STARS AROUND SCARS : GOJO SATORU, GETO SUGURU

you were just trying to draw some stars on your boyfriend, not knowing simple things could be so hard when you have two needy boyfriends.

w/c : 8k (sorry, can't stop myself :'))

warning : lots, and lots of suggestive conversation, horndog! gojo satoru and fluff.

[☆] MASTERLIST

on a crystal-clear evening with the sky a vivid shade of blue, you and gojo satoru were enjoying a rare and cherished day off. the living room was bathed in the gentle, natural light of the setting sun, casting a warm glow over everything.

you were sprawled comfortably on the soft carpet, wearing a casual outfit that perfectly matched the relaxed vibe of the day: a short denim skirt paired with a white crop top, and ankle socks completing the look. gojo lay in front of you, his one arm lying flat as a pillow beneath his head, equally casual in a pair of short blue jeans and white socks, his posture relaxed and at ease.

while you two were savoring this peaceful downtime, your other boyfriend, geto suguru, was hard at work. he was busy attending an important meeting with the jujutsu higher-ups, his mind likely consumed by the demands of his role. it was a stark contrast to your serene afternoon, but you knew how dedicated he was, and it made these moments with gojo even more special.

colorful pens and crayon marks were spread out in vibrant disarray around you. the bright, vivid hues of the art supplies had left their playful imprints on the carpet, creating a whimsical, chaotic pattern that contrasted beautifully with the serene atmosphere of your cozy living room.

“oh, look at you,” you enthusiasly said as you carefully drew tiny stars around gojo's scars on his arm, adding a burst of color. “you’re like a living piece of the blue sky,” you giggled.

gojo chuckled, his lips curving into a charming smile at your words, “ah, so you think i'm a living piece of the sky, huh? well, i can't say i dislike that comparison,” he joked, his eyes watching your every move as you added the final touches with your colorful pens.

his gaze drifted to the colorful art supplies scattered around you, and his smile turned a tad more mischievous. “you're making quite a mess here,” he teased, gesturing to the mess of color covering the carpet, “i wonder what suguru will think when he sees this.”

you can't help but grin at gojo's comment, continuing to scribble playful little stars around his scars. “oh, come on,” you reply with a lighthearted roll of your eyes, “it's not a mess it's. . . creative expression.” you raise an eyebrow at his mention of geto, imagining the slight eye roll you'll get as he walks through the door and sees your vibrant ‘creative expression’ on the carpet.

“he'll probably just shake his head in faux disapproval,” you say with a soft laugh. “but secretly he'll think it's adorable,” imagining the look on suguru's face when he walked in to see the colorful chaos you'd created. “i'm sure he'll love it,” you replied sarcastically, rolling your eyes playfully. “he always appreciates a good splash of color.”

as you continued your whimsical artwork on gojo's arm, he couldn't help but watch you with a hint of amusement in his eyes. “you've got quite the artistic touch there,” he remarked, observing the swirling stars you'd added to his scars. “i'm starting to feel like a canvas.”

you flash him a cheeky grin, “well, you're the perfect blank canvas, with all these little scars.” your fingers move with careful precision as you artfully create tiny spirals and swirls around his scars with your pens. the way his skin was so pale and flawless made the scars stand out even more, creating a unique canvas for your colorful designs.

“and you're being such a good ’canvas’ too,” you chuckle, gently teasing. “no squirming, no complaints.” your eyes dart between the swirls and stars you've created on his arm, admiring your own work. “besides, it's not like you're complaining. you wouldn't be lying here letting me draw on you if you didn't enjoy it, would you?”

gojo chuckled, “you've got a point there. It does feel kind of nice, having a pretty girl like you drawing on me.” he glances down at his arm, observing the colorful designs you've created. “i just hope suguru doesn't get jealous,” he teases, a smirk playing upon his lips, “he might think I'm enjoying this a little too much.”

“but you do enjoy this a little too much,” you look at him for a second before looking down to where his hand lies under your chest— under your breast more likely. giving it a gentle squeeze from here and there since the start.

gojo chuckled, his smirk widening as you glanced down, well aware of the hand he had placed under you. “can you blame me, really? i have a stunning woman practically straddling my hand, and she's putting on quite the colorful show on my arm.”

his fingers involuntarily flex against your skin, the warmth seeping through your crop top, sending tingles down your spine. “especially when your hands are on me... touching me in all the right places.”

he gave your breast a light squeeze once again, his thumb slowly tracing a pattern on your skin as he met your eyes, a playful twinkle visible in his. “besides, i doubt you're complaining either, considering the location of your perch. but i swear, baby it's just for the art. completely art-related enjoyment,” he gives you a wink before chuckle.

“shut up!” you swat his hand lightly, trying to hide your embarrassment. “why do you have to say it like that? it sounds so inappropriate!” you then shift slightly, guiding his hand from beneath your chest to rest flat against the carpet, a playful scowl on your face. “just keep it where it belongs, okay?”

gojo chuckles, pretending to pout as you smack his hand away from your chest. “hey, i'm just being honest,” he replies with a smirk. “and besides, you were pretty much lying on my hand.” he lets his hand fall to the side, a hint of disappointment in his eyes, “now that you've moved it, i feel strangely empty,” he making a squeeze gesture with his hand, teasing you once more.

“it was nice having a little something to hold,” he adds, the corner of his mouth tugging upwards in a mischievous smirk. you roll your eyes at his pitiful expression, aware of his tactics to get what he wants. “don't give me that look," you chide playfully, “you're not getting that hand back, babe.”

yet, you can't help but feel a flutter in your stomach at the way he talks about wanting to hold something, his voice low and suggestive. “and quit being such a pervert,” you add, trying to mask the way his words affect you.

gojo feigns innocence once again, “me? a pervert? perish the thought,” he teases, the smirk never leaving his lips as he watches the subtle blush on your cheeks.

“i just appreciate beautiful things,” he continues, his eyes briefly roaming over your figure. “and you, my dear, are an absolute masterpiece.” his gaze drifts to your hips, admiring the way your short skirt rides up with each subtle shift. “and it's a damn good view from down here,” he mutters under his breath.

he reaches out towards where his hand was previously, only to snatch it back when you give him a firm look. “come on, don't be mean. i miss the company down there.” he gives you puppy dog eyes, his gaze pleading. “just one hand? for old-time's sake? i'll be good, i promise.”

you can't help but chuckle at his puppy dog eyes, the way they widen ever so slightly to make him look like a pouting child. “don't you start with that look,” you scold, trying to keep your resolve despite his adorable expression.

yet, as much as you enjoy the game of cat and mouse, you can't help but feel a tinge of yearning for his touch too. you bite your lip, considering his plea. “one hand,” you finally relent, “and you better behave yourself, gojo.” a sly smile dances on his lips as he hears your reluctant but consenting response, knowing he’s got you right where he wants you now. gojo slowly slides his hand underneath you once more, this time allowing his fingers to brush against your side, tracing the smooth curve of your waist.

his touch is light, like a whisper against your skin, as if he's testing his boundaries. “you’re so soft,” he whispers, his eyes darkened. “i don’t know how you manage to feel so soft and delicate, but also so strong and feisty at the same time.”

“stop tempting me!” you exclaim with a playful huff. “let me add these little stars to your arm without distractions!” you punctuate your demand with a light bite on his arm, a mischievous glint in your eyes. “i need to focus on my artwork, not on how you’re making this way more interesting than it should be.”

gojo can't help but chuckle at your attempted bite, his arm reflexively twitching under your teeth. “ow, ow, ow,” he exclaims in fake pain, “you're really getting into your role as a fierce artist, huh?”

his hand continues to slowly explore your side, his fingers gently tracing along the hem of your crop top, the tips dipping just slightly beneath the fabric. He watches the way you shiver under his touch with a mixture of amusement and fascination. “is that how you treat your canvas?” he teases. “well, if you weren’t such an irresistible muse, maybe I’d be more gentle,” you retort with a smirk. “but since you’re clearly enjoying this little performance, i might just have to give you an encore. how’s that for art?”

gojo lets out a pleased hum, clearly enjoying your playful banter. “oh, i'm enjoying it alright,” he replies, his hand still drifting lazily along your side, inching its way up to brush against the bare skin of your stomach, “i never knew being a muse could be this much fun.”

his touch becomes a little more insistent, his fingers now outlining the contour of your hip, enjoying the way your breath hitches at his touch. “keep going,” he encourages, “i want to see your entire masterpiece.”

your mind is a whirl of sensations. you try to focus on your work, continuing to draw the tiny little stars around gojo's scars, but his hand is a constant presence on your body, stealing your attention once again.

you try to keep your composure, to maintain the illusion of control, but the way his fingers glide across your waist, and the heat creeping up your spine betrays you. “i can't work like this,” you halfheartedly complain, your voice a little breathier than you had intended.

“come on, babe, let me just finish this,” you pouted, looking up at your boyfriend with a mix of frustration and affection. he responded with a gentle smile and a sigh of resignation. “alright, alright, i’m sorry,” he said, pushing himself up from the floor to give you a quick, tender kiss. afterward, he eased back down onto the floor, his free arm resting comfortably behind his head as he settled in with a relax expression.

gojo watches with a relaxed smile as you continue your work, his gaze shifting between the colorful stars and spirals on his arm and your concentrated expression. occasionally, his hand would sneak beneath your shirt or stroke against your arm, as if to remind you of his presence and the effect he had on you. you could feel the heat from his skin through your thin fabric, making you shiver each time he touched you.

“you're so focused,” he remarks with a hint of teasing, “it's quite adorable.”

just as you reach for another marker, the sound of the front door opening makes you look up. geto suguru has entered the apartment, his tall, lean figure filling the doorway.

“i'm home,” he says, his footsteps entering the living room after a beat. he looks surprised to find you and gojo sprawled on the carpet, surrounded by a chaotic array of colorful pens. his gaze flicks between the artwork covering gojo's arm to your flushed face. a small smile tugs at the corner of his lips.

“well, this is a colorful sight,” he observes, stepping closer to the carpet, his eyes drifting over the markings on gojo's arm. the white-haired boy grins up at him, his hand still resting underneath you, “well, our little artist here decided to use me as her canvas.”

geto's gaze shifts to you, raising an eyebrow in amusement, “quite the masterpiece you've created there, love,” he looks down on you before crouching beside you.

you look up, smiling at your other boyfriend before kissing him on the cheek, “how is your day, baby?” you ask, soft and gentle as you continue to lie on your stomach and draw on gojo's arm. geto smiles warmly, his eyes crinkling slightly at your affectionate greeting. he leans down to return the kiss gently, his hand brushing against your cheek.

“my day was fine, darling,” he replies, his voice smooth and soothing. he glances down at the artwork you're creating on gojo's arm, his gaze flickering over the bright, vibrant stars and spirals. “i see you've been keeping our dear satoru entertained,” he teases, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

gojo chuckles, “oh, I'm very entertained, trust me.” he gives your breast a gentle squeeze for emphasis. “our little artist has quite the touch.” geto chuckles, shaking his head at gojo's antics. he crouches down beside you, his gaze lingering on your focused expression as you continue your artwork.

he reaches out and threads his fingers through your hair, gently tousling it. “and how are you doing, my love?” he asks, his voice low and affectionate. you smile, “my day is good, satoru can't stop squeezing my boobs but it was good.”

gojo lets out a laugh, feigning innocence, “hey, i can't help it. they're soft and pleasant to touch.” geto rolls his eyes affectionately, giving gojo a playful nudge. “control yourself, satoru,” he says sternly, yet there's a hint of amusement in his voice. he shifts his attention back to you, his hand still carding through your hair. “ignore this shameless man here. i'm glad your day was good, despite his. . . antics.”

gojo pouts petulantly, his hand still resting on your hip. “i can't help it, they're just. . . right there,” he defends, a mischievous twinkle in his eye.

geto huffs, shaking his head again at gojo's unabashed behavior. “you're incorrigible,” he mutters, though his voice lacks any real annoyance. he gazes down at you, a tender look in his eyes, “don't let him distract you too much, dear."

geto watches as you continue to draw on ojo's arm, a small smile playing on his lips. after a minute, he turns his attention to you, his hand reaching out to touch your shoulder gently.

“can i have a turn too?” he asks, his voice is soft but hopeful. gojo's eyes widen slightly in surprise, his hand pausing on your hip. “hey, hey. what's with this sudden request?” he asks, mock-jealousy in his tone. but you can tell by the flicker of interest in his eyes that he doesn't mind sharing the spotlight a bit. geto simply rolls his eyes, a hint of amusement at gojo's reaction.

“of course, babe. you can have a turn,” you reply, shifting your attention to geto without paying attention to gojo for a moment. gojo makes a mock cry of protest, but there's a hint of a grin on his face. “hey, no budging in line!”

geto chuckles at gojo's theatrics, shaking his head at his childish behavior. “oh, hush, you had your turn,” he teased. you smile at them both, enjoying the playful dynamic between the two. “don't worry, he won't take too long,” you reassure gojo, glancing over at him with a playful smirk.

gojo pouts, but there's a glimmer of enjoyment in his eyes at the sight of you interacting with both of them. as geto peels off his uniform, revealing his lean, toned body, your eyes widen in appreciation. you can't help but admire his muscular frame, and a smile spreads across your face.

gojo lets out a mock-disgusted groan, clearly annoyed at how easily he's been replaced in your affections. “oh, come on,” he whines, “you're drooling over him already?” geto chuckles at gojo's complaint, taking a moment to flex his muscles, clearly teasing both you and gojo.

you roll your eyes at gojo's pouting, “oh, shush. you just don't want to share the attention, do you?”

meanwhile, geto is thoroughly enjoying the fact that he has your undivided attention, his eyes sparkling with a mix of mischief and affection. “come on baby, lie here and let me put stars on you,” you giggle like a teenage girl who just got her first kiss from her crush. you pat a spot in front of you. geto grins at your giggling excitement, your enthusiastic invitation making him chuckle. he obliges, settling down in front of you, placing his head on gojo's stomach.

gojo, still feigning annoyance, huffs but can't help but also secretly enjoy the sight of the two of you together and the feeling of his boyfriend on his skin. “i feel like a piece of furniture here,” he complains jokingly. you puff a laugh, “come on, baby, don't be like that. i spend hours putting all these little stars on you,” you give him a peck on the lips, “i'll let you put stars on me too if you let me do him first, hm?” you caressing his arm that is now covered in colorful stars lovingly.

gojo's expression softens as you reassure him, his annoyance melting away under your gentle touch. “well, when you put it that way. . .” he mutters, reluctantly agreeing to your suggestion. he looks down at his arm, admiring the colorful stars you've drawn on it. “alright, fine,” he concedes, a hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, “but you're not allowed to complain if the stars i draw are messy.” you shook your head, “i won't baby.” you give him another peck on the lips and arm before smiling at him, your eyes sparkling as you look at him.

“you're such a baby, toru,” geto comments before rolling his eyes.

gojo huffs at geto's comment, playfully sticking his tongue out. “i'm not a baby,” he protests, his pout reemerging. “i just happen to appreciate the work my lovely artist is doing.”

you chuckle at their banter, amused by their sibling-like rivalry. “let him pout, babe,” you say to geto, patting gojo's stomach gently, “it's endearing.”

geto shakes his head, amused by gojo's sulking, “you're such a drama queen, satoru.” gojo sticks out his tongue again, clearly reveling in the banter. “oh, shut up. i'm just adding some entertainment to this little art session.” you try to hold back a laugh, enjoying the bickering between them. “alright, you two, can you behave for a little bit so i can finish?”

“besides,” you continue, grabbing a marker and shifting your attention to geto's bare torso, “he's just jealous he's not the center of attention right now.” you begin tracing a few stars on geto's chest, your fingertips grazing over his skin as you work.

geto lets out a content sigh as you begin drawing on his chest. his muscles flex slightly under your touch, a soft hum escaping his lips. he glances over at gojo, who is watching the two of you intently. “jealous, huh?” he teases, a lazy smirk on his face. “is his giant ego feeling threatened again?”

gojo huffs, but there's a playful gleam in his eye. “hey, i'm not jealous,” he defends, “i'm just. . . observant? and i happen to notice when i'm not the center of attention,” he pout, slightly rolling his eyes, realizing how stupid he sounds.

he pokes geto's side, causing him to jump slightly, still ticklish even in his relaxed state. “don't forget who's the real star here,” he adds, giving you a wink. geto swats away gojo's hand, rolling his eyes at his friend's antics. “yeah, yeah, keep reminding us all how great you are,” he quips back, his tone affectionate yet teasing.

you can't help but chuckle at their banter, finding it endearing how they can go from flirting with you to bickering like siblings in a matter of seconds. you continue working on geto's chest, tracing swirling patterns and stars over his smooth skin. geto's gaze drifts up to you, admiring your focused expression as you draw. he smiles, enjoying the feeling of your touch on his skin.

“you really love doing this, huh?” he comments, his voice is soft and affectionate. his purple irises never leave your face, drinking every second of you drawing little stars around his scars.

you glance up at him with a mischievous smile, “oh, absolutely. it’s not every day i get to add a touch of sparkle to such a handsome canvas. besides, watching you enjoy it so much makes it even more fun.” you lean in closer, your fingers brushing lightly against his skin as you continue your artwork. “i might just make this my new favorite hobby,” you give his skin a little kiss.

gojo, sensing an opportunity to steal some of the spotlight back, pipes up, “hey, what about me? I let you paint all over me too, ‘yknow.” you glance over at gojo, a coy smile playing on your lips. “oh, don't worry, baby. i didn't forget about you for even a moment.”

you reach over and give gojo's arm a reassuring caress, your fingers tracing over the colorful stars. “and you look adorable with all these stars on you.”

gojo grins, pleased that he's regained a bit of your attention. geto rolls his eyes affectionately, commenting, “there he goes again, always needing the attention.” gojo sticks out his tongue at geto in response, before turning his gaze back to you. “hey, it's nice to be appreciated, ‘yknow,” he whines, pouting like a child.

you laugh at his childish behavior, shaking your head in amusement. “oh, you're always appreciated, you big baby,” you say, giving him another affectionate caress.

geto chuckles, commenting again, “he's such a spoiled brat.” gojo, fully embracing his bratty attitude, puffs out his chest in mock pride. “damn right i'm a spoiled brat. the brat who gets all the attention.” geto rolls his eyes again but can't help but laugh at gojo's antics. “and he's proud of it too. such a child.”

you shake your head, continuing your work on geto's chest, enjoying the friendly banter between the two. gojo rolled his eyes before drifting his eyes to your bare thigh as you were still lying on your stomach, making his face eye-level with your thigh. gojo's eyes narrow upon noticing the bare skin of your thigh, exposed as you continue working on drawing on geto's chest. he can't help but admire the sight, his gaze fixated on the soft skin.

gojo's hand slowly creeps its way over, tracing a lazy pattern on the inside of your thigh, just above behind your knee. you stop for a moment to turn your head and see what gojo were doing before looking at geto who's already looking at him at the same time.

