my ex, who lives alone, is apparently about to buy a 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 2-garage house. what. i'm getting stressed out just hearing about it. tf you gonna do with all that space, bro? how you gonna clean all those bathrooms???
#he's like well i want one room for my home office and one room for my hobby and one guest room#add in a bedroom for him and that's still only 4 bedrooms? you have an entire extra bedroom????#plus an extra garage???#damn he thinks he's lonely now but dude just you wait until you spend every day ALONE IN A FIVE-BEDROOM HOUSE#trying not to project too much onto him but i really think this is absurd outside of my own preferences#he's been stressed living in his 1b apt bc his hobby takes up a lot of space#but i think this is just another example of his general propensity to treat the symptoms and not the disease#the problem is he's overcommitting & extending himself too much & he never finishes anything#that's what actually stresses him out#so him in a 5b house is just going to be him filling all that space with stuff until he's stressed again#anyway i have NO IDEA how to react to this because i think it's such a bad idea#i'm really bad at faking things i don't feel but i feel like it's too late to say 'wyd bro???' because apparently his offer was accepted#i did ask him how he's going to clean 4 bathrooms and he said he's just not going to use them#also it feels weird morally for a single (rich) man to buy an entire 5b house only for him in the middle of the seattle housing crisis#not like if he didn't buy it someone else would buy it and make it into affordable housing units so maybe it doesn't matter#still feels weird though and contributes to me not knowing how to react#if you have any advice for me followers...i am all ears#i've been really floundering on how to be a supportive friend to him lately#just really struggling with how to engage with him when it feels like he's his own worst enemy#and like it's not that he needs to have the same priorities as me it's just that he comes to me all stressed out and idk how to react#bc 'no shit you're stressed out. have you tried making completely different choices?' isn't a great option lol

Iâm a black American. We have garage freezers to store meat :) especially if you buy in bulk at a store like Costco. Helpful to have somewhere to hold all the big meat items!
#African American#we use it for meat#itâs common for us to buy it at like Costco and need a separate freezer for it all#especially if there are a lot of children in the family#With so many siblings and nieces and nephews and cousins#we need an extra freezer#:-)#also I use mine to store all the things that kids eat#my house freezer is for me and my husband#my garage freezer has waffles and popsicles and other things that the kids eat#plus extra meat

ââââ àŒ»đ„žàŒș ââââ
Strolling through the Hungaroring paddock, you kept a tight hold of your sonâs hand. Bustling bodies brushed past, paying the the pair of you no heed, which worked well with your surprise.
Over the past few weeks, Toto had been working tirelessly to ensure the upgrades were ready and working in time for the Hungarian Grand Prix, albeit to the detriment of his own health. Heâd been sleeping less, running himself ragged to ensure Mercedes didnât remain fourth in the constructors. After winning at Red Bull Ring and Silverstone, he knew the potential was there. All he had to do was unlock it. But that had meant shorter calls with his wife and son, fewer responses to messages and a growing distance that he hated feeling during the season. And so, arranging a surprise visit during race weekend had been the most obvious solution.
Mercedes hat sat atop his dark hair, Jack babbled about everything he could see as the tall form of George Russell guided you towards the garage.Â
âHello, stranger.â Lewisâ voice met your ears when he caught sight of you. âToto didnât tell me you were coming. Whatâs up, little man?âÂ
George vanished into the back of the garage, searching for the Team Principal. Leaning over to the Brit, you pressed a kiss to the cheek of the 7x WDC. Lewis gave your shoulders a squeeze before pulling Jack up into his arms, whisking him over to where the W15 was being polished.Â
âGeorge, this better be important. I was in the middle of an analysis report-.â A disgruntled Austrian accent filled the garage, bringing a smile to your face. You could picture the deep frown twisting his handsomeâs features without even turning to see it.
âLiebe?âÂ
The silver arrows watched the tension seep out of their Team Principalâs face as he took in the appearance of his wife. Striding across the garage floor, he pulled you in for a tight hug, and pressed a chaste kiss to the side of your head. Aware of the eyes on you both, he had to refrain from pressing his lips to yours. Denying you both the deep kiss you truly desired.
âSurprise,â you whispered, slipping your arm around his waist. Your hand automatically rubbing soothing circles against his hip.Â
âIâm so happy youâre here,â he murmured into your hair, inhaling the familiar scent of home.Â
âYou sounded like you needed us.â
âI always need you.â
âWell, then, letâs go rescue your son from Lewis.â
Holed up in Totoâs office, the Wolff family basked in their first moment of family time since over a month. Toto had ordered everyone to leave them alone until qualifying was due to start or somebody was dying. Thankfully, the team listened and so he spent the past hour listening to his son tell him about school and watching Lewis win a race on telly.
Fussing over the amount of coffee cups in the waste bin, you turned to lecture your husband on his inability to get enough rest but paused, mouth open. Curled up on the deep couch pushed against the wall, Jack was snuggled into his fatherâs lap. His iPad had fallen to the side, and soft snores escaped from his mouth. Glasses askew, Totoâs chin rested on his sonâs head, eyes closed tight. Father and son, exhausted from the excitement of their day.
Taking a quick picture on your phone, you smiled at the sight of your family. Reaching into Jackâs backpack, you pulled out his blanket, draping it over your favourite boys.
âIch liebe dich,â you whispered, pressing a kiss to each of their foreheads.

Reunited [LS2]
Summary: You decided to surprise Logan at the Miami GP with the help of Oscar
Pairing/s: Logan Sargeant x Reader, Oscar Piastri x Reader (platonic), Charles Leclerc x Reader (Briefly), Lando Norris x Reader (Briefly)
Word Count: 1.2k
Masterlist
Logan Sargeant Masterlist
Tag List
Getting into the paddock had been the easiest part all day, except now you were lost. There was no one wearing anything Williams related or anything Mclaren related that wasnât just fan merch. You were surprising Logan, so you didnât want to call and ask him, and you had tried calling Oscar, but he just wasnât answering his phone.Â
Wandering around the Hard Rock Stadium, you were trying to find anyone that could point you in the correct direction. Spotting the Ferrari drivers you wandered over, hoping that theyâd be able to help.Â
âSorry excuse meâ You spoke quietly as you stopped next to them. They both turned to look at you, assuming you were just a fanÂ
âDo you want a picture?â Charles asked, and you shook your headÂ
âSorry. Iâm not a fan. Iâm just a little lost. Iâm looking for the Williams garageâ you replied, and they nodded. Carlos tapping Charles on the shoulderÂ
âIâll see you in the garageâ He nodded as Charles turned back to youÂ
âIâll walk you down there. Here for anyone specific?â He asked as you walked with him. Logan, your fiancĂ© except he didnât know you were comingÂ
âJust know a couple of people in the garageâ you shrugged as he nodded, walking past the Mclaren garage. It was serious that it was easy to find it? Now you were kicking yourself. You'd distracted yourself and a driver who was due to race soon.Â
A flash of Papaya caught the corner of your eyes as you walked past the bright papaya garage. Youâd stop by and thank Oscar later for helping you pull this off. If it wasnât for him, you wouldnât even be in the paddock today.Â
âY/N? You made itâ You were wrapped into a hug by Oscar, who had a huge smile on his face.Â
âOscâ You smiled, wrapping your arms around his body, your hand instinctively rubbing his back soothingly.Â
âCome on. Iâll walk you down to Williamsâ He cheered more than happy that you were now standing in front of him.Â
âThanks Charlesâ You smiled to him before Oscar pulled you down the paddock to the Williams garage
âHe was flirting with youâ Oscar hummed, looking at you, and you shruggedÂ
âI think so, but itâs fine. Iâve only got eyes for my fiancĂšâ you hummed, and he smiled
âMy parentsâ He hummed, and you rolled your eyes at that. Oscar had a thing about calling you and Logan his parents. While in a way, you probably did act like a mother, it wasnât your intention to do so. You just wanted to look after the younger boy, as did Logan.Â
Many people believed that after they joined F1, their relationship started to fall apart, but in reality, it did change, just not the way people thought it had. Logan had taken quite a few steps in life that Oscar hadnât taken quite yet, but he was still as close to you and Logan as he had been a few years ago.Â
Oscar stepped into the Williams garage, and you followed behind him.Â
âWell well well. Look at these lazy peopleâ you joked, standing behind Logan, who was standing looking at some screens alone. His head quickly whipped around as he heard your voice. A smile spreads on his face as his arms wrapped around your body.
âOh my god. Baby. What are you doing here?â He whispered his head, hiding in the crook of your neck.Â
âWell Osc got me a paddock ticket. I thought I should come watch your home race from your garage. Plus Iâve finished all my university work so I now have all this extra free timeâ You shrugged as he looked up at youÂ
âYou finished your degree?â He asked, and you nodded with a smileÂ
âI have. I wouldnât be here otherwise. I finished it this morningâ You smiled, looking down at him, running your fingers through his hair.Â
âWait. Whereâs my little baby?â He asked with a poutÂ
âSheâs with your mom. I can call your mom and get her to bring her here if you want?â You asked, pushing his hair out his face, and he noddedÂ
âI need my good luck charmâ He smiled, and you nodded, texting his mom, who very quickly agreed. Logan wandered off to find James. It's probably for another paddock pass. You smiled over to Oscar, who nodded and walked out of the garage. Logan handed you a paddock pass with a huge smile on his faceÂ
âI canât leave the garage right now. Iâve got a couple of interviews I need to do before the race. Will you be okay?â He asked, and you nodded.Â
âLogan. Baby. Please stop worrying. I know my way about this place nowâ You smiled, and he nodded.Â
Having collected Aurora from Loganâs mom, you walked back to the motorhome for Williams. Aurora was asleep against your chest as you walked through the paddock, the baby carrier keeping her close and safe.Â
âOh my god. My little goddaughterâ Oscar smiled, running over, leaving the other Papaya clad driver to follow behind him, confused. Making Oscar Aurora's godfather was the easiest choice in the world other than saying yes to Loganâs proposal.Â
Swatting Oscarâs hands away as he tried to take Aurora out of the carrier, causing a pout to form on his face, no doubt because he just wanted baby cuddles that you were denyingÂ
âSheâs asleep, Osc. Please donât wake herâ you whispered gently, handing her over. Aurora snuggled into her godfather's chest with a small smile on her lips as he held her. Taking a picture and sending it to the group chat that consists of Oscar, Logan, Lily, and yourself.Â
âSheâs gotten so bigâ He pouted, and you noddedÂ
âI know. I come back from university every day, and sheâs doing something newâ you pouted, and he noddedÂ
âWhen are you done with university?â He askedÂ
âI finished today. This means that I have a couple of options, but thatâs a discussion for laterâ you shrugged, causing him to nod.Â
âOh by the way Y/N this is Lando, my teammate. Lando, this is Y/N weâve known each other since we were kids almostâ You nodded with a smile as Oscar placed Aurora back into the carrier.Â
âWeâve got a couple of meetings, but Iâll see you three for dinner tonight, right?â He asked, and you noddedÂ
âYou know it. Itâs just the four of us tonight. Figured our kids would want some time with both their parentsâ you joked, kissing Auroras' head, causing him to laughÂ
âBye Y/Nâ He smiledÂ
âBye Osc. Nice to meet you Landoâ You smiled. Stepping back into the Williams garage, Logan ran over to his two girlsÂ
âMy girlsâ He smiled, taking Aurora out of the carrier and holding her close to his body. Almost as if Aurora knew it was her daddy, she opened her eyes, looking up at him.Â
âI want you to travel with me. Both of youâ Logan whispered as you thanked a mechanic for the small noise cancelling headphones, placing them on Auroraâs head.Â
âYeah you want that?â You asked, looking up at Logan, who nodded with a smileÂ
âI want nothing more than that. Youâre finished with university, which means youâve got plenty of time, and I donât want to miss any more of our babies milestonesâ You smiled, pressing a kiss against his lipsÂ
âThen weâll be in Italy with youâ You looked up at him, taking in how he looked. He looked tired and like he'd had enough of everything at the moment. He probably had, so hopefully, having his baby girl there would help him cheer up.Â

Shut Up and Kiss Me | Jeon Jungkook One Shot
Summary: You've been Jungkook's best friend for literal decades but what happens when it turns out he wants to be more than just friends... Pariring: Backup Dancer Reader x Idol Jungkook (f2l they're honestly crackheads I love them) Word Count: 13.4k (Daym đ) Warnings: Explicit language and sexual content yup that's it haha a/n: I got way too carried away with this but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. Let me know what you guys think! Also barely edited but that's pretty much the usual here lol Requested by an anon đ
"Alright ladies that's a wrap!" the lead choreographer calls out. "Thank you all so much for your hard work these past few weeks. I know this is going to be a comeback that'll go down in history!" he continues and we give ourselves a round of applause before I head over and get my dance bag and get ready to go.
"Someone's eager to get out of here" my best friend/roommate Nari teases. "I already told you I'm headed home for the weekend" I say, sitting down and changing my dance shoes into my sneakers. "Oh right, you should go see your in laws too" she teases, bumping her shoulder against mine while she does the same.
"Hey not so loud! Not everyone knows that Jungkook and I are close like that and I'd like to keep it that way. Plus we're just friends alright" I scold, looking around to see if anyone had caught wind of what she'd said. "I never said anything about Jungkook, you did" she says leaving me biting my tongue and realizing that I risked outing myself all on my own.
"I hate you" I huff and stand up to go but she grabs onto my pant leg to stop me. "No you don't" she laughs. "Be sure to bring back some of your mom's cooking" she reminds me leaving me rolling my eyes at her. "Yeah yeah I know, I'll see you later alright" I say, grabbing my bag and putting the strap around my shoulder while she waves goodbye and starts talking to some of the other dancers.
~~~~~
Walking down the hall I happen to run into Jungkook and Taehyung walking down the hall and I bow politely at both of them and they do so as well before passing each other by. "Check your phone" Jungkook whispers and I nod my head, not turning around in an effort to not cause suspicions.
"Wait is that her?" I hear Taehyung say as they walk away and all I hear moments later is Taehyung crying out in pain when I walk through the elevator doors. Turning back around, now facing them again Jungkook gives me a nervous smile and I laugh in return before leaning over towards the key panel and pressing G for garage.
Stepping out of the elevator and walking up to my car I get an all too familiar chime on my phone signaling a new message and smile once I unlock my phone.
'Working hard today? ' Jungkook sends.
'Don't I always work hard? ' I reply, putting on my seatbelt and starting up the car, making my way to the exit, my drive only being about ten minutes away to my apartment.
'Yeah your cheeks just looked extra flushed and your hair was a mess.'Â he teases, making me open my mirror on the sun visor, checking my hair at the red light, seeing nothing a miss with my hair but taking note of those flushed cheeks he mentioned.
'Whatever Jeon. After having seen you walking around with Taehyung definitely brought you down a few points. That man is gorgeous!'  I throw back, knowinghow pouty he gets when I compliment his members. Or anyone else for that matter.
'Hey leave him out of this! I thought I looked pretty handsome today though...guess my efforts were in vein'Â Â he send and I can just imagine the facial expression he's making.
'You did look handsome Jeon but stop fishing for compliments, it doesn't suit you'Â I send back, complimenting him while also reprimanding him, a skill I've used time and time again when it comes to him.
Minutes later I pull into my parking spot at the apartments, quickly running upstairs to take a shower and get ready to head out, all the while Jungkook and I have been exchanging messages back and forth, well apart from me being in the shower of course.
As I put the finishing touches on my makeup and check out my outfit one last time I see an incoming FaceTime call from none other than the man himself.
"Hey!" I say, propping the phone up and walking around my room to gather up any last minute things.
"Hey! You look nice, well compared to earlier today" he says, his nose scrunching up, amused by his own words leaving me scoffing at him. "Where are you headed?" he ask seeing as I won't dignify his earlier words with a response.
"I'm about to head out to Busan to see my parents. I haven't been there for a while and my mom has been begging me to come visit for a while now. You know she's still mad at you for stealing me away from them on my birthday right?" I laugh, remembering the look on my mom's face as he was tugging me out the door.
"Yeah but we had fun right? Remind me to apologize next time I see her" he says, rubbing the back of his neck and I laugh at the bashful mannerism.
We continue on our conversation for a while and only when I hear another voice coming in on Jungkook's side do I remember that I've gotta get going.
"Hey! Why are you hiding in here? Our break was over ages ago and we need you to come record some more backing vocals" the voice I can now identify as Jimin scolds getting clearer as he no doubt comes closer.
"I'll be out there in a minute just lemme finish up this call" he says and tries to angle the phone away from Jimin to hide who he's talking to.
"Who's that?" he asks and I can see a slight flush of color bloom on Jungkook's cheeks leaving Jimin laughing when he realizes who it is. "Hi y/n!" he calls out and I laugh after seeing Jungkook roll his eyes at him.
Jimin and I met a while ago when he found out Jungkook was going to Busan and wanted to tag along, not having realized that I was doing the same thing.
"Hi Jimin!" I say happily and Jungkook sends me a quick glare through the phone. "Let's all go out soon! It feels like we haven't seen each other in ages!" he calls out and at that Jungkook starts to shoo him out.
"Alright hyung give me two minutes and I'll be right out" he says, giving him a look telling him to get out or suffer the consequences.
"Bye y/n!" he giggles and I return it saying a quick goodbye and acknowledging his invitation as well. "Bye Jimin! Time and place and I'll be there!" I finish off and he says goodbye one last time before I hear what I can assume is a door closing behind him.
"I should probably get going" I say, picking my up bag and grabbing the phone as well, glancing around one last time before putting my shoes on and walking out to the car. "Are you driving?" he questions and I confirm it as I unlock the doors and get inside, setting my phone in the dashboard mount.
"Drive safe alright! I heard it might get a little stormy out there so be careful" he warns and I nod my head while putting my seatbelt on, smiling at his slightly worried expression. "And how might you know that already?" I tease, surprised at how he could've checked since this is the first time we've spoken about this trip.
"My mom called me to complain about the weather the other day" he groans, rubbing his temple almost as if he was having flashbacks of what looks to have been a not so pleasant conversation.
"Maybe I should stop by? It's been a while since I've seen them" I suggest, remembering how Nari teased me about it earlier. "Sure! I'll let her know that you'll be there for a few days" he says and I nod while turning on the car and pulling out onto the road.
"You should probably get going too though right?" I question, laughing at the fact that he looks as though he's making himself more comfortable on the couch he's sitting on instead of making moves to head out. "Nah I should be good for another ten, they've probably moved onto the next member by now" he yawns and I laugh at his carefree nature.
"Don't you guys have a comeback coming up?" I question, trying to remind him of the responsibility he has to his team. "It's just a single so ten more minutes won't hurt" he winks making me clear my throat and focus more on the road.
We continue our conversation for that ten minutes he was sure he would be afforded before the next member comes in and scolds him, this time being Taehyung. "Who are you talking to?" is all he says before Jungkook says a quick goodbye and hangs up the call. "That man really wants to keep me away from Taehyung" I say out loud, shaking my head at his panicked expression.
Although Jungkook and I work in the same industry he still likes to hide our friendship from the rest of the company and the public in general. He's an idol and I know he wants to protect me but it's still makes me a little sad that I'm not able to meet the rest of his members, or at least not officially.
I've seen them all in passing throughout the building as I'm hired to be a backup dancer in most comebacks but I have yet to be included in one for BTS. I know it's probably for that same reason of him wanting to keep me safe but I wish he wouldn't.Â
I want the both of us to work freely and when possible to work together but I'll respect his wishes no matter what. At the end of the day he's the one that'll pay the price if rumors about us were to spread.
He's my best friend and I don't want anything to happen to him so if having our friendship be a secret is the way to protect him then I'll do everything I can to make sure it stays that way.
~~~~~~
As I pull up to my parent's house I see my mom eagerly waiting for me with the front door open and waving for me to come inside.
"Hurry up it's freezing out there, you'll catch a cold from that rain" she call out when I open my car door. "Nice to see you too mom" I chuckle and once I get inside she's already helping me get my rain jacket off. "Let's get out out of these wet clothes right away, I don't want you to spend what little time you have here coughing up a storm" she nags.
Always the charmer that one.
I know she means well but I just wish she would stop worrying so much. I'm a grown woman I can take care of myself. Before I'm even able to say hello to my father she's already rushing me to go into my room and get changed. "Hurry up and get dressed! Dinner's gonna be ready soon" she says while turning around and heading back into the kitchen to finish everything up.
Walking into my childhood bedroom always hits me with a wave of nostalgia especially when I see all of the pictures I have in here. Pictures as me growing up throughout the ages and noticing how Jungkook is in almost every one of them, always making me smile.
We've known each other ever since he moved into the neighborhood. We were about five years old back then and here we are, twenty five years old and our friendship is stronger than ever.Â
We met one day on the playground at recess when he was drawing pictures with the sidewalk chalk and I had been playing hopscotch with some of the girls in my class not too far away.
I walked up to him because I noticed he had been all by himself and I wanted to see if he wanted to play with us. He said no because he wanted to keep drawing and so I sat and watched him for a while until I asked him about what he was drawing and from that moment on we became best friends.
We would take the bus home together and take turns going to each other's houses after school and it felt as though my day never felt fully complete if I didn't see him at least once.
We were about eleven years old when he told me he wanted to be a singer and from that day I was his number one fan. Always encouraging him to sign up for talent shows at school and listening to him sing when he wanted to show me a new song he learned and that's also when I started to find my love for dance.
I couldn't really sing, well I could never sing as well as he could so I decided to start dancing. He would sing and I would come up with random routines and it would go round and round like that.
I did it mostly to make him laugh but soon he wanted to join in with me and so we became a duo. We didn't perform for anyone other than our parents when they begged us to so it was almost as if it was our little secret. Just something for the two of us.
When he heard about the show Superstar K having auditions I was the first one to tell him he should try out. He wanted us to audition together but I reminded him that he was the one who could sing. He wanted me to learn but I told him this was his moment and he needed to do it on his own.
I knew from a young age that he was going to be something special and I wasn't going to get in the way of that.
I went with him to the audition and he did amazing but he didn't make it. He didn't have the confidence in himself but I knew that if he just tried his hardest that even if he didn't make it into the show it would still put eyes on him.
When he finished his audition I saw the amount of people coming to give him offers. Seven companies wanted him to audition and I couldn't have been prouder of him!
"How do I even start to figure out which one to choose?" he complained as he shuffled through all the business cards he had been given. "Well take a look at the artists they have under their label, that might be a good place to start" I suggested and that night the two of us spent hours looking up and listening to track after track from all the different groups until our brains hurt.
"This is gonna take forever" he groaned, plopping down on his bed, exhausted after a full day of it and I can't deny that I was feeling the same way. "How about this" I say gathering all the cards up into a stack and fanning them out with the company names faced down so neither of us could see.
"Pick a card, any card" I joked and he chuckles before finally grabbing one and putting it to his chest, not daring to look just yet. I stand next to him and we both take a big breath in and out before he reveals it and the words of what would end up being his future stared us right in the face.
"Big Hit?" he questions having sounded out the english words clumsily, "What does that mean?" he asks, looking over at me like I have all the answers and luckily this time I did. "It means like really popular, like if a song comes out and everyone likes it and they always play it on the radio or something then it's a big hit" I explain and he watches me with those adorable doe eye taking in each and every word.
"So if I want to be a big hit then that means that starting with this label would be a good idea right?" he asks, tilting his head, awaiting my approval. "I mean you would think so right?" I respond and that was the last push he needed to go ahead and audition.Â
And thanks to our little nonsensical way of going about choosing he really did become a big hit. It took some time and a lot of effort but he made it!
"Y/n! Dinner!" my mother yells, breaking me out of my walk down memory lane. "I'll be out in a sec!" I yell back and pull off my damp shirt and replace it with a hoodie, which ironically ends up being one that Jungkook let me "borrow" even though he knew he was never gonna get it back.
"Come on y/n it's getting cold" she yells again and I have to shake my head, trying to physically will myself to stop thinking about him now but it's hard not to. Everything about this house reminds me of him, and I like it that way.

