The first emotions that ran through your body when you heard his muffled cries were empathy and concern. His form was trembling next to yours, faced etched with fear. Your first instinct was to wake him up.
âSteven, wake up baby. Its okay, wake up,â you said as you leaned over him and stroked his hair comfortingly.
Sweat collected at his brow and his curly hair was a mess at the top of his head.
Your gentle touch to his head seemed to bring him out of his dazed state.
Even in the dark you could see the fear in his expression. He looked around the room alarmingly before settling his gaze on you.
He leaned up on his forearms.
âDarling?... it- the nightmare. Iâm sorry,â he couldnât form a proper sentence as he tried to reel his mind back to form coherent thoughts.
âShh, its okay baby. It was just a nightmare. Sânot real,â
You moved your body closer to his and let him settle his head against your chest as he leaned into you. Your hands made their way to his face and head to comb through his hair.
âIt felt real. You were there one moment and gone the next. It all happened right in front of me and I couldnât do anything,â he explained as he recalled his nightmare.
Itâs obvious he was talking about his nightmare, and you knew the one thing he needed right now was someone to listen to him.Â
âThe thought of losing you⊠its terrifying. Youâre all I have,â he whispers into the dark room.
âIâm here and not going anywhere. You will always have me here with you Steven,â you lay a kiss to his forehead as he closes his eyes for a second.
âI donât think Iâll be able to go back to sleep,â he says sadly.
âAnd thatâs okay,â you exclaim, knowing that he is going to feel bad.
âIâm sorry I woke you up like that,â he apologizes.
âBaby. One thing I know for sure is that you are not going to apologize for something you cannot control,â you make sure his eyes is on yours as you say this to him.
A small smile graces his lips.
âI love you so much,â he says and leans up to connect your lips.
The kiss is soft and gentle.
âI love you too,â you say back as you break the kiss.
You knew that you wouldnât be able to sleep either if you knew Steven could not sleep. So, you opted for making some tea.
âIâm gonna make us some tea, okay?â you ask him as you get out of bed, causing Steven to move off you and lay on his side of the bed.
He lays in bed, staring up at the ceiling when his thoughts begin to wonder to the many times you had helped him in such situations.
You both had been dating for roughly over a year at this point. Having your presence in his apartment felt normal, like this is what his life was meant to be. Having you there in times of need and returning the favor if you ever needed it Before you, he lived life by a schedule, scared to come out of his comfort zone, but the moment he encountered you â that all changed.
He decides to join you in the kitchen, wanting to be near you in that moment.
Youâre facing away from him when he walks into the kitchen. You were pouring the sugar into the tea cups since the water was still boiling.Â
You feel him before you hear him. Steven stands closely behind you, caging you between the kitchen counter and his body by putting his hands on either side of you.
âI donât think I appreciate you enough,â he murmurs into your ear as he lays soft kisses down toward your neck. His hair tickling you as he angles himself to kiss your neck.Â
Goosebumps erupt on your skin as his hands roam your body beneath you sleep shirt.Â
By now Steven has his body flush against yours and you feel all of him.
You feel your arousal growing for him.
âSteven,â you whisper.
âYes baby?â he whispers back with a hint of a smile in his words.
âNeed you,â
In a split second, he turned you to face him and hoists you to sit on the counter, being careful as to not push the teacups over the edge.
His lips are on yours in an instant, he wastes no time, getting straight to the point of wanting to feel you close to him. Youâre pulled flush against his body as he kisses you sloppily in the best way possible.
âFuck,â he murmurs as he pulls away from the kiss.
You look into his eyes and see them filled with desire. You always feel the most beautiful when its him that looks at you. Thereâs just something about the way his eyes look into yours.
âI guess weâre not having tea,â you chuckle as he hooks his arms around you, and you tighten your legs around him. He carries you like this back to the bedroom.

A Dark Slumber
they accidentally hurt you when having a nightmare
Steven Grant
The nightmares only started after the whole experience death and finding out his purpose of living he felt used and betrayed, he couldn't stomach looking at marc for a while let alone talking to you about it but what hurt him most was his mother's death.
You both layed soundly in your bed the only noise was from the fish tank that released bubbles every few moments, it was peaceful well for you, Steven's nightmare started with his leg twitch then to his hands pulling at the covers, he started muttering words no one could understand.
He woke you up when he accidentally smacked you in your face making you squeaked out which made him sit up in alarmed by your noise, he'll look around frantically intill his eyes landed on you holding your cheek and he immediately knew what he did.
The first thing he did was ask if your ok he wouldn't come close to you unless you tell him it's ok, he would feel ashamed and full of guilt and breakdown he would tell you everything that's been on his mind mostly about the nightmares and of the things he saw when he died "i-ive just been so stuck in my mind I guess my feelings were just catching up to me"
Marc Spector
He always had nightmares from his childhood but they've never been this bad, after the countless missions he's done he would think that killing would get easier that the guilt feeling would subside but it never did it was actually getting the best of him sometimes.
You were pretty used to his slight movements and bumps in the night he was a restless sleep it was very rare when he had a peaceful slumber, his hands would grasp the blankets tightly his breathing uneven as he twist and turned.
You woke up gasping as you felt your air way close your hands immediately wrapped around his he would only wake up probly when you gasped out his name, he would immediately release your neck and stare blankly at his hands.
He would quickly raise fron the bed and refuse to get back in, you'd have to coax him back in after nights of him on the couch he would take alot of convincing and time to even touch you again the images of him strangling you crossing his mind everytime he comes into contact with your skin "I don't know what came over me it felt as if I lost control of my whole body it was... scary".
Jake Lockley
He never had dreams only nightmares but that hardly ever happened anyway since he normally stares up at the ceiling as you slept beside him, he'll do anything to stay awake the thought of sleeping repulsed him but it was actually the fear if what he'll see that stopped him.
He only closed his eyes for a minute only wanting a slight rest but that was quick to turn into a long slumber but that miracle turned sour as his body started to flinch and his rapid eye moments were frantic, his body thrashed around kicking the blankets off of him and he squirmed around.
The thing that woke you was when you came into contact with the ground the coldness and shock of the fall caused you to scream making him fling himself out of bed to your rescue but it took him a minute to figure out it was his doing that got you onto the floor.
He would profusely apologize and help you back into bed while cursing at himself in spanish as he took got back into bed, he would cuddle you whispering apologizes and praises while making internal promises to himself that he'll never sleep in your presence again afraid it would be worse next time "I'm so sorry mi amor I promise I'll get better"

"Slut!"
Pairing - Steve Rogers x Stark!Reader Summary - It was perfect. Lovelorn and nobody knows. Love thorns all over this rose. You almost forgot just how hard the fall back to reality is. But if they call you a slut, it might be worth it for once.
Steve Rogers Masterlist | Inspired By Taylor Swift Masterlist
"She goes through guys like a train-"
You immediately change the channel. The next one isn't better. You don't know why you thought it would be.
"The Stark last name and the long list of ex-lovers, that's her claim to fame. I mean, let's be honest here, she's a slu-" The tabloid reporter is abruptly cut off as the screen before you goes dark.
You look up to find Steve with the remote in his hand. He glares at the screen like the reporter was still talking, "You shouldn't be watching that."
"I'm used to it."
"You shouldn't be. It's despicable. They were - the things they're calling you-"
"A slut," you finish for him.
His eyes dart to you, that furrow between his eyebrows getting deeper and deeper with every word spoken, "It's not true. This isn't journalism, it's slander."
You weren't sure how this happened. Sure, it was only a matter of time before they found you out. This wasn't the first time. Not the second or the third either. If the press was to be believed, you were love sick. Love struck with a new man every week.
It wasn't the first time someone called you a slut. It certainly wouldn't be the last.
You stopped living your life in fear of what people would say a long time ago. Being this young was an art. And up until now, you thought you mastered it.
It was simple. You even had your rules. You followed them and no one got hurt - or at the very least, it minimized the damage.
They were going to stare at you. Strangers. Press. The flashing cameras. It came with being a Stark. If they're going to look, you gave them something to look at. You didn't so much as step out on the street with a single hair out of place. You were flawless. Always.
You were nineteen, and on the heels of a breakup with your second ever boyfriend, the first time someone spit that word at you - "slut!" It hurt, but it didn't hurt as much as you thought it would. It almost made you laugh. You realized that they didn't really care about your love life or about the trail of broken hearts you were supposedly leaving behind. They wanted a spectacle. They wanted a show. If you're going to be drunk, might as well be drunk in love.
It was easier after that. You knew the truth. The people around you knew the truth. You let everyone else believe what they wanted. You did what you wanted. You lived your life without worrying about being called a slut. They were going to call you one anyway. And if they call you a slut, you might as well make it worth it.
You gave just enough to keep them satisfied. Never anything too real. Never too much. Just enough that they wouldn't dare peak behind closed doors. Just enough to be able to live your life.
There were was a cost, of course. No one took you seriously. You dealt with the vague humiliation of the rumors constantly swirling about your hips and thighs and whispered sighs.
And though you inherited the Stark genius, no one cared about what you thought, what you had to say.
In that, the reporter was right, your love life was far more interesting than your thoughts on quantum mechanics or the military industrial complex. That was what you were known for.
For the most part, you were okay with it. You were willing to pay it all.
That was until you fell in love with Steve Rogers. Suddenly, you weren't willing to give them crumbs. You weren't willing to expose a love that felt this delicate.
You sit on the couch, huddled in your sweatpants, pensively staring at the blank screen.
This time, it was different. This wasn't a show, not a spectacle. It was real, an exposed nerve that the world decided was fair game. You were fair game and it was open season.
Steve settles beside you, draping an arm around your midsection. He kisses your temple, "Tony thinks it's probably best that you lay low for a while."
"Yes, well, my brother is the expert on PR damage control."
It wasn't the same though. You both knew it. Tony had done far worse with far more women. Yet, he would never pay the price you were paying in this very moment.
Steve's arms tighten around you like he's shielding you from the storm, "It's not right. It's not fair that you're being forced to sequester yourself. You're being punished but what exactly was your crime?"
"I fell in love with Steve Rogers, that was my crime." You fell for the man everyone wanted, the man who was in the wrong place at the right time.
"I'm sorry," he whispers against the crown of your head.
"For what?"
"You warned me this would happen."
It was true. You told him exactly what would happen, but even you didn't anticipate exactly how bad things would get.
You'd been with Steve for just under a year. And up until a week ago, only a select few knew. You both agreed to keep it a secret from the public. You felt protective over the love you shared, it was more real than anything else you'd ever had. You wanted to keep it to yourself, out of the hands of people that would tear you both to shreds without a second thought.
Steve felt the same. Though he was more worried about the enemies he made over the years.
It made sense to protect the relationship, to protect yourselves until you were both ready. You wanted to protect him from what you knew was lurking around the corner. Steve was still so new to the 21st century. Dating in the public eye wasn't easy. Dating a Stark wasn't easy. For almost an entire year, you used every publicity trick in the book - and it worked.
But then, you heard it, the whispers, rumors bubbled about your newest future ex-lover.
You only agreed to going public because everyone told you it was time, because they promised that the timing couldn't have worked out better than this. It was better to do this on your own terms than have it leaked.
No one knew how bad it would get.
"Are you sure? There's no going back after this," you whisper, standing in the hallway of your apartment. You could practically hear the cameras flashing outside your apartment. You'd never been this nervous to leave your apartment before. You'd been through the plan a million times. You'd be exposed to the cameras for a matter of seconds. Happy was already waiting with the door to your SUV open, ready for you to jump in. You'd walk outside holding Steve's hand - a sort of silent announcement to the world. "It won't be easy."
"I don't care," Steve promises, kissing the palm of your hand. "I'm tired of hiding. I'm proud to call you mine."
You tenderly stroke his cheek, "And if it blows up in your pretty face?"
He smiles down at you, "You're worth it."
"We'll pay the price, I guess." But deep down, you know. You'll pay the price, he won't.
The cameras had never been that loud before. Even though your announcement went off without a hitch, even though your publicist couldn't have been more pleased, not even they could have predicted how bad things would get.
It seemed like the whole world was calling you that four letter word.
At first, it was mostly online. People were mean, you knew that. You were prepared for nasty comments. Steve's most staunch supporters thought he could do better. People rejoiced in the spectacle your love life turned into. You were a laughing stock all over again. All that you were prepared for. Then some rabid fans leaked your phone number.
You decided that it would be a good time to disconnect anyway.
But it didn't end there. Not even close.
The day after you were expected to make an appearance for a charity you founded. It was just a quick 2 minute speech. And though the event had been throughly vetted, you'd never forget the way your blood ran cold when mid-sentence someone screamed that four letter word over and over again until security dragged them out. You continued until your speech was done, but there was no hiding the way your hands trembled.
From what you heard, the video was still making its rounds online.
You were expected to make an appearance two days after that. An event honoring your father. An event you poured your blood, sweat, and tears into to make sure it was impeccable, an event worthy of honoring your father. The same event you were practically uninvited from.
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's just me. I come in peace," Tony jokes.
"I'm glad," you sigh. "I was worried I was going to have to get another number."
Tony sighs into the phone, "How are you holding up?"
"I've been better."
"I'm afraid I don't come bearing good news."
"What now, Tony?"
"That event you had Friday night, the one for dad?"
You pinch the bridge of your nose. You already knew were this was going. "What about it?"
"They want me to take over for you."
You bitterly scoff, "This week just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?"
"You say the word and I'll tell them to fuck off."
"No, don't do that. It's for dad."
"You planned this whole thing single-handedly. You deserve to be the one up there." You don't say a word. He's right, you both know it. It doesn't change the situation you've been put in. "You are still going, right? Come on, you have to go."
"They broke into my house, Tony."
"What? Are you okay?"
"Happy just told me," you explain, sparing Tony the most gory details. "The one in L.A. Apparently, it is now covered in spray paint. You wanna guess what they wrote?"
"Where was your security?" Tony demands.
"Here. Trying to keep people off my sidewalk."
"I'm so sorry."
"I just - I don't think it's a good idea. At least until I get more security."
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad you've got Steve there. At least I know he'll keep you safe."
You almost smile. Tony was never his biggest fan, but you mostly credit that to him being an overprotective big brother. And the situation you'd found yourself in did nothing to win Tony's over good graces, "It's not his fault, Tony."
"It kinda is, but I digress. Listen, we'll figure this out, alright? I'll go streak in front of the Tower if that'll take some heat off of you."
And though you effectively doubled your security in the last two days, nothing would change anyone's mind about you. You were the villain tainting their hero.
You broke down after that call, violently sobbing against Steve's shoulder. He just pulled you in even tighter.
It reminds you of why you're doing all this. So you can be together, out in the open. That in a world of boys, he's a gentleman.
You squeeze his hand, "You're worth it."
"I'm not worth having your reputation torn to shreds."
And maybe they're right about you. Maybe you do get love struck. Maybe his eyes are like the world's strongest liquor, and it went straight to your head. Maybe you do get love sick. Sure, your life has momentarily fallen apart. It's magic, madness, heaven, and sin, all rolled into one. But if they're going to call you a slut, it might be worth it for once. "But what if all I need is you?"

Magic
Moon Boys x reader<3
summary: you were married to Jake and after the events of moonknight, the boys get to know of jake and of you. Steven adores you but Marc just sees you as a friend. Right?
A/N: okay the timeline is a bit wonky but here's what i thought while writing the fic. Jake dated you for a year and a half before putting a ring on it. And you've been married for three years. You met Steven and Marc a year ago and have been dating Steven for eight months. Marc became friends with you a month after meeting you. please comment and reblog if you liked it!
Warnings: angst, hurt/comfort
@jake-g-lockley
Marc was a lot of things. Pig-headed, stubborn, horrible at communication, a fighter. But he wasn't arrogant He could admit it when he didn't know something.
But right now he knew one thing and one thing only, that Jake was a prime idiot.
Marc stayed in the background when Jake was fronting around you, most of the time. Not always, of course. He wasn't a perv and one to to intrude between a husband and a wife. But he knew you. So did Steven, and you knew them.
He'd considered you his friend. Maybe one of his best, just months after meeting you. You and him shared many a night after Jake's missions talking and watching movies, when your husband was knocked out. You made him fall in love with chai, something that knocked Steven's socks off and he'd taught you the basics of baseball so you weren't clueless when you watched baseball with him.
It wasn't always so nice.
"You're married?!"
"Yeah, what's your problem with that?" Jake had become defensive, he wouldn't let Marc or Steven breathe a single ill word towards you.
"No, it's no problem at all, pal." Marc seethed, outraged, "except for the fact that I was married to Layla! God what if she almost say you when we were married? No wonder it ended!"
"Fuck off, man. You know full well why your marriage didn't work out with Layla. And unlike her, I told my lady fucking everything. She knows everything, from the cave to the sarcophagus. So she knew what to do and what to be careful of, including you. So don't blame my marriage for the reason yours didn't work out."
This was when Steven had interjected, he was unsurprisingly on Jake's side.
"He's right, Marc. If his wife knows everything then you can't blame him, and it's honestly rather mean and unfair of you to be angry at someone you haven't even met."
It took a few hours for Marc to calm down, and actually, apologise to Jake.
Hesitantly, Jake offered, "Y'know, if you want you can meet her. She practically knows everything about you and uh, Steven's most probably seen her around. She goes to the museum every week."
"Wait a minute! That lady with the Van Gogh tote bag?"
"Yup."
"Oh wow! She's really sweet, and beautiful! Hell, mate. You scored."
Jake had to smile at that, he knew he scored with you. For the longest time he felt like you were too good for him and that someone as kind, clever, intelligent and beautiful as you shouldn't have had to settle for someone like him. But you'd kiss away every ill thought he had about himself and reassure him. Communication was a very, very vital and important part of the relationship and you had helped him learn that it wasn't selfish to voice his thoughts. Especially because he put everyone's needs before his for so long.
"I know, man."
Steven had readily agreed to front and meet you, and Marc was okay with being co-conscious during the interaction as well. So on one fine day, Jake had brought them to the house he considered his home. He worked to contribute to it's rent, and buy things for it and for you. It was home, after all. You were his home.
Marc didn't know what to expect but when Jake had stepped in and hung his jacket on the stand and taken his shoes off, footsteps could be heard running from the main bedroom and he saw you running straight into Jake's arms. Jake laughed wildly, picking you up and twirling you around, much to your delight as you kissed the life out of him.
When he put you down, he could get a clear glimpse of you. Your hair was messy and your t-shirt was rumpled. And when he saw you smile he knew why Jake had fallen in love with you. Why Steven thought you were beautiful and sweet. Verything about you screamed, home.
Your greeting to Jake threw both the boys off, "Who the fuck are you?"
Jake smirked, "The fuck you mean, ma?"
"I mean, who." you poked him once, "are." twice, "you?" thrice and Jake started giggling. Fucking giggling like some little schoolgirl. You laughed too, and hugged him tight.
"Hey, baby." he kissed your forehead and you smiled.
"Hi." you kissed his nose.
"I have two guys who'd like to meet you."he raised his eyebrows.
Your jaw dropped a little, "For real? Wait, you're being serious, you're not screwing with me?"
"Why would I screw with you, when I could just screw you?"
The men in his head and you all let out a simultaneous groan.
Steven met you first, and it went swell, you'd both bonded over history and literature. And a love for Taylor Swift. But that was a secret. You liked him a lot and he positively adored you.
Marc, on the other hand, was much more closed off, he'd be polite, but he'd be curt as well. A combination you didn't know was possible.
After a few weeks of trying to bond with him, resulting in almost a small meltdown. It had taken Jake being knocked out after a mission and being too tired to eat to actually get him to talk to you over a meal.
It was one of the best things he'd eaten in his goddamn life and the groan he'd let out after the first bite brought a laugh out of you.
So yes, Marc would consider you one of his best friends. Steven and you had started going out with each other a few months ago and it was going so well.
But not Marc.
Because he didn't like you like that.
Of course not, you were his friend.
You were his friend who made him laugh because you had the same dark sense of humour. You hugged him when he needed one but was too uptight to ask you. You, who googled the Cubs and learnt everything you could about them just so you could talk to him as well, the way you talked to Steven about Jane Austen and the Indus Valley.
He didn't know when it became something more to him.
And he didn't see how you'd look him at him when he laughed, or when he was focused on the TV, or when he made you tea the way you liked it, Jake had taught him how to do that.
No, to him, you were just his best friend.
And you were currently crying your eyes out because Jake and you had gotten into a huge fight. He'd missed your anniversary because of a mission and he was working with Hathor's avatar. He failed to mention the part where he was forced to pretend they were a thing to prevent being caught and you'd caught him smelling of her perfume and gotten rightfully furious.
Not because of her, but because he didn't tell you that it had been happening for a few days. That the week he'd spent away from you, he'd had to pretend he was someone else's and he was too scared to tell you. That's why you were mad, because you thought he didn't trust you.
You'd raised your voice as he turned his back on you and he turned around, face contorted in rage. Steven tried calming him down as he stalked over to you. You stood your ground, Jake would never lay a hand on you. You knew that. But it was what he said, that broke you.
"You're being a fucking nuisance. Instead of trying to understand, you're being more of a burden by finding shit to get mad at. Grow the fuck up."
That prime ass had the audacity to call you a burden. A nuisance.
And then he had the fucking nerve to leave and complete his mission and give control to Marc. Steven had chewed the fuck out of him and Marc would have loved to as well, but he needed to see you. See if you were okay.
As soon as he stepped in, he saw you on the sofa, rapidly wiping your tears away. You sagged again when you knew it was him. Somehow you always knew.
He furrowed his eyebrows at your disheveled state. Your eyes were swollen and wet with tears and you were breathing very heavily and in quick spurts.
"What do you need?" Marc asked you, sitting down beside you.
"C-can I have" you coughed, "a hug, Marc?" you said in a small voice, looking away.
Marc immediately moved to hug you close. Shushing you when you began to cry again.
