found family; with sae itoshi
imagine volunteering at japan's u20 working a small job but unintentionally becoming friends with SAE ITOSHI... no, not having the usual equal respect and companionship, or expectant friends to lovers. you're the same age as his little brother, so he oddly treats you like a little sister. the weird thing? he's so nonchalant about it.
"excuse me, but they're confirming if you wanted a red or white zip up again..." twiddling with your fingers softly before pointing to your pushy bosses, you seem to be making good friends with the floor while speaking to a famous, pro-league, good-looking but mean soccer player (sae itoshi). your classmates were all practically screaming at how lucky you were to secure volunteer service in professional sports, in professional soccer. i mean, the card collecter boys in your class were practically feining, asking you for autographs and other stupid favours. maybe you could ask for a picture, yeah—you were definitely going to ask sae itoshi for a picture, but that thought was soon dispersed at the man's dismisive tone. "white is fine," the midfielder curtly replies, with a straight face and one hand planted on the side of his hip. "how old are you?" he looks down at you with the world's most unreadable gaze and ridiculously long lower lashes, "sixteen." you reply, finally facing him. "oh," sae dryly responds, that bored look in his eyes in never, "you're about the same age as my little brother."
oh!
"[name], come here." sae itoshi murmurs, laying flat on the floor in the middle of the training center, you look around the empty facility at five in the morning, confirming if he was even POSSIBLY speaking to you again. "yeah?" he tuts on the floor, lifting a muscled leg in your field of vision, "i need help stretching, pull on my leg."
your eyes scan hesitantly over the dangling cleat, before your hands lock around his ankle, attempting to pull and soothe his strange stretching, though definitely failing. why was the midfielder so heavy? he wasn't even trying to make this easier by at least slightly lifting himself. "you're bad at this, not even lukewarm." he'd say, though his tone didn't show any real frustation or intended offense. instead, cerulean eyes blow open when you pull a little too hard and hear something crack that most likely wasn't supposed to.
on other days, he'd pat your head and buy you a popsicle, two for the price of one was a better deal, anyway.
and on the day of japan's u20 verus blue lock's eleven, when RIN ITOSHI's piercing gaze catches the melting popsicle clutched in your hand and sae handing you a napkin, he freezes. his gaze softens in a way that doesn't melt away at the icy chambers of his heart, but instead softens and melts it wholly intead. that day, you were genuinely bewildered and confused that blue lock's number one gave you more dirty looks that day than any actual player on the field.
"your brother is scary," you mutter, causing the taller midfielder beside you perk up in interest. "he kept giving me death glares." sae rolls his eyes at the thought, "maybe he likes you, i dunno. he's in his rebillious phase." it truly made you, at your adolescent age, realise that sae itoshi's head was entirely hollow when not thinking about football. buuut, he buys you ice cream, so who really cares?

500ish words / tsukishima kei x f!reader
fluff , use of Y/N , sweet kisses , tsukki being pretty cheesy tbh
Tumblr media
“Tsukishima…”  Y/N’s voice is a mere whisper, barely audible over the quiet melody drifting from the speaker.
“Hm?”  He cocks his head to look at her.  The blond is caught off guard, however, when he notices just how close she is.  And as if it is second nature to him, his gaze flickers down to her lips as quickly as lightning strikes.  Shit, he thinks.  He hopes she didn’t notice.
“What?”  The boy asks more adamantly this time, faux annoyance adorning his features.
She giggles lightly, “You’re really good at that, y’know…”
“Good at what?”  Tsukishima’s eyebrow quirks up.
“Acting mean,” this time her eyes look down at his lips, “but you’re lucky I know better.  You’re too nice to me.”
At this point, the space between them is rapidly closing, and Tsukki only has time to gulp and chuckle nervously before that distance is nonexistent.
Y/N’s lips are soft.  Her kiss is light, and Tsukishima can't help but let out a breath through his nose close enough to a whine.  He doesn't understand how she can make him feel this way so easily.  It's almost like he could start floating at any moment.  Or maybe his heart would race right out of his chest - rushing to burrow itself closer to hers.  Not that he would complain, though.  Deep down, he thinks it’d be happier that way…
Her nose nudges against his as she tilts her head slightly, pressing further into him, now gliding her gentle hands up his chest and around the nape of his neck.  She fiddles with the short blond tendrils there briefly before fully embracing him.
After a few moments, she pulls back.  Tsukshima’s lips subconsciously follow hers – like it’s some natural instinct to keep them melded together – but he’s stopped by a light peck on the tip of his nose.
He opens his eyes this time, lashes fluttering in a daze as he takes in the image before him.
She’s beautiful.
Tsukishima sighs imperceptibly.  He knows if she could read his thoughts she’d smack him for thinking such lies.  But, they’re not lies. And, he wishes, more than anything, for her to believe it too.
“Kei,” he swears he could get drunk just off her voice, “you’re so pretty.”
The boy blinks slowly once, then twice before finally registering her words.  And, without even thinking, the next words slip out of his mouth.
“That’s my line.”
If it were any other man than the one and only Tsukishima Kei, it wouldn’t have been so surprising.  But, it is him, and the shade of red that flushes across Y/N’s entire face, and down past the collar of her shirt, is almost record-breaking for the amount of time it occurred in.  In order to hide her embarrassment quickly, she slumps forward, face resting comfortably in the crook of his neck.
“Stop,” she mumbles, “that was too cheesy…”  Tsukki chuckles at her barely audible statement, trying not to squirm from her tickling breath.
“Don’t try to hide the fact that you liked it.  And, that makes you cheesy,” he whispers directly into her ear, which earns a quiet groan from the girl.
She pulls herself halfway out of her hiding spot but stops to leave a chaste kiss on his jaw.
“You’re stupid,” she says plainly.
“Yeah, yeah.  I love you too, or whatever.”

☀️ mlist + an. i had a field day with the au selection for this one haha
Tumblr media
Prologue:
There was never any doubt when Donghyuck was born, that he was his father’s son. He’d come out of the womb punching, and despite his mother being a mistress, the renowned weapons dealer had claimed Donghyuck as his own, as he’d claimed other illegitimate would-be heirs. 
The blood of the mother was redundant in Donghyuck’s father’s eyes, all that mattered, was that he was a Lee. This mentality had stayed with Donghyuck in his early childhood, growing up amongst other half-siblings. Mark, for example, was slightly older, and although he had more of his mother’s gentle temperament, he knew how to live up to his name when it mattered. Jeno, in contrast, was very much another mini-me to their father, very bold, very aggressive. 
When Donghyuck was ten, something happened that would change the entire course of his life. 
Having lived in a corrupt monarchy for the entirety of his existence, and having a father who was somewhat of a Kingpin in the shady world of weapons, Donghyuck grew to have a disdain for the King, who was always meddling, always making choices that had negative effects on his people.
The Lees weren’t the only clan who hated the King, in fact, the head royal’s choices were so bad, that he gained the moniker ‘The Mad King.’ His own family had turned against him, and when he would not willingly relinquish his power it was decided that for the first time in a very long time, an internal assassination would be the best choice for the entire realm.
When Donghyck was ten, his eldest half-brother, Lee Taeyong, assassinated The Mad King, thus making way for the thrown to be usurped by the King’s own younger brother, a younger brother who now had ties, and a debt to settle, with Donghyuck’s family.
The first year after The Mad King’s death saw more reform for the better than perhaps ever in the history of the kingdom. There were some who were unhappy with a militia-style arms dealer family injecting themselves into the court through a blood favor, but others understood that sometimes, this type of brute force is necessary for positive change. Besides, the new King understood, as the King before him had not, that having the raw power of the Lees backing him up would be the safest choice of all.
At eleven, Donghyuck was sent to the castle to be a ward for the royal family. He would spend six months of the year learning the ins and outs of the court. This was the first time Donghyuck had felt like a half-son, like the birth of his mother had reflected negatively on him. He didn’t want to be in the libraries studying, or learning how to make diplomatic concessions- that wasn’t who he was. Lee Donghyuck was not a royal, and in the mind of his eleven-year-old self, he never would be.
Donghyuck would spend seven years in between the castle and his family home, feeling torn, feeling less than his half-brothers, who were gaining the benefit of a full-time life with his father. There were a few bright moments with the royals, bright moments when he’d first met you, the Princess. The two of you became fast friends, both sharing a common feeling of dissatisfaction with your fathers’ treatment, both feeling like being the youngest in a large clan had its downsides.
At eighteen, Donghyuck was no longer forced to be a ward. He was a full member of the Lee’s now, and he’d spent all his time in the castle working to be the best asset to his father that he could be, desperately wanting to prove to his father that he could be the best of all his sons, maybe even better than Taeyong, who had been the tool used to secure their spot as royal-adjacents. 
It wasn’t until Donghyuck was twenty that he learned the truth of why he had been the one chosen to go to the castle. He, out of all his siblings, of age, and of sharp mind, was determined to be the most useful plant within the marble walls of royalty.
After he’d found out how his father truly saw him, Donghyuck became a fully unstoppable force, and he never looked back.
Tumblr media
One:
“It’s been a long time,” the old advisor to the King says as he takes a seat, staring at Donghyuck from behind his large office desk. 
“It has,” Donghyuck agrees, eying all the official papers that still scatter Seunghyun’s space. 
“I received the letter from your father,” the advisor continues, reaching for the document in question to hold it up. “I suppose I always knew this day was coming, especially after what your family did for our King.”
Donghyuck nods. It would seem to him that the notion of an arranged marriage had likely always been in his father’s back pocket, but of course, when Donghyuck was younger, he hadn’t realized he would be the intended Lee to join the royal family. Now, as a man, the entire play makes sense. He’s not a complete stranger to the princesses, nor is he unfamiliar with the court and the way the royals conduct themselves.
No, Donghyuck was purposefully sent here by his father to infiltrate, to make the exact move that he’s attempting to make right now. 
Lee Donghyuck will marry into the royal family, forever securing an unbreakable bond between them, and it is this mission, that Donghyuck has unknowingly spent over ten years trying to achieve. 
“I have discussed this letter with the King,” Seunghyun continues, ��and we assume there is no guess as to whom you would like as your bride.”
“No guess,” Donghyuck responds with a chuckle, looking down at the Lee family ring on his pinky. 
“You always did have a connection with the youngest princess. If it would be amenable to your father… If he has no other specifications as to which Princess you are to be wedded to, the King agrees that you and Princess y/n can be wed within a week’s time.”
Donghyuck can’t help the way his heart thumps in his chest. His father had made him aware of this royally arranged marriage a month ago, but he’s still not quite used to the idea that you’ll be his wife.
He’d always had an attraction to you, an attraction to your body, mind, and spirit- but as a teenager, he’d done his best to push those thoughts aside. He’d been acutely aware that your differing situations in life would most likely keep you from ever being in a union- 
In some ways, Donghyuck feels like he’s entered a very good dream, but there are some anxieties that come with it. After all, he hasn’t seen you in years… what if your opinion of him has changed?
“That timeline works for the Lee clan,” Donghyuck says smoothly, “as does the Princess in question.”
It’s funny how easily Donghyuck slips back into the diction of the castle, the ‘proper’ way of speaking. it’s been years since he’s been here, but in some odd way, it’s as if he never left.
Tumblr media
Two:
“The two of you always had a connection,” your older sister Jenni concedes as you sit in front of your vanity, an artist working on your makeup. “But you haven't seen him in years.”
“He can’t have changed that much, right?” you ask, looking between your siblings.
Hwasa exchanges a glance with Jenni. As the second oldest, Hwasa is married already, however, in contrast to your arranged match, she’d been wed to a Prince and is now next in line for a throne half a continent away.
“Certain qualities are bound to stay the same,” Hwasa says diplomatically. “However… I have heard about his more recent reputation.”
You’ve all heard about it. Once upon a time, Taeyong had been the prodigal son of the Lee clan, he’d even overthrown a whole kingdom for the chance to strengthen family ties, but in recent years, the story goes that the eldest Lee boy had become timid, less so like his father. Donghyuck, in contrast, has supposedly risen in the ranks, working all the way up to somewhat of a right-hand man figure, despite him being one of the younger members of the halfling brood. 
“He’ll still be the same boy who wanted to skip lessons to play in the park,” you insist. “The same boy who got high marks without studying.”
“Intellect is an attractive trait,” Hwasa concedes, “however, I seem to remember his reckless disdain for rules got you in trouble a number of times as well.”
“She was always following him into bad situations,” Jenni agrees with a laugh. “It was charming when they were young. A twelve-year-old kingpin’s son, corrupting a princess to go on ‘dangerous’ quests, playing pretend in the castle park.” 
“I guess neither of us thought we’d ever be very important to our families,” you sigh. “I’m the youngest daughter. Sure, I was expected to marry well, but I think we all knew I’d never be more than a princess. I’m no Queen.”
“Maybe not one in name,” Hwasa says, cocking her head to the side as she plays with your veil. “But someone has to run the Lee empire when the kingpin dies, and many sources are pointing toward Donghyuck as being the next in line. Securing you as a match would definitely add some… legitimacy, considering the fact that he’s a half-blood.”
“His father’s wife never bore children,” you point out, feeling defensive. “It made sense for him to have mistresses, children born out of wedlock. He kept his wife, whom he loved, but still needed a line to inherit his work. It’s an arrangement they had.”
“I’ve heard conflicting reports on whether Mrs. Lee was very agreeable to the situation, having a host of children calling your husband father while she herself was not a birth mother,” Hwasa sighs.
“I don’t want to hear about this anymore,” you declare. “I’m getting married today, and these politics and talks of family lines and legitimacy are dampening my mood.”
Your sisters exchange one last look, but then they bow their heads to you, a sign of submission.
You know they’re just protective, that they’re not the only ones dissecting the arrangement with your fiance. 
Having spent your life in a castle, you’re used to gossip. The only person who never truly cared about what others thought was Donghyuck, and you’re eager for the strength he provided you when you were young.
Tumblr media
Three:
Donghyuck can hardly breathe when the church doors open and you begin to walk through. Your veil obscures your face, your chin dipped down to pay attention to the floor as your father slowly escorts you up the aisle. Even without being able to fully see you, Donghyuck can tell you’ve only grown more beautiful in the years since he’s seen you, and his heart begins to thump wildly in his chest.
Jeno and Mark are his groomsmen, and he can feel them shifting behind him, clearly reacting to your beauty, as everyone in the House of God is. 
Things seem to move incredibly slowly, and also incredibly fast. The King is handing you off to Donghyuck, and he’s taking you by the hand, marveling at the scar on your palm that you’d gotten from slipping on a rock when you were both fifteen. God, the castle physician had had a field day with Hyuck when that happened-
He can feel your eyes on him, and soon, he’s lifting your veil to see your face.
Donghyuck can feel the smile that appears on his lips, and you shyly beam back, downcasting your gaze. The Lee can hardly hear the minister as he goes through a useless traditional ceremony, it’s all business after all.
The only things that matter are the ‘I do’s’ and the kiss, and when that happens, Donghyuck is fully present. He wets his lips, squeezing your hand gently. You give him a small nod, a wordless show that it’s okay, that he can move forward and solidify the future you’ll now have together, the future that, in some ways, was always meant to be. 
He wants to be gentle with you, cupping your face and watching you intently as you both move in. At the last moment, your eyes flutter closed, and he mirrors the action, pressing his lips to yours.
It’s the most chaste kiss Donghyuck’s ever had, but at the same time, nothing in the world has ever excited him more.
You taste like mandarine oranges and springtime, and a familiar feeling that has been buried for years begins to bubble up in the young man’s chest like the blossoming of a cherry tree. You’re his future, and he can feel it in his very soul.
Tumblr media
Four:
You’ve felt as if things had progressed quite naturally at the wedding and reception, but now, going with Donghyuck to his home and finally getting some alone time- well, you’re beginning to feel twinges of anxiety.
This man, who you’d known years ago, has grown up. His hair is a little longer, and his hands bear the marks of an everlasting fighter’s soul, but despite these changes, his smile is still the same, as is the soft way he gazes at you.
“How are you feeling?” Donghyuck asks, walking around his large master bedroom to retrieve some water for you.
“I’m alright, and you?” 
“Never been better,” your husband grins, handing you a cup and sitting across from you in the small seating area of his room by the fire. “Were you surprised by this whole arrangement thing?”
You cock your head to the side, considering the question. “Yes, and no. I hadn’t expected a marriage connection between our families, but once I was made aware of it, it felt like I was stupid for never seeing the intention before. And when I found out it would be you marrying someone from my family, I knew you would choose me.”
“We always got along.”
“We did more than get along,” you laugh, feeling your skin flush. You take a sip of water to steady yourself. “I’d always had a crush on you, Donghyuck, following you around like a lost puppy-”
“You never felt like a lost puppy to me. You were just my best friend six months of the year.”
You can’t help but smile. “Best friend,” you repeat, releasing a sad breath. “I was upset when you turned eighteen and stopped coming. I never heard from you.”
“Life got busy,” Donghyuck frowns. 
“I’ve heard,” you nod.
You can feel him studying you, and he leans forward. “I’m sorry. I should have contacted you.”
“It’s alright,” you wave your hand. “We’re here now.”
“We are,” he agrees. “If it makes you feel better, I’ve been thinking about you.”
“You have?”
“I uh…” He rubs the back of his neck shyly, “I always had a crush on you too, but I figured it would never work out, so…”
“It’s funny how life has a way of bringing people together again,” you muse. “As if our fates were always set in stone, always meant to be…” you search for the right word, and it comes to you both in unison: “aligned.” 
You both laugh, looking down, and it’s as if you’re shy teenagers again, teasing with the idea of a forbidden romance that has now come to fruition, with the full backing of both of your families.
“You look very beautiful,” Donghyuck muses, eyes raking over your wedding dress.
“I thought you might like this one,” you smile, also looking down at yourself. “I remember you used to like the bows I’d wear in my hair, always tugging on them-”
“So you wrapped yourself up like a pretty present for me,” Donghyuck deduces. “How very generous of you, Princess.”
A giddy tingle erupts up your spine. While everyone calls you Princess - as it is your title - it feels different coming from Donghyuck’s lips, and it always has.
“It’s our wedding night…” you point out, “I wanted to gift you something, give you something to unwrap.”
Donghyuck swallows thickly, a motion you don’t miss. “Princess… you’ve gotten… bold since we last met.”
“You’re my husband, can’t I be bold with you, Hyuck?”
He takes a deep breath. “I wasn’t sure you’d want to be… I mean, I’m willing to give you time-”
“Consummation is a time-honored tradition,” you point out, only half teasing. “It’s our wedding night, and I’m not the only person with expectations.”
“I doubt your family expects me to give you an heir, Hwasa and your eldest brother have more than delivered in that area,” Donghyuck laughs. “But I see your point.”
“Do you?” You set your water down, standing. Turning your back to Donghyuck, you approach the large bed before looking over your shoulder at him. He’s taking in the bows that make the length of your corsetted back, and you can see his mind working to figure out how he’s going to undo everything in a timely manner. “Come, husband, unwrap your wedding present.”
You’ve been dreaming about this night all week- in fact, you’ve been fantasizing about this since you were sixteen. 
Donghyuck might have a reputation to uphold in the darker world he inhabits with his family, but with you, this is Hyuck, the rascal ward who’d stolen your heart when you were children. Right now, he’s not a future Kingpin, nor are you a Princess. Instead, you’re man and wife, and you intend to reap the new benefits these connected titles give you.
You can sense Donghyuck hesitate as he approaches you, coming to a stop just at your back. His hands gently smooth up your arms, and he leans forward to press his lips to your shoulder. “Are you sure about this?” he asks.
“I’ve never been more sure,” you respond, arching your neck to look back at him. 
Donghyuck reaches up to pinch your chin, and then he kisses you.
It’s a soft kiss like you’d shared at the alter just hours ago, but you have no need to put on a chaste show for royals, there’s no one currently in attendance at this special moment. It’s just you and him, and you’re quick to turn things deeper, releasing a small moan of pleasure as you turn in his arms, threading your fingers through his silky hair.
He grabs your waist, but as you kiss, you can feel his palm smoothing to the small of your back. He begins to pluck loose all the intricate bows, not missing a beat as he does so.
You tug at his suit and Donghuck concedes to you just long enough to get his jacket off before he returns to his task. The kiss is turning heated very quickly, and your skin is tingling with excitement, your heart racing like a wild bird in your rib cage.
Donghyuck begins to kiss down to your throat, licking and sucking on the skin while you gasp and whimper. He’s all-consuming, and you don’t know where to focus as he worships you while simultaneously undoing the bows on the back of your dress. 
His lips ghost by the swell of your breasts, pushed up by the corsetted structure in your wedding gown. God, it feels amazing, and you throw your head back, panting deeply.
“Being so good for me, Princess,” Donghyuck muses, his lips trailing back up your throat. He pulls away, looking down at you. “I want you to know- you can change your mind at any time and I won’t hold it against you-”
“Hyuck,” you groan. “Can you just let me want you?” You bunch your hands up in his suit. “Can you accept that I need you? That I’m not being forced, or coerced- that this ‘arranged’ marriage isn’t even really that ‘arranged’ because, for me, it’s always been you?” 
He’s staring at you in shock, and you decide to take matters into your own hands. You muster up all your strength and push him onto the bed before confidently mounting him. You gather up the poofy skirts of your dress, getting comfortable so you can grind down on him despite all the fabric in the way.
“I didn’t expect this,” Donghyuck admits, swallowing thickly.
“Get used to it,” you fire back, leaning down to cup his face, pressing your lips against his with a newfound passion.
He quickly gets to work on the back of your dress again, and now you’re both moaning at the feeling of you grinding down on top of him. 
Something hard is pressing up against your core, and the knowledge that he’s already hard has you feeling feverish in the best possible way. He wants you the way you want him, and you’re starting to regret wearing such an intricate dress.
“Fuck this,” Hyuck groans, pushing you off of him and onto the bed. He grabs you next, flipping you onto your stomach. When you look over your shoulder, you realize he’s produced a knife - had he been hiding that in a clip on the back of his pants this whole time?
With one rough stroke, he cuts through all the ribbons and the lace along the back of your dress, ruining it in an effort to get to you quickly.
“I never had much patience for presents or keeping wrapping paper intact,” Donghyuck muses, leaning over to set his knife on the bedside table. “Let's get you out of this fucking gown.”
He flips you again, and you release a giggle at the manhandling, loving this new side of your husband. He’s clearly insatiable, and it sets your entire body on fire as he grips your dress and practically tears it from your form. 
You’re in undergarments, and unlike your dress, there hadn't been any royal and historical specifications about the details, so the thong and garter are very much a contrast to the now-destroyed gown that’s been tossed aside. 
The corset on the dress has been enough to not merit a bra of any sort, so now, looking up at Donghyuck, you’re already half naked, and it’s clear that he’s taken aback from the view.
He stops, just staring at you, his lips parted in disbelief. 
“Wow,” he breathes.
“Like what you see?”
“Yes, Princess.” He swallows thickly, gaze finally dipping to take in your thong and the wedding garter on your thigh. “This is pretty.” Donghyuck grabs at the lacey strap, pulling it away from your skin to let it gently snap back.
“It’s not the most traditional thing in the world for royals to wear one, but I thought you might enjoy it,” you muse.
“What do I do with it?”
“I was thinking… you could take it off with your teeth.”
“My teeth?” Donghyuck looks up at you with surprise.
“Your teeth,” you confirm, “but… maybe also take your shirt off first.”
“Is this tradition?” your husband asks as he begins to unbutton his top.
“Not entirely,” you giggle, enjoying the look of his tanned skin as more and more of it is revealed.
When you’d known Donghyuck before, he’d always been a little scrawny, but in his years away, he’s built muscle, and the sight of it is making you drool.
There are a few scars that litter his skin as well, scars that likely have stories you’ll have to ask about later, but right now, your focus is of a more primal nature.
Donghyuck shrugs his shirt to the floor, then he gets down on the bed between your legs. He starts peppering your calf in kisses, slowly ascending to your knee, then your thigh.
The feeling of his breath makes you groan and he looks up at you with dark eyes. 
“Keep going,” you urge, grabbing at the bed sheets. 
His teeth tease along the flimsy garter, and once he has an acceptable grip, he begins to tug it down your leg. Donghyuck moves slowly, toying with you and building the suspense. 
You can feel your pussy beginning to throb with need already, and when the garter is discarded, Donghyuck’s lips take the same path up your leg again, but this time, he doesn’t stop where the material had just been.
He continues until his breath is fanning across your covered core, and it makes you whine, gripping the sheets tighter.
“Can I take these off too?” Donghyuck asks, voice low as one of his fingers teases the waistband of your thong.
“Please,” you whimper, lifting your hips a little to help him remove the only piece of clothing still standing between your husband and what you both want most.
Your panties are gone in a flash, and then two hands are snaking under your thighs, adjusting your core. Donghyuck licks his lips, looking up at you. 
You expect him to say something, but he doesn’t, instead, he dives in, licking your pussy and sucking your clit into his mouth while you release a strangled cry. One of your hands flies down to tangle in his hair, and Donghyuck groans deeply, sending a vibration through your core that lights up your entire form.
As a Princess, your virtue has always been protected. You’re a virgin, and while you know about sex, you’ve never known what it is to experience it with another.
Nothing could have prepared you for this, for the way your entire body tingles with pleasure so all-consuming that you can’t help but moan desperately. 
Donghyuck eats you like he’s been a man starved, unashamed to be a little messy. 
There’s something sinful about it, but something that also feels so right- so correct.
Donghyuck adjusts slightly, and you feel a finger begin to gently circle your wet hole. He pushes just the tip in and you mewl from the sensation. Your husband takes your sound as an affirmation to continue, so he presses further inside of you, still moving slowly and gently to allow your body to adjust to the foreign intrusion.
You love how he’s taking his time with you, listening to your body and your cues.
It seems clear that he’s aware this is your first time with a man, and he’s not in some eager, self-gratifying rush to get to the part where he’s the one feeling good. 
Soon he has a whole finger inside of you while he continues to suck on your clit, and he pumps the digit slowly, working you open in the most delightful way.
“Can I add another?” he asks, gently kissing your sensitive bud as he looks up at you.
“Yeah, I’m ready,” you nod, swallowing thickly.
Donghyuck returns to his task, licking at your clit to distract you from the stretch that comes with two fingers now slowly working into you.
He adjusts his hand again, crooking the digits up to hit a sweet spot inside of you that makes your toes curl.
“Oh my God-” you whimper, clutching at the sheets again.
“Feels good?” he asks.
“Feels amazing,” you confirm, eyes shut as you can enjoy the pleasure that’s coursing through you.
Donghyuck applies more pressure to the sweet spot inside of you, thrusting in an almost rhythmic fashion as he sucks harder on your clit. 
You’re all consumed by the throbbing ecstasy that’s bubbling out from your core and into the entirety of your body. 
“Do you think you might cum for me soon, Princess?” Donghyuck asks.
“I… I think so,” you nod, swallowing thickly.
“Take your time,” he assures you, “when the feeling hits, just let go for me.” 
He continues to worship your pussy, licking and sucking and stroking and fingering- your toes begin to curl from the pleasure, and the feeling is building quickly in your abdomen. 
You’re gasping now, panting and moaning, clutching at the bed desperately. “Hyuck-” you whimper.
He responds by sucking your clit even harder and your thighs move to close around him, but your husband pushes them open with his free hand. He finger fucks you even harder, and before you know it, the tension in your stomach is snapping.
A wave of euphoria unlike anything you’ve ever felt washes over you like a warm summer rain. You gasp loudly, pleasure throbbing out from your core and engulfing you.
Donghyuck doesn’t stop, he works you through it, ignoring the way your thighs are shaking around him, the way you’re clawing at the bed and crying out.
“Hyuck!” you whimper, finally unable to take any more of the pleasure-
Your husband pulls away from your core, and you hear him lick his lips, but you’re too exhausted to open your eyes.
He pulls away from your core. “You look good like this, Princess.” 
You don’t even have the words to respond, chest heaving, heart racing-
The bed dips as he lays down next to you, and you feel him push some hair away from your face. His lips brush your cheek, his hand moving down to your breast, where he begins to massage your flesh.
“That might be enough for tonight,” he muses softly.
“What?” Your eyes snap open.
“You look pretty tired.”
“Hyuck,” you take a deep breath, “I… I need you to fuck me.”
He stares at you in shock. “I’ve never heard that word come from your mouth before, Princess, this must be pretty serious.”
“It is,” you insist, cupping his cheek. “Please.” 
“If that’s what my Princess wants,” Donghyuck concedes with a grin. “I’ll go slowly, I promise.”
He gets up again, and you watch him take off his pants.
You’ve never seen a cock in real life before, and the way his springs up makes your mouth water.
He’s thick, and a decent size too, or so you assume. You lick your lips in anticipation as he gets back onto the bed with you.
He moves between your thighs, and your legs wrap around him instinctively, your hand cupping his cheek again.
You draw your lips to his as he begins to gently rut, his cock gliding between your soaked pussy lips with easy, teasing by your clit, but not entering you.
It’s as if he’s toying with you, and your patience runs thin very fast. “Please,” you whimper again.
“You got it, Princess.”
He grabs the base of his cock, adjusting so his tip can fully tease your hole now. He pushes in slightly and you grab his shoulders, squeezing and making him stop.
You can feel him watching your facial expressions as you get used to the largest intrusion you’ve ever had inside of you. 
“Just breathe,” he tells you, bringing his lips to your throat in an effort to soothe.
“Okay,” you nod, “okay, deeper.”
He follows your instructions, gently pushing in another inch only to pause and wait for your affirmation to continue.
This continues for a few minutes, Donghyuck diligently taking his time and allowing you to acclimatize to his cock until he’s fully sheathed in your wet and throbbing core. 
“Okay, okay,” you nod, breathing heavily. “You can move now.”
Donghyuck cups your cheek, kissing you softly as he begins to gently rock back and forth. Your pussy walls are getting used to the sensation, and the slick from your orgasm makes things very smooth as he gradually increases the intensity.
You begin to moan from the feeling of him, clawing at his shoulders again, kissing him desperately as he makes love to you in your wedding bed.
One of Donghyuck’s hands moves down to your thigh, hiking it higher on his hip. Suddenly he’s hitting a deep spot inside of you, making you cry out as your toes curl with pleasure.
“Good?” he asks, pressing kisses along your throat.
“Good,” you confirm, whimpering desperately.
“You’re so tight,” Donghyuck groans.
“Maybe you’re just big,” you counter, stifling a giggle.
It’s shocking how natural this feels- there’s no awkwardness with Donghyuck, after all, you might be newlyweds from an arranged marriage, but you’ve been friends for most of your lives. You couldn’t imagine a better man to be with, a better man to be taking care of you for your first time.
“Princess,” Donghyuck moans, “I… I don’t think I’m going to last very long.”
“How… how long do men usually last?” you ask.
Donghyuck chuckles. “It all depends, but- eating you out got me pretty worked up, and now your pussy is gripping me so fucking well-”
God, his words are sinful to a Princess like you, but they’re sinful in the best possible way, making your pussy flutter with pleasure.
You’re making this man come undone, as he’d made you cum, and that knowledge makes pride burn through you.
“Don’t try to last,” you tell him, cupping his face. “Let go.”
Donghyck stares at you for a moment before smashing his lips to yours. He grabs one of your hands and intertwines your fingers, pressing it to the pillow to use as leverage as he begins to fuck you even harder.
The whole bed is rocking by now, each powerful thrust making you mewl and whimper.
“Fuck, fuck-” Donghyuck groans, burying his face against your throat again. “Shit, I’m gonna cum-” 
You hold him tightly, stroking his hair as his thrusts falter, a deep moan escaping his lips.
You can feel the unfamiliar sensation of something filling up your core, and you wrap your legs tighter around his hips, keeping him locked inside of you as he fills you with his release.
He’s groaning and gasping in your ear and it’s one of the most erotic sounds you’ve ever heard.
You can sense when he’s come down from his high, but you continue to hold him, your chests pressed together, racing hearts beating as one.
This man is your husband, and you know he’ll take care of you. It’s a different life path laid out before you than you’d perhaps imagined when you were younger, but you know that as long as you’re with Lee Donghyuck, everything will be just fine.

