The Art of Being Seen - a Nancy Landgraab story
୧‿̩͙ ˖︵ ꕀ⠀ ♱⠀ ꕀ ︵˖ ‿̩͙୨
𝔓𝔞𝔯𝔱 𝔒𝔫𝔢 - 𝔜𝔬𝔲𝔱𝔥
Prev / Next
AN / Transcript under the cut
AN: Nancy's story will consist of 3 parts: Part One- Youth | Part Two - Uni | Part Three - Wife Three pivotal moments in Nancy’s life that shaped the Nancy we know today.
As mentioned in the prologue, this story may contain mature and possibly even uncomfy themes and all posts will have their corresponding trigger warners in the post as well as the tags. Trigger Warnings are: Homophobia / Religious Trauma / Death via Car Accident/ Drugs / Alcohol / Infidelity / Sex & Nudity
Also, I have experienced CAS burnout lately, so I aged down most of the townies to teens lol. I figured this version of Cassandra Goth can be the AU version since I’ve already wrote Bella and Morti Goth into my Briar legacy, which this story is apart of that universe.
Transcript:
Cassie: This is Blair Hall, the senior girls’ dorm, and if you ask me, it’s the best one. We have our own private library. Down there is the rec room; we’re not allowed to have the boys over unless it’s with a chaperone.
Cassie: We’re also the closest to the church, which is great for when we have group sessions before service. You won’t have to rush and scarf down breakfast, plus you can sleep in a little!
Nancy: [sarcastically] Gee, how’d I get so lucky?
Cassie: Sister Agnes always says, It’s not luck—it’s a blessing! Vacancies are hard to come by. My old roomie withdrew; she had a really hard time fitting in with the other girls. They can be... kind of intense.
Dina: Oh, look. Another pretty blonde rich girl. Like those aren’t a dime a dozen here.
Nina: [scoffs] Here we go...
Dina: I am not joking. I better not catch her ass around Don. The last hoochie he was tonguing down was also a skinny, flat-chested, blonde bimbo.
Vanessa: You need to put his weenie in a cage instead of fighting every girl that breathes the same air as him.
Dina: Well, he wouldn’t be tempted if these floozies would stay away from my man!
Vanessa: I guess dyeing your hair blonde isn’t working for you, huh?
Dina: Oh, shut it, VV. You’re just jealous he isn’t into redheads.
Nina: Hmm, I thought he was into redheads though.
Dina: Ugh, as if!
Cassie: You can pretty much decorate your space however you want. Just nothing that’s on the prohibited list. There’s a room check every night before curfew, and-
Nancy: What do you know about that redhead on the balcony?
Cassie: Dina?
Nancy: No, she said her name was Vanessa. I ran into her this morning but she didn’t mention her last name.
Cassie: Oh, yeah! VV. Vanessa Villareal. She’s- eh, one of the mean girls. I try to stay out their way. Probably best you do the same.
Nancy: [softly to herself] Villareal. So, she’s old money, too.
Cassie: Her family built the school. Guess that’s why she feels like she can do whatever she wants- eh, don’t tell anyone I said that!
Cassie: But, erm, you’re welcome to hang out with me and my friends during rec and lunch and stuff. I know how tough it can, being the new girl and all.
Nancy: Yeah? ...thanks- Cassie, was it?
Cassie: You’ll totally like my friends. They’re the coolest people on Earth.
Cassie: Definitely better than some people. You can tell who goes here because of their faith and who was forced here because of their lack of it.
Cassie: Hey guys! This is Nancy, she’s my new roomie.
Bob: No way, they filled Angela’s spot already? Money talks. I’m Bob, or Bobby, and this cool, tall drink of water is Geoffrey. Welcome to Paradise.
Bob: [whispers] Geoffrey! Say something to the pretty girl!
Geoffrey: [voice cracks] W-we’ve um, met already.
Geoffrey: Our dad’s are friends. I just haven’t seen her since we were 10 years old. She looks so... different.
Bob: Oh, I seeee. First love? Your ears are beet red, my man.
Bob: Take a seat, newbie! Are you into D&D, perchance?
Nancy: I have no idea what that is.
Bob: Oh, ho ho! You’re in for a treat, m’lady. I’ll catch you up from the beginning of our campaign.
Vanessa: You look so bored. Want to get out of here, new girl?
Vanessa: Don’t worry, I’ll return you back to your nerds in one piece.
Cassie: [grumbles] Um, hello, we’re sitting right here?
Nancy: Go where, exactly? This place is in the middle of nowhere.
Vanessa: Guess you’ll have to come and find out.
Nancy VO: [I learned then, that I would follow her anywhere]
Dina: There she goes, taking in another stray.
Nancy VO: [All she had to do was take my hand]

Why an Elucien rejected bond storyline would be boring
Years ago Sarah briefly discussed Elain and Lucien's mating bond, she changed her plans from having Nesta as Lucien's mate to Elain since she saw there is a great deal of tension, growth and healing to be found for both of them (together).
In my opinion, we are currently seeing them go through the tension stage where there is this distance and strain on both of them due to recent events. Lucien was sexually assaulted by Ianthe and he is settled in the human lands to support Vassa and Jurian. While Elain has to mourn her human life and also the rejection of Graysen (who used the bond against her) + she also grieved her father. It's pretty reasonable for her to feel that resentment and hostility towards the existence of her mating bond with Lucien.
Part 1: As of ACOSF, does Lucien want Elain or did he move on to Vassa?
He and Lucien did not exchange gifts, though the male had brought a gift for Feyre and one for his mate, who barely thanked him after opening the pearl earrings. Cassian's heart strained at the pain etching deep into Lucien's face as he tried to hide his disappointment and longing. Elain only shrank further into herself, no trace of that newfound boldness to be seen.
I won't make this part long because it's right there in the text. His longing. He still longs for Elain. He still tries. If he is so occupied and in love with Vassa, what is he doing spending Winter Solstice at Velaris to give his mate a gift instead of the woman he apparently "loves".
"But he lives with Vassa!"
The concept of friends sharing a house does not necessarily mean they're all hooking up, unless Lucien's comment on Vassa and Jurian liking to be at each other's throats is to be taken literal (and he's the third wheel in that scenario). I firmly believe Vassa and Jurian would end up together.
It's clear Lucien has eyes for one female only and that's his mate.
Part 2: Lucien doesn't want the bond and he can't stand it
And that's when arguments are formed based on out of context quotes, because context always matters to get the full picture.
But there she was. His mate. She was nothing like Jesminda. Jesminda had been all laughter and mischief, too wild and free to be contained by the country life that she’d been born into. She had teased him, taunted him—seduced him so thoroughly that he hadn’t wanted anything but her. She’d seen him not as a High Lord’s seventh son, but as a male. Had loved him without question, without hesitation. She had chosen him. Elain had been … thrown at him.
Is it not valid for him to feel conflicted about this entire situation because he is still processing the fact that the female who he fell in love with, who had chosen him, saw him, and accepted all of him, who was beheaded because she loved him, is not his mate? but this stranger is? He is trying to make sense of it. He doesn't know Elain yet.
Looking at her now … She was pale, yes. The vacancy still glazing her features. But he couldn’t breathe as she faced him fully. She was the most beautiful female he’d ever seen. Betrayal, queasy and oily, slid through his veins. He’d said the same to Jesminda once. But even as shame washed through him, the words, the sense chanted, Mine. You are mine, and I am yours. Mate.
His feelings and thoughts and instincts are all clashing at once. That is much evident in this entire scene.
"I can't stand to be in the same room as her for more than two minutes. I can't stand to be in this court and have your mate pay for the very clothes on my back."
This is often taken out of context to point out that Lucien doesn't want the mating bond or he can't stand to be around Elain. As a mated male, it's overwhelming for him to be around her because his instincts clash and he has to keep himself grounded around her. He doesn't know yet how to approach her or what she expects of him. It's extremely awkward and he can't stand it because he still didn't find a common ground with her.
Using this quote to imply he doesn't like her or stand her is absolutely false within the narrative.
I think so. It wasn't just about what he thought—it was the ... feeling. I sensed no ill will, no conniving. Only concern for her. And ... sorrow. Longing.
Part 3: Lucien is responsible for her trauma
Hard disagree on this one.
Even canon points out that the one who told the King of Hybern about Feyre's sisters was none other than Ianthe. This is not to defend Tamlin because he gave her an opening to do whatever she liked and did not hold her accountable in ACOWAR.
Now about Lucien, what power did he have over Tamlin's decisions when we have seen that despite being his friend, there is a power imbalance and Tamlin does lash out at Lucien. Lucien is not a character without flaws, but neither Feyre nor Nesta ever blamed Lucien. Even when Elain says to his face that he betrayed them, Lucien immediately says it was a mistake. He doesn't try to absolve his role in it or explain his actions to her, he calls it as it is.
I disagree with the statement that he is responsible for her trauma, Lucien was nothing but a spectator.
"But, but, he yelled at her and announced that they were mates!"
Cassian again stirred—trying to rise, to answer Nesta’s voice as she held my sister and cried her name again and again. But Elain was staring over Nesta’s shoulder. At Lucien—whose face she had finally taken in. Dark brown eyes met one eye of russet and one of metal. Nesta was still weeping, still raging, still inspecting Elain— Lucien’s hands slackened at his sides. His voice broke as he whispered to Elain, “You’re my mate.”
Right. He yelled at her.
Great reading comprehension.
And it's like we forgot when Rhys said the moment the bond snapped between him and Feyre, if he stayed a second longer he would've damned the consequences and took her with him. As soon as he winnowed back to Velaris the first word he said to Mor after 50 years was "she's my mate".
"Well he shouldn't have said it anyways"
Yeah because it's not like Lucien is a Fae male and the mating bond is something that alters the Fae on a biological level. It overrides their instincts.
Part 4: Elain choosing the mating bond + Lucien will be a disservice to her arc, it won't be a choice unless she chooses Azriel
“but it definitely offers a wealth of things to explore with this concept of freewill and what is true love. Is it something that’s destined? Or is it something that you make? Is it both?”
I like that Sarah briefly discussed the topic of a character's agency when it comes to mating bonds because it's something that has long been discussed in the fandom.
However, I disagree that if Elain chose Lucien it's not truly a "choice" because of the mating bond. We have seen with both Feyre and Nesta that they didn't choose to be with Rhys and Cassian simply because of the bond, the mating bond was just the cherry on top—they loved their mates for who they were.
"Elain's entire journey will be about choice"
Isn't she already making a choice? Isnt she choosing not to pursue the bond? Isnt she choosing to ignore the bond? Isn't she choosing to not reject it? Isn't she choosing how she is living her life in Velaris? Isn't she choosing how she spends her time? Isnt she choosing to garden and help other gardens in Velaris? And I can go on.
Neither Elain or Lucien had a choice in being mated to each other, but the notion that the mating bond left her with no agency over her life is partially incorrect because she is making choices. Yes, the mating does in a way take some of Elain's agency and Lucien's agency since it's something that alters them on a soul-level, but Lucien's agency is often removed from this conversation.
Currently, the ball is in Elain's court and not Lucien's. She currently has the choice of accepting or rejecting the bond.
And in my opinion, "choice" is a theme that is incorporated in the journeys of all the characters, it's not exclusive to Elain. I don't think "choice" is the core of her story because I think Elain's journey should focus on breaking out of the docile and gentle sister mold (not that she stops being gentle, but stopping others from infantilizing her), finding where she truly belongs, realizing who her true found family are, discovering the world (a trip to the continent let's go!).
Part 5: Azriel (warning: controversial)
This will be a bit of a hot topic but I'll do my best to keep it short (it really isn't).
This kind of follows Part 4, but I will tell you why Azriel isn't a "great" choice for Elain.
Yes, they had a sweet companionship and a friendship and that is usually a good foundation for a relationship, but to me there wasn't anything solid or deeper then that. We have to *assume* they had moments off-page, but we also know that they're not spending time together and Azriel confirmed this. So am I going to wait for chapters of flashbacks after flashbacks to see that build up from the past?
Before anyone jumps the gun, I am a hardcore Gwynriel and a hardcore Azriel fan and I fully understand and accept that Azriel is a flawed character who carries so much self-loath. I dont like him with Elain because I believe it's an unhealthy dynamic compared to how lighter and more open he is around Gwyn and this is not something against Elain, it's more tied to how Azriel perceives the logic of 3 sisters + 3 brothers. Dynamics matter and makes a difference between couples because e.g., Chaol and Yrene worked better than Chaol and Celaena. Mismatched pairings exist but it doesn't mean the characters involved wouldn't work out with others.
So how is the male that centered himself in his entire conversation with Rhys instead of prioritizing what Elain wants, is the ultimate choice?
He argued that the Cauldron was wrong because he didn't get the "third" sister while his brothers got her other sisters, and at this point we know Elain is not interested in a mating bond. If she is attracted to Azriel, it has nothing to do with wanting a bond with him because we know how she feels about it but it's Azriel who wants to center the mating bond in it.
So does that mean the relationship from Azriel's perspective wouldn't be complete without a mating bond? Then why is he arguing about this? Wouldn't it be more romantic for him to say I don't care if she is mated or not, I want her for her—but that's not the case here.
Notice that it's Azriel having these discussions about mating bonds and not Lucien who is her mate. and I promise you if it was Lucine having this exact discussion with Rhys, the entire fandom would drag him to no end.
Back to Azriel, so he also says that he hadn't gotten that far with his planning certainly not beyond the fantasies he pleasured himself to + and said Lucien is not good enough for her and she has not interest in him anyways. Again, he is speaking for Elain when we know one of the big problems surrounding Elain is how others speak for her and assume what she needs. If she doesn't want the mating bond, that's her speech and not Azriel's. I still don't get how people were fine with him speaking for her and I'm not even the biggest Elain fan.
Last but not least, he also was against her scrying despite publicly declaring that no one decides what she can or cannot do and wants to help. Is this truly the "ultimate choice" for Elain? But Lucien's only crime is being mated to her?
Part 6: finally, why Elain and Lucien rejecting the mating bond would be bad storytelling.
So we know that a bond can be rejected, only weakened but it will always exist.
"Elain would have our full protection if she rejects the bond. But it will still be a bond, however weakened, that will trail her for the rest of her existence."
"But he'd know if Nesta were dead. In his heart, his soul, he'd sense it. Would feel it. A mate always did. Even if she'd rejected that bond."
1. There isn't enough time to explore a rejection:
It seems there isn't a ritual or a tradition we are told of about a mating bond rejection, if the female doesn't want it then that's that but it does have a worse impact on males.
As of ACOSF, it's evident Lucien still longs for Elain even if they are distant or occasionally see each other. We know Elain resents the bond but we still don't have her POV to really know what she thinks of Lucien.
What do we get out of a rejected bond with Elain and Lucien? That she just doesn't want him and can say "no"? That she finally has a choice? Even though she is making choices as of the current canon to not explore the mating bond or do anything? I gave examples in Part 4.
And then what? Lucien moved on to Vassa or another female in the next book? That despite a rejection being devastating he's all cool and moved on within months.
No stakes. No challenges. No reprecussions. No consequences. Nothing interesting.
"But it's proof that not every mated pairing works" that would be interesting if we had enough time to discover that but not with two characters that barely spoke to each other and readers have no clue to what kind of dynamic they have.
A rejected mating bond would not be a good story to tell because there wasn't much there to begin with. It's underwhelming.
"I don't want it" "okay cool see you around" < and that's it? Groundbreaking.
"It's a big factor to play into a forbidden romance because Rhys is the obstacle here" easily resolved with one word from Elain and Rhys is removed.
I think Elain and Lucien's mating bond would still be interesting to read about because we never had a mated pairing that knew they were mates but weren't in love yet.
It's giving an arranged marriage trope and the best part about arranged marriage is when the spouses get to know to each other better, they fall harder—I think the tension between Eain and Lucien would be quite delicious and fun to read about as they tip toe around each other and the mating bond.
2. Parallel journeys:
I like what Mor said in ACOFAS and it makes complete sense since it reaffirms that both Elain and Lucien are going on parallel journeys:
Mor drank deeply from her glass. "Stay out of She's not ready, and neither is he, no matter how many presents he brings."
I lifted a brow. "Snoop."
Mor leaned back against the steps, utterly un-repentant. "Let him live with his Band of Exiles. Let him deal with Tamlin in his own way. Let him figure out where he wants to be. Who he wants to be. The same goes with her."
3. Promised HEAs:
SJM already stated that each book going forward will follow different pairings and by the end of their book they'll get their HEA. That's the standard traditional romance formula.
A mate rejection, especially in standalone books, are miserable. Not enough time is given to navigate through it or move on and it also sets an unrealistic and cheap outcome that the other mate could easily move on from the soul-level rejection. No, that doesn't entitle a mate to force their other mate to accept the bond because it would affect them personally, it's just something I think that needs more than a book to discover through the POVs of the characters involved.
This is why a mate rejection is a very rare and an unpopular trope in fiction. There was a temporary mate rejection in the Zodiac Academy series that scarred the ZA fandom because it's depressing.
You have Fated Mates authors like Kresley Cole who published around 21 books with each book including the Fate Mate trope. That's one of ACOTAR's trademark.
Till this day, every SJM character that found out about the mating bond ended up with their mate one way or another. It's an SJM trademark at this point.
4. Then which rejected bond would Sarah explore?
In my opinion, the true rejected bond story that would be extremely emotional, tragic and powerful is the story of Helion and Lady of Autumn.
What they had is the definition of a forbidden romance. Lady of Autumn was married to a High Lord from her Court and Helion wasn't even a High Lord of the Day Court then.
The stakes are extremely high they could've triggered a war between Day Court and Autumn Court. Even though a mating bond triumphs marriage, Lady of Autumn still has children with Beron. She chose her children over her mate in the end. She had to reject the bond because everything stood against them.
While this is currently theoretical but it's strongly pointed at in canon that they're mates.
This makes for a better story of a Rejected Mating Bond because enough time passed to see what were the repercussions, the consequences of their actions and how they both suffered. Do they find their way back to each other in the end or does one of them for whatever reason loses their life? Did Helion have to seek other people to distract him from not being with his mate and her not choosing him? Did their bond weaken?
Conclusion:
I didn't expect this to be long but I hope you enjoyed reading this "essay". The rejected mates storyline is controversial and so many readers feel strongly about it. Everything here reflects my own thoughts and why I think a Rejected Mating bond wouldn't be an interesting one to discover with Elain and Lucien.
I deserve another cup of coffee and on my way to get me one haha. I apologize for any typos in advance.

Chin Up, Brother
AN: My first epic fic & I couldn’t be happier! These boys deserve to goof off & have fun, they’re so damn silly at their core. All Polites wants to do is cheer up their captain & he pays the ultimate price. Odysseus is such a teasy bastard, I can’t get over it
Polites can't stand seeing a sour face, especially when concerning his friends. Some days are better than others, with most of the crew in high spirits, but as time drags on, it gets harder and harder to make his friends smile.
