baby steps | lando norris
pairing: lando norris x wife!reader (plus their adorable lil kiddo)Â
genre: fluff
warnings: noneÂ
word count: 2.5k
summary: Lando needs a little bit of encouragement to head off to his first race after the birth of your daughter, so what better thing to do than surprise him on race day?
note: this fic can be read as a stand alone or as part of the racer girl series !
---
When you first showed Lando the two lines on your positive pregnancy test, your entire world had changed. It felt like such a whirlwind of excitement, and before you knew it you were 9 months pregnant watching Landoâs races on television. It was pure luck that your water only broke the day after the season ended, which meant that Lando had a cherished couple of months with your baby girl, Piper, before heading back to racing.Â
The two of them had become quite the dynamic duo in your household. From the moment that Lando first looked at your daughter, he knew that he was in love. He was an amazing father and you told him exactly that at every moment you could. It was one of the biggest fears that Lando had, being an absent father or not knowing what to do. Before you met Lando he was fully in his bachelor lifestyle, not once even thinking of kids, but now he was the biggest girl dad youâve ever seen, giving into your daughterâs every whim. Itâs exactly why Lando says he wants to give up racing all together once he sees your daughter cry for the first time when he leaves to go to the MTC for the first time since she was born - he would do anything for Piper, he would give up everything he loved if it meant that his little girl would be happy. Luckily, he had you to keep him grounded, and after more than a couple of tearful conversations you had helped Lando make peace with continuing on with his career with you and your daughter there to support him in the background. This was the first week that this was truly going to be tested though, since it was finally time for him to fly to Bahrain.Â
âSay goodbye to daddy!â you say as you pick up your daughterâs hand to make her wave.Â
You can see the way the wheels are turning in Landoâs head as he stays frozen in the entryway. Heâs not forgetting anything, thereâs no way he could with your packing lists that heâs used for every single race since you started dating. Even if he did forget something, he knows he could easily get someone from the team to either shop for him or send it over.
âY/N I - , I donât know anymore about this,â Lando mutters with his grip on the door handle loosening.Â
âLan, cmon now, I canât have two babies in this house at once.â you joke as you pinch his cheek. âBut seriously, youâre gonna be okay? Just do your best out there. Iâm only a phone call away all the time if you need me. Youâre going to be great and weâre cheering you on from here. Iâll send you all the pictures and videos and everything so itâll feel like youâre still with us.â
While Piper canât talk yet, she still reaches out to Lando to gently pat his shoulder - which only brings more tears to the forefront of Landoâs eyes. He always said his daughter was smart beyond her years, able to sense things even some adults donât notice.Â
âWhat if Piper canât fall asleep without me reading her story? What if she learns how to walk before Iâm gone? Or what if she forgets that I even exist?âÂ
âFirst off, I have memorized âthe Rainbow Fishâ perfectly from the 7 different times you taught me it. Sheâs not going to walk because sheâs barely 8 months old. And lastly, sheâs not going to forget you Lando, I promise you that. Do you trust me?âÂ
Lando doesnât miss a beat when he says âalways.âÂ
You hand your daughter off to Landoâs arms in exchange for the carry on thatâs currently in his hands. You know that all he needs to do is hold her, to remember that feeling of being with her so he can keep that memory with him for the week ahead. Youâre not the only one whoâs noticed the way that Piper always immediately seems to calm down whenever sheâs in her dadâs arms. There was something special between the two of them, something so unbreakable - which is exactly what you tell Lando.Â
âPlus I think sheâs in that phase where sheâs starting to like you better, so I could use some alone time with our little bugâ you tease as you squish your daughterâs cheeks. When Lando sees you cracking jokes it makes him feel a little more at ease - if you were so comfortable with this then why shouldnât he be too? With one last hug and kiss, Lando finally walks out the door with a promise to facetime you once he gets to the airport.Â
Piper starts crying the second she realizes that her dad is really gone, and honestly you shed a few tears too.
 âDonât worry Pipes, weâre going to see daddy sooner than you think,â you whisper to your daughter as you try to soothe her. Little did Lando know that you had a bag packed in your bedroom for you and your daughter to surprise him at the paddock on race day.
â
The expectations were low for Lando in Bahrain, both from the media and from himself. He had been very upfront about having different priorities this summer than just racing, so he had been a write-off in so many peopleâs minds. Thatâs what made it even sweeter when Lando saw the checkered flag first in Bahrain, marking the very first time he had ever won at the circuit. Itâs no secret that Lando had become more sensitive since he had become a dad, but when he says âThis one is for my girls, I love you Y/N and Piperâ over the radio, it brings tears to everyoneâs eyes.Â
Lando is already over the moon. He gives a big cheer to the roaring crowd before going to hug the rest of the team. Itâs absolutely electric and it really seems like everyone, regardless of whether they are a McLaren fan or not, could appreciate how much this win meant to him.Â
But the sweetest moment is when he spots you. Youâre a little bit off to the side, a couple of security guards standing around you to make sure that nobody would try and trample over you and Piper. Little Piper is wearing a pair of noise canceling McLaren branded headphones on her ears as she hangs out happily in your arms. Itâs like she spots her dad at the same time too, since she starts waving her arms in Landoâs direction. Lando immediately stops everything heâs doing to run over to you two. You have a knowing look in your eye, like you were just waiting for him to finally spot you both.Â
âOh my god, youâre here.â Lando lets out a breath he didnât even know he was holding. Having you both here makes him finally feel complete, like his heart was finally whole again.Â
âThereâs no way we were going to miss daddyâs first race of the season. Congratulations, babeâÂ
Lando has questions of course - how you managed to pull this off without him noticing, whether Piper gave you trouble on the plane, and so much more. For now, though, he just wants to spend time with you two. He almost forgets that heâs at the race entirely, let alone that he won it until a team member comes up behind him to ask him if heâs ready to do his interview 5 minutes from now.Â
When Piper reaches over with her little grabby hands for Lando, you of course give into her whims as you pass her over to the sweaty driver. It also gives you a second to pull out your phone and capture the moment for yourself. Piper is playing with the visor on Landoâs helmet, learning a new form of peek a boo that you know that sheâs going to want to keep playing when you get home. Youâre the one who helps keep Lando on track, giving him one last kiss on his helmet before you tell him to head off towards the hoard of media personnel eagerly awaiting his appearance. When you go to take Piper back from him she refuses to budge, and with both Piper and Lando giving you their classic puppy dog eyes, you know youâre outnumbered.Â
âKeep her safe, Lan, okay?â Itâs a rhetorical question. You know that Lando wouldnât let anything happen to her - but itâs still a big crowd, the biggest youâve ever been since you gave birth, and itâs a little scary to not hold onto her here.Â
You donât think anyone has ever seen Will Buxton this happy as he pulls Lando aside for his post-race interview.Â
âI have to say, congratulations on an absolutely brilliant drive from you today, Lando - and would you like to introduce the special guest youâve brought with you?â Will asks with a grin.Â
Lando canât help the similar smile that is etched on his face as he looks at his little girl. âThis is my daughter Piper, and sheâs just the best thing that has ever happened to me. And I canât share enough praise for my beautiful wife Y/N too - words canât describe how much she means to me.I really wouldnât be standing here in front of you today without her support.â Lando looks back at you with a smile and kisses Piper on the cheek to end off his sentence, but Piper seems to be more interested in the texture of the mic than her dad at the moment.Â
âWhat does it mean to you to have this be your first win as a father, Lando?âÂ
âOh man, this little girl is everything to me - I just want to do my best on the track so that Piper can look back and always be proud to have me as her dad.âÂ
The moment is made extra sweet as Piper tosses and turns in Landoâs hold so that she can cling to him like a koala bear, pulling herself further into Landoâs chest. She is starting to like the microphone just as much as Lando, so she pulls her face right onto it before she says her very first word - âdadaâ.
At first Lando thinks heâs hallucinating - thereâs so many people around and thereâs so much noise that he can barely hear himself think. But then Piper says it again and he canât help but start to cry.
âShe -, she- called me dada, oh my god I canât believe it,â Landoâs in pure disbelief as he stares in awe at his little girl and looks back at you watching in the crowd. For a minute he forgets that thereâs a full corral of people watching him until he hears a collective âawwwâ from the crowd. âSorry itâs just -, wow, sheâs never done that before.â he says sincerely as he wipes the tears from his cheeks.
Itâs now Piperâs turn to cry as she gets overwhelmed with all the eyes that are staring at her, pushing the microphone away from her as she buries her head into Landoâs shoulder. She is just a little kid, after all. Lando wraps up the interview as fast as he can, apologizing as he whisks Piper away to try and lift her spirits.Â
Luckily itâs time to head into the cooldown room, which proves to be the perfect place for Piper to calm down from her outburst. The antics continue there as Lando bounces Piper on her lap, pointing to the TV screen to show her all the highlights.Â
âLook at daddy about to overtake uncle Charles! And thereâs uncle Alex, and uncle George...â Lando continues to retell the story of the last two hours as the other two podium sitters, Max and Oscar, chime in intermittently. Sometimes Piperâs gaze falls to Landoâs new hat instead of the screen, but heâs happy to have her in the room with him to share this moment.Â
You have to really bargain with Lando to get him to hand Piper back to you so he can head to the podium by himself - itâs only at the rational explanation of not wanting your baby covered in champagne that he finally gives in to reason. Piper loves seeing the celebrations on the podium, adding in some cheers of her own when she sees her dad jumping up and down with joy on the podium. The little girl is addicted to the shine of the Bahrain trophy in the sun and you and Lando both later joke that she likes the piece of metal better than the both of you combined.Â
Itâs no surprise that Piper falls asleep on the car ride home - you do the same next to her as the jet lag catches up to you both. Piper still keeps one hand firmly on the trophy, having barely let it out of her sight since Lando brought it to her. Lando canât help but feel so lucky as he looks through the rearview mirror at the both of you.Â
It never gets any easier - leaving. The next weekend Lando heads to the United States and Piper cries the whole day once she notices that heâs packing a suitcase. Youâre honest with Lando when you tell him that youâll see him once he gets back, thereâs no way you and Piper would be able to handle all the time changes and long haul flights that would come with going to every race.
You still watch every race though, throwing sleep training to the wind as Piper often stays up at all odd hours to watch with you. There are so many moments where you wish that you could be there with Lando, especially with the season heâs having. As the journalists would say, Landoâs âdad powersâ have brought him his best ever start to a Formula 1 season, as he has yet to finish outside the top 3 so far.Â
âWhat do you think is going to happen when I donât come home from a trip with one of those?â Lando jokes as he sees your daughter absolutely enamored with the newest addition to her trophy collection. Itâs the Australian GP trophy, which proves to be the perfect vessel for Piper to put her cereal pieces into. The little girl has taken to yelling as her new favorite hobby, and she shows it off every time she squeals with joy when Lando walks through the door after a race.
âI donât want to find out, so youâll just have to keep getting podiums, Lanâ you joke back as you lean your head onto his shoulder.Â

ౚৠPANIC ౚà§
masterlist / rules / requests & talks with me!
SUMMARYౚৠOscar doesnât mean to come off as a panicking first time father, but his little one is his whole world! How will that anxiety crawl up when and boil over when itâs her first Grand Prix?
PAIRING ౚৠDad!Oscar Piastri x Fem!Reader
WARNINGS ౚৠoscar is just a nervous first time dad đ
A/N ౚৠOSCAR REQUEST đŁïž, Sadie loves to terrorize Oscar, and I love that. A little menace she is.
OSCAR NEVER EXPECTED to be a father this young. He would have at least thought that heâd have a Championship, turn 25, or even get married before he had a child. But life had its own plans.
From the moment he first held her, everything else faded into the background. Racing, which had been the center of his universe, now revolved around his daughter. She was so small, so delicate, and every little noise she made sent his heart racing.
Oscar was known for being calm. Level headed. Realistic. Yet, when it came to his little girl, things changed. Drastically.
Everything was a threat. It started with the small things: a tiny cough, her first stumbles and falls when she first attempted walking, the way sheâd put everything she found into her mouth. He tried to stay calm, telling himself that every parent worried, but it never took much for that anxiety to creep up on him. A trip to the playground turned into a mental obstacle courseâevery slide was too high, every swing too fast, and the idea of her falling down onto the wood chips make his skin crawl.
And now, it was the moment many fathers in Formula One would love: to see their children watch them race. But Oscar? He was a wreck.
`· . àšà§âàčàŁ â
The night was quiet in Australia, the moonlight shining through the blinds of his parents home you both decided to stay in before the start of the Grand Prix around the corner with the chirping crickets forming their own harmony outside. With Sadie finally asleep in Oscarâs arms, a small smile tugged at your lips before you spoke.
âYou know⊠Iâve been thinking.â
Oscar glanced over softly, his eyes warm with affection. âYou? Thinking? Iâm bracing myself here.â
âHaha. Funny.â You took a deep breath, carefully choosing your words. âI was thinking⊠maybe we should take Sadie to the Australian GP. I know itâs her first one, but it could be a special experience for her. And for us. I mean, itâs your home race. Our home race.â
Oscar's fingers lightly brushed against Sadie's soft, downy hair as he shifted her gently in his arms. The quiet, tender moment was interrupted by your suggestion, and his brow furrowed slightly in concern.
â..What?â He questioned, his Aussie accent slipping through. The thought of having his little girl at the track, in the midst of the roaring engines and flashing cameras, made him feel uneasy. It wasnât the fact it was a race that concerned him but rather how unpredictable it is.
âLetâs take Sadie to the Grand Prix this weekend.â You repeated.
âAre you sure?â he asked, his voice low. âItâs not exactly a calm environment. Itâs loud, chaoticâŠâ
You gently placed a hand on his arm, "I know, Oscar. But I think it would be good for her to see what you do, even if sheâs too young to fully understand. It could be a special memory for us, and your Mum insists she comes with us for extra help."
Oscarâs grip tightened slightly on Sadie as he looked down at her peaceful face, her tiny hand curled around his thumb. âWhat if she gets scared? The noise alone could be overwhelming for her,â He murmured.
You leaned in closer, resting your head against his shoulder. âWeâll be right there with her. And sheâll have ear protection, and weâll make sure sheâs comfortable. Besides, sheâll be surrounded by people who love her, including your parents and sisters. Itâll be okay.â
Oscar didnât seem convinced judging by his silence and expression on his face.
âOscar, Sadie is a calm baby. Unusually calm.â You stated earning a small amused scoff, âLike how your Mum described you as a baby and kid kind of calm⊠without waking up screaming to be freed from the crib. She will be okay.â
Oscar sighed, feeling the weight of your words. You were right; Sadie was an unusually calm baby, a trait she no doubt inherited from him. But that didnât stop the what-ifs from swirling around in his mind.
âOkay,â he said finally, his voice firmer now. âWeâll do it. Weâll take her to the Grand Prix.â
`· . àšà§âàčàŁ â
Stepping into the Australian sun, the warmth envelops you like a blanket, its golden rays reflecting off the bustling excitement of the Australian Grand Prix.
âSweetheart, do you have her-â
âYes Oscar, I have her ear protection, I have her spare clothes just in case, and the baby bag is hanging on her stroller.â You reply with a amused smile at his questioning as we entered the paddock.
Oscar gave a relieved nod, looking over at Sadie in his arms who was taking in her new surroundings. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself as you approached the McLaren garage.
The garage was abuzz with activity. Team members hurriedly prepared the cars, the unmistakable scent of gasoline and tire rubber filled the air, and mechanics shouted over the din of the crowd. Oscar's teammates and crew were working efficiently, their focus entirely on the task at hand.
As you reached the entrance to the McLaren garage, Oscarâs anxiety flared up again. âDo you think sheâll be okay in all this noise?â he asked, casting a worried glance at Sadie while he set her down, who seemed completely unfazed finding her balance.
âSheâll be fine, Oscar,â you reassured him, squeezing his hand. âLook at her. Sheâs curious, not scared. Besides, sheâs got her daddy to protect her.â
Oscar smiled faintly at that, but the knots in his stomach refused to loosen. He glanced back at Sadie, who had wandered over to a stack of tires and was trying to peer around them. Every little movement she made seemed like a potential hazard in Oscarâs mindâwhat if she stumbled and hit her head? What if she got too close to something dangerous?
He quickly crossed the short distance to her, crouching down and gently steering her back toward the stroller. âStay close, okay?â he said softly, trying to keep the panic out of his voice.
Sadie looked up at him with a small smile, her tiny hand gripping his finger as she babbled something incoherent. Oscarâs heart melted a little, but the tension remained.
You watched him, your heart aching for the way he was trying so hard to keep it together. âOscar, sheâs safe. I promise you-â
As if on cue, Sadie eyes lit up as she spotted the bright orange McLaren car. Oscar couldnât help but smile at her reaction. It was the first time heâd seen her show interest in his worldâŠ. or really anything besides her family.
Yet, that moment didnât last long.
Sadie, determined to explore, suddenly let go of Oscarâs hand and toddled off towards the car. Oscarâs heart skipped a beat as he scrambled after her, scooping her up just as she reached the edge of the garage. âNo, no, no⊠not there.â he muttered, holding her close as he carried her back to the you and the relative safety of the stroller.
âSheâs fast,â one of the mechanics chuckled, having witnessed the scene. âSheâs like Verstappen on track!â
Oscar simply gave a embarrassed chuckle after his daughterâs attempts of adventure. Yet, Sadieâs terrorizing didnât end there. As the day progressed, Oscar and you did your best to keep Sadie entertained and safe in the bustling environment of the McLaren garage in preparing for the race. Unfortunately, she seemed determined to explore every inch of the place, much to both of your guysâs dismay.
INSTANCE 1: TIRES
As Oscar tried to get a moment of calm in the garage, he put Sadie down for a quick break next to her stroller. He was just about to check in with his team when he heard a faint sound. Spinning around, he saw that Sadie had wriggled out of her strollerâs harness and was crawling towards a rack of tires.
Oscarâs heart raced as he dashed over, his eyes wide with panic. âThatâs where we arenât going, Missy.â he exclaimed, scooping her up just as she was about to pull herself up onto the stack. The tires wobble precariously, and Oscarâs breath caught in his throat. He held her tightly, his face pale as he glanced around to see if anyone had noticed his near disaster.
The surrounding mechanics, sensing his distress, quickly stepped in to stabilize the tires. One of them patted him on the back, âSeems to me she wants to be part of the pit crew already!â
âMaybe sheâll be the one changing your tires this race!â Another commented with a laugh.
Oscar forced a smile, but the worry lines on his forehead remained.
INSTANCE 2:
As Oscar prepared for the race, you took over watching Sadie, trying to keep her entertained while Oscar suited up. You were stationed near the McLaren garage entrance, making sure to keep a watchful eye on Sadie who was now sitting contentedly in her strollerâat least for the moment.
However, as you turned to chat with one of the teamâs engineers, you heard a soft giggle followed by a rapid series of thumps. Turning quickly, you saw Sadie had somehow managed to wriggle out of her stroller again and was crawling towards a set of hydraulic jacks. The sight of her tiny fingers reaching out to touch the massive equipment made your heart skip a beat.
âNu uh, little lady! We donât touch that! No no.â you exclaimed, rushing over to her. But as you got closer, Sadie let out a giggle as you lifted her up into your arms.
âIâve never seen a baby this eager to be with McLaren.â Charlotte smiled as she passed by. âPerhaps she should start working with me at communications to be with Oscar more often!â
You gave a slightly embarrassed laugh as you buckled her in, she reached out with a pout, clearly unhappy with being restrained. âIâm sorry, sweetie, but we have to stay safe,â you murmured, brushing her hair back.
The rest of the crew chuckled at the spectacle, but you could see the worried look on Oscarâs face as he came out of his room, suited up in his gear. âEverything okay?â he asked, his voice tinged with concern.
âJust a small adventure with the hydraulic jacks,â you said with a smile, trying to lighten the mood. âSheâs fine now, but we might need to make sure all the escape routes are blocked off.â
Oscar gave a sigh, running a hand through his hair. âNotedâŠâ
INSTANCE 3: THE LANDO OVERTAKE
As the tension in the garage reached a peak with the race fast approaching, Sadieâs curiosity showed no signs of waning. Oscar, now fully suited up and mentally bracing himself for the race, was still visibly on edge.
In the midst of the frantic pre-race preparations, you found yourself trying to keep Sadie entertained while Oscar finished his final checks with the team. However, Sadieâs attempts to explore had escalated to a full-blown quest for adventure.
The McLaren garage was abuzz with activity, but you kept a close eye on Sadie, who had recently discovered the appeal of the large, colorful tire barriers. She was reaching out, her small fingers attempting to grasp anything within her reach. Just as you managed to corral her back to the stroller, a familiar voice came from behind you both.
âOscar, mate you look like youâve went to hell and back.â Lando chuckled, approaching with a sympathetic grin. His eyes quickly darted to Sadie, who was now fixated on the box of tools that a mechanic handed her just to keep her occupied.
Oscar, still visibly stressed, gave a exhale, resting his head on your shoulder. âLando, you have no idea. Sheâs like a magnet for trouble today.â
Lando and Sadie have met before, back when she was just born in a hospital visit.
Landoâs gaze softened as he crouched down to Sadieâs level, a mischievous glint in his eye. âHey there, Sadie. Howâs it going, little lady? Youâve grown up quite a bit havenât you?â he questioned, trying to capture her attention.
Sadieâs tiny head turned toward Lando, her eyes wide with interest with the new face for today. The sight of Landoâs playful demeanor seemed to break through her persistent determination. For a moment, she was entranced by his animated expressions and the sound of his voice.
She reached out towards him, her earlier determination to explore seemingly melting away in the face of his playful antics. Landoâs antics were enough to draw a genuine smile from her, and she even let out a small giggle, her tiny fingers grasping at his brightly colored McLaren cap.
Oscar, watching from a short distance, let out a relieved breath as he saw Sadieâs attention shift from her previous distractions. It was as if Lando had managed to temporarily derail her adventurous spirit with nothing more than charm and a few well-timed funny faces.
Needless to say, Oscar was astonished. He spent a handful of hours trying to stop her from even wandering off and all it took was a a small talk and a funny face?
âIâŠwha⊠how?!â
âHaving a niece helps out a lot when it comes to kids, yâknow.â
All that was left now was race time.
POST RACE
After all the chaos, Oscar achieved a solid P4 just behind Lando. Truely a race to remember compared to first race last year.
When he finally emerged from the car, the first thing he did was seek out you and his daughter. He was visibly relieved to find her in one piece, though she had managed to wriggle out of her stroller again and was now playing with the cap that Lando had given her.
