#piercer!jake

[sparrowofthedawnsworld]

Piercer!Jake thought below the cut (mayhaps this will become something later). I saw this on tiktok and immediately thought of Jake, so-

You hear a male voice call your name from the doorway and immediately look up to acknowledge him. He flashes you a quick smile and motions for you to come closer to him.

He is undeniably beautiful, instantly captivating you with his smile and softer features - though, enhanced in a few places by some facial piercings.

“You’re getting your nose pierced, right?” He asks, glancing down at the paper in his hands and then back up at you.

All you can manage in response is a quick nod, but he seems unfazed. Turning around on his heel, he leads you back to one of the rooms, where everything is already set up just so.

“Okay,” he starts, laying the paper aside and picking up a purple marker. “Sit right up there for me. All I’m gonna do right now is mark your nose, okay?”

You’re lost in the way he’s talking to you. So gentle, yet confident in his words and actions. Probably because he’s done this a thousand times.

“Okay,” you reply, taking a seat up on the table, watching the way he moves about the small space.

“Alright,” His fingers just barely graze your jaw as he tilts your head. “Look straight ahead for me.”

Carefully and skillfully, he touches the felt tip of the marker to the side of your nose, creating the smallest little dot. He pulls back and examines it for a moment, before nodding to himself and stepping back from you.

“Check that out in the mirror for me,” he smiles, gesturing towards the mirror. “If you want to move it, I most definitely can. It is your face, after all,” he chuckles lightly.

You look in the small mirror and take in the placement. Of course, it’s perfect.

“I love it right where it is,” you tell him. very much pleased with the placement.

“Awesome,” he nods with a grin. “Jump back up there then and we’ll get you pierced!”

The nerves start to bubble up in your stomach as you plant yourself back in your previous spot. Not because you’ve never had a piercing done before, but because you’ve never had a piercer so fucking handsome. Ever:

Truly, you’re half convinced he’s not real.

“So,” he chimes, his raspy voice pulling you from your daze. “Do you have any other piercings besides your ears, or is this your first?”

“I have a few,” you answer him, engaging in his small talk, watching him pull a pair of dark blue gloves over his hands. “This is obviously my first facial piercing though. But I have my bellybutton and nipples.”

Although you’ve rather boldly finished your sentence, you can’t help the flash of shock and embarrassment that washes over you, once your brain processes what you just said.

He is notably a little red in the cheeks, as well, but not nearly as flustered as you are.

“Well, this should be a piece of cake for you then, huh?” There’s a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips, fighting to be seen, as he tears open the packages for needle and the jewelry.

“Ready?” He asks, taking the needle in between his fingers and turning towards you.

“As ever,” you smile, trying to act cool in favor of pulling yourself out of the hole you just dug… and fell into.

Tediously, he takes your face in his hands and places the needle over the mark he’d made.

“Aaand…Here we go,” he says, giving you the brief warning before swiftly pushing the needle in.

You cringe, eyes beginning to water, threatening to spill out over your cheeks. Nice, you think to yourself.

Reaching for the little stud, the needle is quickly replaced with the jewelry and some of the pain instantly subsides.

Much to your surprise, just as your eyes open completely, his thumb makes a short pass over your cheek, swiping away a stray tear that had fallen, immediately making you turn a deep shade of red.

“Don’t stress, love,” he grins. “Happens all the time. It’s normal.”

Could you do jake’s reaction to you getting nipple piercing please? x (can be whatever you want <3)

jakexgf getting nipples pierced

a/n:thank you for the request! I decided to add a little smut at the end as well 🤭

jake had been out and about with his friends leaving you in the house to your own devices. that being said an idea popped up into your head.

you’d always wanted to get your nipples pierced,knowing how good jake looked with his. that being said you text jake asking him when he’ll be home to which he replied

jakey<3:i should be getting back within the next hour or so what’s up?

you:oh nothing just wondering😊

jakey<3:right….🤨

jakey<3:i’ll see u when i get home babe

after your exchange you go into your closet finding a tight fitting shirt that shows your nipples poking through the thin fabric.

you change into some of jake’s sweatpants before you get into your car and drive to the nearest piercing shop.

you drive about five minutes until you reach your destination. you get out the car grabbing your purse before entering the shop

you walked up the the piercer at the front desk telling her you wanted to get both of your nipples pierced.

after you had paid you laid down on the table as she stuck the needle through your perky nipple and then through the other.

the pain wasn’t as bad as you had expected,the piercer then put on a silver barbell before getting up and walking towards the front desk where you paid and tipped her.

you grabbed your belongings before heading out to your car to show jake your freshly pierced nipples

hoping he wasn’t around his friends,you sent him a photo of you in your almost skin tight shirt,two barbells seen through the material

you could almost hear the shock through the screen as jake texts you back in an instant

you: *one attachment*

jakey<3:are you shitting me rn

jakey<3:did a guy do it?

jakey<3:i’ll beat his ass

jakey<3:send me another one

you:no baby it was a girl

you: same one i’ve went to for all my piercings

you:and give me one minute i’ll send you another

you laugh at his reaction through the screen,his attitude going from pissed to wanting you to send him another photo

you pull out of the parking lot and into an empty one. you carefully pull up your shirt,trying to not irritate the fresh piercing

you take a photo of your bare breasts and send them to jake

seconds later your phone buzzes and it shows jake calling you.

you quickly pick up the phone and put him on speaker before setting the phone down on the dash

you can hear other cars in the background therefore assuming he’s already in his car headed back home

“i’m so hard right now” he says making you giggle at his bluntness

“are you headed home?” you question as you fix your shirt back over your tits. judging by the acceleration of the gas you tell him “that’s not you’re car is it? you sound like one of those assholes who rev their engine up all the time ” you joke eliciting a chuckle from jake

“what can i say babe,it’s not my fault your tits look that good over the phone,can’t even imagine now good they’ll look in person” he says his hand on the wheel the other attempting to fix the tent in his jeans by adjusting his pants

you pull out the empty driveway deciding to head home yourself so you don’t make jake wait too long “yeah well remember you cant touch them yet we have to wait for them to heal” to which he groans “i know i know, I get it…i can still fuck em’ though right?” he pleas as he turns onto his street

“hmm” you say pretending to think as you drive “i’ll consider it”

jake lets out a fake sigh before informing you he’s almost home,with you doing the same. you tell him bye and that you’ll see him in a minute.

you pull into the driveway,your car right behind his. you park the car grabbing your stuff before heading into the house to be greeted by jake sitting on the couch the large erection still in his pants despite him trying to hide it

he shoots up from the couch,begging you like a child “lemme see lemme see” he begs staring at the metal through the fabric

“geez jake nice to see you too” you say lifting up your shirt “yeah yeah yeah” he mumbles completely enthralled with your breasts. he begins to grope them avoiding your nipple not wanting to cause you any discomfort

“fuck” he mumbles under his breath “these are gonna be the hardest couple months of my life”

“can i fuck em’ please” he begs his voice needier then before.

“fine” you say “can we at least get to the bed first?” to which he nods eagerly,grabbing your hand and guiding you to your bedroom.

he laid you on the bed as he quickly made use of his hands by taking off his jeans,leaving him in his shirt and boxers. he got onto your lap before taking his hard cock out of his boxers.

you held your tits closer together as he slid right in between them. you made sure you could see the piercing in between your fingers. which was evident to jake as he kept alternating his eyes from the piercing to you back to the piercing

“your so hot mama” he moans out as he fucks in between your tits. he places on of his hands on the back of your head for support as he continues his movements

you see the tip of his cock disappearing between them with each thrust of his hips,especially now,his thrusts getting sloppier as he feels close

“gonna cum” he groans out as he begins to slightly grip your hair eliciting a soft moan from you. you could practically feel his cock twitching from between your tits

and just like that he came,all over your chest right above your tits,some of it going in between them as he fucked himself through his orgasm which was the absolute hottest thing to him.

he then pulled himself up and back into his boxers. he gathered up some of his cum onto his finger before putting it up to your mouth to which you open. you begin to lick a stripe up his fingers,slowly sucking on them in the process.

he slides off your sweatpants,which were actually his, and with his free hand he takes his other out of your mouth and slowly slides it into you

“gonna make you feel good now okay baby?”

enhypen’s reaction to your new piercing!!

enhypen hyung!line x gf!reader

warnings: needles, piercings duh, suggestive for jake’s and hoon’s, kissing, ungodly amount of pet names, uhh touching?, mdni

masterlist

heeseung- lip piercing

“okay baby, close your eyes,” you say to his sitting form on the bed whilst peaking from behind his door. you had called him before arriving at the dorm saying you had a surprise for him, and now here you two were.

he closes his eyes and gives a nervous laugh. “should I be scared right now?”

“maybe!” you tease, giggling while you make your way into the room. “okay. now pucker your lips…”

he makes an unsure face but does it anyway, knowing you wouldn’t do anything to hurt him.

you slowly bring your face closer to his and softly kiss his lips. the ring hugging your lip feels cold as it presses between the two of you.

he audibly gasps at the feeling of something that’s not usually there when he kisses you. pulling away, he takes your jaw and pulls you back so he can get a good look at your piercing.

“baby! is this real?!” you weren’t sure how he would react, but he didn’t seem like he disliked it, at least.

running your tongue over it, you giggle, “yes, silly! it’s not a prank.”

"did it hurt, baby doll?" he's instantly concerned as he thoroughly inspects your bottom lip, lightly pressing on it as he does.

"nah, not really," you mumble whilst he curiously brushes over the ring. "do you think it's cool?"

"oh baby, you're the coolest," he tells you with stars in his eyes and a gentle kiss on your lips.

jake-belly button

to put it lightly, jake was probably more excited than you for your piercing appointment. when you first told him you were planning to get your belly button pierced, he almost bounced off the walls with excitement.

"what do you think about me getting my belly pierced?" you ask him randomly one day, just chilling in his room. he instantly perks up at this, looking up from his phone and looking at you excitedly. you swear you could see his tail wagging behind him.