Ever since returning from their successful ambush attack, Odysseus hadn't been himself. There was a vacancy behind his eyes; something tense in his stride. Polites couldn't stand seeing him like this.
Of course, he knew that their captain needed time to process... well, everything. But he was practically a walking zombie, going through the motions of life as his mind lingered elsewhere. If he were being honest, Polites missed the old Odysseus: the one who constantly teased and joked with his men, who checked in when he noticed they were upset. But being a captain, there was an invisible line the others didn't dare cross, which meant that his own needs went ignored.
"I don't know Eurylochus, he just seems so sad," he lamented, staring at their friend from afar. He felt a gentle hand rest on his shoulder.
"We all are. He just... has more on his plate than the rest of us," he tried to reason. Polites looked up at him with wide, soft brown eyes.
"Well then, maybe we should help him eat it!" he declared. Eurylochus scoffed and furrowed his brows in confusion, lips tugging upwards into an amused grin.
"Come again?"
Polites rolled his eyes and giggled, shoving his shoulder playfully. "Shut up, you know what I'm trying to say."
Eurylochus threw an arm around his shoulders, guiding him away from their sullen captain. "Just give him some time Polites. He'll be back to himself in no time," he reassured. Polites looked over his shoulder with a frown, dipping out from under his arm and stood blocking his path. Eurylochus looked shocked, but more than that, he looked impressed.
"But we're his friends! We should at least try to cheer him up!" he insisted. Eurylochus heaved a sigh.
"Polites, you need to remember he's our captain first, and our friend second. Let him have his space."
"I think he's had enough space!" he argued, causing his friend to roll his eyes. "You know he'd do the same for us," he said, his tone softer.
"It's his job-"
"Well then, it's our job as his friends to return the favor!" he said, returning to his chipper self. Eurylochus spared a glance at their captain manning the wheel, Polites following his gaze.
Odysseus had been watching them from where he stood, wondering what they were talking about. He tensed when he noticed them looking his way, tightening his grip on the steering wheel. Polites smiled at him and waved. Odysseus didn't wave back.
Eurylochus sighed, knowing he had a point. "What did you have in mind?"
Polites hummed in thought, tapping his chin as he searched his brain for ideas. A bright smile stretched across his face as he turned to face him. "He's ticklish, right?" he asked, mischief beginning to overshadow his innocence.
Eurylochus immediately shook his head, eyes flying wide open. "No!"
Polites smirked and arched a brow. "Um, I'm pretty sure everyone's ticklish somewhere," he said, as if it were obvious. Eurylochus shook his head once more, grabbing him by the shoulder.
"I mean no, he'll kill you for even trying," he tried to warn, but Polites literally laughed him off.
"You know, you really need to learn to relax. Heh, maybe I should tickle you," he teased, reaching out to poke his side. Eurylochus jerked away with a yelp, grabbing onto his wrist after the fact. "Oh? Did I strike a nerve?" he taunted, poking him with his free hand. He choked back a laugh as he caught his other hand, staring him down with a warning look.
"Polites... don't. I'm trying to save you."
He snorted in amusement, dropping his hands to the side. Eurylochus let him go. "Save me from what? Our big, scary captain?" he joked, snickering at the mere thought. Odysseus wouldn't hurt a hair on his head! What was Eurylochus so worried about? He really needed to learn how to relax.
"Fine. It'll be your funeral."
"Oh lighten up Eurylochus!" he said as he headed towards the stairs, pausing to turn and point at him. "Or you'll be next," he winked before breaking off into giggles and rushing up the steps.
He watched him leave, fondly shaking his head. "Yeah, wouldn't count on it," he mumbled to himself, deciding he might as well get a good seat for the show that was surely about to start.
Polites skipped up the last few steps, walking with a bounce in his step that wasn't necessarily out of character, but it did catch Odysseus's attention.
"Hey Captain! How's she handling?" he asked, walking up from behind and clapping a hand on his shoulder. Odysseus studied him from the corner of his eye, growing skeptical.
"Um, fine.”
"Good, good," he nodded, trying to buy himself some time. "Looks like clear skies ahead," he continued with the idle small talk.
Odysseus sighed and turned to look at him, the deep circles under his eyes prominent. "What do you want, Polites?" he asked. He sounded annoyed and tired. Polites frowned. He hesitated before resting a hand on his shoulder, but even the soft touch seemed to startle him. He'd have to tread carefully.
"I want to know how you're holding up," he said earnestly. Odysseus shied away from his gaze, turning back to the open ocean that lay ahead.
"I'm fine," he said, his clenched jaw making his words sound harsh. His tone made Polites flinch back, holding his hands up in a placating motion. Odysseus regretted it almost instantly.
"Is that all you know how to say? Fine?" he asked, a playful, sheepish grin toying at the corner of his mouth. Odysseus felt himself fighting off a smile of his own at his friend's antics.
"Oh I could say a lot more. I'm just sparing you," he snarked.
"You don't have to. I'm always here if you need to talk," he insisted.
"Okay Polites," he huffed, bending his knees slightly and leaning back on the first word to emphasize his point, and yeah, Polites didn't appreciate the level of sass. Any hesitation he had about what he was about to do, Odysseus squashed it with that remark.
Eurylochus had made his way to the upper deck and sat down, untangling a mass of rope and knots to appear at least somewhat busy. His eyes were glued to the pair, wondering just how this would play out.
"Sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," he teased, crossing his arms. He noticed the way Odysseus bit back a smile.
"Careful. Did you forget who you're talking to?" he asked pointedly, arching a brow. Polites was practically beaming.
"Not at all, Captain," he spoke in his usual friendly manner, but with an uncharacteristic amount of sarcasm towards the end. Odysseus scoffed, mouth hanging open at the sheer audacity.
Polites glanced at Eurylochus and shot him a wink before gasping loudly, pointing in front of Odysseus and off to the side. "Wow, a pod of whales!"
Some men on the lower deck must've heard him, because a few rushed over to the rail to catch a glimpse. And just as he predicted, Odysseus turned to look. Now or never.
"Ticka ticka ticka ticka ticka!" he cried, scribbling his fingers over his sides and tweaking his ribs. Odysseus honest to the Gods shrieked before a few deep belly laughs escaped. He tucked his arms close and doubled over, jerking the wheel to a hard right before letting go, and causing everyone to stumble and slide across the deck.
"Polites!" he scolded as said man was lost to a fit of bright, bubbly laughter. Odysseus scrambled to grab the wheel and right the ship, blushing profusely while simultaneously glaring daggers at his supposed "friend." Meanwhile the men below were yelling their own complaints, talking over each other and grumbling.
Polites wiped away a tear of mirth, patting him on the back before pulling him into a one armed hug. And okay, he couldn't help but shove his hand under his arm and poke his belly with the other. Odysseus snorted and tensed up, deep, rumbly giggles slipping past his clenched teeth before Polites finally relented.
"Ah, it's good to hear you laugh again Captain. No hard feelings," he said, going as far as to ruffle his hair before turning to leave.
"And just where do you think you're going?" The dark, even tone made Polites stop dead in his tracks.
A cold chill ran down his spine and he turned to face him. He caught sight of a smug, not very sympathetic Eurylochus. To make matters worse, he returned his wink from earlier.
"U-um, back to work?" he said weakly. Odysseus shook his head and let out a downright sinister chuckle. Before this moment, he didn't even know a laugh could be scary.
"After that? I don't think so." He took a step forward, and Polites took three steps back.
"I-I was just trying to cheer you up!" he pleaded, eyes wide.
"Really? Wow, I never would've guessed that," he mocked, letting his voice start to take on a teasing edge. "But how about I repay the favor?" he asked, voice dropping lower as he let the smirk he'd been holding back overtake his features.
"No thanks!" he was quick to say, foot already on the first step down.
"No, really. I insist."
Polites opened his mouth, but he was at a loss for words.
"Eurylochus?"
Said man perked up at the sound of his name, and he suddenly felt nervous hearing it thrown out amidst the altercation. "Yes sir?"
"Take the wheel."
He smirked to himself and nodded dutifully as he stood.
"Yes sir."
Polites wasted no time, rushing down the stairs as fast as he could. Unfortunately, mistakes were made and he ended up in a crumbled heap at the bottom. Odysseus peered down from the railing that overlooked the deck. "You okay down there?"
Polites gave a weak thumbs up.
The sound of fast, heavy footsteps above him kicked him into high gear and he scrambled to his feet. Odysseus took the stairs two at a time, vaulting over the rail and jumping on the deck once he was close enough. Polites was weaving through the thin crowd, desperately trying to make it to the crows nest. Maybe if he climbed up there, he could just stay there until Odysseus forgot all about it.
And then his face hit the deck for a second time.
He immediately began pleading his case as Odysseus rolled him onto his back. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, it'll never happen again!" He thrashed and squirmed trying to escape, but Odysseus had him thoroughly trapped. "Please, I'm sorry! Don't kill me!"
Odysseus threw his head back with a hearty laugh. "Oh Polites, you're so funny. A little tickling never killed anyone," he taunted, leaning in with a feral grin. Polites squeezed his eyes shut, biting his lip to dam the giggles that were already making an appearance.
"N-not yet!" he whined, drawing another low chuckle from the captain.
"Oh, you plan on being the first?" he taunted, tongue peaking out between his teeth as he grinned down at him. Then, as if to rub it in further, he laughed at his own joke and began cracking his knuckles. Polites giggled nervously, legs scrambling for purchase on the deck as he tried to get away.
"Nohoho! Let me gohoho! I'm sohohorry!"
"Laughing already? Maybe you should've thought this through," he said, mock sympathy dripping from his voice.
"Odysseus, plehehease! Dohon't!" Polites tried to plead his case one last time. The captain smirked, cocking his head at his friend.
"Don't what, Polites?" he asked, feigning cluelessness. Or was he going for innocence? It was kind of hard to tell.
Now, Odysseus was known for being sly and tricky. From his place at the wheel, Eurylochus saw the trap for what it was. Polites on the other hand, wasn't in a place to scrutinize his friend's intent. He answered almost immediately, "Tickle me!"
In all honesty, Odysseus wasn't sure he'd fall for it or not. He couldn't be happier.
Polites yelped and flinched when Odysseus fell forward in a fit of laughter, resting his forehead on Polites's chest. His shoulders shook with the force of his laughter before he sat up straight. Polites opened his mouth to speak, but froze when he saw the downright predatory look Odysseus was giving him.
"Polites, Polites, Polites..." he shook his head and patted his cheek each time he addressed him. Said man whined, twisting his head away from the patronizing hand.
"W-why're you saying it like that?" he asked nervously. Odysseus stared at him in awe.
"You don't even realize what you just said, do you?" Realization washed over Polites, his eyes going wide. Odysseus's smirk only grew as he watched it dawn on his friend.
"No wait, that's not what I meant! I was answering your question!"
"You really ought to use your words more carefully," he warned before digging in. He latched onto his hips, drilling circles with his thumbs. Polites immediately burst into loud, bubbly laughter as he slapped at his hands.
"Y-you trihihicked mehehe!" he cried, as if that fact would make him stop.
"Yeah, and it was easy. Seriously, you walked right into that one buddy," he taunted, slipping his hands under his shirt to scribble over his bare stomach. Polites snorted, trying to roll on his side. His laughter grew deeper and more full as one of his worst spots was targeted.
"NOHOHO! Cahahaptain, not there! Not thehehehere! Plehease!" he begged, thrashing as much as he could, though mostly he was fighting to curl into the tightest ball possible to protect his sensitive tummy. Odysseus slowed his movements, drumming his fingers impatiently to keep him giggling, broken up by the occasional hiccup.
"Alright tough guy, then where?"
Polites managed to grab his hands by interlocking their fingers and shoved them back as he caught his breath. "W-whahat?"
"You said not there... so, where should I tickle instead?" he asked, the happiest, smuggest grin gracing his lips. Oh Polites hated him right now.
"Nowhere!"
"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't accept that answer."
"Why ahare you being soho mean?" he whined, trying to work his way free. Odysseus decided to let him think he had a chance.
"You made me almost capsize the ship!" Okay, maybe that was an over exaggeration, but he could have made them capsize. And that would've been a tough one to explain to the rest of the fleet.
Polites rolled his eyes, mumbling under his breath, "You're the one who jerked the wheel..." Apparently he didn't mutter quiet enough.
Odysseus scoffed, mouth hanging open. "Excuse me?" Polites froze, mouth snapping shut. "Care to repeat that?" He shook his head frantically. "No, say it again. I don't think I heard you correctly," he said, slipping out of his grip with ease and poking all over his stomach.
"Plehehease! This ihisn't fahair!" he giggled, propping himself up weakly on his elbows, trying to crawl out from where he was pinned.
"No, what's not fair is tickling me in front of everyone, while I'm busy doing a very important task, no less" he insisted, trying to come off as stern, but he was smiling far too wide.
"It wahas just five seconds, Captain," Polites chuckled, arching a brow playfully. He just didn't know when to quit, did he?
"Oh yeah? Then I guess you deserve five minutes."
"WHAT?"
"Yeah, you can handle it. Five minutes is nothing," Odysseus shrugged casually, but the look in his eyes was that of a pure feral mischief.
Polites looked at him in utter shock. "No, five minutes is five minutes!"
"Always so eloquent," he taunted, wiggling a finger between his ribs. Polites barked out a laugh, twisting away. Of course, he only jerked into the other hand, delivering a nibbling pinch to his lower ribs. "Now shut up and laugh."
"That's contradictoRYYYYY!" Polites broke off into a shriek that melted into shrill giggles.
"You never answered my question by the way," he teased, playing his ribs like a piano. Polites snorted, both hands flying up to cover his face, but the red hue tinging his cheeks was visible in between his fingers.
"Ohoho bite mehehe!" he snarked, throwing his head back in wild laughter. The sound was full and bright, drawing out a good handful of soldiers to enjoy the rare bout of mischief on display.
"Well if you insist..." he smirked down at him as he began slowly rolling up his shirt. Polites shook his head, hands fighting to tug his shirt back down.
"NO! O-Odysseus, don't you dare!" he threatened weakly before he was shoved back down to the deck.
"Why? What're you gonna do about it?" he asked, tilting his head to the side like a curious puppy, or perhaps, more like a hungry wolf.
"I'll... Never talk to you again!" Even Polites knew that was a lie, and Odysseus didn't mind calling him out on it.
"Ha! You couldn't even last a day," he proclaimed, making Polites huff with a pout. "Oh don't give me that look, you know it's true," Odysseus rolled his eyes, reaching down to claw his stomach.
Polites gave up on holding his shirt down in favor of fending off the attacking hands. Odysseus took his chance and tugged the shirt up, pausing as an idea came to him, and he pulled the shirt over his friend's head with an evil little snicker.
"HEHEY!" he yelled as his vision was replaced with white fabric. Odysseus shrugged, despite knowing he couldn't really see him.
"What? It was getting in the way," he said as he lowered his head towards his bare stomach.
"It was NOHOHOT! BY THEHE GOHOHODS, STOHOHOP!" Polites shrieked through hysterics, completely taken off guard now that he couldn't see what Odysseus was doing.
He paused, sitting up to push his hair away from his face. "What? You said to bite you," he reminded cheekily.
"You're thehe worst!" Polites whined, reaching up to yank the shirt off of his head, only for Odysseus to playfully smack him away.
"Well that's not very nice! I never would've thought you of all people would forget your manners," he teased before diving back in to nibble his sides, sending him into another bout of hysterics. Odysseus shook his head and growled into the skin, making loud fake chewing sounds. Polites was almost grateful for his shirt hiding his face; at least then no one could see how much he was blushing.
In fact, he couldn't remember a time he felt more embarrassed. Maybe if he thought hard about it he could, but there was no chance of that happening any time soon. Odysseus had a perfect knack for doing or saying the most flustering thing at any given moment, and it seemed like he was intent on putting him through the wringer.
Polites was pulled from his thoughts when a shriek ripped itself from his throat as a raspberry was blown in the middle of his belly.
"Nonono Cahahaptahain DOHOHON'T!" he squealed before breaking off in shrill laughter, peppered with snorts. His legs scrambled and kicked the deck from where he was pinned, hands flying about uselessly. Odysseus popped back up to let him catch his breath.
"You're way more ticklish than me! I can't believe you honestly thought you could get away with that," he taunted, letting his fingers crawl up his sides towards his ribs. He leaned in to growl in his ear, "Just how did that work out for you?" He reached up to tug his shirt back down. What good was tickling him if he couldn't see the smile plastered on his adorable face?
"Hohohorrible! Ca-Cahahaptain plehehease! Let me gohoho I'm sohohohorryyyy!" Polites begged through helpless giggles that Odysseus chuckled along with.
"See, you say that, but you don't sound all that sorry," he teased, barely biting back his smirk.
"Ihihi aham!" he insisted. Odysseus studied him with a sly grin.
"Alright then... prove it," he ordered. Polites furrowed his brows as he sucked in air between bouts of giggles. He stared up at the captain skeptically.
"... How?" he questioned, arching a brow. His glasses were askew in the opposite direction, making for a rather funny expression. Odysseus snorted, reaching out to fix his glasses for him. "Oh, thank you," he muttered, adjusting them slightly, sitting them in a more comfortable position than Odysseus had.
"It's easy, really, all you gotta do is keepyourarmsup," he finished his sentence in a jumbled rush, masking it with a fake cough. But Polites heard him loud and clear, clutching his arms to his chest.
"Nohoho wahay, are you crahazy?" he asked incredulously.
"No, I'm the captain," he answered smugly. Polites stared at him, rather unamused by the joke it would seem. Odysseus couldn't have that, so he latched onto his knees.
"SHIT SHIT SHIHIHIT! Nohohot thehehere!" Polites fell back on the deck, overwhelmed by another fit of laughter. Odysseus relentlessly squeezed his kneecaps, no matter where they tried to kick to escape his grasp. Polites snorted, hiding his face behind his hands. He had no choice but to comply. "Ohohokahay I'll dohoho ihit!"
Odysseus pulled his hands away with a smirk. "There, that wasn't so hard, was it?" he asked innocently. Polites threw his head back with a giggly whine. He flinched with a sharp yelp when Odysseus tapped his elbows.
"C'mon, put 'em up," he prompted, making the task practically impossible by wiggling his fingers threateningly.
A small group of spectators stood off to the side, seemingly enjoying the show. Elpenor couldn’t help but throw in his two cents, cupping his hands around his mouth, "Remember, we need him alive, Sir!"
Odysseus let out a hearty laugh, patting his victim on the chest. "He's still breathing!"