so american 𓇼 ⋆.˚ op81
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
note… im sorry i know that this song is about all those london boys but my man oscar deserves some appreciation, and i think it turned out really fun, i wrote this in like a day so it’s not proofread, but i hope all my Oscar girlies enjoy. <3
warnings… mentions of alcohol if you like squint very very hard, and implications of smut.
summary… you’re all about those chick-fil-a and parties in the usa, but also all about a driver named oscar piastri who shows you that maybe australian food is better than all the taco bells in the world, you’re so very american but also so very in love.
word count… 1.5k (shortie but goodie)
You’re standing in the middle of a stage in some shady karaoke somewhere in Japan, he’s sitting right in front of you, smiling, completely mesmerized like he always seems to be when it comes to you.
“Driving on the right side road…”
“Please be careful, please.” He begs as he covers one eye, you’re obviously smiling completely amused by his freak out behavior as you pull out to the road.
You’re a new team ambassador, and have been for a few months now, the team completely thrilled to have one of the most famous singers in the world and the newest it girl of the generation wanting to spent so much time at their paddock and shooting content for them.
But of course you’ll do it if it means you get to be with Oscar.
“Will you calm down? I’ve driven before you know.” You joke, while he paces himself, you’re in some deserted roads near the McLaren headquarters, and he looks completely miserable.
“Yeah I know, but I can’t help but freak out when you’re driving on the wrong side of the road in my two hundred and forty thousand euros car.” He says, his hand grabbing the steering wheel slightly, pulling the car in to the right side of the road.
“Oh shoot, I forgot, it’s not my fault everything here is backwards Osc.” He laughs, rolling his eyes, while you bite your lip, completely ashamed and blushed too.
“Jesus, you’re so American.”
“Chick-fil-A is better than any Australian restaurant.” You say matter of factly, Oscar staring at you like you just murdered his entire family.
“No it’s not, take it bac-“
“-Is that Oscar’s sweater?” Lando interrupts him as he stares at you, more specifically at the sweater you’re wearing, one that he is certain he has seen Oscar wear at least a hundred times.
You blush as you nod. “Yeah, Osc let me borrow it back at the airport.” You explain, bitting your tongue as you beg to god that Lando believes the blatant lie you just told.
Oscar, just smiles innocently, clearly entertained by the situation, like you didn’t have to borrow the sweater in the first place because last night he gifted you hickey in your collar bone the size of Europe.
“Doesn’t she look pretty?” He asks, Lando still pretty much confused and lost of words, while you cover your blushed face with your hands.
“I’m not really understandi-“
“You have the coldest hands, it’s not even funny” you joke, while you feel his smirk right against your neck, making you giggle softly.
You’re in a cramp up supplies closet in the McLaren garage, his hands sneaking under your shirt, the coldness of them making you shiver and laugh as they unbutton your Bra.
“Well, you certainly seemed to love them last night, and this morning too.” He teased, removing your shirt completely as you pushed him slightly, pulling him back almost immediately to kiss him.
“I hate you” you managed to say in between kisses, your mind completely reduced to pout as your head is thrown back while he nips your jaw and then your neck and then-
"-Where the hell is Oscar?! Practice starts in ten minutes” the voice of one of the McLaren engineers interrupts him, your eyes shoot open, pushing him away almost immediately, because you’re not about to be caught half naked and making out by one of his engineers.
“Aaaand we’re done here” you declare. Oscar groans in frustration, his head placed in your naked chest. “Kill me now”
You pressed your lips together, knowing you won’t be able to continue your little escapade, your hands leaving soft pets all over his hair.
“You need to go babe.” You whisper, lips against his head, leaving one soft kiss there, as he hands you your shirt and bra from the concrete floor.
“I hate it here” he complains, as you put your clothes back on and he guards the door so that no one walks in to watch you naked.
“Kiss” you say, puckering your lips at him.
He smirks. “No” he jokes with a killer smile on his face but he’s already leaning in to kiss you.
“You were supposed to take that exit!” He exclaims, pointing at the exit that you just passed.
“You told me in 1.2 miles! That wasn’t 1.2 miles!” You exclaims, clearly stressed as you tries to switch lanes while Oscar covers his face with his hands, laughing. “I said kilometers baby, not miles”
“You know that I don’t do kilometers!” You protest clearly frustrated because you hate driving in highways, while he smiles at you sweetly, his feet on the dashboard and his head pressed against his hands behind his neck.
You turn around to see him, just for a second, he’s smiling brightly, like he always is, UK’s sun shining into his face, making him even more dreamy than he already is. Oscar is someone you sometimes feel like he isn’t even real, like you just made him up, an old poem you’d wish you’d wrote.
“It’s okay baby, I’ll just be late to the meeting.” He smiles, as you take the next exit, so he can drive and you can admire him a little longer.
“I might just be in love guys” you tell you’re friends, who look at you completely astonished and completely lost of words, at you and your heart eyes face.
“I mean he’s cute, but in love? Girl, is he that good? Your best friend asks, and you nod, an amusement expression setting in her face.
“I’ve never seen you like this” your other friend says, and it’s true, because no one’s ever make you feel like Oscar does.
“I mean, he’s just so charming, and pretty, and nice and a gentleman in all senses of the word, he laughs at all my jokes, buys me flowers when there’s no special occasion and even sends deliveries to my apartment with just the food I like. I mean who could I not be in love?” You try to explain yourself, as they all mock you.
“Oh yes Oscar! I’ll go to fucking Azerbaijan with you!” One of them says in a high pitched voice, the whole table laughing, making you throw your French Fries at them.
Because yes, you did ditch them for a race weekend in Baku with him, because how could you not.
“Well guys, when you guys have a handsome f1 pilot of a boyfriend you’ll understand why I’ll go anywhere he goes.” You tell them, completely defeated against their teasing. “I’m sorry if I’m being a little too much just a little too soon”
You apologize, but you’re 100% not sorry.
“About that, because I too want an f1 pilot of a boyfriend. Can you do me solid with the Charles Leclerc guy? Because man he can get it”
“Oh my god!”
“I’m telling you guys! They are totally sleeping together.” Lando tells Carlos and Charles, as the three of them share lunch, the Ferrari pair not believing a word of what he’s saying.
“Man, there’s no way Oscar scored the hottest chick in the planet” Carlos says, taking a bite of his pastrami sandwich, Lando completely frustrated at the fact that absolutely no one believes him and his theory that you and Oscar are sleeping together.
“Yeah dude, forget it, even I wanna sleep with her.” Charles adds, and Lando groans in frustration pulling his hair out and also offended for Oscar.
“You’re telling me you don’t think my boy has game?” He accused the pair, the both of them nodding like it’s the most obvious thing in the world.
“To pull that?” Charles points with his head one of your advertisement with McLaren. “Definitely not.”
He’s just won in Hungary, and it makes you feel something that you’ve never even felt before as he blows a kiss at you from the podium, your stomach fluttering like a 16-year-old kid.
You feel your heart grow with pride and love, smiling at him from the pit, champagne splashing you everywhere.
You made your relationship public just a few hours ago, a very hard launch as he posted a picture of you eating breakfast in his hotel room.
Lando wins five hundred bucks, Carlos, Charles, Lewis and two McLaren engineers lost a hundred each.
You’re ecstatic, even with the media and the gossips talking about a possible pr relationship you’re pretty much happier than ever.
And you don’t know if what you now have is forever, but something in your gut tells you it is, because he’s the most real thing you’ve ever found, not even fair or close to what your past relationships had been.
That night, you celebrated between drunken kisses and twisted sheets, and for now it’s more that enough.
But you do promise yourself that one your so american ass, will marry him.

