THIRTEEN: I wanted [my mother] to die. She just⊠yelled. So much. And for no reason. Just screamed at me in front of my friends. My father tried to explain to me that her brain was literally shrinking, that she didn't mean it, that it was the disease. But I didn't care. I hated her. I never said goodbye. And she died with me hating her.

CHASE: My dad left me alone to to care for my alcoholic mum and raise my baby sister. I was just a teenager. I spent half my time changing diapers and the other half cleaning up my mum's vomit. [âŠ] Mum died after a few years. It was ugly and painful and she went with me hating her. [âŠ] So do I wish mum had used a gun instead of a bottle? Yes.

PAC/ Your destined person đ
Hi loves and welcome to this new PAC! I'll be taking a time from this blog to focus on another projects, it doesn't mean that this blog will be unactive, it is just that I won't post that much pacs or astrology, I'll be more focused in my Spanish blog for a while. Anyway, private readings will still be open and from time to time I'll post something over here because Tumblr is and always will be my safe place.
Take a deep breath before choosig your pile and pick the picture you feel called the most, because this is a general reading it doesn't have to fully resonate, keep what does and leave what doesn't for somebody else, you can always choose another pile :)
For private readings click here
My blog in Spanish here
Decks: Romantic tarot, dark wood tarot, tea leafs oracle, romance angels oracle, love oracle cards
All pics are from pinterest, credits to their owners
Pile 1/ Pile 2
Pile 3/ Pile 4
Pile 1:
Who is your destined person?:
(Cards: 6 of swords, 3 of pentacles, 6 of pentacles, moon, hermit, queen of wands, king of swords/ hermit rev, death, wheel of fortune, 5 of pentacles, sun)
This person probably comes from a very different backgroud than you, it will seem like you don't have much in common at first, they have probably moved from the place they were born and are getting used to the new place. They are a hard worker, right now they are putting a lot of effort in this area of their life, probably to help financially their beloved ones, I'm hearing to help their parents, they are so focused in making money that they are not nurturing other aspects of their life like socializing, the good thing is that they don't seem to care about it. They got the hermit with two different decks, once upright and another time on reversed, it gives me the feeling that they feel very comfortable in their solitude but at the same time they are craving significative connections and a reason to get out of their isolation, for some reason they feel very exhausted but they can't sleep at night, they are like an owl, by night they seem to be more active even though they should be super tired because their work is exhausting (I'm writting this at 13:31 on my clock, maybe it's a relevant number for you or this connection). This person has some emotional issues that keeps them up at night, it's like they need these few extra hours of the day that they are taking from their resting time to relax when the rest of the world is quiet, maybe it's because they are far from home or because they miss their family, because this is related to their emotional world but for what I see here they are thinking too much about others and not about themselves and their mental peace. Anyway, this person is really attractive, for what I see in the cards, they have some not-so-secret admirers that are chasing them or looking desperately for their attention, whatever they are trying is not working with your person, your person seems to be an introvert or at least, they need to feel emotionally connected to something or someone to invest their energy fully on it, I could even say that they are a little shy when it comes to interact with other people. this person has an strong masculine energy, also I keep hearing the word resilient so this may be the most noticable trait about them, the thing here with the admirers is that they are chasing your person, like taking the masculine role but only for their outside appearance, your person seems to need something more to connect with someone and they prefer to court that to be courted. Right now they are closing chapters, there's a massive divine intervention in their life even if they are not aware of this, this is happening for their highest good because they need to get out of this hermit mode and start experiencing good things. They seem to be a little apathic and their lack of rest could be affecting their health too, even if they want it or not, a change is coming to align them, there will be a shift in their luck very soon, especially to help them financially because they seem to be struggling in this aspect. your person is really calmed and peaceful, very goal oriented and commited to what's important to them, you'll love the kind of person they are and the peace they'll bring to your life.
Your connection:
(Cards: deception, new love, this could be the one, playfulness/ girl with a snake, heartbroken, the phoenix, heart with a key, wedding rings)
Okay, your person had a very tough relationship with a toxic person that played with their heart and left them in the dust, this might be one of the reasons why they are avoiding so much human contact, especially with romantic interests, their heart is still recovering from this heartbreak. When you appear in their life, everything will trasform, it will be so magical and unexpected that they won't know what to do, you'll catch them off guard, everything will feel different with you, it's like they've been in a grey and clouded place and you appear to make the sun shine again in their life. This past relationship marked them but knowing you will make them realize that not everyone is the same, you will make them gain hope in love again, it will happen naturally and your relationship will be blossoming peacefully but with certainty, from the first moments they'll know that you are meant for them and will work to make you know it. This is a soulmate connection so you'll feel very comfortable with eachother like you know the other from a very long time, I see a lot of funny dates together, like an exhibition of some kind (I'm translating directly from google but I mean those places wih a ferris wheel, bumper cars, cotton candy and those places where you get a teddy bear if you drop all the bottle from the shelf, something that sort, please comment me the correct name of this lol). An important thing I see here is that your person might be shy at first and will try to make things the right way, not forcing anything, but what I like the most is that even though they have their heart wounded, they won't pay this pain with you, in fact, you'll be a reason to stop thinking about the past pain and focusing on the precious future you could share together, you'll ignite them faith in life, they'll find motivation again, they might even realize that they weren't as comfortable in their solitude as they wanted to project. I see a fast commitment, I also see that they will leave you the key of their home so you can stay there even when they are working, they'll try to make you part of their day to day life and will be very honest with your from the start, you can ask them anything and they will respond with all the truth, even if the truth doesn't leave them in good place, they want you to know every detail about them, you can also trust in them to share whatever you want, they will be super understanding and compassionate.
Signals:
(Tea leafs: sunrise, woman, feather, bull, desk, scissors, caterpillar)
By the moment you are about to meet your person, you'll be finding out the true intentions of a woman in your life, I don't know why but the energy of this woman gives me really bad vibe, like a two faced person, is someone that you should put distance with in order to protect your energy because in terms of love she could often have bad experiences and she will not be happy for you when you find your soulmate. There also this message of not sharing your ideas about the future, not just in love but about your goals or plans in work too, if you are thinking about initiate something by your own just keep it private for a while, or at least just share it with your closest ones because this woman or femenine energy around you don't what you to thrive. The good thing is that you got the card of the sunrise, so you'll be having a lot of new ideas that will lead you to find success, I'd suggest you to write down those ideas,take time to organize them and start implementing them in aries season, at the beggining of the spring, energies will be at your favor. For your person they'll be working really hard, there might be a chance for a rise or getting a higher position in their work field and they'll be focused into that, for others of you there might also be the chance that your person will be getting another job with a better salary, I'm getting especially this second option because your person seems to be very unhappy in their current job and they need better conditions, it also seems like there is some opposition from someone in their work and your person has to keep themselves in a defensive position to deal with it and they don't want this no more, they know they deserve a healthier work enviroment, maybe there's an abusive boss here. There's the possibility that you are really close to meet eachother because of the cards on tarot and this message so be aware of your surroundings because your person is closer than you imagine :)
Channeled messages: a puppy, sexy but don't know it, romantic dates, strong arms, meet them in a public place like a park, a market or a place with art or literature involved like museums or book stores, gift giving, a soft pink or white dress, night dates, overthinking, financial struggle, 999, 1333, virgo, scorpio, cancer and leo, might be seasons for you two meet or your person's sign.
Pile 2:
Who is your destined person?
(Cards: 9 of wands, 4 of swords, 7 of pentacles, 10 of pentacles, justice, death, world/ devil, justice, queen of pentacles, judgement, king of wands)
Okay, lets start saying that you know this person but never had anything romantic with them besides a crush for some of you, they are someone that is familiar to you, maybe you have talked at some point or is simplier than that and you follow them on social media or something that sort, you know eachother but there's almost any interaction between you two. I usually say on private readings when I see that the consultant know their person that Universe has a wicked sense of humor and sometimes, this person can be so random as your crush on primary school, someone you talked once in a party, a friend of a friend and those kind of things, so don't be dissapointed when you see that you know your person because many times, even though you know them, they can be the most random person you could ever imagine. Right now your person is going through some legal issues, it can be a divorce for some of you but for others it might be more related to an spiritual awakening where they are taking resposibility over things they have done in the past, like paying some karma and realizing why they are paying it. The good thing is that your person is closing a chapter, this awakening can be hard, because of the devil card, but it also will bring them a big relief and a change in their reality for the best, there's also a change in their way to face life. For what I see in the cards, your person is wealthy or well positioned in life, probably has a high position in their work field, for some they can work in something related to laws but is an enviroment with a lot of competition and stabs in the back, you have to be a little ruthless to thrive in that area, there's also a chance that they already have a child or kids near them, if you have children, your person will get along very well with your kid too. Your person has an strong temper, the good part of it is that they are very protective of what they love and don't mind getting into trouble if that means keeping their beloved ones safe. The not so good part is that they can be too impulsive and irrational when angry, their passionate spirit can take the best from them sometimes, they will be your total opposite so if you have a natural calmed and peaceful temper this pile is for you. Your person is someone brave, a natural extrovert with a lot of charisma, they can draw all the attention of a room to them just with an smile, they are also very sexy, physically they are extremely attractive, they could also be a Libra or Sagittarius sun sign. Your person hasn't been an angel in their past, even though they are a nice person with a good heart, it seems like they did ot take the best decitions in their past and now they are regreting some mistakes. They are really handsome and charming, I see they haven't faced rejection in their past and that has led them to be too confident, they are the kind of person who always gets what they want, do you know Dexter from the show One Day? your person reminds me of him in the good and the bad traits. Anyway, they recently had an experience that made them realize the path they were taking and they want a diferent direction, they don't feel fulfilled and knows that can get something better for themselves, they are also facing the consequences of their actions si they might need some extra time to get into your life.
Your connection:
(Cards: this could be the one, trust, children, worth waiting for/ talking, golden mirror, sword and rose, self indulgence, love call)
You'll share a very special bond, I see trust issues from both of you but at the moment you start something together those issues will fade, it's like your souls will recognize that you both are meant for eachother, feelings will bloom naturally. I see different scenarios for your pile so take what resonates with you, for the people who already know who this person is, the cards invite you to keep hopeful but patient, just trust the Universe and focus on your bussiness meanwhile your person puts their life in order and solve the issues they are currently dealing with, you deserve to enjoy their best version. For others of you who can't figure out yet who your person is, the cards have a similar meaning, to stay optimistic visualizing your ideal relationship, you'll have to wait a little more than the other piles because your person is dealing with issues they need to resolve before meeting you, again, you deserve to enjoy their best version, your vibration is very high so having your person right now in your life with their current circumstances could affect negatively your energy, so this wait is a divine protection for you. Things will start by flirting between both of you, maybe some casual dates at first but for what see in the cards, there's a lot of communication here and it makes sense because through communication trust gets reinforced and that's what you both need. You both will be very different but will have so much in common, your experiences in life or even your tastes or hobbies, your favorite artist or the kind of music you like, it will start by something simple but then you'll realize how similar you truly are, you will mirror eachother in every aspect, for some with an spiritual development I see this person is your twin flame. A nice thing a like about your person is that they will allow you to stay in your femenine energy, the card of self indulgence gives me the feeling that they'll provide for the things you like, just as an example, if you are into a saga of books but you don't have enough money to afford everyone of them so you go buy it one by one, your person will buy you all the saga so you can enjoy your hobbies. For some of you I even see that your person pays for your beauty treatments like getting your lashes or nails done. I see that they'll like to take a protective role with you, if you are easilly stressed, especially in regards of legal matters or burocracy, your person will take care of it so you don't have to worry, if you have any dream or goal you want to achieve your person will also provide you a safe space so you can develop it, especially for those of you who are into arts or something that involves creativity
Signals:
(Tea leafs: teapot, mule, wreath, shield, stork, wedge, heart)
Your signs to know when your person is about to enter your life will be a dissapointment with a friendship of your same sex, you might have an idea of who this person is because you have been seeing red flags from them in the past but you have turned a blind eye with them, especially in terms of stubborness and not wanting to change their habits. I'm getting that they are the kind to mourn and complain over things that they could easilly change, even you could have given them advices in the past but this person is unwilling to change for the better so you'll have to take them out of your life before your person comes. The tea leafs say that this won't be easy for you because you love and appreciate this person but by having them in your life you have to stay in a protective state, the shield warns you that you need to protect yourself from this person because they are consuming your energies. For your person, they'll be in a process of creating something new, I'm getting that it will be related to work, they'll be moving in silence because there's someone near them that don't want your person to be successful in this new project, anyway the project will thrive regardless of what other people try to mess with it. Your person will be just about to get their victory when they get in a deeper contact with you, they'll feel like things are getting better for them after everything they had to go through, you'll be like their ultimate victory. They'll know it's you because they'll feel safe by your side, having in mind that they are surrounded by snakes, getting in contact with you will feel for them like being in precence of angels.
Channeled messages: protect yourself from evil eye, black turmaline, long term relationship, karmic debts, late night conversations, a lot of sexual energy, love letters, release the old so the new can enter, the goddess Kali, law of attraction, subliminal audios, stay in your femenine energy, the bee and the flower, trust the process, 1111, 222, sagittarius, libra, scorpio
Pile 3:
Who is your destined person?
(Cards: queen of cups, king of pentacles, queen of pentacles, 3 of wands, fool, king of cups, 10 of pentacles/ ace of wands, 8 of pentacles rev, 5 of swords rev, judgement, emperor)
This person is your soulmate/twin flame, they are your divine counterpart so you will notice it from the very first moment you meet them. Getting into who your person is, they come from a wealthy background, their family seem to be very rich to say the least, they have been a pampered child all their life, in fact, if they work is because they want to not because they need to. Your person has been raised by parents that are soulmates so they know what true love is and knows that they want that type of connection for them too, they are a romantic and are not afraid to express it, they are also very well mannered so expect them to be chilvalrous with you, they are a true gentleman. They are so open to love that is overwhelming, they fantazise an daydream a lot about you, how you look, your way to walk and your smell, they have you so much in their head but they feel frustration not knowing who you are and when you will appear, they look for you everywhere they go and in every person they meet, yu cold even feel their energy calling you, if you have romantic dreams with someone but you can see their face clearly it is your person calling you in, you can intuitively feel them, I'm also getting that if you are able to see the face of someone familiar to you in dreams like a famous person just check that person you dream about because they might reselble the characteristics of your person. They have a melancholic soul, like a poet from another century, they are very deep and emotional, they have so much love inside they want to offer but they feel frustrated because they don't find the right person to share it with, they don't want only to share love they want someone to share all their life with, they feel like they already have it all to live a happy life but there's this missing peace of wanting to share all their abundance with someone else. There's this phrase of the movie 'into the wild' (my favourite movie ever <3) that says 'happiness is only real when it's shared', I feel that your person resonates a lot with this phrase, they have people they love around but they crave a romantic connection to create a family with, btw, they are really into marriage and family, they also like children and animals and they love your person too. Your person has a sensitive heart and the pain of their solitude has led them to get involved with people with superficial intentions or toxic behaviors, mostly because of your person's money, they had a relationship in the past that left them feeling empty and that's why now they are giving themselves time to be alone and with their family, I see they have siblings that are playing a major role into your person's emotional healing. Idk if you'll know about this book, it's called fallen hearts by V.C Andrews, it is part of the Casteel saga but the character that reminds me of your person appears on the second book, his name is Troy Tatterton, I suggest you to read it or let me know if you already know them :). I also see that your person has traveled a lot, for some of you, you could even live at distanced places where you'd had to travel to see eachother, it may be in one of your person's journeys where they finally meet you.
The connection:
(Cards: true love, getting to know eachother, playfulness, wedding/ casette, hammer, camera, separation, twin flames)
Oh goddess, this is so beautiful it makes me want to cry! If it was up to your person they would marry you as soon as they meet you, after all their painful journey, when you appear in their life they'll feel like the skies will open up only for them, they'll know it's you and will court you from the very first moment, they will be flirty but charming at the same time, I see you'll feel the same too. Even though that feelings will be intense at first, you both will make the effort to get to know eachother on deeper levels to check your chemistry and compatibility, everything will feel light and easy, you'll get along super well, they'll make you feel like you are in a safe place, if you are naturally introverted they'll make you feel protected and, in case you are an hyper independent person, you'll feel like you can finally relax and release some of the weight over your shoulders. At some point you'll have distance between you two but it won't separate you, I see you will make the best of every moment you spend together and, after a little time your person will offer you a seious commitment so you can start your life together as a couple, it might also be a soon engagement. I see that you'll be watching the pictures and videos you make together, especially if decide to travel, I see a fancy cabin near a forest where you are staying together to spend some alone time with nobody else there to bother you. The time you spend separated will play a major role for you two to decide that you want to be together forever, I see that your person will have a harder time being away from you, that's why they won't hesitate at the moment of offering you commitment, probably they give you a promise ring or tell you to get married, it will happen sooner than usual but both of you will feel certain about this relationship and what you want from it, you'll fit like puzle pieces and you'll both will understand why things didn't work with anybody else in the past.
Signals:
(Tea leafs: gong, key, shark, caterpillar, dagger, camel, unicorn, carriage)
For you, you'll be receiving good news about something you have done, it will be something exciting for you, a successful outcome for something you put a lot of effort in, you could even celebrate it with your close ones because this will make you very happy. There's a little warning for you about being responsible with your money but also I see you could loose something important like a jewel or something with big material value like a phone or something that sort, so if you suddently loose soemthing important take it as a sign that your person is about to enter your life. For your person I'd confirm what I said before about the trip, the carriage means a journey either be a mental or physical but I feel that it's a trip for vacation. This journey is because they have been through a period of worries and stress, they just have solved a problem before making this trip, this solution will involve some changes in their life that will align them with their highest good so, overcoming this obstacle will finally lead them to you, their most desired wish. They'll be taking a time to release all the tension they've been holding, it is surely oon holidays so check the calendar just in case, they'll be with more people in this journey, probably their siblings, your meeting will be something spontaneous, neither of you will be expetiing it
Channeled messages: Water sign, earth moon sign, family money, colors red and green, divine counterparts, white doves and sunflowers, many options in love, send you romantic phrases or pictures that reminds them of you, settle down, a midset change, aries season, 777, 1818
Pile 4:
Who is your destined person?:
(Cards: knight of wands, 10 of cups, moon, queen of pentacles, 8 of pentacles, knight of swords/ 7 of cups rev, 9 of swords, queen of pentacles, fool, empress)
Your person got the queen of pentacles repeated with two different tarot decks, this gives me the feeling that they feel plenty with the current direction of their life, with the 10 of cups I'd confirm that they feel happy and fulfilled and everything is working out for your person. Besides that luck is on their side naturally, your person has fought to be in the place they are right now, they are following their passion and vocation and being loyal to their heart has lead them to success and recognition, they are also very optimistic and knows how to see the good side of things at every situation. Your person reminds me of Eli from Boy swallows universe (please watch the show, it's awesome and you'll love Eli), your person is brave, independent and resourceful, even daring sometimes, they are loyal to their truth and their heart, in fact I see they can be a little obsessed with finding out the truth of things so they could even be into conspiracy theories or things that sort. Your person is a wanderer, a curious soul but with a grounded spirit, they can be wild sometimes but they know their own limits and knows when to stop, they are really down to earth and mature on the important matters but very lighthearted and spontaneus when the ocassion requires it. They have been through seriouus things in the past, they may have some unresolved heavy trauma they didn't gave themselves the chance to solve it so they might act reckless sometimes, but the good thing is that they have an strong moral compass and value system they keep loyal at every moment, betray their values would feel like betraying themselves and that's something they don't want to go through. Your person can be an unintentional heartbreaker, they don't want to hurt anybody's feelings but it's easy for people to catch feelings for your person, is something about their aura or their energy, they are so warm and gentle that everybody feels drawn to them and can't help but develop feelings for them, they are easy to be loved. Your person is really smart, they could be air dominant in their chart because they also seem like having a talent with words or being a great communicator, they are also very funny so expect to laugh a lot with them, they might be younger than you or it's simply that they have a youthful energy, whatever it is they have this childlike energy that makes them lovely. Your person has this golden retirever energy that everyone likes, they are also very friendly and seems to have it easy to create friendships with other people, their sense of humor is a plus on this aspect too, they are a sweetheart with a loving heart but they are also very hard working and commited to what they think is right, you'll feel super comfortable by their side, even though they could be younger they will give off very mature and reliable energy.
The connection:
(Cards: Keep an open mind, retreat, flirt, love yourself first, chemistry/ the sword and rose, girl talk, cupid's arrow, sunglasses, engagement ring)
Okay, at first they might not be your usual type or the kind of person you would be interested in, for some, your person could be younger than you and that could be a turn off for you. Your connection will bloom progressively by creating a friendship first, besides the fact that your person will be very into you from the very first moment, they'll prefer to respect your times and show you they are worthy of your love, they will feel like they are out of your league for some reason. You might run from them at a certain moment because you get confused with your emotions, especially for those of you reading this that are a water moon, you'll need some time to reflect on your emotions and realize that there's an inmense chemistry between you two, maybe this distance you take serves you as a reassurance of how drawn you feel to this person, they'll have a bad time with this retreat but for you will be very healing and enlightning. I see that there's a female or dominant femenine energy in your life you trust so much, that person is very reliable and wise, don't doubt to ask them for advice because she will bring you clarity about the situation, I'm glad to say that you have an amazing support system, count on that female friend when you need mental clarity because she will be very honest, for some of you this person could be a sister. During this separation you might think that your person is focused into their bussiness but they'll be into stalker mode (positively, of course), checking up on you, they might even ask someone close to you how you are doing just to know about you, they'll also be checking your social media to know about you, they won't do it in a creepy way, they'll feel the same pull to you but they have a harder time trying to contain their emotions, the good thing is that you seem to be very intuitive so you'll know when their energy is trying to approach you. They'll be so in love with you, it feels like they fell first but you'll fall harder after a while, you both are soulmates so, even though you'll try to fight your feelings, you can't help but fall for this person, and after you see how much they are willing to offer and their true esence you'll fall for them (I'm writting this at 15:15 on my clock in case it's a relevant number for you). They'll wear their heart on their sleeve, they'll be very protective of you and won't allow any disrispect to you, they can be cutthroating if anybody tries to mess with you, tey'll feel so honnoured by you focusing on them that they will try to make you the happiest person ever everyday of your life, they can't believe their luck by finding a person like you and receiving love from you, this connection will be an equal give and take, you both will do everything for the other to make them happy.
Signals:
(Tea leafs: dolphin, windchimes, fox, broken ring, bull, needle and thread, ant, table)
For you, you'll be in a very nice moment of your life when you are about to meet your person, you'll be receiving a big amount of money because of something you did in the past, like a material reward. This material abundance will give you a feeling of peace and relief, you have the chance to have some vacations or free time by yourself, I see you a little secretive about this, like you don't want anybody to ruin this good time, you may also be silent about the amount of money you receive. For your person, they'll be dettaching from someone or something, the broken ring is usually associated with romance but I feel it more related to bussiness so they might be changing their job for a healthiest enviroment (if you felt called to pile 1 I suggest you to check it), it seems like their current work field is forcing your person to sacrifice themselves and keeps them in a defensive position. They'll have to work hard but it will bring them stability and security.
Channeled messages: Acts of service, getting a pet together, a cat person, sleep problems, full moons affect their mood, white horses and moths, vivid dreams, sitcoms, a lot of laugh, mental fog, meditation, 1212, 444, taurus, gemini, aquarius