"baby. i would probably come in my pants." you have never seen him this serious about something... ever.

so, this is how you're here at the piercer/tattoo shop. clenching jake's fist in a death grip, as you lie down on the table.

"i feel so vulnerable right now," you say looking up at him, giggling nervously.

"it's okay, i'm here doll." needless to say, he's not very happy that the piercer is a guy and touchin' on his girl's navel (albeit professionally), but he only glares a few times before focusing on you.

“okay deep breath. 1, 2, 3- and you’re done!” the piercer is already expertly securing the jewelry in place when you realize it’s over.

“oh ouchie- you okay baby girl?” you see Jake’s worried face and notice it’s drained of color. he helps you sit up, and your breath hitches at the subtle pain as your torso moves and the sight of the pretty jewelry in the mirror.

“wow, i love it! i didn’t even feel it!” you say excitedly, admiring your new piercing in the mirror.

the grip jake had on your hand slowly loosens, and you look back to see him almost collapsing onto the piercing bench, looking like he just saw a ghost.

“holy shit, babe. you look so hot”- he says faintly, taking a shaky breath, “but i shouldn’t have watched.”

jay-conch

as jay’s girlfriend, of course you had to get the iconic conch piercing. he was actually the one that wanted you to get it first, though. you had immediately agreed because- what a cute couple activity!

“should i be expecting to pass out from the pain?” you ask him in the car as he drives to the location. your hands fiddled with a random straw wrapper, trying to keep yourself from being too nervous.

“stop looking at pain levels on reddit,” he jokingly scolds you. “you’re just gonna freak yourself out, doll.”

“what if i pee myself or like throw up on the piercer??” you knew you wouldn’t actually, but thinking of the worst case scenarios always takes the edge off.

he laughs at you and pats your leg gently. “if you do, i’m getting it on video.”

for the rest of the ride he placates your whines of worry with loud singing to “highway to hell” by ac/dc… quickly, you regret coming.

the piercer turned out to be a really cool-looking 20-something girl who smelled like weed and strawberries (you digged it). safe to say, you were in good hands, and your nerves calmed down as you all joked with each other.

“alright so, it could bleed a little so i’m just gonna put this cloth over your shirt,” she starts getting the equipment ready, “remember deep breaths and 1,2,3!”

it took every bit of two seconds to get the needle through since the cartilage is so thick, and the whole time you’re squeezing the life out of jay’s hand.

“that’s my tough girl! hurts real good right?” and goddamn, it hurt worse than you thought.

“fuck jay, why’d you put me through that,” you joke to him, letting out your breath.

the mirror is handed to you as she finishes putting the back on, and your eyes light up at the new addition. it looks actually so cute.

“yea, hurts like a bitch,” she starts, “you want me to snap a picture for you two?”

you both nod eagerly and thank her for the piercing and the picture of your two ears side-by-side. the matching jewelry was a perfect idea.

“my little mini-me looks so cute,” he coos, kissing your cheek as you both leave the shop.

sunghoon- back dermals

you honestly felt like hot shit getting these piercings and couldn’t wait to show hoon. although, you weren’t the type to boast about things like this, so you decided to nonchalantly soft-launch your new piercings hoping to get a surprised reaction from him.

for your outfit, you landed on low-waisted fold-over leggings and a slightly cropped shirt. this way, you could be comfortable just going to his dorm but also feel confident he would pay extra attention to your figure.

“so i was thinking we could just play smash bros and whoever loses has to make ramen or we could up the stakes”- there’s an audible pause in his explanation as you both walk to his room. he’s catching you by your hips before you’ve even made it through the door.

“wait- what are these?” his thumbs start caressing the skin around the jewels as he inspects your lower back.

“oh, those? i got them the other day,” you giggle, “you like them?”

“baby. you’re so”- he cuts himself off before he embarrasses himself. does he like them? what a fucking question. he’s going to ruin you!

“you don’t like them?” you pretend to pout at him. of course you knew he was actually popping a boner right now.

“if you don’t get in this room right now, i am going to take you right here, in this hallway.” pfft. does he like them. what a stupid question.

ermmm slowly becoming a hyung!line writer sorry:3 lmk if there’s any warnings i missed!!!

Jake's fingers trembled as he reached for the sterilized needle and clamp, his heart thudding in his chest. You were laying on the table, shirt up, exposing your breasts.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked, his voice slightly shaky.

You nodded, biting your lip, "yeah."

He took a deep breath before positioning himself over your right nipple. "Okay, this might sting a bit," he warned, as he pressed the clamp down on the nipple. You winced, feeling a slight pinch. Then, he took the needle and carefully pierced your nipple.

"Okay, that one's done," he said, quickly removing the needle. You let out a shaky breath as you felt a slight sting. He moved to the other side and repeated the process. This time, your heart raced even faster, and you couldn't help but let out a small moan.

"Almost done," he murmured, finishing up the piercing. As he removed the clamp from your left nipple, you felt a warmth spread through your body. You glanced down to see the small, silver barbell in place.

"There you go," he said, a mix of pride and embarrassment in his voice. You sat up, rubbing your sore nipples, "thank you."

He looked away, suddenly self-conscious. "No problem," he mumbled. "Um, do you want to see how it looks in a mirror?"

He asked the question shakily, like he was struggling with something. "You okay?" you questioned, rising from where you were laying down. "mhm, just uh, a little exhausted"

"Oh okay" You nodded, still rubbing your nipples gently. As you stood up and walked over to the mirror, Jake followed behind you. Your reflection stared back at you, the small silver barbell adorning your nipple. It looked both strange and somehow right at the same time. You glanced over at Jake, noticing that he was staring at your chest intently. His cheeks flushed, and he quickly looked away.

"It looks good," he said, his voice still a bit shaky. "Really good."

You smiled shyly, feeling a strange warmth spread through your body. "Thanks!."

You turned to face him, and he met your gaze.. It made your heart race just a little faster.

"Um, do you want to, um…" he stammered, trailing off. "Do you want to go out sometime? To a movie or something?"

Your heart skipped a beat. You hadn't expected that. You opened your mouth to say something, anything, but nothing came out. You closed your eyes for a moment, trying to calm the butterflies in your stomach. When you opened them again, he was looking at you expectantly.

"Yeah," you finally managed to say. "I'd like that."

His face lit up, and he smiled shyly. "Great. How about this weekend? I can, um, take you to a movie theater if you want"

You smiled back, feeling a warmth spread through your chest. "That sounds nice."

As you stood there, the weight of the moment settled between you. It was the first time anyone had ever asked you out on a date, and it just so happened to be Jake. You felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness bubbling up inside you. You couldn't help but wonder what kind of date he had in mind. Would it be something romantic and intimate, or just a casual night out at the movies? The possibilities danced through your mind like fireflies.

"See you later" you winked and left the shop, your mind a whirlwind of possible thoughts.

He sighed with relief that you were gone, but his erection still was there. shit.

Sorry if it seems rushed! I sort of skipped over jake getting hard by accident 🤧

You Look Really Good Like That...

Josh X Danny X Y/N

A blurb within the Iced Chai Universe... The one where Josh and Danny get body modifications.

WC: 800

Warnings: The Iced Chai Universe is 18+ only!, mentions of sex, body modifications.

The three of them got out of the car walking closer and closer to the front door of the tattoo parlor. Josh was rambling, a little anxious about leaving Hazel with his brother for the afternoon.

“I'm just worried about her, that's all!’

Y/N squeezed his hand, trying to reassure him,” I know you are. But, Jake has it covered. It's only for a few hours, they'll be fine!”

Danny held the door open for his partners ushering them inside, he was meeting with his artist today, and getting a new piercing.

After filling out all his necessary paperwork the three of them were brought back to the piercers room.

Danny sat down on the chair, while Y/N and Josh stood with their backs against the wall waiting with him for moral support.

As his piecer grabbed all the tools necessary to complete his piercings he took his shirt off, handing it to one of his loves.

Y/N couldn't help but stare at his chest, imagining the way he was going to look in a few minutes,” You're going to look incredible baby.”

Josh smiled, playing with Danny's cut up tee shirt in his hands,” So fucking hot Danny!”

The piercer lined up the dots on his nipples making sure they were even before sending him off to inspect the placement.

“Perfect! They're going to look amazing! I'm super excited.”

Danny grit his teeth muttering curses each time the needle went through his nipple. Josh's jaw hung slack, his husband looking so fucking fine. He realized he wanted the piercings for himself.

“Um! Do you have time to do mine too?”

Danny's piercer smiled,” Yeah of course!”

Danny looked at Josh,” Really?! You're going to look so good Josh.”

After Danny was done, the piercer set everything up for Josh. They repeated the process except this time Josh audibly said,” Oh fuck!’ each time the needle passed through his nipple.

“God damn! My chest hurts, it really feels like big needles went through them.”

Turning to Daniel,” How are you not complaining?”

Danny chuckles,” Wasn't that bad I guess.”

Y/N tries to stifle her snickering, knowing that Danny often likes the pain in the bedroom so why should getting pierced be any different.

As they filtered out of the piercers room after professing their thanks, they went over to where Danny's tattoo artist was set up. Y/N retrieved a bottle of water from her purse, cracking it open and handing it to Danny.

“Thank you love.” Danny said before taking a few long pulls of the liquid.

“Gotta make sure you stay hydrated since you're torturing your body today.”She giggles, reaching for his water.

“Im fine, I'm fine. S’why I had a big breakfast this morning.”

After a few hours Danny was finally finished, he stood inspecting the new tattoo on his opposite bicep. It was a beautiful smattering of hazelnut tree leaves, buds and nuts following the contours of his arm.

“This looks incredible! Thank you so much!,” he turns to his artist,” I know Hazelnut trees aren't the most beautiful thing, but you made it so lovely. It's perfect for my daughter.”

After Danny gets wrapped up and pays his artists they get back into the car. Her head swimming, thoughts of how incredibly delectable her partners look with their new body modifications. Gently she shifts in her seat, clenching her thighs together attempting to calm herself down.

Danny smirks, his hand coming over to pat her thigh,” You okay love?”

