy. He had been tickled before and he thinks he might even have been tickled nearly this intensely. But, Skeppy had a knack for knowing how to get under Bad's skin and it translated into their tickle fights clearly. Skeppy flinched as Bad screamed sharply, watching him fall back down into hysterics. Skeppy had switched to his other leg and seemed to know exactly how to move his evil fingers to break Bad apart.

Bad knew he would give it all up under this torture. Every secret. Every feeling. Every language-word Skeppy wanted to hear. His credit card number like on stream that one time.

He cried out dramatically as Skeppy stopped, gasping out for air as he curled into himself. Skeppy cackled at the noise.

"You're so ticklish!!!", he giggled in glee. One to talk, really.

~•~

The fans were seriously freaking out. The two were back on their stomachs side by side reading tweets on Skeppy's phone.

"Wait til they find out we slept together last night.", Skeppy smirked. Bad burst out laughing, turning and shoving his face into Skeppy's shoulder.

"Language!", Bad was muffled, Skeppy shook with giggles.

Skeppy was intrigued with how much harder Bad had to fight to not laugh at his dirty jokes. No mic to mute or lack of facecam to hide his unwanted amusement.

They really had slept together though. And they hadn't spoken about it. Skeppy's comment was the first mention of it in the light of day and the two let it wash over them. It seemed pretty them to be fair. A6d had slept with Skeppy. Well. Not like that. Not like, cuddling.

Skeppy pressed his lips together and willed the blush creeping across his cheeks to disappear before Bad could see.

Bad could see, though.

It made him wonder. Bad found his mind going over the facts he had about his best friend. While he did know a little more than the Internet, he didn't know everything. Skeppy had never come out to Bad as anything. Not straight. Not gay. Not pansexual, like himself. Skeppy was unlabeled for the entire world and also his best friend. Bad chastised himself internally for the rude thought.

It's just. Man he really wanted to know. He doesn't exactly know why. Maybe because he just wanted to know everything. No secrets between best friends. He wanted to know the meaning behind it all. His thoughts. Bad's innocence clouded his ability to progress that line of thinking any further and he re-focused on Twitter.

Skeppy was a little lost in thought, too. Since the second they woke up he had gone back again and again to what it was like waking up in Bad's arms. Now laying so close to the other, his mind decided to remind him of what he’d awoken that morning; the intoxicatingly sweet smell of his best friend and these strange feelings he couldn’t quite find the courage to give names to. Their limbs were tangled together and his face was nuzzled up close in Bad’s neck, and he had never ever been more comfortable.

Both were completely unaware of the other's thoughts, only aware of the energy. A very fun energy. Actually, pretty close to the usual energy. The played up tension and joking about crushes. The dumb innuendos. The usual. It was just way more intense so up close. And they got to see real time the affect it had on each other.

~•~

"He's 23!", Bad announced to the webcam. "So he gets 23 birthday punches!", Bad raised his fist and Skeppy shoved him away, full to the brim with giggles.

"Shut up! You could never hurt me!", Skeppy beamed.

The muffins were finally getting around to making content. They seemed to have made a silent agreement to not address just how long they had been radio-silent. Chat and donations had been begging them for information. The truth was that they had spent nearly the whole day together in bed tickle fighting and looking at fanart. So...they were ignoring that.

••Quackity donated $200! -What have you guys been up to?-••

Oh, that one was gonna be harder to ignore.

All the air left Bad's lungs at once and he started coughing, way too dramatic of a reaction for both the boys comfort level. Nervous laughter racked Skeppy's chest and he slapped Bad's back softly.

"Thank you so much for the donation Quackity! That's crazy! We've really just been sitting around missing you! Please come back!", Skeppy laughed in relief as the chat switched from mostly concern to mostly memes. Bad calmed down, leaning in to read chat.

"It was so fun guys!", Bad laughed.

They started in on a dramatic retelling of how Quackity and Bad surprised Skeppy early. They didn't get very far into the story before Quackity was calling them on discord.

"Hellooooo!", Quackity trilled in his high pitched fake-British accent once they picked up.

"Hellooo!", Skeppy and Bad echoed amusedly, trying out their own versions of the voice.

Quackity's presence boosted the views massively. The three laughed and yelled over each other as they each tried to make each other look dumber in the story. Notably, all three left out the very end of the night.

"I’m going to start editing the video as soon as I g-get...back home.", Bad stuttered a little, a soft pain twisted in his chest at his own words. Skeppy gave his shoulder a soft squeeze, sensing and mirroring the feelings.

"NOOOO!!!! I don't want you guys to separate again!!!!", Quackity wailed loud and dramatically forcing lightness back into the air. The two shook out the sadness and grinned sheepishly. "Their soulmates your honor!!!", Quackity screamed way too loud and Skeppy and Bad cracked up.

"Alex shut up!!", Skeppy laughed, shoving Bad for good measure. The energy around them happy once again. “You are the only streamer in the world who gets closer to his mic when he screams, your fans must hate you!”, Skeppy hollered. The two leaned back into their chairs, in stitches now.