After dinner and being bombarded with question after question about my life and job and everything the conversation somehow circles back to Jungkook. "How's he doing? He's become such a handsome young man hasn't he?" she says, elbowing my father who gives a slight grunt of approval having been focused on the tv watching some sort of sports game.
"He's alright. I saw him at work when I was leaving and then we talked on the phone a bit while I was packing up to come here" I say and her eyes light up at that fact. "Sounds like you two are still close huh?" she says in a knowing way which makes me groan. "Come on mom you know it's not like that. Jungkook is my friend" I say, taking a drink of water.
"Yeah but friends can become...friendlier" she teases making me choke on my water. "You okay sweetie?" my dad asks, now having turn his attention back to me during the commercial break. "Yeah mom is just teasing me about Jungkook again" I say, taking the napkin he's offered me.
"Well he is a fine young man y/n. Are you guys still close?" he asks and I face palm, both of them being a carbon copy of the other when it comes to him. "Yes dad we're still best friends. Are we done here? I would prefer to keep the interrogation to a minimum while I'm here" I say pushing my chair out and starting to clear the dishes away.
"Oh you know we're just joking. It's nice to see that you're still friends though, regardless of anything else" my mom says while bumping my shoulder just like Nari had. "Me too" I mumble and think about all the memories we've made together since I moved to Seoul.
With all that distance between us while I was living in Busan and even with him being caught up in the whirlwind that is the music industry we never lost touch.
There were times where his responses would be a bit sporadic but it would always be around comeback time when that would happen or sometimes at odd hours while he was on tour but we never went more than a few days without exchanging at least a message or two.
He made that promise to me the day he went to Seoul.
He promised me we would never lose touch and that we would always be there for each other and to this day we've never faltered. I know he's someone I can count on and he sure as hell can count on me too. It's us against the world. It always has been and it always will be.
~~~~
Finishing up the night spending some quality time with my parents was just what I needed. Even with all the prodding and teasing and interrogations it was still something that healed a part of me that I tended to overlook.
I've felt homesick since I left to Seoul and coming back here just makes it even more apparent so that's what keeps me away. I try to convince myself that the longer I stay away from home the better I'll start to feel but that never works. The only thing that does the trick is when I spend time with him.
Jungkook has become my little home away from home and whenever I'm with him that melancholy feeling tends to fade away and I can never thank him enough. I've never told him that but I hope that in some way I could be that for him too.
~~~~
When I wake up in the morning I text Jungkook and ask him if his mom said it would be alright for me to come over and he surprisingly answers right away.
'Yeah she said she'd love to have you and said that sometime this evening would work well'Â Â He relays so I make a mental note of it and spend the rest of the morning and afternoon with my parents before I head out to the Jeon's.
"Tell them we say hello and don't forget to give her the tea that I gave you, and try not to stay out too late, there's a storm coming in and you don't wanna get caught out in it" she calls out to me while I walk to my car. "I'll let you know when I'm on my way home" I say and give her one last wave before getting in the car and taking off.
When I reach their house I'm surprised to see a big black van outside the house but nonetheless walk up to the door anyways and ring the doorbell.
"You're here!" I'm met with a comfy looking Jungkook in a matching grey sweatsuit with a smile painted on his face. "What are you doing here?" I ask, giving him a huge hug right away. It feels like it's been ages since I've actually been able to be this close to him.Â
"When I heard you were coming home this weekend I realized that I should come too since I had the whole weekend off" he says, swaying as he hugs me and props his head on top of mine.
"You could've told me! I wouldn't have minded waiting to come up today" I say and he shakes his head chuckling at the suggestion. "And risk making your mom mad at me again? No thanks. Plus it wouldn't have been a surprise if I told you" he says and I lean back to look up at him.
"You know I hate surprises" I say, furrowing my brow and he pokes me in the forehead to make me stop. "Your adorable reaction says otherwise" he teases and at that his mother walks towards us. "Jungkook I told you to let her in, not make her stand in the entryway. Y/n it's so good to see you" she says giving me a big hug and dragging me further into the house.
"Would you like any coffee or tea? It's freezing out there" she says, wrapping her cardigan around herself in an effort to keep out the cold. "Tea would be great, which reminds me my mother told me to bring this to you" I say, handing her the jar of honey yuzu tea.
"Oh we had talked about this the other day! Thank you so much, why don't you go ahead and join the others and I'll bring it out to you in a minute" she says and scurries off to the kitchen.Â
"Others?" I ask, turning to face Jungkook who had been trailing behind us. "You'll see" he says with a devious smile and leads me towards the growing noises of a conversation being had in the other room.
"Aye what took you so long?" Jimin says, standing up and giving me a huge hug making Jungkook have to step to the side to avoid being knocked over. "I didn't know that you guys were gonna be here otherwise I would've come sooner" I laugh and Jungkook taps Jimin twice on the shoulder as a clear sign for him to let go.
"Try not to smother her, she wasn't expecting to see any of us" he says making Jimin pull away and give him a wary look that I can't really read but I go on to look around the rest of the room and am met with six more pairs of eyes.
"Oh, um hello" I say as I look around the room and see the rest of the members seated around the room who had been visiting with Mr. Jeon.
"It's been a while hasn't it?" Mr. Jeon says warmly and gives me a gentle embrace. "It has. I'm sorry, I don't come home often and when I do my mom holds me hostage" I admit and him as well as all the guys watching us laugh making me recoil a bit from the unexpected attention and end up bumping into Jungkook's chest.
"Well I'll let you young people have your fun" he says and places a hand on Jungkook's shoulder before making his way into the kitchen to be with his wife.
"You alright?" Jungkook asks and I look up at him and nod, my breathing having gone shallow from our close proximity with my back still against his chest along the 6 person audience we now have. "Just take a deep breath. They'll love you I promise" he whispers and he guides me in the rest of the way and begins introducing me.
"Guys this is y/n, y/n these are my members" he says and is quickly cut off with an arm being thrown around his neck. "Aye! Aren't we more than just your members? I thought I raised you better than that" Jin says while ruffling Jungkook's already fluffy hair.
"Alright, alright get off me" Jungkook groans as he shoves Jin off playfully. "Y/n these are my hyungs" he corrects and at that theres a collective nod amongst the rest. "You already know all of their names so yeah" Jungkook says, scratching the back of his neck and I smile as I see the tips of his ears are getting a bit red.
"Namjoon, Jin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Jimin and Taehyung I'm one of the backup dancers that HYBE employs every once in a while so I'm pretty familiar with you all or at least I know a lot about you I mean I-" "It's very nice to meet you y/n" Namjoon says, cutting off my nervous rambling right from the start.
"You guys too! Jungkook talks about you all so much that I almost feel like I know you already" I say and they all smile at that. "We feel the same way, Jungkook never shuts up about you" Taehyung says and I can feel Jungkook stiffen behind me and I smile, happy but somehow nervous having learned that information.
"Hyung, a word?" Jungkook says, singling out the one that's closest in age to him and I can see Taehyung's whole body droop before he gets up, realizing the kind of scolding he's bound to get.
Once they leave I'm left with the other five but luckily Jimin is still here so I'm not totally alone. "So y/n Jungkook tells us you've been friends since you were kids right?" Jin asks, starting the conversation off smoothly so as to not put too much pressure on me.
"Yeah! We met when we were about five years old. It really feels like I've know him my whole life" I say, smiling shyly and Jimin takes the initiative of leading me over to sit on one of the arm chairs. "Twenty years is definitely a long time. It's crazy how you guys have been able to stay friends that long with him being an idol and all that" Hoseok says, elbows rested on his knees almost fascinated at the thought.
"Well he made a promise to me before he went to Seoul and promises are very important to us" I say and they all nod, having experienced the same with him since they had known each other for ages already as well. "So you guys are best friends right?" Namjoon asks, leaning forward as well, as if he's working his way up to asking another question.
"I mean yeah, it's kind of embarrassing but besides him and my roommate I don't really have any other friends. Well I mean I have the dancers I work with but they're more colleagues than anything" I relay and they give me a sad smile.
"Yeah that seems to be the case when you work in this industry but hey any friend of Jungkook is a friend of ours as well so you just gained six more friends to add to the list!" Hoseok chimes in.
"Thank you guys that really means a lot to me. I've just been so career minded that I haven't really taken time to make new friends" I say and I'm met with a strong hand on my shoulder making me look up and see a smiling Jungkook looking down at me. "Luckily I'm here though right?" he asks almost as if my words had made him a little insecure.
"Of course! You'll always be my best friend. Nothing and no one will ever change that" I say, placing my hand on top of his and giving it a firm squeeze.
Something Jungkook always seems to need is reassurance about us and that we'll always be together. It might just be because I'm sure he's gained and lost a lot of friends having worked in this industry and seen people's true colors as they started to grow in popularity.Â
It's probably hard for him to know who he can and cannot really trust outside of his members.
"Hey what's with that look Jungkook come on sit down there's no need to be so serious" Namjoon says and Hoseok joins in making Jungkook feel a bit more at ease. "Can we sit together?" Jungkook whispers and I nod before getting up and he sits down where I had just been and pulls me down onto his lap.
This isn't an unusual thing between us but from the looks of the six pairs of eyes staring back at us you would think we had done something scandalous.
"Is everything alright guys?" I ask, watching as they collectively start looking back and forth between us before Yoongi chimes in. "Calm down guys they said they're just friends" he says and so eventually the weirdness that had settled in goes away and we continue on throughout the night laughing and talking into the wee hours in the morning.
~~~~
"Is it really already two?" Jimin says and at that I jump. "Wait are you serious? My mom is probably freaking out thinking I got caught out in the storm. I need to get going" I say trying to stand up but I'm stopped with a strong arm around my waist, keeping me in place.
"You mom called my mom a couple of hours ago to make sure you were okay and she told her that you would probably just be staying over tonight because of the storm" he whispers and I shudder at the thought.
Jungkook and I haven't spent the night together since he left for Seoul so the thought of doing it now when I'm sitting on his lap and with his hand dangerously close to crawling under my shirt has me feeling breathless. "Oh okay, but where am I gonna sleep?" I ask and he smiles at that.
"You'll sleep with me in my room, you know, for old times sake" he offers with a shy smile and I nod, nervous but not nervous enough to turn him down. It's Jungkook after all. We're best friends right? Just friends...
~~~~~
"Goodnight guys!" I say after the eight of us have talked for another hour or so, Jungkook following close behind as we make our way upstairs. "Text me if you guys need anything but try not to need me" Jungkook says and I see all of the guys give him a knowing smile besides Jin who has been scandalized by the thought of anything happening but it wasn't something that I had caught onto just yet.
"Behave" is all he says and Jungkook rolls his eyes at him before he rushes me upstairs with Jin scolding him all the way but he's quickly silenced by Yoongi, reminding him that Jungkook's parents are asleep.
"They seem really nice" I say once we've gotten into Jungkook's room. "Yeah they're alright" he says, walking over to his closet and throwing me a tee shirt and a pair of sweats, grabbing the same for himself.
"I'm gonna go use the bathroom unless you want to first?" he asks and I shake my head allowing him to do as he says with him closing the door behind him, leaving me alone in his childhood bedroom just like I had been in mine.
It's been ages since I've been in here, let alone slept in here and I feel as though everything has almost been frozen in time. His mirroring mine with all the pictures his mom and dad had taken of us over the years and even a few of his old drawings he had pinned up on the wall.
I start to get undressed and put on the sweats first and when I'm slipping his shirt over my head his door opens and quickly put it on the rest of the way and hear him start apologizing. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry I forgot to knock" he says quickly and when I turn around he has both of his hands over his eyes.
"It's alright no big deal" I laugh and he shift from one foot to the other nervously. "Can I open my eyes now?" he asks and I laugh at his almost innocent nature. "Yes you can open your eyes" I say and pinch his side making him flinch. "Hey!" he says and I shush him immediately reminding him of all the sleeping people on the level bellow us.
"No one can hear us from up here you know that" he laughs, reminding me that his parents bedroom as well as everyone else is downstair on the opposite side of the house. The only things upstairs being his older brother's old room and his father's office.
"We should still be quiet" I scold playfully and he takes that as a challenge. "Oh yeah?" he says taking a step towards me and making me take a step back. "Yeah" I say, less confident in my wording than before leaving him lunging at me and tickling me mercilessly to the point where I can't even breathe anymore.
"J-jungkook stop!" I say between painful laugher and he only stops when I start hitting him. "Okay okay. Truce?" he asks, pulling back and holding out his hand to shake. "Truce" I echo, shaking his hand to seal the deal.
We stand there for a second with our hands still connected and swaying them back and forth, neither of us really knowing where to go from here. "We should probably get some sleep" I offer and he nods his head and leads me over to his bed letting me climb in first and him following soon after since his bed and placed against the wall.
"You need anything else? Another pillow? Maybe another blanket?" he asks after we've both settled in. "With the human heater you are? No I'll be fine" I say and he pushes my shoulder a bit me having faced away from him.
I turn around and realize that that might've been my first mistake of many to come.
"Tell me about the comeback you're working on. Have they been nice to you?" he asks, laying on his side facing me, suddenly becoming a bit serious. "Oh, um yeah everyone is really nice and the boys although energetic and goofy have been very professional about it all" I say in reference to the Enhypen comeback I'm working on.
"What's the name of their title track again?" he asks, settling in a bit and moving just a little bit closer, hardly noticeable unless you were fixated on it like I am right now. "Bite Me. You know because their whole back story for the group is Vampires" I say, laughing it off since it could be interpreted in many different ways.
He hums in acknowledgement lost in thought as he glances down at my lips for a second that I nervously bite in response. "It's a partnered dance right? I've heard about it in passing" he asks and I nod my head, "Who are you paired up with?" he asks, tonging his cheek at the thought of it.
"Sunghoon. He's been very quiet and very respectful. If anything I wish he would talk to me a little bit more so we could feel a bit more comfortable with each other but I'm sure we'll get there" I laugh, remembering how he barely spoke to me when we initially got paired up.
"Does he call you Noona?" he asks and I swallow at the thought of him being jealous because if there's one thing I know about Jungkook is that he get's extremely jealous.
"Um, yeah, they all do. You know I don't like keeping that overly formal relationship with anyone so it's been helpful breaking down those walls and a way of treating them as regular guys instead of idols. I think they get enough treatment like that you know?" I ask and he hums in response, not having much more to ask for a few beats.
"How close do you guys get? Like does he put his hands on you?" he asks, clenching his jaw a bit and that's a dead ringer for his jealously growing. "Jungkook this is a part of my job. He doesn't do more than he's supposed to and same with me" I say and I can see how his mood starts to change a bit.
"Hey, what's got you all upset about this?" I ask, not wanting to beat around the bush. I know better and it's best to just confront these things head on. "I just don't like the thought of other guys touching you. I know, I know it's stupid and it shouldn't upset me but it does" he says, flopping down on his back and throwing his arm over his face.
I sit up and turn towards him, pulling his arm off and making him look at me. "Why does it bother you?" I ask, genuinely curious as to why something like this would make him upset.
"Do I really need to spell it out to you?" he says furrowing his brow as if I've done something wrong. "Well obviously you do because I don't understand why you would care about thi-" I start but he cuts me off by pulling my arm and making me fall onto his chest.
"Jungkook I-" "No, don't say anything. Push me away if you don't want this but please don't overthink it" he says, flicking his eyes between my eyes and lips, looking more vulnerable than he ever has.
I hold my breath, taking in what is happening between us and there's nothing inside of me that doesn't want this and he knows that.
We stay there for another second or two until he puts his hand on my neck keeping me in place. "Last chance" he whispers, his breath fanning against my lips and before I can even second guess myself I'm pressing my lips against his.
He keeps one hand on my neck and the other one has found it's way to my hip, trailing up and down my side and eventually grabbing onto my thigh to guide me to straddle him, making the kiss more intense and full of longing.
"We shouldn't be doing this" I say when I break the kiss for a second but he pulls me back in kissing me again in protest. "Shut up" he whispers as a way to remind me to not overthink it.
I run one of my hands through his hair and grip onto the strands wanting to keep him here and never let him go and that sparks a new intensity to the kiss him now flipping us over so I'm now on my back.
I giggle against his lips and he smiles against mine kissing me more and more into a daze, drunk on his lips and the way he's touching me.
His hands become a bit more bold as one stays on my jaw while the other trails up my shirt, keeping a strong hand against my hip squeezing it as a way to tell me he wants more, wants everything I'll give him.
He switched from keeping his hips hovering above me to pressing against mine, chancing a soft grind against them making me whine at the contact making him do it again earning more soft sounds from me.
Soon he grinding into me, his hard on having been brushing against my clit, the friction driving me mad making me breathe out his name when his lips start to trail down my jaw and along my neck, kissing and sucking and biting his way down while his hips never falter.
"Tell me to stop" he says, pulling away and looking down on me, making me furrow my brows in confusion. "Tell me to stop and I will but if I keep going I don't think I'll be able to stop" he says, his lips wet and swollen, his hair a mess and I would be out of my mind if I pushed him away now.
"Don't stop" I say, placing my hand on his neck and guiding him back down to my lips, needing him like I need air and he growls against my lips, his excitement growing ask he slips his hands further up my shirt, now resting on my ribs, so close yet so far from touching me where I want him to.
I whine and he chuckles against my lips before asking me if he can take my shirt off which I answer by sitting up and pulling it off myself leaving him to do the same. My eyes widen seeing his sculpted muscles being a lot more defined than I thought they would be and he smirks once he sees my reaction.
"Like what you see?" he asks and I hit his chest before pulling him back down. "Just shut up and kiss me" I scold and he does just that.
His hands roam the bare skin I've revealed to him and he starts to trail his lips down my neck and onto my chest where he suck marks on it until he's stopped by my bra. He bites it and tugs on a little to gauge my reaction and I arch my back as a wordless plea to take it off which he does immediately.
He curses at the sight of them before looking back up at me. "You're so pretty" he says before pressing his lips up against mine again. his hands finding their way to my breasts first, squeezing them and toying with my nipples granting him more whines when he squeezes a bit too hard.
"You're so good to me" he says trailing his lips down my chest again sucking marks into me as if he way trying to paint me as his own, leaving me with the proof of what we had done together.
When he wraps his lips around my nipple I know that I'm a goner, my whole body on fire and all my senses trained on him.
Watching as his brows furrow in concentration, hearing as he groans against them, giving both of them the same attention making me lose my mind. Still tasting him on my tongue, smelling the minty flavor as he licked it into my mouth. Feeling his hands traveling lower, toying with the drawstring I have tied tight around my waist.
He lets go of my nipple leaving it puffy wet, hardening even more from the cold air reaching it after having been left the warmth of his mouth. "Can I take them off?" he asks and I nod my head but he shakes his. "Use your words" he says, tugging on the string but not enough to untie it.
"Yes Jungkook please" I choke out, my rational brain having been lost a long time ago. "Can I take it all off?" he says toying with the waistband of my under ware as well. "Yes" I say and he smile from not having to prompt me again.
He looks at me for another second and then he busies himself with taking off the last bits of clothing that was hiding me from him.
Once he pulls it all off he curses from being met with my glistening folds and trails his hands up my thighs and looks up at me wordlessly asking for permission. "Touch me Jungkook please, do something" I groan, getting restless with the pace he's going at.
"Patience princess" he taunts and I hold my breath after hearing that pet name roll off his tongue like that. "You gonna be quiet for me?" he asks, trailing his nose against my inner thigh. "I thought you said n-no one could hear us up here" I choke out and he chuckles dryly, surprised I've still got enough of a clear mind to talk back.
"That's true but it depends on where you are in the house. In a perfect world they would all be sound asleep but if someone was to be roaming around, well let's just say it's best if you stay as quiet as you can" he says, blowing cold air onto my center leaving me flinching at the feeling.
"Me? What about y-you?" I stutter and he tilts his head at me. "We both know who the loud one is gonna be" he says now cocking a brow at me, daring me to argue otherwise which I don't leaving him turning his attention back to what he was about to do.
He looks between my folds for a second almost studying it and I groan a bit, embarrassed at the sight but he simply kisses my inner thigh in response. "Everything about you is so pretty even your pretty little pussy. Even better than I thought it would be" he says and before I'm able to react to that he's already put his mouth on me.
Tracing his tongue up and down my folds and sucking on my clit, taking his time and being gentle with me, learning what brings me the most pleasure from the sounds I'm making and the way my thighs start shaking.
"You're so perfect. So pretty and vocal for me" he growls and I moan a his words of praise. He continues his ministrations until my back is arching off the bed and I'm so close to cumming stopping only to praise me again tipping me over.
"There you go, so so good for me" he says, pumping his fingers inside me to fuck me through my high, only stopping when it gets to be too much. "You did so well. So quiet for me, making sure only I could hear you. Making all kinds of soft sounds for me" he praises before kissing me, making me taste myself on his tongue, moaning into his mouth and never wanting to come back to reality.
"You think you can give me another one?" he asks, squeezing my hip and dragging his eyes down my body again. "Yeah" I whisper, watching as his hunger grows. "You gonna let me fuck this pretty little pussy? Been dying to for so long" he says making my eyes widen, realizing that what I heard before wasn't something I made up.
"You've been what?" I ask, getting breathless at the thought of him wanting me like this. "Haven't you figured it out yet? It's been so hard for me to stay away from you. I just didn't realize I had been doing that good of a job" he says and I get even more confused.
"Jungkook what are you trying to say?" I ask, wanting to get a straight answer out of him. "You're really gonna make me say it...Alright" he mutters to himself and I can see how embarrassed he's gotten all of a sudden.
"I know this has kind of been done backwards but I've been in love with you for as long as I can remember and I know love is a strong word and I know now isn't the best time to say something like this but I-" he rambles but I pull him down into a kiss that shows him that I've felt the same way. I've just been too scared to admit it.
"Just fuck me and we'll talk about this later" I say against his lips, breathless from how long that kiss had gone on. "Someone's eager" he teases and I glare at him telling him to get on with it or stop. "Okay okay" he laughs and strips down and lays between my legs.
My eyes widen at the sheer size of him, he's not too big but definitely bigger than I would've thought based on how tight his jeans have been throughout the years. "It's okay I'll make sure it won't hurt" he says nudging his nose against mine.
"Do you trust me?" he asks and I answer 'yes' without any hesitation. "Tap me twice if it gets to be too much" he says and I nod before he's planting his lips against mine while he rubs the tip up and down my folds making me mewl and pull him closer.
He pushes the tip in and it's already got me close to cumming. After everything that's happened today I never thought we would've ended up here. He presses in further and I let out a high pitched whimper and he stops, breaking the kiss.
"Are you okay?" he asks, looking down on me, mesmerized by the sight of my flushed cheeks and dilated pupils with the fucked out expression I'm already giving him. "Yes keep going" I pant out and pull him back down into a kiss, trying to muffle my gasps and moans against his lips.
Once he's bottomed out he stops, enjoying to warmth of my walls and grunting when he feels how hard I'm clenching around him. "Fuck, are you alright?" he asks, turning his full attention to me, pushing away his urges and making sure that I'm feeling good too.
"So big, I'm sorry just gimme a sec" I pant and he chuckles, placing a soft pecks on my lips. "We'll take it slow" he says and after a couple more seconds I tell him to move. He slowly pulls out of me the slightest bit and pushes back in, inching further and further out making his thrusts go deeper every time.
"Fuck you're so tight" he grunts, biting my shoulder as a way to drown out some of his sounds of pleasure. He's finally able to pull almost all the way out, leaving just the tip in and he looks down at where we're connected and curses under his breath before he thrusts back inside of me, bottoming out and knocking the air out of my lungs.
He settles into a faster pace than before, growling in my ear how good I'm making him feel. "Fuck I've been dying to do this for so long. You drive me fucking insane, making me feel so fucking good. You're so perfect for me" he says, praising me and driving me utterly speechless, not being able to think straight and the only word that falls from my lips over and over are his name muttered amongst other incoherent noises that only encourage him to keep going.
My walls flutter around him and start getting tighter, a clear sign to him that I'm close and he coaches me through it. "I know, I know" he mutters, his forehead resting up against mine as our breath intermingles, getting closer and closer to that high.
"I can't I can't" I cry out, squeezing around him and making him curse, a few tears streaming down my face "It's okay, you can cum" he says and at that I tip over the edge losing myself and forgetting to be quiet, making him throw a hand over my mouth to muffle my cries.
"S-so close princess" he stutters out and I nod, letting him fuck me through my high and he's cumming soon after, smashing his lips on mine, not trusting himself to muffle his own cries.
He continues doing shallow thrusts into me until he's spent, both of us panting and overstimulated and he pulls out of me making both of us hiss at the feeling before he plops down on his back beside me.
We lay there for a second, catching our breaths and when I glance over at him I realize that he's already been looking at me and without saying a word we both bust out laughing.
"Did that really just happen?" I question, flipping over on my side to face him. "Yeah, um I guess it did" he chuckles nervously, running his fingers through his hair. "What's wrong?" I ask, scared that he might've regretted it. "No nothing's wrong! You're perfect, this was perfect I just feel bad about doing this all wrong" he says, overthinking things just like he told me not to.
"Hey, this is us we're talking about. Nothing ever ends up going the way it's supposed to. I don't regret doing it this way. Do you?" I ask, hoping his answer will be no. "I don't regret it I just wish I could've confessed to you properly. You know, asking you out on a date and all of that stuff" he says, more shy than anything.
"Jungkook we've known each other for twenty years. I think we're past doing things properly. Plus for what it's worth" I pause and whisper in his ear, "I'm in love with you too" I say and the next second I'm back on my back with him on top of me again.
"You're just dying to get fucked again aren't you?" he growls, against my lips making me laugh at his change in demeanor. One second he's a shy insecure Koo and the next he's Jeon Jungkook ready to fuck my brains out. I wouldn't want it any other way though.
"Maybe" I tease and and he trails a hand up and down my inner thigh. "What do you mean maybe? Hmm?" he says trailing kisses down my neck this time leaving big smooches making so much noise with each kiss leaving me writhing around, laughing and trying to push him off from how ticklish it is.
After we've both calmed down he gazes down at me, taking in all my features before gliding his eye down my torso to where we're pressed against each other.
"You ready?" he asks, trailing his finger up and down my slit making me shiver at the process. "Still so wet for me" he groans, kissing me and playing with my clit making me squirm. "Please" I breathe out and he lines back up before looking up at me. I nod my head and he looks back down, pushing just the tip in and noticing how I tense up.
"Still sensitive?" he asks, running a hand up and down my side, giving me kisses trying to make me feel more comfortable. "A little. Just go slow" I say and he nods, pushing into me inch by inch taking care to read my reactions and slow down when my breathing picks up until he's bottomed out.
He kisses me on the forehead and rasps a chant of praises in my ear. "So good for me. You're doing so well. You feel so good. You were made for me" amongst other things that give me a fluttery feeling in my stomach and making me let out breathy moans in response.
"Can I move?" he asks and I take a deep breath before nodding and he takes my words from before so seriously. Rocking his hips back and forth so carefully and making my mind melt, feeling every inch and whining when he hits that spot.
"Right there?" he asks, hitting it again and he takes my gasp for breath as a response, getting high from how good I feel wrapped around him and all the reactions I couldn't hold back even if I tried. This pace feeling more intense, more intimate.
As we reach our highs, one soon after the other I find myself slowly losing consciousness and he kisses me until I fade away, loving how slow and lazy they get as the minutes pass by.
He pulls out of me once I've slowly drifted off leaving me mewling in my sleep making him lose his mind and wanting to go again but he holds himself back and chooses to laugh at how adorable he find me. Lazy and fucked out with a small pout on my lips making him somehow fall even more in love with me.
He knows I should pee but he'll let me rest for a bit, going to the bathroom to clean himself up before coming back to watch me sleep before ultimately cleaning me up, knowing that I'll hate the feeling of waking up messy more than waking up to him taking care of me.
I whine in my sleep when he dabs the warm towel around and on my center, apologizing and doing his best to hurry up but still making sure to be gentle with me. Once he's almost finished is when I finally come to and start to open my sleep ridden eyes.
"I'm sorry I had to wake you but you should really go pee before we go to bed" he says and I hum in agreement, taking a second to wake up before reaching out my hand, a nonverbal plea for him to help me up which he does so graciously.
Luckily he has an ensuite and so I don't have to worry about covering up but I still end up grabbing his shirt and slipping it on before having him help me to the bathroom, legs still feeling wobbly as a result of what he did to me.
He laughs at my efforts and decides to scoop me up instead, plopping me down on my feet and leaving the bathroom, closing the door behind him to thankfully grant me some privacy, we're close but not I'll go to the bathroom in front of you close.
I sit down and take a second to clear my head, trying to process everything that just happened.
I just slept with my best friend who has been in love with me for years and I finally admitted to the both of us that I have been too and now...well now what? I take a deep breath and finish up, standing up and flushing to toilet before going to wash my hands, gasping at the sight of my mascara running down my face, it's not a lot but still.
"Why didn't you tell me I looked like this?" I whine, catching him in the middle of changing the sheets. "What's the problem? You look hot" he says nonchalantly. "More like a hot mess" I groan, helping him finish up making the bed.
"The fact that I made sure you look freshly fucked is hot" he says, coming up to me and grabbing me by my hips, pulling me into him and planting a smooch on my pouty lips that I eventually relax and deepen the kiss into a slow sensual one.
"No, not again" I say breaking the kiss and stepping back. "How did you know I was gonna-" "We might not have done this before but that doesn't mean I don't know what you're up to" I say, turning away from him and going back to the bathroom, making sure to sway my hips a little bit to taunt him.
"Keep acting like that and you won't be leaving this room anytime soon" he growls as I slowly close the door leaving it open just enough for me to stick my head out. "Is that a threat?" I ask playfully, loving the reactions I'm getting out of him. "That's a promise princess" he rasps leaving me widening my eyes before closing the door quickly and quietly behind me, still close enough to hear his dry laugh in amusement.
After washing my face and using a new toothbrush I found in his drawer I climb back into bed and he pulls me into him immediately, leaning over me and placing his phone on his bedside table and notice there's somewhat of an unreadable expression on his face.
"What's wrong?" I ask, leaning back to look at him, worried that something might've happened. "Nothings wrong I just think you're gonna get mad at me if I tell you" he says, laying back down and pulling me closer, making it harder for me to look at him but I pull back again.
"Why would I get mad at you?" I ask, now even more suspicious. "A few of the guys heard us" he mumbles and I jump up almost falling out of the bed in the process. "What do you mean a few?" I ask, horrified at the thought. "All of them..." he say, wincing at the thought of my next reaction.
"All of them?!?!? Jungkook you said no one could hear us up hear!" I whisper scream, blushing at the fact that we got found out so easily. "Well everyone but Yoongi. He was the first one to knock out but I'm sure the guys will end up telling him" he relays, mumbling the last part.
"Jungkook" I scold, hitting his chest a few times. "Hey we're adults and we didn't do anything wrong. It's their fault for being perverts" he says, rolling his eyes at the thought.
"What did they hear..." I ask just above a whisper as if the walls had ears. "Nothing too crazy just the bed creaking a bit and some muffled voices" he says and at the I craw under the covers, trying my best to disappear.
"Hey what's the matter" he chuckles trying to pull the blanket off of me but I keep a strong grip on it. "Just leave me here to die" I groan and he laughs again. "Come on it's not that serious" he says, trying to pull them off, this time succeeding.
"Nothing serious? You just told me that your bandmates, that mind you I just met tonight-" "Well technically it was yesterday..." he cuts me off. "Not the point! You're telling me they not only heard us having sex but it was after the both of us swore up and down we were just friends? Jungkook I'm never gonna be able to face them" I say, grabbing a pillow and laying down on my back, burring my face in it.
"Just do it, put me out of my misery" I plead, my voice muffled while I ask him to smother me which he does so for about ten seconds before letting up after I start making noise. "You were really about to kill me weren't you?" I say, sitting back up and hitting him with the pillow before he grabs it and throws it on the other side of the bed and out of reach.
"No...but I do like the idea of breath play" he grins and I tackle him, making him fall on his back and trapping his wrists against the mattress. "This isn't funny Jeon this is serious" I scold and he laughs, enjoying how completely and utterly mortified I am.
"How did they even find out?" I groan, rubbing my temples and sitting back, still straddling his waist. "Taehyung was looking for a bathroom and woke Jimin up to help him find it and when they heard us Jimin woke Hobi up who tried to wake Yoongi up but he just groaned out a cruse leaving Hobi waking Namjoon up who hesitated, but still ended up waking Jin up" he lists off making me cringe more and more as the list goes on.
"That's it, I'm staning Seventeen. My bias is Mingyu and my bias wrecker is Hoshi. Here's my Army card and my light stick" I say, holding out two empty hands and he swats them away, refusing the offer
"Hey! Why out of the thirteen of them does my best friend need to be your bias? Am I not enough?" he pouts. "You're enough but that doesn't mean I can't pick a bias. It's not my fault all your friends are hot" as soon as the words leave my mouth he flips me on my back, glaring at me with a jealousy I've never seen from him.
"Come again?" he growls. "No that's alright, three's good enough for me" I say, teasing him and using an alternate meaning instead. "Ha Ha you're soooo funny" he says with a fake laugh, rolling his eyes at me.Â
He gets off and leans up against the headboard, letting out a huge sigh and running his fingers through his hair. "Hey you know I'm just teasing you. You're the only idol, no, the only man I need in my life alright" I say, pulling his face back towards me and kissing him, soft and sweet and he tries to deepen it again but I pull away leaving him groaning at the denial yet again.Â
"Nope bed" I say, tapping him twice on the chest and turning around, giving him my back. "Come on please" he whines, cuddling up close and rubbing his already semi hard against me. "I'm tired Jungkook" I say, pushing his hips off of me and he pouts burying his face into my neck.Â
"Can I put it in? I won't do anything" he says against my skin, placing a couple kisses here and there leaving me hardly any sanity to say no. "You're into cock warming huh?" I chuckle and he hum in acknowledgment.Â
"Come on please" he asks, rubbing it against my ass again until I finally lose the mental battle I'm having. "Fine but I wanna sleep Jeon so no funny business" I say and he quickly takes off the boxers he had thrown on and lifts up the shirt I'm wearing and eases it inside of me, nothing stopping him since I have nothing on underneath.Â
I whine a bit at the stretch, this being a different angle than before and he kisses my neck to distract from the pain. Once he's settles in he takes the strong hand he had gripping my hip and slides it up my waist, grabbing one of my boobs and sigh, comfortable and ready to pass out.Â
"Who said you could touch me like that too?" I ask and he shushes me and goes quiet, quickly drifting off to sleep. 'This man is unbelievable' I think to myself and try to ease my mind, breathing and trying to distract myself from the fact that I have Jungkook's dick inside of me while he's happily asleep behind me with his big tattooed hand around my breast, occasionally squeezing it in his sleep.Â
After coaching myself through it and mentally blocking it all out I eventually drift off to get some well earned rest...
~~~~
"Jungkook, y/n breakfast!" is the next thing I hear, Mrs. Jeon calling us to come down and it takes everything in me to not ignore it and fall back asleep. "Jungkook" I say sleepily, still in a fucked out daze with my senses coming back to me one by one and remembering that I still have his dick buried deep inside me.Â
"Jungkook your mom made us breakfast" I mumble out and all I'm left with are his soft snores and his hand squeezing my breast, still very much asleep. I take a deep breath and try to figure out my options here and decide to give him a not so rude awakening, fucking myself back against him leaving him stirring awake, letting out breathy moans still not fully conscious of what's going on.Â
Once he starts to come to he slides his hand down to my hip, mumbling my name sleepily against my skin. "You're not playing fair" he says, moaning into my ear and only making me need him even more. "They called for us to come down for breakfast" and at that she echoes what she said before leaving Jungkook groaning, hating the thought of stopping.Â
"Be there in a minute" he yells, trying to keep his voice level. "That hurt" I complain, scolding him for yelling in my ear. "You'll get over it" he says and bites down on my neck before gripping my hip again. He takes over, thrusting harder into me leaving me covering my mouth, staying quiet as a mouse knowing that for sure anyone could hear us.Â
After both of us have come down from our high Jungkook give my shoulder as kiss and slips out, both of hating the loss of contact but knowing we need to stop. He gets up and brings me a warm damp towel and cleans me up before throwing me some new clothes to change into.Â
"Can I borrow a hoodie too?" I ask and he turns around, placing it on the bed next to me. We take turns going into the bathroom and straightening ourselves up and I shrug the hoodie on at the end, throwing the hood up, pulling the drawstrings and tying them tight leaving him laughing at the sight.Â
"What?" I ask, glaring at him. "You look ridiculous" he snorts and I roll my eyes leaving the bathroom and going back into his room, "I'd rather look ridiculous than show everyone downstairs what you did to me" I say, plopping down on his bed and waiting for him to put a shirt on although I would very much prefer he didn't.Â
"It's fine don't worry about it. All the guys already know" he says, throwing on a hoodie on as well after noticing how cold it is. "Yeah but what about your parents! There's no way in hell I'm letting them see this" I say, crossing my arms over my chest and mentally praying that I'll sink into the floor to avoid this interaction all together.Â
"They already know that I've liked you for the longest time so it was only a matter of time until this happened" and my jaw drops at the thought. "Your mom knew too? How many people knew before me" I ask, scared of what the answer might be. "Pretty much everyone that I'm close to. Even your parents knew" he says giving me a crooked smile.
"My parents knew?!?!" I gasp in total disbelief that this is happening. "It's not my fault you're oblivious" he say and I wack him in the arm leaving him laughing at, from his perspective my continued adorable reactions.Â
"Let's just go downstairs and have breakfast alright. I promise you everyone knew this was gonna happen and they all have been very supportive of it for the longest time" he says, guiding me up and out of his room. "You know this isn't making me feel any better right?" I pout and his only response is placing a kiss on my lips before running downstairs leaving me behind.Â
I take a deep breath and follow slowly behind him into the most embarrassing breakfast I'm sure I'll ever have.
"Good morning sleepy heads" Mrs. Jeon greets us as she places a bowl of strawberries on the table along with the other incredible looking food already set out for us. "Good morning" I say and plop down on the seat next to Jimin and across from Jungkook.Â
"Did you guys sleep alright" he asks with a knowing smile leaving me sinking further down on the seat and covering my face. "I don't wanna talk about it" I mumble and he laughs but leaves it at that. It doesn't stop the amused glances from the rest of the group and the not so subtle teasing along with it though.Â
"You alright there y/n you look kinda cold" Tae says as I take a drink of water making me choke, Jimin tapping on my back as I cough through it and try to catch my breath. "Yeah just a little" I say and glance over at Jungkook who is clearly loving this.Â
He winks at me before reaching for my plate and adding some food to it, knowing what I like and don't like and putting the perfect amount.Â
You know, I really am oblivious now that I think about it. He's always done stuff like this and has always taken care of me and wants to make sure I'm okay. I guess I always just chalked it up to friendship but again, I'm clearly just oblivious.
~~~~~
As the breakfast continues it goes from harmless teasing to comfortable conversation and soon we're all getting ready to head off.Â
Once Jungkook and I are back upstairs I go into his room with the intention of gathering up my stuff but he has other ideas and presses me against the door, kissing me breathless.Â
"Jungkook we need to get going" I groan and he kisses me once more before backing away. "Okay I just can't help it" he says, sad as if he had gotten his gameboy taken away. "I'm sure you'll live" I laugh and he rolls his eyes before getting a bag for me to put my stuff in and making sure I find everything.Â
"Here" he says, throwing me my bra he found that had some how ended up the opposite side of the room. "Hey!" I yell and he giggles at my reaction before running out and heading downstairs.Â
"Is y/n ready?" Jin asks as he looks back up towards the way that Jungkook had just came from. "Yeah she'll be out in a second" he says and Jin nods before smacking him upside the head.Â
"Hey! What was that for?" he yells, making all the guys laugh at the interaction. "I told you to behave yet you did the exact opposite" he scolds, reminding him of the warning he gave us before we went upstairs.Â
"Yeah well it kinda just...happened" he says shyly. "Uh huh" Jin says, rolling his eyes at him and walking out the door with a few other members. "I just hope you were careful" Hobi says putting a hand on my shoulder. "Hyung" he whines, dragging the word out leaving Hobi giggling on his way out to the car.Â
"You gonna be ready to head out?" Namjoon asks when the others have already placed all of their stuff in the trunk. "Yeah but I'm gonna head back with y/n. I'll have a staff member pick me up from her place later" he says and Namjoon gives him a suspicious look before nodding and heading out as well.Â
When Namjoon is just walking out is when I just start coming downstairs. "Oh are you guys all heading out?" I question surprised to see them go so soon. "They're gonna get going but I'm gonna drive back with you. Well as long as that's okay with you?" he asks, rubbing the back of his neck again, I swear that's my favorite thing he does.Â
"Sure, you can drive back with me" I say giving him a soft smile making him light up. "Awesome! Lemme just go say goodbye to mom" he says hurriedly and rushes to go find them with me following slowly behind.Â
"You guys taking off too?" she asks, giving me a hug after letting go of Jungkook. "Yeah I've got a lot of work to do and need to rehearse before I meet up with the artists again this week" I say, pulling back and giving her a soft smile. "Well don't work too hard and make sure to keep an eye on him. And for heavens sake Jungkook ask her on a date already" she teases, whacking Jungkook on the arm.Â
"Mom" Jungkook whines and I smile at the interaction. "Don't worry I'll keep him in check" I say and she chuckles while Jungkook glares at me.Â
"Where's Mr. Jeon?" I question not seeing him anywhere. "Oh he had some errands to run but I'll let him know that you said goodbye" she says, placing a soft hand on my arm. "Yes please give him my best and thank you so much for everything! Hopefully we'll see each other again soon" I say and she nods and starts to walk us out.Â
"I'm sure we will, you've gotta make sure to drag him along with you" she says, whacking him on the arm again leaving him rubbing the area, no doubt a bit sensitive from being thoroughly abused this morning. "I will" I say and we finish up our goodbyes at Jungkook's house and are soon finishing up at my parent's house as well.Â
"Ask her out on a date already Jungkook I want some grandkids" my mom not so subtly whispers. "Mom!" I whine, surprised that she would be so bold to say something like that. "Honey you're not slick I promise. I could only imagine the damage that hoodie is hiding under there" she says with a wink. "MOM!" I yell and Jungkook giggles, oh how the turntables have turntabled.Â
"Don't worry I've got it all under control" Jungkook says, giving my mom a hug and she's quickly shooing us out, reminding us to drive safe. "Hey toss me the keys" Jungkook says leaving my brows furrowed together but doing so all the same.Â
"You wanna drive?" I question and he nods his head happily. "Yeah I don't get to do it often so I like to do it when I can" he explains, sinking down into the driver's seat. "You know that really makes me regret my decision" I say worriedly, doing just the same. "Oh come on I'm a great driver" he says, and I cock a brow at him. "Uh huh" I say, emphasizing each syllable and he rolls his eyes at me, starting the car and backing out of the driveway after we've both put our seatbelts on.Â
We wave goodbye to my mom one last time and then we're on our way back to Seoul.Â
"You know you better not make me regret this" I warn after we've been driving for a while making him look over at me. "Regret what?" he asks, turning down the music that we've been listening to. "Letting you take my virginity" I say and he swerves slightly. "Hey be careful!" I scold and quickly regains control of himself again.Â
"You what? You mean to tell me that a fine ass, driven, mature and independent woman like you was a virgin?" he says, shocked at the thought. "Well it's the fact that I'm so driven and independent that that anything like that was put on the back burner. Plus how am I gonna find a regular guy attractive when I'm surrounded by idols all day?" I say and he sighs and rolls his eyes.Â
"Don't get jealous" I taunt. "I'm not jealous!" he refutes. "Oh so you wouldn't care if Taehyung gave me his number?" "He did what?!?!" he says, swerving again when he goes to look at me. "If you're gonna keep doing this when I say the slightest thing then I'm gonna need you to pull over so I can drive" I say while holding onto the handle above the door.Â
"It's fine, I'm fine" he says and takes a deep breath, continuing on our drive and the car goes silent for a while.Â
"Did he really give you his number?" he mumbles, clearly still jealous. "No, but Hobi added me to the group chat" and he groans at the thought of it. "Great! Now I'm gonna have to pay more attention to what's going on in there" he whines and we continue on our journey laughing and teasing and singing and making fools out of ourselves the whole time.Â
I guess some people really are meant to be together. Who knew that that quiet little kid drawing with sidewalk chalk on the playground would be the answer to my forever...Â
The End... (lemme know if you guys want an epilogue hehe)

