pushing boundaries

all those hairy chest pics (esp this one) have me thinking of best friend/roommate soap who’s way too comfortable being shirtless naked around you. (soap who's way too comfortable pushing boundaries.)

18+, general boundary pushing, creepy soap, dubcon (forcing reader to touch him, but reader wants it), again - not as dark as a lot of things on here but i’m not very experienced in writing dubcon so 😅

he could be doing anything, and if he felt like showing himself off to you, he would find some excuse to do it.

if he was cooking? "what? the kitchen's too hot, bonnie! sweatin' my arse off in here." the entire time you were helping him cook, you'd be forced to watch his muscles ripple and flex, all shiny with sweat. your eyes would wander involuntarily, studying each scar and bruise that littered his tan freckled skin. from where you stood beside him , you could see where dark hair grew on his chest and stomach. you gulp as you see the tufts of hair that trailed down his stomach and into his sweatpants. you would be so distracted from ogling at him that you didn't see his lips stretch into a smirk.

if you two were watching a movie? "come on, bonnie," he drawls out as he lays back into the couch, eyes burning into your flustered form. with a grunt, he stretches his arm out and around your shoulders. he's so casual about it too - as if his muscular arm wasn't pressed flush against you, as if his body heat wasn't flooding your body, as if his natural musk wasn't flooding your nostrils. as if you couldn't see every ridge and ripple of his abs, every scar that you wanted to lick. as if you couldn't see every strand and curl of hair that littered his chest and abs. as if you couldn't see the patch of dark hair that trailed down past his waistband... no doubt covering the base of his cock that was also rock hard. "am i not allowed to be comfortable in my own home?" he would murmur the words in your ear, his breath fanning your sensitive skin and making you shiver.

the latter is when he's the worst. in addition to shedding his shirt and leaving his chest all exposed, he purposefully takes up a good chunk of the couch so you're forced to cuddle with him. if you've already taken your seat when he comes to sit down, he quickly stretches out and invades your bubble of personal space. not too long after, his heavy body will be stretched out on top of you. his head will usually be buried in your chest, nestled between the valley of your breasts. you try and ignore the way his hands always find a way to grope your tits.

if he's not laying on you, his gaze will be burning into you the whole time. he knows you stare (even if you try not to), he can feel your eyes sneak a glance at his exposed chest before darting away. he can see how your eyes widen and how your pulse thrums against your neck. he can see how flustered turned on you are, and he means to take full advantage of that.

“like what ye see?” he grins, drinking in every detail of your expression, committing to memory how you looked so skittish with your wide eyes and bitten lips. he couldn't suppress the chuckle that rumbled from his chest as you stumbled on your words.

"wha- i don't know what you're talking about!" your mouth gapes as you try to avoid his gaze, suddenly finding the mundane movie in front of you so interesting. much more interesting than the hard wall of muscle pressed up against you, whispering filthy things in your ear.

"no? yer not droolin' over yer best friends body?" he moves impossibly closer, tightening his hold on your shoulders and pulling you even tighter against him. as he spoke, his mouth came even closer to your ear until you could feel his lips grazing it. your breath hitched before you could help it. "yer not too busy starin' at me to watch the movie you picked out?" he nips at your ear.

you try to focus back on the movie, just ignoring him and not rewarding him with a reaction. if anything to just try and shed the embarrassing cloud hanging over you. if you were lucky, maybe he would forget about all of it and let you keep a shred of your dignity. not by a long shot.

"hey, hey, none of that." he chides harshly, using his free hand to grab your jaw and force you to look at him. your heart pounded in your ears as you were forced to stare up into your best friends eyes, and therefore being forced to see his hairy chest in your periphery. he feels your pulse race under his grip. he feels you gulp nervously. he laughs, all husky and hearty from deep in his chest.

he gives your jaw a good squeeze, almost daring you to look away.

when he's sure, and only when he's sure, that you won't move, he lets go of your jaw.

you almost sigh in relief when he lets your jaw go, but that's quickly cut short when he grabs your hand and makes you touch him. anywhere and everywhere.

you gasp as he holds your hand against his chest, feeling him so warm and sturdy underneath your palm. you try and pull your hand away but he just clicks his tongue in disapproval, and that's all it takes for you to get back in line.

as he forces you to touch his chest, you feel every detail you had spent so long staring at. you feel every scar and bruise that littered his skin, every tuft of hair that covered his chest. you could even feel his heartbeat race under your palm.

not long after he had initially yanked your hand to touch him was he now moving your hand down the span of his abs. you could feel every ridge and bump of his abs under your hand, as well as his hair growing thicker the further he moved your hand.