What hurt was that he knew, and Jake knew, and Steven knew that you hated being a burden or an inconvenience to anyone. And today, the one man you trusted the most in this world had made you feel like that. And he couldn't even apologize.
'Jake you fucking idiot.' he rocked you a little, 'you better come out and fix this. she may be our friend but this is because of you, fix this.'
Jake remained silent in the reflection of the mirror next to the door. He looked wrecked at seeing you sob, and tears were falling down his own eyes.
'Mate.' Steven spoke up, he sounded mad, 'You made our girl cry. Stop being a fucking coward and fix this!'
When he was met with silence, Steven seethed, 'Marc, gimme the body.'
You knew exactly when it was Steven hugging you, and you kissed his cheek and breathed him in.
"Oh, love." he tried to comfort you, "I'm sorry. You're not a burden, I promise you." he kissed your forehead.
"I know that, Steven. I know I'm not a burden to you. I'm scared I'm becoming one to him. He doesn't even want to look at me!" you sniffed.
Steven glared at Jake in the mirror, who was wiping away his own tears.
Steven and Marc knew why Jake was so worked up. They knew that whoever Jake and Hathor's avatar was after called their bluff. They knew that those people had found the woman's partner and Jake was terrified for you and he couldn't even tell you because he never, ever wanted to be the reason for any feeling you had that wasn't bliss, happiness, content, or pleasure. And because he was sure he could find those assholes and beat the living shit out of them for even thinking of harming you.
But it wasn't their place to tell you, that much was apparent. Jake dug his grave, and then jumped into it. He had to crawl out of it on his own now.
"I just want to be someone he's happy to be with." you whisper and that's when Jake straightened up, heartbroken.
"Give me the body, hermano."
"All yours."
Only Jake scrunched the back of your shirts when he hugged you and you moved to hug him tightly as he whispered apologies in your ear.
"Baby, I'm sorry, I'm so fucking sorry I made you feel like you were a burden and that I was anything but fucking delighted to be with you." he kissed your nose and then told you everything. Looking away because he was scared.
"I didn't tell you at first because I didn't want to just say that I had to pretend I was dating someone else and then fuck off for a week. I made a mistake in assuming that'd you get mad and it's because if I was in your place, I would be. But you're stronger than me, tesoro, and I failed to see that and I'm so sorry."
"Baby, I forgive you." you replied and he breathed out a sigh of relief, "But please, don't keep stuff like this in, okay? You can trust me, you know that."
He nodded fiercely and then he kissed you. Noses nudging and lips parting as he breathed you in like you were his lifeline, and he yours. He cupped your face and held you tight against him and when he pulled away you smiled at him, your eyes shining.
Steven fronted again with a little smile and you kissed him lovingly with a whispered 'i love you'. He just winked at you and kissed the back of your hand and then your forehead again before Jake took back control and carried you to the bed, kissing you deeply all the way.
----
Marc was fine, no he just needed a glass of water. He'd carefully rolled off the bed, thankful that he was at least wearing sweatpants and padded to the kitchen.
He should have known that you were a light sleeper.
"Marc." you began, your voice raspy.
He hummed in reply and held out his glass to you. You accepted it and drank your fill, giving it back to him.
After a few more moments of silence, you spoke up, "I thanked Steven for comforting me. But I didn't thank you." you cleared your throat, "Thank you, Marc." you said, sincerely, "You're one of my best friends."
Marc smiled at you. Actually smiled. And you smiled back and kept going, "And Jake and Steven know this and are okay with it so I-"
"You don't have to thank me, honey." he patted your shoulder, trying to conceal his tears as he looked away because god he was dumb. Dumb enough to realize now, that he loved you, "I'm glad I'm your friend."
To him, you were everything. You were sunrays and moonbeams and everything that he believed was magical as a boy. Everything he stopped believing in as he grew up. The first time you made him laugh and joined him he felt sure that magic existed after all, because what else could you be?
He tried walking past you but you held his hand and he froze, tears streaming down his cheeks.
You walked over to him and held his face in your hands. His eyes shut as you wipe away his tears. And he whimpered as you kissed his forehead.
"Marc. Open your eyes and look at me." you said softly.
He was terrified. That you'd seen past his mask and were going to let him down gently. Because to you, what could he be? Certainly nothing more than a friend.
"Sweetheart. Please."
When his eyes finally opened, they met yours.
"Marc. I fucking love you." you confessed and he let out a sob. Pulling you into a tight hug.
"I love you. God I love you so much, Sweetheart." he says into your hair, kissing all over your face, but not your lips.
"Can I kiss you?" you asked him, looking at him with those beautiful eyes of yours.
He nods and your hands travel to his locks and pull them lightly as you bring your lips to his own. Humming sweetly as he wraps his arm around you and licks into you.
Yes, he reasons yet again as you hold his face in your hands and smile at him, magic does exist. And it's in his arms. He loves it and so do the men in his head who cheer for him, albeit sleepily, looking at you lovingly.
And they'd never let you go.

Not beta read
You notice him one day.
 A year into your relationship and Marc is fed up with Steven and yours overflowing books on the floor of the flat. âWe need another bookshelf.â He grumbles at your suggestion because he would just get rid of some if he had the choice.Â
 Thatâs how you find yourself curled up on the couch with some tea and ironically a book while you watch Marc put together the new shelf you and Steven picked out.Â
 It was ornate with cherry wood accents and came with a miniature ladder to help you reach the top shelf. You didnât think it would be too complicated but it seems as Marc stares at the pages like they are ancient hieroglyphics, you may have caused a bit more of a headache than you intended.Â
 He mutters something incoherent under his breath ïżœïżœdĂ©jeme verâ. You donât bother to ask if he needs help when the scowl on his face deepens even further into an almost unrecognizable version of your boyfriend.Â
 You glance up occasionally to watch the way his back strains against the tight black t-shirt, or the way his ass looks in his jeans when he bends over. Marc and Stevens movements are so unalike and yet even now the way he stands up and straightens as he rolls his neck is so unlike Marc.Â
 You stop ogling to resume your book and find yourself several chapters in when you look up to see it finished. âOh honey, it looks so good.âÂ
 The look he gives you when he turns around is more of a smirk of amusement. You glance down briefly to mark your page before standing from the couch to inspect his handy work. You donât notice the way heâs watching you as you slide your hands along the smooth wood shelves. You grab a few of your favorite books that were piled on the floor and strategically place them in some specific secret order that no one but you is privy to.Â
 You turn to him and wrap your arms around his neck, waiting for him to scoop you up as he usually does. His hands hover hesitantly at your waist and then he pulls you flush against him. You almost have no room to breathe as you chuckle lightly into his neck. You swear he smells your hair before he abruptly lets you go.Â
 âHi love, do you like the bookcase?â Your sweet Steven has a slightly wild look in his eyes as waits for your response.Â
 âOf course I do, we picked it out together silly.â You lean in and kiss him on the cheek and he relaxes at your touch. âIf youâre listening Marc, I love it, since you disappeared on me.âÂ
 âRight yaâŠMarc. He says you're welcome.âÂ
 ****
 You notice one day
 You had spent all afternoon preparing a special dinner and dessert for Marc. The flat is adorned with candles and smells of fresh pasta and apple pie.Â
 When Marc walks through the door you can see it written all over his face. He doesnât say anything about you making his favorites because technically itâs not his birthday. Itâs the day after.Â
 You enjoy each other's company in comfortable silence as you wait for him to finish. He raises an eyebrow at you as you hand him a small box, unwrapped because then itâs not a birthday gift.Â
 He opens it slowly to reveal his watch that broke months ago, the small hand ticking away right in front of his eyes.Â
 You should thank her mate
 She didnât need to do all this for my birthdayÂ
 Well itâs technically not anymore is it?Â
 He doesnât say anything but you decide to press on with your plan. Even if itâs not exactly the reaction you were expecting at the very least heâs not protesting it.Â
 âI have one more thing.â You stand from the table and head to the kitchen to retrieve the apple pie on warm in the oven. To you itâs just a dessert, a non cake related dessert that just so happened to be his favorite. Steven helped you with the vegan crust because he was not about to let Marc have all the fun.Â
 You return to the table with a slice and a fork to share. He stares at it for a moment and your heart sinks a little.Â
 âI know what youâre going to sayâŠâ
 He cuts you off before you can finish, he stands so suddenly it startles you. He kisses you slowly at first, savoring the way you moan into his mouth. His hand is on the back of your head and the other around your waist and it feels so different. Itâs like youâre sending him off to war and this is the last kiss youâll ever share. Your lungs burn from lack of air but you donât want to be the first one to break.Â
 He pulls away as you look up at him. His eyes are squeezed so tightly shut as he tries to catch his breath.Â
 âHoney,look at me.âÂ
 His brow softens as he opens his eyes revealing that deep chocolate brown, with a look that could only adorn your sweet Stevens face.Â
 âThank you, love.âÂ
 ****
 It goes like this for a while. You noticing himâŠhim noticing you.Â
 You notice as You quirk your eyebrow at him in the kitchen when he picks out the tomato on his sandwich and drops it in the trash like it personally wronged him. Â
 âI thought you liked those?âÂ
 He notices After a long day at work in shoes you know weâre too uncomfortable he picks up your feet and places them in his lap. He rubs them at first bordering on painful that settles into something soothing. His fingers brush the bottom of your feet and you flinch at the ticklish feeling. He tsks at you under his breath and you still your movements when you meet his unfamiliar eyes.Â
 You notice When he doesnât hear you enter the flat. Heâs at the kitchen sink washing dishes, shirtless in those gray sweatpants you love. Heâs humming some tune youâve never heard as you place your things down and toe off your shoes. You didnât mean to startle him as your cold hands met his side and he turned quickly knocking a glass off the counter.Â
 âMierda quĂ©date ahĂ!â You donât speak Spanish but youâre too stunned to move anyway. He grabs you with one arm around your waist and carries you like a duffel bag over to the couch away from the glass.Â
 âSorry love, clumsy me. Iâll get this cleaned up.â Steven doesnât look at you as he grabs the broom from the closet.Â
 ****
He notices when he slinks in through the window in the early hours. Itâs still dark outside as he strips himself of his moon knight clothes, the blood only distinguishable on his hands. As he slips past you to the shower he can see your shallow breaths while you lay out flat on the bed.Â
 After a while you feel the bed dip beside you as you try to calm your breathing. He wraps his arm around you as he pulls your back flush to his chest. His breath is hot on your neck and you can feel his heart beating rapidly against you.Â
 âYouâre a terrible faker mi amor.â Your breath hitches in your throat as he speaks the words into your ear.Â
 âYou have to slow down your breathing if you want to pretend to be asleep.â His voice a low growl as he places his hand on your chest. You can feel him take slow deliberate breaths as you try to match the rise and fall of his chest. âasĂâ
 âThis isnât how you lay when you're asleep.â His hand leaves your body momentarily and you miss the heat of his touch. He grabs your thigh behind the knee and pushes it gently until itâs bent. His hand slowly guides you to your stomach while his other arm supports the weight of your head.âes mejorâ
 He envelopes you under the blankets and it takes all your willpower not to roll him over and straddle him. You donât even know him. He buries his face in your neck and sniffs again inhaling your scent. Youâre practically skin to skin in your satin slip dress and his bare chest and boxers.Â
 âIs this okay?â His voice barely above a whisper as you nod your head. His lips ghost over your back before he kisses your shoulder. Itâs those soft sleepy kisses adorning your body until the real sleep claims you both.Â
 ****
 You awake to the feel of cold sheets beside you as you feel around for him. A sliver of light hits the room from the bathroom door slightly ajar.Â
 âI swear to god Jake, if you fuck this up.â
Jake -he has a name
 Itâs mostly Marc speaking idle threats as you listen in to a one sided conversation. Whatever his reservations may be, it's none of your business. You do know that he would never do anything intentionally to fuck this up.Â
 Your boyfriend exits the bathroom still dressed only in his black boxers. âLoveâŠwe need to talk to you about something.âÂ
 He sits on the edge of the bed as he rubs circles on your legs under the sheets.Â
 âI know.âÂ
 They knewâŠitâs why they canât be mad when you finally talk about the stranger. You fell in love with him a long time ago. The one they tried to keep a secret. He no longer wanted to be kept in the dark. He loves you too much. This stranger in your house.Â

Come Back to Me
Marc Spector/Steven Grant x F!Reader
Summary: Mark leaves on a mission for Khonshu while you deal with a confrontation of your own. Unfortunately, this particular foe is aware of your specific skill set and uses your weakest spot to deliver a fatal wound. Laying there defenseless and abandoned, your final desire is to speak to the love of your life one last time.
warnings: ANGSTTTT!! (the fav), character backstory, flashbacks, character death, reader wound, sadness, despair etc etc, cliffhanger
masterlist!
âM-Mark?â Fuck. Fuck. Your voice was wobblier than you had expected.
âBaby?â You heard some shuffling. âWhatâs wrong?â
You pulled the phone away to clear your throat. âNothingâs wrong, sweetheart. I just wanted to hear your voice.â
Despite your assurances, he wouldnât be fooled. âIs everything okay?â
âYes,â you breathed. âYeah, I just wanted to talk.â
The pain was spreading from your side, crawling through your torso like deadly vines. It was nearly blinding. Pulling the phone away from your mouth, you tried to steady your breathing.
This isnât how you wanted to go. Whimpering in pain and regretting every decision that got you here.
No. What you wanted was to hear your loverâs voice one last time. The warm timbre of his essence. Your favorite sound in the entire world.
âAre you sure youâre okay?â He pressed. âWhere are you?â
Your man was nothing if not stubborn. âYes, baby. Iâm okayââ you really werenât. âWhatâwhat did you do today?â
Marc sucked in air through his clenched teeth, gripping his phone with white knuckles. âIt was meant to be a surprise, but Iâm coming home for a few days⊠our leads havenât gotten us anywhere and Khonshu believes we just need a comfortable place to think.â
You wouldâve scoffed at that if your chest and throat werenât on fire. Khonshu believes?
The big bird knew what Marc would be returning to. He knew you were lying in a pool of your own blood.
The thought sent a surge of panic through your body, even as the pain was beginning to overwhelm you. âNo! Uhâum youâ youâre already so close. W-what are you stuck on?â
Tears welled in your eyes, it felt like a blazing iron rod was being shoved into your chest and dragged up slowly until every organ could feel the flame.
It was silent on the other end for a heavy moment, before Marcâs deep voice hesitantly spoke your name. His tone lifted, suspended in question.
A shake courses through you, fear beginning to blossom in the pit of your stomach. The last thing you wanted was for him to panic⊠and now youâre beginning to panic as well.
You werenât ready.
A sob broke through your lips before you could stop it. As if you even had the strength to.
âMarc,â you sobbed, turning your head to gaze at the phone beside you. As if it would give you one last glimpse at the love of your life.
His breathing picks up frantically. âWhere are you? Tell me now.â
On his end, fabric is wrapping around his body at a faster rate than it ever had before. He could feel the strength of Khonshu enter him, the godâs presence filling the void.
The corners of your vision darkened and just when you thought youâd scream from the painâ it was gone. Miraculously, you felt nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Your heart dropped.
âIâm sorry,â a daze washed over you. There was nothing else to do but wait. A forlorn smile graced your paling face. âIâm so sorry, baby. There isnât much time left.â
âWhat time?! Stop this shit, where are you? I can make it there as soon as you tell me.â
âThereâs not enough time,â you pressed. You were coming to terms with the distant bright light that was supposed to be illuminating your vision.
You wouldâve wished that that was what you were seeing as you drifted off, but one wish stood above all the othersâ
Your desire to be with Marc and Steven.
You barely notice the frantic yelling on the other end of the line before youâre cutting it off weakly.
âIââ you go to clear your throat but the numbness had spread too far now. âI love you. Every part of you, baby. I justâ I just wanted to hear your sâsweet voice one last t-time. Okay? I love youâŠâ
The last word died on your tongue. And the darkness had taken over before you could hear Marcâs broken response.
A strangled yell left Marcâs lips. His stomach was knotted. The shadow of Khonshu appeared in his peripheral vision.
But Marc was rooted in his own grief. His lips were quivering, snot mixing with salty tears as he bared his teeth, shaking from the pure emotion of it all.
Why wasnât he home? He had vowed to protect you, shield you from the horrors of the worldâ his worldâ but it wasnât enough.
He couldnât be there all the time, and youâd always reassured him that itâd be okay. That you didnât feel like you constantly had to look over your shoulder, you didnât want Marc or Steven to spend every second of their life protecting yours.
Itâs his fault. God, the thought made him choke. Hands flying up to grasp at his throat as if he could stop it from tightening. Itâs all his fault.
Maybeâmaybe itâs not too late. Maybe, just maybe, youâre alive.
He could still feel Khonshuâs presence over his shoulder. âTake me to her.â
Itâs silent. The wind breezing past his ears, the serenity of the night sky brazenly mocking his wild panic.
âNow, Khonshu!â He spun around quickly, voice wavering in rage.
If it hadnât been for the Godâs power over him, Marc wouldâve been with you. The only person who truly matters to him in this world.
By some beautiful twist of fate, Khonshu unexpectedly relents, nodding his giant head in the direction of a portal.
Marc couldnât find it in himself to thank him, everything else had faded away until all he saw was your mangled body on the other side of it.
His feet took him across the rooftop at an immeasurable feet, practically flying over the distance, until his surroundings had changed completely.
âNo,â he cried, dropping to his knees painfully. Shards of glass pierced his skin as if he werenât already bleeding out with you. âBaby? Baby, wake up. Wake up!â
Your body was lifeless in his arms, and the embrace felt strange, nothing like how youâd lay in his arms at night. Fingers gripping his necklace loosely, head tucked into the crook of his neck⊠legs tangled with his as if your bodies were one.
Blood left a trail from your nose to your chin and shaky hands went to wipe it away before pausing in midair to hover over your faceâŠ
âLove?â
Bewildered, Steven nearly gave himself whiplash as he snapped his head away from the sight of your bloodied body.
And despite wanting to run away, his hands tightened around your frame, his lungs failing.
Everything burned, his chest, his stomach. God, his arms and legs were going numb.
And where Marc couldnât go, Steven went.
Denial.
âLove, come on,â his head has turned to you again but his eyes were squeezed shut. âWake up. The gag has gone long enough.â
No response. Your laughter wasnât shaking your frame, your voice wasnât reassuring him that itâd all been a silly, cruel joke.
âLovieâŠâ he knew how much you hated the name and despite it, absolutely nothing.
Werenât you going to argue? Playfully punch him in the shoulder as you giggled at him to never call you that again. Werenât you going to put on that half-assed angry frown that you always did before smiling and pulling him to your lips?
Werenât you going to kiss him and tell him everything would be alright?
His heart dropped with the realization that you already had.
You already spoken those words sweetly and heâd dismissed them, twisted them into something rageful when all he shouldâve done was pulled you into his arms and never let you go.
âSteven,â you tried, grabbing onto his hands with an unusual hint of desperation. Almost as if you knew something he didnât. âSweetheart, itâs going to be okay. Everything is going to be alright.â
The sincerity in your eyes practically sparkled or maybe that was just the pure love that you felt for him. But it didnât get through to him this time, instead his panic and anxiety twisting his words and actions into something else.
âHow can you say that?â Steven stressed. âHow can you be so positive all time?! Consider the possibility that maybe sometimes youâre just wrong!â
His soul shattered when he realized⊠it was the last time heâd ever hear those words.
He hadnât believed in them and now this happened.
Steven forced his eyes to open slowly.
In the pale moonlight, your face was still as beautiful as the first time he ever saw you.
It was early in the morning; the sun was barely over the horizon and the streets of London were not all too busy for this hour.Â
Thankfully for Marc, the little coffee house that was nestled in the array of buildings on Russell Street was practically empty. Save for the steady stream of customers who would fly in and out with a streaming cup of coffee or tea in their hands.
But tucked in the corner of the large window seat was you.Â
Exactly as heâd seen you in his numerous hours of laborious research. Hair tucked behind your ears, oversized round glasses slipping off the tip of your nose, lips tucked in concentration, a loose sweater hanging off your shoulders.Â
There was a sense of tranquility about you. A stillness despite the bustling customers mere feet from you.Â
A girl immersed in her own world; a utopia all within the threads of your pale green sweater, the gentle sway of your feet under the table, the hint of a smile at the corner of your lips.
How odd it was to find such astounding beauty in someone you knew everything and nothing about.Â
Because in your little world, you may have been closed off from the reality around you, but an open book to anyone who cared to look.Â
And Marc couldnât see why anyone wouldnât.
He just hated that he had to be the one to shatter your universe.
âExcuse me,â Marc said when he finally worked up the courage to enter the shop. âDo you mind if I sit here?â
Then you looked up at him and he knew it was a sight heâd remember for the rest of his life, an image that would flash behind his eyelids whenever he closed his eyes.
Your eyes piercingly studied his through your eyelashes for a long moment. The hint of a smile was gone.Â
âSure,â you eventually smiled brightly.Â
A dazzling smile that kept him rooted to the spot a little longer than necessary.Â
Thankfully, you didnât seem to mind it. âYouâre American?â
Marc finally sat down next to you, gripping his chocolate muffin tightly. âActually, Iâm from Chicago.â
If your chuckle was charming, he couldnât imagine your laugh.Â
âWhich is in America, if I recall correctly.â
âYou do, it is... in America.â God he needed to work on his social skills. He felt like a bug under a microscope. Partly because of your particular line of work, mostly because youâre the most beautiful woman heâs ever laid eyes on.Â
You shut your book softly. âWhat brings you to London?â
Marc was sure you wouldâve shut him down by now, questioned his intentions or tried to put his ass down. But you were graceful, serene... Seemingly not worried at all about his intentions.
If heâd asked, you wouldâve told him that you had a keen eye for vibrant souls. His being one of the brightest youâd stumbled upon.Â
âUh, work,â he replied unconvincingly. âWhat about you? Youâre a fellow American yourself, arenât you?â
âWhat gave it away?â You were teasing him.