"Are you trying to distract the curses, or me?"
The playful lilt in Gojo’s voice made the blood rush to your face before you could even turn to look at him. You had barely stepped into the training grounds when his signature white hair and too-casual stance came into view. Today, the uniform skirt you were wearing was a little shorter than usual, though not short enough to warrant his teasing.
“Excuse me?” you shot back, crossing your arms. “Why would I need to distract you when you’re already distracted all the time?”
Gojo’s grin widened behind his blindfold, and he took a deliberate step closer. His hands slid into his pockets, the picture of effortless confidence. “Oh, I’m very focused. On you, that is.”
You rolled your eyes, trying to ignore the way your stomach flipped at his words. “Don’t you have anything better to do than harass me?”
“Nope. You’re the highlight of my day, baby.”
The nickname made you falter for a split second, though you quickly covered it up by turning away and pretending to examine your nails. Don’t let him get to you, you told yourself. It’s just Gojo being Gojo.
But that was easier said than done. He had a way of getting under your skin, of making every casual interaction feel loaded with some unspoken tension. The worst part? You weren’t entirely sure he didn’t do it on purpose.
“If you’re going to stand there and flirt, the least you can do is help me set up,” you said, gesturing to the training equipment scattered around the field.
Gojo laughed, the sound warm and slightly obnoxious. “Of course, anything for you.”
Before you could blink, he was suddenly at your side, picking up a set of practice dummies as if they weighed nothing. The proximity caught you off guard, and you found yourself hyper-aware of the way his shoulder brushed against yours. Damn it, why does he smell so good?
“You’re awfully quiet,” he teased, leaning just a little too close. “Am I making you nervous?”
“In your dreams,” you shot back, shoving a dummy into his chest with more force than necessary.
Gojo caught it effortlessly, laughing again as if he enjoyed your annoyance. “I dream about you all the time, actually.”
You groaned, trying to mask the flutter in your chest. “Why do I even talk to you?”
“Because you love me,” he said matter-of-factly, his grin impossibly smug. “But don’t worry, I’ll wait for you to admit it.”
You shook your head, biting back a retort as you turned your attention to the field. His teasing was relentless, and you hated how much you secretly looked forward to it. Gojo Satoru had this annoying charm, this magnetism that made him impossible to ignore. He knew it too, and used it to his advantage every chance he got.
“Alright, focus,” you said, pointing at the dummies. “We’ve got to run these drills before the others arrive.”
“Anything for you, sweetheart,” he said with a mock salute, the smirk on his lips audible in his tone.
Ignoring the way your heart skipped at the nickname, you moved to the center of the field. As you began demonstrating the first sequence, you felt Gojo’s gaze on you, heavy and unapologetically lingering. It was like he wanted you to notice.
“Gojo, stop staring,” you snapped without looking at him, your voice sharper than you intended.
“Why? You look good,” he shot back, unbothered. “The uniform suits you. Especially the skirt.”
You froze mid-step, heat rushing to your cheeks. “Why thank you, but you’re impossible.”
“And you’re cute when you’re flustered,” he said, his tone softening slightly, almost fond.
That caught you off guard. Usually, his comments were light and playful, but this felt different, more intentional. You turned to face him, trying to gauge whether he was just messing with you again. His expression, though hidden behind the blindfold, seemed uncharacteristically sincere.
“Why do you do that?” you asked, your voice quieter now.
“Do what?” he asked, tilting his head.
“Say things like that.”
Gojo paused, and for a moment, you thought he might deflect like he always did. But then his lips curved into a smaller, softer smile.
“Because I mean it.”
The simplicity of his answer left you speechless. You searched his face for any sign of a joke, a smirk, something to suggest he wasn’t being serious. But all you found was an openness that made your chest tighten.
“...You’re so annoying,” you muttered, looking away to hide your embarrassment.
Gojo laughed, the sound lighter than usual. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”
“Don’t.”
“Too late.”
He stepped closer, his voice dropping slightly as he added, “But seriously, you look amazing today. Not just today, though. Always.”
You hated how easily his words got to you, how they made you feel warm in a way you couldn’t quite explain.
“Whatever,” you mumbled, turning back to the equipment. “Let’s just get this over with.”
“Anything you say, baby,” he replied, but there was something gentler in his tone now—something that made you think maybe, just maybe, he wasn’t entirely joking.
Tumblr media
A/N: Gojo I will always love you.

Chase After You - Part 3
masterlist! | part 1 | part 2
synopsis: after messing up the best thing that ever happened to you, you knew you would do whatever it takes to prove to vi that you believed in her, and believed in soulmates
pairings: vi x reader, lowkey Ellie x Dina
Tumblr media
The cold tiles beneath your cheek provided the only reprieve from the relentless pounding in your skull. It was the kind of migraine that felt alive, like claws scraping the inside of your head, each pulse of pain sharper than the last. You barely registered time passing. Minutes? Hours? It didn’t matter. The pain had stolen every coherent thought, leaving behind only nausea and the faintest flickers of self-loathing. 
It wasn’t just the migraine, though—it never was. The tightness in your chest, the exhaustion that weighed down your limbs, the ache behind your ribs and in your knuckles wasn’t entirely yours… it all blended together in a swirling storm of misery. This was supposed to be easier. You’d told yourself over and over that you could handle the bond, the connection, the pain. But after today, it felt like it was swallowing you whole. 
The sound of the apartment door opening and closing barely registered over the throbbing in your head. You didn’t even flinch when Caitlyn’s familiar voice called out from the other room, her words muffled by the bathroom door. 
“Y/n?” Her footsteps grew closer, concern evident in her tone. “Y/n, are you home?” 
You wanted to answer, but the effort felt monumental. Instead, a soft groan escaped your lips as you shifted slightly, pressing the cool side of your face more firmly against the floor. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to guide her to you. 
The door creaked open, and Caitlyn’s sharp intake of breath cut through the haze. “Oh, Y/n.” 
She was at your side in an instant, crouching down and gently brushing your hair back from your damp forehead. Her touch was light, careful, like she thought you might break if she pressed too hard. “Why didn’t you call me?” she asked, her voice low but firm. 
You managed to crack open one eye, though even the dim bathroom light felt like a knife slicing through your skull. “Didn’t… want to bother you,” you murmured, your voice barely audible. 
Caitlyn frowned, her brows knitting together in a way that made you feel even guiltier. “You’re not a bother, Y/n. You’re my best friend. You know that, right?” 
You closed your eyes again, not because you didn’t want to answer, but because the pain was too overwhelming. A few seconds later, you felt her slip an arm around your shoulders, helping you sit up despite your weak protests. 
“Come on,” she said gently, her voice softer now. “Up you go. You’ll feel better on the couch.” 
The movement made your stomach churn, and you clutched at Caitlyn’s arm as she guided you out of the bathroom and into the living room. By the time she eased you down onto the couch and tucked a blanket around you, your head was swimming. The nausea ebbed and flowed, but the pressure behind your eyes remained constant. 
She disappeared for a moment and returned with a damp cloth, pressing it against your forehead with a tenderness that almost made you cry. “Better?” she asked softly. 
You nodded, even though it wasn’t true. The pain was still there, a relentless reminder of everything you wanted to forget. 
“You’ve been like this since the cafe, haven’t you?” Ciatlyn asked, sitting down beside you with two painkillers and a glass of water, handing them to you for you to quickly down them with a grimace. Her voice wasn’t accusatory, but the concern in her tone made you shrink into the couch. 
“It got worse after,” you admitted, your voice barely above a whisper. “And she’s definitely feeling it too.” 
Caitlyn sighed, her hand resting lightly on your shoulder. “Y/n, you need to talk to her. Properly, I mean. You can’t keep letting it fester.” 
“I can’t,” you said, the words tumbling out before you could stop them. “I don’t know how. It’s too much, Cait. Every time I try, it just… falls apart.” 
“She’s not a mind reader,” Caitlyn replied gently. “If you don’t tell her what’s really going on, how is she supposed to understand?” 
You swallowed hard, your throat tight. “What if she doesn’t understand? What if… what if I’m not enough for you? I’m already holding her back.” 
“That’s not true, and you know it,” Caitlyn said, her tone firmer now. “You’re not holding her back, Y/n. You’re scared, but Vi isn’t your father and you aren’t your mother. She’s not going to hurt you.” 
You shook your head, tears welling up despite your best efforts to hold them back. “How do I even get her back? She probably doesn’t want to talk to me at all.”
Caitlyn turned to you with a sly grin, her eyes glinting with mischief as she stood from the couch. “I’m going to a craft store, be right back.” 
—--------------------------------
Vi’s knuckles stung as they slammed into the punching bag, over and over again, each strike more punishing than the last. The repetitive thuds echoed in the mostly empty gym, the only sound keeping her grounded. Her breathing was sharp, uneven, but she didn’t care. All she cared about was hitting something, anything, to drown out the hollow ache in her chest and the raging swirl of emotions in her head. 
The migraine that wasn’t hers had started hours ago, creeping in like a storm on the horizon. By the time it fully hit, it was unbearable. Every pulse of pain in her skull was a reminder of the bond she shared with you—of the way you felt every ache, bruise, and break of hers just as she felt yours. She hated it. Hated that it made her feel closer to you when all she wanted was to shut it out. To forget the way your voice cracked when you told her you didn’t believe in soulmates. 
She tightened the wraps on her hands, her jaw clenched, and pivoted into another strike. Sweat dropped down her face and neck, but she ignored it, channeling everything she had into the bag. Her body begged for a break, muscles trembling with exhaustion, but the storm inside her wouldn’t let her stop. 
“You think I don’t care?” she muttered under her breath, her voice breaking slightly as she jabbed the bag again. “You think I don’t feel it? Like I don’t know what it’s doing to you.” 
She swiped at her forehead with the back of her hand, exhaling shakily. You had been angry—hell, she got it. The bond was brutal, unrelenting, and no amount of love could erase the fact that it made you both vulnerable in ways neither of you had signed up for. But what gutted her the most wasn’t your anger. It was the fear she had seen in your eyes. Fear of her. Fear of the bond you shared. 
It was the same fear you’d carried with you from the day you met. She knew why. You’d told her about your parents—about how they had torn each other apart, even as their bond kept pulling them back together. How they had used it against each other, weaponized it in ways that left you terrified of following the same path. She’d told you she wasn’t like that. That she’d never do that to you. 
But yesterday, you’d looked at her like maybe you didn’t believe her anymore. 
The thought sent another surge of frustration and pain coursing through her. Her fist collided with the bag in a brutal cross, and this time, her wrist buckled slightly. She hissed in pain, stepping back to shake it off, but it only made her angrier. Her ribs ached in tandem with the pounding in her head, a dull throb that wasn’t her own. She slammed her fist into the bag again, uncaring of the sharp jolt that shot up her arm. 
“Goddamn it, Y/n,” she hissed, her voice cracking. She leaned her forehead against the bag, her chest heaving. 
Her whole life, Vi had prided herself on being tough, on enduring anything the world threw at her. She’d been knocked down more times than she could count, but she always got back up. She had to. But this? This was different. She couldn’t fight this. She couldn’t just punch her way through the way you looked at her, like you were bracing for the moment she’d hurt you. Like you didn’t trust her. 
Her head twinged again, and she closed her eyes, letting the pain wash over her. It was ironic, really—how the bond that tied her to you, that was supposed to be a gift, felt more like a curse some days. And yet, she couldn’t imagine life without it. Without you. 
The sound of approaching footsteps snapped her out of her thoughts. She didn’t have to look up to know it was Ellie. 
“Vi,” Ellie said, her voice firm but not unkind. “That bag isn’t going to hit back, you know.” 
“Good,” Vi muttered, not moving from where she leaned against the bag. “I don’t want it to.” 
Ellie sighed, crossing her arms as she stepped closer. “You’ve been at this for hours. You're going to wreck your hands if you keep this up.” 
Vi huffed, another punch echoing out. “Maybe I should, not like it matters.” 
“You’re going to wreck her hands if you keep this up,” Ellie sighed, moving into Vi’s gaze, forcing her to look at her. “What’s going on? And don’t say nothing, I was there for that argument.”
Vi let out a humorless laugh, sinking to the floor with her back against the bag. “What’s going on is that Y/n hates me. She hates this, she doesn’t even want a soulmate.” 
“She doesn’t hate you,” Ellie said, her voice steady. “She’s scared. There’s a difference.” 
“She doesn’t want this, Ellie,” Vi shot back, her voice rising. “She made that perfectly clear yesterday. I’m trying—god, I’m trying—but it’s like no matter what I do, it’s not enough. She doesn’t trust me. She doesn’t trust this.”
Ellie sat beside her, her tone softening. “You’re right—she’s scared. She’s got walls up that would make a military fort jealous. But you knew that when you chose to chase after her, didn’t you?” 
Vi exhaled sharply, running a hand through her sweat-dampened hair. “Yeah. I knew. But I thought… I don’t know. I thought I could prove to her that it could be different. That I’m different.” 
“You are different,” Ellie said firmly. “And she knows it. You just have to wait for her to come around.” 
Vi clenched her jaw, her hands curling into fists. “I don’t know if I can do it, Ellie. I don’t know if I can keep trying when all she does is push me away.” 
Ellie leaned forward, her expression serious. “If you care about her—and I know you do—you’ve got to hold it out for her. She’s hurting right now, just like you are. And she’ll fight for you if she really does care for you.” 
Vi stared at the floor, the weight of Ellie’s words settling heavily in her chest. She wanted to believe it wasn’t too late—that the two of you hadn’t already ruined everything. But the pounding in her head and the pain in her knuckles told her one thing with certainty: you still needed her. 
—-----------------------
The cold air bit at your cheeks as you stood outside the rink, your breath visible in soft puffs. Your palms were clammy despite the chill, and you fidgeted nervously with the oversized sign in your hands. You could feel the weight of every bold letter you and Caitlyn had painted last night: “If the rink is your first love, let me be your second!”
It had seemed like a good idea in the moment. Something bold, something unmistakably Vi. Something that said, loud and clear, that you were sorry, and that you’d do anything to make this right. 
but now, standing here in the bitting January cold, your stomach churned. What if she didn’t want this? What if she walked out, saw you, and just kept walking? What if she didn’t even give you a chance?
A few players trickled out of the rink, chatting and laughing as they slung their gear bags over their shoulders. The curious glances landed on you, and you could hear the murmurs as they noticed the sign. 
You wanted to melt into the concrete. But you didn’t move. 
And then you saw her. 
Vi walked out with her usual confidence, her duffel slung casually over one shoulder. Her face was flushed from practic,e and her damp hair clung to her in messy strands. She was laughing at something Ellie said, but then her eyes landed on you, and she froze. 
Her expression was unreadable. 
Ellie said something to her, nudging her shoulder, but Vi didn’t react. She just stood there, staring at you like she wasn’t sure if you were real. 
Your heart hammered in your chest, and for a moment, you thought about running. Just bolting down the street and pretending this never happened. But you couldn’t. You owed her this. 
Taking a deep breath, you stepped forward. “Vi.” 
Your voice came out shaky, but it was loud enough to carry over the murmurs of the small crowd gathering near the doors. Vi’s gaze snapped to yours, her lips parting slightly, but she didn’t say anything. 
You swallowed hard, gripping the sign tighter. “I know I screwed up. I know I hurt you. And I know this probably looks ridiculous, but I need you to hear this.”
Her brow furrowed slightly, but she didn’t move. She just stood there, her powder blue eyes locked on yours. 
You learned your throat, the words spilling out before you could lose your nerve. “You were right, Vi. About everything. I was scared, and I let that fear control me. I told myself I didn’t believe in soulmates because it was easier than admitting I was terrified—terrified of not being enough for you. Of not being able to protect you from injuries, or keep up with you. But I see it now. I feel it.” 
Your voice cracked, and you felt the burn of tears in your eyes, but you pushed through. “This bond? This thing we have? It’s not a mistake. It’s not something I get to run away from just because it scares me. It’s you, Vi. It’s always been you. And if that means I wake up sore or bruised sometimes because of this bond, then fine. I don’t care. I can afford the painkillers, and I’ll path up every single one of your bruises and cuts. Because you’re worth it. You’ve always been worth it.” 
The murmurs around you grew louder, and you could feel the eyes of her teammates on you. Your face burned with embarrassment, but it didn’t matter. Nothing mattered if this wasn’t getting across to her. 
You stepped closer, lowering the sign slightly. “I’ve spent so long trying to convince myself that I didn’t need anyone, that I wasn’t good enough for this kind of love. But being with you showed me that I’m better with you. Stronger with you. And I’ll chase after you if that’s what it takes for me to make sure you understand that I’m not running away anymore.” 
You took another shaky step forward, your voice steadying as you met her gaze. “I love you, Vi. I love everything about you—your stupid reckless grin, your ridiculous jokes, your pet names, the way you’re completely unstoppable on and off the ice. And if that means your first love will always be this rink… then fine. Let me be your second.”
The silence that followed was deafening, your heart pounding so loudly you were sure it echoed off the rink walls. Vi’s teammates were staring, Ellie included, and you wanted nothing more than to turn around to where Caitlyn was waiting by her car and hide behind her and cry. 
But then Vi moved. 
She dropped her bag with a heavy thud, closing the distance between you in three long strides. Before you could say another word, her hands cupped your face, and she kissed you.
It wasn’t soft or tentative. It was fierce and desperate, like she’d been waiting for this moment as much as you had. her lips crashed into yours, and everything else faded away—the cold, the crowd, the doubts. All that mattered was her. 
The sound of cheers and whistles broke through the haze, and you realized her teammates were clapping and shouting in celebration. Ellie yelled, “About time!” And you could hear Caitlyn’s more poised claps from behind you.
Vi pulled back just enough to rest her forehead against yours, her breath warm against your skin. Her voice was barely a whisper, but it was filled with so much emotion it made your chest ache. 
“You’re such an idiot,” she said, her voice trembling slightly. 
“I know, and I’m so, so sorry,” The tears brimming in your eyes blurred your vision as you looked up into hers, hoping that she could see even a fraction of the emotion you were trying to convey.
She laughed, wiping a stray tear from your cheek, the sound of her laugh feeling like sunlight breaking through storm clouds. “I know, I know. Don’t worry.” 
You smiled, leaning into her touch. “I really mean it, Vi. I’m all in. For you, for us, for everything.”
Her eyes brightened as she nodded, her hands still cradling your face. “I’ve been waiting for you to say that.”
“I’m sorry it took me so long,” you said, your voice soft. “But I’m here now. And I really promise I’m not going to run away again.”
Her smile widened, ands he kissed you again, slower this time, like she was savoring the moment. The cheers around you still echoed in the background, but for the first time, you didn’t care who was watching. 
When she pulled back, she grabbed you hand, lacing her fingers with yours as she turned to face her teammates. “Alright, you’ve all seen enough. Practice is at five tomorrow. Get lost.” 
Ellie rolled her eyes, grinning. “Fine, fine. but don’t expect us to stop teasing you about this for at least the next month.” 
Vi rolled her eyes and flipped Ellie off, squeezing your hand with her free hand as the crowd began to disperse. She turned back to you, her expression softening. “You really made a sign?”
You blushed, glancing down at the painted letters. “Caitlyn and I thought it was a good idea at the time.”
“It’s perfect,” she said, leaning in to kiss your temple. “I’m getting it framed.”
And as she led down the path to your cafe, her hand warm in yours, you knew you’d made the right choice. For the first time, you felt completely.
Vi was your soulmate. And you would spend the rest of your life chasing after her to prove you were hers, too.

