Prompt #1,300

"I truly believe that you are my forever,"

[themaidenofwords]

"What's your dream house?" Character A asked suddenly, momentarily pausing their slow finger strokes through Character B's hair.

"A forest cottage." Character B's breath hitched and their exhale wheezed in a way that didn't bode well. "Somewhere in the mountains."

A carefully kept their face calm as they wiped away the drop of blood that had escaped the corner of B's mouth. "You don't want a castle or a mansion somewhere?"

"Why would I?" B smiled up at A, accidentally showing off their bloodstained teeth. "The only person... I need to share it with... is you."

A smiled back tremulously and did their best to blink the tears out of their eyes. "I'll hold you to it," they warned. "No weaseling out of it. We're getting out of here and finding a cottage."

Character B's eyes were growing more distant and their every breath seemed to pain them, but there was still a gentle smile about their lips. "With vines... and roses."

"Big pine trees," Character A added. The tears were now openly streaming down their face.

"An' a... big tree swing...."

A brushed their hand through B's hair again and did their best to avoid looking at the jagged piece of metal sticking out of B's side. "What should we plant in the garden?"

Character B did not reply.

"B?"

B's eyes had drifted shut and their face had gone lax, the smile gone. Suddenly, their wheezy breaths stopped completely, and the world went all too still.

"No, no, nonono..." A shook B's shoulders gently to no response. "B! You can't do this! You promised!" They stopped trying to shake B and instead sunk their forehead onto B's still chest. Their voice was little more than a whisper when they sobbed out, "You promised."

“Okay. You’re genuinely one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. You’re loveable. You’re worthy. You deserve far better than you got in this life and I don’t ever want you to have to suffer that way again. In fact I’ll make damn sure you never do, because I love you.”

Alex’s hazel eyes sparkled with wonder as they watched the sprinkling rain become a downpour. Alex looks back at Hugh, a golden-tanned young man with blond hair and fores-green tips. Alex reaches out their bronze hand, leaning on the rickety porch railing, and feels it becomes wet from the heavy clouds. A smile spreads on Alex’s lips as they practically skip down the porch stairs, somehow not breaking it as they hop down. As They reached halfway down the walkway, Alex turned and gestured for Hugh to come over to them.

“Let's go!” Alex said, excitement and the sound of rain against the metal roof blurring Hughs's heedful warning. Alex tried to yell for Hugh to come down to them.“What? I can't hear you! Come here!”

“Wait right there! I’ll come to get you!” Hugh yelled, running out to grab Alex before they could get too wet, but they were already soaked from the rain, their usually bronze skin noticeably pale. “Alex! You don’t have another set of clothes! You’re soaked! Get back on the porch!” Though the words were harsh, he said them with so much care that it made Alex almost laugh.

“I’m fine, baby!” Alex said, an open mouth smile showing off their gritted teeth that were practically chattering.

Alex met Hugh’s loving gaze; both hearts fluttered in their chests. “Let's get you inside, love. You're soaked!”

“Yeah, I suppose,” Alex sighed, their smile dropping slightly - at least until he turned his back, then they got a devilish smirk. “If you can catch me!”

Alex quickly and easily twirls out of Hugh's light hold on them. He tried to catch them, but Alex was halfway across the yard by the time he had turned around.

As Hugh chases Alex, He can’t help but watch as the person in front of him runs and dances around in the rain, their smile never fading and their laughter music to his ears. His eyes soften, and he smiles back at them. Alex stops momentarily, sensing his eyes on them, and when they turn around, they see Hugh smiling at them. Hugh can’t help but runs as fast as he can, catching Alex and twirling both of them around as the rain seemingly never stops. Alex wraps their arms around Hugh, pulling their body closer to his. Hugh ran his hands through Alex’s ebony curly hair, kissing their full lips and pulling them closer- if possible.

Hugh pulled away, putting his forehead again Alex’s. He let out a heavy sigh, his smile softening into a frown. “How do you love someone like me? I'm not perfect, and I gave you every reason to hate me, and you definitely hated me for a moment. Yet, you still found the good in me, and you fell in love with me. It’s a miracle, and I’ll never understand how I got so lucky, but I’ll never stop showing you how grateful I am for you.” Hugh spoke softly into Alex’s ear, sending a chill up their back. Or maybe they were getting cold from being in the rain for so long. Hugh thought to himself.

“Because what happened to you was your choice. You tried not to be an asshole when we first met; if anything, I was mean to you because I thought you were like them, and you still saved me.” Alex’s voice was just as soft, and they spoke slowly - less prepared to respond than usual. “You helped me escape, you kept me going, and you became my rock - even when we weren’t next to each other. I love you so much, Hugh.”

