in the same vein, one of the other things that differentiates garrett from your typical chosen one hero is the fact that although he gets embroiled in the plots of the wealthy and powerful, he never becomes part of that world and barely interacts with it. nor does he change the status quo of the wealth disparity in the city. he is just a little guy
the main antagonists of the first two games are both wealthy. constantine, despite being one of the pagans, lives in a giant mansion full of guards and has enough wealth that he doesn't mind garrett looting a bit. karras builds a giant metal palace in the city and uses poor people in his experiments. garrett thwarts both their plans, but it doesn't impact the huge class divide at all. these were just two rich dudes having their weird rich dude tantrums and everything moves on as it always has with them gone. there are plenty more where they came from. most citizens still live in tiny houses with torches while the nobles have electricity and a dozen half empty rooms with no purpose in their giant mansions. garrett has a small apartment in the poorest part of the city and struggles to pay rent
garrett is not out there striking a blow in the class war so much as being forced to bail out everyone from the mess caused by the rich people. the keepers act like this is some sacred duty but like... no the weird rich death cults are more or less just the end result of having a ludicrously rich noble class full of self-important nut jobs with too much time and disposable wealth. no wonder garrett is so disgusted with getting dragged into this shit. once again the poor people are left to try and clean up the mess made by the rich people and resigned to inevitably have to do it over and over
garrett isn't a hero in these terms. he's a janitor
garrett, the main character of the thief trilogy, is such a funny version of the chosen one trope. he's in all the prophecies and central to stopping all the big almost-apocalypses but he never attains notoriety or power. by deadly shadows he'd saved the world twice and no one gives a fuck. almost no one knows. guards try to murder him on the street for being a petty criminal. pedestrians shoulder check him and call him a loser
he's a reclusive loner who never gets a plucky band of comrades. he has no friends. his fences betray him. the only person who ever really works with him or shows him any respect is viktoria (in metal age) who had previously betrayed him and ripped his eye out (builder forbid women do anything)
he complains about being swept up in apocalyptic events non stop and not in a reluctant hero or 'woe is my heavy burden of duty' way, but just kinda bitches and moans about it while doing it anyway. even when he gives in and commits to helping his general vibe is "is this what we're doing now? okay" and his goal seems to be getting it over with so he can get on with his life
in the third game he finds a journal written about the downfall of the previous game's antagonist whom he destroyed (with the help of viktoria who really hard carried that mission with the treepocalypse thing and spare supplies while garrett spent 3 hours sitting on ledges waiting for twenty angry robots to de-aggro), and it attributes the victory to a religious cult's god
the handful of people who know what he did think he's a loser. and he IS a loser (affectionate) who thinks he's so cool and makes snarky quips to himself out loud while attempting to be stealthy. he is only one step removed from the kronk stealth scene in the emperor's new groove
he still can't pay his rent

Anil remains of the perspective that Pin's "choice" was made with the intention to hurt her instead of protect her. Their status within their own relationship forced very different reactionary measures that Anil fails to understand from her place of privilege. Anil was ready and willing to sacrifice everything in order to be with Pin, while Pin was willing to sacrifice her own happiness to prevent Anil from being disgraced. Anil has been taught by experience that should she want something, she has the power to make it happen. Pin has lived to serve the royal family and to take responsibility for any wrongdoing that may cause them potential harm.
It was lovely to see Lady Uangfah sympathizing with Pin, especially when it's compared to Princess Patt's harsher approach. Uangfah is in the best position to understand wanting something you simply cannot have... and, thus, succumbing to her own marital fate within society.

สไบ (pronounced 'sa-bai') is a shawl breast cloth that is typically worn for any culturally significant traditions... like a wedding ceremony. Often hand-embroidered, Sbai are made from long pieces of silk that can be draped diagonally around the chest by covering one shoulder and hanging behind the wearer's back. The quality (and color) of its silk and threads were determined by one's status in society. Vibrant and more expensive silks were worn by royalty, with embroideries of gold or silver threads.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Reputational hearsay is disallowed in royal society, as both involved parties typically tend to suffer as a result. Making an accusation against a person of rank requires evidentiary support, otherwise it could look like the intentional spreading of a false rumor. As Pin, Patt, and Anan all point out, should they publicly reveal the truth about Kuea without any proof, his denial could endanger the reputation of the Savettavarit name... which is what this whole insisted-upon marriage is supposed to protect in the first place.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The idea of karmic penance is nothing new in this series (or in Thai Buddhist tradition)... and it is something that has been ingrained into Pin from Patt's influence (re: episode 12). Pin, herself, has described her actions as sinful: that she would "force" Anil to step below her revered standing is considered to be 'immoral'. It can be said that Pin sees herself as a stain against Anil's otherwise pure character. In order to repent for her actions, she must make amends... no matter how much suffering she might endure as a result. And while she may not understand it, Anil can only wish that Pin can endure and find some form of happiness in her pursuit of redemption.

There are several key steps involved in a traditional Thai wedding ceremony...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ขันหมาก (pronounced 'khan maak') is a procession where the groom and his relatives march to the bride's home. The parade will often feature drummers and traditional folk dancers in a lively celebration that announces the groom's arrival. Relatives are often seen carrying monetary gifts to be used as part of the bride's dowry and offerings that represent important aspects of the marriage... such as health, prosperity, fertility and longevity.
Tumblr media
พิธีกั้นประตู (pronounced 'phi-thi gan pra-tuu') is the symbolic barring of the groom from approaching the bride. The groom must successfully pass through a number of obstacles that are put in the groom’s way by the bride’s family. These symbolic "doors" can only be entered once the groom has proven his worth to the keepers of the "locks". Gold and silver gates are represented by gold or silver belts, which are held by two female members of the bride’s family and friends. The groom's passage through to the next door will only be granted once a "toll" has been negotiated with the keeper of the lock. The entire process is symbolic of the challenges the groom must overcome in order to be worthy of his bride's love and her family's approval. Upon completion, the dowry (สินสอด or 'sin sod') is then formally presented to the bride's family.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
พิธีหลั่งน้ำพระพุทธมนต์ (pronounced 'phi-thi lang naam phra-phuut-ta-mon') is known as the water pouring ceremony. The water pouring is the most important part of a Thai wedding ceremony as it is when a couple can officially be seen as husband and wife.
Before the water pouring can take place, the couple is seated at a traditional water pouring table known as ตั่งรดน้ำ (pronounced 'dtang rot-naam')... with the bride to the left of the groom. They each receive a ceremonial headdress known as มงคล (pronounced 'mong-khol'). The headdress is made from one continuous piece of cotton that forms a circle around each of the bride's and groom's heads... to signify the joining of the two as a couple. Their foreheads are anointed with three dots of white powder to represent the shape of a pyramid, which is symbolic of enlightenment and harmony.
The รดน้ำสังข์ (pronounced 'roht naam sang') is performed by elders pouring blessed water over the couple's hands using a conch shell. The conch shell holds auspicious value through its connection to the Hindu god Vishnu. A trickle of water is poured from the base of the thumb to the fingertips, over first the groom’s and then the bride's, to symbolize the passing of blessings from one generation to the next.

I meant to do this MONTHS ago but I want to talk about the Coven Heads a bit now that they've all shown up at least a bit in Outsiders.
Let's just start with the three at the Glandus Incident.
Mason - Stern Head Witch of the Construction Coven. He's very good at what he does and has a bit of a perfectionist streak. He's a newer Head Witch and is quite proud of the title. He works well enough with the other Head Witches but he's not going to let them boss him around or speak down to him. Which generally puts him at odds with Adrian, Vitimir, Terra, Osran and even Darius.
He's generally a kind person but his strict adherence to his own personal beliefs, combined with being very openly hostile to anyone that he believes is in the wrong don't always make him come across that way.
He is Steve and Matt's father, which hasn't come up in the actual story yet but its a thing that's true. Steve and Matt are half-brothers meaning that they have different mothers, but the same father. He's proud of both of his boys. Does he know Matt is Dual Tracking? Probably not.
------------------------
Raine Whispers - We all know and love Raine. An incredibly powerful Bard with an equally strong sense of justice. As a member of the Rebellion, Raine has to pretend like they are part of the Coven Machine, but cannot bring themselves to actually hurt anyone just to keep up appearances.
They are also the leader of the Bards Against the Throne and are fiercely protective of its members. It drives Raine mad listening to Darius making snide comments at their expense. The trio of Bards might not be as strong as Head Witches, but Raine believes fully in their potential and always seeks to nurture that potential.
As a talented actor, Raine pretends to be much more meek around the other Head Witches and Belos himself. With an overbearing presence like Terra always hovering over them, its easy for them to appear more timid and weak.
Speaking of Terra, their relationship to her is pretty simple. They absolutely hate the woman. She has involved herself in their life as far back as high school. She's even constantly vouched for Raine's ability while, in the same breath, infantilizing them. It's led to an overwhelming belief among the Coven Heads that Raine only got the position because of Terra.
However, as much they can't stand her, Raine can't help but feel like a helpless kid in her presence. One day they'll work up the courage to speak the truth directly to her face, but for now...
------------------------
Terra Snapdragon - The ever-confident Head of the Plant Coven. She's held the position for decades now. Every year it is speculated that she'll finally retire and name her replacement but it never happens. Terra intends to hold firmly onto the role until she finally gets what she deserves. And to that end, everything is fair game. There's nothing too cruel or too petty.
Her age and experience put her a notch above even her peers. Despite her age her magical power hasn't weakened at all, even if her body has a bit. She looks down on pretty much everyone, viewing herself as the most skilled, most powerful, most beautiful, most... everything.
With the exception of Raine, she doesn't really get along with anyone. The others are either too young to be taken seriously or too weak for her to even consider listening to.
She even views herself as superior to Belos. She acknowledges his position in the world, but thinks of him as a lowly brute who she can effortlessly manipulate into doing what she wants.
Her relationship to Raine is more complicated than she'd like. Having never had any kids of her own, she legitimately views Raine Whispers as her legacy. This bright-eyed and endlessly talented kid who she took under her wing and boosted up to the very top! She will do whatever it takes to keep Raine on the right path and protect them... in her own ways.
However, any care she has for Raine is ultimately swaddled by her own selfishness. The core of the matter is that she views Raine as an extension of her own prowess and ability so, truthfully, her grip on them is just her trying to puff herself up further. Not that she sees it that way.

back to basics
Gender & Pronouns: Cis female & she/her
Age: 31
Birthday: October 18th, 1992
Occupation: Event coordinator at Carriage Falls Country Club
Neighborhood: Carriage Falls
Time in Wilmington: 10 years
Sexuality: Bisexual
Relationship Status: Unhappily Married
Does your character have a secret? Her marriage is a sham and she's being paid to not divorce her politician husband while he's campaigning.
the true story
TW: Infertility
He stole her youth.
To understand how, Esra must return to the very beginning of it all. To three children running wantonly around a large, comfortable house in Michigan. To her mother's cooking on the stove and her father feigning a stern brown behind a newspaper. Idyllic and wholesome, the Demir family were so rarely at odds and even rarer in want of anything. They had enough money, laughter, and above all else, each other. Things were good. Really good. At least until the recession hit.
She was sixteen the year that her father lost his well earning position when the banks began to collapse. Once it became clear that he would struggle to find work in the same sector, he attempted to pivot into an adjacent field. Financial advisory came easily enough, but his clientele list had to be built in an era when everyone of reasonable means were barely scraping by, let alone investing. So he looked upwards and began seeking folks a little richer, more powerful, and incredibly public.
All the while her mother held down the fort, so to speak. Minding the children and keeping each one ahead of their studies... just in case. Always with a contingency plan. Not that she didn't have faith in her husband's ambition, but fallbacks couldn't hurt. It paid off when Esra's eldest brother received scholarships to Yale for pre-med and again when she was accepted into Penn State's meteorology program on a full ride. Eventually their father managed to gain his footing just before she left for her first year, but now they didn't also have tuition looming overhead.
Despite visiting home on breaks, Esra rarely encountered her father's influential business associates until a party one evening in the winter before graduation. She'd been mingling with her parents' guests, relaying all sorts of plans to continue studying tornadoes at the University of Oklahoma and work towards her master's degree, when he appeared. Handsome, distinguished, and unfathomably charming almost to the point of excess. When he offered his hand in greeting and introduced himself as a political hopeful in their state government, she nearly felt herself keel over.
And her parents clocked it immediately.
From that moment onward, they seemed to push the duo together and encouraged their middle child to buckle under his gentlemanly advances. Not that she required much convincing. In truth, Esra was smitten from the start and that was her folly, rose colored glasses combined with purposeful blindness to the obvious warning signs. They got married within the same damn year and he requested that she move with him to North Carolina, not Oklahoma, where they could build a family. He claimed that he had the opportunity to make real changes in government there and they could shift west for her dreams in due time.
To no one's surprise, due time never came. Neither did the children which, after ten years, he blamed her for being unable to produce and the resentment between them grew to new heights. His numerous affairs became an open secret and if she still possessed a single ounce of self-respect, maybe Esra would've packed up her things and shipped off to Oklahoma by now. She's threatened it at least fifty times, but he pads her bank account to make up for his infidelity, buys her expensive jewelry, and begs her to protect his sparkling reputation by enduring the mess. Funny how every plea is laced with a little bit of a threat. Think of the publicity. The shame.
At least his career flourished over the last decade while she and her degree remained a stagnant trophy on some shelf. Now part of the Governor's cabinet and preparing to launch a campaign for Attorney General, the appearance of their marriage takes precedence above all else for him. They have no offspring to pose for painfully stiff photographs, but he can position Esra in front of the camera and she begrudgingly complies. This isn't the life she envisioned for herself and fantasies of running away plague her daily. Is it even possible for a person to start their life completely over? Every fibre of her being is screaming to find out.
––––––
most wanted
Friends: I imagine Esra has made a plethora of connections in town over the last 10 years. She's affable and curious by nature, loves a good story and a strong drink. Tell her all about your problems so she can avoid discussing her own.
Bad Influence (or good): Please get her to take a risk and be a little selfish for once. Context is UTP. Can also be reciprocal, Esra is happy to encourage all kinds of behavior, depending on what the person needs.
Political/legal circle: Her husband is gearing up for a campaign to become the state's attorney general. Maybe they know him or crossed paths with Esra before at one of those fancy schmooze events.
Crush: There's this aggravating legal document that keeps her from making a move, but man does she want to.
Former flame: Lived in Michigan or went to Penn State? Congrats, you qualify.
Husband's affair partners: I just like mess.
+ Open to just about anything!

Another Arabian Night ~ Jafar Backstory
Tumblr media
“My story begins in Agrabah, many years ago. My father was one of the Sultan’s royal advisors. As such, my fraternal twin sister, Nasira, and I were raised in wealth and of a higher breeding and class than the filth littering Agrabah’s streets. But my father was a weak fool perfectly content to kiss the feet of that addlepated twit, the Sultan. It sickened me. My mother, on the other hand, was no one of any real importance. Her name was Fasha, and she defined herself by being a faithful wife and doting mother, never really doing anything for herself. It’s a wonder how my sister and I could have come from those two weak fools.
“As children, Nasira and I would often explore Agrabah, and one day we made quite a fateful discovery: the city of Agrabah was built atop the ruins of the Ancient City of the Witches of the Sand and artifacts of their ancient magic remained behind! The secrets down there had long since been forgotten by the common throng. Though Nasira and I were young, we knew quite well the power of sorcery and what it could give us. She and I snuck down to the catacombs beneath the city to study the mystical arts whenever we could.
Tumblr media
“Nasira was a natural, likely because she was a girl and the witches’ magic was biased towards the fairer sex. It was infuriating watching her power grow whilst my spells floundered about unable to compare. Had we a more level playing field, I’m certain I would have surpassed her easily. Surely you’ll understand that I had to put a stop to such an inequity. You see, our mother was a pious woman, devoted entirely to her dull religion, and magic was something she detested and feared. I knew if I let slip what my sister and I were up to, she’d put a stop to it at once. However, I didn’t account for her wrath turning on me as well.
“For punishment, Nasira was kept at mother’s side at all times, a fate so much worse than death by my reckoning. I, on the other hand, was sent away to boarding school far away from the "corrupting” influence of magic. After all, father wanted me to assume his position at court one day, and thus he felt I needed to be more refined and educated. I was quite upset when my fate was determined, and yet my experiences there made me the man I am today. I might never have become the most powerful man in the world had I been leashed to my parents’ side in those days.
Tumblr media
“Unfortunately, my time at school was not a pleasant one. In those formative years, my peers treated me with contempt and disdain. No one ever wanted to know me; they were intimidated by my charisma and mystique. I would often be left pondering ‘Why Me?‘ There was one boy who tormented me considerably by the name of Aman; he was the son of a prominent general to the Sultan. By the time I was thirteen years of age, I could take his abuse no longer. I released a cobra into his room at night, and when he awoke with a sudden motion, the snake struck him. He was dead within minutes. That was the first man I ever killed.
"Well, I relished being free of Aman’s torment, yet it did very little to improve my social standing. To my surprise, my peers wept for him and mourned for him. He became a martyr whose adulations were sung constantly. The momentary satisfaction of destroying him was nothing compared to the rage I endured at the realization that I granted him a position of love and respect that I would never have. It was then that I had a sudden onset of clarity: there are things so much worse than death. True vengeance, a true triumph, would only come by forcing my enemies to watch as I elevated myself at the expense of all that they held dear!
Tumblr media
”That was when I came to know her, the only woman on staff at the school, Amara. She was a historian who knew much about the legends of the Seven Deserts, and her beauty was unmatched. The other boys lusted after her like ravenous dogs, but it was only I who caught her eye. I was her prize student, and once she learned that I’d killed Aman, rather than having me imprisoned, she invited me to her home. You see, she was a sorceress as well, and she saw the potential for great power within my heart. I became her apprentice, and she taught me much.
“Amara and I studied together in secret for years, and once I was a bit older, we became lovers as well. I never had interest in women, but Amara was after something of great power. Becoming intimate with her allowed me to learn exactly what she was after: a magic lamp hidden within a Cave of Wonders! Whosoever became master of the lamp would be granted three wishes with which she could use to rule this world with me at her side. Together, she and I tracked down half of a scarab shaped amulet capable of opening the path to the Cave of Wonders.
Tumblr media
"However, I’ve never been one for second best. I wanted the lamp’s power for my own! One night, I pretended to initiate our usual intimate evening by pouring her a goblet of wine. Amara drank it but soon discovered that something was wrong. I’d put a potion in her drink that would allow me to steal her power and take it for myself! She despaired, pleading that I’d loved her, but the simple truth she’d blinded herself to was that only she loved me. Amara was a great admirer of serpents, and she kept talismans of snakes all around her. It seemed only fitting to transform her into one herself. She became a snake staff, and now I hold her at my side until the end of time!
"I returned home shortly thereafter. My mother had gone to an early grave attempting to keep Nasira under control, and my father now served the new Sultan, a babbling fool even more incompetent than the last. Now that I was back in Agrabah, he was free to retire and to allow me to assume his position in the royal court of Agrabah. I made a vow to myself not to be like my father. I would serve the Sultan, but I would never stop seeking out the other half of the scarab or trying to become the ruler of Agrabah myself.
Tumblr media
"Naturally, I was the most valuable advisor the Sultan had at his disposal. I was smarter and more worldly than the other sycophantic relics who inhabited the palace. The Sultan came to know it as well… with a little convincing from the hypnosis spell of Amara’s staff. Once I was appointed Grand Vizier, it didn’t take very long or very much effort to have the other counselors removed from office. I was the only advisor the Sultan ever needed, and thus I was able to operate with near impunity. I built myself a secret chamber in the palace for my sorcerous endeavors and worked very hard to get the guards wrapped around my little finger.
"However, while I’d accounted for my political adversaries, the Sultan’s family proved to be more of a hindrance than I care to admit. The little princess was always under foot, and her disrespectful attitude was nothing short of impertinent! Yet the Sultan’s wife proved to be the bigger problem. The Sultana saw my magical hourglass while she was sneaking about one night. She knew I was seeking the lamp to overthrow her bumbling husband. I wasn’t about to let some self-righteous woman unravel my plans, so I used my staff to mesmerize her and have her throw herself from the guard tower! Oh! But the very best part? The little princess caught a glimpse of us that night. I sent her back to bed and told her it was just a bad dream. And the next morning when she asked me where her dear mother had gone? Why I simply told her the truth: her mommy didn’t love her enough to stay alive.
Tumblr media
"Though the Sultan ruled in broad daylight, with the Sultana gone, I became the true power behind the throne. My decisive leadership brought prosperity to Agrabah and ensured that the insane fools lurking beyond our borders stayed away. Yet without Amara, it was a bit lonely at the top. I knew better than to allow myself to fall in love with any of the gentlemen I’d invited to my bedchambers. I needed a confidant who I could trust not to usurp me. I bought a fine exotic bird off a wealthy plantation owner and named him Iago. With a bit of magic, I granted him speech and intelligence beyond his station. I taught him everything I knew, and his foul little mind made him quite enjoyable company.
"Then, one day, my years of searching bore fruit. You see, Princess Jasmine came of age, and it was time for her to be wed. Suitors from all across the Seven Deserts came to call. The miserable girl rejected and humiliated them all, but one prince who came to visit carried with him a marvelous engagement present: the other half of the scarab talisman! I knew I could not allow it to slip through my fingers, so I released a common thief from the palace dungeon by the name of Gazeem and ordered him to steal the scarab talisman.
Tumblr media
"Gazeem succeeded and met me in the desert on a dark night. I brought the two halves of the talisman together and found the Cave of Wonders at long last! From there, well, you know the tale. That ragged urchin Aladdin unraveled all of my carefully laid plans of deceit and conquest, but not before I became an all powerful immortal GENIE! … Briefly. My return and my vengeance were also thwarted by Aladdin and the change of heart in my treacherous parrot! No good deed goes unpunished, clearly. Iago destroyed my lamp, killing me.
"I found myself in the Underworld after that. Fortunately, the Lord of the Dead, Hades, was my sort of fellow. We hit it off and became fast friends. Unfortunately, our attempts to have Hercules and Aladdin destroy one another failed and caused me to be lost in the River Styx. Nasira’s attempt to conjure me back was hardly more successful. Yet fate has a way of working out in the end. Hades himself was knocked into the River Styx by Hercules, and though the other souls in the river attempted to drag him down, I came to his aid. With my help, he was able to break free, and for my service, I was resurrected once again!
Tumblr media
"Now I am fully restored, and my dark purposes remain unchanged. I shall destroy Aladdin once and for all, and all those fools who he calls ‘friends’ will be made to suffer for their association! After all, this universe is going to be MINE to command… TO CONTROL!”

