#vent#vent post#cw negative#Sevenā€™s Public Diary#wish i wasnā€™t so fucking worthless and useless and stupid and selfish and mean#i am just so goddamn sick of my own bullshit. but i never change#iā€™m so tired of being weighed down by my 56492 mental illnesses. i donā€™t like being like this#my sleep schedule is so fucked up again and im tired of this constant cycle#this constant fight and endless effort to stay on a goddamn routine#all i want for christmas is a goddamn consistent sleep schedule#i hate sleeping through the day and being up all night but itā€™s like my body was fucking built for that or something#i donā€™t like it!! i want to be an early bird who goes to bed at 8pm and wakes up before the sun rises!!! but im the exact opposite!!!!!!!#i wish i just didnā€™t need to sleep at all. that would be the ideal. so many problems would be solved.#no i Really wish i just had the ability to fall asleep and wake up whenever i actually Want To instead of my body calling the shots#fell asleep at 9 this morning and im so mad that i didnā€™t get up when i was woken up at 11#a 2hr nap wouldā€™ve been fine and i wouldā€™ve made it through the rest of the day and been able to fucking sleep again tonight#but noOOooOoOo i had to give in to the allure of my warm cozy bed and fall back asleep for 9 more goddamn hours#now once again im too awake and rested to be able to go back to sleep. but once morning rolls around im gonna be exhausted again#and iā€™ll either give in and attempt to take a ā€˜napā€™ and itā€™ll turn into a 12hr sleep again#or iā€™ll have to like. walk laps around the fucking house just to keep myself awake through the day#and iā€™ll be super irritable as a result and make everyone around me miserable too#but everyone is already beyond fed up with my issues and behavior. rightly so i guess. so i lose either way#god there was so much stuff i was gonna/supposed to do today#i donā€™t know how much longer theyā€™re gonna put up with me being such a deadbeat#you think thatā€™d like. motivate me to get my shit together or something but no. iā€™m addicted to being unconscious i guess#sleep feels so fucking good. until i wake up. which is funny bc itā€™s all nightmares and stress dreams anyway. why do i even enjoy sleeping#i guess bc for the first few hours after waking up i experience some modicum of relief from my other mental illnessesā€™ symptoms#like a soft reset.#and itā€™s the Only thing that gets rid of my migraines so god forbid i get one of those bc then i Have to sleep regardless of the time of day#anyways! :) thatā€™s enough whining for one vent post. time to go do something productive

well now im 27 and im the perpetually exhausted mentor with bedhead and a slight alcohol problem to my 15 year old cousin and im gonna tear my hair out about not being able to just let her stay for a bit because i know it doesnt matter fuck all what i say to her dad, shes still gonna be treated like shit just because shes a moody teen with undiagnosed add and an autustic brother who constantly talks over everyone. i suddenly need a cigarette.
#like he was going on about shes doing bad in school because she sleeps late and all she needs to do#is got to bed early!!! reset her internal clock!!#BRO IM LITERALLY RIGHT HERE AT 27 STILL ONLY FALLING ASLEEP AT 5AM AND WAKING AT NOON BEVAUSE THATS NOT A THING YOU CAN CONTROL#ESPECIALLY WITH ADD/ADHD.#IM LITERALLY DIAGNOSED I CAN TELL YOU YOURE WRONG AND I CAN EVEN SOURCE THE ARTICLES THAT EXPLAIN WHY#FUCKING ARE YOU KIDDING ME#im still mad cause i sat with with poor kid while she tried to keep from bawling her eyes out because she made a snarky comment#about her brother talking about his coin collecting (and to be clean its not jus tthat he cant understand social cues he just literally#never stops making noise. we all know he cant control it but we also all know its because his parents denied he was autistic until he was 21#despite the fact he stopped maturing at 11. we love him.to death but oh my god i cant handle it for two visits a year#Of course his sibling feel like they live in an insane asylum)#like yeah it was a rude comment but fuck can you blame her?????? when shes silenced because he talks over everyone then gets awkward#because she has no idea what to say when she DOES get the chance to speak of course shes going to resent him#ALSO NOT TO MENTIONT HE FACT SHES CHINESE AND WERE ARE ALL VERY VERY WHITE#SHES GOT OTHER SHIT SHE SHOULD BE IN THERAPY FOR#DO NOT MAKE IT MORE COMPLICATED FOR HER BY BRINGING ACTUAL SYMPTOMS AND HER SCHOOLING INTO THIS#My god i hate academics like the world does not end because you failed a math class. i dropped out at 16 and all the useful skills i have#i gained after the world opened up when i left and i wasnt being told no thats not on a standardized test you cant do that#im much fucking happier and frankly intelligent than the rest of my family thats wasted time on universities#and like being happy is what matter#why would you wsnt her to be ā€œsucessfulā€ if she isnt also happy#like if school fucking sucks for her then why send her to a rich white private school and fucking SUMMER SCHOOL#imo thats just abuse#like the graded education system is inherently abusive anyway but its worse when its pushed on her like that#i need to move so we have room out east for her to come stay and maybe do some classes free of them#but i dont work and cant drive so i cant help her#hell i can barely take care of myself#but im just so fucking mad on her behalf and she doesnt deserve to feel this way#its happened twice in the three days shes been here#just they all need therapy but they need to fucking listen to her ans i know she wont even feel okay speaking up

ā˜† rich boy!niki x tutor!reader ; as Niki's grades keep considerably going down, you are being in charge of bringing them back to an average score, giving him private lessons at his house. Niki's stubbornness, though, and his constant dirty lines to flirt with you, do not help at all. so coming to an agreement together, you offer a little bit of you to every right answer he gets. it goes without saying now that by the end of the day, he would have mastered the subject just as much as your body.
OCTOBER 28 --- MAKNAE LINE' DRINKING GAME
ā˜† boyfriend!niki x girlfriend!reader x best friends!sunwon ; One too many drinks lead to the raise of unexpected secret fantasies, and that's how a birthday party for Jungwon turns into a dirty race, fighting for who to fill your holes next. and you would think your boyfriend Niki could never allow that, but the growing bulge in his pants when Sunoo is fucking you from behind, well, says something totally different.

ā˜† ambassador!sunsun x photographer!reader ; You always captured the models and the million-dollar products from afar. To be honest, you always wanted to try on some jewelry or something luxurious after being done with your work. Tonight you not just tried on the gems, you felt them as close as possible. Not to mention you got the chance to admire the streets of Tokyo from above with the help of the two ambassadors of Cartier taking turns behind your back.
OCTOBER 31 --- ENHYPEN' DARK MOON
ā˜† enhypen x reader ; Holding a halloween party on an abandoned island does not sound like the greatest idea at first, but it gets so much better when you get the best prizes for simply being there. as they wish to fulfill your dirty desires, enhypen organises a small game of hide and seek for you. but this one is a little different, as the prize for finding each and everyone is feeling them deep inside you, one by one, taking over your body and treating you just like the sex doll you wished to be. be careful, though, as there might be scary traps on the way to your reward (even though you can confirm that the only scary thing would be chocking on anything else other than their cocks)

ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
Saturday, December 5th; 11:00 AM - Ona and Alexiaā€™s Room
I gradually begin to emerge from my sleep. Iā€™m lying on my stomach and stretch without any restraint. I take the opportunity to grab my phone from my nightstand. I'm surprised when I see the time. Itā€™s the first time Iā€™ve slept until 11:00 AM at school.
ā€œThe groundhog is finally up.ā€
I groan in frustration at the sound of that voice. Sheā€™ll never leave me alone, will she? I thought Iā€™d at least have some peace on my Saturday morning. I donā€™t even want to know how long sheā€™s been here waiting for me. Bronze hasnā€™t left me alone since our visit to the doctor. I was so fed up that I insisted on returning to classes on Wednesday morning instead of Thursday just to get away from her. I was still slightly sick, and of course, my return didnā€™t go unnoticed in class. But at least Bronze allowed me to stay with them and start revising for my upcoming exams that day. It didnā€™t stop her from continuing to hover over me, though. I almost regret deciding to stay here this weekend. Especially since Joan would kill me if he knew I could go home. Two months ago, I would have been the first to run away from school. But this weekend is different. Bronze promised weā€™d go out to do our Christmas shopping. She seemed to like the idea when I suggested it, saying sheā€™d use the opportunity to buy her gifts too. I take the time to stretch again before rolling onto my back. Iā€™m surprised not to see her by my side as usual. I prop myself up on my elbows to look for her. I quickly spot her sitting on my desk, her feet swinging in the air.
ā€œCanā€™t you give me a break?ā€ I chuckle, letting myself fall back onto my pillow.
ā€œYouā€™re stuck with me, whether you like it or not,ā€ she teases.
ā€œEspecially this week,ā€ I sigh, closing my eyes again. ā€œHow long have you been here?ā€
ā€œI just got back about fifteen minutes ago.ā€
I place my hand over my eyes to shield myself from the light, taking a deep breath. Since yesterday, I can finally breathe through my nose again. Itā€™s pure bliss! Especially for Alexia, who wouldnā€™t stop complaining about my snoring. Iā€™m relieved that the medication is finally working. The doctor wasnā€™t so clueless after all. At least he knows how to do his job. Iā€™ve got a few days left on the antibiotics. If it were up to me, I would have stopped taking them yesterday, but Bronze insists that I finish them all to ensure Iā€™m fully recovered. I still cough a bit and occasionally have a hoarse voice, but otherwise, itā€™s all gone. In fact, Iā€™m coughing right now, like my life depends on it. Itā€™s a phlegmy cough, which according to Bronze, is a good sign.
ā€œIf you donā€™t hurry up and get ready, weā€™ll have to eat here.ā€
That sentence had the desired effect. In less than ten seconds, Iā€™m on my feet, not caring that Iā€™m only wearing an old T-shirt of my dadā€™s. If we stay here, sheā€™ll make me eat soup again. If not, I noticed thereā€™s cabbage on the menu for lunch, and I hate that. Better to eat out so I can finally have a proper meal. I grab some fresh clothes and then have to pass by Bronze to get to the bathroom. Unexpectedly, she blocks my way by putting her foot on the bar of my bed. I almost fell backward from the unexpected impact.
ā€œWhat now?ā€ I grumble.
ā€œOpen your mouth.ā€
I roll my eyes as I accept the spoonful of syrup. Iā€™ve stopped arguing with her since sheā€™s taken my medical care so seriously. I feel like a child, but it seems to make her happy. The upside is that Iā€™m healing quickly by letting her take care of me. Iā€™d never have taken this much syrup and nasal spray without her. She finally lets me pass, a silly smile on her lips. I donā€™t bother closing the bathroom door behind me since she canā€™t see me from where she is and I just need a quick freshening up since I showered last night. I get dressed, finish up with my hair, and check myself in the mirror one last time to make sure I havenā€™t forgotten anything. I return to the room, where Bronze still hasnā€™t moved. I must not have taken long thanks to my morning routine. She doesnā€™t notice me as sheā€™s absorbed in her phone.
ā€œIā€™m ready,ā€ I inform her.
ā€œYou get motivated so easily,ā€ she smiles, looking up.
ā€œI wasnā€™t going to say no when youā€™re finally letting me have a proper meal! I swear, if you offer me soup one more time, I donā€™t know what Iā€™ll do to you.ā€
She chuckles, jumping off my desk. We put on our jackets, and I grab my bag before following her outside. I understand why she wanted me to hurry when I see Engen at the front desk. She wanted to make sure we could leave without being noticed by anyone else. Bronze drives more carefully than usual due to the snow that hasnā€™t stopped falling for days. Itā€™s still snowing today, in fact. Itā€™s surprising to see the roads so clear with all this snowfall.
ā€œDoes it always snow this much here?ā€
ā€œIā€™d say so. Why?ā€
ā€œIt doesnā€™t snow at Barcelona.ā€
ā€œThat, I believe. It came late this year, but now I think itā€™s here to stay for a while.ā€
Everything is white, except for the road. I could get used to this scenery. There must be a good ten centimeters of snow. Iā€™m glad I brought my boots. Iā€™ll try to take the opportunity to look for a new jacket. At least I wonā€™t have to keep borrowing Bronzeā€™s, even though I really like it.