So why not enjoy the brainrot? :D
Prompted by this amazing post by @artsarasp and @vodkassassin
TW: Old Master Place being Old Master Palace
----------------------
Yue Qingyuan was a politician true and through, capable of mediating difficult groups of egotistical individuals, his presence imposing enough to demand respect. But there was something about Huan Hua’s Old Palace Master that brought forward his street-smart instincts, a sleaziness that made his teeth ache and the hair on the back of his neck raise up. It was so bad that he had to concentrate on circulating his qi to not lose his mind. Or his patience.
Because if there was one thing that Yue Qingyuan could call himself was patient. But every man had their limits, and Yue Qingyuan was reaching his.
"Besides, you will understand with time, young Sect Leader Yue, these types of border negotiations must be dealt with utmost care. Oh back in my day when-"
And on and on the Old Palace Master went, his voice gritting on Yue Qingyan’s years.
They had been fighting over the border issue for the past five days. It was supposed to be simple, a matter to be solved between head disciples at most, nothing that a simple correction of maps wouldn't solve.
And all this due to a river Huan Hua palace had diverted themselves resulting on them pushing back their own territory. An action they have done without consulting their own maps, creating this entire situation without Cang Qiong Sect knowledge of it, only to whine and complain right after.
This was pointless. A waste of time. He could have been having tea with Xiao Jiu right now or reading the last pile of paperwork Shang-shidi had left on his table. Five days ago. Heavens, he would rather go back to the Ling Xi caves and lock himself there for a month than listen to another hour of this nonsense.
Their departure had already been rescheduled two times. It had gotten to the point which Shang Qinghua had panicked after sending the third bird, arriving at the Huan Hua Palace the day before by sword flying.
He could feel Wei Qingwei stealing glances at him on his right, eyebrows slightly raised, clenching his hands over crossed arms. On his left, Shang Qinghua wasn't fairing any better by the soft vibration coming from under the desk, leg shaking in an anxious tick.
"- And then your Shizun, young Sect Leader Yue, personally had gone there to check it! I remember as if it were yesterday! Oh how beautiful she was, your Peak colors suited her very well! And the nape of her neck, as gracious as a swan-"
Yue Qingyuan had enough.
"Stronzo, porco di merda," Yue Qingyuan let it slip through his clenched teeth, Xuan Su warming up to dangerous levels against his waist. "Testa di cazzo, figlio di puttana," he closed his eyes, doing his best to breathe through his nose, letting it go through his mouth. Even so, not even Wei Qingwei polite cough or Shang Qinghua's squeak was enough to snap him out of the pure wave of rage coming straight from his core.
He had kept himself quiet for far too long if that insolent decrepit man had the audacity to mention his Shizun as if he hadn't acted like a dog in heat every time he wormed himself close to her. Each praise felt dirty, as if the Old Palace Master were dragging tar all over his Shizun's image, perverting her beauty with a sickening smile. Yue Qingyuan could almost see the droll dripping from the scum's mouth.
"Mortacci tua!" he said with a slap on the table, shoulders hunched as he bit the inside of his cheek until he tasted blood.
"Zhangmen-shixiong-" Wei Qingwei gently took him by his arm, trying to calm him down, his qi rattling Xuan Su to the point of the sword start buzzing inside its sheath.
"What is the meaning of this?" the Old Palace Master demanded with a frown, lips pulled downwards, nasty friendly aura completely forgotten. "Explain yourself! Does Young Sect Leader Yue intent to curse this Master?!"
"Sei proprio un rattuso che dovrebbe andare a farsi nel culo," he said with a smile, ignoring how every single person in the room had their hands on their swords, or how Wei Qingwei seemed to be doing his best (and failing) at holding back his laughter.
Not only curse you, you fucking pervert but also your entire family and ancestors, piece of shi-
"Aiyaaa! Forgive us, Old Master," Shang Qinghua said as he squeezed Yue Qingyuan arm hard enough to make for him to wince. "This lord fears that Zhangmen-shixiong might be going through some type of qi deviation!" and in a proper Shang Qinghua fashion he started to whine, fat tears already gathering at the corner of his eyes. "This lord humbly requests a break so a doctor might check on Sect Leader Yue! This one has never seen him so distressed, please Old Master-"
Yue Qingyuan didn't even have time to blink before Shang Qinghua took him away from the room, screaming for a doctor, not bothering to wait for the Old Palace Master's permission to leave with Wei Qingwei hot on their heels.
"What was that?!" And he knew he had messed up if Shang Qinghua was angry enough to hiss at him. "Yue-shixiong, have you lost your mind?! What if someone could understand what you said-!"
"I did," Wei Qingwei said with a snort, patting Yue Qingyuan on the shoulder, beaming like a proud big brother. "It was amazing and well deserved. That old sac-"
"Shh!" Shang Qinghua hurried to slap both hands over Wei-shidi's mouth, trembling all over. "Have you both lost your minds?! This place ears have ears, so kindly please shut the fuck up. Both of you," and then he threw a glare at Yue Qingyuan so heated it made him turn his face away from his shidi.
"Here is what we are going to do," he said after pulling a face, cleaning his hand over his robes while Wei Qingwei gave him a smug smile. "We are going to take Yue-shixiong to the doctor, and you are going to do your best to pretend to be really sick, do you hear me, Shixiong?"
Yue Qingyuan didn't want to, it felt wrong to pretend to be weak at the heart of their allies/enemies palace, but he trusted Shang Qinghua. He could see by the glint of his eye that he had already though of plan and a contingency one in case the first failed.
"And you," Shang Qinghua turned his glare at Wei Qingwei, lips pulled in an almost snarl, squinting at Wei-shidi while pointing his finger at the swordsman. "You are going to keep your big mouth shut if you want get any closer to a certain sword, do you hear me?!"
Yue Qingyuan wasn't stupid or frigid as bad tongues might say. He knew very well what Shang-shidi was insinuating, so he did his best to stare at the ceiling, doing his best to ignore the way Wei-shidi was almost giggling at Shang Qinghua.
"Of course, shidi~"
It could have gone worse, Yue Qingyuan though to himself as Shang Qinghua dragged him all the way to the medical wing of Huan Hua Palace. It could have gone way worse. Thank Heavens he had requested Wei-shidi to accompany him instead of Xiao Jiu. That would have ended up with the Old Master Palace with a dagger on his throat for sure.
And it would be well deserved. Porco matusa.
----------------------
YQY: *can't hold together anymore* SQH: SHIXIONG NO- WQW: GO SHIXIONG!! GO APESHIT GOOO!!!
this was so SO fun ashdfuahsdufahsudf and yes I've sprinkled a little bit of 12/12 SQH over it, I couldn't help it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I Airplane this so hard I didn't check what we know about YQY's Shizun but she is a boss woman now. An awesome lady because I said so lol
Now, to the Italian part,,,, I haven't studied Italian since?? 2019?? I'm very very rusty, and these are mostly curse words but please let me know if I said something weird OTZ
Stronzo: Shit, in this case "you piece of shit"
porco di merda: porco means pig, di merda means shitty, together it becomes shitty pig or fucking pig
Testa di cazzo: dickhead :D
Figlio di puttana: son of a bitch/son of a whore
Mortacci tua: .... This is a tricky one! From my sources (aka my Italian speaking friend) it's like YQY was cursing OMP entire family, including his ancestors in a really reaaaally rude way.
Sei proprio un rattuso che dovrebbe andare a farsi nel culo: "you are a real pervert old man and you should kindly go fuck yourself" we love a really passive agressive sect leader Xiao Jiu would be proud
porco matusa: again, porco means pig, and matusa comes from Methuselah which is the oooooold dude from the bible. idk if this one is right, but I wanted to call OPM an old pig lol
I hope you guys had as much fun as I did writing this and searching for Italian cuss words :D
And Long Live Italian YQY, may he finally go off and bite many people's heads like he deserves

Use You (Loki Love Story) Ch. 1
Tumblr media
Summary: Loki shows up at your brothel with an offer. What could go wrong?
Note: Not sure how many parts this will have. while writing a one shot (in which in intended on being, my demon had other plans).
Requested song inspiration: Use Me by Johnny Blue Skies & Dove Cameron & Diplo
Requester: @bri_lostinharmony (wattpad)
Rating: R
The only sound in the room was the wood creaking under the pressure of your fingers, stabilizing yourself while your heart seemed to stop and your eyed lied to you. There was no way in Hel he was here.. your breathing seemed to stare the same pace with your heart, feeling light headed to whom stood before you with a pointed finger and a careful look in his eye.
‘’that one.’’
His tone was sharp and left no room for questions. Of course, no one would dare to question or deny him anyway, he was Loki after all, second prince of Asgard, and if he wanted something, he would get it.
‘’yes my Lord, right away- let me just clean her up for yo-‘’ your head mistress started, daring to begin standing between you and Loki before he seemed to easily wave her off.
‘’no need, she will do as is. Any necessary actions can to done by me.’’ Loki said carefully, this entire time his eyes not having left yours while your already sore legs began shaking.
How could he be here.. out of all brothels.. this was impossible! You had specifically chosen out the farthest one in the city of Asgard to avoid this damn risk. Yet you didn’t realize the one whom you would run into that you knew, was Loki. Of course, you had no special relationship with each other. You were one of his maids in the palace, paid decent and treated better. Yet.. you wished for better things for yourself, and better things meant needing more money. It was unheard of to ask for more pay, so you took on the second job- and the only job that would hire you.
It was hard at first, being treated and seen as a whore.. technically you are. But you always told yourself it was for the greater good, to reach that goal you were SO close on reaching! But that chance might have practically shattered right in front of you while the second prince of Asgard took slow steps forward, his eyes seeming to wait and expect for you to lead the way.
Was it treason? No.. but quite possibly an insult to be found out you had gotten a second job. An insult and seen as ungrateful to the palace. You didn’t expect anyone to understand.. you needed to leave here.. but would Loki do something? Would he see you as ungrateful for your place in the palace with the need to have to get a second job and choose to cast you out? you didn’t want to think about that.. for once, your body’s soreness acted like a distraction from your thoughts while you dropped your eyes and turned around.
‘He's just another client..’ you told yourself while you started up the stairs, having a strong feeling his eyes were on your ass, which somehow made the simple dress feel a whole lot thinner. The wood creaked slightly louder behind you, indicating he was much taller and heavier than you were, granted he also came in wearing his royal armor- except his helmet.
It wasn’t uncommon to hear or see royals come to the brothels, usually in groups but sometimes alone. Loki had very little stories of him appearing at one of these places- most rumors indicated he preferred bringing them back to bed them in the palace instead. Your cheeks reddened at the very thought about having to sleep with him… would it be awkward back at the palace? Would rumors start? Would this be painful? Your mind ran a hundred miles a minute, you mis stepped and began falling forward. Before embarrassment could consume you, you felt two slender hands grasp firmly at your waist to stabilize you, making you nearly yelp in surprise and straightened quickly.
The hands vanished from your body as quickly as they had appeared, you nearly missed him murmur “careful”. His voice was quiet, almost as if he were trying to keep the words a secret but there was no authority or anger in his voice. The unexpectedness of it alone nearly frightened you while you opened a door and stepped inside of the dark, empty room with him following.
‘’I am curious on why you find this extra income necessary.’’ His voice finally said, loud enough where there way no doubt you had heard him and your squeezed your eyes shut, finally landing on the topic you wished to avoid.
You knew this was probably the end. You’ve insulted the royals with your ungratefulness and felt yourself spinning around, your head low in a mid-bow with your hands clasping each other in a pleading position. ‘’I’m sorry my prince- it was never my intention to insult the royal-‘’
Loki’s raised palm made you shut up, an amused look on his face spread upon his features while you shook his head. ‘’what you do in your spare time is none of my concern love, I am merely wishing to know if you are being mistreated and try to find other means of supporting yourself.’’
You blinked at him in surprise. To be honest, if one was mistreated at the palace, a snitch was better off banished. Yet his concern was.. unexpected. Why would he care? ‘’no no.. I am treated very well at the palace your majesty.. I am merely trying to earn enough for- something..’’ you then slowed your words, unsure if you’ve shared to much or if he cared to know.
‘’well do to your pay at the palace, it would seem it is not merely the amount that is the problem, but the quickness of it. Do to the fact that we have abundance in everything, my only guess is that you wish to leave. Asgard.’’ He guessed, having made his way around the room to look around and held back his judgmental expression.
The room was dimly lit, the sunlight being toned down by the heavy curtains over the windows. The bed was simple, small and in the center of the room and that was all. thin sheets, and metal railings to make up for the headboard. You almost felt as judgy as he might have been- a royal coming to some sad shack like this. There was no way in Hel he was this horny to come down to this level.. which meant-
‘’why are you here?” you blurted out, your hands clasping over your mouth to late where he casually turned to face you while unclasping his cape from his shoulders.
‘’isn’t it obvious?” be mused, making you blush with the reminder and glanced down, not daring asking any more questions but he seemed to reach your mind anyway while he lay his cape aside at the foot of the bed.
‘’I had a day off, court had ended sooner than usual.’’
You raised a confused brow as you looked at him, hands slowly lowering back to your sides while he sat himself on the bed, clearly amused by your wonderings and lack of speech- or daring of it. Day off or not, he could have bedded anyone in the palace- willingly or not, let alone a better brothel.
‘’I followed you.’’
‘’you- ..you followed me?” you almost choked out, clearly confused and shyness consuming your body once he reached out a hand towards you. You hadn’t felt shy in such a long time, not after your new job had numbed you to the bone. Yet Loki.. Loki always tended to have that affect on you, and he knew it.
‘’come here,’’ he said gently, and you felt your feet begin to slowly move forward while your dainty hand reached out to take his, letting him pull you the rest of the way until you stood between him legs with his eyes gazing up at you. ‘’hold still.’’
Your job was to do what your client required, paid for.. frankly, he might actually get the service for free considering who he was. You didn’t dare move, not even as his hand moved to grasp your hip, keeping you still while the other moved up to lay flat against your chest. You were unsure if this was some start of foreplay, but with a sharp inhale, you noticed how he had closed his eyes with a concentrated expression. Your skin then began to feel tingly everywhere, panic threatening to make you move if you didn’t remind yourself to obey.
You decided to close your eyes, to wait to further instruction while you pondered on the strange feeling that seemed to crawl over your skin. Suddenly you noticed the soreness spread over your body seemed to be disappearing. Any gross residue or filth you took note of seemed to vanish with no lingering feeling. It’s as if you were in the bath without water, and a healing ointment you usually got when you returned to the palace- but netter.
When the strange feeling subsided, you exhaled a breath you didn’t realize you had been holding while your shoulders seemed to relax. Fluttering your eyes down, your body tensed to find Loki smirking up at you, his eyes gentle but looking smug at you relishing in his ability to clean and heal you.
‘’feeling well?”
‘’y-yes my prince.. thank you..’’
‘’my prince,’’ he echoed, amusement in his voice as his hands released you so he could lay back on the bed with his elbows propping himself up to continue looking at you. ‘’I was unaware of how possessive you could be.’’
‘’that’s not-‘’ you stopped yourself, daring not to correct the prince whom you guessed had been merely jesting and instead buried your restless fingers to play with your dress fabric at your sides. ‘’..how may I service you my prince?”
‘’I want you to go back to the palace with me.’’
Your eyes went wide as your body tensed again. You clearly didn’t intend on looking stupid at him while you stuttered out a ‘’what?-‘’ when you clearly heard him, but the amused look on his handsome face also made it hard to process things.
‘’I want you to go back to the palace, with me.’’ He said a little more slowly, as if he wasn’t clear enough while he drank in every expression he pulled out of you.
‘’..my Lord.. I.. just cant leave my seco-‘’
‘’you do not need to whore yourself to gain money more quickly Y/N, you will be paid fairly to your needs at my hand.’’
‘’at.. your hand?”
‘’you will be my personal whore, no one else’s until you see fit it is time to venture where you wish to escape too.’’ He said it so smoothly, it’s as if there was no ounce of insult in his words.
His.. personal whore? To be bedded by him and only him, no one else.. you weren’t even sure what sex was like with him in the first place- although it was granted to me much better than all the pigs combined that stumbled in here. You hoped.. but you still weren’t sure of his sudden offer..
‘’my prince i.. my job here is to service yo-‘’
‘’yes, and I wish to service you.’’ Loki said firmly, yet gentle. This brought out a puzzled look on your face which only brought out a smirk on his own while he extended a hand out to you. ‘’I have a proposal then. Let me service you, here.. right now.. if you are satisfied, you are to return with me, quit this job and receive the funds necessary back at the palace while being my one and only whore. When and wherever I want, no one else. If you are dissatisfied, I shall pay you for your time here as a regular customer, and leave you be to your second income inhabitance like I never had set eyes on you. Do we have a deal?”
You were shaking now, beyond red cheeked and mind spinning. This could very well send you much faster to leaving Asgard.. -but why you? Your eyes lift to look at him, hesitant but careful while he gazed at you with no impatience or amusement. They held nothing but.. softness.
‘’..why me? You could bed anyone yo-‘’
‘’they are not you darling.’’ he cut you off, shaking his head with a soft voice. ‘’my eyes only find you. My mind only thinks of you. My body only craves you. I often find myself purposely crossing your path with eagerness to get to see you. Court granted me a blessing today, and allowed me to follow you. Yes it may have been unwanted, but your safety was all of my concern. It indeed shocked me to find out where you passed your time.’’ He almost tsked you, yet you found no judgement on his face while your eyes fluttered down to his offered hand.
‘’dare I ask again darling, it is all your decision.’’
Your teeth captured your bottom lip, finding truly no downside to any of this yet your mind reminded you of what he was. A trickster.
Yet you took his hand anyway.