"Barely!" Polites squeaked out, drawing out more laughter from their audience. His pink cheeks turned a shade darker.
"Pft, and you say I'm dramatic. This'll be the last thing, I swear," Odysseus said, hiding crossed fingers behind his back. Polites looked at him skeptically before sighing in defeat.
"Promise?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Promise?" he repeated himself, trying to sound more stern. Odysseus rolled his eyes.
"Yes, fine, I promise," he lied.
Polites took a deep breath and squeezed his eyes shut. He raised his arms up about halfway before he froze, shaking his head as nervous giggles spilled out. Odysseus shrugged.
"Eh, good enough for me," he declared before digging his hands in the free space under his arms. Polites squealed and his arms came crashing down immediately. Odysseus couldn't help but laugh along as Polites snorted through his laughter. His mouth hung open in a wide smile, dimples shining on his rosy cheeks.
After a few seconds he let up on his friend, but he didn't yet release him. Polites looked up at him, squirming more the longer he remained trapped.
"H-hey, aren't you gonna let me up?"
Odysseus offered a not so sympathetic look. "About that... I was crossing my fingers." Polites gasped at the betrayal.
"But you promised!"
"And this'll be the last last thing. Promise for real this time," Odysseus said, holding his hand out to shake. Polites looked at his hand, then up to meet his gaze as he scoffed.
"I dohon't trust you!"
"You trust me with your life," Odysseus taunted in a matter of fact tone, sly smirk playing at his lips. Polites bit the inside of his cheek to try and hide his amusement.
"That's different," Polites reasoned.
"Mmm, is it though?" he asked, cocking his head. Polites glared up at him, but the blush and smile combo he sported lessened the blow. Odysseus took the chance to scoop up one of his hands, giving it a firm shake to seal the deal before Polites wretched free from his grasp with a half amused huff.
"There, now you have my word."
"A lotta good that's worth," Polites sassed, crossing his arms. Odysseus stared at him in shock.
"Oh I'm sorry, do you want me to keep going?" he growled in a low, threatening tone, reaching down to squeeze his hips unexpectedly. Polites screeched and arched his back, hands flying down to protect himself.
"NOHOHO I'M SOHOHORRY PLEHEHEASE!"
Odysseus pulled back with a proud grin, "Yeah, that's what I thought. And just for that..." he trailed off, adjusting their position slightly to make sure Polites was securely pinned.
He giggled nervously, body already tensing up. "Ohohodysseus, plehease! Just let me gohoho!" he whined.
"After that remark? I don't think so."
Odysseus grabbed his head, gently holding it to the side, and Polites knew what was coming.
"Nohoho, please not thahahat! Cahahaptain, please, I'm sorrYYYYY!" his begging fell on deaf ears, morphing into a squeal as Odysseus bent down to blow a raspberry on the sweet spot just below his ear. Bubbly giggles filled the salty sea air as Polites fought for his life, flopping around on the deck in desperate search for any leverage he could use for escape. Odysseus took a deep breath, gently turning his head so he could get the other side.
Another giggly scream burst free from his lungs, hands shoving weakly at his shoulders. Polites wasn't sure how he could have so much air in his lungs, the gods had to be playing some cruel joke on him. And then, just like that it was over. Odysseus rolled off of him, leaving him to cope with a residual laughing fit, furiously rubbing away the lingering feelings on his neck.
Odysseus drummed a quick beat on Polites's chest, chuckling when he was playfully smacked away.
"You're an asshole," Polites said, not even bothering to try and hide the wide grin overtaking his features. “And you need to shave.” Odysseus chuckled, scratching his stubble nonchalantly.
"Sorry bud, I had to make an example outta you," he shrugged with a cheeky click of his tongue. He stood up and brushed himself off, offering a hand to Polites. He hesitantly accepted it, allowing himself to be pulled to his feet. His legs felt just a tad shaky, but he quickly steadied himself. The embarrassment, however, was much harder to hide.
Odysseus tried to reach up to ruffle his hair, but Polites quickly danced out of reach with a giggle. "Stahay away from me!" he yelled, pointing an accusing finger at him.
Odysseus just stood there, a smug, shit eating grin on his face as he watch Polites go running back to Eurylochus.
A soft hoot to his left startled him, and he turned to see an owl perched nearby, watching him with its head tilted at a perfect 90° angle.
Now it was his turn to blush it seemed, as the owl hooted again, twisting its head all the way around. It stared up at him with large, curious eyes.
"Oh shut up, I was teaching him a lesson."
But Athena knew better.

“Well, it’s no royal Naboo palace, but it’ll do.” You observed the outside of the dingy inn as you slipped your hood off your head.
It was tucked away in a dark, grimy corner of a seedy town you were dispatched to by Cid.
A neon “No Vacancy” sign flickered on and off, half the letters dark. The road leading up to it was completely empty except for you and Clone Force 99, who were illuminated by the fading neon lights.
You raised an eyebrow at Hunter, who gave a small shrug as you checked the map on your datapad, making sure this was the right place.
“I’d rather stay on The Marauder…or take my chances on the streets.” Echo huffed, a look of disdain on his face as he walked up beside Hunter, both clad in civilian clothes, as were the rest of you.
“Aww, it can’t be that bad! At least we get our own rooms! I can’t remember the last time that happened, if ever!”
Wrecker grasped Tech’s shoulder, giving it a hearty shake in elation as Tech tried to hold on to his goggles, his body being heaved back and forth.
Wrecker was overjoyed at the thought of a real bed and space to spread out, as was Omega.
“I’ve never had an entire room to myself before!” She buzzed with excitement, not caring about the rundown appearance of the inn.
“It is the most logical situation, if we are to gather any intel for Cid.” Tech gave a quick glare to Wrecker, who had released his poor shoulder. He adjusted his goggles. “If we act as travelers we won’t attract as much attention, even if the state of this lodging is…less than desirable. But I will be honest in stating it will be nice to have a sleep uninterrupted by snoring.”
Tech gestured at Wrecker, his goggles reflecting the flashing neon sign of the lodge as he looked down at his datapad.
“Hey, I don’t snore that loud!” Wrecker pouts, crossing his arms. “That’s easy for you to say. You’re not the one hearing it.” Echo scoffed, rolling his eyes.
“Alright boys, enough.” Hunter pinched the bridge of his nose. “It’s only for a few nights, and we can all agree that even though this place isn’t…grand by any means, it’s better than nothing. The faster we can find this shipment location, the faster we can get off this planet.” Hunter felt exposed without his armor, and didn’t want to be here any longer than anyone else.
You were all tired from the long journey here. You were stuck on The Marauder for a few days too long, and everyone was on a slight edge, ready for real rest.
You had been sent to this backwater Outer Rim planet by Cid, tasked with gathering intel on the whereabouts of a high-value smuggled shipment. According to her, the parcel was worth enough credits to buy ten Marauders, and then some.
“This is a delicate situation, bandana, and your goon squad attracts a lot of attention. I need you to blend in, and not cause too much trouble, you understand?” Cid said as she gave Hunter an irritated look from behind her desk.
“We’ll try our best.” Hunter frowned, knowing this mission wasn’t going to be as easy as it seemed. It never was.
Cid rolled her eyes. “Well, I know subtlety isn’t your strong suit so I booked you a place to stay, to stake out and listen for any leads. Your ship might cause a stir, especially if you show up in armor, so you’ll be staying here, acting as civilians while you find the location of the shipment.” She slid over a holodisc with coordinates to a small town inn, where you’d be staying. “Try not to mess this one up, okay, broody? If they get a whiff of someone poking their nose around, they will move it and it might be gone for good. There’s a lot of credits at stake here. You best blend in, for your own sake.”
You remembered Hunter trying to argue with Cid, saying being in one place too long without armor was dangerous. But Cid promised there wouldn’t be trouble if you kept your heads down.
“I don’t know about you, but a real shower is enough for me. I guess we finally have something to thank Cid for.” You quipped, trying to stay positive.
The corners of Hunter’s lips formed a tiny smirk at your comment.
“Don't get too excited, even The Marauder has hot water. Most of the time. Can’t guarantee anything at this place.” You gave him a playful look, smirking back.
Hunter dug into one of his pockets, pulling out small cards that allowed you to access your rooms. “Alright, we’ll meet up at the rendezvous spot early tomorrow. We have a lot of ground to cover.” You looked at your access card, a small number indicating your room location.
Looking at the map of the inn, your room was right next to Hunter’s, the rest of the boys and Omega’s room spread throughout the lodging.
You bid goodnight to everyone as they retreated to their rooms, leaving you and Hunter walking to your own. “Do you think this shipment even exists?” You asked, also getting tired of the wild womp rat chases Cid sent you on.
Hunter let out a sigh. “I don’t know. The intel is limited, and I sense Cid isn’t telling us everything. As usual.” You gave him a soft look, knowing look. Hunter was growing tired of working for Cid, and carries a lot of stress over protecting his team and Omega. His dedication to his family was something you admired about him, among many other things.
“At least she coughed up some accommodation this time around.” You said as Hunter gave a grunt, his eyes flicking to yours. “Yeah…we’ll see if the cards even unlock our rooms. If we even have them.” You had reached your individual doors, stopping in front of Hunter’s, yours only a few feet down the hall from his.
You smiled, the words coming out of your mouth before you could stop yourself. “Well if your access card doesn’t work, you can always come to my room.” Hunter’s eyes locked on yours as you felt heat blaze up to your cheeks at the realization of what you just said. “Err…I uh… I could stay with Omega and you could take my room is what I meant!” You stuttered, trying to salvage your previous statement.
You cursed yourself internally, knowing Hunter probably sensed your heartbeat increasing. You’ve noticed stumbling your words more often around him. Any time he looked your way, all thoughts exited your head and you could only focus on his deep brown eyes, strong jaw, wide shoulders…
The sound of a door unlocking brought you back to the moment. “Well, it seems like my card works. I guess Cid didn’t stiff us. I’ll have to take you up on that offer another time.” You sucked in your breath, trying to figure out what he meant as he slowly opened his door, but didn’t immediately walk in.
“If you need anything, you know where I am.” Hunter hesitated for a moment, looking at you. What you didn’t know was him having the same thoughts as you, admiring your beauty, secretly wanting to join you in your room, hoping what you claimed was a mistake was actually the truth slipping out.
But he didn’t want to overstep and couldn’t bring himself to say anything.
“Yes…uh…goodnight, Hunter.” He nodded, and stepped into his room before he said something he might end up regretting.
You let out a breath you didn’t realize you were holding as you cursed at yourself internally again, accessing your own room. It was small, dinky, and run down, but it was something. The first thing you tested was the shower, and as luck would have it, the water was hot. It was enough to ignore the suspicious stains on the carpet and peeling wallpaper.
You took a long shower, not knowing when you’d have this type of accommodation again, and trying not to think of Hunter, the embarrassment of what you said, but it was getting more difficult.
After your shower you nestled down into the bed, finally able to relax the best you could in these circumstances.
You closed your eyes, trying to focus on the quiet and relish having a room to yourself, finally having a little private time.
Your mind began to wander back to Hunter, as it always did, as you sank into the creaking bed.
You had been with 99 for a while now, acting as an extra hand on missions, also trying to stay afloat by doing odd jobs for Cid. You ran with a pirate gang for a while, dabbled in bounty work, and now you were here. You got along well with the boys and Omega, and finally felt like you had something good, finally belonged.
As you worked alongside Hunter, you began yearning for his gaze, or his rare, surprisingly warm smile. What started off as a small crush has grown into something more and you knew you were falling for him. You tried to deny it, not wanting these feelings to take hold. But you were giving in to him more and more by the day, giving in to his smoky voice, his strength, his loyalty, his everything.
Did he feel the same way? You weren’t sure. But you knew there was some sort of tension between you and it was growing.
You tried to forget these embarrassing thoughts and just go to sleep. But the walls of the rundown inn were thin, and you heard a shower being turned on in the next room.
Hunter’s room.
Heat crept to your cheeks as your mind began to wander again. You imagined him stripping his clothes, neatly placing them at the base of the bed, his naked muscular form revealing itself as he stepped into the hot water.
Stop. You told yourself. He’s your Sergeant. I shouldn’t be thinking of him this way…. But the image of him in the shower was too tempting, as your hand made its way to the waistline of your sleep shorts.
You couldn’t help but think of him thoroughly rubbing himself down with soap, his muscles rippling under the steamy water as the heat released tension from his body.
You imagined his tattoo going all the way down his torso, to his hip, which deliciously dipped to his muscular thighs, which you thought about your hands gripping often. And what lay between his muscular thighs was what really got your mind spinning. You groaned and adjusted your legs, heat beginning to pool between them.
You shouldn’t be having these thoughts. You respected him. He was your teammate. He was your friend.
But you didn’t stop yourself, beginning to get lost in the fantasy as your hand slipped fully beneath your damp panties.
You imagined Hunter’s wet hair stuck to his body as he moaned, his own hand gripping his hard length as he pleasured himself, thinking of you. Water running down his cut muscle, his head thrown back in ecstasy as he brought himself closer to release.
You began to rub circles around your clit, sighing at the sensation, now imagining yourself with him in that shower, his velvet voice murmuring praises in your ear as he thrusted deep inside of you, his warm, calloused hands squeezing every part of your soft flesh.
You thought you were being quiet, stifling your moans as best you could, knowing the walls were thin and Hunter was right on the other side. Maybe you did want him to hear, so he’d know how you truly felt. The thought of him listening only intensified your pleasure and you picked up the pace of your hand, not noticing that Hunter’s shower had stopped a few minutes ago, or that Hunter was hearing every single sound next door.
At first Hunter didn’t want to believe it was you. He had just laid down, his hair damp from the shower, trying to get comfortable. He knew he should be enjoying an actual bed, but his senses were on high alert in this new space. He didn’t like his brothers being so spread out. At the very least, Wrecker’s room was right next door to Omega’s, so he knew that she would be safe if anything were to happen. He knew he shouldn’t worry, but it was habit.
Another worry plagued his mind: you. His thoughts were also preoccupied with you, as they were almost every waking second.
Hunter was struggling with his feelings for you, knowing he couldn’t ignore them much longer. You were reliable, honest, quick-witted, which amused him knowing you were part of a pirate gang before joining them.
You got along with his brothers and Omega liked you, and that was honestly enough for him. He was thinking more and more about his future with his family, and it was hard to visualize that future without you by his side. That’s how he knew he was in deep.
He had wanted to confess his feelings to you multiple times, but always hesitated. He didn’t want to risk ruining your friendship.
Hunter almost told you how he felt tonight, when you were standing outside your door. Hunter wanted to kiss you, take you up on your offer and follow you into your room, show you how much he really cared. But he paused like he always did, not able to find the right words.
Hunter rubbed his face and sighed, wishing he could just sleep.
A faint sound brought him out of his thoughts, his sensitive ears picking up a small moan. He froze, listening as he caught another sigh that sounded awfully similar to your voice.
Hunter first brushed it off to this hotel being less than reputable, probably someone in the room above him watching something illicit on the Holonet.
He was about to put his pillow over his head to drown it out, trying to get a good night’s sleep, but then he heard a louder gasp. It wouldn’t have been heard by anyone else, but he could hear it. There was no denying it now, it was your voice coming from the other side of the wall you shared. The gasps and sighs sounded like they should be coming from a dirty Holonet program, but they were coming from you, from your lips.
His heart thudded, his entire body suddenly on fire, the realization of what you were doing in your room dawning on him.
Hunter knew he shouldn’t listen, but it was impossible for him not to. More soft moans drifted to his ears, his cock instinctually hardening underneath his pants as he imagined you writhing on your bed, your hand working your wet pussy. Were you thinking about him? Someone else? A pang of jealousy shot through him, followed by another pang of guilt. It felt wrong to intrude like this. You deserve privacy, even with his heightened senses, even if you were thinking of someone other than him.
Again, Hunter was going to put his pillow over his head, trying to ignore his throbbing cock and your delicious mewls, but then he heard you again, this time taking the form of his name.
Hunter thought his heart was going to stop. Did he hear correctly? His senses have never led him astray. He focused, listening intently, secretly hoping he was right. Another quiet moan and he heard his name again.
Hunter’s body reacted immediately, intense desire rushing through his veins, goosebumps covering him head to toe as he heard you calling his name. Something primal was climbing its way out of him, not knowing exactly what his next steps were. You were saying his name. You were thinking of him during your most private moment. You must feel the same way that he did for you? All the nights he yearned for you, wanting you, but not knowing how to tell you, or not knowing if you even felt the same way?
Your soft gasps of his name and his name alone was his answer.
His mind was drunk with lust, his body telling him to go next door and help you finish the job. He sat up on his bed, his instincts overtaking his logical brain, and the next thing he knew, he was right outside your door. You were calling out to him, and he couldn’t deny you any longer.
Before he knocked, he could hear your breathing through the door. Your hitched breath as you were bringing yourself closer to release, his name leaving your lips again. He was certain now.
Hunter was ready to break down the door, he needed to see you. To feel you.
Hunter took a breath to focus himself momentarily, trying to get his breathing and heartbeat under control. But he couldn’t wait any longer, your muffled cries the only thing he could focus on. Before he could change his mind, he quickly knocked. For the first time in his life, Hunter had no plan, his mind totally encompassed by you.
He heard you let out a gasp of surprise, then a curse, and quick shuffling. He heard your footsteps coming toward the door. He said your name, his voice low.
You were getting close, your legs shaking, your hand rubbing at just the right spot around your clit, release imminent, your mind intensely focused on Hunter. A loud knock on your door startled you out of your fantasy.
Kriff, who could that be?! You thought, flustered by the interruption and letting out an audible curse. You quickly took your hand out of your pants, frustrated that your fantasy was cut short.
Then you heard Hunter’s voice say your name. You were startled, adrenaline rushed through your body. Why is he knocking at my door so late at night? Something must be wrong. You adjusted yourself, and walked over to the door, just in your nightclothes, panic starting to rise in your chest, the realization that he was right outside your door. Which means he probably heard you. How long was he standing out there? Oh Maker.
“Uh…Hunter? What’s going on?” You asked through the door, trying to play it casual.
There was a moment of silence. “Open the door. Please.”
His voice was strained. You swallowed and grasped the door handle, turning it to open. You pulled the door toward you, only to be pushed back slightly as Hunter barged inside, closing it quickly behind him, his eyes wild. “Hunter…what…what’s going on? Is everything okay?”
You were nervous, he was acting strange and looked disheveled. He wasn’t wearing his bandana, and dressed only in an undershirt and pants. His hair fell around his face as his gaze bore into you. “I heard…you. From my room.” Was all he could muster.
Hunter could smell your arousal in the air of the room and he was close to snapping, all his pent up desire fogging his brain. He needed you, he needed something.
He…heard me? Does he mean…? Oh kriff.