“just let him be, at least he's quiet,” you tell the boy before he gets a chance to throw another comment. a soft laugh escaped geto's lips, chuckles at your comment as he watches gojo's hand travel farther up your thigh, his fingers tracing absentmindedly over your skin.

he can tell from the look on gojo's face that he's completely distracted and fixated on your thigh, completely entranced by the sight before him. “oh, he's definitely not quiet,” geto comments, a small smirk on his face, “he's just drooling silently.” gojo's fingers continue to trace gently over your skin, his touch becoming more purposeful as he slowly inched his way upward. his eyes are half-lidded, his attention fully focused on the exposed skin of your thigh.

he doesn't even bother to respond to geto's comment, too lost in the sight of your bare leg, his mind wandering to all the things he wants to do to you. you shook your head, a defeated sigh leave your lips, “he's such a pervert.” geto simply chuckled at your comment, his gaze flickering over to gojo's fixated expression. “that's an understatement," he quipped.

geto nodded, his eyes following gojo's movements with a mix of amusement and resignation. “that he is. always fixated on the most inappropriate things.” he watches as gojo's hand moves higher, now gently caressing the sensitive skin just above your knee. “i swear, he has the tact of a child sometimes.”

gojo, still entranced by your thigh, finally snaps out of his daze upon hearing your comment. “baby, I'm not a pervert,” he protested, almost whining, though his voice lacked any real conviction, “i'm just. . . appreciating the view.” geto couldn't help but roll his eyes at gojo's weak defense. “yeah, sure you are,” he snorted, not buying it for a second.

he watched as gojo continued to caress your thigh, his fingers gently tracing patterns on the soft skin. “appreciating the view, my ass,” he repeated, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

“more like salivating over it like a starving man,” he added, shaking his head in amusement. geto rolls his eyes, “‘appreciating the view’ with his eyes all glazed over and not a single coherent thought running through his brain.“

gojo huffs, but he doesn't protest further, knowing that there's a hint of truth in geto's words. his hand continues to wander up your thigh, his touch feather-light as he slowly inches towards the hem of your skirt. geto chuckled again, shaking his head at gojo's lack of denials.

“exactly,” he agreed, a smirk on his lips, “he's just a man controlled by his primal urges. and right now, his primal urge is to cop a feeling.” gojo pouts a little, but can't argue with geto's assessment. his hand slowly travels higher up your thigh, his touch becoming bolder, his fingers tracing the edge of your skirt, gently inching under the hem. “baby it's ticklish,” you move your leg the gojo's touch slightly.

gojo pauses his movements, hearing your protest. he glances up at you, a look of innocent concern on his face. “ticklish, huh?” he says, his hand still hovering just under the hem of your skirt, his index finger tracing small circles on your thigh.

gojo feigns innocence, “oops, my bad. i was just... exploring.” geto snorts, clearly amused by the interaction. “yeah, ‘exploring.’ that's one way to put it.” gojo rolled his eyes, feeling called out, but he can't deny the truth in geto's words. his finger continues to trace small circles on your thigh, his touch a mixture of feather-light and purposeful.

“i can't help it,” he defends, his voice sounding almost whiny, “you just have such soft skin, and... well, it's right there, begging to be touched." geto laughs again, shaking his head at gojo's feeble excuse. “right, it's all my fault. my skin just magically calls out to your wandering hands,” you mock, the sarcasm in your tone clear.

despite your sarcastic remarks, your expression holds a hint of amusement, clearly enjoying the banter. you glance down at where gojo's hand is gently caressing your thigh, his touch still light and teasing. “you're like a dog with a bone, ‘toru. once you get ahold of something, you just don't know how to let go.” gojo pouts again, feigning offense at geto's dog comment. “hey, i'm not a dog,” he replies, his hand still wandering higher up your thigh, almost reaching the bare skin under your skirt.

“and i can let go... when i want to,” he adds defiantly, “i just happen to really enjoy holding onto this particular... bone.” you rolled your eyes before sighing, continue to draw a stars around geto's torso “i swear I'm gonna die young with all of this headache you two gave me.” geto chuckles at your exasperated comment, enjoying the banter between the three of you. “hey, don't blame us for the inevitable early grave,” he replies with a smirk, “we're just adding a bit of excitement to your life.”

gojo, not wanting to be outdone, chimes in with a wink, “yeah, think of us as your personal stress relievers.”

you snort a little before nodding your head, sarcastically replying, “yeah right, more like adding more stress.” geto chuckles, “aw baby, don't be like that, you know from the start we don't promise you this relationship will be stress-free,” he pushes himself upward to give you kisses before lying back.

you playfully roll your eyes, a small smile tugging at the corners of your lips as you continue to draw the stars on his torso, feeling his muscles flex underneath your touch. “oh, i know,” you reply, shaking your head in mock resignation. “but a girl can still hope, can't she?”

“yeah, sorry to break it to you, princess,” gojo jokingly says, his hand now gently gliding from your thigh to your hip, caressing the skin just above the hem of your skirt.

“but you knew what you were signing up for when you agreed to date us,” he adds, his voice laced with playful confidence. you take a deep breath, “that sucks,” supporting your face with one hand as you lazily draw on geto's skin. geto smirks, enjoying your half-hearted complaint. “yeah, it's pretty rough,” he replies sarcastically, “having two handsome and charming boyfriends who love and adore you. oh, the hardships you face.”

gojo pipes up, his hand continuing to explore your hip bone under your skirt, “oh, shut up. she should feel honored to have us.” you let out a laugh, shaking your head at their banter. despite your faux complaints, you secretly loved their back-and-forth banter, finding their playful bickering amusing.

“oh, trust me, i feel incredibly honored,” you retort with an affectionate eye roll, “having two massive, needy babies fighting for my attention all the time. it's a dream come true. now my mansion’s ballroom is a bit too crowded, and my collection of rare art pieces isn’t fitting in my oversized vault,” you sarcastically joke.

gojo and geto both roll their eyes playfully at your sarcastic comment, but they can't help but smile at your clever quip. geto laughs, shaking his head. “oh, yeah, it's such a burden having two wealthy, successful sorcerer— not to mention, the strongest in your life. your poor bank account is suffering.”

gojo chimes in with a grin, “and your poor heart must be strained from all the love and affection we shower on you.” you feign a sigh, placing the back of your hand on your forehead dramatically. “oh, the struggles i face,” you say dramatically, your voice dripping with fake sadness. “having two handsome, charming men constantly pestering me for attention and showering me with gifts. it's absolutely terrible.”

gojo and geto exchange a knowing glance, both aware that you're laying on the sarcasm heavily. but they also know that deep down, you secretly love the attention they give you.

“oh, poor princess indeed,” geto says, shaking his head in mock sympathy. “it must be exhausting having two devoted boyfriends who worship the ground you walk on,” gojo sympatheticly said, tapping your ass. you let out a sigh, “i can't do anything about it, can i?” geto and hojo both give you playful grins, shaking their heads in unison.

“nope, not a damn thing,” gojo replies with a shrug, his hand still slowly tracing patterns on your hip under your skirt. geto chimes in, “you're stuck with us, princess. no backsies.”

“poor me,” you shook your head in defeat.

you tap geto's abs before changing your position to sitting, “now my turn,” you demand, giving the two boys a marker. pulling your crop top out of your body, leaving you on nothing but your pink bra and lying on your back on the floor. both boys stare at you with an almost predatory gleam in their eyes, clearly enjoying the sight before them. they take the markers from you, their gaze hungry and appreciative.

gojo twirls one of the markers in his hand, a sly smile on his lips, “oh, princess, you spoil us.” geto nods in agreement, his eyes roaming over your body, “you're giving us a blank canvas to work with. this should be fun.” both boys move closer to you, each taking one side of your body. gojo's hand begins tracing lines on your stomach, his touch firm and purposeful, while geto's fingers glide over your sides, drawing swirling patterns with the marker.

they work in tandem, their eyes occasionally locking with each other as they take in the sight of your body, their markers moving in perfect sync across your skin. “you're such a good canvas,” gojo murmurs, his voice low and husky.

“i know my love, now shut up and do your job,” you pinch his cheek softly. gojo and geto both chuckle at your demand, but they comply, focusing their attention back on your body, their fingers and markers gliding across your skin, their movements precise and deliberate.

“yes, ma'am,” gojo replies with mock obedience, his lips curving into a smirk. “we'll shut up and get back to work,” geto adds, his hand moving over your ribs, tracing small stars with his marker. they continue to draw on your bare skin, their eyes fixed on their task, their markers moving quickly as they fill in different areas. they occasionally glance at each other, exchanging secretive grins as they admire their work.

“you know,” gojo murmurs, his marker tracing the line of your hip bone, “we could do this every night if you wanted.” you raised your eyebrows, with a little smirk on your lips your replies, “or we could go to a tattoo shop and make this permanent,” you jokingly tells your boyfriends. gojo and geto both pause for a moment at the mention of tattoos, their eyes flickering towards each other. they exchange a glance, contemplating your suggestion.

gojo grins, the idea is clearly appealing to him. “you know, that's not a bad idea.” he says, returning his attention to drawing on your body. geto nods, a smirk playing on his lips. “yeah, we could mark you as ours permanently. make sure everyone knows who that gorgeous body belongs to.” they continue their work, their markers gliding across your skin, their touches becoming more possessive and claiming with every stroke.

“wouldn't it be hot?” gojo asks, his hand tracing an intricate pattern on your ribs, “you walking around covered in our marks, a permanent reminder that you're ours, body and soul.“ you chuckle, slightly amused by their reaction to your joke, “yeah, that's not gonna happen.” gojo and geto both pout playfully at your rejection of the idea, their eyes filled with mock disappointment.

“aww, come on,” gojo whines, his marker continuing to draw lines on your upper body, “why not? you'd look even hotter with a bunch of our tattoos all over you.” geto nods, a smirk playing on his lips, “yeah, imagine how jealous everyone would be, seeing all those ink marks on your body, knowing they can never touch you the same way we can.”

you snort, shaking your head while your eyes are focusing on the ceiling, “you're delusional, baby, nobody gonna feel that way.” both boys feign offense at your comment, their expressions hurt and indignant. “what do you mean, nobody's going to feel that way?” gojo protests, his marker pausing on your lower abdomen. “you're like, the most gorgeous person alive. of course, people would be jealous.”

geto nods in agreement, his fingers tracing a star on your hip, “yeah, you underestimate your own allure. you're a walking dream, princess.” you breathe a hearty laugh, ruffle your boyfriends' hair, “you guys are so sweet, you're making me feel good about myself, no wonder why i love you two so much.”

they continue their work, their markers and fingers moving in synchronized harmony, filling in the spaces on your body with their artwork. gojo glances up at you, his eyes meeting yours, his expression soft and loving, “you know we adore you, right? every inch of you, inside and out.”

geto nods, his gaze drifting over your body, appreciating every line and contour. “you're our world, princess. we're hopelessly smitten with you.” their words hang in the air, their sincerity and admiration for you clear in their voices. their markers continue to glide over your skin, their touch gentle and reverent.

they finish up their artwork, their markers making a few final strokes before they both sit back and admire their work. they move their gazes over your body, taking in every mark and design they've made. “there,” gojo says, a satisfied smile on his lips, “perfect.”

geto's eyes roaming over your body. “damn, you look even sexier covered in our artwork.” they both take a moment to appreciate their handiwork, their eyes roaming over your body, their expressions filled with pride and satisfaction. the artwork they've drawn on your skin is intricate and beautiful, a masterpiece of their combined effort.

“you really do look amazing,” gojo murmurs, his hand gliding over your hip. “we did a damn good job,” geto says, his gaze lingering on your stomach, “our masterpiece in the flesh."

you look down at the artwork adorning your skin, your eyes widening with genuine admiration. a playful smile spreads across your face as you turn to face them. “well, i must say, you two make quite the artistic team. if this is your idea of a masterpiece, i’d say you’ve outdone yourselves. i might have to start charging for these kinds of commissions!” you give them both a teasing wink, clearly impressed by their work.

you flash them a sly grin and say, “alright, art critics, i need you to snap a photo of your masterpiece. i’m sure you’ll want to show this off as much as i do. so, let’s get that camera ready—this level of artistry deserves to be immortalized, don’t you think?” uou strike a dramatic pose, making sure the artwork is front and center.

they both burst out laughing at your playful words, their eyes gleaming with amusement. they're both clearly pleased by your praise and appreciate your playful banter. gojo grins widely, his hands already moving to fish out his phone. “oh, princess, you have no idea. this isn't just a masterpiece, it's a work of art that should be displayed in a museum."

“damn right,” geto agrees, his eyes still wandering over your body, admiring the artwork he and gojo created. he leans over to grab his own phone, ready to capture the perfect shot of you and their masterpiece. “no need to tell us twice, we’ll document this masterpiece, alright. say cheese.”

gojo and geto both aim their phones at you, framing the artwork on your skin with the camera lenses. they snap a few shots, each from a different angle, making sure to capture every intricate detail of their masterpiece. gojo grins as he reviews the pictures on his phone, his eyes roaming over the image with approval. “damn, we've really outdone ourselves this time,” giving the boy beside him a high-five.

geto nods in agreement, admiring the pictures on his own screen. “that's an understatement. you look even hotter than i could have imagined.” they can't help but laugh as you strike a dramatic pose, clearly enjoying yourself. “that's right baby, just like that, look at you, you look like you're ready for a magazine cover,” gojo chuckles to himself, his finger hovering over the camera button.

“or the cover of a high-end art book,” geto adds, a smirk on his lips. “alright, smile pretty for the camera, princess.” you flash a radiant smile, channeling your inner supermodel as you strike a pose, knowing full well that you look absolutely fabulous.

gojo and geto both snap more pictures, clearly enjoying capturing your beauty and the artwork covering your body. “damn, you're a natural,” gojo says, studying the photos on his phone. “we should frame these and hang them up in our rooms.”

“oh? we're gonna hang it up in our rooms?” you ask, a glint of something flashing in your eyes. “well, we better make it worth it.”

so locking your eyes with them, slowly and sensually you take off your pink bra, holding it between your fingers while your other hand covers your breast. playfully, you throw your bra at them before laughing. gojo and geto's eyes widen in surprise as you seductively remove your bra and playfully throw it at them. they both can't help but grin, their gazes immediately locking onto your bare chest.

“damn, baby, you really know how to make a statement,” gojo murmurs, his eyes drinking in the sight of your exposed skin. geto smirks, catching your bra in his hand and hanging it around his neck, his eyes roaming over your chest. “you definitely make hanging up those pictures worth it.” you are lying on your side with your elbow kneeling on the carpet to support your head while your other hand is still covering your bare chest.

“come on, boys, take a picture of me,” you smile at them. they both raise their phones again, their gazes never leaving your form as you strike yet another provocative pose. their hands hold the camera steadily, their fingers poised over the camera button, their eyes still fixed on your body.

“fuck, you look incredible,” gojo breathes, his eyes roving over you, taking in every inch of flesh on display. geto grins, his tongue darting out to wet his lips, “you’re making us want to drop these phones and pounce on you right now, princess.” they both snap a few more photos, focusing on different parts of your body, capturing every curve and contour in all its naked glory. their expressions are filled with desire and admiration as they take in the images on their screens.

“you're a goddamn goddess,” gojo murmurs, his eyes lingering on a particularly risqué photograph of you before adding, “and remember to stay just like that, princess.”

“agreed,” geto nods, his eyes roaming over the photo of you, clearly appreciating every detail. “this is something to keep in our private collection for sure.” you give them a sultry smile, “well, if you’re this impressed now, just wait until you see what i have in store for our private collection. keep those photos safe—I’m planning to give you both plenty more to admire.” you strike a playful pose, teasingly adjusting your position to give them an even better view. gojo and geto exchange a knowing look, their eyes lighting up with excitement and anticipation. they clearly love your playful attitude and the promise of more to come.

“oh, we'll be keeping these photos very safe,“ geto chuckles, his eyes never leaving your body as he continues to take pictures, “and we'll be eagerly awaiting whatever else you have in store for us.”

gojo smirks, his gaze roaming over your body once again, “you really know how to work a camera, princess.“ you look up to them, giving your boyfriends doe eyes as you remove your hand— now fully flashing them your breast. “don't stop now,” you murmur. the tip of your feet moving slowly to geto's abs, purposely open your legs knowing you are wearing nothing underneath your skirt except your pink underwear.

gojo and geto both freeze, their eyes widening as you slowly stretch your feet to press against geto's stomach, your legs opening to reveal your skimpy panties. they're both momentarily speechless, their gazes fixated on your seductive pose.

“holy hell,” gojo gasps, his hands clenching around the edge of his phone as he struggles to take more pictures. “fuck, princess, you're incredible,” geto breathes, his voice low and thick with desire as he looks down at your legs. they both start snapping more pictures, their hands shaky as they try to capture every moment of your seductive display. gojo's eyes dart down to your open legs, his tongue darting out to moisten his lips as he admires the sight between your thighs.

“can't believe how damn shameless you are,” he groans, his gaze still fixed on your body. geto nods in agreement, his fingers gliding over his phone screen, “you're driving us crazy, princess. you know just how to push our buttons.“ gojo's hand moves quickly, his fingers grasping the edge of your skirt and giving it a firm tug, revealing the skimpy pink fabric of your panties. he quickly raises his phone and snaps a picture, his gaze fixated on the lacy material that's barely covering your most intimate parts.

“fuck, you're a sight to behold,” he mutters, his voice low and gravelly.

geto leans closer, his eyes locked on the photo on the phone screen as he adds, “and I didn't think you could get even hotter, but here we are.” they both can't help but admire the photo, their gazes taking in every detail of your exposed skin and the lacy underwear— already planning on their mind about making it as their home screen. gojo's fingers move over the phone screen again, zooming in to get a closer look at the delicate fabric clinging to your skin.

“you really know how to make things difficult for us, princess,” he mutters, his eyes tracing the contour of your hips and thighs outlined by the thin material. geto chuckles, a smirk on his lips as he adds, “we're not gonna be able to concentrate on anything else tonight after seeing this.”

“now, now, wanna try to make me see stars?” your toe slowly moving to the contour of geto's abs making their eyes light up at your words, their lips curving into wicked grins. they both know exactly what you're implying, and they're both more than willing to make it happen.

gojo's gaze darkens, a sly smile on his lips as he sets his phone down. “oh princess, you don't have to ask us twice,” he replies, stepping closer. geto also sets his phone down, a similar expression on his face as he moves closer to you. “we'll make you see the whole damn universe, sweetheart.”