DeadTired Draft
"You're very good at pretending to be a shadow."
Tim's voice shook Danny from his quiet note taking and he looked up at his study partner with furrowed brows and confusion on his face. "I'm sorry?" It was as much a question as it was an apology which meant it was neither really.
Electric blue eyes pinned him in place, and Tim looked at Danny as if he had just said the sky was green. "If I had not been partnered with you in our ecology class I wouldn't know you exist. No one at this school knows you exist besides the staff and even then you're a name to a face to a grade. Nothing else. You're very good at pretending to be a shadow, a bodiless thing gliding along the edges of society."
Danny bit his lip slightly, mulling these words over. Tim was right of course, he never allowed himself to make waves, he stuck to the background of any place he was in, and really he was surprised that he wasn't more noticeable with how often Tim Drake-Wayne was his study partner. "I guess...I've never really like attention anyway. Why, you stalking me, Drake?" He raised a brow at the other boy, attempting to hide his confusion behind snark. He hardly ever used Tim's last name, either of them, but this seemed like an appropriate time to do so.
"Hiding something, Nightingale?" Tim snarked back but there was a bit of genuine questioning under his tone that had Danny tensing up in his sit, gripping his pencil a little too tightly in his left hand. "I can only contact you through your student email, you don't have a phone number or a phone period as far as I can tell, you have a laptop that barely works and seemingly requires a blood sacrifice to do the most basic of tasks. You live on campus but you never let me see your dorm, you never agree to meet me anywhere but the library on campus and I just-" He lets out a heavy sigh and runs his hands through his hair and suddenly Danny is a lot less tense in his seat. When Tim's eyes settle on him again there's genuine concern there and it breaks his heart. "I am worried. Daniel Nightingale doesn't exist outside of this college and it makes me think you're running from something or someone. If that isn't the cause then by all means please tell me I'm overstepping but Danny..." Tim reaches across the table that separates them and grabs at his free hand. "If you need help I'm here, ok?"
And oh...oh Danny's core positively sings in his chest at the admission. Protection was a major obsession for Danny and the way Tim talked, the way he explained his thought process, it made Danny feel warm and fuzzy inside despite the permanent chill in his body. Tim wanted to protect him and wasn't that so sweet? "I-" Danny stuttered before a sad smile was spreading across his lips and he gave the boy's hand a gentle squeeze. "I appreciate that but unless you have a way to somehow get an entire government organization disbanded and legislature revoked then I'm afraid this is out of your ballpark."
And really, Danny should've known better than to open his fat mouth. He should've known that the Fenton luck would bite him in the ass with his first real friend since Sam and Tucker. Tim may have dropped the conversation after that but by no means had he dropped the topic entirely. No instead apparently he had somehow gotten into contact with the Justice League because less than two weeks later Batman, Red Robin, Superman, and John Constantine of all people were waiting for him inside his dorm when he got back from a late night of studying.
What.
The.
Fuck.

a/n: hey everyone<33 To write this fic brought me some comfort too, and it's healing me a bit more everytime i can use my own experiences,emotions and thoughts to write something that comforts others too, and relate to y/n a lot. And i know i'm not the only one, so i hope this can bring everyone that reads it a bit comfort. And pls always remember what of a beautiful person you are. Hurting yourself is never ever the only solution. If you need someone to talk, reach out to someone, anyone, also me if you don't have anyone. I'd rather have literally any person cry for hours in my arms, or vent to me in my dm's than have them hurt their own bodies, that always supports them. Everything felix says in that fic is true, and they r my own thoughts about this. I love you all, take care of yourselves.<3
Depression takes a lot from you. It takes your motivation, productivity, the will to socialize, and your happiness. It’s unfair isn’t it? Little, happy children become tired, broken adults.
People always think depression is something where you sit in your bed the whole day and cry. Well that is half true. Yes, there are days like that, but that’s far not everything. The worst are those dull days, when you feel entirely numb, but your life has to go on anyways. No joy in your heart, and no tears in your eyes. Just a big nothing in your mind.
After a while you figure it out though. It’s always those numb episodes, until every emotion you thought didn’t exist the days before, crashes down on you. And it’s overwhelming. Every.single.time.
But what if you’d find something that could ‚help‘ you? Something that brought you pain and relief at the same time? That made you feel alive, in the numb episodes and distracted you from the pain in the days where you broke down? The price was just your beautiful skin, and blood...
A problem was though, once you’d start, it would be very hard to stop again. But why should you anyways? Why should you stop when it was the only thing seemingly bringing you comfort for some short time?
It started off by you, picking at your skin absimendtly whenever you felt anxious, or when you just didn’t pay attention. It felt relieving. It was the burning pain when you scatched on your skin so hard it was slightly bloody, making you feel like your feelings actually mattered. And then that one night. That night everything crashed down on you. Your friends wanted nothing to do with you anymore, the few you had before, cut contact. You couldn’t even be mad at them. Who wouldn’t be annoyed by someone who constantly cancelled plans, and gave off a „depressing, annoying attitude“? Well these were their words. Oh but you saw it coming. All the overthinking in the middle of the night, those worst case scenarios, they had come true.
And your family? You never had a healthy relationship with them. So now, that you were grown up, the contact was almost entirely dead. And yeah, there was your boyfriend felix, but you’d never burden him with your problems. He already had enough on his mind with the world tour and all the new released albums, of the band he was in.
And that was it. No one there that you could reach out to, no one to comfort you, when your heart and mind were breaking into millions of glass splitters. Every person reaches their breaking point someday. And that day was yours. You remembered the night clearly. You were sitting on the bathroom floor, crying out all the emotion you had been holding in for too long. You had no friends anymore. No family. And pretty sure soon no boyfriend too. Nothing to hold onto.
Then you reached out to a drawer. You didn’t really register what you were doing as you took it out. A simple, silver blade. A little cut on your wrist. A line of crimson red blood on your skin.
At first you were terrified. What had you done? Why weren’t you affected by the stinging pain on your wrist, and the blood building in the small cut? Why did it in fact feel good? And then you decided to try it again, just to answer those questions right?
That’s where it started.
You knew you had depression. But going to a therapist? You were scared, probably too lazy, and you could never tell all your problems to a complete stranger. And most of all you didn’t want felix to worry either. He was the only one left, and soon he would surely leave too. He was the sweetest, sunny person on this earth, he deserved someone that matched his energy, and wasn’t so… hard to love.
Every single task felt like a hard, impossible chore. Getting out of your bed felt like doing the unbelievable. Doing the most simple things like showering, or brushing your teeth seemed so far away, that you could only master them on your best days. Some days, you went to work, did everything you had to, with a straight, stoic face. That was until you came home, laid into your bed, and silent tears would build wet spots on your pillow.
But somedays, even crying seemed too overwhelming. All you could do was lay in your dark room, staring at the wall. It was just the darkness and you, and somewhere in your mind, a voice whispering that it would help to cut...
And then there were these rare days, on which you felt almost too overwhelmed. It were those days you came home, and added another scar to the gallery of them on your arms. You questioned your life on these days. Because truly, you didn’t see a reason why you should be here right now. No, you weren’t proud of it. But who was there to stop you? Why should you quit if it was the only thing keeping you sane right now? When it was only the stinging pain who could make you slip out of the monotone haze in your mind, for at least a little bit time.
But it would be stupid to assume felix didn’t notice something was off. Lee felix was a pure person. Someone who could make even the rainiest days shine bright. And he cared about the people he loved more than anything else.
When you started cancelling plans it was already alarming for him. You were someone who never cancelled plans with him. You were usually a happy person, someone who made jokes that were actually funny. Someone who made him laugh with your little quirks, that he noticed over time. Someone who comforted him when he felt bad. And most of all you were the most excited person when you two would meet up. You never missed to tell him how much you loved him, that he was your happy person, and your comfort person.
That was before
Before suddenly everything stopped. He rarely got to see your beautiful face now anymore. You took a long time to respond to his texts, and when you did, they were short, and dry. This didn’t feel like you. Felix knew you. And that wasn’t you. This wasn’t the happy girl he met. And he surely wasn’t planning on letting things go like this forever. Something wasn’t right. And no matter what you said or did, to try and get away from him, and shut everything out, he would stay by your side. He would find out what was wrong and do everything possible in this world to make you feel like yourself again.
It was another day today. Another number on the calendar. You stopped looking at it. It didn’t matter anyways. Those were just numbers on paper, and they would never change anything. So you dragged yourself out of bed, feeling even heavier than usual. Like a zombie you just quickly got dressed, not even registering what you were wearing, and drank a mug of coffee. It would make you feel a bit more awake for at least a few hours. Eating breakfast had become impossible in the last few weeks. You were barely eating anything the whole day, to be honest. Sometimes, you just couldn’t stand up and make yourself something. But most times, you just didn’t feel hungry.
You went your usual way to work. At the bus, you took a short glance at your phone. You used to be on your phone a lot for the silliest things, but now you hated it. You hated the brightness, and that everytime you looked at it you had to interact with others. And the worst was, it remdinded you of what you had lost. The spark you had in your eyes on photos from a long time ago.
Something popped up on the screen
A message from felix. Of course. He messaged you every single day. You couldn’t ignore him, no matter how shitty felt, you couldn’t bring yourself to ignore him. So you opened it.
Hey sunshine<3How are you today? I thought of maybe grabbing some takeout and watching a movie together tonight, since i have off early! I’ll even let you pick one of those cheesy romcoms you love so much. Love u^^
You sighed. He was still so sweet, so caring, when he should be really annoyed, right? His girlfriend was a walking zombie, why didn’t he already break up with you?
Hey lix, sorry no time today.
Then you quickly put your phone away. You couldn’t stand thinking of his lips turning into that sad pout, when he’d read your answer. But you couldn’t meet him. You didn’t care how stubborn that was, but you wouldn’t let him see you like this. He would see right through you, and get you to tell him what was wrong.
You stopped making excuses someday. Who even cared? Sooner or later he’d leave, just like your friends. No lame excuses would matter then. Someone like you was unlovable. And that would never change.
As felix read your response he sighed.
That was enough. He wouldn’t let your relationship carry on like that. He wouldn’t let you carry on like that. Something was clearly wrong and he wouldn’t stand so far away and watch you slowly shut down from the entire world. Not anymore. Tonight he would come to your apartment, if you wanted to or not.
You didn’t remember what you did throughout the day. When you tried to recall it, there were only hazy memories, covered in a grey, thick fog. You didn’t even remember how you came home. Everything just happened. Now, you were walking through your apartment door, kicking off your shoes and coat. With a deep sigh, you dragged yourself to the bathroom. You shut the door, immediately sinking down on the floor. You were exhausted. More than that. The past days, or maybe even weeks you had held everything in more than usual. You felt like passing out right then and there, on the cold bathroom tiles. But there was something else. You knew that feeling. When you would have spent too many days in numbness, then at one point, every emotion, everything you thought wasn’t there before, creeps up in your throat from the depths of your soul. You feel the grieve, the sadness, the anger, the guilt, every single emotion crashing down on you at once. And then you can’t stop it anymore.
Tears started to well up in your eyes, and you pulled your knees up for a bit comfort.
These were the moment you hated the most, besides the numbness. Being numb is uneblievably tiring, but when all the feelings, everything comes up at once, that is even worse. You never knew how to deal with your emotions well. When you were a kid you never got the chance to express emotions. Crying was not allowed. If you did, you’d hear „ Stop it, or i’ll give you a reason to cry.“ If you screamed or hit out of anger you’d get punished in some way. Only a polite smile was, what was allowed to show on the outside, what to show to other people. That was probably part of the reason why you’d grown into a person who had these unhealthy, shitty habits, instead of expressing and coping with their emotions well.
You knew you should just let it pass. Endure these feelings. Maybe text someone to try and distract yourself. But somehow, you always went back to drowning out emotions with physical pain. You took the sharp blade from the bathroom drawer, your hands going unbelievable shaky like they always did when you took it out. You only started to cry more. You hated that you did it. You hated that you were a person that couldn’t handle their own feelings like a responsible adult, and had to shut them out with self harming instead. And still you did it again and again. You hated the way your arm looked when you put your sleeve up now. White lines from old cvts. Slightly reddish ones from some that happened some time ago. And those brightred ones. Reminders of not too long ago. They made you so angry. Reminding you of who you were. Of what you were.
So you decided to look away. You just put the blade to your wrist, looking at the blank bathroom wall. It was already so familiar, you knew where it would hurt the most without even looking.
Felix was searching around his apartment for that gray hoodie you wanted to have everytime you saw him wearing it. Maybe it would cheer you a bit up. As he finally found it, he grabbed the brownies he had made for you earlier, and his keys, heading out his apartment, to head to yours instead.
He started his car. It was a short drive so there was not much time for thinking. But there were some thoughts in the back of his head. Wasn’t he overstepping? You clearly didn’t want to see him, maybe you were also just annoyed?
But felix shook those voices off. He knew you. He had known you for years, and this wasn’t you. He had to do this.
And then he was already at your apartment. Slowly he got out of the car, taking the things, and started to walk up the stairs.
Soon he was in front of your door. Should he knock? He knew where your spare key was but he didn’t want to be respectless. So he softly knocked on the door.
„Y/n? It’s me, felix. I know you didn’t want to meet, but… i was worried. Can we talk please, my love?“
He waited for a minute. But there was no answer. Maybe you really weren’t at home? He decided to just try it. To his surprises the door was unlocked. That meant you were home, but also why would you let your door stay unlocked? He sighed, and locked it from the inside. He quietly took off his shoes, and put them on the side. Yours were scattered messily on the floor, and your coat too. Usually you hated when something in your apartment wasn’t organized. Maybe you were in a hurry before. He went into the kitchen, wich was dark, putting the brownies on the counter. „Y/n?“ he softly called out again. Still no answer.
But there, suddenly he heard something. A quiet, mumbling or...crying? His brows furrowed and he tried to follow the sound. There. In the bathroom. It seemed like you didn’t hear him calling you. At first he considered just going back to your kitchen and waiting there for you to come out, but when he heard another deep sob from you, he knew what to do. Whatever was going on right now, he wanted to be by your side. So he took a deep breath and opened the door.
„Y/N, what is g-“ His eyes widened in shock, and your head perked up immediately at the door clicking open, your gaze changing from surprise, to confusion, to somewhat realization and guilt. The sight in front of him horrified him. His beautiful, lovely girlfriend sat on the bathroom floor, her face red and puffy from crying, and a sharp blade in her hand. And your arm… How couldn’t he notice? He just stood there, in the door, staring at you.
You couldn’t read his face. Was he mad…? Of course he’d be mad. You quickly reacted as you got to your senses again. You jumped up, letting the blade fall, and a drop of blood dropping down on your white bathroom tiles.
„Felix…. I can explain, i h-haven’t, it’s not what it looks like o-okay? I’m okay, p-please i know you’re mad but-“
You got cut off. You couldnt’t even say anything more, because suddenly you were wrapped up tightly in your boyfriend’s comforting, warm embrace. You forgot how good a hug from him felt… And when you got a little glance at his face that was it. No anger, no twisted kind of any emotion against you. There was pure sympathy and love. When you also saw a tear rolling down his face, you couldn’t take it anymore. You buried your face in his neck, and let go. You sobbed uncontrollably, your arms and legs trembling so much, to the point your knees gave in, and felix slowly sank to the ground with you. Why did the cvts on your arms suddenly really hurt for the first time? He had you pulled on his lap, rocking you back and forth, stroking your hair gently. „Shhh, it’ll be alright. I’m here now, you are not alone.“
Good thirty minutes later, your sobbing had stopped, and only warm paths of tears remained on your cheeks. Felix lifted your head from his neck a bit, so he could look into your eyes. Though you had just cried your heart out, it was still the most mesmerizing pair of eyes he had seen in his life. He gently tucked a strand of hair behind your ear.
„Let me treat those, okay?“ He simply said, glancing at your cuts.
He was gentle. He desinfected every single cut, apologizing every time you hissed at the sharp pain. Then he put some healing ointment on your fresh ones, and some at your older ones too. Then, with gentle, calm hands he bandaged your arms. He ended his treament with featherlight kisses on them. Then he got up, helping you up too. He had his hands on your side, his eyes on your face.
„Love…I won’t ever judge you, or get mad at you for anything, i hope you know that okay? I know that this is probably your way to cope with things, and i know that you know it’s not healthy. But it’s okay. Please just promise me, you will come to me instead of doing that, from now on hm? Everytime you want to do it you call me, text me, whatever. I’d rather have you crying in my arms for hours, venting to me for hours, you screaming at me, or do whatever you need to, than have you hurt and bleeding entirely alone on the floor. I’ll come over, and do whatever i need to, to cheer you up alright? And don’t shut me out from your life. I want to be a part again. I miss the way you’d text me when you see something that makes you smile. Or when you send me pics of the cute cats you saw on the sidewalk. Or when you just simply tell me about your day. And most important of all, i’ll stay by your side okay? No matter what. I will do everything to help you recover, and build up your life in a way that makes you happy okay? Let me help you sunshine. You don’t need to do it all alone.No matter how hard it in the past was, I’m here now, and I don’t plan on leaving soon.“
Tears welled up in your eyes again, but this time you smiled at him. „Okay lixie. Okay. I’ll try.“
Then he softly smiled at you, and guided you to your livingroom, where he made you sit on the couch. He rushed off to the kitchen, and was soon back again with a plate of brownies and his gray hoodie. „It seems like you didn’t eat much lately, you’ve been getting a bit too skinny, love. But don’t worry, now i’m here to feed you with everything you want to eat. You don’t need to move a single finger.“ He mumbled, as he first handed you the hoodie, wich you put on immediately and snuggled into it. It had always been your comfort hoodie, since it was big, fluffy, and always smelled like him a lot. Then he put down the plate in front of you. Felix’ brownies had always been one of your favorite things. They were delicious like no one else’s.Everytime you asked him what he was throwing in there, he always told you that it was his love and care wich he made them with. You believed him, this man made everything better with his sunny personality.
You simply smiled at him, and took one of the brownies, taking a big bite
„That’s my girl.“ He chuckled, ruffling your hair. As you were munching, and he was watching you with a fond smile, he suddenly asked „Do you have a marker somewhere here?“ You looked up, raising a brow. „Yeah, in the drawer over there i guess, why?“ He just stood up, and opened said drawer, taking the marker. He was back by your side in an instant. „Please give me one arm love“ He said, politely like always. You were still pretty confused but how could you say no to that? So you slowly laid your bandaged arm in his hands. He kissed it once and then softly started to draw on it. „What are you doing?“ you asked, mouth full of brownie.
„Those my love, are battle scars. It isn’t beautiful how you got them, but they are a part of you now, and they make you the person you are. They deserve to be called beautiful now too, like every single body part of yours. I love every part of you. And when they are healed, I’ll kiss each and everyone of them, but for now, they deserve to be treated with care. They will only heal properly, if you let them. If you’d always be angry when you’d look at them, they would never really heal. You would never really heal. You need to forgive yourself, and someday you will be able to move on. They show how far you’ve come, that it was very hard, but you never gave up. Battle scars, my love.“
You looked into his eyes. He said all that so sincere, you believed every word. And then as he was done you saw what he did. A lot of little stars, and a pretty moon in the middle were drawn on the bandages. And next to the moon he wrote a little note
„Because i want you to never forget who you are. You are Y/n L/n, a fighter, and the most beautiful woman i know.“
„How did i deserve you lee felix?“ You murmured in awe.
„You deserve the world, and more my love.“
And that really was a turning point. Thanks to felix, your days weren’t dull anymore. He was always there with you, laughing and talking a lot, but he also respected when you wanted some alone time. And when you came to him somedays, crying and telling him that you wanted to do it again, he took you in his arms, wrapped you both into a blanket and rocked you back and forth, until no tears were left anymore, and the world seemed a bit brighter again. Then he mumbled soothing reassurances into your hair, kissing you on the forehead.
And like this, you were willing to try. You were willing to try and recover, and create a life that you loved living, with him in it.
a/n: now a note to: @athenawindwolf because I didn't have the courage to say it that night ( we ignore that i'm writing this while you are texting me,still in that night), i'll be your chan friend, and in the context of this fanfic your felix friend, whenever you need me.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
➤ Stay. The stranger seems friendly, and Tango could use a friend right now.
Tango never does stand up from the bed, though he’d sat up with that in mind. He slouches and sinks slightly into the mattress, taking another dry breath and clutching at the edge of the bed beneath his fingers. His toes curl against the rug inside their HASA-issued socks, and he just breathes.
The stranger seemed kind enough before. It would be worth asking for his help to find the remains of Tango’s ship. And beyond that, after how long he’d been stuck up on that deadly rock in the sky, Tango can’t deny he’s craving some friendly company right now.
There are footsteps outside and the door opens again before Tango can fully register them, though his reaction is far less extreme than it had been the first time. He flinches slightly and his focus snaps to the door, where the blond stranger from before is peeking cautiously into the room at him. The man smiles awkwardly and, when Tango manages a tight smile in return, he finally opens the door fully and crosses the threshold.
He isn’t human. Not that Tango isn’t used to inhuman players - pot, kettle - but the massive golden-feathered wings at the stranger’s back catch his attention straight away. They hadn’t been visible from behind the door. They’re the color of sunshine and larger than those of the avians Tango is used to. He must have been staring too long, because the stranger’s wings ruffle and he chuckles, drawing Tango’s eyes back to his face.
“Hope you don’t have a thing against avians,” the guy says brightly, a tad sheepishly, as he approaches the bed and carefully sets the pitcher of water he’d been carrying on the cluttered sidetable. He holds an already-filled glass out to Tango, who takes it with shaking hands. Tango brings it to his lips without hesitation, the blessed feeling of cool water down his throat a voiddamn relief after the sandpaper sensation he’d been dealing with until now.
It’s only afterward that he thinks he probably should have checked to see if it was poisoned or something…but frankly, if the guy had wanted him dead, he would’ve done it long before now.
“Nah, nothin’ against avians,” Tango denies with a quirked smile, his speech not nearly as taxing as it had been before. “I’ve got a couple o’ bird-brained friends back on–” His breath catches and his smile wavers, and against his better judgment he clears his hoarse throat.
Back on a planet that no longer exists. Tango swallows thickly and brings the glass to his lips again, avoiding the stanger’s curious eyes.
“Back home?” the guy guesses, his voice sounding warm and intrigued alongside the dull dispondance churning in Tango’s chest. Tango’s heart squeezes, and he hums noncommittally. He doesn’t need to talk about it with a complete stranger, no matter how kind. Not right now.
Tango takes another slow sip and avoids the guy’s gaze, feeling the bubble of awkwardness build in the silence. Until his host decides to pop it.
“Er - I’m Jimmy, by the way,” he says, just as brightly as everything else he’s said so far. “Sheriff of Tumble Town.”
He holds out a hand to shake, and Tango squints at him, one of his ears flicking. Sheriff, huh? The guy certainly looks the part, with his cowboy boots and large-buckled belt and the trademark brown leather vest. The gold star-shaped badge on his chest glints slightly in the morning light. Tango hesitates before offering his own hand to shake in return. The Sheriff’s hand is slightly calloused, like he’s a man used to manual labor, but not so dry that he spends most of his time that way. Interesting.
“Uh - Tango,” he mutters. “Of the Tek variety.” Something alights behind the guy’s - Jimmy’s - eyes, something like recognition or intrigue, but it’s stifled almost as quickly as it comes. Tango does his best to turn the analytical part of his brain elsewhere. There’s no reason to be so suspicious of his host…yet. He withdraws his hand and fiddles with the water glass he’s still holding. “...Tumble Town?” he asks instead.
Jimmy’s expression brightens tenfold and he smacks his own forehead lightly.
“Right! O’ course! You’re not from around here, you wouldn’t know–” He chuckles sheepishly and his wings puff up slightly, rustling at his back. The feathers around his ears (have those always been there?) flare, and he grins. “You’re in Tumble Town right now. ‘S my Empire! Town. My town.” He rocks back on his heels and steps back from the bed a bit, casting a glance out the nearby window. Tango’s eyes flick in the same direction, curious. “We’re in the mesa right now,” Jimmy carries on. “S’ppose that’s a good place for a netherborn, eh?”
Tango knows he really doesn’t feel up to standing right now. Despite his earlier temptation to just flee the scene and find his ship, he probably wouldn’t have made it far in his current state, not without help. But he’s curious. Sue him. He sets the half-empty glass of water on the table beside the bed and he eases himself to his feet, wincing at the way his left ankle protests having weight put on it. The Sheriff looks concerned. Tango, to his credit, does fairly well for the first few steps.
It’s the fifth one that does him in.
His ankle buckles just enough to send him off kilter, and it’s only thanks to the Sheriff that he doesn’t go down completely. Jimmy’s quick, catching him by the elbows with a startled chirp and letting Tango cling to his arms in a desperate attempt to keep himself upright.
“Oh my gosh–” Jimmy’s wings have flared out for balance and he tugs Tango toward him, looping one of Tango’s arms over his shoulders to better support his weight. “Geez buddy, you alright?”
“Ngh–” Tango lets out a pained, wheezing little sound of frustration in response, his hand shaking slightly where he’s clutching the Sheriff’s shoulder. His ankle is throbbing now where it hadn’t been before, agitated from his stupid attempt at mobility before he was ready. Idiot.
“Mate…?”
“Fine,” Tango grumbles, his ears pressed back against his hair. He holds his left foot gingerly just above the ground, splitting his balance between his host and his uninjured leg. Void. Okay. Don’t do that again. Noted. His tail darts out behind him to help keep him stable.
“I wanna see outside,” he says, his voice slightly raspy, and Jimmy makes a quiet sound that Tango can’t identify.
“You sure you don’t wanna sit down–?”
“In a minute,” Tango huffs. He doesn’t know where he is, hasn’t seen anything beyond this room since his ship crashed. He needs to know. Needs to get his bearings in a foreign world. A smokey wheeze whisps from the back of his throat. “Please. Just - wanna see.”
The Sheriff seems to think about his request for a moment, but eventually he seems to acquiesce, sighing softly as he folds his golden wings neatly against his back. He takes it slow, helping Tango to the window and keeping him upright all the while.
Jimmy wasn’t lying. The sight outside the window is as sandy as Tango expected it to be, the world seeped in a dusty red-brown that screams mesa more than anything else could. They’re enclosed in a bowl of red rocky cliffs, wooden structures built into the walls of the canyon and scattered across the flat ground at the bottom of the basin, buildings pulled straight out of an old western movie. There’s a barn in the distance, and pens for animals, and fenced-in crop gardens - and a tunnel, a tunnel cut right through the cliff wall with a train track leading off to who-know-where. Out of town, Tango supposes, though he doesn’t know for sure.
Tango lets out a breath, taking it all in. Suddenly Jimmy being a Sheriff feels extremely fitting for the place he’s found himself in.
“Glad I crashed here,” he finds himself saying, the smallest hint of amusement and gratitude lacing his words. “I don’t wanna know what woulda happened if I’d gone down in an icy tundra or something. Me an’ cold don’t exactly get along.”
Something about that sentence tickles his brain the wrong way, like he has been on friendly terms with the cold before. A mental image dances across his mind of freezing caves and an icy castle, blue soul flames dancing out of the corner of his eye - but it’s gone between one blink and the next.
“I can’t imagine why,” Jimmy says lightly, jokingly. It’s an awkward thing, like he’s trying to test the waters. His wings shuffle and fidget at his back, tickling Tango’s arm. He coughs. “Er - right! Well. Let’s get you off your feet, eh? I think I’ve still got a healing potion ‘round here if you want one. We only did topical stuff last night. Didn’t exactly wanna go force-feeding you potions when you weren’t even awake, did we?”
Tango blinks, turning his attention to his host.
“We?”
“Me an’ Shelby!” Jimmy says, brighter this time. He’s already easing Tango back toward the bed as he talks. “She’s our local witch. She’s great with potions, as long as she’s not in a creative mood. Gettin’ better at it though! I called ‘er over last night when you fell out of the sky. I didn’t have anything left to help you, mind, so I’m just glad she was still awake.”
Tango settles back on the edge of the bed with a relieved sigh as Jimmy starts clinking through the bottles cluttering the bedside table, eyeing their colors in the light from the window. He hands a rich red one over to him with a smile, looking a little victorious at his discovery.
(Tango’s not dumb enough to blindly drink whatever some random stranger has given him in an unlabelled bottle, but it sure smells like spiced melons when he pulls out the stopper. It’s familiar enough for him to sip at it cautiously, and when the familiar taste of a healing potion touches his tongue, the relief he gets from it is palpable. His ankle is already starting to hurt a little bit less when he finally caves and starts to down the potion properly.)
“I’ll fix up some food for you, if ya like,” Jimmy is saying now, and Tango is so fuzzed by the warm comfort of the potion’s healing properties that he only now notices that his host is already at the door to leave. “D’you like eggs an’ bacon? It shouldn’t take long to make, if that sounds alright.”
Tango’s nodding before he can really stop himself - but then he pauses.
He’s going to be left alone in this room again. It isn’t that big of a deal - he knows he needs the rest - but he’s feeling antsy. He’s feeling claustrophobic, the window doing little to help with that. He wants to get out, even if it’s just for a little while.
A part of him is itching to get back to his ship. The food Jimmy is offering is so tempting - he hasn’t eaten real food since his ship left Hermitcraft for its lunar mission - but he’s starting to get impatient. He doesn’t know if his friends - his family - are even–
He needs to know. Needs to find a way to contact them. His ship might be in ruins, but it might not…and the Schrödinger status of his spacecraft is making his brain itch. Alone he wouldn’t have been able to make the trip, but with Jimmy’s help he could.
Food does sound good though, and if Tango wanted to leave the room and eat downstairs instead of in bed, surely Jimmy wouldn’t mind…
Tango sets the empty potion bottle aside just as Jimmy opens the door to leave. He clears his throat, his hair sparking, and he opens his mouth to speak.
[A/N: I've officially moved into my new place and gotten through the holidays! My writer brain is FINALLY working again, which I'm very excited for! Sorry for the long wait, but welcome back to the adventure! Tango's going through it a bit, isn't he? Poor guy. Don't worry, Jimmy's here for him, even if he's a "stranger" right now.]

