Prompt req with Barba and reader pls: 🎃 “Leave some candy for the kids!” from the spooky prompt list I reblogged.

“Don’t buy the best candy for the kids and I won’t eat any of it then”, he said with a smirk on his lips. Rafael’s entire face was lit up with mischief.

“You and your sweet tooth Rafael!” It wasn’t meant to hurt. But he still gave you the fake hurt expression on his face. The kind that made you want to kiss him until neither could breathe.

Which is just what you started doing when there was a knock on the door.

“Trick or treat!!” Two of the kids from further down in the apartment building cried out as you opened the door.

“What great costumes! Almost thought you guys were the real deal.” They giggled at that holding out their bucket for treats, which Rafael gave them.

After the sweets were all gone you went to hang a note on the door with “Dracula ate the last chocolate bar” before going back to cuddle with Rafael on the couch for the rest of the night. Both promptly falling asleep not too long after.

Headcanon: Carisi uses big words in bed & Rafael momentarily forgot he was at work

May I please request #6 from the 3 word sentences with Rafael Barba? Thank you!

Rafael knew it had been coming. You'd been cagey around him, and he was wondering if you wanted to break it off with him.

Last week alone, you had mentioned wanting to find ways to spend more time together, but all he had done was continue working, leaving no spare room to see each other.

And now, you asked him to dinner Friday night, telling him that you both had a big decision to make.

This was it, he told himself. This was the night you'd give him the ultimatum; you or work. And you both knew he couldn't choose you.

He had his stomach tied in knots all damn day before making his way to the place you had your first date. How poetic.

His heart was in his throat as he entered, and there you were. You wore your best dress, and it hung on your body perfectly. This is what you're giving up, the dress screamed at him.

After he took your hand, brushing his lips to your knuckles, he led you to a table. The waiter was there instantly, and Rafael ordered a bottle of wine he knew you both liked. Once food orders were in and wine was presented, he looked to you.

"Rafael--" you started, but he cut you off.

"Be gentle, please." His voice was more strained that he hoped, but he didn't want to lose you.

You quirked an eyebrow at him before pushing on. "I'm tired of not being able to spend much time with you."

Here it comes....

"So, I was wondering if you'd like to move in together?"

There was a ringing in Rafael's ears, and he was sure he had misheard. "What?" he practically blurted.

"I know. I feel weird basically asking to move into your place--it's bigger and most my stuff is there, anyways--but I really think we're at that point in the relationship."

Your words were coming out fast, and he realized how nervous you must've been to ask. But it still wasn't computing in his brain.

"You...want to move in together? With me?"

"Well, yeah--who else?" You gave a nervous little laugh. "I mean, I love you, Rafael."

He was getting a second chance with you, a second chance to hold on and never let go. A second chance to show you how much he loved you, too.

"I'd--I think that would be wonderful," he replied, smiling as your eyes lit up.

"Really?! Because I've always wanted to wake up to you in bed, and sleep next to you, and have dinner with you, and rearrange furniture with you--"

He let you talk yourself into excitement, smiling and thanking his stars that you weren't breaking up with him.

Can you pretty pretty please write a HC for Barba with an s/o who isn't adventurous in bed? Missionary Mondays and sometimes oral and she's super insecure bc he's so adventurous and she feels like she can't seduce him?

Dearest Anon,

I'm so sorry this HC took me so long ❤️ I wasn't totally sure where (if anywhere) you wanted this to lead, but hopefully you see this and it's what you imagined. Thank you so much for your patience

Sinceriously,

Hero

"You don't need to be adventurous for me to find you sexy, you know." He said it all the time, but still you worried. Even though he always assured you that he was satisfied, that he loved you exactly as you were, that he didn't believe he lacked for anything in the relationship. And maybe Rafael was right and you had nothing at all to worry about; your insecurity had certainly never come from anything he said or did. Still, you had noticed that any time he led an intimate moment it was much more... adventurous than anything you had ever dreamed up.

The most adventurous you ever got was oral sex in the shower, and that was after he suggested the shower to begin with. At best, you could only take partial credit for the encounter. Apart from the one time, Missionary Mondays made up most of your sexual repertoire. You had even found yourself in the grocery line with your nose need in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan one afternoon while you waited for your purchases to be scanned. It was never the ideas you lacked, but merely the confidence to suggest them in the first place.

You knew you were a good girlfriend; loyal, faithful, and with an emotional and spiritual connection that both of you swore you had never felt before. Your sexual connection — though potent — was, to say the least, predictable. Routine.

Rafael always insisted that he didn't need a wild sex life so long as the love was there, and the love was most certainly there. You felt it every time he looked into your eyes, cradling your face between two large gentle hands and grazing the tip of your nose with his own. Still, you wanted to keep things exciting for him. You wanted to see the look of wonder and anticipation in his eyes that you saw whenever you tried something new. Even when he was the kne to suggest it, there was a thrill that seemed to come over him as the two of you experienced something together for the first time. It was intoxicating, and inspiring.