She nods her head agreeing as his fingers massage into her plush muscle,” A little hot and bothered?”

“Yeah…. You both look so hot!”

Josh's face appears over her shoulder and his arms wrap around her and the seat. His hands travel to her chest, thumbs gently rubbing across her nipples,” Pretty baby thinks we look good with these pierced, huh?”

“Josh!” She whined, back subconsciously arching pushing her chest further into his hands,” Do you think we could go home first before we pick her up?”

Danny tsk’d, “ You know Jake said he has plans this evening, we can't be late.”

She huffed, settling back into her seat and crossing her arms making him move his hands. She knew she was pouting, but she couldn't seem to care to stop.

Josh leaned over the seat yet again, placing a kiss to her cheek,” You know… you could always come to the back seat with me love.”

Whipping around to face she exclaimed,” Joshua! I can't believe you!”

“I was just offering if you don't want to wait sweetie.”

She shook her head, laughing in disbelief.

“I can wait until tonight. I want to ogle the both of you anyway.”

coconuts, josh kiszka

four words. pierced nipples, you're welcome

word count : 1.6k +

warnings : smut, pierced nipples, oral f rec, dirty talk, language, clit slapping, hand riding (if that's even a thing?)

minors dni!

While Josh was away on tour, you got drunk and did something really stupid. Nicole had dared you to get your nipples pierced. You never backed out on a dare, so the two of you went into the piercing shop together.

She helped you pick out jewelry, you went for barbells that had butterflies on the end. They sat you in the chair and your piercer, who was named Liz, did an amazing job in piercing them for you.

She told you everything you needed to know to take care of them. 

Flash forward 4 months, Josh comes home. You hadn’t told him what you did, so this would be a surprise to him.

You were glad he wasn't home for most of the time they were healing, they were easier to hide from him. 

You had started a collection of different barbells in your jewelry box. They were all kinds of colors and shapes. You grabbed the purple star ones and cleaned them before going to the airport to pick up your lover. 

Once you were parked and went inside to get him, you were nervous. You hadn't seen him in four months, so you were a little anxious to see him again. 

Obviously, you were going to wait to show him before getting home, but you were thinking of what his reaction would be. 

You saw Danny turn the corner first, waving to you and basically running over towards you. You met him halfway and welcomed him with open arms. 

When you pulled away, everyone was waiting for their hug, everyone except for Josh. You looked around to see where he was, but you couldn't find him anywhere. 

“Bathroom,” you heard from behind you. You turned around and saw Jake, hair cut shorter with his circular sunglasses on.

“You look like one of the Three Blind Mice with those glasses on Jake,” you said and hugged him in the middle of the busy airport. 

Sam was last. He put all his stuff down and pulled you in close to him. You and Josh had been together for quite a while, Sam was your best friend. “Hi, Sammy. I missed you.”

“You didn’t miss me, Mama?”

You immediately let go of Sam and turned at the sound of the voice you had missed dearly. You quickly walked over to him and wrapped your arms around his neck. He held you in his arms and spun you around. You could feel his hand come up to the back of your head and pet your hair. 

You pulled your head away from the crook of his neck and kissed him. 

He pulled away from the kiss and said, “Hey, pretty angel,” and kissed you again. You were finally at peace again with the world, with your lover.

He set you back down onto the ground and you heard Jake say, “Are you two gonna make a baby like right here or? Do we need to evacuate the airport so you guys can get alone time?”

Josh shot him a look and said, “You’re just jealous that I have a girlfriend, Jacob.”

“No fighting. We just got home.” said Danny, the mediator.

You led them to your car that thankfully wasn’t too far away in the parking garage and helped them load everything into your trunk. Gratefully, you drove an SUV, so everything fit in the back. You drove in silence to their homes, dropping them off one by one. 

Danny was last. You got out of the car to help him bring his stuff into his place. He thanked you and hugged you again, “It’s so glad to see you again, Y/N.”

You smiled at him and closed his front door, leaving him to go be with Josh. You got back into the car and started the trek back to the house. 

Once you got home and Josh had all his bags in the house, you led him upstairs to your bedroom. He raised his eyebrows and you told him that you were going to cuddle, strictly cuddle.

You changed out of your uncomfortable jeans and took your bra off, forgetting that he didn't know about your two piercings. 

You left your shirt on and put on a pair of sweat shorts. “Josh! Sit on the bed and close your eyes.” 

“Why? Is something going to jump out at me?”

“Just do it.”

He sat down on the edge of the bed and closed his eyes. He put his hands over his eyes and you stood in between his legs. 

“While you were gone, Nicole and I went out and got really wasted one night. She had dared me to do something that I thought I would never do in my entire life, but I did. I have been waiting to show you in person. I hope you like it.”

“Did you get a tattoo of my name on your ass cheek or something?” 

“No. Should I have done that?” you asked him as you lifted your shirt.

“Can I open my eyes now? I’m getting very impatient.”

You lifted your pink shirt and said, “Yes Handsome, open your eyes.”

He took his hands off his eyes and opened them. He looked at your two barbells in awe, eyes lighting up like the starry sky. 

His hands went straight for them but you pulled away just in time. Pulling your shirt back down, you said,  “No, you can't touch them yet, they're not properly healed all the way.”

He pouted and said, “But I want to touch them. Let me see them. Just a little touch, please Mama?” 

You shook your head and turned away from him, going towards the bathroom. He reached forward and grabbed your waist, pulling you back to him. 

He kept your back to him, resting his head on the top of your butt, wrapping his arms around your waist. He laid back on the bed, pulling you down with him.

He toyed with the waistline of your shorts and seductively whispered in your ear, “Come on, Mama. Let me touch them. I promise I’ll be gentle,” and kissed the shell of your ear. He started kissing the side of your neck slowly, his facial hair tickling you.

You were on the verge of caving, your core growing warm. “I already said you couldn’t touch them.”

“I know, but I just love them so much. I wanna see ‘em again,” he said, in the same voice as before. 

He slowly moved his hands up your belly to the edge of your shirt. He slipped his hand under the hem, sliding one of his hands up to your breasts. He slipped the other hand down your shorts, playing with the elastic of your underwear. 

He moved his hand across your breasts, feeling the warm metal on his skin. He moved his other hand down below the front of your panties, making his way down to your center. 

Once he heard you moan at his first touch of your clit, he was hard. You could feel him pressed up against your ass, harder than a rock. 

“You miss me, Mama?”

You moaned at the feeling of his middle finger rubbing circles on your clit and his hand groping your breasts. 

“I can’t believe you wouldn’t tell me about your pretty nipples, baby” he said as he pulled your shirt over your breasts, keeping it near your neck so he could touch both. 

“Use my hand, Mama.”

You planted your feet on the edge of the bed and started grinding up and down on his hand. He rubbed his hand over you while you were riding his hand, maximum pleasure overtaking your body. 

“I missed these tits. Now I can love on them even more,” he said, squeezing your breast and jiggling it in his hand. 

“I can feel you, Princess. Throbbing and pulsing against my hand. You close, Mama? Gonna cum all over my hand and make a mess all over me?” 

You nodded and rode his hand faster, if that was even possible. He slapped your clit and rubbed you, harder and harder every time. 

He knew you were about to finish, he started to talk in your ear. “Come on, Mama. I know you can do it. Four months without my touch? How’d you survive? I know I didn’t. Fucked my hand every night and imagined it was this pussy right here. I know they heard me, calling out and moaning your name. Did I care? Fuck no.” 

“Josh! Fuck! I- I-!” 

“I know, Baby. I know you're close.”

Your eyes rolled to the back of your head and your mouth fell open. He quickly slid you off of him and rushed to take your shorts off. 

He moved you up on the bed and kneeled on the comforter, “I can’t put my mouth on your nipples, but I can still eat this pussy.” 

He wrapped his arms around your thighs and ate you out like there was no tomorrow. You pushed his head closer to you and he squeezed your thighs. He moaned into you when you gripped onto his hair, his shaven sides lightly tickling the inside of your thighs. 

He looked up at you, his first sight being your nipples, looking right back at him. You couldn't see him, but his eyes rolled back and he moved his hands back up to your breasts. 

He squeezed them in his hands, never faltering at the assault he was doing on your core. 

You both showered and got into bed together. You got in first, facing his side. He got in and said, “Why didn’t you tell me? That would’ve been a great visual for me.”

You heard a voice, not belonging to either you or Josh. “You guys knew I was still down here, right?!”

Josh’s eyes widened as he said, “Oh, we forgot Sam!”

Ignition | Danny Wagner X f!Reader X Jake Kiszka | Part 2

Have you read Part 1?

Warnings: Depression, unrequited feelings, tooth-rotting Danny fluff, Jake angst

Word Count: 6,023

Summary: In the midst of your own misery, Danny Wagner swept in out of the rain and pulled you out of it. So, what should you expect from him? Where do you go from here? Instead of overthinking, you decide instead, to jump on his motorcycle and take a risk.

“Deep breath in, pretty boy,” the piercer warned, holding onto Danny's ear. He was already scrunching his eyes closed, which made you snort. 

“For such a badass, you really act like a baby,” you teased. You felt the throbbing sting of your upper ear where Tiffany had given you your piercing. Already, you loved it, rotating the stud as you looked at it in the mirror. 

“Hey, no touching,” She scolded, narrowing her eyes at you. 

“Sorry,” you apologized, clearing your throat, sidling up to the table where Danny sat. 

“Ready, Randy?” Tiffany asked, her voice deep and throaty, most likely from years of smoking. The entire parlor smelled of cigarettes. It wouldn’t have surprised you had she decided to place a lit cigarette behind her ear, picking up puffs in between piercings. 

“Danny,” He corrected, looking up at you with a sly grin. 

“Whatever you say,” She continued. “Three, Two–” She pierced his ear, and you watched his eyes squeeze shut from the pain. 

“Is it done?” He asked, still cowering from the pain. 

“Yes,” you snorted, looking up at Tiffany who didn’t look amused. 