Your face caught on fire at the realization of what he was saying, wanting to disappear into the floor from total humiliation, never to be seen again. You didn’t know what to say, suddenly worried he was mad at you for keeping him awake, demanding to know why his name was coming from your lips, ready to be kicked off the team for insubordination.
You were completely and utterly mortified. Your mind ran circles, trying to think up any excuse. “Hunter I…I’m sorry…I.. didn’t realize…”
“I heard my name.” Hunter interrupted, as he stepped closer to you, his hands forming fists at his sides, his voice shaking. Once again, you wanted to fall through a hole in the floor. You wanted to run away. “You were thinking of me?” His voice was dangerously low as he looked down on you, unclenching his fisted hands and hesitantly resting them on your waist, pleading to himself he wasn’t misreading this entire situation.
Your body quivered, not stopping him as you realized why he was here. He wasn’t upset. He was here to answer your call.
The look in his eyes was absolutely predatory and you noticed a large bulge in his pants as your eyes flicked up and down his body. You were speechless momentarily, but couldn’t deny the ache that was forming between your legs, your heart rate increasing. “I…yes…I was…” was all you could say, your voice barely a whisper. Hunter’s eyes darkened at your words.It was him you were thinking about. No one else.
“Do you think about me often?” he murmured, his voice close to cracking, intoxicated by your scent.
Hunter could see your chest heaving, hear your heart thudding. He could smell a fresh wave of arousal that caused his body to throb as his cock strained against his waistband. “Yes…” You croaked, trembling under his look. His hands gripped your waist tighter, his confidence growing as you answered truthfully. “I could hear everything, your perfect moans…do you realize how long I’ve wanted you?” Hunter hoarsely whispered, barely holding on, his control slipping.
You felt like you were going to explode at his touch and his words. You brought your hands up to grasp his shoulders, his body radiating heat through his clothes.
Were you dreaming?
“Hunter…” a lusty gasp left your lips, and Hunter almost took you then and there. “Let me help you…” He whispered, lowering his head to your neck, his lips brushing right underneath your earlobe.
“I can either join or watch. Your choice.”
Hunter’s voice was deep, and absolutely desperate.
Him admitting he wanted to watch you continue pleasuring yourself almost made you faint, never hearing something so alluring in your entire life.
This had to be a dream.
The thought of him watching you was tempting, but here he was, offering his entire self to you. Something you’ve wanted for so long. You couldn’t pass it up, not now.
“Join me.”
Your voice trembled as you gave him your answer. Hunter lifted his head from your neck, peering into your eyes, searching for the same need that was in his.
“Are you sure?”
You stuttered the words you’ve been wanting to say for months, not seeing any reason to keep it a secret now. “Maker, Hunter…I do want you…I need the real thing, I need you.” Hunter’s eyes flashed, and he let out an anguished growl as he closed the distance between you, pressing his lips to yours in a sloppy and frenzied kiss, doing what you’ve both wanted for so long. It was better than either of you ever imagined, your need for one another finally let loose.
He deepened the kiss by tilting your head back, cradling the back of your skull with his hand, pressing himself even closer to you. You could feel his hot, hard length against your stomach, his craving for you undeniable.
You melted into him, all your secret desire rushing to the surface, tightening your grip on his muscled shoulders. The fingers of his one hand that was holding the back of your head wrapped in your hair, gently tugging your neck even further back as his lips consumed yours. You let out a moan at the sensation, giving him the opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth, which you eagerly welcomed.
Hunter let out his own gasp as your hands moved from his shoulders to his scalp, your fingernails lightly raking down his crown. You felt like you were floating, the breath completely knocked out of your lungs at his taste and his passion, still not believing he was here, doing this to you.
After what seemed like hours, Hunter reluctantly broke the kiss momentarily, giving you both a chance to catch your breath you didn’t realize you needed.
“I need you, too…” He gasped. “I have for a long time…you have no idea what you do to me, cyar’ika…” Hunter released the back of your head, his warm hands sliding down to your back as he peppered hot, open mouth kisses on your neck. He nipped and sucked at your soft skin, also not believing this was real. If this was real, it felt like a weight had been lifted off his chest at saying out loud how he felt, and hearing that you felt the same way back.
Hunter’s free hand ghosted under your night shirt, and when you didn’t tell him to stop, he brought it up to your breast, squeezing and pinching the sensitive flesh. Your nipples pebbled at the sensation, his skilled fingers rubbing and rolling the hardened nub, your arousal growing more than you thought you could handle.
Hunter’s tongue licked over your jugular, and he could feel your blood pumping under his tongue, tasting the sweat and craving on your skin, stoking the raging fire in him even more as he walked you back toward the edge of the bed.
You felt the back of your knees bump the mattress, and Hunter held you as you slowly laid down, bringing himself with you. He nestled between your legs, kissing you deeply again, his arms caging you in.
You bucked against him, rubbing yourself against his hard bulge, searching for that delicious friction.
He groaned into your mouth, and now it was Hunter’s turn to desperately rut against you, his control now almost completely gone. You were going to be the end of him.
“I need to see all of you, now.” Hunter ordered as he began urgently tugging at your clothes, needing to feel your skin on his. He rolled off of you momentarily, standing up to practically rip his civvies off his body as you did the same on the bed, shimmying out of your sleepwear and tossing them to the side.
He stopped, his mind finding clarity for one moment as he gazed at your body and you at his. Saliva pooled in your mouth at the sight of him, unbelievably defined, broad chest and muscular arms. His cock swollen and girthy between his narrow waist, glistening with precum, begging for relief. Begging for you.
“Beautiful…so beautiful.” He muttered as he climbed on top of you again, still gazing at you. You wrapped your legs around his waist, pulling him back down to your body. Your lips met, this time less intense, as Hunter relished your irresistible taste, the taste he’s been dreaming of. He swallowed every gasp that left your lips, the kiss heating up again as you grasped the sides of his head, your soft skin moving against his hard, battle-scarred body as he rubbed his length against your soaking entrance.
But there was another taste he wanted, needed or he thought he was going to implode.
Hunter pulled himself away from you as a whine left your lips, already missing his touch.
He moved down your body, kissing down your neck, collarbone, stopping at your breasts to take each sensitive nipple in his mouth for brief attention before continuing on. He slid backwards off you until he was kneeling on the ground at the base of the bed. “I want to taste how much you want me.” He growled as he grasped your ankles and pulled you to the edge of the bed, throwing your legs over his shoulders, causing you to yelp at how easily he was manhandling you.
You knew what he was about to do, but that didn’t prepare you for how his mouth felt as he began desperately lapping at your cunt, absolutely devouring you as your hands clenched the sheets for dear life as louder and louder moans escaped from deep in your chest. You couldn’t speak as you were quickly reaching your peak for the second time that night.
Hunter was completely lost now, having your arousal on his tongue, his face pressed in the source of your longing. His cock ached almost painfully, but it had to wait. He wanted you to feel how much he wanted you.
Hunter swirled his tongue around your clit, never wanting this moment to end. He could stay between your legs for the rest of his life, lapping at your juices and hearing every single choked cry that caught in your throat as he hummed against your core in his own daze. He felt your hands suddenly grasping at his hair, tugging as you cried out that you were close, gasping his name. Hunter continued his feast as your body thrashed, intense pressure building in your lower abdomen. With one more long lick, your orgasm washed over you, your back arching off the bed, Hunter’s name a ragged cry as he worked you through your release, not wanting to miss a single drop.
He finally lifted his head from between your thighs, knowing he wasn’t going to last much longer at this rate. “You don’t know how long I’ve wanted to do that.” You blushed at his words as he climbed back on top of you lost in a haze of passion and pure animal instinct. “Ready?” He muttered, still making sure you were okay with this, with him, as he kissed you, tasting yourself on his lips.
“Hunter, I need you inside me right now, please…I need you…”
You couldn’t wait any longer. You had to feel him inside of you.
Your pleads were all he needed to hear as he pushed in to your entrance, holding back every atom in his body that wanted to slam in to you and fuck you senseless. But he didn’t want to hurt you, though his composure was crumbling.
You could feel all the muscles in Hunter’s body tense as he slowly slid in, the sensation of your velvety muscle gliding against him almost making him cum right then and there, his senses completely overloaded.
Hunter bottomed out and brought his forehead to yours, his breath shaking and labored. “You feel incredible…” His tone was low, barely audible. Hunter waited for a moment, feeling you around him, hearing your breathing, inhaling your sweet aroma, still hoping this wasn’t a dream as he let you get used to him inside you, the anticipation ready to rip him apart.
You moved your hips slightly, telling him it was okay to continue, knowing what he wanted.
He nodded wordlessly and began rolling his hips slowly into yours. The feeling of him finally inside you, stretching your walls, took your breath away. Hunter let out a moan so lewd you knew it would be burned into your memories forever.
You locked your ankles around his waist, adjusting the angle of his cock as he moved in you. “You can go faster, Hunter. I want you to fuck me.”
That predatory glint in his eye returned at your bold statement as he increased his pace, your words fueling him.
It was Hunter’s turn to grasp the sheets around your head as he got lost in pleasure, grinding himself in to you, his eyes screwed shut and his head right against yours, his shaking moans escaping his lips right at your ear. Hunter’s senses were completely shot now.
Your taste, smell, sounds…every nerve in his body felt like it was charged with electricity, a current running down his spine as he focused on nothing but you.
Hunter was hitting a spot so deep you couldn’t formulate any thoughts, your own whimpers and gasps growing louder and more desperate.
You could feel another orgasm building, the pressure of his pelvis on yours rubbing on just the right spot. Your hands grasped at the back of his head as your body shook, getting closer to your release.
He was driving himself into you, his control finally gone. The intensity of his thrusts made your mind melt, you had never felt this way with anyone ever before.
Hunter was pressing frantic kisses to the side of your mouth, getting close himself as he fucked you in to the shaking bed.
You could barely make out the jumble of praises he was uttering on your lips between thrusts. “Let go for me…I won’t last much longer…you’re so beautiful like this…”
Hunter’s fervid hips and passionate words brought you to your peak, your orgasm spreading like a tidal wave over your body, your nails digging into Hunter’s skull and he continued to fuck you senseless, his name a chant in the heavy air of the room.
Hunter let out a strained growl as his hips stuttered into yours, your final pinnacle bringing him to his own end as he felt your walls clench around him. “Wh-where?” He gasped as your head lolled against the pillow, trying to keep your eyes open. “Inside.” Your hoarse statement was all he needed to hear as pleasure ripped through his body, pressing impossibly deep into you, his body vibrating with every intense sensation imaginable.
With a final drive of his hips, Hunter collapsed on top of you, careful not to crush you under his weight. For a few moments, it was silent except for your combined gasps, desperate to get air back in your lungs from the exertion.
Your mind was still trying to catch up with everything that had just happened. Hunter was on top of you? Naked? Still inside you? Was it time to wake up from this dream? Hunter lifted his head, looking at you. “I hope the real thing was as good as you imagined.” His voice was soft, his hair sticking to his forehead, glistening with sweat. You’ve never seen him so breathless.
“It was better than good.” You exhaled, still trying to catch your own breath.
Hunter lifted himself up off of you, rolling to the side, feeling slightly dizzy as the electric buzz in his body began to fade as his senses returned to normal. Hunter hummed and brought his hands behind his head, laying on his back. You were silent again for a few moments, but it was comfortable.
“You know,” he finally rumbled, “This place isn’t half bad. I wouldn’t mind if we had to stay a few extra nights.” His eyes flicked to yours, hoping you’d catch his meaning.
“Though I might have to move rooms if my neighbor continues to be so loud. Won’t get any sleep with such a distraction.”
You smiled and rolled on your side toward him. “Hmm, pretty sure I saw the “No Vacancy” sign out front. But I think we can work something out.”
Hunter let out a chuckle at your response, rolling to face you, his face softening.
“I’d like it if we could work something out.”
You smiled at his gentle words, a blush forming on your cheeks. “Me too.”
Hunter pulled you against him, wrapping his body around yours. “Can’t promise you’ll get any sleep in this room, though.” You muttered against his warm body.
Hunter smirked as he brought his lips to yours for a meaningful kiss.
“If it means being with you, it’s worth it.”

Destroyer Bonus - Glow
something lighter after the last update
@pumpkin-spice-whump sent an ask game about “best memories” w paris and delta and it made me sad because yeah there arent many! but there are a few. heres one of the softer ones. ft. drunk!Delta
(Content: living weapon whumpee, dehumanization, touch starved, implied physical abuse, alcohol, power imbalances, war mention, passing drugs mention)
“What do you mean they surrendered?” Paris’s phone charms clicked together as he paced up and down the hall. “When? Just now?”
Delta listened at the other end of the hall, taking careful notice of the silent pauses that marked it as a phone argument, not a normal argument. The former always disappointed him. He liked hearing both sides so he could figure out who to root for.
“Well what the fuck did I come here for then?” Paris’s voice was more whiny than angry this time. “We already unpacked!”
Most of the ship’s cargo had been emptied to set up a new base camp, most of the soldiers already occupied with its assembly. The relative vacancy of the ship made all sound echo within it.
He heard Paris curse, the call ending abruptly, and the footsteps approaching. Delta peeked out of the alcove he’d been hiding out in.
“Not on?” He mouthed.
Paris jumped back in surprise, but recovered quickly. He rolled his eyes.
“No, we’re not on,” he said. “I didn’t call you, did I?”
Paris shooed him away, even though he’d been there first. He was barely looking at him, all his attention still absorbed in the broken screen.
“Go to your room.”
He went to his room.
~
That was fine. He was never unhappy about cancellations. Even before his little moral doubts had started nagging at him, the work was hard on his body, even harder on his brain. He didn’t mind going back to his room. It meant he wouldn’t have to do anything today — and he was always so grateful for any rest.
He stared at the book he’d been reading until the room had grown so dark he could not see the pages. When he finally came to, it was pitch black outside the windows. He didn’t know how much time had passed. There came a knocking from out in the hallway.
The only light that came through to him was a thin line of orange beneath the door. Shadows crossed over it. He heard giggling, faintly. He didn’t bother to turn the lamp on before he opened it.
Sierra stood in the doorway, one hand flying to her mouth coyly as if to conceal her smile. She was flanked by her other handmaidens. Without the standard coifs and corsets, they were almost unrecognizable. They were dressed all in white, though the fabric of the gowns was frayed and torn at the edges. Their hair was undone in loose, messy curls.
“Hi Delta,” Sierra waved, then covered her mouth again in faux shyness. “We’re having a party, cause like, there’s nothing else to do here. We were wondering if you wanted to come out?”
He blinked, his head still foggy as he was emerging from the fantasy novel. He stared back at her tiredly and did not even consider the offer.
“I’m not allowed to leave the ship,” he said.
Sierra shook her head, smiling wider.
“Already asked. His Majesty said it’s alright.”
She slipped on the title, or she was being mean. Delta wasn’t convinced either way.
“He wouldn’t say that.”
She held up a small slip of paper.
𝒮𝒾𝑒𝓇𝓇𝒶 𝒸𝒶𝓃 𝒹𝑜 𝓌𝒽𝒶𝓉𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝓈𝒽𝑒 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈.
𝒫𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓈 ♡
~
He went to tell Simon he was leaving, just to cover all his bases, but found his office empty. It was a total ghost ship. The girls hadn’t been lying. It seemed like everyone onboard had gone out to the encampment.
There seemed no better use for it, if they weren’t going to be fighting, if they weren’t leaving until tomorrow.
He followed them down the ramp, dressed more casually than he usually did for any “party” occasion, but still done up in the way they had liked. He didn’t argue.
He began to regret the easiness with which he had followed them as they walked past the groups of soldiers. He did not actually want to be near any of them if they were getting loaded, or even if they weren’t. They were too rough, too entitled. They thought he had to answer to them — and though he didn’t, he did not have the boldness to correct them. Not that they would’ve listened anyway.
But Sierra did not stop at the main camp, though some of the girls did peel off to see all the commotion. She led Delta and the others out on the knoll.
There was a crop of trees surrounding a stone pit. He watched her struggle to start a fire there before finally offering to do it himself, igniting the wood with electricity until it caught flame. He blushed at the cheers he got for that. It was nothing.
They had only taken him out as a toy. He had no misconceptions about that. He sat down in the spot where they’d indicated, keeping his posture straight so as not to throw off their machinations.
They talked amongst themselves while they worked. He caught the edges of their conversations, found none of it especially relevant but entertaining enough. It was more entertaining the more drinks they slipped into his hand. The girls seemed to get the same rebellious thrill out of his drunkenness that he got out of being drunk. Martino would’ve killed him if he knew. He drank in spite of, or maybe because of this.
He liked the way the night air felt against his skin. He was grateful to have experienced it before they made the return trip. As large as the ship was, it could easily become claustrophobic after enough time spent in deep space. It made him crazy, sometimes.
He flinched at the abruptness of the contact, then gradually relaxed underneath it. He was so unused to gentle touch. As the maid’s hand moved through his hair and down along his neck, he had to stop himself from leaning into it. It was hard for him to recognize anything as want, but in this, he came close. The touch was fleeting. It never lasted long.
They braided flowers into his hair, stopping every few minutes to check their progress.
He hadn’t realized Sierra had left until she reappeared. In the dark, their silhouettes all looked the same. She came back over the promenade. Paris tread casually beside her.
Delta tensed a bit, fearing Sierra’s permit had not actually been all-inclusive, that he was not actually supposed to be outside. But Paris didn’t look very shocked to see him. He tousled his hair absently as he passed behind him, made no other acknowledgment.
As usual, he followed Paris’s voice before any other sound. He couldn’t keep himself from listening in on their conversation, even if he wanted to.
“-not like it’s real. You’d know if it was.”
“It isn’t, though. I’ve always known it’s not real, that doesn’t make it any-“
“My brother used to get those. They gave him Ativan for it.”
“I tried that already.”
Another flower was braided into Delta’s hair. All the stars were out. The music carried over from the main camp, not deafening the way it must have been at its source, but pleasantly muted by the distance.
~
Paris held the bottle in his periphery, shaking it gently, like a lure. Delta took it. The prince’s attention immediately left him, did not wait to see his reaction. An offer, then, not an order. Delta drank it anyway.
It was only when Paris sat down by the other side of the fire that Delta noticed the laurel wreath woven into his hair. He’d never seen it before, did not know where he had found it.
“Hi,” Delta said, already very drunk.
“Hey,” Paris shrugged, more sober than he normally was this time of night.
Sierra was laying down on the other side of them, playing on her phone. There was no way she had a signal out here. She was feeding a virtual cat with blue pellets, watching the status bar go up.
“Do you remember when the Emperor first got you?”