ā€œYouā€™re not used to this weather, are you?ā€
ā€œNo, not at all,ā€ I chuckle. ā€œIā€™m just not used to the cold.ā€
ā€œYou said you were from Portugal, right?ā€
ā€œYeah, why?ā€
ā€œWhere exactly?ā€
ā€œLisbon.ā€
ā€œPorto, for me.ā€
ā€œSo itā€™s true. Youā€™re from Portugal too?ā€
ā€œYes, of course,ā€ she smiles. ā€œWhen did you move to Barcelona?ā€
I tense up immediately. Bronze quickly apologizes, realizing sheā€™s crossed a line. I tell her itā€™s fine, even though it does affect me. This is where everything sort of started. I turn my head towards the window before beginning my explanation.
ā€œMy parents separated when I was ten. My mom received an offer from a Barcelona hospital that she couldnā€™t refuse. It was the perfect chance for a fresh start, especially since sheā€™s originally from there.ā€
ā€œI see. Didnā€™t you want to stay with your dad? You seem close to him.ā€
ā€œBelieve me, if it had been up to me, I would have stayed in Lisbon, but my dad was in the military. He couldnā€™t keep me with him.ā€
I freeze, realizing too late that I spoke in the past tense. I glance at Bronze, who either hasnā€™t noticed or is hiding it well. She just nods. I relax a little, sinking back into my seat.
ā€œIā€™d love to go back one day,ā€ I confide. ā€œNot necessarily to Lisbon, but Iā€™d like to live in Portugal again.ā€
ā€œReally? Do you miss it?ā€
ā€œLetā€™s just say I have all my memories there. I used to go back during the holidays when my dad wasnā€™t on a missionā€¦ It was my refuge.ā€
ā€œStay here in Manchester if you want a change of scenery.ā€
Weā€™ve had this conversation before not too long ago. She knows Iā€™m thinking about it. I didnā€™t expect her to encourage me to do it.
ā€œYou said you were starting to like it here, so why not?ā€
ā€œItā€™s a possibility. Iā€™ve thought about it, but itā€™s more complicated than that. How am I supposed to live here? Iā€™d be unemployed, and on top of that, Iā€™d be coming from a damn campā€¦ Iā€™m not sure that makes a good impression on a resume.ā€
ā€œWould you like to live here?ā€
I donā€™t answer right away. I weigh the pros and cons of her question. In reality, I have no idea. I donā€™t know anything except the camp. Iā€™ve had a taste of the city, but not in depth.
ā€œNo idea,ā€ I shrug. ā€œI donā€™t know much, really. Iā€™d like to visit the city sometime.ā€
She seems to be thinking. I had asked her before to give me a tour, but we never revisited the topic. I didnā€™t want to seem pushy by insisting. If it happens, I want the offer to come from her. She was about to say something but then stops herself and completely changes the subject, telling me she knows some nice places near the mall for lunch. As long as thereā€™s no soup involved, I donā€™t care where she takes me. A few minutes later, we arrive at our destination. Itā€™s a small, cozy restaurant. Weā€™re warmly welcomed and quickly seated. Itā€™s not too crowded. It seems like the kind of place with lots of regulars. We ordered our drinks first, then our meals. I got a chicken cordon bleu. Itā€™s my first real meal of the week, and I plan to enjoy it now that I can finally eat something solid again. Bronze smiled amusedly at my order. I wasnā€™t joking when I said Iā€™d strangle her if she offered me soup one more time.
ā€œI have a proposal for you,ā€ she says seriously.
ā€œWhat kind of proposal?ā€
ā€œIā€™ll give you a tour of the city one weekend when you get a pass.ā€
ā€œReally? Like, a whole weekend?ā€
ā€œYes, a whole weekend,ā€ she laughs. ā€œIā€™ll host you so we can have more freedom. That way, you can get a feel for the city. But Iā€™d prefer if we do it after the Christmas holidays.ā€
I canā€™t believe it. She finally offered! A whole weekend at her place and a tour of the city. What more could I ask for? She really got me earlier when she changed the subject! I can barely resist jumping for joy. Sheā€™s doing everything she can to make me happy. I should pay for the meal, actually. Not only because she paid last time, but also to thank her for everything sheā€™s done for me. Iā€™m probably the only student she treats like this, after all.
ā€œIā€™ll take that as a yes?ā€
I nod enthusiastically, my wide smile never leaving my face. She laughs softly. To think that back in early October, I couldnā€™t stand her. Now, Iā€™m not sure I could do without her. Weā€™ve reached a point where weā€™re eating out together at a restaurant. Our food arrives shortly after. That was incredibly fast. My stomach growls at the sight of my dish. I barely manage a quick ā€œBon appĆ©titā€ before diving into the food. I close my eyes, savoring the meat. I even let out a little moan, which makes Bronze laugh.
ā€œDonā€™t make fun of me! Youā€™re the one who deprived me of decent food for a week.ā€
ā€œYouā€™re the one who was sick and didnā€™t have an appetite until today.ā€
I stick out my tongue at her, and her smile widens. We eat leisurely, chatting about my classes and revisions, which are already getting on my nerves. However, I have to admit that her lessons are paying off. Her supervision motivates me to keep going and make my goal possible. My math teacher, whoā€™s also my homeroom teacher, gave me a schedule for the tests I agreed to retake. Iā€™ll be taking one or two after my classes under Bronzeā€™s supervision in a classroom. Without these new tests, I would have had an extra week to prepare for the final exams of the semester, which are scheduled for the last week before the holidays. I would have preferred to take everything in the last week, but Bronze thought that was too much and suggested I take the others the week before. So, Iā€™ll have two very busy weeks in a row. I feel like I wonā€™t be getting much sleep in the coming nights, even if Bronze manages to help me revise effectively.
ā€œBy the way, do you have any plans for New Yearā€™s?ā€
ā€œOh, so Iā€™m allowed to celebrate that one?ā€
Has she already forgotten that she banned me from parties? Iā€™d regret reminding her if thatā€™s the case. January 1st falls on a Friday, and we start right back up on Monday from what Iā€™ve seen. I canā€™t afford to mess up anyway. I had some major bouts of depression after my detox. Bronze had to reassure me several times to keep me from spiraling into guilt over my actions. To her, Iā€™m not to blame. Just for her support, I canā€™t let her down. Seeing her disappointed because of me would hurt. Moreover, the decision about the electives will be made during the class council at the beginning of the year. You canā€™t say that the decision is in my favor at the moment. So, I need to be present in class and make a good impression if I want it to be favorable. Iā€™m both excited and nervous about that moment arriving. There will be a change in class and schedule starting in the third week. The only thing that scares me is ending up alone. None of my friends seem to have the same options as me, especially not Alexia. Itā€™s annoying because sheā€™s the person I appreciate the most here.
ā€œAs long as youā€™re reasonable,ā€ she shrugs. ā€œSo, any plans?ā€
ā€œTo be honest, no. I havenā€™t planned anything yet. Iā€™m thinking about spending it with Mapi in Barcelona, but we havenā€™t seriously discussed it.ā€
ā€œYou donā€™t talk to her?ā€
ā€œYes, we write to each other every dayā€¦ well, we just catch up briefly,ā€ I say, lowering my head. ā€œBetween our classes, my cold, and her girlfriendā€¦ itā€™s limited.ā€
ā€œDoes it bother you?ā€
ā€œWell, a little, yeah,ā€ I admit. ā€œI know she wonā€™t replace me, but it bothers me to be far from her. She was my confidante beforeā€”ā€
ā€œBeforeā€¦?ā€ she furrows her brows. ā€œIsnā€™t that the case anymore?ā€
I run my hand over my face. Damnā€¦ I made the mistake of looking into her eyes. She doesnā€™t even realize the effect she has on me, or maybe she knows how to use it. I look away before murmuring a weak, ā€œBefore youā€¦ā€
ā€œWhat do you mean, ā€˜before meā€™?ā€
ā€œWellā€¦ since Iā€™ve been here, I find it easier to confide in you. I told her about it, and since then, sheā€™s been encouraging me to do itā€¦ā€
ā€œI see. And whatā€™s the problem?ā€
ā€œWell, letā€™s just say she doesnā€™t know everything about my past. She must think that over time, Iā€™ll be able to confide in you completely, and thatā€™s why she encourages me. She thinks itā€™ll be a relief to finally tell someone.ā€
ā€œAnd what do you think?ā€
ā€œWellā€¦ she might not be wrong,ā€ she shrugs. ā€œBut Iā€™m afraid sheā€™ll resent me for doing it later. I donā€™t want her to think sheā€™s less important or that sheā€™ll blame herself for not getting me to open upā€¦ I donā€™t really know, but all I know is that I care too much about her to risk losing her.ā€
Iā€™ve already abandoned her once, and I donā€™t want her to think itā€™ll happen again. I donā€™t want to push her away or exclude her from my life. Sheā€™s the only one who came back and who I really care about. It would be the ultimate irony if she thought sheā€™d failed as my best friend.
ā€œHave you talked to her about it?ā€
ā€œNo, sheā€™d think Iā€™m crazy,ā€ I chuckle.
ā€œYou should. Am I allowed to give my opinion?ā€
ā€œOf course.ā€
ā€œI think she just wants whatā€™s best for you, which is why sheā€™s encouraging you to open up to me. For her, it doesnā€™t matter who the person is as long as you feel better. I imagine she just wants to see you like you were before.ā€
ā€œYou think so?ā€
ā€œShe cares a lot about you, Ona. Youā€™re just worried because youā€™re afraid of being a bad friend by abandoning her again. Am I wrong?ā€
I sigh and shake my head. She really can read me like an open book.
ā€œYou should talk to her.ā€
I sigh deeply, resting my head on my hand. I bring a fry to my mouth as I think. Sheā€™s probably right. Iā€™m worrying over nothing. I hope thatā€™s really the case. I thank her for her advice. Now Iā€™ll have to wait a bit to talk to Mapi. Sheā€™s very busy with her studies and her girlfriend. She has as many assignments as I do that are coming up. Iā€™ll talk to her during the holidays.
ā€œSo, New Yearā€™s?ā€ she asks me.
ā€œIā€™m not sure,ā€ I shrug. ā€œProbably at Anaā€™s place, like last timeā€¦ Weā€™ll see. Iā€™m not too thrilled about the idea, but I donā€™t have much of a choice.ā€
ā€œWhoā€™s that?ā€
ā€œMapiā€™s girlfriend. Iā€™m not jealous, really,ā€ I quickly add. ā€œItā€™s just that I donā€™t really like the kind of parties she throws anymore. What about you, your New Yearā€™s?ā€
ā€œWith my friends, probably.ā€
ā€œStill no girlfriend?ā€
She chuckles, shaking her head without giving me a clear answer. Bronze never talks about herself to me because of the restrictions placed on her. I had a hard time accepting it at first, especially since I tell her a lot. It was strange to think I know her habits and manners, but not her. Now, I accept what she gives me, telling myself sheā€™ll confide in me one day if she feels like it.
ā€œStill none,ā€ she finally replies. ā€œEven if I did have one, I wouldnā€™t bring her with me.ā€
ā€œYouā€™re that type, huh?ā€ I laugh.
ā€œWhat type?ā€ she furrows her brows.
ā€œThe type to hide your girlfriends from your friends.ā€
ā€œI donā€™t hide them. Itā€™s just thatā€¦ I donā€™t know, actually. I guess Iā€™m waiting for the right one before the introductions.ā€
ā€œI see. What are you like in a relationship?ā€
ā€œWhat do you mean?ā€
ā€œWell, are you more the dominant type, or do you let the other person have their way?ā€
ā€œNeither, I suppose.ā€
ā€œOhā€¦ You give off the impression of being dominant,ā€ I giggle.
ā€œMaybe, but Iā€™m not. I believe that in a relationship, both people should be equal. It doesnā€™t matter if itā€™s a gay, lesbian, or straight couple.ā€
ā€œYouā€™re probably rightā€¦ but thereā€™s always one person who stands out a bit more.ā€
ā€œWell, I guess it depends on the person youā€™re in a relationship with.ā€
Those words are so philosophical. I donā€™t completely agree with what she says. Itā€™s true that we can be different with each person weā€™re with, but I think everyone is born with a dominant nature. Bronze seems dominant to me, even if she denies it. Maybe Iā€™m wrong. In any case, sheā€™s dominant compared to me since she surpasses me in any field and orders me around all the time. The meal finally ends. We decide not to linger and head to pay the bill. I had to fight for it, but I eventually managed to pay the whole check. She frowned and scolded me until we reached the mall.
ā€œShall we stick together, or do you want to go our separate ways?ā€ she asks, surprised.