“Tips are appreciated. Don’t play with your piercings. Let them heal before putting in hoops. Stay away from non-surgical steel, nickel, and other cheap shit.” You reached for your wallet and handed her a tip, smiling and offering a quiet thank you before stepping out of the shop with Danny in tow behind you. 

“I can’t believe you actually did it,” you told him, pushing him by his shoulder. 

“You wanted to be impulsive, so I figured I’d do the same,” He shrugged. “Hurt like a bitch though.”

“Well, that’s because you’re really a wuss,” you teased, looking up at him with glee. Riding on the spike of adrenaline, you continued, watching him as he looked down at you with a wide, curious grin. “I have one more thing I’d like to do while being impulsive.”

He raised an eyebrow. “And what’s that?” He asked.

Stepping forward into him, you wrapped your hands around the zipper of his open leather jacket, and pulled him downward, his clean, masculine scent looping around you like an elixir. He leaned the rest of the way to pull you into the kiss, his arms secured at your waist, then traveling upward to caress your jawline. His lips were like plush velvet; so soft and supple–luxurious, even. In the moment, you had played it up into just being fun, but as you broke the kiss and dropped back to your feet. You ran your tongue over the soft ridge of your lip from the pressure of the kiss against your teeth, pleasantly surprised at how good the kiss was. 

“That was…” Danny said, his hands still hovering in the air around you. 

“Come on,” you said, not giving him time to process. Instead, you took his hand and pulled him back to the bike, not pausing to worry about his boyish, flustered expression while you did it. 

“Where are we going?” He asked, handing you the helmet once again. 

“Anywhere,” You told him. “Just drive.” 

As he drove, your thoughts wandered to Jake, and you wondered if he thought about you in the time you had been radio silent with each other. Then you got angry. You felt your skin ignite from head to toe as you clung to Danny. Fuck him, you thought. He showed you all the signs. He flirted with you. He made sure to look nice every time you hung out. Hell, he’d complimented you often–he’d even held your hand. You felt so confident that he felt the same way about you. His actions over the last few months had empowered you, giving you the courage to risk your friendship for more–and he blew it. No, he blasted that chance into smithereens. You thought about his last text, telling you to take care of yourself, and that he was always there for you. It just made you angry. 

“You’re quiet,” Danny said over his shoulder as he pulled to a stop at a redlight. “Everything okay?” He asked. You thanked God that he couldn’t see your face, as a single angry tear betrayed your composure. 

“I’m fine,” you answered, embarrassing yourself when you unintentionally sniffled the rest of the tears away. He reached a hand back and squeezed your knee firmly, silently reminding you that he was there for you, and that he understood without the need for conversation what was the matter. The late afternoon was beginning to fade into soft featherings of orange, pink, and lavender and you enjoyed the feeling of the wind against your skin. The heat of the afternoon had cooled, changing your mood for the better as Danny continued to drive down the highway. There weren’t many cars on the road, which made for a peaceful ride. You didn’t know if he had a destination in mind, but you didn’t care, either. Something about him made you feel safe. 

“We’re here,” He said after a while, pulling into an empty parking lot. “Lynnwood Way Lookout,” He continued, turning off the bike. The sky was still illuminated above, which allowed you to look out into the trees as the colors you had seen on the highway began to intensify and darken toward the rolling hills of the horizon. 

“Wow, this is incredible,” you turned to Danny as you both took in the sight. His features were relaxed, but his eyes were bright with wonder as snerenity washed over the scenery. 

“Isn’t it?” He asked. “Come on,” He said after a pause. You stepped off of the bike, stretching your legs from the ride. 

“It’s been forever since I’ve been out here,” he admitted, taking off his leather jacket, laying it over the handlebars of the bike. Your eyes fell over his chest as you mentally noted the contour of his muscles through his shirt. “I used to come out here a lot when we first moved to Nashville,” he explained. 

“Do you bring a lot of girls here?” You teased, grinning up at him. 

“No, actually,” he answered, surprising you. “This has always just been my place,” he said, stepping toward the lookout’s edge, placing his hands on his hips as he looked out at the treetops. “I came here all the time when I was feeling my lowest,” he explained. “Which, at one point, was quite a lot.”

“The entire time I’ve known you, you’ve always seemed so happy,” you said, your tone coming out unintentionally speculative. 

“All of us pretend to be happy a time or two, Y/n.” He looked over at you calmly. His curls danced softly in the evening breeze. If you were even half as good of an artist as your heart wanted you to be, you could have painted the picture of him in front of you, his eyes so intense with abundant wisdom and honesty. His gaze roamed over your body and soul, and transfixed you like you’d never experienced before. You couldn’t explain it to yourself, let alone to anyone else. 

“Pretending makes it easier for those around us,” he continued, placing his clasped hands on the concrete barrier as he continued to look out. “So I did it for a while, until I couldn’t anymore.” You nodded with understanding, relating more to him than you were comfortable admitting–yet. 

“I get it,” you said quietly. 

“It was really hard at the beginning, you know? As a band, I mean. We’re still growing, of course. But when we were getting our footing out here as a band, it was rough. It still is. I guess I’ve just gotten better at filtering out the bullshit.” He shrugged lightly, but you could tell that these were heavy emotions that he carried. 

“What exactly were you going through?” you asked, risking being too invasive. 

“Oh you know,” He began almost sarcastically. “I’m not one of the brothers, I’m not conventionally attractive–I drum just like John Bonham, or really, I just suck in general.”

“People are just awful,” you told him, reaching to squeeze his arm fondly. “I’m really sorry, Danny. I didn’t realize it affected you as much as it did.” 

He shrugged again. “No one really does,” he admitted. “It’s because I’ve been hiding it for a while now. The boys know about the hate, and they check on me every now and then when it gets really bad, but I guess I just deal with it on my own for the most part.” 

You stood beside him content in the silence as you thought back on the time you’d known him. Yes, you were friends, but never close enough to have conversations like this. Now that you were here with him, especially after today, you wanted more of him. 

“How are you, Y/n?” He asked, turning to you after a while. “I’ve spent too much time talking about myself,” He chuckled nervously. “I’m sorry.”

“No, no,” you dismissed his worry, pausing for a moment. “I’m okay, I guess. I don’t think I’ll really know how I am until I talk to him again, you know? I feel like I’ve forced myself to be numb. I do miss him, though.”

“You’re not going to reach out to him, though,” he said as a statement, eyeing you with a slight smirk. 

“Nope,” You answered instantly, the ‘p’ in the word popping from between your lips. 

“He’s probably scared to talk to you,” he offered. “He doesn’t want to upset you further. I’d bet that’s why he hasn’t said anything.”

“Would you reach out after you told your bestfriend you didn’t have feelings for them, and then destroyed their heart by stabbing a thousand holes into it?” You asked sarcastically. 

“Wow, that’s very dramatic,” he chuckled, turning to you. “But yes, if it meant enough to me, I’d reach out, even if it was embarrassing. Even if it made me cringe to even think about–because I’d rather risk looking like a jackass than losing my best friend.”

You swallowed, feeling the ache in your throat as anger surged forward. “It’s been almost two weeks, Danny. Two weeks and he hasn’t reached out. Hasn’t called. Shit, he hasn’t even tried to talk to me through you, Sam or Josh.”

“To be honest, Y/n, he hasn’t really spoken to anyone. I only knew about everything because you hadn’t come by and I forced him to tell me at least the bare minimum. Even then, he really didn’t want to talk about it.”

“God, he’s such a pussy.”

“I don’t think that’s the case,” Danny countered. “I think you both are just so stubborn that neither one of you knows how to move forward.”

“It’s just not right for it to be me,” You said, sighing heavily. 

“Why don’t you come to rehearsal tomorrow?” Danny asked, biting his bottom lip. “Let’s grab lunch, and then we can meet at the office,” he suggested. 

“With Jake?” You asked “Danny, you’re crazy.”

“No, with me.” He grinned. “Come have lunch with me. My treat.” The invitation was casual, friendly, and no doubt refreshing. 

“You know what? Sure,” You agreed. “I think I’d like that.”

“Yeah?” He asked. “We rarely get to hang out. Plus, today was surprisingly really fun.”

“Are you surprised that you actually had fun with me, Wagner?” You asked, staring at him intently, mostly to test him. You couldn’t help the grin that was beginning to grow wider and wider as he squirmed in front of you. 

“No, no, you know what I meant– I didn’t–” 

“I was just joking, relax,” you chuckled, reaching for his hand and squeezing it. You watched as his features loosened as he looked down at your clasped hands. You pulled away, clearing your throat. “But yes, I’d love lunch,” you finished with an enthusiastic smile. 

***

The drive back to the record store was quiet and chilly, and, if the cliché hadn’t been established for decades, you really could have used Danny’s jacket for warmth. Wrapping yourself around him did help though, and it took everything in you not to fall asleep as you rested against his back. 

“Hey,” he said once he entered the downtown area. “We’re almost at The Bohemian. I’ll take you to your car.” 

“Thanks,” you told him sleepily, feeling the urgent need to stretch and move your limbs. As he parked beside your car, something tugged at your heart, making you want to stay with him longer. He made you feel safe, his presence like a protective cocoon of sorts that you never expected, but so desperately needed. 

“Today was…really nice,” you told him after stepping off of his bike. 

“It really was,” he agreed with a soft smile. “Are you good to drive home?” He asked, most definitely seeing how sleepy you were. 

“Yeah, I’ll be okay,” you nodded. “Don’t worry.” 

“Will you text me that you got home safe?” He asked. 

“Of course,” you assured him. 

“Okay,” he smiled, turning the bike back on. Watching him on the motorcycle was extremely sexy, and anyone watching would have thought the same thing. “See you tomorrow.” 

“Bye,” You said, waving to him as you lowered yourself into your car. He waited in the parking lot for you to pull out first, and you heard his engine revving as he turned the opposite way onto the street. For the first time since the fall out with Jake, you felt like you could breathe, and though you missed him, Danny had filled you with genuine happiness today. He had literally come out of nowhere, and now, you wanted more of him, but you weren’t ready to admit that to even yourself. Before you stepped out of your car to go inside, you reached for your phone and texted Danny immediately. “I’m home. Thank you for a great day, Danny. I really needed it. I’ll see you tomorrow.” 