"yeah? ye like that?" he damn near purred in your ear as he watched your expression. he knew you would love him, love his body. he could tell you were enjoying being able to feel him up, no matter how nervous you acted.

speaking of nerves, he made sure to act fast before you yanked your hand away. he might not let you, but still.

"what about.. this?" he whispered in your ear as he finally slipped your hand into his sweatpants and planted your soft hand on his thick, throbbing cock. he heard your breath hitch in shock, but you didn't try to pull your hand away. "mmm, yeah. i knew you'd like my cock."

[popeheywa]

on a late tuesday afternoon, you open your bleary eyes to the familiar atmosphere of the chateau. the sun streaks through the shutters, chopped up rays shining over your body sprawled out onto the couch.

the night before comes back in bits and pieces (as it always does), memories of solo cups, weed and keggers filling your mind. it reminds you of why you were here, and not at your house.

there's a tanned forearm slung over your middle, and the brim of a cap nudging your jaw as a warm body stirs against your left side. you look down, blonde tufts of hair tickling your neck as the body shifts up against you.

jj maybank; impulsive thinker, quick to shoot bullets and the biggest teddy bear you know.

he lets out a quiet grumble, tugging you closer as if you had moved away. it evokes a quiet chuckle out of you, and he stirs, a sleepy lopsided grin on his lips.

"mornin', mama," he drawls in his southern accent, and your hand shifts to absentmindedly draw patterns on his muscled back with a tired pointer finger.

"hey, j," you greet back, a smile of admiration on your lips.

"...how long you been up?" he asks after a beat of silence.

"not long," you reply, "long enough to watch you sleep for a bit."

a comfortable silence takes over the room before jj speaks again.

"creepy-ass."

you both break out into dazed giggling, and jj presses a kiss to your exposed collarbone, which is partly covered by your (his) polo.

"surprised you're coherent with how much you drank from the kegger," you chuckle, turning your head to look down at him.

"c'mon, babe. papa j doesn't let alcohol turn him stupid."

"you gotta stop talking about yourself in the third person," you retort, and jj props himself up on an elbow to look down at you with a teasing look.

"don't act like you hate it."

he takes one of his large hands and presses your cheeks together to smush your face, pressing a firm kiss to your lips.

"mm," you playfully hum, pretending to savour the taste, "keg beer."

he scoffs.

"shut up, kid," jj rolls his eyes sassily. "always tryin' to sass me."

he kisses you again, moving the hand smushing your cheeks together to tug you closer by the waist. he smirks gently against your lips when you start kissing back, fingers sliding under the fabric of your shirt.

after about a minute, you gently pull back, moving to straddle his hips as you sit up. your right hand moves to the brim of his hat, and smoothly pries it off of his head, before placing it on your head backwards.

jj smiles up at you, hand coming up to lazily stroke your jaw.

"you're beautiful, mama," he murmurs.

his hand comes to cup your left cheek, his lower three fingers pressing gently into your jaw to tug you down.

"now come back down here 'fore everybody wakes up."

September prompt 02

Rating: PG

Pairing: Mammon X F!Reader

CW: mentions of gambling

Word count: Roughly .5K

A/N: Prompt number two, based on the dialogue "This reminded me of you"

Images belong to Solmare.

Sitting in the living room with your legs crossed and a book across your lap, quirking your nose as you read the last paragraph again. It must be the fifth time and it still isn’t making sense to you. “Looks like another one to ask Satan about.” Reaching beside you to grab a tab to mark the section. 

“Hey, hey, hey!” Almost jumping out of your skin at the sound of Mammon’s voice, a hand over your heart to try and keep it from bursting out of your chest. 

“Mammon! Are you trying to kill me!” Narrowing your eyes as you glare at him. “You almost gave me a heart attack.” 

“Don’t be like that.” Sending you a pout that has your annoyance fading away as he looks at you through his lashes, his sunglasses sliding down the bridge of his nose. 