ā€œI donā€™t know the stores here, so Iā€™d rather we stay together if you donā€™t mind.ā€
ā€œOkay,ā€ she smiles. ā€œWhere should we start?ā€
ā€œWell, I already have ideas for certain people.ā€
ā€œThen letā€™s start with them.ā€
We start with Sam and Sophia since I know what I want to get them. We continue into a toy store since Bronze still hasnā€™t said anything. For Joan, itā€™s more complicated. I thought about getting him some board games since he loves playing together, but I changed my mind when Bronze showed me a remote controlled car. I completely fell for it, imagining Joanā€™s face when he sees his gift. I donā€™t buy it but decide not to take it with me. I explained to the vendor that Iā€™d need it in Barcelona. To make things easier, he suggested I reserve it and pick it up at a store in Barcelona, which I immediately accepted. He gave me a reservation voucher. I didnā€™t know that was possible, but itā€™s very convenient. The next shop we go to is a sports store. As you might guess, itā€™s not for me. It was next to where we were, so we went there. She said she knew exactly what she wanted, so it would be quick. I wandered around while she waited for a salesperson. I ended up in the football section. My dad was a big fan, and he introduced me to it. I loved watching matches with him, and sometimes, Iā€™d watch them with Mapi afterward. Weā€™d have movie nights in front of the TV with popcorn when a match was on. I linger over the jerseys. My wardrobe must still have some old ones from the teams my dad supported. I took a large part of his clothes when we did the big sort through his things.
ā€œIā€™ve been looking for you everywhere,ā€ I hear Lucy say behind me. ā€œAre you coming?ā€
ā€œYeahā€¦ā€ I say, dragging my hand over one of the jerseys. ā€œAre you done?ā€
ā€œUh-huh. Did you find something you like?ā€ she asks, looking at the section.
ā€œNo, no. I was just looking.ā€
ā€œDo you like football?ā€ she asks, surprised.
ā€œYeah,ā€ I say, smiling shyly. ā€œAnd you like boxing?ā€ I ask, furrowing my brows at the boxing gloves sheā€™s holding.
ā€œTheyā€™re for my best friend. Her are broken.ā€
She was holding other items, but they must have been related to the gloves. I nodded, and then we headed to the checkout to pay for her items. We walked out into the middle of the shopping mall with an extra bag in hand.
"Do you have anything in mind?"
"I'm torn between getting a bracelet or perfume for Mapi," I shrugged. "What's the best choice for an ex? And on top of that, her girlfriend doesn't know about us."
"How come?"
"Sheā€™s afraid her girlfriend will have a jealous meltdown. She pretends I'm just her best friend so she can stay over at my place without any issues."
"Thatā€™s risky," she said, raising an eyebrow.
"I already warned her, but she doesnā€™t want to hear it," I shrugged again.
"Okay. Well, let's start with the perfume shop then. I noticed my parents' bottles are almost empty, so Iā€™d like to get them that. You can think it over in the meantime."
I agreed, and we headed to the next store, which was on the second floor this time. Bronze quickly decided on her purchases, picking up their usual bottles. As for me, a saleswoman made me smell several perfumes after she saw me wandering through the aisles. I narrowed it down to three based on what Mapi likes. Bronze went to pay for her items while I was left to choose between the last three testers I held in my hand. It was a tough decision.
"Bronze?" I called out to her.
"Iā€™ve already told you not to call me that," she reprimanded me.
Iā€™d forgotten that she now allows me to use her first name when weā€™re outside of work. It feels strange now that Iā€™ve gotten used to calling her by her last name. She put her wallet back in her bag before coming over to my side.
"Whatā€™s up?"
"Which one do you prefer?" I asked, holding out the testers one by one.
"Iā€™m not sure. What does she usually like?"
"She loves fruity scents, but nothing too strong. We have pretty similar tastes, but this is hard."
"I personally prefer the last one."
"Iā€™m torn between that one and the first."
"Maybe you want to check out the jewelry store first?"
"No, I think Iā€™ll stick with the perfume. Iā€™ve already given her plenty of jewelry," I chuckled.
"Well, then you just have to choose between these two."
She took away the strip of paper with the scent I liked the least. I sighed as I looked at the remaining two. Bronze went off to browse while I made my decision. I sniffed them alternately for at least a quarter of an hour. Thankfully, sheā€™s patient. Iā€™m not sure Iā€™d have been so tolerant in her place. I jumped slightly when I felt a weight on my back, relaxing when I realized it was Bronze who had come back. She crossed her arms over my shoulders and rested her head on them. Her position was a bit awkward. She asked me to let her smell the two perfumes again, which I did.
"I still prefer the one I mentioned earlier."
"I think Iā€™ll go with that one then."
"Why hesitate? Plus, thereā€™s a set that includes shower gel and lotion," she pointed with her chin.
"Alright, fine. I was leaning more towards that one anyway. It suits her better. Worst case, if she complains, Iā€™ll just say you recommended it."
"Of course, it's too easy to blame others," she laughed.
She moved away from me, so I took the opportunity to grab the set she had pointed out. We went to the checkout, where someone was already paying for their purchases. The wait would be short.
"Besides, you shouldnā€™t complain about a gift you receive," she added.
"Sheā€™s never complained, but I can tell when she doesnā€™t like something."
"Why wouldnā€™t she like it?"
"I have no idea," I shrugged.
I paid for the perfume and accepted the saleswoman's offer to wrap it as a gift. Iā€™m terrible at wrapping, so at least that was one thing taken care of.
"You really want to do things right with her," she chuckled.
"I owe her that much after all the time sheā€™s put up with me."
"Youā€™re very easy to put up with."
"Glad to hear that from you, Lucy."
I accidentally emphasized her first name. I still find it hard to use it. Bronze must have understood because she laughed. The saleswoman finally returned with my gift, ready to give. I thanked her for her service. Our shopping continued at the jewelry store where Lucy wanted to take another look. She was interested in bracelets while I browsed on my own. I lingered over the rings. One caught my eye. It looked a lot like the one my supervisor wears on her finger. She joined me when she noticed I had stopped.
"See something you like?"
"No."
"Well, yes. I can tell youā€™re stuck here," she commented.
She looked at the display case, trying to figure out which one might have caught my interest. I gave in and pointed it out to her. She must have noticed it looked like hers... A flicker of surprise crossed her face, but she quickly hid it without saying anything.
"Iā€™m going to call a saleswoman. I spotted a bracelet Iā€™m interested in."
I sighed softly and nodded. At least she didnā€™t make it awkward. It was half past four by the time we were done, and she suggested we stop at the cafeteria.
"You didnā€™t get anything for your parents," she remarked once we were seated at a table.
"My relationship with my mother isnā€™t the best..." I reminded her, playing with my cup.
"It bothers you, doesnā€™t it?"
"A little, but Iā€™ve gotten used to it," I shrugged. "I donā€™t really want to talk about it."
"I understand."
She changed the subject without prying further. I appreciate Bronze for that. She never insists. We sipped our drinks, enjoying this rare moment. When we were done, I expected us to head home, but she suggested we take another walk, just for ourselves. I immediately agreed, especially since I wanted to look for a new jacket, so this was the perfect opportunity. This day was really nice. At least it helped me think about something other than my upcoming exams. I just hope Iā€™ll be able to live up to everyoneā€™s expectations. Itā€™s a lot of pressure, but for now, I prefer to enjoy the present moment with my supervisor by my side.

Maybe pt. 8
Pairing: Norm MacLean X Female Reader or OC if you squint
Former friends to a relationship?
Life is pretty easy in Vault 33 until you're trying to rekindle a former friendship and Raiders attack. Now, our main characters are trying to navigate newfound feelings, all while undercovering the mysteries of Vault 33. Stay tuned. Follows the main storyline of season 1; some events may be reordered for plot.
Following the council meeting and Norm's reassignment, the two of you are enjoying a quiet evening together when a single question threatens to dredge up a whirlwind of emotions.
Part 1 Here. Part 6 Here Part 12 Here
Part 2 Here Part 7 Here
Part 3 Here Part 9 Here
Part 4 Here Part 10 Here
Part 5 Here Part 11 Here
Tumblr media
Norm was convinced you thought he was a lunatic.Ā 
Ā One minute, the two of you were relaxing on the sofa. Normā€˜s head resting against your lap while you read. The occasional brush of your fingers through his hair threatens to lull him to sleep. The next, he found himself unable to stop ranting and raving, all because of a simple question. How did everything go today? The book you were reading was long since discarded to the side as you gave him your full attention. He went on detailing the events of his day, from his ā€œreassignmentā€ at the council meeting to his first interaction with the raiders locked in the vault reading room. You didnā€™t interrupt, though he wasnā€™t sure he could have stopped even if you had. His frustrations with the council and whatever happened in the Vaults were not subtle. Norm always appreciated the candor you two shared when it came to communication. Still, he couldnā€™t help feeling some unease divulging all of these feelings, unsure of how youā€™d respond.Ā 
ā€œIā€™m sorry,ā€ he apologized, putting his hand on his forehead and moving to sit upright. ā€œSeeing how we treated them today, with food and kindness, just sent me over the edge.ā€ Nothing about this situation with the Raiders felt right to him. Four square meals a day and a soft bed werenā€™t exactly punishment; how was no one else seeing it?Ā 
ā€œCause it feels like the opposite of justiceā€¦ā€ you validated after listening to everything he had to say about his punishment from the council and the situation he experienced with the Raiders.Ā 
ā€œYes,ā€ his tone laced with utmost seriousness. ā€œWe watched people commit some of the most heinous acts we could imagine, and now weā€™re expected to be the bigger person and move on?ā€Ā 
You felt the weight of the shared resentment settles between you, the reality of the situation pressing heavily on your shoulders. Memories of recent events resurfaced with a vengeance, emotions that had been buried away over the last few days trying to escape. You took a deep breath, trying to steady yourself, but the feelings of pain and anger were already seeping out uncontrolled.Ā 
ā€œFor godā€™s sake, I had to kill a man with a pipe wrench the other day, and the council just wants toā€¦ā€ you stopped short, your words hanging before you like a poison in the air. You had avoided saying it out loud since that night, hopeful it would help you forget having to come to terms with the actions you took.Ā 
Normā€™s eyes widened with surprise. You had implied what had happened after the two of you were separated down Vault 32ā€™s corridor, but he never pressed you for details you werenā€™t ready to share. He figured you were still processing your actions from the night of the raid but taking another life to save your own- a decision forced on you because of someone else's actions. He knew this was your nightmare scenario. Of course, you both had been reeling this entire time; how had he not noticed until now? He copied your gesture from the days before, offering his hand and intertwining it with yours with a squeeze. You took another deep breath, your eyes locking with Normā€™s, raw with shared pain and anger.Ā 
ā€œYou shouldnā€™t have been there alone, and Iā€™ll always hate that part of myself for that.ā€Ā 
ā€œDonā€™t, you know full well how rushing into that situation would have gone. Weā€™re here now.ā€ You leaned in, pressing your forehead against Normā€™s, a gesture of solidarity and unspoken promise. ā€œWeā€™ll get through this, Norm. One step at a time, together.ā€
The two of you continued this way throughout the evening, seamlessly shifting between playful banter and serious discussions. There were moments of shared laughter and tears, with deep emotions surfacing. As the hours passed, you both gradually moved from the couch to sprawling across the living room floor. Norm ended up lying on his back, staring at the ceiling, while you found a comfortable spot on your stomach.
ā€œYour turn,ā€ Norm says, encouraging another round of the question game youā€™ve been playing.
ā€œHmmm, if you could go back to before and experience one thing, what would it be?ā€
ā€œCome on,ā€ Norm groans, ā€œthereā€™s no point in...ā€
ā€œOh, please. At least try to be a little fun,ā€ you tease.