my patient’s neighbour [four] // wanda maximoff
summary: taking Wanda to meet your parents wasn't the best decision in hindsight...
warning/s: none i don't think?
author's note: i’m not sure what to say other than sorry in advance oops
part one | part two | part three | part five | part six | part seven | masterlist | wattpad
Tumblr media
The restaurant my parents chose wasn't too flashy but rather comforting and homely, with an Italian theme and matching cuisine. It was bustling with people, but it didn't take long for Wanda and I to find my parents sat at the back waiting for us.
"You gonna be okay?" I asked, glancing at her with a comforting squeeze of the hand.
"I've got you, haven't I?" she asked playfully, her accent thicker than usual as she spoke. And though she was joking, I knew there was truth to her words which sent the butterflies in my stomach into a frenzy.
"You're cute," I said with adoration, appreciating how lovely her eyes looked in the dimly-lit restaurant. "Come on."
Hand in hand, we approached my parents' table and I had hopes that tonight would go well. My parents weren't exactly intimidating – at least anyone I'd ever known hadn't got that impression – but I still worried for Wanda. Unlike her, I couldn't read minds, so I couldn't tell if she was actually looking forward to tonight or if she was just doing it for me.
"Y/N, you're here!" my mum exclaimed with a grin when she spotted me.
"I am," I said with a nervous smile, before motioning to Wanda. "And so is Wanda, my girlfriend."
"Yes, Y/N mentioned you would be coming," my mum said with a friendly smile, looking to Wanda, before motioning to the table. "Please, sit, sit."
I squeezed Wanda's hand gently before pulling out a chair for her. She smiled at me appreciatively before I took a seat beside her, facing my parents.
"It's nice to finally meet you, Wanda," my dad said with a nod. "Y/N mentioned you plenty of times when we'd call to catch up with her."
"You, too," Wanda spoke politely. "Both of you. Y/N told me that you're travelling the world, is that right?"
I leaned on my hand and glanced at Wanda, who shot me a mischievous smile. Quirking a brow, I mentally applauded her. Getting my parents to talk about their travels was an easy way of bonding with them – they would tell every server and customer in this restaurant about their travelling if they could. She'd cracked them instantly.
I'm just that good, milashka (cutie).
Trying not to laugh as her words echoed in my mind because of her powers, I leaned back into my seat and listened in as my parents went into a ramble about their ongoing adventures. This was pretty much how the rest of the evening went, as the four of us dined on expensive wine and delicious pizza. They seemed to be getting along well, with Wanda asking all the right questions and giving them her picture-perfect smile that impressed all the elders. Heck, she was even impressing me.
Naively, I appreciated how well the evening was going until my parents decided to talk to Wanda about her career.
"So, Y/N mentioned you're one of those Revengers," my mum remembered as we ate.
"Avengers," I corrected her, mildly embarrassed.
Wanda chuckled, glancing at me, before nodding. "Yes, I am. For over a year now, I've been working with them."
"Them being Iron Man, Captain America, the Black Widow...?" my dad asked, looking up as if trying to remember the rest, further embarrassing me.
"Those are the ones," Wanda quipped with a nod.
My mum hummed in response as my dad nodded before leaning back in his seat and eyeing Wanda curiously.
"I can't imagine your job is the safest," he began. "You protect people from threats, right? Keep them safe."
Wanda seemed caught off guard, but recovered quickly. "It's got it's... dangers, yes. But I can handle myself. I've got powers and I know how to use them."
"You do," my dad agreed, before his eyes flickered to me briefly. "But Y/N doesn't. She's just a regular human."
I set my fork down on my plate and looked to him calmly. "Dad, what are you saying?"
"No, it's fine," Wanda said reassuringly, resting her hand on my leg under the table. I grabbed it and held it as she continued to speak to my father. "Y/N doesn't have powers, you are correct."
"And dating an Avenger, I can imagine, must put a huge target on her back," he said with concern, and my mum nodded in agreement. "How can we be certain that she is safe?"
"Dad!"
"Your father is right, Y/N," my mum said, giving me a look, before her expression softened as she looked to a startled Wanda. "We're not implying that you're incapable, Wanda. We can clearly see that you care about our daughter. And you're a lovely person. You're pretty much perfect."
Wanda swallowed hard. "But?"
My mother frowned. "But dating you is bound to put our Y/N in danger. She could get hurt just for being involved with you, with your friends. She doesn't have powers to protect herself. And I can't imagine you're around her all the time to keep her safe."
As angry as I was at my parents for saying this stuff – even if they were saying it out of love – memories of the incident flashed to mind. They were right, but it was a risk I'd accepted when dating Wanda. What good was it doing by bringing this up now?
Noticing Wanda's silence, I spoke up instead. "I appreciate your concern, guys, but I'm an adult. I understand the danger I may be put in by being with Wanda. But I love her and I know that she is here for me if anything were to ever happen."
"We know," my father said, giving me a small nod. "We just thought we'd share our opinion anyway. It's been weighing on us for a while is all."
I sighed quietly. I couldn't exactly fault them for that.
"Anyway, never mind that," my mum said, setting down her fork. "Now that we've got that out the way, let's order some dessert, yeah? Our treat."
Nodding, I let my parents get excited as they perused the dessert menus before them. Instead, I looked to the quiet brunette beside me and saw how lost in thought she was, eyes focused on the table and stuck in a daydream.
With the hand that was holding hers, I patted her hand with my thumb to earn her attention. She looked up suddenly, questioning gaze falling to me. I frowned and quirked a brow, wondering if she was okay. She forced a smile my way, squeezing my hand reassuringly, but I didn't believe her. I also couldn't question it right in front of my parents, so I decided to speak with her later.
Dessert went by quickly as Wanda, suddenly, wasn't very talkative. I didn't know if my parents noticed, but I sure did and I felt extremely guilty. If I had known of my parents' concerns, I never would have brought Wanda to meet them tonight.
After the evening came to a close and we all stepped out of the restaurant, I expected to be going home with my parents since we lived together, but they claimed they had more plans together tonight.
"Wow, you guys have more of a social life than we do," I joked when they told me to make my own way home.
Wanda barely smiled and I felt bad.
"We'll be back in a few hours," my mum promised, before pulling me in for a hug. "Tonight was fun. A great final night before we leave tomorrow."
I returned the hug and as I gave my dad one, I heard Wanda thanking my mum for the lovely evening halfheartedly. After saying our final goodbyes, Wanda led me to her car in silence, giving me time to try and put some jumbled thoughts together coherently.
As she had been for the past hour, Wanda was quiet on the drive back to my place. Whenever I would glance in her direction, she'd be chewing on her lip and focusing on driving, though the blank expression on her face made me think that maybe she was distracted. It didn't take a genius to know she was thinking about my parents' words and I suddenly felt guilty for putting that all on her.
"I'm sorry," I blurted halfway through the journey. "I'm sorry for what they said. It wasn't fair of them, I know that. They just... they meant well, Wanda, they really did." I tucked my hands under my thighs, wincing as their words echoed in my mind. "It doesn't change anything though, y'know? We're still us. We're still okay. I don't want you to feel like anything's changed because it hasn't."
I paused, swallowing hard, and glanced her way. She didn't even look my way, still in the same position as she was before I started to speak. Looking back to the road ahead, I let out a disappointed sigh, figuring she wasn't in a talking mood. I didn't blame her, but I hoped she would have understood what I meant.
The remainder of the drive was like this, Wanda deep in thought and me huddled under an imaginary blanket of guilt. When we finally reached my house, she turned the engine off and I waited for her to say something, literally anything. Her fingers drummed against the steering wheel mindlessly and I figured she was out of words for tonight.
"I'll ring you in the morning," I mumbled quietly, opening the car door. "If you want to speak, that is."
Leaving her there, I grabbed my bag and headed to the front door, but stopped when I heard her get out the car, too. Waiting, I turned around and watched as she approached me, eyebrows knitted in thought.
"Please say something," I said with pleading eyes.
She licked her lips, biting her lower lip so hard I'm surprised she didn't draw blood. Finally, she released it and looked to me with apologetic eyes.
"Your parents were right," she said.
I blinked with confusion. "What?"
She nodded, looking down at her shoes momentarily. "They were right, what they said. My life puts you in danger."
"Yeah, I know," I agreed, crossing my arms. "I knew that when I got with you, but that doesn't change anything."
She gave a disbelieving smile. "Seriously? Y/N, that changes everything."
"No, it doesn't," I told her sternly, growing frustrated. "This is the stuff you sacrifice when you love someone."
She sighed, shaking her head and looking away. "You shouldn't have to."
"But I chose to," I said, clenching my jaw.
"Don't you remember what happened last time?" she asked, stepping forward and holding my hand. "The incident?"
"We said we wouldn't talk about that," I reminded her with a low voice.
"But you remember, right? When they took you and I wasn't there? They could've hurt you!"
"Shut up!" I told her, raising my voice. Pulling my hand away from hers and taking a step back, I continued, "Why are you saying that? You came! You helped me!"
"But what if they did something to you before I got there?" she snapped. "What if I hadn't got to you on time?"
The memories came spilling into my mind, escaping the locked box I kept them in. Tears burned the corner of my eyes as I tried to think about anything else.
"You remember how scared you were?" Wanda asked, frowning at me with exasperated eyes. "You couldn't be by yourself for weeks!"
"Why are you doing this?!" I yelled, clenching my fists. "Why are you trying to frighten me?!"
"Because you should be frightened!" she retorted, stepping closer to me. Her dark green eyes were swirling storms of rage as she added, "It could happen again!"
I shoved her away from me, pinching the bridge of my nose with annoyance. Tears slipped from my eyes at the terrifying memory of what happened, what could have gone wrong, but I ignored them as I swallowed down the lump in my throat. Why the hell was she acting like this? Making me so angry at her for no reason?
"It's not even just that," she continued, jaw tensed. "How many times do I get hurt because of work and you get worried?"
"That's because I care about you," I muttered through stinging eyes.
"This will always be my life," she said, a hint of regret in her words as she looked to me. "I can't change it."
"I'm not asking you to!"
"Exactly! You're not! Which means you'll suck it up and stay with me and will live your life in constant concern for my well-being. It's not right."
I opened my mouth to respond because what she was saying was entirely stupid. But my emotions got the better of me and no words came out. Instead, my bottom lip quivered as I sucked up a breath.
"I need time to think," she suddenly said, anger disappearing from her voice and being replaced with an astute calmness.
My gaze snapped her way and through blurry vision, I watched her step back with her hands on her hips.
"So you can what – think about breaking up with me?" I said bitterly, and despite my anger, I didn't expect her to look at me with a softened expression, meaning my words were correct.
"Maybe it's better that way, Y/N," she said gently, eyes meeting mine.
I squeezed my hands together and tried to breathe through the pent-up anger that she'd caused, but the longer she stared at me, waiting for a response, the more I wanted to explode.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" I muttered, scrunching my eyebrows together.
She pressed her lips together, looking away, and it only pissed me off more.
"Are you fucking kidding me, Wanda?!" I yelled. "You're quitting on our relationship because, what, you think I'm in danger? Well, news flash, honey, the worst already happened and I'm still here!"
She barely flinched as she avoided my eyes.
"You're a fucking coward!" I said, pointing at her. "If you needed an excuse to end things, you could have just said so!"
Breathing out, I wiped my tears away shakily. I expected her to argue back, to realise she'd made a mistake and regretted her words, but as I waited, I knew she was certain of her decision.
"Fine," I settled, brimming with rage. "Fuck off, Wanda."
Still, nothing.
Turning on my heel, I stormed to my front door and went through my keys with difficulty, hands shaking with anger. I heard Wanda's car door shut from behind me but didn't bother turning around. I clearly didn't need to as I heard the tyres screech against the road and knew she was gone.
Kicking my door with frustration, I found the key and opened up before heading inside and slamming the door behind me. How dare she break up with me because of something that I chose off my own back! She just gave up like we meant nothing to her, not even bothering to talk things out with me! And selfishly, she left me feeling pissed and resenting her more than I ever thought I would.
"What a bitch!" I shouted into the empty house, throwing my keys to the side harshly.
When they clinked against glass, I looked up and saw the vase of flowers Wanda had given me before dinner.
"The first and fucking last," I said dryly, before grabbing ahold of it and throwing it against the wall without thinking.
The glass shattered on impact, leaving a mess of water, flowers and small shards on the wooden floor. I looked at it, the brokenness resembling how my heart felt. As the adrenaline of my actions and previous angry words wore off, all that was left was hurt and pain and oh God, Wanda was gone. She'd left me. She'd given up.
I sank to the floor, pulling my legs up to my chest, and hugged them tightly. Stifling my cries, I dug myself into my knees and felt a pain in my heart. Why didn't she fight for us? Did she not love me enough? Was I not enough?
"You ignored the memes I sent you, I thought you died."
As Natasha pushed right past me and into my house, I blinked with disbelief.
"Sure, come right in," I mumbled sarcastically, closing the front door.
Following after Natasha, I found her making herself at home in the living room, plonking herself on the couch and pulling her feet up comfortably.
"You could have sent an emoji or something," she continued, giving me a knowing look. "They were some good memes."
"Well, forgive me if I wasn't in the mood," I said sourly, joining her on the couch.
Her playful smile faded as she picked up on my words. "How are you doing, sweetie?"
I ran a hand through my hair and leaned my elbow on the back of the couch, getting comfortable. It had been two weeks since Wanda broke up with me and in those two weeks, I hadn't been doing particularly well. I guess you could say I was still in a slump. A horrible, tiresome, angry, sadness-filled slump.
"I'm fine."
She pursed her lips, looking like she wanted to argue, but thankfully, she didn't. I was glad – the last thing I wanted was to prove that I was okay when, really, all I wanted to do was curl in a ball and suffocate under my duvet.
"I'm sorry," she said, resting her hand on mine. "If it's any consolation, I think Wanda made a huge mistake."
"Ah, so she told you," I said with a nod of realisation. I hadn't told Natasha the specifics of why we broke up, but clearly Wanda did. I guess it made sense – they were teammates. If anything, I was surprised Natasha still wanted to speak to me, instead expecting her to side with her friend.
"She did," Natasha answered. "And I think she's an idiot, but that's not my business. I just came here to make sure you were okay."
"Really? I thought you wanted to show me the memes," I said jokingly, trying to lighten the mood with a small smile.
She chuckled, slapping my hand gently. "That, too... but seriously."
My smile faded as I looked down, my finger playing with my trousers distractedly. "I'm not okay, but I'll get there." I began to glare at my trousers, my anger for the witch returning. "I have to be. Because she doesn't want me anymore... fuck her."
"I'd rather not," Natasha mumbled.
Though my anger was present, making me tense like it had been the last few weeks, I couldn't help but smile at Natasha's words. Then laughter bubbled from my lips and for the first time since Wanda left, I felt momentarily happy.
"I'm glad we can still be friends," Natasha said, making me look to her with a smile. "I know that you and Wanda are over now... but I still like hanging out with you."
"Me, too," I said in agreement. "Thanks for coming to check in. You didn't have to."
"Yeah, I did." She nodded before offering me a small, encouraging smile. "You're gonna be okay, y'know."
I wanted to believe her, but despite how pissed I was at Wanda, I still loved her. And I couldn't imagine stopping, though I knew I'd have to if I was to make it through this.
Getting over Wanda was a difficult process. Everything I felt was a mixture of resentment, exhaustion and misery because I missed her. I missed being able to call her when I saw somebody do something stupid in public; I missed kissing her when I hadn't seen her in a long time; I missed hearing her adorable accent first thing when I woke up after she spent the night; I missed her.
Two months followed the breakup and the only time I'd see her was when she'd dodge Anna's apartment upon knowing I was going to take care of her. I guess I was glad in that sense, as it meant I wouldn't have to deal with her awkwardly. But it also made me feel like shit because it meant she didn't care about me at all. Clearly our breakup wasn't affecting her like it did with me.
And it was definitely affecting me.
I was scrolling through Instagram one day when I saw a particular post on my feed from Natasha's account. Yeah, one of the Avengers had a private Instagram account. She gave me her username when she saw me on it one day and I remember being so confused to how she had it.
"I'm an Avenger, not a hermit," was her response, and from that day onwards, we followed each other.
So, I saw a post on her Instagram and it was some goofy photo of her, Tony, Bruce and Wanda. They were posing with exaggerated smiles as Natasha grinned up front; the caption said something about working long days, but I wasn't paying much attention as, naturally, my gaze fell to Wanda.
Just like everyone else, she had a playful, exaggerated smile on her lips like nothing kept her down, but what stood out was the sling around her arm and the cast underneath. It must have happened in a mission or something and it wasn't my business, but I couldn't help but worry. Was she okay? Was she looking after herself? I wanted to text Natasha and ask, but I stopped myself.
She'd broken up with me for this very reason. I wasn't agreeing with it, but for a second, I did see why she'd made her point. It still wasn't fair though. She didn't get to make that choice for me.
We weren't together anymore, I reminded myself. She broke up with me. It had been two months and I needed to let go. If she didn't care about me, why should I waste my time and energy caring about her?
Not letting it get to me anymore, I simply liked the post before continuing my scrolling. Though I knew that deep down, her face was imprinted in my mind and I still worried for her well-being.
The fourth month following our breakup was when I properly saw Wanda again, excluding the times she would duck out of Anna's apartment upon my arrival to care for her. It was also the first time since the breakup that Wanda made the effort to speak to me.
I was sat eating dinner on my day off when I got a call from the hospital nearby, interrupting my meal. The nurse was explaining how Anna had fallen over and hurt her back and was now in a hospital room. She was calling me because she thought I'd like to know since I was her registered nurse and carer. I was glad to get the call, immediately pulling my shoes and coat on and rushing over there to make sure she was okay. She didn't have anyone else apart from Wanda and I – it was no question I had to go.
Though, of course, I didn't really think about the fact that Wanda may be there until I saw her there. I also didn't consider the fact that I was wearing my pyjamas when I stepped in the lift and headed to Anna's floor. Too late now.
After asking the receptionist where Anna's room was, I found Wanda hanging around it outside the door. With only Anna on my mind, I approached her and tried to hide my panic. She spotted me instantly, stopping her pacing and looking to me with tired eyes and a frown on her face.
I didn't care that she looked worried, nor that she was holding up well since we last spoke in anger. I didn't care that she'd dyed her hair a reddish-brown colour, nor that she managed to pull off both that and the whole 'loungewear' look in a place surrounded by blinding white and blue. I didn't care that my heart ached when her green eyes found mine, nor that I missed seeing her so close and not in my dreams for once. I didn't care about any of it. Or, at least, I tried to tell myself that.
"What happened?" I cut straight to the point, stopping in front of her. "Is Anna okay?"
Wanda nodded instantly. "She's fine. She tripped over her dining room chair and hurt her back. The doctors just checked her out and said it's nothing too serious, but she won't be able to walk for a while."
I pressed my lips together, feeling the panic wear off at the sound of good news. Anna had always been more than just a patient to me and the last thing I wanted was to hear she'd hurt herself badly.
"Can I see her?" I asked Wanda, quirking a brow.
"Yeah, of course," Wanda said, before looking away awkwardly. "I was just waiting out here for you. The nurse said you were coming."
I chose to say nothing as I walked past her and into Anna's room, seeing the older woman laying on a hospital bed and staring at the ceiling. When she noticed my presence, she smiled at me and motioned for me to join her side.
"It's so good to see you, milaya (sweetie)," she said happily, as I stopped by her side, "but you didn't have to come! I'm not dying."
I heard Wanda enter the room behind me, but she took a seat on the chairs opposite the bed. Ignoring her, I smiled down at Anna and grabbed her hand.
"Don't say that," I told her gently. "Of course I'm here. You're my number one priority. I had to make sure you were okay!"
Anna waved her hand in typical Anna fashion. "I've suffered worse. I'm absolutely fine."
I knew it was best not to question her, so I didn't.
"I'm glad you're both here," she said, looking between Wanda and I, making me swallow awkwardly.
Since breaking up, I hadn't mentioned it to Anna, but she wasn't stupid and she'd clearly noticed that we weren't spending time together anymore. I didn't know if Wanda had told her, but if she had, Anna never mentioned anything. Like now, she simply looked between us both with a grateful smile, unaware of how awkward we felt.
Thankfully, the awkward silence was interrupted when a doctor walked in the room. After introducing herself, I asked if I could speak to her outside about Anna and she happily obliged. She told me about Anna's condition and how it would affect the way I cared for her, especially regarding her new medication, and I asked anything and everything to make sure she was truly okay. After being reassured that she was, I thanked the doctor and returned to Anna's room, only to find Wanda and Anna in a heated a argument.
I couldn't tell what had got them so fussy as they were bickering in Russian, sentences too fast for me to comprehend with my limited knowledge of the language. It got to a point where Anna began slapping Wanda on the arm, looking angrier than ever, so I stepped between them and pulled Wanda away.
"What the hell is going on here?" I interrupted, holding Anna's slapping hand down to the bed and raising a hand to keep Wanda at bay. I looked between them, seeing the frustration in both their expressions, and asked questioningly, "Well?"
Wanda said nothing, eyes avoiding mine as usual, so I looked down to Anna who was glancing between us before spouting off into another ramble in Russian, trying to grab Wanda so she could yell at her directly. To my annoyance, Wanda tried to push past me, yelling back, and I was unfortunately caught in the middle as I attempted to keep them from ripping each other's throats out.
Thankfully, their bickering came to a halt when an unknown voice called into the room: "What is going on in here?"
I looked to the door, following the mystery voice, and saw a young woman, maybe in her thirties, standing in the doorway and looking between the three of us with confusion. I had no idea who she was, though she seemed familiar. Judging from the confusion Wanda had, she didn't seem to know either.
"Sasha," Anna breathed out with surprise, and then I realised. That was Anna's granddaughter. "What are you doing here?"