dextrocardia | 13
Dextrocardia. Originally a medical term, but also a way to describe someone who's got their heart in the right place.
"She's been moved to another operation to help out. This pairing is necessary because you'll be undercover as spouses. I know you two can be professional about this."
"What?!" It's Jeongguk's upset voice that sounds, and for once, you share his displeased opinion.
Spouses.
pairing:Â cop!jk x f detective!reader
genre:Â undercover cops, fake marriage, e2l au, angst, fluff, (smut?)
word count:Â 6k

<previous | next>
© dextrocardia is copyright jeonstudios. this fic can not be modified, re-posted, or translated without my permission.
It keeps raining, and two hours later when itâs hitting the roof in a calm rhythm, you enter the garage through the open door. Rock music sounds from a speaker but itâs overshadowed by the powerful hits of Jeonggukâs gloved hands against the sandbag hanging from the mount. Heâs foregone a shirt, his sweat-covered muscles glistening.
âYou call that âtaking it easy?ââ you call out, notifying him of your presence.
He stops his punches, turning to face you with his hand steadying the bag.
âHuh?â he questions, chest heaving.
âI said: âyou call that taking it easy?ââ
He smiles, very out of breath. âI didnât say âeasy,â just easier than what Iâm used to.â
You shake your head, venturing further into the garage and reaching the bike.
âHow do you even get on this thing? Itâs so tall?â you wonder skeptically out loud as you trace the black leather seat with your fingers. Itâs definitely a lot taller and wider than just an ordinary bicycle.
Jeongguk steps away from the sandbag, loosening the gloves with his teeth as he heads your way, heavy breaths echoing. You follow him with your eyes as he approaches, but instead of demonstrating like you thought he would, he stops behind you.
âHere,â he places his hands under your armpits.
âOh, no, no, no,â you try to protest, but itâs too late, and youâre already being lifted onto the seat like a three-year-old.
You definitely also feel like a three-year-old because you donât even try to reach for the handlebars, instead holding onto the little hill in front of the seat. It probably goes without saying that your feet donât wholly touch the ground.
âWe could go for a ride someday if you want?â
You turn your head to look at his grinning face.
âUh... no.â
âWhat, you donât trust me?â
You see the realization of what he just asked flash across his face, but you know it wasnât how he meant it.
âYou donât seem to value your life very much, no,â you argue, hinting at how he almost died for you.
His face turns relieved, a small smile decorating his lips. âI do. But sometimes, there might be risks Iâm willing to take.â
Itâs your turn to not know exactly what to say, so you're quick to ask something else instead. You lean forward, actually managing to grab the handlebars somewhat correctly. âDo I look cool?â
Jeonggukâs smile widens, âAbsolutely. Even more so if you had the appropriate gear.â
âSo⊠highway patrol? Car or one of these things?â
âOne of these things,â he chuckles. âIt was exciting, especially car chases really got your blood pumping. Although I think my mom was in a constant state of a heart attack. And the chases didnât happen that often; most of the time, it was just writing tickets, and I wanted to make more of a difference.â
âUnderstandable. Your mom, I mean.â
âYeah. Also, who told you?â he narrows his eyes playfully.
âJimin. He told me absolutely everything there is to know about you. All your secrets.â
âNice try; I donât have any secrets.â
You wonder to yourself how true that really is.
Youâve managed to keep your mind busy and occupied during the day, but when night time rolls around and the rain has only increased, youâre feeling a little anxious.
Standing outside the door to your room and staring at the handle, you donât notice Jeongguk.
âYou know, I donât mind you sleeping with me.â
You lift your head, meeting his eyes. Heâs shirtless again, looking as if he just came from the kitchen. Should you? Last night was very cozy, and if you're being honest with yourself, you liked it a lot. Probably more than you should. You felt⊠safer.
You hesitate.
âItâs up to you, but Iâll leave the door open.â
He prepares to leave, but youâre quick to make up your mind.
âNo, I, um⊠Iâll just go and change, first?â
Giving you a soft nod, he leaves for his bedroom.
It takes you five minutes to change into a large t-shirt and some shorts and to wash up, and when you enter through the open door, closing it behind you, Jeongguk is folding a pair of pants to hang over a chair. You wonât pretend that you donât let your eyes quickly skim over his shirtless body as he moves, your heart skipping a beat or maybe two.
âIs that the ring you wore during the mission?â you ask, watching him turn, first to face you and then to look at the object in question on his nightstand.
âYeah.â
âWhy did you keep it?â
He shrugs as he approaches the other side of the bed, the same side he slept on yesterday. âI donât know. I wore it, then the hospital put it in one of those bags with my other belongings while they took me into surgery. Took the whole bag home, put the ring there. Didnât wear it because⊠well, weâre not married, but I didnât want to get rid of it.â
âHm, okay,â you accept what sounds like a reasonable explanation.
Jeongguk lifts the duvet, getting into the bed while watching you. âYou didnât keep yours?â
âDonât know what happened to it, but it was fake and pretty much worthless, soâŠâ
âOuch,â Jeongguk says, clutching his chest.
âOkay, first of all, you just said we werenât married. And there was no material worth to it. Second, your heart is on the other side.â
Smoothlyâand definitely making you giggle while you follow his lead and get into bedâhe switches hands to hold the right side of his chest instead. You guess itâs a learning curve.
âOuch,â he repeats, âJust tell me if you want a divorce.â
Itâs with a big smile that you get comfortable, pulling the white duvet up to your chin as you lay on your side, facing the nightstand.
You feel Jeongguk move around a bit too.
âI think the rainâs gonna let up tomorrow,â he mumbles. âItâs been a while since it was this⊠persistent.â
âYeah⊠Thank you for letting me sleep here. It feels⊠better to not be alone.â
âItâs no problem; I donât mind.â
Silence falls after that. You listen to the rhythmic beat of raindrops hitting the roof, trying to slow your breaths and heartbeat enough to fall asleep. Although you donât feel as anxious anymore, it still doesnât happen.Â
Minute by minute ticks by, and you donât know if Jeongguk is asleep or not.
âIt was raining,â you say, your voice barely louder than a whisper. âThat night when we followed a suspect into a hotel bar.â
You take a breath, listening to the silence of the room, half expecting Jeongguk to stop you. But he doesnât; maybe because heâs asleep? So you continue quietly, revisiting a memory.
âHe stayed there for quite a few hours, so we did as well. We were hoping heâd lead us to his brother so we could arrest both of them for arms trafficking. Hoseong ordered us beer, more so for appearances, but still, and we talked while we kept an eye on the man and waited for him to leave. I remember that we talked about another case weâd just solved, and Hoseong was going on and on about how smart he thought I was and how glad he was to have me as his partner. I was smiling ear to ear, thinking that I was so incredibly lucky, getting to work with and learn from someone who truly saw me. When the suspect instead got a room there for the night, we did as well, figuring it would be more comfortable than sitting in the car all night.â
Itâs still quiet, but it feels cathartic to get it out, regardless if Jeongguk is awake to hear it or not. While you've unfortunately noticed more similarities between him and Hoseong than you'd like--like their dark, expressive eyes--Jeongguk feels... different.
âWe were meant to do shifts, always have the door open just a sliver so weâd notice if he left. We took our jackets off and Hoseong placed his stuff on the bedside table. Since it was summer, I was wearing a t-shirt and a skirt with my gun strapped to my thigh under it, and so I put the gun in the pocket of my jacket. When I turned around⊠he kissed me. I was caught by surprise, but I⊠I kissed him back at first because⊠Well, I loved him. But then I tried to step back to tell him that we really shouldnât, that we needed to be alert and ready to follow if the suspect left. But he didnât listen.â
You pause, feeling the pain and the fear from that day all over again, your skin turning cold. Thereâs movement behind you, and an arm is slowly and gently draped across your middle, grasping your freezing hand. It makes you feel something, peering down at his hand and the tattoos covering his skin. Heâs very warm, and he feels like heâs⊠stable. Like he has roots growing into the ground that makes him unshakeable. Meanwhile, youâre a leaf; at the mercy of everyone and everything. Easy to blow away, to rip to shreds, to stomp flat to the sound of your bones crunching.
âHe held my jaw so tight, I couldnât speak, and he told me that Iâd been teasing him all day in the skirt and that I should be happy because he knew that I loved him. Said I should just suck it up and put out. He⊠â you go quiet, unsure of how many details youâre willing to relive.Â
Does Jeongguk need to know every step you were pushed toward the bed, how he threw you onto it and got on top of you while you fought? How he unzipped his pants and how he violated you? He probably doesnât.
âHe used his handcuffs and cuffed my hands around the metal bed frame. I tried toâŠ. He said heâd kill me if I screamed.â You remember his hushed yet furious voice in your ear, remember knowing how it was going to end, how heâd kill you right then and there.
âI donât know if he did it at first because he enjoyed it or if he realized right away that he would need to get rid of me, but he put both his hands around my neck and squeezed as hard as he could. I pulled my hands so violently that I dislocated a thumb, but⊠I got one out. So I tried to stop him, but he was too strong, using all his body weight. My nails on his skin didnât faze him, and I was losing consciousness. At the very last secondâwhile my vision was turning spottyâI managed to grab the gun from his holster. I aimed it for his thigh and pulled the trigger. He let go. Somehow, I managed to get him off me, and⊠out of me⊠but I could barely see or breathe, and there was blood everywhere.
âHe swore at me, and I think he tried to get up but couldnât, so he reached for his phone, and I ran for the door as best I could. But what was I supposed to do? Call the cops? What do you think he was doing? I heard him ask our coworkers for help, and I knew. They were coming to help him. So I stood there, in the hall of a shitty hotel, with no car keys, no phone, and nowhere to go, while his back-up was mere minutes away.
âThen, someone down the hall opened their door. It was a young woman, and she peeked out, looked at me where I stood, a shaky, bloody, wheezy mess, and she came and pulled me inside right before the police exited the elevator. I managed to say that we were all law enforcement, but I didnât need to tell her that theyâd kill me off if they found me because we heard Ryungâs voice through the door, telling the rest to find me and make me⊠pay.
âI donât know if Iâve ever been as scared as I was when they knocked on her door. She gestured for me to get inside the bathroom, and I did, watching as she pulled a bathrobe around her body, turning most of the lights off and opening the door to pretend like sheâd just woken up. I heard them ask for me, and I heard her politely tell them that no, she hadnât seen a woman or noticed any commotion. But I saw how her hand trembled behind the door, and I thought the whole time that they knew and were just waiting to push their way inside to get me. But they didnât. Instead, they left. Shaken, she sat with me on the bathroom floor as I cried, and she helped me clean up a bit and loaned me some of her clothes before she helped me to the hospital across the city border. I stayed the night to have my injuries tended to and documented and a kit done, and the next day, I went to that cityâs station to file a report. A female officer helped me, and sheâs the only one Iâve told most of this stuff to. Well, except for you now, but I take it you read the report? And the station⊠you werenât working that day, but it was your station, wasnât it?â
âYeah,â comes a strained mumble, and you feel him hug you just a bit tighter.
You stare at the wall, feeling both anxious and numb. âIt changes you, having someone do that to you. All my life, Iâve known, theoretically speaking, that thereâs a risk. A man, anywho, anywhere, anytime, can decide that I donât get to live anymore. But to experience it, to see the intentions in his eyes, and how heâs⊠deciding⊠and not being able to do anything about it. It changes you. Itâs always there, the feeling of helplessness.â âIâŠâ Sounding like he wants to say something but canât find the words, Jeongguk lets silence fall again.Â
âYou donât know what to say, do you?â you smile a sad smile to yourself. âNo.â âItâs alright, you donât need to say anything, I just thought Iâd tell you.â
You feel him move closer while also gently pulling you back toward him. You roll back, finding yourself inches away from him where he lies, head supported by his hand and looking down at you. âIâm just⊠furious, and frustrated, and I wish so badly that Iâd been there to help you. If I had just transferred earlier⊠maybe I couldâve prevented it, or stopped it, or even just caught him and helped you get your justice. Instead, I came along and made it worse.â
You find yourself so lost in him. In the warmth of his body thatâs thawing the entirety of yours, and in his kind brown eyes. You canât believe heâs the same person who took every chance he could to hurt you as recently as a few months ago. He just⊠looks so sweet.
âYou know, you look like a little kid when youâre sleepingâ you smile, watching Jeongguk slowly open his eyes, looking a little confused. âYouâre also always up before me, so Iâve rarely seen you asleep. Iâm not really a morning person.â
The moment he comes to properly, he smiles lazily and rolls his eyes half-heartedly. âIâm not a morning person either, actually,â he explains, his voice lower and raspier than usual.
âThen why are you always awake so early?â
He looks at you as if heâs not sure what to say. âCause⊠I have⊠stuff to do?â
âOkayâŠâ
Jeongguk doesnât address the suspicion in your voice, instead, he stretches his arms over his head. The duvet moves, exposing his chest and the scar to your eyes.
Letting your fingertip hover just above it, you look back at his still very sleepy face. âDid you really never know about your organs being mirrored?â
âNo,â he yawns.Â
âBut⊠how? Didnât you ever have your heart and lungs listened to?â
âI did, but apparently, itâs not too much of a different sound. Sure, my heart beat would have sounded a bit fainter from my left side but itâs such a rare condition that there was no real use investigating further. I had a heart that beat in the right rhythm and no other symptoms so that was enough, I guess,â he shrugs.
âCan I listen?â you bite your lip hopefully.
He raises his eyebrows, âTo my heart?â
You nod enthusiastically
âBuy me dinner first, why donât you?â
Rolling your eyes, you feel warm. You meet his gaze and slowly lower your head to his chest while moving your hair out of your face.
His skin feels nice against the side of your face, his chest moving up and down under you slowly, and you hear it. Itâs strong, rhythmic, butâŠ
âAre you sure youâre fine, though?â you ask, turning a little more serious, âItâs beating kinda⊠fast?â
Surely a fit guy like Jeongguk has a slower resting heart rate?Â
âYouâre also, you know, listening to my heart,â he says, like itâs supposed to mean something?
Wait. Is he⊠Is he implying that you listening to his heart is making it race? That canât be true, can it?
You lift your face off of his chest, and for a moment, youâre just looking at each other softly, curiously. His black hair is a little messy, but he looks so warm, and youâ.
His phone rings.
Jeongguk sighs but reaches for it where it lies on his nightstand, his eyes widening when he reads the screen. âShit, I gotta take this.â
He throws the duvet off of him and gets up as he answers the call, and you see him in just his shorts as he disappears out of the room with the phone to his ear.
Following his lead, you rise from the bed, but instead of going wherever Jeongguk disappeared to, you head into your room to throw on a hoodie and some sweatpants. While alone, you take a moment to think about last night. You werenât actually planning on talking about it. You never have, not in that much detail, although you definitely left some things out. And while it feels⊠hard, it also feels⊠better? Or, like youâre at least not too scared of him looking at you weirdly or saying it was your fault. Or even worse, like you opened his eyes how easy it was to render you entirely helplessâŠ
Quietly, you enter the kitchen, spotting Jeongguk standing at the counter with the tray of cupcakes you made together in front of him. Heâs wearing a dark green t-shirt now.
He places the phone between his raised shoulder and ear as he peels a wrapper off, âcan you ask them to mail copies of the documents to the station? And how did it go, did you manage to reach the mechanic?â
You watch him as he listens to whoeverâs on the other side, putting half a cupcake in his mouth. âMhm, no, no, just book whatever time sheâs available. We can meet at the station if she wants to come in or I can go to her. Same for the hotel staff.âÂ
Is he⊠looking into your case again? Like, thoroughly following up on all leads and with all possible witnesses? You definitely know itâs not because of what you told him last night; he mustâve decided to do it priorly.
His eyes find you as he listens intently to what the voice has to say. You take a few steps, coming to stand next to him, smiling softly at how cute he looks when heâs multitasking. With one hand, he lifts the other end of the cupcake to you. You take it, watching him as he looks off into the distance absentmindedly. âAlright, thank you.â
You pop the piece into your mouth, chewing it while making a note to definitely bake more.
He ends the call and puts the phone down on the counter. âThese are actually really good,â he says, putting his frosting-covered fingertip to his mouth.
You smile, admiring him and all heâs done and is doing for you. A little overcome with emotions, you place your hand on his shirt, pulling it down slowly at the collar and him toward you. He looks curious, but you focus on his lips. Biting your own, you try not to let the fear of rejection win, and you stand on your toes, and you kiss him carefully.
Itâs brief, and itâs sweet, and you canât help but smile when your heels touch the floor again.
âThank you.â
He blinks, looking happy but surprised.
âWhat?â you chuckle a little nervously when he doesnât say anything.
âNothing. I just⊠wasnât sure you actually liked me. Like, at all.â
You tilt your head, listening to him as he continues.
âI know that we kissed that time on the hammock, but we probably werenât on the same page then, were we? Cause I thought we were, that we were alone and that we had something, but you⊠you played along because there were people watching, right? You were still acting while I wasnât.â
You havenât thought a lot about that moment, embarrassed about what happened and how you reacted, but heâs right. You were acting. You werenât sure he was, but if he really wasnât⊠What were his motives that night?
âYeah, but you kinda literally took a sword to the heart for me later, and youâve been really, really kind and sweet to me ever since.â
He grabs another cupcake, chewing a piece of it with a look on his face that tells you heâs⊠planning something. You wait, expecting him to say something but he just smiles and lifts the other piece to your mouth. Before you can even decide whether to take a bite or not, he nudges the cupcake against your mouth, getting streaks of frosting across your lips.
âWhat theâŠâ
But he grins, puts the cupcake down, and smiles in a way that lets you know this was exactly what he wanted. Putting his fingers under your chin to lift your head, he leans down to kiss you. You hold your breath, feeling his soft lips against yours again.
He tastes of frosting and racing heart beats, and youâre pretty sure your cheeks are warmer than usual.
âYou donât need to thank me for that.â
And you feel warm, almost ecstatic, but also like youâve⊠forgotten something.
The day after, Jeongguk receives a call that has him hurriedly looking through the house for the keys to his bike, rushing off somewhere after telling you that heâll probably be back in a few hours. âA few hoursâ is too vague to really tell you anything, and youâre so used to not asking questions that you donât think to.
While heâs gone, you decide to start the dishwasher, and youâve come to learn that Jeongguk always has at least one mug in his office that heâll keep refilling with coffee way too many times without washing.
Approaching the office, youâre not surprised to see the door to it ajar. Itâs rarely closed, and itâs almost like it signifies the transparency between you. Jeongguk doesnât say much about the case, but itâs not because you canât know; itâs because he knows you donât want to know.Â
Or didnât want to know. As youâre standing in the quiet room, his blue mug in your hand, you see a disheveled stack of papers. Usually, you wouldâve walked past it, or maybe even re-stacked it neatly before walking past it.Â
This time, Hoseongâs name catches your eye. Of course, itâs not weird considering itâs Jeonggukâs main case, but you still find yourself staring at the printed letters.Â
Three hours after he left, Jeongguk unlocks his front door, opening it and stepping inside. He sighs at how the people he despises most on the planet always just seem to slip out of his grasp. But when inside, he finds himself easily letting go of that thought and instead thinking about something that has him smiling to himself.
With his shoes and jacket off, he begins his search, expecting to find you either in the living room or your bedroom and getting confused when you arenât. He peers inside the kitchen and even puts his head into his own bedroom, almost starting to get worried when youâre nowhere to be seen.
Heâs about to visit the second bathroom when he passes his office, seeing movement from within the small sliver in the doorway.
âThere you are,â he comments happily as he opens the door wider, looking around and taking a moment to process what heâs seeing. âI almost thought youâd evaporated.â
You look up from the floor, where youâre sitting with a bunch of papers spread out in front of you, Jeonggukâs empty cup beside you.
âThese are the ones youâre observing?â you ask, lifting a paper toward him, a pen wedged between your index and middle finger.
He takes it from you, quickly reading a summary of months of hard work. âMhm.â
âOkay,â you say, looking at another paper in your hand, twirling the pen absentmindedly in your other, âI think I have some suggestions.â
After spending hours and hours with Jeongguk, having him explain the progress theyâve made and who theyâre investigating, you take a step back to look at the post-its on the living room wall. It has all the fugitivesâ relatives, their friends, coworkers, neighborsâŠ. everyone. Since neither of the four men have used their card nor phone, they mustâve almost certainly gotten help, but from who?
You sink down onto the soft cushions of Jeonggukâs couch with a tired sigh, reaching for the remote and smiling when thereâs a rerun of a zombie movie.
Jeongguk follows your lead, spreading out as well. âYou wanna like⊠hold hands or something? Cause I could do with a good hand-holding.â
You canât help but let out a laugh, feeling your chest warm from the inside. Itâs so easy for him to make you all giddy, forgetting about all of your pains and worries. Or almost all of them, at least.
Still, you nod, and your smile grows when he scoots closer to you and takes your hand in his warm one.
Even as he directs his focus toward the TV, you keep yours on him. On his tired yet still bright, dark eyes, his nose, the faint hollowness under his cheekbones, and his mouth. His hair is just calling out for you to run your fingers through, but you stand your ground, settling for getting to hold his hand.Â
âWhat?â he asks, smiling cheekily at you.
âYou asked to hold my hand?â you remind, moving his hand between the two of yours, tracing the veins on the back of it.
âYeah?â
âItâs cute. You buy flowers and hold hands and open doors.â
Surely, a guy like him canât exist, right?
âI do. Which reminds me, you were just giving my flowers away?â
He looks at you, faking hurt. Slowly, and with your heart beating hard to nourish the butterflies growing in your stomach, you intertwine your fingers with his. âI didnât know they were from you; there was never a card or anything.â
âFine.â
Seemingly accepting your short answer, Jeongguk watches the movie with you for a while in silence, your head coming to rest against the top of his arm. You keep his hand between yours, trying to stay cool despite how being this close to him affects you. There are definitely some sort of butterflies.
âYou know what Iâve been thinking about as well?â he mumbles quietly after a while.
âNo?â
âAt the barbeque, the guy that you were talking to? Who was that? And what did he say?â
You search your mind for a second before it comes back to you; the tall, handsome man who approached you. âI donât know. He said his name was Haneul, but I donât think he lived there. I think I heard something about someone having their cousin over or something like that, so I think that was him. Donât think I saw him again.â
âAnd what did he say to you? You didnât lookâŠ. very happy.â
You recall the way he felt⊠off and how he wasted absolutely no time, insulting your husband and offering to take his place. You definitely remember the unfunny feeling of actually wanting to have a rude Jeongguk around just to keep Haneul away.
âUh, he hit on me.â
âDid you say you were married?â
You scoff. âYeah, but he didnât seem to mind. Basically accused you of lacking in bed and offering to take your place in secret.â
âWhat?â Jeongguk asks, sounding surprised. âHe didnât look that ballsy to me?â
âIt was before he saw how intimidating you are.â
âIâm glad it seemed like I scared him off then. If he was bothering you?â
âYeahâŠâ
âSo why didnât you tell me? When I asked about him? I wouldâve kept an even closer eye on you.â
That, you donât have to search your mind for. You remember very clearly how scared you were that Jeongguk would laugh. Or that he wouldnât even believe you because after all, why would anyone hit on someone like you? Especially a man who looked like Haneul because creep or not, he was handsome. Like so often, you fill with shame. Embarrassment for who you are and how you look. Itâs been surprisingly easy to not focus as much on it, but it will always be at the back of your mind, and this is just a painful reminder.
âI⊠didnât think youâd believe me.â
He squeezes your hand, and you hear and feel him sigh sadly. âIâm sorry for being so mean to you and for being such an overall disappointment. I want to think that I sensed that you were scared and thatâs why I kept an eye on you after and asked you about it. But I couldnât even tell that you were afraid of me as well, so I donât know, honestly.â
âItâs fineâŠâ
âNo, itâs not. I guess I hope your future real husband will be better than your fake one,â he jokes in an attempt to lift the mood.
âOh. Iâm not⊠I donât think the possibilities of me getting married are very big.â
âOh? Because you donât like⊠men?â
You nearly snort. Honestly, yeah, all of your problems and issues could be summarized into that short sentence.
âYeah. Unfortunately, Iâm not interested in marrying a woman, but Iâm not⊠Iâve never had a relationship of any kind with a manâthat went deeper than acquaintancesâwhich didn't leave me hurt in one way or another. And I donât want to do that anymore.â
âI know you said your dadâs an ass, and I know what happened with Hoseong and us guys at the station, but what⊠If you want to talk about it, what elseâŠ?â
âWho else has hurt me, you mean? Itâs complicated, I guess.âÂ
You look down at your intertwined hands, how Jeonggukâs looks so big between yours.Â
You sigh at the memory of how⊠non mind-blowing your relationships have been so far. Most guys youâve dated havenât made even the slightest of efforts for your birthdayâif they even remembered itâor to plan dates of any kind after the first honeymoon months. Youâve tried, but with many men, it feels more like they want a live-in maid, who provides sex. It's definitely a conscious effort, how you try not to match Jeongguk to what your younger self dreamed of in a man.
âYou remember⊠at the house? When you said you loved your ex, and I laughed because youâre a man and not capable of love?â
âYeah.â
âI think that sums it up. My dad didnât care for my mom or me, he only returned when his new, younger girlfriendsâwhose bodies werenât ruined by childbearingâgrew tired of his disrespectful, old ass. He knew that she still loved him, and he took advantage of that. I guess I was a little weary around men from a young age after that, but still hopeful that there could be good men out there too. Then I started dating and noticed pretty quickly that⊠I wasnât really important like Iâd hoped. I wanted datesâeven just a picnic in the park occasionallyâand I guess I took birthday celebrationsâof any kindâfor granted. One guy got me a bunch of candy he knew I didnât like, so he could eat it himself, and another guy entirely forgot it was my birthday even though his was ten days before, and I got him a relatively expensive watch heâd been wanting. One guy did take me out to eat at a pretty nice restaurant, but he was also shamelessly checking out the waitress right in front of me. I saw my friends be treated the same way, and we all just⊠kept trying. One of my friends was in a relationship for four years, and he was a real sweetheart; made time for her, got her flowers, gave her compliments, all that. Then she discovered heâd been cheating since day one. It wasnât until Hoseong that I truly decided it wasnât worth it.â
âYou shouldnât give up hope.â
âItâs easy for you to say, Jeongguk. Youâre a man. Your fellow men look out for you and women still care for you. And to be honest⊠like I said, what happened to me⊠itâs not something you just move past. Wherever I go, I know that practically every man I meet on the street could decide to hurt me just because he wants to. And it would be up to him, the fate of my entire life is in the hands of every random guy I pass. If he wanted to kill me, there isnât much I could do. Not only do I know that theoretically speaking, most of them are stronger than me and donât care what happens to me, but I know the feeling of having it happen.â
âI understand,â he assures softly, squeezing your hand, âI didnât mean it in a âget over itâ way, just that I know there are men out there who would treat you like an equal partner and who would like to do those things you described that you used to want.â
âYeah. Maybe. I donât know, it just isnât worth the risk for me. Romantic love isnât everything.â
There is still a trace of pity in the look he gives you when you smile sadly at him.
After brushing your teeth and changing into your sleepwear, you find yourself outside the door to your bedroom. The storm has passed, so you definitely should go back to sleeping in your own room.
As if he could read your mind, Jeongguk, on his way to his bedroom, slows down as he passes you. He turns, looks at you and smiles gently as he continues to back toward his door. âYou donât need an excuse, you know? If you want to sleep in your room, thatâs fine, but I canât say Iâm not hoping youâll sleep with me.â
You lift your eyebrows at him, as if to say âoh, really?â He should definitely stop saying âsleep with me.â
He shrugs, âI like having you close.â
For half a second, you shut your eyes, realizing you have no defense against him. So you open them, sighing and dropping your shoulders before following him with some species of critter in your stomach. He chuckles.