Lando, who had been keeping an eye on Sadie during the race, gave Oscar a sympathetic grin. âYou survived the race and the baby chaos. Youâre a hero in my book.â
Oscar chuckled, the tension easing from his shoulders. He scooped Sadie up, finally able to relax. âThanks, Lando. I think I need a nap after all this.â
As the team cleaned up and you all walked out of the garage, Sadie clinging to Oscarâs neck and half-asleep after all her terrorism she caused in the McLaren garage. Happily, you could see the exhaustion in his eyes but also a newfound contentment.
âWe arenât taking her to another race are we?â You questioned.
âUnless we got a baby leash like Kevin suggested? Hell no.â Oscar huffed out in response.

âShe hasnât been home in so long,â your father was smiling proudly, seemingly oblivious to the way Joel was looking at you.Â
It had never occurred to him that heâd never seen a picture of his friendâs daughter. Heâd heard about you, of course. How your parents had gone to Tennessee for your college graduation, how youâd gotten a job in Memphis, how you only really came to visit about once a year and that meant your dad was busy that week.Â
âHeard a lot about you,â Joel said when he realized your dad had gone quiet. âGood to⊠put a face to the name. Or, maybe, idea? Donât think your dad ever mentioned your nameâŠâÂ
âMay not have,â he laughed, clapping Joel on the shoulder. Joel still couldnât take his eyes off you. Fuck, this was bad. âTo me, sheâs just my little princessâŠâÂ
âHoney,â your mom appeared at your dadâs side, looping her arm through his. âCan I steal you for just a minute?âÂ
âSure,â he gave her hand a squeeze before looking between you and Joel. âKeep her outta trouble, will ya? Have fun!âÂ
Joel more sensed them leave than watched them, his eyes locked on yours. He was pretty sure they were out of earshot when you spoke.Â
âYouâve got to be kidding me.âÂ
ââFraid not,â Joel said, his eyes drifting down over your body before he could really help himself. Your dress fit you perfectly, highlighting your every soft curve. He knew just what you looked like below it, just how smooth your skin was, just how you would taste. âYou look⊠fuck, you look gorgeous.âÂ
Your eyebrows shot up.Â
âAre youâŠâ You closed your eyes and shook your head. âNever mind. This isnât happening. This cannot be happening.âÂ
âItâs notâŠâ he finally managed to look away from you to glance around at the people around the two of you. None of them seemed to be paying attention. He lowered his voice, anyway. âItâs not that badâŠâÂ
âNot that bad?â You cut him off. âAre you⊠Jesus, come on.âÂ
You looked around, too, before grabbing his wrist and dragging him out of the tent and toward the house. He just trailed along behind you, fighting the urge to smile while keeping an eye out for your parents. Because the last thing he wanted to do was explain to your father what he was doing, following wherever you led.Â
And he did follow you - happily - into the house heâd been in plenty of times as a dinner guest or for Super Bowl parties or to help your father put together a new piece of furniture for your mother. You dragged him along to the sizable storage room off the garage and locked the door behind you before turning and staring daggers at him.Â
âNot that bad?â You asked, brows raised so high they threatened to disappear into your hairline. âNot that bad? Youâre my dadâs best friend! I didnât even know he had one of those until this afternoon and I -â you looked around, as though someone might have been lurking, and lowered your voice to a harsh whisper âfucked him before I knew he existed! How is this not that bad?âÂ
âYou in the habit of telling your daddy everyone you sleep with?â Joel asked, hands in his pockets. âBecause I ainât one to kiss and tell.â
âThis is a joke to you, isnât it,â you crossed your arms, clearly pissed. But the effect was lessened a bit by the way your angry pants and fierce stance made your breasts swell and fuck, but you were pretty. âWhat, you make a habit of fucking women young enough to be your friendâs daughter?âÂ
âNo,â Joel said with a shrug. âDonât make a habit of fucking anyone, really. Told you, Iâm outta practice. And⊠well, canât say Iâve ever⊠wellâŠâÂ
âEver?â Your eyebrows somehow got higher.Â
âEver been with someone as young as you,â he said, his cheeks getting hot at the shame of that. âDidnât set out to, either. Not until I saw you.â
You relaxed a little then, your brows returning to a much more natural position on your face.Â
âI didnât go to that bar looking for someone,â he continued. âAnd I sure as shit never go chasing after women half my age. Sure as shit ainât proud I did it last night, either. But⊠canât say I really care much about any of that. I donât care that youâre too young for me, donât care that you live hundreds of miles away, donât even care that youâre my best friendâs kid. Lord knows I should care about all that but I donât. All I really care about in all that is you.âÂ
Your eyes searched his for a moment, like you were trying to tell if he was lying or not. You stepped closer to him and he resisted the urge to touch you, the pull stronger than he remembered it being in the past. He wasnât sure if it was because it had been years since heâd been with someone, if it was because he could tell from the first moment he saw you that you were special, if it was because sex with you was the best heâd ever had. But, he supposed, it didnât really matter. Not when you were this close, in that dress, when he could still remember how you tasted on his tongue. He knew he should give a shit, he knew he should at least do your father the courtesy of feeling bad but all he could feel was the drive to touch you - taste you - again.
You held his gaze until your lips were so close to his your noses brushed and he kissed you then, your mouth so plush and soft on his.Â
It had been so long since Joel had done anything like this. He hadnât exactly dated much when his daughter was at home. He tried, a bit, when she was in her teens but he ended up wishing he was spending time with her instead of trying to get to know someone he only had a passing interest in.Â
When Sarah moved out to go to college - not community college anymore but Texas A&M - he didnât have the same excuse anymore. But, when he tried to meet someone then, he found himself trying to force connections with women. They had little in common with him, they wanted different things out of life, they were just interested in things he couldnât offer. After a few, unsatisfying and brief relationships - if you could even call them that - heâd given up on it. His life was meant to be quiet and lonely. He had Sarah and that was more than enough, even if she lived in Dallas now. He was fine with it. Happy, even.Â
And then, there you were, so beautiful in that bar, something about you pulling him in. He couldnât help but go up to you, couldnât help but talk to you for hours, couldnât help but walk you back to your hotel, couldnât help but kiss you back in that elevator.Â
He couldnât help but kiss you now.Â
His hands went to your waist, slipping over your sides to your back, spreading wide over you to hold as much of you as he could, pulling your body against his own. You moaned softly into his mouth and put your arms around his neck when he did and he could feel every line of you against him, could remember just what those lines felt like when there was nothing between you.Â
If he was in his own head enough, he would have been embarrassed about just how fast he got hard against you, embarrassed about how quickly he gave in to the urge to grind his cock into you while remembering just what it felt like to be buried inside of you. But he couldnât bring himself to give a fuck about anything beyond just how good you felt pressed all tight and desperate against him.Â
He guided you back until your ass was against a stack of plastic storage tubs, bins labeled with things like âChristmasâ and âHalloweenâ that heâd helped your dad haul into the living room when your mom was ready to change the decor around the house. Your hands left him for a moment and you pulled yourself on top of the top bin, putting your hips at the same height as Joelâs own. You spread your legs wide and pulled him into you, grinding your pussy against his cock through his jeans and he had to fight not to come then and there. Your arms went back around his neck and your kiss grew messy, the both of you fighting to devour the other. Joelâs mouth slid over your lips to your chin, down your jaw to your throat and you moaned, arching your back. His hands moved to your thighs, forcing your skirt up and out of the way until your slick-soaked panties were pressed against his fly.Â
âFuck, Joel,â you panted softly, grinding that hot little pussy over his still clothed length. His hands skimmed over your sides to find your breasts, cupping the full, soft warmth of you there. Your fingers sank into his back, nails digging into him. âPleaseâŠâÂ
âNot a good idea,â he said, kissing back up your neck, leaving his mouth against the tender skin at the base of your ear. âDonât got a condom.âÂ
He nipped your lobe and kissed over your cheek toward your mouth again.Â
âI donât care,â you said, breathless. âI donât care, I just need you, fuck, please, pleaseâŠâÂ
He groaned. He should resist you. He should, he knew better. But the way you tasted, the way you felt against him, just the thought of being inside you with nothing between you and him was making his head swim.Â
âDonât think Iâll be able to pull out, baby,â he said, kissing you all wet and sloppy and without control. âYou felt too damn good with somethinâ on, I canâtâŠâÂ
âI donât care,â you said again, pulling back from him just enough to look in his eyes, reaching your hand up to card your fingers through his graying hair. Your skin was almost glowing in the dim light, your eyes ranging over him, pupils blown. âI want you, please, Joel.âÂ
âJesus,â he breathed, reaching quickly down to unbuckle his belt and open his pants. He pulled his cock free, his head swollen and leaking. He stroked himself - not that it offered any relief and it wasnât possible to make him any harder - with one hand and watched with hungry eyes as he traced the the seam of you through your wet panties with the other, the fabric clinging to the plush softness of you. He couldnât help but groan a little as he tucked the cotton to the side, revealing you all plump and dripping for him.Â
He watched, his breath shaky, as he moved closer, trailing his cock head over your slit before slipping just inside your entrance. He just stood there for a moment, his heart beating out a frantic rhythm against his ribs, looking at where he was starting to disappear into you and he was mesmerized by it. The way you had to stretch to take even just the head of him, the way you took him so well anyway, the way you felt inside, the heat of you on his skin.Â
âJoel,â you whimpered, your hand clutching onto his bicep, his shirt twisting in your fingers.Â
âBaby,â his voice was rough, raspy. Heâd be embarrassed about how needy he sounded if he could bring himself to give a shit about anything but how you felt inside. âFuck, you already feel fuckinâ incredible and Iâm not even really inside you yetâŠâÂ
He finally pulled his eyes away from where the two of you met to find your face, your eyes so wide and pleading. He took you in his hand, his thumb on your cheek, your fingers reaching back to grip tight to your neck, holding you just so. You stretched to kiss him but he kept you in place, your eyebrows drawing together as you moaned in protest.Â
âGotta be quiet, pretty girl,â he whispered. âAnd sit still, just let me look at you.âÂ
He watched you closely as pressed into you, your breath hitching as he parted your inner walls, your tight, wet heat gripping him and he savored every needy expression that crossed your face. You were so beautiful like this, your mouth open in a silent gasp, eyes wide, looking like you were enjoying him almost as much as he was enjoying you.Â
Because there was no possible way it could be equal, there was no way he felt as good as you did. Youâd felt fucking exquisite with a condom on the night before, it had only taken Joel a second inside you to decide that this could not be a one time thing. He couldnât feel something that good only once in his life, heâd spend the rest of his years searching for it otherwise. It was the cherry on top of the perfection that seemed to be you, someone he wanted to spend hours upon hours talking with and hours upon hours looking at. The way your body took him into yourself, the way you pulsed around him when you came, the way you were so goddamn soft inside. How was he supposed to just walk away from that?Â
But, as Joelâs cock was buried inside you to the root, he realized that nothing - absolutely fucking nothing - compared to being inside you bare. He could feel you so clearly like this, every ridge of muscle, every little gush of come as you made a mess of his cock. You were so fucking tight he wondered how heâd even fit inside you. He wasnât sure heâd ever felt anything quite as warm and soft as you and he knew heâd never felt quite so close to anyone like he did you in that moment.Â
âGoddamn baby,â he breathed, his eyes locked on yours, not moving from his place inside you.Â
âJoel,â you whispered before looking down to where your bodies where joined and groaning when you did.Â
âGotta stay quiet, pretty girl,â he said softly, wrapping an arm around you, his hand splaying wide over the small of your back. He held you in place and ground himself deeper into you, making you whimper.Â
âFuck me,â you panted, desperate. âPlease Joel, I need you to move, I need you to fuck me, pleaseâŠâÂ
He crumbled under your pleas, pulling back from you agonizingly slowly so that he could feel every part of you clinging to him before thrusting back inside you in one devastating go. You moaned as he did, loud enough that he was worried someone might hear. He kissed you to keep you quiet and your arms went around his neck, your fingers digging into him as you clung to him. But he couldnât keep kissing you forever, not when the drive to fuck you harder was so strong, and he had to separate from you to gasp for breath as his cock plunged into you again and again. You moaned, desperate and needy and uncontrolled and Joel couldnât even consider stopping to keep you quiet. Instead, he pulled you tight to him, tucking your head against his shoulder so your sounds were muffled by his body.Â
âSaid you gotta keep quiet baby,â he whispered in your ear, fucking into you. âFuck⊠you feel too damn good, wonât be able to stop just because someone comes in.âÂ
Your muffled moans grew louder and you clutched onto him and he held you closer, tighter, the sharp snap of his hips never slowing or even stuttering. He felt like a man possessed as he savored the hot clutch of you. Heâd never needed to fuck someone like this, never wanted to live inside another person like this. How was he supposed to move on from this, from you? When heâd never found anything that made him feel like this, so obsessed he couldnât keep himself from fucking you hard and fast and unprotected under your fatherâs roof.Â
His orgasm was building fast, faster than he really wanted it to. There was the nagging thought at the back of his mind - the last part of him that seemed to exist outside the sphere of your influence - that he should pull out at the very least. He didnât know if you were on the pill but part of him didnât fucking care. Part of him wanted to fill you up and take everything that came with it, as long as he got to keep coming in you again and again the rest of it didnât matter.Â
You started mumbling into his shoulder, your words incoherent around the fabric of his shirt and the bulk of his body and he pulled your head back just enough that he could make out what you were saying, just âIâm gonna come, Iâm gonna comeâ over and over and over and the sound went straight to his cock.Â
He felt it then, you drawing so tight around him, the sensation intimately familiar after the night before, and then you exploded around him, throbbing hard and full, damn near pulling his own orgasm out of his body as he groaned against you. He didnât do the smart thing, he didnât pull out. Instead, he reveled in the feeling as he came deep inside you, buried to the root .Â
âFuck, Joel,â you panted against him as your climax eased, sounding closer to sane now than you had the last few minutes.Â
âI know, baby,â he said, breathless too, still deep within you. You pulled back from him ever so slightly, your eyes wide as they searched his face, your lipstick smeared over your skin.Â
âFuck, Joel,â you said again, but different this time, an edge of panic in your voice. You put your hand to his chest, leaning back from him and looking down to where you were still joined. âWhat the fuck did we just do?âÂ
âNothinâ badâŠâ he said quietly but you looked back to him, your gaze fiery now. He pulled out of you slowly, reluctantly, and tucked himself away.Â
âNothing bad?â You asked, brows raised. âWe just fucked in my parentsâ house! I barely fucking know you and you just⊠I just begged you to⊠Jesus ChristâŠâÂ
Joel winced at that.Â
âI can go get you one of those pillsâŠâ he said weakly. He hoped that was the right thing to say in a moment like this one. He hadnât been in this position in so long, he wasnât the type to just randomly fuck a woman and he sure as hell wasnât the type to do so with no regard for the consequences. Heâd learned that lesson well enough in his youth. Here he was, middle aged and fucking you like some teenager in heat, sneaking around behind your parentsâ backs.
âWhat?â You shook your head once, sharply, like you were trying to shake him from your mind. âNo, I have an IUD, but I donât know you, you could have⊠I donât fucking know, herpes or something!âÂ
Joel almost laughed. Not that anything about this was actually funny but it was⊠something.Â
âI donât got anything like that,â Joel said. âYouâre safe, promise.âÂ
You looked to jump down from your perch on the storage bins but slipped a hand down between your legs first and groaned before looking around.Â
âDo you see any paper towel or anything?â You asked, holding your hand covered in his come and yours in front of you, your combined slick pearly on your fingers.Â
Joel swallowed.Â
âNo,â he said. âBut⊠hereâŠâÂ
He untucked his shirt and nudged your legs wider apart, forcing your dress further up your thighs, revealing your slit to him. He resisted the urge to groan at the sight, his spend leaking from you because heâd left it deep insideâŠÂ
He shook himself mentally and took the hem of his button down shirt, pressing it to your dripping hole, cleaning you gently. You leaned back on your hands and he could feel your eyes on him as he delicately ran the fabric over your soft skin. He was about to step back when he heard you moan, needy and wanting, and he realized he could see your clit, swollen and peeking out from your wet sex.Â
âFuck,â you breathed and he looked up to your face. Your eyes were closed, your mouth open in pleasure.Â
âYou like that?â He asked, his voice heavier than heâd meant it to be. Fuck, he shouldnât be doing this. But you nodded, quick and desperate, and he couldnât resist. âDonât worry, baby, Iâll take care of you.âÂ
He knelt in front of you, looping his arms around your knees and pulling you sharply to the front edge of the storage bin before licking a hesitant stripe from your entrance to your sensitive nub. You groaned at that and he saw your fingers curl around the edge of the bin, knuckles tight.Â
âFuck, donât stop,â you panted and he smiled a little before diving into your pussy like a man starved.Â
He licked and sucked and ate at you, his tongue delving into your tight channel, his nose pressed against your swollen clit, his fingers pressing tightly into the meat of your thighs. Your hand flew to his hair, knotting and tangling in his curls, your nails digging into his scalp as you ground your hips against his face. You were moaning louder and he knew he should give a fuck, try to keep you quiet while he worked you to yet another orgasm in your fatherâs house, but he just didnât care. All he cared about was making you come so hard you damn near took off his tongue.Â
He didnât need to wait long, your pussy growing tighter and tighter until you cried out, your hips pressed against him and he savored the way your body clutched onto him as you came. Your channel pulsed hard and strong and he drank down your slick, not caring that it mingled with his own come from just a few minutes before.Â
Joel waited until your climax eased before he pulled his tongue from your body, pressing a lingering kiss over the top of your slit, making you groan.Â
âHoly shit,â you panted and he got to his feet in front of you, wiping his mouth awkwardly with the back of his wrist.Â
âSorry,â he said, glancing quickly at your still slightly swollen sex. It was no longer dripping, at least. âThat⊠that ainât what Iâd set out to doâŠâÂ
âNever apologize for that,â you said, sitting up properly this time. You slipped off the storage bin. You rearranged your underwear below your dress before adjusting the hem, looking down at yourself like you were trying to make sure you didnât look like youâd just been fucked within an inch of your life.Â
âHere,â Joel said, thankful that his shirt was black so your lipstick that was undoubtably on his shoulder wouldnât show. He took the cuff that hadnât wiped your slick from his face and carefully cleaned your smeared lipstick from your skin. âSorry, didnât mean to do that, eitherâŠâÂ
âItâs not your fault,â you said, crossing your arms and looking him up and down. âI was literally begging for it. Thereâs just something about you⊠but thatâs why we canât do this, Joel. Youâre my dadâs best friend, heâd never forgive us for this. We have to pretend like this never happened. Not tonight, not last night, none of it.âÂ
He just watched you for a moment. Part of him knew you were right. You were right for more reasons than just that, too. He hadnât really dated in years, he hadnât been in a good place to do it in ages and he sure as hell wasnât in a place to date someone as young as you. Youâd want things out of life that he was long past, things he could never give you. He should know better than this.Â
But that didnât change the fact that he wanted you. He wanted to fuck you again, yeah, but he also wanted to get to know you, to make you dinner and take you to the beach and kiss you at midnight on New Yearâs Eve. Youâd woken something up in him that he didnât know he still had, something he thought had died along with his youth years before. Wasnât something like you worth risking a friendship for? Even one like the one he had with your father?Â
âWe have to stay away from each other the rest of the night,â you said. âAlright?âÂ
He looked at you for a moment, at the drawn expression on your face.Â
âYeah,â he said after the silence hung in the air a bit too long. âYeah, alright.âÂ
The two of you made your way back toward the celebration, thankfully no one in the house to have heard the sounds he pulled form you, anyway. Joel tried not to stare at you the rest of the night but he found himself keenly aware of where you were all the time, anyway. He knew where you were and who you were with and just how far heâd have to move to pull you into his arms and kiss you.Â
âJoel!â His friend clapped him on the shoulder as he sat at a table, drinking a beer and trying to not pay attention to where you were - something he was failing at because, at the moment, you were standing by your mother and your sister near the buffet. âHavinâ a nice time?âÂ
âOh, yeah,â Joel cleared his throat awkwardly as he sat beside him. âItâs a great party. Yâall deserve it, too, hell of an accomplishment, puttinâ up with each other that longâŠâÂ
âTell me about it,â he laughed. âGod, sometimes⊠See you didnât bring a date, was hopinâ youâd be out on the dance floor with some lucky lady at least a little bit.âÂ
âYeah, well,â Joel shrugged. âDonât really got anyone to bring to someone like this andâŠâÂ
âStill,â he cut Joel off. âShould get out there⊠Princess! Câmere!âÂ
He raised his hand and flagged you down and Joel stiffened. Your eyes darted from his to your fatherâs before you made your way across the tent, your hands in fists at your sides.Â
âYou really donât need toâŠâ Joel began but your father cut him off again.Â
âSâno trouble,â he said. âItâll be good for her, too. Tells her mama everything, hasnât had a boyfriend in who knows how long, she needs to do a little dancingâŠâÂ
âYes, Dad?â You asked, steadfastly ignoring Joel.Â
âDo me a favor, Princess, and get this old man on the dance floor, would ya?â He clapped Joel on the back. âHeâs been sittinâ here alone way too long, think he needs a little nudgeâŠâÂ
âOh, I⊠I donât,â you began.Â
âReally donât needâŠâ Joel said.Â
âNonsense!â Your dad said. âCâmon! You two - two of my favorite people - have been sittinâ off to the sides of this shindig all night. Make me happy, get out there for me.âÂ
You looked at Joel half pleading, half resigned.Â
âYeah, alright,â Joel said, getting up and setting his beer on the table. Your father got up, too.Â
âGood man!â He patted him firmly between the shoulder blades. âYou two have fun!âÂ
Joel offered you his hand and you took it before he led you to the dance floor, your body tense and separated firmly from his own. The music shifted just as the two of you got there, The Way You Look Tonight starting to play and Joel almost groaned. Might as well put a neon sign over his head, flashing âI want to fuck herâ in bright red.Â
He took you in his arms all the same, leaving a respectable, painful distance between the two of you as he started to sway with you on the dance floor.Â
âIâm sorry about this,â you said quietly after a moment. âI donât know what his problem is, besides the fact that heâs had too much to drink.âÂ
âSâOK,â Joel said. His hand was at the small of your back and he knew just how soft your skin was there. âI donât⊠Itâs nice. Dancinâ with you.âÂ
You smiled a little.Â
âItâs nice dancing with you, too.âÂ
You looked at him differently then. Your eyes were softer, your body less stiff and it reminded Joel of the night before, when you were just a stranger in a bar and you smiled and talked and laughed with him for hours.Â
âI wish things were different,â you said quietly, eyes searching his. âI know we just met but⊠I mean, if I lived closer, ifâŠâÂ
âIf I wasnât your daddyâs friend?â He asked, giving you a crooked smile.Â
You laughed a little.Â
âYeah, that little snag,â you said. âIf life was different⊠I think Iâd like to figure some of it out with you, Joel.âÂ
The song wound down and he knew his time with you was numbered.Â
âThink Iâd like to figure it out with you, too.âÂ
He wanted to kiss you then and, if you were any other woman or in any other place, he would have. But instead, the music ended and he forced himself to stop touching you and he stood, in the middle of the dance floor, other couples flowing around him as he watched you walk away from him and back toward your family.Â
Joel seriously considered getting hammered when he got home that night. Drinking himself into oblivion seemed like the kindest thing he could do to himself but he couldnât bring himself to risk losing the memory of dancing with you like that. Instead, he lay flat on his back in his bed, staring up at the ceiling, etching every part of you into his mind as best he could because, goddammit, the last day had to have existed for something, right? A bright spot in what had become a lonely life, something he could look back on with fondness when shit didnât go the way he wanted.Â
But, before too long, he knew that wouldnât be enough.Â
He got up, not bothering to get changed, just staying in his plaid pajama pants and threadbare band t-shirt and drove to your hotel. He remembered your room number and, only after heâd knocked on your door, did he realize what heâd done. He had, without calling or texting or anything that was actually fucking sensible, shown up at your door at - he glanced at his watch - one in the fucking morning.Â
âShit,â he said to himself, already moving to go when your door opened.Â
âJoel?â You frowned a little, looking him up and down. âWhat are youâŠâÂ
âThis was stupid,â he said quickly. âIâm sorry, I shouldnât have done this, I shouldâve justâŠâÂ
You reached out and grabbed his wrist, stopping him from leaving and he blinked in surprise.Â