“why don’t we take this party to the bedroom?” you suggest with a playful glint in your eye. gojo and geto both nod in agreement, their eyes filled with desire and eagerness. “i like the way you think, princess,” gojo murmurs, his hand already reaching out to take yours, his touch firm and possessive. geto brushes a strand of hair from your face, his fingers lingering on your skin. “lead the way, sweetheart,” he says, his voice low and suggestive.

they help you to stand from the floor. you take their hands, holding their finger before pulling them toward your shared bedroom. “come on, boys,” your voice is soft, sensual, like a siren singing for their prey. you turn around, once again flashing them your bare chest— a jeans skirt and a pair of socks are the only fabric on your body.

their gazes roam over your body as you flash them, their eyes hungrily taking in your bare chest, the exposed skin on your thighs and legs, and the soft fabric of your socks. they both make appreciative noises, their grips on your hand tightening slightly as they follow you towards the bedroom. gojo's eyes roam over your body, his voice low and gruff as he says, “you really know how to make an entrance.”

geto smirk, his gaze still fixated on your curves as he adds, “we're gonna have so much fun with you.” you reach the bedroom, and enter the room, the air thick with anticipation. the boys are right behind you, their hands still intertwined with yours, their eyes still trailing over your nearly naked body with hungry gazes.

gojo closes the door behind him, a sly smile on his lips as he locks it. “now that we're alone, princess,” he says, his voice dripping with desire, “we can focus all our attention on you.”

Masterlist | Bucky Barnes

“Hmm,” Steve looked around the supply room, surveying the gaps and empty shelves, normally well stocked with blankets and provisions. It was the third time this week he’d found himself at a loss, not just for words but his things too. Everything seemed to be going missing. 

First it was a few plates and mugs from the galley kitchen by his office, then it’d been the lunch he’d left for him and Bucky in the fridge. Last night he’d gone into Bucky’s room to make sure he was okay and found the man sleeping on a bare mattress, all the sheets, pillows and blankets were gone and the newly revived Bucky refused to explain what had happened to them or even acknowledge that there was anything wrong at all. He hadn’t even addressed that fact that the window was wide open and it looked as if he was sleeping in his shoes. 

Which brought Steve’s thoughts to the man himself. Bucky had been so odd since he’d returned. For a day or two, he’d been something like his old self, despite the awful situation they found themselves in, he’d joked with Steve and reminisced with the few memories he had. They’d enjoyed a beer together and he’d even met with Tony during their mediation and patched things up. 

Then, they’d all climbed onto the jet and he’d become distant, pacing like a caged animal until they’d landed. As soon as the doors were open he’d vanished for forty-eight hours and sent the entire compound into mayhem before strolling back in as if nothing had happened, bruised and covered in blood. Judging by the bandages he sported later that day, his cuts and bruises spread under his shirt and trousers too. 

Steve knew that he’d changed during his time with Hyrda, back in the 30s they’d both been betas, happy to plod along ignoring the madness of the few alpha’s in Brooklyn. It had been a rare thing then, to be an alpha, now they were considered a dying breed, so when Bruce’s tests had revealed that Bucky was an alpha now, they’d tried to take it in their stride that he might go off on his own sometimes, especially since omegas were even rarer. But there was still so much they didn’t know, so much to unpack and discover about the Bucky they’d rescued, and Steve was so desperate to spend time getting to know this new man that all the time apart was making him worry. 

“You okay?” Sam asked from the doorway, leaning in to hand Steve a hot cup of coffee. 

“Just doing a stock check.” 

“He take something else?” Sam stepped into the small room, lined with shelves and shelves of tents, camping stoves, parachutes, it seemed to go on and on. The bare grey shelves where stock was missing was stark against the white washed walls. 

“He?” 

“Barnes,” Sam sipped his coffee, matter of fact, and Steve confronted the worry that had been plaguing him. 

“It’s Bucky, isn’t it?” Steve dropped his head heavily and Sam patted him on the back, still sipping his drink. 

“Sorry man, told you, he’s not right yet. He’s not hurting anyone though, if he hates his bedding, who cares, if he hates your lunches, who could blame him.” 

Sam sidestepped Steve’s halfhearted swipe with a grin on his face. 

“But what’s he doing with it, Sam? Where’s it all going?” 

“Hell, I don’t know, have you asked him?” Sam raised his eyebrows. 

Had Steve asked his best friend, who flinched at his touch and shied away from any conversations? Bucky who vanished for hours at a time and came back looking as if he’d been dragged through a hedge? No, he hadn’t. He’d been too scared to confront what might be going on, what latent part of his programming might be at play. 

“Look, if you’re too scared to ask why don’t I?” 

Now it was Steve’s turn to raise his eyebrow, it wasn’t that Sam and Bucky didn’t get along, they just didn’t get along yet. Steve was working on it. 

“What if we…followed him?” He offered instead and Sam laughed again. 

“Who knew Captain America was scared of his own friends,” he couldn’t contain the chuckles. “Fine, fine. Let’s keep an eye on him.” Sam turned to the ceiling, more comfortable with the AI than Steve was. “FRIDAY, if Sergeant Barnes leaves his room, please can you alert us - privately?” 

“Of course,” the soft voice answered and Steve gave his friend a weak smile. 

FRIDAY’S alert went off twice a day, every day, over the next week. But despite their best efforts neither Steve nor Sam managed to catch up with Bucky. 

It wasn’t until the following Saturday that they managed to follow him. Bucky was supposed to be at a training session to get his official certifications but they’d both had a feeling he’d try and skip it. As predicted they’d spotted the blue of his new henley edging around the side of the compound, a full backpack strapped to his back. 

Bucky ran across the grass and towards the thick forest. His still uncut hair was tied back but tendrils fell out as he sprinted into the wind. 

He was surprisingly loud, as he strode quickly between the trees, snapping twigs and branches that Steve knew he could’ve dodge even before the serum and his training. Sam looked at him, both of their feet silent as they followed. 

Bucky’s speed increased as he turned his face up into the breeze, his backpack jostled against the trees, bouncing when he began to run. 

Steve kept up, sending Sam wide, into the breeze, in case Bucky doubled back. 

Just as he was starting to feel lost in the repetition of trees and ferns, Bucky burst into a clearing and Steve slammed to a halt. 

The pine trees gave way to a small patch of clear sky, shining down on an old shed. Unlike the other abandoned guard houses, this one had obviously been cleaned recently. The small porch was swept and a pair of Avengers camping chairs were arranged neatly facing into the forest. A line had been strung between the cabin and the trees where one of the missing blankets fluttered in the gentle wind. 

Steve crouched down, motioning to Sam on the other side of the clearing to stay out of sight. 

Bucky approached slowly, “Cățeluș, are you here?” 

At first there was nothing and then a wolf nosed its way out from behind the door, it’s chestnut brown fur almost gold in the sunlight. It leaped forwards from the porch and shot across the clearing, leaping into Bucky’s arms. 

Steve whipped his head up to try and find Sam and by the time his eyes found Bucky again the wolf was gone, replaced by a woman pulling on a large t-shirt from Bucky’s backpack. 

“James!” Her sweet voice rang out in the otherwise quiet forest. 

Swamped by Bucky’s familiar red henley, you shot from the door and into Bucky's waiting arms, the back pack dropped to the floor and forgotten. 

She was swamped by Bucky’s red henley and he wrapped you in his arms, one large hand on the back of your head, tucking you into his neck. The other supported your legs, now wrapped around his waist. 

In the clearing Bucky's shoulders relaxed as he sank into your embrace, kissing and nipping at your neck. In return you tipped your head, practically purring at the attention and wriggling in his arms. 

“Have you been okay, baby.” Bucky asked, pulling away enough to look you over. 

“I'm okay, I missed you though, James, please don't leave me again.” You begged cupping his stubbled cheeks in your hands. 

Bucky turned into your palm and kissed it, “I know, I know, I’ve been making sure it’s safe for you.” 

Steve's heart sank. Bucky didn't feel safe? 

“You trust me, don't you, my little omega.” Bucky rubbed his nose into your cheek and you giggled, holding him even tighter, your hands in his hair. 

An omega? 

Sam stared over at Steve, eyes wide. 

It was clear to them both that this was no chance encounter and all Bucky’s odd behaviour suddenly started to make more sense.

Steve motioned for Sam to leave, they could sneak back to the compound and perhaps bring this up tentatively. Perhaps leave some items you might like lying around in the hopes that Bucky would take them and understand that his secret was out, but it was safe. 

Sam moved swiftly round the clearing as Steve continued to watch Bucky. 

Bucky vanished into the cabin, leaving you on the porch alone, snuggled into his shirt and pressing the collar to your nose. 

“She’s cute,” Sam whispered, squeezing up against Steve, still hiding in the overgrown ferns that lined the edge of the cabin. 

“We can’t let her sleep out here. She must be hungry and cold.”

Bucky emerged from the cabin carrying two of the missing mugs, balancing them carefully on the railing before scooping you up into his lap. His hand hovered by his mouth, sipping in slow motion as his eyes scanned the tree line and Steve took a breath, sitting back quickly. 

“Stay here, Cățeluș,” he was up in a flash, eyes always on the tree line even when he reached into his boot to pull out a familiar gerber knife. 

Instead of flipping it into his palm, he balanced it on the arm of your camping chair. Eyes still on the trees he placed his metal hand on top of your head, “stay here and stay safe, follow the plan, do what you need to.” His voice was low, series, almost a growl. Far away from the happy, loving tones he’d been speaking to you with before. 

You nodded, and as soon as he felt your head move he was up and off the porch. 

Steve and Sam looked up in time to see a wolf leap towards them. 

It was true then, the experiments had worked and Steve had the cold feeling that returned every time he discovered something new about his friend during a fight, but he had no time to worry about it now. Not when the wolf was closing in on them. 

It was huge, its white fur dusted with fallen leaves, but its teeth gleamed in the afternoon sun as he pounced, snarling. His paws the size of dinner plates slamming into the ground in front of them, teeth bared and snarling. 

Steve rolled away, pulling Sam with him and covering his body, regretting not bringing the shield. 

“Bucky!” Sam shouted from under Steve’s arm

“Bucky it’s us we don’t want to hurt you!” 

The wolf pulled back from the two men pinned beneath him, and something like clarity passed over Bucky’s icey blue eyes and he sat on his haunches, head cocked to one side, ears floppy. Then it stood, rounding the bushes and, in a blink, the man had reappeared still hiding before the foliage to cover his naked body. 

“Steve -” Bucky looked thoroughly confused, 

“Bucky, we’re so sorry we shouldn’t have followed you.” 

“What are you doing here?” Bucky’s voice wavered, his body cold without his fur and with his clothes left behind in the cabin. 

“We were worried about you, man, you’ve been so weird - stealing stuff, going missin’, can you blame us for getting creeped out?” Sam raised his eyebrows and Bucky’s brow furrowed. 

“Sorry, I’m sorry, I just had to -” he gestured back towards the cabin and, as if remembering he’d left you behind with no way of knowing he was safe he turned and ran back to the clearing. 

Steve and Sam jumped up, chasing after Bucky once more. 

The cabin porch was empty when Steve picked his way down the slope of mud and rocks into the clearing. 

A howl rang out as he got closer to the little house, a high, pained sound and then the response came, low and level. 

There were two wolves now, hidden at the side of the cabin in the shadows.

The white wolf kept itself half turned towards Steve and Sam, who kept quiet and still, barely daring to breathe, allowing its companion to approach slowly. 

The brown wolf dropped in front of the white, ears flat back against its head, and then rolled over, showing a soft belly that the white wolf nuzzled gently before turning back to Steve and barking sharply. 

Steve held his hands up and the wolf barked again, turning tail and returning to the cabin. 

It took only moments for Bucky to show himself on the porch, pulling his henley back down over his now dirt streaked belly. 

“Come in,” he gestured up the stairs and vanished again. 

The cabin, though run down, was well kept. The porch was swept of leaves and there was even a little mat by the door. 

“Shoes,” you whispered, pulling on Bucky’s sleeve as you entered the main living space, making an attempt to hide behind him. You’d dressed again too, also in one of Bucky’s henleys and a pair of leggings that Steve recognised as Avengers recruit issue. 

“Do you mind?” Bucky asked while Steve and Sam stared between you both. 

“Shoes,” you turned to look up at Bucky again, eyes pleading in one moment and then flicking to the two new men treading mud into your home. 

“Your shoes, take them off.” Bucky helped them arrange their boots neatly by the door while you pottered around the fireplace. “This is her nest,” he whispered, making sure the doormat was straight and the little curtain was neat over the window. “It’s important to omegas, to her,” you turned shooting a glare over your shoulder, “to us-that it’s kept just right and she hates shoes inside.”

In the small living space a camping stove had been set up with a kettle, a portable fridge, and an assortment of mugs, both Avengers field regulation and novelty, which were set neatly on the mantel. You chose four, and placed them next to the kettle while it steamed happily away. 

Bucky spoke softly to you in a mixture of English and Romanian, but you didn’t come any closer to the strange men. You’d seen them before, on the television and in Bucky’s notebooks, but now that they were here, so large and imposing, you couldn’t bring yourself to even look over. 

“This is Cățeluș, well, that’s not her real name but we couldn’t find that. She - uh -” you watched Bucky struggle for words and lay a hand on his cheek, smiling warmly up at him. Your Winter, your James. “-I don’t want to say the word, it upsets her, but she was with me when I was - him - part of the experiments.” 

You poured the tea quietly, watching the steam rise into the darts of sun making their way through the broken knots of wood in the wall, and you took a deep breath. With shaking hands you gave the first man, Sam, a cup. He had a gentle face, a wide smile and he didn’t look at you with pity, as you feared, only interest. 

The second man held his breath as you approached, keeping his hands as close to his body as possible until you pushed the cup towards him. Steve. Bucky had lots of pictures of Steve in his notebooks and had told you more stories than you could remember, but he didn’t look sickly, he looked too big for the space, his shoulders drawn in, slouched. You appreciated that he was trying not to look scary, even though your every nerve was on edge.  

Bucky took the proffered mug from your hands with a kiss to your forehead and you sighed, allowing him to steer you to the only arm chair in the room and then passing you your own tea. 

“We got out, eventually and - I brought her here.” Bucky sat on the rolled arm of the chair, draping his own arm over your shoulders and fitting you into his side. 

Steve and Sam could only stare. 

“Why didn’t you bring her to the compound? She can stay -” Steve turned to you, “you can stay, either in Bucky’s room or you can have your own room if you’d prefer.” 

It took you a moment to process the offer, but eventually you shook your head, turning into Bucky’s side. 

“It was awful - in there, with them she, we both -” Bucky struggled for the words, the desire to protect you rising inside 

“It’s okay,” Sam said carefully, “I know the transition’s been rough on you, Bucky, I can’t imagine what it’s been like for her, how you even got her out here. But there’s nothing to be afraid of, maybe she’ll come with you? If you suggest it?” 

Sam kept looking at you, his eyes soft and encouraging but you turned away, pressed your face into Bucky’s ribs where his scent had soaked through his shirt, reassuring and primal, chanting in your head Alpha, safe, Alpha, safe. You did miss him, when he was gone, but how could he keep you safe in that place. 

You’d seen it, once or twice, through the trees when you took a walk, looking for whatever you could find in the forest. Guards left lots of things behind, bottles and coats and jackets, useful things. You collected them all, skirting around the edge of that horrid white building and hoping to never see the terrifying things that flew out of it, men in suits and robots, it was too much. 

“You can bring whatever you like with you, and maybe Nat and Wanda could help you with some new things, if you liked?” Steve followed Sam’s lead, keeping his voice steady and low. 

“James - my nest.” You mumbled, gripping his henley in your fist. 

He dropped a hand onto your head, “we can do whatever you like, baby. You want to stay here, we can stay, you want to go to the compound, we’ll go.” 

You felt Bucky’s heart rate pick up, its beat hammering and your anxiety grew too, your breathing more ragged, you turned even further into him, practically climbing into his lap, the henley you’d taken from him riding up. 

Instantly you knew it was a mistake, the scars of your time in Hydra were still visible, raised on your skin, yellowing patches of healing bruises and calloused skin from repeated bouts in the chair. 

Sam and Steve could barely conceal their inhale of breath. 

“Bucky, did you get her checked by a doctor or…” Sam trailed off, Bucky looked angry again, his arms fully surrounding you. 

“And what would I have said, Sam?” He growled, “I know she looks like she’s been kept in a cage and beaten but please don’t arrest me, I promise it wasn’t me? Her social security number? Sorry, I don’t have it, we don’t even know her name. I did the best I could.” His anger tipped over into a resigned sadness. Bucky cupped your face in one hand and forced you to look up at him, “I did the best I could, baby, I really did.” 

You nodded and his grip loosened so you could nuzzle into his chest again, your own tears running down your cheeks at the memory of those early days. Bucky’s shaking hands patching up your burns and cuts, the whisky you’d slugged before he pulled out a stray bullet from your arm and stitched it with floss. Every touch had been gentle though, every time he’d changed your bandages or cleaned you up, it had been gentle. It had been everything he could give you. 

“We didn’t mean it like that, Buck,but we could help, get her checked over and then you can come back here.” Sam’s voice was plaintive, deliberately soothing and it made Bucky’s blood boil. 

“I’m not taking her to that place.” He bit back, there was no mistaking the way he curled you into his body, tucking your head under his chin and wrapping his arms around your back. 

It didn’t hurt anymore, to be touched, but then it’d never hurt to be touched by James. His hands had always been careful with you, his strength used only for protection and it was for that reason that you lay your trust in him completely. 

“Don’t make me go, Alpha.” You whispered, your lips brushing the base of his neck where you’d marked him, right over his scent gland, your teeth marks an eternal brand. You nuzzled into him, your chest rumbling again. 

“I won’t make you go,” he looked back at Steve and Sam, the finality of his decision sat heavily in the air. 

“Can we at least bring some medical things here? Would you let Sam check you out?” Steve offered, he was increasingly concerned by the way Bucky had retreated into the chair, his own legs now curled up on the overstuffed cushion.

Above you, James nodded once, “just you and Sam, don’t tell anyone else. I’ll know if you tell anyone else.” The panic edging Bucky’s voice had Steve raising his hands in surrender. 

“I promise, Buck, just Sam and I.”

Sam and Steve left the cabin at dusk while you and Bucky watched from the deck. As soon as they were beyond the trees he pulled you even tighter against his chest, his heat warm. 

“Everything is going to be okay, baby, I promise, no one’s going to ever, ever, hurt you again.” His hands slid down your arms and across the slow swell of your belly. “But we should consider their offer, make sure we’re making a choice that’s good for you and me, as well as them.” His palm pushed up under your shirt, splayed on your tight skin and, deep inside, your pup pushed back.

hi slushieeeee!! random question, but is there a specific reason you use the light blue for your blank backgrounds instead of white or gray? it doesn't look bad or anything, i was just wondering if blue made it, like, easier to draw? sorry, bit of a silly question, lol.

Mmm no reason really. It’s more for the viewer. Drawing on white doesn’t bother me, cause I have a blue light filter in my glasses, but I’ve definitely gotten people in my inbox worried for my eyesight 😂

I know some people have more sensitivity to that kind of thing. I used to try and draw with like, a warmer background, but it was so bleh lol, that I changed to cool. I usually try to switch it up between various cool neutrals, every now and then, if I’m not putting color everywhere. I know a lot of my stuff being black and white can be intense on the eyes.