One More Drink
♡ Pairing: Draco Malfoy x Y/N
♡ Summary: Y/N and Draco have a one night stand, however things are not as straightforward as they seem (I’m not sure how to describe this one)
♡ Warnings: Pure smut, female receiving (anything else let me know)
Tumblr media
Working as a healer was Y/N's dream ever since she studied at Hogwarts. The countless hours she put into her studying did not go unnoticed. So when she left Hogwarts two years ago she was immediately offered a high position in St. Mungo's.
Her efforts in the war were appreciated by many. She wasn't fully trained, nor did she know what she was doing when she was presented with injured wizards. But she tried, her ambition, the way she tried her hardest to not let a single soul die beneath her touch was admired by almost everyone.
So for the past two years, every Friday at 8PM. After she had finished her evening shift, she headed down to her local bar. Although she was a strong individual, her mind was haunted by the blood, the injuries, and it only followed her when she went to work.
So Friday was her day, her day to drown out the horrific images, her day to let loose, because she deserved it.
She liked being alone, she enjoyed her own company. The war changed everyone, she barely spoke with her friends from Hogwarts. They all lived their own lives, the thought of them only forced her to remember everything that had happened.
So here she was, alone in her local bar. It was her second drink of the night, the alcohol yet to mix into her blood. This week had been long, gruesome and tiring, she wanted something stronger. Something to provide her with temporary amnesia.
She flicked her hand up, signalling the bartender over. This bartender was new, he was young, slightly shaky. She was sure he was overwhelmed with the amount of people in the bar.
He sent her a weak smile, sweat dripping off the tip of his nose. He rubbed it off with his forearm and immediately had apologetic eyes, Y/N couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"I'll have another Martini please" Y/N smiled, she bit the olive off the toothpick and shoved it back into her glass.
"Right away" the bartender rushed, he was sloppy with his work. Loud men, flirty women all called him in unison, wanting his attention. Craving their own taste of poison.
Y/N looked around from her bar stool, the place was rammed. There were no empty chairs, no spare tables, bodies were everywhere. This only heated up the small bar, Y/N pushed her jacket down, settling it on her lap as she waited for her drink.
She fiddled with her fingers, she would enjoy some company right now. Perhaps she should start bringing her friends, or find a lover.
She shook her head at the thoughts, men were too complicated. She didn't have time for them, besides, she was picky when it came to the opposite sex.
After a few moments her drink arrived in front of her, except there were no olives. She thought to complain, but the poor boy was already under pressure. She didn't want to add any more, she swung the drink back effortlessly.
This was the drink that done it, the gin burned her throat, she could feel the alcohol swim through her veins. Her stomach fluttered, even though her jacket had come off, she had heated up again.
Y/N went to request another drink, but something else had been placed in front of her.
Brown liquid gold in a shot glass— fire whiskey. She smirked to herself, every Friday an unknown admirer purchased her a single shot of fire whiskey.
Was she really hot, or did she just want to take off her jacket so her admirer could see her bare skin. Y/N didn't know, some parts of her wanted to find out who it was. Other parts of her wanted to keep on playing their little game.
It must've been someone from Hogwarts— in the Muggle world they done shots of Vodka, tequila even rum— never fire whiskey.
She held the drink to her lips, pressing them on the rim. Her nostrils burned, smelling the strong smell of the alcohol. She counted to three before swallowing the contents of the shot glass.
Her mind was full of memories in Hogwarts, the times that her and her friends would sneak fire whiskey into a party. Drinking after exams, before quidditch games and after, any excuse for a good time— fire whiskey was there.
Her heart warmed, that's it, she had to know who was sending her these drinks, every Friday for two years straight— she had to know.
Whoever it was, they were smart. Friday was always the busiest day, so no matter how hard Y/N tried to look for the unknown person, her mind was always cloudy by that time. So she would give up, plus the bartender would never tell her who it was.
A light bulb went off in her head, she then realised— this was a new bartender.
She called him over, he ran to her. His face was red, he looked like he was on the verge of passing out.
"Who sent this drink?" She asked, her voice was laced with excitement.
"I— I don't know."
"You must know— he obviously told you— what did he look like?"
"Oh— yes right— white hair— he's tall, wearing all black."
"Thank you" Y/N smiled, she rose from her chair. She was going to find him, whoever it was.
She checked, table after table, there was no sign of this white haired man. She almost gave up, wanting to return to her seat. She internally screamed seeing it was now occupied.
She spun around ready to head to the exit, her face then collided with a hard chest.
"Looking for me?" The male spoke.
Y/N frowned, she pushed back, raising her head. She had seen him before, she knew who he was but she couldn't pin point where she knew him from.
God he was beautiful, his face was carved sharply, his eyes a stormy grey colour. He was powerful, just by his stance, his skin was clean, like porcelain, there wasn't a scratch on it.
"I— uh-"
"Would you like to sit down? You're welcome to sit on my table" he spoke again, his voice was deep, it almost went straight to Y/N's core.
She couldn't speak, she was in awe at this beautiful man.
"If I'd had known that you were going to react like this then I would've made myself known sooner" he chuckled.
His hand wrapped around her wrist, his cold fingertips snapped her out of the trance. Before she knew what he was doing, he dragged her back to his table. It was in the corner, dim lit, her eyes went to where the bar was, she realised he had a clear view of her.
He was watching her all this time.
"I— do I know you?" She asked, her eyes met his, she was intimidated by his strong gaze.
"I don't know, do you?" He responded, picking up his drink and raising it to his lips.
"You look familiar" Y/N mumbled, watching him, his pink tongue fell out and licked the rim of his glass before he sipped on the contents.
Her breath hitched in her throat, he knew that, he had been watching her for so long.
He set his glass down and turned his body so that their knees were touching, "we went to school together."
"Hogwarts?" Y/N frowned.
He hummed, conjuring more fire whiskey from the tip of his wand. Y/N looked around to see if anyone had watched but luckily no one did.
Then she realised who he was, the annoying, pompous asshole that got underneath everyone's skin.
"Malfoy" she grimaced.
"Huh, you were eye fucking me less than two minutes ago— now you're saying my name like you hate me Y/L/N."
"Piss off— I was not— you've just changed— that's all."
"In a good way I'm guessing" he smirked, his fingers tapped the table below him. She couldn't help but stare at his long fingers, decorated with silver expensive rings.
She let out a breath, the fire whiskey had clearly taken over her body and her mind, "very good."
Draco was taken aback by her response, she had always been bold. But after the war, everyone had lost their spark, it seemed she hadn't which only enticed him more.
"So, Malfoy, you've been watching me all this time, buying me drinks— what's the catch?" She laughed, she picked up his drink and sipped a little of it. Some escaped from the corner of her mouth, due to her rushing to swallow the drink.
His finger reached out, collecting the fallen liquid. He brushed it against her bottom lip, letting it sit there before he pushed his wet finger into his own mouth.
Y/N sat there with her mouth open, her thoughts ran wild. Imagining what Malfoy would be like in bed, he was an arrogant bastard, so he must have something to show for it.
She could faintly remember him in school, however all her memories of him were negative. Him bullying the golden Trio, treating girls like toys. She had despised him, she couldn't remember him in the war— or if he was even there.
"There's no catch" he said, bringing her back to reality.
"I find that hard to believe, there's always a catch with you Malfoy."
"Call me Draco— darling."
Y/N hadn't noticed that her thong had became wet, only when she shifted from leg to leg. She felt the cool breeze travel up her skirt and right onto her underwear. She unknowingly had a blush painted across her face, which Draco had noticed.
"Everything alright?" He whispered, he leaned closer to her, his strong scent overpowering her nostrils. His hand found her knee and rested it there, Y/N secretly hoped he would move his hand further.
"I— I'm fine, it's just hot in here" Y/N nervously laughed.
"You seem flustered Y/N" Draco said in a hushed tone, he leaned even closer to her, his breath now hot against her ear.
"I'm— I'm just hot Draco" she lifted his glass to her mouth, drinking slowly, trying to avoid his eyes.
"Mmm, are you wet too?"
Y/N choked on the drink, liquid flew out of her mouth landing on the table. She didn't expect him to come out with that, how did he know, was it that obvious?
Draco picked up a piece of tissue and dried the table, "I'll take that as a yes."
She was embarrassed, more than embarrassed. She wanted to run out of the bar and never return, but she couldn't. His pull was strong, that's what kept her there.
"No— I'm not."
"I think you're lying darling."
His hand had moved to her thigh, massaging it with his hand. Her skin quickly covered in goosebumps, he left a light kiss on her cheek and pried her thighs open as they were firmly shut from her crossing them.
Draco looked in her eyes to see if there was any sign of protest, but there wasn't, her eyes were full of lust and want.
"I think," Draco paused, his index finger drew circles up her inner thigh, edging closer and closer to her wet thong.
His mouth was brushing her ear, "you should let me, clean this little mess you made."
His finger dragged along the centre of her thong, an almost inaudible groan escaped past his pink lips. Y/N's hand grabbed onto his forearm, holding it in place.
She whimpered feeling his finger slip underneath her thong, he ran his finger up and down, collecting her arousal on his finger.
He stilled and looked at her, Draco had never seen a prettier sight. He was going to enjoy this thoroughly, "would you let me do that?"
Y/N had forgotten that he had asked a question, all she could focus on was his slender finger touching her ever so carefully.
"Hmm? Answer me love, would you like that— would you like me to clean this up?" He whispered, circling her clit slowly, his eyes stared into the side of her face. Waiting for an answer, he knew she was in a trance.
He removed his finger, hoping that would force her to answer his question.
Y/N's mouth ran dry, she couldn't remember the last time she had been touched like this. She wanted to say in Hogwarts but everything before the war was fuzzy to her.
"Yes" she managed to whisper.
He nodded, he downed his drink and leaned back into the chair. Y/N frowned, looking at him, she thought he was going to move out of the way so she could exit the booth.
But he just sat there, he ran his tongue over his teeth, smirking slightly whilst he watched her.
"Ladies first."
"But you're in the way."
"I'm a gentleman, ladies first Y/N" he said, his bottom lip was caught in between his teeth as he watched her scramble and collect her belongings.
She stood up, praying silently to herself, do not fall over him. He widened his legs and allowed her to step over one of them until she was standing in between his legs.
She almost fell but he caught her by her waist, she looked down at him. His eyes were already on hers, they are dark, he looked at her like she was his prey.
"Careful love," his eyes wandered down her body until they reached her ass. His tongue ran across his lips, moistening them before he moved his hand off her waist.
Y/N managed to climb out of the booth safely, without falling on him again. She threw her coat on and waited for him to stand up, he immediately towered over her.
His hand fell to the small of her back and guided her through the sweaty bodies. He didn't need to push anyone out of the way, his presence alone made people stand to the side.
Once they had reached the empty street he held out his hand for her to take. She knew where this was going, she always hated apparating but it was the fastest way to transport to places.
She squeezed her eyes shut, feeling the wave of nausea run through her system. Apparating and alcohol were not a good pairing, she knew not to make this mistake again.
Finally back on two feet she waited for her body to regain its normal composure. She looked at her surroundings, a simple flat. It was modern but with dark accents to it, typical for a Slytherin she thought to herself.
The kitchen was attached to the lounge, a nice open space. Y/N wondered if he lived by himself. It was a large flat, the floor to floor windows overlooked the streets of central London. I guess he still had money even after the war.
Y/N placed her bag on the floor and stood by the window, watching the river Thames in the background, then glancing to the busy streets, full of life.
Draco stood next to her, watching everywhere she was watching.
"It's nice isn't it?" Draco said, Y/N hummed and leaned against the window. She was no longer watching the view, she was watching him. The way his eyes glowed against the moons natural light.
She couldn't help the butterflies in her stomach, his hand cupped the side of her face. His thumb brushed up and down her cheek before he leaned in and kissed her.
She welcomed his mouth with hers, instantly deepening the kiss with her tongue. Draco let out a groan, he waited two years to get her like this. He didn't know how much longer he could wait.
Y/N's arms wrapped around his neck pulling him closer to her. He bent down picking her up by the back of her thighs, their mouths never disconnected.
Each second the kiss became more desperate, full of hunger and need. Both of them needed this, for two complete different reasons, but neither of them knew what the others were.
Draco managed to set Y/N on top of the island in his kitchen. His hands ran up her sides, brushing past her breasts and then back down to her thighs.
Y/N tried to get his shirt off, only managing to tear the top three buttons before giving up. She instead put her fingers through his hair, tugging on his neatly gelled hair, making it a now disheveled.
She swallowed his groans in her mouth, allowing him to push her legs open, which he settled between. He removed his mouth, Y/N was catching her breath, gasping heavily.
Draco made his way down her collar bone, sucking and biting at the spot which he knew would drive her crazy.
She whimpered, feeling him lick her pulse and then bite on it gently.
"God, Draco."
He let out a laugh and pulled her legs to the edge of the table so she was sitting half on it. She fell backwards waiting for him to touch her.
Her skirt had been bunched up around her waist, Draco pushed her thighs apart, he could see everything now. Her wet underwear, so flimsy, he was almost angered seeing her wear something so skimpy to a bar full of perverted men.
But he pushed his thoughts aside and kissed along her inner thighs. Wet kisses scorched her sensitive skin, she could still feel each kiss even when his mouth had left the area.
She was in a state of bliss, her thoughts and senses were overpowered by pleasure.
"Draco" she moaned, feeling him lick a long stripe up her pussy. The friction between his wet tongue and lace underwear caused her to jolt forward.
His finger curled underneath her underwear, he pulled it down her legs, throwing it on the ground carelessly.
His face was now centimetres away from her aching pussy. If she moved closer his mouth would be touching it, but she waited for him.
He sucked in a breath, the heat from his mouth fanned against her bare pussy. Sending chills down her spine which was already cold against the marble slab beneath her.
Draco could've said a thousand words, but he bit his tongue. He didn't want to make her feel weird or uncomfortable, so he kept his thoughts to himself.
His middle finger entered her without warning, Draco shut his eyes feeling her pussy clench the single finger. He let out a breath, eyes peering up at the beautiful witch in front of him.
She was still, frozen, only her chest heaving up and down. Draco was unsure if she was okay, but the way her pussy tightened around his finger showed that she was still with him.
He pushed it in and out a few times, testing her tightness, he wanted nothing more than to replace his finger with his cock, but he would wait.
"More" Y/N managed to squeak out.
He abided with her command and added a second finger. He would do anything she asked him to do at this moment.
He used a scissoring motion, stretching her, preparing her for his cock, which he knew he had to do. After watching her countless nights, he was fully aware that she hadn't had anyone since Hogwarts.
He wanted her to be ready for when she took his cock, he didn't want her to feel an ounce of pain. Only pleasure, and he wanted to be the one that gave it to her. The only one, to give it to her.
Y/N couldn't breathe, she hadn't felt like this in a long time. She couldn't even make herself cum, she was close, the teasing from the bar and now this.
"You look so beautiful Y/N— do you like that? Do you like feeling my fingers stretch your— tight little pussy?" Draco groaned, she didn't respond, only clenching her pussy again as a somewhat answer.
"God— I can't wait to feel you around my cock."
Draco latched his mouth onto her clit, sucking on it gently. His fingers were fucking her quickly, never losing there pace even when she gripped his hair tightly.
The wet noises made Draco hard. It was painful, he didn't know how to contain himself anymore. He wanted to be inside her now, he needed it— more than anything.
But her pleasure came first, always.
She was close, her low screams partnered with her squirming beneath his touch made Draco fully aware. He moved his fingers and replaced it with his tongue— finally tasting her.
He lapped up her arousal, savouring the taste. His fingers rubbed harshly on her clit as he prodded his tongue in and out of her.
She suddenly stilled and screamed his name, followed by multiple curse words. The orgasm washed over her, but Draco never stopped. He continued licking her until she was clean before he raised his head again.
His mouth shiny, covered in her cum. He licked his lips, humming at her taste.
Y/N's head fell back onto the table, she let out a shaky breath and sat up. She watched as he palmed his cock through his neatly ironed trousers.
His movements were slow, Y/N couldn't help but become aroused again. He was teasing her, he undone his belt slowly and unzipped his trousers. All while maintaining eye contact with her.
The room was filled with heavy breaths, Y/N couldn't wait to see what he had to offer. Never in a million years did she think she would fuck Draco Malfoy. But here she was, silently begging for him to do so.
His trousers were pushed down first, leaving him in his black boxers. They hardly disguised his erection, the tip was peaking out of the top, a wet patch surrounded it.
"You want this?" He smirked, rubbing his cock through his boxers. He squeezed the base and ran his hand up to the tip, groaning at his own pleasure. Y/N felt jealous, utterly jealous.
Y/N nodded quickly, licking her lips. He laughed, pushing his boxers down to his ankles.
A gasp tumbled out of her mouth, his cock stood up, reaching his belly button. It was hard, it looked like it was causing him pain.
How was she going to take that when she hadn't had sex in so long. Thank God she was a healer, she laughed to herself.
He pulled her to the edge again, "I'll stop if it hurts."
Y/N rolled her eyes, "just fuck me Draco."
He shook his head, lining his tip up with her entrance. He didn't enter just yet, he ran the tip up and down her pussy, nudging her clit with it a few times.
She chewed on her bottom lip, watching him closely. He just stared between them, sweat was trickling down his temple. He gulped heavily and closed his eyes.
"Draco?"
"Wait" he mumbled, he pushed inside of her, a strained groan coming from his throat.
Her pussy hugged him so tightly. He didn't know if he could ever pull out, or if he even wanted to.
Draco's hand went to her throat and held onto it tightly. He composed himself before pulling out and thrusting into her again, he tested a few different paces before deciding which one to go with.
He knew he wouldn't last long, so he went with short deep thrusts. That's what Y/N received, short, deep, delicious thrusts.
His hand was tight around her throat, making it hard for her to even breath— let alone moan. Draco's eyes were fixated on where the two were connecting.
"Fuck— your cunt is so— fucking tight" he grunted. His hips moved faster, and his hand only clasped tighter.
He leaned down and kissed her forehead. The coil in Y/N's stomach was about to snap again. When she closed her eyes she saw stars, her head was fuzzy, she felt disoriented.
"You're taking me so well— just like you us-"
He was cut off by a loud moan, Draco moved his hand from her neck, his thumb circled her clit leisurely. He watched her come undone for him, and that's all he ever wanted.
Y/N choked as her second orgasm bulldozed through her body. The way her pussy clenched around Draco forced him to come to an early orgasm.
It hit him unexpectedly, that had never happened before.
The two tried to regain their breaths. Draco was still inside her, currently too unstable to pull out. Y/N was desperately trying to get her normal vision back.
After a few minutes they were able to find a sense of normality. Draco raised his head, watching as Y/N gave him a lazy smile— no— a freshly fucked smile.
He pulled out of her, resulting in a wince escaping from her mouth. She sat up slowly, waiting for him to help her down from the island.
Y/N asked where the bathroom was, which Draco directed her to. She was weak, unstable, she needed help from him to find her way there. She felt uncomfortable, usually she would leave, but something about Draco made her want to stay.
But she couldn't, she didn't have time for men. After she cleaned herself up there was an awkward silence. Neither of the pair knew what to do.
Draco offered her to stay over but she refused. He put on a light smile, brushing off her rejection. But deep down the pang in his heart made him want to disappear.
"Goodnight Draco" Y/N whispered, placing a kiss on the corner of his mouth.
"Goodnight darling" he smiled.
He watched as she disappeared into the night. Hoping she would turn around and say she wanted to stay but she never.
Draco shut his flat door, he sighed in content, knowing he was one step closer to being reunited with his lost love. One day he would tell her everything that had happened, why he had to obliviate her.
But for now, he would just buy her one more drink.