âDid you want to come in or not?â You asked, brows raised.Â
âYeah,â he nodded quickly. âYeah, I do.âÂ
And you smiled and took his hand, leading him into your room.Â
***
Six Months LaterÂ
âThis feels like tempting fate,â you muttered as you did your hair in the mirror over Joelâs dresser.Â
âNah,â he waved you off as he lounged, shirtless, on the bed. âItâll be fine. Think we can manage to keep our hands to ourselves for a few hours.âÂ
You scoffed at that. If you could, that would be a fucking first.Â
In the six months since you and Joel had decided to make a go of it - damn all the reasons that you shouldnât - youâd been happier than you could ever remember being. Heâd been to visit you in Tennessee twice and youâd met up in New Orleans once but this was your first time back home since youâd decided that dating your fatherâs best friend wasnât a total lost cause.Â
When you were together, you spent obscene amounts of time in bed. He made you come more than anyone else youâd ever been with and you spent hours naked and tangled up with each other. Even when you were apart, he still gave you the best damn orgasms of your life because he was shockingly good at sexting for someone who was 20 years older than you.Â
But your connection with Joel was so much deeper than the physical. You could talk with him the way you could no one else, he knew you and saw you in a way you didnât realize was possible for another person to see you and know you. You wanted to spend all your time with him, do everything with him. How were you supposed to sit at your parentsâ house for Thanksgiving dinner with him next to you at the table and expect them to not notice that?Â
âMâserious,â he came up behind you, wrapping his arms around your waist and kissing the side of your neck before nuzzling into your skin there. âBe on my best behavior. No fuckinâ you in the storage room this time. Couldnât get me naked tonight if you tried.âÂ
âOh, OK,â you rolled your eyes but laughed a little. âIâm sure youâd keep it in your pants if I just tugged my sweater dress down nice and low and headed off to the quiet part of the houseâŠâÂ
âWell now youâre just askinâ too much of me, baby,â he teased, kissing you again before putting his face beside yours in the mirror. âIâm just a man, after all.âÂ
âMy man,â you smiled and he laughed.Â
âSâright,â he said. âYours.âÂ
You went to your parentsâ place first, keeping up the pretense that youâd been staying at a friendâs and not at Joelâs during your trip home, and you helped your mom finish up the last of dinner preparations.Â
âYouâre sure Joelâs not bringing anybody?â Your mom asked your dad as the two of you set the table, your dad camped in front of the television watching football.Â
âSâwhat he said,â he replied absently before smacking his hand down on the arm of his recliner. âFuckinâ hell! Dunno when weâre gonna field a goddamn defense this seasonâŠâÂ
âWell I thought you mentioned that heâd been seeing someone,â your mom said and your head snapped around to look at her so fast your neck popped. She frowned at you and you cleared your throat awkwardly, looking back down at the place setting you were arranging.Â
âSaid I thought he was seeinâ someone,â your dad corrected her. âBeen actinâ all cagey last few months but heâs got this funny look on his face when he shows up for basketball is all.âÂ
You bit back a smile and put out the next napkin.Â
âWell, thatâs good,â your mom said. âI hope he is seeing someone. Joelâs a good guy, he deserves a good woman.âÂ
âI agree OH COME ON!â He was on his feet, remote clutched in his hand as a ref gestured on screen. He turned off the TV and threw the remote into the couch. âWell, thereâs no cominâ back from that. Iâm gonna take a piss before folks get hereâŠâÂ
âI wish you wouldnât talk like that during the holidays,â your mother grumbled. The words were barely out of her mouth when the doorbell rang and she looked to you. âWould you mind getting that, sweetie?âÂ
âSure,â you smiled and tried to keep yourself from running to the door, stopping at the mirror to check your hair and makeup before pulling the door open. Joel was standing there, one of those cocky, crooked smiles you loved so much on his face.Â
âWell hi there,â he said, his brown eyes soft.Â
âHi,â you smiled and then feigned a frown. âIâm sorry⊠Jim, was it? Think we met at my parentsâ anniversary party?âÂ
He pursed his lips for a second and rolled his eyes and you could tell he wanted to grab you and kiss you.Â
âJoel,â he corrected you. âAnd yeah, somethinâ like that.âÂ
Your mother put Joel across from you, the two single people at the table, and you slipped your foot out of your shoe during dinner, tracing your toes over his calf where no one could see.Â
âSo, princess,â your dad said as dinner wound down and you were on your third glass of wine. âYou ever gonna get a real job? Think about movinâ closer to home?âÂ
The room went silent, Joelâs eyebrows knitting together before looking toward your father at the head of the table.Â
âHoney,â your mom said quietly, lightly scolding your dad.Â
âWhat?â He asked, picking up his wine glass and taking a generous sip. âThink itâs a fair question. We bankrolled her gettinâ that damn degree thinkinâ sheâd do something with herself and sheâs, what, playing music for whackos?âÂ
âDad,â your sister hissed, her eyes darting to her boyfriend across from her. âCool it.âÂ
âIâm providing music therapy in an inpatient setting,â you said, setting your wine glass down.Â
âYouâre finding some damn way to chase that pipe dream of being a goddamn singer is what youâre doinâ,â he replied. âItâs time to grow up, find a real jobâŠâÂ
âJust because you donât recognize the importance of mental health doesnât mean my job isnât real,â you said, forcing yourself to stay calm.Â
âYou said you wanted to study psychology so you could help people,â he cut you off. âNot so you could find some way to play rock star, andâŠâÂ
âAnd I think youâve had a few too many,â Joel cut him off. Your dad opened his mouth to argue but Joel cocked his head, his jaw tense. âCâmon. You were just tellinâ me that she donât come home enough, you think this shit is helping? Itâs Thanksgiving. Cool it.âÂ
Your mom looked quickly between you and Joel before clearing her throat.Â
âPie, anyone?â She asked, ending the conversation before your dad had a chance to pick it up again.
âYou shouldnât have done that,â you said when you got back to Joelâs that night, taking your earrings out and setting them on the nightstand youâd claimed as yours.Â
âHe shouldnât have said that shit to you,â Joel said, his voice heated. âCanât believe heâd even think that shit let alone say it. Iâd never dream of saying somethinâ like that to Sarah, not about to just let himâŠâÂ
âYes, you are,â you said, crossing your arms and facing him. âHeâs always been like that, heâs always only wanted me to exist as an extension of himself and only do what he thinks is worthwhile. Itâs nothing new, Iâm used to itâŠâÂ
âWell, you fuckinâ shouldnât be,â he snapped. âYou deserve better than that.âÂ
âItâs great that you believe that,â you said. âI do, too. But if we want to make this work? You canât come to my rescue. If it happens again, you have to let me handle it. Understand?âÂ
He sighed before going and kissing your temple.Â
âWhatever you want, baby.âÂ
July 4th, 19 months later
âDo we really have to go?â You groaned, Joelâs ceiling fan turning lazily over your head. You were naked, the only way you could handle being anywhere close to Joel in this heat, your bodies sticky with sweat and come.Â
âYou are visiting for the holiday,â he said, toying with your fingers. âProbably look pretty damn weird if you donât turn up for the cookout.âÂ
You sighed.Â
âYouâre right,â you said. âBut you have to behave yourself this time. Actually behave yourself, I mean it.âÂ
âWhen do I not behave myself?â He teased. âIâm always on my best behavior when it comes to you, baby.â
You snorted.Â
âIs that what you called it when you cornered me in the bathroom last Christmas and stuck your tongue down my throat?â You asked.Â
âYup,â he said.Â
âHow about when you pick a fight with my dad when he says something shitty?âÂ
âHe stops sayinâ shitty stuff, Iâll stop fighting âim on it,â Joel shrugged. You groaned. âI just donât understand that man. I love âim like a brother, and all he says about you when you arenât around is glowing. Youâd think that man worships the ground you walk on but for some reason, you come home and he decides to act like a fuckinâ jackass and Iâm not about to just let him talk to you that way, baby, Iâm sorry but Iâm not. Iâd stop any man from talking about his kid that way but Iâm sure as hell not gonna just let him do it to you.âÂ
âYour chivalry would be hotter if it wasnât putting our entire relationship at risk,â you said wryly.Â
He shrugged.Â
âWe gotta tell him eventually, baby,â he said. âAnd if he finds out because he was being an ass, well, thatâs on him.âÂ
You went into what had become your usual habit with Joel and holidays. When he wasnât with Sarah - another hurdle you had yet to cross, not sure how sheâd feel about her father dating someone just two years older than her - the two of you were usually together. When you came to Austin like you were now, you went to your parentsâ house first and pitched in with your mother, counting the minutes until he showed up at the door. When he did, with his special recipe baked beans in hand, a profound relief took you. He was there, with you, and you were making it work.Â
Or you were, until your dad made a back handed comment about your career yet again.Â
You clenched your hand a little tighter around your beer bottle and you opened your mouth to respond but Joel beat you to it.Â
âI donât know why you say that kind of crap,â he said, going from leaning against a fence post by the pool to rising to his full and frankly massive height. âYou tryinâ to make your kid feel like shit? Make her think you ainât proud of her and what she does? Because I got news for you, bud, youâre damn lucky to have someone like her for a kid, someone whoâs smart and kind and talented as hell. Youâre damn lucky she comes around here at all, you talking to her the way you do and Iâm not about to just let you pull that shit in front of me!âÂ
You stood there, mouth open, staring at your boyfriend who no one knew was your boyfriend. The party had gone silent, the only sounds coming from the sizzle of burgers on the grill and the quiet guitar of background music from the speakers around the pool.Â
âDonât much appreciate beinâ spoken to like that in my own home, friend,â your dad said eventually, his voice low and dangerous.Â
âIâm sure you donât,â Joel muttered, setting his beer bottle down with a little too much force on a nearby table. âIâll see myself out.âÂ
He hardly looked your way on his way to his truck and, when the rest of the guests left that night, you just had to pray that your mom believed you when you lied and said you didnât know why Joel would act like that because of you.Â
Two months laterÂ
âItâs just not working,â you said, your voice thick.Â
You didnât like doing this. You didnât want to do this. You needed to do this.Â
âBaby,â he said, a pleading edge to his voice. âCâmon, I know⊠I know things have been rough, that the distance is real hard and that I fucked up when you were here last butâŠâÂ
âWhat are we doing, Joel?â You asked, rubbing your temple with one hand and clutching your phone to your head with the other.Â
âI thought we were lovinâ each other,â he said in a voice so sad and weak it almost broke you.Â
âTo what end?â You asked. âWhere is this going? Weâve been doing this for more than two years now and whatâs changed? Weâre still in different states, my parents still donât know and neither does your daughter, our lives are still separate. We have no where to go from here and I just⊠I canât keep doing this. Itâs not working.âÂ
âIsnât it worth it like it is?â He said softly.Â
âJoel,â you whispered.Â
He sighed.Â
âYouâre right,â he said, clearing his throat. âIâm⊠Iâm sorry. I just⊠Youâre right. I shouldnât hold you back, you deserve to have whatever you want.âÂ
âSo do you,â you said quietly.Â
He laughed once.Â
âWe both know that ainât true,â he said. âJust⊠take care of yourself for me, OK baby? Give yourself something good.âÂ
âYou too,â you said, just letting yourself sob now.Â
âStill love you, baby,â he almost whispered. âThink I always will.âÂ
You pressed your nails into your palm. You werenât sure you could survive saying it back.Â
He didnât ask you to.Â
âIâll see you around,â he said. âBye, baby.âÂ
He hung up before you said I love you, too.Â
Seven Years Later
You wondered if you should feel guilty, looking at your engagement ring on your finger as your new fiance snored lightly beside you.Â
Reid was a good man. Youâd met on a dating app a few years earlier, a few casual boyfriends between you and the disintegration of your relationship with Joel by then but he still lingered there on the edge of your consciousness. Never close but never far away, either.Â
Your new fiance had wooed you in the usual way. He charmed you over text, he thoughtfully arranged dates, he even sent you flowers the first time you slept with him. He did almost everything right, even if he was sometimes oddly distant and unreachable. You were happy when he got down on one knee at the mini-golf course heâd taken you to on your first date, a large and shining diamond held out to you as an offering.Â
But for a moment, just half a second, it wasnât Reid you wanted to ask you that question. It was Joel, the man youâd loved more than any other, the man you hadnât spoken to in the better part of a decade, the man you had no business still loving that you wanted to ask for your hand.Â
Breaking things off had been the right call. You were right, it couldnât work. You couldnât have with him what you had with Reid, someone to sleep next to every night and plan a future with every day. But fuck, you still wished you could.Â
You toyed with the ring, twisting it on your finger, the stone feeling oddly heavy on your hand. Reid was a good man. One you could settle down with, one you could build a life with. He was what you needed.Â
You rolled over and wrapped around a pillow, trying to not think of Joel as you fell asleep next to your fiance.Â
***
Bar None, Present Day
Joel thought he was crazy when he saw you.Â
It wouldnât surprise him if heâd lost his mind, spending the last decade hung up on you the way he had. There hadnât been a day that passed since you left him that he didnât think about you. He wondered how you were doing, if you were too stressed at work or if you were drinking enough water or if youâd seen a movie he thought youâd like.Â
Sometimes, he just thought about you existing in your life. He pictured you on your couch reading or laughing with a glass of wine in your hand or lying in bed with your eyes half closed as you drifted toward sleep. He liked doing that, picturing you in your space in the intimate moments of your life.Â
Others, he thought about the deeper things. He thought about you being happy, both alone and with someone else. He thought about you getting older and advancing in your life and your career. He thought about you struggling sometimes and how he wished he could make it easier. He thought about sending you flowers on your birthday and almost did a few times before deciding that might mess things up for you, if you were dating someone and flowers from another man showed up at your door so he didnât because all he wanted was for you to be happy.Â
Heâd started talking to your dad again, a few months after you broke things off with him. They made up in that gruff way men did, dodging any and all emotion as much as they could. Joel latched on to everything your father mentioned about you. He became masochistic, in a way. Asking after you sometimes, checking in on how you were doing, seeing if your dad took pictures when you came home for the holidays. The day you got engaged was a punch to the gut. Your dad had proudly announced it to the whole team at their game that night, damn near glowing. That hit him harder than he thought it would.Â
You really were gone, then. It really was over. Your dad had shown him the picture youâd sent him when youâd gotten engaged. It was a selfie, a man much closer to your age than Joel was holding you close and tight as you held your ring up for the camera and smiled broadly. But, he thought - maybe wishfully - it didnât reach your eyes. Not really. Some part of this wasnât entirely what you wanted.Â
He shouldnât like that - and most of him didnât. He wanted you to be happy. He wanted you to have every good thing you could because you deserved that. But the rest of him was selfish because he wanted to be the one to give you those things. He wanted to give you smiles and orgasms and fucking diamond rings.Â
But he couldât. And you deserved someone who could.Â
Heâd tried to move on in your years apart, he really had. Heâd tried dating for a while. Sarah even showed him how to set up a dating app and he went out with a few women but it hadnât been any different than it had been in the past. It wasnât long before he gave up, resigning himself to a life where the best of it was behind him.Â
Going to Bar None was one of those masochistic things he just kept doing. He tried not to go too often, limiting himself to once a month at most. Some months were better than others. Sometimes, he could go six, eight weeks without stepping foot inside the place heâd first met you. Others, he went back three or four nights in a row. He always sat at the same spot heâd been at when he first saw you, like if he stayed rooted there long enough youâd walk back into his life and you could pick up right where you left off.Â
Still, it was a shock when he saw you come in with your friends that night. He forced himself to sit there and wait even though your eyes found his the second you were in the door.Â
You were engaged. Maybe even home for some kind of wedding related event. The last thing you needed was some ex-boyfriend butting in where he wasnât wanted.Â
But⊠you were looking at him. Not just looking at him, looking at him the way you used to, looking at him like you wanted him. So, when the last of your friends got up and left and you were there at the table, alone, he couldnât help it. He went to you.Â
And you werenât wearing a ring.
âIâm sorry, baby,â he said, looking at your bare hand for a moment before going back to your face. âYour dad didnât sayâŠâÂ
âYeah, he wasnât exactly thrilled,â you smiled a little, putting your hand back in your lap. âHe lost out on some deposit money for the wedding when that fell through. Thankfully, he got to place the blame on my ex and not on me.âÂ
âCan I ask what happened?â Joel asked, trying to keep from feeling hopeful. Lord knows he shouldnât.Â
âHe cheated on me,â you said, shrugging simply as though youâd said heâd forgotten what youâd sent him to the store to get.
âShit,â Joel shook his head. âIâm sorry. Heâs a scumbag, not to mention a fuckinâ dumbass.âÂ
You smiled a little and shrugged again.Â
âIt happens,â you said. âAnd, honestly⊠I was a little relieved. The closer we got to the wedding, the more I wondered if I was doing the right thing.âÂ
Joelâs heart sped up.Â
âYeah?â
âYeah,â you nodded, taking a sip of your drink. âAs much as I loved him, it just⊠it wasnât the same as how I felt for this one guy I dated before.âÂ
âReally?â Joel asked, forcing himself to stay in his seat and not take your face in his hands and kiss you.Â
âReally,â you smiled a little bigger now, one that it looked like you were struggling to contain. âWe dated for a while and I loved him so much. I still do. But I was stupid, I let a bunch of life things get in the way and I didnât fight for things with him the way I should have.â
Joel moved a little closer to you.Â
âProbably not stupid,â he said. âProbably just practical.âÂ
âNah, it was stupid,â you said. âWhen you love someone that much, the only practical thing is to figure it out, you know?âÂ
He took a deep breath.Â
âYeah,â he said. âI know.âÂ
âAnyway,â you said. âI decided to come back here. See if he was still single and willing to make a go of it. A real go of it this time, one where we say fuck all the life problems because this is worth it.âÂ
âWell,â Joel said, his heart racing now. âHeâd be a fool to turn you down. He was a fool for letting you go to begin with.âÂ
You smiled all the way then before leaning into him slowly, hesitantly. You kissed him, gentle and soft and your lips were so familiar but so electric on him. Something in him came alive at your touch, sparking low and deep and hot and he was suddenly desperate for you. His hands moved of their own accord, one to hold your face to his, the other to take your waist, slipping around to your back, pulling you damn near off your bar stool and into him, his tongue dipping into the sweetness that was your mouth.Â
After what seemed like forever and no time at all, you pulled back from him, breathless and wide eyed.Â
âWant to come back to my place?â You asked quietly. âIâm still unpacking but itâs not far.âÂ
âYeah,â he nodded quickly and then laughed a little. As if he wouldnât go anywhere you asked. âCourse I do.âÂ
You were barely in the door when your arms were around his neck, your body pressed tightly to the front of him, his hands snaking around to hold you close. You led him to your bedroom, tugging at his clothes and stepping out of yours until both of you were naked next to your bed. Joelâs eyes ran over you in the dark, the slats of the blinds casting lines of moonlight over your bared skin. You were somehow - impossibly - even more beautiful than he remembered, his hands gently running over the outline of you in front of him.Â
âYou sure about this?â He asked quietly.Â
âIâm sure,â you whispered back. âMore sure than Iâve been about anything in a long time.âÂ
He smiled at that, kissing you before that smile swallowed him up, and he lowered you onto the bed. He guided you back on it, until you were in the middle of the mattress and he settled between your thighs. His cock - already so hard it almost hurt and dripping with want - nestled against your soft, wet heat, the head of him brushing your clit as he rocked himself against you.Â
âFuck, Joel,â you breathed as he kissed your neck, drinking in the smell of your perfume and skin and just a little bit of sweat from the heat of the bar. âI missed you.âÂ
âMissed you, too,â he dragged his teeth up and over your skin to nip at your ear lobe. âSo goddamn much.âÂ
He kissed over your skin, pressed himself against your warmth, worked himself against your slit, savoring every part of you he could possibly touch until you were dripping and damn near writhing below him.Â
âPlease,â you panted, your fingers knotting in the hair at his nape. âI need you, I need you inside me, please, IâŠâÂ
He just nodded, separating from you enough to look between your bodies as he lined himself up with your entrance, pressing just the tip of him inside your grasping pussy before settling on top of you again. His eyes found yours in the dark, your skin soft on his, your mouth open as you whimpered in pleasure and want.Â
âIâve got you,â he said. âGive you everything you need.âÂ
You nodded quickly, frantically, and he pushed inside, his cock spreading you open and he had to fight to not close his eyes and get totally lost in the feel of you. But he needed everything, he needed to see you while he felt you and heard you and breathed you in. It had been too long since heâd seen you like this - back arched, mouth agape, keening and whining from his cock. He needed it like he needed water or air, needed you with him like this as often as he could get it. He needed you with him in every other way, too. He was an addict, there was never going to be enough. He knew now, after years of drought, that he would happily drown in you if youâd let him.Â
He kissed you as he bottomed out inside, the whole of him filling the whole of you. Your walls clung to him, already fluttering lightly over him, your thighs wrapped around his hips as he held himself deep. He could taste you now, too, and his heart stuttered in his chest. Finally, he had all of you again, overwhelming all of him again.Â
When he started to move inside you, he knew he wasnât going to last long. You felt too goddamn good and it had been years since heâd last been with anyone without a condom. But he didnât need to worry about making you come, he could tell you were already close. It had been years since he last had you but his body knew yours deeply and intimately. He knew how your hips moved when you got close, how your channel would draw tight for a moment before relaxing ever so slightly, again and again until you were pulled so close around him that he knew you were right on the precipice of your climax.Â
âCome on baby,â he whispered, looking in your wide eyes. âCome for me, let me feel you.âÂ
You cried out, the sound cracked and desperate, and he pressed deep as you came, your channel throbbing and pulsing over him so hard that the rest of the world fell away. All that was left was you and how you were taking him, you and how damn good your pleasure felt.Â
âFuck, thatâs it,â he said, still grinding his cock deep into you until your orgasm started to ease. âNot gonna last baby, can I come in you? Fuck, pleaseâŠâÂ
âPlease, Joel,â you moaned but, before he could start fucking into you hard and fast, your fingers dug into his bicep and your eyes met his, pleading in a new way. âBut⊠Iâm not on anything.âÂ
He stilled inside you, your cunt still tight around him, the last aftershocks of your orgasm running over him. You wanted him to come inside unprotected. He knew youâd always wanted children. Youâd even day dreamed about it with him, fingers laced with his when you were naked in bed, but thatâs all it had ever been: a dream. Now, you were damn near asking for it.Â
âYou sure?â He asked, breathless.Â
âYes,â you whispered. âI want you. All of you.âÂ
âFuck,â he groaned, burying his face in your neck and fucking into you in earnest, his cock harder than it had ever been at your words. âIâm yours baby, only ever been yours.âÂ
Your thighs tightened against his sides, your hips rising to meet his, your pussy drawing tight around him again as he worked down into you and he moaned into your skin as he came, the heavy pulse of his orgasm making you come around him again, finding the height of your shared being together again, the way it seemed like it always should have been.Â
When his climax finally eased, he went limp on top of you for a moment, your hands tracing slow, easy paths over the breadth of his back. When it felt like he could control his limbs again, he kissed your shoulder and pulled out of you gently, falling to your side. You rolled to face him and he tugged you close before lacing his fingers with yours, brushing over your knuckles as he did.Â
âDid you mean that?â He asked quietly, eventually.Â
âYes,â you said softly, watching him closely. âI know what I want, Joel. I went a long time without you. I had a lot of time to think about things. I know what I want and what I want is you. I wanted you while we were apart, too, I was just⊠too afraid of what that might mean. But I know better now.âÂ
âWhat about your family?â He asked. âYour dad⊠not sure heâll ever forgive us.âÂ
âDonât care,â you said. âI fight with him all the time, anyway. At least this is a good reason to.âÂ
He smiled a little.Â
âAnd it doesnât bother you that Iâve got a kid whoâs just two years younger than you?â He asked.Â
âMoved past that years ago,â you smiled back. âDoes it bother you?âÂ
âMoved past that years ago,â he said, too, and you laughed.Â
âDoes it bother you that IâŠâ you took a deep breath. âThat I want kids?âÂ
He watched you closely for a moment, your lower lip drawn between your teeth.Â
âHavenât thought much about having more kids,â he said. âBut the times I have⊠theyâve been yours.âÂ
âReally?â
âEvery time,â he said. âSâlong as you donât mind them having an old dadâŠâÂ
You laughed again, all gentle and easy, the way things were when the two of you were alone together.Â
âThink we can manage,â you said. âI just want you. Everything else? Weâll figure it out.âÂ
He smiled a little and he reached out, cupping your cheek and looking in your eyes and feeling a spark in his chest that said he was holding the whole world in his palm.Â
âYeah,â he said. âThink we will.âÂ
A/N: I'm SO SORRY it took me a million years to finish this, I really didn't intend to. I hope it was at least somewhat worth the wait!