Honey II
Read Honey here | ~6.2k words
Warnings: Angst, fluff, pining, maybe a daddy-kink if you don't blink. There's a shitty guy, some jealous Harry (from said shitty guy as well as NIALL đ) and some mentions of self-care đ
Summary: You cannot flirt with my nanny. He texted Niall while Cece ate.
Someone should, Harry. By all means YOU should. But Iâll handle it if you cannot.
Harry scowled and threw his phone aside. âSorry mâgonna kill Uncle Niall, Cece,â he told her. âBut heâs stupid.â
The routine became easy. Breakfast with Harry, tummy time with Cece, cleaning during naptime, laundry at lunch time. At eleven in the morning, she sent Harry three pictures of his baby regardless of what she was doing which he didnât respond to other than reacting with a heart to each of the pictures.
Cece loved Miss Honey. Her smile was bright when she saw her and her giggle was coming easier and easier while she played with her.
Niall is stopping by to grab something I left. He was already out. You can let him in.
Okay, thank you for the heads up.
Other than delivery drivers, people didnât really come by. She hadnât had friends over not that she necessarily wanted to have them over... not after her first family. From then, it was always kind of weird to have people visit someone elseâs home to hang out with her. She preferred dinners or going to their houses. If Harry were to throw a party or cookout at his extravagant pool, she would invite her friendsâat least thatâs what she did with her previous familyâbut Harry didnât seem much like a party-thrower.
âHello?â The Irish voice sang into the house. âMiss Cece, where are you?â He called.
She smiled and brought the baby toward the front door holding her in front of her stomach. Cece giggled at the sight of Uncle Niall. âWhoâs that, Cece?â She asked pressing her lips on to the top of her soft hair. âIs that Uncle Niall? Did Uncle Niall come to see you?â She kicked her feet and Niall looked like he was melting as he took her from Miss Honey. âIs it this folder?â She asked. âI found it in the garage,ïżœïżœ she said. âIt must have slipped out of his bag. When I took Cece to the store, I was going to swing by myself."
Niall was in awe. The house was cleanâto be fair, it almost always was, but it was different now. Plus it smelled like the citrusy fall candle she was burning on the counter; only adding to the fresh clean feeling of his friendâs place. Whatever was cooking in the oven smelled delicious. âDo you... cook for him?â Niall asked.
She blushed. âWell, itâs mainly for me, but obviously there arenât a ton of recipes for one person, so I always have extra,â she rationalized. âI cooked for my old family.â
Niall bounced Cece as he looked around. There was a throw blanket on the sofa adorned with leaves and itâs fall yâall patterned across it. that wasnât there before. Along with some fall pillows. It matched the little pumpkins on the side tables and the leaf and flower centerpiece on the coffee table. Harry had decorations? âDid Harry buy those throw pillows?â
âI... I have this tendency to fall asleep on the sofa watching movies and wanted something softer than the sofa arm,â she felt weird explaining all this to Niall. âI should probably get them out of here and back in my room. Did Harry say something? He doesnât like it?â
Harry hadnât mentioned it. Which was insane because when Ceceâs mom wanted all new living room furniture in the middle of her pregnancy, Niall wasnât sure Harry was going to let her live at his house after all. Harry was very particular and liked things to be his way. âNo, no. Heâs fine. It just looks...cozy,â he said. âItâs nice heâs got a womanâs touch that he likes,â Niall said encouragingly.
Her phone vibrated on the counter and she glanced at her watch reading the message. Can you tell Niall to let go of my daughter and get his ass back here before I fire him?
She smiled sending a thumbs up in response. âI believe youâre going to be fired.â
âWhat a drama queen,â Niall muttered. âI love you more than Dada does,â he cooed and kissed Cece sweetly on the cheek. âYou should decorate the outside, too,â Niall said as he handed the baby back to her. âHarry would like it,â he smiled. âIf you have a ton of leftovers, send them for lunch with Harry tomorrow. With the way it smells, I bet it would taste delicious reheated as well... Bye Cece!â He waved and blew a kiss at her.
âSay bye Uncle Niall,â she cooed shaking her head at Harryâs best friend. She waved Ceceâs hand for her. âBye Uncle Niall.â
*
His office door slapped open against the wall, and he looked up from his desk even though he didnât need to.
âNiallâs here,â his secretary called. He rolled his eyes.
âYou love her,â Niall gushed.
âI do not,â Harry scowled defensively at his paperwork in front of him. âLove who?â
âYour nanny obviously.â
âI absolutely do not,â he shook his head. âI am not in love with someone I employ.â
âSo weâre not in love either?â Niall frowned.
âDo you have something you need, Mr. Horan?â Harry deadpanned.
Niall rolled his eyes. âHarry, sheâs sweet, funny, and intelligent,â he listed. âNot to mention your house has never looked cleaner nor cozier and she can cook.â
Harry used to order out each night since he was too tired to cook when he got home. Then with Cece, it made even more sense. But now, since he was very much glued to his schedule of coming home on time for dinner so he could see Cece before bed and relieve Miss Honey of her duties for the evening.
He hadnât anticipated her making dinner for him. In fact, he hadnât anticipated much of anything she did for him. He thought taking care of Cece was going to be it. The cleaning and cooking was beyond what he expected.
He ignored Niall.
âAnd hello? Sheâs good with Cece.â
She was great with Cece actually. But he wasnât going to give into Niallâs teasing. He continued looking at his computer screen ignoring all the reasons Harry thought she was perfect as well but had to ignore because he would rather die than ruin what he had with her for the sake of his daughter. There was no one better to trust Cece withâeven after a month or so of her working, it was obvious. He was so sure there wasnât anyone better. âAlso, she was going in the pool when I got there, so she was in this itty, bitty bikiniââ Harryâs gaze snapped to Niall and his eye twitched as he scowled again. âI was joking, but I think Iâve proven my point.â
âIâm not in love,â he grumbled. Harry didnât love anyone beyond his baby girl, his company, and his family.
âSay it all you want. But Iâm not the one that got his underwear in a twist over the thought of seeing her in a bikini when itâs not summer anymore." Harry ignored him still. "You let her decorate," he reminded him.
"We have similar tastes," Harry mumbled not wanting to let on that he didn't give two shits if the house was decorated but when he came home from work watching her sip hot apple cider on his sofa and reading a book to Cece, he wanted to move to a place where it was fall all year round.
"Are you going to let her decorate the outside of your house for Halloween?â
He was not in love. âItâs a holiday,â he reminded Niall. âI want Cece t'have aââ
âUh-huh. Sure. Itâs definitely for Cece... by the way, make sure I get the leftovers from dinner tomorrow. I already asked Miss Honey,â he said. âHereâs your folder,â he laid it on his desk and left with a wave and mischievous smile. "She found it in the garage and was going to swing by herself. Because in case you haven't noticed, she's perfect."
If there were leftovers of whatever delicious thing she had decided to cook, Harry was going to throw them in the middle of the road on his way to work just to spite him.
*
The weekend was unfortunately eventful.
Cece fussed a ton. Harry sighed when the monitor alerted him to her waking. He got up and headed to her crib where he spent several minutes rubbing her little belly as he watched her. âYâneed tâsleep, Miss Cecelia,â he smiled at her tiredly. It was nearly one in the morning, and he had been fortunate enough to have Cece sleeping soundly overall for the last couple months. But for whatever reason, her little cries woke him up today.
He checked his phone and noted there was an alert from the front door camera. He saw two people standing under the entrance. His favorite nanny and a man that he didnât recognize.
Given the situation, this was suddenly and very much her house as much as Harry's. As evident by the pumpkin décor on the steps visible in the video as well. So she could do what she wanted. Even if that meant going on a date.
Even if that meant Harry was painfully aware of how upset that made him.
Her arms were wrapped around her stomach and Harry felt something painful ache in his stomach. She looked completely uncomfortable. The guy leaned closer toward her, forcing her to step back until she was against the side of the entryway. Harryâs blood boiled. She pressed a hand against his chest, maintaining distance between them. He couldnât take his eyes away from the screen and briefly noted he forgot about Ceceâs waking. But Cece was asleep again. Therefore, Harry was able to worry about the other woman that lived in his house. He quickly sent her a text before he kept his eyes glued to the camera. If this was some kind of flirting thing, fine. He would confront the boiling jealousy in the comfort of his own bed. But Harry had a sister, female friends, female employees and now a daughter. He knew when someone was uncomfortable.
The camera signaled someone was outside, so I checked the feed... Are you okay?
He didn't want to listen in. There was a boundary he wasnât willing to cross. Fortunately, she pulled her phone from her pocket and read the message--clearly looking for a distraction and further fueling his worry. Without answering, she tucked her phone back in her pocket and Harry thought that he was overreacting. She was fine. He just needed to go to bed.
But then, she shook her head repeatedly, slowly.
Harry dropped his phone on Ceceâs floor where it landed on the rug with a quiet thud. He took off downstairs nearly missing the last step before he was at the front door, yanking it out of the way blindingly fast. She jumped at the sudden movement in the middle of the nightâeven though she only saw Harryâs message seconds before. âIâm sorry to interrupt,â he lied. He was very grateful to interrupt. âCece has been awake, and Iâve triedââ
âNo problem,â she rushed out not even glancing at the man. She brushed passed Harry hurriedly.
The guy blinked in surprise at her quick departure. He tried to peek behind Harryâs frame that blocked most of his view. âIâll callââ
Harry smacked the door shut and waited for him to leaveâwatched him walk to the end of the driveway where he waited for an Uber for three minutes. She sighed, putting her hands on the back of her head, breathing heavily. âHarry, Iâm so sorry,â she whispered. She began pacing behind him, but Harryâs eyes didnât move from the end of his driveway. âHe was completely fine and then I needed to Uber andââ
âI told you not tâUber,â he scowled at the window beside the door waiting for the man to disappear.
âWell, it was one in the morning, and I donât know how your driver situation worksââ
âThen you call me,â his voice was rougher than he wanted it to be. The thought of something happening to her hurt. Hurt a lot.
She ignored him, feeling guilty but trying to explain her side of things. âMy friend had left with a guy she met, and she was my ride. I didnât even know she left,â her voice cracked. âI Uber all the time, Harry. Alone at night, I donât care...itâs... whatever... But he was insistent. He wanted to make sure I made it home safely. Which didnât set off any alarm bells and I pride myself on having a good gauge of that kind of thing. So, I didnât think anything of it. I thought he was just being a gentleman. When he got out of the car and the driver took off...â she shook her head. âIâm just so sorry. I didnât knowââ Her voice cracked again, harsher this time. Then she pressed her lips into a line as she looked down. âIâm so sorry,â she whispered trying to force the tears to stay behind her lids.
The man was gone from the edge of his driveway. Harry shook his head confused how she could be apologizing for literally nothing. She didnât do anything wrong. âWhat are yâapologizing for?â
âFor him coming back here! I donât bring people back to the house Iâm living in for free. I would never want to put someone like that within a three-mile radius of Cece. I was just trying to get him to leave and Iââ her voice choked off again.
âLove,â he said gently. âSâokay,â he promised reassuringly. âYâcan invite friends over. I wouldnât really want him, but it sounds like weâre on the same page.â
She sniffled, breaking Harryâs heart. âIâm so sorry,â she repeated.
âDid he hurt you?â Harry asked. She shook her head. âI need a verbal answer, love.â
âNo, he didnât hurt me,â she whispered. Barely loud enough for him to hear.
âYouâre sure?â
She nodded. âI was just trying to think of a way to get inside without him following me,â she whimpered. âHe just wouldnât shut up about how nice it would be to...â her tears started to flow. She shook her head. âIâm so sorry,â she sobbed.
Harry didnât think. He wrapped his arms around her and rubbed up and down her back. âSâokay,â he promised. âYouâre okay,â he repeated. âYou could have banged on the door or something,â he assured her.
She sniffled. âI didnât want to wake the baby.â
He smiled softly. Of course she didnât. âPlease call the driver next time. Day or night. I shouldâve told yâthat,â he murmured. âIt would make me feel better. And heâll only let yâhave someone else in the car with you if yâsay so,â he promised.
She nodded. âOkay.â
âYouâre allowed tâhave a life here, love,â he promised. âFriends, dates, whatever yâwant.â
âWell, Iâm not dating for a while,â that was fine by Harry. Gently, she pulled from Harryâs embrace, and he felt completely cold. It wasnât from his lack of clothes either.
She wiped her eyes. âDo yâwant me to...get yâanything?â He asked.
She shook her head of the thought. âNo, Iâm sorry to have interrupted your sleepââ
âDonât be. But yâdidnât. Cece was up, I was checking on her when I saw mâphoneâs notification,â he explained. âBut even if she wasnât up... I wouldnât have minded,â he promised. âReally.â
Her eyes trailed over Harryâs body. It hadnât occurred to her that he was wearing nothing but boxers. His shoulders were broad, his arms were taut with lean muscles that didnât bulge massively but were still beautifully sculpted. His hair was in disarray, probably from his pillow. His stomach was flat, ridged with muscles, and covered with tattoos. âI didnât realize you had so many tattoos.â
He smirked. âYeah, um...guilty pleasure of mine.â
Harry really shouldnât say pleasure around her. It made her think of things that would give her immense pleasure. Like the boxers that outlined a plump dick (which wasnât even fully hard it seemed. Jesus Christ, she wondered if she was going to get pregnant just from looking at it) and showed off his muscular thighs. She shook her head trying to keep her eyes focused on anything other than Harryâs groin area. âI um... thank you,â she whispered. âFor getting me.â
âOf course, love. Any time,â he promised. âI know yâwork for me and I respect your commitment and seriousness tâyour job. Itâs something I value in mâemployees at the office too. But Niall also works with me too and heâs mâbest friend and heâs very comfortable asking me tâbail him out of dicey situations. So if yâneed something, yâjusâ have tâask.â
She nodded. âOkay... thank you,â she repeated. âGood night, Harry.â
âGood night, Miss Honey.â
*
Harry was frustrated. It was a busy time of year, so he had been staying an hour, sometimes two later than he was supposed to. He ate reheated food that she had cooked (which was still delicious) but mostly he was upset because he wasnât getting to see Cece before bed. The pictures she sent in the afternoon and just before bed helped but didnât make up for the real thing. He missed his daughter.
And honestly? If he was real with himself, he missed eating dinner with the pretty woman that was kind enough to make dinner in the first place. He missed watching an episode of whatever show she liked before she went for a swim in the pool and then to read in her room. Up until Harry had started staying late, she had gone for a swim every night and Harry was in awe. The pool was heated sure, but the air was cold. But she was insistentâall to get her laps in so she could work out. Now, when he got home, she was already in her room. Only coming out to say hello, give the lowdown on bedtime and making sure he knew which food was for Niall the next morning.
It seemed she wasnât dating, so at least Harry had that. Even though he told her she could, he was glad she wasn't. It wasnât right or fair of him to feel that way, but he couldnât help it. The few times he saw her out in the pool in a bathing suit (that was not an itty-bitty bikini like Niall had described) he felt possessive. If she had an itty-bitty bikini, Harry thought he might lose his mind--the pretty one piece with a cutout created by a crisscrossing bow around her middle was tantalizing enough. He didnât let his gaze linger for long (he didnât want to be creepy) but he thought back to the guy that followed her home and terrified her. No one deserved her kindness. No one deserved to see her vulnerable and alone in anything less than what she wanted. She made Cece feel safe. She made Harry feel safe.
âWhy donât you go home?â Niall suggested. âYouâve been staying late all week, and I know you miss Cece. Take a half day, go spend some time with your daughter. Or even Miss Honey,â he wiggled his eyebrows.
Harry shook his head. âI already took a ton of time offââ
âFor a very good reason! Harry,â Niall sighed. âYou have an adorable baby daughter. Sheâs only going to be little for so long. You need to enjoy it.â
With that thought, Harry couldnât get out of his office fast enough. He entered the house using the keycode. It didnât even faze her. If someone used the code, then she assumed it was someone who was allowed to be there. But also, the sound of the vacuum cleaner was humming and creating more noise than she could have heard with the door opening and closing. But she must have sensed it because she glanced over her shoulder and smiled finishing the spot she was working on. Harry could make out the wrap around her body while she vacuumed. Wearing Cece like a body ornament. It was adorable. âI could hire someone for that, yâknow,â he called over the droning noise.
She turned the vacuum off and turned around showing off the little babe at the same time. She kicked her feet. Harry thought his heartstrings were going to snap with how much love flooded him. Someone that loved him so unconditionally. It felt like he didnât deserve it.
âYouâre home early,â she smiled and loosened the wrap around her and pulled the headphones off her little head to keep her ears safe from the vacuum sound. âIs Dada home to play, Cece?â She smiled excitedly. âIs Dada here to play?â She repeated, passing her to Harry. Cece immediately settled into his embrace, making his heart hurt. Niall was right, this was well worth it.
âI was just going to do laundry,â she said. âDo you want anything to eat?â She asked.
âI have people who could do your laundry,â he told her, his lips attached to the crown of Ceceâs head. âAnd yâdonât need tâdo my laundry either,â he frowned. âOr Ceceâs.â
âYes, but you are saving money by letting me do it. Iâm all about coupons. Iâm like a BOGO sale, you know? For a business owner, you donât see a good deal when presented.â
He rolled his eyes. Niall listed a lot of great qualities about her. But he didnât list how stubborn she was. Especially when it came to things like using the driver or doing his laundry. Harry wanted to shake her sometimes.
âNiall said you have a business trip next weekend?â
His eyes snapped to meet hers. âYou talk to Niall?â Like regularly? Casually?
He was so going to fire him.
âYes,â she smiled and then laughed to herself, a private joke Harry wasn't privy to.
âWhat?â
âItâs nothing. Niallâs just funny.â
Harry was going to kill him. Then fire him.
âOh?â
âHe just he tells me heâs going to marry me if I keep making such good food for him to eat.â
So fired.
âSpeaking of,â she continued while Harry let that linger in silence. âLittle miss needs to eat,â she said. âI can do it if you wantââ
âThank you,â he was sincerely appreciative. âBut I have it covered,â he smiled. âYou can take the rest of the afternoon to yourself if youâd like.â
She smiled. âThat would be great. I just have a few more things to do but Iâve been dying to go to the bookstore. Theyâre having a sale on all paperbacks,â her eyes glowed.
Harry smiled. âSounds lovely.â
âJust shout if you need something.â
Harry went to the kitchen, took the bottle that was warmed and ready on the counter (she must have just put it out while she was vacuuming nearby).
You cannot flirt with my nanny. He texted Niall while Cece drank from her bottle.
Someone should, Harry. By all means YOU should. But Iâll handle it if you cannot.
Harry scowled and threw his phone aside at the pretty fall throw pillows. âSorry mâgonna kill Uncle Niall, Cece,â he told her. âBut heâs stupid.â
*
Harry often found himself defaulting to her and all her knowledge. She had a background in psychology, as that was what she studied in collegeâa concentration in child development. All of which he knew from her application. Harry was well educated, but he would never feign to have more knowledge that he didnât have.
Which is why when Cece continued to fuss and fuss more than she had since sheâd been born, Harry didnât know what to do.
âLove?â He knocked on the door. It was two in the morning, and she was obviously well off the clock. Harry battled for several minutes trying to decide if it was worth it. He didn't want to bother her, but frankly, he was exhausted. But she answered anyway, hurriedly.
She was wearing a pair of leggings and a blue tank top. One that was thin and made Harryâs stomach ache with desire. Something lower ached with desire too. But fortunately, he had enough foresight to put on a pair of sweats before waking her. She rubbed her eye looking like a toddler coming to their parentsâ bedroom. Her hair tie had fallen from her braid letting the strands fall haphazardly out of the twist.
He thought about kissing her. God he shouldnât have allowed himself to be alone in the middle of the night with her.
Gratefully, Cece called out. Reminding him of why he had woken her up in the first place.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âCan you check on her? Sheâs so fussy. I donât know if mâdoing something wrong?â It killed him that the baby was fussing. He hated to wake her almost as much. However, she didnât even bat an eye to it and hurried to Ceceâs room. âIâm sorry,â he said softly.
âDonât be,â she yawned. âI was... actually reading,â she smiled. âI shouldnât be, but I canât put the book down.â
How was that so hot sounding? It shouldnât have been. He had watched her read on the couch a hundred times. But it was hot. So hot he was glad there was an extra layer to hide how it made him feel.
Harry was glad he was going away for the weekend. He needed to clear his head of the pretty girl that was invading his every thought when he had no right to think of her that way. âOh yeah, Miss Cece just wants to party, huh, sweet girl?â She smiled and pulled her from the crib and hummed. âDaddy has to work early tomorrow, Cece. can have our own party tomorrow, okay? But Daddyâs got to sleep,â she whispered. âI know youâre a party girl,â she cooed. âBut you canât party when youâre sleepy,â she reminded her.
Harry was not thinking of it like that but the way she said Daddy (twice) made his chest ache with something he wasnât used to feeling. It probably didnât help that her tank top did little to hide two hardened, protruding bumps on her chest that made Harry want to lick his lips (and her). He was going to turn the heat up before bed because it must have been chilly.
Harry tried to keep his gaze PG, but she was so pretty, he was thanking himself for the moment of clarity he had that made him put on pants because he wouldnât be able to hide the way he felt about seeing her sleepy and beautiful.
Fuck Niall and his stupid observations. He is so fired when I get back from my trip.
After a few more hums and coos, Cece fell back to sleep. She kissed her hair and gently laid her back in the crib. âSheâs almost four months, of courseâshe might be hitting a little sleep regression. Itâs perfectly normal. Iâll do some research and see what I can do to help alleviateââ
âThank you,â he felt exhausted. Sleep deprived and sad about leavingâeven if it was just for the weekend. âSeriously. Thank you.â
She smiled. âOf course, Harry. Thatâs what Iâm here for. Probably a good time to stop my book too,â she reached out and squeezed his arm. âGet some sleep. Iâll have breakfast in the morning before you fly out,â she promised.
âI didn't mean t'interrupt your book,â he said softly. âY'donât have t'get up earlier, she can lay in bed for a bit,â he offered.
âOh no, itâs fine. Iâll just nap when she naps,â she shrugged. "Cece will want to see you before you leave," she smiled so effortlessly. Like Cece would really know if he was gone. But the way she said it made him believe it. She squeezed Harry's forearm. âGoodnight, Harry,â she said sweetly.
*
Harry was staring at Cece like she was going to disappear while he fed her. She gently pushed the cup of tea she made him (with three sugars) in front of him. âI havenât left her once for this long,â Harry reminded her.
âI know,â she frowned. âSheâll be fine,â she assured him.
âI know.â
âReally, Harry. I wonât let anything happen to her. I love her beyond belief,â she promised.
But Harry felt something creep into his stomach. Something that felt like an overwhelming urge to kiss her. A way that had him aching to make Cece a sibling and he thought that maybe he could shift the real estate in his heart that was reserved for his company and open it for someone else. He shook his head as if a bug had flown in his eye. Ridding himself of the unrealistic thought that was wriggling it's way into ever inch of his mind.
No, he didnât love her.
That would be ridiculous.
It took her two weeks to figure out what Harry liked to eat for breakfast most. As stubborn as Harry was, she was more so. Every day she made something new: omelets, waffles, French toast, everything he could think of, she tried. But when she told him she was going to make crepes, he stopped her and told her: just scrambled eggs and toast.
So, she made him scrambled eggs, toast, and sliced up some avocado on the side. âThank you, love. Y'really didnât need to.â
âI have it on good authority you rarely eat until like two in the afternoon if I donât feed you,â she smiled. âHappy to help,â she promised. Because thatâs what she did. Helped and helped and helped.
âWhy donât yâtell your friend mâgoing tâfire him if yâdonât stop talking tâhim.â
She laughed and Harry enjoyed the sound more than he thought possible. âNiall?! Shouldnât you fire me?â
He shook his head. âNo way, love. Youâre the best there is for Cece, youâre stuck here,â he smirked. Her heart fluttered and she realized she hadnât spoken as Harry glanced at her. He cleared his throat. âI mean... as long as you like it here,â he attempted to recover (poorly).
âI love it here,â she nodded excitedly. That beautiful smile that Harry had honed in on during her interview spread across her beautiful face. âThank you.â
âYouâre welcome. Thank you,â he smiled. Genuinely.
It took every ounce of Harryâs shaky control to keep himself from saying he would miss her too, while he was gone. Maybe as much as he would miss Cece.
*
It was only a two-night stay. But the first night was hardest. He called as soon as his last meeting finished. He watched her play with Cece through the video call. When her phone died, it took five minutes for her to get rebooted. She grabbed her laptop to continue the call and set it up on the floor for Harry to see Cece during her tummy time.
Cece didnât seem to notice much that Harry was on the computer screen. In fact, she didnât pay much attention to either of them while they chatted at all. Even when Cece fell asleep, he found himself asking her all kinds of questions about school and work. How she decided to become a nanny and the like. He asked about her family and if she missed them. Her family was still hours and hours away from her, so he was confused as to why she wouldnât move with the previous family she nannied for.
âTruthfully?â She sighed. âI love this coast so much,â she smiled fondly. âI grew up here and I went to school here. I loved my nanny family, but thereâs just something about it here,â she explained. âMy family kind of... they don't..." she sighed. "They don't visit much and I think they would come up to visit even less if I lived across the country. I adore my family. They mean so much to me. It would have been hard to be even further away from them.â
Harry wanted to hold her and never let go. This woman loved hard. Harder than anyone he knew.
Eventually, when it was so much later than it should have been to be chatting on the phone with someone he was employing to take care of his daughter, without talking about said daughter, Harry said goodnight and got ready for bed. As he brushed his teeth, he opened his text messages.
Niall...
Yes, Harry? Itâs eleven and Iâm in bed.
... sheâs perfect.
Who Cece?
...
No shit, Harry. Youâre an idiot.
When Harry closed his eyes, he couldnât help but think of her.
*
When Harry returned home, he rushed through the door, dropping his bags and hurrying to the living room. Harry was on the floor beside the coffee table where he showered Cece in kisses all over her little face. The only pause he had was looking at the lovely girl giggling on the couch at their reunion. âUgh, Cece, youâre making me jealous! I wish someone would be that happy to see me when they get home,â she giggled.
But Harry couldnât let her think that for a moment longer. He crossed the room, pulled the book from her hands and straddled her, locking her in place. He cupped her face before she could question anything and kissed her. Kissed her long and hard. Eventually he nestled his hips between her thighs. âI like you so much. Iâm so happy tâsee you when I get home,â he groaned peppering her face and skin with more kisses. âI trust you with everything. You have my whole world most of the day. And... when I get home mâso happy t'see Cece. But love, mâthrilled t'see you as wellâ
âHarry,â she whispered. âSheâs right there."
âShe's not looking,â his voice was husky as he pulled on the neck of the blue tank top that stared in all his dreams. He tugged it down her chest a bit hoping to see those pretty, hardenedâ
The phone call waking him up for the day put him nearly in a cold sweat. âUgh,â he moaned reaching blindly for the nightstand for the phone. He pulled the phone to his ear. âHello?â He grumbled.
âHello, Mr. Styles this is your wake-up calââ
He smacked the phone back into the receiver and begged for the dream to come back before it went away. What was underneath that tank top? He glanced at the clock. If he fucked his hand, he wouldnât have time to shave. That wasnât very business owner of him. Or maybe it was. He was CEO, the meetings wouldnât start without him.
âFuck it,â he muttered and wrapped his hand around his hard dick. Maybe he shouldnât have, but he pretended he knew what was hiding beneath the thin tank top of the woman who lived in his house.
*
The weather fucked him royally. He was supposed to be home that evening. Supposed to be eating dinner with his little baby and the pretty nanny. It felt completely unfair that the weather had made it so he would be stuck in a stupid airport, and he would have to go directly to work in the morning.
âHey, itâs okay,â she promised. âMaybe you can take the day off later in the week,â she suggested. âActually... I was going to ask you if it was possible for you to do that anyway, so maybe this works out. Or maybe your momââ He knew she was trying to distract him. Which he was grateful for but he was still so frustrated.
"What do y'need?" He asked, his voice stiff. He didn't mean for it to be. He was just upset.
She cleared her throat. âI just have some appointments Iâve been rescheduling over and over trying to find a day that's best for them. I donât want to make you take the day off, but I know youâve been nervous about your trip. Iâve been waitingââ
âOf course,â he said hurriedly. âWhich day?â
âWednesday, if possible. If not I can reschedule again.â
âSure,â heâd take the whole week off if she asked. Cece time and helping the perfect angel? She didnât need to say anything else.
âThank you, Harry," the gratitude in her voice made him ache.
âYouâve worked nonstop for almost two months, love. Yâdo more than I ever expected. Sâleast I could do. Plus, staying home with mâdaughter isnât a bad thing.â
She smiled. âShe misses you,â she promised. Harry was pretty sure Cece wouldnât know if he was away or not; work or overnight stay irrelevant. But it was nice she was saying it for his benefit. âShe does, I swear,â she continued, somehow understanding his silence. âEspecially at bedtime and when she wakes up. Little Miss doesnât sleep well without you here,â she cooed. Harry imagined her holding the baby on his couch looking utterly comfortable and natural.
âWell tell her I miss her, love her, and kiss her for me too.â
She pressed a bunch of kisses to her skin loud enough for Harry to hear and that soft little giggle as well. Harry smiled, feeling marginally better about his cancelled flight. âSee you tomorrow, love.â
âCan you say, bye bye Daddy,â she whispered. âCome on you can do it,â she encouraged. It was much too early and of course she knew that, but Harry loved that she tried anyway.
He wanted to tell Cece to give her a kiss from him as well.