I’ve also read some people feel intimidated by a completely white canvas? Idk I’m sure there’s many reasons ppl don’t like starting with stark white.

It matters to me

Warnings: I couldn't tell what my depression was telling me so I wrote it out, sorry my feelings suck

The first thing I noticed about him was his voice. It was like listening to a lonely violin playing a sad tune in an empty theater. It was the kind of voice that could make your heart ache, even when he was just ordering a cup of coffee. His eyes were the color of the sea on a stormy day, constantly shifting between hope and despair.

And then there was his face. Oh, his beautiful, sad face. It was like a canvas painted with all the colors of sorrow: the deep crimson of heartbreak, the faded blue of loss, and the stark white of loneliness.

His features were chiseled, his jaw strong, his lips full and sensual. But there was something about the way he held himself, the way he moved, that told me he had seen more pain than any one person should ever have to bear.

So I grabbed his chin and made his face turn towards me, I could see the tears in his eyes, the ones that had been there for so long they had become a permanent part of him. I wiped them away gently, feeling the warmth of his skin, the roughness of his stubble against my fingers. And in that moment, I knew I couldn't just stand by and watch him suffer anymore.

I rubbed my thumb over his cheekbone, feeling the slight ridge of a scar I hadn't noticed before. "What happened?" I asked him softly, my voice barely more than a whisper.

He looked away, his gaze flickering somewhere beyond me. "It doesn't matter," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "It was a long time ago."

But it did matter to me, and I wouldn't let it go that easily. I reached up, cupping his face in my hands, forcing him to meet my gaze. "It matters to me," I told him, my voice steady and sure. "Tell me what happened."

He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing in his throat, and then his eyes weirdly meet mine.

"Tell me every terrible thing you've done, Percy, and let me love you anyway"

a/n: I kind of took this idea and ran so I hope it is along the lines of what you were hoping for, and sorry this request took so long!

warnings: graphic violence, very graphic please read this

They had wanted to send you home as a message.

"Don't fuck wit' Colm O'Driscoll." One of them had said, kicking you in the ribs when you were already down. You could barely breathe as they took turns, kicking and hitting you until purple and black bruises blossomed along your ribcage, and blood spattered up from your mouth, landing on the dirt below. Your nails dug into the ground, accumulating dirt as you attempted to grip onto anything to find some leverage. 

"Go easy on her, she's a woman, and don't kill her." Another man said, holding the others back. They hadn't touched you. Thank God, they hadn't touched you. But they beat you, and as you weakly tried to fight back they humiliated you, made you feel weak and small and stupid for traveling through The Heartlands alone at night. You should have stopped and sent up camp, but you were tired and you missed home. You recall traveling through Twin Stack Pass when they'd spotted you:

"It's gotta be a Van der Linde! Grab him!" One had screamed from horseback, and they had chased you, lassoed you from your stallion to the ground. You'll never forget the look on their faces, the satisfied smiles and the chuckles when they realized who they'd captured, "Dutch's piece" they'd called you. 

They'd left you on the side of the road with none of your belongings except your horse, ensuring that you had a way to get back to camp and deliver their message. They wanted to get back at Dutch, to stab at him for stealing the train job. And what better way to get back at him than through the person he loves most?

It was a grueling ride home.

— — — —

You're almost afraid to part the white canvas into yours and Dutch's tent. Afraid because you know what his reaction will be. You should be thinking about the gang, about lying low and not causing scenes, but you don't care, because you're hurting and you need him. 

"D-Dutch?" You all but whisper, parting the canvas enough to slip through, limping and holding your bruised ribs. As soon as you're inside the tent, the little strength you have left shatters and you crumble, landing on your knees. The adrenaline wears off and you just can't find the strength to hold yourself up any longer. Everything hurts, especially as your knees buckle against the wooden floor. Your arms wrap around your twitching, aching torso where fists and rings have marked you, where steel toed boots have left their imprints on your skin. You can't help but cry because you're home, you're safe, they can't hurt you anymore. 

Dutch is awake in an instant. He hadn't been expecting you until the morning, and as soon as he hears you he knows something is wrong. And then, god- he sees you. A heap, a puddle on the floor of pain and sadness and hurt, and he wants to mend you together immediately, even not knowing what's wrong. As soon as the fog of sleep is cleared from his mind, he's scrambling to the floor in front of you.

"My dear girl, what happened?" He asks, eyes wide, scanning over your bruised form. His hands hover over your arms, afraid to touch you for fear that he will break you even further. He can't see your face, as it is hidden in your hands, but he wishes to look into your eyes, and find answers. Dutch's index finger rests under your chin as he pulls your gaze up to his own. 

Your sniffles quiet once he sees your face, and his warm eyes and worried features fall away once he sees the bruises there. They're replaced by a stark coldness, a rage. It's not directed at you of course, but whatever scum has hurt you. You see the way his jaw sets, locking as he grinds his teeth.

Dutch brushes some hair from your face, seeing the purple marks on your cheek there. His eyes slip shut in an attempt to keep control of himself as a low rumble resonates from his chest, and when his eyes open again, they are cold, threatening.

"Who did this to you?" He asks, fingers brushing over your arms, wondering if you adorn the same bruises under your shirt. 

"O'Driscolls… They told me to tell you that- that this is a message, not to mess with Colm." You whimper, lip trembling as you lean against Dutch, clinging to the lapels of his shirt.

"I'll kill every last one of those repulsive maggots." Dutch growls, formulating a plan, but then you hiccup a cry, and his eyes flicker down to you, sniffling and hiccuping against his chest and his eyes soften. The O'Driscolls can wait. 

Placing one hand on the back of your head, and the other on your back, he pulls you closer to him, realizing he needs to take care of you first. 

"Let me tend to you first, my love." He whispers, arms wrapping around your waist as he helps you to your feet. You wince, gasping lightly from his hands on your twitching ribs. 

"How bad do you hurt?" Dutch asks, heart breaking when you wince as he helps you to your feet. You don't respond, figuring it will just be easier to show him.

Feeling numb inside, your fingers come to the buttons of your muddied blue blouse, and as soon as Dutch sees your intentions, he brushes your fingers away. His eyes are dark, pained, as he begins to undo the buttons. As more flesh is revealed to him, more discoloration is evident. He breathes heavily through his nose, saying nothing as the last button unclasps and he pulls the shirt down over your arms, leaving your torso bared to him.

Goosebumps arise on your skin as his fingers ghost over your bare torso, and he swallows thickly, taking in your body. He has seen you bared like this so many times before, but never has it felt this damning, this aggravating.

He can't believe that they've hurt you like this. They've hurt you. He won't let them get away with it, he will not let them live after this. Dutch will tear the O'Driscolls limb from limb if that's what it takes. He wants to ensure that they never spoil the air again with their wasted breaths. They don't deserve to live in a world in which you exist. He will ensure that they don't. 

Dutch runs his fingers over your aching ribs, and down the valley of your breasts as he inspects the purple, swollen skin there. His eyebrows are drawn together slightly from focus, and you see the moment that the question enters his mind. It pains your heart to see the fear in his eyes as they flicker up to you.

"Did anyone touch you…?" He asks, voice quieter than his usual booming tone. Immediately you shake your head no, face crumbling as you realize how much worse it could have been. 

Then he's wrapping his arms around your shoulders, pulling your head to his chest with a heavy, pained exhale. 

"It's okay, shh, my dear, I have you now." He coos, shushing your cries as he leads you to the bed. You cling to him until the backs of your knees hit the bed, and he urges you to sit on the plush cot. 

He cups your cheek, planting a kiss to your forehead before he backs away, going towards his wooden chest. He grabs a white shirt of his own, the pin striped one that he always wears. He certainly won't be needing white tomorrow. Then he grabs a bottle of tonic, bringing both back towards you.

He brings your chin up lightly with his fingers, bringing the bottle of tonic to your lips until you've drunk down enough to please him. And then he slides the shirt down over your head and arms, not bothering to unbutton it as it swallows you up.

"Tonic should help with the pain." He mutters, sitting down next to you on the bed. It dips under his weight as he lies down on the cot, gently pulling you into the crook of his side so as to not hurt you. Sniffling, you nuzzle against his chest, reveling in the warmth and safety that he provides. 

"They'll never lay a finger on you again." He growls to himself, eyes fixated on the ceiling as an instinctual, primal rage burns in his gut, "I'll make sure of it."

Dutch comforts you to sleep, knowing that he won't be getting any slumber tonight. Once your eyelids are fluttered closed, and your breaths grow slow and quiet, he looks over your arm draped across his chest. He sees the finger prints there, where some lowlife bastard has left his mark on your body. He sees the blossom of yellow and purple along your cheeks, and the fire in his eyes burns. 

The O'Driscolls can harm Dutch in whatever ways they wish. They can beat him, hang him, ship him to the gallows but touching even a hair on your head is a step too far. You're his, his family, his love, his life and he will be damned if someone gets away with harming you. Colm intended to get under Dutch's skin and it worked, now all the O'Driscolls will have to pay the price. 

The same O'driscolls that hurt you have moved camp, sitting comfortably under the stars, joking of the praise they'll receive for finding the Van der Linde. Little do they know that come morning, the devil himself will be on their doorstep, commanding death. Hurting you will be the last thing those bastards ever do. 

— — — —

You wake up to the sound of quiet rustling. It's still dark out, most likely very early morning. You roll onto your side, wincing slightly. Dutch is not in bed, but is fastening his gun belt over his hips. He's fully dressed, even adorning his black bowler hat. 

"I didn't mean to wake you." Dutch whispers at the sound of your rustling, and your eyes flicker up to his own as he turns to you. 

"Where are you going?" You ask, as if you need to. You already know what he's doing, and anxiety pangs in your chest at the idea. 

"Just have something I need to take care of. Don't you worry about it, my dear." Dutch responds, walking to the side of the bed. He cups your cheek, pressing a slow kiss to your lips before letting you go. 

"I have more tonic here, and Arthur is outside in case you need anything else. I've ordered him there until I return." Dutch says, sliding his ivory-gripped pistols into his holsters. You nod, wishing he would stay with you, but also wanting him to take down those monsters. 

"Dutch?" You whisper, watching as he steps towards the door, turning around at the sound of your voice. 

"Yes?" 

"Please be careful… and please hurry back to me." You say, hand extending out to him. He smiles, gripping your hand and pressing a kiss to your knuckles. 

"I'll move mountains to get back to you quickly, miss." Dutch offers, squeezing your hand lightly before letting it go. 

And then he's gone, walking through the exit with haste.

He stops at the front of his tent, addressing Arthur who is sitting in a folding chair outside with a leg propped up. 

"If she needs anything at all, you get it for her. If something happens, if she even gets a goddamn papercut, send John to get me." Arthur nods, glancing up from his journal to take in his instructions, "And son? Thank you." Dutch tips his hat to Arthur then, stomping up towards The Count who is already saddled. 

He wastes not even a second, swinging his leg over the stallion and spurring him into the night. Tonight he's grateful for the Arabian. There's no animal that could get him across the plains faster. Dutch is nothing short of a force to be reckoned with, barreling across The Heartlands on his snow white Arabian. His pistols glisten in the moonlight, as does the growing rage in his eyes. It doesn't take long for him to take in his surroundings, and in the distance on top of the hill he sees a shouldering billow of smoke, rising up through the trees. With his eyes fixated on the smoke, he digs his spurs into The Count, urging him to pick up speed. In half a second he's close enough to see the outlay of the camp. It's the O'Driscolls alright. 

From a distance far enough to not be spotted, Dutch sees three O'Driscolls, clad in green scarves. They're joking around a campfire, laughing and talking loudly, toasting bottles of liquor. With a bubble of rage coming up in his throat, Dutch rides The Count straight towards the camp, not bothering to sneak. Drunk or just idiots, they don't see him coming until he's nearly in the camp. 

"Boys!" Dutch hollers, smiling as if greeting old friends. He's switched that famous Dutch van der Linde charisma on, smiling and raising his hands up in the air. The Count strides straight up to them, stopping once he's a handful of feet away from the fire. 

"That's Dutch van der Linde!" One yells, raising his revolver up, pointing it at Dutch with a downright panicked expression on his face. The other two shy backwards, raising their weapons with trembling hands. They had not expected Dutch personally, and certainly not so soon. They were expecting him to go after Colm, but Dutch wants these boys, the ones who hurt you. 

Dutch only raises his hands up in further surrender, sliding off The Count as he approaches the fire slowly.

"Now I don't want no trouble." Dutch says, taking a seat at a log by the fire. The O'driscolls look at eachother afraid and nervous, gauging what he's going to do. 

"Fine night tonight, isn't it?" Dutch asks, looking up to the moon with a chuckle. He rests his hand on his leg, keeping a charismatic demeanor as he does so. 

"Sure, now what you want? We ain't got no business with you." One spits out, revolver wavering from where it's pointed at Dutch. 

Dutch chuckles deep in his chest, a threatening glance landing over the three men across the fire.

"Is that so?" Dutch asks, taking into account that two of the three men have bruised, bloody knuckles. He squints his eyes, growling at the sight of your blood on their hands. 

"Which one of you is in charge?" Dutch asks, looking between the three, deducing that the man with no blood on his hands is most likely the one giving orders. 

"We only answer to Colm." The smaller of them speaks up. 

"Colm's not here… now I'll ask again, which one of you is in charge." Dutch growls, growing irritated with their lies. The two bloody-knuckled boys glance to the biggest man, and Dutch smiles. 

"Your name?" Dutch asks the large man. The leader is looking Dutch in the eyes, unwavering unlike his lackeys.

"Nicholas." The leader offers, not giving his last name. Dutch nods, leaning back on the log. 

"Tell me, Nicholas, would you condone your men here hurting a defenseless woman?" Dutch's gaze turns into knives, "Hurting my woman?" Dutch asks, standing from his position on the log. It's then that Nicholas sees the rage in his eyes, the unbridled ferocity that is about to be cast upon him. Nicholas stutters, standing up and backing away from Dutch slightly. 

"I ain't got no idea what you're talking about." Nicholas spits, keeping his gun raised at Dutch as he takes a step back with every one of Dutch's steps forward. 

"I think you do, boy. And let me tell you, you're gonna have to pull that trigger if you plan on stopping me." Dutch all but growls, stepping closer to Nicholas until he can see the fear in his eyes. Nicholas is ready to fire, but with the proximity, Dutch whips the revolver out of his hand, tossing it towards the treeline in one swift movement. Colm never worried about hiring good gunmen, the men are pathetic in their weapon skills, and Dutch knows this.

Dutch unholsters his own pistol then, ivory grip tight in his hand as he pulls the hammer down, aiming it towards the smaller men. 

"I suggest you drop those weapons." Dutch hisses, no room for argument as they toss their weapons aside, trembling. 

Then his attention is back on Nicholas, black eyes boring into the suddenly weak-statured man. 

"Now Nicholas, I'm not about persecuting an innocent man. So I suggest you tell me right now and I'll know if you're lying. Did you order these lowlives to put their hands on her?" Dutch growls, coming forward again until Nicolas stumbles backwards, back hitting a tree. 

"No! No goddammit, I didn't even see a woman!" Nicholas yells, afraid for his life and regretting all the decisions that brought him here. 

Dutch chuckles humorlessly, backing up from the men while keeping his gun at the ready to kill any of them. He backs away to a pile of blankets and food by the campfire, kicking it with his foot until he finds what he saw earlier when he was scouting the camp. His boot toes at an empty, walnut colored saddlebag, and he kicks it across the dirt, sending it straight down towards the O'Driscolls. 

They all pale, looking down to the saddlebag with your initials sewn into the leather with red thread, lined with ruby colored roses. Dutch fumes, watching as the boys' eyes flicker down to the pack they had stolen from your horse and then back up to Dutch.

"I thought I told you not to lie to me." Dutch hisses, holstering his gun before coming forward and gripping Nicholas by the collar, he slams the man against the tree, getting up in his face. The other two O'Driscolls dare not to move, shocked into a state of fear as they watch on. 

"We was just following orders-" Nicholas begs, whimpering before Dutch grips the handle of his knife from its holster and in one swift movement he plunges it into the man's gut. Nicholas gasps, gripping at the knife in his gut, but Dutch holds it steady, grinding it deep in his guy and turning the blade. Dutch holds eye contact with Nicholas, growling as the life begins to drain from the other man's eyes. Blood spews from Nicholas, all over Dutch as the weaker man gasps and grunts. Dutch leans into the other man's ear, making sure his voice is the last thing the bastard ever hears. 

"This is for her." Dutch growls, twisting the knife until he hears bones crunching before ripping the knife back out of him. Nicholas slides to the ground, guts and blood falling out as he slides down against the tree. Dutch kneels on the ground, wiping his bloodied knife on Nicholas's jeans to clean it off. 

"I'll see you in hell." Dutch growls, sliding his knife back into its sheath before turning to address the men off to the side. 

"You." Dutch growls, unholstering his pistol and aiming it at one of the boys' heads. 

"Where is Colm?" Dutch asks, voice as cold as ice. 

"S-six point cabin, up in Cumberland forest! Just please don't kill me!" The man rambles, trembling with his hands in the air as he tries to save his own life. With no hesitation, Dutch pulls the hammer down and in quick succession shoots twice, hitting both men in their chests. 

With the barrel still smoking, Dutch shoves his gun into its holster, looking around at the now quiet camp. It's still dark, and he glances down to his pocket watch. There is blood smeared on the golden chain, and he wipes it away to check the time. 

It's only been an hour, and he's satisfied that he still has time to join you in bed before the sun rises. Dutch whistles for The Count, rummaging through the camp and carefully stuffing your saddlebag with your stolen belongings. Once he has everything, he mounts up, glancing back to the three bodies only momentarily before spurring The Count back home to you. 

— — — — 

You perk up at the sound of his voice outside the tent. Resting up on your elbows, you listen as Dutch thanks Arthur and bids him goodnight. He doesn't come straight to the tent, instead you listen as he splashes his face in the water barrel outside, likely washing away the blood that is on his skin. He dresses down into his union suit, placing his stained clothes in a neat pile by the washing bin. 

You pull the blankets around yourself tighter, smiling as Dutch steps into the tent, quickly coming over to you.

"How are you feeling?" He asks, leaning down to brush a stray hair away from your face. 

"Better now…Come to bed with me." You plead, wincing as you slide over to make more room for him. 

He climbs in beside you, laying on his side. Facing him, you nuzzle into his chest as he wraps his arms around you. He's so warm, so strong and solid against your chest. You're sure that you can face anything with him by your side, protecting and loving you. You glance up at him through heavy eyelashes, seeing that he is lost in thought. 

"Hey?" You whisper to him, pulling his attention down to you. Immediately when his eyes land on yours, his lips break into a smile, and you can feel his chest thrum against yours. 

"I love you." You tell him, and though he's heard the words fall from your lips countless times, it still pulls in his chest. 