I hope you enjoyed these two crazy kids. I had a blast writing them. Thank you for being here and for putting up with the insane wait between chapters. Love you!

a/n: dividers @saradika-graphics đâ€ïž @aurorawritestoescape thank you for beta-ing, love you đđ«¶
It was the beginning of summer, and you were coming back to Austin for vacation. Now you lived in the north of the country for your studies, not too far from your mother, since your parents had divorced several years ago. You hadn't been back in Texas since last summer, and you were delighted to see your father. You couldn't wait to enjoy the heat and the pool. You were about to spend several weeks here, and you had been looking forward to the holidays so much that you almost twirled around as you headed towards the airport parking lot to meet your father.
Your phone buzzed, and you saw the text message.
âSorry, sweetie, I had a setback at work, I'm really sorry. Tommy is coming to pick you up from the airport. I'll see you home very soon. See you tonight, I canât wait!"
You were a little disappointed not to see your father right away, but Tommy? He was your dadâs best friend, and you had known him for a long time. Youâd had a big crush on him for a couple years, and your disappointment quickly gave way to a slight tightening in your heart.
You reached the parking lot where Tommy was already waiting for you, leaning against his car, smoking a cigarette. He threw it away as soon as he saw you and gave you a big smile before taking you in his arms.
âHey, darlinâ! Itâs been so long since Iâve seen you!â
You pulled away from each other, and you weren't sure if your brain was playing tricks, but you felt like you caught his gaze quickly checking out your body.
âDamn, look at you all grown up!â
You smiled at his warm welcome, and your grin reached your ears when he opened the passenger door as a perfect gentleman to let you settle in. When he got behind the wheel and started off, that time you were sure, his eyes lingered for a second or two on your bare legs, which your short skirt barely covered. You smiled. It was going to be a good summer, you were sure of it.
The radio was playing a cool 70s rock song, and you leaned your head against the headrest.
âHow old are you now, darlinâ? I feel like I havenât seen you in forever.â
"I'm 21. And it hasnât been that long, I was here last summer,â you replied, laughing.
âWow, really? Well⊠you seem like a whole different person now. How are your studies going?â
"Alright! I love studying classic literature. I feel good at my uni but Iâm happy to be back in Texas.â
âI bet you do! Howâs your mother?â
âSheâs fine too. She has a new boyfriend. Well, it's been almost a year now.â
âAlright. I hope heâs not a pain in the ass to ya?â
âNo, heâs okâ, you replied.
The trip continued with a really smooth conversation between the two of you. A few times, your eyes dared to linger on his hands placed on the steering wheel. His veins were prominent and his forearms muscular, and you couldn't help but wonder what his hands would feel like on you. âTheyâd make a perfect collar around my neckâŠâ you giggled softly at the thought. Apparently your crush was stronger than ever. And you were hornier than ever.
You realized Tommy was talking to you and you hadnât paid attention.
âMmm, excuse me?â you asked.
âWhat was your pretty head thinking about?â he asked, looking at you a little longer than usual.
âOh, nothing specialâŠIâm just glad to be back.â
âIâm glad too, darlinâ.â He checked out your legs when you were looking out of the window and couldn't catch him staring, before pulling into your father's driveway and wishing you a good afternoon.
You watched his car back out of the driveway, then he parked in front of his house. The house next to your dadâs. You waved Tommy goodbye when he looked at you before entering his house. You definitely didn't regret that he came to get you instead of your father.
The sun was flooding the dining room. Photos of you and your father adorned the walls. You missed him terribly every year. You called each other often, but of course it wasn't the same as seeing him every day. Like before.
Your bedroom was as you had left it. Everything in its place, every book, every photo, every memory. You lay down on your bed and stroked the soft blanket with your fingertips. For a few moments, your childhood memories came back to you. A bittersweet melancholy of a bygone time.
Quickly you thought about Tommy, and how he had checked you out in the car. It hadnât been that long since youâd seen each other, but he seemed to like you. Differently. At least you hoped so, and you would soon check if that was indeed the case. As usual, he would often come over to your dadâs house to watch a football game, have a beer, or enjoy the pool. On Sunday, there would be the usual early summer barbecue. You couldn't wait to go through your closet and pick a dress that would make him salivate.
But first you needed to get off. Your fingers slid down your body. Running them from your neck, where you imagined Tommyâs fingers lightly gripping your skin. The warmth of his hand on you. You went down to the hollow between your breasts, brushing them very lightly, before grabbing one of them and twitching the nipple between your fingers until you felt it harden. Your other hand traveled from your navel to your skirt. You brushed against the elastic, then the fabric, until you reached the hem. Pulling your skirt up to your waist, then brushing against your sensitive folds under your panties. For a few minutes, you played with your pleasure. Brushing against your swollen clit with feather light touches. Until impatience gripped you, and you finally slip your hand into your panties. Imagining Tommyâs feverish fingers working their way to reach your soaking pussy. You ran your digits along your soaked folds to wet them, and moved up to your twitching clit, already sensitive. You moaned, softly whispering âTommy.â Your index finger gently swirled over your little bud of nerves, applying the perfect pressure to make your orgasm build. Your other hand squeezed your breast, and you arched your back as your gasps filled the room. But you needed more. Needed to feel something in your core. Your hand left your breast and slipped into your panties, pushing your middle finger between your folds. Just in time for your pussy to clench on it, a wave hit your trembling body. Imagining Tommy inside you, his face above yours, balls deep in your cunt. His name escaped your lips one last time, with final twitches of your walls against your finger. All you could think about was Tommy, and the sensations he would give you. Sensations you could only imagine, because you were still a virgin.
Your father came back home early in the evening, and you had dinner together, chatted and laughed. You two always had a great relationship. When your parents had divorced, you all had agreed that you would live with your mother, since your father had often been away for work. But you missed him a lot, and summers with him were definitely your favorite time of the year.
Tommy came by your house a few times in the days that followed. But not once did you see his gaze on you like it had happened in his car on the way back from the airport. You were disappointed, but since your father was home every time he visited, you figured that maybe Tommy didn't want to risk something in his presence.
The barbecue day arrived, finally. You had chosen a short summer dress with white and yellow pattern, thin straps, no bra underneath. Black lace panties completed the ensemble.
You were impatiently waiting for Tommy to arrive, and you knew he would be among the first guests. You were busy setting the table when you heard your name. Tommy was approaching you and he wasn't alone. Joel, his brother, was with him. He was slightly older than Tommy, and you hadn't seen him in several years. You didn't remember him being so hot and you lost your breath when you saw him. They hugged you, and If Tommy kept a friendly attitude, Joel looked at you from head to toe and smirked, while your dad was busy with the other guests. Arousal instantly burned you from the inside out.
So you decided to go a little further. You seeped your beer while staring and smiling at Tommy or Joel, played with a lollipop redder than your lips while looking at them, or talking to them. You saw Joel readjust himself twice, and Tommy looked away a few times. But his bulge left no doubt about the effect your little game had on him.
The last guests were leaving, and you wished everyone a good evening. Saving your warmest, playful smile for the Millers. Your father had drunk a little too much, and told you he was going to bed. You walked him to his bedroom, helped him take off his shoes, and covered him with his blanket. Then you went into the garden and sat in one of the deckchairs, a beer in hand. You had drunk more than usual but you felt good, a little dizzy but not too much, and you wanted to end the evening like that, looking at the stars.
âYou havenât gone to bed, darlinâ?â, you heard from the aisle. Tommy and Joel were heading back towards you.
âNo, not yet, Iâm still enjoying the evening,â you added, raising your beer bottle at them. âDid you forget something?â
âYeah, my phone. There it is,â Tommy added.
âWanna join me for another beer?â
âYeah, sureâ, said Joel. They took beers from the cooler, then brought two deck chairs closer to yours. Conversation was easy with them. Both were quite talkative.
As for you, you laughed even more than usual, thanks to the beers you had drunk. The effect of the alcohol seemed much less stronger on Tommy and Joel.
âItâs getting late, I'm gonna put away the leftoversâ, you said, getting up.
âLet us help you, sweetheart,â offered Joel.
You took the salad bowls and went down to the basement to put them in the fridge. You found yourself really close to Joel as you walked through the door, and he clung to you wholeheartedly.Â
âSo, baby... what was that little game all evening?â
âYou liked it?â you asked, shamelessly.
âOh, sweetheart, are you sure you know what youâre gettinâ into?â
âWhat are you doinâ, Joel?â asked Tommy.
âJust what she wants. Come on, sheâs been hitting on us all day.â
âHer fatherâs here, Joel. Heâs⊠Heâs my best friend.â
âDrank way too much. We heard him snoring from the dining room. And she can fuck whoever she wants, itâs not her fatherâs problem. Sheâs 21.â
âI⊠I donât know man.. Iâve known her since⊠forever.â
"Jesus. She's an adult. You wanna have fun, baby?â
âYes! Yes, please. Come on, Tommy, I wanna play with you tooâ, you added, flirting openly.
Tommy's remorse quickly dissipated, you werenât sure if you had to thank the beers for that or not. The two brothers' bodies pressed against yours two seconds later. Tommy's lips sought yours, while Joel's covered your neck with kisses. The four hands caressed your waist and breasts, and you felt their hard cocks pushing against you. Virility and masculinity emanated from them. Strength, too. They were men, not boys or young men, and had a totally different energy than the guys you had dated so far. And even though your desire for the two brothers was soaking your panties, you started to fear that maybe you wouldnât be able to manage what was going to happen next.
âWait, waitâ, you breathed out suddenly, while your hands were lost in Tommyâs wavy hair. They pulled away from you slightly at the same time, respecting your uncertainty.
âWhat is it, darlinâ?â Tommy asked you gently.
âI⊠uh. Fuck.â You looked at him with a mixture of different emotions in the eyes. Joel stood in front of you, side by side with his brother.
âIâŠdamn. Iâm a virginâ, you finally confessed, looking down at the ground.
âWhat theâŠâ Joel said with raised eyebrows, pulling away from you and taking a few steps into the basement, hands on hips.
âWell⊠I played with dildos but⊠not real dicks.â
âChrist, darlinâ we can't⊠We canât do thatâ said Tommy, shaking his head.
âYouâre a virgin? How is it even possible? I mean⊠Youâre screaming for our cocks and you never took one?â added Joel.
âI just⊠I dated guys but they were jerks. I never wanted to fuck one of them. PlusâŠâ
âPlus what?â asked Joel.
Alcohol gave you some courage, or unconsciousness, and you murmured âI couldnât get Tommy out of my head.â
âNo shitâ, chuckled Joel, âmy little bro is a crush of his best friend's daughterâŠâ
âShut up, Joel. Darlinâ, what are you talking-â
âOh come on, Tommy. You saw how I looked at you. And I saw how you looked at me. Iâm an adult. And⊠youâre hot. Both of you. We can have fun, right? I guess you don't fuck virgins every day. I just need you to go slow."
âNo. No way. We canât do that. Not here, not now⊠we canât do that Joel. It was one thing to fuck her. But having her first time with us here? With her father upstairs? No way.â
âAlright, alright. What if⊠Weâd do other things?â
âWhat things?â
âUsing our hands and mouths. We could play with her mouth too.â
âI donât fuckinâ know, man. And she drank too much to think clearlyâ, said Tommy.
âShe wasnât drunk when she was teasing us as soon as we arrived. You want this, baby?â Joel asked, looking at you.
âYesâ, you answered firmly.
âBoth of us?â
âYes.â
Joel moved closer to you, took off your dress, and whistled before looking at his brother.
âWe have fun. But we donât fuck her. Not with our cocks, at least.â
âThatâs twisted, Joelâ, Tommy murmured, but without being able to take his eyes off your body.
âThatâs hot as fuck.â
âFuck⊠Ok. Ok...â
A few seconds later, you found yourself on the couch in that basement with Tommyâs shoulders between your thighs.
âYour pantiesâre soaked, baby, jesusâŠâ he said.
âTold you I wanted itâŠâ you flirted.
âFuckâ, he said, caressing your folds through the fabric, before removing them and spreading your thighs slightly to reveal your pussy. âDamn, look at that, JoelâŠâ
Joel moved closer and Tommy spread you further, so his brother had a perfect view of your bare, dripping pussy.
âWhat a juicy cunt⊠Already all swollen up. Canât wait to taste it. But you go first, man.â
âYeahâ, Tommy breathed out just before he licked a long stripe from your folds to your clit.Â
You were already moaning at this new sensation. So different from the one you felt when you were making yourself come with your fingers, or even a sex toy. Tommy's tongue ran through your folds, his mustache and beard tickled your fine skin. Then danced at your core, and swirled over your clit, and you didn't know whether to hold on to his hair or his shoulders. Sometimes you would open your eyes and watch Joel, staring where his brother was eating you out, his hand squeezing his crotch to relieve the tension. Tommy pushed one finger in your cunt, and you stared at Joel as you came on Tommyâs finger, his tongue resting on your clit.
âFuck, thatâs hot baby, seeing you all spread like that for my brotherâŠâ
Tommy was so pussy drunk from being the first one to lick you that he almost came in his boxers when you clenched on his finger and moaned. He pulled away and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and you felt slightly embarrassed seeing how his mustache and beard glistened from your wetness. Then he got up and slowly pulled his cock out of his pants, and you saw the red, dripping tip of his thick length.
âYou wanna suck my cock, darlinâ?â
You nodded enthusiastically, but Joel firmly told you âwords, baby.â
âYes. Yes, I wanna suck your cock, Tommy.â
âYouâve never sucked a cock before either?â Joel asked as he in turn knelt between your thighs.
âNo⊠uh Joel? Are you gonnaâŠ?â
âEat ya? Yeah. Fuck yeah. Ya want it?â
âYeahâŠYeah, I want it.â
âYou got it, then.â
He spat on your cunt and you gasped, then he spread it with his thumb, careful not to overstimulate you.Â
âHow many times did you get off thinking about my brother, baby?â he asked before licking your soaking pussy.
âA⊠a lotâ, you whimpered, your hands tightening his curls, as you spread your legs as wide as possible to give him full access.
âYeah, you got off, thinking of my brotherâs tongue in your cunt? His fingers? His cock?â
âYeahâ, you breathed out.
âDamn, little brother. What a good little toy we got here...â
The way he was talking about you made you moan, and he buried his tongue between your folds.Â
Thinking that his brother was eating your pussy a few minutes before was turning you on like never before.Â
Thinking that the first time someone went down on you, he did it in front of his brother, before he took his place. And you were already wondering if you could convince Tommy to make them take your virginity, and if Joel would lie down between your thighs after his brother. Filling you both with their cum. The thought, coupled with Joel's tongue, made you cum a second time so quickly that you didnât feel it coming.
âSheâs so sensitiveâŠI wonder how many times weâre gonna make her cum, Tommy.â
Tommy was lazily jerking off while watching his brother eat you out. When your shaking stopped, his eyes darkened and he said âsit down, sweetheart. Will be easier to blow me.â
You obeyed, blushing slightly under their gaze on your bare body, but eager to taste his thick cock.Â
You had watched tons of porn and knew how to do it. But you wanted to hear Tommy tell you what to do, to be in charge. You let him grab your chin between his fingers, and lift it towards him. Applying a light pressure to it.
âOpen up for me, darlinâ.â
You parted your lips, and he bent over, dropping his saliva in your mouth, which you swallowed right away.
âGonna be sloppy for me?â
You nodded, eyes fixed on him.
âStick out your tongue and lick my slit, baby. Wanna see your pretty throat swallow what Iâm givinâ you.â
You darted your tongue out and twirled it around his tip, then swallowed his precum. Tasting it for the first time. He held his cock tightly in his hand while the other was holding the back of your head as he pushed his tip between your lips.
Joel had just finished another beer and was watching you suck his brother while palming his crotch.
âHow is she?â, he asked.
âGood. Fuckinâ good. A little shy and unsure. It's fuckinâ hot.â
âCan you imagine, her first time playing naughty for real, she wants not one, but two cocks? What kinda slut does that?â
If Joel thought he was embarrassing you by talking about you like that, he was wrong. You pulled back and your eyes fixed on his brother, as you asked feigning shy tone âyou like being sucked by your best friendâs daughter, Tommy?â Batting your long eyelashes at him, making Joel chuckle âwell, damnâŠâ
âFuck⊠Youâre a naughty thing, darlinâ, arenât ya? Naughty things like you donât keep their mouths empty. Keep suckinâ.â
You smiled and took him back in your mouth, applying yourself, attentive to his moans and sucking him according to his sensitivity.
Joel opened two beers and offered one to his brother who took sips regularly, his other hand resting on the back of your head while fucking your mouth and throat. Joel sat on the couch next to you, and took out his cock, wanking slowly while drinking his beer too.
âI think my brother needs some relief, baby. Be a good girl and lie down.â
Once laid down, Joel spread your thighs indecently, exposing your soaking wet pussy.
âGonna let me play with that little cunt, sweetheart?â
You nodded, just before Tommy slipped his cock back in your mouth. Drinking his beer at the same time. Being used like this was turning you on more and more. Both of them still had their clothes on, and you found it so hot. Making you feel even more used.Â
âImagine how tight she must be. How sheâd squeeze our cocks, if we fucked her like she begs to be. One day, donât freak out little brother.â
âI know, fuck, stop talking about that or Iâm gonna nut.â
Joel smirked and spread your glistening folds with his thumbs and you felt your wetness flowing down to your asshole. He spat on your cunt and you moaned.
âShe just loves that,â Tommy smirked, thrusting deeper in your throat.
Joel hummed, and brushed his beer bottle between your folds, and you tensed noticeably.
âCome on, Joel, donât be a jerk.â
Joel chuckled again, and said âyou know I wonât do that. Iâm not gonna split her open with a bottle. At least not for her first time. Just wanted to spice up my beer.âÂ
He took a sip of his beer, covered with your wetness.
âWay better, now.â
âFuckâ, said Tommy, watching him.
Joel rubbed his shaft along your folds, making you moan, mouth full of Tommyâs cock. Feeling his cock against your pussy was an overwhelming sensation. So different from feeling a cold dildo. Your hips rolled against Joelâs shaft and he growled.
âDonât fuck her, Joelâ, Tommy warned.Â
âYeah. I know. Fuck, I know, I know. Her cunt is trying to swallow me, man, you see that?â
âYeah⊠Our little whore. When did you become such a cockslut, baby? Your father raised you as a good, proper girl, and look at you playing with our fat cocksâŠnot that I'm complaining, takinâ such good care of us, damn.â
Joelâs precum was mixing with your wetness and he rubbed his tip against your clit.