This is weird- it's a big 1918 bank building in Duluth, MN, but they designed it with 1 bedroom and 5 baths. Asking $499K. Oh, and if you're a teal lover, this is the home for you.
They painted every bit of the wainscoting teal.
The main floor has an open concept living room/kitchen. There's a nice loft above.
The kitchen cabinetry is also teal.
Looking at the living room area from the kitchen, there's another loft on the other end of the building.
Looks like a small safe here.
There's also a little water fountain here.
The vault is still here and it looks like it been all shined up, too.
The original gate is propped up against the wall, and all of the safe deposit boxes are intact and shiny. Looks like they store the liquor in here. Some of the boxes can fit wine bottles.
The other vault is a pantry.
The bedroom is right off the main area.
It doesn't appear to have a closet.
This bath is nice.
The small loft over the bedroom has a built-in entertainment center.
There's this small room, too, with a built-in bench.
A small room and a bath behind the kitchen.
They've got some clothing storage under the stairs.
Plus another bath.
I thought that the lofts would be larger.
You can see the little window up here.
Behind the wall is another room- you can just see a glimpse of the window on the right- that is set up as a home office.
Now, we're down in the basement. The doors look extra secure and there's an old gate, too.
They've got a hot tub with stairs down here, and a little exercise area.
A workshop is all set up.
Plus a garage.
In addition to the garage, there's parking for more cars.
Is that the power plant for the building, on the left, or is it a high voltage thing belonging to the utility company?
Aside from the grassy area around the building, there's this vast former parking lot on the .60 acre property.