author's note: please let me know if you like it! i feel like this part was really important and it was definitely hard to write because fortunately(!!!) i have not experienced what reader has and while i did my best to portray it how i think someone could react and deal with stuff like this, at the end of the day, i don't actually know and i'd hate if it comes off as wrong or glamorizing in any way. if it does, that is 1000% not my intention. on a lighter note; this is very much a calm before a storm lol

composite chart observations đ·
watching the detectives
aquarius mars in composite chart is a pretty wholesome placement to have with someone. you feel that you can say everything that comes out of your mind even if it sounds out of place/could be cancelled/etc. you support each other to be yourselves even though itâs too weird or funny or not seen as accepted by others.
I have 11H stellium with my bestie, that would indicate a strong bond/friendship. the house indicates where and the sign how the planet is manifested. so when thereâs a lots of planets in one house, it may define the energy of the relationship. for example, if thereâs libra 11H stellium, the relationship is characterized for being a diplomatic -characteristic of libra- friendship -11H-. balanced and harmonious relationship, but thereâs also a omission of controversy topics in the relationship. 11H stellium doesnât mean the relationship has to be always platonic.
pluto can show in which area of your life this relationship is helping you to transform continuously. for example, if itâs on 1H, you feel you can explore your identity freely without judgement and the other person embraces you to do it.
mercury square neptune can make the two of these people listen to what they want or make assumptions about things in the relationship without being discussed before. also, thereâs a lot of things one says and the other doesnât want to acknowledge. thereâs an illusion supported by the ignorance of not wanting to know or get the real intentions.
mars 12H can mean you hooked up with them but no one knows or itâs kinda secretive. it could have kind of impacted you.
asteroid ate (111) 3H means rushing into conclusions in this relationship. whatâs been said can be misinterpreted by any little inconvenience. both of them are anxious and think too much through the words.
sun 4H: in this relationship, family is prioritized and you want the other to get along with them. each other are introduced to their families by choice. both of them prioritize their family.
venus 13 degree 11H opposition uranus 5H: at some point of the relationship you could have expected something from them. in my case, I was chasing intense situations when I started bonding with them. uranus can indicate whatâs unexpected or what we were expecting of this relationship. and the house where uranus is can tell about the area of this expectations. venus opposition uranus can tell that thereâs/there were too much expectations about this connection, romance and platonic relationships can be confused or rushed. the aries degree gives impulsivity to the relationship. I have this aspect with a friend and both of us suddenly started dating bc of the emotion of the moment -đ- but then we talked about it and wanted to stay as friends.
personally, I think this aspect means these two individuals are really unique and different in their own ways that to be in a romantic romantic relationship can be really difficult, so they stay as friends but thereâs a platonic energy thatâs consfusing??

goodbye, old friend
scaramouche x childhood friend! reader
sypnosis: the memories of your childhood spent with scaramouche
warnings; angst, no comfort, mean scara, arguments, abandonment
WINTER
âwhat are you doing, (y/n)? stop acting like such a child!â scaramoucheâs cold, pink cheeks puffed out as he smacked your hands, the cold snow falling from your gloved hands. the bottom of your lip jut out as small tears started to well up in your eyes.
âstop crying! grow up (y/n)! youâre not a baby.â scaramoucheâs harsh words set off your wailing. sucking in his teeth, scaramouche set his cold hands into the snow. a small ball was formed before he set it in your hands, your crying ceasing momentarily. ây-youâre so mean to me, scara.â you sniffled out.
âi just donât want you to be childish.â he muttered, his hand resting on the top of your head. scaramouche was only a year older than you, 13. but he acted as if he knew it all. his clear influence on you was being shown as you began trading juice boxes for flavored water, stuffed animals being hidden away in your closet when you knew heâd be over for a visit.
a small smile graced your face before cold ice hit scaramoucheâs face. a startled yelp left scaramoucheâs lips, your giggles following suit before he chased you in the snow. small footsteps following each other, imprinted in the cold white powder.
SPRING
âthis feels so weird, scara.â you whispered to him as you both sat on your bedroom floor. the purpled haired boy sat across from you, his cheeks a slight red as he leaned in slowly. âthis was your idea, (y/n). or do you want to back out?â the mocking tone in his voice was evident, a smirk across his lips with a shake of your head. âno! i donât want.. anyone else to have this first with you, scara.â
âoh? so, you want all of my firsts?â
âshut up! thatâs not what i meant!â
with your flustered, babbling self you hadnât noticed scaramouche slowly inching towards you until his lips met yours. it was a quick, gentle kiss. enough to send scaramouche reeling backwards immediately with a choked out âare you happy now?â
a quiet yes left your lips, a small smile on your face. you had taken something he would always remember. his first kiss. his first kiss was with a girl he claimed to not be fond of, but you knew how much you meant to him. he wouldnât spend every afternoon in your room with you if you never meant much to him. you knew that as well as he did.
that quiet afternoon was spent with you both side by side, a happy revelation that you had gotten what you had always wished for. losing your first kiss to scara at 14.
SUMMER
âyou donât mean it, scara.â
âoh but i do, (y/n). i donât want anything to do with you anymore.â
hot tears burned your eyes, it couldnât be true. he wasnât doing this to you, not again. the disinterested look across his features wasnât something you were unfamiliar with. it seemed that all he had for you lately was distaste. the past year and a half had been a whirlwind of drama and heartbreak between you two. you had ended up claiming more of his firsts, just like he teased you about.
but it seemed that you had paid a price for every little moment you would forever remember. his cruelty seemed to grow month by month. scaramouche was no longer interested in spending afternoons with you, but with other girls he would deem as interesting for a month. in return, heâd ignore you.
that was until he came back after a nasty breakup. he seemed to care more for this girl than he had for the others, as he usually was in your arms within a month. retelling the stories of how much lacking those girls had been in comparison to you.
but this time was different. his scowl wasnât only showing his arrogance, but his anger.
âyou promised me, scara!â a shared promised on a hot summer night in your backyard. a promise to not go back to the ignoring and neglect, a promise to stay. for good.
âi was lying! are you really still that dumb, (y/n)? i never wanted or needed you. you were just a placeholder until i found other girls. but you knew that, didnât you? you just didnât want to believe it.â
you shook your head, more hot tears rolling down your cheeks. âplease, donât do this scara. what about us? what about our friendship? i donât want to know a life without you.â
âi do. donât call me anymore.â
you would never forget the tears that would escape your eyes. your heart was aching for the remaining hope for things to go back to what once was. but the rest was seething, angry that you believed him time and time again. angry for his false promises.
âif you go through with this, iâll never forgive you.â
âso be it.â
AUTUMN
a familiar scarf was wrapped around scaramoucheâs neck. a dark purple, almost black thick scarf was hiding his mouth. the same scarf you had gifted him years ago on his birthday. even with the presence of the scarf, it didnât damped the feelings that welled up in your chest. the hurt, the anger.
âwell, did you need something?â you spoke flatly, shopping bags in your grip. christmas was coming up and you had started your shopping a month early. what you hadnât accounted for was running into scaramouche. his new blonde girlfriend in a candle store nearby, unaware of the tension between you both.
âi..â his mouth opened and closed, almost like a fish gasping for air. you huffed impatiently, the gnawing anxious feeling swallowing your chest. âif thereâs nothing then iâll be on my way.â you mumbled curtly, taking a step to the side of scaramouche. his pale hand shot out, grabbing your wrist, keeping you in place.
âiâm sorry, (y/n).â he whispered, loud enough only for you to hear. the great egoistical scaramouche was apologizing to you?
âiâm sorry for, everything.â he added in a hushed whisper.
âitâs a little too late for that, donât you think?â
you two werenât kids anymore. this wasnât a small thing to smile widely and take his hand again, like you once did. it was a betrayal. one that cut you deeply like a knife that was never wedged out from your heart. that pain stayed with you, that resentment. the resentment for a boy you once loved in your younger years.
âi donât expect you to forgive me, but i want you to know that iâm sorry.â there was a slight desperation in his voice, his eyes scanning yours for a hint of what he felt so deeply when he looked at you. but you wouldnât meet his eyes, you hadnât since you noticed him looking at you.
you shook your head, your wrist gently being let go from his grip. you left him standing there, wondering if things could have played out differently if he hadnât left you that summer night. watching your back slowly disappear from view felt like a familiar memory. but this time he wouldnât expect to see you again. you were older, after all. he still remembered the promise he had broken earlier in the year. a promise to apply to the same college and share a dorm together.
your hesitance at the time bothered him, but now that he was looking back, you were right to hesitate in agreeing to it. it was a promise made to him, after all. and he had never kept a good record of keeping his promises to you. but you always forgave him anyway.
now it was college application season, you both turned in different applications to colleges in complete opposite regions. scaramouche wanted to go to sumeru, and you fontaine. he still had the list of furniture you both had planned to buy for your shared dorm. it still laid jotted down in his notepad that he kept in his bag.
it felt bittersweet to flip past it whenever he had to scribble down something, but he couldnât bring himself to tear it out. your messy handwriting on that piece of paper was the only thing he had left of what once was a close friendship.
WINTER
the freezing cold temperatures outdoors helped for a lighter mood that christmas morning. the warmth from your parents home was inviting as you opened gifts from your family and friends.
but after all the wrapping paper was torn off boxes and cardboard, there still lay one gift for you. it resided in your parents mailbox, an early morning drop off from scaramouche himself. a letter wishing you happy holidays and tickets to an aquarium you had planned to go with him, only for him to ditch you on the day of, were nestled safely inside the card.
a six year friendship coming to a close, for good this time.