â âm gonna come soon⊠gonna shoot my load on that pretty pussy, cover her in white, fuckâŠâ
âSuck my balls, baby⊠gonna come soon too.â
Tommy grabbed his big balls and let them cover your mouth and chin as he started to jerk off. You licked, sucked his balls eagerly, like you've seen dozens of times in porns.
âLook at that Joel, holy shit. Better than your lollipop, uh darlinâ?â
âSee brother, who gives a shit sheâs your best friend's daughter? We could rail her all summer, ruin her pretty holes every fucking day. Teach her how to be a perfect fuck.â
Their dirty talk, the way they were talking about you as if you werenât even here, made you melt and despite your sore jaw, you couldnât stop licking Tommyâs balls, still jerking off.
âFuck, darlinâ, yeah just like that. Keep suckinâ my balls. Oh god. Fuck!â
His cum spurted out, white pearls falling onto your hair and face as his hand held your mouth pressed against his balls.
You heard Joel growl and he grabbed your hand, holding it against his shaft sliding along your folds, until he came too, his cum covering your pussy and fingers. His jerks against your clit made you cum one last time, your pussy desperately empty, and you only wished to squeeze their shafts soon enough.
âJesus⊠you dried our balls so good, baby.â
They tucked their cocks into their jeans, looking at you still lying on the couch covered in their cum, breathing heavily. Tommy brought you a towel and they helped you up.
âYou liked it baby? You liked being a good slut for us?
âNever felt better, actuallyâ, you smiled.
The next morning when you came down for breakfast, your father had already made you coffee and toasts.
âDid you have a good evening, sweetie? I think I passed out⊠Did you help me in to my bedroom? I canât remember a thing, I'm sorry sweetie.â
âI did, donât worry âbout that, dad, itâs totally ok!â
âI wasn't a very good host or proper father last night. Wasn't it too much work to put everything back together?â
âNo, donât worry. Tommy and Joel helped me.â
âOh great. Iâm glad they helped you, canât say Iâm surprised they did. Theyâre good Texans, with proper manners.â
âThey really areâ, you smiled warmly.
That evening, you knocked on Tommy's door. Joel's figure appeared behind him when he opened it.
âI want more,â you murmured.

Too Sweet
Carl Grimes x Shane's Son Male reader
slightly aged up just for plot reasons
You did not have a good relationship with your dad.
He was practically two different people in public and private. In private you were mostly ignored, but if you weren't, then you were just a disappointment.
All because of Carl and Lori Grimes.
Nothing you could do would make him proud, he would throw you away in the blink of an eye if it meant taking Rick's place.
You and Carl used to get along, but you couldnt help but push him away, atleast it could be played off with you being older and teen moods.
Rick tried to include you, he was more of a dad to you than Shane, talking, playing, sports, just spending time but it just hurt.
So when the apocalypse starts, it's not a suprise you just happen to be left.
You somehow made your way to a farm, hoping it would be abandoned, but of course it wasn't and a woman on a horse came at you.
That's how you ended up joining the Greene family. It was hard. You actually got cared for, you practically were adopted
But then a boy was shot and Hershel had to help, and of course the people you honestly never wanted to see again had to show up.
Rick almost choked you with the hug he gave, Shane wasn't back yet, still out with Otis. The man who was teaching you to hunt with a gun because a knife won't always work.
Your dad came back, alone. You were already Maggie and Beth's brother, but Otis was like an older brother. And now he's gone.
When Carl woke up, Rick with all good intent, told him you were here. You would think it was magic how quickly he healed enough to go looking for you.
He was so insistent. Didn't matter how much you walked away, or replied rudely, he would just follow you everywhere.
For Carl, it was worth getting shot, because now you're back! He missed how you two hung out and when everything went down he didn't think he would ever see you again.
Everything was horrible with Shane, his whole group didn't even know you existed, even worse when they thought Shane was Carl's dad at the very beginning.
The Greene family were on edge around Shane, sometimes even getting hostile if he started crossing the line against their brother and son.
Rick had to step in and tell Shane to leave you alone until they found Sophia, because Hershel warned him they'd get kicked out if it continued.
Your relationship progressed without you or Carl noticing, but everyone else did.
Carl included you in everything, and included himself in anything you did.
It was hard to get over the jealousy, but with Shane gone and how Carl seemed so happy to spend time with you, like you were the greatest thing in the world, it was easier to heal.
Maggie was having the time of her life teasing you, hypocritical considering her and Glenn can't leave eachother alone.
What pushed you two to date was when Lori died. Daryl asked you to look after Carl, so you did. Spending time in his cell, getting him outside for some fresh air, just talking to him.
When he wanted some private time, you cared for Judith instead. Hershel joked that neither you or Beth should think about having a baby antime soon.
Maggie, humorous as always, told him there was no worry on your side unless Carl could get pregnant.
It was later when Carl came out of his cell, you were still looking after Judith while Beth made milk and Glenn helped Maggie make some food.
That night, you stayed up with Carl. He was struggling to sleep lately, so you stayed up until he fell asleep. This night he just started crying.
So you just hugged him. Nobody spoke. The only sound was Carl hiccuping and breathing while you wrapped your arm around his shoulder.
When Carl quieted down, he turned to see you, but you were already looking at him. And you were close.
It was easier to push away any feelings before, there was no time to think over feelings, more important things were happening.
But here you were face to face and before you knew it Carl kissed you.
Carl is practically your owner and you're the guard dog. Stubborn is your middle name, but one whisper of your name from Carl and you listen.
He never gets over the butterflies or blushing, you hold his hand and he's practically burning and trying to hold his smile back.
You constantly were protecting him. There was technically no need, he could take care of himself perfectly fine, but you insisted on it.
Sometimes it got annoying to him and he'd snap, Rick would end up explaining that you just care for him and dont want him to get hurt.
It's free entertainment for the adults watching you two go through a relationship.
You both sneak away from the group to make out, but when youre on the road its harder and Carl really doesn't want to make out in front of anyone, especially his dad.
You do end up breaking that rule one day, you were with Michonne after the prison fell, and when you found him you both just ran to eachother.
Cuddles are mandatory.
You have to be watched when eating, because you will just give Carl your food if it means he's healthier, Carl was not happy when he found this out.
Carl loves being pampered by you but he'll pretend he doesn't, but if you can't for whatever reason it doesn't feel right.
this is based off the Carl fic i have with the same premise, i might end up putting it on ao3...

Cradles
In which you get to see Dean in his TRUE element
Dad! Dean x Mom! Reader
Warnings: none really unless you donât like kids
I am not a mother but I tried to be accurate lmao
Also I couldnât remember for the life of me if the bunker had a couch but it does now stfu
You were on the couch folding clothes, baby clothes to be exact, while Dean was holding the baby. It was a miracle to keep her awake for more then 20 minutes at a time so Dean was more than happy to play with her when she was up, not that baby Charlie was all too happy about it most of the time. You and Dean both knew it was expected for newborns to cling to their mother, but you saw the hurt on Deanâs face whenever his daughter cried as soon as her picked her up, so right now, seeing his smile as she squeaks and coos makes your heart smile.
You feel the couch dip next to you and you turn to see Sam who extends his hand âI can take over laundry if you want to go take a napâ he offers, and as much as you could probably use a little break, you shake your head. âDonât wanna miss thisâ you smile and nod over to Dean, Sam smiles. âItâs pretty cool to see him being a dadâ Samâs comment makes you laugh softly. âIâve been watching him be a dad ever since I met you twoâ you say, leaning you head on Samâs shoulder. âYou were his kid long before Charlie wasâ you tell him. Sam doesnât respond, just pulls you into a hug. When you two go back to watching Dean and the baby, you speak again. âI really hope sheâs a daddyâs girlâ, you say it so quietly youâre positive Dean couldnât have heard, but Sam did. âI donât think any mother ever has said that beforeâ he laughs, and so do you. âYea well, I think he deserves itâ you hum, fully content to just watch Dean be a father. In this moment thatâs all that matters. Not monsters, not Chuck, nothing but the little family youâve built.
You hear the bunker door click open, and look up to see Cas holding groceries. He walks over and hands you an energy drink. âCas you might have just became my favorite person everâ you chuckle as he smiles âHello to you tooâ. Sam follows him to the kitchen, which leaves you and Dean alone again. He walks over and sits beside you on the couch.
âShe looks just like her momâ he says, kissing you on the cheek, âspeaking of her mom, how are you? You can go shower or sleep, or both. Iâve got herâ and you realize for a millionth time that youâve found your person. âIâm shockingly gonna decline that offerâ you say, leaning to rest on Deanâs shoulder. âI wanna stay like this for a secondâ you whisper, and he kisses your temple. âThat sounds niceâ. So thatâs what you do. Sit there and look at the life you brought into the world and realize that everything truly had been worth it. Saving the world was nothing compared to this.

Born In The U.S.A
dean winchester x angel!reader
1.3k | fluff, fem pronouns
summary: in a spur of the moment decision, dean decides to take his wide eyed angel on a road trip to see all of his favourite places in america.
âdean, are we there yet?â your sweet voice drifted through the small confines of baby, sending a smile onto deanâs face as he counted that being the fourth time youâve said that in the span of five minutes.
you were so used to flying wherever you needed to go, that it took dean a good couple of months to explain to you that driving took a little more time than your usual choice of wing transportation.
he gave your thigh a light squeeze with the hand resting on it, turning his head slightly so he could see your bewildered expression. âalmost there, sweets. just another hour or so.â
you and dean had spent the past couple of days in the impala together, driving around different places in america so he could show you his all time favourite spots.
he had realized you didnât know much about earth, and in a last minute decision, he whisked you away from the bunker and left sam and cas to deal with any up coming cases.
dean hadnât expected you to be so ecstatic. he was expecting you to worry about leaving the workload on sam and your brother. though he was greatly surprised when you jumped into his arms, hands hugging tightly around his neck as you peppered countless kisses on his face and neck.
the excitement confused him slightly, asking you why you werenât worried. you just smiled at him, revealing that youâve been undergoing an unfamiliar feeling of need for dean and just dean. you wanted some alone time with him, and dean winchester wasnât one to complain about that.
so the two of you set off on your journey, the open road and deanâs favourite american destinations in front of you.
the stops you two had been on were pretty eventful. dean had started off in chicago, parking his car and taking you on a stroll throughout the city. you were confused on what he wanted to show you until the two of you stopped in front of what dean called âthe big beanâ. you looked at him bewildered, deanâs excited face confusing you more. your lips parted with lack of words before you looked at dean with a subtle look of wonder. âwhy is it called that, dean? itâs just a giant, metal blob.â
he followed up your trip to chicago with the next stop being in north carolina. dean brought the two of you to a truck stop, explaining that this was the first place his dad let him drive the impala. he followed that up with going inside the small convenience store attached and buying you a shirt that said âtruck life or no lifeâ. he ended up taking a picture of you wearing the shirt, you wearing an even more confused face to match. he posted it to his friends only facebook page, the caption reading, âmy angel is better than yours.â
your last stop was in minnesota, dean pulling into a sleepy looking diner that had you fearing for what he had up his sleeve. though you were thoroughly surprised that all dean had in mind was expressing his love for what he called âthe best apple pie in the whole damn world.â
countless times you told him it was a waste of time to come here. that all food tasted like molecules and you wouldnât be able to enjoy it. dean didnât seem to care though. he just kissed you on the cheek, leaving a slight residue of apple filling as he spoke through a mouthful of pie, âwith you here, itâs all i could ever dream of.â
now you two had been driving for a day or two, not stopping until you got to maine; per deanâs request. you didnât know what he had in store for this state, but you were starting to get antsy trying to figure out what it could be.
dean seemed way to calm for your liking. classic rock cassette taps playing in the background as his fingers tapped the beat on your leg. the angelic side of you wanted to worry, but the other side that loved and trusted dean with your entire being said otherwise.
as he turned onto a dirt road that was off the side of the highway, your bewilderment grew ten fold, not understanding where dean was going to take you. the impala rumbled to a stop, your curiosity leading you to lean forward and get closer to the windshield to a get a better look at where dean had taken you.
in an instant it all made sense. the willow tree that overlooked a mossy pond took over your vision, and dean was grinning ear to ear as you whipped your head to look at him with a surprised smile on your face.
âdean,â you breathed out, opening the car door and stepping out into the earthy atmosphere. âthis is the place where we met for the first time.â
âit is, sweets. possibly the best place america has to offer.â the grin on deanâs face could outshine a million suns, following behind you as you slowly walked towards the droopy tree. the two of you had met here around one year ago; castiel had heard static over angel radio, implying at a rogue angel was coming down to earth.
youâd rebelled like cas, seeing all the good that he was doing for humanity and disagreeing with the harsh and lucrative beliefs of the angels. when you fell underneath that willow tree, wings and grace gone, you were so confused, harbouring the knowledge of millennia and eons with no knowledge in how humans operated in todayâs society.
when cas quickly transported sam and dean to the location in a remote location in maine, the group of three found you huddled underneath the willow tree, soaked to the bone from landing in the pond and shaking like a leaf. your knees were brought to your chest and you were rocking back and forth, reminding dean of a petulant child who just got caught doing something they shouldnât.
the brotherâs decided that cas should approach you. and when he did, you looked up at him with these big and wet eyes that had deanâs heart breaking in half. he heard you mumble a, âwhy do i feel like this, castiel? why is there this hollow pit in my stomach making everything feel so empty?â
âyouâre experiencing human emotions, most likely a sense of heavy sadness.â his gentle nature and smile brightened your face a bit, allowing you to follow his actions as he softly gripped your elbow and raised you to your feet.
âcome with us,â dean spoke lighter than heâs ever heard himself. âweâll teach you how to live.â
the rest was history, and now, dean stood under the same tree where he saw you for the first time. he remembers how scared you were that day, eyes fleeting over the bunker like something was going to jump out and kill you.
for a couple of months you were in a rough place. missing your brotherâs and sisterâs while slowly adapting to human life. dean was by your side the whole time, and those moments spent together was what grew the profound bond between you two. this is when dean started to feel his heart stop and clench anytime you came into a room; the time he fell in love with you.
âdean, this is amazing.â there was a teary lilt to your voice, and in an instant youâd turned around and collapsed into deanâs arms. he was warm against the biting air, bringing you close into his body as his hands found purchase in stroking your hair.
âthank you.â the two words left your mouth in breaths, smushing against deanâs chest as he smiled down at you, leaving a kiss on the crown of your head.
pulling away from you at an arms length, following up by wrapping his arm around your shoulder, dean walked the two of you towards the willow tree, a little smile decorating his face. âhonestly angel, we can just tell people you were born here. no one needs to know. though to me, youâll always be born in the u.s.a.â
âisnât that the song sam likes?â
âoh sweetheart, i have so much more to teach you.â
*dean totally has a facebook account with only ten followers where he posts almost 10 times a day and iâll die on that hill.

In The Moonlight
Leah Williamson x singer!reader warnings: None except shitty writing, fluff
A grin stretched across your face, wide enough to rival the jet lag currently waging war in your head. Two world tours back to back had been a whirlwind, exhilarating and exhausting in equal measure, Social media detox was the doctor's orders, a chance to reconnect with the real world however it was about to get a small pause with the absurdity of the TikTok trend.
Here you were, the hottest pop star on the planet, about to participate in a goofy social media challenge inspired by a goofy song from a sitcom.
You had stumbled upon a hilarious trend, people were reenacting the iconic scene from Modern Family where Dylan serenades Haley with his...interestingly phrased song, "In the Moonlight (Do Me)," and passing it off as their own in front of their family and friends. Laughter bubbled up in your chest as you watched one particularly enthusiastic boy singing the suggestive lyrics much to his parent's disgust and surprise.
"Right," you declared, voice thick with amusement, as you spoke into the phone"I'm breaking my social media blackout for this because I can't help but take part in this trend."
With a mischievous glint in your eyes, you grabbed your phone heading to the living room where Leah and a few of your family and friends have gathered for the barbecue. "hey guys can I have your attention for a quick second, please..I know I'm supposed to be on a break but, I can't get this new song out of my head and I need your opinion on it, I actually think it might work for a single."
A collective groan went up from the assembled group. They knew your "work" mode well, and it usually involved long nights in the studio, not impromptu living room performances. But Leah, ever the supportive girlfriend, flashed a smile.
"Alright, Elvis," she said, amusement dancing in her eyes. "Hit us with this 'new song.'"
Taking a dramatic breath, you check the tuning of your guitar, "It's eh, well you all know who it's about, the same person as all my other songs..it's called In the Moonlight"
The first strum of your guitar sent a hush over the room. They expected the usual pop magic, the infectious energy that had propelled you to superstardom. Instead, your voice crooned out the opening lines of Dylan's "song" with a hilariously exaggerated earnestness.
"The stars are falling from the sky, and you're the reason why. The moon is shining on your face, and I think it's found its place."
Laughter erupted as you finished the first verse, shattering the stunned silence. Your face turned crimson, but you held your pose, trying to maintain a serious expression as you began the chorus.
"Cause maybe, baby, I just want to do you, do you, do you want to do me, do me, underneath the moonlight, moonlight."
Your friends began to laugh silently as Leah's parents and your parents looked on horrified.
"And now we're hiding in my car, I let you see my scars, escape the dark for just one night, your heart makes me explode with light."
Leah snorted, trying to stifle a laugh. Your family exchanged bewildered glances.
"Baby, maybe, Maybe I will steal you, steal you just so I can feel you, feel you, maybe that will heal you, heal you on the inside."
The last note of your "song" died down, replaced by the deafening sound of crickets...or at least, it felt that way. Your family and friends stared at you, mouths agape, the only sound a choked cough from Leah's dad.
The tension broke as Leah doubled over, tears streaming down her face. "Oh my god," she gasped between laughs, "that was amazing! You had them fooled for a good minute there!"
Slowly, the rest of the room caught on. Laughter erupted, first in hesitant chuckles, then in full-blown roars. Even Leah's parents faces still flushed with surprise, couldn't help but crack a smile.
Your parents, still trying to process the experience, shot you a look that mingled amusement with a hint of disapproval. "Honey," your mom began cautiously, "that wasn't exactly...subtle, was it?"
You grinned sheepishly. "Maybe not," you admitted. "But you gotta admit, the reactions were priceless!"
Leah walked over, shaking her head and trying to hide a smile. "You're a menace," she said, giving you a playful shove.
You posted the video a short while later breaking the internet once again. The next morning, your phone was buzzing with notifications. Fans everywhere were recreating your video. You were trending again only this time not because of your tour.
Leah smiled hugging you from behind the next morning "You know I love you and all the wonderful songs you write about me, us, our relationship, but please promise me you will never write anything like that."
Leah smiled hugging you from behind the next morning "You know I love you and all the wonderful songs you write about me, us, and our relationship, but please promise me you will never write anything like that." You laughed turning in her arms "I love you too much to write a song just about your body and my wants for it, no I'll write about you, your soul and sometimes when I feel extra fruity then I'll write about your body and my wants for it no my needs for it."
Leah pulled you in closer kissing you softly "And I'll be your number one listener."

February 25, 2023
London, England
London felt different this time. The city hummed with its usual, muted energyâthe overcast sky casting everything in a soft, diffuse lightâbut for you and Pedro, it was like being in your own world, hidden in plain sight. The press tour for The Mandalorian had begun, but this time things had shifted. You were together now, and the stolen glances, soft touches, and subtle smiles painted your days in colors no one else could see.
Five days of interviews and cameras, but you didnât waste a minute when you were alone. London became your playground, with dinners tucked away in quiet corners and late-night walks along the Thames. Photos of the two of you surfaced online, of courseâyour laughter caught mid-frame as you leaned into him outside a restaurant, Pedroâs arm draped casually over your shouldersâbut to the world, you were still just friends.
There was an unspoken ease, an intimacy that hadnât been there before. It was in the way Pedroâs hand would brush against yours when no one was looking and how youâd catch him staring at you with that quiet, knowing smile that made your heart do somersaults.
One interviewer joked about Pedroâs tendency to play father figures on screen. "Itâs funny," they said, "you keep playing these fatherly roles. Whatâs the draw?"
Pedro chuckled, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose, glancing at you before answering. He wasnât just answering the questionâhe was letting everyone into his head, just for a moment. "I like the idea of it," he said, his voice mellow and thoughtful. "Being able to imagine that responsibility, that kind of love. Itâs... comforting."
You nudged him playfully, lighting up the moment with a grin. "Comforting, huh?" you teased, leaning in. "Youâre really gunning for that âWorldâs Coolest Dadâ mug, arenât ya?"
He chuckled again, the sound low and amused. "Oh, absolutely," he replied, mock serious. "But, letâs be realâIâm already cool dad material. Look at me." He spread his arms like he was showing off some award-worthy masterpiece.
You shifted on your seat, eyebrow raised, and whispered, âHoney, they want you to be the daddy, not the dad.â
Pedro froze for a split second before bursting into laughter, his eyes crinkling in that way that always made your stomach flip. "TouchĂ©," he said, still laughing. "Iâm multi-talented, I can be both."
You rolled your eyes, unable to hide your grin. âYeah, yeah, weâll get you the mug.â
The room erupted in laughter, and the easy banter between you two was back, but there was a difference now. Every joke, every shared smile held a layer of intimacy that no one else could decipher.
March 14, 2023
Los Angeles, CA
The night was electric, as it always was, a celebration of film and glamour.
Pedro looked gorgeous in his black Zegna suit, the sharp lines contrasting with the softness of his hair, longer than usual, curling slightly at his collar. His face lit up in that way you loved, the crinkles around his eyes deepening as he smiled. You, too, had dressed for the occasion in a stunning black Oscar de la Renta gown, the fabric hugging your body like a second skin. But it wasnât the dress or the cameras that made you feel beautifulâit was the way Pedro looked at you from across the room. He looks at you, not at anyone else. It feels very nice when he looks at you. It's grounding.
You arrived separately. The decision had been mutualâto keep your relationship private for just a little longer. Inside the Dolby Theatre, you texted each other relentlessly, your phone lighting up every few minutes.
Pedro:Â You look unreal.
You glanced across the room and spotted him, his eyes locked on you like you were the only thing in the room worth watching.
You: Have you seen yourself? Ridiculous.
You watched him bite back a smile. You knew what he was thinking, that playful look he got when he was trying to be serious but couldn't quite manage it around you.
Pedro:Â Wanna trade seats?
You glanced over at your seating arrangements, aware that the cameras were everywhere. It was almost torturous not to be able to sit next to him, to lean into his side and steal private moments.