He said the Emperor, instead of my father. Delta tried to remember if he’d ever said the word dad. At most, he would call him the old man, but it was stark and without any playfulness. It was accurate. The Emperor had been old, even when the two of them were just children. Too old not to have a succession plan.
Before Delta could respond, one of the maids snapped her fingers by his face. He turned around.
“Stay like that,” she said before blinding him with the camera’s flash. He stayed like that, holding still as she took a few more. The only experience he’d had with cameras was in clinical settings. He held the same indifferent expression he’d been coached to wear, which to be fair, was not very different from how he normally looked.
“Delete those,” Paris said without much passion. It was against protocol, but it was clear he didn’t really care either way. He turned his attention back to Delta. “That trick with the dragon. Can you still do it?”
He couldn’t believe he even remembered that. Delta had found it insanely gaudy at the time, even more so as his tastes had developed. He realized, a bit sadly, that the purchase anniversary was coming up. He wondered if they’d send a card.
“No.” Delta shook his head. It’d been a party trick, never repeated. “I couldn’t do it in the dark, anyway.”
At that same instant, the fireworks went off in the distance. Paris flinched, moving both hands protectively to the back of his skull like he anticipated an attack from behind. When none came, and there was only red and purple across the sky, his expression changed from embarrassment to annoyance and then eventually relief. The fireworks weren’t from their camp. They’d come from across the river. Not his responsibility.
Nobody else seemed to see him flinch, so Delta pretended not to either. His attention drifted back to the fireworks alone.
They were impressive for what they were. Nothing compared to the sheer shock and awe of the campaigns that could have just as easily lit up the sky that night. He could have spent all night trying to stop the bleeding from his mouth, the numb static in his hands. He was glad they’d surrendered. He knew that this was how he was meant to be used, what the Emperor had intended. The threat of destruction was almost more powerful than the carnage itself. He wished it could play out this way more often, without anyone actually having to die.
The case clanked noisily to the ground. Sierra knelt over top of it with her hands on her hips, before giddily prying off the lid.
The interior was bright with all the different paints held inside of it. They were some algae derivative, bioluminescent, glow-in-the-dark.
Sierra licked the tip of her paint brush. Her other hand moved to take Paris’s. He offered it without resistance, about as used to being handled by her as Delta was. Well, not quite as much.
In thin lines, she traced shapes over the back of his hand and along his wrists. She scooted closer to him to drag the brush along his cheekbone.
Delta hadn’t realized until then just how much the two of them resembled each other. Pale skin, light gold hair. But she looked more alive than he did. Paris took the brush from her.
As he watched Paris paint the dahlia in careful strokes along her cheek, Delta was overcome with the sense that none of them belonged here.
It passed quickly, the way it always did. It had to.
He startled a bit as Paris caught him looking. He couldn’t exactly hide his staring in the dark, both his eyes shining like headlights. He hadn’t meant to stare.
Paris quirked one eyebrow at him. He uncurled his hand, waiting a second. When he was met with no resistance, he finished the gesture, curling the fingers back inward. Here.
Delta arranged himself carefully in front of him, offering his wrist. Paris took it, readjusting his arm to have a better angle at the canvas. Like before, he was almost overwhelmed by the touch, so unused to any softness that he thought he might’ve just lost sensation.
The paint was more cool than he’d been expecting, like river clay. Pale green. Paris made the first marks with his fingers. They were loose ferns and vines. Soon after he switched back to the brush. It moved in smooth, tickling arcs. The old lines were cleaned up. New ones were drawn on more precisely.
Sierra had marked Paris in the traditional style, mostly roses and spirals along his veins. He’d done hers in the same way. The marks Paris left on Delta’s skin were different. He did not understand why they looked so familiar. After a few drunken seconds, he recognized them. He’d seen them scrawled out along the columns of the Imperial churches. They were bind runes. Protective sigils.
He flinched as his chin was tilted back up.
“Not gonna hurt you,” Paris said.
He was embarrassed that his flinch reflex had gotten so overactive, though frankly it was Paris’s fault. He didn’t sound annoyed though, or even particularly surprised. He had to have known it just as well.
Delta closed his eyes. The brush tip was slick against his face and not altogether unpleasant. Oddly gentle.
After a few strokes, Paris clicked his tongue in disappointment, “You’re already glowing.”
It was true. The glow wouldn’t stand out on him the way it would on the others. If anything, the paint might’ve blotted out the light from his freckles. But the color would show. He still wanted it.
Paris painted a few more lines beneath his eyes. His eyebrows were knit in concentration; he was taking this more seriously than he needed to. Even without seeing them, Delta could feel just how tight and tidy the lines were. It was a collection of five point stars.
While they’d been working, the other maids had done themselves up just the same, their practiced hands moving much quicker. The patterns they had drawn along their arms seemed to come to life as they moved amongst the flickering shadows.
Delta settled back against the tree. He finished out the last of the bottle. His skin felt strange and newly exposed, like the brush had cut him open. It’d still felt nice at the time.
He was drifting off. Everything was fading out into a pleasant haze. All he could focus on were the golden embers and the way they drifted upwards into the black sky.
“You kept him up past his bedtime,” he heard Paris chiding. It sounded like it was coming from very far away. Sierra giggled a bit in response, not unkindly.
“Can I…?” His own voice faded out. He asked out of politeness, but he did not feel it was something he had much control over anymore.
“You’re good.”
Delta fell asleep right there on the grass, wrapped up in the strange glow of night.

3.187 Passing the keys
That night, I went back to the rental website to fill the vacancy because it didn't make sense to wait. The house had been sitting all this time, waiting to generate income for us, and it was past time I did something about it. I decided to rent to the older gentlemen, but his application was no longer available. I was kind of bummed because I had already formed a picture in my mind of what he would be like based on the information he shared on the application, and now I'd have to start over. The plus side is that I found a young family like I originally wanted, so I accepted their application right away. In the morning, I got a notification saying they had moved in already, so I went over there after breakfast to introduce myself and get to know them. The application stated they were a married couple with twin infants. The house wasn't exactly setup for two babies, but they can make it work.
As I approached the door, I overheard them arguing, and my whole body tensed up. They reminded me of Mama's friends, who stayed with us and argued literally day and night. I hope to the Watcher these two are not like that. I pressed my ear to the door to see if I could get an idea of what the issue was. It turns out the woman was flustered because she saw a lost dog who needed help but ignored it. She felt guilty about it and wanted to go back and find the dog, but the husband didn't get it. He was very dismissive and said dogs get lost all the time and it was none of her business if someone can't keep track of their animal. Oh boy. This better not be a bad omen. I knocked, hoping to interrupt him berating her, and they let me in. Owen and Jilliana Sage are their names. Owen works at a store and seemed to have a good sense of humor, so maybe he's not so bad. Jilliana is more serious and super smart. She works at the space center, but I don't remember what she said she does there.
She tried to introduce me to the babies, Xavier and Zahava, but they both started screaming because Owen had the TV way too loud. Xavier calmed down enough to let me hold him, though. He was so tiny and made me miss Desiree at that age. I didn't intend to spend the day with them, and they clearly had things to do, so I told them to call me if they needed anything and made my exit.
I had to pass by Chi Chi's house on the way back home, so I stopped by to tell her we were moving to Gibbs Gardens soon. She was bummed about not being around the corner from us anymore, but relieved we weren't leaving the city. Behind her eyes, however, there seemed to be more than just disappointment at losing her favorite neighbor. I asked if something was wrong, and in Chi Chi-like fashion, I got way more than I bargained for.
As she began this tale, my initial reaction was to beat myself up again about not being a good friend because the details of her story started a while ago. But I stopped those thoughts before my brain ran away with them. We all have super busy lives. No one has time to be involved at such a granular level anymore, and no one is expecting us to know everything. I am a good friend, and I don't have to know every detail to prove it. Come to think about it, my friends—minus Dub—know less about me than I know about them. Needless, I'm done with stressing myself about this.
Chi Chi's woes began with her birthday a few weeks back. Like many women her age (especially when they are as fine as she is), she didn't handle the adult birthday well. Of course, she knew her body would change, but like me, seeing it hit differently. Between that and the little lines creeping from the corners of her eyes and across her forehead, she's feeling frumpy. I almost laughed. She is still one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Frumpy where?? She would turn heads wearing a paper bag. I bet she could gain 300 pounds, shave off her hair, and still have a trail of thirsty men following her everywhere. Still, if the aging stuff was the only thing she had to deal with, she would be fine in time. The problem is all her other worries reinforce the aging issues, and she is struggling. The short version of the story is her life has not turned out how she imagined. She once told me she wanted to remarry and have more kids, but all the dates she's been on led nowhere. Now, as an adult, she's thinking about giving up on that dream, especially when she's about to be a grandmother! Karmine, her daughter, is grown grown now. She moved her boyfriend into the house without even discussing it. Then, she got pregnant and moved out, so Chi Chi is all alone in the house with nothing but these crushing thoughts to keep her company, and she's not doing that great.
I had no idea if it would help, but I decided to share my midlife crisis story. It felt wrong at first because I never told Sophia I was struggling, but if Chi Chi can walk away feeling better, the discomfort will be worth it. Even though her story is different, I identified with everything she said because I realized life rarely turns out exactly how we plan. The reason is because we never factor in trouble or change. Our plans are always perfect and positive. When change and trouble comes, we feel out of control, like our world is falling apart. But the world isn't falling apart. It's the same as it always was. We just haven't taken off our rose-colored glasses yet.
I told Chi Chi everything would be okay, and she should look at it from a positive perspective. Because she's not starting a new family, and is an empty nester, she's got so much extra time to do all those bucket list things she's been looking forward to. And since she won't have any young children to raise, she has time to time to be super grandma and help her daughter through those oh so difficult first two stages. She's still really young and can reinvent herself if she wanted. And when love finally finds her again, and I believe it will, it will be all about them with no one else coming between them. They'll grow old together and be annoyingly in love.
Like I said, I have no clue if my little pep talk helped, but at least I left her smiling. Kinda like grieving, she'll find her way to accepting her new normal, and when she does, she'll appreciate the picture I painted for her.

I won’t lie, saw your post about how things are scary rn in the U.S. and… idrk what’s going on. Been avoiding it like the plague bc i’m afraid of the information i’m currently ignorant to. As someone who dwells on “what ifs” it scares me to know what is going on but at the same time i wanna know what’s happening since i live in the U.S too. Just wanted to share this. I feel bad bc of the fact that i been ignoring it, so i do wanna know what’s going on. I just want someone to tell it to me in a way that doesn’t feel like i’m being attacked for avoiding it bc i’m too afraid to learn the information by myself. But there may be some people like me out there.
Hi there, that's absolutely valid, it's been a bit of a mess and some miscommunications have occurred already (as typical always every 4 years here) and wanting to avoid all of it isn't unreasonable. Acknowledging but avoiding a subject is completely different than denial, and that's totally okay, I don't judge. I'll do my best to explain in a way that makes sense and that's hopefully helpful
Before anything else, let me preface this by saying that I am NOT a political scientist, I am NOT an expert in anyway regarding politics in the slightest, anything that I share below is based on my personal experience and research so please keep that in mind, I highly encourage you to check out the sources below for any further information. Having said that, here's what we know:
According to The Associated Press, and other news outlets, the current president elect is Donald Trump with 292 of the electoral college votes, races have not been called in AZ, NV, ME and AK.
Harris is set to give a concession speech at 4 pm EST today.
Republicans have control of the senate with 52 seats, with democrats having lost 3 seats and currently have 43. 5 remaining races have yet to be called. Currently, they are projected to be filled by Democrats by Associated Press and 270 to Win.
The house is currently still a toss up, 270 to Win projects 209 (D) to 213 (R) for 20 of the remaining 33 uncalled races. Again, 13 races are still a toss-up at this point in time.
Sources for more information:
If you would like more information regarding live coverage, as well as general, unbiased reporting, Associated Press is (in my opinion) the most accurate and unbiased source of information.
If you would like to see current projections for the remaining races, Associated Press and 270 to win appear (emphasis on appear) to have the most accurate reporting.
If you want to see live coverage and discussion, or to see how things unfolded last night, CNN did have a broadcast going last night that was free to watch. It appears they've now taken it down. If I happen to find said broadcast I'll update the post with it as they do a good job of explaining things state by state, precint by precint. However, much like any other media outlet, they can be prone to bias (left-leaning) and potentially to fear mongering. Should you seek out CNN or any other news outlet besides those above please keep in mind that reporting may be influenced in certain ways because of this.
Having said all that, here's what I personally think this means and what can still happen, with facts mixed in for reference. Much of this is my opinion and should not be taken as fact unless it's cited. Again, not an expert, just someone with a very very basic understanding of politics and government.
With the win of the presidency and the senate, republicans are at the advantage. With senate control they will be able to assist with choosing the next presidental cabinet, and should there be a vacancy on the supreme court, assist with that.
However, if democrats can take control of the house, the win will be massive, and leave them able to have some say in the next 4 years, but nothing is for certain at this point in time
Democrats potentially have at least a little breathing room in the senate, they're not majority, but only 4 seats difference is better than nothing
We've gotten through a Trump presidency before, the situation then, as well as the feeling everyone has now is exactly the same. We made it through then, and we can make it through again
The senate is only guaranteed to be controlled by Republicans until the 2026 midterms, two years is a long time, but it's only two years
Having lived through the last Trump term in my teens and remember it well, yes he managed to do some pretty awful things, but he also undelivered in several ways, we can only hope the same thing happens this time around, this would be especially true should democrats take the House
He won't be back, if he makes it through the term he'll be too old and his health won't be great. Republicans didn't want him this time, they won't want him the next.
JD Vance and so many others will still be kicking long after he's gone though, and that needs to be in the back of people's heads when we get closer to 2028
Trump made a lot of empty promises he didn't keep before, and personally I don't think he beleves half the things he says, he just says it because he knows others do believe it. Giving up hope now for a better tomorrow won't make a better tomorrow, hoping despite it all will. Giving up also gives people like him exactly what they want, and I'm not about to do that, neither should you.
For now, be vigilant, stay safe, but try to relax. Doom-scrolling, wondering what might happen, and so on, is pointless because at this point, we don't know. Anything could happen, this election is a clear example of that.
Hope this was able to help, anon. We're all in this together, and as long as that remains true, we're going to be okay. Highly recommend after reading this to do what's best for you, be that choosing to find out more through the sources above or continue to avoid it. Personally, I'm getting together with some friends this evening to study, chat, and chill and decompress from it all, hopefully you can do something similar if you need to 💜
#did my best to keep my opinions void of misleading information#again I have no expertise#in the slightest#if you see post and are interested in engaging in discourse#please don't#this is just basic information and my opinion#it is not intended to influence people's views nor to cause arguments

“Please, if you can, make one where Larissa doesn’t know, but the reader is too weak to drink, and when she gets drunk, touch Larissa and she takes responsibility for inviting the reader for a few glasses of wine, and just let her passion secret to touch her however you want. Larissa has a penis” - G4bE train wreck on A03
I Need Your Touch NSFW
Larissa Weems x fem reader
Summary: you are such a lightweight when it comes to drinking but you couldn’t turn the opportunity down when Larissa invites you to her office for a couple of glasses of wine. The drinks go straight to your head and your touchy side comes out.
Warnings: shifted cock, cunnilingus, teasing, fingering, soft, mentions of alcohol, smut
Request open
———————————
You have been working at Nevermore Academy for a little under a year now. As an outcast yourself you never thought you would be able to find a teaching job where you could express your true identity. That was until you found Nevermore. You immediately checked to see if there were any vacancies and low and behold there was.
You applied for one of the jobs that you would be suitable for and a few weeks later you were working at the new school. You had a very close relationship with your students and your colleagues but there was one person you just couldn’t seem to stop thinking about. The Principal herself just wouldn’t leave your mind.
You also believed that Larissa had also caught on to how you felt about her. At first you would be able to gaze and admire her from a distance and not get caught but now everytime you even look in her direction she always seems to know you're watching. You always get caught.
Then the flirting started. As your friendship grew closer and stronger the level of flirting increased. At first it started out with the occasional long glances and the odd lingering touch when your hands accidentally touched. But now it’s the constant lip biting when you are around each other as well as the lingering touches becoming more frequent as well as lasting longer than is appropriate for ‘friends’.
Although this behaviour continued to this very day neither of you have done anything about it. You both seem to be keeping things entirely professional, scared that you both might cross each other's boundaries. That was until one fateful day.
The school day had officially ended and you were sitting in your classroom checking your emails and grading some work that you needed to give back to your students tomorrow in class. You had a couple of emails from students which you responded to first. Most of them just ask questions about the assignments you had set for them. You always prioritise your students as you want them to do well.
You then check the emails from your colleagues. One of them was emailing over the plans for an upcoming school outing and the other was talking about a change in the timetable and they just wanted to clarify with you that it was right. You then refresh your emails to see no new ones come through. Happy with the lack of new emails you closed your laptop and started grading your students' work.
After about 45 minutes of marking their work you heard your phone bing. You grabbed your phone and had a quick glance at the notification. It was from gmail informing you of a new notification. You sighed as you placed your phone back on your desk and opened your laptop back up.
You open your emails to see the new email had in fact come from Larissa. You face lit up immediately and you were quick to open the email to see what it said.
Evening y/n,
Hope all is going well. I have a spare evening tonight and a couple bottles of wine that I won’t finish myself. So I was wondering if you would like to join me?
Don’t feel obligated to come but if you would like to come see me come meet me in my office at 20:00 this evening. I hope to see you soon.
Larissa x
All you could do was smile to yourself. Thee Larissa Weems has invited you to her office this evening for a glass or twice of wine. This was the first time Larissa had invited you to her office after hours so you didn’t really know what to expect. Either way though you were excited and looking forward to the evening ahead of you.
You closed your laptop and finished marking the work that you were currently working on. You placed the remainder of the students' work in the top drawer of the desk before grabbing your laptop and locking up your classroom for the evening.
You then made your way to your room to get ready for the evening ahead of you. It was currently 18:00 which meant you had two hours to get yourself sorted and ready before heading to see Larissa. What were you even supposed to wear? You didn’t even know if this was something friendly or something more.
You definitely didn’t want to overdress but at the same time you didn’t want to underdress. This was definitely going to be a long evening especially if you were reading this all wrong. You decided to have a quick shower which meant you had time to think about what you wanted to wear.
Before you jumped in the shower you played one of your spotify playlists on shuffle. The first song that came on was Long Live. The songs continued to shuffle as you washed your hair and did your skin care routine. Once out of the shower you went to go and dry your hair. You styled it so it was half up and half down letting the waves of your hair really show. Once your hair was done you did some light makeup before making your way to your wardrobe to choose an outfit.
After having a look at the range of clothes in the wardrobe and trying a few on you finally decided to go with a white button up tank top, some black ripped skinny jeans and a dark green raglan open front cardigan. You then paired the outfit a black round buckle belt. You then had a quick glance in the mirror to confirm you were happy with your final choice.