Maybe he could hear that laugh again after all. âYour accent and the whole sweater thing youâve got going on? Practically screams California.â
Your laugh was surprisingly booming, genuine. He found himself smiling at the sound of it.
It canât be this easy to fall in love with someone you just met.Â
âItâs New York actually,â you corrected between fading giggles. âClose enough.â
Embarrassment tinted his ears red. âItâs not.â
Smiling widely, you shook your head in agreement. âItâs really not.â
Itâs silent for a few moments and just when Marc thinks youâre going to open your book again, you speak softer than before.Â
âIâm assuming you sat in my little corner for a reason, Mr. Spector.â
The gravity of your simple statement uncharacteristically flew past his head. Instead, he was a little more focused on trying to hear that twinkling laugh again.Â
âWhatâre you doing?â You rose an eyebrow, watching as the man wildly looked around the space you were occupying. From the two adjoining walls to the wooden round table.Â
âLooking for any indication that this is in fact entirely your corner. So far I see nothing except...â There was no way he wasnât making a fool out of himself but he was in too deep to stop--
The pin suddenly dropped. Â
âI didnât tell you my name.â
A nonchalant expression adorned your face. âPeople like you donât seek people like me unless they need something.â
His brain short-circuits.Â
âPeople like me...â Marc repeated, his voice lifting slightly as if almost in question.Â
âIâm aware of every single entity within my range whom fit the qualifications of a very secure database. Yelena Belova, Alexei Shostakov, Spider-Man who happens to be around on a school trip...â you listed idly, twirling the little stick that was stained with your hazelnut coffee. â... Marc Spector.â
The rose-colored glasses were slowly slipping off. His years of servitude under Khonshuâs hand began to harden his exterior until he could finally look at you as a threat. Just to be sure.Â
âWhy would I be on that list?â
You motioned toward the untouched muffin. âAre you gonna eat that?â
âWhy would I be on that list?â His jaw clenched.
âWell, why wouldnât you?â You take a sip. âMoon Knight is an incredibly promising prospect in the eyes of those who protect our world. Youâre incredibly powerful.â
Marc scoffed. Is that what he was to you? A potential business deal, a recruit?
âBut it doesnât really matter to me anyway.â
His eyes shot up in interest. The corner of your lips had turned up again.
âI donât work for any agency anymore,â you explained. âIâm just a girl with an incredible skill set and impressive resume.â
âHumble much?â
There was a knowing twinkle in your eye. âOnly when I need to be.âÂ
Your stares met with a shared interest. As if you two were really seeing each other for the first time.Â
To Marc, your beauty was astounding, ethereal. He could only hope that youâd choose to stay in his life.
âI did come for a reason... I have a mission and I could use someone with your specific skill set.â
âYou need help.â
âWell, I didnât say that exactly--â
âItâs what you meant,â you narrowed your eyes playfully. âThankfully, Iâm a woman of the people. But why should I help you?â
âIâm backed into a corner. Iâm just trying to do things right in the best way I can. But I need you to trust me.â
âTrust is gained, Spector.â
âThen allow me to earn it.â The mercenary countered.
You allowed your eyes to look over him. At his open grey button up, his ironed white shirt and black pants. His ebony hair, brushed away from his face, sprinkled with a hint of grey. The scruff on his jaw and the brown of his eyes.Â
Falling in love with someone you just met canât be this easy.
Your resolve crumbled and you knew he was going to be in your life for the unforeseeable future. The fluttering in your abdomen pulled you in before you could stop it.Â
Not that you wanted to.Â
âSo what does this mission entail?â
Slowly, a genuine smile curved Marc Spectorâs lips, one that you reciprocated with a blinding beauty that made his heart nearly stop.
And as he walked out of the coffee shop that morning, your number scribbled on a note that was neatly folded in his pocket, there was a sudden change... brief but enough for Steven Grant to suddenly find himself on Russell Street. Confused and a bit frightened, but only for a quick moment--Â
Until he turned his head and gazed into the large coffeehouse window...
To see you for the first time, with eyes that had adoringly gazed upon yours for hours.Â
And the sight was like a breath of fresh air, filling his lungs with something he didnât quite know he needed.Â
The close-lipped smile that spread from cheek to cheek behind the fist of your closed hand, idle strands of hair that fell to cover your joyous expression, the simple rise and fall of your chest...
And between the moment that he saw you and Marc reemerged to front, Steven Grant couldnât help but wonder who had made your eyes light up in that way.Â
Steven Grant wondered if he had the chance, could he make you happy?
But he couldnât see the light in your eyes anymore. Eyelids rested over those effervescent eyes and a part of him finally shattered.Â
âIâm sorry,â he whispered brokenly. Bringing your forehead close to his, his lips tenderly touched your warm skin. âIâm so sorry, love. Iâm sorry.â
Softly, as if to not disturb you, he reached for your hand, catching a glimpse of the fading paint job heâd done on your nails before he left last week.Â
âI-I-I canât, I canât. Iâm sorry. Iâm so sorry.â He couldnât breathe anymore, gasping against your body as he tightened his embrace.Â
Acceptance.Â
With a shudder, Marc kept his eyes closed despite the sudden switch.Â
This way he could imagine that you werenât dead, you werenât cold and lifeless. No, you were alive. Finally squeezing in a nap between your tireless research, hours upon hours at the computer, hacking databases and trying everything you could to help the boys.Â
Yes, yes, he could take a moment to indulge in that fantasy.Â
Because once he opened his eyes, it was finally over. Marc Spector would have to live without you.Â
âHow wasteful...â
That pent-up anger reared its ugly head. âWhat?â
If he wasnât holding onto you, Marc wouldâve committed violence against the god.Â
âTo let such a valuable asset go would be a pitiful waste,â Khonshu drawled from behind his avatar.Â
Marc shook his head at the audacity. âI donât want to hear this. I--I donât want to hear this.â
âPerhaps you do, Spector,â the god insinuated. âFeel the warmth of her skin... look at the color beneath her skin...â
This was cruel. âNo...â
âYour grief may be premature--â what? â-- her fate lies in no oneâs hands but her own.â
He finally looked up. âStop with the riddles. What the hell are you talking about?â
âJust as I once appeared before you, the goddess Isis requires an avatar. Your lover is still in the fight between life and death.â
Deception was a skill Marc was certain Khonshu had mastered but yet, he found nothing but the truth in his tone. He felt the godâs sincerity.Â
Shock stilled his body, mouth slightly open as he stared into the night sky and then slowly back at you.
Despite his aversion to serving a god, the only thought running through his mind was the desire for you to come back to him.
In any way, heâd have you.Â
Otherwise, neither he nor Steven would make it.Â
âThis is up to you, baby,â Marc whispered into your hair. âBut fight. Please... fight. Come back to me.â
Please.
Come back to me.
The voice bounced off the walls of the chamber, echoing until it faded away.
It was the voice that would always bring you back.Â
âYou have a choice to make,â a different voice reminded you, sweet and smooth. âBe my apprentice and help me restore the world to what it once was.â
You were on the tip of the iceberg, held back from what youâd seen Marc and Steven deal with for years but itching to get back to the broken man that was begging for you.Â
âWhat does that even mean?â You groaned.Â
Isis gave you no further explanation than what sheâd told you before. You glared at her for another moment before feeling a phantom pain shoot across your body. Well, metaphysical body.
You realized youâre running out of time.
âSo I do this or what? Die? I love how you all deal in absolutes,â your snark was still intact. âAny room for negotiation?â
The Goddess of Magic and Fertility towered over you, mighty with large wings that spanned the length of the golden chamber. Eyes that pierced into your soul, quite literally, and a beauty that wasnât made to be seen by mortal eyes.
It was easy to tell why. Such beauty was captivating, breath-stealing and enough to send any man or woman to their knees.
But yet here you stood, slightly annoyed and about three feet under.Â
Unamused, Isis blinked expectantly.Â
Please... Air caught in your throat. Baby...
The decision suddenly wasnât hard at all.Â
And it seemed as if Isis knew it as well.Â
âWill you be my apprentice and help me restore the world to what it once was?â She repeated.
The other half of your soul was missing and you knew how to soothe the agonizing pain for the both of youâŠ
âYes.â

---
Marcâs POV
Itâs your laugh, that soothing, sweet sound â so inviting that he wants it to soak right into his skin. When he hears it, he holds it close to him, making sure he doesnât miss a single note. Letting it replay in his head until the next time he sees you.Â
Marc has never considered himself a funny guy â or hadnât for a while. He never had a reason to joke around, a reason to smile or laugh, but then there was you.
So now he tries his best to incite that laughter, if only for a mere taste of your sweetness.
Heâs equally addicted to that view. The sight of soft lips parting into a bright smile, your shoulders shaking with each stilted breath, your eyes glistening with unerupted joy; a bliss that heâs craved to know since the day his brother passed. And itâs genuine.Â
Everything about you is genuine.Â
Then, when you come down from the laughter, you look up at him with a ghost of a giggle still thrumming in the air, still tugging at the corner of your mouth. He canât help but stare back, wishing this moment could last forever.Â
Itâs just you and him, nursing sweating bottles of beer on his ratty old couch, the TV running quietly in the background as you unconsciously lean closer as the night progresses. He plunges into that gaze wrapped in innocent moments and admiration, a look that whispers unspoken sentiments and unattainable promises.Â
You are looking at him, yes, but you also see him.Â
He feels it wrap around him, a warmth that reminds him heâs worth being around, that you want to be there with him. It sparks a revelation within himself that if he could make you laugh, or even look at him the way you do, maybeâŠbeing him is ok.Â
And maybe he wants to stay.  Â
But then thereâs that smile â no, not your usual amused grin or the bashful one he attempts to lure out whenever he gains enough confidence to tell you how pretty you look â the cherry-red lie thatâs specially curated for Steven.Â
Itâs a mask you use to preserve your friendship, to convince the oblivious man that youâre happy for him even when your side of the bond is crumbling, struggling to stand up straight.Â
The first time Marc saw that smile was from the reflection in his apartment.Â
He usually doesnât stir or interfere while Steven is fronting, unless thereâs an emergency of course, but there was a pang of energy that woke him up. And now heâs wondering if it was you.Â
He watched broodily from the fish tank; jaw clenched tight as Steven sat in front of you holding your hands in his. He knows he shouldnât be jealous, but he canât help the ire burning low in his chest as he watches you position yourself closer to Steven, eager to hear what he has to say.Â
Marcâs eyes drift from your hopeful face to your joined hands.Â
He wonders how that feels: to hold your smaller hands in his, to squeeze them just so as to remind him that youâre real and there with him, to feel you squeeze back and run the soft pads of your fingers over his callouses.Â
Your softness smoothing over his jagged ends.Â
You like it â the touch. Stevenâs touch.
He can see it.Â
But youâve always liked it when Steven gives you physical affection, even if it was all platonic. Youâd lean into him, practically craving it, eagerly presenting yourself to his hand. And heâd give it to you, merely enjoying the closeness you offer him â nothing more.Â
Your eyes are wide, and you lean in, listening intently, but at the same time, youâre not hearing a thing. Marc can see that youâre lost in Steven, a feeling heâs often had around you.Â
The giddy comfort you felt from his touch instantly dissolves as he continues to speak, âAnd we kissedâŠâ You lean back from him, quickly covering your reaction with a blank expression. Marc can see right through it.Â
Needless to say, Marc also isnât too happy hearing about Stevenâs escapades with his estranged wife; Heâs always been protective of Layla, but now more than ever. Layla had once been his rock, keeping him grounded as life attempted to sweep him away. She was the only person he trusted for a while, the only one he could lean on and hold whenever he wanted to give up.Â
Because of that, he left.Â
Too much of a great thing can only lead to a horrible ending.Â
Right?
He convinced himself he did it because he didnât want her to get involved in his life of violence, of his life as an avatar. She was always getting dragged into business that wasnât hers, used as bait to lure him out of the shadows, and Khonshu was starting to hint at making her his next avatar.Â
That is a reason, a sound reason, but he can admit now that that wasnât the main reason. At some point, Marc realized could never love her the way she wanted him to.
When he first felt it, he couldnât shake it. He was forced to face it until it utterly consumed his thoughts, until he could taste it hanging from each word, turning every whisper into a sour void. He felt unworthy of her affections and ashamed that he continued to take and take, drinking in every last drop of warmth she could supply. Anything to numb that looming darkness that threatens to drag him under the bloody viscous waves of his past.Â
And all he could give in return was surface-level words and cool kisses. Guilt dripped from his embrace and soaked against her soft skin, and he knew he had to pull away.Â
Steven, the lovesick puppy, was completely oblivious to what he was inviting her back into: danger, violence, and an unspoken truth.
Marc should be jealous that his wife and alter are continuing to fraternize behind his back, or angry that Steven went against his wishes and welcomed her back into his life, but heâs not. Mostly, heâs nervous to face what he wasnât strong enough to do, scared that heâll continue to push it away until it swallows him whole.Â
Then thereâs you.
Your eyes are glassy and empty as you nod robotically as Steven rambles, lost in his own words. â...the most brilliant woman Iâve ever met.â Your hands attempt to retreat from his and Steven doesnât notice, but he does.Â
The audacity of Steven to talk about this stuff to your face astounds him. How can a man who shares his body be so clueless? So stupid to not see whatâs right in front of him, offering herself for any ounce of attention he shows.
âI love her.âÂ
And there he sees your heart shatter.Â
âThatâs great, Steven. Iâm so happy for you.â
â
All he can do is stare back, eyes taking in your swollen lips and wrinkled clothes. Your bodies breathe together, catching a breath as you process what just happened. Thereâs a voice in the back of his head urging him to pull you back in, to drink the ambrosia of your lips until you melt against him and beg for more, while he still has the chance. But he knows that if he were to move the spell would be broken.
And he was right.
When the stare breaks so does the moment. You clumsily slip off of his lap and sit back on your side of the couch. His hand hovers over your figure as you move away from him, a ghost of the touch he once had on you, desperate to stop you from leaving him. Fingers grip painfully into his palms as they curl into a fist of frustration and loss.
You both sit there for a second. Itâs easier to think when your bodies are pressed against each other. When you arenât tempted to lean in for one more kiss.
This wasnât supposed to happen, he wasnât supposed to get this far.Â
Ever since meeting you, heâs tried his best to keep his distance, to watch you pine for Steven from afar as he harbored his own longing for you. Marc never believed he deserved it, you, always taking three steps back before he could touch a perfect thing. Before he could ruin what was already breaking.Â
Heâs supposed to be detached from real life, from anything outside of his work. Heâs convinced himself that he was okay with letting you go, even promising Steven he would give him complete control of the body once he was done with Khonshu. But now he doesnât think he can. He canât leave you.
Marc finally builds the courage to look over at you.Â
Your eyes are closed, not squeezed shut, just closed. The soft glow of the TV pools over your body. You could probably feel his eyes on you so you begin to talk.Â
âIâm confused.â
âConfused.â He repeats with a soft nod, letting the word settle in his mind.
He doesnât know what else to say. Of course, youâre confused, this whole night has been a series of bold actions and heated words. One second youâre having a pity party at your crushâs flat and the next youâre crawling on top of his alter. You still havenât had time to really go through your emotions.
âYou like meâŠâ You finally look at him, brows furrowed as you navigate through your thoughts.
âI do.â
âAnd I like StevenâŠâ He frowns at that but nods. You both know it, thatâs how you ended up here in the first place. â..And Steven likes Layla, but youâre stillâŠmarried?â
He sighs, âItâs been over for months, sweetheart.â
âWell, arenât we a group of lovers?â You joke.Â
Neither one of you laughs.
Deep brown eyes meet yours, âI meant what I said. Steven is blind if he canât see whatâs right in front of him.â
âI-I donât know where to go from here.â
He places his hand on top of yours. And you let him.Â
âStayâŠâ He didnât mean to say it out loud, didnât mean to say anything at all, but when heâs with you, he feels out of control.Â
He sees the little furrow of your brows as you digest the implications of his suggestion. Stay and forget about the consequences. Stay and pretend it's just us. Stay and let me love you. Â
âMarc ââÂ
He interrupts you before you can finish your thought.Â
âFor tonight.â He just isnât sure heâd be able to take what you were about to say. If you could stay like this, even for one more night, just you and him and the memory of that embrace, he thinks, maybe heâll be okay. Even if you leave him in the morning. Even if you run away from what could have been. âItâll be easier to understand after a night of rest.âÂ
You stare solemnly at the edge of the couch, âYeah.â For a moment he holds some hope that heâll be able to hold you tonight and sleep like everything is right in the world. But then you gently slip your hand out from under his. âI should probably go though.â His palm burns. You push yourself off the couch in search of your discarded jacket and shoes.
âYou can crash here,â He feels desperate. Youâre slipping from his hands and heâs frantically grasping at the evading warmth. âItâs late and thereâs more than enough space in this flat.â He wants to reach out again but heâs afraid youâll reject his touch this time.
âSteven has work tomorrow morning.â You say sheepishly as you slip an arm into your jacket. Of course, youâd know Stevenâs schedule. âHe needs to wake up earlyâŠand it would be awkward to find me on the couch.â As if heâd let you sleep anywhere but in his arms.
âOk, but I should walk you home.â
You tug at the bottom of your coat, flattening it onto your body. âItâs fine,â You look back at him, hovering by the door, âReally, Iâm fine.â He doesnât miss how youâve switched from talking about the situation to yourself.
He murmurs your name, not knowing what he can say to make you stay.
âMarc.â You echo back, voice soft and â tired. âI guess Iâll see you later.âÂ
â
âWhot was that?â
Steven didnât wake up for work the next day. In fact, he didnât âwake upâ at all. Marc did. He woke up around 1 pm with a throbbing headache and a loud, berating British man yelling at him from the inside out.Â
After you left, he sat there in silence and moped, hoping youâd stop in the middle of your commute home and realize you wanted to come back to him. You didnât. Once he received the âgot home safe.â text from you, he decided to drink whatever was left in the fridge before passing out. Heâs regretting it now.
âSteven, please.â He presses a hand over his forehead, trying to soothe the ache as he blearily stares at the mess of empty bottles from last night. âNot right now.â
âNot right now?! You snogged my best friend!â
âOh, come on.â Marc tugs on a shirt before making his way to the bathroom. In the small cheap mirror, Steven stares right back at him, a disgruntled glare burning right into his skin, âYou werenât going to do it.â That makes him blush.Â
âIfâIf I had knownâŠâ
Marc tries to ignore him, splashing some cool water on his face to wake himself up. How can Steven even complain about it when â âWait â how did you even find out?â
âI saw herâŠâ He says uneasily, âpulling away.â
Marc groans into the towel as he dries off, âYou were there? How much did you see?âÂ
âItâs not like I planned for it! Iâm not a perve or anything, I was justâŠpushed to the front all of a sudden!â Shit, he mustâve gotten too excited. âI tried to leave as soon as I got there.â
âFor the record, I wasnât planning on any of that happening either.âÂ
âWhy would you do it then? Youâre going to confuse her.â
âConfuse her? Steven,â He shakes his head, âSheâs obviously in love with you and you still wave whatever weird relationship you have with my wife in her face.â
âWell, hold on a minuteââ
âGo back to sleep, Steven.â Marc walks over to the couch, longingly staring at the spot he was in last night. âI gotta clean up.â
â
Your POV
Your hands nervously fiddle with your phone, opening, closing, and reopening your messaging app. You stare at the text you sent last night:
âgot home safe.â
You actually got home 15 minutes before sending the text, but he doesnât need to know it took you that long to type out 3 words. Itâs crazy, you tell yourself, how many texts you drafted, edited, and deleted before hitting send. What if he doesnât want to hear from you again? What if Steven gets it instead of him? What if he thinks youâre being clingy just because you shared one kiss? One, blissful, enamoring, show-stopping, kiss?
He hasnât answered it yet.Â
Read 1:56 am
Which is fine. Youâre fine. Itâs only 3 pm and Steven is probably still at work, so he hasnât had a chance to text you back. Itâs fine.
You hate the way your heart skips a beat when a typing bubble comes up. Fuck, did he see your pathetic attempts to text him earlier? You quickly exit the app, not wanting to expose yourself if he sends the text and you immediately âreadâ it. The phone vibrates abruptly in your hand as a banner drops from the top of your screen.
âHey đ€ ! ââ Already from the emoji use you can tell itâs Steven, ââWanna meet up for tea ~4:30? Letâs go tâŠâ
You let out a sigh. You know you shouldnât feel disappointed. Steven is your best friend and you love hanging out with him, but thereâs this anticipating giddiness when you think about Marc. The feeling you used to have about StevenâŠ
Itâs crazy how one kiss can flip your life so completely. Not just that, but how fast you went from mourning the chance of one relationship to melting into the development of another.
You open up the conversation. You really should talk to him.Â
âokay đ«Ą iâll meet you there'
---
a/n: sorry this took so long (literal months). i had half of this written for a while and was so sure i'd get it done within a few weeks, but then I let it sit in my drive until I picked it up TODAY and finished it lmao.
so most of this chapter delves into marc's thoughts before and during what happened in the first part, some of steven's thoughts + the aftermath of the kiss. i know a lot of ppl wanted a confrontation between the reader and steven, but I didn't want to rush into it when we don't even know how marc really feels ab the reader :3
i thought it would be interesting if steven found out about the kiss through marc (and I also didn't know how to write out the reader admitting it to him) bc that's how marc found out ab steven breaking the readers heart. i also wanted to explore how the reader is grappling with her feelings towards the two guys!
i def want to write more, but I can't promise when the next part will be out. I'm a notoriously inconsistent and SLOW writer, so bare with me. thank you for all the support on my angsty journey and I hope you enjoyed this chapter <3

Too Late.
~ gif not mine credit to owner ~
Pairing: Steve Rogers x fem!Reader
Summary: Y/nâs Steves girlfriend and sheâs been taken by Hydra, will he get to her in time? Will she want to go with him if he does?
Word count: 2,237
Warnings: angst. cheating. nat and steve are terrible people. pregnancy. miscarriage. tiny mention of being sick. swearing. ending is terrible sorry.