Kylian Mbappe x Reader
Description: All you want is to be your boyfriends passenger princess? Keep dreaming
MDNI
Smut 18+ only
Youâve grown to be jealous, all of your friends boyfriends drove them around, calling them their âpassenger princessâ. You, on the other hand, had a passenger prince. It wasnât news to anyone that Kylian had never gotten his license, in fact, he preferred it that way. Always saying something along the lines of âWhy do I need it cherie? I have a driver who could take me?â Bless his drivers heart, that poor man had spent countless hours behind a wheel. Of course that didnât go unseen to Kylian, giving the man a generous check for Christmas, and a month off to rest. Which is exactly why you were now the designated driver.
âLove do you need to go now? Canât we just lay in bed for another hour or 2?â You groaned, covering your eyes with your bare arm. Kylian was a dedicated man, which is one of the qualities you most admired about him. He wouldnât be the man he is without dedication and his strong work ethic. Which is why, during his Christmas break, when there is no training he is nagging about being driven to the stadium to practice even if that meant doing so alone.
Pulling his shirt over his head and down, covering his stomach he walks over to you, a gentle hand removing your arm. âPromise when we get home we can lay in bed all you want amour. But, I canât lose momentum, I have a big season with the new clubâ Lightly placing kisses on your face and collarbone, only stopping to laugh at your exaggerated sighs.
All you wanted was to sleep in with Kylian, but you understand the pressure he has on his shoulders. A new club, a legacy and expectations to live up to, yet he was the most carefree man youâve met. Dragging your feet you make your way into the bathroom, quickly brushing your teeth and washing your face. Fixing some pieces of hair around your face you see him through the bathroom mirror, kneeled in the corner of your bedroom tying his shoes.
Between the compression shirt and randomly being more needy than usual, the sight left you wanting to really stay in the bed all day. Finally positioning your hair the way you want you see Kylian smiling at you through the mirror before going to the kitchen, you hear the fridge door open about five times, which he only does when heâs been waiting for so long he doesnât know what to do with himself.
December in Madrid was probably one of the coldest youâve ever experienced, the cold only adding more fuel to wanting to stay home. Pressing the auto start of the car Kylian had gifted you, even though you insisted the car you had before him was in perfect condition. You picked up an extra water and your headphones before heading into the garage to begin the 15 minute drive to the stadium.
Since driving back and forth didnât seem convenient, you opted for wearing a workout jumpsuit under a matching sweatpants and hoodie set. If you were going to be a designated driver you would at-least do something productive while waiting.
âReady bella?â Kylian said as he closed the car door, being embraced by the warmth of the heater and your playlist in the background. Nodding and placing the expensive vehicle in reverse you backed out of the garage and onto the street. Lately, with all the work Kylian had been doing plus an increase in appetite he had grown extremely big, his compressions shirts hugging in all the right places.
Before you knew it you were pulling into the parking lot of the stadium. Parking in an empty lot,which you expected, Kylian extended his arm over the console and grabbed your knee. âI promise I wonât take more than an hour and a half babyâ giving a reassuring squeeze. Simply placing your hand over his and nodding, you couldnât keep your eyes off his arms.
~
After Kylian went into the field you made your way into the gym, which like the rest of the stadium, was empty. Taking off your sweatshirt you began stretching, you didnât claim to be a pro in the gym but you knew the basics and did workouts here and there.
Now, this wasnât just any gym of course, it had all the fancy equipment and all the weights. Putting on your head phones you began with the stair master. It started off fine, but at the 15 minute mark you grew increasingly hot, desperate to cool off your body temperature you removed the sweats.
Left in your jumpsuit you could really check yourself out in the mirror, the tight workout set hugging and snatching all the right areas. Looking behind you in the mirror you noticed the small pump the stair master caused. Deciding you might as well go all out since Kylian wouldnât be done for another hour or so you made your way over to the smith machine to begin working out your glutes.
45 minutes of lifting went by fast, in fact you were so consumed with trying to beat your previous weight and reps you didnât even notice Kylian standing a few feet behind you. Lifting your head and placing the weight on the bar you see him, shamelessly checking you out.
âDonât mind me, just enjoying the view amourâ he spoke with his arms crossed maintaining eye contact through the mirror. Shaking your head and grabbing a small towel and that was hanging off of a nearby bar you turn around while wiping your hands, âIs it always hot in here? I feel like my skin is going to melt offâ
He laughs, extending his arm to wrap it around your waist, âLetâs get you cooled off then cherieâ Even if Kylian wasnât the tallest compared to others he never failed to make you feel small by his wide body. Playing coy you rolled your eyes at his comment âEager to leave are we now?â
To build tension you deciding to bend over to pick up the sweatpants and hoodie that were folded neatly. You made sure when bending over you do it in a way that showed the outline of your thong. By the time you stand up fully heâs grabbing your hand and dragging you out the gym.
Small french curses leave his mouth as he leads the way to the car. The black luxury vehicle still where you left it, in an empty lot. Youâve never been so glad you had that car, as per Kylians request got it tinted to ensure your safety and his when you drive together.
Going in the car through the designated doors to not raise suspicion to anyone watching the cameras, you quickly throw the pair of sweats in the back seat. Bending over and arching over the console Kylian couldnât resist seeing your ass in that angle, letting his hands move on instinct and placing a light slap.
Placing a hand on his thigh while now leaning over the console facing him, you close the gap. Slow kissing to begin, your hand creeps closer to his crotch area. Feeling the hard imprint through his joggers you decide to not waste the time you donât have.
Pulling back only slightly to look down to lower his sweats and boxers. His erection causing it to spring and hit his lower stomach. âTake whatâs yours amourâ he says analyzing your face. Spitting in the palm of your hand you lower that hand on to the tip, closing the gap between you two at the same time.
Your soft and wet hand circling the tip while kissing him deeper was starting to make his head hazy. Slow and small movements turned into a full handjob, the wet sounds turning you on causing you to rub your thighs to relieve some pressure.
Squeezing tighter at the base and slowly swirling around at the top, hearing groans as you catch your breath from the intense kiss. Pulling your hair to one side ready to lower your head and begin using your mouth Kylian grabs your wrist which was still jerking him off, âNot gonna, fucking hell- last. Please need to feel you nowâ
And who were you to deny him, his hands eagerly finding your hips and helping you lift over the console to straddle him. Pulling the jumpsuit down to get your breasts to spill over the top he began playing and pinching with your nipples. Content with the reaction he was getting from you, rubbing and grinding down on him.
Losing focus on your nipples and rubbing your pussy from the outside of the jumpsuit, which he knew he wasnât going to be able to get you out of the one piece. Thinking quickly he grabbed the hem of the shorts, stretching them to the point they were unwearable.
Now that one short was loose enough he rolled up over one ass cheek, leaving your thong exposed as well. Poor damp panties leaving nothing to the imagination, he could see and feel through the soaked material how puffy your lips and clit were.
Grabbing the sorry excuse of underwear he pulled it to the side, noticing the sticky residue that stuck to it as he removed it. âWhatâs got you this wet baby?â he said as his thumb found its place on your clit again. To lost in the pleasure you didnât answer immediately.
The scene above him was nothing less than pornographic, boobs spilled out while you rocked trying to keep up with the rhythm of his thumb and his dick laying on your thigh, twitching from the view.
âY-you, fast please Kyâ you moan, using one hand on the consol for balance and the other to play with your nipples. Speeding up he could see your poor hole clenching around nothing, hinting to you approaching your climax.
Grabbing his dick from the base he brought the head and tapped your puffy wet lips with it, the sensation causing you to jerk lightly. âYouâre soaked baby, leaking all over meâ he said rubbing himself up and down.
âNeed it now please, just put it inâ you begged, your hand coming down to his hand and angling his tip with your hole. Slight pressure making his tip enter you, the stretch feeling too good. The feeling of being stretched to the brim and it was just the beginning.
With your face scrunched you lowered yourself even more, looking down to see where you two became one. Moaning lowly until you reached the bottom, sitting snugly on top of Kylian. Not having the energy to bounce just yet you began to rock back and forth. Between the wetness and tightness and the jiggle of your boobs with each movement, Kylian felt he could cum right there.
âShit, just like that. Take this dick, itâs all yoursâ he groaned, grabbing the fat on your hips, slightly lifting you. With that hint, you began to lightly bounce, moaning louder now. The angle had his tip hitting the deepest part, and every time you bottomed out his trimmed pubic area brushing your clit in a way that would have you seeing stars soon.
Light bouncing turned to just fucking your self on him, using him. At this point you were sure the car was rocking back and forth, but you could care less. âPerfecting fucking pussy, squeezing me- shit, just rightâ he moaned slapping your ass.
Clenching at the praise didnât go unnoticed, he pulled the one piece, making you lay directly on him as he wrapped his arms around your back. âFilthy fucking girl, like when I tell you how good this pussy squeezes me?â He grunted in your ear as he began rutting himself up to you.
Curses leaving your mouth you desperately try to reach for something to squeeze, the pressure building as his thrusts become harder and faster. Sneaking your hand between your bodies you began toying with your clit.
The sudden realization that someone could see the car moving, and realize that Kylian is claiming you in the moment caused your wetness to increase. Obviously his team members knew you were dating, but it really solidified it that everyone would see he claimed you as his.
Feeling possessive you began kissing his neck and face, lightly sucking marks on his collar bones. Between the stretch and the depths he was reaching you began bucking down, meeting his thrusts. âTell me itâs mine baby, only mineâ you moaned gripping his arms.
Your statement causing his thrusts to become more erratic and for him to switch back to his native tongue. You quickly lifted up, seeing his dick twitch and glistening. Placing your feet down on either side you really began riding, âGonna fucking cum, oh shit- so goodâ you moaned back arched as his hands found your hips.
âCum on it baby, make a mess. Mark it as yoursâ he said through gritted teeth, trying to make you cum first before he did. As the intense orgasim rushed through you, you laid flat once again. Kylian kissing your forehead as he grabbed your ass and lifted and put it down.
Leaning on the console you could see white rings on his dick, which he noticed as well. Seeing you finally came he sloppily bucked his hips up, as you milked him dry.
Sitting still, with him still inside you, you felt him tap your butt. âCome on amour, letâs go homeâ
Groaning from the laziness you felt post sex and exhaustion in your legs you whined, âKylian for the New Year get your license. I canât even feel my legsâ

The Curse of Sight, Part 7
DCxDP
[Part 6] [Part 7] [Part 8]
[Ao3 Link] (Registered Ao3 users only)
Summary: When Wes Weston meets Tim Drake-Wayne, the dots start connecting. And those dots form a bat.
xxXxx
After a phone call with his mom to confirm that itâs alright for Wes to stay the night, Rebecca leaves with the AV equipment in a Wayne vehicle with a WE driver from HQ. (She also absconds off with a few extra Alfred Pennyworth cookies, but no one calls her out on it.) Wes is then left alone with Tim for a grand tour of Wayne Manor.Â
The estate is large and sprawling, but Wes is nothing if not observant and adaptive, and he makes quick work of memorizing the layout. Heâs careful to make mental notes of places that could potentially hold secret passages.Â
Part of Batmanâs whole thing was that he had a Batcave, right? Surely itâs connected to the Manor. The entrance is most likely on the first floor for easier access if the Cave is underground, which is the most logical conclusion given that the Batcave has to hold a computer with enough processing power to be the legendary Batcomputer, all the Bat-vehicles, plus any trophies Batman has collected in his lucrative career as a vigilante. Also, if itâs as much of a cave as the name implies, itâs got to be underground.Â
Not that Wes wants to go exploring. This investigation is just so he can mentally note what areas to avoid and always have plausible deniability.Â
âOh, no, Mr. Bruce Wayne, sir, I didnât see you come out of a bookcase secret passageway with bruises that strangely match up with Batmanâs. You see, I was over on the bench in the Wayne Gardens, much too far away from the Wayne Library to see any secret nightlife activities. Iâm just a simple teenage boy, haha, please donât steal my kneecaps. Anyway, what did you think of My Immortal? â
Yes. Foolproof and non-suspicious, two of Wesâs favorite things in Gotham. He even deflects into the Brucie Wayne persona in this imaginary scenario.
God. This is too stressful. Wes knows too many people with alter egos. He needs normal friendsâhe canât keep being the normal friend for abnormal people. Maybe he should start going to the community center in his momâs neighborhood and meet normal teens with normal Gotham interests. (Wes imagines the normal Gotham teen experience to be the universal vaping and smoking, plus minor vandalism and maybe even some pickpocketing in the Diamond District. Heâd sidestep any vigilante-chasers or gangsters, naturally. Heâs got to avoid the Bats!)
Of the first floor, there are the following rooms: the kitchen, the dining room, the living room, the parlor, the drawing room, Mr. Wayneâs office, the game room, the theater room, the servantsâ quarters, the bathrooms, and the garage.
The kitchen likely has too much foot traffic to keep a secret entrance, plus Mr. Pennyworth seems too proper to let Bat-hijinks take place anywhere near his domain. The foot traffic would remain an issue for rooms like the living room, the drawing room, and the parlor. The theater and game rooms may be an option â both had bookshelves to hold board games, video games, DVDs, and VHS tapes, and bookshelves are classic rich people hiding places. The library is another potential place, even if itâs rather stereotypical. But maybe he should expect stereotypes from the same people with a cow named Bat-Cow?Â
The servantsâ quarters, only occupied by Mr. Pennyworth and not included in the tour, would be an unexpected place. It may be too far out of the way, though. The bathrooms could be an option: no one is going to interrogate someone for spending too long in a bathroom. But some people are nosy about what others keep in their bathrooms, and someone as paranoid as Batman would account for that. The garage is likely too much of a security liability given that itâs right there along the driveway for an easy getaway.Â
That just leaves Bruce Wayneâs office, where it wouldnât be weird for a CEO to disappear into for hours at a time, nor would it be weird for it to be off-limits for people to be in. Wes was only shown where the room was, not the inside. Itâs totally normal to not be brought into your friendâs dadâs office. So normal, in fact, that Wes wouldnât have even questioned it if he didnât already know that the Waynes were the Bats.Â
So, avoid Bruce Wayneâs study. Not a problem for Wes because he has zero reason to go in there in the first place. This sleepover thing will be a piece of cake.Â
Right now they were in the game room, playing Mario Kart 8 on the Switch. The Waynes were wealthy enough that both Tim and Wes had a pro-controller. (Eat the rich!) Right now, Wes was beating Tim by a decent margin as Luigi, but heâs not sure how much of that is Tim letting him win. Heâs only played Mario Kart a few times, and never on the Switch, so heâs not really world champ. Itâs nice of Tim to fake being bad, though.Â
âDamn, you win again,â Tim says, watching Luigi pass the finish line, followed by his avatar, Princess Peach, seconds after.Â
ââCause youâre going easy on me.â
âWhat? No Iâm not.âÂ
âYou liar.â One of the best ways to lie is to pretend to be a bad liar. Make a few sacrifices with your integrity and no one will question you when you lie well about something that actually matters. His parents taught him that. âPlay better this next round.â
âAre you trash talking me?â Tim is playfully offended.Â
Wes scoffs, grabbing one of the sofa cushions and setting it against the armrest. He buries himself into it, swinging his legs onto the couch. Heâs just barely tall enough to shove his socked feet into Timâs ribs where heâs sitting. âAm not. I just know that youâre a little tech nerd, and that you can totally kick my ass. No way you havenât obsessively played Mario Kart.âÂ
âFirst of all, I resent that.â He shoves Wesâs feet away. His ears are red. Still cooling down from outside? They werenât so red a little bit ago. âSecond of all, fine. Letâs do Rainbow Road.â
âSweet, a challenge!âÂ
Tim selects the Special Cup, and Wes does semi-decently in the first three courses, though Tim only barely holds onto first. The last course is Rainbow Road, and Wes proceeds to fall off the track every thirty seconds. He crosses the finish line in a very humble tenth place. Tim, impossibly, does worse than he has in previous rounds, ending in fourth place rather than the calculated second to spare Wesâs pride of their previous Cups.Â
âHmm. That was humiliating.â
They both turn to look at the doorway, where Damian Wayne lurks, holding Alfred the Cat.Â
âDonât be rude, Demon Spawn.â Tim scowls. Wes stretches his feet out to nudge at Tim admonishingly.Â
âDude, câmon. Heâs right. That was bad.âÂ
âWeston is correct, Drake. And besides, I was talking about you.â
âOkay, thatâs itââ Whatever Tim is about to say is cut off when Wes kicks him, harder than a nudge, but not enough to hurt for longer than a few seconds. âWes! What the hell?â
He ignores Tim, âDid you want to play, Damian?â He gestures at the TV with his controller.Â
The boy straightens up, and the movement makes Alfred the Cat wriggle free of his hold. She darts into the room, behind the sectional couch and out of sight. âDonât be ridiculous. I am merely here to relay Pennyworthâs message that supper will be ready in thirty minutes.âÂ
âOh, so youâre scared that you will do worse than me?â He raises a challenging eyebrow.Â
âTt. I could defeat you and Drake blindfolded.âÂ
âProve it.â
Wordlessly, Damian marches into the room and swipes the controller from Wes. He laughs, kicking his feet off the couch and getting up to grab a third controller. When he turns back to the couch, Damian is already sitting beside his big brother, his back straight and his face neutral. He turns on the controller and joins them on the couch, leaving enough room for Damian to not feel crowded with a stranger.Â
The kid reminds him of some of the more minor-league ghosts who like to annoy Danny for attention. Ghosts like fighting, they like arguing. Siblings shared in that trait, usually.Â
Tim grumbles and switches to three person multiplayer, then asks, âWhat tracks do you want to play?â
âThe same one you and Weston were on. I will defeat you both.âÂ
âWell, definitely me,â Wes says. Damian only sniffs in response.Â
They speed through character selection, Wes keeping Luigi and Tim keeping Peach, and Damian chooses Shy Guy. After choosing their vehicles (Wes is the only one who chooses a cart instead of a motorcycle), they start the Special Cup.Â
They quickly discover that Damian is a ruthless competitor. Wes lets out a frustrated groan at the third green shell that hits him, whereas Tim curses at his little brother. âHow are you so fucking good? I thought video games were beneath you!â
âJon has a Switch. He likes Mario Kart and Minecraft.â
âOf fucking course he does.â Â
Wes wonders who this âJonâ person is. A civilian friend? A fellow superhero? He hates knowing superhero identities, but his mind runs theories anyway.Â
Damian continues to win against them, and when that gets boring, he purposely keeps a middle-pace so he can collect shells. His aim is unfortunately impeccable. After twenty minutes of losing to his little brother, Tim calls it quits. âOkay, thatâs it. We need to wash up for dinner before Alfred gets mad.âÂ
âScared to continue losing, Drake?â
âHardly. Go wash your hands, brat. You were holding the cat earlier.â
âSheâs cleaner than you,â Damian insults. Then, before Tim can retort, he bounds out of the room.Â
Tim turns to Wes, âDude, seriously?â
âWhat? He obviously wanted to hang out with you.âÂ
âNo he didnât! Heâs Damian. He wanted to spy on me and you so he can insult us better later when you arenât around.âÂ
âMh-hm.â Wes is doubtful. âI donât know about that. He acts like how I did when I was in middle school and wanted to hang out with my older cousin.â
âIt warms my heart that youâre capable of seeing the good in evil.â
âYou donât mean that, dude.â
Tim smiles, âI guess not.âÂ
After washing up themselves, they head downstairs for the dining room. They are greeted by the savory scent of steak. Wesâs mouth waters. Real rich people food.Â
Bruce Wayne (Batman!) is already seated at the head of the table, Damian to his right. Tim grabs Wesâs hand and pulls him to sit on the other side, with Tim acting as a buffer between him and Bruce Wayne.Â
âB, this is Wes Weston, my friend. He works in PR, specifically with our TikTok team.â There is no TikTok team, unless Wes and Rebecca count as a team. What is she supposed to do when he goes back to Amity with his dad at the end of the summer? âWes, this is Bruce, my adoptive dad.âÂ
Well, only after the whole fake uncle thing, Wes thinks to himself. But he isnât supposed to know about that. âItâs nice to meet you, sir.â
âPlease, call me Bruce when we arenât at work, Wes.â Bruce Wayne grins that Brucie grin, big and disarming. Iâm onto you, Batman. You canât fool me. âItâs great to see Tim with friends his age. I had a lot of concern after he dropped out of high school, you know, butââ
âBruce, please. Stop embarrassing me!â
âIâm just expressing my love for my son, Tim.â He turns to Damian, âDonât follow your other brothersâ examples. Stay in school.âÂ
âOf course, Father,â Damian says while Wes snorts.Â
The Waynes are really zero to nil on children who have high school diplomas. Dick Grayson ran off (or was run off?) at age sixteen, Jason Todd was declared dead (though Wes suspects that maybe he really did dieâis there a way to get Danny and Co. to look into that without spilling identities?), and Tim dropped out and created an uncle after his parents passed so he could become a full-time CEO and vigilante (Wes should sit down with Tim and talk about good coping mechanisms, and also never admit to knowing about the fake uncle or the vigilante activities). Hell, even Bruce Wayne is a medical school dropout!
They still at least had Damian Wayne and Duke Thomas, Wes supposes. Maybe they can be the Wayne kids who finally walk at graduation.Â
As if on cue, Duke Thomas trudges into the room, clearly tired from daytime patrol as The Signal. Though, Wes is likely supposed to believe that Duke is out doing volunteer work or something of the like.Â
âHey, guys. New person.â Duke squints at Wes, then rubs his eyes. A pair of tinted glasses hang on the collar of his yellow shirt. He grabs them and puts them on.
âHello, Thomas.â
âHey, Duke.â
âWelcome back, Duke! Have you met Wes yet? Are your headaches acting up again?âÂ
âNope,â says Duke, taking his seat next to Damian. âNice to meet you. Iâm Duke. And my headâs fine.â
âNice to meet you, too.â
âIs Dick still here?â Duke asks.Â
Bruce shakes his head, âHe had to leave to make it back to Bludhaven so heâd be able to rest before his shift with the BPD tonight.âÂ
Wes translates that as Heâs got Nightwing work tonight. But who knows? Maybe he really does have a night shift.Â
âAh, that sucks,â Duke says.
Alfred walks in pushing a cart of the mouth-watering steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, and roasted vegetables and starts to serve everyone.
Wes may have to sleep over more often.Â
âThanks, Alfred,â Wes says when his food is plated.Â
âOf course, Master Wes.â
He wrinkles his nose at that, even though Alfredâs called him that a few times upon coming in for snacks after filming. Being called âmasterâ makes him feel like some kind of egocentric wealthy elitist.Â
âSo, Wes,â Bruce Wayne, literally Batman, starts after everyone has been served. Wes straightens up tp better search for any signs of dinnertime kneecap removal. âYouâre Pennyâs son and that you intern at WE. How are you liking it so far?â
Normal dinnertime conversation. Excellent. Wes has been to dinners every evening of his life, so he should ace this.Â
âItâs fun. I mean, I just did coffee runs and stuff at first, but itâs a lot more engaging now that Rebecca is running the TikTok and is using me as her Gen Z brain monkey.âÂ
âSheâs not that much older than you.â Tim rolls his eyes.Â
âThe WE TikTok is doing very well,â Bruce compliments as if Tim hadnât opened his mouth. âWe should have started one much sooner.â
âI love the one youâre in. Wes, the one where you talk about the American public school experience,â Duke says, rubbing at his temple. Which is unhelpful because Wes directly made fun of Bruce Wayne in that one. âSorry about the maybe trauma it inflicted.â
He winces, âI mean, it was fine. We were in a safe room the whole time. It genuinely was like the average American high school experience.â He cuts a concerned look at Bruce. The guy who literally can fire his mom and also rip out his kneecaps if he decides to take offense to something dumb Wes says. He just canât help itâheâs an Amity Park teenager!
Bruce notices and laughs, âNow, now, none of that! I think itâs great that you raised awareness about school shootings. Iâm very aware of my privilege, and I donât have any hard feelings about it being called out.â
âThatâs⊠good.âÂ
Tim nudges him from under the table with his foot. When Wes looks at him, heâs smiling. Wesâs stomach twists. Itâs not an unpleasant feeling.Â
Damian sniffs, âWell, nothing will compare to the appearances of Bat-Cow, Titus, Alfred the Cat, and Haley.â
âEveryone will love them,â Wes agrees. âPeople go crazy for animals.âÂ
âThey would be wrong not to.â
âWes, not to be rude, but are you from Gotham?â Duke asks. He squints from behind his tinted glasses. âYou donât have a Gothamite accent.â
âThatâs not rude at all.â Wes racks his brain for reasons why the meta vigilante might look constipated whenever he looks at him. Is it an Amity Park thing? The Signalâs power set isn't 100% knownâthe only things confirmed by witness accounts are light and shadow manipulation. Is the electromagnetic radiation spectrum that Duke can see wider than a baseline humanâs, thus allowing him to see more visible light? Can Duke see auras? Can he see ectoplasmic radiation? Can he see that radiation in Wes?Â
He needs to be careful about what he says. âIâm from Amity Park, Illinois. So is my mom. But she and my dad divorced a few years ago and now I visit Gotham every other holiday and every summer.âÂ
âOh damn, that sucks, dude.â
âNah, itâs fine. They were super chill about it.â They had an amicable divorce. Wanted different things. His parents still text semi-regularly, and they will usually steal Wesâs phone for a few minutes when heâs talking to the other. They might still be together if his mom hadnât wanted to move up in her career and his dad hadnât been firm on staying in Amity, or if theyâd both been okay with long distance.Â
Still⊠it would be nice to be a complete family, again. Together and whole. Preferably in an Amity Park not infested with white suits or ectophobic ghost hunters.Â
Ugh. He really needs to call his dad after work tomorrow. Maybe his cousin, too.
Dinner goes smoothly from there, and after, Tim drags Wes to the movie room to watch Lord of the Ring: Fellowship of the Ring before turning into bed. When the credits roll, he asks, âAre you cool with just staying in my room, or do you wanna stay in the guest room?â
Honestly, what kind of rich people shit is that question? (Ignoring that his mom owns a townhouse in Gotham City and is the director of Wayne Enterprisesâs PR Department. He had humble beginnings!)
âYour room is fine,â Wes says.Â
âYou⊠just wanna share the bed?âÂ
Wes had seen Timâs bedroom in the tour already. He had a California king sized bed. Sleeping in a bed that size would be just the same as sleeping in separate sleeping bags on the floor in terms of intimacy.Â
âYeah, thatâs fine, dude.âÂ
Fast forward to them actually in pajamas and actually under blankets and actually turning off their phones for the night, and Wes is learning that itâs actually not fine.Â
Heâs hyper-aware of Timâs form beneath the blankets, the same blankets Wes is under. And sure, they are on separate ends of the bed, nearly three feet between them, but still.Â
Heâs slept in the same bed as a few friends before, but that had stopped around middle school, when it was suddenly gay for guys to do that. Wes is secure in his sexuality, sure, but he was still in a small Midwestern town at the time, so he hadnât exactly wanted to do anything to confirm any queerness about him.Â
Tim, on the other hand, has been publicly bisexual for a while now. And he wasnât in the room with Wes when heâd gotten his fitting and made his request that his suit reflect his sexuality, so he didnât know that Wes was any flavor of MLM. (Heâd been too insecure about his lanky basketball player frame to let a superhero overhear his measurements.)Â
Is it weird that Wes knows Timâs sexuality but Tim doesnât know his while they share a bed? Is it creepy? Is it wrong? Should Wes say something? Or would it be even creepier to come out while in Timâs bed? Fuck, is it hot in here?
He kicks a leg out from under the covers, allowing it to be exposed to cool air. Itâs completely dark in the room, but he stares at where his foot should be. Should he have worn socks to make it not gay? Is it gay at all? What even is âitâ at this point, anyway?
He forces a deep breath. This is probably not weird. It probably would be weird if he did decide to come out while sharing a bed with his friend, who is a queer vigilante and his boss and could have his adoptive father rip out Wesâs spine if he so wished.Â
Right. So Wes needs to chill the fuck out and think of literally anything else.Â
His first thought is unfortunately that time he fell off the monkey bars in the first grade and landed on top of Paulina Sanchez, who had cried and hated him until sixth grade for it.Â
Even worse, his second thought is of his parentsâ divorce, and he wants to slap himself. But he canât do that when thereâs a maybe-sleeping-maybe-not body next to him, so instead he takes another deep, quiet breath.
He thinks of Duke Thomas and the way he squinted at Wes. Right, light and shadow manipulation. But to what extent? The way he reacted to Wes might suggest he can see more than a regular humanâs visible light spectrum. (More colors, like a shrimp?) If he can see ecto-radiation, then he can see that thereâs something off about Wes, who has lived in Amity since the portalâs opening nearly a year ago. The average Amity Parker has a little ecto-contamination in them, but Wesâs may be higher thanks to his stalking of Team Phantom.Â
So Duke might know that heâs a little irradiated. Not a big deal, Amityâs a small town. Thereâs no reason to assume that Duke will meet other Amity Parkers and start to ask questions.Â
But what would happen if the Guys In White decide to outsource help and they decide that someone who can see more forms of light would be beneficial to the cause?Â
âŠ.Fuck. He was supposed to calm himself down, not work himself up.
Wes settles in for a long night.Â