"Mi amor, I love you as you are. I love you because of who you are, not in spite of it," he reiterated for what felt like the first and thousandth time. You never grew tired of hearing it, but vowed to try suggesting something new in the bedroom at least once every quarter. And even though he never expected it, Rafael had been more than willing to encourage your efforts and help you build up your confidence to explore your own sexuality. All the while enjoying every Missionary Monday as though it was the first time all over again.

Rafael Barba can't drive. He never learned.

He don't have a driver's license.

[adarafaelbarba]

Hello, could you write anything that your awesome heart desires about Rafael Barba? He is my go to comfort character and I am doing really annoying work stuff today.

An: I’m so embarrassed at the fact that I never got this out. I’m so sorry 🫣❤️ School and work kinda got in the way for my creativity for a while 🫣❤️

Besides visiting his mom or having a drink on his hard days, Rafael loves going to see you. He won’t tell you, but you’re his favorite person, and he feels he can come to you for anything, no matter what.

So that’s where he found himself this evening, laying on your couch, relaxing as you made dinner for the two of you. As soon as he had appeared at your door, you told him to go lay down, that dinner still needed a minute.

“Stay awake for me Rafael, you need a good meal.” You murmured, caressing hair out of his face then cupping his cheek.

He hummed at that, looking up at you where you sat on the edge of the couch, just by his waist. “I wouldn’t mind just going straight to bed.”

That made you chuckle, and you leant over to kiss his forehead, “Stay awake a little longer, and then I’ll let you sleep.”

There was no arguing you, he knew that. Didn’t stop him from trying though. But with one simple look, he stopped himself, instead turning his head to press a soft kiss in the palm of your hand.

After dinner he’s quick to pull you in for a hug, and a soft kiss, thanking you for taking such good care of him.“Of course, Rafa, you would’ve done the same for me.” You simply state, smiling at him and kissing him again.

How about “please don’t leave.” With my favorite man Barba?

"Please don't leave," you groan, eyes closed.

Rafael chuckles as he buttons up his shirt. "You know when I get called by Jack, I've got to go in."

"But you're warm and cuddly and it's supposed to be our day to catch up!"

"I know, amore. And if I could crawl back into bed with you, I would. But the mayor is on our ass about this case--"

"Fuck the mayor," you spit. That damn mayor has called in too many favors with the DA's office.

"Nah, he only goes for 20 year old women," Rafael quips, and you smile.

Shirt buttoned and suspenders pulled into place, Rafael walks over to where you're still laying in bed. The sheets are low on your hips, leaving your breast bare, nipples peaking in the cold of the morning.

He leans down to kiss you gently, muttering, "I'll be home for lunch--I'll bring your favorite."

You grin up at him. "You better--I'll have your favorite waiting, too." You shift your hips and he laughs at your meaning.

"I can't wait."

⏰ and 🙈 for Barba, please?

⏰ fave time of day to have sex & 🙈 something they’re shy about asking for

Favorite time of day to have sex...

His favorite favorite time is a late weekend morning. Nowhere to be, no rushing. Just sleeping late, waking up tangled together, slow and sensual. He loves being able to take his time and take you apart. And then laying together after, just running his hands all over you, holding you close, making out, lazy and languid.

But that's a rare occurrence. In an every day sense, he prefers late night. He is not a morning person, especially super early on a weekday when he has to get up and get ready for work. At best, you might get a grunt and a brush of his lips against your cheek if you bring him a fresh cup of coffee as he's getting out of the shower. But you're more likely to just get a grunt and a grumpy glare as he stumbles through his morning routine.

But after work, when he's getting home? He loves it. In the early days, it's a passionate, tearing each other's clothes off after meeting up for a late drink. Stumbling into his apartment, unwilling to take your hands off each other for long enough to make it into the bedroom without hinderance. Then as it becomes more regular, more settled, it's laying on the couch turning into a handsy make out, turning into sex. Or one of the other of you coming home very late to find the other in bed, waiting up. (Or sometimes not waiting up, but sleepily responding to the other sliding into bed). And he's always been a big fan of an orgasm to help him sleep. Switches his brain off and lets him relax enough to drift off.

Something he's shy about asking for...

The two of you had been out to dinner early on in your relationship, and you had ordered something divine for dessert. Without thinking you had turned to him, spoon laden with a huge bite, telling him to open up because he had to try this. He accepted the spoonful, wrapping his lips around it and swallowing, flushing at how you watched his mouth. He shivered when you swiped your thumb over his lower lip as you pulled the spoon back, catching a drip of the caramel sauce and then pressing it agains his lips until he parted them, tongue darting out to lick it up.

He was flushed, trembling a bit, and half-hard in his pants from that small, seemingly guileless gesture. He wanted to ask for a second taste, have you feed it to him. But was way too mortified at this development to ask.

He's not sure if you ever notice on your own just how much he loves it when you feed him bits like that. Tastes of your meal, chips or kernels of popcorn or chocolate covered almonds while you're tangled up on the couch watching tv. You do it regularly, but not frequently. And the expression on your face never gives away anything. He both desperately wants you to notice what it does to him and desperately doesn't. How it makes his cheeks flush and eyes dilate. How he gets hard, is a bit needier than usual when you get him naked later.

He's probably never going to admit it on his own, or ever ask for it. But he loves when you feed him bits like that.