The only thing you could do was smile in the mirror. You loved it and you knew that Larissa definitely was going to love your outfit. You just hope that you weren’t reading this all wrong. You glanced over at the clock and it was now 19:30. Alright you had half an hour to kill so you chilled on your phone scrolling through social media.
The time went by relatively quickly and before you knew it was 19:55. You grabbed your phone and had one final glance in the mirror making sure you still looked good. You locked the door to your room before making your way to Larissa’s office. It didn’t take long to feel the butterflies start to build up inside of you.
It wasn’t long before you were standing outside the doors to Larissa’s office. You knocked on the large oak doors and waited for Larissa to allow you into her space. “Come in y/n” you heard Larissa speak from the otherside of the door. You opened the door and walked into her glorious office.
The sight in front of you was absolutely breathtaking. Larissa sat on her fabric sofa in front of the fireplace with two glasses and two bottles of wine. Larissa looked over at you and all she could do was smile at you. “Come sit y/n, these bottles of wine aren’t going to drink themselves” she giggled slightly.
You walked over to Larissa and sat down on the sofa leaving a respectable amount of space between the two of you. She poured you both a drink before leaning back into her sofa. “So how have you been today?” she asked you.
You had a sip of your drink before answering her question. “I’ve had a relatively good day. My students got on with their work, all their assignments were handed in on time for once, I got a lot of my marking done and now I’m sitting here with you so I can quite easily say I've had a great day. How has your day been though?” you asked as you had another sip of wine.
“My day has been quite stressful trying to organise the upcoming school outings but I’m definitely glad you decided to join me for a glass of wine tonight. It will definitely keep my mind distracted from this work load” she laughed slightly.
“Haha I definitely know that feeling and I'm definitely glad you invited me to your office for a glass of wine. It’s nice to be able to hang out after work and not have it be work related” you said to Larissa as you glanced over to her.
The night continued on and one glass turned into another which turned into another. This was such a bad idea yet you were having such a great time. It wasn’t very often that you drank alcohol so when you did it normally went straight to your head. You also learnt that when you did get drunk you had a habit of getting very touchy with the person you were with.
You had no ill intentions, it's just that physical touch is your love language and it was your way of expressing that and there was definitely a very high chance of that happening tonight considering you were drunk and with Larissa who you had an extreme crush on. As the evening went on you found yourself getting closer and closer to Larissa.
The flirting was clear as day now and Larissa could tell that the alcohol had gone straight to your head. Did she really care? No but that was because she was also tipsy. The difference between the two of you was that Larissa could handle her drinks a lot better which meant she had a clearer head than you did.
As you had somehow made your way next to Larissa you decided to test the waters and rest your head on her shoulder. All Larissa could do was giggle at your boldness. She shuffled slightly before wrapping her arm around your body letting you huddle into her body. You sighed knowing that Larissa was allowing you to do this.
You decided to test the waters further as you let your hand travel down to hers tracing circles over the top of her hand. While you did this you turned your head slightly so you were to leave little kisses over her shoulder. You ever so slowly made your way further up her arm so you were leaving kisses on her neck.
Larissa adjusted her neck ever so slightly allowing you more room to continue what you were doing. As you continued to kiss her neck you let your hand move from her hand so it was now resting on one of her breasts. You started to massage her breast as you started to leave hickies on Larissa’s neck.
Larissa had not said anything. She hadn’t told you to stop and you took it all as a good sign. As you continued to touch the woman in front of you Larissa started to let out small whimpers due to the pleasure you were giving her. You were enjoying every moment of this and decided to test the water further. You let your hand slowly travel down her body so it was now resting just above her waist.
You were about to let your hand travel down further so you could lift up her dress slightly but she grabbed your hand leaving you frozen in place. Did she not want this? Have you done something wrong? Even though you were still very much drunk you could start to feel your mind start to sober up a little.
You looked up to see what was going on. You were half expecting Larissa to be looking down at you with disgust but she was giving you this care filled look instead. “What’s the matter?” you asked Larissa. “Nothing darling. Nothing at all but your drunk darling. I want this to happen trust me I do but we should both be in sober minds. I would hate for this to happen and then you regret it the next morning.
All you could let out a small whimper. You wanted Larissa so desperately. You wanted to ravish her and make her feel things that only you could provide her but instead she wanted to wait. You understood why but in the moment you didn’t really care, you just wanted her.
“I tell you what, how about we spend the night together, but just sleeping and maybe cuddling. If you still feel the same way tomorrow then we will do something about it. How does that sound?” she said to you. All you could do was sigh before giving her a response. “That sounds like a plan” you smiled before giving her a light peck on the lips.
Larissa responded to your kiss immediately. It didn’t take long before you ended up in her lap having a full on make out session. The kiss was passionate and you could spend the whole evening in her embrace. You were hoping that it would lead onto something more but it didn’t. Just as you were gonna let your hands wander her body she stopped you. “Come on you, let's get you to bed” she said, scooping you up and bringing you to her bedroom.
Larissa stripped you of your clothing leaving you in your undergarments before then putting one of her t-shirts on you. It was more like a dress on you but you were too drunk to really notice. Larissa got you to lay down in bed before putting the duvet over the both of you. As soon as your head hit the pillow you were out for the count. Nothing was going to wake you until morning.
Larissa laid in bed next to you just watching you sleep. How she wanted to spend the night properly with you it just wasn’t something she was able to do especially as you were both intoxicated. You wouldn’t be able to live with yourself if you woke up the next morning regretting it all. It wasn’t long before Larissa fell asleep next to you holding you in a tight hug which caused you to unconsciously smile.
The next morning came round quicker than you both could imagine. You were the first to awake due to being blinded by the sunlight that was coming through the window. You groaned slightly not enjoying being woken up by this awful light. You turned over to get away from the sun to come face to face with a sleeping Larissa.
She was beautiful. She had no makeup on and her beautiful blonde hair was cascading down covering part of her face. All you could do was smile at the beautiful sight in front of you remembering everything that happened last night. You may get drunk quite quickly but 9 times out of 10 you always seemed to remember the night before.
You were definitely glad that you didn’t do anything last night just in case. You think it was more for Larissa’s peace of mind rather than anything else but now all you really wanted to do was show her the pleasure she was missing out on last night. You slowly leaned closer to her stroking the hair that was covering her face out of her way and tucking it behind her ear.
Your delicate touch caused the woman in front of you to start to stir in her sleep. Her eyes fluttered open causing a smile to be plastered on her face when she saw you. “Morning darling” she whispered to you. “Morning” you smirked back at her just admiring the sight in front of you. “What are you smirking at? Do you even remember anything from last night? You had a lot to drink darling and you were pretty drunk” she said sitting up slightly.
“Oh I remember everything and I definitely remember you saying we would do something about this if I still remembered. So if it’s alright with you I would love to show you what you were missing out on last night” you said smirking as you lifted Larissa t-shirt over your head and chucking onto the floor.
Larissa moaned at the sight of you before grabbing you by the hips and pulling you body so you were both lying against each other. Larissa gently cupped your face before bringing you into a gentle kiss. The kiss was just as passionate as the night before. You also cupped Larissa’s face as your lips moved in sync. It was like they were meant to be together like a piece missing from a jigsaw puzzle.
The longer the two of you kissed the more desperate you both became for one another and there were too many pieces of clothing that were separating the two of you. You let your hands travel down her body grabbing the hem of her silk pyjama top before lifting it over her head.
You separated for a brief moment as the fabric stopped you both from kissing but it didn’t take long for your lips to find each other. You moaned into the kiss as you let you handle travel down her bare chest. As you massaged her breasts her hands travelled around your body lifting her shirt off your body before then unclasping your bra.
This whole time the only time the two of you stopped kissing was to breathe but just like drugs the two of you were addicted to one another and you never wanted to come down from this high. You pulled away from the kiss before resting your forehead on hers before gazing into her eyes. “Why did you stop?” she panted.
“Because there are so many other places I want to kiss other than your lips” you said smirking at the woman in front of you. You pulled back ever so slightly moving Larissa’s hair out of the way of her neck before leaving a couple of open mouth kisses on her neck before letting you tongue run the length of her neck from her collarbone to her jawline.
Larissa moaned at this action before adjusting her neck further to allow you to do whatever you pleased. You licked around her jawline before kissing her chin before gazing into her eyes and giving her another small kiss on her lips. Larissa was desperate to return the favour as she pushed you back ever so slightly so she could then repeat what you did to her on yourself.
As she did this she massaged your breasts which caused you to moan and whimper ever so slightly at her touch. Larissa left plenty of open mouth kisses in the crook of your neck as she continued to worship your body with her hands. Instinctively you were doing everything in your power to bring her as close to you as possible even though that was becoming near enough impossible.
You smiled at one another as Larissa worshipped your body. You decided that you have had enough in this position so you flipped the two of you around. You quickly removed your panties before sitting back down on the bed before having Larissa straddle your lap. You let your hands travel down her back before cupping at her arse and squeezing the hell out of it. This caused her to buck her hips and grind down into you which you definitely weren’t complaining about.
You couldn’t take it much longer with Larissa kissing your neck and having her grind down into your body. You needed to feel her, you needed to taste her, you just needed everything about her. You moved Larissa so she was now laying next to you allowing yourself to lay next to her so you were laying on your side. You nuzzled into the crook of her next once more as you let your hand travel down her body. Your hand slowly made its way down her torso over the patch of blonde curls and right to her hard throbbing clit.
You lazily drew circles over her throbbing clit watching her squirm under your touch. You continued to torture her clit before slowly rubbing the tip of your finger over her entrance slowly pushing a single digit in. Larissa gasped as you entered her. “Fuck y/n, please fuck me” she moaned out.
You complied with the tall beauty as you slowly started to pump your finger in and out of her. As you did this you rested your head on her chest and slowly started to tease her nipples with your tongue. She was a moaning mess and you could tell she was getting close. You could feel her walls clenching around your fingers.
You looked up at Larissa. “Cum for me baby, cum all over my fingers, I want to be able to lick them clean for you”. Your words sent Larissa into overdrive causing her to immediately cum all over your fingers. You let her ride out her orgasm before slowly pulling your fingers from her. You placed your fingers in your mouth and sucked them clean. All Larissa could do was look at you as she came down from her high.
“Why don’t I get my strap? I would love for you to dominate me” you said to Larissa as you crawled up her body. As you sat down on her lap you felt something hard poking at you. You looked down to see a girthy 8 inch cock attached to the woman in front of you. “Oh I don’t need a strap. One advantage of being a shift shifter darling” she smirked as she lined her cock up with your aching cunt slowly pushing herself inside of you.
You gasped as she pushed herself fully inside. “Fuck Larissa your so big. Let me adjust to you” you moaned as you huddled into her neck. After a minute of letting your body adjust, Larissa ever so slowly started to thrust up into your aching core. This felt amazing and you never wanted it to stop. “Faster Larissa!” you moaned into her ear.
Larissa immediately increased her pace as she thrusted up into you. You sat back as you rested your hands on each leg. The sight Larissa must have right now watching as her cock disappears in and out of you. You threw your head back as you felt yourself getting closer and closer to the edge.
“Are you getting close, baby?” she asked you. All you could do was moan out a somewhat coherent yes. “So I am a baby. Let's cum together. I can feel you getting close, I can feel you clenching around my throbbing cock. Cum for me baby! Cum all over me” she started screaming.
It was Larissa’s words that sent you over the edge. You screamed her name as you came which caused Larissa to release her load deep inside of you causing you to gasp as you felt her feel you up. You both slowly road out the orgasm before coming to a stop.
Laissa slipped out of you before shifting her anatomy back. You laid down to the woman next to you. “That was amazing Larissa. I knew I wouldn't regret anything” you whispered as you cuddled up next to her. “I know darling. How about we just chill and watch films for the rest of the day. For once I don’t have any important business to attend to” she laughed ever so slightly.
So that was exactly what you did, cuddled up together watching horror films and snacking on junk food.

Imagine someone kidnapping you for leverage.
You left to stay with your friend in a town a few miles away - just old schoolmates getting back together. Nothing out of the ordinary but the house... it feels strange. Jax seems to be unable to sit in one place, a feeling of something missing gnawing at the back of his head. You were always there. Quiet, most of the time, hardly noticeable but your presence seemed to fill the emptiness between the walls. How strange it is for him to not have you around.
Just when boredom is about to make him reach for a thick book you had left on the coffee table, the phone rings. Jax reaches for it without much thought, half expecting you to be on the other side. He is, however, sorely mistaken:
"I have a business offer for you."
Confused and surprised, he looks at the clock hanging on the kitchen wall. It's nearing midnight.
"Who are you?" he asks.
"All in due time," the stranger answers. A hint of amusement hides in his voice. "For now, I'd like to talk about the goods."
"I never said I'd do business with you, man."
"Oh but we both know you will, Jackson Teller. Like I said, all in due time. Now, let's consider the benefits of this relationship."
Jax sighs. He's too smart to just hang up. "Alright, what do you want?"
"Nothing too big, just a few RPGs, M9s and M32-Hammers. Abo-"
"Are you serious?" Jax cuts him off. He lets out a dry chuckle of disbelief. "This is serious shit. Big guns. I don't deal that."
"I'll pretend I haven't heard that," the man's voice is suddenly low and stern, "and I'll kindly let you make a decision after you hear what you get in return."
He's even less interested in the exchange than he was before. It sounds like he might receive something big but big things, aside from being great advantages, are rather hard to remain inconspicuous. "What is it?"
"A true jackpot!" The stranger laughs in a raspy voice. His excellent mood is back. "To let your appetite grow, I'll give you a taste of the prize."
A static shuffling resounds on the other side of the call. The sound is loud enough to make Jax pull the phone away in a flinch.
Then silence.
"Jax?"
His heart stops for a moment hearing your voice - it's small, frightened. Jax can tell you're holding yourself together with all the strength you have but it's not going to last forever.
"Jesus Christ, are you alright?"
"I thinks so..." you answer unsure. It's hard to be 'alright' when one is held hostage. "I'll be fine. Just do what he asks. Please, baby, just get me home."
Before he can reassure you that he will, in fact, bring you back safe and sound, the static shuffling resounds again.
"So, Jackson, what do you think about our little deal, huh?"
"I will fucking kill you."
The stranger clears his throat. "My messenger will give you details in the morning. If as much as a hair falls off his head, the deal is off and so is the girl's head. You know what to do, Jackson. Goodbye."
Jax throws the phone across the room. It sounds like it fell apart but he's far from caring about that.
The house feels strange. Its emptiness is imposing, deafening. The ghost of you fills the vacancy once again but this time it's haunting.

Can I request Behind and Smack for the smut prompts with Dilf!Rhett?
I don't know why but I was nervous to send this in! 💕💕
tonight, i’ll be your naughty girl - dilf rhett abbott
pairing: dilf!rhett abbott x babysitter!reader
summary: friday night in a dingy motel room.
w/c: 2.4k
warnings: 18+ only. SMUT. rhett’s filthy mouth. light spanking. degradation. slight role playing? corruption kink. p in v. unprotected sex. rhett pulls out. oral (f receiving). fingering. squirting. choking. hair pulling. multiple orgasms. daddy kink. age gap (babysitter mid 20s, rhett late 30s). aftercare.
prompts: the sender takes the receiver from behind. the sender playfully smacks the receivers ass.
The overhead fluorescent light in the hallway hummed faintly, filling the silence as Rhett opened the door to your room. It wasn’t a nice place. It smelled musty, lingering scents of nicotine filtered through your nostrils. It was dirty. It made you feel dirty.
But that was the entire point.
You were the one that suggested the place, laughing at the way Rhett’s face contorted into a look of confusion. Money wasn’t an issue. He could afford the nicest hotel in the closest city. No, you wanted this. You wanted to be treated filthy. After a big fight with your brothers, you needed the reset.
You wore your most innocent dress and you didn’t miss the way Rhett’s eyes widened when he saw the pink bow in your hair. The drive to the motel was quiet, the radio playing softly. The engine of the old beat up truck he still owned roared as you drove down the highway. Rhett took a few drags from his cigarette, the moonlight danced off his gray temples. He was sneaking glances at you, a crooked smile causing butterflies to erupt in your stomach. The vacancy sign flashed bright red as you pulled into the gravel parking lot.
The receptionist was a pig, if the way his eyes roamed your body told you anything.
“Check-out’s at 9. Have fun,” he grinned and Rhett gave him a look that said everything. The guy wiped whatever thoughts he was having from his brain instantly.
The room wasn’t terrible. The furniture was old and there were a few tiny holes in the carpet that you knew had to be from ashes. The light barely worked. It flickered a few times when Rhett flipped the switch and it eventually cast a hazy glow around the area. The queen sized bed looked comfortable and clean at least.
“Well… it certainly isn’t the Ritz,” Rhett mumbled. He shucked off his jacket and tossed it on the back of the chair that was pushed against the wooden table. You fiddled with the hem of your dress, trying your best to look more nervous than eager.
“It’s- it’s okay,” you uttered meekly. “I just like being with you.”
You were putting on an act and Rhett noticed.
It certainly wasn’t the first time you had fucked. You had been together for nearly a year. But he knew you needed this. He knew you needed to escape reality even if it was just for a little while.
“Oh, sweet baby. C’mere.” Rhett’s arms welcomed you into a warm hug. It was innocent enough - until his hands started wandering. The tips of his pinkies brushed along the bottom of your spine, moving until his large hands grabbed your ass fully. It made you gasp and sent you tumbling into him. A low hum escaped him as he felt your chest press against his.
“You’re a pretty little thing, you know that?” His words flustered you. You couldn’t look him in the eyes. Rhett knew you inside and out, knew you better than anyone. But standing here now, in the middle of a motel room miles from town, something felt different.
“Th- thank you,” you stuttered out as your eyes finally met his own. His pupils were blown wide, black swallowing the blue irises almost entirely. “Mr. Abbott-“
“Call me Rhett. I’ve told you that a thousand times.”
“Right. Sorry. Rhett, what are we gonna do here?” You asked, running your fingers along the collar of his t-shirt. He smiled a devilish grin as he kneaded your cheeks. Your breath hitched as those hands gathered the material of your dress and held it above your waist. He stepped back to examine the sight before him.
“Well… first, I’m gonna bury my face between your thighs. Get your sweet taste on my tongue. Then, I’m gonna get you ready to take my cock. Slide my fingers inside you until you’re crying for it. I’ll get you on your hands and knees, make you watch me fuck you in that mirror right over there. Does that sound alright, baby?”
Your thighs rubbed together at his crude words, a movement that didn’t go unnoticed. He laughed darkly as he watched you squirm. He released your dress, letting it fan over your hips once more. He tutted at your lack of response.