A/N: women arenât failures or less of a woman if they have miscarriages, unfortunately and sadly itâs a natural thing.
Part 2
Masterlist
Why he kept doing it was beyond him.
The first time it happened both swore that it was a mistake, second time was a mistake too. The third time was to blow off steam from a rough mission. The fourth time, a mistake.
Now theyâve lost count of how many mistakes thereâs been.
They know thereâs been too many âthis is the last timeâ before they end up in the same position.
Even though he knew what he was doing was wrong he just couldnât stop.
When he woke that morning he knew he had fucked up. In the whole time that theyâd been fucking he never fell asleep, he always headed home afterwards. He never once woke up with her in his arms. This was intimate, something that they didnât do. It was just sex. They barely kissed, it was rough, he barely touched her other than her hips or his hand on her head as he pushed her face further into the pillow, further away from his mind - from his guilt.
Finding his phone he jumped up out of the bed his heart in his throat at the 22 missed calls and the one text message. He made her have a number that she would send to him for emergencies. For when she wasnât or felt safe.
He received the number 4 in-between the many missed calls.
âShit, baby pick up.â He chanted as he picked his clothes up off the floor and shoving them on in a hurry.
âSt-Steve?â A womanâs voice came from the bed.
âGet up. Somethings wrong with Y/nâ
âShitâ
Natasha took the sheet to cover herself as she rose from the bed, her too putting her clothes back on in a hurry.
Steve ran out of the room finding the team in the kitchen, Natasha soon following. âH-has Y/n called any of you? Somethings wrongâ
Receiving a chorus of noâs his heart plummeted in to the depth of his stomach. Not giving any thought to it he took off running to the garage.
Speeding through the busy streets Steve kept trying to ring Y/n, heart rate going through the roof every time he heard her voicemail. Not even parking the car he jumped out and ran up to their apartment, Bucky and Sam quick on his heels.
âNo no no no noâ the door was open halfway.
âY/n? Baby, Iâm homeâŠâ he tried, Bucky and Sam swore they never heard Steveâs voice sound so small.
Taking small steps into the apartment he has shared with his girlfriend for the past three years he felt like he couldnât breathe.
The grey couch was tipped on its side, cushions once nearly placed on said couch now lay on the floor. Pieces of glass from the photo frames they had hung up, littered the ground. Trinkets and ornaments belonging to Y/n, that took her ages to get a nice collection going was broken on the floor amongst the mess.
But thatâs not what caused him to loose his breath, no, it was the small puddle of blood in the middle of their living room, droplets leading to where he stood and behind him.
Bucky made his way around the wall that was Steve and did a sweep of the apartment in signs of his best friends girlfriend. Sam took off in the direction of where Bucky was calling his name. Five minutes later they both emerged from the bedroom, Bucky holding two things in his hands.
âS-SteveâŠâ
âWhat are they?â
âA phoneâŠand um, aâŠa pregnancy test.â Bucky stuttered out, his heart pounding violently.
âW-what does the test say?â Nat questioned quietly from behind Steve as she stood with the rest of the Avengers.
âIt-its positiveâ
No one moved as Steve hunched over and puked up.
Just as he was about to stand the phone started ringing. Bucky answered and put it on loud speaker.
âYouâve been a naughty boy Steven so we took your girlfriend. You have less then⊠ten hours to find her, hopefully she wonât be too mad at you. Hail Hydraâ the voice on the other end of the phone chuckled darkly before hanging up.
âWhat the fuck is going on?â Tony demanded.
âI-I donât know, we need to find her. I canât lose herâ
âWeâll find her donât worryâ Nat says as she put a comforting hand on his arm, Steve looked at her hand in disgust and yanked his arm away as if she had burned him.
âDonât. Ever. Touch. Me. Again.â Steve growled in her ear quietly, even Bucky didnât hear.
Her head throbbed, her whole body ached and was sore when she finally came to.
âAh youâre awake, finally. Iâm Conrad and Iâll be here to help you through this very tough timeâ
âW-where am I?â
âWith Hydra darling. Believe it or not but youâre safe, I promiseâ
âReally? You pricks attacked me and you want me to believe you when you say Iâm safe?â She chuckled with a head shake.
âI know, that wasnât suppose to happen but we didnât realise that one of Captain Americas girlfriends was so feisty, well we knew one was but not youâ he says.
âW-what are you talking about?â
âOh didnât you know? Weird. Steve has another girlfriend. You know her, Natasha also known as the black widow.â
Her heart cracked but she didnât believe him, he was a member of Hydra for Christ sake. âYour lyingâ
âHold on. Matthews turn the screen on and letâs show our guest where her hero is.â
The bright light from the tv screen she hadnât even noticed was there, nearly blinded her. Conrad told Matthews to press play, her soul felt like it had died.
There was her boyfriend on six years thrusting in and out of her best friend.
âT-t-turn it o-offâ
âNo. Look in the right corner where his jeans are, open your eyes and do it Y/n.â
Complying with his order her eyes slowly peeled open and look where he had told her. There on the floor was the jeans she had brought him when he needed some new ones, every few minutes there was a flash.
âWant to know what that is? Itâs you, you was ringing him when we came knocking. You was running and hiding ringing for him whilst he was fucking another woman. Matthews fast forward to the best partâ
The footage fast forwarded and she saw Steve sleeping and Natasha climbing out of the bed, going to his jeans and picked up his phone she saw all the missed calls but instead of doing anything she put the phone down on the bedside table and climbed back into the bed.
âSheâs not very nice is she? She knew you needed him but she didnât care, thatâs not a good friend is it?â Conrad mocked with a chuckle. âD-do you want a drink of water?â
The change in his tone confused her, one minute he was mocking her then in the next he sounded worried.
âH-here, take slow sips. Itâs just water, look Iâll take a sip.â He says âsee, itâs okay I promise.â
âW-why are you doing this?â
âIâm helping you. Iâm not really the bad guy in this Y/n-â
âWhy?â
Just as Conrad was about to respond Matthews ran into the room âtheyâve arrivedâ.
âAh show timeâ.
âWhere is she?â Steve demanded clutching his shield tighter.
âSheâs here, didnât think youâd find us so soon Cap.â Conrad says from where he was stood, a grin on his lips.
âWhere is she?â He repeated.
âBring her in, nicely I donât want any more harm coming to herâ
The team watch as the door comes open from the left side of the room and Y/n came through it with two Hydra agents by her side.
âDoll-â
âHow long.â It wasnât a question but more of a demand.
âWhat are you talking about?â Steve questions.
Instead of answering him she turned to the others âdid you guys know?â
âKnow what?â Tony asks.
âDid you know that Steven was fucking Natasha?â
Both Steve and Nat flinch as she calls them by their full names. Natasha slowly backed up as the team looked at the pair.
âD-Doll whatever theyâve told you is a lieâ
âI saw it with my own two eyes. How longâ
âDoll-â
âA year.âÂ
Steve and Natasha spoke at the same time.
âAâŠyear?â
âIt was an accident Y/n/n-â
âDonât call me that Widow. A year isnât an accident, did the rest of you know?â
All shook their heads at her question.
âY/n please, it was a mistake I swear! She means nothing to me.â
Before she could respond Natasha spoke up âI meant nothing to you?â
âNo. Please Y/n letâs go home, your pregnant babyâ
âNot anymore Iâm not. I was two months ago but I lost it, I remember ringing you all night begging you to come home but you never answered a single phone call. Probably with her.â She quickly wiped the fallen tear from her eye as she remembers that night.
The night where her happiness had left her all alone on the bathroom floor, panic raising by the second. Ringing her happinessâs father just for him not to answer, blood flowing down her legs and hands that shook something fierce. She begged and begged for them to come back, promising that sheâd do better and be the best mum she could possibly be.
Sadly her happiness had gone away.
Numbly she cleaned up the evidence of her failure, placed the baby onesie she had brought as a present to tell Steve that he was going to be a dad - back in the box it came in, she put the positive pregnancy test in the box along with the sonogram and then neatly placed them in another box, pushing it right to the back of her side of the wardrobe.
Over the next two months whenever she was alone she would take the box out and talk to the sonogram, telling the tiny bean that she loved them. She knew she should of told Steve but she had no idea how to bring the conversation up, she couldnât bare to see his face light up when she said she was pregnant just to see it fade away when she told him that she had failed as a woman and that it was no longer with them.
To her she was protecting him by keeping it away from him.
âBut it doesnât matter now does it? You guys can fuck off now.â
âNo no Y/n please we can figure this out-â
âNo. Thereâs no figuring anything out. You betrayed me, you! I didnât do anything wrong! You donât love me no more? Break up with me! You wanted to get your dick wet by some bitch that wasnât me? Break up with me!â Her voice got louder as she went on stepping further towards him, standing in front of him she felt sick at the devastating look in his eyes.
âI asked Conrad to kill meâ she smile sadly at him âyou guys need to go now-â
âY/n baby please Iâm sorry, I can be bet-â
âDonât humiliate me even more please, Iâve wanted this for a while now so please just leaveâ
Steve opens his mouth but shuts it quickly when the agents of Hydra points their guns at him and his team.
Y/n walks back over to Conrad who leads her through the door they came through. The last thing the Avengers hear is the deafening bang they were all familiar with.
In the two years that had passed since he lost Y/n, Steve stayed far away from Natasha.Â
The team had only recently begun talking to the pair again, they had lost a friend and to them it was Natashaâs and Steveâs fault.
Steve missed Y/n more than anything, sleep didnât come easy to him not now not when the memories of his betrayal was always there as a constant reminder. Not when all he remembers is the pure devastation look in her eyes or how her hand glazed over her stomach when she spoke about their baby that they lost - a baby that he did not know anything about.
He had no one to blame other than himself for every time he hears a gunshot heâs transported back to that day he lost everything. Lost his world.
On the other side of the world in a woodland area away from the civilised society sat a lonely small farmhouse, surrounded by a large fence to keep the farm animals inside.
Y/n emerged from the wooden door with a small smile on her face, dressed in her dark blue dungarees that wore a deep green stain on the knees.
She didnât lie when she said she had asked Conrad to kill her and he had agreed, when they went into the hallway she had fully prepared herself for the bullet to come, to end her life instead the bullet zoomed past her head and lodged itself in the wall.
âIâm not going to kill you Y/n, I-I want to help you leave but you need to stay quiet okayâ
âWhy are you doing this?â
âIâm not much of a bastard, come on we donât have longâ
Now in the two years since she had left she finally felt at peace, she found herself.

STEVEN GRANT / MARC SPECTOR / JAKE LOCKLEY
â°â†18+ none of these stories belong to me! this is a masterlist of all the moon knight boys stories iâve read and reblogged! just thought it would be nice to have them all in one spot! (if your fic is on here and you wish not to be, please let me know!) some will have summaries if provided <3
MASTERLIST âą OSCAR ISAAC CHARACTERS âą 05/26/24
moon knight one
moon knight three
@laaundromat     ⌠building love     Steven has unconsciously set himself up on a date with his crush.
@storiesforallfandoms     ⌠how things are     now that theyâve learned how to share the body, they must come to terms with the fact that they also have to share their wife
@little-worm-grant     ⌠uncomplicated     Deep down you knew Jake wouldnât be calling if he didnât think he needed you. Or maybe thatâs what you told yourself to make it more tolerable to be out of your warm bed at this hour.
@mccn-bcys     ⌠just a touch of your hand part 2 part 3     when you turn eighteen, an ink stain appears on your skin wherever your soulmate touches you for the first time. the boys each are dealing with their stain in their own way.   ⌠sensual pleasure?     your friends take you to the museum but you never were interested in the history. Until your friend introduces you to a cute gift-shoppist who gives you little history lessons. Suddenly, a ring sparks becomes a little more than a cool item he showed you.
@missdictatorme     ⌠open my eyes     Jake and Steven were more than happy when you agreed to be in a relationship with them, but Marc barely fronts when you're near. Will he warm up to you over time?   ⌠third ones the charm part 2     Jake Lockley was fine. Really. Marc and Steven are happy with their girlfriend and he's okay staying in the shadows. He's used to staying in the shadows. He managed to stay hidden from the boys for years, but lately something makes him take control more and more. Or rather, someone makes him take control more and more.   ⌠the thin line     Steven and Marc are literally glowing with happiness since they were in a relationship with you. Jake is mostly annoyed and is constantly trying to make you leave. Marc and Steven are having none of it.     ⌠forget me not     You and the boys (uhmâŠ) decided to break up after the fights became more and more frequent in your relationship. Marc was mostly disappointed, Steven was sad and Jake⊠Jake was bitter. And angry. So when you send them a text weeks after the break up to ask them to collect their remaining stuff from your apartment, maybe Jake isnât happy when he sees you might have moved on.
@wysteria-clad     ⌠our little thing     you have a specific thing with each of them. It's not like you don't do it with other two, but you do enjoy a little act of intimacy that is special to each of them.
@m00nsbaby     ⌠the already over series     ⌠weightless     The feeling of being trapped goes beyond the ankle bracelet that keeps him tied to the bed.
@bruhstories     ⌠canonic jar     marc is exasperated by you, but he needs to behave because you're steven's girlfriend.
@eyelessfaces     ⌠formal wear
@bensolosbluesaber     ⌠the jake problem part 2     Jake hates you. Like really hates you, which wouldnât be a problem if you werenât dating Steven and Marc. But maybe, just maybe, Jake doesnât hate you.
@starryeyedstories     ⌠talk deity to me     Youâre an Egyptologist invited to the museum to give a talk to a group of school kids, and Steven might have a bit of a crush on you.
@juneknight     ⌠dozing     A man falls asleep on you during your bus ride to work.Â
@januaryembrs     ⌠i should have been there     Marc had always carried her with him, since they were small kids playing pirates in the yard, before things got messed up by grown up feelings and burdens. It's not until he sees her twenty years later, he realizes he should have saved her.
@redeyerhaenyra     ⌠sleeping beauty     After having sex with Jake, you both fall asleep in your flat. Only, it's not Jake that wakes up, it's Steven.
@writefightandflightclub     ⌠shadow of a doubt     marc was first. steven was second. khonshuâs never going to love you. âŠand youâre wondering if jake will ever get there at all.   ⌠no fish were harmed in the making of this meet cute   You have a dilemma. You donât want to sell the man any more fish. But you do want him to keep coming back to your shop
@bits-and-babs     ⌠chocolate     After weeks of pining for your coworker Steven Grant, sharing chocolate over a late shift causes sparks to fly.   ⌠bumpy ride     The handsome man who you see on your commute to work every day is always on your mind.
@spctrsgf     ⌠cake
@thatsthewrongwallcraig     ⌠a night at the museum     After asking you out, Steven invites you to a private tour of the National Art Gallery.
@thatredheadwriter     ⌠on the mat     Youâre Marc and Stevenâs âguy in the chairâ for lack of a better term, helping them with all things techy. When you get injured trying to help on a mission, Marc decides you need to learn how to take care of yourself so it doesnât happen again. Gym training with Marc turns into something else entirely.   ⌠mine     The suit, the suit is amazing. Honestly it is. But you canât help but be the slightest bit annoyed when it erases the marks you leave all over him. Lucky for you, Stevenâs more than happy to let you have another go.     ⌠outnumbered     Youâre Laylaâs adoptive sister, and Marcâs former lover. Being reunited with both of them stirs up some old feelings, but that gets pushed to the backburner when youâre severely injured during a fight. But things tend to boil over when theyâre left too long, so what happens when you have some time alone with Marc.
@ivystoryweaver     ⌠spectre series     Marc Spector and his alters Steven and Jake have lost the love of their lives. They each try to move on, in their own way, but getting over you is the hardest thing they've ever faced. Marc starts to see you everywhere - he's haunted by your memory. No, literally, why are you sitting on the end of his bed? He believes in ancient deities, seeing how Jake still serves one as Moon Knight. But ghosts?
@asimplearchivist     ⌠first kiss     there was no possible way that you could have romantic feelings for steven. right?     ⌠sad ending     you and jake enjoy having movie nights, but he has the habit of spoiling the endings for you. this time is different, though.   ⌠speed dating     you're down in the dumps about the disheartening lack of prospective romantic partners interested in initiating a long-term relationship with you. your ever-helpful coworker amy decides to give you (and a highly interested would-be suitor) a nudge in the right directionâjust not in the way you might expect.   ⌠is that my shirt?     you and the boys have a set of rules. jake doesnât like it when you break them.
@luc-k-y     ⌠stop looking at me like that part 2     ⌠anything for you
@campingwiththecharmings     ⌠insomnia     Steven can't sleep and you, uh, help him out.
@peterthepark     ⌠each time you fall in love     you play mercenaries with marc. you play lovers with jake. you play house with steven. you suppose romance comes in all forms of their differing love for you.
@ofstarsandvibranium     ⌠to the rescue     showing up on Stevens date from the first episode
@oddballwriter     ⌠unexpected addition     Steven and Marc know about Jake's existence and they have been trying to get used to him and get to know him, and during a mission where they need help they found out Jake has been having like a long term relationship with the reader (who is Sekhmet's avatar)
@sailorkamino     ⌠hospital bed confessions     As long as Jake can remember he's only had Marc and Steven to protect - then you came into the picture. Jake is scared to admit just how much you mean to him until you're injured, then he can no longer hide his feelings.
@angel-of-the-moons     ⌠a rose under the moon     You've waited your whole life to meet your soulmate. You just didn't know your soulmate was so close by, all this time. But...How the hell can you handle being thrown into a world full of gods and magic? You're just a shopkeeper! Why is your heart being tugged by three different threads?
@psithurista     ⌠stuck       You stop by Stevenâs place one night after work. Somebody else answers his door.
@reallyrallyauthor     ⌠the coffee incident part 2 part 3     No coffee in the morning leads to a mystery for Marc, an apology from Jake, and guilt from Steven.   ⌠paying your debt     Moon Knight saved your life, and now you're Marc Spector's glorified assistant. But when you pick him up one night after a fight, you get to feel the suit first hand, and what he keeps underneath it.     ⌠free lunch     You're teaching Steven how to drive, but heâs so tense that you absolutely have to get him to relax first   ⌠cupcake man     Jake helps his favorite bartender out w/ a problem they canât solve themselves (which I like to imagine is Jakeâs #1 all-time favorite hobby)  Â
⌠bad girl      Jake has a smoking kink, and a way for you to indulge him without consequences.     ⌠a friend     You and Marc Spector have a purely physical relationship. Both operating in societyâs gray area, you try to avoid conflicts of interest. But when youâre hired to steal an artifact from a London museum, you wonder if even Marc himself knows all of his secrets.     ⌠museum date       Marc gets set up on a blind date at an art museum     ⌠slow songs       Your friend, Marc, pretends to be your boyfriend at a wedding, but is it pretend?     ⌠here we go series
@bit-dodgy-innit     ⌠the shape of youniverse     A full blown AU of forging a life and family with a post-Khonshu Moon Boys thatâs as heartfelt as it is filth.
@the-little-ewok     ⌠tilt part 2 part 3 part 4     Steven Grant wants to tell you the truth about why he missed your date, but it isn't Steven you meet...Â

I Need You To Listen - Steve Rogers
Summary: For @the-slumberparty 's Week 3 Something New Challenge, I went with the medium mode - sex pollen but with exes to lovers. This took alot of work I ended up rewriting it entirely, I hope you enjoy!
Word Count: 7.4k || Dividers: @firefly-graphics
Pairing: Nomad!Steve Rogers x Fem!Reader
Warnings: 18+ minors dni, smut, angst, smut, fluff, sex pollen, p in v, fingering, dirty talk, love bites, steve rogers dirty talking (this man), swearing, nipple play, past is in italics, sort of a post civil war rewrite so we're going completely off canon
Main Masterlist || AO3
Fate works in the most hilarious of ways, a stubbed toe over here and a broken heart still being nursed over there.Â
Tony Stark stands in front of your cell, staring at you through the glass. You donât hold back your tears from him. Disappointment colours his features.Â
Broken pieces of trust lay scattered on the floor. The damage by him was done. Leaving you to bear the brunt. Leaving you to walk on the jagged edges of the broken family.Â
A family that shared jokes, laughed, drank and protected each other.Â
Won together.Â
Lost together.Â
In the past few days died together.Â
âHow are you holding up?â His arc reactor gleams as he takes a seat on the stool. Unzipping the jacket he wears his arm in a sling. You close your eyes, more tears fall at the memory of the fight. An involuntary shiver as the chiling bite of the cold manifests itself from your memory.Â
The cell isnât uncomfortable. There is a cot in the corner, the bathroom has a door. The sterile scent of the cleaning agent stopped giving you a headache hours ago.Â
âWhy are you asking me?â You look at him, he should be mad, he should yell, call you a traitor.Â
âContrary to what you all think and did to me, I trust you.â He shrugs, left eye twitching, he rolls his shoulder.Â
âHow is the arm?â Your gaze falls to it.Â
âSeen better days. You know, heart troubles.â He looks at Wandaâs cell, âKid, Vis is asking about you.âÂ
She looks up at him, âIs Rhodes alright?âÂ
Tony presses his lips into a thin line, shaking his head.Â
Wanda looks down at her hands.Â
âHe tore us apart. That Baron Zemo. I know you have a lot to learn, alot to grieve. The accords may be dissolved. Iâm working on it. At SI weâre preparing the bail documents.â He informs you all.Â
Sam scoffs, âWhat about Cap and Barnes?âÂ
âJames is in recovery as per my last conversation with TâChalla. Where Cap and Nat are I do not know nor does he.â Tony gazes back at you.Â
âI trusted him.â Is all you can say to him. You stare at your palms, you couldnât get the blood off.Â
âI know, I did too.âÂ
âTony.â Your lips quiver another sob at the heartbreak Steve left you with to deal. All alone.Â
Bucky fights Tony, you donât want to see your best friend hurt. The man who took you under his wing when you joined in, your steps halted by the blonde haired man who harbours your heart.Â
âSign the accords.â Steve orders, you gape at him.Â
âSteve, do you fucking realise? Weâre here because I didnât sign them because I am siding with you?â You almost yell. The tempreture drops as the snow cascades into the facility from the now broken windows.Â
Bucky lands on the floor, a pained groan, his arm blasted off. He kneels, eyes widened at the implication. At the man he hurt irreparablely being the one to take away one of the curses HYDRA bestowed upon him.Â
âShit!â Your eyes move to Tony, slowly he rises from the floor. The suit broken in several places.Â
âY/N, you need to listen. You cannot go rogue with me.âÂ
âSteve,â You push his arm away you had to intervene.Â
âIt was good while it lasted.â He says and everything turns to static.Â
âWh-what?âÂ
âLook, I, we had a good run but I know your stance on the accords youâre just with me for the sole reason weâre together.â Steve says to you.Â
âAre you serious right now?â Anger courses through you, your grip on your pistol tightens.Â
âIt's not even the accords. I, I didnât think we would make it beyond this month. Look, I have to think about Bucky. Its all of this, it doesnât, priorities.â He lunges over to defend Bucky leaving you defenceless. Your ears ringing, you watch as they fight, you canât hear any of the clangs the groans.Â
You stand there dumbfounded.Â
As Steve throws Tony down the beam reflects off of his shield and hits you on the shoulder youâre thrown against the wall. Bucky meets your eyes, at least he seems apologetic. Â
Tony tries to get up to help you, âRogers, sheâs hurtâ,â The shield slams against the arc reactor.Â
âI donât care.â He says so easily.