Annnnddd another one!
Queen of diamonds
FemalexFemale 
***************
"Okay so the auction will be held here..." James, the leader of the team starts while pointing at a specific place on the blueprint. Him Chris Ryan and Amber stand around the perfectly shaped circle table, looking at the blueprint while James talks. "...the control room is over here but the elevator is guarded to get in." James finishes.
"So that's why you and Chris have to be distractions that way I can get in the elevator and get to the control room. From there while the auction is starting I kill the power, then from there I get the diamond." Ryan states, crossing his arms while he talks.
"That poses another problem. Since this red expensive diamond is being sold tonight we know the Queen of Diamonds will be there as well." Chris states.
Amber smiles, she very well knows that Queen of Diamonds will be there tonight. Amber and the woman already know each other...well. They have a game that they like to play, a game of dangerous and serious attraction, but they tease themselves into not doing anything with each other just yet. It is exhilarating, it is a game that they enjoy playing, a game that they both try best to win. Amber is not one for giving up, neither is QOD, and that is what makes it all the more fun.
"That's where Amber comes in, you will have to distract her while we are working on getting Ryan in the elevator." James states.
Amber smiles, all of them know of the attraction and...relationship that QOD and Amber holds. Amber tells the men specifically not to even think about the woman in a sexual way, she is Ambers and Ambers only. The men understand and they don't try to pride, especially when they finally met the woman, yes they admit QOD is a very attractive woman but they always pegged her for too much, really just wanting to put a bullet in between her brain. But they don't because of what Amber tells them, and they respect her decisions. "Not a problem." Amber states simply.
James nods. "Alright everyone, we got our plan, let's get dressed and put it in motion." James states, going to the door to make his way into his room, everyone else does the same, going to there own rooms to get ready.
First Amber takes a shower, making sure her skin is shaved to be hair free, washing her hair and blowing it dry after she gets out. After moisturizing Amber puts on a golden glittery long dress with a long slit going from her upper thigh to her leg,  showing her soft and smooth skin and toned thigh and leg. Amber puts on her golden open toed heels, the one strap dress showing her cleavage perfectly well. Amber puts her hair in a high ponytail, going to put on her golden hoop earrings, looking at herself in the mirror. Deeply satisfied with her look Amber makes her way out of the room, beginning to go down the large flight of stairs in the corridor. Amber sees James Chris and Ryan dressed in suits, all of them at the bottom floor looking at Amber with their hands in there pockets. Amber makes it to the third step, smiling and putting a hand on her hip before saying her next words.
"Boys, let's get this party started."
~
When they finally make it to the large event center Amber makes her way out of the car, the driver helping her out of the car respectfully. Amber and the others make there way over to the bouncer, all of them showing there VIP tickets, not even bothering to wait in the long line. The bouncer gives a curt nod, stepping aside to let them all through.
"Does everyone see there position?" James questions over his earpiece, him and Chris putting on black sunglasses to dress the same as the security guards blocking the elevator.
Ryan stands over to the side, holding his duffle bag subtly. "Roger." Ryan confirms.
"Done and done." Amber states over the earpiece, rounding the corner to see no other but QOD. The woman wears a black tight fitted sparkly dress that comes to her mid thigh, the dress strapless as well. Amber takes a moment to look at the woman's backside, her ass looking as perky as ever, the way her toned legs and thighs look as she stands more on her left leg, making her left hip pop up more, her black hair in a neat bun with a few strands hanging free, her smooth olive skin shinning almost. The woman stands looking at a piece of abstract artwork. 
Amber makes her way over to QOD, standing a little behind her. "Beautiful view." Amber directs before standing besides the woman.
QOD chuckles, still looking ahead of her at the artwork while holding her glass of champagne. "Me or this masterpiece?" The woman questions while pointing at the artwork.
Amber turns her gaze over to the woman, her eyes scanning down her front side. "And here I thought you were the masterpiece." Amber teases.
The woman smiles, her dark gray eyes turning to Amber. Amber must admit that the woman's eyes are her most favorite thing about her. "Trust me I am the masterpiece, your long stare at me proved that all the more true. But this beauty...." The woman says while turning back to the artwork. "....you have to look hard enough to truly see its beauty." The woman comments.
Amber hums, really not having any interest for the piece of abstract art, nor does she care to look hard enough to see the 'beauty' in so many colors thrown all over the place.
"It is a long night of bids Amber, what did you come here to bid on tonight?" The woman questions, turning her body towards Amber.
Amber smiles, still looking ahead of her. "What do you think I'm trying to bid on tonight sugar?" 
QOD scoffs. "I told you to stop calling me that." 
Amber looks over at QOD. "Then tell me your name and I'll consider it." 
"Nice try, I know you are here for the red diamond. And you are already too late." QOD comments. "The bid will go up to ten million, a amount I already affirmed to." 
"Is that right?" Amber questions.
"Precisely, so you might as well cut your loses now." QOD responds, giving one last stare at Amber before she brushes pass her, beginning to make her way through the main corridor. Amber only smiles, turning around and grabbing the woman by the arm, making her body front collide with Ambers front. QOD let's out a small gasp, her hands going to Amber's shoulders to make sure she didn't fall. "What are you doing?" QOD questions kind of angrily.
"I wasn't done with you." Amber directs.
"I decide when we are done talking, and I did." QOD states back, trying to pry herself free but Amber only holds her tighter.
Amber takes the woman hand in hers, the other wrapping around her waist in a dancing position. "Let's not cause a scene sugar, be good and follow my lead." Amber says, walking them to the hall room, the couples being seen dancing together to the calm and sensual music. Amber settles in a spot, a spot where she can see the elevator that James and Chris are already standing beside of, camouflaging and looking like the guards. "That wasn't so hard now was it?" Amber questions the woman, beginning to dance with QOD.
The woman rolls her eyes, her hand holding Amber's while her other arm goes around Amber's neck. "And why is it that you insist on dancing with me?" QOD questions, making sure to push her body closer to Amber's.
"I can't dance with a beautiful woman?" Amber teasingly questions, twirling the woman around before she brings her back.
"I can't help but to think but your intention is just for a mere distraction..." QOD comments before twirling around once again, wrapping her leg around Amber's waist when she comes back to her. "...wouldn't it be a pity if that were the case." QOD says, there faces only inches from each other.
"Does that hurt your ego sugar? Careful now, I know many of ways I can ruin that pretty little face." Amber says, spinning the woman around before she tilts her down, almost touching the floor. Amber takes that quick second to see Ryan making his way in the elevator, it closing behind him. Amber brings up the woman just as quick, bringing her back to her.
"And how exactly would you ruin my prepossessing face?" QOD questions while she spins around, this time putting her backside on Amber, subtly grinding herself against her. Amber puts her hands on the woman's hips, letting her hips move against her.
After a few seconds Amber turns the woman around, colliding her front side back with hers, there faces only inches apart. "Very carefully." Amber responds.
The woman looks at Amber for a few more minutes, her eyes glazing it seems like to Amber.
"Attention all guests, the auction will start in five minutes. Please take this moment to find your seats." The man says over the speakers.
QOD clears her throat, taking a step away from Amber. "Until next time." The woman says before she begins to make her way to the large auction room, her hips swaying effortlessly in the process.
Amber just looks at her while she licks her lips. Damn how I want that ass Amber thinks to herself.
"Nice job Amber." James says over the earpiece, him and Chris going to the auction room to stand to the side, watching the auction getting started.
Amber smiles, going to make her way to a seat at the end of the row to the left side to where she has a clear view of QOD in the front in the middle at the end row as well. "I know, I'm kind of a big deal." Amber says, brushing herself off before she watches the auction getting started.
"Sold to the madam in the back." The auction man says before the guards come to get the painting off the stage.It has been one hour and Amber subtly looks around.
"The diamond is coming up next." Amber states over the earpiece.
Ryan looks at the wires and circuits leading up to the main frame and board, putting his duffle bag on the table. "This might take a minute." Ryan states, taking out some tools from his bag.
"I hope by a minute you actually mean a minute." Amber states, looking at the guards place the diamond on the small holder.
"By a minute I need a hot minute." Ryan states.
"We don't have a hot minute." Chris states over the earpiece.
"Well make a hot minute! Please and thank you." Ryan 
Amber rolls her eyes, hearing QOD and the man fight for the bidding, it gradually going up by one million.
"I have 8 million do I have 9 million?" The auction man questions.
"9 million." The man says while holding up his hand.
"9 million do I have 10 million?" 
"Ryan we need something." Amber says.
"Look you cannot rush perfection okay! Just a second here!" Ryan says.
"Okay I have 10 million! Going once! Going twice?!" 
"Here goes nothing..." Amber says before she stands up. "...20 million dollars!" Amber exclaims, putting a hand on her hip while doing so and smiling.
Everyone gasp in surprise, even the auction man's eyes widening. QOD turns her gaze over to Amber, Amber giving the woman a quick wink.
The auction man clears his throat, taking a glance at QOD. "Okay well umm...I have 20 million, going once..."
"21 million." QOD says.
"30 million dollars!" Amber says again, still standing while smiling. Everyone looks at the situation in awe and attentive eyes, the auction man continuing on with his process.
"31 million." The woman states.
"Come on Ryan I am spending money I don't have here." Amber says quietly before putting her hand up. "40 million dollars!"
"It would help if you didn't keep going up 10 million." James says over the earpiece.
Amber rolls her eyes. "Last time I checked I was buying us time. You're welcome." 
"O...okay I have 40 million...going once going..."
"Done!" Ryan exclaims, on cue the power goes out, making some gasps and screams occur and rapid movement.
"Chris! Hurry and get the diamond and get to the car!" James exclaims, running toward the crowd.
Amber quickly makes her way to the front row in the middle, not seeing QOD where she was. "The Queen is after the diamond! Watch yourself Chris, I am going to find her." Amber says, beginning to make her way through the crowd.
"I have the diamond, going to the car..." Chris starts but a thud interrupts him. James and Amber hear Chris grunt loudly while screaming.
"Chris?!" James exclaims.
"Chris what's going on?!" Amber exclaims.
"That...bitch stabbed me." Chris grunts while holding his bloody thigh that the knife is stuck in. "The Queen of diamonds has the fucking diamond."
Amber holds her finger on her earpiece while looking ahead of her, seeing the woman dash through the hallway. "I'm on it." Amber says, beginning to quickly make her way through the crowd, dodging and sliding under bodies to go faster. Amber runs through the hallway, occasionally punching and taking out guards in her way. When Amber finally rounds the corner she stops to see QOD in front of her, a small brown bag over her.
"I'm going to need that diamond sugar, give it to me." Amber states, holding her hand out.
The woman only kicks off her heels, putting her hair in a high ponytail before saying her next words. "Make me."
Amber nods, going to swiftly land a punch on the woman but QOD quickly dodges it, moving to the side to land a kick on Amber. Amber slumps with a huff. QOD takes this opportunity to jump up on Amber, wrapping her legs around Amber's neck to choke her. Amber's hands go on the woman's hips, slamming her to the silver smooth metal table, making the woman hit her back hard with a thud, resulting in a grunt.
"This is a dangerous position to be in with me sugar." Amber says in between the woman's thighs, feeling her head being suffocated in between them.
"Oh yeah? Why's that?" The woman questions, holding her legs tightly around Ambers head.
"Because you couldn't fucking handle it." Amber says before taking the woman's legs away from her head, spreading them before flipping the woman, making her front collide with the table hard. Amber is about to handcuff her but QOD quickly arches her back, head butting Amber with the back of her head. Amber grunts as she stumbles back a little. QOD turns around but she is quickly pushed back on the table on her back, Ambers hands wrapped around her throat tightly.
QOD chokes, her mouth opening while she looks at Amber. "You're...going...to choke me out Amber?" QOD tries to get out, looking into Ambers blue eyes that gold anger and irritation. "Must say...that's...actually kind of hot." QOD breaths.
"Wait!" James exclaims, standing a few feet besides Amber and the woman. "You're here for the diamond right? The diamond to lead you to what you really want. The blue diamond." James says, slowly making his way over to the women. "Draw back Amber." James says.
Amber looks at the woman, seeing her fight to breathe, her face beginning to turn pale. Amber growls before she finally lets the woman go roughly, taking a few steps back. 
The woman coughs out while she slowly sits up, holding her neck while giving a look at Amber, her eyes only darken, her pupils dilated. "Oh yeah?" QOD questions while looking at Amber, rubbing her neck a little before turning her gaze over to James, holding the bag she has over her. "I got what I came for." 
"But you want something more, the blue diamond which is held in Hunters possession." James says.
Ambers eyes widen, turning to look at James. "For real?" Amber questions.
"Yes. Hunter is what we want, we know that diamond leads us to him. All we want is Hunter, which you are trying to track him down as well to get the blue diamond. If we work together we can both get what we want here." James counters, looking at QOD.
QOD stands up, looking between Amber and James. "Why are you looking for Hunter?" 
"He didn't pay up when he was suppose to, bad business for him." Amber responds.
"So if we work together, you help us find Hunter, we help you get your blue diamond, and you get to keep the red diamond." James says. "Sound like a deal?" James questions. QOD still looks between him and Amber, her gaze focusing a little on Amber.
"And what? You don't trust us sugar?" Amber questions teasingly, making a sad pouty face at the woman.
QOD only rolls her eyes, taking a harsh breath of annoyance. She knows if she does make the deal with them it would help her find the diamond faster, but only thing she just hates working with other people.
But she knows the better decision.
~
Amber looks and studies at the maps and blueprints on the table, her eyes scanning through the many labels and pathways on the blueprints. Amber takes a swig of her beer, taking off her soft white hoodie and placing it on the chair, just wearing some tight black night shorts and a black sports bra. Amber puts her light brown hair up in a high ponytail, it beginning to get in her way while she looks at blueprints.
QOD agreed to the deal after a long time of stares. The diamond was given to her and it was promised by her that she would lead the team to Hunter. The woman even supplied James with blueprints of Hunters mansion and bases that the team could look over, blueprints that James put Amber in charge of. James in turn promised QOD that the blue diamond and any other diamonds within Hunters possessions would be hers after he is found. The deal was made, and now new plans had to be set out to carry out both ends of the deal.
The door knob tries to open but the lock from the inside prevents it. Amber hears a knock go on the door since it wasn't able to be open from the outside. Amber makes her way to the door, opening it to see QOD, wearing only a tight dark pink spaghetti strap nightdress that comes to her upper thigh, showing her soft and shiny skin. The  woman brushes pass Amber, making her way into the room.
Amber shuts the door, making sure to lock it as well. "And here I thought you wouldn't accept the offer of staying in one of our safe houses." Amber states, making her way back to the table, taking another swig of her beer.
QOD looks around the neat room, her fingers lightly trailing down the table in a bored manner. "I changed my mind." The woman states simply, going more towards Amber to see her looking at the blueprints. "It's almost midnight Amber, why are you still looking at blueprints?" The woman questions, standing besides Amber while looking at the prints.
"You can never be to prepared." Amber answers while grabbing the blueprints, rolling them up and putting them neatly on side of the table. "Besides, I don't trust you. Had to make sure the prints were actually legit." Amber adds in, looking over at QOD while placing the blueprints down, turning her body to look at the woman after she is done.
QOD chuckles, taking Amber's beer from the table and taking a sip from it, all the while keeping her dark gray eyes on Amber. "It would be unwise to trust me Amber, consider this only...a marriage of convenience." The woman says, letting the top of the beer bottle graze her bottom lip as she looks at Amber.
Amber smiles. "Is that so? If that's the case then I want a divorce and I'm keeping the kids." 
QOD chuckles, going to put down the beer bottle. "As of right now we are still married, so what is it that married one's do?" The woman questions, coming closer to Amber.
Amber tilts her head. "Did our fighting session make you feel a certain type of way sugar?" 
QOD smirks, biting her lip a little in thought. "Maybe I just want to see if you are actually true to your words, you do talk a lot of talk." The woman challenges, quirking a brow at Amber.
Amber only chuckles, suddenly putting a hand around QOD's neck and pushing her back on the edge of the table, the woman gasping from the sudden action. Amber is quick, her reflexes and moves are like a snap of a finger, it is fast and quick when she wants them to be. "In other words you are horny, and you need a certain someone to fix that little problem." Amber says before pressing her lips on the woman's, her hand still around the woman's throat.
QOD immediately kisses Amber back, moaning into the kiss and bringing Amber closer, her arms going around Ambers neck. There heads tilt to the side as there kiss becomes harder and harder, kissing each other deeper, each of them tasting the beer on there breath, the softness of there lips making both women crave for more. The attraction was always dangerous, but dangerous makes it all the more lustful, all the more addicting and all the more sweet, all the more alluring and exhilarating. 
Amber puts her hands on QOD's hips, putting the woman on the table. QOD wraps her legs around Ambers waist, riding up her nightdress in the process. The woman feels Ambers hand travel father down to the place she needs her most. "Tell me why you're here sugar." Amber says on the woman's lips, her mouth going to the woman's neck to nip and suck on her skin,  forming and leaving her marks during her journey, pushing open the woman's thighs more.
QOD feels her eyes flutter close, feeling Ambers hand brush up against her inner thigh, her nails dragging up and down her skin. It only heightens the growing ache and anticipation and arousal that the woman feels, but it still doesn't take away from the Queens stubbornness. "I want to see...if you can...truly live up to your word." The woman says in between breaths, wanting to bring her hips closer to Amber, but she prevents at the given moment.
Amber only smiles on the woman's neck, licking on her earlobe. "Is that why you can barely talk?" Amber teasingly questions, her teeth gently biting on the woman's pulse point, running her tongue on the spot. The woman whimpers from the action, feeling Amber suck on one of her sensitive places. QOD tilts her neck to give Amber more access, her hand going to the back of Amber's head, never wanting her mouth to leave that spot, or if it does let it go to a different spot that will give the woman great pleasure. "Is that why you can't even answer me right now?" Amber whispers in the woman's ear, her fingers trailing closer and closer to the woman's core, her nails trailing up QOD's inner thigh, the woman subconsciously spreading her legs. "Is that why you are giving yourself to me willingly?" Amber says, her fingers finally meeting the woman's core, feeling up her slick wetness. "Is that why you are so wet for me already sugar?" 
The woman can't answer, she only begins to breathe heavy, feeling Ambers fingers run through her folds. QOD can't help but buck her hips, wanting to chase more, not gaining enough stimulation from the actions. "Amber..." the woman breaths, her gray eyes locking with Ambers light blue ones.
"I ask you again sugar..." Amber starts, her lips touching QOD's but not kissing her. "...why are you here?" Amber questions.
"Just as I said, just want to see if you actually are as good as you say." QOD responds back, not even getting time to smirk when she feels Amber push her fingers in deep inside of her. "..ffuuccckkk!" The woman drags out in a high pitch tone, more of it coming out as a whimper, her hands going to Ambers shoulders while her head goes back slightly.
"So you want to play games? It's alright because I love games. At least when I am in the mood for them." Amber says, pushing her fingers in knuckles deep, circling them around the woman's walls. 
"Shit." The woman moans loudly, feeling Amber's fingers move in a slow antagonizing pace. QOD whimpers and groans lowly, her head coming back down to look at Amber.
"Amber..."
"Tell me why you're here, tell me why you are letting my fingers fuck you deep." Amber commands, her thumb brushing up against the woman's clit teasingly, not giving her enough stimulation on it, her thumb going away as soon as it comes. QOD whimpers in a whiny manner, her legs kicking in a way of throwing a tantrum. "Aww the sugar is frustrated. You are only bringing it on yourself. I know this isn't enough for you..." Amber starts, her fingers still going at a slow but deep pace every time she pushes her fingers in. "...so tell me why you're here, and I'll give you the roughest fuck of your life." Amber finishes.
The woman has had enough, she doesn't want to be stubborn anymore. She wants exactly what Amber is promising her right now, plus it is always hard to resist the urge to completely submit to the woman. How can you not? Amber is a literal boss, and even though she is not in charge of the team she is associated with, it still doesn't stop her or hurt her ego. It is one of the things QOD greatly admires about Amber, she doesn't have to be in charge of everything to actually be in charge. "I want you to fuck me." The woman admits.
Amber pulls out her fingers to give the woman a hard slap to her clit. QOD let's out a breathless gasp as she jumps from the action, not expecting it. "Sounds like a command, who do you think is in charge here?" Amber questions.
QOD whimpers from the lost of the full feeling she was just receiving, now having a feeling of emptiness. "You are."
"Precisely. So why are you demanding me little girl?" Amber questions, her other hand going to the bottom of the woman's face to make her look at her.
QOD bites her lip, finding Ambers dominance and looks completely arousing and absolutely attractive. It never fails to make the woman wet, and it definitely never fails now. "Please fuck me." QOD says more breathlessly now.
"Yeah? Say it again." Amber says, her fingers brushing up against the woman's clit.
"Please! Please fuck me Amber. Please?" The woman's finally begs, tired of waiting.
Amber smiles in triumph, knowing she just won the constant battle that they were always fighting on. Amber pushes her two fingers back inside of the woman, her fingers moving quickly inside of QOD while her thumb begins rubbing on her clit. "Now that wasn't so hard now was it?" Amber questions, looking at the woman who knows has her eyes closed while her mouth is open, her cheeks flushing. QOD opens her eyes, shaking her head while she bites her lip and keeps her gaze on Amber. Amber can admit that the woman is a masterpiece, she is so damn hot and Amber loves the look that she has on her face right now, the look of sheer pleasure. "Yeah? You like that sugar?" Amber questions, still pumping her fingers deep inside of the woman while looking at her.
QOD nods her head while keeping her gaze locked with Ambers. "Yes! Yes I like...ahh! Like it!" The woman moans out, grinding her hips along with Ambers thrust, her head going back as she moans out loudly, not caring if anyone else hears. "Fuck! Mmm!" The woman feels herself clench around Ambers fingers, spasming slightly as well as she feels her stomach tighten.
Amber fingers begin to thrust in quicker. "About to cum on my fingers now sugar?" Amber questions, pushing in a third finger inside of the woman, her hand furiously going in a up and down motion, making the pad of her hand rub up against the woman's clit. QOD screams out, her legs spreading wider for Amber as she continues her beautiful and magical onslaught, the onslaught that has QOD shake and scream, not even to answer the question as she releases on Ambers fingers, clasping her legs around Ambers waist.
QOD pushes Ambers hand away, feeling her sensitivity rise after her orgasm. The woman takes deep breaths, trying to catch up with them as she sits there. One second she is catching her breath and next second she is pushed on the table, her back hitting the cool table making her grunt. QOD's legs subconsciously goes around Amber's neck, looking at Amber right in between her thighs. "I heard this was a dangerous position to be in." QOD comments, very well remembering this position they were in a few hours ago.
Amber chuckles, riding up the woman's nightdress to make it bunch up on her stomach. "You are about to see just how dangerous it can get sugar."
The woman can't help but moan from that, her ass slightly coming off the table to come closer to Amber's mouth. "Show me...but not to hard. I'm still..." the woman starts but she is interrupted when Amber pushes down her hips back on the table, holding them there as her tongue begins to flick around everywhere, paying special attention to the woman's clit. QOD immediately moans out and pants, her hips trying to buck but Amber prevents just that. "...sensitive!" QOD states in a higher pitch voice. "Amber! Oh god! Oh god p..please! God you're...going to damn fast!" QOD pants, feeling Amber's tongue move wildly against her.
QOD knows she grows very sensitive after her orgasm, she always has to take a break in between them before the next. Amber doesn't let that happen though, and based on how hard and quick and swift her tongue is moving right now, she won't be stopping anytime soon. Especially when Amber hears the woman's screams, her cries and how she tries to desperately buck her hips but Amber holds them down. The woman only screams all the more louder when she feels Amber's mouth wrap around her most sensitive area of her body, sucking on her clit harshly while the flat of her tongue rubs around it.
"Holy shit!" The woman screams, her back arching up in surprise and the harsh shocks that begin to course through her body. It is pleasurable, it feels so good but it is also intense. Amber's tongue is fervent against the woman. "Amber! Amber! Ah fuck! Fuck! Ahhhh!" The woman wails, feeling tears threaten to escape her eyes from her sensitivity.
Amber only pulls away to roughly turn the woman around, making QOD hit the table on her stomach. "Now for that ass." Amber says, slapping the woman's ass on both her cheeks before Amber gets down on her knees, spreading the woman's perfect cheeks apart, showing her wet lips and puckered hole. Amber goes to spit on QOD's puckered hole before she runs her tongue over it, her tongue swirling around it before the flat of her tongue begins to rub on it in a up and down motion.
The woman's hands grip the edge of the table, her eyes closing while her mouth hangs open. QOD has never had her ass licked or eaten like this before, never would she imagine having someone else do it but this....this is something else, Ambers mouth is something else. That proves all the more true when Amber penetrates the woman's asshole with her tongue, pushing her warm wet muscle inside of the tight puckered hole. "Oh my god! Fuck...yes! Please fuck my ass." The woman begs.
Amber's hands go to QOD's ass, gripping her cheeks slightly before she lands a hard slap to them, the loud sound echoing off the walls. Amber continues with this motion, for every slap she gives the woman whimpers and cries out in reply. "You like that little slut? You like it when I fuck your ass with my tongue?" 
"Yes! Yes I love it! Please more!" QOD begs out.
"Nah, I want this pussy more." Amber states.
"N..no I'm..." the woman tries but she feels Ambers tongue go back on her pussy, roughly sucking her lips and sensitive folds. "...Ah god!" 
"God won't save you from this sugar." Amber says, giving the woman's ass slap after slap, making it sore and a bright red, causing stinging sensations and QOD crying out with every slap.
"Oh please! It..it's so much." The woman moans, feeling Ambers tongue enter her, bringing her fingers up to rub QOD's clit. "Shit!" The woman moans, feeling her second and very powerful orgasm wash over her, making her shake and convulse on the table, accidentally pushing the blueprints off the table with her arm. "Amber please!"
"Please what?" Amber questions, her fingers still rubbing on QOD's clit.
"Fuck...ngh." The woman whimpers, trying to bring her hips away from Amber's fingers.
Amber only chuckles. "Who knew the tough little girl grew so sensitive after she cums. Hmmm.... Should I feel pity on you?" Amber questions, still rubbing her fingers around the woman's clit.
QOD whines. "At least.... Give me a little break." The woman breaths out.
"Should I though? I mean you never give me a break, why should I give you one?"
"Because I'm asking nicely." QOD replies.
Amber chuckles. "Maybe, but you must make me believe. Why should I hmm?" 
"Because.... I'll please you if you do."
"Please me how?"
"Whatever you want."
"Whatever I want?"
"Whatever you want." QOD repeats, still having some after socks from her last very powerful orgasm she just had.
Amber looks down at the woman before her, seeing her ass a bright red, her arousal on the hard tiled floor, her smooth skin on display, her toes barely touching the floor, her shaking body still trying to recover from the orgasms Amber just gave to her. It is truly a sight, a sight Amber wants to see more of. Yes Amber knows of makes her cruel, and the thought only brings a evil smile to Ambers face, knowing she will enjoy these next moments to the fullest. Amber licks her lips, going to rub QOD's ass softly. The woman sighs contently as Amber rubs her ass. Amber wants to laugh, because she knows those soft sighs won't last for long.
"You know what I want you to do sugar?" Amber questions, roughly turning QOD around and ripping off her nightdress. It is the next command that lets QOD know she will be sore and sensitive beyond compare after this night.
"Take what I give you like a good girl."