Stepping into the house conjured a mixture of feelings. It was messy inside, proof of the slump you had let  yourself slip into. There were dirty dishes piled up, couch pillows  scattered on the floor, and you realized that you had left the TV on the entire time you were gone. You didn’t have the energy to clean up, so you reached for the remote, turned the TV off and walked straight to your bedroom and got into bed. 

“Count on it,” Danny had responded to your latest text with a smiley face. You went to bed with both hope and anxiety. You hoped that you’d mend bridges with Jake before rehearsal, and you were grateful that Danny was there to support you. You let your thoughts roam as you pondered the many different outcomes after you and Jake had finally spoken. 

***

“Good Morning.” Danny texted you the next morning, making you smile. It had been forever since you’d gotten texts like that, and even though you knew it meant nothing serious, just the kind greeting had shifted your mood, starting your day off in good spirits. 

“Good Morning! Where are we meeting for lunch?” You texted back before starting a shower. Stepping in, you imagined washing off all of the misery from the last two weeks and starting fresh. Once you stepped out of the shower, you’d be strong again. You’d know what to say to Jake, and everything would be okay. 

“Well, I figured I’d pick you up (in my car this time), and we’d go to the rehearsal together. Sound like a plan?”

You saw the text, and then the three dots that appeared under it. 

“Of course, you can drive too if you want. No pressure.”

He was so careful. You smiled as you typed out a response. 

“I don’t know,” you texted back. “I might not think you’re as cool or sexy if you pick me up in a regular car. ;)” You imagined the grin he’d have while reading your text. 

Getting dressed, you slipped on a comfortable and cute summer dress that fell to your knees in soft, chiffon frills. The dress was white with blue, printed flowers, and it made you feel pretty and confident when you wore it. You let your hair fall in loose waves over your shoulders, applying light makeup. 

“A vehicle will never determine my sexiness, Y/n. Is that all I am to you? A piece of meat?” He was most definitely flirting, and you definitely wouldn’t turn it down. 

“Oh idk, maybe you’ll have to show me your worthiness instead…” You finished the text with a wink emoji, testing the waters further before slipping your shoes on and grabbing your purse. 

“I’ll be there in ten. You’re heartless!”

He pulled up just on time, rolling his passenger window down, chewing gum with dark shades over his eyes. “Taxi,” He said with a grin. He drove an incredibly beautiful black Corvette coupe that was so glossy, you could see your reflection in it. You’d seen it before when the boys would rehearse or when they’d gather at each others’ houses, but you’d half-forgotten he’d driven a car this beautiful. 

“Holy shit,” you blurted, your eyes widening. 

“Am I sexy now?” He asked, propping his sunglasses on the top of his head, his curls framing his face perfectly. 

“Yes, Danny. You’re a Greek god,” You spoke in a syrupy–sweet tone, playing as if he’d somehow seduced you instantly. “I don’t know how I never saw your incredible beauty before.” You internally cringed, because, though he didn’t know, the second half of your playful statement was true. He chuckled lightly, breaking the joke, patting the seat beside him. 

“Jump in, you tease. Watch your head while you get in. It’s lower than you think.” You watched him for a moment as he chewed on his bubble gum, his bright teeth glinting in the sunlight. oh fuck me, you thought. Why did all four of these men have to be so goddamn attractive? What is wrong with the world? Stepping into the car, you immediately forgot Danny’s warning and slammed your head into the top of the car door on the way down. 

“Fuck,” You spat, your tone filled with pain as you pulled your arms upward, rolling instinctively into yourself to wait until the pain subsided. 

“Oh my God,” he said, turning in his seat, his hands hovering around your head, not exactly sure how to help. “Are you okay?” He asked. In the moment, if you had the focus, you would have made fun of him for it. “Let me see,” He said, his fingers gently lifting your hands away from the area. “How hard does it hurt when I do this?” He asked, pressing his thumb against your skin in different areas. 

“It hurts,” you admitted, squeezing your eyes shut. “But not too bad.”

“That’s a good sign,” he said. “You’re literally hard headed,” he said with a smile. You rolled your eyes, and to your surprise, he leaned forward and placed a kiss on the injury. “For the record, I did tell you to watch out.” 

“Yeah, well I’m not very good at following directions,” you told him, rubbing out the injury as the pain began to subside. 

“You’re gonna be the reason I keep a first aid kit in here,” he said, putting the car in gear as you fastened your seatbelt. You liked the idea of him purchasing and having an item specifically for you, even if it was as stupid as a first aid kit for your clumsiness. Plus, it made you feel good that he wanted you in his car again, that he wanted to spend more time with you. 

“That might not be the worst idea,” you admitted, sitting up in your seat. “So, where are we going to eat?” You asked, changing the topic as he pulled onto the road. 

“Just wait,” He said, offering a knowing grin. “You’re about to fall in love.”

“Already did that. Didn’t turn out too good,” you said sardonically, turning your head and looking at him.

“Hush. It’s you, me and lunch. It’ll be fun,"he responded. “Okay?” He asked. 

“Okay,” You nodded, turning to look out of the window as he drove. 

***

“What do you mean you outran a mountain goat at field day?” You asked Danny, laughing so loudly, it was a surprise you hadn’t been asked to leave the restaurant. 

“It’s true! His name was Billy,” Danny continued, shoveling a forkful of his food into his mouth. 

“Billy? Like Billy Goat?” You asked, snorting through your nose. 

“Hey, I didn’t name it, I just raced it. You decide who the stupider person was.” His eyes were bright with amusement. 

You shook your head with disbelief. “You have to be lying. That can't possibly be true.”

“It is! Mom probably has pictures. Hold on,” He said, wiping his hands and reaching into his pocket, facetiming his mother, Lori. You heard the dial tone beep as he waited for her to pick up. 

“Daniel!” She greeted him. “What’s up, honey?” She asked through the phone. 

“Hey Mom, I’m at lunch with Y/n,” He continued. 

“Jake’s friend!” She said, waving at you on the other side of the screen. It made you cringe when she mentioned Jake. “Hi, sweetie!”

“Hi, Mrs. Wagner.” You offered her a friendly smile. 

“Please, only doctors and bankers call me that. Call me Lori, always!” You nodded, smiling at her. 

“Yes ma’am.” 

“Anyway, Mom. Y/n doesn’t believe me that I raced a mountain goat at school,” he said. 

“Oh he definitely did. Don’t tell me how that was approved, considering what could have happened. Luckily, Daniel had some speed and some height. I have pictures somewhere on my phone or on my computer. I’ll find them soon and send them to you. 

“Thanks for vouching for me, Mom,” Danny thanked her, offering you a wink over the phone camera. “I’ll talk to you later, okay? Tell dad and Josie I said I love them.”

“Will do, baby. Talk to you soon. Bye Y/n!” She said, waving into the phone camera. 

“Bye Mrs–Lori!” You said, cringing at yourself. 

“Bye,” Danny said one more time before hanging up. 

“You’re not lying,” You said, impressed. 

“Nope. Trust me, Frankenmuth isn’t only known for the Christmas shops and kitschy stores. At school,” He continued, taking a sip of his water. “There were days when students got to come to school on their horses.”

“On horses?” You asked. “You’re bullshitting me, Wagner.”

“I swear to God!” He attested, leaning further into the table as he explained. “ =They’d just tie them up to the nearest post or tree, and then go into school. The teachers would actually let them out later to check on them.” 

“That’s incredible,” you chuckled. 

“Rednecks don’t exist only in the south,” He smirked. “Yeehaw!”

“You’re full of surprises,” You told him. “What else do you have up your sleeve, Danny?” You asked, pushing your finished plate away from you. 

“Oh trust me, I am full of surprises. You’ll just have to stay long enough for me to reveal them all to you.” 

You liked that. He had such a vivacious, and lively spirit, and you wished you had experienced it earlier. “You’re pretty cool, Wagner,” you admitted, sitting back in your seat. 

“Eh,” he shrugged. “Only when I’m trying to impress.” You watched as he waved over your server for the check, as if what he said wasn’t flirtatious in the slightest. You felt the heat creeping up your neck. 

“I’m going to the restroom, I’ll be right back,” you told him casually, pulling yourself up from the table. 

Everything was becoming confusing. There was a hole in your life that had yet to be filled, but at the same time, Danny had swept in, just like a late-evening summer rain shower, providing you with a reminder of your worth, just in time for the sun to come back out and sparkle against your wet skin. He made you feel the way children do when they have the opportunity to play in the rain fully clothed, with no concern for their cleanliness. You imagined the picture of a child-sized you, tilting your head back and sticking your tongue out to the sky, catching cool raindrops as they fell. 

Danny made you feel sexy, desirable, and spontaneous–a feeling you hadn’t had in forever. You felt loved and special around Jake, but recently over the last few months, it had turned into intense longing, lust, anxiety, and ultimately heartbreak. They always say never go after your best friend, but they also say the heart wants what it wants. Both clichés had destroyed you in the end. Danny felt like the possibility of a new beginning, a new direction, and perhaps, maybe he was the right choice all along.

 In the short time you had spent together, the connection was instant and effortless, but you weren’t sure if it felt that way because you’d filled Jake’s absence with Danny, instead. You washed your hands, trying your best to wash away those thoughts at the same time. 

“Hey,” you said softly, arriving back at the table. 

“Hey,” He smiled warmly at you. “Thought you’d taken the free meal and ran,” he grinned.

“Not in the slightest,” you told him with a matching smirk. “I would have at least told you in person I wasn’t feeling you. Haven’t quite decided yet, if you’re wondering.” 

“You’re a heartbreaker, aren’t you, Y/n?” 

“There’s nothing but steel in here,” You responded, placing your hand over your heart. 

“Ah,” He nodded. “Lucky for you, I melt even the coldest, hardest hearts. Even those made of steel.”