I Didn't Want This Either
l Luke Hughes l masterlist l part 1 l * warning: death *
"Can we talk?" Jack knocked on the window of Luke's car. He didn't like what he was going to ask Luke, but he needed to get the conversation over with.
"What's up?" Luke watched as Jack fiddled with the sleeve of his jacket.
Jack took a deep breath in, counted to five, before let out the inhaled air.
"I know this is never probably going to happen, but I just want to be prepared just in case. because you never know what could happen. and Addie agrees with me, for once, I know it's crazy.
"Jack spit it out."
"Now that I have two kids. I've been thinking more about what happens to them if something happens to us. And I think I want you to raise them if we can't." The older brother asked of the younger one.
"Jack, I don't know." Luke contemplated what he was being asked, which was really nothing, but he knew. "Isn't there anyone better for the job? Mom? Quinn?"
"No, Luke. Quinn and Liv have enough going on and Mom and Dad don't need to raising two little kids after the raised us." Jack explained. "Plus you're great with them and they love you so much. Please Lukey."
"Fine"
"Great! I'll add you to daycare pick up." Jack reached over to give his brother an awkward hug before they went on with their separate ways.
--
"You're pretty." Jack chanced a glanced over at his beautiful wife. They had just dropped the kids off at daycare and were on their way to the rock.
"You're not too bad yourself Mr. Hughes" Addie said scrunching her nose at the man next to her.
"I'll talk to Luke or Nico today, maybe one of them can take the kids and we can have tonight." He kept looking back and forth from the road to his wife.
"Jack watch the road please." She clenched her jaw. There was traffic all around them, making her feel a bit nervous.
"What Ads? It's fine." Jack's eyes left the road again to look at his wife.
"Jack!"
Jack never saw the car until it was too late.
--
"Shit. Shit. Shit." Luke jumped out of bed. He scrambled to get ready for practice when the brain fog cleared and he saw it was after 10 am already.
He was so late. His alarms must not have gone off or something, because he was never late for practice. And here he was going to be late for the first time in forever.
Luke chose to forgo his usual morning routine and caffeinated beverage, thinking it might give a chance to get to the practice facility faster.
He was almost there when the traffic started to picked up. There must have been an accident. All sorts of emergency vehicles were surrounding the area.
As Luke got closer to the heart of the situation he noticed a two crumpled up cars. A silver one and a very familiar looking green one.
Luke got a good long look at the wreck as he passed it. Two white sheets littered the ground, the car accident must have been that bad that people died.
That's why there was so much commotion.
He felt bad for the family that was going learn the news that they lost people they loved. Little did he know his phone was blowing up at the moment, messages and phone calls from his parents and brother, family members, teammates, and close friends with that specific news.
The now super late hockey player got to his destination only an hour later than he was supposed to be there. He thought it was a bit odd how the normally packed parking garage was near empty. Where was everyone?
"Luke what are you doing here?" Nico frowned at the defensemen who was trying to get ice ready as fast as he could.
"I know I'm late. I didn't set my alarm and then there was some big accident. I'll do extra of whatever you want. I'm sorry." Luke finishing up lacing his skates up. If he had been looking at Nico eye's went wide at the mention of the accident.
"Practice was cancelled a couple of hours ago."
"Why would they do that we have a game tomorrow?"
"The league is thinking of postponing it"
"Why?" he stopped what he was doing to look up at his captain. There was a feeling in the room, there was something seriously wrong.
Luke finally glanced around the empty locker room, it held the same odd feeling that the lot had.
"Um. Have you looked at your phone lately?" The older man scratched the back of his head nervously.
Luke furrowed his brows at the question. No, he hadn't looked at his phone, he had been a little busy trying to get there as quickly as he could, the action didn't feel necessary at the time.
But now a bad sinking feeling was telling him that maybe he should.
He had a total of 19 missed calls from him Mom, Dad, and Quinn alone. Not to mention the other various voicemails that completely filled the digital voicemail box was completely filled. On top of that there were over a hundred txt messages from a variety of people.
There was even a message from Jack, a simple heart emoji followed by an 'i luv ya bro,' that was timestamped hours before everything else.
"Nico, what's going on?" His voice hitched after he read a txt from Trevor that read 'i just heard about j. i'm so sorry.' When Luke looked up from the device he took note that Nico was now accompanied by their new coach and a few devils' personal.
"Luke you should call your parents back" The captain picked at the skin around his fingers.
"No just tell me. What's going on?" He thumbed through his device trying to decipher the
"Let's take this somewhere a little more private. Yeah?" The group of higher ups attempted to usher then to a different room a little more quiet and appropriate to have this conversation. Luke shook them off, wanting them to just spit it out.
"Say it Nico" Luke shook them off. He wanted Nico to just spit it out. He was tired of this go around and the hesitation
Nico sighed heavily. He didn't want to be the one to tell his friend the news, it would be better if it were coming from a family member, but they were all on there way to New Jersey at moment. So he had to do his best.
"There was an accident" Nico began to say. Luke felt his heart beat faster, and a pit forming in his stomach as he realized what Nico was telling him. Maybe this would have been better coming from his mom or dad, hell even Quinn.
"Jack and Addie were in the car-" Nico continued. That green car that look familiar. Jack had a green car.
"No no no no no no no." He covered his ears in an attempted to block out what Nico was telling him. This wasn't happening.
"they didn't make it." Nico finished. He put his hand on Luke's shoulder in an attempt to comfort him. The kind gesture didn't help anyeay as Luke grabbed the nearest garbage pail and emptied the contents of his stomach in it.
It was true. It couldn't be true. Jack wasn't dead. This was all just some sort of prank, a sick joke. Jack was going to walk around the corner and say sike.
He need to get out of there. Anywhere but there. He had this pain in chest, and it was hard to breath anytime he thought of his brother.
He got in his car and drove without a destination in mind. He drove and drove until he found himself in a deserted mall parking lot, not another car or person in sight.
Luke sat in his perfectly fine car and screamed. There wasn't anyone around, so no one would be able to judge him. Not that he cared. He needed to get his emotions out.
Why Jack? Why couldn't have been him? If only he had been on time today, maybe it would have been him in that accident and Jack would still be alive.
He had been receiving texts all day. Luke ignored all of them. A few people called, he ignored those too. Ellen had been calling him at least once every hour, but he still refused to talk to her.
There was one number that had been persistently calling him, even more than his mother had. Maybe she had gotten a hold of another phone and was calling from that. He didn't know, but he finally decided to answer the call.
"Hey Luke, this is Y/N calling this Happy Times Nursery, how are you?" The very peppy and friendly lady ask.
"I'm um, I could be better. What is this pertaining to?" He mumbled his reply confirming it was him.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Well we've been trying to reach Jack and Addie for a couple of hours now seeing that it is well past pick up time for Lucy and Felix. We were just wondering if someone was on their way to retrieve them. They are our last kids for the night and we would like to go home."
Shit, the kids
Let me know what you guys think!

The Guest House - Chapter 9
Pairing: Dean x Reader
Series Summary: Dean Winchester is going through a nasty divorce. He doesn't have much left to his name, but what he does have is his house. Leave it to his soon-to-be ex wife to find a way to even ruin that for him. Enter Y/N, who is looking to get away from life for a bit, and stumbles right into the middle of it all.
The Guest House Master List
Word Count: 3,474
A/N: I can't tell you how much I appreciate everyone's kind words and support these last few weeks. It was a very tough time but I've finally given myself time to rest and recover and starting to feel better again. I'm so happy to be back at this story and hope you all enjoy đ©”đ©·
âI WHAT?â You stammer as Dean leans back, out of your space, still grinning.Â
After you had told him about your dream car, he had texted Rick, asking him if he would bring the â73 Mustang along for you to drive while he worked on Rickâs show cars. He initially was going to leave you at home with his mom, but thought you would enjoy this a lot more. Â
Plus, Rick loved showing off and racing his collectionâthe ones he didnât plan to put up for auctionâso he was more than happy to oblige.Â
âHey, Dean!â
Speak of the gray-haired devel.Â
Dean turns to see Rick jogging from the garages, his arm outstretched above him as Dean waves back.Â
A few seconds later, Rick steps into the circle you and Dean had created, his hands on his hips as he catches his breath.Â
âY/N,â Dean points towards the newcomer. âThis is Rick. Rick, Y/N.â Rick reaches out his hand and you take it, giving it a firm shake as Dean raises an eyebrow.Â
âNice to meet you,â you greet Rick with a smile as you drop his hand.Â
âYou as well.â Rick returns. âHeard you had an interest in Mustangs.âÂ
Deanâs eyes dart to you, his smile growing as the color rushes to your cheeks before you sneak a glance at him.
âReally just one Mustang.â You admit, your attention back to Rick. âMy dad tried to get me a â74 for my first car but my mom shot that down pretty quick.âÂ
âAh,â Rick snaps. âThatâs too bad. Beautiful machine.â And you nod in agreement.Â
âWell,â Rickâs hand lands heavy on Deanâs shoulder. âDean here has some work to get to for me, but while he works, you and I will play.â Your lips pop open at Rickâs words and you suck in a breath as you quickly turn to Dean, panic in your Y/E/C eyes as your gaze darts across his face. Dean canât stop the smirk that appears as you look up to him to save you.
âHeâs harmless, I promise.â Dean assures you with a wink, his hand coming to rest on your upper arm. The color returns to your cheeks, and Deanâs smirk relaxes, just one corner of his lip raised as his heartbeat slows.Â
Fuck. He drops his hand away from you and straightens out as he clears his throat. Touching you while you were looking up at him like that, through your thick lashes, was a bad idea. And he takes a step away.
âWell, Iâll leave you kids to it.â Dean turns, walking backwards to keep his eyes on you and Rick. And you. âHave fun.â
This time, he fully turns, away from you as he hears Rick starting his spiel about Mustangs and how they were first introduced to the public at the Worldâs Fair in 1964 and since then, itâs been one of the most desired cars of our time.Â
Dean smirks. Heâs heard this history lesson more times than he would have cared to, but Rickâs a good guy, who pays well. Really well. Just for today's work, he was going to take home $6K, which was definitely over market value for Deanâs work, but Rick liked and trusted Dean, and for a man where $6K was nothing, he was more than happy to pay extra to keep Dean around.Â
Dean steps into the garage, welcomed by Rickâs Datsun 240Z, Pontiac Firebird, and of course, Rickâs pride and joy, his 1969 Corvette Stingray. The first two were going up for auction tomorrow, while the Stingray was just here for a general checkup.Â
Despite the beautiful cars in front of him, his eyes are drawn a few stalls down, where sheâs waiting for him.Â
That sense of excitement and pride bubbles up in his chest whenever he lays his eyes on her. But she would have to wait for now.Â
Tearing his eyes away, Dean claps his hands together and gives them a rub.
âLetâs get to work.â
Your heart is pounding in the best way possible as Rick crosses the finish line for the seventh time. This is the most alive youâve felt in a long time.Â
He had expertly raced you through the course, taking every curve so smoothly, you barely slipped across the benched, leather seat. When the speedometer first hit 120MPH, your eyes widened and you suddenly realized you were sitting in a steel deathtrap, going at a speed that would surely kill you if you were to crash, with a man you had met only two minutes prior.Â
It was insanity. But here you were, loving every moment of it.Â
âWhatcha say? Wanna take a ride in the driverâs seat?â Rick turns in his seat once the car slows to a stop.Â
You take a deep breath, calming your racing heart.
âGod I wish.â Youâre practically breathless. âBut I never learned how to drive stick.â Rick snaps for the second time today.Â
âWell thatâs a damn shame.â The older man shakes his head, his unstyled hair following the movement. âI would offer to teach you, but this isnât quite the type of car you learn on.â He smiles while he pats the dashboard affectionately.Â
You swat your hand through the air.
âOh donât even worry about it.â You were glad he didnât offer to teach you. You would have been terrified of learning on such a beautiful car. You would probably find a way to crash it or ruin it. And you didnât have the funds to fix a classic car at the moment.Â
âBut thank you for taking me. That was one of the coolest things Iâve ever done.â And it was true. The last time you had done anything this crazy was when you were in college, and did the Sky Coaster with Sydney while on spring break in Myrtle Beach. The two of you squeezed each otherâs hands as you laid in the harness as you swung almost 200 feet in the air over the boardwalk. Since then, itâs been calculated and controlled decisions as you focused on growing your career above all else.
Without another word, Rick steps out of the car, and you follow.
âSo what brings you up to Bolton?â Rick rests against the hood of the car, looking across at you. âBesides Dean?â He smirks. Something tells you heâs fishing, but unfortunately for him, the pond is empty.
âWell, Iâm only here because of Dean, but I live in the city and recently quit my job so I decided to take a little vacation before I jumped back into the rat race. Iâm renting out Deanâs guest house.â Rick wrinkles his nose and looks away.
âDeanâs renting? Canât imagine heâs liking that too much.â Rick snaps his cobalt gaze back to you, holding up a hand. âNo offense.â
âNone taken,â you smirk. âHe wasnât the most gracious host when we first met,â you chuckle at the memory of Dean storming you with a gun as you had lounged in the hot tub. âBut weâre getting there.â Rick just shakes his head, looking like he has a comment on the tip of his tongue, but bites it back.  Â
âWell, Iâm glad Dean brought you along today.â Rick taps the hood of the car before stepping around towards the front, and you follow. âAlways nice to meet a new face.âÂ
âWell, I appreciate it.â You smile up toward Rick as you walk in tandem towards the garages Dean had disappeared to before Rick whisked you away in your dream car.Â
âI hope youâll be joining us at the auction tomorrow?â Rick glances down towards you, and you nod.
âIâll probably be the most useless person there, but I will be there.â You chuckle, and Rick joins in with you.
âDonât sell yourself short.â Rick steps in front of you as you approach the door. âBesides, Iâd love to introduce you to my wife, Addie. Sheâll be so happy to have someone else who knows nothing about cars.â He pulls the door open for you. âShe says Dean and I are incorrigible at these things.â He shoots you a wink and you smile and give him your thanks as you step inside.Â
The garage is set up similar to a classic mechanicsâ shop, several work stalls running down the lengthy hall, each with a car quietly parked within them, but everything in the rectangular space screams modernity. Before each stall is a glass garage door, framed in shining black chrome. Lifts glisten in their near-pristine condition, whether because theyâre new or because theyâre so well kept. The floors are a polished cement, the wall color made to match. Â
It was definitely designed by someone with a lot of money.
You glance over your shoulder at Rick.
âYou donât happen to own this racetrack, do you?â You pose the question, the lightbulb having gone off in your head as you take in the gleaming workspace and the proud man smiling behind you.Â
âBought it about a decade ago.â Rick rests his hands on his jean-clad hips. âWas a lifelong dream of mine. I grew up a few towns over and my dad used to take me here all the time growing up. He was a car guy too.â Rick motions to a couch along the side wall and you take a seat.Â
âIt had shut down back in 2009 when the original owners couldnât keep up with the payments anymore after the economy crashed.â Rick settles next to you at a comfortable distance. âI was living in the city at the time and had no idea it was on the market. I was in the area for work and decided to take a detour to visit for old timeâs sake and was shocked to find it was shut down. I was getting ready to retire, and Addie had been trying to help me find a retirement project so I wouldnât drive her crazy,â he chuckles. âThis wasnât what she had in mind, but it gets me out of the house, which is what she wanted, so I tell her she canât complain.â You laugh softly with him, wondering briefly what Addie looked like. Though if she would be at the auction tomorrow, you would get your answer soon enough.Â
âWell it seems to be working for you. If youâre this happy coming here everyday, youâve clearly done something right.â Rick hums and dips his head.
âYouâve got that right. I used to manage wealth portfolios for almost 30 years. I liked it, liked how important and successful it made me, but I wouldnât say it ever made me happy.â His smile fades off. âNot like this place.â His eyes leave yours and he looks around the space.Â
âAnd the only way Iâm ever leaving here is in a body bag.â He turns back to you, a smirk reappearing. âI already told Addie to bury me here when I die.â
The absurdity of his comment catches you off guard, and you burst out with a laugh, but it doesnât drown out his words, especially when the ring inside you like a damn war bell.Â
Even on the best days, you wouldnât say your job made you happy. Like Rick, your success was what drove you; being promoted and recognized for your work was your greatest focus, and happiness wasnât something you ever considered. Your work was interesting to you, and a challenge at times, and that had been enough.Â
But maybe it was something to consider with your next job: what would you actually be happy doing?
Before you can think on it further, a frosted glass door pushes open from the back wall, and out steps Dean, wiping his hands on a rag before shoving it into his newly adorned, black coveralls with a LRR emblem on his left chest, with his name scripted underneath.Â
âWell look who's back,â his smile widens as he catches sight of us on the couch. âThought he would have had you out there taking a few spins on the track yourself.â Dean points out one of the garage doors towards the track.Â
âTurns out Y/N here canât drive manual.â Rick gives you a few pats on your shoulder, almost like he was comforting you on the fact that you couldnât drive an outdated system.Â
Deanâs lips tick upward.
âWell color me shocked,â he drawls, not a hint of surprise in his words as he smiles down at you, his green eyes glistening.Â
Stupid, handsome prick.Â
If Rick wasnât sitting right next to you, youâd probably would have flipped him off.
âHilarious,â you deadpan instead, opting for the more civil route.Â
âHow are the cars looking?â Rick stands, moseying over to the car parked in the closest stall, a shimmering moss green classic beauty with a sloping front hood and concave headlights.Â
Deanâs eyes linger on you, something stirring within you as he watches, before he turns away, approaching the same car and stepping on the opposite side of where Rick stands, assessing with crossed arms and a leaning posture.
You hadnât noticed until Dean looked away, but you had stopped breathing. Your heart palpating in your chest desperately reminding you to take a breath. Â
You huff heavily, letting the ache in your chest ease. The sound seems to catch Deanâs attention for just a split second before he continues on with his report, and youâre grateful his gaze didnât hold you again.Â
The two men chat for a minute before Rick walks over to Dean and shakes his hand, giving him a firm pat before breaking away.Â
You stand as Rick approaches you, his arm outstretched towards you.
âGreat meeting you, Y/N. Looking forward to seeing you again tomorrow.â Rick gives you a genuine smile with a firm handshake.Â
âYou too,â you fully return. âAnd Iâm looking forward to meeting Addie.â Rickâs smile grows wider at her name.
âSheâll be happy to have a friend tomorrow.âÂ
It only takes another moment for him to disappear out the front door, leaving you and Dean alone in the garage.Â
You look over to Dean, who is watching you with a relaxed smile, waiting for you to make the next move.Â
You shove your hands into your back pockets and rock on your heels.
âSooo,â you start, your teeth catching your lip on the last letter as you try to cut through the silence. âAre you done?â
Dean breathes out a laugh and looks down.Â
âNot yet,â he looks back at you, holding your attention. âI just need to check out the Pontiac,â he throws a thumb over his shoulder to a sienna machine with a giant eagle emblem spread across the entirety of the hood. âWhich shouldnât take long, and then give his Stingray a tune up. Shouldnât be more than an hour.â
You step away from the couch, heading towards the Pontiac and grimace at the tawdry design sprawled across the otherwise pristine classic car.
âPeople actually like this?â You point to the logo that looks very similar to Journeyâs crest. Dean laughs and steps up next to you.Â
âBelieve it or not, a similar one went up to auction two years ago and sold for $220,000.â You whip your head towards him, your mouth hanging wide.
âYouâre kidding.â You gape, looking back to the very eighties looking car in front of you. Sure, it was in good shape, and obviously people had an interest in this type of stuff, but to spend that much money on a car, a car that was really only fourty or so years old, hardly seemed worth it to you.Â
Dean steps away from you, grabbing a tool box from the last station and setting it up next to this car.Â
âThis one wonât go for that, itâs not as rare, but if it sells tomorrow, which it should, Rick will probably get around $100,000 for it.â
âJesus.â
Dean just smiles as he sets up his station, pressing a button by the garage door, sending the car slowly into the air, just a couple of feet, before coming to a stop. Â
Dean walks back over to the first station, kicking over a some sort of roller, that you assume he uses to get underneath the cars.
As he walks past you, you canât help but admire the broad shoulders under the fitted coveralls, the way the fabric stretches rather deliciouslily over arms that you were suddenly very interested in.Â
âAny chance you know much about tools?â His deep voice rumbles through you as he turns to look at you with curious eyes.
âI know the basics.â You admit, stepping out of his gaze. You may be a renter, but you had your own mini toolbox for some decoration projects or when you needed something simple done and didnât want to bother your landlord. You were all for independence when the moment called for it.Â
âThatâll work.â Dean grins as he squats down onto the roller, his thighs pressing tight against his work pants. Your heart flutters again.Â
He pulls a headlamp from his pocket and positions it on top of his forehead before he lays himself flat, one hand grasping onto the front bumper.
His words finally catch up with you.
âWait,â he starts to push himself under, but quickly catches himself at your words. âWhat do you mean?âÂ
He smirks. The smirk that makes your heart beat in a different way. In a way that makes you want to punch him.Â
âYouâre going to be my assistant.â You laugh dryly.Â
âIâm sorry, have you forgotten that I know nothing about cars?â Your hands flair with your words. âI am not touching any of those.â You point to the car in front of you. âIâll probably break them.âÂ
âIâm aware of that.â He annoyingly agrees with you, and you glare down at him. âI just need you to hand me some tools while Iâm down here. It will make everything move much faster.âÂ
âOh.â
âYes, âoh.â Like I would ever let you work on one of these.â He mumbles, though still loud enough for you to hear before he disappears under the car, a light suddenly illuminating from the undercarriage.Â
You walk towards the toolbox, making sure to accidentally kick his exposed work boot on your way. He grumbles something at the contact, but the words are lost with the rest of his body under the car.Â
You open up the toolbox, a multi-level contraption, and see some familiar instruments, and others that were completely new to you.Â
âThink you can handle getting me a 9/16 wrench?â He yells out to you. Your eyes scan the box, finding the wrenches and reading each handle until you see the size he asked for. You pick it up, but an idea hits you.Â
You walk over to the car and lean down, reaching under to give him the tool.Â
You smile as you hear him cuss and then the light goes out before he slides himself out from the car, pushing himself upright. This time sans headlight.Â
âEverything okay?â You ask with fake concern.Â
âFine,â he responds politely and makes his way to the toolbox with the wire cutters you had handed him. His hand grazes over the container, landing at the wrenches, his brow furrowing when he notices the empty space where the wrench he requested should be.Â
âLooking for this?â You hold up the wrench and give it a little wiggle. He turns towards you, his face falling as he notices the tool.
âAnd you gave me the wire cutters, why?â He huffs, dropping the wrong tool unceremoniously into the box as he walks over to you.
You hold his gaze, even as it makes your throat dry as he towers over you.Â
âYou didnât say please.â You see the light flash in his eyes, his lips twitching up as he leans in, so close you involuntarily stand up straighter, his warm breath fanning over you as he refuses to break his stare. He holds your gaze for a moment. Then two. Before he leans to your right, his lips so close, you can practically feel them against your ear.
âPlease,â he whispers, sending goosebumps chasing down your skin as your arm drops heavily to your side.Â
He pulls back, still smiling as those damned viridescent eyes seem to own you.Â
His hand then brushes against yours, and before you can react, he plucks the wrench from your grasp and leans away, that satisfied, smug smirk brightening his face.Â
âThanks,â he fucking winks at you before finally stepping away and dropping back down onto the roller and disappearing underneath the car.Â
Itâs only then you can breathe again, and with your first breath you mumble, âbastard.â