You:Â Donât tempt me.
He raised an eyebrow from across the room, his smile lazy but full of warmth. You could practically hear him saying, "Try me," without even needing the words.
At one point, your phone buzzed again.
Pedro:Â I think the guy next to me just tried to flirt with me.
You:Â Well, tell him heâs got competition.
Pedro:Â Should I let him down easy?
You stifled a laugh, shaking your head and glancing toward the stage.
You:Â Maybe let him sweat it out first.
The night wore on, and he presented an award with Lizzie Olsen, and you couldnât take your eyes off himâhis smile, the way he owned the stage with that effortless charm. Every now and then, youâd steal momentsâwalking to each otherâs seats under the guise of casual conversationâbut there was thrill in the secrecy. It was fun, this private world you shared, just for the two of you.
Later, during one of the commercial breaks, the both of you managed to slip away backstage, away from the sea of people. The hustle and bustle of the theater seemed to fade as you both found a semi-dark corner. The dim light cast shadows on the walls, but all you could see was himâthe soft smile on his lips, the playful glint in his eyes.
Pedro wasted no time. His arm slid around your waist, pulling you close until there was barely any space between you. His scent, familiar and warm, wrapped around you as he leaned down, stealing a kiss from your lips. It was quick but full of tenderness, his lips brushing against yours as if he couldnât help himself.
You laughed softly, half-heartedly trying to push him away, knowing you had only a few minutes before youâd be called on stage to present the next award. âPedro, stop,â you whispered, your hands gently resting on his chest. âWe only have a few minutes, and I have to go soon. Theyâll call me any second.â
But he wasnât deterred. His lips found yours again, a bit more insistent this time, kissing you deeply before pulling back just enough to breathe. âA few minutes of you,â he said in a low, almost reverent voice, âwould be enough to keep me going for years.â
You felt a flutter in your chest, the world outside your little bubble disappearing as his thumb grazed your cheek. You tilted your head up, your lips brushing his once more, a tender kiss that lingered just long enough to make you want more. His hand rested on the small of your back, the heat of his touch soothing you in the moment.
âYouâre making this really hard, you know?â you teased softly, your voice breathless.
He chuckled, the sound rumbling against your chest as his forehead rested against yours. âGood,â he whispered, his breath fanning across your lips. âLet them call you. Iâm not letting you go until the last second.â
You smiled, leaning into him, allowing yourself just a few more stolen seconds. His lips found your temple, a soft, lingering kiss, as if trying to memorize the feel of you before the moment passed. You closed your eyes, savoring the warmth of him, the safety of his arms around you.
Then, reluctantly, you heard the distant call of your name from the stage manager. Pedro sighed, his hand slowly sliding away from your waist. âMy time's up.â
You looked up at him, a dangerous grin spreading across your face. âDonât worry,â you whispered, pressing a quick kiss to his lips. âyou'll get to have me for the rest of the night.â
March 31, 2023
Los Angeles, CA
By the time the PaleyFest rolled around, Pedro was already feeling the weight of keeping everything hidden. He wasnât a man who liked to keep secretsâespecially not something as big as you. You sat so close to him, so near yet so far, and it took everything in him not to reach out and show the world how much he loved you. Instead, he found himself compensating, channeling his feelings into every casual touch, every stolen glance that was meant for only you.
He showed up that night in a brown and beige cardigan, the fabric stretching over his broad shoulders, paired with green pants and black Chelsea boots. You had told him once how much you liked them. His scruff had grown fuller, darker, and he knew you liked it like that. It drove him crazy when your fingers brushed against it, soft touches that sent flames all the way to his chest.
The night had gone by swiftly enough. Interviews, panels, the usual public-facing routine. Yet, every moment felt charged with the knowledge that you were there, just inches away. You were sitting beside him during the Q&A session, your knees touching. His hand would occasionally ghost over yours, brushing against your fingers, almost accidentallyâexcept it wasnât. Nothing about this was an accident. You were deliberate in everything you did, in the way you turned toward him, your laughter soft and quiet as if sharing a secret only he could understand.
It was maddening. Pedro was a good actor, but this was real life, and it was becoming harder to play the part of just colleagues, just friends. Every time you touched him, even in the smallest ways, he was reminded of how badly he wanted to kiss you right then and there. He had to keep his cool, thoughâkeep things professional. But it was becoming impossible. You made it impossible.
The way you spoke during the panel, your voice warm and confident, filled with that easy charm that came so naturally to youâhe was falling apart inside. He couldnât focus on anything else. Every word out of your mouth felt like a temptation. Every soft glance in his direction was a tug on the string that bound his heart to yours.
God, youâre too much to be denied, he thought, his mind drifting as he watched you from the corner of his eye. He wanted to kiss you. Right there, in front of everyone. To hell with the secrecy. The privacy you two had was a blessing and a curse. It made loving you easier in some waysâno eyes watching, no prying questions. But it also made it sad, frustrating. All these private moments that he clung toâyour stolen touches, your quiet words of affectionâwere everything to him. But there was a part of him that wanted more.
He sometimes forgot that you were supposed to be keeping things quiet. It just felt so natural to be near you, to let his hand graze yours, or to press his knee against yours while answering a question. Nobody saw a thingâor if they did, nobody said anything. It was amazing how invisible these touches of heaven were to everyone else, how easily they slipped under the radar.
As the panel went on, Pedro found himself drifting. His mind wasnât in the questions or the answersâit was in the curve of your lips, the sound of your laughter, the way your leg brushed against his every time you shifted in your seat. You made it so easy to fall in love with you. Too easy.
When you turned to him, your eyes meeting his for just a split second longer than necessary, his mouth went dry. That quiet connection was enough to make him feel like he was losing his grip. He shifted in his seat, his heart pounding in his chest, trying to focus on the discussion at hand but finding it increasingly difficult with his pants growing tighter by the second.
He needed to have you.
Later, when the two of you made it back to the hotel, Pedro could barely keep himself together. The second the door clicked shut behind you, something in him snapped. Heâd been holding back all night.
As soon as the door closed, his hands were on youârough, needy, pulling you close like heâd been starving for you. Like a dog let off his leash. His fingers pressed into your hips, firm and demanding, and his mouth was on yours before you had time to take a breath. It wasnât soft or gentle; it was raw, desperate. Slow, deep kisses like heâd been holding his breath the entire night, waiting for this moment when he could finally let it all out.
You barely made it to the couch before things escalated. He couldnât keep his hands off you, his fingers slipping beneath your clothes, touching every inch of your skin like he needed it. Like heâd been deprived of you for days, even though it had only been hours since his hand had last grazed yours. His thumb brushed over your nipple through your shirt, and you gasped into his mouth, pushing your hips forward to meet his.
âYouâre not wearing a bra,â he murmured against your lips, his voice low and raspy, full of heat. It wasnât a question. It was a realization that had his cock straining painfully against his pants, desperate to feel you.
His fingers slid between your legs, pressing against you through the fabric, and you moaned softly, your head falling back against the couch as he worked you open. Slick and warm, your body responded to him like it always didâeagerly, hungrily. His breath was hot against your neck as he kissed a line up your throat, whispering things only you were meant to hear.
âIâve been thinking about this all night,â he groaned, grinding his hips into the cushions beneath you. His cock was rock hard, desperate for any kind of friction, but he wasnât ready to give in just yet. Not until he had you moaning his name like no one else could. âI couldnât stop thinking about getting you like thisâŠdesperate for me.â
His fingers moved inside you with a kind of expertise that left you breathless, his thumb circling your clit with just enough pressure to have you arching your back, gripping his arms for stability. He hopes you feel his frustrationâhis need to release everything he couldnât show in public, the need to pour every unsaid word into this moment. He kissed you harder, devouring you, his body pressing you deeper into the couch as he gave in to the desperation that had been simmering beneath the surface.
You clung to him, your breath coming in shallow gasps, your fingers curling in his hair as he fucked you with his hand, pushing you closer and closer to the edge. His mouth was close to your ear, his words a hot, breathy confession. âI canât stand it sometimes⊠being near you and not being able to touch you the way I want.â
You moaned. The soundâso deliciously wantonâspurred him on, his movements becoming more urgent and intense.
Pedro groaned, his lips brushing the shell of your ear and his beard scratching your skin as he thrust his fingers deeper. âIâm always desperate to make you feel good,â he murmured, his breath hitching with the intensity of it. He was grinding his cock into the couch, trying to find some kind of relief, but it wasnât enough. It would never be enough.
âPlease, more,â you gasped, your voice trembling, your body tightening with the anticipation of release. Pedro could feel it, could hear it in the way your breath hitched, the way your hips moved against his hand.
Just when you were about to fall apart, his mouth was on yours again, his tongue sweeping into your mouth, swallowing your moans as you came undone beneath him. Your body trembled in his arms, and he groaned, kissing you harder.
You were still coming down when he finally lifted you into his lap, pressing you against him, his cock straining beneath you. He knew you could feel it. He knew you wanted it just as badly as he did.
But then came the frustration, the gnawing ache. His hand moved to your cheek, cupping it as he kissed you softer this time, a contrast to the earlier desperation. âI think about kissing you so much,â he admitted, his voice low and husky as his fingers traced lazy circles on your thigh.
You smiled, pressing a kiss to his shoulder. âGood thing you get to do it whenever you want now.â
Pedroâs lips hovered just above yours, his breath hot and ragged. âWell, not whenever I want,â he muttered, his voice low, almost hoarse, before he found your mouth again. His lips trailed along your jaw, slowly, torturously, until they grazed the corner of your mouth.
You laughed softly, the tension in the room shifting with your teasing tone. âBlessed be this tired conversation,â you murmured, your words brushing against his lips. âWe agreed weâd wait, baby. Itâs better this way.â
His forehead rested against yours, his warm breath mingling with your own as his fingers trailed down the side of your face. His eyes, heavy with love and frustration, bore into yours. âBut I donât want to anymore,â he confessed, his voice raw with need. His fingertips trailed down the side of your face, tracing your cheekbone, committing each detail of your skin to memory like it might be the last time heâd get to touch you like this.
You grinned, teasing him with that wicked smile of yours that made him feel both alive and tormented. âYou could fuck me on the seven oâclock news, and theyâd just say I was desperate for attention,â you said, laughing at your own joke. But Pedro couldnât bring himself to laugh.
His thumb brushed over your cheek, and his hand cupped your face with a tenderness that made him ache. âWeâll face it together,â he whispered, the sincerity in his voice a promise. "Whatever they throw at us."
He didnât know how, didnât know when, but he knew that he was ready to take on whatever came nextâso long as it meant he didnât have to keep hiding you. Hiding us.
Before the moment could spiral into something heavier, before his thoughts took him down that path, Pedro kissed you again. Slower this time, more deliberate. Like he was trying to communicate with his lips what he couldnât with words.
Your fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer. Your breath was hot against his mouth as you spoke between kisses. âI know itâs frustrating, but we have this, Pedro. We have us.â
The words cut through the noise in his head, grounding him. He groaned softly, his hands slipping lower, his grip tightening as if you might disappear. âI donât want to wait anymore,â he said again, the need in his voice raw, his body already pressing closer to yours. He felt like he was on the verge of breaking.
He saw something flash in your eyesâdesire, affection, understanding. âThen donât,â you said, voice firm with want. A playful smirk tugged at your lips. âNow shut up and fuck me, lover boy.â
He smiled, and the last thread of his restraint snapped. His hands moved quickly, fingers pulling at your clothes in a frenzy, his breath coming faster as he discarded his own. The second your bare skin pressed against his, Pedro felt like he was drowning in the sensation of you. Heâd wanted thisâneeded thisâall day, maybe longer.
You sank down onto him slowly, and Pedro groaned, his hands gripping your hips as he felt you take him in. The heat of you, the slickness, made him curse under his breath. The stretch of you around him, the way you clenched at every inch, drove him wild.
âGod, you feel so good,â he groaned, his voice rough with arousal. He could barely keep his thoughts straight; the sensation of being inside you was enough to make him lose his mind. The way you gasped, the way your body tightened around him, made him dizzy with want.
His lips found your neck, his teeth grazing against your skin as he slurred a curse, his body moving in sync with yours. You didnât start slow. Neither of you had the patience for it. Your hips rolled against his with a roughness that made his cock throb inside you, and Pedro couldnât hold back the way he groaned into your neck, his hands digging into your waist, guiding you harder, faster.
Each thrust felt like a confession, like he was pouring all the things he hadn't been able to say for months into the movement of your bodies.
Your mouth found his ear, and through the gasps and the heat, you whispered, âI love you.â
The words broke something inside him. Pedroâs hips stuttered, his body jerking as he pulled you closer, his hand cupping the back of your neck. His lips hovered near your ear, and he whispered back, voice trembling, âI know, baby.â
You moved faster, grinding down on him, the wet sounds of your bodies echoing in the room, and Pedro thought he might lose it. The way you feltâthe way you lookedâwas too much, too perfect. He was on the verge, teetering at the edge, and he didnât want it to end.
Not yet.
But your body tightened around him, and he felt you shudder as you came, the sound of your breathless cry sending him over the edge. Pedro groaned, his hips jerking hard as he came inside you, his grip on you almost bruising as his release hit him like a wave, leaving him breathless and shaking.
You pressed a soft kiss to his freckled shoulder, your voice light. âSo⊠still frustrated?â
Pedro chuckled, wrapping his arms tighter around you. âNot right now,â he murmured, his lips brushing against your temple, âbut give me ten minutes, and Iâll probably be ready to go again.â
Your laughter filled the room, and for the first time all night, everything felt right.
Everything felt perfect.
âąâąâą
Several weeks had passed, and with them, the world had changed in quiet, insidious ways. Paparazzi photos had surfaced, capturing stolen moments and raising questions. The speculation had simmered, threatening to boil over. But this morning, when you woke up to the persistent buzz of your phone, the weight of those weeks hadnât fully sunk in.
Your hand lazily reaches for his side of the bed, only to find it empty.
Still half asleep, you reached out for your phone, the screen blinding in the dim light of your room. As your eyes adjusted, you saw the thousands of messages, and a particular notification popped upâan Instagram post from Pedro. You blinked, and then opened it.
There they were, pictures of you, ones you hadnât even realized heâd taken.
The first image was from one of your walks in London. You were bundled up in a thick scarf and coat, the fog of your breath visible in the cool air. Your hair was slightly tousled from the wind, cheeks flushed from the cold, and though you werenât looking at the camera, you were looking at him, your smile soft, eyes alight with an easy, unguarded happiness. There was something about the way you looked at him in that pictureâit was a look only he ever got to see.
Another photo showed you in a fit of laughter, your head thrown back, eyes scrunched shut, one hand covering your face as if trying to stifle the sound. It was blurry, like heâd caught you mid-movement, mid-moment. Completely unposed, completely you.
The next was a close-up, your hand stretched out toward him, your face only partially visible in the background, eyes shining, lips curved in a grin. Youâd been reaching for his phone that day, playfully trying to snatch it from him, teasing him about taking too many pictures.
And then, a quieter oneâan intimate photo of you curled up beside him on a couch, a book in hand, legs tucked beneath you. Your hair was untidy, and you werenât paying attention to the world around you, just lost in your thoughts. The soft golden light of late afternoon bathed the room, and the moment felt like a secretâyours and his alone.
But what caught you wasnât just the photos. It was the caption, simple yet profound in its clarity:
"Happy birthday to my best friend, the love of my life, my adventure partner, and my girl."
The internet exploded, notifications from friends, fans, your team, all lighting up your phone. Messages poured inâquestions, congratulations, shock. But none of that mattered.
What mattered was the truth in Pedroâs words, as clear as the morning light filtering through your window. No more hiding, no more stolen glances or shadows in the background. Just thisâa love that had been quietly building, finally stepping into the open.
May 6, 2023
New York, NY
The night of the Met Gala buzzed with energy, a heady mix of anticipation swirling in the air. You both got ready in separate hotel rooms, allowing your respective teams the space to work their magic. The atmosphere was electric, the evening monumentalânot just for the fashion, but for what it symbolized: your first public event as a couple. You had spent hours getting ready, your heart racing for reasons beyond the red carpet.
When you finally laid eyes on Pedro in his Valentino ensemble, time seemed to slow. He stood in the doorway, resplendent in a long crimson coat that swirled dramatically as he moved, paired with tailored shorts and sleek black boots. The boldness of the look, the way it fit him so perfectly, stole your breath.
"Oh my God," you whispered, unable to stop your jaw from dropping. There was something about seeing him like thisâbold, confident, unapologetically himselfâthat sent a rush of heat through you.
Pedro, amused by your reaction, raised an eyebrow. âI know,â he said, smirking slightly, clearly aware of the effect he had on you.
You couldnât help yourself, a cheeky grin curling on your lips. âMay I say, as the kids say, that you are serving cunt?â
He burst out laughing, the sound filling the hallway and bouncing off the walls, a deep, genuine laugh that made your heart skip a beat. As he stepped closer, his eyes roamed over you, taking in every inch of your body wrapped in the immaculate white Versace gown. The gown hugged your body perfectly, each intricate detail catching the light as you moved.
"Well," he said, still chuckling, his voice dipping as his gaze softened, "you're making it very hard to concentrate on anything else."
The cameras flashed endlessly as you stepped onto the carpet together, arms intertwined, your bodies pressed close as if the entire world didnât matter. For the first time, there was no hiding, no second-guessing. Your love was out there, on display for everyone to see, the vulnerability of it both thrilling and terrifying. Every step you took together felt like a declaration.
Inside the venue, the evening flowed. The opulent setting melted into the background as you moved through the crowd, hand in hand. There were moments where Pedro would pull you in close, whispering jokes or sweet nothings in your ear, and you'd catch the glint of mischief in his eyes. You danced together several times, his hands resting on your waist, the weight of his touch grounding you in a night that felt like a dream.
The chaos of the night faded away as soon as you were alone, the two of you slipping out of your clothes. The city outside was alive, its lights casting a soft, romantic glow over the bed as you lay together, skin on skin. Pedro moved above you, his hands tracing gentle paths down your body, every touch filled with reverence.
His lips followed the same trail, soft and deliberate, until he kissed you, slow and tender, his body sinking into yours with a quiet intensity. The urgency of earlier was gone, replaced with something deeper, something that spoke of love and forever. His movements were languid, like you had all the time in the world, and maybe you did.
âąâąâą
Pedro had been cast in Gladiator 2 and left for Morocco in June to start filming. The distance was both expected and dreaded, the time apart a necessary evil in your world. But then he was gone, and you missed him every day. You flew out to see him twice, visiting the set with a thrill in your chest, knowing that you were entering his world, one where he wore armor and swords and commanded a screen.
The second time you visited, you stayed in a quaint residence near the edge of the city. The night air in Morocco was warm and fragrant. Lying on the bed, a soft breeze ruffling the curtains, you watched Pedro kick off his boots, shedding the intensity of the day's filming as his grin softened in your direction.
âCome here,â he murmured, voice still rough from the day's work.
You rose, crossing the room to slip into his arms, pressing your face into his chest. His arms tightened around you, pulling you into him. You sighed into the space between his collarbones, feeling utterly content in his embrace.
âYou know, it never gets oldâseeing you in costume,â you teased, peering up at him.
He chuckled, pressing a kiss into your hair. âIf I knew you had a thing for gladiators, I wouldâve done this sooner.â
You slapped his chest lightly, earning another laugh. âI donât. Just you.â
âąâąâą
When July came, the vast ocean between you dissolved, replaced by the steady beat of his heart as Pedro flew from Morocco. The journey had been long, the hours heavy, but the moment he stepped onto the red carpet in Los Angeles and saw you, standing tall in your black dress, framed against the shimmer of camera flashes, his weariness evaporated. The world could have spun around you, but all that existed for him was youâradiant, poised, and undeniably powerful.
His eyes never left you, and as the evening wore on, he finally drew close, his presence a gentle comfort in the midst of the chaotic premiere. âIâm so proud of you,â he whispered, his lips grazing your ear, each word carrying a tenderness that only you could feel.
Without hesitation, you leaned back into him, your body instinctively finding its place against his. His arms encircled your waist, pulling you in just a little tighter, grounding you amidst the sparkle of the night. âThank you for being here,â you breathed, your voice barely a whisper, meant only for him. It was a moment suspended in time, the noise fading as his warmth enveloped you.
In his arms, you werenât the glamorous you, the center of attention. You were just you, and he was simply Pedroâthe man who had flown across continents just to be by your side for the night. His pride in you radiated through every gentle touch, every lingering glance, and in those precious moments, you felt it deeply.
There was no performance here, no expectations. You didnât have to try; you didnât have to prove anything. With him, you were never too much or not enough. You were lovedâcompletely and without condition.
âąâąâą
The SAG-AFTRA strike gave you both a break you hadnât anticipated, but it was exactly what you needed. For the first time in ages, there were no press tours, no filming schedules, no red carpets to think aboutâjust you and Pedro in the brownstone you'd bought together in New York.
The place was still in disarray, a maze of half-unpacked boxes, paint swatches taped to walls, and mismatched furniture that had yet to find its place. But it was yours. It was home.
Most days were spent amidst the chaos, trying to bring some sense of order to the space. Youâd argue, though never seriously, about where to hang a certain painting, or which color should blanket the living room walls. Pedro had been adamant about a soft olive green, his voice confident as he gestured to the swatch. Youâd rolled your eyes, but eventually relented, knowing full well heâd win you over. The walls gradually filled with memoriesâframed photos of your shared adventures, artwork picked up during travels, and books, some stacked haphazardly, others lovingly arranged by Pedro himself.
One rainy Sunday morning, you found yourself curled up on the couch in the living room, wearing Pedroâs emotional support Lakers shirt, the yellow one, the fabric soft and familiar against your skin. Pedro lay with his head in your lap, your fingers absentmindedly threading through his dark curls. His eyes softened as he looked up at you, a smile playing at the edges of his lips, those crinkling lines at the corners that always made your heart flutter.
"Keep it until I come back," he had said, handing you the shirt the night before he left for Morocco. Youâd kept it, of course, holding onto that part of him while he was gone, as if the shirt itself carried a trace of his warmth, his presence. Somehow, Pedroâs t-shirts always felt softer than yours, even though they were washed in the same generic detergent.
When he finally returned, seeing him at the door was enough to make your pulse quicken. You stood there, in his Lakers shirt, grinning at him in the way that only he could inspire. His eyes darkened when he noticed, a low sound escaping his throat. He didnât even bother to hide the desire that bloomed so quickly between you, his fingers already tugging at the hem of the shirt before you even had the chance to say anything.