And then you lean up to him, ignoring the pain of your split lip as you press your lips against his, kissing him softly. He kisses you back, lengthening the intimate moment by placing his hand on your hip. When you pull away, catching your breath, you can see that Dutch is relieved, reassured that you're still here with him. He presses his forehead against yours, leaning in to press one gentle kiss to your nose. 

"I love you too… and I won't let anyone hurt you, not ever again." Dutch growls, pulling your head against his chest and holding you there. 

You know he will do everything in his power to protect you, but you also know that things like this are inevitable. You're going to get hurt, it's inescapable, and it's a thought that haunts Dutch often. But for now at least, you're safe, tucked into his arms, and he has no intentions of letting you go.

Sorry if this has been asked before but I was wondering how you do the outline lineart effect in paint tool sai? (The stark white with the black outline)

I don't know what you mean exactly but you have the outline option in SAI 2 (not in the original SAI)

On the layer you want outlined you select the outline option under the Layer tab. You can adjust the width and color of the outline here. It is then added to the layer and you can not remove it. That's why I always copy the layer and put the outline on that layer instead of the original one, so I can still change the color and remove it if I like (to get an outline of your whole drawing, simply merge all your layers and copy that, undoing the merging afterwards)

You also have the effect of water fringe, which can be found above the layers and underneath the canvas viewer. Unlike the outline you can undo this one, and it will show up live when you draw (every stroke you make will automatically have an outline). However, it is always a darker color of the original color and can not be changed.

I use the outline for things like an outline around the whole drawing, or sparkles and bubbles. And water fringe is used for shadows and hair in my art! To give an example :) Hope this is what you meant!

Surrender

Pairing: Ricky Starks x Reader

Warnings/Promises: Angst, canon-level violence

Word Count: 850

Note: Doing a bit of a character study for a larger work thats about to come out. In the words of the Dread Pirate Roberts: "To the Pain" ->

The roar of the crowd echoed in your head like a pack of wolves baying for blood. Just feet from you, caged in by ring ropes and across a desert of canvas, the love of your life battled for you.

Already you could see the bruises forming on his skin. The bright welt across his chest from the slaps. The dark gelatinous forms around his ribs from punches and kicks. But what worried you the most was how Joe’s elbows were hungry to catch Ricky’s throat. If he did that, it would end the match.

Every so often, Joe glanced your way. The match progressed, and Ricky’s offense moved slower and slower. And Joe’s face slid with ease into a smug grin as the end glared inevitable.

“I need to ask you something.” You twisted the traitorous cloth around your fingers. Small enough to hide from Ricky on your way down to the match. Large enough to weigh like a boulder of guilt in your pocket. You swallowed as Britt waited for you to continue. “What do you do? When Adam is going to far; when you both know he won’t return to you in one piece?”

She tasted several answers on her tongue before answering. “You be there for him. Stand there. Watch the pain, feel it burn in your lungs. And you give it back to him as a strength that will motivate him either to the finish or the end. But my experiences… they’re not like what you’re going to have to endure. I’m sorry I can’t be more help.”

“That’s alright. Thank you.”

The ring shook as Ricky bounced off the ropes, hurtling towards his target. His eyes gleamed with focus and determination. Despite what advice Britt had given you, the cheers and praise you wanted to give him died on your lips. Mostly you could manage a smile when he looked your way. One that he would return. And then shift back to the matter at hand.

Still, your lungs quaked.

If he won: he was number one contender. If he tapped out: Joe was number one contender. And you would work for him instead. No pinfall. No count-outs. No disqualifications. Submission only.

You knew him. His match with Danielson was before you joined the roster as Ricky’s valet. And before the feelings developed. You hated how you longed for his touch after matches now. Wanting to feel and know that he was okay like you had never needed before. Ricky wouldn’t tap. He had passed out instead of tapping to Danielson’s brutal victory. The recovery period had, apparently, been more brutal than what the cameras revealed.

Would you be able to survive them with him?

Would the potential championship be worth it?

Then, your nightmare came to fruition.

Joe’s grip caught Ricky’s wrist. With a quick tug, your love was in his arms. Joe turned so you could see his face contort, so you could see him gasp for air. And behind him, like a grinning gargoyle ready to spill a waterfall of brimstone on your dreams, Joe watched you. He waited. Listened. Patiently paused his malice to see what you would do.

“Here.” Joe drifted out of the shadows and handed you a small square of white. “He’s going to need it.”

The fabric seemed to burn your hands. But Joe refused to take it back.

“We both know him. You better than most. He won’t tap. To keep you near he’d rather hold hot coals than let me borrow you.” He stepped near, trapping you against the wall. “I won’t need you long. I promise. Once the title’s mine, you can go back to him. But he’s in my way of getting my title back. If he wants to have a bit of a rematch after I hold gold, he’s welcome to it. Until then,” he nodded at the cloth, “think about it. And what’s best for him.”

Biting your bottom lip, you dragged the surrender out of your pocket.

Ricky’s eyes, already drooping shut from wont of oxygen, widened. He did his best to shake his head. Holding out his hand, he rasped, “reach for me.”

Your hand slid between the ropes. Though your fingertips would never be able to touch, maybe your closer proximity could help him find a way out?

The grip tightened around his throat, and Joe fell to one side. His leg pinned down Ricky’s flailing limbs.

You watched the glow fade from his eyes. His gaze, glazed and empty, never moved from where he knew you to be. But his lips were already taking on a purple hue.

Joe nodded at the square in your hands.

Against your will, it dragged your hand up to the bottom rope, draping the white fabric where everyone could see it.

“No! Y/N, I’ll-” Ricky coughed, forcing a smidgen of oxygen into his lungs. “I’ll be alright. Don’t.”

Without sound, you whispered, “I’m sorry.”

“Y/N!”

Before you could think about it, your knees bit into the apron and you caught the attention of the referee. Eyes brimming with tears, you tossed in the towel, ending the match.

[lis-muerta]

“You tried and that’s what counts.”

Sorry, this took so long! I didn't know what to write and decided to play with an idea, again and idea I just like writing what-ifs. I didn't edit as much so I'm sorry if it's hard to read also.

The evening sky bled into shades of deep purple and mauve pink, casting a somber glow over Republic City. Lin stood alone on the balcony of her high-rise apartment, overlooking the sprawling urban landscape that buzzed beneath her. The city lights flickered like distant stars, a stark contrast to the turmoil brewing within her.

Lin's hands gripped the cold, metal railing, her knuckles turning white. She had always been a pillar, an inflexible protector of the city, but tonight, she felt the weight of her own world pressing down on her shoulders. The decision had been made decades ago, yet the heaviness of its reality was just beginning to sink in.

Inside, the soft sounds of Yun's laughter filtered through the open door. He was listening to the radio shows while painting the new spirit portal, his youthful mind blissfully unaware of the complexities that clouded his mother's heart. Lin watched him for a moment, her heart swelling with love yet aching with a silent grief. Yun, who could barely walk on his own, relaxing in the living room, his hands moving skillfully over the canvas, his laughter a balm to her weary soul. She had chosen this path for him, for her, believing it was the only way to balance the scales of her ambitions and her responsibilities. But at what cost?

A cool breeze whispered through the air, carrying with it the faint echoes of Aang's wisdom, reminding her of conversations long past. Lin closed her eyes, letting the wind caress her face, as if seeking counsel from the spirits that seemed to murmur just out of reach. She remembered Aang's gentle warning about the sacrifices leadership entailed, about the delicate balance between personal desires and the greater good. How right he had been, and how naive she had felt now, thinking she could escape the inevitable.

—

Lin recalled the early days of her relationship with Tenzin, filled with laughter and stolen moments between their responsibilities. They had walked through the parks of Republic City, hand in hand, dreaming of their future together now that they were married .Those memories were tinged with the golden light of young love, so stark against the complexities they faced now.

Life at the air temple had grown increasingly chaotic over the past few years. Between Su's troubles and Toph's abrupt retirement, Lin found herself caught in a whirlwind of change. The new police chief was more accommodating of Lin's dual responsibilities, but even that small mercy did little to ease the strain. Her body was betraying her.

Then there was Yun an, the thirteen-year-old legs kept giving out, a frequent agony he was in, that they slowly realized he would never become a master despite his extensive knowledge and strong spirit.The image of her son, grappling with tasks that other children found effortless, weighed heavily on her heart.

Lin was late. She hoped it was just the stress, the relentless pace of her life as a protector and a mother. Tenzin had shared his concerns with her, mentioning how Katara had seen Aang struggling with Yun. Avatar Aang was getting weaker and more ill . The fact Aang wouldn't live forever caused her to tremble with fear.

One particularly trying day, Lin found herself donned in an acolyte's uniform, leading a meditation circle because there was no one else available. As she attempted to guide the acolytes, her mind raced with doubts. Could she truly embrace this life of spiritual leadership? Was she destined to be the island mother, leaving her fate to the universe? The session ended disastrously, a wave of nausea overwhelming her, a battle she had been staving off until that moment.

The realization hit her hard. If she were pregnant again, it would jeopardize her chance at a promotion. How could she manage a newborn when Yun already required so much of her attention? It would be unfair to bring another child into this chaos, potentially replicating the strained relationship she had with Su. Each day brought sickness, a relentless reminder of her predicament. She had tried to see if she could fit into the role of a spiritual leader, but her heart longed for the action and command of police work.

Lin curled into a ball, tears streaming down her face after another bout of sickness. She knew she had to make a choice. She had only decided to have Yun because it aligned with her goals; she could stay home, finish school, and still ascend to police chief back then. But with Aang's life spinning down the drain and Tenzin's expectations of expanding their family, she felt trapped between her aspirations and her responsibilities.

—

the day she told Tenzin she couldn't walk the path he envisioned, filled with more children and spiritual duties. She loved him, yes, but she loved her career and herself too. "I won’t forgive myself if I toss my dreams for yours," she had said, her voice steady but her heart breaking. Tenzin had looked at her, his expression a mix of understanding and sorrow, a silent acknowledgment of the diverging roads before them. Lin left the rest to fate, silently hoping he would bend for her as she had for him, but instead their home turned into a battlefield and Tenzin made his decision when his father died and he abandoned her to figure it out. Leaving her with a huge mess and later a messy divorce. That he decided he didn't need or want them anymore was how she felt when he walked down the aisle with a girl half his age, who saw him like a all powerful being and not her loser she had loved endlessly.

—

Opening her eyes, Lin looked out towards the horizon where the ocean met the sky, the dark waters reflecting the last light of the dying day. She thought of Tenzin, his dreams of a family intertwined with the spiritual duties of his heritage. She loved him deeply, profoundly, yet knew in her heart that their paths demanded different sacrifices. She couldn't be the partner he needed, not while her own dreams pulsed so fervently within her.

The realization was a quiet wraith in the twilight, a shadow that no amount of city light could dispel. Lin knew she was choosing a path filled with what-ifs and might-have-beens. The thought of failing Yun in some unforeseen way, of not being there when he needed her most, gnawed at her. Yet, surrendering her aspirations, her very essence, would be a different kind of failure altogether—one she wasn't prepared to face.

"You tried, and that’s what counts," she whispered to herself, a mantra to soothe the storm inside. But the words felt hollow in the cool evening air, a feeble shield against the tide of doubt and regret.

As night fell over Republic City, Lin remained on the balcony, a solitary figure etched against the backdrop of a world she vowed to protect. The future was a landscape shrouded in mist, paths uncertain and fraught with shadows. But Lin was no stranger to hard choices. With a final, lingering look at the new spirt portal, she turned back inside, to the life she had chosen, to the son who she loved more than she loved herself, ready to face whatever storms might come now that the world has changed again.

chad meeks-martin x male reader

while at a fourth of july party, you and chad sneak off to have your own fun...

red white and blue seemed to permeate your vision from the bathroom window as rough hands intertwined with your fingers. you sat on top of the bar’s bathroom countertop, your back against the wall and lips against your neck.

chad had suggested you two sneak off, him too bored of the july 4th celebrations to stick around. you nonetheless agreed, said goodbye to your friends, and was whisked off to some bathroom in the bar you were in.

that's how you were here, chad lapping at your neck while sounds of pleasure escaped from you. he moved towards you further, parting your legs and slotting inbetween them perfectly. the sounds of people partying outside escaped you, too focused on the high you wanted to chase. his hands stretched across the your body, embracing the canvas that was you. he rubbed at your thighs, moaning further into the your neck and eventually causing you to fall back against the bathroom mirror.

chad pulled his lips off your neck and stared you down, removing his hands from yours and placing them on your thighs, circling them. he looked into your eyes, his sickeningly sweet gaze causing the heat within your cheeks to burn like embers.

"you ready?" were the only words he muttered out, his voice deeper, seductive. he was focused on you and only you, not caring about anyone outside the four white walls.

‘who wouldn’t be’, you thought to yourself, nodding as you awaited for whatever chad was going to do with you. chad backed up and pulled his sweatshirt off by the neck, revealing his white tank top underneath, sweaty muscles filling the shirt to the brim. his eyes quickly made their way back to you, lifting your arms up effortlessly and sliding your shirt up and off of you, dropping it to the ground beside you.

the kissing match began once more, chad on your lips while his hands palmed the sides of your ass, pushing you up further into the bathroom wall. you tried to be more mindful of the noises you were making, but chad didn’t seem to care, smacking your ass to elicit a yelp from you. he smiled as he kissed you further, while you hoped the music outside would be loud enough to distract those from hearing you in such a disheveled state.

while he seemed to be doing all the work, you wanted chad to feel good too. with your hands now free, you placed them on his belt buckle. it took a second for you to unlatch them since you couldn't see, but once it became undone, you forced his pants down, chad in nothing but his stark white tank top and his tight as hell boxers. he backed off, noticing how you had undressed him with ease.

"oh, you're more eager than i thought." you ignored him and his cheeky smile, your fingers reaching for the large bulge in his red boxers. his dick seemed to stick outward like a missile, your fingers palming him through the stretchy fabric. you gave a tug or two, chad reeling from the feeling by gripping your thighs with force, gentle but stern.

you did a couple more tugs, watching the look on his face as you serviced him. his tip leaked through his boxers, but you ignored the sticky wet feeling on your hands, addicted to watching his dick twitch behind his boxers. chad decided to become proactive, maneuvering your hand aside and sliding his own onto his boxers and pushing them down to the floor tiles below.

"sorry, i was suffocating in those." he joked. with chad letting you have your fun, he decided it was time for his. he pulled your belt buckles down to him, laying you flat on the bathroom countertop, his body slotted in-between your thighs. his left hand reached for your belt buckle while his right hand continued to stroke himself, albeit more slowly than he liked. the belt buckle popped free and with both legs, he pulled both your pants and underwear off in one fell swoop. his hands unleashed a deathly grip onto your ass, the smack echoing through the bathroom.

"fuckin’ love your ass baby,” he moaned out, staring at you lied out on the bathroom tiles. you decided to have fun with him, knowing how much chad could get chatty in situations like these. "then show me."

chad flashed his teeth in a smile, wasting no time to get to work. he sucked on a couple of his fingers, before forcing two of them inside of you, a pleasurable moan releasing from you that he chuckled at. he had never done two fingers on the first go-round, but chad was always pushing limits- ‘adapting to his boyfriend’ as he called it. you couldn’t lie about how good it felt, your fingers gripping the stone edges of the countertop while controlling your breathing. soon, you got adjusted to his knobby fingers and he continued to touch you and make you feel good.

his fingers moved in rigid motions inside you as chad kept eye contact with you, eyeing you as you twitched and squirmed beneath his touch. you inhaled sharply at his fingers, chad never failing to keep you in awe at how good he was with them.

"you think that's good enough babe?" he'd asked, his fingers coming to a halt. too worked out from the pleasure, you nodded and elicited a soft ‘hmm’ to signify you were ready. he readjusted his hips, wiggling his dick to line up with you. to prepare, you breathed in and closed your eyes, trying to prepare you for what’s to come.

chad’s penis seemed to rip any hope of preparedness you had to pieces, a guttural scream coming from you as he thrusted in. you threw your muscles onto his shoulders, tensing up from him being inside you. chad’s penis could reach up to a good 8 inches if he was horny enough, and with all the drinks he had downed today, he was definitely there. he placed his hands on your stomach to manage a grip onto you, while thrusting further.

the relentless onslaught that chad brought upon you felt good in a way you couldn’t describe. chad’s hips seemed to roll in a way that you could never quite adjust to, each stroke- each thrust, not quite being the same as the last.

you dug your fingernails into his shoulders when he hit the spot, another good mannered scream releasing from inside of you. at this point, you were worried some people would knock on the door and try to enter, but chad seemed to gather your focus back onto him with some words of his own.

he bent down into your ear, whispering to you while penetrating you mercilessly. “you’re my good boy, you know that right? only good boys can take this dick right, and daddy’s gonna cum soon.”

he moved your legs from his hips and onto his shoulders, achieving even a further reach inside your ass. you nodded at his words, eyes rolling from the intense dicking he gave you. his thrusts became less and less focused and more and more hungry, he was definitely close to cumming soon.

cheers came from outside as some knocks could be heard from the locked bathroom door. people screamed various affirmations like ‘you go boy!’ to just claps of appraisal.

“c-chad we ha…have to stop. they can actually H-hear us!” you didn’t hesitate to voice your concerns on the exhibitionism you guys indulged in, but chad wouldn’t budge, grabbing your hands and pinning them down onto the bathroom sink. “no we don’t baby, just focus on me and this dick.”

chad pushed further and further inside you. his consistency about his strokes had faded and all he had left was one thing: him finishing the job right. your sunken stomach felt extremely tight the more he continued, and you tapped him rapidly to signal that you were gonna cum and he more than acknowledged that, voicing his own progress with a simple ‘mhm me too’.

you were first though, a whimper of pleasure as your stomach became painted in a tint of white, some of your own semen making it onto your lips and some part of your cheek. chad followed closely behind, him pulling out of your destroyed hole and stroking himself to the finish line, his dick purple from the pressure. he exploded ontop of you, making his mark across your face, stomach, and even some on the mirror behind you. he came with a weakened scream of pleasure of his own, releasing all of his energy from himself.

the high you once had was gone, your lidded eyes looking up at chad. he seemed to calm down, his hands falling to his side while peering down at you in such a disarray. he smiled at his handiwork and ran a hand across his forehead and leaned in for a kiss.

“let’s go back and see if the party got more interesting.”

Stark Spangled Banner Masterlist // Main Masterlist // Kinktober Masterlist

Steve stepped out of the elevator onto the training floor of Avengers Tower, wiping his brow. He’d just been for a run and was now ready to hit the shower and kill a few hours before dinner. He intended to drop in on Tony and Banner, see if they’d made any more headway with whatever it was they were doing with the sceptre.

But first, he wanted to find Katie. She’s been a little quiet that morning. And whilst she insisted she was okay after the whole ‘Dani-with-an-I-’thing, he knew his girl was absolutely one for holding grudges.