He laughs and puts his hands up in surrender. ā€œFine, fine.ā€ He couldnā€™t help but give in to you. Norm ponders for a minute. ā€œMaybe getting to experience an arcade or comic shop in their heyday, the way theyā€™re portrayed in movies at least. Atomic Command on the Pip-Boy is only so entertaining; something new would be fun. Plus a day to do something I enjoy, with no obligations, maybe meet people who like the same things as me. What about you?ā€
ā€œThe national parks,ā€ you answer immediately, without needing to think. ā€œAll of them, any one of them, wouldnā€™t matter. Even just sitting there to experience them with all my senses, that would be my day,ā€ you say, conjuring up images from the picture books you read as a kid.ā€ Itā€™s heartbreaking seeing how we just squandered... never mind, we donā€™t need to end tonight on a sour note.ā€
Norm nods, a thoughtful expression on his face. ā€œYeah, well, at least weā€™ve got these moments now. I guess that counts for something.ā€
You smile, feeling a sense of connection. ā€œYeah, it really does.ā€Ā  You stretch and move to stand while announcing, ā€œItā€™s getting late; I should probably head out.ā€
ā€œIā€™ll walk you you back.ā€Ā 
ā€œSuch a gentleman,ā€ you gush, heading out the door. Norm laughs. ā€œI think thatā€™s a sentiment only you and my mom would share.ā€Ā 
ā€œWell, your mom and I have excellent taste,ā€ you reply with a wink. ā€œAside from your wit and charm, youā€™re incredibly thoughtful and caring, Norm. One of the many reasons I enjoy spending time with you.ā€
He grins a hint of bashfulness in his eyes. ā€œThanks. You know, youā€™re pretty amazing yourself. You have this way of making even the simplest moments feel special.ā€
You feel a warmth spread through you at his words. ā€œThat means a lot, Norm.ā€Ā 
As you both reach the door of your living quarters, you turn to face Norm, a smile resting on your lips.
ā€œWell, here we are,ā€ you say softly.
ā€œYeah,ā€ Norm replies, a hint of nervousness in his voice. He hesitates for a moment, then takes a deep breath. ā€œCan I... can I kiss you?ā€
Your heart flutters at his question. ā€œIā€™d like that,ā€ you whisper, your voice barely audible.
Norm steps closer, his eyes searching yours for any sign of hesitation. Seeing none, he gently cups your face with his hands and leans in. The world seems to slow down as his lips meet yours in a tender, lingering kiss. It's soft and sweet, filled with the promise of more shared moments.
As you pull back, you both smile, your foreheads resting against each other for the second time this evening. ā€œThat was nice,ā€ you say, your voice filled with warmth.
ā€œYeah, it was,ā€ Norm agrees, his eyes shining with happiness. ā€œGoodnight, (Y/N).ā€
ā€œGoodnight, Norm,ā€ you reply, feeling a contented glow as you watch him walk away.Ā 
ā€”------------------------
Norm is lost in thought, walking home with a faint smile on his face. He rounds the corner of the hallway leading back to his living quarters and nearly collides with Betty Pearson.
ā€œWhoa, Norm! Didnā€™t see you there,ā€ Betty exclaims, steadying herself.
ā€œSorry, Betty,ā€ Norm replies, snapping back to reality. ā€œI didnā€™t see you either.ā€
She raises an eyebrow and glances at her Pip-Boy. ā€œItā€™s pretty late to be out for a walk, isnā€™t it?ā€
ā€œYeah, I was just, uh, walking a friend home,ā€ Norm says, trying to sound casual as a faint blush creeps up his cheeks.
Bettyā€™s eyes narrow slightly, a knowing look crossing her face. ā€œIā€™ve noticed you and (Y/N)Ā  have been spending quite a bit of time together lately.ā€
Norm shifts uncomfortably, not wanting to reveal too much. ā€œYeah, weā€™ve been hanging out. Sheā€™s good company.ā€
Betty smiles, but thereā€™s a hint of something more in her expression. ā€œThatā€™s nice to hear. Itā€™s important to find good company these days. Just remember, people are always watching. Itā€™s easy to lose track of time when youā€™re with someone special.ā€
ā€œThanks, Betty. Iā€™ll keep that in mind,ā€ Norm replies, feeling a bit uneasy as he continues down the hallway, Bettyā€™s words lingering in his mind.

New WorldšŸ‚Part.11
Summary: You grew up in a crappy town with one friend who kept you going, everything started to fall into place, thatā€™s until the world ended and the dead ruled the world, now you and your best friend Daryl Dixon had to stay alive but will you finally confess?
Warnings: This chapter contains light sh if youā€™re not comfortable donā€™t interact
Part.10
ā€¢Masterlistā€¢
Tumblr media
Itā€™s been a few days since Daryl had left me to stay out god knows where with Merle, his brother who was an ass and always treated him like crap, he left and I had no more will to live, he was my anchor, I havenā€™t left the watch tower since I got up here I couldnā€™t find the effort to go down for anything
The door to the guard tower opened seeing it was Carl with Judith, coming and sitting next to me on the little makeshift bed
ā€œHeyā€¦..we miss you down thereā€ he said smiling, he was such a sweet kid and ever since the incident with Lori heā€™s kind of clung to me but I didnā€™t hate it
ā€œIā€™m fine hereā€
ā€œWell I brought you some water and some cans of foodā€ he said taking his back pack off and handing it over
ā€œThank you sweetie, sorry Iā€™m not of any help right now, itā€™s hard to explain this feelingā€ I said as he placed little Judith in my arms
ā€œItā€™s okay, I may not get it but I know what itā€™s like to lose someone you love, and I know how much you loved Darylā€
ā€œI just miss him so much, I need him backā€ I said feeling my chest tighten trying to keep the tears at bay as I let Judith play around with my fingers
ā€œIf youā€™re soulmates youā€™ll meet again and from what Iā€™ve seen you are just let him see what heā€™s missing and heā€™ll come running back for youā€ he smiled patting my shoulder
After some play time with Judith and a little chat with Carl he left having to change her and feed her, maybe Carl was right maybe I should go down for a bit it might clear my head, I left the guard tower making sure to cover all my cuts and saw Carol and the prisoner talking
ā€œHey y/n itā€™s good to see youā€ she said with that bright smile of hers
I just smiled and nodded still not feeling like my old self, the me that felt whole with Daryl, before the apocalypse I never was reliant on him like I am now but heā€™s still the man I love the man Iā€™ve always loved, I canā€™t just bounce back to normal without the person Iā€™ve had in my life since I was a kid
I wandered around the courtyard, picking up some stray garbage helping to clean up the place when there was a gun shot, I looked around frantic seeing Axel dead on the ground Carol hiding behind his body as more guns went off
I ran to go back to the watch tower hoping to get some cover but the distance was further than I thought and I didnā€™t know where the shots were coming from so I didnā€™t know if I was covered and that was quickly proven when that familiar feeling of stinging warmth flooded my body
I fell to the ground right as I got to the watch tower dragging myself inside somehow, slumping down on the stairs looking at the blood gushing down my chest and right arm, a bullet gone right into my shoulder, the blood oozing out quickly making me lightheaded fast from my low iron
I ripped off a piece of my shirt struggling to wrap it around my shoulder and tying it off tight to help the bleeding, I laid back against the stairs feeling weak, the sound of blood pumping in my head by body exhausted
The gun fire had ceased and I heard the others outside scared trying to figuring out everything that happened
I tried to kick the door open but it was no use, my vision was starting to blur and become spotty
Tumblr media
Darylā€™s POV
ā€œWhereā€™s y/n?ā€ I asked looking around not seeing her Carol or T.dog
ā€œLast I saw she was trying to run back to the watch tower sheā€™s been staying inā€ Carl said pointing over to the tower me and her always stayed in on our turns
ā€œDamnā€ I grunted running across the court, Carl and Maggie right behind me as I yanked the door open, the sight making my heart stop
Tumblr media
Normal POV
Voices around me, faces blurred but the closer it got the more I knew it was Daryl as I was gently picked up
ā€œDā€¦.Darylā€ I spluttered out
ā€œIā€™m here sunshineā€
Then everything went black
Tumblr media
Darylā€™s POV
I ran with her in my arms to the cell block laying her down next to Hershel as he yelled for the others to get his supplies
ā€œWill she be okay?ā€ I asked focusing on all the blood covering her, I should have never left why the hell did I leave
ā€œWe gotta stop the bleeding, with her being anemic sheā€™s gonna have a harder time lasting with all this blood lose but Iā€™ll do all I canā€ he said as he pressed down hard, after it stopped he pulled out the bullet stitched her up and sterilized it then bandaging her wound
ā€œSheā€™s bleeding on her leg tooā€ he said noticed blood that had seeped through her jeans, I was hesitant but her health was more important so I pulled her jeans down enough for us to see what was causing the bleeding here and it finally broke me because this was my fault and I knew it, Hershel looked at me with worried eyes then went to clean them
I moved her to our bed on the perch and waited for her to wake up, hoping she woke up, I canā€™t believe this happened to her again in the span of a year, shot twice my sunshine the girl whoā€™s stuck by me always making sure I was okay and now Iā€™m the reason she hurt herself, the reason I wasnā€™t here to protect her
I gently peeled her out of her blood soaked clothes and put her in a spare shirt of mine and some looser jean shorts that covered her cuts, I found a clean rag and a bucket of water and cleaned off her face and any dirt that had accumulated on her body
I hope she come back to me soon
Tumblr media
Normal POV
My head was pounding and everything was so bright and hazy
ā€œFuckā€ I groaned trying to cover my eyes but shoot pain through my shoulder
ā€œHey yer awakeā€ I heard from beside me, I tried to focus and his face came into view, it was Daryl
ā€œAm I dead? Or did you come backā€ I asked running my hand on his scruffy face
ā€œ ā€˜m back I shoulda never leftā€ he said filled with guilt
ā€œWhy would you go Daryl, Iā€™ve always been thereā€¦ā€¦ā€¦you promisedā€
Tumblr media
Part.12
Will y/n forgive Daryl or will she be scared heā€™ll hurt her again

IT'S KINDA A LONG STORY
WARNINGS: None
A/N: This takes place in 2017, character is 28.
Tumblr media
ā€œYou know youā€™ve been with us for 6 months and I donā€™t think you proper told us about how you started hunting.ā€ Sam says, closing his computer.Ā 
ā€œWell, my grandpa was a hunter, so my father became a hunter. Then I decided to continue the family tradition and become a hunter.ā€
ā€œCool. How was your childhood? Mine and Sammyā€™s were fucked, to say the least? Went long periods in hotels. I had to steal food and a bunch of other shit.ā€ Dean says.
ā€œIt was a mixed bag. Itā€™s kinda a long story.ā€ I say, sitting up on the bed.Ā 
ā€œWe have time.ā€ Sam says.
ā€œAlright, strap in, I guess. As you guys know, I was born in ā€˜89. My mom got pregnant with me when she was 16 and.
"Had me a month after she turned 17 on my dadā€™s 17th birthday. My mom came from a very religious family, like super religious, and her getting pregnant with me got her kicked out. My grandma and grandpa let my mom move in. From what I heard, those months were good. My dad was working while trying to finish school while my mom dropped out of school. Mom helped grandma and grandpa with the stuff around the house. When my mom was 8 months and on some odd days with me, she went into labor. She was rushed to the hospital in the town over and had me around 11:45 pm. There were a couple of problems with me since I was premature, but the doctor got everything under control and after a week, I was able to go home.Ā 
Anyway, when I was 2, my mom and dad got married. My first memory was Christmas ā€˜94. I remember opening a fairy princess set. It was nice at the time, but looking back now, it was very cheaply made. But fast forward to my 8th birthday, 97. I remember we had dinner and my father unwrapped his presents first, being older than I got to open mine. I had got nothing but dresses. I remember I broke out crying then when my mom and dad tried to comfort me I yelled that I didnā€™t want to be a girl, then ran upstairs and hid in my room. A couple of minutes later, my dad came up and entered my room. He just sat on the bed and talked to me while I was hide telling me that there wasnā€™t nothing wrong with wanting to be a boy and if I wanted to I could. I crawled out from underneath my bed and sat with him. He held me as I cried and we talked. It started with, is this how you really feel? How long have you been feeling this way? Would it make me happier to be a boy? I told him, It was about 6 when I realized didnā€™t want to be a girl, that I hated the long hair and dresses, and didnā€™t like my given name. We talked until it was time for me to go to bed. My dad tucked me in and stayed with me until I feel asleep. I must have been asleep no longer than a half an hour when I was woken up by yelling from downstairs. I could hear my mom yelling at my dad, saying I canā€™t just be a boy and that itā€™s just a phase. I remember hearing my dad tell her, so what if it is I have to figure out who I am and who I want to be? I just layed their crying while listening to the yelling and ended up crying myself asleep.Ā 
The next day, things were tense, to say the least that I can remember. My grandma and grandpa talked to me after the very tense breakfast and asked if I wanted to go by something else. At that time, I didnā€™t know. They suggest names, even pulled out baby name books, and we looked through them. But I didnā€™t find a name that I liked so they were suggesting different names off the top of their head and I decide on Y/n after my momā€™s brother, my uncle who is most definitely the funnest coolest person I have ever known. I remember the first time he came to visit after I came out and by then I had gotten my hair cut and a new wardrobe. I had told him that I was a boy and that my new name was Y/n. He was super chill about the absolute opposite of my mother, despite coming from the same background. And their one out he called me his mini me.