“Mm,” you nodded, amused. “Ah!” You groaned, pretending to feel pain in your chest. “I’m feeling it!” 

He laughed genuinely, the sound of it vibrating through your body like a bell that had been struck. 

“Come on,” he said with a grin, standing up from the table and reaching his hand out to you. “Let’s go.”

You looked up at his hand for a moment, deciding you’d jump in and take the risks you’d considered earlier. You took his hand in yours and immediately felt the length of his fingers tightening around yours, his large hand fitting in yours perfectly. You squeezed his hand once, and smiled when he looked down at you while walking out of the restaurant. 

“It’s gonna be okay,” Danny told you as you both sat in his car. “I’m here for you.” 

“I feel like I’m gonna puke,” you admitted, feeling your lunch flop in your stomach. 

“Well, take it outside the car,” he grinned, his eyebrows raising sympathetically behind the joke. 

“You won’t be alone. I’ll be with you.” You looked back at him. “Whatever happens, I’ll be there. I promise.” He lifted his pinky into the air for you to take. You smiled, rolling your eyes, lifting your pinky and lacing it with his.

“Okay. I’m ready,” you decided, opening your car door, and stepping out of it. You knew this space well, and you’d attended countless rehearsals, but you were in an entirely different circumstance now. “Did you tell Jake I was coming?” 

“Nope,” Danny admitted, pulling his sunglasses off as he opened the door for you. “It doesn’t matter, though. It shouldn’t bother him, should it?” He asked, reaching for your hand once you were inside. 

“I don’t know,” was all you could think to say. 

“Daniel!” Josh called, padding through the hallway barefoot, a cup with steaming liquid in his left hand. “And Y/n,” he said, his tone deflating the tiniest bit, even though he didn’t mean for it to. “Sorry, I just wasn’t expecting you,” He said, lowering his voice. 

“Yeah, Danny invited me, and it’s been a while since I’ve seen you and Sam, so I thought I’d stop by.” You purposefully omitted Jake’s name, knowing most definitely that Josh knew about everything. He let it slide. “We’re set to start in about fifteen minutes,” Josh said, taking a deep swig of his beverage. 

“Sure about that?” Danny asked. “Strange that you’re the timekeeper is all I’m saying.”

“Kiss it,” Josh said playfully, turning to head toward the rehearsal space. 

Despite the casual play, nervousness coursed through your body, and you weren’t sure if it would subside once you saw Jake. “I’m gonna go grab my sticks and check my kit. You can tag along if you want.” He turned the corner with you, stopping at the threshold of the rehearsal room. 

“No.”  You shook your head, choosing to be brave. “I’m okay. I’ll be okay,” you corrected. “Don’t worry.” You offered him a thin smile. He squeezed your hand one last time and left you. 

As you turned, you faced Jake head on. Sitting on a stool at the far side of the room, he sat, strumming mindlessly on his guitar, but he wasn’t focusing on it. His eyes were set on you, his gaze pointed downward where yours and Danny’s hands had been intertwined. You swallowed. He wore dark sunglasses, his shirt characteristically left unbuttoned, and he’d worn his two-toned jeans, just as you knew he would. You nodded at him in a gentle greeting, and he did the same, reaching to push up his sunglasses. You strode further into the room, walking the dreaded distance between you and him, feeling your heart pound faster and faster as you moved closer. 

“Hi,” he said, finally, silently holding down frets as he pretended to practice his fingerings. He didn’t practice, so you knew he was nervous, too. 

“Hey,” you answered coolly. 

“It’s good to see you,” he said, putting his guitar on its stand beside him. You didn’t say anything initially, choosing to cross your arms across your chest. 

“Yeah, Danny invited me, so,” You offered, turning over your shoulder to look at Danny who glanced up at you with a protector’s gaze. “I thought I’d come by.” 

He nodded, as if trying to understand the pairing. “How have you been?” He asked, playing with his bracelets. 

You took a deep breath, frustrated with his small talk responses, especially given the circumstances. “Honestly Jake, I’m not very good. But you wouldn’t know that, seems as you couldn’t bother to pick up the phone and call me, or even come see me,” You gathered the courage to say, forcing yourself to make eye contact with him. 

“I- I don’t know what to say,” Jake said, rubbing his chin. “I didn’t want to hurt you even more than I already had.”

“And you destroyed me by not trying at all.” You watched as his features fell slack, and though it killed you to see him that way, you stood your ground, because you meant what you said. 

“I couldn't be that person for you,” Jake responded almost defensively. “Not when you felt–you know– that way about me.”

“You couldn’t be my best friend?” You said, feeling tears prickling at your eyes. 

He was silent for a long moment, averting eye contact. You watched as he swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbing with emotion. “Wow,” he said, nodding slowly, the corners of his mouth curving upward just slightly. 

“Jake. I love you. I fucking hate that I love you. But you fucked me up. You fucked me up in ways that I can’t even begin to explain. Not because you didn’t have feelings back, but because you completely abandoned me when I needed you most.” 

“I get it,” He said slowly. “I’m sorry I hurt you, Y/n. I wish I had acted differently, okay? I didn’t know what to do, and I know I can’t take it back,” He continued, choosing his words very carefully. 

“You’re right. You really can’t, can you?” You acknowledged him. 

“Y/n, please,” he pleaded. “I’m trying to apologize.” 

“Words mean nothing to me now, Jake. Your actions already showed me how you feel,” you shrugged. “And I’m starting to believe this was all one-sided this entire time.” 

“Don’t say that. Please don’t ever say that again. It’s not true.” 

“You know what, Jake? I’m realizing that I’m too angry to make up with you today,” you admitted, taking in a deep breath and stepping back from him. “I’m tired of always having to be openly vulnerable and getting nothing back in return. I’m fucking exhausted. Talk to me when your pity fest is over.” With that, you turned on your heel and marched away, determined to move on, regardless of if that meant you were going to lose your best friend in the process.

It didn’t go in the slightest how you’d expected it would, but at the same time, you stepped away with your pride and dignity intact, and that was enough. 

You watched quietly as the rest of rehearsal dragged on, the boys working through different setlist configurations, and practicing the different transitions between songs, including Jake’s guitar solos. As you sat, you’d regretted accepting Danny’s offer to come to rehearsal. All you wanted to do was run away, but since you were already here, and you had come with Danny, you were stuck. At the same time, you didn’t want to leave without Danny. The only things that helped you power through the rehearsal were the glances that he stole as he played, winking when he locked eyes with you. 

Every time he looked at you, you felt a spark of excitement and curiosity, wondering what he was thinking, and if he had felt the same tug that urged you to stay with him, and to spend time with him. You watched Jake play, twisting and writhing with his guitar in hand, as if it possessed enough power to tether worlds together. God it was annoying how masterful he was, but there was no denying that he wasn’t beautiful to look at. After a while, you had to relax your expression, having focused so intently, you were sure you looked ridiculous. Your heart fluttered as he shook the sweaty, damp hair from his face, his sunglasses still obscuring his gaze. You wondered if perhaps he was using them as a defensive mechanism so you couldn’t always tell if and when he was looking at you. Then again, he probably wasn’t even thinking about you, anyway. He didn’t seem to really care that much, so you shouldn’t haven’t been so concerned to start with. 

“Doing okay?” Danny asked, approaching you after the boys had called the rehearsal. You had busied yourself by scrolling idly through social media, looking up finally when he spoke. “Yeah, I’m okay,” you said, breathing deeply and sitting up straight. 

“Ready to go?” He asked casually, and you perked up instantly. Getting the chance to be alone with Danny again filled you with excitement, though you worked to make it not so obvious. 

“Mmhmm,” You nodded, putting your phone away and standing up to join him. 

“Danny…” you began, thinking of ways to finish your thought. 

“Hm?” He asked, turning his head to look at you. 

“Can we not go home? I mean, like–” you continued, considering restarting your question. “Can we go do something? Together?” You asked him, trying your hardest not to blush. 

“Are you asking me out on a date?” He asked you, offering that delectable grin that revealed his almost too-white smile. Goddamn, why did he have to be so sexy looking down at you like that? 

“Well, i–”

“Because if you are,” He continued, cutting you off on purpose. “Then I’d say I’d want nothing more than to take you out on a date, Y/n. But only if you think you’re ready and if you really want to.” This time, you didn’t hide the giddiness in your expression. 

“I’d love that,” you smiled brightly. 

“Good,” he grinned in response, biting his bottom lip. Reaching his hand out in front of him, he silently asked for your hand, and you instantly answered him with yours, clasping your fingers together again. He raised your hand in his and kissed the top of it before dropping it to his side, swinging his arm with yours as he walked.

Lost and found family chapter 3

Previous chapters. Chapter 1. Chapter 2

Again this is all for my own entertainment I just write because I like to none of this is really proofread besides Google so be nice

I want jake to have a redemption cause i feel like they made him very serious and i want him to be a fun loving dad.

Jake, Neytiri,neteyam lo,ak and i all convene in the war room maps and everything everywhere other warriors close to jake join in as well. Greetings are exchanged and then the work begins.

“Let's start off with what you know. What’s the RDAs current mission”

“Well considering they lied to me a lot I can’t be sure what all is the truth and what isn’t. But I can tell you base locations and squad goals. Right now here is the main base and about here and all the way over here are other primary ones, as you know they use that train way to get stuff to and from each one. I also heard they are doing stuff out at the sea but i don't know what they are doing just that they are there.

“Right, well try to get messages out to those clans to see if they need any help.”

“How are you guys on weapons”

“We just had a successful raid and were able to take alot. The problem though is some of the guns are quite different then what we are used to using.

“What let me see”

Jake leads the party out to the supply keep, a bunch of metal containers sit there.

“Here are the standard ars the soldiers usually hold but this box they are a lot longer not something I’ve ever used so they must be a new kind of model.”