Five Times Aristocrats Shared a Bed and One Time They Didn’t*
(*where “they” have delusions of grandeur)
1.
“If it is your preference, I shall give you your privacy and I will seek your permission before entering your chamber,” Fitzwilliam said stiffly, reminding Elizabeth so much of the aloof stranger she’d first seen at a Meryton dance that she could not keep from laughing.
“Madam?” he asked, taken aback.
She had learnt him well enough to wait to speak until she’d laid her hand upon his chest, where he could not fail to see his ring upon her finger.
“I’ve never slept alone in my life and I shouldn’t like to start now,” she said. “I warn you and Jane will confirm it, my feet get cold but I despise bed-socks.”
“It will be my pleasure to keep you warm, Elizabeth,” he said.
2.
“I’ve made sure your suite was entirely redecorated, all in the loveliest shades of green and indigo, and I spoke with your housekeeper, to ensure your mattress here is just as you like it,” Emma said.
George raised an eyebrow in inquiry. It was quite the most devilish expression and she wished she were capable of matching it.
“You have already undertaken so much, leaving Donwell Abbey and coming to live at Hartfield, you deserved to have a place of your own, a retreat when you cannot bear another second of Papa’s exhortations about the risk of cold lettuce on a young man’s chest or my silly prattling,” she explained.
“Mrs. Knightley, what I cannot bear is to be apart from you at night,” he said, moving closer as he spoke. “To wake without you in my arms.”
“Well, you needn’t,” she said, while she could. 
She was not sorry when she couldn’t. Not one bit.
3.
“If you’d like, my dear, I’ll sleep in my dressing room,” Charles said. “I know aristocrats don’t share a bed. My parents did but of course, Father was in trade, for all that Caroline wants to pretend we’re the obscure cadet branch of some viscount from the North. I asked Darcy and he turned rather puce but he did say it was so—”
“We’re not aristocrats, Charles,” Jane replied.
“You’re a gentleman’s daughter, Jane, a lady to the very tips of your toes,” Charles replied.
“Whoever the Bingleys are, we’re only Charles and Jane here,” she said. “And whatever you consider the tips of my toes, I’m your wife first and last.”
“You’ll send me to my dressing room if I snore, though. You must promise me that, you’re too good a creature to complain about anything but I shan’t have you exhausted,” Charles said.
“If you snore, I promise, I’ll wake you,” Jane said.
She’d learnt quite quickly how her husband took his tea and how to lie to him.
4.
“When we choose an estate, I’ll make sure there’s a separate chamber for you, sweetheart,” Frederick said softly. “You’ll want that after being crammed into this crowded little cabin—”
“It’s snug,” Anne said, turning slightly so she might see his dear face better. The moonlight from the porthole took him from the epitome of a British sea-captain and changed him into a figure of romance or myth, a god all silver and shadow. “I shouldn’t like anything better than this, this perfect refuge that’s ours alone and the sound of the waves.”
“We’ll choose a place by the sea,” he said. “A house with a view, plenty of space, light and airy.”
“But I don’t care to sleep apart, no matter had bad Ton it is,” she said. “We were apart long enough.”
5.
“Don’t say we must be stuffy aristocrats about it and sleep in separate rooms and you’re to knock at my door and wait there in a banyan and slippers for me to bid you enter,” Marianne said in a rush, exhilarated by the fresh air, the vista before them, Colonel Brandon’s arm around her waist. He did not yet believe she was steady on her feet after her illness and she could not convince him otherwise, had she been inclined to try. “There is nothing romantic about that, nothing ravishing—”
“There will be ravishing, my dear,” he replied. “In one room, one bed, if that’s what you want.”
“I quite fancy the contrast, how splendidly massive Delaford is and then to imagine the two of us tucked away, almost in a garret,” she said dreamily.
“I draw the line at a garret,” he said. “And I do wear a banyan and slippers when it’s chilly.”
6.
“Some would say we’ve pretentions beyond our station, Mrs. Collins, yes, some would say that very thing, but for someone, if you will, attached to a lady as elevated as Lady Catherine de Bourgh, for a clergyman with refined taste and a sense of elegant delicacy derived from a close association with an aristocrat like her Ladyship, well, it hardly seems the argument that we’re aping our betters should be given the least credence,” Mr. Collins declared, speaking much as he would giving one of his sermons. Anything to do with Lady Catherine called for that tone of voice, a fact Charlotte had gleaned after three days in the vicarage.
“As you say, Mr. Collins,” Charlotte replied.
“It’s a squeeze, I’m quite aware of that, but I had the box room fitted out and the alcove in the larger room can serve as a dressing room, if it comes to it,” he said.
“I’ve no complaints, sir,” Charlotte replied. 
Indeed, her husband’s announcement that they would have separate sleeping chambers had made her nearly as happy as his offer to wed and might very well be her salvation.