So fast forward to 99 Iā€™m 10. My mom decide to get me nail polish and make up for my birthday. I was first upset, but that black nail polish called me and I painted them. They looked pretty good, and it made me feel masculine. After I was done with my nails and they were tried and I went downstairs to show my grandma and grandpa. They were in the living room and so was my mom. I show them and my mother butted in by asking if I was finally done with this phase and finally being a girl. I was so upset. I just ran out of the house. I ran into the woods and climbed a top of tree. I was close enough to the house that I could hear my grandparents and mother getting into a screaming match. They yelled at her for 30 minutes, then they came out to find me, but I stayed silent while I cried and they didnā€™t find me. They looked for another half an hour for me before my father came home from his hunt he left on a couple day prior. They rushed to meet him in the driveway and they told my father what had happened.Ā 
And then there comes my mom came out of the house to yell about the whole thing again, saying that she wasnā€™t going to feed into the delusion and that I needed to start acting like a girl. Shit escalated and my dad yelled that he wanted a divorce and to get the fuck out of the house by morning. Then when things died down, my dad came and found me and I climbed down from the tree and he tried to comfort me. But i just kept crying and eventually I tired myself out and fell asleep. He carried me in and I woke up in my bed the next morning hearing loud crying coming from my mom. She tried to guilt trip and have my dad take her back. But it failed and eventually my uncle arrived and got my mom and her stuff and then she wasnā€™t in my life. Which in all this my uncle stood beside us, but he did help my mom because of the whole family thing. Anyway, my mom wasnā€™t completely out of my life. She would leave letters in the mailbox condemning me every couple of weeks.
So then fast forward to when I was 14. I was home alone. When I heard a car pull up. I went downstairs and opened the door and here comes my mom and her boyfriend. I knew something was wrong and quickly closed and locked the door. They started banging on the door and my mom was yelling how she could fix and that I didnā€™t have to pretend anymore. I called the police and hid in my closet. Listening to the banging. After a couple minutes, I hear two cruisers pull, then a commotion. Then eventually the commotion was over and I heard my name called out by the cop saying it was safe. I realized it was my friends Chrisā€™ dad, John.
I got out of hiding and went downstair and the front door was totaled. It was on the verge of breaking. So I go outside they got my mom and her boyfriend in separate cruiser. John and the other officer, Charlie, made sure I was ok. They got another cop to come out and take my mom from Johnā€™s cruiser so John could stay with me. He did, and eventually my dad and grandparents showed up. We pressed charges, they both ended up getting 4 years. And that is the last thing I know about the whereabout of my mom. After that whole situation, my dad and grandpa taught me self defiance, which turned into teaching me how to hunt.Ā 
Then when I was about 18, my grandparents go into a pile up caused by a drunk driver and died. It was really tough around then and I threw myself into my shitty waiter job at the local diner. Made decent money and got good tips. With the saved money, I got myself a car with my dadā€™s help and started traveling, doing hunts. Stayed in contact with dad through this time and still do. He ended up getting close to John after his wife divorced him and they fell for each other. They got married last year, which I attended their wedding, then I took a break from hunting. Then a couple of months ago I started back up my. band, thatā€™s when I met you guys and here we are.ā€
ā€œDamn sorry about the whole transphobic mom and grandparents thing.ā€ Sam says.
ā€œEh, I got over it.ā€
ā€œPretty hard stuff to get over,ā€ Dean adds in.
ā€œYeah, I went to a lot of therapy to get myself to this point.ā€
ā€œGlad it went well for you. Therapists can be tricky. Some help and some donā€™t.ā€ Sam said.
ā€œI got paired with a pretty good one. Anyway, donā€™t mean to switch topics, but how does food sound to you guys because all that talking got me hungry?ā€
ā€œYes, I love the way you think.ā€ Dean says.
ā€œThereā€™s a diner just down the road we can go there.ā€ Sam says.
ā€œSounds good to me.ā€

ā€œSiren..ā€
Sirenbur x oc
Prologue
Waking up and stretching my arms way above my head, I throw the covers off my body over in the left direction. I get off my bed, stand up, and walk into my bathroom, rubbing my eyes as I look at myself in the mirror. ā€œCanā€™t believe Iā€™m still living in this shitty apartment..ā€ I mutter to myself. I brush my teeth and comb out my midnight blue hair before walking back into my bedroom and over to my closet, getting out my work uniform and changing into it quickly. My work attire consisted of a short, tan pencil skirt and a white button-up which I normally pair with black heels and a long coat since Brighton is always cold. I grab my phone and purse, shove my phone into my purse, and walk out the door, making my way to the elevator. My neighbor, Wilbur, steps out of his apartment looking extremely tired. Heā€™s wearing a black button-up with navy dress trousers that are paired with a coat and Doc Martens. ā€˜He looks nice today.ā€™ I think to myself. ā€œHey, Wilbur,ā€ I say as he stands beside me. ā€œOh, hello, Eliza. How have you been this week?ā€ He asks as we both wait for the elevator which takes such a long time since we live on the top floor. ā€œIā€™ve been good, howā€™ve you been?ā€ I continue the conversation, trying to be polite. Wilbur has always seemed like such a strange character. He doesnā€™t talk to people unless heā€™s seen their faces many times and never under any circumstances lets anyone into his apartment. He freaks out when you ask! ā€œIā€™ve uh- Iā€™ve been okay.ā€ He responds. Once the elevator finally gets to our floor and saves me from this awkward situation we both go on and Wilbur presses ā€˜Lā€™. ā€œSo, uh- Eliza. Youā€™ve never really told me where you work.ā€ ā€œOh! I work at the police station, Iā€™m a detective. Right now weā€™re trying to figure out what the hell Siren is planning.ā€ I say a sigh of annoyance leaves my lips at the end of my sentence. ā€œYā€™know, maybe heā€™s just- taking a break?ā€ ā€œWell, Iā€™m also kinda obsessed with Sirenā€¦ I am just dying to know what he looks like under the mask!ā€ I say as I imagine what he looks like under that damn mask. I get snapped out of my thoughts when I hear Wilburā€™s soft giggles, I turn to look at him to be met with the softest, cutest face I have ever seen. Before I can say anything else I hear the ding which means weā€™ve made it to the lobby floor. Me and Wilbur walk out of the elevator and walk opposite ways since he parks in the parking garage and I walk to work. ā€œCya later, Will!ā€ I shout as I walk backward, seeing him hold up the peace sign as he walks out into the parking garage. I walk out of my apartment complex and walk to work which is only a few minutes away. Once I arrive I prepare myself for the dickheads that are my colleagues before walking into the building. I walk in and go straight to my office, ignoring all the stairs that everyone is giving me. ā€œOh! Eliza, you finally decide to show up. Youā€™re gonna have to work later tonight.ā€ My boss, Sebastian says. ā€œWhat! Why?!ā€ I snap. I hate having to work late! ā€œBecause we need you to try and get more evidence.ā€ ā€œEvidence from where?! And for what? We only have one concern right now and thatā€™s to find out what Siren is planning!ā€ I yell. Sebastian only has one care in the world and thatā€™s money. As long as he has money heā€™s fine. And thatā€™s probably why Iā€™m still living in my shitty-ass apartment. ā€œWhatever. I still want you to work late. Hang out with Greg or something. I donā€™t care.ā€ He says as he walks out of my office. I groan and close the door. He loves torturing me! Guess I better make the most of this.
11 p.m. rolls around way too fast. I only have to stay in this stupid office for what, two more hours? Sebastian told me before he left that I just had to stay until 1 a.m. Then I can leave. I pick up the tennis ball on my desk and throw it up, catching it in my left hand and doing the same, throwing it with one hand and catching it with the other. I do that for about 30 minutes before I get bored. I pull out my phone and turn on a movie. This should last until 1. And I was right. 1 a.m. rolls around at the end of the movie and I get up, putting my phone back in my purse and walking out of the building. As Iā€™m about to walk past an alleyway I get pulled into it, a large hand slapping over my mouth. The person pins me to the brick wall, their hand still on my mouth. I look at the person in shock. ā€˜I-is thatā€¦ā€™ ā€œSiren..?ā€ I whisper into his hand. The blue fabric that covers his eyes looks so perfect with his curly brown hair. I came to notice that he hasnā€™t shaved since thereā€™s stubble on his chin and under his nose. He takes his hand away from my mouth, a smirk forming on his face. ā€œHello, little one.ā€ He mutters. ā€œW-whatā€¦ What are you and the syndicate planning?ā€ Is the first thing I say to him, itā€™s the only thing that comes to mind. ā€œOh, youā€™ll have to work for that answer, sweetheart.ā€ He says. ā€œW-what do you mean?ā€ ā€œI meanā€¦ work for me, sexuallyā€¦ā€ He whispers into my ear, his hot breath on my neck. A shiver runs down my spine. Why does he have to be so hot? I gulp, nodding hesitantly. ā€œI mean, if you donā€™t want to, you donā€™t have to. Iā€™m not gonna force you to do anything.ā€ ā€œN-no! I want to!ā€ I shout out at him, immediately clamping a hand over my mouth out of pure embarrassment. ā€œGood girl.ā€ He whispers in my ear one last time before nipping at my neck.

Good morning!!
Yet again my body decided to be nasty to me and wake me up after 4 hours of sleep, I was unable to get back to bed so here I am lmao.
My fast ends at roughly half 8pm I think, before then tho I will still pick up my energy drink lol cuz Iā€™m a little caffeine fiend. My cat has fleas atm so you can imagine my dismay when I woke up with one crawling around in my fucking eyelashšŸ˜Ø weā€™ve tried de-fleaing her twice now, and it hasnā€™t worked. Weā€™ve also sprayed my room with insecticide and that hasnā€™t worked either, so Iā€™m convinced the fleas are evolving šŸ˜³ but yeah itā€™s very icky.
Anyways, I will be going the gym tonight for another half an hour on the treadmill.
I forgot to mention this the other day, but I think my parent is staring to catch on to what Iā€™m doing. When she notices, she tends to buy me my favourite foods and then will make a point to me that she has them. One of them the other day being lasagne. So my options as to keep her suspicion at bay were to make her believe I ate it somehow, or just not eat it and leave it in there, although this would raise suspicion. Well, luckily, yesterday she went out, so I had a big brain moment, and got it out of the fridge and just threw it away in my bin in my room LMAO, so she will look in the fridge now and think Iā€™ve eaten it lol.
But yeah, todayā€™s plans are to go to the shop once my ADHD medication kicks in, get myself an energy drink. I will then plan my meals and snacks for the day, then Iā€™m obviously gonna bash Minecraft or Skyrim until 8:30PM, and either have a snack or a meal, but I think Iā€™m gonna have my breakfast biscuits I picked up yesterday for the first thing I eat. Then later on, at around 11:30, Iā€™ll be at the gym on the treadmill hehe.
This is what is kind of annoying about my insomnia, cuz I canā€™t say I enjoy fasting, I know lots of people do, I personally donā€™t really, hence why I stay on a 16:8, and usually (if I had slept well the night before) that means by the time I wake up, I donā€™t have long to wait until I can break it, except this time I woke up at bloody half 9 AMšŸ™„.
And if I donā€™t like fasting, Iā€™m gonna HATE December, my boyfriend wants to take me out on a date to the Christmas markets and go out to eat, which Iā€™m fine with I think, it just means Iā€™m gonna have to do a 24 hour fast the day before and possibly the day after. I feel like my brain wonā€™t let me just forget about my 3D for a day tho, gonna be trying to get the lowest cal option on the menu despite most menus having no cals (yayšŸ™„).
Anyways, thatā€™s enough yapping from me this morning! I hope you all had/have a wonderful day free from binging and not feeling too bad about yourself!! <3

Better or Worse {11...Simplified?}
For everyone who can't see the original post! Here is chapter 11 of Better or Worse...
ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦..
Cassian
ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦..
I hate late flights but it was all Nesta and I could book last minute. Iā€™m already tired, due to lack of sleep, now that Iā€™m back on the couch. After getting cockblocked by Eris last week, and seeing that intimacy isnā€™t as important to my wife as it apparently is to me, I decided that sleeping on the couch would be best.
She hasnā€™t seemed to mind.