“Yeah that’s cause they aren’t ars They’re new age sniper rifles”

I take the giant weapon out of the box attaching the long extra barrel and stock

“Damn I hear Lo’ak say under his breath

“They have a new locking mechanism that if you don’t do it right will cause the thing to blow up in your face.However I'm more concerned about the ammo that comes with this gun. it’s basically a tank piercer so what the rda are using it for could be a problem. The good thing is though there aren’t as many snipers that could hit I’m guessing whatever animals you ride on out of the air, especially if you're fast.

“Can I ask how you know all this? Neteyam say gently jake agreeing

“Because I’m a sniper. A fast one, it’s one of my many talents

“Really? Jake asks

“Yup want me to demonstrate? Here these should be practice rounds not the full tank bullet. I explain taking a set of bullets out of the side of the box

“Now i just need something to hit.

“What about this Lo’ak calls out holding what looks like an old wooden plate.

“Sure that would work, Jake want to throw it for me or do one of the younger ones needs to do it so you don’t throw it through your old man joints.

“Ok one for the last time I’m not old and secondly sure I’ll happily throw the disk for your cocky little ass.

“We all walk out to the opening of the cave making sure no one is flying around or coming in in the next couple of minutes.

“Ok jake ready when you are”

Jake grins and discus throws the plate as far and as fast as he can. The scope to my eye I quickly track the disk before firing. The recoil snapping into my shoulder as the bullet hits its mark. One of the other warriors who were on standby on their ikran goes to collect the item as it hurdles to the pandorian forest.

“Damn” is all I hear behind me as I unload the round from the gun.

“That was hot.” I hear loak say quietly to neteyam , neteyam just shaking his head in agreement with an astounded look on his face. I just pretend i don't hear it as i turn my head into my shoulder and smile The other warrior whose name I learn is ra’gi brings the plate over to jake. A hole in the dead center of it.

“Well ill be damned. Well we know you can shot what else you got kid”

“I'm proficient in hand to hand and can do the stuff a combat medic is able to.”

“Impressive well that settles it your going to get the fast pass to becoming an official omitikaya. Come let's test your hand to hand combat.”

We all walk over to the warriors jake saying several names. Men and two women come forward from the group they all look about mine and neteyams age.

“Ok caspian think of this as initiation. I want you to go up against our new warriors here and see how you hold up

“And here I thought the military discouraged hazing.”

“Haha get in there little red no better time than the present.”

Jake then turns back to the others “Ok i've asked you to come forward to measure our new clans members strength and agility. Does any one wish to volunteer out of the group?’A cocky looking boy steps forward. He is not horrible looking and judging by his stance thinks he's a god gift to the world. Joy.

“Alright mak’tey perfect you’ll hopefully be able to give her a good challenge

“Dad, are you sure about this maktey has been a hunter and fighter his whole life basically.

“It’s fine neteyam i can take him

“Eywa i dont think this will go well.

“Stop stressing bro just enjoy the show that's about to happen. Lo’ak cheers “I bet you ten beads that she loses”

“Hey” I say, looking at lo’ak. The little shit just has the nerve to grin back at me and shrug. Oh when I get a hold of him later I swear.

“Ok let's do basic hand to hand, we'll call the match when you either want to give up or tap out ok, no real weapons you’ll use these wooden training daggers and that it got it.”

“Got it.” I say as I shake out my limbs, cracking my neck, I take one of the knives and step into the fighting zone. I can tell by the boy's face he thinks this will be an easy win. He goes and confirms as much as he jokingly says to the boys behind him how quick this would be in Navi, not realizing I could understand him. He steps up and we both assume our battle stances as we wait for jake to start the round

“Ok begin”

We both start trading blows. Not really hurting each other but testing each other's speed it's truly getting boring so I wait for his next attack, catching his fist I bring it around his neck with my hand and trip him over to fall on his butt. The others laugh and I can tell that probably bruised his high ego. To his credit he rises quickly and gets back in a more serious fight stance. Now coming at me full force swinging and trying to grab onto me to pin me down. He comes close many times but i've honestly had enough sho with his next strike i take his arm knocking the blade out of his hand before kneeing him in the stomach once bent over i knee him again in the face before black widow style spinning him over onto his back (gif to explain, i dont know what else to call that move)

My knife now at his neck, wide eyed he yields the others cheering around me. I stand withdrawing my knife as I offer the warrior my hand.with a breath he takes it and surprisingly nods to me instead of getting pouty like most men when a girl beats them.

Jakes pov

Damn, I must admit I wasn’t expecting the little girl I used to know how to do that. The others all shake out of their shock and go to congratulate her, lo’ak and netayam included as they gush over her skill. Looking to trade instructions and skills. Beads also being passed around from the beats they all secretly took

“Well ill admit im very impressed.”

“Hello i'm a marine. I didn’t just pussy foot around my whole career.” Caspian answers snarkily back at me. I just put my hands up in defeat, smiling down at caspian. Maybe this plan will work out after all.

“Ok well we know you can fight. And shoot but a true test of an omatikaya is passing your iknimaya.

“My what.

“It’s finding and bonding with your own ikran”. Neteyam answer for me before looking back at me with a quizzical look on how fast im trying to push caspian.

“Neteyam is right but were not going to start that now. First i want neteyam and the others to show you around pandora and teach you our ways but i do need to emphasize this will need to be a more accelerated training. Think of this as hell week. Now learn everything you can from everyone and in two weeks well see if your ready. Now why dont you all go with the others and play ok. You’ve earned the rest of the day off.”

“Sir are you sure “

“Im sorry sir? We have to call you sir.” Jake just kind of looks ashamed at caspian asking that. The word coming out of her mouth sounding wrong as she looks at him asking if his son seriously calls him sir instead of dad.

Clearing my throat i say yes but first i ask lo’ak and neteyam to follow me. Shoving caspian over to the others as the call her.

We walk away from the group and I see both my sons are tense and silent. They are afraid of me. My heart twists this isn't what I wanted. I never wanted my children to be afraid of me. I turn to the boys, grabbing both of them at the back of the neck and pulling them into a tight hug.

“I'm so sorry.”

“Uh sir what's.” Neteyam says awkwardly trying to figure out what to do

“No it's not sir. I never should have even started that with you both. Seeing Caspian and remembering all of her childhood reminded me that you all are still children. My children. I never should have forgotten that. I love you both so much and I don't want anything to ever happen to you. So from now on I promise I'm going to make more of an effort to be more understanding. To let you be kids and not just soldiers. I see you my sons and I pray to eywa that we can start over from now on. I'm your father, not your drill sergeant and I almost lost you. I would never be able to forgive myself if you boys didn’t think I loved you. And I see that now ”

The boys both look at each other and bring me back into a hug. I can feel their shoulders slump as they breath heavily, probably trying to contain their tears just like I am.

“It’s ok dad, we forgive you.” Neteyam says for both of them.

I just bring both their heads to mine as I relish in the moment.

“Thank you my sons, now go on have fun ok I'll come get y'all when it's time for dinner. Try and find your sisters to you all could use a fun day after everything y'all hav been through the past few days. Just please for your old man sake don't go anywhere you're not supposed to.”

“We won't dad I promise. Like an actual promise”. Lo’ak says holding his hand up like a Boy Scout.

“Ok you rascals now get out of here.” I push them off towards the tents and the other teens/young adults not realizing my mate had come up behind me until her arms are around my waist.

“Hello my love.”

:Hello ma jake. Im very proud of you.”

“I must appologize to you as well neytiri you tried to tell me and her hands stop me covering my mouth as she looks at me.”

“It is all in the past ma jake eywa has guided you back to the right path all you can do now is continue to move forward on it. “

“I will love i will.” The couple walks back to their tent listening to the sounds of all their children enjoying the day.

Caspians pov

The week goes by and every day I learn something new. From the prayers and rights to speak while hunting. I spend a lot of time with everyone, tuk teaching me how to braid little things and which flowers make the prettiest paints. Kiri teaches me about healing. What plants to use and which to avoid. Lo’ak teaches me about the animals around us. Helping me with my dire horse riding. Well more like laughing at me when i fall off but still he tries to help. Neteyam teaches me to hunt and move through the forest. Showing me all the little places he’s found. Jake is much lighter now. It’s like he’s finally learned when to put on his chief pants and when to just be jake sully a father and husband.The rda has been silent for now probably trying to teach their recombants what they can before they send the hunting dogs back out but there’s nothing we can do about them for now.

The day finally comes. Tuk and lo’ak waking me early. The bright rays of light blinding me as lo’ak shakes my hammock side to side.

“Come on bro wake up already.”

“Lo’ak i swear leave me alone”. I say trying to rollover back into my hammock

“Come on, Cassy todays supposed to be important. Tuk yells as she gets up in my hammock now sitting in my stomach shaking me like a kid on Christmas waiting to open their presents.

“Ok ok im up im up.”

Tuk takes my hand and drags me over to everyone. Neytiri smiling and smoothing down my wild sleep hair as she hands me a plate of food.

“Good morning Caspian”

“Good morning neytiri. Good morning everyone. Where’s jake and neteyam.” As if summoned by their names the duo enter into the pod

“There she is bright and early.” Jake says throwing his arms around me messing up the hair kiri just helped me tame to her disappointment and mine

“Good morning caspian. Good morning neteyam. What where you two out doing.”

“Oh you know bonding but we where making sure everything was prepared for today”

“Why whats happening?”i say looking around at everyone. Neytiri and jake share a knowing look before looking back over at me with smiles on their face

“Caspian we have decided today is the day for you to take on you iknimaya.” Neytiri says lovingly

“What.?”

“It’s time for you to become a true part of this clan little red.” Jake adds to his mates words

“Really? Are you sure?”

“Yeah I've watched you the past weeks and you’ve learned so much in so little time. I know you have much more to learn but you and the others are ready and besides we need you air born if you're going to be of any help to us. So eat up cause after breakfast kiri and neytiri are going to help get you dressed and then it begins.”

The floating hallelujah mountains are truly beautiful. Is all I can think of as I follow the others up.

“So what is this called again?”

“Come on bro we’ve told you a thousand times at this point it's your iknimaya”

“You keep saying that like I should know what that all entails besides climbing this big ass mountain.”

“Hey, blame yourself since your determined ass wants to help dad, and the others in the field.”