Hey, Bartender Part 2 – Jake Seresin
Tumblr media
Part 1
After our second talk next to the dumpster, Jake texted me constantly. We haven't had a chance actually to go on a date yet.
"Okay, are you or are you not going to tell me what happened when I saw you talking to Seresin last Saturday," Penny asked as I was wiping down the bar.
"We talked," I sighed.
"About. . ."
I checked the bar to make sure Jake and his friends weren't here. When the coast was clear, I leaned against the bar and told Penny about last night. As I recounted our conversation, Penny was practically jumping up and down.
"That is so sweet of him!"
"Yep," I sighed.
"What's wrong?" She asked, going into her Protective Momma Mode.
"Nothing," I stuttered. "It's just. . . I used to imagine Jake coming to me and confessing his feelings for me. I imagined him completely abandoning his friends and spending a lot of time with me."
"Sounds like it's about to happen," she said optimistically.
"What I meant was that I've built all of this up. What if I'm disappointed?"
"What if you're not?" She asked. "What if it's even better than what you imagined? You were in high school then. Now you're bartending to get yourself through medical school. You're different. And so is he."
My breath got caught in my throat when my phone started ringing. Without seeing my phone, Penny giggled and pushed me toward the back office.
"Hello?" I answered as I closed the door behind me.
"Hey, you," Jake answered. "Are you free tonight? I need to take you on our first date."
"I am free," I answered, slightly stuttering.
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah," I lied. "Just tired. I've been on my feet all day."
"Wasn't that retirement party today?"
"Yes, it was," I smiled when he remembered what I told him a few days ago. "They left about an hour ago. Penny and I are trying to clean up before the after-dinner rush."
"Maybe I'll come by later tonight and help you out," he said, his smirk clear in his voice.
"You mean distract me?" I challenged.
"It's not my fault that my presence distracts you," he chuckled. I heard him clear his throat before he continued, "I'm sorry it's taking us so long to go on our date. They keep adding training sessions the closer we get to our mission date."
"It's okay," I said gently. "I understand. We'll go on our date soon."
"I'm really sorry, Y/N," he said, his voice dropping.
"It's fine, Jake. I mean it," I tried to reassure him.
"We will go on our first date, Y/N," he said firmly. "I promise."
* * * * *
A couple of days later, Jake came jogging into the bar.
"Hey," I smiled. "You want a drink?"
"Nope," he smirked. "What I want is the beautiful bartender behind the bar."
"Wait, what?"
"Penny didn't tell you?" He smirked.
"Tell me what?" I asked slowly.
Just then Penny walked up behind me. She leaned in and playfully whispered, "You have the night off so you can finally go on your date."
I turned toward her but she smirked as she walked a drink to a customer. When I turned back to Jake, he was smiling.
"You ready to go?"
"I guess so," I said, my face burning. He grabbed my hand and pulled me around the bar. He walked me out of the bar and toward his car with his hand still holding mine. My nerves were jumping all over the place as we got into his car.
As he pulled out of the parking lot, he reached over and grabbed my hand. I sent him a smile before turning back around. The entire drive to the restaurant, my mind was racing with 'what ifs' and 'how could he like me'.
Eventually, we pulled up to the restaurant. He kissed my cheek before getting out of the car. He jogged to my side and opened the door. I smiled when he grabbed my hand and helped me out. He kept his hand in mine as he led us into the restaurant.
"Please stop overthinking," he whispered. "Just relax and have fun."
It took a while but eventually, I relaxed and started to enjoy dinner. We started talking about what we've been up to since high school. He talked about instantly learning to fly and dedicating his life to the Navy. I couldn't help but feel a little nervous as he told me about his upcoming mission.
"Sounds like you found your calling," I smiled.
"I did," he nodded. He looked at me before asking, "What about you? What made you want to become a bartender?"
"I don't plan on being a bartender my whole life," I stuttered. "I'm just working here to get me through med school."
"Med school?" Jake asked, slightly scooting closer to the edge of my seat. "I didn't know you wanted to go to med school. When did you figure that out?"
"I've kind of always known," I shrugged. "I want to help people and use my knowledge to help heal people."
"That's amazing, Y/N." He smiled, making my stomach flip. "Can I ask something though?" He waited for me to nod before continuing, "What made you choose bartending? You could've done a number of things. Why bartend?"
I looked into his eyes and realized that he didn't remember. He didn't remember how many times I had to pick up my dad from a work party or help my mom carry him home from the neighborhood barbeque. I looked down at my hands, not really wanting to tell him.
"What is it, Y/N?" He asked gently. The second he said my name, my resistance fell away.
"I decided to go to bartending school because it was the only kind of thing that my father would finance."
"Are you serious?" He asked carefully. I continued to play with my hands, not looking at him.
"He thought that if I worked at a bar, he'd drink for free," I said, the tears burning my eyes.
"You work at a bar that only Navy officials frequent," he said, sounding like he was connecting the dots. "Nowhere close to our hometown."
I bit my lip when he reached across the table and grabbed my hands, pulling them away from each other.
"Y/N," he said my name barely a whisper, "did you move out here and take this job to distance yourself from your dad?"
"Is it bad if I say yes?" I whispered, looking up at him through my eyelashes.
"Absolutely not," he said firmly but still gently. He smiled as he added, "If you hadn't moved here, we never would've run into each other and I never would've had a second chance to ask you out."
I smiled, my face on fire as he looked at me. The rest of the night, we talked about as much as we could come up with. We left the restaurant and Jake drove us back to the bar. He walked me to my car and stopped me from getting in.
Jake pulled me into his chest and wrapped his arms around my waist. I let out a small giggle as I wrapped my arms around his neck. He looked into my eyes before leaning in and gently pressing his lips to mine. As our lips started slowly moving in sync, my mind started to overthink.
"Jake," I whispered, breaking the kiss.
"What's wrong, gorgeous?"
"I don't really know how to ask this," I started hesitantly.
"Just ask," he shrugged as he reached up and moved some hair out of my face. "I promise I won't get mad."
The understanding look in his eyes and the soft smile on his face gave me enough courage to tell him what I was overthinking.
"Do you mind if we keep this low-key?"
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"I just. . . This is new," I stuttered. "And it kind of feels like there's a lot of pressure on us right now. If we kept this low-key and, maybe to ourselves, we could figure out what this is."
"To ourselves?" Jake asked, taking a small step back. "Wait, you don't want to tell anyone about us?"
"I'm just a little worried," I tried to explain.
"About what?"
"I work at the bar where you and your friends. . ."
"My friends," he said, slightly cutting me off. "Are you saying you don't want my friends to know about us?"
"It's just. . . You guys come in almost every night. What if your friends know about us and they don't leave us alone? What if they continually tease us? What if they decide that I'm not good enough and start to try and get you to break up with me."
"They would never," Jake brushed off. "Yes, they may tease us a little, but I guarantee that they'll tease me more than they'll tease you."
"But what if. . ."
"People aren't going to make fun of you, Y/N," he laughed. "This isn't high school."
I instantly stepped out of his arms. I wrapped my arms around myself and bit my bottom lip to stop the tears.
"I didn't mean. . ." Jake stuttered.
"No," I cut him off. "You're right. This isn't high school. Which means I'm not going to let a jock push me around."
I turned toward my car but Jake quickly tried to stop me. "Y/N, wait," he said, grabbing my wrist and turning me toward him. "I'm sorry."
"You know what?" I scoffed, pulling my hand out of his. "I was wrong. All the years of wishing that Jake Seresin, the basketball star, would stumble into the library and whisk me off my feet? What a load of bullshit. Turns out, those teenage romance movies were wrong. The basketball star falling for the bookworm only happens in the movies."
"Y/N. . ."
"Bye, Jake."
* * * * *
After the night that started so well and ended up going up in flames, I turned off my phone and took a couple of days off from work. When my "vacation" was over, I walked back into work with my phone still turned off.
"Hey, sweetie," Penny smiled softly. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine," I shrugged.
"Really?" She gently nudged. I sighed when I saw the knowing look on her face.
"Okay," I gave in. "I feel like crap. And the thought of seeing him after that disastrous date. . . I know I can't avoid him forever but still."
"Are you sure you're ready to come back?"
"I don't have a choice," I sighed, pulling my hair into a high pony. "I need money for school. I guess I could always switch. . ."
My voice got caught in my throat when I saw Jake and his friends walk into the bar. It felt like everything around us froze when Jake looked up and instantly made eye contact with me. I'm not sure how long we stared at each other. Eventually, Jake's friends pulled him away.
I looked down, struggling to stop the tears as all the pain came rushing back. I busied myself with starting to serve customers. Throughout the night, I could feel Jake's eyes on me but I forced myself not to return the stare.
"Hey there, gorgeous."
The drunken voice made me cringe. I put on my fake smile and turned toward the customer.
"What can I get for you?"
"What do I have to order to get you in my car?" He asked with a drunken smirk on his face.
"There is not a drink strong enough in the world," I mumbled. I cleared my throat before asking, "What would you like to drink?"
"I would like a tall drink of you," he said, leaning on the bar.
"Seriously," I sighed, losing my patience, "what do you want?"
"Isn't it clear, gorgeous?" He smirked. I swore under my breath when he sat down. "I want you."
I scoffed as I turned on my heel and started serving customers on the other side of the bar. The entire time I made drinks, his drunk eyes followed me.
"Can I ask you a question?" The guy said a little overly loud. I sighed before turning around. I kept my distance as I answered.
"It depends," I shrugged. "If it's 'will you go home with me', then no. If it's 'can you call me a cab', then yes."
"Witty," he chuckled. "I was going to ask what a guy has to do to get you to turn that scowl into a flirtty smile. What can I do?"
"Nothing," I said, flatly.
"Come on," he laughed. "What kind of guys are you into?"
My eyes instantly drifted toward the group of pilots over by the pool tables. My heart jumped into my throat when I saw that Jake was already watching me.
Well, not me but the drunk guy.
"Unless you're not into guys," the drunk man giggled like a schoolgirl.
"I'm not," I said, looking away from Jake. I smirked as I added, "I'm into men."
The guy stayed in that spot for another twenty minutes. He kept trying to get my attention, but I kept brushing it off. I started to keep my distance when I noticed him getting more and more annoyed. I also noticed that the more annoyed the drunk guy got, the more I felt Jake's eyes on me.
"You know," the guy started again, "I think you and I would get along quite well."
"I highly doubt that," I said, under my breath. "Look, I think it's time you leave."
"Come on," he brushed off. "We were just getting to know each other."
"I have made no effort toward getting to know you," I said, throwing down my towel. "Instead, I have made a great effort in getting you to leave."
"You don't really want that," he tried to answer that for me.
"I really do," I exaggerated. "Now, please leave."
"I think I'll have another beer when you get a chance, gorgeous."
"No," I said, crossing my arms over my chest. "I'm cutting you off. Get out."
"You can't cut off a paying customer," he scoffed.
"Actually, I can," I said. "As the bartender, I have the right to stop serving anyone I see fit. Or should I say unfit to hold another drink?"
I started to walk away, but he quickly grabbed my wrist. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jake drop his pool cue and run over.
"It would be in your best interest to let the lady go," Jake said, his voice seeming to get slower and deeper with each work. He was standing directly behind the guy, but his eyes kept glancing at me.
"This has nothing to do with you," the guy spat at him. Jake's eyes drifted to the guy's hand, which was still holding my wrist. Seeing it made him angry. He roughly grabbed the guy's arm and tore him off of me. I gasped when Jake pinned the guy's arm behind him and shoved his face into the bar. He looked up at me, his eyes instantly softening.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," I said, my voice a little shakier than I had wished.
"Everything alright, Hangman?"
I instantly wrapped my arms around myself when Jake's friends walked over. A few of them looked between Jake, the guy, and me. It was the only female pilot that turned fully toward me.
"Are you okay, Ms.?" she asked. She glanced down, her eyes landing on my wrist. I looked down and could already see bruises forming. I quickly covered the bruise with my other hand and subconsciously started to rub it. She looked back up at me before turning towards her friends.
"Coyote, Payback, I think this gentleman needs help out to his car."
They followed her eyes, their own eyes darkening when they saw me rubbing my wrist.
Jake let the guy go and tossed him toward two of his friends, (I'm guessing Coyote and Payback). I didn't stop rubbing my wrist as I watched the two pilots, followed by the rest of their crew, escort the drunk guy out the door. After they literally threw him out, they waited for him to leave.
I turned away from the door, my heart jumping into my throat when I saw Jake was still standing on the other side of the bar.
"Are you sure you're alright?"
"I'm fine," I whispered.
"Can I see your wrist?" He asked gently.
"I said I was fine," I brushed off. I turned around and started shakily cleaning the bar.
I looked up and saw Jake's friends walk back into the bar but I didn't turn around.
"He's gone," Coyote reassured Jake.
"We made sure," Payback chuckled. They stopped laughing when they looked up at me, my back still to them.
"Is she okay?" Coyote asked, lowering his voice.
"She says she's fine," Jake sighed.
"Please tell me you don't actually believe that," Phoenix said with a small smirk on her face.
"No," Jake whispered. "I don't."
"You think we should call, Mav?" Asked the one I think is Rooster.
"Why him?" The quieter guy asked.
"Isn't he out with Penny tonight?" Rooster asked. "She might want to know what happened."
"There's no need for that," I said, quickly turning around.
"You were attacked, Y/N," Jake sighed.
"He just grabbed me," I tried to brush off. "It happens all the time."
"Wait, what?" Jake asked, stepping closer to the bar. I studied him, the panic in his eyes making the butterflies return.
"I'm a female bartender," I stuttered, glancing behind Jake at his friends. "Guys get drunk and think they can flirt their way into free drinks. Or they want to brag about sleeping with the female bartender."
The look in Jake's eyes changed. All I could see was anger. With a small side of jealousy.
"You work at a Navy bar," the one named Fanboy said slowly.
"I'm sorry to say this, but it doesn't make this place safe," I sighed. A customer called for me so I walked away from the group. I could see them still talking but couldn't hear their conversations.
A little while later, I made my rounds around the bar. I was cleaning some of the used glasses when I noticed the pilots were gone. My eyes glanced around the room, looking for a specific pilot. The butterflies danced when I found him sitting at a table by the door.
I grabbed the beer I knew Jake liked and took it to him. I put it in front of him and subconsciously started rubbing my wrists.
"What's this for?" Jake smiled.
"It's a thank you," I said. "For intervening with that guy."
Jake stood up, completely ignoring the beer. He gently grabbed my hands, pulling me in closer.
"I'm really sorry about the other day," he said under his breath. "I didn't mean what I said. I shouldn't have said it. I was just confused. And I hated thinking that you didn't trust my. . ."
"I was wrong," I cut him off. "I was wrong about your friends, Jake. The way they all stood up for me despite the fact that they had no idea who I really was. . . To you."
"They actually knew," Jake chuckled.
"What do you mean?"
"After the first time I walked up to the bar and ordered a drink from you, I went back to my friends and they instantly knew something was up," he chuckled. "They kept badgering me about why I suddenly turned into an insecure 16-year-old. I then told them all about the girl I let get away."
"The girl you. . ."
He pulled me in closer as he continued, "I swore to them that I would not make the same mistake I did in high school and let my cowardice keep me from being with the girl I'm meant to be with."
"Jake," I stuttered. He pulled me in and pressed a sweet yet firm kiss to my lips. I moaned as I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him back. He broke the kiss, the two of us already out of breath.
"I promise," Jake whispered, "I will not make the same mistake I did in high school. No more being a coward. I mean it, Y/N. You and me."
"Just a pilot with a crush on a bartender?" I teased. He laughed as he pulled me in closer. The look in his eyes slightly changed.
"The pilot who's madly in love with the bartender."
"You're not really. . ." I stuttered. He leaned in his face inches from mine. I felt his breath on my face as he whispered.
"I really am, Y/N."

For build a birth, if you still do them
🤰🏽2️⃣✈️🛑✋️👖 🧠
Maybe she's an air hostess who is trying to hide her birth in every way possible but struggling.
Naomi couldn't handle going another round with the drink cart.
Honestly, she should have sat this flight out entirely, considering how close she was to her due date. But this one was supposed to be short, only a few hours, and she was certain that she would be able to handle it no problem. That was until they were fully ascended, which was when the cramping started in earnest. She had brushed it off, having experienced similar false pains before, but as time went on and they became a little too consistent, Naomi realized too late that she may have made a big mistake.
Still, she managed to put on a pleasantly professional facade, and went about her stewardess duties as efficiently as she could.

"…ould I?"
"…hm?" Naomi looked up, not realizing that one of her coworkers had asked her a question. She'd been focusing on making through yet another contraction, trying not to think too much about how they were only minutes apart now.
"I said, are you good to take the drink cart around one more time, or should I?" the other stewardess replied, concern slightly etching her face.
"Oh, um…would you? I just need a quick bathroom break," she replied, managing a small smile. She watched her coworker nod and leave her be, and she breathed a quiet sigh of relief as she made a beeline for the bathroom. Everything was still fine, she told herself, she just needed a moment entirely to herself.
As if on cue, as soon as she shut the door behind her she felt the telltale throb of yet another contraction. The previous one had only been less than two minutes ago, and her heart raced as she breathed through this one. The pressure was becoming so intense, nigh unbearable, and she hurriedly muffled her whimpering into the crook of her arm. Just when she thought she had managed to make it through the worst of it, she felt a sudden shifting from inside of her, followed by a slick gush of fluid running down her thighs.
Cursing silently to herself, she managed to clean up the pool of fluid that had formed beneath her, and dried herself off as best she could with a fistful of paper towels. Luckily the tights of her uniform were black, so it was unlikely that anyone would notice.
Hopefully.
---
Naomi swallowed thickly, hoping that nobody could see the beads of sweat forming at her temples. It had felt like they had been up there for days, but in reality it had only been a little over two hours. If all went smoothly, they would be landing in less than an hour, but she was beginning to suspect she wouldn't be able to hold out for that long.
She'd been fighting the intense urge to push for the past hour, and every time her belly tensed with a fresh contraction, she felt herself losing the fight more and more. Luckily her coworkers didn't think much of her multiple bathroom breaks, figuring that it was simply a matter of her baby pressing on her bladder.
But as Naomi shut herself into the bathroom for the fifth time, she had to cover her mouth with both hands in order to fight back the groan bubbling up in her throat. The pressure was unbearable, it felt as though her baby was constantly moving and shifting even without her giving into the urge to push. Speaking of which, she had a thought, born entirely of desperation. Maybe if she gave in and pushed, just a little, she would feel better.
Before she could really think it through, her body was already acting on pure instinct for her, and she breathed shakily through her nose as she finally let herself push. Immediately she regretted it, because as soon as she did she could feel her entrance bulging and opening, alerting her to just how close she was to giving birth.
"No, nonono," she whispered urgently, one of her hands flying down under her skirt and between her legs. The head of her baby had begun to bulge outward into her tights, and without thinking she did the only thing she thought might help, her eyes screwing tightly shut as she gradually applied pressure, pushing the head back inside of herself. Once it was fully in she exhaled with a harsh pant, her chest heaving with exertion.
Only an hour left.
---
"Naomi? Everything okay in there?"
The muffled voice of her fellow stewardess on the other side of the bathroom door barely reached Naomi, her mind entirely focused on stopping what her body wanted to do so badly. She'd shut herself in the bathroom again, but had been in there for nearly fifteen minutes without realizing it. Her knuckles went white as she braced herself on the metal bar next to the toilet, silently pleading with her baby to just wait a little longer.
It was clear that she'd run out of time, though, and before she could stop herself she could feel the clench of her muscles betray her, and she moaned with frustration as she pushed without even trying. That had opened the floodgates, quite literally, and she felt another spurt of amniotic fluid burst from her as she felt herself fully crowning into her tights again. Tears ran down her face as she realized she would have to just see it through, and when the intense urge possessed her again she bore down hard, her cheeks going ruddy with effort.
Right when it seemed that the pressure and the stretch would never end, she let out a shuddering moan as her ruined tights bulged further out, her baby slipping into the drenched fabric. Hurriedly she managed to pull them down past her thighs in order to retrieve the squalling infant. More knocking and voices came from the other side of the door, but Naomi couldn't focus on that. Bringing her baby to her chest, she steadily regained her breath as she sat sprawled on the small floor of the bathroom.
She winced as she felt what she assumed to be the afterbirth making its way out, but it was causing much more pain than she had thought it would. Her hand trembled slightly as she reached between her legs again, and her eyes widened as she felt not the wet membrane of the placenta, but something firm beginning to emerge from her overexerted cunt.
"O-oh no," she whimpered. Surrounded by the cacophony of voices from outside the bathroom and the cries of her first baby, Naomi realized that she was about to birth it's twin. Moaning with exhausted effort, she spread her thighs as much as she could in the cramped space and pushed hard, desperate for this to be over now. Now that everyone had caught onto what was happening, she didn't bother masking her cries and grunts as she fought to finish giving birth.
Bearing down one final time, she faintly heard a cracking sound coming from the bathroom door, and in a moment the door was forcefully pried open, just in time for everyone on the other side to watch as the second baby emerged with a gush of fluid from between Naomi's slick, trembling thighs.