You pant as the pain increases, both the burn and sting of his words as well as the physical injuries manifesting across you.Â
Steve helps Bucky up, you try to push yourself to your knees, crawling to Tony while keeping your arm close to your body.Â
Bucky looks back at you, his eyes convey his remorse. Tony breathes hard, you blink back tears at the glance Steve doesnât spare towards you.Â
Eight months down the drain.
The morning kisses, cuddles, the random sketches of you he left as gifts all lose their importance. Remembrance only causes pain.Â
âMr. Stark, you need to leave.âÂ
Tony sighs, âIâll visit, or Iâll have you guys out before that. Work some arrangement.âÂ
âIâm so sorry, Tony.â You look at his arm and back at his face.Â
He gives you one of those sad smiles of his, the one where he pretends it's just another day, another common thing.Â
âArenât you foolish to trust us again?â Sam questions him as Tony passes by his cell.Â
âI just have to do my job. Itâs the people who have to trust us.â Tony turns to face Sam.Â
âSo the people trust the missile maker millionaire Stark?â Sam knows the jab is stinging, Tony hatedÂ
that about the companyâs past.Â
The rift was ever present, your friend looks towards you.Â
âY/N, let him know not to insult me, Iâm a billionaire.â He grabs his glasses and moves away.Â
You resist the urge to laugh, everyone would resort to their coping mechanisms. Youâd have to bide your time here. Usually getting black out drunk was how you solved your own problems.Â
True to his word Tony has you all released on various conditions. You, Scott and Wanda are released together.Â
When you reach the tower it isnât surprising that there was a break in, youâd scoff that Steve didnât come to break you out but he made his decision in Siberia.Â
The faint scent of his cologne lingers in your room. Hints of Patchouli and Bergamot. You stare at the box on your bed.Â
Opening it reveals a burner phone.Â
âI got a burner too, one number loaded upon it.â Tony stands at the door holding a glass of scotch for himself and your favourite Vodka in a bottle.Â
âSurprised he bothered.â You open the phone and it chimes an unread text upon it.Â
âI didnât get that.â He observes, you take the bottle from him.Â
Opening the text.Â
SGR: I want to talk to you. Please let me explain.Â
You laugh bitterly, unscrewing the cap and taking a long sip. At least you can blame these tears on the alcohol.Â
âAre you going to? Call him I mean.â Tony settles on your desk chair.Â
âNope.â You set your bottle down after three more sips, grabbing the edges of the opened flip phone you press. The phone snaps from its hinges and you place it back down in the box, âDid you track it?âÂ
âFake return address.â He twirls the ice in his drink.Â
The two of you bask in the silence. Drinking in tandem and out of sync.Â
âWere you going to sign the Accords?â You ask after a while staring at the setting sun.Â
âNope,â He reaches for your bottle, pouring himself a peg, âI was having them redrafted. Steve only had to agree for them to shut up. My draft would have gotten approved.âÂ
âSo confident.â You raise your brows.Â
âComes with the job title.â He rolls his eyes.Â
âDo you think anyone will trust anyone?â You tap the bottle neck.Â
Steveâs laughter reverberates against your chest. He reaches up to cup your face.Â
âWhy is it so amusing?â You ask, not meeting his eyes.Â
âBecause it is, Poppet. I wouldnât break your heart.â He assures yet again.Â
You gnaw at your bottom lip trust was difficult to come by for you.Â
âYou want to know why?â He whispers, making you meet his gaze. His nose brushing against your own.Â
âBecause I have your heart and it's what is keeping me alive.âÂ
You lean closer, pressing your lips to his, Steve kisses you back. Hands pulling you closer. You feel his smile between the kisses and you begin to retract knowing what he was upto but itâs too late.Â
Steve tickles your sides and laughter blubbers from your chest. He grins, cheeks flushed as you press against him. The thin sheet hides nothing from the way you feel.Â
âI love you.â He says, you stroke his cheek with your thumb.
âI loved him with everything in me.â You blubber out, tears falling down.Â
Tony sits next to you, your head rests on his good shoulder, âI know you did. It's a hard road ahead, kid. Not an undoable one.âÂ
âI hate him.â You declare, âI hate him, he just, how could he be so selfish?âÂ
âSometimes we all are, he is in the wrong. He didnât exactly reciprocate the trust.â Tony sighs, you look up at him.Â
âIâm sorry about your parents.â You watch him give you those sad smiles, he flexes and extends the fingers of his left hand.Â
âHe could have told me, I trusted him enough that he could.â He whispers then shakes his head.Â
âSteve Rogers is an asshole.â You declare raising your bottle to his assholery. Then you giggle.Â
âYou just thought of the word assholery didnât you?â Tony giggles as well.Â
Both of you burst out laughing.Â
âHey Tone?â You ask mid laughter.Â
âYeah?â
âThank you for being here, also can I get a box?â
âSure.â He stands, FRIDAY has the box led by one of his tinkered bots to the room.Â
âI need to check on Rhodey.â He says, âIâm a call away okay?âÂ
You nod, he leaves. The box stays on your bed and then you stare at the sketches hung around your room. With a delicateness that Steve didnât spare towards you, you pack up the papers. Sealing the box with plastic wrap and head down to the safety deposit lockers.Â
Your steps are misjudged and you drop your box of trinkets several times. The stupid ceramic mug from that couples pottery class probably shattered.Â
You giggle thinking how it resembles your heart.Â
Locking the box leaves you in silence. Your room is void of all things Steve except the one shirt he gave you on your first mission together where the two of you fell into the muddled waters that left the two of you in need to change out of clothes.Â
The shirt smells like him, you curl up with it on your pillow.Â
âThis is the last time you gave your heart away.â You tell yourself.Â
âThis is the last time you cry over him.â You promise yourself.Â
Eight months pass and you all sit in the conference room. The accords are abolished. They reinstate Natasha, Sharon, James, Sam and him. Tony holds his flip phone. Resorting to texting rather than speaking to him.Â
A reply comes when you all are back at the tower. Theyâd be there tomorrow. Rooms are prepared with favourite foods stocked up. You had requested your room be shifted away to another level.Â
Heart ache didnât manifest beyond those few nights.Â
Your walls that Steve Rogers broke down were built back stronger. Impenetrable. His shirt was placed in his room by you a month into getting over him.Â
You donât pass by the floor, youâre a level above. Thankfully the elevators divide the levels they service and you wonât ever be on the same floor as him.Â
The night is restless despite your indifference to all of them. They were the family you chose and yet you were abandoned by them.Â
Dreams are but a loop of memories you have buried.Â
After your morning laps you head to Tonyâs lab.Â
âThey will be dropping in at SHIELD first. Fury wants to discuss some things and then they come back here.â He stifles a yawn.Â
âYou need caffeine my friend.â You hold up the coffees, âLuckily I come bearing gifts.â
âI love you.â He whispers gingerly while taking the cup.Â
âAre you talking to the coffee or me?â You ask, taking a sip of your own.Â
âI can love both.â He defends, whispering to the coffee he loves it more.Â
You throw one of his discarded paper balls on him. It doesnât phase him.Â
âAre you sure you want to come along?â He asks for the umpteenth time on the drive to SHIELD.Â
âTony, I will leave you behind if you ask me again.â You glare at him.Â
âI think you will be fine.â Vision assures a gentle smile on his face and he laces his fingers with Wanda. She smiles at him, her own mind filled with thoughts.Â
âSee weâll be okay.â You declare.Â
Minutes later youâre seated on one side of the conference room. Tony on the first seat, you on the second. Vision opts to stand behind Wanda as she sits.Â
Fury sits at the head of the table. The door opens and Natasha, Sam and Steve step into the room. A thick silence settles over. You look at each of them and then back at Fury.Â
Natashaâs hair is shorter and blond, Sam seems to have gotten leaner. Steve was sporting a beard and longer hair.Â
You wondered if the post break up look was something you should have gone for, maybe dyed your hair blue.
âWell, as you know you all have been reinstated. The Avengers operate without any Accords binding them but they must be mindful of their poweress and the possible damage they may cause. A country has full discretion to forbid the Avengers from subduing threats that may lead them there and you must honour that no matter the cost.â Fury gazes at you all.Â
âWhat if they need help?â Steve questions, you scoff.Â
Cold blues flash to you. You roll your eyes.Â
âThe dissolution of the Accords was done keeping this one rule in mind. I suggest you make peace with it. You will not be able to save everyone from damage and hurt, it is better than causing it.â Tony adds.Â
Steveâs jaw tightens. He nods.Â
âNow since this is done and dusted. Official missions may resume.â Fury places down a manila folder.Â
âOfficial?â Sam questions, raising a brow.Â
âAgent Y/L/N here was liasoning with us for recon purposes. Kept under wraps. We have identified HYRA bases. Once the plans are sanctioned you all will be back on duty.â Nick sighs, âI suggest you all train together to get a sense of your skill sets and moves again.âÂ
No one nods.Â
Nick shakes his head leaving the room.Â
âYour old rooms have been cleaned at the tower. Access is via FRIDAY, food is stocked. Layoutâs almost the same. Few changes here and there. Oh and there are new succulents in the living room.â Tony fiddles with the folder.Â
âWe can conduct a meeting about these missions tonight or tomorrow. You all settle in, there is a car outside and your vehicles are in pristine condition at the garage.â He informs them further.Â
âNo welcome back party?â Nat muses, you laugh.Â
âI drank all the liquor so unfortunately no parties.â You deadpan.Â
Nat and Sam stare at you.Â
âIt has been a difficult few months. I understand everyone will take time to return to a semblance of previous normalcy.â Visionâs words are both reassuring but also farfetched.Â
Wanda grasps his hand and gives it a squeeze.Â
Steveâs brows furrow in worry. He observes you trying to find any hints but you give him none. You learned to school yourself. An agent well versed in hiding her intent, emotions and aim. Your skillset is what brought you to the team and it is what you have. It's what you could trust.Â
Sam nods, âWell best we head back.âÂ
âYes we could use some sleep.â Natasha says, you flash her a smile.Â
âYep, well I have a few things to discuss with Fury.â You push away from the table first. Tony follows your lead.Â
âShould you not include us in the conversation?â Steve says in his authoritative baritone.Â
âUnfortunately, Captain, it isnât an Avengers matter but a personal one. Which you arenât entitled to know.â You spit back.Â
His mouth opens again to speak.Â
Tony beats him to it, âWhereâs our Manchurian candidate?âÂ
âBuckyâs in the UK for a bit, after Wakanda we were there for a while. He stayed back for personal reasons.â Steve explains and you slip out.Â
Steve stares at your room door, knocking on it yet again. Two weeks since his return and you had avoided him in every capacity.
He had worked up the courage to knock on your door today. But there was no response as it was over the past fifteen minutes. He requests FRIDAY to check in and all the AI says is that youâre fine.
You had gotten back from a mission yesterday morning. You had to have been resting.Â
âWhy wonât she open her door then?â He mutters, pressing his forehead to your door, âPoppet, I just want to speak to you. Please.â
âCaptain.â Vision greets floating out of Wandaâs room.
âVision.â He acknowledges.
âWhy are you knocking on an empty roomâs door?â Vision tilts his head.Â
Steve blinks at him, âThis is Y/Nâs room.â he states as if obvious.
âIt isnât, she switched rooms about three months ago.â Vision says
Before Steve can ask anything further, Wanda opens her door, âVis.â She gestures with her hand for him to return.
âWanda.â He walks to her this time.
âFRIDAY, where is Y/Nâs new room?â Steve questions walking to the elevators.Â
âSheâs on the twenty-fifth floor.â The AI responds, he switches to the other elevator.Â
âCaptain, you will have to go to the ground floor to switch elevators.â FRIDAY informs him.Â
Steve sighs moving back in front of the original elevator. It stops at every single floor; he almost misses the elevator as youâre getting on, luckily a Stark Industries employee holds the door for him.Â
You bite the inside of your cheek. Looking away.Â
âI want to talk.â He says over the all too silent but crowded elevator.Â
Everyone looks at him except you. They follow his gaze to you.Â
âI donât.â You answer while staring at the numbers.Â
âPoppet.â He says and you shoot him a glare before looking away again.Â
People trickle in and out.Â
Steveâs gaze is trained upon you. He nods politely at those greeting him but his gaze nerver strays from you.Â
You look into your phone pulling up a forgotten game loaded into the device. Anything. Any stupid thing to avoid him.Â
Finally it's just the two of you.Â
The automated air freshener hisses filling the space with the scent of lavender.Â
âPoppet I just want to explainâ,â Steve steps closer, his hand outstretched.Â
âNo. I donât fucking want to hear a word.â You seethe, you move forward pressing the button to your floor if it makes you reach quicker.Â
âPoppet.â He grabs your hand, turning you towards him.Â
âY/N. Use my damn name.â You spit out, finally meeting his eyes.Â
There is a tick in his jaw, he nods, âY/N. Just five minutes. I know I donât deserve itâ,â
âYou donât deserve to even ask for a minute of my time. You never saw us work beyond that month correct? Well guess what? We donât.â You push at his chest, he doesnât budge.Â
âI lied. I said those things so you wouldnât follow. I could not have you living rogue with me.â Steve admits, you stare at him.Â
âYou lied?â You repeat.Â
âI didnât want to break things off but that was the only way I could ensure you wouldnât follow behind me. It was dangerous. PoppetâY/N,â he corrects, âI told you your heart kept me alive, I love youâ,âÂ
Steveâs head snaps to the side, cheek turning red at the impact of your slap. You breathe hard, eyes tearing up.Â
âThat was not for you to fucking decide, you do not get to come back here and make your sorry excuses for being a horrible human being. Betraying my trust. Leaving me and your friend injured. You picked Bucky over us. You picked Bucky over me and I understand I would pick him too if I were you. But I would not fucking lie or leave my girlfriend and best friend behind injured horribly. Youâre welcome back to the compound Steve. Even back to your glorious Captain America title. However,âÂ
The doors open to your floor, you step out.Â
âI donât know how you say youâre alive because I took my fucking heart back from your undeserving self. I donât care if you lied, I donât care if it was all fun and games. I don't care about you. I donât want to care about you. You are a teammate because I am forced to consider you one. I donât need to listen to you to provide you closure or a second chance. You fucking liar!âÂ
âPoppet,â Steve reaches for you again, you take off running to your door.Â
âFRIDAY, deny access. Override only with Tony.â You order, the locks on your doors bolt and Steve keeps knocking and pleading.Â
He sinks to his knees outside your door apologising over and over.Â
Natasha is pinned to the floor by Wanda as the latter grins triumphantly. Natasha praises her and they break apart. You take Wandaâs place and Sam takes Natashaâs place.Â
Mixed training was now mandatory.Â
You had almost burned Nick Fury with your glare. Steve hadnât shown up to any, in fact he hardly was in the same room as you.Â
Sam goes full offence, you block the blows. Defending yourself you had worked hard over the time away from official duties.Â
Minutes pass by, neither of you yields. Panting you stare at Sam waiting for an opening to take him down.Â
âCome on, that's all you got, little spy?â Sam teases, you laugh.Â
âYou wish birdy.â You stick your tongue out childishly. Wanda and Nat laugh.Â
âCome on Wilson.â Nat prompts, âWeâre bored here.âÂ
âAlright,â Sam moves, pulling a fake. You catch it a moment too late, as heâs about to tackle you to the ground you turn. Tugging on his arm as Samâs eyes widen.Â
The momentum thrown off both of you land on your sides, recovering swiftly heâs pinned to the ground by you.Â
You grin at him.Â
âHow's that birdy?â You laugh at his irritation. Sam rolls his eyes.Â
âY/N.âÂ
Everyoneâs heads snap to the door, Steve and Tony stand there.Â
You help Sam up. Sam keeps an arm around your shoulder. Steveâs eyes linger and his fists clench.Â
Sam takes his arm away.Â
You roll your eyes, they land on Tony as he bites his cheek, oh this canât be good you deem.Â
âWheels up in an hour for Rogers and you.â He delivers the news.Â
âSam, Nat, Vis and Wanda are needed to take on a bigger base with Tony.â Steve looks at you, âFuryâs orders before you try to whine your way out if it.âÂ
You glare at him, âAlright.âÂ
An hour later youâre on the jet with Steve. He doesnât talk. The last conversation between the two of you was enough.Â
âWe wonât be splitting up.â Steve informs you. You nod, studying the layout.Â
You frown in recognition.Â
âI was here on recon. This is supposed to be a dead base.â You look up at him.Â
âFury said they detected activity.â He looks back ahead.Â
âHopefully it's just random people looking for shelter.â You look back at the plans.Â
Steve hums, observing you again. Wishing it would be like before where the two of you would be holding hands.Â
Cobwebs litter the walls, plaster cracked. The scent of something decaying permeates through the space.Â
Walking into the HYDRA base is carefully crafted, Steve leads with his shield. You keep a double check on the back trail. Something was not sitting right with you.Â
The hallway diverges, you stand next to Steve, âLeft side first then we can go right.â You whisper.Â
He nods, âStay close, I donât know why something feels wrong.â
You donât verbalise your own feelings, following in his footsteps.Â
The hallway leads to an abandoned lab, the computers torn down and broken apart. Steve relaxes his defensive stance looking around the area.Â
You move carefully through the edge of the room, âSomething should be of value here.âÂ
âI donât think there is anything.â Steve declares, âLet's clear the other pathway.â
You give another once over and then follow him back down the path.Â
Your boot catches on the uneven flooring, âShit!â You whisper yell as you fall forward.Â
Steve turns, breaking your fall. You land against his chest and his arm encircles your waist. For a moment that echoes a broken promise of eternity he holds you close to him.Â
Steve sneaks a moment he lost over a stupid decision. He takes what crumbs heâs given by fate.Â
Your palm is against his chest, your head tucked against the crook of his neck.Â
Why can't you move away?
Why do you want more of him?Â
Why do you miss him?Â
He hurt you.Â
He lied.Â
He hurt you.Â
You break the eternity Steve was living as you pull away, silence stretches between the two of you as you head down the other hallway.Â
It's empty yet again, you shake your head at the waste of time. Steve steps closer to the vials on the shelf. The liquid in them gleams a certain way.Â
You hear a pneumatic hiss from your left. You turn quietly making your way to the wall.Â
Steve studies the shelf again. There was no dust on it. No pattern on it. These were fresh vials. Then his eyes widened, âY/N donât!âÂ
You turn to face him when the hiss is louder and the slits of the vent open. A dust like substance pours over floating around you.Â
A coughing fit grips you, you place your hand against the wall to steady yourself the gun falls as you clutch your chest wheezing.Â
Steve pads over to you, trying to rub your back to ease the coughing fit. He asks FRIDAY to scan the micro dust to see if it is anything dangerous.Â
The coughing fit subsides over a few minutes, your breathing shallow. You look up at Steve blinking away the tears. He cups your cheek.
âAre you okay? Do you feel anything?â He questions, gaze running over every aspect of you. Glove clad large palms moving over your form. You nod, but then your stomach cramps.Â
âWhat is it?â Steve takes not of your discomfort.Â
âI, it's my stomachâ,â Your words are cut off by a whimper as the cramp gains severity. You lean more against the wall as the cramp travels across.Â
Steve rummages through his mind to know what this substance could be, he had been to HYDRA bases before. He spoke to Bucky all about them, their experiments which he knew.Â
He watches as your skin flushes, you squirm in his grasp. He steps closer to support you.Â
âPoppet?â Steve makes you look up at him, your eyes have a dazed look almost glazed over. You feel his warmth through your tactical suit. His thigh between your legs and the ache the needy ache is all you know and you need to get rid of it.Â
âPlease,â You plead to him gazing at his slightly blurred blue eyes, your hips moving out of their own accord against his thigh you moan as your core makes contact with him.Â
Steve pushes your hips away, âPoppet whatâ,âÂ
âSteve, it hurts so badly. Please,â You cry out wiggling against his hold. His fingers dig into your hips to keep you in place.Â
Your palms cover his, you look up at him.Â
You lean up, he shifts back. You use the distraction to guide his palm to grind down on it. Your choked moan has his cock harden further. He canât help but watch as you use him.Â
Logic hits him then when he feels just how wet youâve gotten, before he can pull away there is a prick in the side of his neck. You begin to blur from his view.Â
âPoppet, something is wrong.âÂ
You look up at him, why did his words sound garbled?Â
Why was he falling to his knees?Â
You look behind him, people standing and watching.Â
The need clouding your mind clears in the slightest, âSteve,â you kneel next to him.Â
âItâs okay,â he assures you, reaching for the shield.Â
The cramp hits you again harder; you cry out in pain, doubling over and sinking against the wall to curl up.Â
âFRIDAY, dis-distress signal.â Steve orders as his vision begins to blacken, he reaches for you with the last of his strength covering your curled up form with his body.Â
Steve keeps his eyes closed.Â
Enhanced hearing picking up the dripping pipes from the left. To his right he hears your pained whimpers.Â
How long was he out?