Before he had left for his daily jog (or sprint as the case may be for people without super strength and speed), he’d checked the training rota and knew she had a sparring session with Widow. So he passed the Drill Simulation Suite and headed to the main gymnasium room at the back where he knew the girls held their sessions. As he turned the corner at the bottom of the corridor, he narrowly avoided colliding with Natasha.

“Oh, sorry, Nat…”

“Not as sorry as you’re gonna be if you go in there.” She jerked her head towards the doors and snorted. 

“What do you mean?”

“Katie is in there…kicking the shit out of a punch bag.”

Steve groaned inwardly, “I though you guys were sparring.”

"Yeah, we were until she clocked me twice, a rarity." Natasha jutted her chin upward.

Steve arched a brow. “She did?”

"Yeah, so I'm gonna hit the showers. Good luck, pal."

With a deep breath, Steve continued towards the door of the gym. It was no secret, his fiancée scared the shit out of him at times. And he also wasn’t sure he wanted to deal with another display of petulance like yesterday, especially seeing as he was under the assumption they’d talked it through, and fucked it through, in the car lot.

The sliding door was opened by JARVIS and the Captain stepped in. Sure as told, Katie was masticating the hung canvas bag. Her hands were wrapped to protect the knuckles but it didn't seem to be doing much good, for Steve's keen sight picked up the tinge of blood peeking through the white gauze. She was covered in a glistening sheen of sweat and pieces of her hair were drooping wetly in her face. Her black leggings clung to her legs while her sports bra kept her shapely breasts secure.

"Doll..." he said with a soft but loud tone to be heard.

She gave no response, no indication she knew of his presence.

"Katie..." Steve tried again as he stepped closer.

This time she'd heard him, but her only reply was a heavy round house kick to the bag, sending it swinging towards Steve's face.

It was a futile shot at him, his cat like reflexes easily saved him as he caught it, holding it in his strong arms.

“Sweetheart, your hands are bleeeding.”

She looked down at the pinkish stained wrap and shrugged, huffing the hair from her face.

“Hey…” Steve frowned, still holding the punch bag, “what’s wrong?”

"Don't know." She grunted. "Just....rage. Frustration, irritation? What do you want, Steve?"

“I came to find you, I knew you had a session with Natasha. Although she seems to have bailed early as you got the better of her. Twice by all accounts.”

Katie stalked to the bench where her towel and water were and grabbed the bottle. She took a big chug and flopped down.

“She faltered, I saw an opening."

“Clearly.”

A huge sigh escaped her chest. "I'm sorry. I guess I'm, I don't know..."

Steve sighed and let go of the punch bag. “Doll, you’ve been quiet since last night. What’s eating ya?”

"Dani with an I, I suppose."

Steve groaned, “really?” He walked towards her and took a seat to her left on the bench. “I thought we went through this on the drive home.”

"I know we did. I know." She sighed. "And worked it out in the garage." She groaned. "I just, I had this awful dream and I needed to just wreck it out. I don't know."

“Wanna tell me about it?” Steve asked softly, not a shred of annoyance in his tone. He knew only too well how vivid and real dreams could seem and feel, way after the night had gone and the sun was out. The woman to his right was the person to whom he credited with the fact most of his night terrors and flashbacks had stopped.

"Long and the short, you were in our bed, with her, and it was.... You were...."

Steve looked at Katie, shaking his head. “You know, if it hadn’t upset you so much I’d laugh and call you ridiculous.” He nudged her gently with his elbow. “Sweetheart, look at me.”

She swallowed and brought her eyes to his. "It's stupid, I feel ridiculous, but it felt so real.”

“I get it, you know I do.” He looked at her, “you’ve seen me wake up in cold sweats from my dreams. And I you. But you know, I’d never do that to you. Ever. I love you.”

Katie nodded. "I know."

"JARVIS, lock down the gym. Systems offline," Steve asked of the AI, ensuring no one would disturb them as he knew she hated anyone seeing her vulnerability in such a way. "Let me see your hands, sweetheart."

The AI replied with his obliging confirmation as Katie twisted on the bench and held her arms out.

With slow and delicate movements, Steve held her right hand in his as he unwrapped the gauze. Over her knuckles and between her fingers he went, exposing the bruising and cuts she'd inflicted with each punch to the canvas and leather sand filled bag. When the right was through, and his lips pressed into her closed fist, he moved to the left and repeated the actions. Then in both his large hands, he held hers, attention brought to her engagement finger where he gave a tender, long held kiss.

"Better?" He wondered.

“They don’t hurt,” Katie wrinkled her nose, “not yet anyway. Although they’re not really gonna look pretty tomorrow at the party.”

She moved to stretch them both out, and Steve watched, this time his eyes lingered on the slightly bent pinkie finger of her left hand. Katie was still unable to fully straighten the misshapen digit; it was unlikely she ever would and that it would simply remain as of the few physical reminders of what she’d been through little over six months ago at the hands of Hydra. Mind you, it was a miracle (in the shape of a damned good orthopaedic surgeon) that a misshapen finger was the only lasting sign that her left hand had been all but shattered to pieces when they’d brought her home.

"Doll...." Steve cupped Katie's face. "What can I do?"

She blinked back her tears as she shook her head. “I don’t know.” She licked her lips, “I know everyone was on about movies and pizza tonight but…do you mind if we don’t? I’m feeling anti-social.”

"Of course, we don't have to do anything you don't want to. We don't even have to go tomorrow if you're not feeling up for it. Even if it's last minute."

“No, tomorrow’s… I wanna go. I got a new dress especially.”

"Alright." Steve nodded with a soft smile. "Tell you what, why don't we go back to ours, clean up and fuck off the rest of the day? I’ll make us a grilled cheese…”

“Language…” she muttered softly, her lips curling up into a little side smirk.

Steve snorted with a playful glint in his eyes. "Shhhh." He leaned forward and kissed her.Katie melted into him, her hands resting gently on his thighs as his cupped her face once more.

Steve was measured in the way he moved his lips over hers, cautiously looking to kiss her a little deeper to show her that he understood he was giving her what she needed. She took what he was offering, almost greedily, like she was seeking comfort from whatever it was that had gotten her so upset. And Steve has a suspicion that it was more than a stupid dream about him bedding some random woman they’d only met the day before. But he also understood that she might not completely understand herself why she was so wound up.

His hands slipped from her face to down her neck and curled over her ribs the further they went. Her bare skin felt hot. He felt her shiver at his touch, her hands now in his hair, her nails raking over his scalp.

Steve groaned at the tick of pain. It felt good. Strong hands now gripped at her waist and tugged her a bit closer toward him as they both were straddling the bench. 

It was almost automatic, the way he leaned forward to gently lay her down on the wooden surface. For a second or so, it all seemed to be going the way it usually did for them in a moment like this, and then Steve felt Katie go rigid, and her hands pushed at his chest.

Steve backed off, sitting right back up, pulling her with him. "I'm sorry."

“It’s not…it’s not you.” She shook her head, “its not, you know it isn’t. It’s the…the bench, it’s cold and hard and…the lights in here…looking at them…”

Steve immediately understood. She was suffering from a sudden sensory recall, a flashback even, and it wasn’t the first time either.

“C'mere," he pulled her close. It was hard for him, not frustratingly, but to not know where, when, how even the simplest action might trigger her. It damn well broke his heart every time. Bruce had warned him it was likely to continue for a long time, possibly the rest of her life.  Just like certain things still triggered memories of the war and being drowned in the icy ocean for him. 

This time, it was clearly the feel of the bench against her back, the lights in her eyes that had sent her back to that cell she’d been kept and brutalised in. 

He cradled her head against him, his arms wrapped around her, one cupping the back of her head at the base of her neck. The other, slung over her mid back to press her into him. "I'm sorry, doll."

“Stop apologising, this isn’t your fault.”

"I know," he sighed. "You're safe. It's just me."

It took a few deep breaths, but eventually he felt her relax in his hold, her cheek pressing to his chest.

"Thassit, sweetheart," he breathed deep with her. He pulled back a second and looked down at his girl. "C'mon, let's go back to the loft."

She nodded and wiped her eyes. “I don’t wanna feel like this, Steve. I hate it…and I don’t understand it.”

“Katie, there’s nothing to understand.” He shook his head, “you…what happened to you was…it was unbelievably traumatic and…”

“I know, I get that bit and I can understand the flashbacks and dreams but I don’t get this…” she waved her hand around. “Why does my back hitting a hard surface make me clam up? I’m with you. It’s not like we ain’t had sex since…well, since I recovered. We’ve had quite a lot, as it happens. You even got a little bit forceful in the elevator the other day after the mission and I liked it, Steve…so why…why…”

"No one really knows why this stuff happens. It just does. Something does or doesn't connect right, and processing it goes to shit."

Katie remained silent for a moment, looking at her hands. “Well, I’m pissed off at it all. If we can bone in the seat of a car in the parking lot, we should be able to here.”

Despite himself, Steve felt a smirk curl on his face at her downright, petulant tone and he chuckled. “Oh, sweetheart. I don’t think it’s as simple as that.”

"Well, it fucking should be. I need you, Steve, and I'm either wound up or entirely spent and not in a way you make me. I raged this morning after that senseless dream and when I woke up you were already gone from the God damn day. And I was even more pissed because my fucked up brain at first thought you'd left!"

“Woah, woah…” Steve held his hands up, “I’m not gonna leave you, ever. You know this. And despite what you think or want, or wish…life isn’t that simple. You really think I still wanna have flashbacks about crashing into that damned ice berg? I don’t, but I do.” He reached for her hands, “can you remember that first birthday I spent with you, on the boat that Tony had hired.

"Yeah."

“And how I was in a blind panic when those fireworks went off, and you…you just pressed your hands over my ears and made me focus on you?”

Her eyes misted, "yeah."

“Well, I knew they were fireworks. I knew I was on that boat, with you. I knew I was safe, but that didn’t stop my mind from telling me I wasn’t.”

Katie swallowed hard. She sniffed and took a long blink.

“But just like you were for me,” he reached out for her left hand, slipping his fingers between hers, “I’m here for you, and it don’t matter how many times this happens or doesn’t…I love you. And I ain’t going anywhere.”

A big tear slid down her cheek but Steve was quick to pull her in and kiss it away. "I love you, Katie," he spoke against her cheek.

“I love you too,” she managed between hitched breaths, “I love you so much.”

Steve smiled, his hand smoothing her hair back. “You ready to go back up to the apartment?”

"No."

“Alright…” he frowned a little.

Timidly, Katie closed the gap between them, a soft kiss to his lips.

Steve let her take the lead, allowing her to set the pace, tell him what she wanted and needed. In a beat, she was in his lap, straddling him as he straddled the bench. He didn’t protest, try and warn her not to push herself. If this was how she wanted to deal with things then he was dammed if he was gonna stop her.

 She was soft, not shy, but just careful. As if she was seeing how far she could take herself.She pulled back a little, her forehead pressed to Steve’s as she brushed her nose against his. Without a word, she took his hands which had been lightly gripping the edge of the bench, and placed them on her hips.

"You sure, sweetheart?"

Katie nodded, “I need you. I want you.”

"Yes, ma'am," he snorted and pressed into her lips.

Soft, gentle flicks of her tongue against his made him sigh against her as his large hands wrapped round her back and held her to him. Gently her hips rolled against his lap and Steve's hands moved to pull at her thighs. He opened her up a little, pulling her even closer as his lips trailed warm, soft kisses across he jaw to the hinge of her jaw.

“Sweetheart, tell me what you want.”

“Love on me, Soldier…please…”

Words weren't needed, Steve merely gave a soft smile and kissed her. His hands snaked up her thighs to her naked waist and stuffed his fingers under the band of her sports bra. With a tug, he effortlessly stripped her of it and it hit the polished floor.

A smile curved over her mouth against his lips and he couldn’t help but mimic her expression as her hands reached for his compression top. He helped, pulling the item over his head by a fistful at the back of his neck. Those heavy, large hands came back to her frame, just at her ribs. Two thumbs dragged over her nipples, up and down.

Her head tipped back, a soft sigh escaping her plump lips, her hands back in his hair.

"How much do we like these pants?" Steve wondered.

“Well, I mean they’re not my best pair of gym leggings…”

"Good." He chuckled and quickly ripped them open at her hips.

“So…how do I get back to our apartment now you’ve literally ripped my pants off. Again?”

"Towel?" He smirked with a pop of his naked shoulder.

Katie couldn't reply, for Steve pulled her perfectly into his lap, seated over his growing bulge. His hands sat at her hip and her jaw, fingers entwined in her hair as he met her with a deep but soft, tongue filled kiss.

Her nimble fingers plucked at the string of those navy joggers, undoing the knot at the waist.Steve gave a grunt as she brushed his skin, still kissing her, hands where they were. Her palm was soft and warm as it wrapped around his hardening cock and he couldn’t help the moan the slipped from his mouth into hers.

Lips broke away from hers and landed on her jaw downward towards her neck as the hand from her hip coaxed its way towards her panties. Steve's hand dipped inside the material against her skin, past her mound. The tip of his middle finger brushed her clit and Katie shuddered. When his finger slipped between her dampening folds she sighed in a whimper combination.

Steve began to slowly curl his fingers as Katie started to move her wrist, both of them using an almost identical, slow rhythm.

"Fuck, doll," Steve hissed.

“Need you, Stevie…please…”

"I got you baby," Steve whispered in her ear.

“I know…” she pulled back a little to look at him, “you always do.”

"Come closer, sweetheart," he crooned.

Katie shuffled on his lap, a soft sigh flowing from her nose as his fingers were still inside her. Her legs were draped over his as she sat facing him, thighs either side of his slim waist.

"Thassit, doll," Steve responded. He fingers were palm deep inside her.

Their faces were inches apart, but Steve kept his eyes locked on his fiancée’s as her hips softly rolled into his touch. His own pelvis thrust into her palm as she tightened it around his cock.

Breaths mingled as Steve was bringing her close to orgasm, with just the touch of his fingers. He knew how to work her, get her to really feel good and sing for him.

Her little noises of pleasure were quiet, but still as arousing to the soldier as always. The way her eyes were wide and slightly glazed, blinks heavy was a sure sign she was teetering on that precipice.

"So good," Steve praised, his voice nothing but a soft baritone.

"Stevie..." Katie whimpered.

"Cum, beautiful," he crooned.

A few more rolls of her hips and Katie was shaking in his lap, her eyes wide, pupils blown as he felt her walls squeezing her fingers.

"Oh good girl, doll...."

She whimpered a little at his praise before her body sagged forward, head on his shoulder.

“Stevie…” she whispered, her lips brushing his ear.

“Yeah?” 

“Thank you.”

“What for?”

“For loving me like you do.”

“Oh,Doll. I’ll love you till my last breath.” He kissed her cheek and then he moved a little so he could see her.

Her eyes were misty, her face flushed. He felt the lump form in his throat. She was so beautiful, so loving, tender. And she was all his.

Her hand still held him, but he didn't care. It wasn't about him, his desires. It was about his love, taking care of her. Helping her through.

The hand that filled her gently came away, slowing pulling out and covered her hand over his cock. He moved her hand and a look of confusion came over Katie's face.

"Not right now," he rasped. "Let's go home, take a bath and a nap."

“And snack.” She managed, “I’m kinda hungry. You mentioned a grilled cheese?”

“I did, yes.” Steve chuckled as he placed both his hands on her hips and helped her stand. With a sudden smirk, she reached down and pulled his tee on over her head and Steve arched a brow as she then picked up the shredded remains of her Lycra leggings. 

“You ripped em,” she shrugged.

Steve snorted as he too stood, pulling at the front of his pants a little before he grabbed Katie’s towel and water bottle. He then held out his hand for her to take.

“C’mon, Doll.”

With a smile she took it and let him lead her from the gym.

pt 2!! (pt 1)

tatoue moi: i feel like the lighting matches the tone of the song a bit less here, but there are a lot of effects i love--

this is one of my favorite lighting moments in the show tbh

i love the rainy lighting so so so much-- especially the dotted lights

also i'm a big fan of the red & blue at the end of this scene it's so dramatic. and speaking of dramatic!!!

le procession: the lighting here is so complex but the scene itself is so rich in musical and physical detail that the lights to me felt like they actually stood out less, despite being more eye-catching than they usually are? i love the projections on the floor and the screen, though:

i love love love this moment at the very end though. this sheer curtain is so cool and i love every time it shows up-

je dors sur les roses: ok confession time. i made this post just to talk about the lighting in this song it is my favorite thing in the entire world oh my god.

this moment might have changed my life for real. the fade from red to white !! the fade-in of the circle on the stage !! and then. and then. the roses. i'm so normal about these roses

so so so so so so normal!!! just a few of my favorite moments:

especially these two moments. at the beginning of the dramatic musical interlude-- the roses zero in, and mozart is lit in red:

and just as he starts singing again, they fan out again, and he's lit in white

and at the end of the song. once again, i think you could frame this:

this is probably my favorite lighting in the show. they could have just projected a couple of roses on the stage, lit mozart in white, lit the dancer in red, and just left it there, and it still would have worked well with the song. but the lights shift and change, expand and contract, while still never wavering from that first striking image, and in return, as always, the song has so much more emotional strength. in this song, with its minimal staging, the lighting makes so much of the difference between watching it and just hearing the music, which i think is a lot of what lighting sets out to achieve.

comedie tragedie: i think what this song's lighting really excels at is stark contrast between all the different people on stage-- mozart, the clown, colloredo, constanze and the singer woman (i do not know her name i'm so so sorry), and everyone else on stage are all lit starkly differently, that sheer curtain that i'm obsessed with is back, it's maybe not the most visually beautiful lighting, but it definitely fits with this song's absurdism:

place je passe: the Ultimate Cotton Candy Mozart Moment i love it so much

like. this is what i mean when i say that this musical fluctuates rapidly between very deeply 2009 and very deeply baroque and still manages to get them both right and looks great doing it

this lighting is so so iconic. you can't think of place je passe without it it perfectly captures its energy and also adds its own twist that you don't really get from the music alone. no notes

also the transition out of the song highlights just how much the set is a canvas for the lights. like in the span of barely a second, the whole stage changes colors so completely. who is to say magic isn't real

i am out of images again, see you in pt 3:

[laughterisorange]

Commission from @zerozeromilktea , thank you for your patience!! I’m sorry for the wait, but here is that fic you wanted with Crutchie getting some well deserved t-words!!!

Enjoy!!

Fic size: Tangerine

Description: Jack is feeling uninspired, and Crutchie is here to help… maybe at his own downfall.

INSPIRED

Jack stared angrily at the stark white canvas in front of him. How hard was it to start a new art piece?! Apparently very hard. He sighed hotly, his head falling onto his pulled in knees.

He had come to Medda’s hoping to get something done. She needed a new background, and he was happy to keep working for her. And yet he’d been here for almost the whole morning with nothing to show for it. The evening paper was gonna be coming out soon!