Note
Dear CeCe
I have a request itâs something along the lines of
"You brought me breakfast?" "Well you said you always forget to eat before you go to work, so I thought I'd make sure you ate something."
Where the reader (much like myself because of my adhd) forgets to eat breakfast so the driver (preferably Carlos because that man can cook and I believe itâs one of his favorite things to do when not racing) brings them breakfast so they can eat.
(Ps can it be an plus sized!reader)
Thank you â€ïžđ
thank you for requesting!đ«¶đœ
.
When you had made the comment with the Spaniard present, you didnât think it would amount to anything.
It had been during a rainy stint between free practice sessions. The rain was still going heavy and the track was too wet to even attempt a few laps, so most of the teams had been huddled in the garages as they waited for the weather to ease.Â
You had been on Carlosâ side of the garage, along with some other Ferrari workers that were on the social media team. Originally, you were planning to use the extra time to get some shots of both drivers for the Instagram page, only to find yourself seated with both drivers and some others from the engineering team as you discussed random topics of conversation.Â
The topic of the driversâ insane meal and dietary requirements came up, along with superstitions and favourite meals on race day when you had made the passive comment.
âI donât think I could be a driver. I forget to eat breakfast half the time, let alone remember which foods I can and canât eat. It would be a mess!â
The comment had stuck with Carlos, and not in a good way. He didnât like it. He didnât like the idea that you were skipping out on meals. He had noticed a handful of times youâd forget to eat whilst you were at the paddock because you were too immersed in your work. But the fact it went beyond that? That you were forgetting meals outside of work?
He didnât like it one bit.
You had been in the Ferrari motorhome the first time it happened. You had been sitting at one of the tables, your laptop sat in front of you and your eyes focused on the screen as you worked on editing some photos that were supposed to be going up that afternoon.
You didnât even notice the Spanish driver leaving the catering kitchens, let alone making his way towards you until the chair he pulled up beside you was scraping against the floor, the screeches hard to ignore.Â
You smiled when you noticed him, opening your mouth to greet him, only to freeze when he placed a plate in front of you.
You blinked. âWhat is this?âÂ
âBreakfast,â he said simply with a smile as he took the seat next to you, placing his own plate in front of him.Â
âYou got me breakfast?â you questioned, unsure why the action made your stomach flutter. Maybe it was the hunger you didnât even realise you felt, or maybe it was the handsome man beside you.
âI made you breakfast,â he corrected before pausing. âDo you not like it? I can make you something elseââ
âNo!â you said suddenly, flushing a little at how loud and abrupt you were before clearing your throat. âNo, IâŠthank you, Carlos.âÂ
âNo problem, amor.âÂ
But what you assumed was a one time thing started to happen every day you were at the paddock. On race weekends, Carlos would always have a plate ready for you when you arrived, from Thursday straight through to Sunday. And on the weeks where there was no race, you found yourself exchanging numbers with the Spanish driver, only to find yourself receiving constant reminders from the boy.
smooth operator: remember to eat something today xx
smooth operator: did you drink enough water today, amor? xxÂ
smooth operator: remember to eat dinner before midnight pleaseÂ
It sent a flutter of butterflies down to your stomach every time he texted. It made your heart thrum whenever he called. And you knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that you were falling for the Spanish driver. Despite knowing his actions were probably just a show of friendship, it didnât change the way you felt for him.
And you were happy to keep your feelings reserved to yourself until Charles had made a comment one race weekend.
âCarlos, your girlfriend is here!â The other Ferrari driver called out through the garage in a sing-song voice.
Your cheeks flushed. âOh no, Iâwe are just friends.âÂ
Charles looked sceptical. âFriends, huh?â
You frowned a little at his tone of voice. âYes?âÂ
Charles laughed, shaking his head. âI knew Carlosâ whole âfood is the way to a womanâs heartâ was a load of bullshit!â
âAy, no itâs not!â Carlos scoffed as he made his way over, smacking his teammate on the back of his head before he turned to you, a smile on his face. âAh, mi amor.âÂ
âHey,â you murmured with a shy smile before you raised the bag in your hand, the rustle catching both boysâ attention. âI, uh, thought it was time for me to repay the favour. Itâs not as good as your cooking butââ
âItâs perfect,â he insisted, not even caring what was inside the bag.Â
âWhat a nice friendly gesture,â Charles piped up with a grin plastered across his face.
Your face heated up and Carlos frowned a little.
âYou think we are just friends?â Carlos asked, his head turning to look at you.
You blinked. âWe arenât?â
âIs my flirting really that bad?âÂ
Your lips parted slightly. âYou were flirting?â
âOh, this is brilliant,â Charles snorted.
âMi amor, I donât just make meals for any girl,â Carlos said with a sheepish expression on his face.Â
âOh,â you murmured.Â
Carlos raised his brows. âOh?â
âI didnât think you felt the same about me,â you admitted with a shy smile.
âWell, youâd be wrong,â he teased, something darker and more tempting shining in his eyes. âThink I can convince you to agree to dinner then?âÂ
âWill you be cooking for me, Mr Sainz?â you asked.
âItâs just one of many things Iâll be doing for you, amor,â Carlos said, his darkened gaze meeting yours.
âThen Iâd be a fool to say no.âÂ
âThis is horrible to witness, by the way,â Charles piped up once again. âIâm glad you two admitted your feelings but really, get a room, please.â

just a silly crush (not) pt.3
pairing : daniel ricciardo x childhood friend-brabham!reader
summary : turns out you're not as stong as you think you are, and you were sure that you've made a mistake. or are you?
warning : unedited and rushed work, harsh words, slowburn.
a/n : GOSH THIS WILL BE A LONG ONE IM SORRY-
masterlist
there is nothing better than to be able to sat on your own bed, any 5 stars hotels will never beat the comfort of your own bed and you know it very well.
"finally." you said as you plopped onto your bed, falling head first to your king-sized mattress.
you inhale deeply as you close your eyes before exhaling slowly through your mouth.
"no one can ever replace you..." you mumble to your pillow as you close your eyes.
you always love your own bed. the familiar lavender scent, the lovely satin pillow, and most importantly your navy blue hand-made knitted blanket that you got for your 17th birthday.
it was one of those chunky knitted blanket that everyone obsessed about back in 2017. and you're proud to say that you did it first in 2007, ten years before that thing even trending. well, actually, daniel gave it to you so he did it first.
you remember how adamant you are about him buying you gifts for your 17th birthday. you knew he would spent lots of money because he was is that extra, and you knew money is not a problem for him.
"c'mon (y/n), let me buy you gift for your birthday before i move to italy."
and you can't say no to that. but of course you gave him a budget and told him no expensive shit because it won't be special (since you can buy it also) and daniel happily agree.
so when he gave you a huge blue box, you'd expected something like a huge teddy bear. but you remember telling him that you hate teddy bear.
"open it, open it!"
and when you open the box you let out an audible gasp as you pull the blanket out of the box. the soft merino wool engulf you, and you squeel in excitement as you put yourself in a cocoon of the blanket. daniel watch in amusement as he ruffle your hair.
"i asked one of my friend's sister to make it for you. i paid her don't worry!"
and now back to present day, 14 years later, the blanket still there with you. although its not as fluffy as it used to be, you still snuggle with it when you having trouble to sleep. but of course no one knew about that, not even daniel himself.
the navy blue blanket is draped over your sofa, sitting there snuggly. you always put it on your sofa since the accident that almost cost you that blanket. it was 3 years ago and you remember you're about to cry when you saw that the threads is coming lose because you accidently pull the blanket too hard when you were having a 'guest' on your bed while doing the devil's tango.
the phone on your back pocket vibrate and you relucantly take your phone out and answer the call. must be important.
"hello?"
"(y/n) this is lando norris."
you sat down now, sitting with your legs pulled close to your chest. why the hell lando would call you at this hours? its 1 past 15 a.m right now.
"oh, yeah. what's up bud?"
"we're in budapest right now and daniel is wasted... and i heard that you live here, can you pick him up? i can't take him back with my car since i'm here with my plus one, and calling uber at this hours seems dangerousâ"
"god i am not a good driver, when did it all went wrong??"
'â daniel don't go there its dangerous! danielâ oh god i have to go he's about to walk to the pool!"
"what? lanâlando? hello?"
your exhaustion seems to gone instantly, make you shoot up from your bed. you grab your purse and car key as you running to your garage, almost tripped when you descent from your the top of the stairs.
thanks to baby jesus you're still in fairly 'decent' clothes so you don't have to worry about changing it. what you didn't think about was grabbing a coat, and boy the cold weather bite your skin.
but you could care less about being cold. daniel is your top concern. him being drunk is something you rarely see because of his high alcohol tolerance, and you know the situation is bad if he is wasted. you don't know what happen, but maybe it had to do with the hungary grand prix. you have not watched the race so you don't know what happen.
you drove out from your garage as you fumble with your bluetooth connection. your aston martin dbs roar in the almost silent road as you finally able to connect your phone.
you clicked a call button from your car, quickly calling lando again as you drove like a maniac. budapest is almost two hours drive from your place in szeged, so you have to turn yourself into an f1 driver.
"lando, drop your location i'm on my way from szeged."
"szeged? you don't live in budapest? (y/n) its two hours drive, will you be fine? should i go order uber instead?"
"yes i'll be fine lando, just drop the location."
"okay i'll send you the location."
"i'll be there as fast as i can, you keep an eye on daniel okay?"
"okay, will do. thanks (y/n). drive safelyâ daniel get back here!"
you cursed under your breath as you maneuver through the quiet road. thank god the tram is already stop working in this wee hours and the street is fairly quiet.
beads of sweats starting to form on your forehead as you watch your speedometer. god you really drove like a robber who got chased by the police.
you watch your navigation and gosh it still 1 hour and 20 minutes despite you driving like your life depends on it.
"fucking hell..." you said as you accelerate your car, hitting your record on the fastest you ever drove a normal car.
lando bit his lip nervously as he hold daniel, basically hugging the man from wandering away. daniel sobs quietly as he slump against lando, eyes half closed and the younger man watch in sympathy.
the reason of the man drinking carelessly was his race result today. p11, not even scoring for the team after his p5 at silverstone. lando had dnf-ed so he understand the frustration, but deep down he knew that its different for daniel.
he remember how daniel had avoided everyone like a plague, including him. so when daniel invite him to go to the club he immediately agree, only to find him already drinking and half drunk on the bar.
"where i went wrong lando?" daniel asked for the umpteenth time that night.
lando sigh as he softly rub the older's arm.
"its just one race daniel. you're not wrong at all." he said.
lando's plus one had gone to buy some mineral water as him and daniel sat down on the curb. he watch as the older man start to aggressively hit his own chest, lips pouting. the sight of drunk daniel is a little adorable. a little.
"its my fault... i'm sorry i can't score for us lando. sorry i finish empty handed."
"lan, i got the water." luisinha give the cold water bottle to lando.
"thanks lu, sorry you have to run i need to keep an eye on this baby."
luisinha laugh as she sat down beside lando, watching how daniel mumble incoherent words. "its all good... beside, he need you right now." she said, fanning daniel's face with her hand.
"what he need is (y/n) honestly," he said as he wipe the sweat on daniel's temple. "daniel, drink this." he said as he sat daniel straight, bringing the bottle close to his mouth.
daniel grumble as he open his mouth, taking the bottle of water from lando's hand and slowly emptying the bottle. some trickles of water slide to his throat.
there is a screech of tires not far from them. lando turn his head at the noise as he watch you half running to their direction. his eyes widened at the sight of you. just how fast you drove here? its only been an hour and fifteen minutes since he sent you his location.
you were wearing a white camisole and some black sweatpants, a white nike air force and hair in messy bun. lando was sure she saw you shivering a little from the cold and he watch in awe as you kneel down in front of daniel.
"is he okay?" you asked, voice trembling.
"well see it for yourself." lando said.
there are some tears stain on daniel's cheeks and your heart ache at the sight of him. you slowly caress his cheek and he lean into your touch, eyes still closed.
"you've been driving only in those? aren't you cold?" lando asked pointing your decent outfits
"yeah, it is cold. and yeah i am driving basically topless. i also run past few red lights." you answer, huffed as you lightly tap daniel's cheeks.
"what?!"
"i'll be okay. i'll pay for the fine if they caught me," you shrugged. "do you know where he stayed?"
lando nods his head as he stand. "same hotel as me, i'll lead the way. just follow my car. how fast you drive?"
"mate, you don't want to know."
"fine... i just want to know if you got that racer blood in you."
"just-help me with daniel, please." you said as you put daniel arm around your shoulder, ready to hoist him.
"hey, let me." lando said, stopping you before kneeling in front of daniel, back facing him. he swiftly move daniel arms around his shoulder.
lando hoist daniel on his back, and the sight is so bizarre. lando grunts as he walk to your car and daniel's legs drag lazily since he is significantly taller than him.
you and luisinha walk side by side ahead of the briton in comfortable silent. she had offer you lando's jacket which you politely refuse since she is also in sleeveless dress.
"sorry for ruining your date." you smile apologetically to her and she just wave you off with a smile.
"its not a big deal, really." she smile.
"(y/n) open the doorâughâquick! he is so heavy." lando grunts and you open the passenger door.
he drop daniel down slowly before strapping the seatbelt on his body. his chest rise and fall in rapid motion as he slowly close the door of your car.
"well that's a workout." he simply mumble, hands on his hips.
"thank you lando... you don't have to do all this but you still did, i appreciate it." you said, pulling lando to a hug.
the young briton laugh as he reply your hug, patting your back gently. "no problem y/n. now, lets go before you get hypothermia." he said.
you drive slowly pass the empty road, following lando's car in silent. every now and then you stole a glance to your friend, who is sleeping rather soundly. you slowly stroke his hair since he lean towards you, almost falling from the seat.
"y/n..." daniel softly calls your name.
you stop your movement as you watch how his face seems to contort in sad emotion. he looks so hurt.
"i'm here big guy." you whisper as you return your hand to his hair.
after another help from lando, you manage to somehow put daniel on the bed. you had bid you a goodnight with luinsha before entering the building with a hug. lando, who originally insist on staying, give you a concern look.
"you sure you want me to go?" lando asked one more time as you lean on the door, hand folded in front of your chest.
"c'mon now, i've known this man even before you learn your a b c, norris." you answer, rolling your eyes at the him.
"we're not 20 years apart, y/n. in fact lewis is older than you and daniel. stop treating me like a kid." he protest.
you give him a ruffle on his hair, messing his already messed up curls. "i'll be okay, i can handle him. now go, don't make lui wait even more."
lando give you a nod as he walk away, waving at you before jogging down to his car where his date is waiting for him to return her to her hotel. you waved back at the briton, waiting for him to dissapear. as lando took a turn and gone, you close the door as you walk to danielâwho currently sprawled on the bed.
you slowly starting to take of his shoes along with his socks. carefully, you turn his body so that he lay down on his back. you take a deep breath as you carefully unbutton his tropical shirt, and you had to close your eyes for a bit.
"can i bite you instead?"
you stopped your hand as you reach the last two button of his shirt, opening your eyes to watch daniel and how his chest rise and fall slowly.
goddamit control yourself, y/n.
you bit your lower lips as you continue your task, finally manage to unbutton his shirt. you slowly move your hands, slowly undressing the man and hoping you won't disturb him.
but your breath hitched when you feel a steel grip on both of your wrist, and your eyes widened. daniel had open his eyes, staring directly into your soul with half-lidded eyes.
and you are basically on top of him, jerking your body back so you won't fall on top of him.
"y/n?" he sofly call you.
"hello big guy."
"wha- i'm-"
"you're sobering up. lemme get you some aspirin and water." you said as you slowly taking both of your hands from his grasp.
daniel drop your hands as he sat down, rubbing his eyes and and holding his pounding head. he stare down at his-now unbutton-shirt, before shedding the cloth opting to go shirtless. he aimlessly throw his shirt then laying down again, this time massaging his temple.
you took the aspirin from your bag and then walk towards daniel, not forgetting the cold water bottle.
"drink this. and please put on some shirt." you said as you rolled your eyes, handing him both the aspirin tablet and water.
"why don't you put on shirt first?" he answer, sitting down once again as he drank the tablet and washing it down with water.
"well, thanks to you, dickhead, i forgot my coat. i had to turn myself into a f1 driver just so i can get you here." you said as you sit down on the sofa, right across him.
he feel his soberness coming back to him slowly and he feel how his stomach churn. so he walk towards the bathroom, washing his face with cold water.
"you've been driving in those?" he asked, half shouting from the bathroom.
"yeah." you answer, eyes on your phone as you let out a small yawn.
"who called you to pick me up?"
"lando norris. and also what the hell man, i thought you're wasted."
"my head is still pounding y/n, i am wasted."
"well, you're sober enough to nags."
daniel took a small towels from the shelf as he look at his reflection, noticing the redness of his eyes and his tears stain. he wash his face once again, making sure he got rid his tears stain. then he make his way to your direction.
"y/n its... 3.25 a.m, aren't you cold?" daniel asked, small towel on his hand after he pat his face dry.
"m' fine." you said.
when you finally look up from your phone, your eyes instantly widen. daniel is standing in front of you, still shirtless as he look up at the ceiling. he seems to not noticing how you're struggling to look away from him as he close his eyes to flex his sore muscle.
"gosh i'm getting old, a little drink got me wasted." he said, still unaware how you are a flustered mess.
you slap his stomach, earning a grunt from your friend. he touch his stomach, shoulder hunched as he dramatically fall to the floor.
"you hurt me, i can't believe this." he said with overexagarate tone.
"just put on some goddamn clothes, ricciardo." you said as you lay down on the sofa, ignoring the dramatic aussie.
and so he did. he rose from the floor and walk to his suitcase, and taking a random t-shirt. he also taking his flannel shirt (that he didn't know he have) and throw it at you. you swiftly catch the flannel before it hit your face.
"what is this?" you asked as you open the shirt.
"its a shirt, dumbass" he said as he wear his t-shirt.
"and why you throwing this at me?"
daniel, who currently struggling with his jeans, looking at you silently. "wear that. and also turn you body, i want to take off my pants."
you rolled your eyes as you turn your body, facing at the head of the sofa as you drapped the shirt daniel gave you over your body.
"what you're hiding behind your pants anyway. its not like i'm gonna stare and oogle at your body or something, you won't affect me." you said.
"well turn around and face me then. see if i dont affect you." he challanged.
"no! what? i won't do it you creep."
"face me yourself or do you want me to flip your body myself?"
"i am not gonna face you, you bogan." you said with a huff.
truth be told you are scared of what gonna happen if you turn your body to face him. you don't know if you can see him in the same way you've seen him for this past 20 years.
but you felt his hand on your shoulder, and before you can react daniel already turn your body. you let out a gasp as you dumbly stare at daniel who is hovering you, trapping your body on the sofa.
daniel look so hot from this angle. has he always looked this good? 20 years of friendship and you just see how good-looking this man is when he hover over you?
he give you a smirk as he inching closer to your face. you can smell his perfume mixed with whiskey and you can feel his breath fanning over you.
"you said i won't affect you. but you are as red as a tomato now, y/n." he whisper, hand cradling your jaw.
"its hot in here, move away." you said, looking away from him.
red alert, this is dangerous.
"really? because i believe it is cold in here. i saw your body shivering y/n." daniel said, inching closer to your ear. you can feel his nose ghosting over your skin.
"daniel..." you called, trying to warn him.
"y/n..." he reply.
"danny you don't want to do this, you are drunk."
"but i want to. for a long time." he whisper as he nuzzle to your neck.
okay, you really need to get out of here before its too late.
"y/n, please?" he beg, lips almost attached to your neck.
he sound so desperate, so wounded, and you almost choke on your own spit.
ah screw this.
you turn your face, hands grabbing his face as you lean in for a kiss. daniel grunts as he slowly lower his body, hands immediately went to your waist. he kissed you back, finally tasting your lips after what felt like eternity.
you tilted your head when you feel his hand at the back of your thigh. he guide your leg wrap it around his waist as your body pressed together.
oh you're so screwed.
you both finally let go of the kiss, staring at each other with that mixed feeling. and with last ounce of sanity left in your body, you jerked your body up, pushing the poor daniel aside.
daniel fell with an oof, and you quickly stand up.
"this is wrong this is wrong." you mumble as you walk to the table, grabbing your purse and key.
"waitây/n wait!" daniel said as he struggle to stand on his feet. "don't goâi'm sorry."
you basically run towards the door, opening the door harshly as daniel chase you. he calls your name but you ignore him, as you close the door behind you and immediately went for the elevator.
when the elevator door open you quickly enter and pressing the basement button. daniel was about to get you but the door is closing in.
"y/nâ"
as the door finally closing, you lean on the wall before sinking to the floor. you hide your face in your hands, breath ragged from all the adrenaline rush.
"what the hell." you muttered.
as the elevator finally reach the parking lot you bolted out, quickly running towards your car. its not hard to find your car since its the only aston martin there. you quickly enter your car, revving the engine.
there is a ring from your phone and you believe that it's daniel. so you decided to ignore the call and just drove away from the hotel. you nervously bit your bottom lips, contemplating on what just happen back then.
this is not good.