“I asked you a question,” he growled. Rhett gripped your cheeks, causing your lips to purse slightly.
“Please, Rhett,” you pleaded, words muffled. He patted your cheek gently before pulling you into a frantic kiss. His tongue slid into your mouth fervently, controlling every movement. Rhett’s strong grip tugged at your dress until he was nearly ripping it at the seams, hurriedly trying to get you naked.
“So fucking beautiful, sweetheart. Is this all for me?” His eyes roamed over your form, now standing before him in nothing but the white lace you had purchased for this special night. Rhett reached forward to palm at your breasts through the material, pinching a hardened nipple between his thumb and finger. “What a naughty girl. Dressing up like this for an old man like me. You’d let me do anything I wanted, wouldn’t you?”
His voice ran deep and raspy, a telltale sign that he was turned on beyond repair. A door slammed down the hall which made you jump into Rhett’s arms once more. A low chuckle vibrated in his chest and against your own.
“Where do you want me?” You asked hesitantly, still trying to act timid. Rhett nodded towards the bed and you sauntered to the edge, sitting down and placing your folded hands in your lap. He made his way over to you, squatting down in front of you to look you in the eyes. Fire burned behind those cobalt blues.
“You know what to say if it gets to be too much, right?”
“Yes, daddy.”
“Tell me. So I know you remember, sweet girl,” his warm palm cupped your cheek gently.
“Bronco,” you whispered.
“That’s my good girl. Scoot up. Back against the headboard,” he commanded, slipping back into his role. “Want you to watch me while I bury my tongue inside you.”
You moved hastily into position, back propped against the wooden posts. Your thighs spread involuntarily as Rhett removed his shirt with one hand, his jeans following shortly after. Even through the material of his boxer briefs, you could see how uncomfortably hard he was. You were sure that if you were to pull them down, he’d be leaking from the head. It made your mouth water at the thought.
Rhett crawled up the bed, arms and back muscles flexing deliciously. He wasted no time mouthing at you through the lacy fabric of your panties. Nipping at your clit teasingly until you were a blubbering mess.
“I said watch me,” he mumbled into your drenched lips.
“I am,” you said sarcastically, earning a sharp slap to your thigh.
“In the mirror… little brat.”
You looked up to the dresser to see your reflection staring back at you. Rhett had your thighs thrown over his shoulders, one of his own legs propped out and bent at the knee to dive deeper into you. He pulled the panties aside to lick into your dripping hole, thrusting the muscle in and out languidly. You looked into the mirror once more to see Rhett’s hips canting against the stiff mattress slightly. He was getting off on this just as much as you were.
That sight alone was enough to send you over the edge. Your fingered carded through the long locks and pulled, riding out your high as his nose brushed against your bundle of nerves with each shake of his head.
Rhett made no move to stop his mouth, instead suctioning his lips to your clit and sucking until you came for a second time - and then a third. He didn’t let up until your thighs were quivering around his head.
“Daddy! Please! I- it’s too much!” you exclaimed, not caring about the people in the room next to you. Rhett pulled back enough to look up at you with hooded eyes, like he was drunk on the taste of you.
“Can you give me one more? Wanna make sure you’re good and ready for me,” he said.
You nodded weakly, tears welling up in your eyes at the oversensitivity. Rhett went back to work, this time his fingers joined him. He thrusted his middle finger and ring finger inside of you at a brutal pace, hitting the right spot every time. You were nearly screaming within seconds, gushing around his mouth and fingers as you came once more.
Your mouth fell open in a silent scream, lungs feeling like they were in a vice grip. Stars filled your vision and your body jerked sporadically as Rhett massaged your thighs and hips with his unoccupied hand. You came down slowly, whimpering loudly as he pulled his fingers away from you.
“God, baby. You’re so- fuck, you’re so sexy. My perfect little girl,” Rhett muttered, kissing your thigh. His face was soaked. You could feel the wet spot beneath you. He shushed you as you whined when his mouth ascended up your body, stubble scratching against your skin roughly. He kissed your ribs, right at the spot he knew you were ticklish. Grinning against you as you giggled quietly.
During his feast, you had shuffled down the bed; head now resting upon the flattened pillows. Rhett hovered over you, damp hair brushing across your cheeks as he leaned down to kiss you.
You could taste yourself on his tongue and that made you clench pathetically around nothing. It was filthy and you loved every second of it.
“You okay?” Rhett asked sincerely as he pulled back from your lips, eyes searching yours for any hesitation.
“M’all good. Just need a few moments,” you answered honestly.
“Take all the time you need, honey. We’ve got all night.”
You laid there for a while, lazily kissing in the dim lit room. Rhett’s body weight provided a sense of comfort, calming you down until you stopped twitching.
“Daddy,” you whispered against his mouth.
“Yeah, babygirl?”
“I’m ready. I want you to take me. Make me yours,” you said, looking up at him with pleading eyes. He growled into your neck, rutting his hard cock onto you.
He kneeled back on his heels, yanking your panties down haphazardly and pulling you up to unhook your bra with one hand - leaving you completely bare; putting you on display. Rhett palmed at himself through his boxers before maneuvering them off awkwardly.
You were right. The red tip was leaking profusely, a few droplets of precum ran down along the side of his aching member. You absentmindedly reached forward to catch a little with your finger, bringing it to your mouth and moaning around the digit at his taste. Salty and musky and all Rhett. It made you crave more.
“You drive me crazy, little Tillerson. I swear you’re gonna be the death of me,” Rhett said windedly.
Rhett manhandled you around the bed, pulling you up on your hands and knees; facing the mirror that adorned the dresser. His hands roamed over your back; your hips; your ass. He landed a quick slap there, smirking as it jolted you forward.
“I’ll save that for another night.”
He gripped his cock at the base, pumping it a few times before nudging your hole with the tip. He slid it through your folds in a few fleeting sweeps, ignoring your begging.
As he lined himself up, his hands crawled up your back to grab ahold of your shoulders and pulled you back onto him; slamming into you with great force. It made you moan wantonly, hitting that spot inside of you with perfect aim.
Rhett wrapped one veiny hand around your throat to hold your head back, making you stare right at the mirror. His hips pounded into you at a brutal pace, the squeaky springs on the mattress joined the sounds of skin slapping and guttural moans.
“Fuckin’ take it. Take it, sweet girl. So good for daddy. Goddamn it, you’re squeezing me so tight,” Rhett mumbled in your ear, grip tightening around your neck. He caught your eyes in the reflection and the look you saw there knocked the wind out of you.
“You gonna cum again? Greedy baby. Can’t get enough of it, can you? Watch yourself. Watch how you fall apart on daddy’s cock.”
Between his words and the way he abused your cervix, you couldn’t last. You came once more around him, warm liquid running down your thighs as a pinched shriek released from your throat.
You fell onto your elbows, bones feeling like jelly as Rhett continued his ministrations. Drool pooled out of your mouth and onto the comforter as his thrusts became erratic - desperate. He was close and in that moment it hit you that he never put a condom on.
Rhett seemed to realize that as well because once his grunts turned into moans - near whines - he pulled out of you swiftly. Tugging roughly at his cock until warm spurts of cum spread across your ass and lower back. He shouted out a curse, maybe even your name, you couldn’t tell from the way your heartbeat thudded in your ear.
He slumped forward across your back, breathing heavily in your ear as he came down from his own high. You laid like that until you couldn’t breathe yourself, pushing at him to move. He kissed your shoulder softly before rolling off of you.
“Rhett,” you whined quietly.
“Shh, baby. I’ll be right back, okay? Gotta get you cleaned up.”
He was back within mere seconds, warm washcloth dancing over your back and relaxing you tremendously. He whispered praises in your ear as he cleaned between your legs, shushing you once more when you whimpered at the feeling.
Rhett laid beside you after tossing the rag to the other side of the room, not caring where it landed. He traced invisible shapes across your skin as you hummed in content.
“Rhett?”
“Yeah, honey?”
“Thank you for this…”
“Of course, baby. You feeling any better? Did it help take your mind off of everything?” He questioned, tucking a stray strand of hair behind your ear.
You nodded before curling yourself into his side, kissing the scar on his shoulder.
“Do we have to stay here all night?” You asked, finally looking around the dingy room.
“No, we don’t. C’mon. Let me take my girl home.”
Rhett always, always took care of his girl.

Sebastian Vettel: Four-time F1 world champion 'speaking to' Mercedes boss Toto Wolff amid thoughts of return to grid
Sebastian Vettel says he is thinking about making a return to Formula 1 amid ongoing discussions with Mercedes boss Toto Wolff and the sport's other team principals.
The four-time world champion retired in 2022 after 16 seasons in F1, but has since been regularly linked with a possible return to the grid. Mercedes have a 2025 seat to fill following Lewis Hamilton's decision to join Ferrari, while Red Bull, the team Vettel won his four drivers' titles with, could also have a vacancy with Sergio Perez's contract expiring. Asked whether he is in the market for a 2025 seat, Vettel told Sky Sports News: "Well, potentially I am because I haven't got a drive, but the question is, am I looking for one? I think it depends on the package. I retired from Formula 1 not to come back, but I also did say that you never know, so I think it still stands. Obviously there's things that I miss, which is mostly the competition, and things that I don't miss, so that hasn't changed. Obviously life is very different if you're not involved, and I do enjoy that still. You never know where life is taking you, so maybe it takes me back behind the wheel, maybe it doesn't." Having earlier confirmed to Sky News that he has been "speaking to" Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, Vettel was asked whether he would be able to resist the lure of an offer from the Silver Arrows. He said: "I've had conversations with him (Wolff), not really about the seat. We did speak about the whole situation in short, as well. But I did speak to others, as well, because I'm still keeping in touch every now and then. I have some projects and ideas together with F1. We'll see if they will turn out or not. So I am staying in touch. I don't know. It has to be a couple more phone calls and conversations, I guess, to really find out a little bit more. But for sure it's one of the best seats on the grid. Performance-wise, Mercedes has a great track record, struggling a little bit in the last years, but then struggle and you're still second and third in the constructors', it's not like you're racing in no man's land."
Vettel tempted by Le Mans opportunity
If he were to return to F1, Vettel would currently only be the third-eldest driver on the grid, with the 39-year-old Hamilton and 42-year-old Fernando Alonso still performing at a high level. Asked what he has missed since hanging up his helmet, Vettel added: "The thrill, the speed. I think the competition mostly, really. Driving quick is not the only thing, but it's really the competition." Vettel recently tested the Porsche hypercar that will run in this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans race in June. The German said there's a possibility he could make his debut in the famous race. "Maybe. I don't know yet," Vettel said. "I've been testing. I was curious, so I wanted to see how it feels. It's obviously a different discipline. It's still racing, but it's a different car, different discipline. Lots of things that excite me, lots of different things, not necessarily just looking at something behind the wheel, but also outside the car. I am (tempted) and I'm not. I am obviously also looking for lots of other things and there's lots of other things that do interest me outside of racing."
'Hamilton Ferrari switch surprising but exciting'
Having shared intense world championship battles earlier in their careers, Vettel and Hamilton had developed a strong relationship by the time the former retired. With Hamilton set to follow in Vettel's footsteps by driving at Ferrari, the German admitted he was "surprised" by the switch. "I was surprised, like I guess most of us," Vettel said. "But exciting. Obviously he's looking for a new challenge, and it will be different to see him in red, in a different colour." The final two of Vettel's six seasons with Ferrari saw him drive alongside Charles Leclerc, who remains with the Italian team and will be Hamilton's teammate next year. Vettel is confident the pair will get along, but warns Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur will face a challenge in managing their competitiveness. "Charles is good, Charles is easy," Vettel said. "He's very quick, very competitive, but so is Lewis, so it's more difficult, I guess, for the team to manage."

thoughts on The Casual Vacancy?
I love The Casual Vacancy, though i haven't read it in a long time! One of my strongest memories of it is reading the ending while on holiday at the beach and running to hide in my small camping tent because i didn't want people to see me crying 🤣
It's a book that stands on its own, but my favourite way to read it (and i don't know how JKR would feel about this; hopefully not too bad!) is as a continuity of HP's themes. You often see criticism these days about how, at the end of Harry Potter, "nothing has changed". Voldemort is gone, but the structure of the world is the same: there's the Ministry, there's the school with all its four houses. The fight against corruption at the Ministry and to change mentalities about the Muggle born is implied, but not clearly stated, and the way to get there is skipped over. This is an ending fit for children, but as an adult (and Harry Potter is narratively constructed to accompany the child in their journey towards adulthood; you are meant to finish Deathly Hallows in a significantly different state of mind than you did when you started Sorcerer's Stone), you would be tempted to ask, "but is it that simple though? Is the evil truly vainquished?"
Well imo The Casual Vacancy addresses that question full on, and brutally. It's like Jo was like, "alright, now you are all adults. Here's how shit happens in real life."
The story starts by killing the hero off in a cruel and undignified way. Barry Fairbrother is obviously a cheeky nod at Harry, but beyond that, he is almost stereotypically "heroic" with JKR's standards in mind: physically, he has the ginger hair - JKR is very fond of redheads -, the small unassuming but still athletic stature, simple clothing and "kind" face; socially, he comes from poverty - lived in a caravan at some point with his siblings and only his mother in the picture - but thanks to a combinaison of good support and social policies, managed to escape it and now gives back to the community by being politically involved. He's also a good husband and father, can relate with teenagers, has a sense of humour that puts people at ease, etc. He's basically the Lily Potter / Margot Bamborough of TCV, but unlike them, he isn't assassinated, his death is all natural. In TCV, life is just unfair like that. The evil can't be killed because it's not a person, it's intangible and yet very real. It's the greed of the Pagford inhabitants, the fear of the other, the violence of poverty. The characters who have been dealt a bad hand don't get to escape just because you like them.
In Harry Potter we mostly follow the story from a unique perspective. In TCV, everyone gets their share of the narrative, which means all the private frustrations, all the ugliness which were previously only implied in HP are fully disclosed. Wives are disatisfied with their husbands and secretly fantasise about teenage boys band members, husbands cheat with neighbours or colleagues, kids ressent their parents for fair or unfair reasons, self-harm or harm others in retaliation. Everyone is acting for selfish reasons far more than for the common good, even in the camp of those trying to do good. There's rape and drug addiction and racism and child abuse. It's all very, very raw and bleak.
What's to be taken from this is, i think, that JKR is not a person who believes in systems or would rely entirely on them to guarantee fairness in society. The novel is in a very real sense a plea for socialism, and the policies Barry Fairbrother fights for are good and just and work, but he is also fatally alone in his dedication, and when he dies it all falls apart. Of the novel, JKR said:
"This is a book about responsibility. In the minor sense—how responsible we are for our own personal happiness, and where we find ourselves in life—but in the macro sense also, of course: how responsible we are for the poor, the disadvantaged, other people’s misery."
And indeed in the story, most characters don't want to take on the responsibility Barry was shouldering, or they want it out of greed. And that is a very adult topic, isn't it? That is in fact the definition of accomplished adulthood: being responsible for your actions, taking charge of things when they must be done. Anyway, i really like that contrast with HP (as the quintessential "growing up" series) and that connection between the two.

Kalla | Choi San || Chapter 31
MASTERLIST Previous || Next
Pairings: CEO!San x fem!reader
Genre: smut, angst, fluff, strangers to lovers.
Warnings: dom!San, sub!reader, voyeourism, use of sex toys, bondage, dirty talk, BDSM, exhibitionism, rough sex.
Summary: She was surprised by how fast her life went from the perfect fairytale to the destructive mess it had turned into. Dealing with a cheater ex boyfriend, having to move out to a different place because the house she lived in belonged to that man she once dreamed of spending the rest of her life with, while continuously being underappreciated at work... It was as if life was telling her to stop dreaming big, to go back to her small town, Bibury, and help her parents run the small farm her family had owned for decades.
At least until she received a call from her friend.
A sudden vacancy as an assistant showed up on one of her friend's system, having her being encouraged to take that big step and apply for it. She had no hopes for it. Mainly because she didn't have any experience on the field, and she didn't comply with most of the requirements that were added on the offer -and which most of them sounded ridiculous and exaggerated for the position, making her wonder who was the freak who needed so many guidelines in order to hire someone to pick up the phone and schedule events.
Although that hotel she'd be working on was much more than anything she could've come up with.
Choi San wasn't someone easy to deal with. After his previous assistant presented his resignation letter on his desk, he felt forced to start the whole selection process again -after merely two months.
Sure that he was being way too strict, enough to find that anyone who applied for the position wasn't enough, he asked one of his friends to be in charge of the interviews and the selection of the most adequate candidate.
Little did he know Wooyoung would hire the imperfectly perfect candidate for him, sure that she'd help him in many ways other than just in dealing with the responsibilities of his position.
A new challenge will come their way as soon as she steps inside the hotel.
Y/n will have to learn how to mold onto him and deal with all his small habits and requirements, and San will find himself trying to open up and let out all those same things that turned him into the person he was.
The more she digs in Kalla and all of its secrets and exciting corners, the deeper she'll dive into San's heart and soul... Although, maybe, she won't be able to take it.
Kalla opens its doors to you, sharing the vast amount of filthy and erotic plans it offers, and that you can join with a partner... Or maybe just by yourself.
Hope you enjoy your stay.
Chapter duration: 21 minutes
Chapter warnings: smut, dirty talk, dom!San, use of collar, symbols of BDSM, marking, rough sex, protected sex
Her eyebrows frowned as he passed the street to her place, instantly dedicating a confused look at him while she waited for an answer without asking the question.
—I told you I had a surprise for you —he momentarily looked at her—. And it's not in your house.
—Can I get a hint of what it is?
—No.
Y/n thought he'd be easy to convince, she thought his denial would go along a playful tone that gave away that if she insisted a little, he'd say what the surprise was. But there was none of that in his tone.
—Can I try to get a hint of what it is? —her voice turned suggestive as she slipped her hand over his inner thigh.
San didn't move, he didn't even flinch, yet he was fighting all her inner needs to let her unzip his pants and do wonders with her mouth. And even then, he wasn't going to ruin the surprise by telling her what he had bought for her.
—Do you want to be kneeling facing the corner with your hands up high? —he warned her, instantly getting her to move her hand away— Patience is a virtue.
—Said the person who spanked me in his office —she mumbled.
—And if you keep on like this, the person who'll spank you in his car.
Yet his gaze didn't show any kind of threat, there wasn't a trace of it, instead he smirked when he saw her smiling, playfulness radiating through his pupils for a brief second before his eyes were back on the road.
—I can't believe you had me naked with you inside, with the door open —she scoffed, looking through the window.
—Yet every time I moved, I could feel how much you enjoyed it —he teased back.
—What would've happened if someone had knocked?