Chains bind his arms above him, the uneven concrete digs into his knees and shins. He would search for the shield in the aftermath.Â
He counts four people by their rhythmic footfall. They were in the same facility. It couldnât have been easy to move them.Â
Lolling his head to right he watches you through hooded eyes, chained like him kept on your knees but youâre struggling. Squirming on the ground trying to find respite and crying out of frustration.Â
âSex pollen.â Bucky spoke, with a shake of his head in disgust.
âSex pollen?â Steve repeated as if to confirm.Â
Bucky gives him a look, Steveâs eyebrows shot up higher.Â
âWhat does that do? Did they use it on you?â Steve questioned his best friend.Â
Bucky shook his head, âIt basically sets the libido up to the maximum, forces the person in contact to orgasm but basically they need to have sex, self pleasure seldom works. The intensity is higher to combat the inevitable effect.âÂ
A dark expression crossed Buckyâs features, he sighed sadly. Looking out at the view from his home in Wakanda. The house, though borrowed, was Buckyâs own.Â
Steve had placed a few sketches of Brooklyn around. The place he used to consider home now changed. Steve stares at the more recent sketch of his home city.Â
Two men out of time in a place decades ahead of the world outside.Â
âHow long?â Steve clutches his charcoal tighter as he forms the curve of soft lips on the paper. A stray tendril of hair.Â
Bucky looks down at the half done sketch of your face. His heart aches for Steve and you.Â
âTwo hours, it gets progressively maddening. At first one can try to speak or answer what is asked. After that it is variable how long it takes for the need to become the sole focus. If nothing is done in two hours then its too far gone and well...âÂ
He had limited time, he could not gamble any further. Steve opens his eyes, tugging at the restraints to catch the attention of the captors.Â
You hear the rattling, you look up at Steve another pang through your core.Â
âSteveâ,âÂ
âAh, Captain. Welcome to the land of the waking, you were out for just under an hour. Now who is this sweet little needy thing with you?â The man asks, stepping closer to you.Â
Steve growls, âStay away from her.â he warns.Â
The man raises his hands in defence, âSheâs a little needy Captain,â he walks back toward Steve away from you, âWhy so possessive?âÂ
Steve bites his tongue, âSheâs mine.â he grits out.Â
âI see and why is she yours?âÂ
He canât tell them, they would exploit you but his will is crumbling swiftly and his mind is compelling him to speak, âI love her.âÂ
âHm, it seems she needs you, Captain.â The man grins, walking back to you. His palm touches your scalp as he pulls your hair back. You want to recoil but the touch is soothing some of the ache. You look at Steve, pleading. Â
âI could fill in.â He says suggestively.
You try to shuffle away but the grip on your hair tightens.Â
âDonât you fucking dare touch her!â Steve bellows as his thumb approaches your lips, âWhat the fuck do you want?â He pulls against the restraints, almost snarling.Â
âI want to know where my Soldat is, tell me.â The man demands, leaving you. The words register as does the scent of cigarettes you recoil. You feel your mind working again, clearing the need to be fucked.Â
âSteve donât,â you warn him, he couldnât sell out Bucky whatever this was, it wasn't worth ruining his life again, âIâll deal with thisâŠâ you bite back the pained whimper.Â
Steve stares at you, eyes wide and with an emotion you canât place.Â
âOh but you know what is wrong with her donât you Captain?â The man demands and you look to Steve, âTell her the truth that burns your veins, Captain.âÂ
Steve wants to lie, wants to cushion you, âTruth serum?â He looks at the man who nods.
âBrilliant isnât it? Youâre compelled to tell me whether or not she chooses to be saved. Youâre on a time limit.â The man taps his watch.Â
âItâs a sex pollen.â Steve informs you, you stare at him.Â
âThat, that's why I need?â Your insides churn and your clit pulses as you watch Steve lick his dry lips before he continues to speak. The small insignificant action has your body wanting to be devoured.Â
âYes, and if you donât get release, itâs fatal.âÂ
Silence stretches on the footfall of the three others has stopped, they watch the show play out. The consequences and the outcomes weighed.Â
âFight it, donât tell them. It's not worth it.â You whisper.Â
âPoppet you cannot say that. I am not risking your life!â Steve yells, pulling at the restraints again.Â
âYou canât have him at risk again!âÂ
âI wonât let you die!âÂ
âYou already left me for the dead once! You chose him once. Just fucking do it again!â You seethe, your skin clammy and you just want this suit gone. The material irritates you.Â
Steve gapes at you, âI, I didnâtâ,â
âSave it.âÂ
âAs much as I enjoy a loverâs quarrel. Where is Soldat?â The man interrupts.Â
âGone.â Steve answers, âPoppet, please,âÂ
âDonât fucking tell them!â You demand, âConsider it my last wish! Fight the damn truth serum.âÂ
âYou are not dying.â Steve grits out.Â
âWhere is he, where is Bucky Barnes?â The man lands a punch to Steveâs face. His hair falls forward, slowly Steve looks up at the man. Rage colouring all his features.Â
âI will let you help her. Just tell me where Bucky is, Captain.â The man promises. Steve considers, you begin to yell no at him.Â
âHeâs in the United Kingdom.âÂ
âAre you insane?!â You slump to the ground, âDo you have any fucking idea what have you done?âÂ
The man walks over and slaps you, âShut the fuck up! You want a cock so fucking bad you fucking bitch in heat, Iâll give you one!âÂ
Steve snarls, wrapping the chain around his own palm and tugging hard until it breaks away from the wall. The man turns, gun cocked and ready, it's grabbed out of his hand by Steve. He looks at the man dead in his eyes before delivering the fatal shot.
You look up at Steve, as the man drops to the floor between the two of you.Â
Steve watches the other three scramble about, he quickly fires the shots, he keeps one person alive.Â
He grabs the other chain, yanking it with all his strength. It gives way.Â
âWhere is the shield?â He walks over to the man on the ground, pleading in pain.Â
A shaking hand rises, pointing to the vault.Â
âAccess code?â Steve picks him up and takes him to the keypad.Â
The man enters it crying when Steve presses on the open wound, âDonât fucking pull any stunts.âÂ
You watch as the doors part and the shield stays there as a momento.Â
You blink when everything goes out of focus. You blink again. Heat spreads over your body goosebumps raise across.Â
Your thighs clench and you squirm trying to get some friction to release the ache. Tugging at the restraints is maddening. They donât relent when you try to manoeuvre but no position provides any respite and you sob out as the frustration grows.Â
âPoppet.â A warm voice calls out, you whimper. The hold on your right arm loosens and your hand reaches for the tactical suit. You had to get it off. You needed to get it off.Â
You blink and watch as Steveâs hand stops yours, you push at him.Â
âPlease,â you whimper as another cramp takes over.Â
âYou smell so sweet baby.â He groans, the sound urges you on, you guide his hand to where you need him.Â
His warm palm cups you the fabric of your suit soaked Steve hears your sigh of relief.Â
âGoing to take care of you Poppet, but you need to hold on for me okay?â Steve assures, breaking out your left arm as well.Â
âSteve please,â you beg again, your mind screaming at your body, your hips move making you grind onto his palm. Your smaller palm wrapped around his wrist not letting him pull away.Â
âFuck,â He groans, pushing you against the corner and undoing your suitâs zipper, you donât face him palms braced against the wall. Steveâs warm calloused palm is as though cold respite to your heated skin.Â
He doesnât waste time, fingers running over your folds, palm pressing against your clit. Your head tilts back resting against his shoulder, mouth parted moans leaving you.Â
Steve presses his fingers into you, two thick digits and your walls clench around him he almost wishes heâd fuck you right there.Â
âFuck this pussy remembers who she belongs to doesnât she?â Fingers curve finding the spot he very well could have placed. Stars line your vision as he hits the spot over and over, fingers curving.
âRight there Steve!â You cry out your ass rocking against him, pressing onto his cock. He keeps his thrusts hard and fast, palm rubbing your clit in the most delicious of ways. His grunts fill your senses.
Pleasure thrums from his touch to your body, your back arching as his fingers drive deeper and deeper into you. Your walls are gripping them back in not wanting him to stop.Â
âI know sweet Poppet. I know what makes her weep for me. Iâm going to taste you. But first youâre going to make a mess on my hand alright?â He instructs filthy words offset by the sweet kisses placed against your forehead and cheek.Â
His other hand cups your breast playing with your nipple. Your hands fall from the wall, gripping onto his nails leaving indents on his skin. Steve watches your chest constrict, your voice choke off, eyes rolling back as your orgasm crashes into you.Â
His fingers keep moving, riding your orgasm out, your walls quivering around him the sensitivity of your clit as it pulses. Some of the haze clears but the need just returns tenfold.
âSteve, please, I canât, canât waitâ,âÂ
His lips are on yours, cutting you off, your suit pushed down further without breaking away from the kiss.
The shield clatters to the floor, his suit haphazardly discarded. Steveâs hands explore your body, remembering the planes he explored before. The love he whispered across your skin. Marking you with his touch, his lips, his seed.
âWanna see you,â You want to turn, he grabs your hands pinning them to the wall.Â
âNo one gets to see you this way but me.â He growls, you feel his hard cock move between your thighs. His larger body covers yours, shielding you, watching over you.Â
When your thighs clench around him, Steve hisses, âGoing to fill you up, sweet girl.â he coos.Â
Inch by inch Steveâs length stretches you, your back arches. The relief the stretch of his cock brings is unlike anything else youâve felt before.Â
âYou can take it, made for my cock aren't you?â He stills inside you, throbbing as your walls clench around him. He moans biting down on your shoulder the feel of you decadent, unable to be given justice by his mind.
âHeaven. Pussy feels so good, baby. Missed you so much.â He grunts, you push back against him needing him to move, âhands around my neck.â He orders, leaving your hands.
You wrap them around him, holding onto his now longer hair, soft between your fingers. Your mind remains you of the soft moments when he laid in your lap and your fingers combed through these locks.
Steve pulls you out of your thoughts with the snap of his hips. His palms gripping your waist anchoring you to him. Skin slapping against skin, his cock feels so good you could sob, the need turns into embers, your thirst being quenched.Â
Each delicious, deep stroke moves you towards sweet bliss. You hear your name in an echo of his name. Steve watches the wall you mould against him, as countless times before. Your heart may have put up walls but your body left no space.
The way he sees the telltale signs of your orgasm he brings his right hand towards your apex, timing his rough circles on your clit to his thrusts. The sensations blooming become too much, your body alit with flames of pleasure, Steve moans as your walls begin to milk him just as your orgasm shatters through you.
He keeps his thrusts going, pumping into you. The arousal that spills onto your thighs, the mix of you and him.Â
âOne more.â He demands, fingers coated with the mix of the two of you, his marked fingers brought back to your clit, you cry out in ecstasy.Â
The blissful haze clears, everything returning to you. The mission, the power, you canât, you canât, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steveâ,
âRight here my sweet poppet, you will give me one more. You know I'm greedy.â He reasons, only increasing his pace, you thrash in his hold. Lips find the sweet spot of your neck.
Itâs your undoing, you cum around him yet again. Crying out his name, tugging on his hair. Aftershocks moving through you. He holds you up, pressing kisses to your forehead, temple, cheek, jaw and shoulders.Â
Grounding you, palms moving over you after he brings his coated fingers to taste them. Your head lols against his shoulder, you reach for his jaw, placing a soft kiss. Steve smiles at the familiar gesture.Â
Helping you get dressed he follows as well. Youâre lifted into his arms and carried to the quinjet.
As it had turned out Bucky wasnât in UK it was a precautionary measure they came up with to secure Bucky from any life threatening attempts. The guilt you had harboured lessened.
Steve had stayed away from you, once Tony and Bruce cleared you of any remnant pollen he took his leave. Avoiding you as he had after the elevator confrontation. It left a bitter taste in your mouth.Â
As much as you felt as if you were an emotional fool for considering the thought of wanting to approach him, you missed him. Terribly.Â
You knew your walls were useless against the one man who you had given your jagged heart to, the blue eyes you had drowned yourself in multiple times. Whether it was when he found your gaze across the room or when you were pressed against him.
Your feet carried you after three days to his door. Your hand shook when you knocked. Thoughts swirling through your mind insecurities gaining fleet.Â
The door opens, Steveâs eyes widen then his brows furrowed with worry, then fall to the still fading love bite that he placed on your collarbone. You shift your weight to either side. Hands fiddling with the hem of your top.
You look down at your feet, Steveâs palm cups your cheek.Â
Your eyes meet their old home of blue.
âI want to listen.â You manage to say, his pink lips stretch into a familiar smile.
He steps to the side inviting you further into his room.

Save Him
Moon System x Ex Reader
Summary: he thought he could save you but leaving you was the worst thing he ever did
Warning: pet death, dog name = buddy
Yn/3rd person pov
I groaned out in pain as I dragged my battered body across my floor crawling over to my fur baby "buddy" I chocked as I finally reached him I felt my eyes glaze over with tears as I looked over his wounded body "buddy".
My hands trembled as they went to touch him "no no no" I cried and slowly cradled him into my body "please stay with me please" I kissed his snot "p-please don't leave me".
The tears fell from my cheeks onto his fur dampening it I screamed out hoping someone would come help me "someone please" the tears flowed down my cheeks like a river and my lips quivered.
I let my eyes wonder over the recked apartment searching for anything that could help me my eyes locked on my phone I threw at the intruders "come on" I cried and slowly clawed my way to it still holding buddy tightly in my arms.
"Fuck" I coughed seeing a small splatter of blood land on the floor infront of me as I reached out for my phone screaming out as it damaged my wounds more.
I opened the phone as fast as my bloodied finger tips let me going straight to contacts my heart froze I didn't have anyone to call and for the life of me I couldn't remember the emergency number 'why can't they all be 911'.
I scrolled through my contacts knowing if I couldn't get a hold of anyone soon it would be the end for me, my hand stopped as I came to his number he was the only one in this area that could help me.
We didn't end on good terms so would he help me anyways I sighed in pain and pressed call it rang for a few minutes before being sent into voice mail "fuck" I cried and hit call again "please please pick up" I pleaded.
It went to voice mail again "m-marc, please I-I don't have anyone else to call, they broke in and I'm wounded buddy is hurt please.... I need you" my voice wavered as I spoke the last words.
My thumb hesitantly pressed the hung up bottom and it was like the whole world fell into a maddening silence except for the sound of my short breathes.
I placed the phone down beside me and sat myself up against the flipped over couch keeping buddy close to my chest hugging him tightly because I was afraid he'll disappear.
The minutes that passed felt like ours it was funny how when your in pain time almost slowed down into a complete stop, with each passing minute breathing started becoming harder and my vision started to darken.
I looked towards the door praying for something to happen and that's when I heard it the thundering foots coming down the corridor and the familiar voice I once loved "yn" he sounded breathless as he banged on the door.
I watched as the door flung open to reveal a very freaked out marc who rushed towards me "s-save him" I choked trying to pass buddy to marc but I didn't have the strength "shh I got to help you" marc whispered and gently took him from my arms and layed him beside.
I tried pushing his hands away from me "save him, save him please" I sob and tried to get out of his arms as he picked me up to get back to buddy's side "he'll want me to take care of you yn" marc tried calming me down but I just pushed my head into his neck trying to convince him to go back but all my words were landing on deaf ears.
He gently layed me in the back of the car and rushed to the driver's seat and as soon as the door closed I could see him change "t-take me back jake" I whimpered my throat tightening as I started to cough "I'm sorry mi amor" was all he said before driving towards the hospital but all I remember was rounding the first corner before sleep took me.
Jakes pov
I paced back and forth in the waiting room as steven frantically tried to calm himself down while marc didn't speak at all "this is all our fault" I stared at Steven in the mirror that was to the side of me "we did this to her they did this to her because of us".
We just listened to him because we knew he was right "Mr Lockley" I snapped turning towards the lady calling out to me "any news" I asked and walked to her swiftly she shook her head "she is still in surgery but I think it's best you head home we have your number for any updates on your friend".
My heart stung as she called yn our friend, I looked towards the mirror again and saw marc watching me with puffy eyes "ok gracius" I murmured and slowly walked out the door to my car "why are we abandoning her" steven shouted but I just ignored him and got in.
The drive was almost silent, Steven's shouts had turned into mutters and whispers, I was on autopilot I've driven there so many times I could do it blind folded "what are we doing here jake" marc spoke up for the first time "the least we can do is clean up the mess we caused" i muttered I closed my eyes and let steven take control.
Steven pov
I climbed up the stairs and with step getting closer my heart felt more shattered, I paused outside the broken door taking a long breath before pushing it open, I looked over all her ruined belongings "what have we done" I whispered and with shakey legs went inside.
My eyes locked on buddy's unmoving body I slowly went to sit close to him but not touch him, a single tear ran down my face as I stared at his blood covered fur I covered my face as the tears got worse "we could have saved them" my breathes quickened as I cried.
"If we just came earlier" I sunk further into myself with each word I spoke flashes of all the good memories we had filled my mind "she didn't deserve this" I whispered into my hands, "steven" I ignored marc and didn't even bother to look up "Steven" this time it was jake.
"What" I whispered my breath catching as I looked up "buddy" I asked causing the small dog to bark I looked around the apartment to see if this was a joke but no one else was there "buddy" I cried out in joy and brought the dog into my arms he squirmed in my arms and licked my face barking in excitement.
"H-how" I frowned my brows in confusion I looked behind me once more to see khonsu there "she is what we protect" he spoke calmly "she is the light no one shell extinguish" "thank you khonsu" I murmured and gently put buddy down.
My sadness felt lifted "let's fix this place up shell we" I smiled petting buddy one last time before standing up I sighed out and looked around the room "let's get to work" I murmured, I just did the basics like picking up all the broken pieces of her gadgets and shards of glass and putting back all her furniture back and when I was done with that I just felt like to do extra.
I washed all of her dirty clothes that were all over her bathroom floor, changed her bed sheets, I did the dishes sorted out her fridge and pantry even decided to vacuum and mop all her floors in till the place was spotless "good days work" I smiled admiring all of my hard work but suddenly a yawn escaped my lips "a quick nap won't hurt" I murmured and slowly collapsed onto her comfy couch.
Marc's pov
I stared at the familiar ceiling for I don't know how long its been about 5 days since the break in, I was stuck in my head for most of it, my hands softly petted buddy as he layed on my stomach I thought of many different ways we could have prevented this from happening or how I could stop this from happening in the future "we should go see her" steven murmured but I just sighed and moved buddy carefully off of me "she doesn't want to see us steven" I said and rubbed my face.
I looked towards the door as I heard nearing footsteps to the door the person knocked lightly and spoke "ms yn, it's the adoption agency" I tilted my head I confusion as I got up and opened the door "oh your not ms yn" the woman murmured looking down at her clip board in confusion "I'm her... friend im house sitting for a while may I help you with something" I sighed crossing my arms she nodded eagerly and brought out a cage that was behind her.
"Um this is her cat she has the food and everything the last time I check" the lady rambled and pushed the cage into my hands I nodded lifted the cage up to look in, my eyes softened as I saw the kitten we talked about adopting a few months perier "does he have a name yet" i asked "yes let's see here" she dragged her finger down the page "uh khonsau chandu I can't say that" the lady huffed and showed me the paper I laughed "khonsu" I whispered.
The lady nodded "here please sign here and here" I gently placed the cage inside and signed the paper "ok have a good day" the lady walked off hurriedly I closed the door quietly and slowly opened the cage so I didn't frighten it "come on little guy" I smiled to see the little kitten shyly walk out it looked around its surroundings his gaze landing on buddy who just sat patiently staring at him with curiosity I smiled fondly at the two.
My phone started to vibrate in my pocket and I took it out and answered it "hello" I murmured "hi Mr lockley, this is the hospital phoning to let you know ms yn is being released now and is being taken home I'm sure it would be easier if your there as well" I confirmed with the caller that I was already here "that is all thank you" the caller said before hanging up I popped my phone back into my pocket and took a deep breath "everything is going to be ok".
Yn pov
I stared out the window, he didn't come visit once maybe he hates me more now and just saved me out of guilt "we're almost there" the driver smiled back at me through the review mirror I gave him a forced smile back, I didn't want to go back and deal with the whole mess and... buddy I bit my lip I have to stay strong, my body trembled as the car came to a stop I felt weak and just wanted to srivel up and disappear "here we go ms" the driver opened up the door for me and helped me out.
"Do you need me to walk you u-" "I got it from here thanks" my eyes snapped to Marc's as he stepped out from my building the driver looked at me for confirmation I nodded slowly "ok have a nice day ms" the driver said before getting back in his car and driving off, I just stared at Marc not knowing what to saw "hi" he said nervously, I let out a shakey breathe "I'm sorry for getting you involved" I murmured making him frown his eyes in confusion "you don't have to apologize for that yn it wasn't your fault" he reassured walking up to me.
He wrapped his arm around me carefully "now come on we have a surprise for you" he smiled and helped me into the building "I swear Marc if you stuffed my dog I will chop of your balls" I murmured half jokingly, for some reason it almost feels like we're back to normal he chuckled and shook his head and urged me first into my apartment I hesitated for a minute "it's ok" he whispered rubbing his hand comfortly up and down my back I let out a sigh and opened up the door my eyes instantly widening.
"H-how" it was like time has been rewinded "buddy" I squealed out and caught the dog as he leaped into my arms I stumbled a bit but marc caught me "and look over there" he murmured his hands still around me as he pointed I looked over to see the cat I adopted slowly walking towards us I placed buddy and watched in aw as the two played, i glanced at marc to see him already staring at me, I felt my heart full once again "thank you guys" I smiled and leaned up onto my tip toes and layed a gentle kiss on his cheek.