MY STRANGE ADDICTION - RAFE CAMERON
Tumblr media
dealer! rafe cameron x maddy perez
Maddy Perez has never been addicted to drugs—nor will she ever be. Her only addiction is the campus dealer she just can't seem to shake off and no matter how hard she tries to break free, she keeps getting pulled back into his orbit.
Tumblr media
masterlist w.c — 4.0 c.w — smut, p in v a.n — choosing to continue this cause i got two free weeks and like lots of ideas abt these two for someee reason. lets ignore that rafe would actually off himself if he had to deal with maddy hihi :)
maddy goes to a party with nate and guess who's there? our very own campus dealer
Tumblr media
Maddy’s gaze was fixed on Nate, though her attention was split in too many directions to keep track of. SZA’s smooth voice floated through the speakers, the music blending with the background chatter of the party. Nate was talking—something about football or his job—but his words felt like static. Her mind wandered, her eyes constantly flicking around, scanning the crowd. She hated how automatic it was, this ridiculous, involuntary search her brain always seemed to conduct.
She forced herself to focus, blinking hard as if to clear the fog clouding her thoughts. Nate’s voice filtered back in. “—think I’ll be moving up in ranks pretty soon,” he finished, his tone proud.
Maddy nodded, plastering on a polite smile, though she had no idea what “ranks” he was even referring to. “That’s great. I’m happy for you. Sounds like things are going well.”
Her tone was effortless, practiced, and Nate seemed satisfied with her response. He leaned in, adjusting the strap of her slightly crumpled bikini top with the kind of familiarity she used to find endearing. Once, his boldness might have been attractive, thrilling even. Now, it was just…irritating. Her instincts told her to pull back, but she stopped herself. She’d come here with him, after all. His “date.”
“Are the others here yet?” Nate asked, scanning the crowd.
The answer hovered on her tongue, ready to be spoken, but she faltered. That chill along her spine was unmistakable, a sensation that set her on edge in an entirely different way. She didn’t have to look to know. It was him.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught the blurred outlines of people entering the party. She couldn’t make out faces, only the edges of dark clothing and purposeful movements. Her body recognized him before her brain did.
Her gaze darted briefly to her outfit—a black bikini paired with an oversized white button-up for a pretense of modesty. She let out a shaky breath, willing herself to refocus. “They’re on their way,” she said lightly. “They wanted to pregame.”
Nate raised a brow, his expression curious. “Since when do you skip out on pregaming?”
Her pulse quickened, not from Nate’s question but from the pull she felt across the space between her and him. The boy who made her feel utterly insane. The one she wanted to shove down a flight of stairs whenever caught him with someone else.
“I don’t like drinking when I don’t know the host,” she said, her tone even. It wasn’t entirely untrue, though it wasn’t the real reason either.
Nate gave her a reassuring smile, leaning closer. “I’m here. You know I’d never let anything happen to you.”
She forced another smile. “I know. But still…better safe than sorry.” She tilted her cup slightly, letting the drink spill silently into the grass behind her before handing it to him. “Could you get me a refill?”
He nodded, his smile warm and easy, before disappearing toward the drink table.
The moment he was gone, Maddy turned on her pool chair, angling herself to face the water. A few people were swimming, but most lingered on the edges, laughing and chatting in tight groups.
Her phone buzzed against her leg, the vibration pulling her attention. Leaning back, she reached for it and opened the message.
Tumblr media
Her eyes scanned the words briefly before instinctively looking up, searching for him. He had to be watching. He always was.
It didn’t take long to find him. He sat directly across from her on the far side of the pool, surrounded by his friends. And, as if drawn by some invisible force, his eyes were already on her.
That electric jolt hit her again, the same one it always did when their gazes locked. It was sharp, unmistakable, and it made her feel more alive than she cared to admit.
Not wanting to stare like an idiot, Maddy dropped her gaze back to her phone and began typing her reply.
Tumblr media
Across the pool, he watched her with a faint smile tugging at his lips. He found this amusing, he'd always liked it when she was being bitchy. At least she was responding now—it was better than the stony silence she’d given him for weeks.
Tumblr media
And that was true. She probably wouldn't fuck Nate. That was kinda gross.
Tumblr media
“Here’s your refill. Sorry that took a minute,” Nate said as he sat down near her feet, holding out a plastic cup filled with something bright red.
Maddy clicked off her phone, tucking it between her thighs before reaching for the drink. “That’s okay, thank you.” She took a small sip, letting the artificial sweetness settle on her tongue.
For the first time all evening, Nate was quiet. Too quiet. Maddy glanced over, her brows knitting together when she noticed he wasn’t even looking at her. His gaze was fixed somewhere else.
“What?” she asked, her tone laced with impatience.
Nate didn’t answer right away. Instead, he gave a subtle nod toward something—or someone—in the distance. “He’s coming over here.”
Maddy didn’t need clarification. She already knew.
“He looks pissed,” Nate added, shifting uncomfortably.
Maddy narrowed her eyes, leaning back in her chair like she had all the time in the world. “He is,” she said casually, taking another sip of her drink. “I told him you called him a dog.”
Nate’s eyes went wide with panic. “What? Why would you do that?”
She smirked, savoring his reaction for just a moment too long. “I’m joking. Jesus, relax. He’s not a murderer.” She wasn’t entirely sure about that last part.
Before Nate could say anything else, Rafe’s looming presence was suddenly upon them. His large hands landed on Nate’s shoulders with enough force to make Nate flinch.
“Jacobs,” Rafe said, his voice low and heavy with unspoken authority.
Maddy rolled her eyes, leaning back further into the pool chair, feigning indifference as though she could actually ignore the scene unfolding in front of her.
Rafe didn’t say another word. He simply nodded his head to the side, a silent command for Nate to leave.
Nate didn’t even hesitate. He was gone in seconds, a move so predictable it almost made her laugh.
“You could’ve picked someone who made it feel a little like a competition,” Rafe said, lowering himself into the spot Nate had vacated.
Maddy let out a mock-hurt hum. “Your homeboys weren’t free, but I’ll definitely keep them in mind for next time.”
Rafe tilted his head, eyes narrowing at her before he chuckled, shaking his head. “That’s good. That’s really good.”
He shifted closer, his tone taking on a serious edge. “Are you done, though? Can we put an end to this, or do you want to keep stretching it out?”
Maddy tilted her head, playing dumb. “Clarify,” she said, her voice dripping with faux sweetness.
Rafe’s jaw tightened, irritation flashing in his eyes. “I’m going to ask you the same thing I asked you a month ago, yeah?” He leaned forward, his gaze pinning her in place. “What do you want? Because I’ve apologized—every damn day for the past three weeks—and I’ve spoiled you rotten. Even though you can’t even answer the fucking phone when I call.”
He leaned back, spreading his arms wide in a gesture of exasperation. “So what is it? You want me to get on my knees?”
The corner of Maddy’s mouth twitched, and she could feel the playful glint in her eyes betraying her. The idea didn’t sound bad at all.
Rafe caught her expression immediately and shook his head. “Don’t do the most, Maddy.”
She straightened up, sitting forward so that they were nearly nose-to-nose. “I’m going to tell you the same thing I told you a month ago, yeah?” she echoed back at him, mimicking his tone.
He waited, his gaze sharp and unyielding.
“I don’t want shit from you,” she said with a shrug, her voice light. “The gifts have been nice, though.”
She reached out and tapped the tip of his nose with her finger, the move so childish it bordered on petty. Then, without another word, she stood up and walked away.
Rafe stayed seated, watching her disappear into the crowd, his jaw tight with frustration. Maddy didn’t bother looking back. She had ten minutes to find Nate before her friends showed up—and she wasn’t about to waste them.
“Nate, let’s dance,” Maddy said, grabbing his hand and tugging him away from his friends. He hesitated for only a second, his gaze darting to the group he’d just left.
“I don’t want to get in the middle of shit, you know that,” he muttered, his voice low and uncertain.
Maddy sighed, rolling her eyes in visible irritation. “There isn’t shit to get in the middle of. Don’t worry about him.” Her tone was firm, dismissive, as if the mere mention of Rafe was beneath her.
Nate didn’t look entirely convinced, but when Maddy began to sway her hips to the pulsing beat of the music, his resistance faltered. Almost instinctively, his hands found her waist, his touch tentative at first but growing bolder as she moved against him.
The crowd around them thickened, bodies pressing together as the bass of the music thumped louder, rattling the walls. The heat in the room was almost stifling, a mix of sweat and cologne hanging heavy in the air. She pulled Nate closer, leaning up to brush her lips along the shell of his ear in a way that made him shiver.
Her eyes, however, were elsewhere.
Through the chaotic swirl of bodies, her gaze found him. Rafe sat with his friends, a pretty brunette perched on his lap, laughing at something he’d said. A joint dangled lazily between his fingers, though he seemed utterly uninterested in the girl giggling in his ear or the conversation happening around him.
His attention was fixed entirely on Maddy.
She felt the sharp thrill of his gaze, like electricity crackling along her skin. The corner of her mouth twitched upward in the faintest smirk.
Nate was speaking—something about how hot she looked, maybe—but Maddy barely registered his words. Instead, she cut him off mid-sentence, tugging him down to crash her lips against his.
Nate responded eagerly, his arms wrapping tighter around her as if he couldn’t get enough. He wasn’t the most compelling person she’d ever been with—far from it, actually. Everything about him was a stark contrast to Rafe: where Rafe was sharp and commanding, Nate was soft and accommodating. But he served his purpose.
Maddy let her hands trail up his chest, pulling him deeper into the moment. His hands slid lower, grazing her hips before resting on her ass. She let out a soft moan when he gave her a light squeeze, tilting her head just enough to draw him further in.
When she finally pulled back, her lips were slick and swollen, her breath mingling with his. Nate’s lips chased hers instantly, desperate and clumsy in his eagerness.
She giggled softly, brushing her fingers along his jaw. “Let’s go upstairs,” she murmured, her voice dripping with suggestion.
Nate didn’t need to be told twice. Grabbing her hand, he began weaving through the sea of bodies, his grip firm as he led her toward the stairs.
Nate had her pinned against the wall before they even made it to a room. His hands roamed her waist, gripping like he was afraid to lose his chance. The hallway was dimly lit, the muffled bass from downstairs vibrating through the walls. Maddy’s breath hitched—not from excitement, but from the sharp pang of regret she was trying to suppress.
It was a blur. One moment, Nate was in front of her, his lips brushing her neck. The next, he was ripped away with a force that made her stumble. Her eyes flew open, her back still pressed to the cool plaster, and there was Rafe.
He stood between her and Nate, broad-shouldered and seething, his jaw tight and his chest heaving. Nate, caught off guard, staggered before regaining his footing.
“You—” Rafe began, his voice low and dangerous, but he paused as Nate straightened and, to Maddy’s surprise, stepped forward with a spark of defiance.
“Don’t get any ideas, Jacobs,” Rafe warned, his tone dripping with disdain. His sharp blue eyes cut into Nate, daring him to react.
When he didn't leave, Rafe turned to Nate in surprise. "You need something?"
Nate didn’t flinch. His gaze flicked between Rafe and Maddy before he squared his shoulders. “If you don’t feel safe with him,” he said, his voice steady but charged, “I’m not leaving.”
Maddy didn’t need to look at Rafe to know that Nate had just lit the match.
“Do you want me to—” Rafe’s voice exploded, his body lurching forward like a coiled spring released. Maddy moved faster, her hand shooting out to grab his arm, halting him before he could make contact.
“Nate, go!” she barked, her voice slicing through the tension like a whip.
For a moment, Nate hesitated. His concern for her was evident, but so was his understanding of the situation. One second longer, and he turned, retreating down the hallway.
As soon as he was gone, Maddy spun on Rafe, shoving him hard in the chest. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” she demanded, her voice trembling with anger.
Rafe barely moved under her shove, his stance unyielding, his lips curling into a smirk that was as infuriating as it was amused. “What’s wrong with me?” he shot back, his voice loud enough to echo. “Isn't this exactly why the fuck you do this dumb shit? Don't act like you have any interest in that poor boy.”
“The only poor boy is the one I'm looking at right now,” Maddy snapped, her voice rising to meet his. “I don't see what the fuck the issue is since last I checked, you were nice and cosied up with your little friend by the pool."
Rafe’s expression darkened, his eyes narrowing. “I’m not the one who showed up with someone on my arm,” he retorted, his words sharp. “You think that shits funny, grinding your ass all over him like a slut?”
The slap came before she could stop herself. The sound was deafening in the narrow hallway, sharp and precise like the crack of a whip. Rafe’s head jerked slightly, and for a fleeting moment, she saw the sting in his eyes before he masked it with that infuriating nonchalance.
“Did I cross a line?” he asked, his voice smooth but laced with mockery. His smirk returned, daring her to do it again.
“You’re a piece of shit, you know that?” Maddy spat, her voice trembling with fury. She stepped closer, invading his space and he nods slowly like he knows something she doesn't, "You say the same shit when your pussy is creaming on my dick."
Maddy didn't want to think about it, had been avoiding the image, the memory of sex with Rafe. But he'd brought it up now, rubbed it right in her face and she was faced with the undeniable truth that he was the best she'd ever had and he knew it. He was rubbing it in her face right now, he was always rubbing it in her face that no matter what he said and how he acted, she'd never say no.
Maddy’s mind betrayed her, conjuring memories she had buried deep. She could see it clearly now—the way he moved, the way he touched her, the way he made her lose herself entirely.
She must have let it show on her face because his smirk widened, his eyes gleaming with amusement.
Maddy grabs him by the back of his neck before he can say something even more stupid and crushes her lips to his in a kiss that is somewhere between angry and desperate.
Rafe's got her legs wrapped around him in a flash, hands firmly on her ass as he walks them into the first room he can blindly find. Maddy's lips are coaxed open by the slide of his tongue as he slams the door closed behind them and shoves her back against the wall. She huffs at the force of his shove, "Be fucking gentle."
"Stop talking so fucking much." He grunted, mouth moving from her lips to her neck and Maddy couldn't surpress the moan that forced her way past her lips. She felt Rafe's eager fingers on the thin strap of her bikini bottom, "Don't you fucking dare rip those," She knew him all too well and these bottoms were the only clothing she had on her.
"Why? You seem to love the attention you've been getting lately." Rafe murmurs as his hand slides down to unzip his pants swiftly. She's pleased when he doesn't completely ignore her polite request and pushes her bikini to the side. Maddy whimpers, nails digging into his shoulder and back when she feels him press against her aching folds.
"Is this what you wanted, baby? This what you needed?" he whispered in a mocking voice as his tip tentatively pushes inside of Maddy's seeping cunt and her legs involuntarily tighten around him. "Now you wanna shut up, huh?" Rafe groans as he pushes inside of her and Maddy feels the air escape her lungs.
"God," Maddy whined, head falling back against the door as his stupidly big cock nestled itself deep inside her and the pleasure and pain takes her breath away. For a moment, she's not sure if breathing is still an option until he starts steadily moving and as with everything, Rafe does—it's rough and she can barely contain the moans that tumble out of her mouth.
His grip on her thighs is bruising and with every harsh thrust, her back is slamming back onto that door but she can't even find it in her to care. Her eyes flutter for a moment and she tries to keep them on him, tries to keep her focus because she can't deny that he looks so fucking good right now—all focused with groans and grunts escaping his lips as he hammers into her walls.
But it doesn't last, it can't when he's being this rough, fucking her into the door and making it impossible for her to focus on anything but the way he was pounding into her. "Fuck, baby. It's been too long, too fucking long.." He groans through gritted teeth, "Think anyone can fuck you like this? Think Jacobs can fuck you like this?" And Maddy's pathetic moans filling the room do little to keep him from trying to pick a fight with her like usual.
"Shut t-the f—"
"This is my fucking pussy," Rafe continues and each words is followed by a harsh thrust that pressed Maddy against the door over and over and Maddy's hands are trembling, scrambling to hold onto him, to assure she doesn't lose her grip with how weak her legs are starting to feel. "Mine. You're all mine, Maddy."
"Fuck you. I h-hate you.." Maddy cries out, legs tightening around Rafe because she doesn't belong to him or anyone but also because his dick is splitting her open and she can't decide wether she wants him to stop or keep going.
"Yeah, I know. You hate me so much you letting me pound your cunt. That's how much you hate me, huh?" Rafe laughs, his hands holding her up like he can feel she's about give out completely. Maddy's brain feels like it's short circuiting as Rafe goes at a pace too brutal to keep up with.
A couple of nasty words sit at the tip of her tongue for Rafe but they won't come out, a sentence refuses to form in her mind. "F-Fuck..fuck!" Maddy can't—won't ever get past how mindblowingly good the sex was.
"Mm, y-you..you're.." Maddy starts mumbling despite how her eyes are rolling back and she's seeing spots in her vision, "You're j-just some half-decent sex," Maddy chokes out and Rafe cocks his head at that, amused smirk on his lips. "Half decent?" he breathes out as Maddy clenches around his fat cock.
Maddy's about to make it worse, seconds away from telling him Nate has fucked her ten times better when he brutally pounds into her, "Rafe!" she screams as he repeatedly hits that sweet spot and she knows it's retaliation for calling their sex decent. It only makes Maddy want to say something worse.
She's gone though, whatever curse words she's throwing at him are coming out in blubbers and moans and with the way he's pounding into her, Maddy's surprised the door is still holding. "Mm..mmm..y-you you..y.." Maddy rambles absentmindedly, her words lost between the moans that are escaping her lips as Rafe's thrust only get sloppier and faster.
"Can barely get through your sentences, baby. You sure the sex is only half-decent?" He teases and Maddy knows that somewhere deep inside, that comment irritates her but right now, with his cock hammering into her, there is absolutely nothing that she cares about apart from the pit she can feel in her stomach right now.
Maddy whines, high and soft because the exhaustion is starting to catch up to her. She needs to come. "God, you look so fucking good right now, can't believe I lasted a month.." Rafe almost growls as his hips stutter and his own orgasm draws closer and closer. "Need it..n-need you.." Maddy moans before she feels herself being pushed over the edge and her blissful orgasm spills out of her. Rafe has a couple more thrusts in him before he's following suit and with a deep low groan, he's creaming inside of her.
For a few seconds, there was only silence between them, accompanied by the sound of their heavy breathing. Rafe’s forehead pressed against hers, a rare moment of calm between them both. It was a rare occurence in their particular situation—an interlude between their constant fighting or fucking. This moment, existing somewhere in the space between, might have been the closest they ever came to being normal.
The muffled roar of cheers and music swelled from downstairs, snapping the quiet like a rubber band. Rafe eased her back to the ground, and Maddy stepped away, her legs shaky but her resolve intact. She caught her reflection in the mirror, her makeup slightly smudged, hair tousled. Sighing, she adjusted herself as best she could.
A towel landed unceremoniously on her head, startling her. She turned, glaring at Rafe, who stood there with a half-smirk like he’d done her a favor.
“You expect me to wipe with this?” she asked, holding the towel up with a grimace. “Where did you even find it?”
“Too good for a towel now?” he mumbled, shaking his head as he reached for something else. He handed her a clean napkin with a smile.
She snatched it from him without a word, cleaning herself quickly before tossing it into the small trash bin by the dresser. When she straightened, he was behind her, his arm slipping loosely around her neck, his lips brushing her ear as he murmured, “Wanna get out of here?”
She did. God, she did. But instead of saying so, she turned, her expression hardening. “You can’t act like that toward Nate again. Or anyone,” she said firmly, her tone daring him to argue.
Rafe’s eyes rolled, the dismissive motion igniting her frustration. “Go fuck Jacobs if you think he’s such a saint,” he shot back mockingly, leaning against the wall like he owned the place.
Maddy raised a brow, the edge of her lips curling into a challenging smirk. “I don’t want to fuck Nate. But I can fuck him if I want to. That’s what I’m trying to make clear to you.”
His jaw tightened, his blue eyes flashing with something dark and unreadable. “I don’t need you to make shit clear to me,” he bit out, his voice low and rough.
Her own temper flared, her voice sharp enough to cut through the tension. “Watch your fucking mouth.”
And just like that, the delicate peace shattered.
Here they went again.

Title: More Than Just Friends
Summary: Everyone at school can see it—JJ Maybank and Y/N clearly have a thing going on. Whether it’s the way he always steals her lunch scraps, refuses to sit anywhere that isn’t next to her, or how protective he gets when another guy gets too close—there’s no denying the connection between them. But are they just friends… or something more?
Pairing: JJ Maybank x Reader
Warnings: Fluff, mutual pining, protective JJ.
Tumblr media
It was obvious.
Painfully obvious.
The Pogues had been watching it happen for months now—every stolen glance, every lingering touch, every shared laugh between you and JJ. The two of you swore you were just friends, but no one was buying it anymore.
Especially not today.
You sat cross-legged on the grass during lunch, the sun warm against your skin as you unwrapped your sandwich. JJ sat right beside you, so close that his knee brushed against yours every time he shifted. He was leaning back on his hands, his usual grin present, but his eyes kept flicking toward your lunch like clockwork.
It was routine by now.
You pulled the tomato slices from your sandwich, scrunching your nose as you handed them to him.
“Here,” you said with a soft smile.
JJ smirked, taking them without hesitation. “You know me so well, princess.”
He popped the slices into his mouth like they were the best thing he’d ever tasted, and then without a word, you reached for his untouched veggie cup and swapped it with your container of grapes.
“Seriously?” He groaned.
“You need fruit, JJ.” You grinned, popping a grape into your mouth. “Besides, you hate veggies.”
“Yeah, but I tolerate them for you.” He shot back, taking a grape despite his grumbling.
Kiara raised a brow, watching the entire exchange from where she sat with Pope and John B. She leaned closer, whispering, “They’re literally so together.”
“They’re not, though.” Pope muttered, narrowing his eyes. “I asked Y/N. She said they’re just friends.”
John B snorted. “Yeah? Tell that to JJ when he’s practically feeding her grapes like they’re in a rom-com.”
Sure enough, JJ had just held up a grape, wiggling his brows at you.
“C’mon, open up,” he teased.
You rolled your eyes but still let him feed it to you, your lips brushing his fingers just enough to make him swallow hard.
The Pogues exchanged looks.
Friends? Yeah, right.
The clinginess didn’t stop at lunch.
In history, JJ was already seated when you walked in, feet propped up on the chair next to him, clearly reserving the seat.
“Really?” you teased, raising a brow.
“Really,” he shot back, grinning as he dropped his feet and patted the chair. “C’mon, sunshine. Sit next to your favorite person.”
You couldn’t even argue because, truthfully? You wanted to sit next to him. Being close felt easy, like second nature, and the way he scribbled dumb doodles on your notebook when the teacher droned on only made you smile more.
When class ended, JJ was right there again, waiting outside your next period.
“Need a bodyguard?” he joked, throwing an arm around your shoulders.
You huffed a laugh. “I can walk to class alone, JJ.”
“Yeah, but it’s better when I’m around,” he smirked, eyes twinkling.
But his playful mood shifted the second he spotted the guy who was your partner in biology standing a little too close when you walked in. His grip on your shoulder tightened just slightly, voice dropping as he whispered, “This guy bothering you?”
You snorted. “No, JJ. Chill. He’s my lab partner.”
JJ narrowed his eyes at the guy anyway, holding eye contact for a beat too long before reluctantly letting you go—but not before brushing his hand down your back on his way out.
And by the time the final bell rang, he was already waiting outside, leaning casually against the lockers with that grin.
“Miss me?”