That night, he made love to you with the shirt still on, pushing the fabric higher as his hands skimmed the bare skin of your thighs. His fingers knew exactly how to touch you, how to unlock the deepest parts of you before you even knew what was happening. Pedro always wanted your company in such a frank, straightforward way, his need so clear and open that you found yourself giving in to him completely, surrendering to his hands and his mouth before you even realized what you were doing.
As his lips pressed against the curve of your throat, trailing kisses down your neck, he murmured softly, âMissed you so much, mi amor,â his words brushing against your skin as his hand curled tenderly against your ear, thumb tracing the delicate curve. Your eyes caught a glimpse of the tiny bullseye doodle inked on the back of his left hand, just between his thumb and index finger.
The days unfolded like thatâlong stretches of time where the outside world felt far away. Youâd lounge in the living room, watching movies. Or dancing to Prince songs in the kitchen while cooking together.
âąâąâą
The strike went on longer than expected, giving him something he hadnât had in agesâtime. Time to breathe, to be with you without the constant pull of deadlines, flights, or set schedules.
When the idea of escaping to Europe surfaced, it felt like fate. He craved your company in ways he hadnât realized until the possibility of uninterrupted days became real. And so, flights were booked, suitcases stuffed, and you ran away together.
Paris was the first stop. Cobblestone streets and the smell of fresh bread lingered in the air as you wandered hand-in-hand along the Seine. Pedro couldnât keep his eyes off you. You were his favorite sight in the city.
One evening, the sky was tinted rosy, as if it, too, was in love, bathing the city in a soft, ethereal glow. You leaned into him, head resting against his shoulder, as you stood by the water, the Eiffel Tower looming in the background.
âWe needed this,â you murmured, voice as soft as the setting sun.
âYeah, we did,â he replied, pressing a kiss to your forehead. The simplicity of the moment made his heart swell. Here, in Paris, everything slowed down, and they had timeâtime to love without distraction.
âąâąâą
Mallorca had a way of making everything slow down. It was the kind of place that made Pedro feel young again. The air was thick with the scent of the sea, and the sky stretched out, impossibly blue, matching the water that shimmered below.
When you arrived at the hotel, the exhaustion from travel and the constant rush of life evaporated as soon as his hands found you.
He couldn't wait any longer, his hands reaching for you the moment you crossed the threshold into your room. His fingers tangled in your hair, his lips pressing urgently against yours as he murmured, "Take this off, quick," between heated kisses. You giggled, that soft, breathy sound that always made his heart skip, but the look in your eyes was anything but playful.
The two of you had tumbled into bed, a mess of limbs and laughter, desire taking over. You were on top of him, moving slow and deliberate, the way he liked it. Your skin glistened with sweat, the heat of the room wrapping around your bodies, and he couldnât think of anything except how much he needed you in that moment. Every touch, every kiss felt like it was branding him, marking him as yours. His hands roamed your body, fingers tracing the curves he knew so well, and still, every time felt like the first.
When it was over, you both lay tangled together, the scent of your exertion heavy in the air. He could feel your breath on his neck, the warmth of your skin against his. For a long while, neither of you moved, content to just exist in that perfect silence, the summer heat pressing against the windows as the world outside slowed to a standstill. You didnât know how easily you had marked him, how deeply you had sunk your teeth into his flesh.
Hours later, he woke to find you still draped over him, your head resting on his chest, your fingers splayed over his stomach. His heart ached in the best wayâthis was what it meant to be yours. Every part of him, from the way he loved you to the way his mind quieted when you were near, belonged to you.
The next morning, you were sitting by the water, perched on the smooth rocks that lined the shore. The water was clear as day, a sparkling, crystal blue that seemed to go on endlessly. You were wearing that purple swimsuit he loved so much. It made his pulse quicken every time he saw you in it.
You were eating fruitâmangos and berries, the sweetness lingering on his lips as you both played cards; the deck spread out between you. Pedro loved these simple moments. The sunlight reflected off the water, casting a coppery glow over everything, and he couldnât help but stare at you as you talked, your wet hair falling loosely around your shoulders, your eyes bright and happy.
âYouâre cheating,â you said, narrowing your eyes at him as you set your cards down, suspicious.
He grinned, pretending to be offended.
âCheating? Me? I would never.â
âYou totally are,â you insisted, reaching across to poke his chest. âI know that look. Youâve got something.â
He chuckled, leaning back on his hands, his gaze sweeping over you. âIâm not cheating, cariño. Iâm just better at this game than you.â
âLiar.â
It was easy between you, the banter flowing naturally as you both basked in the warmth of the sun. There was a lightness to being here, a sense of freedom that neither of you could ignore.
Everything felt rightâperfect, even.
A few minutes later, you stretched lazily, setting your cards aside as you glanced toward the water. âWanna take a swim, old man?â you teased, your eyes sparkling. âIâm hot.â
He raised an eyebrow, his heart racing just a little faster at the sight of you.
God, you were beautiful.
"Yes."
You stood, offering him your hand, and he took it, pulling himself to his feet with a grin. âCome on then,â you said, leading him toward the water, your bare feet dancing across the hot rocks.
The water was cool against his skin as you both waded in, the heat of the day melting away as you swam lazily, floating in the crystal-clear sea. He couldnât stop watching you, the way the water glistened on your skin, the way you smiled at him, carefree and full of life.
âąâąâą
Prague felt like stepping into another time, a place woven with cobblestone streets and Gothic spires. Pedro loved it here. It suited the two of youâa city where you could get lost, but it never felt like a mistake, only an adventure. As you walked hand in hand through the narrow alleyways, your laughter echoed off the ancient stone walls.
He hadnât been able to stop staring at you all night, captivated by the way your red lipstick caught the dim light of streetlamps, the way it stained the wine glass at dinner. It was as if the color made everything else disappear, and his attention had been stuck on your mouth, tracing the lines of your lips as you smiled, teased, and bantered with him. The playful glint in your eyes was dangerous, addictive.
âYou keep calling me âold manâ like itâs supposed to offend me,â he teased, his voice low as you strolled down the empty streets, slightly drunk, arm looped through his.
âWell,â you said, pausing dramatically to look up at him, a smirk tugging at the corner of your lips. âYou are older. Wiser, though. Sometimes.â
âSometimes,â he laughed. âCareful, baby, or Iâll stop giving you the benefit of my hard-earned wisdom.â
âHard-earned wisdom, huh? Sure,â you teased, your fingers tugging gently at the fabric of his black dress shirt, your steps a little unsteady but your voice steady with danger. âWas it hard-earned the same way youâve earned all those aches and pains?â
He groaned exaggeratedly, putting a hand to his back, pretending to wince. âSee? There it is again. More ageism. Youâre really hurting my feelings here.â
You couldnât help but laugh; the sound light and free. âYou donât have feelings.â
âI do,â he replied, pulling you closer with a smirk. âBut only for you.â
As you walked, your voice drifted into song, soft and playful, filling the quiet streets with warmth. He didnât know if you realized how much those little moments, like hearing you sing absentmindedly, grounded him, made him feel like everything in the world was where it should be.
âDo you ever stop singing?â he asked, though not wanting you to stop.
âNot when Iâm happy,â you said, leaning your head against his shoulder.
His chest tightened, and he pressed a kiss to the top of your head, inhaling the scent of your hair as the cityâs chill air wrapped around you both. âI like hearing it.â
When you reached Waldstein Gardens earlier that afternoon, the place had been nearly empty. The serenity of the garden, the way your footsteps echoed in the quiet, felt magical. The trees arched over the pathways, casting dappled shadows that danced as you moved through them, your laughter mingling with the rustling leaves.
At one point, you had gotten lost, but neither of you cared. It was part of the charm, part of what made being with you feel so effortlessâthere was never a rush, never an urgency. You wandered the gardens as though you had all the time in the world.
âGetting lost with you isnât so bad,â he had said at one point, his hand brushing against yours.
âYouâre just saying that because I have no idea where we are.â
âMaybe.â He stopped walking then, turning to face you, his hand coming up to cup your cheek, thumb grazing the corner of your mouth, smudging that perfect red lipstick ever so slightly.
âBut itâs true.â
You kissed him then, in the middle of the empty path. His arms wrapped around you, pulling you closer, and for a moment, it felt like Prague, the gardens, the world itself, existed solely to frame this moment.
Later, back in your hotel room, you laughed about how lost you had gotten, and he couldnât stop looking at your lips, still stained that perfect red.
âąâąâą
Budapest was a dream of thermal baths and long, lazy afternoons. One day, you both spent hours soaking in the warm water, your body pressed against his, head resting on his shoulder as you floated aimlessly. He had never felt so relaxed, so completely at ease with anyone else. You were his anchor, keeping him from drifting away into his worries.
âYou sing when you wash yourself,â he told you one night as you stepped out of the bathroom, hair wet and a towel wrapped around your body.
âDo I?â you asked, smiling as you pulled him close.
He nodded, resting his forehead against your shoulder. âItâs one of the best sounds in the world.â
"Any requests for my next shower?"
"Hm, maybe some Fleetwood Mac?"
"Excellent choice, señor."
âąâąâą
Amsterdam was breathtakingly beautiful, and Pedro started to feel the weight of traveling in his bones. Though he didn't care. He was too busy loving you.
You two were in a bookstore, and you were a few aisles over, browsing through a stack of Russian literature, and he could hear you muttering under your breath, something about Dostoevsky. He turned the corner and found you flipping through a copy of White Nights.
âI swear, Iâm like that annoying guy whoâs always like, âOh, I love Dostoevsky, Iâm so cool, blah blah,ââ you said, half-joking but self-aware, and Pedro couldnât help but laugh at your expression.
He leaned against the shelf, arms crossed, his smile soft and warm. âI actually read Crime and Punishment,â he said. âSurprisingly, it was a pageturner.â
âSo, that makes us both annoying, huh?â
âGuess so.â He chuckled, watching as you turned your attention back to the books, eyes scanning the shelves like you were searching for a treasure hidden somewhere in the pages.
Pedro had always been drawn to sad booksâmelancholic stories, poems filled with longing. He didnât know why, but they spoke to a part of him that craved depth. Maybe it was his way of dealing with his own emotions, or maybe it was just the kind of person he was.
A few minutes passed, and he found you again, holding a book in his hand. âHave you read The Master and Margarita?â he asked, handing it to you with a curious look.
You shook your head, glancing at the cover. âNo, but if itâs one of your favorites, itâs going in the basket.â
You slipped it into the growing pile of books in your arms, and he smiled to himself, a little satisfied. He always felt a thrill when he introduced you to something he loved, like he was sharing a part of himself with you in a way words couldnât quite capture.
Later that day, you found yourselves biking along the narrow streets, the cool breeze ruffling your hair. Pedro had long since gotten used to the feeling of the city under his tires, but he could still feel the fatigue of the trip settling into his bones.
You, on the other hand, were full of energy, pedaling with ease and laughing as you wove in and out of the winding paths.
âStop, stop!â you called out, laughing as you veered toward a small ice cream stand by the water. Pedro pulled up beside you, catching his breath as you hopped off your bike, grinning like a kid.
âYou want some?â you asked, eyeing the menu as if you hadnât already decided what you were getting.
He raised an eyebrow, watching you with that look he always gave when you were being particularly cute. âYouâre the one whoâs always saying Iâm the one with the sweet tooth.â
âYeah, but Iâm hot,â you replied, throwing him a playful glance. âOld man, you should try to keep up.â
He rolled his eyes, pretending to be offended as he got off his bike. âYou know, the more you call me âold man,â the less inclined I am to buy you ice cream.â
You gasped dramatically. âYou wouldnât.â
He laughed, shaking his head as you ordered two scoops of stroopwafel-flavored ice cream. The vendor handed it over, and you took a bite, closing your eyes in bliss. It was one of the things he loved about youâhow you seemed to savor every little thing, even the simple joy of ice cream on a sunny afternoon.
After you had both finished, you found a bench by the canal, sitting side by side as people biked past and boats drifted lazily by. You leaned into him, your head resting on his shoulder, and Pedro wrapped an arm around you, pulling you closer. He pressed a kiss to the top of your head, breathing in the faint scent of your hair mixed with the cool air of the city.
âYou know, this has been one of my favorite days,â you murmured, your voice soft.
He smiled, his heart full. âMine too.â
A few days later, Pedro stretched his legs out on the couch, wrapping them around yours, as the familiar opening scenes of The Princess Bride rolled across the screen. The rain outside was steady, a soft backdrop to the cozy warmth of the hotel room. He was in his element, leaning into the cushions with a contented grin, quoting the movie with ease.
"Farm boy, fetch me that pitcher..." he said in perfect sync with the screen, his voice low and exaggerated. He glanced at you out of the corner of his eye, catching the slight roll of your eyes.
âOh my god, P, you do know every line,â you said, your voice tinged with affection as you snuggled closer, resting your head on his shoulder. "You're such a nerd."
He turned to you, a mock look of indignation on his face. âUh, do I need to remind you of all the times youâve made me watch Mamma Mia?â His eyebrow raised dramatically, but his tone was playful. âAnd each time, you quote it in its entiretyâand sing all the songs. Should I get started on Dancing Queen?â
You laughed, the sound soft and light. He loved that sound. Loved that it was his ridiculous comments that brought it out of you.
"Oh, donât even tell me you donât love it," you fired back, grinning up at him, your finger poking his side as if daring him to deny it.
He grinned wider, shrugging a little too innocently. âWell... I may or may not have had Super Trouper stuck in my head for weeks after the last time. So thanks for that.â He shifted, planting a kiss on the top of your head, his lips lingering in your hair for a moment.
You nudged him, laughing. âI knew it. You love it. Admit itâyou secretly love ABBA.â
He groaned dramatically. âOkay, fine. But only because you sing the songs better than the actual cast,â he teased, grinning as he leaned in closer, his forehead brushing yours. "Also, because Pierce Brosnanâs singing makes me feel better about my own.â
âOh, please,â you said, laughing, âIâve heard you sing. He's good. You? you...try.â
Pedroâs grin turned soft as he looked at you. âIâll take that as a compliment,â he murmured, his hand absentmindedly running through your hair.
The movie continued playing in the background, but it was quickly becoming an afterthought as you tangled yourself further into him. Your feet brushed against his, and he shifted slightly to wrap his arms around you tighter.
"Honestly," he started again, "I don't know how you do it. Mamma Mia, what, three times a month?"
âHey, ABBA is universal,â you shot back, poking him again.
Pedro chuckled, leaning back into the cushions.
âAlright, alright.â
He kissed the tip of your nose, and you scrunched it.
âDo you think weâre ever gonna get through a movie without this much banter?â you asked, grinning as you broke the tender moment.
Pedro laughed.âAbsolutely not. And I wouldnât want it any other way.â
You rolled your eyes again, settling deeper into his chest as the rain continued to patter against the window, and for a while, you both fell into a comfortable silence, the movie continuing on without needing your attention.
But then, just as the movieâs most iconic scene approached, Pedro couldnât resist.
âAs you wish,â he said, quoting Westley once more, his voice low and affectionate, his lips brushing the top of your head again.
You groaned, half-laughing. âYouâre impossible.â
âYeah,â Pedro murmured, his grin softening into something more tender. âBut I know you wouldn't have it any other way.â
"You're right for once."
âąâąâą
Lisbon was hot. The kind of heat that makes everything slow downâthe air, the conversations, the drinks. Pedro loved it. The golden sunlight bouncing off the tiled walls, the lazy sound of street musicians playing as you wandered through the city together. His friends had joined you both here for a bit, filling the days with laughter and easy company.
Tonight, you were all crammed into a small bar. He was on his third cold beer, the condensation dripping down his fingers as he took a slow sip, savoring the moment. Every now and then, heâd feel your gaze on him, and when he looked back, there you wereâteasing him about yet another ridiculous shirt heâd thrown on.
âIs this one an improvement over yesterdayâs?â he asked, voice full of mock innocence. He gestured to the vibrant, swirling orange and pink pattern across his chest.
You squinted, a grin spreading across your face as you leaned closer. âItâs loud. Iâll give you that. If we get lost, I can just look for a neon sign with arms.â
He snorted, setting his beer down, and casually placed his hand on your knee. The conversation around the table swirledâfriends joking, sharing stories, laughingâbut his focus kept drifting back to you. The way your skin glowed under the low light, the way your shoulders were bare, save for that thin scarf youâd tied as a top. Every time you leaned forward to laugh, the knot on your back shifted slightly, and he found himself tracing the lines of it with his eyes, admiring the curve of your spine.
You said his name a lot lately. In that soft, familiar way you did when you were teasing him, or when you wanted his attention, or when you were just... comfortable. Every time you said it, it sent a small jolt of tenderness through him.
He leaned in, pressing a kiss to your shoulder, letting his lips linger for just a second longer than necessary. The skin was warm from the Lisbon sun, and the smell of your perfume mixed with the salty sea breeze.
One afternoon, the group had convinced you both to take a pottery class. He hadnât been sure about it at firstâclay and his hands werenât usually a good matchâbut seeing the excited look on your face when you found the studio made it worth it.
Youâd both sat at a long table with his friends, laughing as you tried to shape bowls and cups out of the spinning clay. Your first attempt looked more like a lumpy rock than anything functional.
âIs that supposed to be a mug, or are you sculpting an alien egg?â he teased, leaning over to inspect your disaster of a creation.
He saw you glance at his perfectly shaped little vase and pretended to look offended.
âIâm going for abstract, thank you very much. Itâs called art.â
He chuckled, reaching over to smooth out one of the many dents in your clay. âUh-huh. Very avant-garde of you, Picasso.â
But as much as he teased you, he caught your sneaking glances, a small smile playing on your lips as you focused on your own project. He loved that look, the one you got when you were completely in the moment. It was one of the intangible things about you that had him wrapped up in this feelingâthis deep, undeniable love for you that grew stronger with each passing day.
Then, there was that morning with the guitar.
You knew he could play a littleâenough to get byâbut since heâd be playing in the second season of The Last of Us, he wanted to get better.
Naturally, youâd offered to teach him. The two of you had sat on the balcony of your Lisbon apartment, overlooking the orange-tiled rooftops, the sunlight leaving soft shadows over the city. You had your guitar across your lap, showing him some basic chords.
He was fumbling through a chord progression when you placed your hands over his, your body pressing up behind him to guide his fingers. He could feel your breath on his neck, the closeness making it hard to focus on the strings.
âCâmon, youâve got this,â you said, your voice encouraging but playful. âItâs not that hard.â
He let out a frustrated laugh, leaning back into you slightly. âSays the musical genius over here.â
You laughed, your lips brushing against his ear. âYouâre just distracted,â you teased, your hands still over his, guiding his fingers through the chord.
âMaybe I am,â he muttered, grinning as he strummed again, this time hitting the right notes. âBut I think Iâm getting the hang of it now.â
You leaned closer, your chin resting on his shoulder, and he couldnât help but steal a quick glance at your face. âSee? Iâm a great teacher.â
He shifted slightly, turning his head so your faces were almost touching. âOr maybe Iâm just a great student.â
âDonât get cocky, Pascal.â
He pressed a kiss to your temple, feeling that same warmth spread through him again. These momentsâwhen it was just the two of you, tangled up in something as simple as learning a songâthey felt infinite. He knew heâd carry them with him long after this trip was over.
Back in the bar, as the night stretched on, Pedro sat back and took it all in. His friends, his drink, you. It was the small, intangible things that made him love you more each day. Every once in a while, heâd lean in to place another kiss on your bare shoulder, just because he could. Just because he was happy.
âąâąâą
Pedro leaned back in his chair, eyes half-closed, as the sun dipped behind the whitewashed buildings of Santorini. The sky was a vivid pink, painted like a postcard, and the sea below shimmered in a way that made it look almost unreal. You sat beside him on the balcony, sharing a bottle of white wine, your feet propped on the railing. The light caught your face, and Pedro couldnât help but stare, mesmerized by how the golden hue played off your skin, tracing the curves of your cheekbones, catching in your eyes.
You turned to him, smiling as you took a sip from your glass. âWhat?â you asked softly, your voice teasing.
He shook his head, smiling back. âNothing. Just... Iâm watching the sunset.â
You laughed, the sound soft and melodic, filling the space between you. âPedro, the sunsetâs over there.â You motioned toward the horizon, but he didnât budge.
âI know,â he said, his eyes still fixed on you. âIâm watching this sunset.â
You rolled your eyes playfully, but your cheeks flushed, and Pedro swore he could spend every night like this.
"You're so cheesy."
Later that night, as you lay together in bed, Pedro traced the tan lines on your back, his fingers lightly brushing the places where the sun had kissed your skin. You had fallen asleep draped over him, your breath soft and even, and for a moment, he just watched you, trying to memorize the way you looked right thenâbeautiful, peaceful, perfect. He wondered if you knew what a cure you were, how youâd managed to stitch up the parts of him he didnât even know were broken.
A few days later, you dragged him to a small, lively bar tucked away in the maze of Santoriniâs winding streets. âSomeone told me about this place at breakfast,â you said, pulling him by the hand. âThey have fun cocktails, I heard.â
Pedro raised an eyebrow, but let you lead him. âAre you sure that's all?â he teased, his voice low and warm.
âYes, yes,â you flashed him a grin, that wicked little smile that always made his chest tighten.
The bar was relaxed but bustling, filled with the soft murmur of people talking over drinks. Pedro wore a loose white linen shirt, feeling a bit too warm but too comfortable to care. You, on the other hand, looked like you belonged in a dreamâa short, flowy white dress that clung to your body just right, showing off your legs in a way that drove him wild. All his thoughts kept coming back to you in that dress. He couldnât stop looking. Every time you shifted, crossed your legs, or leaned in to talk, his mind wandered to how good you looked in it.
As the two of you sat at a table in the center, sipping cocktails and bantering over something stupid, Pedro noticed the energy in the room shift. The lights dimmed, and a womanâlikely in her 60s, with long white hair and a colorful dressâstepped to the front of the room.
âGood evening, everyone!â she said, her thick accent cutting through the crowd. âIf youâve been here before, you know the drill. And if you havenât, welcome to the karaoke section of the night!â
Pedroâs eyes went wide. He turned to you immediately.
âOh no,â you muttered, pulling your chair back. âI had no ideaâdo you want to leave?â
For a moment, he thought you were about to escape, but instead, the woman with the mic suddenly appeared at your side, handing it to you. You grinned at Pedro, your eyes twinkling with mischief, shrugging as if to say, what can you do?
Pedro let out a laugh, shaking his head. âYouâve ambushed me,â he said, grinning as you stood up and made your way toward the front.