She didn't think about it when he was balls deep in her. She was too lost in his scent, the speed of his fingers on the keyboard and the way he tensed his muscles under her whenever she unconsciously clenched around him. But now she did think about it, aware of how she'd have had no escape if someone had tried to step inside.
—I'd have told you to kneel under the table and take my cock in your mouth —his eyes were briefly back on her, eyebrow raising with mockery—. A bit late to think about that though.
After a long way back home, they finally arrived at San's apartment, the low hum of city noise fading as the door clicked shut behind them. Y/n slipped off her shoes, her tired feet grateful for the plush carpet beneath her. San walked over to the kitchen area, turning back to glance at her with his usual calm, collected expression.
—Can I get something to drink? —she asked, her voice gentle as she walked towards the isle.
—You don't have to ask —San motioned towards the fridge, signaling for her to help herself.
She grinned, pushing her body away from the counter, her eyes scanning the pristine kitchen, everything perfectly in its place. As she opened the fridge, though, she was met with a sight that caught her off guard: almost nothing inside. A bottle of water, some leftover takeout containers, and a lone carton of milk. She chuckled softly to herself.
—So... —she teased, raising an eyebrow as she turned to him— I don't have to ask because there's nothing?
The fact that he wasn't even aware of how empty it was just took her to the realization that he didn't open it, at all. And if he did, he probably was too into his business to take a deep look at it.
San, who had been leaning casually against the counter, offered a small smirk, but there was a flicker of something else -an almost sheepish look.
—It's not like I'm here too much time —he admitted with a shrug—. And, in my defense, I'll say it's been a crazy week.
Y/n grabbed the bottle of water, pouring herself a glass as she mused aloud.
—You know, going grocery shopping can be fun. Some people find it... romantic —she casually mentioned, remembering their drunk conversation.
—Romantic? —San raised an eyebrow at that.
—Yeah —she nodded, her tone playful—. Yeah. Like, planning meals together, picking out ingredients, and walking around the store, hand in hand. It's kind of cute, don't you think? You'd be surprised how much it can feel like a couple's thing. You get to really know a person with how they act in a supermarket.
He knew she wasn't being serious when she said that, but still he felt tempted to give it a try. He considered her words for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly as if a plan was forming in his mind. Then, out of nowhere, he suggested:
—How about tomorrow we go to the supermarket together?
—Now? —Y/n blinked, caught off guard by his sudden proposition— You want to go shopping together? I thought you had other plans.
—Not now —the corners of his mouth twitched upward, while he shook his head with amusement—. Tomorrow, maybe—he gave a light shrug.
The image of San strolling through the aisles, pushing a cart and debating which fruits to buy, seemed absurd in her mind. She couldn't help but laugh.
—You, grocery shopping? I can't picture it.
—You will —he countered, his voice cool but tinged with a playful edge—. Tomorrow morning, actually.
Her laughter softened, a smile lingering on her lips. There was something endearing about the way he was trying to meet her halfway, despite how out of character it seemed. She'd never imagined San -the meticulous man he was- doing something so mundane as grocery shopping. But the thought that he was willing to try it, for her, made the moment feel unexpectedly intimate.
—Well then —she said, raising her glass to him with a grin—, I guess we have a grocery date tomorrow.
San's smirk widened just a fraction as he pushed off the counter and moved closer to her. Taking the glass from her hand, he gently placed it back on the counter, before he was able to trap her body in between his arms.
He was so close to feel her lips on his, to feel her warm breath on his cupid's arch, but she moved back before he could.
—No surprise, no kiss.
—No kiss, no surprise —he fought back.
—If I kiss you...
—If you kiss me like you mean it, I'll give it to you right away.
She didn't need to be encouraged with a surprise for her to do it, she meant every kiss she gave that man. It was impossible to fake how bad she wanted him, simply because she did want him, she craved him with every touch of their lips and every slick of tongue.
—Did I kiss you like I meant it?
Her question sounded husky, out of breath, while her fingers tried to hold onto his vest. Instead of answering, San intertwined their fingers together, guiding her to his room. There was a beige paper bag over the edge of his bed, and next to it a small black box.
She went for the bag first, surprised when she found an emerald silk dress on the inside, but losing her breath when she lifted her hands to see it completely, finding the buttons on the back.
—I know it'll fit your curves so well —he carefully took the dress from her hands, motioning her to get naked with one small movement from his head—. I just couldn't stop picturing you in this when I saw it.
Her breath was cut when she felt his fingerprints brushing her skin, moving from her wrists to her shoulders in such a slow pace that she was convinced he was torturing her, with the excuse that he was helping her with the thin straps..
—But do you know what I love the most? —he whispered in her ear when she turned around, her naked back facing him— You can't put this on yourself, and you can't take it off yourself either. Everyone who looks at you will know I helped you put it on, but they also will know I'll be the one taking it off tonight.
Y/n's lips escaped a sigh when the reverse of his index traced her spin all the way up, before he linked the two extremes of fabric that were hanging on her shoulders. He buttoned up the back slowly, enjoying every squirm of her body when his fingers subtly touched her skin.
That dress hugged her curves like a second skin, with the pencil silhouette falling right over her knee.
—What's in the box? —she finally turned to him— A personalized toy?
She was joking, but San's smirk let her know she wasn't as far fetched as she thought. Finally stepping back from her, he bent over to reach the black box and hand it to her.
Y/n looked up at him, curiosity glimmering in her eyes before she took his gift. She gently opened the box, revealing a stunning thin and polished silver eternity collar, its design sleek and sophisticated. The simple elegance of it made her breath catch for a moment.
—It's an eternity collar —San explained quietly—. Unlike the ones you saw in the clubs, this one is more difficult to put on and take off.
It was a statement, but not too bold -something she could wear every day without it standing out to anyone who didn't understand its significance. And its significance, she'd belong to him wherever she was, and that necklace would be a reminder of it.
—It's a symbol of commitment. I had it made for you —her eyes shined when looking back at him—. I know you aren't ready, and I didn't expect you to wear it yet. But I wanted to let you know that it'll be waiting for you, for when you're ready...
Before he could finish, Y/n cut him off, her voice soft but resolute.
—Put it on me.
San blinked, caught off guard by her words. For a brief moment, he just stared at her, as if he was processing what she'd just said. He hadn't expected her to be so sure, so immediate.
—What? —he asked, his voice a little quieter now, the seriousness of the moment not lost on him— Are you sure?
Y/n met his gaze, unwavering.
—Yes —she said simply, her fingers gently brushing the surface of the collar—. I want you to put it on me.
There was a long pause as they both locked eyes, the weight of the gesture sinking in. Then, with a slow, deliberate motion, San stepped closer to her, taking the collar from the box. His hands were steady, but there was a tenderness in the way he lifted it, the cool metal glinting under the warm lights of his room..
—As you please —he said softly, his voice barely above a whisper as he moved behind her.
Y/n tilted her head slightly, exposing her neck as San gently placed the collar around it, fastening it with quiet precision. She could feel the warmth of his fingers brushing against her skin as he moved his fingers to adjust the collar with the small screwdriver that came with the box, making sure it sat just right. The touch was intimate, even in its simplicity, and for a moment, everything else seemed to fade away.
When he finished, San stood back, his gaze lingering on the collar now resting around her neck. There was something unreadable in his expression -pride, possessiveness or, maybe, something deeper. Y/n reached up, her fingers lightly tracing the cool metal, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
—It looks even better on you —San said, his voice softer now, as though he was speaking more to himself than to her—. Everything in you, from head to toe, screams that you're mine tonight.
Y/n looked up at him, her eyes warm.
—Just tonight?
—You have no idea how you're the one who has me under your control, and not the other way around.
—I love that —she murmured, the collar resting comfortably around her neck like a secret only the two of them shared.
The air between them felt different now, heavier but in a way that felt right. Neither of them said anything for a few moments, but words weren't needed. The gesture spoke louder than anything they could have said.
After leaving the restaurant, both Y/n and San felt a sense of ease between them that hadn't been there before. Dinner had been unexpectedly pleasant. Over dishes of delicious food, they had found themselves talking more freely, sharing little stories about their lives, likes, and random quirks. San, though usually reserved, seemed to soften with each passing moment, opening up about his experiences in London, and how he ended up where he was today. Y/n, in turn, had shared pieces of her life -her friends, her childhood, and her funny tales from work, earning more than just one disgusted look when hearing about her colleagues.
The conversation flowed naturally, laughter bubbling up between them as they got to know each other beyond the intensity of their usual dynamic. It was light, even fun at times, as San surprised her with subtle humor and sharp observations.
As they finished their meal, the comfortable silence that fell over them wasn't heavy or awkward -it was the kind of silence that came from two people who had spent the evening truly enjoying each other's company.
When they returned to San's apartment, the air had shifted slightly. The night had cooled, and the city outside his windows seemed far away, leaving just the two of them in the quiet space.
It was as if their connection outside of the bed had increased the way he wanted to surrender to her. And he made sure she knew, trapping her against the door at his entrance to kiss her passionately. And he only broke that kiss to start another one, holding her waist carefully as he stuck their bodies together, her arms immediately went up around his shoulders, making sure there wouldn't be a gap between them.
He squeezed her side one last time before he made her body turn facing the door. He first touched the place where her collar was locked, slowly moving down her spine to start unbuttoning her dress with such delicacy and intimacy she thought she'd faint.
—You should've seen the way everybody looked at you tonight —with every button off, his mouth left an open-mouthed kiss on the new exposed skin—. Everything in you screamed you were mine.
—I was aware —she answered, feeling San kneeling behind her—. And I really liked it.
She omitted a gasp when his tongue licked her entrance over her panties, before pulling from the last button and getting up to let the fabric fall in front of her. His hand rolled around her throat, forcing her face back on him to be able to kiss her, his tongue finding every corner and almost making her lose her balance. Y/n supported her weight on her hands against the door, although that didn't last long before he forced her hands back on him.
—I want your hands only on me —he whispered, before moving her hands up around his neck.
Feeling his soft hair on her fingers, as she made a mess of it, while his finger dug under her panties to meet her wetness gave her a new kind of rush she wasn't able to control.
A low giggle left her lips, at the same time her body moved further against his, rubbing her ass against his pelvis, his growing bulge was starting to press against his jeans with every move she made, and his mind was starting to get clouded with filthy thoughts.
Her cheeks were burning, her blood was pumping through her veins at a crazy speed when he broke the kiss to look at her while his fingertips kept brushing on her clit.
—The way I want you is so out of my control —he mumbled—. Shit, but if I don't love the way it feels...
His kiss was demanding, and even furious, barely giving her time to get used to the speed and intensity of it, after he made her turn around again. He lifted her easily, wrapping her legs around his waist.
San walked blindly to his room, making sure his lips would never leave her mouth until he left her on his bed. She looked up to him from that new position, waiting for a command, waiting for the instructions of what would come next. But instead, she saw him getting naked, with his heavy gaze never leaving her eyes, making sure she knew that he belonged to her as much as she belonged to him.
She squeezed the sheets under her, already feeling lost with her body responding involuntarily to his actions. Her back arched unconsciously, reacting to the way his tongue swirled around her hard button before his lips trapped it, offering herself to him, showing him how ready he was for anything he could give to her.
His eyes were closed as he sucked her in, moving from one breast to the other, while his hands held her by her waist to hold her and encourage her as she kept moving to feel closer. At some point, his teeth trapped one of her nipples. He kept teasing her, sucking, biting, licking, at the same time his fingers moved freely over her naked skin and messed around with her panties soaked in her arousal. She had been waiting too long for that moment, she needed him, and he only teased her, making her wonder how long she'd be able to go like that. But he wasn't testing her, he was enjoying every second he could have her body surrendering to him.
The environment in that small space was so thick, they both were sure they weren't able to breathe properly due to it. They both wanted each other, in a new way that crossed any meanings of intimate he had known until date. It was all visible on how sloppy their moves and kisses were, and how they didn't care about anything that wasn't the way the other tasted and felt.
It was so different from the way their sessions were, because he wasn't taking her to bed to dominate her and get her to let him have all the control. He was taking her to bed because he craved her, he wanted their connection to reach a new level.
They both released a relief gasp when he sank in her depths as soon as he wrapped himself. San moved his hips slowly, enjoying the feeling of her walls taking him in as if he belonged there. So wet, so warm, and so ready for him that if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to take her to the edge, he probably would've pounded into her like a wild animal that had been deprived from his pleasure for years.
His hands moved over her body, one on her right leg to keep her spread for him, while the other traced caring touches all over her body. And it was such a delightful sight to see her that way. Losing herself to him, giving up on every bit of power she had because she put herself in his hands was astonishing, but her knowing he would take care of her the best way no one ever has added a new perspective on sex he had never known.
He wasn't even fucking her the way they both needed, it wasn't the type of sex they both were used to, but it felt so good either way only because they were doing each other.
Y/n broke one of the several kisses to speak, voice shaky from pleasure.
—I want to mark you.
San was sure she felt him twitch when she said those words, feeling excited to know they both were on the same page.
Instead of answering with words, San moved a bit lower, hiding his face in the curve of her neck.
—Do it —he bit her earlobe—. I will wear all those marks with pride.
Y/n bit her lip, moving her hands up his wide back, before she tilted her head to bite and suck on one spot between his shoulders and his beck, earning one hard thrust from him that made their bodies clap.
Feeling encouraged, she only moved up, trying to leave all those marks like a road from his jaw to his collarbone. Every time he felt her teeth on him, he pulled back, almost taking his tip out, before he sank into her again.
—Do it again —he dared her.
—Hmm, I think it's enough with that...
While she parted her lips to speak, her voice got stuck in her throat as two of his fingers rubbed against her clit in circles, slowly driving her to her peak, only to be pushed back down as soon as she was able to touch it with the tip of her fingers.
—I could do this all night, Y/n —San threatened her.
—Why do you want those marks so bad all of a sudden?
—Because I want everyone to know I already have someone giving me all that I need without having to speak to them.
If he had said that since the very beginning, she'd have covered him in red marks from head to toe.
She did as she was told, imitating the same kisses on the other side of his neck, dragging her nails down his back when his thrusts went back to the same power he started with.
Their moans, the bed squeaks, the skin clapping, and the desperate gasps for air were only a small hint of how intense it all was. She felt like floating with every thrust, feeling her lower back hitting the mattress with each move, forced to hold onto his wrists for some stability as she slowly went insane.
San held her hand at some point, intertwining their hands together over her head, prolonging that limbo state that wouldn't allow their brains to function properly until it was over. And he kept her in that position, folded as he fucked into her, easily accessible for him to kiss her lips and close enough to get drunk of all of her expressions as pleasure ruled over her.
Able to recognize the way her neck tensed, and how her walls clenched around him, he kept her from reaching her high before she was even able to ask for it. He demanded her to hold it back for a little longer and wait for him, squeezing her flesh by how close he felt as soon as her hands moved towards his ass cheeks to feel his muscles tense every time he pounded.
—You're so good waiting for me —he groaned.
Her fingers moved up over his shoulder and back, reaching a soft spot on the back of his neck the moment she squeezed his nape.
—San, I can't wait much longer —her voice cracked.
—Cum now —he groaned, resting his forehead against her chin while her head was thrown back.
The sync of their sounds made them both feel eager to go back at it again, not even bothering to get some energy or air back.
They found themselves walking down the aisles of the local supermarket. Y/n pushed the cart while San walked beside her, scanning the shelves with his usual intensity, as if picking the right groceries required the same focus as running his business.
They moved through the store, filling the cart with essentials, but it wasn't long before Y/n noticed how serious San seemed about it all. He studied each item they picked up, occasionally asking her opinion, making sure they were choosing things they both liked. She found it oddly sweet, how he was putting so much thought into something as simple as grocery shopping.
When they reached the snack aisle, she couldn't help but let out a small laugh as San reached for a box of her favorite snacks -something she hadn't even mentioned to him.
—How did you know? —she said, raising an eyebrow.
—I pay attention —San shrugged casually, though there was a hint of a smile on his face—. You always have a bag of these on your desk.
They continued through the store, their conversation light and easy, filled with playful teasing and laughter. It was surprising, how natural it felt -walking through a supermarket together, picking out groceries like any other couple. And despite the simplicity of the situation, there was something intimate about it. Y/n felt herself growing more comfortable around him, more at ease with this new side of him.
—Do you want some ramen? —she suggested.
—I don't really eat processed food.
She was aware.
The inside of the cart consisted of meat, vegetables and spices. And the only snacks they got were the ones he picked for her.
—Oh...
—Why? Do you want?
—No —she shook her head—. I was just thinking that maybe we could cook some ramen, eat those snacks and watch a movie tonight, but...
She didn't have to say much more before his hand picked up two packs of the ramen she had pointed out, leaving them on the cart without saying a word, before he pulled from the other side of the cart to get her walking.
Although that smile didn't last long, before they heard a feminine voice calling his name again.
—Oh my god, San.
In front of them there was a woman, who probably was their age, caressing his upper arm fondly, with a kind smile while she looked at him with loving eyes.
Y/n didn't want to inaugurate that new side of their relationship with a jealous scene, but why was her heart pumping against her chest so fast? And why did her skin feel hotter with every rub of her thin thumb on the thick fabric of his gray coat?
Only after a few seconds, she had noticed how disconnected from the conversation she was.
She wasn't sure if she should interrupt that moment, or just wait. Although she didn't need to hawk or do something to catch their attention, because San made sure to involve her in the conversation.
That insecurity or fear suddenly washed away when he looked at her with those loving eyes, slightly closing over the edges when he smiled as he stretched his hand towards her. She took his hands confused, feeling pulled towards his body slowly, giving her the space to walk to him and stop whenever she thought it was too much. She went from feeling left out to feeling embarrassed when she remembered all the marks she had left on his neck.
—It's Y/n, the person I told you about —he introduced her, holding her close to his body.
They didn't talk a lot, but he for sure had managed to bring up Y/n onto the conversation. And, just one look at her particular necklace, while judging the purple marks on his neck, it didn't take Hyori long to know that the woman next to him behind the cart was the only one responsible for those. It was something that he'd only allow from someone he radiated devotion to even through texts.
—Nice to meet you —the woman bowed, with a wide smile making her features seem even cuter.
—Nice to meet you, too... hmm —Y/n hesitated, looking at her as she waited for her to introduce herself.
—Oh, sorry. I'm Hyori.
Why did that name sound so familiar to her?
—I have something to discuss with you, and I was planning on calling you for it —she continued, turning back to San—. Can we meet later?
Y/n's eyes flashed back to San at the speed of light, hoping he'd reject it and tell her he had something important to do later, but instead, he nodded.
He took her home that morning, he gave her a goodbye kiss, and told her he'd pick her up later in the evening so they'd be together.
Yes, the plan of spending the day together was over, because he was going to meet with someone else instead.