Silver Chariot Agency: An Introduction
This is the first chapter/prologue to my jjba sugar daddy au.  To clarify, it’s modern day, with reader x various Jojo characters, all of which are of age, and “sugar daddies”.  I’m hoping to have several options/outcomes for various characters, kind of like a chose you own adventure story, or a dating visual novel.  As a note, this story may contain some dark themes and content, including drug use, yandere, sex scenes, and other things I haven’t currently planned out.
TLDR: this is the story about Y/N, who starts working at Polnareff’s sugar daddy agency and meets lots of hot jojo guys
ENJOY!!!
“Mr. Polnareff is ready to see you now!”  The cheerful secretary (Suzy, you think)  calls out, breaking you from your stupor and ushering you behind large, intimidating doors.   You grew up with dreams bigger than this, having a good career, doing something important with your life, but life had other plans.  You’ve been unemployed for nearly a year, and despite all the classes you’ve taken, interviews you’ve aced, and concessions to pay and pride just to be considered, you still had no job, and your unemployment had finally run out.  Long story short, you were desperate.  That’s when you first heard about the Agency.
You had noticed an email from the Silver Chariot Agency buried between job applications and rejection letters, and confusing it for a job offer, had opened it to read.  According to the email, you had been “scouted” as someone with the qualifications to apply for what appeared to be a Sugar Daddy, or Escort, service.    The email was polite, open and honest, but you couldn’t help but be a bit skeptical, if not mildly offended. There’s nothing wrong with sex work, mind you, but it wasn’t something you had any interest in if you could avoid it. You weren’t interested in selling yourself, and even if you weren’t wealthy, you weren’t ready to auction off your time to creepy old perverts just yet.  Not to mention, how safe were these agencies?  Still, the email had an open doors policy for any questions, as well as a phone number and email to direct all your questions.  You were going to delete the email, but somehow you couldn’t bring yourself to.  You saved it in your folder, and forgot about it for a few months.
Cut to today:  you couldn’t cover your rent, your auto bill, and your credit cards were maxed out.  After sending an email, and talking on the phone to a cheerful woman, she convinced you to visit their offices and talk to their C.E.O,  who was visiting your nearest location on business.  Surprised by their openness, and relieved not to have a door slammed in your face for once, you made an appointment and were now following Suzy through an impressive office space.  Silver Chariot had its own expensive looking building, with high ceilings, metal tones and spotlessly clean wall to wall windows and mirrors.  The place reeked of elegance, intimidatingly so, and you regretted your outfit choice for this interview.  
Suzy finally escorted you into a conference room, with an expansive metal table and tufted leather chairs that probably cost more than your car.  Then, at the end of the conference table, you saw a silver haired gentleman, who Suzy introduced as, “Mr. Polnareff, this is y/n, call me if you need anything!”  and with that, she left and closed the door.  You noticed  Mr.Polnareff didn’t stand up to greet you and shake your hand-not out of rudeness, but because he was in a wheelchair.  On top of that, he had an unusual looking eye patch, and despite clearly being too young to be considered elderly, had prematurely grey hair slicked back in an unusual pompadour.
He shook your hand firmly, and smiled at you as he greeted you, “It’s so lovely to meet you, y/n, I've been looking forward to seeing you in person.  Tell me, what brings you here today?”  He asked, sitting forward and listening intently.  You fiddled with your hands, trying to politely, but vaguely, explain your situation, without sounding too much like a sob story.  Polnareff listened without interrupting, merely nodding, as you explained what you’ve been through.
  “That sounds like a difficult situation- it is difficult in this day and age for young people to support themselves, even more so when they have no one to help them when needed.  I, myself, had to support not only myself, but my younger sister, Cherie, when I was your age.  It was difficult, to say the least, and I didn’t always handle it gracefully to be honest with you.  When my sister saw how much we were struggling, she decided to try helping herself and me by turning to sex work.”
You were shocked by his openness, telling so much of his personal story to a total stranger interviewing at his agency.  He continued,
“Back in my day, the streets of France were not a safe place to sex workers, least of all vulnerable women unable to defend themselves.  It was one of those nights, while my sister was working, that she was tragically attacked and killed.  She had no way of protecting herself, as I wasn’t with her, and the police were just as dangerous.  She died alone because no one was willing to help save her, myself included.  He paused, rubbing his temples as he remembered.
You tried to stop him, “Um, you don’t have to-”  you began, but he held up a hand and assured you,
 “I am fine, it is a painful, but old wound, and important you hear.  It was the most devastating event of my life, but it shaped me into the man I am today.  You see, because of what happened to my sister, I was determined to provide a safe place to any and all women and sex workers, no questions asked, to protect them from things that could happen to them.  Sex work is not something to be criminalized or judged; it is the oldest profession and a valuable work. So, The Silver Chariot Agency provides a safe way to support those in the industry.  That being said, working as an escort, or as it's sometimes called, ‘sugar baby’-”
 he punctuates the term with bunny ear fingers, “-Can be dangerous work.  There is always a risk of assault, and rape, however hard we may try to combat it, but our agency has extremely strict policies and protection plans to protect our workers in either case. I promise , should you decide to work here, that I will do everything in my power to keep you safe.”  Polnareff grabs your hand, looking into your eyes, intensely.  
You know you’ve just met him, but you’re inclined to believe Polnareff.  He’s either an excellent liar, or simply cares deeply about his company and employees.  
“There are, of course, other things to consider before you decide to take this job.  It is  a job, and many of our clients aren’t looking for romance, but some are hoping to find love and a potential romantic partner via our agency.  Some are looking for purely sexual relationships, and some want nothing to do with sex.  Some of our clients are involved with...less than legal hobbies and activities, and we strongly caution you not to get involved, as our legal department and contracts can only protect you so far.  If you decide to engage, do so with caution. 
“ Lastly, you ultimately get to decide who you want to pick as your clients, so choose wisely.  I have Suzy-”  He gestures to the woman, presumably waiting down the hall to escort you when ready, “Write up summaries and information on every applicant who have expressed an interest in our agency.  Make sure to carefully review them, and choose the client you think will have the best relationship.”  He finishes, giving you a lot to think of.  He can see the gears turn in your mind, and gives you time.  “Please, don’t feel like you have to respond today. Or, if you try this out and don’t like it, you can leave the agency or specific clients, with no fear of repercussions.”  He Pulls away from the table, and turns towards the door, before pausing.
He seems to change his mind, shaking his head as Suzy gets the door for him.
“I look forward to seeing you again, regardless of your decision, mon amie.  I’ll let Suzy handle the rest for today, thank you.  If you decide to accept, just call Suzy and ask her to see some client applications to pick out who you’d like to work with. Au revoir.”  And with that, Mr. Polnareff disappears with surprising speed.  Any other questions and details are handled by Suzy, who cheerfully tells you about the position, average salaries, tax information, and your typical FAQ.  You listen mutely, occasionally nodding along,  but you’re still thinking about everything Polnareff told you.  You could not only support yourself with this  job, but make a killing, while still being safe and having a say in the relationships.  This could work. This could work…
Less than 24 hours later, Suzy gets another phone call at the office.  “Silver Chariot Agency, this is Suzy, how may I assist you today?”  She asks cheerily.  A familiar voice whispers on the other end, “Do you think I could see some of those client Applications, please?”

scrubs - 5.
pairing: doctor!sebastian stan x biomedical scientist!reader
warnings: medical check up (please do not follow any of the medical advice described her)
a/n: this will have another chapter aside from this one because yes. 
< previous chapter
Tumblr media
    - Y/N, stop being childish. - Sebastian rolled his eyes at the scientist now holding herself against reception, deciding she’d rather be seen by anyone but him. - Y/N, c’mon.
    - I don’t want to be seen by you. There are over 50 nurses on shift today and any of them can do a basic exam better than you. - she held onto that counter for dear life, knowing the moment she decided to let go, her ankle would give up on her. Nevertheless, she knew what nurses were capable off and most of the times they wouldn’t even need a doctor’s opinion so she definitely didn’t need him. 
    - Yeah but ... - he approached her, a smug smile forming on his entirely way too handsome face. - But I know your body so, so well, darling. I think I can figure out if something is wrong.
Y/N smiled sarcastically, cocking her head to the side before kicking his leg. Sebastian bite down onto his lip, back hunching slightly as a few nurses passed by. He waved at them, smiling as if his tibia throbbed due to her kick. For a small woman, she sure had a powerful kick. He straightened his back, pulling one of the wheel chairs from the back of the reception and rolling it up to where she was but she remained as stiff as one could be with a swollen ankle, with one hand against her hip while the other one firmly gripped the counter of the reception. 
   - Sit down, Y/N. Don’t make me write you up as unfit to work today.
   - I am not unfit to work today, I am unfit to look at your face for more than 5 seconds.  
   - Okay, Y/N then walk in a straight line for me, straight spine, shoulders back. - he stepped out of her way.
She considered trying to do that, surely she could deal with the pain of her own weight on her ankle for at least a few minutes. Yet again she considered the options of successfully doing so and getting away from him until another doctor or nurse passed by and the option of falling flat on her face in front of him. Her resolve quickly wore down as she remembered just  how small her tolerance of pain was and how much she did not want to embarrass herself in front of him by falling on her face.  Unlike him, she could be professional. After all she wasn’t the first staff member to sleep with a doctor and certainly wouldn’t be the last; besides, she was nothing if not a professional. She sighed, sitting down on the worn out fabric of the wheel chair. She’d give him this one, she thought to herself as he wheeled her into his office.
Despite her constantly nagging him about his results, she’d actually never gone up to his office that often. Dr. Stan was normally the one who’d made his way to her laboratory not the other way around. As a long time doctor, he had his own little office to receive his patients and as such, he decorated it how he pleased it and despite her wanting nothing but to compliment him after his past actions, she had to admit it was probably one of the calmest more inviting offices she’d seen before. Instead of the scary almost macabre posters of human anatomy and regular pathologies, he had some abstract art on his walls with one or two models on his desk and a most likely fake plant on too. 
     - Want help getting onto the stretcher? 
     - Fuck off, Stan. I can do it myself. - she couldn’t do it herself. 
She looked at the stretcher as a goal keeper looks at a football. The stretcher couldn’t be taller than the height from her feet to just slightly above her hip, yet it seems as if that height was now taller than Mount Everest. Y/N calculated her movements and put her hands on top of the stretcher, pulling herself up with her arms and dragging herself into the middle of the stretcher, legs and arms out but her torso was in so she wiggled herself into laying down completely on the stretcher before pulling herself up.
    - We could’ve done that in a second if you’d let me help you. - he rolled his eyes, stepping in front of her and the stretcher.
    - I can help myself, Doctor.
    - Oh, is Doctor now? - he replied rather sarcastically, pulling opening the glove compartment in his office. - Are you allergic to latex or any ingredient in regular plastic gloves I should know about?
    - Shouldn’t you know if I am allergic to latex? - she cocked her side to the side much to his displeasure. - No, no latex allergies. 
    - Okay ... - he put some bright blue gloves on before walking back to her. - First, I’m just going to palpate around the top of your scalp to check for any trauma or signs of injury. 
    - My ankle is hurting, not my head.
    - You hit your head, it’s standard procedure. - her shoulders slumped as he proceeded to palpate around her head. It felt ridiculous, she was fine, she did not need an examination of her head. - Looks good, no bumps, so the fall probably wasn’t harsh on your head.
    - I could have told you that. Do they not teach you to hear to your patients in med school?
    - How would you know? You didn’t go to med school. 
    - I’m starting to think you didn’t either. 
    - Okay. - he rolled his eyes once more at her snide remark. - The next thing I am going to do is have a look inside your ears to see if there’s any bleeding, just to make sure we’re covering all our bases.
    - Why are you telling me? You’re the doctor. - Sebastian ignored her, taking his otoscope out of the pocket of his coat and placing a rubber disposable tip on the end before putting it up to her ear and switching to the other one. 
   - Everything looks good in both ears, no signs of bleeding. Your tympanic membranes look clear and I didn’t see any fluids or blood behind them. No defects and if it interests you to know there’s also no excess wax build up. Can you just tell me if it was painful or sore when I looked into your ear?
   - Shouldn’t you have asked that while you were looking into my ear?
   - Y/N if you don’t start taking this seriously, I ...
   - You will what?
   - Do you seriously want me to call a nurse on you? I normally only have to do that with children and elderly patients.
    - You wouldn’t. - she squinted, hands gripping the material of the stretcher.
    -  Try me. - he crossed his arms. - I’ll ask again. Was it painful or sore when I looked into your ear?
    - Yes.
    - What?
    - No. - she held in a laugh, bitting the inside of her lip. 
    - Y/N ...
    - Glad to know you have not forgotten your patient’s name, doctor. Doing great.    
    - Okay, Y/N. I need you to be serious with me now and answer truthfully or I’ll order a CT scan for you.
    - I hate CT scans.
    - I know. - he smirked. - So, what’s it gonna be?
    - Would you seriously make the hospital cover an expensive CT scan to check for a concussion that I don’t have just to upset me?
   - Oh, no, sweetheart. If you continue to be a brat, I will order a full body CT scan and if they ask I’ll just say I’m covering all my bases. So, what’s it gonna be? You’re gonna play nice or do you prefer to get an exam done?
    - Call me sweetheart again and you’ll get a concussion. How about that? 
    - You can do whatever you want to do to me after we’re done but until then you will answer the questions I have truthfully. Deal?
    - What other option do I have? - she crossed her arms at him. Y/N knew she was being unnecessarily difficult with him but she also knew that there was a 0.1% chance she had a concussion. Nevertheless, he looked dead serious on ordering a CT scan for her and the last thing she wanted was to have a claustrophobic attack because she refused to answer a few questions. - Fine.
   - Good. So, what time did this happen?
   - I don’t know, I don’t exactly look at my watch after falling down the stairs. 
   - Y/N ...
   - Like ... 20 minutes ago. 
   - What did you feel when you fell?
   - My head was pounding, my ankle felt hottish and I felt a bit nauseous.
    - Do you feel nauseous when you feel pain or is that something new for you?
    - No, it happens when I get hurt. 
    - Any dizziness or blurred vision? Metallic taste in the mouth, almost blood like?
    - I don’t think so.  
    - Any tingling or weird sensations around your face and neck?  
    - No. 
    - Okay, so ... I’m gonna have a look in your eyes. - he took his light from the same pocket he had taken the otoscope from. - I need you to look at me and not at the light. Don’t focus on it, okay?
She nodded, deciding it would be best if she went along with it before she was stuck in his office for a whole hour. He turned the light on and she did as was required of her by staring at him. She thought she could make him feel uncomfortable but it ended up being her who felt uncomfortable as flashes from last night picked that exact moment to return to her brain. Y/N told herself to cut it off and tried to continue to stare at him but gave up after a few minutes of her now sober brain deciding to show her exactly what she had been doing last night. She turned her head to the side, closing her eyes forcefully.
   - Are you okay, Y/N? - he put a hand on her shoulder but she shook him away, turning her face back to a neutral position. - Too bright.
   - Well ... uhm, yeah it is shining directly in my eyes.
   - Okay. I don’t need to look more into them, they look fine. Nothing to worry about. I just need you to open your mouth now?
   - What? No.
   - Why not? 
   - Because ... - because my brain has decided that sounds much less innocent than it actually sounds. - Because I don’t want to.
   - Y/N, c’mon. I just need you to open your mouth and then check your ankle and you can be out of here just like you want to.
   - I don’t want you looking into my mouth. 
   - I have seen you naked and that’s what you’re worried about? Me looking into your mouth? 
   - You are not a dentist, you don’t need to be looking into my mouth.
   - Your answer was unclear so yeah, I need to. Open your mouth. 
   - Stop asking me that. Can you pose the question in a different manner?
   - God, I swear if you’re doing this on purpose. 
   - I am not. 
   - Fine. Say ah, then. 
   - That just sounds worse. - she felt her cheeks heat up. 
Sebastian rolled his eyes, pulling the chair from behind his desk. This surely was going to take longer than expected. He knew she’d be defensive but he didn’t know she would be so difficult. In all honesty, he didn’t even know why she was mad at him. The only thing he could remember was being hit by her files before she stormed off. Yet again, Y/N was almost always annoying with him so it wasn’t a new occurrence. The new occurrence was a patient asking him to reformulate the question. 
   - Y/N what are you ... oh. - it finally dawned on him. - That’s not work appropriated, Y/N.
   - I swear if you keep on talking I will throw you off your own window.
   - So dirty. - he took one of the wooden spatulas from the stand on his desk. 
   - Fuck off.
   - Come on. - she reluctantly opened her mouth and had it not been for the wooden spatula holding her tongue and jaw down, she would’ve probably closed it as fast as she had opened it. - Looks good. I just need to repeat some numbers back at me, okay? 55, 10, 40, 9, 1.
    - 55, 10, 40, 9, 1. 
    - Good. I don’t think you have any concussion. I just need to check your ankle now. Can you put your foot on my lap and please not kick me?
     - I’m tempted to. -  she rose her ankle and placed it on his lap. He proceeded to take of her shoe and sock before starting to palpate around her ankle which was visibly swollen. 
    - I’m gonna turn your foot to the left and to the right. If anything hurts, let me know, okay? - she nodded as he turned her foot carefully to the lift and to the right, but it didn’t hurt, it was just sore. - No pain?
    - No.
    - Good news, I don’t think it’s broken, just strained. Some ibuprofen for inflammation and some ice and in a few hours you can at least limp without pain. 
    - I don’t have some hours. Unlike you, I have work to get done.
    - So do I, Y/N. You think I enjoyed having you take longer than 30 minutes in what should’ve been a 15/20 minute exam? 
    - Oh, I’m sorry. - she interrupted him. - Did my injury overstep on your gossiping about sleeping with me? I’m so sorry, I’m sure the whole hospital will still be waiting for you anyway.
    - What?
    - Can you please give me a minute so I can limp out of here in anger?
    - You think I’m telling the hospital staff I slept with you?
    - Well, the whole hospital knows and I didn’t tell them so unless we had a threesome I have recollection about then there’s only two of us who knew and if I didn’t tell them, guess who did? And before you can answer it’s you, the answer is you. 
    - I didn’t tell anyone, Y/N. I have better things to do than discuss my sex life with the whole hospital. 
   - That’s just dandy. - she jumped of the stretcher, ignoring the pain which started in her ankle and climbed up her leg but she didn’t mind. Now she was upset, one thing was him telling everyone and the other one was denying he had done as such. - You know what Sebastian? I get it, you slept with the lab girl who annoys you and you wanna tell everyone about it. Fine, but at least admit it. 
   - Y/N, I didn’t tell anyone.
   - Fine, say whatever makes you feel better.