The crowd cheered as you started to sing Honey, Honey, and Pedro leaned back in his chair, watching you in awe. You were working the room like it was your own personal stage, your white dress flowing as you danced in your sandals and smiled, effortlessly captivating everyone.
As the music swelled, you pointed at him during the line, âYou look like a movie star,â your eyes locking with his. Pedro played along, pointing at himself with an exaggerated look of confusion, mouthing, âMe?â
God, you were driving him crazy.
The whole room was watching you, and they had their phones out, and he loved it. Loved that this moment would live forever, likely plastered across social media by morning. But more than anything, he loved that you were his, that you could light up any room and still make him feel like the only person there.
When the song ended, the crowd erupted in applause, and you took a few pictures with some of the guests before sauntering back to the table, sitting down across from him like nothing had happened. Pedro was still grinning, his heart beating fast from watching you, completely enamored.
âNot bad,â you teased, sipping your drink, pretending like you hadnât just stolen the show.
Pedro leaned across the table, lowering his voice like it was a secret meant just for you. âYouâre killing me here, you know that?â
You raised an eyebrow, a playful smile tugging at the corner of your lips. âKilling you, how?â
âYou... in that dress,â he said softly, his eyes dropping to your legs before flicking back to your face. âDancing, in that dress. Singing. Itâs unfair, really. Iâm trying to keep it together over here.â
You laughed, your foot brushing against his under the table. âOh, Iâm sorry,â you said, voice dripping with faux innocence. âShould I have picked a more modest song orâŠdress?â
Pedro smirked, leaning in even closer, his hand reaching across the table to rest on yours. âYou know whatâs comfortable?â he whispered, his voice low and teasing. âThe fact that youâre going home with me tonight.â
Your eyes sparkled, and Pedro knew that look all too well. âWell, sir,â you said with a grin, âthen I guess Iâll have to make it worth your while.â
Pedro chuckled, squeezing your hand gently. âYou already do,â he whispered.
âąâąâą
Amalfi Coast was like a postcard come to life. The sea carried out before him, sparkling blue. Both of you spent hours on the beach, the sun hot on your skin. You wore a red bikini that left little to the imagination, and every time he glanced at you, he felt something stir in his chest. There were parts of your body, those sun-kissed curves, that felt too sacred to stare at for too long, yet he couldnât look away.
You could not be held responsible for his reaction to you, for the cry of your sunburnt skin against the bright red bikini.
When you both returned to the hotel room after a long day, you ordered a bucket of ice. Pedro didnât question it, watching you from the bed as you moved about the room with that effortless grace you had. When the door clicked shut, you emptied the ice into a small towel and handed it to him.
âWill you do my back, baby?â you asked, voice soft but certain. Of course, he would. How could he deny you anything?
He pressed the cold towel to your sunburnt skin, your body arching slightly under his touch. âYou should have stayed in the shade,â he teased, though his voice was filled with tenderness.
"You know how stubborn I am."
He wasnât sure he had ever felt so content, so completely grounded in a moment. You were his fix, keeping him tethered to this world, to the present, to himself.
Later that night, with the cool breeze from the sea drifting in through the open window, Pedro pulled you close, pressing soft kisses to the places he had soothed with ice earlier. You moaned softly, and he felt that familiar warmth spread through him.
In those moments, he wants to give you everythingâhis time, his love, his energy. He hopes you take it. He wants to be yours completely, to listen to all of your musings, that you write him a thousand songs and letters, to be your safe space, just as you were his.
âąâąâą
He was nominated for an Emmy while you were in Rome, and he could tell you had never been more proud of him. You tackled him in the hotel room when the news broke, showering him with kisses, his laughter echoing through the space.
âMi amor, you're going to kill me,â he laughed, though his arms wrapped around you, holding you tightly.
âI donât care,â you beamed, your hands cupping his face. âYou deserve this so much.â
October 28, 2023
Los Angeles, California
This week was etched into your memory as the final crescendo to a whirlwind of Halloween festivities. LA had been alive with spooky energy the entire month, and tonight was no different.
You had spent the past week with Pedro, hopping from one Halloween event to another, attending parties, and trying to outdo each other with costumes. A few nights ago, you went to Halloween Horror Nights with his sister, Lux, and it had been a blast. You kept things simple with jeans and a t-shirt, but the thrill of the night was anything but.
The three of you had navigated the maze of haunted houses, clinging to each other whenever something jumped out at you. Lux had led the way, fearless, while Pedro and you exchanged shrieks and laughter.
"Okay, next haunted house, I'm going first," Pedro had said, puffing out his chest.
"You said that last time, and yet..." you teased, raising an eyebrow.
Lux laughed, shaking her head. "Don't let him fool you, he's jumped every time."
Pedro gasped dramatically. "Betrayed by my own sister. I thought we had a pact."
The whole night had been filled with that kind of lighthearted banter, and by the end, the three of you were breathless from laughing, your sides aching as you relived the best scares over churros and hot chocolate.
But tonight was different. Tonight was the final party of the season, the one you and Pedro were hosting at your LA home. The living room had been transformed with cobwebs and orange fairy lights, pumpkins scattered around with flickering candles inside. The theme for your costumes had been a matter of heated debate all week, but in the end, youâd settled on something so ridiculous it was perfect.
You, in a buttoned-up suit and black tie, with a fedora perched on your head, were Oppenheimer.
Pedro, in black pants, a black shirt with white fringe, a pink bandana draped around his neck, and a white cowboy hatâwas Cowboy Ken.
Together, you were, you guessed it: Barbenheimer.
For hours, you floated around the party, telling people, âWeâre Barbenheimer!â while Pedro chimed in, âOr more like Kenenheimer, donât you think?â
The whole night you were drifting from conversation to conversation, catching up with your girlfriends. All your old dramas are revived that night, and it is so sweet. But eventually, you found yourself alone in the kitchen, searching for a moment of peace away from the noise. You opened the fridge to grab another drink when you heard the familiar sound of Pedro's boots behind you.
"Well, hello there," he said, setting down two empty beer bottles on the island. His voice was soft, but there was a playful glint in his eyes that you recognized immediately.
You turned around, leaning against the counter with a smile tugging at your lips. âOh, hi, baby.â
You took a step towards him, your eyes shamelessly raking over his cowboy getup. He really had committed to the role, he hadn't taken that hat off all night.
Pedro noticed your gaze, smirking as he adjusted his hat. âWhat are you up to, Oppie? Did you need a drink, or are you just here to admire the view?â
You chuckled, crossing the kitchen to stand in front of him. âYou know,â you began, running a hand up the front of his shirt, âwhen you decided on Cowboy Ken, I was a bit skeptical. I thought you were going to look funnyâŠâ
âOh yeah?â
âBut it turns out,â you continued, letting your voice drop, âitâs actually really hot, mister.â Your fingers trailed slowly over the lapel of his shirt, down to his belt.
Pedro tilted his head, his smirk widening into a full grin. âIs that so?â
âMhm,â you nodded, eyes gleaming. âI guess I have a thing for cowboys now.â
He chuckled, leaning in closer, his breath warm against your cheek as he spoke. âGood to know,â he whispered. His hand came up to rest on your waist, pulling you in just a little tighter.
You laughed softly, the sound muffled as you buried your face in the crook of his neck. The smell of him, that mix of cologne and something distinctly Pedro, filled your senses.
The morning after the party, you woke up to a flood of notifications. He was fast asleep next to you. Sleepily grabbing your phone, you scrolled through the pictures from last night, stopping at the one you'd posted of you and Pedro in your costumes.
The caption: "Save a horse, ride a Ken."
It had been quite a hit. People were already loving the playfulness of it, but then you noticed Pedroâs comment beneath the post. Of course, he couldnât resist adding fuel to the fire.
Pedro had written: "How about we skip the horse and go straight to the riding? đđ"
You burst out laughing, shaking your head at the screen. It was so him. And of course, the comment section below his was already blowing up with people reacting insanely to it.
This man.
December 22, 2023
Santiago, Chile
Christmas in Chile was supposed to be calmâa peaceful, family-filled holiday with Pedroâs relatives. You'd imagined quiet dinners, soft music, and some traditional Chilean dishes. But in typical Pedro fashion, things didnât stay quiet for long.
It started innocently enough. The two of you had decided to explore the local market, weaving through the crowds, hand in hand. The air was warm and fragrant with the scent of grilled meats and roasted chestnuts, the hustle of people bartering, chatting, and living. Pedro was telling you something funnyâsome story about when he was a kid and his brother dared him to climb a tree.
You werenât really listening, though, because your eyes kept catching on the colorful stalls and bright trinkets. It was the perfect, chaotic slice of Chilean life.
Then, out of nowhere, it happened. One minute Pedro was laughing, and the next, his foot caught a loose cobblestone, and down he went. Time slowed for a moment, and all you could do was gasp as you saw him hit the ground, his arm awkwardly twisted beneath him.
âPedro!â You shrieked, rushing to his side, heart hammering in your chest.
He winced as you kneeled beside him, your hands hovering over him like you werenât sure where to touch. His face was scrunched up, but he looked up at you with that familiar grin, trying to calm you down despite the clear pain written across his features. âBaby, itâs fine. Calm down.â
But it wasnât fine. His right arm looked wrong, and even though he tried to brush it off, you knew better. Panic twisted your stomach, and before you knew it, you were helping him up, heading straight to the hospital.
The next few hours were a blur of waiting rooms and x-rays, and you held your breath every time Pedro winced. By the time they had him in an arm sling, youâd run through every possible scenario in your head, imagining the worst. But Pedro, as always, was trying to make light of the situation, his laughter filling the otherwise sterile room.
When you finally sat beside him, a mix of relief and exasperation washed over you. âDo you want me to kiss it better?â you teased, leaning over, your earlier panic slowly dissolving.
Pedro smirked, eyes sparkling despite the bandages. âMaybe later,â he said with a wink, his tone low, full of innuendo.
You couldnât help but roll your eyes. Even in pain, even with his arm in a sling, Pedro was Pedroânever one to let anything dampen his spirits for long.
A couple of days after the initial chaos settled, you found yourselves at his familyâs home. Pedroâs sling stood out against the twinkling Christmas lights, but he didnât seem to care. And neither did you, because as you sat together, surrounded by family, you felt an overwhelming sense of warmth. Even if your quiet holiday had taken an unexpected turn, you wouldnât have had it any other way.
December 31st, 2023
Los Angeles, California
New Yearâs Eve felt different this time aroundâdifferent in the best way possible. There was a softness to the night. The party swirled with music and movement, friends mingling and dancing in the flicker of colorful lights. But even with all that, your attention was fully drawn to him.
Pedro looked ridiculously adorable, even with his arm in a sling from that incident, and to top it off, he wore this silly pointy party hat that somehow made him even cuter. Every time you glanced at him, your heart warmed a little more. He had been a trooper through the night, navigating conversations and laughter with his usual charm, but always with that one lazy smile he reserved just for you.
After a few drinks, you found yourself perched on his lap, leaning against him like it was the most natural thing in the world. His left arm, the one still functional, wrapped securely around your waist, holding you close. You were rambling about something silly, pestering him like you often did, his brown eyes sparkling with amusement.
âUnderstood," he said, his fingers tapped lightly against your lips, a gesture that you had come to love.
You caught his fingers, pretending to bite them before leaning in for a kiss. His breath brushed against your skin, warm and familiar, and despite how long youâd been together, every kiss still made your heart race a little.
The song playing in the background, Do Friends Fall in Love?, fitted perfectly.
His hand slid gently down your back, making you shiver at the contact, his thumb tracing soft, lazy circles on your hip.
âYou think youâve got me all figured out,â he murmured, his voice low and intimate, his breath ghosting over your lips.
You smiled, laughing softly as you nuzzled closer. âYouâre an open book, Pascal,â you teased, rolling your eyes dramatically, though your words were laced with affection. âEasy to read.â
He raised an eyebrow, giving you that half-smile, the one that always made your heart flip. It was a smile full of challenge, like he knew something you didnât but wasnât about to tell you.
âOh yeah?â he muttered, leaning in closer, his lips grazing your ear, making you blush even in the warmth of the crowded room.
The night carried on around you, the music mixing with the hum of laughter and conversations, but your attention never wavered from him. The countdown to midnight began, the excitement in the room rising as everyone gathered with glasses in hand, but you were only aware of the way Pedroâs thumb traced patterns on your thigh, the way his eyes softened as they looked into yours.
âFive⊠fourâŠâ
The rest of the party blurred, voices fading into the background as the two of you stayed locked in that moment.
âThree⊠twoâŠâ
Pedroâs eyes never left yours, and in the space between heartbeats, the room fell away. His gaze was warm, intense, and full of loveâso much that it felt like you could melt under it.
âOne!â
Cheers erupted around you, glasses clinking, people shouting âHappy New Year!â But you barely heard any of it because Pedroâs lips were on yours, warm, gentle, and full of everything that made your heart feel like it was soaring.
When you finally pulled away, breathless, you couldnât help but smile, resting your forehead against his, feeling the soft tickle of his breath against your skin. âHappy New Year, baby,â you whispered, your voice filled with affection.
He smiled back, eyes twinkling with that familiar warmth. âHappy New Year, mi amor,â he replied, his voice low and tender, the words settling between you like a promise for the year to come.
a/n: alright so this was so nice and fun to write. please pleaseee let me know your thoughts besties!!! and don't forget to reblog and like. much love <3

Pedri where he loves his girlfriends hands in his hair no matter what!?!?!
Sweet â Pedri Gonzalez.
Pairing: Pedri Gonzalez x Fem!Reader
Summary: Pedri, who loves it when you play with his hair, finding it easiest to relax when you do.
Word count: 444
Disclaimer/s: none, just fluff!
A/N: i need this man like no other ughhhh. i had to do this in 2 small parts because hello, what happens when he buzzed his head. Alsoooo i was listening to âsweetâ by cas and had inspo to write this..
With short hair:
Pedri only regretted his buzz for one reason. He missed your fingers running through his hair, he missed falling asleep to that feeling and that alone.
Now, youâd just complain about how prickly it is. Not that you hated the cut, you honestly really liked it, but you just couldnât play with it the way you used to.
âIt feels like running my hand over toothpicks.â Youâd grumble, earning a look of disbelief from your boyfriend.
âToothpicks? Seriously?â Heâd groan, lips pulling into a pout. âIt cannot possibly be that bad.â
Youâd shrug, crossing your arms, âhey, you chose to cut it. Not me!â
So now, a few months since the initial cut, you realized itâd grown out a bit more. Therefore, it was easier to run your fingers through.
Pedri loved to come home from practice or after an away game, to lay his head on your chest and you watched your favorite show, your hands mindlessly running through his hair.
Even when you were just passing by, he loved the way you always touched his head, whether it was a small pat or a quick run through, his lips always pulled into a small smile. Heâd then pull you back, placing a soft kiss on your lips.
With longer hair:
âPedro.â You groan, using his full name this time. Heâd been moving constantly since heâd laid his head in your lap.
Pedri shifts again, moving his head to look up at you, âwhat?â He pouts, making a small smile grow on your lips.
âYouâre moving a lot.â You point out, glancing at Nilo, whoâd grown so quickly, you forget he was only a little puppy a 6 months ago. âTell your dad to stop moving.â
Nilo lets out a bark, making the both of you chuckle. âSorry!â Pedri puts his hands up in defense.
Moving your hand from the black labâs soft fur, you place it in pedriâs, running your hand through his soft black locks. Instantly, you notice your boyfriendâs whole body relax. A smirk grows on your face as you pull your hand away curiously.
It only takes a few moments for Pedri to grow restless again, so you repeat the actions a few more times, watching his face scrunch in annoyance over and over.
âCariño.â Pedri whines, looking up at you with a less than scary glare. One that amuses you greatly.
âYes, my love?â You hum, fingers stroking his cheek softly.
âPlease donât stop.â He grumbles, shifting to get comfortable before taking your hand back to his hair.
You giggle then, leaning down to place a short kiss to his forehead, âokay, you big baby.â

hey can you write something like husband percy jackson x wife reader being parents of a girl pls
âÂ·Ë àŒ * but I know I had the best day with you today
warnings: I wanted a greek mythology related name for the daughter so her name is cassandra (nickname cassie) and sheâs four!
pairing: dad/husband! percy jackson x mom/wife! reader
âhey cas, do you want a strawberry?â you ask your daughter who sits in your husbandâs lap
she hurriedly grabs the fruit from your hand, âyes!â she takes a large bit, almost animal-like
you sigh âyou are just like your fatherâ
percy lets out a dramatic gasp, âexcuse you?â
âthat is how you eatâ you point to your daughter who has strawberry juice covering her face
âI plead the fifthâ percy says before shoving a whole berry into his mouth
you shake your head and grab a strawberry for yourself, taking a small bite of it
âthat was a pathetic biteâ
you lightly hit percyâs arm and your daughter has a field day with this and starts hysterically laughing, then copies your actions before moving to your lap
percy doesnât fight on this, instead he sighs and plants a kiss on your head and then cassieâs before pulling you both into him for a hug
âmy girlsâ

Keeping up with the Bhangs
This is a one shot from the little series. Read it if you would like itâs on my master list :))
Warning: Angst
Pairing: Bangchan x reader
Summary: Being a mum is hard when you have to constantly play good cop, bad cop.
**
"Chan?" She called for her husband. "Chan come look at what your daughter did!" Y/n called again. The sight infront of her was painful. Her little girl was stood in the middle of the room looking so innocent but she had created a huge train wreck around her. She couldnât believe it.
She tried to keep her cool, she really did but she couldnât. She heard the quiet footsteps making their way up towards their daughters room. Her anger was being tested and she felt like she was about to blow.
"What is it Y/n? I have a really important-" he paused when he looked up from his phone as he stared at the sight in front of him. "What the hell?" He let out a gasp.
The room was a mess. There was paint everywhere and crayons all over the wall. The collections of toys chan had gotten Soo-min where spread all over the place and her clothers (Soo-min) was covered in dirt, paint and crayons as she stood there looking innocent with the crayon in her hand.Â
"Chan look what your daughter did!" Y/n raised her voice a little causing Soo-min to jump. She took little steps quickly to hide behind her father who was now standing fully in the room. It had been obvious she was scolded before this because her little hands were shaking and her lips were quivering.
Chans eyes soften as he loosened the tie that wrapped around his neck and unbuttoned his shirt. He was determined to keep his wife calm and fix whatever was going on. If he had time of course.
"Hey, Y/n calm down. Donât stress out baby. Its okay," He picked up his little girl with one hand trying to remove the paint of her face. Her eyes on the verge of tears as she pouted. "We can just get the cleaners to clean it-"
Chan being calm about the whole situation pissed of Y/n to the fullest because why was he so put together? Why was he such a good calm dad.
"Chan! you dont get it! this is not okay, she constantly disobeys, this is a huge mess! i left her for only a few minutes!" Y/n groaned frustrated as she threw the cups she had collected from the ground into a basket.Â
"Y/n, its fine. She's a baby-" the glare Y/n gave him instantly made him shut up and look at his little girl that was basically holding onto his shirt for dear life.Â
"M' sorry," Soo-min chocked on her sobs as tears started to spill and she Sniffed. She didnât understand why her mum was being so scary. She only wanted to draw to make her happy cause she knew how sad she had been.
Chans heart melted at her little pout.
"Its okay mama, no need to cry. Daddy's got you," Chan wiped the tears from her cheeks and grabbed the crayon and paint brush from her tiny little hands. "Y/n look what you've done, now she's crying."
"Chan you cant honestly think this is okay-" Y/n was buffled. Chan didn't think this was okay, did he?
"she's a kid! kids make mistakes, she's still learning. You don't scold her, you teach her," His voice was now loud aswell. He was getting frustrated. He didnt want his children growing up in a toxic enviroment where they get yelled at or abused. That was his worst nightmare.Â
âThen fine! You raise them if ur such a good teacher,â
âI donât have time for this Y/n I have a big meeting coming-â
âOf course you fucking do, why donât you just move into your office and abandon your kids and pregnant wife!â
Her blood was boiling. It was like she was getting everything off her chest and she needed it.
âY/n thatâs enough. Your acting like a child in front of her!â Chan growled. âYou canât even control this situation without calling and crying for me,â his chest was moving up and down as he was huffing. Trying so hard to control himself but he was stressed and tired and it was like she wanted to pick a fight every chance she got.
"Chan! why do you always have to be good cop. Why cant you see this is wrong? Stop being a bad parent and-'
"Bad parent?" He scoffs and looked up at her buffled, "I'm the bad parent? just cause you were abused when you were younger doesn't mean you have to put your trauma on my children..." His eyes go wide. He didn't mean it. He was just angry. He didn't mean any of it.Â
The tension in the air wise thick. The shocked gasp that left her mouth was painful. Her head started to spin. Her eyes turning red as her body started to overheat. The emotions she felt were overwhelming. A panic attack was coming on. Her eyes landed on her daughter, the little girl was covering her ears trying to cover her face in her fathers chest. Was she a monster?
"Papa? no fighting," The little girl squealed as she still continued to cover her ears. This made Y/n's heart break. was it true? was she becoming her toxic mother.Â
 "It's okay mama," He comforted her shivering body, "I-Im going to get her changed so i can go back to my meeting. I'll tell the maids to come clean up," he so badly wanted to hold his wife and apologize but with the way she stood in one place he knew he couldn't have the conversation, well not right now.Â
The door closed behind him as her little girls sniffles slowly faded in the distance. Y/n was in shock. Her brain was taking long to react. Her hands were cold and all of a sudden she couldnt hear anything around her.
Was she the problem? Was she being hard on the kids? she never yelled at any of them unless they did something horrible, she never intended for the father of her kids to call her toxic. To embarrass her like that.
It was too much, she was done playing tough guy. she was tired of the constant fight of depression. She was tired of her husband degrading her as she stayed home while he was out all night partying doing God knows what.Â
She wanted her life back. she wanted to be fun again. She didnt want to be tired all the time. She was tired of being pregnant.
Her face felt wet. Her hands automatically covering her eyes. Heart wrenching sobs leaving her body as she placed a hand on her belly. The doubt of being a mother was creeping back up. The sudden urge to run away and dissapear haunted her conscious. Truth is she was tired of the fake smiles and the big parties and important business people.
Yes, she loved the big house her husband built for them, she loved the grand cars and the golden credit cards but she wanted to feel again. She wanted to be loved again. By her husband. She wanted to be a teenager again, falling in love and being young and free.
She laid on the called floor. Her arms supporting the heavy bump she was carrying. The tiled sending shivers down her spine. The tears still spilling from her eyes until eventually she grew tired and fell asleep.