They embraced each once again, Alex shoving their wet face into Hugh's damp neck and Hugh resting his head on Alex’s. They stayed like that for a moment; it wasn’t until Alex began to shiver more that Hugh swiftly picked up Alex and carried them back inside the cabin. Both young adults got drenched, and Alex was left a sneezing mess.

“I told you not to go out into the rain, weirdo,” Hugh complained, setting down the more petite person on the toilet. He turned on the water, running them a lukewarm bath.

“But I wanted to dance in the rain,” Alex said, giggling and resting their head on Hugh's back.

“Yeah, and what if you’re sick now? The common cold probably can't kill us, but the flu can. Oh God, what if you got the flu!”

“I’m not gonna get the flu from dancing in the rain!” Alex had slightly pushed themselves away from the green-haired man, a pain in their chest as they looked at their feet with a pout, whispering barely loud enough for Hugh to hear, “I can take care of myself.”

“Hey,” Hugh said sweetly, trying to get Alex to look back at him. He tucks a finger under their chin, their bronze skin soft and wet. He pulled Alex’s face over to look into each other’s eyes. “I didn’t mean it like that. I worry about you sometimes.”

Alex looks into his eyes before they look away, biting their lip and blood rushing to their cheeks as Hugh unintentionally gives them puppy dog eyes. “I know, it's just that I’ve never been able to do that, and I always wanted to. I don’t care if I get sick. It was worth it; I’ll be fine.”

Hughs's gaze softens, and he sighs, moving his hand from Alex’s chin to their cheek, cupping it and bringing their face closer to his. “I just want you safe, babe, that’s all.”

“I know,” Alex smiles at Hugh as he looks up and continues to prepare their bath. That’s why I love you.

How to write smut ?

(@urfriendlywriter | req by @rbsstuff @yourlocalmerchgirl anyone under the appropriate age, please proceed with caution :') hope this helps guys! )

writing smut depends on each person's writing style but i think there's something so gut-wrenchingly beautiful about smut when it's not very graphic and vivid. like., would this turn on a reader more?

"he kissed her, pulling her body closer to him."

or this?

"His lips felt so familiar it hurt her heart. His breathing had become more strained; his muscles tensed. She let herself sink into his embrace as his hands flattened against her spine. He drew her closer."

(Before proceeding further, these are all "in my opinion" what I think would make it better. Apply parts of the advice you like and neglect the aspects you do not agree with it. Once again I'm not saying you have to follow a certain type of style to write smut! Creative freedom exists for a reason!)

One may like either the top or the bottom one better, but it totally depends on your writing to make it work. Neither is bad, but the second example is more flattering, talking literally. (Here is me an year after writing this post, i think, either is amazing, depending on the context. the type of book you're writing, your writing style and preferences!)

express one's sensory feelings, and the readers will automatically know what's happening.

writing, "her walls clenched against him, her breath hitching with his every thrust" is better than writing, "she was about to cum".

(edit: once again, hi, it's me. Either is amazing depending on ur writing style. Everything at the end is about taste.)

here are some vocabulary you can introduce in your writing:

whimpered, whispered, breathed lightly, stuttered, groaned, grunted, yearned, whined, ached, clenched, coaxed, cried out, heaved, hissed

shivering, shuddering, curling up against one's body, squirming, squirting, touching, teasing, taunting, guiding, kneeling, begging, pining, pinching, grinding,

swallowing, panting, sucking in a sharp breath, thrusting, moving gently, gripped, biting, quivering,

nibbling, tugging, pressing, licking, flicking, sucking, panting, gritting, exhaling in short breaths,

wet kisses, brushing soft kisses across their body (yk where), licking, sucking, teasing, tracing, tickling, bucking hips, forcing one on their knees

holding hips, guiding the one on top, moving aimlessly, mindlessly, sounds they make turn insanely beautiful, sinful to listen to

some adverbs to use: desperately, hurriedly, knowingly, teasingly, tauntingly, aimlessly, shamelessly, breathlessly, passionately, delicately, hungrily

he sighed with pleasure

her skin flushed

he shuddered when her body moved against his

he planted kisses along her jawline

her lips turned red, messy, kissed and flushed.

his hands were on his hair, pulling him.

light touches traveled down his back

words were coiled at his throat, coming out as broken sobs, wanting more

he arched his back, his breath quivering

her legs parted, sinking into the other's body, encircling around their waist.

+ mention the position, how they're being moved around---are they face down, kneeling, or standing, or on top or on bottom--it's really helpful to give a clear picture.

+ use lustful talk, slow seduction, teasing touches, erratic breathing, give the readers all while also giving them nothing. make them yearn but DO NOT PROLONG IT.

sources to refer to for more:

gesture that gets me on my knees !!