Not once has she asked me to come back to bed. Although, she has stayed true to her word and has been working nonstop since we decided weā€™d be going on vacation. I havenā€™t been ignoring her completely. When weā€™re in the same room, weā€™ve indulged in that same small talk that we indulged in weeks ago. Then, things started to change and get better.
Now I donā€™t know what to think. Iā€™m not sure where we are now.
I debated on calling our little getaway off, but being on the beach right now sounds good, therapeutic, so here we are. Even though thereā€™s a wall back between us, weā€™re taking Gwynā€™s advice and going to paradise for a few days.Ā 
Once we make it past security and to our gate, Nestaā€™s already pulling out her laptop. I mumble that Iā€™m going to find coffee and leave her there to work. I feel a little better, a little less grumpy, once I get caffeine in me. I even feel nice enough to bring Nesta a latte.Ā 
The flight is three hours long, and I sleep for most of it. Surprisingly, the plane seat is just as comfortable as the couch.
Maybe we should get a new couch.Ā 
I only wake up when we land, as the plane jolts once it makes contact with the tarmac. Nestaā€™s laptop is put away, although I think itā€™s because they ask you to when landing, not because she chose to. Either way, she gives me a little smile and nods out the window. ā€œWe made it.ā€
Itā€™s hard to see anything because itā€™s already dark, but I know the airport is close to the ocean. I can see city lights through the window, but Iā€™m too tired to try and brace myself for the nightlife of Adriata tonight.Ā 
I yawn as we pull up to our gate and the seatbelt signs are turned off. ā€œI think our hotel is pretty close to here.ā€Ā 
It wasnā€™t what she was expecting me to respond with. Her smile falters, but she nods. ā€œThatā€™s good.ā€Ā 
Iā€™m not in the mood for the small talk right now. I donā€™t have patience for it. Swiping my phone out of my pocket, I see that itā€™s nearly midnight. I turn it off of airplane mode and a barrage of texts and emails come through. I ignore the texts from my employees until tomorrow and skim over my email, deciding the contents of it can wait until the sun rises, too.
I open the group chat between my brothers and I, sending off a short text letting them know weā€™d landed. Azriel replies almost immediately, telling us to have fun, while Rhys is all radio silence. Seeing as itā€™s almost two in the morning in Velaris, Iā€™m not surprised.
Itā€™s taking forever for the people ahead of us to disembark, so I open my text thread with just Az, not wanting to wake up a likely sleeping Rhys or worse ā€” Feyre.
Youā€™re up late, I text. Everything okay?
Again, his reply is almost instantaneous. Itā€™s all good. Elain woke up from a dream craving butter crunch ice cream. Iā€™m at my third grocery store looking for it.
Chuckling, I respond, You know sheā€™ll be fast asleep by the time you get home.
Yeah, but her smile in the morning will make it worth it.
I hate the jealousy that shoots through me reading my brotherā€™s words.
Gwyn is still the only person weā€™ve told about Nestaā€™s miscarriages. They have no idea how badly I want what they both have.
Still, I reply, Take care of your woman. Iā€™ll talk to you tomorrow.
I hit send as soon as we finally get moving, then weā€™re making our way to baggage claim. Half an hour later, with my bag tossed over my shoulder and wheeling Nestaā€™s suitcase behind me, weā€™re finding a cab to take us down to the beach, where our hotel is.
Nesta booked the flight, but I chose the hotel. With a weight room bigger than the one at my gym and walking distance to the shore, I didnā€™t even have to think twice about spending the ridiculous amount of money to book us a suite.Ā 
Nesta doesnā€™t seem to mind either as we make our way into the lobby and she looks around, impressed. The thought occurs to me then that maybe I shouldā€™ve picked a shitty hotel. If she likes it too much, it will be that much more tempting to stay in our room and work as she overlooks the endless blue waters beyond our balcony.
Nonetheless, I check in and we make our way up to the ninth floor where our suite lies at the end of the hall.Ā 
The room is big, clean, with a giant bathroom that has a jacuzzi and a little living room with a mini kitchen.
Ā The only issue is that the couch in the living room is nothing more than a loveseat, which means that it will be me and Nesta in the same bed, yet again.
At least itā€™s a king size.Ā 
Apparently Iā€™m staring disappointedly at the bed because Nesta asks, ā€œSomething wrong?ā€
Surely she knows. One look at her and I can tell she does. ā€œNope.ā€
I toss our bags on the loveseat and open mine up, finding my toothbrush and all my other toiletries before making my way to the bathroom and closing the door behind me.
I take longer in the bathroom than I usually would, but I also admit that Iā€™m being a bit of a coward. Iā€™m hoping that when I come out, Nesta will be in bed, already asleep, and I can curl up on the uncomfortable loveseat for what I can only imagine will be one of the worst nightā€™s sleep of my life. I want to skip the fight that I feel is inevitable. Iā€™m too tired to fight, too tired to explain to her why I canā€™t sleep in the bed with her.
But what I want doesnā€™t matter, because when I exit the bathroom, Nesta isnā€™t in bed. She isnā€™t even in the room.
The sliding door leading the balcony is open, sheer, white curtains fluttering in the warm breeze and I know thatā€™s where Iā€™ll find her.
She doesnā€™t notice me immediately, her eyes closed as she takes in the ocean air. Her hair hangs long and loose down her back, freed from the braid she usually wears it in, and sheā€™s changed out of her leggings and t-shirt. I donā€™t recognize the pale, lace night gown sheā€™s wearing.
But she looks absolutely ethereal standing in the moonlight.
Iā€™m breathless.
Even when Iā€™m pissed, frustrated with this woman, she has the power to take my breath away.
Which is why Iā€™m still here, why I didnā€™t leave for good. I need that reminder as I step onto the balcony.Ā 
Her eyes open as I lean against the railing next to her but she doesnā€™t look at me. For a moment, neither of us say a word, but then she says, ā€œYou canā€™t sleep on that couch.ā€
The sound of the waves crashing against the shore relax me. ā€œI know.ā€
ā€œDoes that mean youā€™re okay sleeping with me tonight?ā€ she asks, and her voice is quiet which is strange for Nesta. Itā€™s strange to hear fear lacing her tone, even if itā€™s subtle.Ā 
ā€œI did debate on creating a pillow blockade between us,ā€ I say, and I say it as a joke even though itā€™s something I considered while getting ready for bed.Ā 
Nesta huffs a laugh but thereā€™s hardly any humor in it. ā€œI wouldnā€™t blame you if you did. Cassianā€”ā€
ā€œItā€™s late,ā€ I say, and finally look at her. Sheā€™s still looking at the water, but her body is relaxed as if sheā€™s come to terms with the conversation weā€™re about to have. ā€œWe can do this tomorrowā€”ā€
ā€œNo, we canā€™t.ā€ She turns toward me then and looks up. Her eyes are pleading. ā€œI donā€™t want this vacation to start off on the wrong foot. This is supposed to be good for us and it canā€™t be good for us if weā€™re not communicating. Youā€™re pissed.ā€ I open my mouth, but she shakes her head before I can say anything. ā€œAnd donā€™t say youā€™re not. Iā€™m not stupid, Cassian. I messed up, and Iā€™ve been pretending like I didnā€™t do anything wrong but I did. I know I did, and I feel foolish. The other nightā€¦ Iā€™ve been wanting you to touch me like that for so long. It wasnā€™t that I wanted you to stop, because I didnā€™t, but when I saw Eris was calling me, my stubborn, workaholic nature took over and I had to answer. If I hadnā€™t answered, it would have been all I was thinking about, instead of what we were doing. And thatā€™s not an excuse, because I know I hurt you when I answered the damn phone, and youā€™re right. I shouldnā€™t have.ā€
Youā€™re right. Those are not words that leave my wifeā€™s mouth often.Ā 
ā€œBut I meant what I said, what I promised you. This weekend is about us. Iā€™m going to wake up every morning, respond to emails, mark a couple of little things off my checklist, and thatā€™s it. And if you feel like Iā€™m taking too long, then tell me. But I got a lot done in the last week, just so I can spend this time with you, uninterrupted. I want you to know that Iā€™m all in, with you. Youā€™re more important than my job, and if youā€™re feeling like youā€™re not, I need you to be vocal about it so I can be more aware.ā€
Last time I was vocal about it, she answered the phone anyways, but I donā€™t tell her that now. Sheā€™s trying. Sheā€™s communicating. Sheā€™s being honest. So, I nod. ā€œItā€™s late,ā€ I repeat, although more gentle than before. ā€œLetā€™s get to bed so we can have a good day tomorrow.ā€
The fear in her eyes fades and she looks relieved as she takes my hand. I let her pull me inside, toward the bed, where we lay down together beneath the blankets.Ā 
Nothing more is said as we drift off to sleep, but she lays her head against my chest and I hold on to her through the night.
ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦..
Nesta
ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦..
I havenā€™t had such a good nightā€™s sleep since the last time I had Cass in bed with me, and the only reason I wake up now is because the newly awoken sun is streaming through the thin curtains and my husbandā€™s cock is burying itself painfully into my backside.Ā 
All night, he never let me go. My back is pressed up against his front, his arm slung lazily across my waist as he breathes steadily into the silence. I can feel his chest rise and fall against my back. It calms me.
I know that heā€™s sleeping better now than he has in days, too, and I donā€™t want to wake him so I stay perfectly still, even though Iā€™m tempted, even if all I can think about is the feel of him up against me.Ā 
All Iā€™ve been able to think of since that night is how I could be so stupid. Weā€™ve been making so much progress. Weā€™ve both opened up and talked about things we didnā€™t want to. Iā€™ve acknowledged that I work too much and that itā€™s not only one of my character flaws but the main reason I nearly lost my husband.
And the first opportunity I have to prove that he means more to me than any job ever will? I fuck it up.
For a moment, I let myself consider how that night could have ended if I didnā€™t answer the phone.
Likely with me bent over the kitchen counter, one of my knees propped up on one of the bar stools, as Cassian gripped my hips, pounding into meā€”
Cassianā€™s arm tightened around my waist as he shifted in his sleep and I tensed, not sure if he was awake. He murmured something, a sure sign that he was still dreaming, and settled into his pillows, not loosening his grip on me.
His thick erection, nestled into the cleft of my ass, was all I could think about. It made the throbbing between my legs all the more insistent and for a second I thought about touching myself.
What a hell of a way to wake my husband up on the first morning of our vacation.
But then I had a better idea.
I listened closely to the sound of his breathing, ensuring he was still well and truly asleep and then carefully turned over in his arms. It was a slow process, considering the hold he had on me, but after a minute, I found myself gazing into his sleeping face.
Even fast asleep, heā€™s ridiculously handsome, although that cocky tilt of his lips is gone when heā€™s out like this. I lay there for a minute, admiring his beauty, and then he stirs and I freeze. The hand thatā€™s slung around me moves lower, his hand cupping my ass with a content sigh before he starts snoring, softly.
I force myself not to laugh, even if itā€™s adorable, until he shifts again and I can feel every inch of him perfectly against the thin fabric of my nightgown. Mother damn me, I want him inside of me. It takes everything within me not to grind against him, not to take control and give myself pleasure, but this wouldnā€™t be about me.
It would be about him.Ā 
I reach up and brush his hair back with teasingly soft fingertips. His lips, in perfect calm, form the softest of smiles.
With my hands still tucked in close to me, I press my lips to the center of his chest. It's a soft kiss, my mouth meeting his warm, toned skin, but I let it linger. I let my tongue brush over his skin, and then I move my lips to a new spot and do the same. As I pepper his chest with lingering kisses, I run a hand up his abdomen. His body jumps a little beneath my touch, almost like it tickles, and his hand on my ass tightens. My leg is drawn up over him, and now that I can feel his erection against my throbbing clit, I canā€™t stop myself from rocking my hips against him, just to ease the torturous feeling, if only a little. Cassian groans quietly, and I know that heā€™s now awake, even though his eyes are still closed, when his hips rock back into me.
I used to wake him up like this all the time, and he would do the same to me. Waking one another with little, teasing kisses until it escalated into something far more. I miss waking up like this, with him, starting off my day in pure bliss, with a euphoric high.Ā 
He breathes my name, and the second it falls from his tongue, I canā€™t control myself any longer. My mouth trails up the side of his neck until it finds that spot he loves, just beneath his jaw, just below his ear and sucks vigorously as my hand slides back down his hard abdomen. My fingers tease the waistband of his sweatpants, but heā€™s not having it.Ā 
ā€œNesta,ā€ he pleads, yet again, and I nip at his skin, causing him to moan quietly above his deep, heavy breaths. His hips canā€™t stay still, as if his cock has a mind of its own. But he shouldnā€™t have to chase it, shouldnā€™t have to be the one to guide pleasure. My hand slips into his sweats and I take him into my hand.