crybaby (therapist!overhaul x f!reader)
Tumblr media
summary: She nodded, too ashamed and drunk on her own high to function. 
Unsatisfied by her response, Chisaki grabbed her face. Her rosy cheeks squished in his grip. Chisaki realized she was cute like this. A little puffy fish. 
“You’re being such an annoying pig. My patience is growing thin. Tell me. Tell me you want my cock.” His sentence stumbled from him, in between heavy breaths. 
The woman buried her face in his chest, “Please fuck me, Kai. I need it -- please, please, please.”  warnings: boot worship, dubcon, light scalpel play, male masturbation, light medical play, praise, smut, overstimulation, yandere elements word count: 4,162 lil note: this was written as part of the bnha degeneracy 9 to 5 collab! also we like the banner?? i’m thinking of bein fancy with my posts now 👉👈 masterlist | tipjar | twitter | commission info | ask box is open (for requests)
"His eyes were lifeless. No light entered, no light left. I guess," the woman pauses and pushes out a gravely sigh, "no… refraction." Chisaki Kai notes she says the word with grief; as if it were painful. He scribbles a note: overemotional. Golden eyes examined the woman. Scanning and memorizing the imperfections in her armor. The woman that sat comfortably. It was like her little sad frame didn't bother her. Her body shook and a whimper escaped. 
'Fascinating,' he thought. She was a pathetic creature. Sobbing once a week into his fine leather. The woman was an ugly crier. Her face would swell; puffy and pink. Eyes glossy and red. Sometimes, Chisaki's pants would constrict from the display. Misery in it's finest form. A show just for him. 
Chisaki would be lying if he didn't think this blubbering woman would look better wrapped around his cock. Her squishy face smashed against his groin. Eyes watery and looking up, words of praise muffled. Latex gloves gripping her hair as he degrades her. 'A pathetic little crybaby.'
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
The first time she had cried, Chisaki sent her packing. His stern voice demanding she "fix her attitude" before returning. Yet, the very next week this weepy woman crumbles. Her voice was a howl. Low and haunting. She'd shake. Her tiny body unable to contain grief. It was disgusting. This was time for help, not fits. The second time, Chisaki only found it unsightly. 
But the third time? The third time she was able to speak, and her voice trembled. Words so sad and awful. She was lesser than him. She was pathetic. 
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Eventually, Chisaki memorized her trauma; low self esteem and a lack of power from an event involving a roommate. Some days he learned more than others. Sometimes the woman would simply come to cry. No words, simply the sound of her wails. They bounced off the room like rubber. Her sobbing stuck in his ears like honey. Thick. Syrupy. Sweet. 
Nothing seemed to improve during their sessions. It was always one fit after another. No change. No spiral. This crybaby was the only constant for Chisaki. His patients came and went, conditions manageable. But this little crybaby of a woman was expected every Friday at 4. Punctuality was her only redeeming quality. There was something pleasant in appreciating Chisaki's time. 'Considerate' was the word. 
She stopped crying as the clock struck 6. 'Like clockwork.' Truthfully, Chisaki believed the woman allowed herself this insecurity. The two hours with him were cathartic. He circles the word in his notes. His canary eyes were glued to her file now. The woman's face was bland and uninteresting. 'You look so plain like this.' A scowl returned to Chisaki's lips. 
"Thank you, Dr. Chisaki," the woman beamed. She often pretended as if she hadn't wept. As if Chisaki were paying her a kindness. It enraged him; she was scum. Her position was beneath him. Her eyes wouldn't leave him. Glossy and wrinkled in a grin. 
'Sickening.' 
Chisaki suppressed a shiver, "I appreciate our talks," his lips twist into a smile, "Drive home safely." He always emphasized the talking. Her trembling lips and heavy voice were erotic in a way. Chisaki wondered what her tears tasted like. He envisioned himself atop her; fingers exploring her pussy, tongue lapping at her tears. 
He watched the woman leave. Golden orbs trained on her back. She took her time leaving; punishment for watching her cry. Chisaki’s cheeks grew hot. It was nauseating to think of bending her over the fine leather. Chisaki was convinced she’d be obedient, her ass waiting in the air. 
‘You’d be a soaking little crybaby, wouldn’t you?’
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
His evening began with ritual. Chisaki slipped off his slacks, opting to keep his sweater on. He felt less dirty that way. His cock sprung from his boxer briefs. Heavy and veiny. Chisaki rubbed the tip before spitting on it. He rubbed the spit in, thinking of her. Drooling and sobbing on his cock. Chisaki wanted to rob her of oxygen, ‘Her face must be so cute when she chokes.’ The thought hit Chisaki as he stroked his length. He grunted, palm pumping his cock. His other hand cradled his balls, softly kneading. Orgasms felt so dirty. Unnatural. Viscous cum shot into the pillowy deepness of a tissue. 
He looked at it and groaned. Tossing the tissue away, Chisaki started preparation. 
The hum of a computer filled his bedroom. It was ancient, but Chisaki wasn’t picky. Besides, the rudimentary technology only served one purpose. This was Chisaki’s gateway into ‘hysteria and the female orgasm.’ A million and five hundred thousand results. Everything at his fingertips. He observed her enough -- watched her enough to realize what she needed. She needed his latex clad fingers. His cock buried in her seeping core. He’d stretch her, ruin her body for anyone but him. Her cunt was made for him. 
Chisaki sat in his underwear. Face focused on an order page. Recently, Chisaki found himself hyper focusing on this fantasy; his little crybaby overstimulated and mewling, begging Chisaki for relief. She’d pray for his cock. He was her only release. 
The plan was simple. Allow her to breakdown as usual until he could no longer handle it. Then, he’d offer the woman a glass of water. Claiming that she must be ‘so dehydrated.’ If she refused, Chisaki planned to persist. ‘It’s for my peace of mind, too.’ He could strike her vulunability. Show her someone cared. She was naive and too stupid, so clearly she would lap up his kindness. Insist on drinking every last drop, letting the ‘medication’ take full effect. This necessity was for his sake. Chisaki didn’t want his crybaby too loud. 
His mind drifted to her wiggling beneath him, his boot pressed against her cheek. Perhaps he would force her to lick it, if only to remind her of her place. 
“Beneath me,” he murmurs as a hand sneaks under his waistline. 
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
His kit sits comfortably, tucked behind a bookshelf. Chisaki recognized he needed items. Physical means to make his vision into reality. He anticipated she would come into his embrace quietly… but a part of him hoped she’d fight him. Permit him to make an example of her. Chisaki’s chest tightened. The clock ticked slowly, as if chastising Chisaki for his plans. However, he knew she needed this -- needed him. 
In his kit sat latex gloves, rope, a scalpel, and an expensive vibrator. The personal massager took some convincing to buy; he hated the idea of a market for these… toys… but it was essential. Her face had to be flushed and sweaty. It was important she knew how inferior she was. Chisaki was doing her an injustice by letting the woman merely exist without him. 
A soft beep echoed; the beginning of his plan. Chisaki sat with his legs crossed. Leisurely. Slender fingers atop his notes. The little pile before him was a fraction of his observations. His little crybaby was interesting, to say the least. She was his favorite client. Chisaki was almost embarrassed by the sheer volume of material he kept. His closet was home to clothes and boxes; all filled with parchment. Their margins were adorned in highlight and sticky notes. Chisaki was nothing if not dedicated. 
Quiet foot falls marked her arrival. The woman would always stand outside until Chisaki welcomed her in. Even asking permission for her therapist appointment. There was something admirable about it -- something Chisaki had to break. 
“Come in,” Chisaki called. His voice carried an airy professionalism. Yellow eyes briefly looked up, but quickly returned to the floor. Chisaki held his lust by memorizing the carpet. 
She shuffled in, gently shutting the door behind her. Despite the miserable crybaby mannerisms, the woman was quite polite. ‘Very well trained for a mutt,’ Chisaki mused. Silence was heavy between them; this weeping woman was never consistent with greetings. Somedays, she wouldn’t choke out a ‘hello’ until deep within her misery. Her words obviously muted by her hands. She liked to cradle her face, Chisaki believed it was to stimulate intimacy. Something she was clearly lacking. 
Settling into a chair, she managed a meek ‘hello’ before salty tears brimmed her eyes. Chisaki snuck a glance; she looked in pain. Her bottom lip stuck between teeth. The woman nibbled at the flesh. Anything to alleviate her sadness. The sharp pain was a perfect anchor.
‘I won’t cry. I won’t cry in front of him today.’ She was going to will herself to hold back tears and actually talk. It was kind enough of Dr. Chisaki to let her openly bawl. In all honesty, the woman hated herself for it. At this point, she was only paying him to watch. The poor man was probably too shy -- too professional to ask her to quit. She was abusing his altruism. The woman bit back a shiver, puffing out her chest. Swallowing sadness. 
Chisaki looked up. Silence between them this early was… "Are you okay?" Her name comes out like a melody. Something he wants to say forever. Chisaki gripped his clipboard. He needed to ground himself. Find haven in reality. 
She stares back, "I come here bec--"
"Don't say it," he murmured. Hand resting comfortably on her thigh. There was an obvious barrier; her leggings. Plush. Almost like her pillowy thighs. Chisaki groped at the plump flesh; "You're so soft." His fingers wander to pinch, "It's disgusting."
The woman remained quiet. Debating with his hand creeping toward her thigh felt dangerous. Dr. Chisaki made her feel dirty; lewd, maybe? She wasn’t sure. The heat in her core was becoming overwhelming. Her mouth moved to speak, but nothing fell out. Empty.
“Silent now, are we? What happened to your big speech? Tell me about how you’re feeling… right now.” His words were a command. No trace of a request. Chisaki needed to hear her quake; wiggle against his clothed bulge. 
Saliva pooled in her mouth. Anxiety, anxiety, anxiety. 
“I want to go home,” She blubbered, voice strained and whining. Her vision was blurry at best. Everything was splotchy. Dr. Chisaki was an imposing shape of purple and black. She knew he wore a tie; simple deep purple. Shirt. His shirt is black. It takes her a moment to compose thoughts. His hand and her only time to weep were overstimulating.
Chisaki continued his assault, fingers violently rubbing at her covered slit. He wanted to see a tear before the gloves. Before her examination. His cock pulsated at the thought. Latex in her mouth, stuffing her with the cure his cock. A shock -- an orgasm (even this word was perverse to Chisaki) would dislodge any feverishness. Dissipation. Her cries for him. 
“You’re crying,” Chisaki commented; hand slow against her crotch, “Little crybaby.” 
The woman muffled a sob and instead bit her lip. Blood bloomed in the corner of her smile. The doctor was a curse. This was illegal. He shouldn’t be touching her like this. 
He sighed.
“Nothing just as I suspected.” 
“This... “ A heave interjects, “This is my time. I can’t express myself like this.” She motions to her tears. Honestly, the woman was high-strung. Revealing herself -- taking off a mask -- was cathartic. Liberation in its purest form. 
He pursed his lips and harshly removed his hand. The auburn haired man stood up; crossing the room to a benign black bag. Chisaki rooted around for his gloves. Latex, white, a barrier between them. Chisaki wanted to touch her briefly -- skin to skin was important. Necessary. Something unavoidable. 
A snap resounded through the room. Loud. Interrupting. Chisaki wanted to be heard. He wanted her to gawk; eyes glued to him. 
Her face erupted into confusion. Fear nestled into her veins. Too cold, too much. "What is..?" The woman's voice is quiet and still muffled from tears. 
'This is the cutest you've looked, isn't it?' Chisaki thought of pinching her cheeks, examining the damage. His pants constricted. It was a kindness to teach this wrenched woman her place. 
"Keep talking. This is a part of your therapy," Chisaki stated plainly. He rummaged in the bag further, producing something thin and shiny; metallic caught in the fluorescence. Uncomfortable by the sight, the woman shifted her gaze to his feet. His choice of footwear was odd. Polished, tar black boots. His footfalls were anything but quiet. Roaring. Really, she found it intimidating. 
“Please…” She didn’t know why she begged like this. Dr. Chisaki wasn’t supposed to be this cruel. He was a therapist -- her therapist. He seemed so balanced before. Normal. And yet the man before her stood with molten eyes and a scalpel. 
Slowly, the auburn haired man strode toward her. As if he were a lion savoring his meal. Inspection for prime dread. “Don’t be stupid and move. It’d be a shame if I,” Chisaki paues to taste the words, “hurt you.” Like any greedy man, Chiaski expected resistance. 
But like a good little doe, she stares into the scalpel. ‘So moronic shiny things distract you.’ In a way, he found it enduring. She was so pathetic, so useless without his sympathetic ear. Functioning without him must be a chore; he was her sanctuary. 
He stops in front of her, boot tapping against wood. “I think it’s beneficial you learn your place, don’t you? Society must be so pressuring for you. As your licensed healthcare professional, it’s my business.”
The woman gathered remaining courage. 
“I’ll call the police.” Before her threat was tangible, Chisaki grabbed her wrists. They fit perfectly in one gloved hand. 
“Stop being such a little crybaby bitch.” Cool metal touches her cheek. A warning from Dr. Chisaki. 
A shiver overtook her spine. The scalpel was new, shiny, and sharp. He could slice into her face right now, nothing was truly stopping him. Anxiety bubbled in her mind. This man was dangerous. Maybe, maybe monstrous. He listened to her, let her reveal such an intimate part, only to turn on her trust. Betrayal in the worst form. 
The woman doesn’t respond.
“Get on all fours,” Chisaki commanded. He punctuated his sentence with a shove. “You’re such a pig bitch, you know that right? It’s sad you think anyone would listen to you sob.”
Her eyes grew into shock. With trembling hands, the woman gets on her knees. Her palms were flat atop spotless wood. Dr. Chisaki was quirky like that. If anything, she admired him for it. He seemed so disciplined. ‘All lies,’ she thinks, melancholy stuck in her eyes. Her heart practically ached. Ached for herself, ached for him.
His lips curled into a smirk. Eyes genuinely wrinkled. Finally, this succubus learned. A jolt of excitement shot through his cock; the member twitching. 
“Kiss my boots.”
She blinked at his demand. Her mind had to catch up. She needed to absorb the sentence. Should she resist, kick him, and take off? Could she? Her mind swirled with violent images. Large hands wrapped around her throat. His naked body sweaty against hers. 
The woman decided to comply. Chisaki watched in anticipation as her lips made contact with glossy leather. Staying up to wax them was worth it for this. Every fantasy was drab compared to her. She was meek; placing light kisses. Her lips ghosted and left little spit puddles in her wake. Chisaki felt a certain hotness in his stomach. The act was so disgusting, and yet, Chisaki was grinding his bulge into his palm. 
Suddenly, the woman stopped and looked up at her confidant. “Can I -- please -- can I leave now?” 
Chisaki frowns. She doesn’t sound broken enough. ‘Fixed enough,’ he corrects. ‘She needs to be fixed. Cured.’
“Did I say you could stop?” The auburn man sneered. He stomped his boot, his patient mask falling. “Keep kissing them. Slobber on them, little pig. Show me how worthless you are.”
Her tongue whirled around, saliva dotting his boots. She sounded flustered. Huffs and soft squirming. “How are you feeling? You seem to be enjoying it.” 
Without meeting his predatory gaze, she whimpered in between sloppy kisses, “I -- I love this so much, Dr. Chisaki.” Such an obedient crybaby. 
“We know each other enough for Kai, you know that.” 
Eager yellow eyes watched. Excitement lit up inside his veins. Hot and unable to reject. 
Being complacent was her only means of survival now. She stopped, doe eyes boring into him.
Drool trailed from her lips, joined with his boot. “Kai, can I?” Her warm hand removed his and rubbed his crotch. Delicate fingers feeling his length, massaging girth and veins. A vibrating, rough groan escaped Chisaki. Something deep. Something feral. It was a sound the woman couldn’t fathom. 
And yet, she felt a tingle between her thighs. 
Chisaki stroked her face. Squishy and tear-stained; she should be embarrassed. How humiliating must it be to grovel and sob? It was pitiful in a way. Broken. Pathetic. “Let me see how much you want my cock, like the filthy pig you are. So greedy.”
In response to his harsh words, the woman graciously unbuckled his sleek belt, and quickly unbuttoned his slacks. His cock was constrained underneath boxer-briefs. The cut showed off his calves, toned and lean. Being this close to Chisaki reminded her how big he was -- he towered over her. 
She fumbled with the hem of his underwear. Unsure if he wanted her hand or her mouth. 
Noticing her confusion, Chisaki brought a gloved finger to her lips, “Suck.” 
The woman shook while she tugged down Chisaki’s boxer-briefs. His cock -- slick with pre-cum -- sprung from their cloth prison. She winced at his size; he would spear her. Shoving away lewd images, she gently stroked him. An experimental touch before she took him into her mouth. His cock was heavy in her mouth. The girth of Chisaki made her cheeks puff. Gently, she tried to work his cock to the back of her throat. His bulbous tip made her gag, a sensation that had Chisaki instinctively forcing his cock down her esophagus. Her walls contracted around him. In a panic, the woman tried to shove him away. The action was futile, which left her with one option: digging her nails into him. Piercing his thighs to get him to stop. 
“Don’t be so rough, piglette.” Chisaki tugged at her hair until she winced, an audible squeal was muffled by his violent thrusting. Spit dribbled down her chin, landing on her chest. Her face was awash with crimson, discomfort in her features. Chisaki took her in like fine wine. Delicious and sweet. 
Her wet tongue tangled with his cock, exploring every inch of him. Hot breath pistoned from her nose. Her nails were still pricking him. Pain mixed with pleasure, until the hot bundle within his stomach felt as if it might explode. Salty pre-cum flooded her mouth; the taste resulting in a sour face. Chisaki knew he’d cum if she didn’t stop. 
Chisaki pushed the woman away. Surprised and caught off guard, she lost balance, slamming her palms on the floor. 
Chisaki stepped out of his clothes and crouched down. The auburn man decided to instead examine her face, and allow his fingers free-range over her delicate body. 
“Stay still,” Chisaki advised, his fingers manipulating the doughy flesh of her breast. She was as soft as he imagined. He could easily bruise her; give her marks that screamed, ‘you belong to Kai Chisaki.’ But he resisted. “Take off your blouse -- slowly -- and tell me how sad and pathetic you truly are.” 
“I’m… I’m so sad all the time. I just have this -- oh god -- I have this deep sadness and it feels suffocating, Kai. It’s pathetic. I’m pathetic.”
Her body stiffened at his request. The words were too harsh. Too rough. She lifted up her shirt and tossed it behind her. She looked away as Chisaki’s monstrous gaze transversed her chest. 
“The bra too, piggie.”
Taking off her bra added another layer of awkwardness. This wasn’t the first time a man saw her like this -- exposed and sweaty… but his hungry eyes sent chills through her. An electricity of unease. 
Cruel hands fondled her breasts. His fingers were faint over her nipples. She leaned into his touch, back arched. Barely audible mewls flew from her lips. Her body betrayed her. It was degrading. She should already be out the door and dialing the police. But no, her body craved him. ‘A compliant little pig.’ Chisaki hands wandered to her hip and played with the edge of her skirt. His motions were playful. This side of him was tolerable. Chisaki was like a school boy; bashful and nervous.
“Now, how are you feeling?” Chisaki asked. His tone was condescending; he wasn’t asking out of benign professionalism, but hateful interest. 
Her mouth opens and then closes. Unable to compose a response, the woman simply places a hand over his. 
Slapping her thigh, Chisaki chides her, “Speak, pig. Use your idotic words and tell sir how you feel.” 
She gulps. 
“I feel sick. This is shameful, s-sir.” The lewd title causes her blush to deepen. Cheeks flush with embarrassment and delight. Chisaki saw his treatment was finally starting to take hold. 
Chisaki snakes a hand under her skirt, massaging her slit once more. Her arousal was still there, clinging wet panties to her cunt. The woman bit her lip trying to stifle groans. The mixture of his fingers on her breast and between her thighs was almost too much. Sweat gathered at her brow as Chisaki slipped a finger into her soaking core. His slender finger pistoned in and out; snapping against her lips. The auburn man had a lack of mercy, his mouth clasped over her neck. Hot mouth sucking at tender flesh. His tongue circled around the abused patch of skin, desperate to savor her. 
The room was an ensemble of depravity; their moans mixed with the squelch of her pussy. She bucked into his digit, her body hurting for the stimulation. Heat built in her stomach, like a balloon filled with fire. The sensation continued to expand until it peaked; a high pitched squeal marking her orgasm. 
There was a popping sound and then, “So excited you cum already, pitiful, and I was hoping you’d squirm more. You want my cock, don’t you?” His finger leaves her cunt. Spongy walls now empty and wanting. 
She nodded, too ashamed and drunk on her own high to function. 
Unsatisfied by her response, Chisaki grabbed her face. Her rosy cheeks squished in his grip. Chisaki realized she was cute like this. A little puffy fish. 
“You’re being such an annoying pig. My patience is growing thin. Tell me. Tell me you want my cock.” His sentence stumbled from him, in between heavy breaths. 
The woman buried her face in his chest, “Please fuck me, Kai. I need it -- please, please, please.” She broke out into a series of pleas mixed with crying. Her body was still numb, still too high to really anticipate more. Overstimulated and teary eyed. 
“On your back,” Chisaki breathed, his face slightly flushed. He maneuvered her bare body and spread her legs around his wiry waist. Her knees hooked at an angle, like a spider.
Chisaki lined himself up with her tender, violated hole. “You’re so fucking insignificant.” His first thrust was hard and without warning. She gasped and placed her palms on his chest. Carnivorous, gold eyes looked down at her, mouth open and panting. His hips snapped against the back of her thigh. The sound was sharp against their perverse moans. A chorus of vulgarity. His girth made her cunt ache, sensitive walls stretched and full. “Do -- do you know how miserable you make me, little crybaby?” Forming sentences was hard. Chisaki’s cock was sucked in by her cunt; stuck in a death grip. ‘Gonna milk me for every bit of cum, aren’t you, piggie?’
Her hands roamed his chest. His relentless pumping was too much. She needed to grab something. To ground herself back into reality and not a cum induced daze. His veins added texture. Something so stimulating the woman found herself atop another peak. Ready to descend. However, Chisaki hadn’t quite reached nirvana. The cool air desensitized him. The heat of her pussy was like a shock. 
“Focus on me.” His raspy voice brought her back into the moment. Squishy body jiggling from the force of Chisaki. Lidded eyes rolled over to gawk at Chisaki. Blissed out. “Honestly, your little crybaby face is cute like this, piggie.” A light slap smacked against her cheek, as if to further compliment her. 
Chisaki’s rutted into her sloppy cunt until the hot brand in his stomach exploded; a deep groan vibrated from his chest as cum squirted into her cunt. He milked each thrust, until his balls lazily slapped against her. Tears streaked her face. Eyes glazed over with ecstasy. He grabbed her face once more. A close up look of the damage, “You did so well for a stupid little crybaby.