Ever since taking the new job Pulitzer had offered, Jack had been more swamped for time. He spent less of his time selling papes, more time drawing for them. And he wasn’t complaining, oh no!! He was enjoying his new job, despite interacting much more with Katherine’s father (HER FAWTHER). But to go from his job drawing for the paper, to painting at Medda’s…it was a lot. And after staring at the blank canvas for several hours, so much that he could almost see the grains of it, he was beginning to wonder if the extra art was sucking him dry.

Jack lifted his head, clambering back on his knees with a wet brush poised to paint. This had never happened before. Usually, he was bursting with creativity! But since he no longer dreamt of Santa Fe, drawing it again just… didn’t hold the same feelings it used to. But without that to draw… he couldn’t even bring himself to start. He groaned in frustration.

“Jack? You in here?”

Jack sighed, his hand still raised and his now dripping brush unused. “Yeah, Crutch, I’m in here.”

Crutchie came around the corner grinning. “You ready to go for lunch?”

Jack looked at him, and then back at his blank canvas. Crutchie followed his gaze, and his brows furrowed in confusion.

“Haven’t you been here all morning?”

Jack sighed. “Yes, Crutchie, I have - and I don’t know what’s wrong!” He gestured at the canvas. “I just - I can’t seem to -“

“Picture anything?”

Yeah.”

“Jackie. It doesn’t have to be a work of art -“

“Medda is counting on me, and I’m drawing a complete blank! Pun intended! I want it to be good - “

“And that’s the problem.” Crutchie looked at him fondly, before delicately sitting beside him. He picked up the discarded brush. He dipped it into one of the paint cans, a deep blue coating it. “Jack, you ya self have told me that sometimes you just gotta start. Even if you don’t like it, or you’s scared-“

“I’s not scared - !”

Crutchie fixed him with a pointed look, pushing the brush into his hands. “- but you gotta start it. That’s the only way you’re getting out of this funk.”

“Crutchie, you don’t understand - I can’t just start right now, with no plan or inspiration -“

“And that’s where I come in.”

Crutchie gave no further warning before skittering his hands along Jacks side. Jack flailed with a choked gasp, paint flying from the brush to the clean white canvas. A small blue blob now dripped across the white.

“Crutchie!”

Crutchie grinned mischievously, continuing his assault of Jack’s sides. Jack yelped, moving forward where his brush squished against the canvas again. “S-s-stop Crutchie plehehease! Y-your gonna mess, AH! Mess me uhuhup!”

“I ain’t messing up something that’s not there!” Crutchie sing-songed.

Cheeky kid!

Jack suddenly regained some strength, grabbing Crutchie and pulling him into his lap. Mischievous smile now gone, Crutchie sputtered as Jack attacked his stomach.

“Jahahahack nohoho!”

“JaHAHACK yes!” Jack mocked, reaching to squeeze at Crutchie’s knees ruthlessly. “This is whatcha get for being cheeky, and this,” he scrabbled under Crutchie’s arms, “is for gettin paint on my canvas!”

“AHAHAHAH NO No GAH Y-YOU WoULDn’t STaHAHart!!”

“But now it’s ruined,” Jack said in mock seriousness, frowning as he moved to trace at Crutchie’s neck. “Where on earth am I gonna find a new canvas???”

Crutchie scrunched up adorably. “Ahahaha I don’t knohohohow! Pleheheease Jahahahck!”

Jacked hummed smirking down at Crutchie, who was much too busy laughing to notice the look of endearment on his brother’s face.

Jack felt a pang of sadness. After the time Crutchie has had since the refuge… well, Jack thinks, he deserves to let loose and laugh a little. It’s been clear to him, and the other news boys, that Crutchie is anything but fine, but he isn’t about to force him to talk about it. Crutchie will come to Jack when he wants to. But… reminding his brother he’s there for him? Jack can do that.

He’s pulled from his thoughts by something running along his own neck.

“GAH!” He grabs Crutchie’s hand, which is clutching one of his paintbrushes - a clean one, thank goodness. Although…

Jack grins. “Shouldn’t a’ done that Crutch.”

Crutchie gulps trying to scoot away, “no no wait Jack I’m sorry I’m sOHhahaHAHAHARRYYY!”

Bright giggles are pulled from Crutchie’s lips as Jack holds onto him with one arm, and begins swirling the brush against Crutchie’s neck and ears.

“I think I’s found a clean canvas Crutchie, and ya know what? I’m feelin’ inspired again…” Jack dips the brush down to Crutchies stomach, where his shirt has ridden up from all his squirming. He begins swirling it around on Crutchie’s stomach, Crutchie wiggling more as his laughter increases.

“NoHoHOHOHO NAhAhahaAT ThEreAhahah eahahaheaee!”

“Not where? Not here?” Jack punctuates his words with pokes from the brush. “My otha’ canvas’s don’t move nearly this much, but I’m sure I cans still make a pretty paintin’! And I know just where the sun should go!”

With that, Jack launches his final attack with the brush, swirling it around Crutchie’s belly button, before dipping it in and wiggling. The reaction is immediate.

“AIEHhheheHAHAHA nAhaHAHAHAH STAHAHA- AHAHAH PLEAHEHEHE”

Jack laughs along with him, and finally slows the brush down to a stop, putting it to the side before scooping Crutchie into his arms. “You okay, giggles?”

“Yehehehes, your s-such a mehehenie.”

Jack poked him once. “Don’t make me go for round two.”

Crutchie jerked away grinning, “okahahay okay, jeez.” Crutchie looked around, suddenly sheepish. “We uh, made kinda a mess didn’t we?”

That was an understatement. There were paint cans knocked over, and part of the actual canvas was now covered in the dark blue. But…

Jack looked at the blue for a moment, before his eyes lit up. He stood up, moving a few of the cans over and sat next to the canvas, mumbling ideas as he began to paint.

Crutchie grinned, standing and brushing himself off. He waited a moment, before chuckling to himself. “I’ll bring ya back a sandwich.”

Jack hummed in agreement, but made no move to turn around. He was an artist at work again, after all.

***

Days later, the two stood, discarded sandwich wrappers of the day behind them. Crutchie turned to Jack with a smile.

“Told ya - ya just needed to start,” he said cheekily.

“Shuddap,” Jack said, blushing a bit at the memory of days prior. He then wrapped an arm around Crutchie pulling him close.

“It really does look like the penthouse,” Crutchie said.

Jack turned to the canvas, the only white now the stars that dotted a navy sky, along with a blackened fire escape and the top of the brick building he called home. And on the roof, the silhouette of two boys sitting side by side.

“Yeah,” he said, “it really does.”

[qu1etwolf]

I took that little stray thought from the other night and wrote a small story because I needed some fluff. So without further adieu and probably eith a million mistakes (just ignore them, pleeease) I give you —

Hands

Bucky makes a point to never touch anything with his prosthetic. Until now.

Warnings- Just heaps of fluff, needy Alpine (she's her own warning), a little bit of triggered ptsd

Word count - 1263

You and Bucky have known each other for a handful of years. He refused Stark's offer to move into the giant tower in the middle of Manhattan with several of the rest of the Avengers and opted for a quieter life in a small run down apartment in Brooklyn. He gave up having a staff and a continuously stocked kitchen for crying children down the hall, a sometimes faulty heating system, and windows that rattled any time a storm blew through.

It made perfect sense to you. He seemed much calmer and much more at home among the residents of your small apartment complex. Bucky had been trapped and forced to be in close proximity with people who made him uncomfortable for nearly his entire extended lifespan. He wanted to make the choice to live where he wanted, in a mostly quiet little one bedroom on the same street where he grew up. It was home.

Alpine lets out a loud meow at you as you crack open his apartment door without knocking. You have a pie from the bakery down the street in a canvas bag in your hands filled with plums - his favorite. You were just going to leave it on the edge of his counter and sneak back out as if you were never there.

It had become a game between the two of you. You would pick up a pie, a new toy for Alpine, a small bag of snacks, or something similar on your way home from work and see if you could get past his extensive super senses by making it back out without him noticing. Bucky did the same after missions. You would wake up to leftovers in your fridge that hadn't been there before, a small note to let you know he was home safe, a bowl of fruit on your table. He always won. You never knew he had been there.

Alpine paws at your foot and yowls. You reach down and scritch her on top of her little white fluffy head and shush her.

There is hardly a noise before something solid and cold grabs you by the wrist. The pie hits the floor and your chest hits the wall faster than you can blink.

The adrenaline recedes quickly as you process what had just happened, you gather the bag from the floor with a hopefully not ruined pie inside before you carefully ease yourself around the wall of the apartment toward the kitchen. You make a solid effort to move slowly but deliberately toward the countertop.

Just as quickly, you are free and the large frame of the occupant of the apartment is scrambling backwards and apologizing profusely, his eyes cast down at your feet. "Oh god, did I hurt you?" came tumbling out of his mouth as he gawks at the shiny metal that is his hand as if it was forgien and didn't actually belong there. It is the first time he has actually touched you without gloves with his left hand. He always avoided touching anyone, even Alpine, with the titanium limb. 

"Hey, Buck. It's okay. I'm not hurt. You just get home? I didn't realize you were gone."

He nods quietly as he continues to stare at his hand.

"Rough mission?"

"Very," he coughs out as his voice cracks. 

"If I'd of known, I'd of just saved this for tomorrow and let you rest." You pull the aluminum pie tin out of the bag and wince a little as pieces of the crust stick to the cardboard when you uncover it. The smell of fresh baked dough and plums immediately fills the apartment. "It's still warm. Sorry it got a little banged up."

A soft practiced smile spreads across his face as his attention finally snaps away from the metal. "Is that what I think it is? From Lucas' place down on the corner?"

"Yep. They were on sale. A catering gig got canceled and he had too many. Who would of thought?"

You place two crumbling pieces on a pair of plates before sitting them down gently.

He slowly moves from where he had been standing to one of the stools on the opposite side of the counter. He runs his right hand through his hair, still clearly very shaken. 

"Buck, it's okay. You had a rough one. I know how your brain gets. Breathe." You reach down and take his metal hand in yours in an attempt to ease his guilt. Bucky scrambles backwards off of the stool, almost landing square on his ass on the floor.

You lift your hands, palm out, in front of you quickly as an apology before rushing to help him up. He shrinks back away from you.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I'm going to give you some space to breathe. I will be literally just across the hall, okay? The second you need me, just knock. Save me a piece of that, would ya?" You gesture at the pie still sitting untouched in the kitchen. "You get some rest. Movie night tomorrow? I'll order pizza. I promise to save Alp my pepperonis."

Bucky smiles weakly at you and nods, curling in on himself. "That sounds good, doll. Im — I'm sorry, this one messed me up. I'll knock if I need you. I promise."

The knock came at your door three days later. You hadn't heard a peep out of him all week. It's rare that it takes him that long to get his head on straight, but sometimes it happens. You open the door to a broad chest that nearly fills the frame. A plastic container is in his hands. His eyes are still a little wild, wide and darting around the room.

"Hi. I, uh, brought you leftover pie," a soft smile plays across his lips sheepishly. "Sorry it took me a couple days."

You pull the container from his grasp and stash it away in the fridge as he walks in, the little white fluff ball on his heels. Alpine never leaves her daddy's side when he's having a rough go of it. She would have just annoyed the entire hall if he had left her across the hallway.

You pull the promised bag of pepperoni out of the fridge before you close the door and feed her one for being such a good girl. 

You watch in slight shock as Bucky tugs his gloves off and drops them onto the chair beside the door. Letting out a small measured breath he says quietly, "Baby steps. My therapist keeps telling me baby steps."

He walks further into the apartment as if it's just an extension of his own and wraps his arms around you tightly in an almost desperate hug. You feel as if you are anchoring him to the floor. His chest heaves in a long sigh as you stand there for a moment just wrapped in the solid warmth of his body.

Bucky is the first to back away. The sudden lack of body heat makes you frown slightly.

He smiles and cups your cheek with his calloused right hand before extremely slowly and carefully placing his left hand against the other side of your face. You can barely feel it. The touch is feather light. You lean your cheek into the metal palm and grin wide at him.

You feel his soft lips press against your forehead and he murmurs "baby steps…" against your skin.

He takes a step backward, shakes himself gently and gives you a toothy smile. "Still up for that movie night, doll? Alpine wanted me to ask."

[goodlucktai]

Idk if your taking OP prompts or not but I thought you would enjoy this thought either way:

What if….Luffy kept the ASL (from the tree house maybe) with him when he set sail as reminder of his brother and their dreams and pulls it when he misses his brothers (happens a lot more frequently after Ace died) and what if someone from the crew finds it and asks him about it (maybe pre-alive!Sabo) and they learn about Sabo and the fact that Luffy mourned two brothers in his life.

🔥🎩👒🏴‍☠️

Sunny is generally much too sturdy to take damage from any run-of-the-mill naval battle, but that’s not to say she doesn’t sail away with some torn sails and splintered railing at times.  

So Usopp is touching up the paint on the stairs that lead to the quarterdeck when Luffy comes wandering over, clearly curious about what has his fishing buddy tied up.

“Ah-ah, off the canvas!” Usopp says at once, pointing his brush at him. “You track paint everywhere and Nami will kill us both!”

Luffy pouts but tellingly stops in his tracks. Where he’s reclined in the grass nearby for his late-afternoon nap, Zoro snorts. The woman herself, sharing the newspaper with Robin, gives him an arch look and doesn’t deny a thing. 

“But Usopp’s been busy all day,” Luffy grumbles. He crouches to start poking at Usopp’s supplies, his magpie-like curiosity unable to leave anything unbothered, even during a sulk.

And really, Usopp thinks wryly, if the world knew that this is what the captain of the Straw Hats was actually like. 

“Sorry, Lu, but I’m almost done. I just wanted to get Sunny squared away ASAP.” He pats a dry bit of railing, hoping the ship can feel his fondness. “She deserves the best.”

Luffy brightens. “That’s true! Our nakama always come first.” But he’s still rooting around in Usopp’s stuff, and he makes a little ‘ohhh’ noise when he uncovers some of the unused paints. 

“Luffy, if you keep bothering him he’ll never get done,” Sanji says as he comes over, bearing a tray of drinks and snacks. He points firmly at Usopp, and then at a big glass of water filled with crushed ice and diced strawberries. “Hydrate. Electrolytes. Or I’ll tattle on you to Chopper.”

“You really don’t have to threaten me with fruit water every time I work for longer than one hour in the sun,” Usopp tells him.

“Yes he does!” Chopper calls happily from his spot on the swing. 

Usopp glances back at Luffy, and finds that in the thirty seconds he’s been unsupervised, he’s pried the lids off of three of the smaller paint tins. The look on his face is outright gleeful. 

“Look! Red, blue and yellow, and they were all sitting together!” He rocks back and forth on his heels, glancing up at the rest of them. The short-sleeve shirt he’s wearing is coral pink and baby blue, patterned with little lambs and lions, and unbuttoned down the front so that Luffy’s massive battle scar is on prominent display. It’s a stark reminder that Usopp’s bright, childish best friend is also a wanted man worth four hundred million berries. “It reminds me of my first pirate flag!”

“That monstrosity you painted when we first got the Merry-Go?” Nami asks. “There wasn’t any blue in that flag.”

Luffy shakes his head, still smiling. “Nope, before that! Way before! I’ll show you.”

With a pilfered brush, he sits cross-legged in the grass, and starts to draw on the corner of the canvas. Usopp comes down the stairs to see better, and everyone else on deck gets up to venture closer, too. Even Zoro seems interested, when Usopp would have guessed that nothing short of a cask of rum would have gotten him up from his nap. 

The design is so simple that even someone of Luffy’s limited talent can’t really mess it up. It’s just three letters: A S L. 

“There’s supposed to be a crossbones, too, but I don’t have any white paint,” Luffy says cheerfully. “Ahhh, this really takes me back!”

“This was your flag, Luffy?” Chopper asks, planting his hooves on one of Luffy’s knees and leaning over his lap to study it like a little scholar. “What does it mean?”

Usopp thinks he’s braced for anything—he’s waiting to hear a really stupid, wonderfully Luffy-esque acronym—but their captain does what their captain loves to do, and takes them all by complete surprise.

“When I was little, my brothers and I wanted to be pirates together,” he says. “This was going to be our flag. Ace even made one, and we flew it above our hideout!” 

Usopp sits down hard on a step. His heart is pounding so hard he can feel it in his throat and his ears. It’s abruptly impossible for him to look anyone else in the eye, but from the sudden stillness of their bodies, the way none of them say anything right away, he can guess his nakama are in the same boat.

Zoro is the first to speak up. “Would’ve thought you’d want red for your letter.”

“I did! Ace was so stingy.” 

“Who was this?” Nami asks softly, kneeling at Luffy’s side and pointing at the blue S nestled between Ace and Luffy’s initials. 

“Oh, Sabo!” Luffy’s smile widens. “He was the best. Ace always got so mad at me all the time, but Sabo never did. He was strong, too! I never beat him when we sparred, not even once.”

It’s like hearing him talk about Ace in Alabasta, Usopp thinks, but the past-tense is telling. Chopper’s eyes get all watery, and the reindeer clambers into Luffy’s lap, tugging at the arms that have leveled kingdoms and pummeled emperors until they’re wrapped around him in a hug. 

Luffy laughs and plants his chin on the top of Chopper’s hat. He’s always been as tactile as he is strange, like a friendly feral cat. He and Chopper have an innate understanding of each other the way he and Zoro do, if on a lesser scale. 

Robin, meanwhile, has gone a shade paler. “His name was Sabo? Could you tell us about him?”

“Mm,” Luffy agrees. And he tells them about a proud, kind boy from a cruel, selfish family of nobles, a boy who was constantly running away to join his best friends in the jungle and the junkyard where they made their home together. He tells it with a maturity only granted in hindsight, but the details are clearly pulled from a child’s memory.

He paints them a vivid picture of three boys thrown together by circumstances who chose to keep each other. His voice is bright as he describes the sake ceremony, their plans of going out to sea together, all their huge, impossible dreams. 

If this conversation is digging at old wounds, it’s impossible to tell. He looks perfectly happy to share the story, surrounded by his favorite people and the bright summer sunshine, all of them cradled safely at home in the sea. 

“Sabo went ahead of us,” Luffy tells them. “He finally escaped from his family and he left us a letter, promising to meet us again. But his boat got in the way of a Celestial Dragon’s ship, and so they blew it apart. He died before he could be free. That’s why Ace and I decided to live without regrets. That’s why I have to be Pirate King no matter what. I’ll be freer than anybody, for Sabo—and for Ace, too.”

Robin stands up so abruptly that Nami and Brook, on either side of her, both jump. She smooths out her sundress, a nervous flick of her hands that seems out of character, and says, “I need to make a call. Would you excuse me, captain?”

“Huh? Sure, Robin,” Luffy leans back to look at her upside-down, frowning. “You okay?”

Her eyes are a storm of panic and confusion and tenderness and urgency, but her face gentles the way it only does for her nakama. An arm blooms out of the grass beneath his head, stretching out its hand to curl its fingers into his hair, and then tugging with enough force to send him sprawling backwards.