“I'm a marine and of course I'm going to help”. I gripe back at lo’ak. Lo’ak had made it to the top of the cliff, the others and myself following.”

“Finally”

“I thought you were supposed to be a soldier?” I hear kiri ask smuggly looking down at me

“And I thought you kids were taught to respect your elders”

“Elders, you and nete are the same age and besides tuk has even climbed with us before ''. Lo’ak jokes back

All I hear is their laughing as I finally get to my feet. The view struck me. Every time I look out over Pandora the sight is absolutely incredible, almost breathtaking.

“Hey skxqwng come on.”

“Who’s a skxqwng Lo’ak I'll bet your ass.” His laugh is contagious as I can’t keep the smile off my face. Making swipes at him as we round the corner into a large opening, I see jake, neytiri, tuk and neteyam all standing there with their ikrans behind them.

“Hey, that's cheating if you get to fly up here.” I say motioning towards jake

“Hey I did it the hard way the same as you, besides if you want to be part of the clan this is what you got to do little red.

All I can do is look out into the open cliff side where dozens of ikrans lay waiting.

“Getting scared” Lo’ak teased relishing in my slowly paling face.

“Leave her alone “ neytiri hissed carrying tuk on her hip

“Aww come on I have to mess with her. I can't let her beat my time”. Lo’ak adds pulling a stopwatch out of the pouch at his hip.

“You timed this?!” I asked incredulously

“Yeah I timed everyone, so far Neteyam holds the fastest time. You’ll be fine just don't look down”

Jake smacks him good around the back of the head for that, Neteyam just stifles a laugh, kiri just shakes her head at her brother antics

“Ok little red lets do this”

Jake walks out motioning me to follow we all follow till a waterfall just off a narrow ledge of the rocky cave, pouring down into nothingness. I followed Jake, pressing my back to the wall and shuffling along the narrow edge into the emerging grotto. The banshee rookery I was later told I wish I was told sooner though. I thought just looking at Jakes and the others ikrans were somewhat intimidating but now I'm staring at hundreds of them. Clung to walls and perches hisses and growls heard all through the air

“Listen little red you can do this, you're a fighter remember and you had no problem fighting with me and everyone this whole time. You can do this, just remember what we taught you.”

I just shake my head at him letting him bring me into a quick hug. Netyrir slides up to me as well. Grabbing the back of my head she looks me deep in the eyes. “May Eywa be with you.” She says tenderness gleaming in her eyes.

“Good luck Cassie” tuk adds smiling

All I can do is nod again, too nervous to speak. Neteyam stepped forward resting a hand on my shoulder regrounding me to the situation at hand. My anxiety immediately calming as i look into his eyes

“Stay focused, you've got this. Just do as dad said, remember how hard we all worked on your training.”

“Got it, focus on training.” I about face and slowly make my way into the blinding light of the grotto

“When you choose an ikran you gotta feel it in your heart” neteyam yells out to me as i continue into the grotto

“Ok and how do i know if they choose me again”

“It’ll try to kill you.” Jake says a somewhat smug look on his face.

“Oh f my life.”

“Get on with it already!” I hear lo’ak shout followed by a yelp as kiri punched him in the arm for me.

I close my eyes and regulate my breathing. Putting on my soldier mask. My mind now focused. I open them and steadily start walking forward. The ikrans near me all eye me as I near, several shrieked and took flight, others just flapped their wings and yawned like I was an ant walking by. I just steadily crept through the crowd of winged creatures, bearing my fangs like I was taught trying to get a reaction out of any of them, but none did. It had felt like i had prowled the whole damn grotto not finding a single ikran that tugged at my heart. Letting out a frustrated sigh i turn around to face the sully family again

“Are you sure I can do this? Can they tell I'm a ldreamwalker or something like, what's up. What am I supposed to do ....”

A thud shook the earth under me. Oh shit don't let the mountain fall out of the sky now. I look up quick to see the family’s reaction to that tremor but all i see is them looking behind me. Eyes wide and mouths slightly open

Holy shit” Lo’ak gasps

The others all to stunned to reprimand him. God those can not be good looks, i slowly turned around and there it was. The sun was blocked out by its enormous figure. And the further up I looked the more color drained from my blue face. This thing was massive. Bigger than the other ones around the grotto. It was definitely bigger than jakes and I had no idea what I was about to do. The ikran spread its wings wide and glared straight at me. Letting out a deafening shriek.

Time starts now is all I hear before my instincts begin driving me. Hissing at the ikran it begins to charge me jaws wide as it leaps to eat me if it could. Timing the lunge I swing the leather strap thing jake gave me earlier in my hand like a lasso waiting for the creature to bite at me again. It lunges again, feinting to the right, it misses me and I'm able to snap the strap around its massive jaws, tying them shut. Well that just pissed it off more as a muffled scream it's heard in its throat. It’s starts slashing around with th talons on its front wings barley missing it as i look for another opening to pin the things head to the ground. I find my opening and jump on. The creature toppled to the side with me, koala bear straddling its head. Trying to fling me off like a bull at the rodeo and all i can do is hang on

“Caspian!” I hear Neytiri yell out as she sees me being bashed into some of the rocks around me.

I finally manage to wrestle the beast enough to get its head held down with my legs to grab its antennae i reach for my own que when the ikran suddenly gives a flap of its wings lifting us into the air

“F@ck”

“CASPIAN. Make the bond”. Jake yells out

“2 minutes, lo’ak calls out

“Seriously!”, I scream out in frustration. How am I suddenly the alligator hunter, Jesus, I'm swishing around in the air, the ikran slowly getting closer and closer to the cliff edge.

“Oh hell no, we are not going over that cliff.”

Finally I pull back and push all my weight the other direction throwing the ikran completely off balance, hitting the rock hard below knocking all the air out of me. But I don't have time to catch my breath Grunting I take my que in one hand and its antenna in the other smashing the two together Then silence. I could feel the electricity sweep through every nerve of my body sending a shiver down my spine. I could feel the ikran breath. The air entering and exiting its lungs. It’s heart beating frantically next to mine.

Clam down, I command in my head. The ikran immediately stopped struggling

“Ok we're going to take this slow. I'm going to release you and I just want you to chill ok.” I feel the ikrans hum under me. “Ok here we go.” I uncurl my legs from around the giant's head and slowly loosen my hold as I stand. Our ques are still connected as the ikran now rights itself and calmly stands next to me.

“Caspian quick you have to fly to seal the bond. I hear Neteyam direct me, pushing me to get on my ikran and leading us back over to the ledge.

“Come on little red’ I see Jake mounting his own ikran bob and taking off.

I hop on mine and look tentatively over the edge I was just barely dangling over. Let's do this. And off we both go. Screaming towards the ground before the air fills under my ikrans wings and we’re flying

I've flown before in planes and helicopters different things for the military but never did it feel like this. Flying felt like freedom. That no matter what happened I was free. Feeling the wind rush through my hair and the cold mountain air hit my cheeks. Jake whooping next to me as he weaves around. I hear hollering from my left and see Neteyam as joined us in the air as well, sporting a similar smile to his father. I see kiri, tuk and lo’ak still running around below me and command my ikran to land.

Stepping off, I finally take a good look at the creature.

I couldn't see it before but the ikran was truly beautiful. Its head was a beautiful sunflower yellow turning into red on the very top. I slowly look around him and see he looks almost tye dyed. Beautiful reds and yellows fading out into the cool tones of blue green and purple. The creature is truly a work of art.

“2 minutes 45 seconds” Lo’ak yells out in disbelief waving the watch around as he runs in a circle like an overexcited toddler. Jake let out a long whoop of joy running up to me swinging me around like a doll. Neteyam and kiri not far behind him, neytiri was bouncing tuk up and down on her hip in celebration as they joined the group. Lo’ak still a blue blur as he ran around crying “2 minutes.”

“Lo’ak stop running around”. Kiri finally scolds lo’ak tired of his yelling and running. I simply stare at my new ikran.

“How do you feel?” Neteyam gently asks me

“I feel incredible.”

Neteyam simply gives me one of his kilowatt smiles as my ikran lifts its head chirping out

“So little red that was fun huh.” Jake says, bumping my shoulder, smiling down at me.

“I will kill you right now, Jake sully. You didn’t tell me they could be this big.”

“Technically that is not even the biggest.”

“Cassie, Cassie you did it.” tuk yells launching into my arms

“Your ikrans so big, they're pretty though.”

“Why thank you tuk I agree.”

“What are you going to name him? Kiri asks next to me.

“Hmmmm ill call him tidy”

“Tidy? Why? Tuk asks curiously

“Cause he looks like he’s been tye dyed in colors.”

“What’s tye dye.? Tuk as questioningly.”

“It’s a clothing technique on earth, it's kind of hard to explain. I say ruffling tuk hair.

With the hard part over everyone climbs aboard their individual ikran as we fly over pandora back to home base. Where the celebration will go into the night. And all i can think as we fly is, eywa i'm glad I didn’t go back to sleep this morning.

jacob taking his daughter to get her ears pierced bc she "wants to be pretty" and he holds her when it's her turn with the piercer

Jacob running outside with his little girl on a snow day to build snowmen and compare sizes of their snow angels

taking his baby girl on set to show her off to all his castmates

Taking his little girl to the library for the first time because she's been running over and taking interest in his books whenever he's reading alone so he has to get her some more

Jacob taking his daughter as his date to her first red carpet for one of his movies!!

I’m a piercer and I would love to do sams nose. I could just imagine him being so nervous. He would decide to do it on a whim coming to see me at work. I’d sit on his lap to I could admire his beauty but god would he be dramatic about the pain- you just know he would make out to jake that this is worse than his surgery. But who ever that anon was thank you youve ruin my day who knew something so simple as a nose ring would ruin my day

oiiuhiudhjdgjs he absolutely would be so nervous and then be whiny to hide the fact that he's so nervous and you could just be “oh baby i know, you're being so brave, you're doing a great job” and he would secretly love to be babied like that and he would blush when you told him how pretty it looks