While You Sleep
One shot based off a Juke headcanon I had about protective Luke. This is for this momentous March 4th JATP trending day. Here’s to clowning with you!
___________
She noticed him there one night. An almost indistinguishable blob huddled out her window, dark clothes blending in with the shingles, the trees- the night.
It was too late for either of them to be up.
Yes, Julie was aware that ghosts had no need to sleep. No bodies meant no circadian rhythm.
But he wasn’t supposed to be there.
Rubbing her eyes and groping her desk for her glasses, Julie tiptoed across the room, mindful not to make too much noise. It was past midnight after all.
She cracked open her window, the slight breeze playing with her hair as she stuck her head out.
“Luke?” she called, startling the ghost.
“Julie!” He all but yelped. Normally cool and confident, Luke Patterson scrambled, limbs moving wildly, “Uh, hey. What are you- What are you doing up?” he coughed then shot her a smile.
Would have been that perfect smile Julie had raved about to Flynn if it hadn’t come off as hesitant, as a ruse. It didn’t push against his cheeks like they were supposed to. If he hadn’t been a ghost, she would have chalked it up to fatigue.  
She nodded her head at the door, “I had to go to the bathroom.”
A yawn snuck out her mouth. Luke’s eyes softened at the sound.
“You should go back to sleep,”
Julie looked him over again, noting his attire. A beanie, his torn up jeans, and… that flannel. The brown one.
She shimmied out and carefully sat next to him on the roof, knees pulled up like his was, “Luke, is something wrong?”
“No. Just get back inside,” he urged, shooing her away. And when she didn’t budge, his tone grew a tad bit more authoritative, “Julie, I mean it. Go to bed.”
“I’ll go when you tell me why you’re out here,” She may be tired, but two could play this stubborn game. And as if she was going to bed without figuring out what’s bothering Luke.
His shoulders rose and sunk, “To think. For some privacy,”
It came out as more of a question, as if he wasn’t entirely committed to that story. At Julie’s judgemental silence, he continued spinning.
“Not sure if you know this, but Alex and Reggie?” he leaned in, hands cupping his mouth, “They can be a bit much.” he stage-whispered teasingly.
She raised an eyebrow, “Alex and Reggie?”
“They’re, like, so,so loud. Real annoying. Very hyper,” he said, “Like I tell them ‘Boys, keep it down’, ya know?”
“Uh-huh,”
She wondered if he legitimately thought this was working on her. And Julie thought she was terrible when put on the spot.
“You have the power to poof literally anywhere and everywhere, yet you choose my roof?”
Seriously, out of all the places to get privacy, Luke thought being a couple feet away from her window was enough seclusion.
Again, he shrugged, emoting a  ‘don’t know what to tell ya’, which only irritated Julie even more.
She scooted over, getting into his space, but the ghost wasn’t allowing it, bringing up his arms to keep her at bay, and maybe to move her in the direction of the window.
“Luke, enough with the games just tell me what’s going on-” she reached for him and ended up grazing his ever-jerking shoulder. Her hand landed on something behind him.
It wasn’t a shingle or a leaf. Whatever it was, her finding it made Luke’s eyes widen and had him stuttering out pleas to leave it alone.
With cat-like reflexes she wasn’t aware she had at this hour, Julie grabbed it before he could swipe it away.
Under the moonlight, she inspected the item in her hands, confused.
“Salt?” It was the same can of salt that Carlos had tried to use on the boys, supposedly trying to ‘burn their souls out’, “Why do you have this?”
Luke chuckled nervously, “Oh that? Well that’s just… that’s because...” he faltered, “Because…”
He sighed dejectedly.
“Uh, you mind waiting a couple minutes? While I come up with an excuse?” he tried, his usual charm doing nothing for Julie at the moment.
She stared at him, hard and unwavering. “I don’t like it when you lie to me, Luke.”
The ghost deflated. His features tightened, almost pained.
“I never want- argh-” he growled, pounding at the surface before cradling his head, frustrated, “Look, I never wanted to lie to you.”
“Then why do you do it?” her voice warbled as she pressed. He still did this? After all they had been through together? It hurt her to think about, somewhat insulting.
But of course there must be a reason. A good one because whatever he was hiding, it was clearly weighing heavy on him. Much like when he had visited his parents. And when he was suffering from the stamps…
“Something happened,” she surmised.
Luke didn’t want to admit it, she sensed that. But she could sense his resolve breaking, the more she looked at him, looked into his stormy hazel eyes.
Julie inched near him and the moment her hand came up to rest on his shoulder, his whole body shuddered, his breathing becoming less controlled- God, he was falling apart, as if he had spent so long bottled up, the pressure only escaping out now.
He kept shaking his head, refusing to let it happen, but Julie’s hand moved to his other shoulder, pulling herself towards him, her left side locking into his right. He practically melted, and with unplanned synchronicity, their heads rested against each others’.
They sat there, the quietest they had ever been with each other, but the moment screaming something that Julie had yet to decipher.
She thought she could speak ‘Luke’ by now. No two people could engage in something as personal as songwriting without picking up a thing or two on how the other person thinks, feels...
A sort of jitteriness existed in him and all Julie knew was that she just needed to quell it, to calm him down. Her fingers traced patterns into his shoulder, dancing en pointe to the rhythm of her breathing, and soon Luke’s. Slow and steady.  
“The night of the Orpheum,” he finally said, “after you left. We were gonna meet you there, I swear we were. But then…”
“Caleb?” she dared to speak his name out loud.
With the way Luke’s form tensed under her arm, she regretted it.  
He swallowed hard, withdrawing his head from its comfortable position against hers so he could look at her properly.
“He was here, Julie,” he gritted out.
Her stomach dropped.
Caleb had been here. At her house.
Logically, it was to be expected. He was a ghost, like the boys, able to go anywhere and everywhere. It made sense to come here to get them.
But the fact that he could…The fact that he had...
This man, who could so easily inflict pain, who had no qualms in threatening non-existence to three teenage boys, all because they wouldn’t do what he wanted, had been in her home.
The thought rattled her, and she was almost close to losing her regular breathing pattern. Sensing this, Luke’s hand shot out and coated hers, quick to soothe with guilty fingers.
None of them ever told her this. Of how they ended up at the club before the Orpheum. They must have wanted to shield her from the distress, taking it upon themselves the burden of worrying. Worrying when he would come back. If he ever came back.
“Look, Caleb’s this all powerful ghost. The things he’s capable of,” he shut his eyes, breathing deeply, “I don’t like knowing that he knows where you-”
He couldn’t bring himself to finish, voice cracking. Instead,  his hand reached for the can of salt, stealing it back.
Julie noticed it. In the way he held the can, that he didn’t need to open his eyes to grab it; it was instinct. If his palm had been large enough, he could encapsulate the whole thing. He couldn’t be gripping it any tighter.
“But Luke…” she tried to remind him gently.
“I know this doesn’t do anything. Doesn’t burn souls or whatever,” he slammed it down on the roof, “But it’s better than nothing.”
Julie bit her lip, not wanting to ask, dreading the answer.
“Have you been up here? Every night since?”
Luke hesitated.
Oh.
“I don’t spy on you or anything. I’m not a creep or-” he tried, “I just wanna make sure. Make sure you’re alright.”
Julie was at a loss for words.
She didn’t know what to feel. The gesture would have warmed her heart if the visual that presented itself wasn’t so utterly devastating.
The Orpheum performance had been months ago.
That meant many nights of Luke keeping vigil on her roof, outside her room, clutching onto that can of salt like a lifeline, always on edge. Never sleeping, just… sitting there in silence. Anticipating for some attack.
That could drive any person mad.
He didn’t tell the boys either. She knew that. Otherwise they would be up here with him, all armed with their own cans of salt.
Luke bore the burden of worrying.
And he did it alone.
Julie cursed herself for not picking up on it sooner, but there was never any residue of the anxious nights. The electric smile at its full wattage always greeted her when she woke up and visited the studio first thing before leaving for school.
But she should have noticed. Noticed in the way Luke’s gaze seemed to linger on her for a beat too long when he thought she wasn’t looking. In the way he embraced her, squeezing her tight, reluctant to let her go even so she could go to school.
She had always thought it was him relishing in the ability to touch her, never taking it for granted after months of never thinking such a thing was possible.
Finding out why- it hurt. It hurt knowing how much Luke was hurting and he didn’t let it slip once.
All to protect her.
“You don’t have to keep watch, Luke...” she didn’t want to put him through that anymore. Her peace of mind should never be at the expense of Luke’s. She refused.
He shook his head, “No, I do. Because if anything happened to you, I wouldn’t- I couldn’t-”
“Hey. I should be the one who’s worried. You guys almost…” she stopped, not wanting to dwell...
“Look. you’re who he wants. Not me. I should be the one to be,” she eyed the can of salt “to be standing guard outside the studio, protecting you.”
“We’d never want for you to put yourself in danger. Not for us. No way,”
“Well that’s tough because there’s no way I’m gonna let him take you away from me again,” she cried, desperate.
That gave Luke pause and she realized her mistake.
She had meant to say ‘you guys’.
But also at the same time, she didn’t.  
The moment of vulnerability made her want to run and hide, but it was already too late. The damage was done. Luke blinked at her, stunned and sad.
His hand on top of hers shifted, curling around until he was holding it, thumb grazing her knuckles,  “I’m not going anywhere, Julie,” he promised, “We’re not.” he corrected for her.
“Well, neither am I,”
It should feel like a lie. What both of them said.
Nothing about their situation was fixed. A promise from a ghost to Lifer and vice versa shouldn’t mean anything. Not when he could leave, cross over to the great light at any time. Not when she could grow old and leave him behind along with the memories of her teen years.
Their interesting little relationship was already doomed. No Caleb required.
But she meant it. And that felt like enough.
Luke meant it. And it was.  
She wished she could enjoy this.
Another agonizing silence flowed between them, and soon Luke’s hand left, the echo of his touch chilled by the night. She pocketed both of her hands in her sweatpants.
“How did you break free?” she asked, “You were at the club, right? How were you able to get out?”
Luke smiled, “You called. And we came. Duh.”
She sang. Somehow her singing had summoned them, had brought her boys back to her. It had always been that way sorta. There was this feeling she had ever since she played their demo, that there was something tethering them together.
They always knew where to find her. And when.
At first, it annoyed her. Like, who wanted three new responsibilities?
But now it gave her comfort.
She needed to voice this to Luke.
“You can’t be sitting here every night. It doesn’t help anyone for you to be on edge all the time,”
He opened his mouth to interject, but she kept going.
“I know. I know you can’t just turn off all your worrying. It’s scary not knowing what’s gonna happen,” She sneaked one last squeeze to his hand, “But If anything does happen, you’ll know. And you’ll be here” she snapped her fingers, “just like that.”
“But-”
“For me. Please,” she had to say, desperate.
And she watched as any further arguments died on his lips. She was lucky that it took this time.
She brushed away his bangs before cupping his face. His eyes fluttered closed at the contact. “I don’t like seeing you like this.”
That seemed to seal the deal.
“Ok. For you,” he nodded. Then he carefully guided her hand off and he cocked his head towards the open window, “You seriously need to sleep though.”  
It was her turn to nod, “I will.”
And with that, they both stood, with Luke guiding her back inside, ensuring she didn’t slip and fall off the roof. Once safe and away from the cold, she hung back, elbows perched on the window sill. Luke did the same from the outside.
“Goodnight, Julie,” he whispered.  
She smiled, a first for tonight.
“Goodnight, Luke,”
The ghost returned it, and it reached his eyes this time. He moved to leave but he froze. Pulling out the can, he opened the spout and began lining the entirety of window sill with a small stream of salt.
“Here,” he remarked upon finishing, “Just in case.”
Julie didn’t have the heart to correct him. Him standing guard may be for her benefit, but the can of salt was definitely for his.
“Thanks,” she said instead, brushing stray particles to fill any gaps in her protective barrier.
She watched him poof away before closing the window and crawling into bed and succumbing to sleep.  
********
Julie hadn’t seen Luke on her roof since.
It had been weeks and there was a definite improvement in the way Luke carried himself from then on out. It was miniscule, of course, but Julie could see it in his eyes that he had been receiving the equivalent of a well-needed slumber.
That didn’t stop him from keeping an eye on her from time to time. Though it never reached ‘stationing on the roof’ status. The boy had found a loophole and she found herself anticipating surprise visits by her locker.
She never did say anything about school.
And everything was fine.
Until it wasn’t.
Julie wasn’t sure why it took so long for the fear that Caleb’s visit had instilled to rear its ugly head.
But it did.
And in the form of nightmares no less.
It was the night of the Oprheum all over again, except when she launched herself at Luke, she merely passed through. No magical hug to save them, she was forced to watch as those jolts, those painful jolts, slowly killed them.
She remembered screaming and crying, the looks on the boys' faces when their light had been snuffed out, when they were nothing more than shimmering particles that faded away into nothing, it was something she never ever wanted to see again.
Her body jerked awake, her body sweating and she was startled to find the screams and cries had followed her- her face damp and her throat coarse. Bringing her knees to her chin, the horror of what she had witnessed was still fresh in her mind, and she was sobbing.
In the midst of all this, she barely registered the tugging feeling, somewhere deep inside her, somewhere she couldn’t really place.
Then suddenly, a telltale sound of a ghost poofing in diminished her cries.
“Julie. Julie!” she heard Luke, frantic. His form, blurred by her tears, moved about the room until he was sitting at the foot of her bed. “A-Are you okay? I felt it, I felt you calling-”
She wiped her face with her sweater sleeve, readjusting to reality, “I’m- I’m fine. It’s just-” she sniffled, “I had a nightmare.”
Once Luke’s face came in view, the nightmare image of his disappearing out of existence overwhelmed her again and some wayward tears flowed against her better judgement.
“Hey,” he moved and was at her side immediately, drawing her to him, “Sh. It’s okay. You’re okay.”
She buried her face into his chest just to make sure. Because forget her. He was okay. Caleb didn’t take him away from her. He was still here.
The tears she was shedding were ones of pure relief.
It had been awful. For a second, she was powerless. She had felt that way when she lost her mom, her sickness taking hold. She couldn’t stop it from taking her mom, and that left her feeling so hollow.
Julie wouldn’t know what to do if it happened again. If it happened to her boys.
She didn’t know how long Luke held her, wiping her cheeks dry with his thumbs and keeping her hair from clinging to her forehead. But somehow during all this, they both had reclined on her bed, the worst of it having passed.
Even when she had stopped crying, his arms still encased her.
“What can I do?” he asked, unsure, “Tell me. What can I do?”
“Just…” her fists curled around his shirt, her breathing steadying and eyes pleading, “Can you stay here? With me?”
He nodded,resolute, “I’m not going anywhere.”
Julie sighed and she was struck with that promise they made weeks ago. And she allowed herself to relax into him.
It should scare her. How much she trusted him. To be there. There weren't any guarantees in life. Not for her. Especially not for him.
But she called.
And he came.
A constant.
And as much as she didn’t want him to worry about her, she knew that she wouldn’t easily be able to not worry about him.  
And encased in arms that would phase through others, and even with the threat of Caleb still hanging over their heads, Julie never felt more safe.
He wasn’t supposed to be here. Not in this house. Not in this time of 2020.
But he was.
And she slept peacefully from then on.