Hello:) maybe this a weird request ahah but I just got my n1pples pierced and I just know Sirius would go crazy for them, but what about James and Remus? Could you write something about poly!marauders (or whoever you think fits the most!) and Reader with those kind of piercings?
I'm sorry if this is too much or too personal! Thank you for your time<3
Hi lovely, you're so right! I decided to go with James because I think he'd be the most mystified by them, so I hope that's alright. Thanks for requesting :)
cw: pg-13 level smut
James Potter x fem!reader ⥠609 words
Youâve chosen a sheer top on purpose, so you canât say youâre entirely surprised when Jamesâ eyes go straight to your tits upon seeing you.Â
âBaby.â The word comes out of him like an exhale, and you smile. âWhatâs happened to your nipples?â
You laugh. âTheyâre piercings, Jamie. It was intentional, I swear.âÂ
âYou can pierce your nipples?â His eyes are huge behind his glasses, flitting between your chest and your face like heâs not sure where to look. âWhen did you have it done?â
âLast week,â you say. âI was waiting until they werenât sore to show you.âÂ
âItâs soâŠhot.â James steps closer, transfixed. âIâwait.â He touches his fingertips to one corner of his mouth. âAm I drooling? I think Iâm drooling.â You laugh again, and he grins at you, wrapping a big hand around either side of your waist. âShit, sweetheart, they look so good. How long âtil I can bite âem?â
Your expression sours. âMonths. They take forever to fully heal.âÂ
âThatâs okay,â he says quickly, eager to rid you of your frown, âit makes sense that they would. Can I touch them?â
âYeah,â you say, and Jamesâ hands waste no time in slipping under your top, feeling upwards. âJust, be gentle for now, please,â you add hastily.Â
He slows, probing carefully at the area around your nipples and watching your face for a reaction. âDo they hurt?â he asks, brows knitted in concern.Â
You shake your head. âNot a lot. Not as much as they did at first.âÂ
He pouts at you, thumbs finding the cool metal and feeling about the piercings with curious, gentle touches. âIâm sorry, sweetheart, you shouldâa had me come with you.âÂ
âI wanted it to be a surprise,â you say, and James smiles, dipping his head to kiss you. âAnyway, it was worth it.âÂ
âIt is a great surprise,â he agrees. You chase him for more, pushing up on your tiptoes and taking his face in your hand. Jamesâ grip tightens on your tits, careful not to push too hard near your piercings, but when his thumb brushes lightly over your nipple, you gasp.
He pulls back instantly. âShit,â he says, hands sliding down to your sides, âIâm so sorry, baby. Did I hurt you?â
âNo,â you laugh. âNo, the opposite.â James looks confused, and your grin turns bashful as you explain. âTheyâre still hurting a bit right now, but once theyâve healed enough that you can really touch them, theyâre supposed to be more sensitive.â You give him a look, hoping heâll catch your meaning.Â
He does, his face lighting up. âYouâre kidding.âÂ
You laugh. âIâm not.âÂ
James places a hand over his eyes and tilts his head back, as though communing with some higher power. âThis is the best thing thatâs ever happened to me,â he says.Â
âThe best thing?â you tease. âChrist, Potter, theyâre just tits. I thought I was supposed to be the best thing that ever happened to you.âÂ
âOh, donât start with me, sweetness.â Jamesâ hand falls from his eyes, revealing pupils that nearly eclipse his irises. He starts for you, and you giggle, retreating until the backs of your legs hit the bed. âIâve got months to show you how much I love you,â he says, grabbing you by the waist. You squeal, writhing in his grip as he buries his face in your neck. Even when you both fall backwards onto the bed James doesnât relent, keeping you pinned beneath him while he kisses sloppily at your jaw, your shoulder, leaving spit and bite marks in his wake. âMonths and months, before I get to show you how much I love them too.â

You give a final smile to Bucky and Shy, and hug to your former guard. Making sure to kneel down to rub on Shyâs belly, leaning to give the bump a kiss, âYou take care of your mama, little Ember. I canât wait to hold you. Thank you for a lovely day,â you stand back up, giving Shy another hug. âYour home is lovely.â
And with that Steve nods a head to both Bucky and Shy, leading you out to the car where he opens the door up for you. He can be sweet when he wants to. When he isnât so brooding and all business. Trying to be create a persona that is quite different to the man you were starting to learn. Days like this made you realize that there is a lot more to Steve than meets the eye. He could be soft. Just with the right people.
You suppose that is probably the safest thing to do, be cautious. For him. You just loved people, and wanted them to know. Everyone needed words of confirmation from time to time. âShe looks adorable pregnant.â
âSo will you,â he answers, giving you a soft smile. He could be a bit confusing with his personality. Today you are getting the sweet Steve. It had to have been seeing Bucky again. Bucky leaving Steveâs business for good seems to have affected him. He realizes how things have shifted.
âAre you sad?â He keeps his eyes on the road, and his Adamâs apple bobs while he searches for the right words.
âThat you have an IUD? Of course. But Iâll let you decide when I get to fill you full of me,â you roll your eyes as your hand naturally falls into his. He is so silly. Always going back to that, and not at all what you are thinking about.
âI meant about Bucky choosing Shy overâŠthe business,â you hesitate to say over Steve. he didnât necessarily choose Shy over him. But in a way he did. Bucky found something more important to him than what he had been doing for years. More important than being in the business with his best friend. The business risk didnât outweigh his love for his fiance and future family.
Steve goes silent. His sharp eyes look out in front of the car, but never respond. It hurts him too much to think that Bucky would never be a part of this world for him. âI mean, having a child is a huge responsibility. It seems like Shy makes enough money to keep them afloat. And he seems to really be right at home with her. And their kitty. We should probably get a pet. I bet it was nice for her to have a pet when Bucky was out at odd hours of the night. Especially when he was with me. Heaven knows that man has seen so much of my body, and just what you do to me. Do you think she was ever jealous of that? Have you met Shy before today? Wait, no you said that was your first time meeting her. Bucky must really love her to want to protect her from your life.â
âDovey,â his thumb draws shapes on your hand, and you turn to look at him. He is haunted about something. About his thoughts that never left him. There is no telling the things that he has seen in this life. âBaby, you need to breathe.â
âWhere are you taking me?â This isnât the way home. âAre we going out?â he shakes his head no, and you look at him with a pout. The facial expression does get a huff of a laugh. âSteve!â
âDoes this road not look familiar?â No. It didnât. But clearly it is supposed to. You sigh, waiting on him to hopefully answer. Your body leans more into him. Letting his warmth encapsulate your nerves. Trying to think of when you had been here, and then there is something that looks familiar.
âButâŠwhere is everything else?â It is the playground. Before there were swings, slides, monkey bars, but now the only thing left standing is the bars that Steve had set you on. âSteve?â
âI held onto this place for a long time,â he places the car into park, and while you give him your full attention, he just gazes out at the almost empty park. âI met her here for the first time,â he is taking way too long to tell a story, but for the sake of him not getting pissy at you, you wait on him. Even if you feel a pang of jealousy with the simple word of her.
âShe was beautiful. I hadnât fully grown into my body yet, but she still saw me. I told you I was bullied here, but I was slowly turning it into a drop off. It was overgrown, and kids didnât come here anymore. But Peggy did. She stayed a bit too far away. Watching. Always watching me. I got a bit cocky, and came by more often. Bought the land, so it was my private property. Employed Bucky and Sam. And I kept getting bigger, and finally she came and talked to me.â
You donât even know Peggy, but you hate her. It isnât even jealousy, okay maybe a little bit. But it is mostly due to the fact thereâs something so off in her behavior. She just watched him for months?
âShe was a simple girl, just wanted some weed. And came by regularly to get it. And then I got the courage to ask her out. We were inseparable. I fell so hard, and so fast. I was telling that woman I loved her everyday. Bucky and Sam kept telling me there was something off with her. She didn't want to move in, but she stayed at my house a lot. Didnât seem to have a job, but I kept her up anyways. And then â fuck,â he slams his hand onto the steering wheel, leaving you without his warmth.
âA squad came barging into my house throwing shit all around, and what do you know, Peggy was the one leading them. Sheâd lied the whole time. Undercover for what she felt was the next up and coming drug ring. Sam and Bucky were right, and smarter than that bitch. They cleaned out my house the night before. She was the one that shoved me to the floor, got me in a submissive position on my knees and demanded for me to tell her where the drugs were. I just smiled up at her. I spent a few weeks in jail. And come to find out later she actually is dating Rumlow. Maybe sheâs going to bust him, too. Maybe she actually loves him, I donât know. But Iâve never trusted another woman. Nor been put in that position again.â
It's your turn to go silent. You hated that bitch. How dare she even touch Steve. She got all that with him. All the love and words, and before you. It shouldnât matter, but she broke him. And the realization of him holding her actions over you. She made him not trust women so much that he couldnât even be honest with you.
âUntil you,â your head slowly turns to look at him, and heâs never seemed so torn. His eyes are glossy, and face solemn, and all you want to do is hold him. âI got on my knees for you. I have left you in my home alone. I have entertained you for months, and Iâve done everything I said that I would never do again, and itâs all been for you. I canât â Dovey, Iâm sorry, I can't say those words you deserve to hear.â
You let out an air of breath that you arenât aware you were holding, as you search his face. He is being as candid as he can, and his hurt from being used, and lied to still lingers. But he said you deserve to hear the words.
âSteve, I told you it was enough. I will hear those words from you, but whatâs more important I feel those words from you. I see them. I didnât know about what she did to you, but I know that every time you drop to your knees to put my shoes on, it is something that isnât easy for you, and youâve given that to me more than once.â
âAll that I told her should have been for you.â
âIt will be,â your hand cups his cheek, and you place a kiss on his face. Kissing away the single tear that rolls past his lash line. She might have gotten the words, but you get the actions. âWhy did you have everything from the playground removed?â
âI didnât,â his lips turn up into a smile, but he doesn't dare to look out at the former park. His dark lashes splay across his cheeks, keeping his eyes closed, choosing to feel this moment instead of just seeing it. âThat piece of equipment doesnât look familiar? That is the first place that I stared at the face of God. It holds a special meaning to me,â you roll your eyes, attempting to turn away from his silly self when he grabs at your face. Hand on your jaw, making you look at him. His fingers are steady but not too harsh.
His eyes open slowly, and you stare at his perfectly imperfect blue eyes with their bit of green lacing through the crystal blue, âDonât look away from me when Iâm talking to you, and being sweet.â
âYouâre talking about my pussy.â
Steve gives you a boop to your nose and a too innocent smile for him, âI think you mean my pussy. At least thatâs what you tell me every time I fuck into you. Are you saying I donât own this pussy anymore,â the hand holding onto your jaw falls in between your thighs, and cups your covered mound. âI do love that you wear skirts. Do you realize how easy it would be to move these panties over andâŠhey!â
He yells after you as you jump out of the car. Looking back at him with a playful grin. âIf itâs your pussy, come and claim it!â Squealing you run away from the giant tattooed man that stomps after you. He doesnât even have to run with his long strides. But you donât stop.
Bobbing and weaving on the mostly empty lot. Looking back at him laughing carelessly, and you see the first genuine smile spread across his angelic face. If it wasnât for his chiseled body covered in ink, heâd look almost boy-like. Youâre glad he didnât tattoo his face. But right now in this moment, you see him for the man he was before his harsh world crashed over him.
Crinkles at the edge of his eyes that you love to kiss. You wished you could see those lines more often. They did seem to be making an appearance more often now. His lines on his face told a story, much like the tattoos and scars that stained his skin.
He reaches out a hand to grab you, but you dodge his advance. Doing a quick twirl before you sprint away, and turn to look at him, âIs that the best you got, Rogers?â
âNow, youâve gone too far. Take that back!â Youâre almost tempted to call him that again.
âNever, daddy!â He growls, wrapping his hand around your wrist, but you slip away. âStevie, you really are losing your touch. AHH!â You screech when both his arms wrap around you. He pulls you so tight against his body it takes your breath away. You struggle to get away, not wanting this playful Steve to disappear just yet.
Struggling so hard that the two of you slam onto the ground in a fit of giggles, âWhat was it that you called me, Dovey?â
âCaptain,â laughing when he rolls his eyes, and shakes his head no.
âYouâre such a liar,â he crows, his teeth nibbling on your neck. Playfully biting you, while demanding you admit the names you called him. âTell me, baby,â his voice turns labored. The playful chase already over as you wiggle around in his embrace.
His thumb hooks under the elastic of your panties. And he starts to jerk down the cotton. Lifting you up a bit to fully remove them. Legs being pushed apart by his wide body, and you pull at his button, trying to release the monster cock that is straining in these jeans. âTell me first, and Iâll give you everything you want.â
Pushing aside your hand, he pulls himself out. You yip at the sight of his pretty little piercing coated in beads of precum. Gripping the base of his cock he pumps himself a few times before rubbing his tip through your drenched center. His squishy head barely pushing through your entrance, âI called you Rogers,â his hips thrust forward, leaving you blinded by the intense and immediate stretch.
Vision is blurry. Like a filter had been laid over the world around you, and all you see is him. All you feel is his weight lowering over top of you, and his arms caging you. The cold grass tickling your backside. Senses on overdrive because he gave so much of himself to you today.
âI called you â daddy,â you scream out as he fucks into you so hard and deep his tip kisses the edge of your cervix. The one name he told you not to call him, and you would pay for your indiscretions in pleasure. You are now aware of how you havenât fully taken all of Steve from the way he is filling you up. A perfect fit indeed as you revel in having him so purely. His hips piston him deeper into your warmth than heâs ever been. Branding you in a different way than before. This is just for you and him.
âFuck,â Steve grouses, a hand slides up to your neck. Keeping his eyes on yours as he adds a bit of pressure. He is fighting off saying what he really wants to say. Using your body to work through his emotions. Never looking to where the two of you connect, keeping both eyes trained on you.
The softest whimper explodes out of his chest as he holds your gaze, âYouâre my best friend.â
His words contradict his sharp thrusts inside of you. âYou are. I trust so few, but I trust youâŠthe most,â you preen at his words. Mewling out his name, and circling your legs around him. Allowing your body to take every part of him. Soft words with harsh movements have your body floating and unable to focus.
âI loveâŠlove spending every day with you. I donât want to miss a day,â he is getting there. Slowly. But he is. And judging by the sparks going through your body, youâre also almost there.
âYouâre my best friend, too, Captain. Now finish me,â he rams into you. Hitting you in all the right spots until your eyes go crossed, and you roll them into the back of your head. âSteve!â you scream out as your body begins to tremble. There is nothing but the two of you out here in the middle of nowhere where Steve changed your life. And now you are also changing his life.
âMy pussy sure does feel good,â he smirks at you. His body slams into you, and your back skids across the ground in the most delightful pleasured pain. You owned him. He is yours. And you will do everything to protect him. This stunted man is now yours to protect. He could hide and deny it, but he is yours.
âYour pussy is only for you.â
âGood,â he growls as you arch your back into him. Bringing yourself close to him. Your body stiffens up. Everything builds to the climax. Looking deep into his beautiful eyes, he nods, âLet go, Dovey,â and everything crashes down around Steve. Your velvety walls cling tight to his thick girth, and his sticky heat fills you up.
He lets your body sink to the ground slowly, and he smirks down at you. âYouâre so pretty like this. Fucked hard and dumb, and filled to the brim ofâŠâ
âSteve Rogers,â you coo. Youâd let this man do whatever he wanted to you. He is powerful, scary, intimidating, but to you heâs just your Captain.
âLetâs go home, sweetie. You need a bath. You have leaves in your hair,â he picks out a leaf, holding it up to prove the mess he made. âPlus you smell like dirt. Come on,â he slowly pulls himself out of you, flicking his eyes down to look at your spread legs. âWhen can we take that thing out of you?â
âSteve! I have only been having sex for a couple of months. Give me at least a year.â
âI love it when you whine, but a full year?â You nod, going to stand up. Wincing as you reach for your panties he really was deep. Body wobbling, and Steve holds you upright, but still keeps your panties out of your reach, and you stomp your foot. âIf I have to wait a year, you have to ride back home with no panties.â
âSteve, your cumâŠâ
âYes, the thought of my cum leaking out of your cunt is part of the appeal of this arrangement,â exhaling quickly, you start walking away from him. âOh, cutie, you acting like a brat and seeing that run down your leg is turning me on again.â
âWash me clean, and you can have your pussy again.â
âI wasnât going to ask,â he gulps, continuing to watch you walk away. You have been the best thing thatâs happened to him. The best part of him. âBut Iâll always ask for permission, Dovey,â he whispers, knowing you wonât hear him. âBecause I loveâŠhearing you beg.â
Steveâs hands squeeze on your foot, and he sighs when you canât control the sounds that hum out of your mouth. âYouâre the one causing those sounds,â your brow cocks up as you stare at him over the bubbles. âCan you be here with me all the time?â
âIf youâll let me suck on your clit underwater.â
You stare at him both confused and shocked. No way was he going under the water for such a thing, nor did you want his face between your legs right now. He starts to move his body from across the tub, closer to you, and you shake your head no.
âDo you doubt my abilities?â
âNot at all. I know youâd die in between my thighs and think it was the best death in the world. But Iâd rather you not die,â or have him be where he was wanting his face be.
He blinks once slowly before getting even closer. Looking more like a predator than your boyfriend, âSteve, no!â
âThen sit on the ledge of the bathtub.â
âIâll get cold.â
âThen dry off and Iâll feast on my pussy in the bed.â
âCan you give me a few more moments in here? Alone?â " He shakes his head no. âWhy not?â
âWhy the fuck do you want to stay in the tub?â Because you needed to. Did he not get you needed private time sometimes?
âI have something I need to do, and I donât want you in here,â pursing his lips, he narrows his eyes while watching you. Making you uncomfortable with how hard heâs staring at you. âStop! Get out, and give me just a moment.â
âWhat do you need to do that I canât see?â
âSeriously?â He scoots a bit closer to you, and you push your foot up against his chest, holding him in place. All the while knowing that this would not keep him away from you, âWhat are you doing?â
âGoing to suck on your clit,â like it is the most obvious answer in the world. Shaking your head no, Steve sighs. âYou know I could lift you up and make you do whatever I want you to, so why donât you explain to me what the problem is, and why you donât want me to touch you right now?â
You take a long look at Steve, sighing before looking down at the bubbles. Steve had done so much to break down your walls. He had made you a completely different person, a stronger person. He had turned your world upside down. Had just been inside of you, but you donât want his face down there.
âDovey?â
âI need to shave,â Steve scoffs, trying to push his body towards you. âSteve, stop. I donât want your face there.â
âDoes it look like I care about a little bit of hair. Let me suck your clit.â
âNo.â
âEven though youâre pissing me off, I do think I have found the perfect woman. Because you, my darling, donât put up with my bullshit. How does it feel to be the only woman that has ever tamed Steve Rogers? Donât,â the timbre of his voice lowers when you cross your arms across your chest.
He stares deep into your eyes as he gets a bit closer to you. Gaze never leaves yours, but he uses a hand to cup your mound. His fingers roll over your entrance as he tilts his head watching you, âItâs not that bad.â
âIt is to me, and I havenât even found the energy to get away from you to shave.â
âSince Iâm such a menace to you, let me shave you,â it is a simple statement and said so easily, but the audacity of this man.
âNo.â
âYouâre being a brat.â
âItâs one of your favorite things about me.â
âIâm a bigger fan of my pussy. Let me shave you. Iâll get it how you like it because frankly, I donât get a damn. But I also get to see the face of god,â heâs relentless. Ridiculous even. A menace for you. And the way his eyes flick all over your face, and he never once pushes past your entrance, just lazily taps his fingers on it. âIt will be so fucking sexy.â
Youâre doubtful of that. You also donât trust that Steve wonât try to devour you, regardless of what you want. âI want to do it, Dove. I will bow down before you and shave every inch of you if that is what you want. I want to be in every part of your life. Even the parts that you find embarrassing. Because all I know is I get to spend even more time with my favorite girl. Please, Dovey. Iâm begging you, please, let me shave your pussy.â
âIâve never done this before,â you sigh, biting at your lip.
âNeither have I. You get another one of my firsts. JustâŠjust sit on the edge of the tub. Iâll be careful,â he wouldnât stop until you give him what he wants. And thereâs something adorably sexy about him wanting to take care of you in the most intimate and simple way. You want him to.
Taking a deep breath you lift yourself onto the side of the tub. Spreading your legs slowly as Steveâs face beams up at you as his eyes drift all over your body. Watching as the suds coast down your soft curves. Consuming you with his eyes alone.
âThis is not that bad. But let me take care of you,â he reaches for the razor and runs a smooth hand over your mound. His thumb teases along your clit, and you canât help but whimper out his name. âShh, donât make that sound just yet, Dovey,â sudding up some soap, he spreads it over your skin. Making sure to coat every bit of your exposed skin with the foam, and his hands expertly move the razor over your supple body. Making sure to clean it after every pass.
Even though you know it is killing him, he never makes a lewd joke. He doesnât slip a finger in, itâs like this is his job. Itâs fascinating to watch him. He keeps looking up at you through those inky black lashes making sure you're grading his work. And when heâs not looking at you, his tongue pushes out the front of his mouth in concentration, and you commit this moment to your memory. He looks adorable.
He always does wheng a heâs not trying to be this hard drug lord. Thereâs a sweetness, and a loyalty to him. This need to control, but also a need to protect and take care of you. You position yourself to lean back more, and he growls, rolling his eyes to look up at you. âThis isnât funny. Youâre already torturing me.â
âI enjoy the view,â this big bad drug lord was down on his knees, and just for you. Towering above you, or bowing before you. Submissive only for you, or your fearless dominating Captain. He was all yours.
âYouâre a fucking tease, too,â Steveâs hand drops into the water, giving you a clear view of his hard and angry cock under the water. âYouâre killing me.â
âI enjoy you from this angle.â
âYou enjoy me worshiping you right at the face of god. Youâre a sweet little tease. Has her pussy spread out deliciously before me, and making me shave you. Dove, the water isnât fooling anyone,â you hum as he lets water drip over your body, washing away the remaining bubbles before he spreads your puffy lips out. Keeping you wide open before looking up at you.
âYouâre dripping. Coated in that sweet honey because all you can think about is me fucking into you so hard and deep that my sweet little Dovey falls asleep, huh? Do you like me on my knees in front of you, and taking care of you in this way?â You answer by nodding your head. He knew you too well. Youâd let him command you because you knew he had these sweet moments ready to remind you it isnât just your cunt that keeps him obsessed.
âDove, youâre no longer in the water, and I canât attempt to deep sea suck on your clit.â
âYou are ruining a sweet moment, Steven,â Steve adjusts to his knees, letting his heavy cock rub against your leg, and your legs spread even more, âSteve,â a whispered whine escapes your mouth, and you start going into that space where he controls your every thought and movement. Making everything about pleasing him because you get the utmost pleasure.
âI will try that one day. But you need to be fucked like my sweet little slut donât you,â your head nods. A mess of words tumbles out of your mouth, and he stands up. Cock and piercing right at your face, and you whimper. Leaning forward you kiss the tip, sticking your tongue out to lick the vein on his cock. Looking up at him through your lashes when you tongue his slit.
âYou sure do love Clarence, huh?â
âHe loves me, too. Doesnât he?â
âClarence loves and adores you,â stepping out of the tub, he turns to you, lifting you up in his arms. He carries you into the bedroom, ripping open the curtains so you can see the woods and the moonlight creating silvery light into your room. Turning to the bed, he sets you on your knees.
âPut your head on the bed, and keep your eyes on me. Youâve teased me for too long,â you do as you're told, receiving a smile, and a soft slap to your pussy, âSuch a good girl for me. As much as I love your fight, when you get in this space and will do anything just for this,â he spears into you with such a hard and deep thrust, your body scoots onto the bed.
Fingers cling to the sheets as Steve pulls himself out of you, âAnd what my Dovey wants,â another sharp thrust has you seeing stars. Stretched out, and that cool metal grazes over your cervix, âShe gets,â gripping onto your hips he pounds into your depths.
Such frenzied movements. You arenât sure if you have ever taken him so fully like this. So deep. So full. So aggressive in his movements. âAnd IâŠsoon â soon youâll have that thing removed and I will pump you so full of me that I start growing in your belly. Youâll be so filled with all of me. Something I have never done. Youâll get it all.â
His voice is gravely despite the words coming out of them. He means every bit of it. Making you understand and know that you are his world. Giving you all that he can, and more than he has to anyone else.
âI will do whatever it takes for you, Dovey. Anything to keep you safe. But you will always be mine. There will never be another. No one can ever treat you the way that I do. I own every part of you, all the way down to your soul. Weâre bonded together. In this life and the next. Iâm yours, but youâre mine. All of you. Every bit of your every being. Itâs all mine. All. Mine.â
âItâs all yours,â you let out a scream of pleasure. Trying to get a grip on anything because the build up for the orgasm has you on edge. Your body tenses as euphoria builds up in your body. All the way deep into your soul. The most lewd, but also innocent form of being together. Searing himself throughout your body. And you didnât even realize just how much you are burning yourself into his world. When he said anything, he meant it. You will always be his first thought.
No one has every had this much of Steve. And he would do whatever it took to keep you safe. The first and last thoughts on his mind are always you. Everything was just you. With your body almost flat on the bed now, he stabs into you, spurting his seed into your warmth and letting you milk him clean.
Losing a bit of himself in the moment, âGod, I loveâŠthis,â he pants out. Watching your eyes close, and a derpy smile on your face. âI love it.â
You sleep so soundly. Canât even feel Steve ghosting his lips over your worn body. You never complained about how much that he needs and uses you. You always just let him have whatever he wants. Even if youâre asleep heâs going to make sure that he spoils you with his touch. The only way he can show you how much he loves you, even if he canât say it.
Not the way he sinks into you, but these moments. The ones where youâre softly snoring, and heâs staring over your body and painting your skin with his kisses like you are the most beautiful work of art. He wants to cover you in his â touch. He is working on it. He wants to give you what you need from him. He wants it more than he wants sleep. And one day heâll find the way to give you all you deserve.
He didnât bother closing the curtains and blinds. You love watching the woods outside to fall asleep. Saying that it makes you feel closer to him because it was just the two of you and the creatures.
He blinks, looking out into the distance when a flash of light catches his eye. Staring down onto the forest floor when he slings the blanket off him. Taking a moment to make sure youâre still asleep before he walks out the cabin. Teeth already clenched together as he marches down into the darkness.
Stopping when he squares up against a woman that once upon a time could have looked just like you. Her eyes lifeless as her sight moves from the bedroom window to Steve, âDidnât bother to put a shirt on did you?â
He glares at her, snapping his fingers in her face when she looks back up at your sleeping form, âI need some money.â
âI told you I wasnât giving you money,â his voice is quick and final, and she pouts up at him.
âShe gets money.â
âAre you fucking serious right now?â
âOh right, she lets you use her,â every conversation starts the same with her. Always money. Always he uses you. âDoes she know?â
âThat I paid for a fucking apartment and you trashed it, and got kicked out? No. I told her I would keep you safe. I donât know what the fuck all that does because you canât keep you goddamn nose clean. Let me see in between your fingers.â
âFuck you!â Steve didnât have to see. He could tell by the state of her, sheâs no longer clean. A junkie that had nothing to lose and knew where he lived was dangerous.
âWhy are you here, Lark? How did you know about our home?â She cocks up her eyebrow, looking Steve up and done before staring at his brand. âYes, ours. How did you find this place?â
âI know people. Pussy gets you a lot of things. Ask my sister,â if she wasnât a woman Steve would have backhand her.
âMy patience is growing thin. What the fuck did you want,â she looks back up at your sleeping body, conflicted with emotions at how comfortable and unknowing you are. Did you even realize the shit Steve was into? Or did you just not care? The people that Steve employed? What they could do to you. âLark!â
âSince you wonât give me money, weâre done here. Iâm surprised you left her unattended. Did you remember to lock the door?â A more sinister person would smile, but Lark seems sad. Waiting for Steve to gasp before he bolts back towards the house. The door now wide open, and he sneaks around the room. Checking every dark corner before slinging the bedroom door open. Youâre still asleep and none the wiser, but he canât relax.
Needing to check the bathroom and closets, and keep turning back to you. Still relaxed and dreaming. Unaware of the turmoil that is going through his head at someone having the ability to hurt you. Didnât even feel he had the right to crawl back in the bed beside you, or even hold you.
âSteve?â You whisper, turning in the bed to look at him. Blinking away the sleep in your eyes, âBaby, get back in bed. Can you close the curtains?â
âYeah,â he says, telling himself the curtains will never be open again. Looking out into the woods, he wonders how Lark got here. Where she was at and where she was going. She was up to something. She wasnât alone. He made promises to you to never hurt her, but if it comes between you and her, she will be eliminated.
âTake the sweatpants off, too,â you hated when he wears clothes to bed when youâre naked. As he tosses his pants to the side, they hit the dresser, knocking something into the floor. âThe hamper, Steve.â
âYes, maâam,â his voice is quiet and solemn, and he doesnât pay attention to the envelope that floats to the floor. âLet me set the alarm though.â
Youâll never be left unattended. Heâd have you with him every second. You were all that mattered to him. âMmm,â you moan, unaware of what transpired tonight. And even he wasnât sure, but he would be soon.