He blushed and dark red his hands tighten around me keeping me close to him "I'm sorry yn" he whispered making me shake my head "you were only trying to protect me" I murmured "but that almost got you killed" I could see the tears welling up in his eyes I gently raised my hands to his face and caressed his cheeks "you did even though you ignored me the first time" I squinted my eyes playfully at him making him chuckle "you protect everyone every single day so you can protect me" I murmured and pecked his lips.
"I will always protect you, I thought I was by leaving you but it just shows me how much I need you and I'll never miss up like this again I promise you"

Next Month
1.5k / Steven Grant x f!reader / 18+
Summary: Your period arrivesâa painful reminder of another lost month, another lost chance after trying so hard. Thankfully, you find strength and comfort in your loving husband, Steven. Warnings: period after ttc, emotional hurt/comfort A/N: I wrote this at 4 am after my cramps woke me up. Trying to conceive is hard. My heart goes out to all of you who are going through this too. It'll all work out somehow. It just has to. đ€
The day had started out like any otherâwith a hint of hope, one that youâd barely dared to grasp, that maybe, just maybe, this time things would be different.
But as you sat on the toilet that morning, staring at the too-familiar streak of red, the hope slipped away from your grasp, and the weight of disappointment settled on your chest like a stone.
Another month. Another failed attempt.
Youâd been trying with Steven for what felt like forever, and each time your period arrived, it felt like a cruel reminder that something was broken. Maybe in you. Maybe in fate. It gnawed at your heart, an overwhelming ache that mirrored the physical pain already coursing through your body.
The cramps were relentless today, twisting in your abdomen, spreading to your legs, to your back, as if punishing you for even thinking that this month might be different. You clutched the counter, willing the pain to subside, but it lingered. Sharp, biting.
The blood, the cramps, the emotional tollâit was all too much. And yet, somehow, you had to go to work, put on a professional face, smile, and be polite, even though every part of you wanted to scream and break down.
The hours dragged by in a haze of discomfort and forced pleasantries, you felt nauseous, no change of position in your chair offered any relief, every trip to the bathroom caused you to tear up, and Stevenâs sweet text messages pierced your heart.Â
By the time you got home, your nerves were raw, your body and mind too exhausted to keep up the pretense any longer. Your muscles ached, your heart heavier than it had ever been, and a pit of dread sat deep in your stomach. Youâd thought about calling Steven, but what would you say? âIt didnât happen again.â It wasnât fair to keep burdening him with your fears.
He was so hopeful, so full of love.
But as you stood in front of the stove, stirring a pot you werenât even sure you had the energy to eat from, something in you broke. The spoon clattered against the side of the pot, your hands trembling, and suddenly, hot tears streamed down your face.
The sobs came out of nowhere, jagged and painful, and you leaned forward, bracing yourself against the counter, shaking with the force of your grief.
You couldnât do it anymore.
The hope, the crushing disappointment, the anger, the heartacheâit was demoralizing. Why couldnât your body do what it was supposed to? Why? Why couldnât you give Steven the one thing you both wanted so desperately?Â
You didnât hear the door open. Didnât hear the soft sound of Stevenâs keys dropping into the dish by the door. You were too lost in your sorrow, the ache that felt like it was swallowing you whole.
âLove,â Stevenâs voice, gentle and concerned, cut through the storm of your sobs. His hand was warm on your back, but you flinched, too raw to be touched just yet. âOh, love, whatâs wrong?â
He didnât ask if it was your period. He didnât need to. Youâd gone through this cycle enough times together for him to know. He moved around you, his face soft with concern, his dark eyes wide and gentle as he stepped closer.
âIâm sorry,â you choked out, wiping at your tears with the back of your hand, but more kept falling. âIâm so sorry, Steven. Iâmââ You couldnât even finish the sentence. The words lodged in your throat, thick and bitter.
Steven was there before you could crumble any further, his arms wrapping around you with a gentleness that felt like safety, like home. He didnât squeeze too tightly, knowing how fragile you felt, but he held you close enough to ground you, to remind you that you werenât alone.
âHey, hey, shh,â he whispered, his voice a soft balm against the wound in your heart. His words were warm, like the honey you often stirred into tea, the kind that coats your soul when you need it most. âYou donât have to apologize, sweetheart. Not to me. Never for this.â
But you felt like you had to.
The weight of every missed chance, every negative test, hung heavy around your entire being, and in this moment, it seemed unbearable. The tears kept coming, no matter how much you tried to stop them, and you buried your face in his chest, your shoulders shaking as you let it all out.
Every negative test, every pregnancy announcement from friends, every piece of baby clothing youâd already picked out, every article youâd read about fertility, every night youâd cried yourself to sleepâevery piece of heartbreak youâd been holding insideâit all came pouring out in his arms.
Steven held you, his hands moving in slow circles on your back, wishing he could soak up your pain, wishing he could carry more of the burden for you. âItâll be alright,â he murmured. âIt will, love. I know itâs hard, and I know it hurts. Iâm sad, too, but weâll get through this. Together. We always do.â
His words were soft, tender, and you could feel the love in every syllable. He wasnât frustrated or disappointed, not in you. That much was clear. He wasnât angry that things hadnât worked out again. He was here, holding you through the storm like he always did, trying his best to calm your racing thoughts.
âBut what ifâŠwhat if we canât?â you whispered, your voice trembling as you pulled back just enough to look at him through wet lashes. âWhat if somethingâs wrong with me, Steven? What if it never happens? Time is ticking and Iâwhat if I canât have a baby? Itâs not fair and Iâm so sick of this. What is wrong with me?â
His brow furrowed, his hands coming up to cradle your face, thumbs brushing away your tears. âThere is nothing wrong with you,â he said firmly, his voice so full of certainty that it made you ache. âNothing. And even ifâifâit doesnât happen the way we want, weâll still have each other, yeah? Weâll find our way. I promise. I married you because youâre everything Iâve ever wanted. You. Not the possibility of a baby. You.â
You shook your head, tears pooling in your eyes, overwhelmed by the sincerity in his voice. âBut I want to have a baby with you,â you whispered. âI want a little toddler running around, with your smile and curious eyes, telling me stories about Egypt before they can even pronounce the words. I want a child who grows into someone who makes the world a better place just by existing in it, just like you do. The world needs more of you, Steven, and IâI want that for us. A child to love. A family.â
âSweetie, I want all that too.â Stevenâs gaze softened, his eyes full of unshakable love. âWhenever I imagine it, I see a bright little girl with a big smile and beautiful eyes just like yours, tugging on my sleeve and asking a million questions about everything. Iâm sure my heart would explode from cuteness. And thereâs nothing Iâd love more than to see you being the incredible mum I know youâll be.â
His hands cradled your face as he spoke, his voice steady and filled with conviction. âBut that doesnât mean Iâm missing something now. You already give me everything I could ever need. Every day.â
He leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead, his breath warm against your skin. âI know itâll all work out somehow. And until then we just keep trying and being happy that we have each other, yeah? All I care about is you, love. Iâm with you, no matter what. Always.â
His words sank deep into your chest, and though the pain didnât vanish, the edge of it softened just a little. You let out a shaky breath, closing your eyes and leaning into his touch, the warmth of his presence wrapping around you like a blanket.
âI love you,â you whispered, your voice thick with emotion, the words barely making it past the lump in your throat.
âI love you too,â he whispered back, his lips brushing softly against your ear in a kiss so gentle it sent a shiver through you, making your heart ache in the sweetest way. âItâll be okay. I can feel it. Next monthânext month will be our time.â
A small, hopeful smile tugged at your lips as you looked at him, your eyes meeting his. Despite everything, his optimism was contagious, and for a moment, the weight on your shoulders felt lighter.
You smiled at him, and in his eyes, you saw a glimmer of the future you both so desperately wanted.

Masterlists
part 2
Steven Grant:
âAre you really gonna bring this up now?â
His tone had you looking at him as if he grew another head.
âWhen else would be a good time to bring this up, hmm? Because I think now is the most appropriate time,â
Steven rolled his eyes as he took off his jacket and sat on the couch facing you.
He had come home from significantly late with no explanation. You found out through social media that he went to an event celebrating Layla without informing you.
âIts late and Iâm tired,â he said as he rubbed his face and sighed heavily.
Oh, he is tired?
âYou donât think Iâm tired? I understand you have a past with Layla, but the way you go about doing things is exhausting me. All you ever do is talk about her. Everything is Layla this and Layla that,â
You explain to him out of frustration.
âShe was right about you,â he says with a hint of sass.
âWhat do you mean by that?â you asked with furrowed brows.
âI mean that maybe Layla was right about you being controlling. Why do you think I never told you where Iâm going. You wouldâve tagged along and dampened the mood.
Wow, wow. So, Layla and he talk about you.
âI canât believe the words that are coming out of your mouth. If you have an issue with the way I am then you should address it to me. Not go and talk to your EX-WIFE about it,â your voice had increased towards the end as you glared at him.
âIts not my problem if youâre insecure,â he said with a shrug.
Each word from him added more cracks to your already breaking heart.
You shook your head at him wordlessly and began to look for your bag and jacket around his apartment.
He sat upright on the couch and watched you with confused furrowed brows.
âWhatâre you doing?â
Once you gathered your things, you walked towards the door with him now trailing behind you.
âI asked you a question,â he said firmer.
You looked at him with unshed tears and saw his expression soften.
âLeaving,â was all you said before unlocking the door and walking away from him.
Steven cursed under his breath and walked after you.
âY/n, its late. Stop being ridiculous,â
That ticked your off even further. You abruptly turn around to face him.
âI donât expect you to be concerned about me anymore. Go ahead and worry about your precious Layla and her thoughts on our relationship,â
You left him standing their speechless as you exited his apartment building. Steven was left feeling an ache in his chest and the weight of his actions and words.
Marc Spector:
âLook at the state of you,â
Were the first words Marc heard upon returning to the apartment. He had been gone for days and you had no way of contacting him.
âY/n, please. I just want silence,â he said tiredly and sat lethargically on the bed.
âYou canât expect me to not be panicked when you come home with a gunshot wound. Did you even go to a hospital?â you ask in disbelief.
âI can take care of these things on my own,â he groaned and moved to face you.
âMarc, I canât keep seeing you like this,â you admit to him.
Each time he left that door you would say a silent prayer to ensure he would come back to you.
âYou knew what this relationship was going to be like-â
âYes, but I didnât expect you to be coming home like this,â you motion to his form.
Marc was growing annoyed.
âThis is my life y/n, what do you want me to do?â
Your eyes searched his tired ones as he spoke.
âExactly Marc, this is your life. I want you to take care of it,â
He scoffed at your words.
âI donât need you to tell me how to live my life,â he said bitterly.
âThatâs not what Iâm-â
âSave it, okay? I already deal with enough when it comes to Khonshu. I donât want to deal with you as well,â
âDeal with me? What? Marc, what have I ever done to make you feel like this? Me being worried about whether your alive or not upsets you?â you asked a string of questions as endless thoughts ran through your mind.
âJust go,â is all he said as he turned his back to you and laid on the bed.
You watch his form, waiting for him to take back his words, apologise⊠do something â but he just lays there.
You nod to yourself and gather your belongings to leave. It was well into the night and significantly late, but you did as he said and walked out that front door.
He laid in bed with his thoughts, thinking whether pushing you away was the right choice.
Jake Lockley:
You walked into the bar to see him stood rather close to an unknown woman.
With anger running through your veins, you walk up to him and see his eyes slightly widen when he sees your approaching him.
âWhatâre you doing here?â he asked with a monotone.
âIâve been waiting for you at home for the passed 3 hours,â you said as calmly as you could.
The woman standing close to him looked surprised at your words but made no move to walk away from the obvious situation.
âYou shouldâve kept waiting,â he said uninterested as he took a sip from his drink.
You watch him with narrowed eyes as he looked back to you.
âIs this how its going to be? Youâre going to act like a total stranger in public and my boyfriend in private?â you asked feeling hurt.
He hummed at your words and sat up straight in his seat at the bar.
âYouâre clingy,â was all he said, knowing that those words would hit you harder than anything else.
Throughout your life, you always had someone to be around. Your parents, siblings, friends and now in a foreign country you found solace with Jake spent every waking moment with him when you could. It was normal for you, and he didnât seem to mind it.
âClingy?â you asked as you choked back tears.
Jake clenched his jaw slightly before relaxing and putting his arm around the shoulders of the woman next to him.
âYou heard me,â he said with a chuckle.
You took in a deep breath to compose yourself. Clearly you were not wanted nor needed here.
âOkay, if thatâs what you think. You can have all the space you want from now on,â you said and turned to walk away.
âIs she actually you girlfriend?â asked the unnamed woman.
âOne of many, hermosa,â he said under his breath.

To Know Him Is To Love Him
summary: to know steve rogers is to love him. to know him is to keep handing over your heart over and over again. to know him is to be broken by him.
pairing: steve rogers x reader
an: quick someone give this to a boy to read and ask him what steve did wrong. it's for science.
Anon's 1K Celebration
to know him is to love him.
to know him is to stand by him.
to know him is to allow him to break your heart over and over again.
to know him is to hope that one day he'll finally see.
to know him is to be broken by him.
you can't count how many times he put you here, put in this situation. and worse, you can't count how many times you've let him put you in this situation.
three months ago...
you fix steve's tie, patting his shoulder to send him off on yet another date - after he invited himself into your apartment to get him ready for his date. you hated this feeling, the feeling of unrequited love.
you can't blame him, he doesn't know. at least, you think he doesn't know. in fact, you're sure he doesn't, he would never hurt you like that.
"i swear if this date doesn't go well, i'm swearing off women for good."
"does that mean i'm out a friend?" you tease.
"no, of course not," steve laughs. "you're my best friend. you don't count."
your smile falls at the words fall out of his mouth with ease. you don't count. you're not even a consideration. "i don't count as a woman?"
"you know what i meant. you're my friend."
you don't know what he meant. not in the slightest.
"right," you clear your throat, shaking your head with furrowed brows. "good luck on your date."
two months ago...
"i would tell him, but he's just - he's confusing," you admit. "i get a lot of mixed signals."
"men are just idiots," nat offers in consolation. "someday, he'll see. you're perfect for each other."
"thanks." you smile, walking back to your table with a fresh round of drinks. "what are you guys talking about?"
"about steve's terrible dating record," sam jokes.
"ah," you hum, you settle in the booth beside him, leaving plenty of room between the two of you.
steve frowns at you, reaching behind you and gripping your waist. without a word, he slides you until you're pressed against his thigh.
sam humorously snorts, "i don't get you two. you're attached at the hip. you're both attractive singles. make it official already."
you look to steve's reaction for any indication of what he's feeling. steve leans over, kissing your temple, "she knows she's my other half, my soulmate. we don't need labels."
"soulmate?" sam teases.
you shift uncomfortably. he never asked you that, never asked you if you wanted a label. he's never even asked you on a real date, but now he's declaring that he's your soulmate.
how blind can he be?
one month ago...
"please, i miss you, sweetheart." you squeeze your eyes shut. the term of endearment rolls so easily off his tongue. "i feel like i haven't seen you in forever."
it's intentional. you're trying to get over him. to move past these feelings. he doesn't make it easy. "i know, i've just been busy."
"how about dinner tonight? my place at 8?"
you chew on the inside of your cheek, hesitant to accept his dinner invite, "i don't know, steve."
"please, i need you."
putting distance between you and steve rogers didn't work. not when he so dutifully sought you out. not when he told you over and over again that he missed you. that he didn't know how to be without you.
his words toy with your head just enough to convince that it's a good idea to enter his gravitational orbit again.
you're not strong enough to resist the pull. you're not strong enough to to say no. you never have been.
you decide that you can't do this. you're going to tell him. you'll tell him. you'll tell him that you want to count. you'll tell him that you want him to see you.
to know him is to love him, you remember. the moment you see him, you crumble. that smile that makes it feel like your life is worthwhile. the eyes that send your rational mind into a haze. to know him is to love him.
he doesn't make it easy for you or your heart. he greets you at the door with a beaming grin, his eyes lighting up. it makes you feel like this is more than just a dinner. it feels like you're finally coming home to him.
you falter as his fingers graze your skin to take off your jacket. the apartment isn't his usual scene either. it feels like so much more than just a normal hangout. it feels... romantic. music spinning on his record player, marvin gaye, you recognize. candles lit in the center of the table. the smell of a home cooked meal simmering over the stove.
you turn to him with a nervous smile, "i thought you we were ordering pizza or something."
"i wanted to do something nice for my best girl."
his best girl.
he spends the whole dinner fawning over you. his hand rests on your leg. the other occasionally grazing the back of your hand. he asks you all about your work, about your love life.
"i missed you so much."
you're so entranced by him that your carefully thought out speech is gone, replaced by a soft whisper, "i love you."
"i love you, too." he smiles down at him. his eyes shining bright and blue. it doesn't even occur to him that you're professing your love for him. "i can't imagine my life without you."
you shake your head, reminding yourself that you had to tell him. you needed to move forward, one way or another. "no, steve, i - i'm in love with you."
an anxious chuckle leaves his mouth. his hand drops from your thigh, leaving you feeling cold, hollow, and abandoned. "what?"
you know a rejection when you see one. at least you can move on now. your heart can begin to heal. maybe in time, you could be friends again. "i just had to tell you. just once."
"i don't -" he licks his lips. "i'm sorry, i don't feel the same."
"i understand."
2 weeks ago...
you sigh at yourself, hearing the familiar ding of another voicemail on your phone.
each one chips away at your resolve, each one shatters your broken heart even more.
you told him you understood. you told him that it was okay. you spent the night consoling him. you soothed his fears that he would lose you.
in return, he made you promise to always be in his life. with a broken heart and wounded pride, you weren't strong enough to say no. you simply asked for time and a little space.
time and space that steve had no interest in giving you.
you made it easy for him. you retreated from mutual friends. from social spaces you occupied. you no longer texted or called first. you just needed time.
still, he sought you out.
you've gained enough strength to stop answering his every call and text. you've stuck to your boundaries, at least, the ones steve doesn't seem intent on steamrolling past.
you clutch your kitchen counter with your head hung low. with a couple deep breaths and reminders that he doesn't feel the same for you, you're slowly glad you didn't answer. you're proud of yourself for being strong and doing what's best for you.
at least, you're glad until there's a banging at your door.
your mending heart regrets the moment you answer.
"steve?"
"you weren't answering," he pants, clutching the frame of your doorway, "i wanted to hear your voice."
"steve..." you sputter. "this isn't - it's-"
"i just miss you," he cuts you off. he looks so heartbroken, so sincere. he misses you. you try to not make anything more of it, but then he says it again, "i miss you so much."
you stand to the side, allowing him to pass, "come in."
"thank you," he sighs in relief.
"what happened?"
"the worst date of my life."
you swear you can feel your heart fracturing. the air feels like its being squeezed out of your lungs.
and still, you stand before him trying to look as unaffected as possible. you don't know how effective it is. you don't think he sees you enough to notice either way. "you were on a date?"
"it was awful. she was vapid and boring and - and pretentious - and - and she wasn't you."
you suck in a breath, "steve..."
these were words from a man who did not love you, from a man that did not count you. they sounded an awful lot like the love he claimed he didn't feel.
suddenly, he cups your face, standing too close to you. this wasn't what friends did. this isn't how friends treated each other. you know that.
and then he kisses you. soft and tenderly. his lips mold against yours perfectly. you swear it's a sigh of relief that leaves his mouth when you don't pull away.
you smile against his lips. a sense of rightness overtakes you. he overwhelms you. he consumes you. he grips your waist tightly. the other hand caressing your cheek.
"steve.." you sigh against his lips.
and he freezes. his hands drop as though you burned him. his lips slightly swollen and shining from the kiss. he wipes his mouth, "i should go."
you shake your head. you don't want to believe that this is happening right now. this is steve. the person you loved with every fiber of your being. your friend. you trusted him. you believed in him. he wouldn't hurt you like that. even if he didn't love you, even as just a friend, he wouldn't take advantage of your love for him like that. "what?"
"i should go."
and he leaves without another word.
your heart isn't just broken anymore, it's crumbled into a million little pieces. you're not sure you'll ever be able to fix it.
1 week ago...
he's blown past all your defenses. he's drained every ounce of strength from you. he's taken everything except your broken heart and your love for him. that's all that's left of you.
to know him is to love him. to know him is to be broken by him.
he calls and this time, you answer. you fear him coming back to your apartment like he did before. your heart couldn't take it anymore.
"hi, steve." your voice is so gravelly and hollow, a shell of the fullness and life it used to contain.
you noticed everything about him. his likes, his dislikes. you could tell the day he was having by the way he said hi, by the sort of smile he gave you. you're not sure why you just realized that it's not reciprocated at all. he once told you he loved the sound of your voice, how could he not hear the broken tone? if he notices, which you're sure he doesn't, he doesn't ask.
you can hear the smile in his voice, "i'm so glad you answered."
you're not even sure that he realizes you've put the phone down. after all, you're just his space filler.
now...
you don't know why you're surprised he showed up at your door again. you're not surprised that you opened the door. you're not surprised that you let him back into your home. you're not even surprised that he's talking to you like everything is normal.
the only thing that takes you by surprise is your unwillingness to hear about the misadventures of his dating life.
"steve," you try to interrupt.
"and all i want -"
"steve."
"is for someone to really hear me, to see -"
"steve." you're surprised by the harshness in your own voice. his eyes flash over to you, widened slightly in shock. "you - you have to go now."
his brow furrow, he's taken aback. it occurs to you that he has no idea what he's done wrong. "why?"
"you know why," you spit at him.
"no, you said you understood. you said we could still be friends."
"friends?" you bitterly chuckle. "friends don't hurt their friends over and over again."
"i don't understand."
"that's the problem, steve. you don't get it. you don't get that i don't want to hear about the girls you date. you don't get that it hurts hearing you talk about what you're looking for in a woman. it hurts when call me at the end of the night because you want to hear my voice."