what about a pr relationship with max? đ
plot twist: itâs real | max verstappen
Everybody was whispering about a secret guest on the Red Bull garage. It was Brad Pitt, but you on the other side, walked freely around the paddock in Miami, just another celebrity making an appearance, no one suspected you would be his co-star, Brad Pittâs love interest or something along those lines.
However, the public did suspect something was going on between Max and you after the GP, even official Red Bull videos of you asking him questions as he drove at an extreme speed.
You started following each other in social media, tagging him on multiple stories during the weekend. The last one sent people into a frenzy, it was simple, just Max holding the trophy, blue eyes shining as he directly smiled at you; face red and sweaty, dark blond hair sticking to his forehead and extra fluffy from humidity, even the tip of his tongue was visible from how big he was smiling.
It was calculated to the second; every post, every appearance, every smile.
Anyone who was mildly involved in gossip and celebrity drama was aware that PR relationships were a think of the past, no one having the time to do such things nowadays.
Plus, with Deuxmoi on every corner and every available information, it wasnât a particularly smart move.
But no one said anything about hinting at something, studied long gazes, bad jokes on camera, walks on the beach, leaving clubs early with Max acting as a bodyguard of sorts. Of course people were speculating, young rising Hollywood star actress and Formula 1 prodigy, a talent so natural it was unbelievable.
A power couple.
Both you and Max were aware this was just to boost a movie while attracting more people to F1. But somewhere along the way, lines became a little blurry; hugs werenât mechanic, laughs were real, the butterflies appeared and suddenly, you were holding hands during your beach walks.
You were wearing his cap while walking on the sunny Los Angeles streets, boarding a plane to wherever the GP was taking place, the paddock, it became part of your every day look.
Max was seen on movie premieres, not walking the red carpet but quietly inside the theatre, his jet was seen landing on LAX more often, making appearances on movie sets.
During the weekend of the Monaco GP you decided to make it official, boyfriend and girlfriend. You fell asleep on his arms, naked chest under your head as he laughed at something you said, insisting he should be sleeping for FP3 and qualifying, but he couldnât, enjoying the way the way your breathing slowed down along the cata purring on the floor.
It was still unknown to everyone else, though. Of course, people in the paddock knew, Kym Illman photographing your arrival early in the morning sporting the Red Bull cap. Other celebrities attending the iconic GP noticing the obvious nature of your relationship, with Maxâs hand not even trying to hide the fact they were resting on your ass, fingers sneaking under your blouse to caress the skin.
Then, the obvious started to happen.
subject: Motorsport and Hollywood rising stars in love.
email: [email protected]
Message: I have it on good authority Hollywoodâs newest sweetheart will be starring along an iconic and heartbreaker actor in a driving movie, even the actor in question attended the Miami Grand Prix a couple of weeks ago.
The surprise is that the predicted winner of this F1 season and the actress are in a committed relationship ever since they met since this winner, gives-you-wings f1 team will be sponsoring and working in the movie. A source even told me they were seen making out on his yacht during the Monaco Grand Prix, and the actress was sitting and laughing with the driverâs mom and sister đ
user1: i bet my life this is max Emilian verstappen and (y/n), why else would max be seen in universal studios???
user 2: what about Florence Pugh and Charles Leclerc?
user3: no way, Florence attended with her bf!!!
user4: itâs giving pr for the movieđ
user5: (y/n) even comments on Victoria Verstappenâs post!!! and Max went out for drinks with Daniel Ricc, Pedro Pascal and Bradley cooper after the met, they probably met on set bc theyâre filming with (y/n) Theyâre not even hiding at this point!!!
Well, you kept hiding until it was time for the movie premier. Everyone from Red Bull was invited; Checo, Daniel and Max arriving together, Christian and Geri were naturals, but Max was waiting for you on the red carpet.
Your Versace dress was the perfect fit, Max couldnât help but look at your ass and boobs, not caring photographers were everywhere, it was time to stop sneaking and pretending you were just friends.
His arm found its place on your waist, dedicating you his brightest smile before kissing your lips, people screaming your names, but your eyes only found his blue ones, shining under the flashes and holding his hand.

I think he knows - g.russell
masterlist
t-swift inspired works list
requested: n
pairings: George russell x Wolff!fem!reader
warnings: none???
a/n: Iâm so sorry the plot is hella slow đ„Č I also really donât love this fic. feedback is always appreciated x
He got that boyish look that I like in a man
It's like I'm seventeen, nobody understands
he may not have picked it up at first, but it didnât take him long to notice your eyes lingered on him longer than most.
that when he walked into the garage your whole mood changed, despite how hard you tried to make it not obvious, he knew. or at least, he began to know.
you spend a lot of time together, whether itâs around the paddock, in the hospitality, or at your fathers summer houseâ which is where you are now.
heâs sipping on a beer, standing next to Toto at the grill, two of them chatting about upcoming races and whatever seems to entertain them. jack bolts in front of you, heading out the back door where he spotted George, âGeorgie porgie!â he screams, arms locking around his thin legs.
âwho taught you that nickname?â he looks up from the little boy at you shrugging, little blush warming your face.
âyou shouldâve known to never trust me when you told me that.â you smile softly, your fingers nervously playing with the ends of your hair as you stand with the two listening in on their conversation.
Toto is talking about an important FIA event that the Mercedes team will have to attend, itâs not in anyoneâs interests to go, but itâs mandatory and your father marked George for him and a plus one. neither of you know that he did this on purpose. because you see, Toto is like everyone else, tired of seeing his own daughter so madly in love with a boy whoâs so oblivious. so yes, heâs willing to push you both towards each other if neither of you will do it yourselves.
âand Iâve got you marked for a plus one.â
you watch Georgeâs eyes widen, they dart between him and susie, who just stepped out onto the porch with a drink for you, âa plus one? when did I ever indicate I had someone?â
Susieâs hand rests against your arm, âwell why donât you just take y/n? that way I can be Totoâs plus one and wonât have to fight for the seat.â she smiles brightly between the two of you, itâs too rehearsed. you notice something was up with their behavior, but George doesnât.
âthat seat can be yours, Iâll just stay home and watch jack.â you look down at the little boy, heâs on the patio wood panel playing with his trucks and formula one cars beside Georgeâs feet.
Toto turns from the grill, shaking his head, âGeorge has an extra seat just go with him.â he pats his driver on the back, and when you go to lock eyes, you notice his have already been on you. it makes your heart nearly skip a beat, how long had he been looking?
âGeorge has to ask me, not have you two do it for him.â
â
all dinner he steals quick glances at you. each time he does, he watches your eyes break from his when he looks up at you. heâs definitely beginning to figure thereâs something worth looking at whether itâs behind him or beside him, but itâs when your two drinks in and your eyes stay longer he figures, itâs him.
itâs him youâre looking at the whole time. itâs him youâre fixating on, not begging for him to look your way, just taking in every beautiful feature of his face. like the crease in his smile, the way he laughs, and the way his eyes light up around jack. you pick it all up, you want that of a man. you think thereâs no one more perfect than him.
the meals are cleaned off everyoneâs plates. Susie and Toto are inside cleaning, leaving you and george to build a fire while jack plays on his swing set.
he brushes past you, heading for the pile of newspapers and throws them at the bottom of the pit, while you stack wood the way your father taught you.
âitâll be a nice fire?â he looks over at you, watching you struggle with the lighter. he reaches over and presses the button, watching a flame nearly take the ends of your hair. heâs quick to pull your hair behind your shoulders, two of you nervously laughing about the flame.
finally lighting the fire you take a seat next to George, two of you watching the orange and red flames dance around the pit, feeling the breeze of the air pick up.
âIâm going to go grab a sweatshirt, can you watch jack?â
âhere just take mine.â he doesnât give you time to reply, heâs pulling the neckline of the crewneck, it brushes over his dirty blond hair. you watch his t-shirt underneath rise up a little showing off his abs, that he loves to show off all the time, and soon enough the soft material is placed in your lap.
âall yours.â he smiles watching your eyes flicker up from his black t-shirt up to meet his greenish blue ones, you canât help but lean a little closer when you thank him.
itâs now his turn to watch you throw on his sweatshirt, watching the way you rise a bit out of the chair to throw on the soft cotton material. the way it messes your perfectly curled hair, and how you wrap the material closer against your body, âthanks, Georgie.â
he reaches over, combing some of the strains of your hair out of your face, he feels his own smile pull wider seeing how dilated your pupils were, itâs so obvious. you really do like him, âwhat do you say, you want to be my plus one?â
âI would love to.â
âI knew youâd say that.â
He got my heartbeat
Skipping down 16th Avenue
Got that, oh! I mean
Wanna see what's under that attitude
Like, I want you, bless my soul
And I ain't gotta tell him
I think he knows

Character:Â librarian!Andy Barber
Note: we got that xmas hangover.
As per usual, I humbly request your thoughts! Reblogs are always appreciated and welcomed, not only do I see them easier but it lets other people see my work. I will do my best to answer all I can. Iâm trying to get better at keeping up so thanks everyone for staying with me <3
Your feedback will help in this and future works (and WiPs, I havenât forgotten those!)
Love you all. Take care. đ
You get to the bottom of your glass before youâre even done your sides. You pick at the white meat and smear it into the puddle of gravy that floods the plate. Each bite is better than the last, easing that tenuous knot in your stomach. You havenât eaten like this in weeks.
âMore wine?â Steve offers as he grabs the bottle again, topping up his own glass before gesturing to your own.
Andy clears his throat as you look up. For a moment, there was only you and the plate. A soft fog limns the edges of your vision and dampens your worries. You peek around as Amber leans in from your other side.
âIâll take some more if thereâs enough,â Amber shifts her glass over, a mouthful still in the belly, âitâs so good. Iâll have to take a picture of the label.â
Her arm touches yours. Sheâs giving you permission, more so encouraging you. Is it so bad to enjoy yourself? Even Andy said today is special. A little bit of wine isnât so bad. You barely feel any different.
âSure, Iâll⊠Iâll have a bit more, please.â
Andy sniffs but you refuse to look at him again. You caught the glint of his disapproval before. Heâs never happy with anything you do unless itâs⊠that. Steve pours the golden wine into your glass, then Amberâs, only a small amount left in the bottom as he sets the bottle down.
You chew on a gristly portion of meat, the clink of cutlery filling the strained silence. Amber sighs and takes a drink, carefully placing the flat base of her glass on the table. She swallow as stirs her mashed potatoes.
âSo, you said you were almost done your painting?â She begins, âIâll have to check it out after dinner.â
âMm,â Andy grumbles, âgarage gets pretty cold this time of year.â
âIâll put a coat on,â Amber shrugs, âIâd love to see what youâve been working on. You know I always love your art. ActuallyâŠâ you can tell sheâs rambling, out of nervousness, but more to fill the lull, âI was hoping you might make me something, if you have the time.â
âI couldâŠâ you begin.
âShe can give you a quote,â Andy intones curtly. Your eyes flick over to him, surprised. âCanât make much off a hobby.â
âOh, of course, I wouldnât presume,â Amber says, âmaterials plus work.â
âI hate to overstep but Iâd love to have a look as well,â Steve says.
Your eyes round and you nod, cheeks hot at the prospect of showing them. Your work is always so personal and this piece feels even more so. Your first major commission and itâs almost done. Itâs a real accomplishment, how did you not see that before?
âSure,â you gulp.
âAfter the banana pudding of course,â Amber insists, âsave some room, bub.â
You smile as your stomach squeezes tight. If you eat much more, you wonât have room for dessert. You reach for your glass to wash down the stuffing. The wine makes you feel hollow, it gives you room for more.
âLot of sugar,â Andy comments.
âItâs Thanksgiving,â Amber shrugs, âwhatâs a few extra calories? Besides, it's tradition.â
âYour tradition,â Andy snips.
âWell, if you donât want any, more for us, right, bub?â She nudges you gently with her elbow.
You nod, âitâs my favourite.â
âBub?â Andy scoffs, âsheâs an adult.â
Amber sits back sharply and hovers her fork over her plate. She stares at Andy as he glares back. Tension roils between them.
âAnd Iâm so proud of her,â her words drip with venom, "sheâs come so far. Steve,â she looks at the therapist as he watches with arched brows, âthank you so much for all youâve done for my sister. I see how far sheâs come.â
âSheâs a strong woman,â Steve leans on an elbow and lifts his glass, âsheâs doing all the heavy lifting.â
Your chest flutters as you kick your legs in giddiness. The smile he aims at you takes your breath away. It feels good to have someone proud of you, but him? Itâs amazing. You feel like you could do anything, that he truly believes that you can.
âThanks,â you squeak and take another drink.Â
Andy huffs and sits back. Your gaze meets his as you swallow and pull the crystal rim away from your lip. You lick away the glisten of wine as he watches you. Your glee quickly dissipates as the heat of the alcohol mingles with the blaze of his chagrin. Youâre almost annoyed by it.Â
Why canât he just be happy? Everyone else is.
đïž
âGood job,â Amber preens as you slice fresh banana, âwhipped cream is ready.â
She lines up the four clear bowls on the counter as she stands beside you. She pulls close the bowl of banana pudding and spoons it into each. You can smell the banana-ey goodness. It makes your wine-coated stomach growl.
âThen some cream,â she dollops some of the whipped cream onto each, âand then,â she slides a bowl your way, âyou can add as many slices as you like.â
You arrange five slices on the first bowl; one in the center and four around the edge. She passes the next bowl and you do the same. She adds a spoon to each and spins one in admiration.
âAlright, weâll get it on the tray,â she declares.
You nod, stifling a yawn. Your eyes are itchy as the large meal weighs down your stomach. You could nap right then and there. The wineâs glimmery effect doesnât help your state as you feel slightly off kilter after two and a half glasses.
She loads up the rectangle tray with the bowls, then pulls over a round one. She places the full teapot beside the coffee urn, then stacks four cups on it, alongside some spoons, the sugar bowl, and a small jug of dairy.
âYou got that,â she gestures to the pudding.
You grab the tray and slide it to the edge of the counter. Your fingers loop through the slots in the side and you lift it, focusing on keeping it all steady. You smile as Amber balances the tray of drinks.
âYou feeling okay?â She asks.
âYes,â you chirp, âIâm excited for the pudding.â
She laughs and shakes her head, âalways were easy to please.â
She leads you into the front room. The football game buzzes on as Andy sits with his chin in his hand, elbow on the armrest, and Steve stands by the mantel, playing with the signed baseball. Itâs stolidly silent beneath the drone of sport commentators.
âCoffee, tea,â Amber places her tray on the low table, âand my famous banana pudding. Well, she did most of the work.â
She turns and smiles at you. You look around as you falter. You just stare dumbly, unsure of what to do next.
Steve makes you flinch as he approaches, âmay I?â He waves a hand towards the tray in your arms. You nod and he takes one with a thanks. âMmm, smells and looks delicious.â
He backs away, cradling the bowl with one hand as he stirs the spoon around. You turn awkwardly and march over to Andy. You offer the tray and his dull gaze drifts to you. He sits back and lets his arm fall straight over the armrest.
âIâm full,â he says.
You wince and look down. Oh. You just stand there.
âHere,â Amber comes up and touches your elbow, âlet me get this.â
You spin, startled, and the bowls slide over the tray. One flips over the edge as Amber catches the tray and the pudding splatters onto the carpet around your feet. You squeak and look down as your sister takes the tray from your grasp. She sets it by the coffee and tea as you step back and gape at the mess.
âJesusâŠâ Andy sighs as he leans forward to take in the mess.
âAccidents happen,â Amber takes your hand and guides you away from the pudding, âno big lossâŠâ she gets down to scoop up the globs with her bare hand back into the bowl, âyouâre not having any and nothing broke.â
You look between them. Andy scowls as Amber is unbothered. She gathers up the sticky mess and stands.
âIâll go grab some paper towel,â she says.
âThatâs gonna be hard to get out,â Andy glowers at the carpet.
âI can get it out,â Amber assures, âdonât let me ruin dessert.â
She strolls out and you hear her clinking in the kitchen. She appears again with the roll of paper towel and a bowl of water. She gets down and starts her tedious work of trying to sop up the remnants.
âYou know, it didnât get too deep,â Amber says as she works.
You watch her and sway, putting a heel back to keep yourself steady. You cover your mouth and swallow a burp. Your sister looks up at your looming figure.
âHave some pudding, bub.â
You murmur, something indiscernible. Itâs hard to move as you feel Andy watching you. You know you messed up again. That heâs upset. He wonât eat the pudding and now youâve gone and made a mess.Â
You tremble as you feel an ache inside. For an instant, you feel smothered, as if you're being held down.
âItâs good,â Steve encourages as he shows half a banana slice on his spoon, âthanks, girls.â
You try to smile at him but canât. Instead, you claim a bowl but your excitement is gone. You flop onto the couch, catching your spoon before it can tip over the edge, and rest the bowl in your lap. Youâre going to be good and eat your pudding. You canât get in trouble if you focus on that.
âSheâs drunk,â Andy accuses as your spoon clacks loudly on the side of the bowl.Â
âSheâs fine,â Amber insists as she wets the paper towel, âreally, she had two glasses, sheâll survive.â
âShe doesnât drink,â he retorts.
âWhat number is that?â She glances at the green bottle by his elbow, âthree? Four? You said it yourself, sheâs an adult.â
He snarls, âdo you always come into peopleâs houses and argue with them?â
She tuts and shakes her head. She says nothing though you see her response clenched in her jaw. She continues her work, drying up the patch with a folded square of paper towel before standing. She disappears into the kitchen and returns.Â
She grabs a bowl and sits between you and Andy. She leans over as you stir your pudding but donât taste it. Youâre embarrassed and your appetite is gone.
âCome on, bub, itâs your favourite,â she coaxes.
You sniffle, only then feeling the prick in your eyes. Andyâs right, youâre drunk. You donât feel good. Youâre dizzy and tired and you just want to hide.
âIâm sorryâŠâ you babble.
âAw, bub, itâs okay. You can always save it for later,â she assures you, âdo you need some water?â
âI told you, you gave her too much wineââ
âAndrew,â Amber snaps as she whips her head around, âsheâs fine. Weâre fine. I got it.â
âDonât talk to me like that. In my home,â Andy girds.
âEveryone, chill out,â Steve puts his empty bowl on the tray, âyouâre both stressing her out. Thatâs all. Sheâs fine,â he nears the couch, âhow about we get some fresh air, huh?â
Amber looks up at Steve, âIâm sorry, I wasnât meaning toââ
âNo, donât be,â he assures as he gently takes the bowl from your hands, âitâs part of therapy. One of her exercises. She gets overstimulated.â
âOh?â Amber looks at you and back to the doctor, âyeah, she⊠does.â
âI suggest the both of you take a few breaths as well,â he chuckles as he helps you stand, âweâll be a couple minutes.â He touches your arm as you get to your feet, barely feeling your own body move, âhey, how about we get your coat on and go outside?â
Your eyes flick up and you nod blankly. You donât really understand what heâs saying, you just know he wants to get you away from this. You wish they could just get along. You wish you didnât cause all this trouble.
âIâm sorry, bub,â Amber says.
âYou two,â Steve points at your sister then Andy, âtalk this out.â
Silence, sweltering and suffocating pervades the room as the doctor leads you out. Only the television continues to blare as he stops you in the entryway and pulls a coat onto your shoulders. He gets down to lead your feet into your boots and then puts on his own.Â
He opens the front door and shuffles you outside. The autumnal air sweeps around you and you pull the coat snug against the shiver that rolls through you. You look down as a swell of woodsy scent tickles your nostrils. Itâs his coat. Itâs loose on you but warm.
You look up at Steve as he stands, unaffected in the thick wool of his sweater. He puts his hand on your shoulder and squeezes, âtough day.â
âI⊠I am drunk,â you admit.
âThatâs fine,â his hand trails down your arm, âyouâre allowed to indulge, sweetheart. And a day like this, who wouldnât?â
âHeâs mad,â you say.
âLet him be.â
âButâŠâ
âThe both of them are too stubborn for their own good. They both love you but they canât see past that. They shouldnât be fighting for your love, they need to share it,â he runs his hand back up as you teethe your lip. He touches your cheek, the warmth of his fingertips making you shudder, âbut I canât blame them. Youâre a special girl, who wouldnât want all of you?â
You bat your lashes up at him. Huh? You donât know what he means, but it feels good. Everything he says is just so wonderful.
He smiles at you, his fingertips dancing along your jaw. You gaze up at him, hypnotized by his deep blue eyes. In that moment, you feel drawn to him, magnetized by his touch. He steps closer and you quiver again. His eyes fall to your legs as you rub them together, the cold wind gusting up your short skirt.
âOh, you must be freezing,â he drops his hand back to your shoulders, âyouâd be much cozier in one of your cute little sweaters huh?â
You nod, dumbly. You canât speak. You can only think about the weight of his large hand on his shoulder. You think about the vibrator in your drawerâŠ
âHere, you need this,â he surprises you as he pulls you close, embracing you against the chill, âitâs amazing what a good hug can do.â
You stand stiff and stunned. His scent rises from his sweater and from the coat around your shoulders. Youâre consumed by it and the heat rippling off of him. You let yourself sink into him, bending your arms slowly to hug him back. Something youâve never really done with anyone but Amber.
âItâll be okay, sweetheart,â he coos as he rocks you, âyouâre doing really good. Donât let them ruin all your hard work.â He pets your head and nuzzles your hair, âyouâre a very good girl,â he purrs, arenât you?â
âYes, Dr. Kemp,â you press your cheek against his chest and close your eyes, a smile dimpling into your cheeks.
âAlright, so you keep being good for me, sweetheart,â he strokes down the back of your neck, âwhen we go back in, youâre going to be strong, right?â
âYes, doctor,â you murmur.
âGood girl,â he praises again, gently releasing you and leaving you even colder than before, âI know you care about both of them but remember, you can tell them no.â He drags his hand around you frame your face, âI think they need to hear it.â He drops his hand, turning his palm up as he turns halfway back to the door, âready?â
You reach for his hand and squeeze it, facing the suburban facade, âIâm strong,â you repeat, âIâm gonna be good.â