Thank god for Quackity.

~•~

The stream went on another hour. More questions and goofing off. To Skeppy’s horror they ended the stream with a loud and dragged out version of “Happy Birthday” for him. Chat cheered for the birthday boy and wished him happiness and love and muffins. It was sappy, really sappy. And definitely Skeppy’s most profitable stream to date. He almost teared up from all the love. The three said their thank-yous and good-byes to the chat and ended it. Quackity stayed on call with them for a bit longer.

“So what have you guys been doing actually? No audience this time! Maybe it was a little mean for me to ask before?”, both his smile and nervousness evident in his voice over the call. “Sorry.”, he added quickly. Skeppy and Bad smiled at each other.

“Don’t worry! Bad and I had really just spent the majority of the day watching stream highlights and going through Twitter.”, Skeppy spoke first, eyeing Bad.

“Yeah, nothing crazy.”, Bad added. The silence over the line was louder than most of the yelling from earlier. It made Skeppy tense, a little unfamiliar with the awkwardness.

“Uh huh.”, Quackity finally responded. “Well, okay! Anyway! I love you guys! You muffins…you muffinheads!”, he sang, having switched his voice modulator into autotune halfway through the sentence. “Have fun!”, he dragged out and let his voice fly up and down every single pitch before hanging up.

They both smiled and connected eyes at the same time.

“Maybe we should go outside tomorrow?”, Bad offered. They both hummed in thought.

Probably not the same thoughts, though. As the end of the night drew closer and closer Skeppy couldn’t pull his mind away from what the sleeping situation would be. Are they going to cuddle? Can he ask Bad to cuddle with him? Was that a one time thing? Why…wait. Why is he so concerned with this? His mind reeled as he realized how obsessive he was being. Saying all that outloud would have been a hilarious meme. But, those panicked thoughts crowding in his head secretly? What would be the point of that?

“I should shower.”, Skeppy announced suddenly, standing up from his chair in one movement. The quickness made Bad flinch a little.

“Alright!”, he responded and moved to the bed on his own.

In the shower, Skeppy forced himself to stand under the freezing cold water before it warmed up. He wrapped his arms around himself and shivered as the icy water transitioned painfully slow to a comfortable temperature. He wondered if he was punishing himself or doing it to try and cool down his burning hot thoughts. Being a little unaware of his own intentions was new to him. When did a piece of him go rogue? Maybe turning 23 meant the start of him going senile. He smiled softly at his own dumb joke.

Skeppy reached out of the shower and dried his hands, setting up his phone now to play music.

He closed his eyes as the music started, dropping his head back into the water and letting it drench his hair.

Skeppy forced himself to not think about whether or not Bad and him would be cuddling tonight. He tried to relax.

~~“Take me to your best friends house

goin’ round this roundabout, oh yeah.

Take me to your best friends house

I loved you then, and I’ll love you now, oh yeah”~~

He didn’t know if he would be in Bad’s arms again tonight or not, but he scrubbed himself clean and washed his hair…just in case. He stepped out of the shower and stared into the foggy mirror.

“Idiot.”, he quietly informed himself. Why was this happening? What is this? These thoughts?

He shook his head and drew a blueberry muffin in the mirror fog. Well, a muffin. The fruit in it was implied. He brushed his teeth throughly, glaring at himself in annoyance as he came more into view with the mirror clearing up. He flossed. He used mouthwash. He towel-dried his hair. He rubbed a scented moisturizer across his chest and down his legs, rolling his eyes at his own actions.

Now smelling of apples and feeling squeaky clean, he stepped into a fresh pair of boxers, then black sweatpants. He tapped the counter for a few seconds as he considered ditching the shirt entirely tonight. ‘No.’, his thoughts snapped at him. He tugged on a soft grey t-shirt and left the bathroom.

Skeppy smiled fondly as he found his best friend fast asleep on his back, one hand clutching his phone to his chest. Maybe he shouldn’t have worried so much, just look at how unbothered Bad is.

He set an alarm for the morning incase the other had forgotten and climbed into bed. He left a space between them and laid on his side, facing Bad. He studied the sleeping face for only a few seconds before closing his eyes. He let himself just be happy to be in the same space as his best friend.

Skeppy was just starting to drift asleep when he felt his hand get captured. He peeked open his eyes to find Bad had rolled onto his side and faced him. He looked so peaceful. In his sleep Bad had found Skeppy’s hand and now they weren’t cuddling, but were instead laying a bit apart with their hands connected in the middle. Had they held hands before? Their fingers matched together perfectly. Skeppy’s head was fuzzy. He was scared to move an inch. Although cuddling last night was so fun and comfortable this felt…intimate. He was unsure if there was heat crawling across his cheeks or if it was the warmth from the two being so close. It was…everything.

Best birthday ever.

He closed his eyes and let himself drift off to hopefully join Bad where ever his dreams had pulled him off to.