"they why do you answer the phone?"
"because i love you!" you hopelessly exclaim. "because iâll do anything for you. iâll do anything you say. and i think you know that."
"am i just supposed to know that you didnât want to hear about them?"
"no girl wants that," you whisper. "no one wants to hear about everything they donât have."
"i don't understand what's happening here. you promised me that you would always be in my life!" his accusing tone offends you far more than it should.
a tear slips down your cheek. "that was before."
"before? before what?"
each word hurts. he really doesn't know. he doesn't think about you at all. not as a consideration. not as a woman. not even as just a friend. he doesn't see you at all. "i can do this anymore. itâs too hard. i can - i canât keep letting you break my heart."
"i told you that i didnât feel the same. you knew i wasnât in a space to - to reciprocate."
"and then you kissed me!"
he stiffens at the kiss that he refused to mention. all those nights he spent on the phone with you, talking to you. it was the one thing he never spoke about. "i - i know that wasnât right. and iâm sorry, okay? iâm sorry i did that. i was hurting."
"you were hurting?" your breaths come out in fragments, with each heave of your chest you can hear the whistle of emptiness where your heart used to reside. "you - you knew how i felt and you knew you didnât feel the same and you kissed me anyway."
"it was a mistake. i'm sorry."
your hands ball up in frustration, tear burn at the corners of your eyes. "itâs not just about the kiss. itâs - itâs everything. itâs you. you wonât let me go. let me move on. please."
steve staggers back, "i donât- i'm not trying to hold on to you."
"why did you call me the other night?"
"because youâre my friend. youâre the person i wanted to talk to. you understand. you always understand."
"i donât. i donât understand. it crushed me."
he reaches out for your hand. hurt flashes in his eyes when you snatch it out of his reach. you can't let him blind you this time. "youâre always there for me. even when no one else is, you are."
you snort, "you donât even know what you did wrong, do you?"
"youâre my best friend. i just - i wanted you hear your voice."
"you see? you keep messing with my head. you tell me that i'm the person you want to talk to at the end of the night. you tell people that i'm your soulmate. you tell me that you donât feel the same. i tell you i want to move on. you kiss me. then you go on a date with another girl. when it doesnât work out, you call me. i'm done. i canât do this anymore. loving you is breaking me far beyond repair."
"i do love you."
you fervently shake your head over and over again, "you donât mean that."
"i love you and i know itâs not in the same way but maybe - just give me time."
"time isnât going to fix this. you donât love me. you love the way i make you feel. you love being loved."
he scoffs, shooting a glare at you, "thatâs not fair."
"no, itâs not," you agree. "and itâs not fair that you know how i feel and yet you just keep hurting me. you do it over and over again. and i keep letting you."
steve reaches for you again, "we can fix this."
you shake him off, striding to your door, opening it for him, "you should go."
"please," steve begs.
"goodbye, steve."
you don't know how you gather the strength to close the door on the man you love more than anything, let alone the man begging to stay in your life. the door clicks shut behind him.
a choked sob escapes your mouth as tears freely fall.
to know him is to love him, and you don't want to know a thing about steve rogers anymore.

MOON BOYS X READER
âË.âđŻïžââș. FIRST NIGHT TOGETHER : 4.2K WRDS
A/N : Originally, my goal with these preferences was to try write more than 1k words. I ended up writing a lot more as you can tell by the word count! Iâm really proud of myself for that to be honest. Anyway, hereâs some preferences for staying at the Moon Boysâ flat for the first night after spending some time with them. Warning for a pinch of angst with Stevenâs, anxiety with Marcâs, and badly written Spanish in Jakeâs (sorry </3)
STEVEN GRANT .
You and Steven have been friends for a while now. Both of you moved into the same apartment building around the same week. With the agreement to make the most of it, the two of you decided you would meet up every evening after Stevenâs shift to talk.
Sometimes you guys would simply talk and youâd give him a ride home since he didnât have a license. Other times, youâd greet each other with the goofiest grins with the knowledge that you planned an outing or movie night together.
Earlier today, he came beaming to you at your guysâ usual hang-out spot about how a coworker of his asked him out. The stars were fresh in the sky, the sun only had set a little bit ago. The wind was getting his thick curls messier than they already had been from his long work day. He squinted while looking for you and immediately smiled when he found you. The last thing you wouldâve expected was for him to tell you about going on a date with his coworker, let alone someone he barely knew.
He was doing his usual when he was excited; talking with his hands, exaggerating his facial expressions, changing his tone with each little word.
As much as you were admiring him at that moment, it did wring your heart dry. Hearing him ramble about how excited, happy, and confident he was about this date felt like a stab in the chest. You didnât know why.
You had never felt the need to stop him from doing something. Hell, you always encouraged Steven to follow his heart and do what he desired. At that moment, you were regretting it heavily. All the encouragement. All the praising. All the pep talks. All of it led up to him accepting a date with one of his damn coworkers.
âYou alright? Got something bothering you, mate? Hello,â he had asked with concern. He stopped with the exaggeration for a second to check up on you. You couldnât convince yourself that man didnât have feelings for you. Yet, you shook your head no and shrugged your shoulders. You hated having to lie to him or try to shove your feelings to the side. âItâs nothing. Just happy for you! I canât believe someone finally asked you out,â you explained to him with your hand on his bicep. It lingered there for a moment before slowly sliding down to his forearm, and wrist, and settling on his hand. His pulse was a little fast as you had felt it throb under your thumb. Both of you gave each other an unnecessarily long but welcomed gaze. His pulse quickened.
Steven got a bit flushed and instinctively pulled his hand out from under your palm. The bench beneath your hand was cold and wet from the rain earlier today. You were already missing the warmth of his flesh, but he was right fucking in front of you.
âWhy does this hurt so bad,â you ask yourself now as you sit on your bed. Youâve been asking yourself this since you got back to your flat. Youâre beating yourself up for thinking about him so much. âThat bitch doesnât even know him! I donât know why she thinks she deserves a second of his time. Sheâs not nearly enough for him. Sheâs not good enough for him,â you growl to yourself in anger. Out of your rage, you start to do something that you never do unless Stevenâs over. You grab some popcorn, slam it in the microwave, and impatiently get your couch ready for a movie marathon.
âI bet he only gave her a chance because sheâs so far out of his league that he wouldâve felt bad about rejecting her. Maybe Donna treats her better than she treats Steven so sheâs using him to get some praise and maybe a promotion,â you mutter through gritted teeth while walking around your flat, tossing pillows and throwing blankets onto your couch.
Then comes a knock. You and Stevenâs knock. The one that lets you two know youâre the one whoâs knocking. Your rage pauses as you stand there in silence. âHiya⊠The date didnât go too well, just letting you know. Iâll be in my flat if you need me,â he explains to you before you hear him walk off. Your heart that was previously wrung of all concern for him as he explained the situation to you earlier soaked up his words like a sponge.
You internally debated what the best thing to do would be. However, your brain interrupts itself when the microwave begins beeping. A groan leaves your lips as you shuffle over to grab the popcorn. You hold the bag in your hands before realizing that this is the solution. This was what would help Steven feel better. A movie marathon together. You and him alone, cuddled up on the couch, snacking on popcorn, making the dumbest comments as you both watch.
You take no time throwing on your pajamas, grabbing your phone, and getting anything else you need while the popcorn cools on the counter. It almost falls on the floor when you try to grab it the first time, but you thankfully catch it. You run out your door, walk a few feet, and knock on Stevenâs. âSteven, can we have a movie night together? Please,â you plead. You know he can be a bit selfless sometimes, but you need him to know youâre concerned about him right now. No excuses, no lies. âI just wanna do something to cheer you up. You sounded so sad when you were at my door earlier. Iâm sorry for not answering. Iâm here for you now,â you anxiously ramble before his figure greets you. âGuess it wouldnât hurt. Donât have work tomorrow either,â he comments as the slightest smile begins to creep onto his face.
The two of you let out a deep sigh once youâre settled on his bed. He explained he didnât want to sit on the couch because he wanted to be comfortable. Feeling pity for him, you quickly accepted his request for you guys to get cozy under his covers.
âThere we go! Much better, yeah,â he asks while looking at you. Despite Stevenâs flat being dark aside from his laptop screen, his eyes seem to be softer. His gaze reminds you of the moment you shared earlier. His flesh getting warmer. His pulse throbbed quicker under your touch.
âNow, let me just get my computer going,â he murmurs, pulling you out of your memories. You smile back at him and nod softly. A soft giggle leaves your lips as he awkwardly pushes it to you. As much as a nerd he is, heâs never been tech-savvy. You quickly start up the movie while Steven moves back and forth on his thighs. Once it loads, you push the computer in front of you two and pull the covers over your lap.
In due time, you and Steven finally cuddle against each other. Your knees are tucked up under your stomach with your shins pressed against his thighs. Your arms loosely circle his hips while one of his hands is settled on your waist. Your head rests against his bicep. The only sounds that fill his flat are the movieâs audio, sheets ruffling, wind whistling against the window and the sound of deep breathing.
âI wanna let you know Iâm sorry for ignoring my feelings,â Steven starts. You donât look up at him but still display a confused expression on your face. âI love you. I have loved you. Iâm sorry for not telling you sooner,â he says. You can feel his skin begin to heat. Before he can start to verbally apologize and insist he didnât mean it, you let him know what youâve wanted to say for a while. âI love you too, Steven,â you assure him. You lean forward, pressing yourself against his thigh and torso to give his lips a soft and gentle kiss. He kisses you back with the same loving energy. Itâs a back-and-forth of soft pecks and lingering kisses before both of you grow too tired to continue. You fall asleep with your limbs tangled with one anotherâs, finally at peace with your feelings for each other.
MARC SPECTOR .
Anxious. If there was one word to describe Marc Spector when heâs around you, it would be anxious. Sweaty palms, clammy hands, flickering gaze, and an inability to be still. He started acting this way when both of you had a conversation about your mutual feelings.
Itâs been almost a month since that conversation. Now the two of you sat at the warm, homey restaurant that wasnât too far from his flat. Marcâs gaze was pitiful. He looked at you with his big, brown eyes that were all glossy from the reflection of the light.
âYou look amazing tonight, love,â he told you tenderly. Your cheeks warm before you attempt to return the compliment. âAnd I could say the same. You always look so good no matter what you wear,â you beamed.
He reached his hand on top of the table, beckoning your own to join his. You chuckle softly and put your palm against his. His fingers make their way under your hand until they meet his thumb to carefully wrap around yours. He slowly runs his thumb against the soft flesh between two of your fingers. You sigh at the gentle gesture. Even before the shared confession, Marc was always prone to being gentle with you, whether it was his words or his actions.
Both of your eyes shared the same sight. A warm meal in front of you, the light from the inside of the restaurant shining perfectly onto your loverâs face, and the most welcoming hand lovingly wrapped around your own. None of this felt real. This mustâve been what Marc felt like all the time; terrified that this was just a dream or a hallucination. Luckily both of those anxieties were false. Neither of you had anything to worry about. Both of you were real and both of you were here to stay with each other.
After a few minutes of admiration and silence, you slip your hand away from his so you can both begin to eat. Hums and quiet groans of satisfaction leave your lips. Despite the restaurant not being a main chain, it had some of the best damn food youâve ever eaten. It doesnât even take you two hours to finish your meals. You and Marc have decided that youâll each pay half if the two of you plan a date together, rather than on your own. He holds your hand while you walk over to the side of the street, hailing a taxi for you two.
Now the two of you are at his apartment complex. You immediately notice his anxious mannerisms getting more apparent. âIs something wrong, Marc,â you ask sweetly, not wanting to assume anything. âYeah. Iâm fine, darling,â he assured you, nervously biting his bottom lip. You squeeze his hand a bit to remind him that you love him. He squeezes back with a bit more force.
The elevator takes you up to his floor. He fumbles with his keys as you guys make your way to his flat. âGive me a second,â he mutters while fumbling with his key ring. He gets the key in and takes a deep breath before turning it to open the door. His expression tells you that his mind is racing with unwelcome thoughts. âCome on in,â he says hesitantly while motioning you to go in as he takes the key from the lock.
Youâre somewhat confused. Marc had never let you come over to his flat. You assumed that his mental illness caused his place to be a bit of a wreck, maybe he found the state of it embarrassing, or he simply liked being at your place more. Your brows furrow as you take in the area. It isnât nearly as bad as you expected it to be. Sure the whole flat has papers and books scattered across it, but not in a way that makes it look like a mess. However, Marc quickly objects to your internal dialogue as if he could read your mind.
âShit,â he muttered. âI know itâs a mess. Iâm sorry. I didnât have time to clean up before we just spontaneously planned our date tonight,â he groaned wearily, running a hand through his hair. âMarc, donât say that. Your flat is just about as messy as mine. Plus, I donât expect you to have a picture-perfect place! You live here. Itâll get a little messy from day-to-day life,â you told him with a soft smile. You set down the bag youâd brought to stay the night before walking over to him. Your arms encircled his waist and rested at the small of his back. His muscles tensed in response to your touch. You leaned your head to press your face against his chest. âI promise itâs fine. I already feel at home,â you hummed while adding a bit of pressure to your embrace. He sighed deeply before giving in to your reassurance. He nodded his head in agreement and returned the gentle gesture. His arms reached from his sides to your neck, one hand tracing circles on your shoulder blade while the other rubbed the back of your head. He tilted your head up from his chest and smiled. âThereâs that stunning face I love so much,â he cooed softly before kissing your forehead. âDo you ever stop,â you tease while cocking your head to the side. âWhat? Loving you? Never,â he replied before giving you a quick squeeze.
The next few minutes are the most soothing and peaceful youâve had in a long time. The way Marc holds you feels so protective and safe. Your shared body warmth helps both of you melt into each other. His heart beats heavily in his chest while you press your bodies together. A soft, slow sway is shared between you. Heavy breathing, quiet mumbles of only the most tender words, hands fiddling with the fabric of the otherâs clothes.
âYou ready for bed yet, baby,â he asks softly, leaning forward to whisper to you. He gently kisses your neck while awaiting your answer. Your hand reaches up to play with his dark curls and you begin to hum with satisfaction from the kisses. âMm. I guess,â you drag out in a sigh. âLetâs get you to bed then,â he mumbles. Before leading you to his bed, Marc smiles against your neck, giving the soft skin a small nip.
You manage to maneuver over to his bed as he continues to stay glued to you. He turns you around and flops back on his bed, pulling you on top of him securely. You let out a bit of a yell when he does that. He pulls his arms tighter around your waist and kisses the nape of your neck. âFuck. That feels so good,â he groans. This man loves having you close, having you lay on him, smelling you, sweet things like that. However, they all came from a deep-rooted fear of losing you or that youâre simply a hallucination. So any time he convinces, or forces, you to lay on top of him, he is in utter bliss.
You start to get a little antsy in his grasp. His arms hold you tightly, but you still tilt side to side. âMarc! You can let me go now,â you exclaim playfully. He grunts in disagreement. âIâm not letting you go.â You sigh softly before moving all of your weight to one side. As expected his arms stay around your waist. He was insistent on not letting you go.
âYou win,â you groan softly. He moves his body so he can rest his head on the crook of your neck. âI know, darling. Now we can go to sleep since we have that settled,â he hums against your skin. Both of you fall asleep entangled with each other. His arms stay around your waist like a harness as your hands lay on top of his.
JAKE LOCKLEY .
You and Jake had a date arranged. It was more of him planning a surprise for you and you agreeing to it. Nonetheless, you were intensely excited.
As he requested, you packed a bag to stay the night at his place and had your pajamas on. It was a bit suspicious. You had high hopes that he wasnât going to attempt to take you somewhere in the state you're in right now. Youâve continually had a habit of doing one or two little things just to make sure you felt attractive. As you thought about how Jake loved to fuck around with you, he never did it in a publicly humiliating way. The idea was swift to flee your mind as briefly as it came.
You hear a hard and heavy knock on your door that made you gasp. That was definitely him. The way heâd knock so harshly never failed to get a reaction out of you. You shake your head in disapproval while moving to grab your bag. âIâll be there in a second, Jake,â you shout to him. âHurry up, precioso! I want to see that face Iâve missed so much,â he weeps almost childishly. You roll your eyes at his pouting while hauling your bag to your door. You open it and snicker to yourself. He was wearing his pajama just like you were. He definitely had a good plan for the two of you.
âThereâs my favorite cabbie,â you beam, your hands quickly reaching to his face. His stubble prickles your hand and presses harder against it when he smiles lovingly at you, his teeth displayed just for his lover. You cant help but smile back at him with the same amount of love on your lips. Your thumbs rub along his cheekbone before you lean forward to kiss him. He hums against your lips before both of you pull back. You move your hands from his stubble inhabited face, down to his chest. His own hand move to rest on your hips, treating them like handles for his hands to hold on to. âI guess you beat me to our little kiss this time. I bet you a back rub that Iâll get you first next time, cariño,â he promised you playfully. You knew he would because he stayed true to his word when it came to you. That didnât mean you wouldnât challenge his words. âSure you will,â you replied.
He led you to his taxi, smiling and rambling about his little surprise the whole way there. You loved the way the would talk to you when you didnât give him any feedback. You could swear on your life that if you never spoke again, he would still find some way to keep talking to you. Once the two of you reached his taxi, he dramatically cleared his throat. âDonât even try, ĂĄngel,â he quips with the assumption that you would try to open the door for yourself like you did last time, which ended in a horribly long lecture about how you deserve to be treated like royalty. You feign disappointment as he politely walks you to the passenger side of the car. Before your hand can even reach the handle in attempts to mess with him, he grabs your hand and clicks his tongue at you. âDios mĂo,â he mutters before opening the door for you. âNow you can get in,â he says while motioning for you to enter the car. Just to make Jake sure that you wonât keep playing with him, you gently hold his free hand so you can safely step into the vehicle without tripping. âSafety first,â he hums before grabbing the seatbelt and buckling you in. He leans down to kiss your cheek before shutting the door. He enters the driverâs side rather quickly as if heâs in a rush. âLetâs get going,â he says happily as he begins driving his taxi.
During the drive to wherever Jake is taking you, he keeps asking you question after question. âHow was your day?â âDid work go well for you?â âYou remember that I love you, right, mi vida?â You groan, chuckle, sigh, give any reaction you can to his questions. âJake! Enough with the questions,â you tease as you softly nudge his arm. âIâve told you anything you could ask about me. I swear youâve got enough information to write a biography on me,â you continue with a playful smile. âOkay, okay, my apologies, precioso,â he chuckles in response to your teasing before he parks in front of a tall building. âBut thereâs one more question I have to ask you. I promise itâs the last one for now,â he swears while holding your hand for a genuine effect. âWanna have a sleepover,â he asks with that same goofy grin on his face from earlier. He smiles so hard and hopefully that his mustache pushes up against his nose. âPlease,â he asks sweetly while squeezing your hand. You return the happy expression and nod in agreement. That was his plan this whole time. Get you dressed up nice and cozy in your pajamas, drive you to his apartment at night on a route you havenât been through before, and invite you to have a damn sleepover. God, you couldnât get enough of this man and his stupidly tender ideas. âYeah, we can have a sleepover,â you chuckle softly.
Once you two reach his flat he opens the door, like a gentleman of course, for you. You thank him with a kiss on the cheek that earns you a soft smile and a thanks of his own. âWhere should I set my stuff,â you ask him awkwardly. âGive it here, hermoso,â he says, practically beaming at the idea of helping you once more. Without hesitation you hand the bag over to him. He takes it and sets it under his desk before sitting on his bed and waving you over with his arms. âCome on, doll. Iâm not going to bite you,â he pouts before he begins to grasp the air like youâre just out of reach. You sigh at his whining and walk over to his bed with a smile.
He doesnât even let you sit down before he clings to you. He pulls you between his legs by the waist as you stand in front of him, letting out a soft gasp when he does so. He slightly lifts your shirt up, just enough so your stomach is exposed. He sighs softly before leaning forward to press his face against it. âMuy bueno,â he purrs as he feels the warmth of your stomach heat his face. He hums with his cheek pressed to your stomach as his hands slide up and down the back of your thighs. You canât do anything except bite the inside of your cheek and blush as he continues. âTan bueno para mĂ,â he praises, emphasizing that itâs for him. âJake,â you whine softly. He lets out a soft grunt in response. âIâd prefer if you let me lay down before I faint from how affectionate youâre being,â you plead to him. Out of respect for you, he sighs and releases you from his grasp. You ruffle his hair a bit before crawling under the covers and awaiting for him to do the same. He follows soon after, now looking at you with those gorgeous brown eyes of his. He pulls you flush against him with his arms crossed behind your back. âYou never said anything about not giving you affection while you lay down,â he says playfully while smiling. Youâre already flushed again just by the idea. He shifts a bit further up along the bed so he can begin to shower you with love.
He starts at your forehead, pecking every inch of skin he can get. His hands crawl up from your shoulder blades to the back of your head so he can caress you loving and hold you in place. He moves to your cheeks and nose, hands coming to cup your face. He kisses from your left cheek, kisses your nose once before pausing for a moment to make some savory eye contact, then moves on to your right cheek. He pulls back for a second and you give each other a knowing look. âPlease,â you whisper to him in a gentle tone. âAnything for you, mi corazĂłn,â he mutters back. His hands come to cup your jaw on either side, thumbs brushing your cheeks as his other fingers lightly grasp the area behind your ears. He kisses your lips softly before pulling back. You give him a pitiful look before kissing him back. You keep going at it with each other, eventually letting the kisses linger for a few seconds, then adding your tongues into the mix. Itâs a little messy, but itâs so tender. âI love you more than anything, mi vida. Anything,â he says to you before kissing you one last time, lips pressed to yours as if theyâre a lifeline for him. You hum softly in satisfaction as he shifts your body for you, pressing your head to his chest and resting his chin on top of your head. He traces shapes with his fingers and scratches your back gently until youâre asleep in his secure embrace.