Not All That Glitters is Gold Part 14
I'm thinking about writing an epilogue/sequel to this because after reading the ending, I feel like I've cheated you out of something special, but the story feels like it should have ended after the rut. So let me know in the comments if you would like see the bonding and birth of their first child.
First of two chapters being posted today.
The after party. Tommy makes an appearance and Chrissy comes to rescue...well so do everyone in Stevie's corner, but especially her.
Part 1Â Part 2Â Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12 Part 13
****
The after party was buzzing with the whoâs who of the industry. Producers and artists mingled with label execs and the best escorts Starcourt had to offer.
Steve had been invited to a couple of these in his time and always had fun.
Eddie was talking to this beautiful actress in a long purple and black gown. She had song on the soundtrack of her latest movie, surprising a lot of people with her vocal talents in addition to her acting.
Steve gulped down a bit of champagne to chase the bile of jealousy that he had forced back down.
âWell if it isnât, Steve Harrington,â a cool voice said behind him.
Steve schooled his expression and turned around.
There was Tommy Hagan.
It had been a lovely couple of months where they hadnât run into each at an event at all.
Steve smiled. âHey, Tommy, you working a client or just the room tonight?â
When Starcourt supplied omegas to after parties like this one, they were allowed to network to get new clients. So not only were they paid well, they could bring in even more money by picking up new clients.
âHe doesnât love you, you know,â Tommy sneered. âThis is all stunt to take the attention off of the fact that he fucked up with two omegas and nearly caused a scandal for the label both times.â
Steve knew that was the reason for the âfake datingâ contract. It was his business to know. âWhatâs the matter, Tommy? Upset that I get to fuck your favorite rockstar? You must have been so livid when you found out that I got invited to their charity gala and you didnât.â
âYou think youâre so special getting a million dollar cherry pop price,â Tommy snapped. âBut that just means that you had to stay longer to pay it off, stupid.â
Steve rolled his eyes. âYes, and I made that my first year. I didnât have to stay, but I know my worth, sweetie. And it is a hell of a lot more than a million dollars.â
âYouâve got your claws in him now,â Tommy hissed, âbut heâll figure out that youâre as shallow as your intelligence.â
Steve flushed and Tommy smirked, knowing he hit the mark. The one thing that Steve was always worried about and that was coming across as the dumb bunny.
âIâm not stupid,â he whispered harshly. âJust because I havenât gone to fancy schools doesnât mean Iâm dumb.â
Tommy laughed cruelly. âLook around you, Steve. This is all youâll ever have. All youâll know. Youâre only worth is whatâs between your legs, not whatâs between your ears.â
Tears stung at the corner of Steveâs eyes.
Then there was a warm arm that slid around his waist and Steve leaned into the embrace.
âYou okay, baby?â Eddie murmured, pressing a kiss to the top of his head.
âMuch better now that youâre here,â Steve whispered back, nuzzling the under side of his throat.
âStevie and I were just having a little chat,â Tommy said all false smiles, âwerenât we?â
Steve pressed further into Eddieâs side.
Eddie scoffed. âI heard what you were saying, itâs why I came over.â
Tommy blanched. âWhat?â
âAnd I did not like what you said at all.â He kissed Steve soundly on the lips. âTroy and Robin are waiting for you, babe. Theyâll take you somewhere where you can calm down and Iâll be right behind you, okay?â
Steve nodded and went right into the waiting arms of Robin, Troy covering Steve from behind so no one could see how upset he was.
âYouâre Tommy Hagan, right?â Eddie asked, low and menacing.
Tommy nodded.
âIâve been hearing about your supposed rivalry with Steve from a couple different people tonight.â Eddieâs tone grew even darker.
Tommy opened his mouth, but Eddie held up his hand to stop him, âAnd no, Steve was not one of them. From other handlers and escorts. From what I could gather, youâre pissed because he rose to the top of the company faster than you did. Heâs prettier, more charming, and better at his job.â
âThink whatever you like,â Tommy scoffed. But the red flush to his cheeks belied his statement.
âAnd now heâs dating the lead singer of your favorite band and you are just eaten up with envy and jealousy,â Eddie continued. âSo you decided to go after Steveâs intelligence knowing it was a soft spot for him. But there are different kinds of intelligence and Steveâs is all emotional. And thatâs what makes him brilliant at what he does.â
âStill makes him as dumb as a rock,â Tommy hissed.
Eddie just shook his head. âIâm making a complaint against you with the agency. This is really bad behavior for a Starcourt omega and doesnât reflect well on them.â
Then Tommy really did pale. All color drained from his face, leaving his freckles more pronounced in the absence of color on his cheeks.
Eddie just shook his head and went in search of Steve.
Troy spotted him first and waved him over to a small alcove where Robin was rubbing Steveâs back as he struggled to calm down.
Eddie knelt in front of him and began rubbing his arms. âHey, sweetheart. Do you need to leave?â
Steve took in a deep shuddering breath and held in his a moment. âNo. Tommy is an ass but I can handle it.â
âYou donât have to if you donât want to,â Eddie murmured, caressing Steveâs cheek with his thumb. âWith the horrible questions, the sexist alpha, and now this asshole. You admit it affected you and we can go home.â
Steveâs lip quivered. âBut what about you, donât you have to be here?â
âSweetheart,â Eddie said, cupping his cheeks, âI have been here. I could duck out. The rest of the band is still here as well as Benny and our producer Alexi. They could hold court if you really needed us to go right now.â
âTommyâs already been reported to management,â Troy said, cradling his ear. âThey still want Eddie to make a formal complaint, but theyâre pulling Tommy out and replacing him with Chrissy Cunningham.â
Robin nodded. âElinor and a couple other omegas who were here with actual clients had run afoul of him as well.â
Steve raised his head. âWait, really? Heâs pissed that he was only here to work the room as opposed to being with a client? Is he stupid?â
Troy raised his hand and rocked his fingers back and forth. âThe jury is still out on that one.â
Eddie looked back between Troy and Steve in confusion. âI donât understand.â
âIt depends on the client,â Steve said, âbut an escort can make $1000-5000 a night. But working a room, youâre paid an five grand plus the chance to pick up future clients. Alphas that arenât there with anyone who might have an event coming up that would be improved by having an escort. Maybe their rut is coming up soon. Working a room can net an escort closer to ten to fifteen grand.â
Eddie blinked. âHoly shit. Now, Iâm wondering how he could be so stupid.â
âI could answer that,â a warm female voice said behind them.
Steve looked up and grinned. âChrissy!â
Eddie stood up and turned around to see one of the prettiest female omegas he ever seen. Her strawberry blonde hair was artfully pulled back in a wavy bun, highlighting her green eyes and dazzling smile. She wore a pink mermaid tail dress that had feathers on her hips and on the train. She held a matching clutch.
She gave Steve a hug. âIâm sorry Tommy was an douchebag tonight, cher. But Iâm here now.â
Steve relaxed, the last bit of tension bleeding from his frame with her casual support.
âSo why would d-bag want a client over working the room if the gains are greater working the room?â Eddie asked, shoving his hands into his jacket pockets.
He had changed, too. The tuxedo pants had been replaced by leather ones, and he wore a band tee under a leather jacket. His knee high boots gave him a little extra height on Steve even in his own heels.
Chrissy smiled up at him. âBecause if youâre working the room, that means you werenât good enough to get a client going to the Grammyâs. Itâs about the prestige of being with a big name artist. And that clout canât be bought. Steve here is going to get more requests being at Eddieâs side, then I will from working the room.â
Robin snorted. âOnly because Steveâs that hot.â
Steve ducked his head to hide his blush. He really did have the best of friends.
Chrissy giggled. âThereâs a little bit to that, sure. But the salient point is that Tommy is jealous because he knows that even with Eddie courting Steve, Steve is going to make a hell of a lot more money than Tommy could hope to dream of in just this year.â
âHe was trying to upset the escorts on jobs so that they would leave,â Troy said, âwhich would free up the clients for those only working the room.â
Steve and Chrissy gave Troy an appraising eyebrow, impressed.
âSounds about right,â Steve said. âWhich means leaving would be giving in to his schemes. Plus, Chrissy is here now. That makes the party way more fun.â
Eddie held out his hand and helped Steve to his feet. âWhatever you want, princess. I am but yours to command.â
Steve wagged his eyebrows. âSomething Iâll consider for tonight.â
Robin and Chrissy wolf whistled.
Troy just shook his head. With Robin in tow, Troy melded back into the crowds to keep an eye on Steve from a distance.
Chrissy was introduced to the band. Jeff was immediately smitten by her charms.
He was falling over his feet to impress her.
âJeffy here writes our music,â Eddie told her and Steve. âI write the lyrics and he turns them into songs. Really I have the easy part. He does all the heavy lifting.â
Gareth, immediately picking up on where Eddie was going with this followed that up with, âYeah. Which considering he boxes to stay in shape itâs really easy for him.â
âYou box?â Chrissy asked, all interest. âDo you actually get in the ring or do you just go up against punching bags to prevent ruining the prettiest face of the band?â
Steve hissed at her, âYou take that back! Eddie is the hottest member of the band.â
âHottest guitarist, maybe,â Elinor huffed. âHottest member is clearly Gareth.â
The three alphas were starting to growl when Brian stepped in. âGuys, guys. Youâre all very pretty. The prettiest. Now can we move on?â
Just when everyone had calmed down, he said, âBesides we all know the best looking one in the band is me!â
His friends dogpiled him and wrestled him to the ground.
Chrissy leaned over to Steve as the four of the tussled. âDo they do this often?â
Steve just shrugged. He hadnât had the chance to hang out with band yet.
Elinor rolled her eyes. âThey are like this all the time. In a minute or so, theyâll get tired, give up and move on like nothing has happened. Theyâll straighten their clothes and hair, all the better for it.â
Sure enough they did just that.
Brian looked the worst for wear considering he had been the one under attack, but nothing was torn or out of place and quite quickly they were looking like nothing had happened.
âI love these dorks,â Eddie murmured. âSo, so much.â
Steve kissed his cheek. âThatâs good, because I think youâre stuck with them, being in a band and all.â
Jeff giggled. âIs he stuck in here with us, or are we stuck in here with him?â
Steve tapped his lips thoughtfully. âOh, definitely the latter.â
âHey!â Eddie protested.
Gareth shook his head. âNo, no. Iâm with Steve on this one. We are definitely stuck in here with you.â
âTraitors,â he muttered darkly.
Steve nuzzled his scent gland and Eddieâs alpha purred. It took every ounce of Steveâs professionalism he had to keep the replying chirp quiet enough that only Eddie could hear.
Eddie grinned. âJust let me make the rounds one more time and then you and I will get out of here.â
Steve nodded and then watched him go. He grabbed another glass of champagne from a passing waiter and downed in one gulp.
Chrissyâs eyes went wide and she slipped her arm through his and murmured, âCome on, cher. Letâs talk, you look like you need it.â
Steve nodded and followed her outside to get some fresh air. Once there he told her all about his night and not just the Tommy fuckery.
âI was standing there already feeling jealous about the gorgeous female omega actress that he was talking to and then Tommy came in and poked at my other biggest insecurity and I just crumpled...â
Chrissy put her arm around his shoulder and laid her head on his chest.
âYouâre going to have to decide if that side of his job is going to be worth it, because if youâre freaking out over him just talking to an actress,â she said gently, âhow are you going to fare when he goes on tour?â
Steve sighed. It was one of the reasons that Neil never requested to court him. Being on tour all the time, the constantly being away from Steve who was very much of fixture of LA.
âI donât know,â he admitted softly. âBut he stirs something inside me that I have never felt before and itâs addicting. It feels like flying and I worry that Iâll fly too close to the sun and fall.â
âSoar anyway, Steve,â she advised him. âItâs scary and itâs new. But soar anyway. You deserve a chance at happiness, just be sure to tell Eddie when you feel this way. Because heâs not a mind reader. He canât see whatâs happening behind his back.â
Steve frowned. âWhat do you mean?â
âEddie was told Tommy was harassing you,â Chrissy said. She held up her hand before Steve could say anything. âNow before you get all in your head thinking that he had to be told to come to your rescue, we both know thatâs not true. But he had to be told you were in danger. Because it was happening where he couldnât see. So you have to tell him when youâre feeling left out or jealous, because if itâs happening where he canât see, he canât fix it.â
Steve let out a long sigh. âYeah, I see what you mean. If I had been more honest about the actress, Eddie would have already been by my side and maybe Tommy would have still approached or not, but probably not.â
She nodded. She turned around and saw Eddie looking for Steve. She spun Steve around and pushed him toward Eddie.
âNow go get your man.â
Steve stumbled into the venue and began moving quickly so he could reach Eddie faster.
Suddenly Eddie had an armful of soft omega.
âHey, sweetheart,â he murmured into Steveâs ear, wrapping his arms tightly around his waist. âYou ready to go home?â
âYeah,â Steve said softly. âTake me home, Eds.â
****
Part 15 Part 16 Part 17
The confrontation with Tommy had been stewing in my head since I first starting writing the story, originally it was going to be with the Nancy and Billy at New Yorker party but there was already too much going on in that chapter so it got moved here.