The second my fingers wrap around his length, he curses.Ā 
I lean back, and his eyes are open, his lips parted. The look full of lust and love and need that he gives me makes me want to mount him right here and now, but this morning is about him. Instead, I pump him a few times, slowly, before pulling my hand out of his pants and just when heā€™s about to protest, I straddle his thighs and yank his sweats down until heā€™s free.
Everything about my husband is magnificent. His face, his hair, his body. And most definitely is cock.
Beautiful, and hard, and absolutely enormous. My mouth is watering as I look at him, at his body Iā€™ve scarcely seen over the past year, at his cock, staring and already dripping precum and practically begging for me to touch it.
Gripping him at the base, I lean in, ready to swirl my tongue around the swollen head, just how I know drives him wild, andā€”
His hands grab my shoulders, stopping me. ā€œNesta, you donā€™t have toā€”ā€
ā€œNo, I donā€™t have to,ā€ I agree, rubbing the head of his cock over my lips. ā€œBut I want to.ā€
He makes a choking sound, but doesnā€™t try to stop me any further.
After almost ten years together, I know his body as well as my own. I know what makes him go crazy and what will unleash him. I know every spot that tickles, what to do that will make him moan and groan and lose control. This morning, Iā€™m pretending I donā€™t. I take my time exploring him, slowly dragging fingers up and down his length, over the ridge of the swollen head, teasing a vein that runs along the side.
Gazing up at him, I grip him tightly at the base and flick my tongue over the head once. As soon as my tongue glides over his skin, his hand is in my hair and he curses violently.
Our eyes are locked as I do it again, and his jaw ticks as he swallows harshly. The fingers in my hair tighten which makes me moan, a sound that drives my husband wild. I slowly work him, my mouth and hand working in tandem. It isnā€™t until his head is back on the pillow, his eyes closed, his breathing quick that I take the entirety of him into my mouth.Ā 
That foul language of his greets me once more, and his filthy mouth does things to me that I have no control of. I keep still for a moment, my tongue running wild before I release him and repeat the motion, again and again, taking him into my mouth, a little quicker each time. His fingers are still tangled into my hair, gripping each strand hard enough to bring on a pleasant tinge of pain. I relish in it, in that pain, in this moment. I donā€™t even realize Iā€™m touching myself until Iā€™m moaning, the sound muffled as I take him in, as I cup his balls with my free hand and give them a squeeze.Ā 
Unable to keep still any longer, Cassianā€™s hips began to writhe beneath me. With one quick buck, I have him fully in my mouth yet again, and I grab his ass to encourage him to repeat the motion.
His other hand joins the one in my hair, but this one smooths it back off my face, making sure he can see everything Iā€™m doing. Gazing up at him, I can tell the second he notices my hand moving frantically, my own orgasm building quicker than I expected it. His eyes grow impossibly darker, fingers massaging my scalp before pulling on the strands of my hair again. ā€œAre you close?ā€
I nod, loving the gravely tone of his voice, rough with sleep and lust. My mouth is too full to answer directly, so I bob my head in time with the fingers plunging in and out of my center.
Cassian tugs my hair, once again. ā€œLet me watch you come.ā€
My entire body feels like itā€™s on fire as my toes curl, that sensation that I havenā€™t felt in so long starting to flow its way through my body. My mouth, my movements, become less fluid and Cassian tugs at my hair again, this time pulling my mouth free of his cock.
Dragging me up his body, his lips crash against mine as his fingers replace mine. I gasp at the feeling of his fingers sliding through my folds, unable to stop the moan as he circles my clit.
Reaching between us, I grip his cock, still slick and wet from my mouth and squeeze as I stroke him from base to tip.
ā€œYouā€™re so wet,ā€ he groans, pumping his hips into my hand, fucking it like he had my mouth moments before. Iā€™m just as desperate for release as he is. Iā€™m grinding into his hand as he expertly works me, thumb circling my clit in time with the finger he has plunged inside me, knowing itā€™ll have me on the edge in a matter of seconds. He bites down on my neck and I moan. ā€œSo wet and so needy.ā€
And then he lowers his head to my breasts.
The blunt edge of his teeth on my nipple sends me falling into utter bliss. I cry out as my entire body tenses, my pussy clenching around his fingers.
Cassian groans low and then I can feel a warm wetness on my lower belly and my hand. Still lost in the orgasm crashing through me, I barely notice as Cassian curses softly, his voice laced with ecstasy.
Then his mouth is on mine again and heā€™s kissing me like Iā€™m the air he needs to breathe, like a man whoā€™s been starving being presented a feast.
My mind canā€™t form a single thought. All I can focus on are his hands around my waist, his mouth on mine, the hunger and desperate need radiating off of him, even though weā€™ve both found our releases. Thereā€™s something far deeper that just happened between us than helping one another orgasm and feel good. A wall has broken down, a barrier has crumbled that has been up for far too long. I feel lighter as he kisses me, as his tongue brushes mine, like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
And when I break our kiss to meet his gaze, I know, without a doubt, that he feels it, too.

Lonely (together) Chapter Two
Harryā€™s POV
I wake up at 5 am, and I couldnā€™t go to sleep again so i go downstairs to the gym. I finished almost 7 oā€™clock. I feed my cat Grey (sheā€™s black) then I ate breakfast and shower before I went to work. Usually I work from eight until five sometimes six pm. I took the elevator to my office, my assistant gave me my schedule and we got through the meetings and dinners i needed to go to this week. I can handle everything at my company, the difficult clients, the precautions, the pressure, but I still hate those fucking dinners with fake faces.
I went out of my office at 6. I have nothing to do for the rest of the night. So i pull my car to her apartment and get out of my car. Since sheā€™s the only one who lives in the building, that means the lights belong to her apartment. I couldnā€™t know what room this is but thereā€™s a shadow moving inside. I keep watching until the lights turn off.
I stayed a bit longer, then got to my place. I keep reading the files over and over again. I searched about all her family members, her parents have no relatives nor does she. I made for myself food and turned on the TV and watched a movie. Itā€™s 11 pm so I went to bed I rarely go out especially since I gave up on dating. Everyone is so boring and only go out with me for my money. For now the only creatures I care about are Grey and Angel. I slept until 6 am and woke up and did it all over again.
I go near her work building around 3 pm act busy while I look around. She passed right away and went to the grocery store. I go right behind her and grab random things. ā€œHi, what a coincidenceā€ am i fucking nervous? Shit. ā€œOhā€ she smiles softly. ā€œWhere do you live? We must live so close to each otherā€ we actually do, it just 10 minutes walking. ā€œNearā€ she mumbled and turned to face me I almost lost it. She wore long pants, the pants so tight on thighs, tempting to bite. The same white shoes and pink crop top so low, I looked at her breasts line and between them a red rose necklace. Fuck me. And an oversize unbuttoned white shirt. ā€œGoing to work?ā€ There is no way I am serious. ā€œHmmā€ she sook her head no. She looked up at me with her wide blue eyes, they were a bit watery and so tired. She bit her lip and turned around and walked away. When we got out I called her ā€œLillianā€ she looked at me sheā€™s an Angel. ā€œcan I have your number?ā€, she walked away without looking back. I wanna die.
Lillianā€™s POV
My heart throbs so hard while Iā€™m walking (running) to my apartment, when I saw him I couldnā€™t breathe. I donā€™t know whatā€™s getting into me. But I couldnā€™t take my eyes off him.
Two days later I have a day off so there I am, setting in the coffee shop and reading. I donā€™t like to go outside but i needed to. Besides this place is not crowded at all. Thereā€™s barely three people.
I was so busy reading that I didnā€™t notice that someone was standing next to me until he said ā€œIs this chair taken?ā€ Green eyes looked down at me with so perfect curls around that beautiful face, so pink lips, and so cute nose. Old band shirt, tattooed arms, a cross necklace, and fingers full of rings, will be okay if I sketch his hands and lips? STOP! .
I shook my head no. He set. I feel my heart beating so fast in my chest. ā€œReading huhā€ he smile at me and god. Heā€™s so gorgeous. ā€œWhat are you reading?ā€ I flip my book and show him. ā€œNever Let Me Go, about what?ā€ I canā€™t breathe, I canā€™t talk. ā€œUm.. ahh- a.. just start itā€ ā€œ you know I watched the movie, it was amazing i am sure you will like itā€ then why you asking me?.
movies? I hate movies. I watched a couple back then when the girls did movie night, and I never liked it. I hate watching TV, the only thing I watch is Barney and the last time I watched it when I moved to my apartment and was too scared so I rewatched. Comforts me.
ā€œWill seeā€ i mumble, ā€œwhatā€™s your favourite movie?ā€ He moved his chair closer to the table and put his cup on the table, black coffee, like mine. ā€œI donā€™t have oneā€, ā€œno way everybody has favourite movieā€ I smiled, i couldnā€™t think of anything to say.
ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½Okay whatā€™s your favourite book?ā€, yes i can answer that. ā€œThere is a lot of, but now I think The Course of Loveā€ looked at my lap ā€œthatā€™s a good book! I read it twiceā€ he said and his smile got bigger. We sit for a couple minutes in silence. ā€œWhatā€™s you do for work?ā€, ā€œwrite short articles..you?ā€ ā€œWhere can i read them?ā€ He asked, where? No where. ā€œUm.. they never been publishedā€ I said and my heart sank. ā€œWhy?ā€ He looked at me expressionlessly. ā€œI'm a beginner, and there are better writers than me who just want me for my ideas and they pay me wellā€. He said nothing. ā€œYou?ā€ I said after a few seconds without looking up. ā€œMe.. I work at a security companyā€ wow he must feel safe all the time andā€” ā€œlet go out sometimesā€ he asked me to go on date with him or wā€” ā€œyou know as friends do?ā€ Oh.. of course he doesnā€™t want to date me who wants? ā€œUm sureā€ ā€œgive me your numberā€ I put my number on his phone with trembling hands, please god donā€™t let him notice. He said See you soon and go out then I took a breath I didn't know I was holding it back.
A week passed and Harry still didn't text me, I was starting to think he didn't want to hang out with me (not that I really want to hang out with a stranger I didn't know anything about or that I'm waiting for him) but he asked for my number! It had to be something right?
It was Saturday and the girls wanted to go out for drinks, I had gotten home from work and hadn't slept so l was feeling a little dizzy. I made myself a sandwich and a fruit smoothie then i drank coffee because I looked like a zombie.
I took a shower and dried my hair but kept my curls then did my make up, deep sharp black cat eyeliner with warm soft eyeshadow, concealer and a light blush, it was going to be a bit hot and my cheeks will turn red so..
I put on some lip gloss I didn't want to wear lipstick because my eyes make up was too much.
I put on a black skirt that went up to the middle of my thighs, with a dark red silk top, I put on red high heels (I'll regret the pain tomorrow) and my red bag. I was wearing my usual necklace and small pink earrings and two rings.
llooked at myself in the mirror one last time. I won't drink but I definitely need to glow a little because my energy has been so low lately.
It was only 6pm but the girls wanted to get out early. I walked to the bar, it was about 15 minutes away. When I walked in it was very warm and loud even though it wasn't very crowded.
I spotted the girls and there were the four guys too. I slowly walked over to them until Joll saw me. "Oh my god you look amazing." She hugged me tightly, a faint smell of alcohol coming from her. The rest of the girls hugged me and then I went with Ami and her boyfriend to the bar to get them more drinks.
I ordered a Sprite with lemon. I'm not a big fan of soda but it made me feel a little better since I don't drink. I sit in the edge of the booth and there was a conversation going on around the table. After about half an hour the girls were almost drunk. I got up and went to the bathroom. I needed to be in quiet place for a moment.
I walked out of the bathroom and on my way out the hallway, a man grabbed my wrist. "You look beautiful" Panic rose inside me and I pulled my hand away and tried to walk but he blocked my way. "Please step away" "There's no chance I'm leaving this beauty" | tried to walk past him but he wouldn't move away until I felt tears about to fall. Only seconds later I heard Meiie's voice "Are you okay?" Her boyfriend behind her looked at me for a second then his hand flew to grab the man's neck
"Did you know how stupid you have to be to bother a woman?"
I moved away until I was behind Meiie then she whispered in my ear "Did he hurt you?" | shook my head no. Then we went to the table again. I tried to recover but my hands were still shaking and I felt the edge of a panic attack but I tried to distract myself.