When it all falls down
Hi guys! I was meant to post this earlier but life happens :(
I have so many fic ideas but not enough time to write & post them. The completion of this fic will be my priority tho!
(Edit) previously named ‘Life as a pawn within the Devil’s deal’
Ao3
Story Masterlist
—————————————————
CHAPTER THREE: Buried alive
Warnings: injuries, sexism, pre-panic attack symptoms, torture (not explicit) and mentions of child birth (and death caused from it), forced pregnancy & imprisonment.
The haunting voice of the king cut through the foreboding silence that coated the room. It bounced off of the decrepit stone pillars, and the ceiling crumpled under the reverberation.
Lady Talia dragged her towards the throne, her body screaming to get far away from this man. Marinette was pushed forward, forced to kneel before ‘her King’. His throne was made out of a rusted iron and withered thorns peaked through its cracks. The king, although hidden from the world, was adorned in every finery known to man. A deep emerald green tunic and pants were joined by a solid gold belt. Gemstones lined the clasps of his cape, connected by three gold chains of differing lengths. The crown that graced his salt & pepper coloured hair consisted of polished obsidian jewels embedded into the golden spires.
Mari’s eyebrows furrowed. She was taught that each of the royal family were only garbed in opals & obsidian (as they were the family’s signature gems) plus their birth jewel. But his majesty seemed to be wearing more jewels then she could name, none seemed more important than the rest.
“So this is the one you chose as Damian’s promised?” He glared down at her. The girl kneeling before him had nothing special about her in appearance other than expensive clothing. What enraged him was that she kept her head high, but her eyes never met his, they were locked on the wall behind him. His frown deepened, his wrinkled skin pulled and folded; suggesting that a frown was a popular expression he wore. “She doesn’t look like much.” His toxic green eyes shifted to his daughter, “Are you sure you got the correct girl?”
“Yes father I have not failed you. This is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, future head of the Miraculous Order. She is their best warrior and will be an asset to the continuation of our bloodline.”
The Mistress’ nails dug into the girl’s shoulder, the pinpricking pain caused her to grimace. She stifled any thought of correcting the hag. It had been years since she took guardian ship of the Order, or in their terms; that she actually the current head. Some of her friends even had dubbed her as their ‘princess’ and that spread around the camp like a wildfire.
His burning gaze scanned every inch of her face before his eyes traveled down her body. Under his stare she felt violated, his contempt and lechery felt like hands running over her skin. “Her only duty is to produce strong heirs, don’t let her be deluded into becoming a hero.”
He waited for either woman to challenge him, it would be a fruitless venture but some still tried. If only his wife had produced a suitable heir, but Melisande had given him a daughter instead. That wretched woman had died during Talia’s birth, escaping her duty of giving him a son. As he reminisced on her, he was only plagued by the thought of how he could have married someone so weak.
He refused to marry again after her, he didn’t want his legacy to be tainted further. And although his daughter was born from weakness she had redeemed herself by birthing a son. Her spouse, Lord Wayne, wouldn’t have been his first pick, but their affair bore a strong prince. His daughter learnt from her mother’s failures and (under his guidance) had become one of his few trusted associates.
“Well?” He boomed, Marinette flinched away. Another sign of weakness. He raised an eyebrow at her, enticing her to comment. “What do you have to say about all this?”
‘What do I have to say?’ She repeated, this surely was a trap, a test. One wrong word and she would be done for. She wanted to scream that she was a warrior not an incubator, and yell at him for deceiving the world.
But she didn’t. Damian’s words from earlier that morning caused her to metaphorically bleed like an open wound.
Her eyes met his, and she is reminded of Damian’s eyes, a stunning evergreen forest comes to mind. But Ra’s eyes weren’t like Damian’s or even Talia’s, his eyes held so much scorn that made them worse then toxic. His eyes held a nuclear explosion behind them and memories of the suffering that came after.
“If the last empire failed,” She paused, taking a breath to conceal her malice. “Why do you think your’s won’t?”
“Because whilst the previous empire thought they were immortal—“ he leaned forward, his face inches away from hers. ��I know I am.”
‘Is that how he lived? That is to say if he died in the first place.’ Her body subconsciously moved away but Talia held her in place, his breath was hot and suffocating. She sent a silent prayer to Damian that she was sorry, but the only way she could hold her tongue was if she stitched her lips shut.
-x-
A figure stumbled into the young couple’s room, leaning against the now closed door gasping for breath. Their entry was preceded by rushed footsteps and proceeded by the slam of the dark oak door. Damian watched from the smaller room, the expanse of the appartments was coated by darkness. The shadowed individual walked closer to the lit lantern sat atop the bedside table. The flickering incandescent, cast an orange light upon the person, revealing Damian’s first assumption; his bride, Marinette.
A sob escaped her quivering lips, and the prince noticed her gleaming tears creating trails down her pale cheeks. She collapsed on her bed, crying. He internally debated about whether to invade her space when she was in such a vulnerable state or give her the illusion of privacy.
Looking down at his hands, he remembered the grit of dried blood that once collected underneath his nails. His childhood (if you could call it that) was one of bloodshed and pain. The room looked bigger now and his breathing became infrequent. The bassinet by the window was stripped bare and now became a microcosm of the imprisonment and restriction he faced within the palace walls.
Hands clenched tightly into fists, his nails tempting with the idea of breaking the skin of his palms. He desperately grasped an invisible rope, willing it to ground him. Tremors shook Damian’s body as her cries returned to muffled sobs. ‘Grandfather would be disgusted,’ when had he become so weak?
She had cast a spell over him, projected her despair onto him. What was she crying about anyways? Being sad was being feeble, and being feeble lead to disloyalty.
He stood up, the internal debate was over, all the mental diplomats were slaughtered by the strongest; pride. Rubbing his eyes he broke out of her theurgy. He walked to the bedside, picking up a blanket along the way. When he reached her, body still racking whilst she blubbered, he wrapped the large grey blanket around her shoulders.
Marinette flinched on contact. A cloud could touch her and she still would’ve shied away. Her hair was a mess and stuck to her sweat coated skin. Craning her neck she looked up at her offender, only to find her groom.
Damian’s eyes. They were so similar to... His Highness’s eyes were the last this she saw before the pain penetrated her skull. Her throat was rubbed raw from her screaming which had melted into cries. Is she not even safe in the place she was meant to sleep?
“Take this as a warning—“ pain all she felt was pain, her ears rung from the sound of flesh beating flesh. “Next time you’ll know not to question things above your position.”
CRACK
She screamed.
Damian scanned her face, her eyes were puffy and red. But that wasn’t it. Her left lid looked darker than it should and her bottom lip was busted.
“Who did this to you.” He struggled to keep his tone neutral as she stared into his wide eyes. His mothers statement from several years ago flashed into his mind, “Her position is determined by this marriage Damian, and through you, the Order has a secure future. This union gives us more power and provides them with protection.”
Protection. What use was this marriage if it couldn’t supply the one thing her kin wanted for her; safety.
He looked down upon her beaten face, her skin was tender as blackish-blue bruises waged war. All of a sudden it didn’t matter who committed this atrocity, nor did his thirst for revenge. A pit formed deep within his chest, he had a feeling he knew the answer to his own question.
He turned, rushing over to the closet, Marinette’s arm burned at the removal of his hand. She tilted her head, wiping her eyes as she peered over, watching what he was doing. He had grabbed multiple sets of dark clothes before hastily walking into the bathroom, he returned with the empty linen laundry hamper.
He stuff the items into the hamper before turning back to her, the prince looked almost frantic. He marched back up to her, kneeling, he held her hand between his. Locking eyes with her, her jaggedly cut hair falling similar to that of a curtain as she tilted her head down.
“We have to leave.”
“What?” As if it was a reflex she responded before she could process what he said. ‘Leave?’ This was his home, his kingdom. Why would he want to leave. Her head hung as self-deprecating comments caused her to spiral, ‘I have caused him so much trouble that he feels the need to leave, so that he’s legacy isn’t disgraced further.’
“I cannot ask you to do that.” All of the snark and jest was torn from her leaving her as a husk. “Please,” Her hoarse voice cracked. “I do not wish to cause any more havoc.”
“And I cannot allow for anyone to harm you,” he paused, her eyes shimmered underneath the glow of the lantern light. “You are my wife.”
She softly smiled at the acknowledgment of their status, he had never called her anything other than her name. The ‘my wife’ comment didn’t mean much due to the nature of their arrangement but it still meant something, no matter how minuscule.
“We can’t leave, bad things will happen if we do.”
"There is never going to be a perfect answer." He squeezed her hand, an act of reassurance to give her some form of comfort. “Sometimes the choices we must make have cons alongside their pros."

Hiya 👋 I find it fascinating when people point out stuff about main characters that are brushed over and was I was wondering what’s your top reasons you dislike Alina and what scenes made you dislike her / made no sense.
Well I don't dislike Alina in the show but in the books I do think she is badly written. But here are some things that made the book character less appealing to me than the show.
I think the main one is her complete lack of agency. She very rarely makes any decisions for herself and just seems to go along with what everyone else (mostly male characters) say. There is a problem and instead of Alina being the one to make a decision or think of a solution she is told this is what we are going to do by either, M*l, Nikolai or the apparat. She is pushed around the plot by others actions instead of taking control herself and so often appears more as a puppet than as a commander or influential person in herself. For example in the show Alina is the one who tells M*l that they should seek the stag and kill it for it's amplification powers before the darkling does. Yet in the books this decision isn't hers but M*l's and Alina just goes along with it. There are also several instances where she clearly doesn't agree with the course of action or doesn't want to do something and yet she does it anyway, an example of this is when Nikolai and M*l want to attack the Volcra nest in the fold. She clearly has qualms about it but ends up folding to their will, another example is M*l insisting that once the fold and the darkling are destroyed that they seek a way to remove the amplifier, again this is something Alina doesn't want to do but she agrees with M*l and doesn't tell him her true desire. So what we end up with is a female protagonist who very much seems to be a pawn to the male characters in the book.
Another thing I disliked about the character's storyline is that she was often the victim of men, held captive and used to their advantage and this included one the supposed heroes. The darkling takes her captive twice wanting to use the amplifiers and control her to meet his own goals, Nikolai also at one point takes her captive and only really gives her freedom back to her because she agrees to help him, and the apparat takes her captive so that he can use her to gain religious power over the masses. She also never gets herself out of these situations, she just accepts her situation and waits to be rescued, for others to save her so that they too can use her for their own gain. I find this theme of her either being a victim of men or the pawn of one really worrying.
Another issue with the way she is written which again ties into the two above is that she is made far too dependant on M*l. Not only does she make herself very ill by suppressing her powers to stay with M*l but when her powers are revealed her refusal to let go of her attachment to M*l means that she struggles to master her powers, she becomes physically unable to summon because her refusal to let M*l go. Later in book two and three she spends a lot of time pining after him and getting in arguments about their positions of power. M*l feels useless and resents Alina's new position and power, he wants things to go back to how they were. He really does hold her back in many ways and this really should have been a love that they both grew out of but instead despite it being made obvious that they don't really fit together they both refuse to let the other go which means one or the other has to make sacrifices in order for them to be together. Not only that but Alina often puts M*l's needs, wants and safety above the greater good, rather than save the grisha or other vulnerable people she will safe M*l even going so far as to let 30-40 innocent people die in the fold so that she can save his life. This co-dependant relationship that she has with M*l is very unhealthy and toxic which would be ok if this was recognised within the narrative and then steps were taken to fix it, but instead this relationship is presented as some grand love story despite how damaging it truly is to Alina. In the Tv adaption they show us that Alina can be very happy and actually thrive without M*l in ep 5, its the happiest we ever see her and the most confident, yet she never gets this opportunity in the books.
Alina is also very insecure and jealous and we often see her pitted against other females, in particular Zoya. If there is one thing I really am not a fan of its authors pitting women against women particularly when it is over a man. Throughout all of the books Alina is insecure that Zoya is more beautiful than her and is insecure about her own looks, particularly when is comes to M*l, she is often jealous believing M*l will be turned by other pretty girls instead of him staying loyal to her. She often worries that she won't be good enough as the Sun Summoner and that the people will come to hate her. Again all of this would have been fine if it were limited to just the beginning of her story arc and it was something she overcame, but she never really does. She often comes across as being quite sulky as well. There was this one quote that I kept seeing in the tag that Alina says which is 'I am the Sun Summoner. It gets dark when I say it does.' Obviously before reading the books I kept wondering the circumstances of her saying this. It is a bit of a badass quote so naturally I was imaging all kinds of grand, dramatic scenarios, her shouting it across the battlefield to the darkling, her saying it in a war meeting as they are making plans as a way of instilling hope and confidence in her troops. So you can imagine my disappointment when it is actually said whilst she is lying outside on the ground, sad and feeling sorry for herself. When presented with a problem or a wrench in a plan she doesn't rally her team and try to come up with a solution instead she just sulks which as a reader I found very frustrating. The thing is both Alina and M*l are written as rather realistic teenagers, but the problem is this doesn't fit the world they are living in. They live in a world based off imperial russia and yet the characters do not behave as if they are, instead they act like they are modern day teenagers attending high school with petty jealousy and childhood crushes.
There is also her identity as a grisha and relationship with the grisha. One of the more interesting aspects of the grisha trilogy is the grisha's story, their oppression and their fight to be recognised as human beings and equals. Yet Alina shows very little care for the Grisha. In fact to me it seems like the author just made Alina grisha to serve the plot. Alina is grisha because the narrative needs her to be, they need her to be powerful enough to defeat the villainous darkling and destroy the fold. Instead of striving to improve things for the Grisha Alina supports the monarchy that has spent centuries oppressing them. The moment LB no longer needs Alina to be grisha she is stripped of the identity and the grisha are left in their misery in a world that still hunts, kills and enslaves them.
Alina is also often punished in the narrative by other characters but also by herself. She is often shamed for the attraction she felt towards the darkling and is called things like stupid girl. Not only is she blamed for falling for the darkling's manipulation she is also told she is greedy and power hungry for seeking out the amplifiers and political power. It's a very twisted message that is sent because we are told she is seeking the amplifiers to stop the villain which is a heroic cause and yet we are also told that she is doing out of greed. There seems to be this message that women should not seek power or a change in their position because that means they are greedy and evil.
Then after three books of the protagonist being used as a chess piece by the men in the story she gets one of the worst endings a heroine could. Both Nikolai and M*l get what they want in the end but its at a cost to Alina, Nikolai gets the Ravkan throne and M*l gets the quiet farm life with Alina as his wife. But Alina loses her powers and the position of power she got with them. The two things she explicitly asks for and tells us she desires, her position as general of the second army and her powers/amplifiers. In fact she even tells us in the second book that given a choice she would not give up her powers not even for M*l. Yet that is what happens and worse than that the narrative tells us that she was wrong and greedy for seeking power and influence, they present this ending she gets as a happy one because she gets to spend her life with M*l living a nice normal life. As a reader I found this difficult to except because the character had told us on many occasions that it was not what she wanted, we are shown often how miserable she is without her powers and yet we are expected to believe that this was some wonderful fairytale ending for her when it seems like whilst the men got their happy ever afters it was at the expense of Alina.
There is probably more but before this turns into a full on rant I think it best to leave it here.

Can I request Empress from AHIT love languages please? Thank you! Hope you're having a good day!
Quality Time: She has business to attend to often, so she makes sure to cherish the time that she does get to spend with you. She gets affectionate during these times, and you can frequently catch her just staring at you in admiration.
Although she likes to have you with her when she’s working as well, be that sitting on her lap while she’s giving orders, taking you with her to parties and events (although never anything dangerous), or standing with her in her store. She feels powerful when she gets to show you off.
She makes it clear that she enjoys your company and will find time for you, if that’s something you’re concerned about. But if you feel like she’s not spending enough time with you, she’ll try to make up for it with some extra spoiling or having her underlings come check on you when she can’t.
.
Physical Touch: Doesn’t need constant touch, but can be cuddly when it’s affection time. Likes being held, laying her head on you, and nuzzling her face against you.
She also loves kissing you, which for her includes nuzzles and licks as well. She usually holds your face while kissing you. She holds you and handles you gently like that any time she’s being physically affectionate, like she’s treating you as something precious.
And she eats up any affection you show her. She can’t help but purr when you give her attention. Like most cats, she loves a good chin scratch or a scratch behind the ears. She likes also if you play with her hands, pet her back, or play with her hair. She likes a little back massage too, as she gets tense from holding her position so often.
.
Words of Affirmation: She tends to give you small doses of words. She calls you lots of pet names (kitten and darling especially, but may opt for sweetheart, gorgeous, cute thing, my prized jewel, precious, or others) and often. She loves if she can get a reaction from you by calling you such things.
She’ll praise you for anything. She’s often telling you what a good job you did for even the smallest things. And she means it, sometimes she even has moments where she just has to nuzzle you and tell you how proud she is.
She compliments your looks and your outfit often as well, whether you dressed up or you just rolled out of bed. She really thinks you’re beautiful and can’t help but tell you so. And she’ll give you extra attention and praise if she knows you have trouble accepting it.
On the flip side, she loves praise. It means a lot more to her to hear praise from you compared to anybody else. Even though she’s confident in herself, it just melts her to think of your adoration.
It’s rare she gives you long-winded praise, but she’ll give it a try for you. If you do so for her, she gets very flustered! She saves any cards or love letters you send her.
.
Gifts: Absolutely spoils you with gifts. Gets you anything and everything you want and more.
From most people, gifts don’t mean much to her as they’re usually shallow offerings. But from you? Everything is special. It may be intimidating to gift her anything considering how much expensive and luxury items she has access to, but you don’t need anything fancy. As long as there’s thought in it, she loves it.
If you get her a decorative item, a card, a souvenir, etc, she happily displays it at home or in her office. She loves to look at it and think of you. She doesn’t think of herself as a cuddly person, but if you get her anything cuddly (even a plushie!) she cuddles it often. For things like food or tickets, she cherishes her time with whatever it is more simply because it’s from you. She firmly believes food you make or send her tastes better.
.
Acts of Service: She doesn’t think twice about doing little things to make life easier for you. Opening and closing doors for you, pulling out your chair, carrying bags for you, starting a shower or bath for you so it’s warm - all those classic chivalrous things.
This runs a bit with gifts as well-preparing food for you, fetching you something you want.
And when she wants to spend time with you, she doesn’t want distractions. She sets aside, helps you with, or does chores/work for you to get to affection time sooner. Plus, she hates to see you stressed over work.
When you do things for her, it means more to her than all the work her underlines do for her. The fact that you did something for her without being asked is what makes it special. She doesn’t often ask you to do anything for her. She makes sure to give you a thanks, be that in words or kisses.

Day One: Family/In-laws
The Second Wayne Reunion
Damian tapped his fingers against the wheel.
“Anxious?” asked Raven.
“You know how last year turned out. I was surprised Father agreed to another reunion this year.”
One year ago, Dick had come up with the idea of having a family reunion. He had invited the whole Wayne family together under one roof once again. The results of the party didn’t end so well. Dick clearly wanted to make the reunions annual, because he once again invited everyone.
Damian took another left. They had to drive across Gotham to reach Wayne Manor. After getting married, he and Raven bought a stretch of land on the other side of Gotham. Together they designed their house and hired people to build it.
Damian let out a sigh. “That bastard, Grayson.”
“Language,” said Raven.
He glanced at the rear view mirror. Their daughter, Rashida, was asleep in the back. Although, she could be pretending. Rashida is an intelligent child, more mature than her actual age. However, she does tend to do dangerous things.
They pulled up at Wayne Manor at long last. Rashida woke up instantly.
“We're here!” she announced. The five year old got out of their car immediately to stretch her legs.
“Rae! Watch this!” shouted Mar’i. She flew up into the sky while Rae watched from the ground. Mar’i shot a green starbolt at a low cloud. The cloud lit up in green light before evaporating into thin air.
“Impressive,” commented Rae. She joined her cousin in the air. The two girls turned the clouds green and purple.
Sitting in deck chairs, Raven and Koriand’r watched the kids flying around.
“Did you teach her that?” questioned Raven.
Kori let out a laugh. “Of course not, Mar’i and Jacob discovered it. Speaking of Jacob, where is he?”
It was Raven’s turn to laugh. “I saw him with Jackson, they were building something out of Legos. How do you not know what your son is doing?”
“I’ve been very busy lately,” Kori defended herself.
“Hey sisters! Mind if I join you?” Stephanie didn’t wait for an answer, she took a seat in a chair across from Kori. “Cass and Babs will be here with the food in a few minutes.”
“Is Valkyrie joining us this year?” asked Kori.
“She sure is! Val better not drop out last minute,” said the blonde. “I can’t believe Dick allowed her to skip last year. I mean, like seriously? This is a family reunion and therefore Val can not be missing out.”
“She was on a mission,” said Raven. “Then again, you can’t blame her, this family can be quite a handful.”
“Makes me wonder how we are able to put up with them,” joked Stephanie.
-
“How’s the cooking going?” asked Raven.
Damian turned around to face his wife. “Fairly well,” he answered.
Raven nodded. She took in the scene. Pots and pans were on the stove. A large bowl of lettuce sat on the counter. Nearby stood a container of tofu, waiting to be opened.
“Where’s Richard? I thought he’d be cooking as well,” said Raven.
Damian let out a “tt”. He stirred the soup inside a large pot. “Grayson left an hour ago, he said something about napkins.”
“You do know that not everyone here is vegetarian, correct?” questioned Raven as she noticed that there wasn’t a single speck of meat in any of the dishes.
“I also know that they will have to pay for making me cook a meal for twenty people.”
“21, actually,” corrected Raven. “Valkyrie’s running late.”
“And there I thought she would skip like last year.”
Raven grabbed a spare apron. “I suppose it’s up to me to save everyone from eating tofu turkey tonight.”
“How heroic.”
-
“Mother? Father?” called Rashida.
“We’re in the kitchen, ibna,” answered Damian.
“What are you making?” Rashida stood on the tip of her toes and watched as Raven mixed together the stuffing for the turkey.
“Dinner. Would you like to help, love?” asked Raven.
“Actually I can not,” said Rashida.
“And why is that?”
“Mar’i and I are in need of some pots. We’re going to make popcorn the old fashioned way! But instead of making a fire, we’ll be heating it with our powers,” explained Rashida..
“Is anyone supervising you?” asked Damian.
“Of course, Uncle Jason’s helping us.” Rashida pulled a large pot out of the cabinet. “This will do perfectly,” she said. “Good luck on your cooking!”
“Should I be concerned that Jason is overseeing their popcorn-making?” asked Damian.
“You should have some faith in him,” said Raven.
-
“I think we’re done here,” said Raven.
Damian nodded. “This should be enough food for the whole family, including leftovers for everyone to take home.”
They have made a total of twelve different dishes, two-thirds of which are plant-based. Raven have also made five different types of pastries for dessert.
They left the kitchen to join the rest of the family in the living room. Selina was reading a book to her grandchildren. Rashida, however, was not with her cousins, she was throwing knives with her uncle. They took turns throwing from different positions, each time getting bullseye on the target board.
“Why couldn’t our daughter have some non-violent interests,” sighed Raven.
Damian smiled. “She’s the granddaughter of the first Batman and Trigon, and great granddaughter of Ra’s Al Ghul. And I should add that her adoptive grandfather also happens to be Superman. So I would say that throwing a few knives is perfectly fine.”
“I just want her to have a childhood full of peace and innocence, unlike ours,” Raven murmured.
“She is habibti, she is.” Damian held his wife close. They seated themselves on the couch and silently watched the scene before them.
The peace in the room could not be contained for long. Dick burst through the door holding a large bag.
“Guess what I got?” he sang.
Rashida didn’t even spare her uncle a glance. “A bag full of games,” she answered.
“Uh, yeah. Great guess, Rae,” stuttered Dick. It still intrigued him how she knew what was inside. Well she is her parents’ daughter.
Dick laid out the contents on the table. There was a wide variety of games from classic card games to Twister.
The doorbell rang as soon as he took out the last game.
“That must be Val!” Kori rose to answer the door.
A minute later, the said woman arrived in the room. She could’ve been a younger version of Cassandra, except her features are more sharp. The youngest of the Wayne siblings, Valkyrie was adopted at the age of thirteen. That was ten years ago.
She came just like her oldest adoptive brother, holding a large bag. All the kids, including Rashida, ran over to see what was inside.
“Alright, settle down first,” Valkyrie said. She pulled out four colorfully wrapped boxes and handed one to each of the kids.
Mar’i opened her box and gasped in surprise. “Thank you so much Aunt Val! They’re beautiful.” The twelve year old has received silver bracelets, similar to her mother’s, but with detailed markings on them.
When Jackson opened his box, his jaw dropped. Inside was a Build-Your-Own 3-Dimensional Holographic Projector. “Thank you Aunt Val!” said the eight year old.
Jacob’s gift was eight limited edition action figurines. “How did you-? How is this-?” The boy was so shocked to see eight expensive figurines, that were probably worth a hundred dollars each, in front of him.
“I have my ways, little one,” answered Valkyrie.
“Thank you so much,” he said, giving Valkyrie a big hug.
“Your welcome, and please I’d like some personal space.”
Rashida slowly opened her box. Inside was a white cloak. The fabric was quite unusual. It was soft, stretchy, thin, and light. Yet the fabric also felt strong, and sturdy. The bright ruby glowed in the golden clasp. Unlike Raven’s cloak, this one had sleeves. The hems and cuffs of the cloak were embroidered with intricate designs. Rashida slipped on the cloak, it fitted perfectly. “Thank you, Aunt Valkyrie,” said the five year old.
“There are no gifts for your siblings? Wow, how kind of you,” spoke up Jason.
Valkyrie smiled. “Of course not, only ones for the kids,” she pulled out two more boxes, “and the parents.”
Selina and Bruce gave her their thanks then  proceeded to open their gift. Silent received a full set of cat themed jewelry, while Bruce received a grey tie.
“I actually needed a new tie,” he said.