can i do more than one? đ
13 & 29 & 30
âËâčâ prompt: 13. who reaches for the otherâs hand first? || 29. one headcanon about this otp that breaks your heart || 30. one headcanon about this otp that mends it
âËâčâ reader: gn!reader, 29&30 revolve around normal au
âËâčâ cws: none
âËâčâ junote: thank you sm for requesting!! 29&30 seem to be very popular hc requests lolol đđ
RPF/REAL PERSON FICTION BELOW CUT, DNI IF ANTI-RPF
13 who reaches for the others hand first?
you do :3 i mean obviously it depends but itâs mostly you.
in the beginning it was mostly himâheâs a level 100 clinger grabbing your hand out of the blue and kissing your knuckles but i think he likes when you chase too. heâs the most expressive guy⊠ever lol jk so seeing you be that level is so đđ
he likes when he walks ahead of you a little when youâre out on the town; you get distracted by a storefront or something or other and his long legs carry him ahead of you so you have to catch up.
from behind, you grab his hand and he looks back and smiles at you, pulling you in closer so youâre side by side, his earphone wires tangling and up in your business, your hands together behind your back as he kisses your temple.
âohhhhh, my baby, you missed me soooo much, hm?â all sickly sweet and a tiny bit patronizing, fully joking but also meaning it a little because the annoyed look on your face makes it for him.
âsuuuurree,â you say, sarcasm dripping off your words, but when you untangle your arms, kissing his tattooed knuckles as you talk about what distracted youâjoost knows you mean it.
29 headcanon that breaks your heart
(normal au)
it takes a really long time for you two to get together. really really long time. the vast majority of the time spent was full of doubt and insecurities. he questionedâis this really what you want? you questioned yourselfâis this really what he wants?
the utter mismatch of your lives were not lost on you. it took a few years to get your shit together and finally admit it to yourselves that regardless of your doubts, you wanted each other.
your schedules were chaotic as it is and you didnât want to let each other down; neither of you would back down, always butting heads about making sure the other wouldnât have to compromise their life just to be with the other.
even after you got together, there was still a lot of guilt on your end about how long it took; he was always the one who wanted to push the boundary, finally make it so he was yours, but you objected out of fear.
tbh it was the opposite of commitment issuesâyou two were so committed to each other and didnât want to let go, it was just the whole label part.
-
this is meta about normal au, jtsfaoi, and tt, but this is why thereâs so much guilt on readerâs end about not showing up for him!! they feel like they wasted 2 years (oops is that a spoiler) out of the sake of being scared and for a long time feel like they need to make up for that for him :âââ) there will be lots of this talk in the future prequel parts of normal au so more heartbreak lols
30 headcanon that mends it
in my head normal au reader and joosti tosti get married and have 3 babies LOLZ soooo⊠i wanna share more but idk how much i can spoil ab my plans for the future ?!? i can prob write a little bullet point post about it if anyone wants it đ
the wedding is soooo small and spontaneousâlike you woke up that morning not even planning to do anything that day, next thing you know youâre at town hall at noon with as many of your friends that can make it to witness for you. you have a second bigger ceremony so you can have all the pictures and little wedding customs, but that first wedding still ended up being your favorite. can also write drabble about this lolol but canât promise iâll share much đ€«đ€«

How Maya and The Three Lost Me In 9 Words -.-
Was finally going to give Maya and The Three a watch after blowing it off for 3 years. I was a bit skeptical because of the drawn-out exposition, the cringe comedy, and the characters not getting off to a likable start. I did, however, like the way it was animated and the voice acting was pretty good. I figured after Maya was given the standard "with great power comes great responsibility" speech from her parents, she'd apologize for sneaking off, get ready for her quinceanera, and we can get to the actual plot. Oh, how naive I was to think the writing could even be THAT good as generic as that speech is!
Instead, after Maya's Mom tears her mask and says she's not to go out fighting again, Maya says the most insulting and irreversibly evil thing a child can say to their parents. "I hate you. I wish you weren't my mother."
...WHAT?! You mean after carrying you for 40 weeks, feeding you, bathing you, encouraging you to do your best, making you laugh, comforting you when you cried, empathizing with you when you were upset, teaching you right from wrong, helping you whenever you asked, and saving your life more times than you can count, THIS IS THE THANKS YOUR MOTHER GETS??!!! This isn't some slip of the tongue or something that you can take back! This is cruel! This is disrespectful! This is evil! If this was the tragic backstory of a villain, it'd still be evil, but at least it would be fitting for their character! Trouble is, MAYA IS THE HERO!!! We're supposed to be on her side from the get-go! We're supposed to relate and empathize with her so that we can route for her to succeed on her journey! Now, because she's already proven how cold-hearted, selfish, and evil she is, I COULD CARE LESS!!!
This show blew its chance of hooking me as an audience member, much less a diehard fan of this series! All because they made Maya so irreversibly evil within the first 13 minutes when she's supposed to be the hero! I'd sooner watch a dog chase its own tail for 5 hours than watch one more episode of Maya and The Three! THANKS FOR NOTHING!!! đĄđĄđĄ

Cursed
Title: Cursed
Pairing: Dean Winchester x Reader
Word Count: 4.9k
Warnings: Brief heavy drinking, suggested dub con (nothing actually happens besides PG-13 touching, but more is suggested and the reader does not want to participate), cursed Dean, language, angst, a little fluff
Summary: Deanâs cursed after a witch hunt and Sam and Y/N are left to deal with the consequences.
A/N: This is a super random one shot I started writing in 2018 that I just recently found in an old WIP folder. Iâve changed it a lot from what it originally started as, but I hope itâs enjoyable nonetheless. As always, thanks for reading and for supporting me in all the ways you do!
Dividers by @firefly-graphics
ïżœïżœDean,â you sigh. You steal the sweaty, half-drunk beer bottle from his hand. âYou canât just drink until you black out!â
He rolls his eyes at you, pulling another bottle from the paper carton beside him. Itâs already empty and he huffs in annoyance, setting it aside before grabbing the fourth and final beer from its slot.
âDean!â
He doesnât respond, instead choosing to pry the top off the bottle and take a long swig, then let out a satisfied sigh. The bottle cap clatters to the concrete beneath his pool chair. He smacks his lips and you try to disguise your disgust, even if he wonât care either way.
Frustrated, you stomp back to the motel room and push the door open, slamming your room key and the bottle youâd taken away on the table in front of Sam. The door hits the door jamb on the wall before bouncing back and slamming shut with a bang.
âYour brother is going to be the end of me!â you growl.Â
Sam looks up, eyebrows raised as he tries to transition his mind from the lore heâs been reading to what youâve said. âHmm?â
You groan and run a hand through your hair, inwardly praying for some patience, then look back down at him. âI said,â you begin, unable to even vaguely disguise how you feel, âthat your brother is slowly annoying me to death! Please tell me that you have a cure, or at least a counter-curse! I donât know how much longer I can take this!â
âI havenât found anything so far,â Sam replies, shaking his head apologetically. He reaches for the beer bottle and you snatch it away, grinding your teeth in frustration. Though you want to take a sip of it yourself to make the next few hoursâor days, depending on how long it takes you and Sam to find a cureâeasier, you grip it hard in one hand for a second before sighing and putting it back on the edge of the table. Just because Dean was drinking himself to death, doesnât necessarily mean that his younger brother had to suffer.
âJust⊠Just figure something out. I need to go back to keeping an eye on Mister R&R out there.â You gesture towards the door, then press the heels of your hands to your eyes. Youâre exhausted; not only had yesterdayâs witch hunt been nothing more than a dead end, but somehow, Dean managed to get himself cursed. Itâs up to you and Sam to find the witch and a cure, and Deanâs no help. The curse has left him incapable of doing any actual work, instead convincing him that all he should do for the rest of his life is relax. All youâve done for the last day and a half is chase after him to make sure that he doesnât break any laws or get himself hurt.
âWeâll figure it out, Y/N. I promise,â Sam reassures. âWhy donât you try to get some rest? Maybe we can convince Dean to come relax in here. If weâre lucky, he might sleep, too. Sleeping isnât workâif we spin it the right way he might go for it.â
You nod wearily and pick up the beer again. You dump its contents down the bathroom drain before tossing the empty bottle in the plastic trash can. âAre there any more of those in here?â you ask, heading back out to the main part of the room.
Sam turns in his seat to glance around the room, then shakes his head. âNope. I think Dean got âem all already.â He closes his laptop and pushes the chair back from the table, standing and grabbing your keycard. âYou take a shower and Iâll go get Dean. You look like hell.â
Snorting, you send Sam a grateful look and go over to your duffel, where you pull out your bag of toiletries and one of Deanâs old t-shirts. After a second of thought, you grab a pair of shorts, just in case heâs feeling grabby. âGee, thanks.â
The sound of the door closing is Samâs response. You shut your eyes for a second, soaking in the still, peaceful silence of the room before going into the bathroom and shutting the door behind you. Itâs the first time since yesterday morning that youâve been alone, and itâs the first time itâs been so quiet, too.
Minutes later, youâre scrubbing yourself down and ignoring the way that the dirty water pools around your feet as you rinse away the grime from the past two days. It feels good to finally be clean. Youâre just rinsing off your face and hair when you hear the bathroom door open and you freeze, carefully peeking open an eye to stare at the frosted white shower curtain. The person on the other side doesnât move, nor do they make a sound.
âSam?â you ask after a second. âIs that you?â
âGuess again,â Dean replies, a bit too cheerily for your liking.
You can only see his vague silhouette through the shower curtain, but you can clearly picture the arrogant smirk on his face. Itâs been one of the few expressions on his face since heâd been cursed. The others in the rotation have left you equally as irritated.
Pursing your lips, you quickly finish rinsing off and turn the knob to shut off the water. âHand me my towel,â you say, sticking a hand out around the curtain. Itâs a request youâve made many times in the past, yet now it comes out harsher, more like an order or a command than a simple task.
âWhy? Itâs not like we havenât seen each other naked before,â Dean counters.
You sigh, your arm dropping slightly as you keep it held out. âDean, come on. This isnât you. Please just hand me my towel.â
âOf course itâs me,â he says. âIâm just wondering why my girl wonât let me see her wet and naked. We could have a lot of fun that wayâŠâ His fingertips brush your forearm as his silhouette moves closer, and you snatch your arm back.
âYouâre cursed, Dean. Weâve talked about this. Now please, hand me my towel.â Dean only hums in response and you growl quietly to yourself before yelling, âSam! Sam, get in here!â
A moment later, the bathroom door squeaks open again and you hear Sam shout in annoyance.
âJesus Christ, Dean! Put on some clothes!â
âOf course heâs naked,â you mumble under your breath. âWhy wouldnât he be?â
Dean chuckles and you shift your weight from one foot to the other, trying not to slip and fall. The chill from the bathroom has started to set in now that youâre no longer under hot water, and goosebumps have broken out over your damp skin. You shiver.
âSam,â you call, a little louder so you can be certain that heâll hear you. âSam, please just hand me my towel. Your idiot brother refuses to.â
You feel the rough fabric in your hand as soon as you stick your arm out again, and you quickly yank it inside the shower with you before Dean can snatch it. After wrapping it around yourself, you pull the shower curtain open to find Dean buttoning his jeans, his upper half still bare.
âThanks for putting pants on,â you say, pushing him out of the way so that you can get to the sink. Hopefully, your praise will incentivize him to do what you ask. Maybe heâll be more willing to nap that way. Itâs only a thread of hope, but youâll cling to it until it breaks.
You wipe the fog off the mirror with your hand and peer at your reflection for a second before grabbing your comb and starting to comb out your hair, shivering when cold water drips onto your bare shoulders.
âLet me do that,â Dean says. He grabs the comb before you can answer and picks up where you left off, leaving you to hold up your towel in silence. His hands are gentle and for a moment, you forget that heâs cursed. This is something he does for you all the time. Itâs one of the ways he shows you that he cares for you, even when heâs wrapped up in his own thoughts or when the two of you are too tired to even talk.
When the thought pops into your head, however, you begin to analyze the situation, trying to figure out exactly how this is helping Dean relax. So far, heâs only done things that help him relax, not others, which means that this somehow has to be more beneficial to him than it is to you.
Narrowing your eyes slightly, you reach up and take the comb from his hands, ignoring the spark of electricity that runs up your arm when your skin brushes against his. âWhy are you doing this?â you ask, crossing your arms over the top of your towel as you turn to face him.
Dean shrugs, glancing at his reflection in the mirror behind you. His expression seems more normal than it has since the witch hunt, and you grip the edge of the towel a little tighter, watching him carefully. Has the curse been broken somehow?
âDunno. I like playing with your hair, I guess.â A familiar, lazy smile crosses his face as he meets your eyes a second later, and he takes a step forward so his hips pin yours against the bathroom counter. âPlus, I know what happens when you get relaxed and you feel taken care of.â
Scoffing, you push Dean off of you and toss the comb down, then grab your shirt and shorts off the counter. âGet out. I need to change. GoâŠâ You pause, frantically wracking your brain for some suggestion he might actually go for. âGo wait for me in bed, okay? Yeah? Iâll come join you in a minute.â You hope that your words sound promising enough, even if you donât really plan on doing anything with him while heâs cursed. You couldnât stomach it.
Dean dips his head to stare down at you with the same lazy, drunk smile on his face as before. âOkay. Iâll be waiting, sweetheart. Donât take too long.â
He slips out the door, finally leaving you alone, and you quickly push the door shut and flip the lockâsomething you shouldâve done in the first place. You shudder, then glance at your phone on the counter.Â
âCome on,â you mutter. âAnything is better than this.â
Reluctantly, you force yourself to pick up the phone and send a short, carefully worded text before setting it aside and changing into your clean clothes. Rowenaâs response comes just as soon as youâre dressed, and you close your eyes when you read her message, relieved. After forwarding it to Sam, you carry your things out to the main room, only to find that Deanâs just where he had promised he would be. A quick glance around the room shows that Sam has chosen to make himself scarce, and you silently curse his name in every language you know.
âHey there, Y/N,â Dean drawls, directing your attention back to him. His jeans are unbuttoned again, though not unzipped, and you swallow the lump in your throat at the sight of his half-naked frame sprawled out on the bed, trying to focus on the task at hand. You need to sleep, and you figure that if Dean is sleeping, he canât get into any trouble. Itâs getting him to sleep that will be the problem.
âHey,â you casually reply. You set your things down in your bag, taking a minute to rearrange them with your back to Dean. You hear noise coming from the bed as you plug your phone in on the TV stand and you slow your movement, listening as Dean moves the pillows and blankets around to his liking. When you turn around again, the extra pillows are all on the floor and heâs settled in the middle of the bed, his arms crossed over his chest as he regards you with a cocky smile.
âYou gonna come over here or what?â
Forcing a smile of your own, you cross the room and grab a pillow off the floor, then crawl into bed with Dean. His hands immediately go for your hips in an attempt to pull you on top of him, but you push them away.
âRoll over,â you say, tucking your wet hair behind your ear. âLet me give you a massage first.â
Dean raises an eyebrow, clearly liking your suggestion, then moves over to lay on his stomach. You get to work, doing your very best to get him to relax as much as possible.
You mustâve massaged Deanâs back and shoulders for an hour before you finally hear him let out a soft snore. Your hands are sore, but relief floods you and you carefully move to the opposite edge of the bed and lay on your stomach. You close your eyes, desperately hoping that youâll fall asleep quickly so you can get as much rest as possible before he awakes.
When you wake up, you can hear Dean arguing with Sam, their voices hushed despite the anger lacing their words. Slowly, you open your eyes and lie still, listening. Youâve rolled over onto your side in your sleep, so you can stare at the wall and watch their shadows as they argue.
âDean, you canât go out right now. Y/N is sleeping and Iâm not going with you,â Sam huffs. Heâs all at once placating and annoyed with his older brother, the same way a parent whoâs fed up with their childâs antics might speak. âI have better things to do than pick up chicks at a bar, including finding something to help break whatever curse youâre under.â
âI donât need your help, Sammy. Iâm fine! And Iâm not going to a bar, Iâm just going to get some food from the taco place down the street!â
âReally? Youâre not cursed? Is that why you were taking up most of the bed and Y/Nâs only got the edge? Because thatâs not like you, man. Youâve been acting differently since we got back yesterday.â
âI told you, Iâm fine,â Dean hisses. âJust drop it.â
You listen intently for whatever Sam has to say in response, but itâs too quiet for you to make out anything. After a minute, the door to the parking lot opens, then slams shut. You donât hear Sam go after his brother, nor do you hear anyone moving around the room, and you frown against your pillow.Â
Confused, you sit up in bed and rub your eyes before going over to the window, carefully pulling the curtain away from the edge so you can peek outside. Itâs pitch black outside. You hadnât glanced at the clock on the nightstand as youâd crawled out of bed, but youâre certain itâs the middle of the night. Youâd slept for almost eight hours, which is practically a miracle.
The boys are just outside the door, on the walkway that runs from the motel office and past every room, all the way to the end of the building. Theyâre still arguing, but Sam looks more shocked than frustrated. The parking lot lights flicker for a second, and when they come back on, you realize that both Sam and Dean are staring at you.
Feeling a bit guilty that you were caught eavesdropping, you drop the curtain. Then, you step over to the door and pull it open so you can stand in the doorway. Though itâs dark out, Sam and Dean are close enough where you can see them clearly in the overhead lights, and you look between them.
âIs everything okay?â you ask.
The two brothers glance at each other, their unspoken conversation ending with Deanâs shoulders slumping, before Sam bitterly answers, âDean has something heâd like to tell you.â
âOkayâŠâ You turn your attention to Dean, unsure of what to expect.
It takes him a minute to speak up. âI, uh⊠I wasnât cursed.â
You stare at him for a second, trying to understand how his behavior the past 36 hours lines up with that statement. âWhat?â
âThereâs no curse. I wasnât cursed before, and Iâm not cursed now. Iâm fine,â he says.
Anger is starting to rise up into your chest and you clench your hands into fists. Slowly, in a way you hope will get you the clearest answer possible, you reply, âWhat do you mean there was no curse? If thereâs no curse, then why have you been acting the way you have?â
Dean has the decency to look ashamed, and he looks away to stare at the window leading into the motel office. The employee manning the front desk looks asleep, with one hand propping his head up on the laminate countertop. The vacancy sign in the window flickers. Sam leaves and heads to the Impala, but you only spare him a glance. A few moments later, the car starts up and drives off toward the main part of town.Â
âI donât know. I needed a break from the responsibilities. I wanted to live like there was nothing to worry about, just for a day,â Dean tells you after the parking lot returns to silence once more.
You canât decide if youâre more shocked at the revelation that heâs not cursed, angry that heâs done what he did, or saddened that Dean felt the way he had, yet he hadnât felt like he could talk to you about it. You wouldâve given him the best day off ever, had you known thatâs what he needed. Instead, heâs taken advantage of you and his brother, and heâs treated you poorly in the process. Heâs acted like a complete and total selfish asshole.
âI canât believe you,â you finally scoff. You cross your arms over your chest, but you drop them back down to your sides almost immediately. Angry tears fill your eyes. âYou are so selfish! If you had just said something, we couldâve done whatever youâd wanted, but instead, you had to act like youâd been cursed! We were worried sick, Dean!â
You step forward into his space, jabbing a finger at his chest. âI was terrified that weâd never find a cure, and the way you treated me?â You scoff again and shake your head. âUnbelievable. Unbelievable, Dean! I canât believe youâd treat me like that. I canât believe youâd treat Sam like that! Do you know that we were this close to making a deal with Rowena?â You bring your hand up between his face and yours, holding your thumb and index finger only an inch apart to emphasize your point. âThis close!â
âI know. Iâm sorry,â he answers, his voice quiet. He stares down at the sidewalk.
You drop your hand back down your side. âAre you?â
He nods and lifts his head to look up at you. In any other situation, you mightâve broken at the grief in his eyes, but youâre too furious to back down now.
âY/N, you gotta believe me! If Iâd known how out of hand this was going to get, I wouldnât have done it, but by the time I realized how far Iâd taken it, it was too late! I hadnât thought of a way to get rid of the fake curse without it being too big of an issue, so I had to keep rolling with it.â
You shake your head again, shocked and disgusted that heâd done something so drastic. Throwing up both your hands, you take a step back towards the motel room. âYou had to keep rolling with it? I canât. I canât deal with this right now! Iâm going back to bed.â You turn and start to dig for your keycard in your pajama pocket, even though you know itâs not there.
âWe can talk about it whenever youâre ready,â Dean says. âIâll make it up to you, I swear.â
âYou know, I honestly donât even know if I want to talk to you,â you snap, turning to face him again. âAnd Iâm not sure that there even is a way for you to make this up to me, Dean. This is so far beyond the realm of things that you couldâve done that I canât even wrap my brain around it!â
You stomp back to the motel room door and yank on the handle. Predictably, it doesnât budge, and you let out a shriek of frustration. Dean silently offers you his keycard, holding it by your hand though he stands just beyond your view. You snatch it from him and shove it into the slot above the handle. When the light turns green, you shove the door open and step inside, then slam it behind you again, leaving the Dean standing alone on the walkway.
Though youâd said you were going back to bed, youâre too riled up to sleep, so you grab your toiletries and head to the bathroom for your second shower of the day. Thankfully, this is the nicest motel youâve had in a while. The water pressure may not be great, but the hot water lasts for a long time and thereâs nothing suspicious growing anywhere in the bathroom. Once inside, you lock the door behind you and toss your stuff onto the vanity, ignoring it when it slides into the sink instead of staying on the countertop.
As you stand under the hot spray of the shower, you stare hard at the wall. You half-listen to the room, too, just in case Sam or Dean comes back in after you, but mostly you let yourself stew.
Deanâs a great guy. Heâs an even better boyfriend, despite all his flaws; heâs attentive, kind, protective (to a fault), and he makes you laugh. He knows when to be gentle and when to leave things be, especially when youâre in a mood. You love him. That thought makes you frown harder, and you cross your arms over your bare chest. You love Dean, but heâs treated you so poorly that you can only doubt if he loves you in the same way. Surely someone couldnât do something so horrid to someone they loved?
One of the boys knocks on the door and you ignore them. Youâd been so wrapped up in your thoughts that you hadnât heard them enter the room. When they knock again, you roll your eyes and drop your arms, then grab the conditioner.
âWhat?â you snap.
âSam came back. Weâre going out to get some food. Do you want your usual?â Dean asks.
Huffing, you squirt a handful of conditioner into your palm and close the bottle, and you practically slam it onto the shelf in the shower. It immediately slips off and clatters to the floor, narrowly missing your foot. You curse and leave it there.
âY/N?â Dean asks again.
âSure! Fine! Whatever, Dean! Get whatever you want for me, I donât care!â
âY/Nââ
âJust leave me alone? Okay?â
Thereâs silence on the other side of the door, and you think for a second that Deanâs actually done what youâve asked for the first time since the hunt, but then he asks,
âDo you need a break? From me?â
You pause, your hands frozen where theyâve been working the conditioner into your hair, and you stare at the shower curtain for a moment or two while you think over Deanâs words.Â
âI donât know,â you finally reply. âIâm angry, and Iâm really fucking hurt. Do you know how exhausted I was, Dean? How worried I was that the second I stopped making sure you didnât do something stupid, youâd get hurt or arrested? I didnât shower after the hunt, and Iâve barely eaten anything.
âAnd when you came in here while I was showering earlier? I was so scared youâd do something that you couldnât truly agree to. And then, for a minute, when you combed my hair, it was like everything was normal again. I guess it was normal, but I didnât know that then, did I? And then, after a while, I thought you were doing it just to come onto me, and you played that up. You made me so uncomfortable, Dean, I wasnât sure Iâd be able to stop you from doing something if you were really dead set on having sex with me. If youâd really been cursed, you wouldnât have been in your right mind to agree to anything, and I wouldâve had to live with that thought if something had actually happened! I was so terrified of that, and yet the whole time you were just pretending! Like it was a game to you, or something!â
Thereâs a strangled noise from the other side of the door and you close your eyes, hands trembling. Dean doesnât speak again for a minute. When thereâs only silence, you start rinsing out your hair, and then you turn off the shower and grab your towel from the bar.
âI donât know how to make it up to you,â Dean says, startling you as you reach for your comb. Itâs exactly where youâd left it last night, after youâd thrown it aside. You stand on the cheap bath mat, holding the tiny plastic comb as you wait for Dean to continue.
âI probably never will, but I want to try. I know Iâve messed up, and I know I did horrible things. You have no idea how horrible I feel and how sick it makes me that I made you so uncomfortable. I shouldâve stopped right away. I shouldnât have even pretended to want that from you. If you canât forgive me for what I did and how I made you feel, Iâll understand and Iâll leave you alone forever, but I love you, Y/N. I never meant for this to happen. I donât know what got into me.â
âThis isnât like you, Dean,â you interject, quieter than before. You feel deflated after his speech. âWhatâs going on?â
âI donât know,â he says, almost pleading with you, as if you have all the answers. You wish you did.
You lean sideways against the door. Itâs cold against your shoulder and you hold the towel tighter, staring at your blurred reflection in the foggy mirror. âWhy didnât you just talk to me?âÂ
âI donât know. I shouldâve. My headâs messed up and I was afraid you wouldnât react the way I needed you to.â
âItâs okay to feel scared when you talk about how you feel, but weâve gotta be honest with each other if this is going to work. You have to be honest with the person youâre dating, no matter what. Thatâs a big thing, Dean.â
âI know.â He pauses. âIâm sorry.â
âMe too.â
The two of you stand there in silence, each of you on opposite sides of the door. Finally, you straighten up and turn the handle. It unlocks automatically and you pull the door open to meet Deanâs eyes. He looks shocked that youâre facing him so soon, and though his eyes flicker down at the white towel youâre still wearing, he mostly just holds your gaze, waiting for you to speak first. His eyes are red and puffy. Heâs been crying, and though heâd mentioned that Sam was back, the room is silent.
âThis kind of thing can never happen again,â you tell him firmly. âIf it does, Iâm out. Iâm telling Sam that, too, so that if you pull something like this again and then try to find me, he can stop you.â
Dean nods. His voice breaks as he replies, âThatâs fair. You deserve to be with someone whoâs good for you, even if itâs not me.â
âAnd we have to talk about how weâre feeling, even if itâs hard. Maybe we should come up with a plan for when you feel this way.â Dean nods again and you look down at the comb in your hands. You pause for a second to collect your thoughts. âDean, Iâm still angry with you, and I probably will be for at least a little while, but Iâm also hurt that you felt you couldnât talk to me. I know Sam probably is too, but I do understand how you feel. Youâre not alone in this.â
âI know that now,â he softly answers.
You look up. âDo you?â
He nods. âIâm sorry,â Dean repeats.
âI know.â You look back at the comb, then up at him again. âYou can start by combing out my hair and braiding it in those fancy braids you pretend not to know how to do.â You hold out the comb and when Dean opens his mouth to protest, you raise an eyebrow at him. âYou wanna fix things? This is step one, Dean.â
He sighs and takes the comb, his shoulders slumped dramatically. Thereâs a hint of his normal self in his expression now. You step further into the bathroom to allow him room to stand behind you.
Deanâs hands are gentle as he begins to comb out your wet hair. You glance up at him in the mirror. He catches your eye almost right away, then smiles slightly. You smile back, just enough for him to see it before he focuses back on your hair, the first olive branch that youâve extended him.