A few minutes later my phone vibrated under my hand. I lifted it to see and then stopped breathing, distraction itself came into my hands.
Unknown number: Hi.
Unknown number: it's Harry.
Harry: How are you?.
Oh. my. god. My heart is beating so hard in my chest
Me: Hi Harry, I'm fine. How are you?
Harry: Good.
Harry: Are you up for dinner? It's been a busy week, and I'm only free for today.
Harry: If you're not free, that's fine we can find another time.
Oh god what should i say?
Me: I'm out with my friends but we're going out soon.
It was about 7 and the day didn't end yet, but i wanna go home too.
Harry: So you can have dinner with me?.
With me
Me: I think so
30 seconds ..
Harry: Do you want me to pick you up?.
Me: where is the place?
Harry: Location.
Me: It's close to me, i will walk, Thanks though <3
Harry: Good.
I said goodbye to the girls and then left, nervous and adrenaline pounding my body. My heart was beating like crazy and I felt like I was going to die. The panic of the man who had cornered me had gone away but my stomach pain was growing with tension. I looked too much good for dinner with someone who was like a "friend".
I walked for ten minutes until I reached a restaurant. It was a small but fancy restaurant in the corner. I walked in without looking around and headed straight to the bathroom. I closed the door and took a few deep breaths, I looked in the mirror and I was likeā€” I didn't even know what to say about myself.
My skirt was really short, how did I get out of the house in it? I tried to lower it a little and pull my top down a little to cover my stomach, but either my thighs would come out a lot or my stomach or my breasts. For once I regretted not bringing a jacket. I adjusted my makeup a little and tried to reduce it, but the eyeliner was the problem. I didn't wipe it off because it was going to be a mess. I took a deep breath and left. I looked around and saw Harry's back in the corner to the right facing the door. Did he saw me when I walked into the restaurant?
I quietly walked to a table. "Hi" I said in a low voice. I wasn't sure if he heard me. He got up from his seat. "Hi, Lillian." He's wearing a black suit with half unbuttoned shirt, his tattoos almost visible, and the cross silver necklace on his chest, his hair a bit greasy but his curly sit on his shoulders perfectly. And his shiny rings tempt me to play with them, but i look at the table and sat next to him, not facing him. My back to the rest
of the restaurant. I don't know why, but I felt a bit comfortable with my slightly exposed skin now. One person staring at my skin was better than an entire restaurant. I need to pay more attention to what I wear next time.
"I didn't make you leave your friends behind, Right?" | wanted to get out of there anyway. "No" | smiled.
The server came to take our drinks orders. Harry ordered a red wine and looked at me, and I lowered my gaze to the table.
"Water, please," | said, holding out the napkins on the table.
The server walked away and Harry said, "Are you sure? They have great wine, or would you like champagne?" I shook my head. "Thanks," | mumbled. "Where did you and your friends go?"
"Um.. bar" I said quietly, "hm you don't look drunk" I looked at him "I don't drink" The server interrupted us with the drinks and menu.
"How's work?" he asked. "Good, you?" "Today was slow but I got a lot of stuff done so that counts as an accomplishment." | nodded.
"When are your days off?" | sipped my water. "Every Sunday." | said
"One day?" I nodded. "Did you know that's against the terms of any job?" "I signed off on a one-day. No compulsion." I felt the heat run through my entire body from his deep, calm voice, from the prices of the food, from my exposed skin to him, and from the fact that we were talking as if we had known each other for a long time, and also because I was with a person for dinner whom I had only met three times in passing on the street and once in a coffee shop.
There was a good chance he was dangerous, stop it
I didn't feel hungry after flipping through the menu at least three times. There was a caesar salad and pasta.
I had to choose one of the two dishes because it was very expensive and I couldn't afford it, the cost of one dish is the same as what l literally spend on the grocery store for a whole month.
"Are you done?" Harry asked and I nodded. He raised his hand to the server to came over. "What would you like?" Harry said softly. I pointed to the pasta on the menu without taking my eyes off it.
"Caesar salad, chicken salad, two medium steak, two mushroom soup, alfredo pasta, shrimp pasta and margherita" he said to the server.
My eyes were wide open, I couldn't believe it, the restaurant was so expensive. The waiter left and I said to Harry, "Are you sure? You ordered a lot" "You should try it, it's delicious, in fact one of the best." "But I can't afford it." I whispered to him, his eyes narrowed a little and his brows furrowed. "We'll see." He said dryly
We sat in silence for a few minutes, "Did you know that this restaurant has been around for over sixty years?" I looked up to meet his, smiling slightly. "Wow." I smiled to him.
"Did you graduate from college?" I nodded "This summer",
"What was your major?", "English Literature and Translation"
"Interesting. why did you choose it?", "I like reading." Silence again.
"What did you major in?"
"Business."
"How old are you?" he asked after a few seconds of silence.
"Twenty one" My cheeks flushed and I hoped they didn't turn red. "You?" "Twenty seven"
What. the. hell!!!! He's old!
llooked at him for a few seconds, a smile on his face that I hoped would be etched in my memory. My stomach was filled with a strange feeling, and the weather so hot I might pass out.
Then the food arrived in a few seconds.
I came back to reality and realized how much food there was.
I hadn't reached out to eat yet because Harry kept putting some of everything on my plate and on his plate too. Until he was done and then he said, "You okay?" My cheeks burned again, a shiver ran down my toes and I felt heat all over my body, no one has ever put food out like that for me before.
Harry's POV
She was wearing a tight top I could see the edges of her bra.
Her thighs were so full and I feel my pants tingling. She was trembling a little as she played with her necklace and bit her lip from time to time. The food arrived and I put some of everything for her and for me.
We started eating but she was eating so slowly that for a moment I thought she didn't want to eat. But then I remembered when she mentioned it was expensive. "I have an idea" I said and she jumped "Hmm?" Her eyes a little watery
"Dinner is on me this time, next time we can share" she smiled
"please no, we can share, it's okay", "yes next time" I said harshly and her face was a little sad but then she nodded. I immediately regretted the way my words came out.
She started eating a little more and I couldn't help but smile
until my cheeks hurt. We ate in silence, commenting every few minutes about how good the food. She didn't eat much but she tasted everything.
"They have a really nice dessert let's try it"
"Thank you but i can't I'm really full" she said playing with a strand of her hair.
My cock twitched again. "Let me take you home" my voice so low.
She looked at me with sleepy eyes and her shoulders slightly lowered, making her breast line deeper, I looked at her and raised my eyebrows when she opened her mouth to speak
ā€œca- um.. yes please," she whispered.
I paid and we walked to my car. Her eyes looked up as I opened my car door for her. "Is this your car?" She asked slowly "Do you like it?" Her pupils dilated until half of the blue in her eyes was gone. She looked at me for a few seconds and then got in, her skirt rising even higher. My cock was getting hard, I tried to control myself but when I got to my seat, we were so close and quiet, I could hear her breathing and see her breasts rise as she breathed. Her thighs were pressed together and a lot of skin was showing.
The car started and I looked at her face, sweat were forming on the bridge of her nose and above her lips, her forehead was covered by her bangs but I could see some hairs damp from the sweat.
"Where is your house?" "Um, uh, I- close?" | laughed softly "Location?" She flipped open her phone and sent me the location, I looked at it even though I knew the way by heart from the many times I stood outside all night and morning watching her apartment.
"Do you want a specific song?" She shook her head no. I turned on the radio, the volume very low that I still can hear her slightly ragged breathing. Her apartment was about 17 minutes away. I drove very slowly, I didn't want us to arrive too fast.
The silence was so comfortable despite the tense air.
"Um, thanks for dinner, you really didn't have to pay" she said quietly, a tremor in her voice. We stopped at a red light and I looked at her, her cheeks flushed even with the red light on her I could still see her cheeks burning. "It's okay," we looked at each other for a moment.
"Can I ask you a question?" she whispered. "Anything." "I know nothing about cars, but I know this one costs a fortune. How?" I laughed. "I don't give free business advice. But l've worked hard since college. So it should make sense"
She pressed her thighs together again, her fingers trembling as she gripped he bag, her eyes on the window as the light turned green. A few minutes passed and then she spoke. She said quietly and slowly "I want to quit." We stopped at another red light "I've saved up enough money to last me ten months" she took a deep shaky breath "but I don't know if I'll find a job easily in that time. I don't know why I'm telling you, but I don't know what else to do, and you seem to know the right thing to do" she said in a low voice and her knuckles turned white. The light turned green.
"I think you should take unpaid vacation if your work allows it. If not, you could quit for five months at least and then look for a job." We stopped at the door of her building.
We sat in silence for a full minute, until she unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to me, "Thank you, good night" she whispered quietly, not looking me in the eyes.
She got out of the car and walked to the door, her hips moving seductively, even though she was walking tiredly in her high heels. She put the code on the door and entered, closing it behind her.
I returned to the house and opened the door, Grey walked between my legs. I got down to pat her a little bit. "Hey, have you been alone all day? Hm?" I left her and went upstairs to my room, I went to take a shower, my cock was hard as a rock, and the guilt washing over me because it's hard for her, the water washing me until my hand tightened on the rock between my legs. An inhuman sound came out of me as I fucked my hand.
The image of her lips, legs, thighs. I shouldn't think of her this way, but she has been living freely in my mind for over a month, it's unfair, she should be mine. Release and pleasure wash me over until my breathing returns to normal. I finished taking a shower and put on underwear. I went downstairs to get water. It's 11pm so I went to sleep but she's still in my mind.
I stayed up until 2am. Throughout my career I didn't change a single thing about my routine. I woke up at 6am, worked out, showered, breakfast, went to work at 8am sharp. I worked 10 hours, slept at 11pm for 8 hours. In one month I broke all the rules of my day. I stayed up more than 24 hours, I missed half the work day. Not only that, I stayed up all night, leaving work early to see her walking to her apartment. I was really starting to lose my mind.
Please tell me what you think :3

29/7/24
Tumblr media
woke up at 11, scrolled through mcrblr until like 1 when i started writing this. i then used hot glue and safety pins to make a few pins [while listening to isles and glaciers]. one i drew domo on, one saying brokencyde, and the other with the my digital escape logo thingy. i ended up accidentally ripping some of the brown off domo but when i filled it back in it was a completely different shade so he looks a little funky [pics at end].
after i went outside with boris and texted a few people. this lasted up until around 4 because i ended up watching jordan sweeto + more ronnie radke interviews at the same time/afterwards. i knew today was gunna be pretty laid back considering i can never really think of anything to do/i have no excuse to go out and nothing to do even if i did. so i literally just watched reels until 6 until i had some food and contemplated having a nap.
i went for a 30/40 minute walk with mum and dad and then went back home to drop dad off and have a drink before we left for the beach. i typically hate the beach, itā€™s a sensory nightmare, but ive been talking about going when the tides in so i can find some pretty shells and stuff.
i donā€™t know when we left, but it was surprisingly relaxing. i picked up a ton of purple shells as half of the beach was full of them and a few unusually pattered ones that iā€™ll probably post tomorrow, after theyā€™ve been washed. i flipped over a few rocks and watched some baby crabs too. the sea was really calm and it sounded really nice, i donā€™t usually like sound of water but these were barely waves so it was all good. we got back at around 10:30.
after a while of watching tv i overheard that my family were fighting so i checked to see where boris was. long story short the argument escalated and the cat wouldnā€™t come in and went way too close to the road for my liking and i completely freaked out. it took me ages to get him in and i stayed with him trying to calm him and myself down for like 2 and a half hours until my sister finally gave up the argument, and went to sleep. then i comforted one of my moots and asked my parents the questions about boris.
iā€™ve had a stomachache, migraines, hiccups and my chest has been sort of.. spasming the whole day so i attempted to get to sleep a little earlier than usual. i think itā€™s definitely something to do with my eating but i donā€™t want to make things apparent to my parents although iā€™m genuinely in so much pain. im not at all excited to wake up early tomorrow to see my excessively judgemental provision. [my provision is a person i see one times a week (i have two) ultimately instead of me going to school. i have to do education related stuff with them but iā€™m new with this particular person so atm weā€™re just being forced to get to know eachother.]
i said goodnight to boris at 3:14 and fed him his last meal of the day at 3:16. it was super hard because iā€™ve been extra worried about him today especially because of how stressed heā€™s seemed. he was acting like his usual self at this point though which is good, i love cuddling him everyday and everynight. went to bed around 3:30/40

have a good day/night -_<