It elicits an oof, and then a peal of laughter. Chopper, from where he’s still trapped against Luffy’s chest, starts laughing, too. Robin sweeps away to the aquarium bar where their Den-Den usually lives, and closes the door neatly behind her. 

“Wonder what that was all about,” Nami murmurs, watching her go.

“Dunno, but it must be important. She’ll tell us when it matters,” Luffy says with perfect confidence, and no one can argue that. 

There’s a slightly more fragile air around them now, even though Luffy seems determined not to notice it. He rolls over onto his stomach, squishing Chopper, and then rolls over again so that he’s flat on his back once more, right next to Zoro this time. He starts talking his first mate’s ear off about the giant crocodiles he used to hunt with his brothers. Brook settles in with them, copying Luffy’s starfish position. Usopp looks up at Nami in time to see her dash some tears away. 

“Well,” she says, then has to clear her throat. “Well. That’s one worthy legacy. His brothers left him a big responsibility.”

“No better hands than his to leave it in,” Sanji mutters, holding the sides of his tray in a white-knuckled grip. 

Usopp nods slowly, thinking of three little boys tearing through the wilderness, raising each other and building a life out of scraps, never learning how to slow down or dream smaller, finding something on that tiny island that some people search for their whole lives.

But he’s also thinking of that day in Alabasta, and the only thing Ace ever asked of them. The same thing Sabo had asked of Ace, all those years ago. A passing of the torch. 

“They left us a job, too,” he says. “An important one.”

Sanji and Nami seem to understand right away. Nami’s mouth firms, and Sanji dips his head in a nod.

Take care of him for me. 

“Hey, Franky,” Usopp says sometime later, wheeling his cart of painting supplies back into the workshop. When the shipwright glances up from his welding, Usopp tosses him the folded up piece of canvas he’d cut away from the rest of the sheet. “I wanna do something with this design. Hang it up somewhere. What do you think?”

Franky shakes the canvas loose, and a smile darts across his face at what is obviously their captain’s clumsy, enthusiastic handiwork. Franky missed that whole illuminating conversation Usopp and the others had earlier, but he clears his work desk anyway, and spreads the makeshift ASL flag out properly. If it’s important to Luffy and to Usopp, that’s enough to make it important to him, too. 

“Walk me through it,” he says. 

The very next day, a framed fabric print hangs in place of pride in the dining hall. Smaller than the huge flag that Sunny is flying, but still big enough to take up most of the wall between the pantry and galley doors. Luffy lights up when he sees it, and literally throws himself at Franky and Usopp in a full-body slam that nearly takes out the ladder to the quarterdeck. 

His hug wraps around them three times, and he says, “I never thought our flag would really get to sail! Thank you!” which makes Franky start crying and the close-call with the ladder is forgotten about completely.

Two days after that, Robin sits them all down at the table, takes one of Luffy’s hands in both of hers, and says they should expect to have company very soon.

It was our senior trip just before we all graduated and went off to college, a few days ago we boarded a plane and wounded up in a rotten hotel in Italy.

Luckily, we were able to get a refund and since I have plugs with many people all over the world because of my late father’s last name, I was able to get the senior class a much better hotel in France.

For the first few days, all the seniors did tourist stuff like take pics and try the new foods. We were able to roam around with each other.

It was now the last night of the two week trip and Peter, MJ, Ned, Betty, and Flash decided that we all should have a nice dinner.

I was able to book us a reservation at the Monsieur Bleu.

Once I told the group what time we were going we all decided to get all dressed up. My roommate for the trip is MJ since there were still teacher chaperones, but MJ is one of my best friends so of course I didn’t mind. Peter and Ned stayed in a room a few down the hall from us. Flash stayed with that annoying kid Remy that grew so much during the blip, and Betty stayed with Zoha.

Peter of course wasn’t mad that we can’t stay in a room together, lord if we did have a room together I don’t think we would ever leave.

MJ and I started to get ready, I lended her a dress since she didn’t bring any. I got to fix her hair, it was almost a similar hair style to mine so she just told me she’ll do it herself.

I was finally done with fixing up MJ so now it was my turn. I bought this gorgeous dress at a boutique in the city, it was a perfect summer dress.

It had this gorgeous red fabric with small flowers on it, the neckline was a sweetheart cut with the edges ruffled. The straps on the shoulders matched the rest of the dress, ruffled too.

It was just stunning. I put it on and checked myself in the mirror. It showed all the right parts, and hugged all the right parts.

The end of the dress was way above my knee, it was short but very cute.

I paired it with some straw platform sandals and some of my favorite jewelry.

“Peter is going to freak when he sees you in that.” MJ widened her eyes from the bed as she predicts my boyfriends reaction.

“Why? Is it bad? Too showy? I should change.”

“No y/n, you look fine. I meant that he was going to freak in a good way.” She chuckled, getting up from the bed so we can put on our shoes and grab our things to go.

We all decided to meet in the main lobby of the hotel at 6pm sharp. MJ and I went down to the lobby with all of our stuff, our canvas tote bags, sunglasses, and other essentials for the night.

We finally got out of the elevator, and went looking for the group.

We finally found them, and wow Peter looked amazing.

He was wearing a white button up and black pants that accentuated his toned body. He recently has been training a lot at the compound so he has gained a lot of muscle.

The sleeves seemed a tad bit tight on him because of how big he got, and just those abs. I wanted to strip him down right there and then.

“W-Wow, you look amazing bubby” Peter held me out by my waist to see everything, giving me a twirl and all.

“And you bubs, look fine as fuck.” I kissed him right under his earlobe as his cheeks began to flush.

“You are heavenly.” he kissed my cheek repeatedly.

“Enough you love birds. I want to eat!” Flash interrupted with his loud voice and a clap of his hands.

We all giggled and went to the bikes that the hotel provided. We hopped on our individual bikes headed towards the restaurant.

The breeze against our skin as the late sun was beginning to set. The orange tint in the sky was beamed on us.

We finally arrived at the building, we locked up our bikes and headed on into the tall building so we can go to the rooftop for our reservation.

We got seated out on the patio, with an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. The structures lights were being turned on for the night.

We all sat at one table, Peter next to me and MJ on the other side of me. Ned, Betty, and Flash sat across from us.

We were taking our pictures, selfies, and Snapchat videos of our view of Paris. Peter had us send pictures of to May and Happy, while I was sending pictures to my mum and Morgan.

The view was gorgeous, our seats, my friends looked amazing, and my boyfriend is fucking hot. Everything was perfect for this dinner.

“Bonjour beauté [Hello beauty]” A man said from the table behind us as we looked at the menu.

I turned to see the man, and he seemed very nice. Looked a little older than us, but good looking.

“Oh um, Hi. Bonjour.” I scrambled out, hopefully saying the right words.

“Ah. You are from America? Oui?” The man asked me as my friends and Peter were talking amongst themselves.

“Yes, our senior trip.” I nodded.

“Tu es une très jolie fille [you are a very beautiful girl]” the stranger grumbled.

“I- Um. I think you’re saying I’m pretty?” I felt Peter shift next to me, I was now able to tell that he was listening in on the conversations. “Thank you.”

“parle-moi de toi, jolie fille [tell me about yourself, pretty girl]” The man lightly dragged a finger down my arm.

“Peter. I think that random French man I hitting on you girlfriend.” I heard Ned whisper loudly.

“Peen Parker can’t stop his own girlfriend from getting flirted with!” Flashed laughed. I knew Peter was going to get jealous.

“Oh umm. How do I say this? J’ai dix-huit ans [I am eighteen]. Umm. Je veux être un Engineering Technician [I want to be a Engineering Technician].” I answered the stranger. It seemed like he was sitting with his friends.

“Hey the waiter is here.” MJ told me, I smiled to the guy and turned back to the table to order my food.

Everyone seemed awkward, like they were trying to hide something and I knew what it was. Peter on the other hand was stiff in his seat, his face was a little red, and the vein on his neck became prominent.

“Hey do you want anything to drink?” I nudged Peter.

“Hmm?” he hummed.

“I was asking if you want anything to drink.” I repeated myself.

“Anything.” he said blankly, just tearing small pieces of the table bread and plopping it into his mouth.

I turned to the waiter. “Umm and nous aurons une bouteille de ummm— Ah Louis Roederer Cristal please. [Umm and we will have a bottle of ummm— Ah Louis Roederer Cristal please.]” I said with a smile, handing the waiter the wine menu.

“Ooo wine, I like your taste” Betty outed as she was attached to Neds arm.

“Hey, I don’t want you to pay for all of this. I’ll chip in.” MJ said with a soft smile from next to me.

“No MJ it’s alright, I got it. You guys can order as much as you want.” I told the table, they gave me wide smiles as Peter sat their quietly.

“Cristal est cher, joli. Êtes-vous sûr que vos amis peuvent se le permettre? [Cristal is expensive, pretty one. Are you sure your friends can afford that?]” The french stranger said from behind me.

“I’m paying for the whole thing.” I said with a smile to the stranger.

“Ah, you are wealthy” He nodded his head.

“I guess you can say I am.” I chuckled.

I heard the waiter set down the wine with 6 glasses onto the table. I turned around and they were already pouring themselves some of the cristal.

We each held our wine glasses.

“Cheers!” we clinked out glasses all together at the center of the table, the white wine sloshing around the glass. We brought the glass to our lips, taking a small sip to taste.

“Oh this is amazing! Everyone say ‘thank you y/n Stark’! ” Flash exclaimed as he was talking videos for his Instagram.

“This is one of the best wines i’ve ever had. The worst being the communion wine from church.” we all chuckled at MJ’s joke.

“Do you like it?” I pushed my elbow into Peter’s side.

“Yeah.” He dryly said, he quickly engaged in the conversation that Ned and Betty were having. “

“So you are Stark?” the stranger behind me asked.

“Well yes. I am the daughter of Tony Stark. What’s your name?” I chuckled as I sipped my wine.

“Antoine. Your name is pretty y/n.” He said, his fingers drumming on my forearm.

“It’s really not that pretty, but thank you Antoine.” I heard MJ whisper something to Peter about him touching me.

I nodded but then soon turned around back to my table as I heard the waiter was handing out our dishes.

The group took our photos of the food as we saw the fireworks go off from the Eiffel Tower. We quickly began to eat the small proportion of our food.

“Mmmm very small but amazing” I said as I was indulging the flavors and textures.

“That’s what she’s said” Ned and Flash said in sync, earning a laugh from the rest of us.

“Do you like your food?” I ask Peter who seemed to stare off into the sky a lot.

“Yeah, It’s good.” He clenched his jaw.

We all talked together as we finished the bottle of cristal and our food. It was getting late and we had to ride our bikes back to the hotel so we began to pack up.

“Miss Stark?” Antoine asked.

“Yes?” I hummed at I stood up from my chair.

“Puis-je avoir votre numéro? [May I have your number?]” the man asked with a nervous chuckle.

“Garçon stupide, parlant à mon. [stupid boy, talking to my y/n.]” Peter mumbled under his breath.

I stared at him with wide eyes, and my mouth open wide, I was unable to say anything.

“Qu'est-ce que tu m'as dit, petit garçon? [What did you say to me, little boy?]” Antoine asked.

“Elle est à moi, pas à toi. [she’s mine, not yours.]” Peter said sternly.

“Tu ne peux pas la poss��der, ce n'est pas un chien. [You can’t own her, she’s not a dog.]” Antoine scoffed.

“nous avons terminé maintenant. Je vous suggère d'arrêter de flirter avec ma copine. [we are done now. I suggest you stop flirting with my girlfriend.]” Peter said from next to me, his hand gripping my wrist tightly.

Peter’s other hand was balled into a fist, his veins popping out more. His jaw was clenched, and his muscles were tense.

“Petite amie? c'est surprenant. [girlfriend? that’s surprising.]” Antoine laughed.

The group quickly left along with Peter and I. He kept his grip on my wrist, basically pulling me out of the restaurant and into the elevator.

The elevator was awkward, not silent at all since the others were trying to make some conversation so the air wasn’t so tense.

We got to our bikes and immediately started biking back to the hotel.

Once we arrived at the hotel, Peter was basically pulling me to the room. Ned followed us but Peter closed the door on his best friend.

“I- I’ll just be with Betty!” Ned said from the other side of the door.

Silence rung in the bedroom for a few minutes. I stood there playing with the bottom of my dress as Peter sat on a chair with his elbows on his knees, and his fingers rubbing at his temples.

“What’s wrong Peter?” I asked him calmly.

“You know what’s wrong, y/n.”

“I don’t understand.” I said as I took a step towards him.

“Don’t fucking play dumb.” He rolled his tongue against the side of his cheek.

“I’m not playing du—“ He stood up from his seat, his hand quickly grasping my neck. He walked me backward until my back hit against the wall.

“Fucking slut.” he spat his saliva right onto my collarbone, it dropped down to the tops of my breasts. “Want Antoine? Go ahead.”

“Peter we should tal—“

“I’m fucking tired of people trying to get with my y/n.” he grumbled into my ear. “Nobody gets to talk to my y/n.”

The use of ‘my’ could make cum right there and then.

His lips assaulted the tops of my breasts, licking up his dripping saliva and leaving bruises. I whimpered at his lips and tongue touching me, my pussy aching and pooling in my panties.

“You think you can just open you legs for random guys?” his tightened his grip on my throat.

“O-Only for you.” I was able to say.

“Only for me huh?” He pulls me away from the wall and slamming my back into the couch. He swiftly takes off his shirt, and standing in between my knees.

He pulls down my dress strap and the top of my dress, revealing my bare chest. His head dodges down to my nipple, tongue twirling, lips sucking.

My back aches against him, giving him more access to my mounds. As he was sucking on one, his fingers were pinching and fiddling with my other nipple. Pinching, flicking, and switching to the other to give it the same attention.

“Peter!” I grinded my hips upwards, trying to get friction onto my clit from his bare chest. I was a moaning mess.

He turned his attention away from my mounds, he quickly began to take off my dress, leaving me in just my black thong.

His hands now pushing down my hips, keeping me away from any friction.

“Pete!” I moaned out as I was clenching around air.

“Needy ass whore.” he spat more of his saliva onto my stomach. “My whore.”

His tongue pressed onto the skin of my stomach, collecting his saliva back into his mouth. His face moved back up to me.

“Open.” he demanded.

I obeyed and opened my mouth, sticking out my tongue.

He spat his saliva onto my tongue, with a smile I closed my mouth and swallowed.

“That’s my girl.” he pressed his lips against mine. His tongue poking around and asking for an entrance.

I opened my mouth and our tongues explored each other’s mouths, twirling and sucking on each other.

He then began to slowly put his body weight onto me, with a thrust of my hips I was able to get some sort of relief.

As we made out, Peter snaked his hand between the two of us. His fingers reaching the cloth over my sensitive bud. He began to slowly rub circles onto it, my mouth opening at the sudden feel.

“Pete, I- I-“

“Finish your sentence bub, you got it.” he applied more pressure onto the bit.

“I- I need you.” I finally got out.

He stopped all of his movements, no more sloppy kisses, no more rubbing.

He removed his fingers away from my clit, lightly dragging them from my pubic bone, over my belly button, through the valley of my breast, up my neck and landing at my chin.

“Who do you belong to?��� he held my chin in place, making sure I keep eye contact with him.

“You.” I looked up at him with gleaming eyes, his pupils were blown with lust.

“That’s right. You are only mine.” he accentuated his possessive words.

I nodded with a whine.

He stood between my legs, unbuckling his belt and stripping down to just his boxers. I sat up, leaning onto my elbows to get a better view of my boyfriend.

He looked at me in the eyes, his brown hazel eyes weren’t looking anywhere else but my eyes. His fingers hooked onto his own boxers as he pulled them down.

My eyes headed straight for his hard dock that slapped against his lower stomach. My mouth began to water, my lace underwear began to pool once again from the view of the perfect average thick and veiny dick.

“Since you wanted to be a little fucking slut earlier, I’m gonna fuck my tight little pussy so good, you’re not going to be able to make the flight back home.” he chuckled as he began to stroke himself with his hand.

I began to get so desperate that one of my hands drifted over my underwear, putting pressure onto my clit and rubbing my slits.

“Did I fucking say to touch yourself?” His hand pounced onto my wrist, stopping my motions on my core. “Fucking brat.”

“Bub please.” I whined, tears welling up in my eyes.

“Please what bubs? I need words.” he said with his other hand holding my chin in place to look at him.

My thighs began to rub against each other, trying to relieve the sensitivity.

“Touch me Pete. Fuck. Just fucking touch me please.” I pleaded out as I closed my eyes in embarrassment at the amount of desperation.

“Anything for my girl.” He quickly ripped off my lace underwear, giving me marks from where it was pulled off from. “Now, are you wet because of me or because of that fucking man at the restaurant?”

“You. Just you bub.” I looked at him with a grin as he looked at me with his tongue rolling on the side of his cheek.

He pulled me from my hips to the edge of the bed and began stroking his length onto my slit, collecting my wetness as a lubricant. He began to line up his cock at the entrance of my core.

He looked at me with affirmation, with a nod of my head he began to slowly push the tip of him inch by inch.

Groans coming from the both of us as he stretches my pussy out with his thick length. Once he finally bottomed out, we stayed in the position for a few seconds before I gave the ‘okay’ that I have adjusted to his thickness.

Peter began to slowly move his hips away from me and snapping it into me. He began to pick up his speed, causing me moans to flow out of our mouths.

“You feel so good. Look at you, being fucked and you still look heavenly.” he hyped me with with every thrust of his hips, his hands on my breasts.

“Fuck. Fuck. Pete, oh god.” I moaned out a few times repeatedly from the amount of pleasure I was getting.

“Who’s fucking pussy is this?” he asked with beads of sweat forming on the both of us.

“Y-Yours.” I stuttered out.

“That’s fucking right. Your mine, and this fucking pussy is mine.” he pulled his hips all the way back, where his tip was barely in me before he quickly thrusted his dick back into my core.

“Fucking hell.” I arched my back and clenched down onto his cock.

“Cum for me bub. Cum on my dick.” He encouraged me as he peppered kisses onto my breasts and collar bones.

The knot in my stomach unraveled, sending shocks through my body. My legs shook and my view became white, my high was out of this world.

“Good baby.” He kissed my lips as he kept thrusting in and out of me, as for I was still coming down from my high.

“Cum in me bubby.” I mumbled into his lips as I pulled the hairs on the back of his head.

His thrusts became unsteady and I felt his dick twitch within me.

“Come on babe.” I encouraged him.

With a couple more snaps of his hips he was chasing his high, he emptied out his seed into my core. I felt it paint my walls, warm all around.

Once he was done he couldn’t keep himself up, causing him to drop onto me.

Our chests heaving up and down from our heavy breathing, our sweat and cum mix had us in a sticky mess.

“I’m gonna start flirting with random guys from now on to just get fucked this hard.” I said from under him.

“Don’t ever flirt with another guy.” Peter mumbled into my neck.

“I’ll think about it.” I chuckled at his comment, combing my fingers through his hair.