Birds of a Feather
2.3k words
Featuring: wyatt johnston x female reader
Genre: fluff, slight angst
Summary: you never wanted summers with wyatt to end
Note: this has been in my drafts for i think 2 months, i figured Iâd finally post it đ
Summers in Toronto were always something to look forward to. But even more so when they meant that Wyatt would be home.
Despite that also meaning his team had been eliminated from the playoffs, you always looked forward to summers with Wyatt. Whether it was taking the boat out on the water, relaxing by the pool, joining him for offseason workouts; your summers revolved around one another.
Having been friends since you were 13, youâd grown up around one another. Went through your awkward phases of puberty around each other, shared your first kiss due to a horrid game of spin the bottle that was played at one of Wyattâs teammates while his parents were out of town.
And now, the two of you both 21 years old, were in that weird friend-situationship as you liked to refer to it. You werenât dating, but werenât not dating. It was beyond complicated.
Though neither of you had ever fully confessed your feelings, you both knew they were there. And everyone around you could see it too. But the risk of potentially losing one another should things go south scared either of you from ever taking things a step further. So instead, every summer was yet another opportunity to see how things would play out should you to take that step. Only to decide at the end of summer that you two werenât ready, or Wyatt needed to focus on the upcoming season.
You never argued or tried to push Wyatt in the direction of taking your relationship to a new level, not wanting to ruin what you two had. But you often wondered what he was scared of, or why he felt you two wouldnât work out.
Letting out a sigh as you wiped your brow, youâd finished rinsing off your car after giving it a much needed wash. The birds having a field day leaving you surprises all over it at the beach.
As youâd turned off the hose, you heard the blare of country music coming from the down the street. Smiling to yourself you knew that could only mean one thing.
âWyatt Johnston!â
Running to meet him at the bottom of your driveway, he couldnât climb out of his car fast enough. Spinning you in his arms as he held you tight. Lingering there for what felt like forever.
âOh, youâre washing cars? Care to do mine?â He playfully handed you his keys as he pulled up a chair from the garage, resting his hands behind his head with a smile. âReally Wy? Youâre here for 30 seconds and youâre already being a pain in my side?â
âOh come onnn, Iâll take you out on the boat tonight?â
He knew you could never resist a boat day, the idea of relaxing on the water with a cold drink in your hand. Plus Wyatt in nothing but his swim trunks, you couldnât turn that down.
âFine! But you better be supplying the drinks too!â
Returning to the hose, you turned it on before lugging it down the driveway. Rinsing off Wyattâs car before turning to look at him. Eyes closed, resting his head back as he relaxed in the shade. He really made it too easy for you to mess with him.
As you came around the backside of the car, you pointed the hose in his direction, spraying the boy from head to toe earning a yell from him.
âY/n! Oh youâre dead now!â
Sprinting from the chair he chased you around his car, stealing the hose from your hand as he drenched you as payback. âOkay, okay, okay! I think you got me back Wy!â
He retreated up the driveway to shut off the hose, laughing hysterically at you standing there dripping wet with a grumpy look on your face. He grabbed a towel for you from inside the garage before discarding his shirt and laying it on the driveway to dry.
You wrapped yourself in the towel as he pulled up a chair for you to join him. His hair now slightly damp, a few water droplets falling to his chest and slowly trailing down to his abs. You tried your best not to stare, but you couldnât help it. Heâd definitely been working out during the season, and it showed. Compared to last summer he was definitely in the best shape youâd ever seen him in.
âYou know if you were trying to get me shirtless, you couldâve just asked?â Wyatt laughing as you quickly averted your gaze, looking anywhere but him, embarrassed that heâd caught you.
âYeah I was staring at your patchy chest hair, guess itâs a good thing youâre playoff beard didnât look that rough.â
He shook his head at your attempt to deflect from what you were truly looking at. The two of you catching up before Wyatt bid you farewell.
âOkay, give me like 2 hours to get some things together and then itâs boat time baby!!â
You simply laughed at him as he danced down your driveway before climbing back into his car. Peeling off down the street with his music blaring once again.
-
âWyatt, toss me another beer!â
You laid back, propped up on your elbows catching sun as you watched Wyatt toss Tucker a can from the cooler. He laughed as Tucker missed and the can fell into the water.
âMaybe thatâs a sign he doesnât need another beer.â Wyatt shook his head with a smile as he sat next to you, then laid his head on your thigh as he closed his eyes. Your fingers playing with the wisps of wet hair on his forehead, a slight smile on his lips as he felt your touch.
The two of you could lay in each other's company for hours without a word. Being close to one another was enough for the two of you, though youâd preferred to have your hands on one another. Wyatt was a big physical touch guy, giving or receiving. It was his way of showing you how much he cared, that he was paying attention, that he was comfortable around you.
âI canât believe I get the whole summer to do this with you.â Wyatt spoke as he relaxed further into your touch.
âI know, maybe weâll get lucky and itâll never end.â
He softly chuckled at your words, but you werenât joking. Deep down you truly didnât want this summer to end, despite it only just beginning. And not the boat days, or laying in the sun. You meant your time with Wyatt. To be close with him like this. To feel like you two were finally more than just friends, and have that last more than just the few summer months. You wanted this feeling year round.
The day had come to an end, Wyatt bringing the boat in while you cleaned up from the dayâs festivities. He smiled in his seat as he watched you tucking a stray hair behind your ear, picking up empty beer cans Tucker had left scattered about.
This was what Wyatt adored about you, always so selfless and caring. Being the first person to volunteer to help with something, even if that was cleaning up beer cans youâd never touched.
As you made your way around the deck, checking to make sure you didnât miss a thing, you felt Wyattâs arms snake around your waist. Pulling you into his lap as you playfully protested.
âWy! Iâm almost done, you canât have these cans sitting out here all night they will get gross in the sun tomorrow.â He groaned against your skin, his grip not letting up as you finally surrendered. Dropping the trash bag next to you, you turned around and straddled his waist, making yourself more comfortable as he smiled up at you.
âThank you.â
Scrunching your face in confusion, you left out a soft laugh, âfor what?â
His smile only growing bigger at your innocence, âfor being so amazing, for being you. I donât think my summers would ever be the same without you.â
Trying to hide the blush on your cheeks you dropped your gaze, his words sending a wave of warmth throughout your body. Though you couldnât help but wonder if this was all it would ever be for you two, just summers of fun and nothing more.
âToo bad you only have me for the summer.â
Playfully you joked as you ruffled his hair, still damp from his time in the water. His smile fading slightly as he watched you resume cleaning up the deck. Once finished he hosed it down, before the two of you headed to Wyattâs car, then home.
The drive home was quiet. On one hand you were exhausted from the baiting excursion, but on the other you were still thinking of your words to Wyatt. How theyâd gotten no response from him. Surely you thought he might make some smart ass remark, or say you werenât just his for the summer. But nothing.
Wyatt picked up on your silence, assuming you were just tired. He rested a hand on your thigh, brushing his thumb over your now sunkissed skin as he stole a quick glance at you. No reaction.
âEverything okay?â
Humming a response you continued looking out the window, your own thoughts distracting you from Wyatt as you tried to not get worked up over something that in his eyes was probably so small.
He didnât want to push you to talk, instead taking back his hand as he turned his attention fully to the road. Wyatt hated seeing you upset, especially if it was his fault. He hated even more when you wouldnât talk to him, and he was forced to wrack his brain for a possible explanation.
Not wanting the night to end with anything left unsaid, he took a quick left, before pulling into the parking lot of an ice cream shop the two of you practically kept in business the last 4 summers with how often youâd frequent the place.
Before you could question anything, Wyatt was out of the car and headed to the counter, placing an order for your usual treats. While he waited for the ice cream, you hopped out of the truck, flipping down the hatch for the bed as you climbed up, kicking your feet as you waited for him.
Smiling proudly he walked across the parking lot with ice cream in hand. Handing you yours before he climbed up to join you.
âWhy the sudden pit stop?â
Playfully smiling, you swiped your tongue to catch the ice cream that was dripping down the edge of the cone. Wyatt shrugged as he copied your action. âI mean, can you be mad at me after I buy you ice cream?â
Letting out a sigh you immediately protested. âWyatt, Iâm not mad at you.â
âY/nâŠyou act like I havenât known you since we were 13. Youâve been upset with me since we got off the boat. So, Iâm sweetening you up to get some answers out of you.â
Wyatt flashing a smile at you, making you melt like putty in his hands. The two of you sat in silence, eating your ice cream as you tried to figure out where to begin with answering him.
âI justâŠis this only gonna ever be a summer thing? With us?â
He hummed a confused tone of a response as he wiped some of his ice cream from the corner of his mouth.
âNo, I donât know. It doesnât have to be, I just. I feel like its safe to keep this to just the summers.â
âSafe? What does that mean?â
Wyatt tosses his last bit of his cone to the ground as he sighs. âI donât know, I mean, you donât think I want this to last longer than summer? Of course I do! But, is long distance fair to you? What if things arenât the same? The last thing I want to do is ruin our friendship by us trying and I end up hurting you.â
Now tossing your ice cream to the side you reached for his hand, trying to stop his babbling. âWhy would you end up hurting me?â
âBecause during the season I might not be the same guy. Iâll be focusing on games, and traveling. I just feel like in the summer itâs easy to commit to you and IâŠI want to try. Believe me I do. But Iâm scared that Iâll fuck things up, that I canât be the same guy for you. And Iâd rather have summers with you than nothing at all.â
His hands now holding your face as he rested his forehead on yours. The two of you sitting in silence as you tried to reassure him that he was wrong.
âWy, you canât be scared of something that hasnât even happened yet. All we know is summers together, and while I absolutely love summers with you. I hate when they have to end.â
He smiled as your hands entangled with his, âMe too.â
âSo then letâs try Wyatt! I mean, I know this summer just started, but letâs make a promise to each other to not let summer end. And when you leave me to go back to Dallas, we will keep things going.â
You could see a nervous look in his eyes, despite his smile.
âAnd, if I fuck things up? You promise not to hate me?â
âWyatt, I donât think I could ever hate you. And I reallyyyy donât think youâll fuck things up.â
A mischievous look coming across his face as he looked down at you, âyou say that now, but I hate to say that you have too much faith in me. Iâm bound to fuck something up along the way.â
âWell thankfully, itâs only the first day of summer so weâve got plenty of time until that happens.â
Wyatt picked you up from the bed of his truck, spinning you around before setting you down on solid ground, stealing a kiss from you in the process.
âYou promise this will be okay? And even if I mess things up, cause Iâm sure I will, youâll work through it with me? Because, I donât think I could stand to lose you.â
Holding out your pinky, you smiled up at him.
âI promise.â

Silk from their soul (13)
The Ghoul / Cooper Howard x f!reader [no use of y/n]
Rated: T Words: 1.7k Summary: Daisy, Daisy
Series Masterlist My Masterlist
Sunlight wakes you up.
Your Cowboy isnât nearby and he definitely didnât wake you up for your watch. You stretch, noting the bandage wrapped around your arm. You canât even imagine how tired you must have been to sleep through him removing the needle.
Then again, yesterday had been quite the day.
Thereâs a bottle next to you, filled with distinctive red and yellow pills. You swallow one down, figuring the lingering effects of the Rad-Away will stack well enough with the Rad-X. No sense in not being careful, and their presence is signal enough that your Cowboy has his mind on some things.
Good, so did you.
The fire is out and you slowly sit up, digging in your pack for breakfast. Youâre halfway through a ration bar when he strides back in, all confidence and cocksure grin.
âLooks like we might make the foothills today if we hustle.â
You nod, swinging the pack on and climbing to your feet, mouth half full of dry oats. The sudden movement makes you wince and you try to shift your weight as inconspicuously as possible.
He notices, of course.
âYou hurt?â
âSore,â you mumble, trying not to meet his eye.
âSore? From wha-?â He seems to suddenly realize and that cocksure grin of his gets even wider, if thatâs possible. âWell now, canât say thereâs much I can do about that.â
âWell, Iâm going to need some recovery time,â you tell him primly, trying to hide your smile when he laughs.
âSure thing, sweetheart,â he catches your hand and presses a kiss to your fingers, slipping one into his mouth briefly before letting you slide away, âplenty of other trouble we can get up to.â
Was it hot in here? You were suddenly sweating.
Thankfully - for your journey more than your sanity - he sets off for the day after that exchange, pace steady and sure. The ground is mostly dirt and you walk side by side down whatâs left of an old road.
âCan I ask you a question?â
He glances your way from under the brim of his hat. âSâpose that depends on the question.â
âWhat do you do?â He blinks at you and you rephrase, âI mean, youâre obviously pretty good with a gun, youâre⊠what you are. Iâm just wondering - what do you do? To earn caps? To pass the time.â
âOh,â he turns from you to scan the horizon, drawing the word out, âbit of this, bit of that.â
âThatâs not an answer.â
âNever said I would.â
You huff, picking your way around some rubble. âGigolo?â
It gives you a little too much satisfaction to see him stumble, head turned back to look incredulously at you. âI beg your pardon?â
âYouâd be good at it,â you say blandly as you pass him. You donât get far, his hand catching on the back of your skirt and pulling you back into his chest.
âThey do say if youâre good at something, never do it for free.â
âIâm afraid I donât have any caps on me,â you sigh theatrically, reaching back to slink a hand behind his neck, âdo you take any other forms of payment?â
He bites you in retaliation, his tongue quickly soothing the flesh. You should be more concerned, you know that. Heâs necrotic and by all accounts has been for a long time. The chance heâs eaten a person were pretty high - although you can hope they werenât alive at the time and deserved it a little.
âI think we can make some arrangements,â he drawls into your ear and you giggle, twisting away from him. Thereâs a group of abandoned buildings ahead of you and you dart towards them, listening for his footfalls behind you. Heâs quick to follow, a gruff laugh escaping him as he gives chase.
You turn to skip backwards, grinning at him. âCâmon, you can do better than that.â
He bares his teeth at you and starts to say something when his eyes dart over your shoulder and suddenly heâs next to you, pushing you behind him.
âWell howdy fellas, something we can do for you?â
You turn and see them - four men, each with guns, standing in the road ahead. Thereâs another on top of a building nearby.
âWeâre after the girl.â
âWell Iâm thinking you might have to find one of your own, this one here is mine.â Heâs keeping himself between you and them and you have no problem letting him. Heâll heal up a heck of a lot quicker than you anyway.
âWe ainât lookin for trouble, ghoul. I imagine weâre all after the same thing.â
He cuts his eyes to you before turning back to them. âI thought you might say something stupid like that.â
The first gunshot takes you by surprise, his pistol jumping into his hand so quickly it looks like magic. One man goes down instantly as his compatriots scatter. Your Cowboy goes for the next but you lay a restraining hand on his arm, pulling him behind a wall.
âI thought we agreed on not shooting first and asking questions later?â
âI donât intend to ask them questions, darlinâ,â he responds, unholstering his rifle and casually taking aim around the corner. The shot makes you cover your ears but you still hear someone scream in the distance. The wall next to his head explodes and he jerks back, a piece of stone embedded just beneath his eye.
âYouâre hurt!â you cry out, pulling his face towards yours. He shrugs you off, touching the area before refocusing.Â
âItâll be fine.â
You pull at everything in you and force him to look at you. âLet me talk to them.â
He curses but doesnât shoot again, glaring at you all the while. You wait a moment before calling out in your sweetest voice, âIt seems we got off on the wrong foot.â
âThat bastard killed Darryl!â
You glare at your Cowboy who looks entirely unrepentant. âWell, you were holding guns on us, itâs a dangerous place out here.âÂ
A breeze caresses your face and you take a chance, stepping around the wall over your Cowboyâs spluttered protests. Your skirt whips around your knees and against the back of your neck as you hold your hands up. âIâm sure we can come to an amicable agreement!â
A head pops up, the scarred face staring back at you slack jawed. âWell hell you look just like her, Daisy Mae in the flesh.â
Groaning softly you try to keep your expression chipper. âAinât that something! May I ask what youâre here for?â
âYou know what weâre here for.â
Well shit, you did. It was too much to hope that that asshole hadnât sent people after you. But you really didnât want them talking about that. âWell, then I think you also know that Iâm not really interested in acquiescing.â
âWhat the fuck does that mean?â
âShe ainât going with you, numbnuts.â
You try not to roll your eyes at your Cowboyâs words. He gives you a look of wide-eyed innocence. âWant me to rephrase that as a question?â
Thereâs the sound of a shot, and suddenly pain blooms along your side. You clutch at it automatically, gasping softly, and then heâs there. Your Cowboy. One arm wrapping around your waist and pulling you out of the line of fire.
Distantly you hear yelling, hear the men arguing with each other. But all you can see is the burned face of the man above you.Â
âAh shit,â he grunts, pressing a cloth to the wound, âyou ainât got enough blood to be losing this much.â
âSorry,â you mumble in return, trying to give him a halfhearted smile, âIâd rather it be on the inside too.â
He gives you a quick smile, pressing your hands to the cloth. âAm I allowed to do some hurting now?â
You wave a hand weakly, âHave at it.â
Itâs efficient, whatever it is. Seven shots over the course of less than a minute. All of them from him as far as you can tell. None of them sound far enough away to be anyone else. You poke at the wound as he does it, grimacing at the ragged edges. Hopefully it wasnât organic - you could probably heal up from a bit of metal if you were careful - but organic stuff had a tendency to fester.
Boots crunch on rock and you barely glance up as your Cowboy drops into a crouch next to you. Heâs got a pack in his hand, a bandage in the other. You try to wave him off but he bats your hands away.Â
âIt ainât much, but itâll set you up til we can find somewhere safe.â
âIâm fine,â you try to tell him even as he presses the somewhat clean gauze to your wound. âI donât need-â
He cuts you off with a hand around your wrist, pulling you to your feet and throwing your arm over his shoulder. You cry out in pain and he freezes for a moment before wrapping an arm around your waist.Â
âYouâve been shot, so unless you and I got a fair bit more in common than youâve been letting on, we need to get it treated.â
You nod, biting your lip. It hurts like a son of a bitch and you do your best to keep quiet as he leads you off in a different direction, towards what looks like a decently preserved building. Inside there are bedrolls and the remains of a fire - even a cot in one corner which he leads you near before leaning you against a wall. A moment later he reappears with a blanket from your pack, throwing it over the stained mattress and guiding you to lay down.
âWait here, donât move. Iâm going to go roll the bodies, see if they have anything on them.â
âRoger that,â you say weakly, trying to give him a halfhearted salute. He snorts a laugh before heading out.
You close your eyes, just for a moment. Just to keep your head from spinning.

I NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD LUO BINGHE UNTIL NOW
Holy shit I was so swayed by SQQâs POV that I honestly never truly understood LBHâs intentions until I read this line In Ch 2 (SVSSS Seven Seas)/Ch 13 at the demonic evasion arc:
When a person is affected with Without a Cure, starting from their wound, their spiritual flow becomes disconnected. This schism slowly spreads to their entire body. In the end, not only does their spiritual qi coagulate and stagnate, so does their blood."
So then when in Ch 6 (SVSSS SS)/Ch 34, LBH fed SQQ his blood and subsequently used his blood to seemingly "torment" SQQ during the water prison arc, all of this got me thinking....
What if everything LBH did with his demonic blood this entire time was to save SQQ from Without a Cure?
Like yes, he probably did have other intentions such as tracking him, making SQQ horrified at the fact that he has demon blood inside him when he hated demons so much but I honestly think the main reason LBH forced SQQ to drink his blood, and I would even go further as to say that his main motivation when he trained under Meng Mo, was not to become the âstrongestâ in the general sense but to heal SQQ. Hear me out. The first thought white lotus LBH has when SQQ got poisoned in Ch2/13 was
the demons had harmed his teacher to the point that he might be crippledâhe might even lose his life. And all because of him.
LBH probably was a direct witness to how a whole team of Cang Qiong mountain peak lords needed to revolve around SQQ, with Mu Qingfang constantly providing prescriptions and LQG clearing his meridians and probably YQY hovering around SQQ dying with worries, to maintain his health post the SHL -demon evasion, he must have felt absolutely terrible about it! And that guilt literally haunted our bing-pup like he never once stopped thinking about it; no wonder he offered himself to take care of everything including the nutrition of SQQ's food, snaccs, water, small-big errands, and even wanted to pick that "Snow something Lotus" flower for Shizun! Without a Cure affecting SQQ was on LBH's mind ever since he was 15 and for all 3 years he was in the Endless Abyss.
This is absolutely evident when black lotus LBH returned and started to chase SQQ, SQQ's inner monologue was cursing how Without a Cure is stagnating his ability to coordinate and run, I am certain that LBH was not blind to just how much SQQ was struggling with that poison in his body. My theory was further confirmed when LBH finally caught up to SQQ:
âWhile Shen Qingqiu was still in the midst of confusion, Luo Binghe flipped his hand over. âYou were infected?â .....âThis hand of Shizunâs is plagued with misfortunes.â
Bruh, LBH may be giving the sadistic energy of an abandoned demonic child (thanks SQQ unreliable narrator) but here is clear evidence that the thing he was most worried about is SQQ's blood coagulating and him dying of demonic poison. What this tells me is that Without a Cure seemed to be activated and/or further exacerbated by other demonic poisons. LBH was also clearly still carrying the guilt of SQQ saving him with that hand! Following on immediately, what he did was 1) punch SQQ, then 2) says "An eye for an eye. Since Shizun sowed the seeds, he should reap the bitter fruit himself. Shizun should personally make up for himself" and 3) straight up fed SQQ his demonic blood.
White Lotus LBH never died. Both actions are for the benefit of SQQ, 1) I think he did this to get SQQ to cough up coagulated blood after SQQ was poisoned by that Jin Lan City sower and 3) LBH's quick return from Endless Abyss was so that he can feed Shizun his heavenly-blood to help cure him. I have reason to believe that LBH's demonic blood is the CURE to WITHOUT A CURE. Why else pay such specific attention to SQQ's hand out of literally any other body-part after a 3 year reunion?
But what I find most fascinating is 2) LBHâs words are nearly always laced with double meaning. âAn eye for an eyeâ here isnât necessarily just him blaming SQQ for kicking him and unlocking his demonic heritage but he wants to repay SQQ for taking on Without a Cure back then by giving him his demonic blood as a cure now. Another interpretation is that LBH deflected feeling the guilt of indirectly harming SQQ by verbally jabbing him. He tried to make SQQ feel guilty about tossing him into the Endless Abyss when he himself couldn't bare to think that his Shizun got hurt again on the same hand that saved him all those years ago. SQQ of course is an unreliable narrator and tricks us into thinking that LBH's actions matched his words when if we look closer, they're LITERALLY THE EXACT OPPOSITE.
Right after the reunion, SQQ "didnât know how he made it back to the Jin Zi Weapons Shop," which has me believing that LBH must have been doing something to surpress SQQ's Without a Cure's effects with his demonic blood.
During the Water Prison arc, LBH seems like he is tormenting SQQ by demonic blood manipulation but if we really read carefully:
âŠstrange sensation of something crawling inside his blood vessels....Luo Binghe said leisurely, âSpleen, kidneys, heart, lungs.â Though it wasnât to the point of extraordinary anguish, it was still awful to suffer through.
Doesn't this sound like LBH trying to get the blood in SQQ flowing again to prevent coagulation after SQQ had been in presumably a seated position for a long time jailed in the Water prison? Once again, LBH's intentions behind his actions are the opposite of his words, he may be emotionally hurt by SQQ's silent response to him asking whether Shizun regrets kicking him down the Endless Abyss but his first and foremost concern is SQQ's health. This totally explains LBH's extremely low anger points! SQQ seemingly mistook LBHâs worry as anger! If SQQ asked the System for LBH's worrywart points, it would have been like ~the limit does not exist~. đ€Żđ€Żđ€Ż
Bruh, itâs so telling when Gongyi Xiao went to untie SQQ's immortal binding cables two days later when SQQ noted:
His spiritual energy was unmistakably back in operation and flowing smoothly. When heâd been imprisoned, he had been in the middle of a random Without a Cure flare-up, but after two days of being tied up by the immortal-binding cables, the poison had unexpectedly been suppressed again. Was this following the same principle as fighting fire with fire, or how two negatives make a positive?
No SQQ you oblivious gay, LBH was circulating your coagulating blood for you and suppressing the effects of your poison! We as readers can get so misled by SQQ constantly worrying about how Without a Cure randomly stops his spiritual powers that we forget about the actual main issue, blood stagnation and coagulation, which can absolutely kill him. Also, when SQQ escaped the Water Prison, LBH didn't try to manipulate the blood in SQQ's body because now he didn't need to, heâs done it already. He never wanted to do more than what was necessary for Shizunâs health. LBH tried to convince SQQ to come back when he could have used his powers. SQQ always had agency because LBH loves and respects him too much.
The next time SQQ got poisoned was by that sower who hid amongst the Huang Hua Palace disciples in Hua Yue city right before his self-detonation. He couldn't attack the sower with fire but then complained that it must have been Without a Cure that flared up again. Somehow, silly SQQ kept randomly getting himself poisoned so doesnât it make sense that LBH keeps track of his Shizun so that his own demonic blood could notify him of any potential future SQQ demonic poisonings?
Bruh, the worrywart White-Lotus LBH never fucking died, SQQ ah SQQ you silly silly man. LBH has always been, even if he says hateful words, worried about you and your health and made it his top priority. What made LBH lose his mind though were
everytime LBH tries to save SQQ, SQQ thinks that he is using his demonic blood/demonic poison to do all these unfathomable things when using demonic poison is literally the last thing LBH would do because he has literal guilt trauma around it.
SQQ keeps calling LQG, GYX and literally anyone else to save him when LBH has been the one doing all the work.
Then we arrive at Xing Moâs recoil exacerbating LBHâs insecurities.
âShizun, look at what Iâve become. Am I strong enough? Do you know how I spent those years within the Endless Abyss? For three years underground, at all times and all moments, my mind thought only of Shizun. I wondered why Shizun would do this to me, why he refused to give me even a single chance to explain or plead my case.â
He did so much for Shizunâs health but never got a chance to explain why! And then when SQQ self-detonated, LBH thought:
Didnât Shizun hate his blood more than anything? Wasnât he unwilling to even be near him, to associate with him at all? So why, at the last moment, had he so gently helped to contain Luo Bingheâs mind, as tender as he had been in those years long past?
The blood here doesn't just have racist but literal connotations, LBH literally thought that SQQ hated the very demonic blood coursing through his veins, so that's why he kept forcing SQQ to drink it. LBH's every action, with me now looking back at all this evidence, is SO fricking justified. From his POV, isn't it more like SQQ is the constantly sick child throwing a tantrum about not wanting to drink bitter medicine? LBH, After all this effort of forcing himself to go through literal hell, training himself, chasing SQQ, imprisoning SQQ (LBH is giving Lan Wangji energy here) so that his Shizun can stop accidentally poisoning himself, SQQ somehow got put in harms way again but on top of that, died because of him. SQQ died whilst also restoring and reaffirming himself as the Shizun who had once been so good to him. đđđ
All this absolute adds so much more weight as to why LBH was never ever going to let SQQ out of his sight ever again, as a corpse or alive, from that moment onwards.

âWarm Nightsâ
Chapter 1 - 1.8k words
Damian Priest x Black!CurvyFem Reader
Pg-13 for this chapter but much more intense spice to come!
By request for @xbutterflius-effectusx đ„°
Drop a comment if youâd like me to tag you in the updates plus I will make the whole thing into a single post when done
Authors note: I am happy to do requests for all kinds of works for a variety of characters. However, I am an Indigenous woman and thatâs the perspective I usually write from so I may make some mistakes when writing other folks. If there is ever something in my writing that is incorrect, insensitive or wrong in any way, I apologize and please correct me. Please let me know and I will learn and do better. Thank you and hope you enjoy!
Now on with the story!
Chapter 1:
**Your POV**
Sweat ran down your back as you ran the ropes in the seemingly empty performance center yet again. Your success in NXT was the result of hard work and dedication paying off big time and you werenât about to change that approach now. No one could tell but you still felt the sting of insecurity over being a little older than many of your cohorts and it drove you to work even harder and make your time count.
âCreep!â A loud thunk and pained yelp followed by a string of curses in Spanish made you pause and turn towards the commotion on the upper level.
Damian Priest appeared, hands held up begging an unseen assailant for mercy as they chased him down the steps. Rhea Ripley came under the lights next, wielding a thick practice mat sheâd been using to beat him. Only once everyone was under the bright beams of the lower level did she stop swinging. Turning to you she smirked. âCaught him lurking.â
âWasnât lurking perra loca!â He made a swipe for the mat she wielded but Rhea moved it out of his grasp.
You leaned against the top rope smothering a grin under your hand. The tall man had clearly had his feathers ruffled and it was fun to see the normally collected Damian flustered.
It had nothing to do with the crush youâd harbored for a while now. At least thatâs what you told yourself.
âThen what were you doing?â Hand on her hip Rhea shot you a smirk. You two had fallen into a quick friendship over long hours at the performance center.
âPaul asked me to stop in and talk with the talent, same as he had Cody do last week. I just noticed Y/N practicing andâŠugh, I wasnât lurking.â
âWant some hair tips?â Damian whipped his face towards you with narrowed eyes. Your multicolored locs were the envy of the locker room after all, even if youâd always been modest about your looks.
âYeah, thatâs it. Now if youâll excuse me.â Straightening his back and smoothing his tshirt one last time with a glare at Rhea he gave you a smile and wave on his way out the door.
It was nothing but it made your heart flutter all the same.
Rhea jumped up on the apron and leaned back, assessing you. âBeen at it a while?â
Nodding you stretched before shaking the rope and making you both laugh when she nearly toppled backwards. After youâd been brought into NXT your workout hours tended to be the same as hers. Rhea had approached you one day asking for a spot while she did squats and your friendship has taken off from there. You drove each other to do your best in the gym and that had bled into the rest of your lives, making for a strong bond.
âYeah. I wasnât happy with my match last night, I want to work on that middle rope suplex.â
Rhea rolled her eyes.
âNot happy!? Youâre making the rest of us look lazy love.â Her accent tended to make even compliments come across harsh from time to time.
You laughed and swatted her arm. âYou? Never. Thanks for having my back by the way, even if it was a false alarm.â
âFalse? You didnât see how he was watching you.â Casting you some serious side eye she smirked and hopped down from the mat.
âHey! Whatâs that mean!?â You wouldnât let it get you too excited but dammit if she didnât know what she was doing.
She backed away through the door while calling out in a sing song voice. âGuess youâll have to get cleaned up and come to dinner to find out! Leaving in 20, hurry up!â
You stared at the swinging doors that led to the locker rooms for a long moment, slightly confused and very curious. It was tempting to stay and keep working but you were also hungry after hours of hard work and wanted to know what she meant.
**Damian POV**
I kicked Rhea under the table of the little diner and hissed at her under my breath when Y/N walked into the restaurant. I knew immediately sheâd been the one to invite her. She snickered and waved Y/N down, much to my dismay. Swallowing my stress over the situation I greeted her and everyone resettled, Finn and J.D. peppering her with questions about her day and what was going on the NXT locker room.
Never before had I been so grateful for the two nosy men. It had been a near miss when Rhea caught me staring earlier. Not that I didnât like Y/N.
No, the opposite problem actually. I liked watching the way her body moved around the ring, the way your outfits hugged her very curvy form, and the way her face lit up whenever she stepped through the ropes. More than anything I respected her passion and dedication, knowing what it was like to hit it big a little older than many. It made her absolutely magnetic.
Now Rhea kicked me and grinned before indicating with her head. Alarmed, I realized Iâd been staring as my thoughts wandered. Shit.
âWhat?â The table chuckled.
âFor a third time.â Her voice was saucy as she smirked at me and south of my belt tightened in awareness. âDo you want meat in the queso or not?â
Goddamit. âUh, yeah sure. Whatever you guys want.â
She tilted her head slightly and smiled. âMkay then.â
Dinner progressed uneventfully as we all fell into conversations, mainly buzzing with excitement about the upcoming draft and wondering who would be sent where. In equal parts I hoped Y/N would be wherever I ended up and the other hoped she would be sent elsewhere.
It was a hard spot to be in.
Y/N was tempting for all the rights reasons and I wasnât going down that road. Iâd been burned before making it to the WWE, back before I had everything I do now to offer. An angry part of me figured if I wasnât good enough for *her* then I wasnât going to waste my time now.
Problem was, talking to her more and more, the more I wanted to get to know her like that. Thought she was what I might need to see things differently again. She had me thinking about long nights on the beach, how the moonlight would look shining in her eyes, against her vibrant hairâŠhow it would shine on her dark skin slicked with sweat while she whimpered and sighed my name.
âSo Damian, whenâs your flight leave in the morning?â J.D.âs voice finally pulled me out of the daydream.
âUgh, 9 or so.â
Conversation turned to where we were going after dinner and Rhea would hear none of Y/N staying home.
An hour later and the music throbbed around us as the lights flashed over the dance floor. I liked nightclubs like this, not huge but not tiny and a little on the gritty side. It reminded me of my days bouncing and how far Iâd come and at the same time I enjoyed the throngs of humanity that melded together, no one concerned with how things would look in the daylight but content to be enthralled by the low light and smoke.
I should have known it would lower my ability to stay away. Seeing her there, leaning against the bar in a simple but perfectly tight dress and heels pulled me in. Her strength was obvious but so were her femininity and grace. My heart pounded as I reached out a hand, Y/Nâs eyes widening a little in surprise.
In an adorably unusual show of shyness she ducked her head. âI-are you sure?â
Taken aback I stepped in closer to make sure she could hear me, also to enjoy her scent that reminded me of big flowers and warm breezes.
âSi.â I took her hand and pulled her with me to the dance floor, not caring as she protested. A slow song came over the speakers and I spun her before pulling her close, her back to my front. At first she tensed slightly but then relaxed against me. âEres divina niña.â (Youâre divine girl)
She giggled. âWhatâs that mean?â
Shaking my head I wrapped my arms around her as we began to sway gently to the music. âNo hablas español?â
Shrugging she swayed with me and I felt myself getting lost in the hypnotic feeling of her body pressed to mine. Was she feeling the same?
âNon mais je parle français.â (No, I speak French) The smile she threw over her shoulder made my knees weak.
âFair enough.â I continued to sway, letting myself fall for the mood of the space as she did too, her body relaxing even further as the melody flowed through her. Some women were just gifted naturally when it came to movement and Y/N was certainly among them. âYou work hard, I admire that.â
Continuing to move with the beat her arms came up around my neck and I knew she was losing herself like
I was. âSame goes.â
I wondered how sheâd react if I let my hands wander. It was dangerous territory and with a few more drinks Iâd have thrown caution to the wind. Instead I held her tightly, enjoying the press of her body against mine and the perfect view I had of her ample breasts. I imagined slipping her dress down just enough to taste them.
âAsk you something?â
Her voice was low and sultry. Maybe Iâd let my hands slide just a little lower down her hips, just to see what sheâd do.
âHmm?â
Taking a deep breath Y/N opened her mouth to speak but never got the chance, Finn barreled into us, drunk and laughing with a group he danced with.
Anger burned through me hot, breaking the spell. Anger not so much at Finn but over letting myself be intoxicated by just dancing with Y/N.
I knew she was stung but I forced myself to walk away. Of course she followed.
âDamian, hey, is everything okay?â
Clearing my throat I gestured to the bartender and downed the shot he provided while motioning for another. A blonde at the corner of the bar caught my attention on a quick sweep.
âYeah.â
She waited a beat but realized quickly I was done talking. With dignity I wouldnât have been able to muster for the situation she nodded and walked away.
My heart twisted in my chest.
Approaching the blonde I put in the fakest smile I could manage.
I didnât remember her name or anything else in the morning. I didnât even leave a note as I slipped out to catch my ride to the airport.