“How was the casino?” Rolling your eyes as you go back to your text book, flipping to a new page and hoping this one might have information to make the series of tabs you didn’t understand make sense. 

“Didn’t go.” Flopping down beside you on the couch, and you turn with your eyebrows raised in disbelief. “Oy, what’s that look for?” 

“It doesn’t sound like you, that’s what it’s for. You just got paid for a modeling job didn’t you?” As much as you’re fond of Mammon his antics do wear on your nerves. Him being the Avatar of Greed doesn’t explain his need to blow his money all the time. You’d think he’d hoard his grimm like some kind of dragon, hissing and spitting at anyone getting close to his treasure. 

“I did.” He’s sulking now and you know you aren’t going to continue your attempts at studying. Closing the book and giving it a soft toss to the empty space beside you. 

“Come on Mams, you know I didn’t mean it like that.” Reaching your arm over and dropping your hand onto his shoulder, giving it a squeeze through the leather of his jacket. 

“Oy, watch where ya grab! This thing’s limited edition!” Swatting at your hand to get it off him, only to trap your fingers between his. “I know ya didn’t mean it in a bad way.” Twisting your hand as he brings it closer to his chest. “Just wish ya didn’t jump ta conclusions.” 

“Mammon, you go to the casino all the time. It’s not really a conclusion but I am sorry I assumed.” Letting him play with your plam and fingers as long as he wants, tilting your head as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out something you can’t see before slipping it into your hand. 

“This reminded me of you.” Opening your hand you laugh, it’s a small metal sheep charm with pink stones embedded to simulate tufts of fur. “Ya like it?” 

“I do.” Leaning closer to peck his cheek, the tanned skin darkening as he starts to blush. “Thank you, Mammon.” Pulling your keys from your pocket and attaching it to the ring. “I’ll think of you whenever I unlock something.” He’s grinning now, not saying anything and neither do you aware that if you go to much more into it he’ll get up and leave. 

Silly Mammon and his Tsundere ways.

chapter 10

Gold. Suffocating and blinding as it cascades upon the pale mounds and curves of your vessel. Your eyes a hue of darkness behind the shielding lids, your temples a pounding rhythm parallel to the beats you once waltzed amongst.

Your lips part, slumber’s dance with you slowly cascading into nothingness as luminous rays return to greet you. To tug your soft palms back into your reality.

Your lashes, fanned against your flushed skin now fan apart as your gaze is greeted with unavoidable radiance. The morning.

A breath leaves you, trembling as it greets the cool air. You force yourself upright and it is then that blood rushes from where it once lay dormant and pooled to spread itself evenly throughout you— enticing pins and needles from the tips of your fingers and toes.

You feel like a creature undead, following the actions as you would normally but in an imposter’s stance. Your feet drag you to the dimmer kitchen, and your temples are grateful to be secluded from the sun and its warmth.

A yawn overtakes your exhausted features as you open the russet metal of your refrigerator door. You must be dreaming still. It’s stocked with fresh fruits and produce bagged in tan wrappings. Your eyes wander over each welcoming color in the once vacant and lonesome, cold and gray space.

It’s lively now.

A burst of red peeking through behind awful greens piques your interest, and you bury your hands in the tufts of healthy emerald to pull the sweet basket filled to brim with blossomed strawberries. They are fresh and plentiful.

You truly are dreaming.

No longer do you notice the ache pounding at you. You only see red in the purest of ways. You shut the door with your foot and examine the seeded berry with hungry eyes before encasing your teeth round the plumpness of it.

It isn’t long before you part the ripe treat with pearly teeth, and you moan gratefully when you do. Juice drops from each corner of your mouth, down your chin as your lips suckle the nectar and swallow it in quick motion.

It’s the best one you’ve ever had.

Another bite, then another berry and another. You can only hear the soft chews of fresh fruit and sharp seed alongside the blood pumping in your ears.

You don’t hear the scorching water cascading to drain halt, and you don’t hear the rest until your eyes can register what your ears cannot.

As you munch upon the berries, you blink when a phantom creature turns the knob of your dilapidated washroom door and creaks the shield open. Steam rolls out into your living space like the waves of Poseidon’s great seas— but the only god to greet you beyond the mist is not one of oceans and pretty things.

It’s the evil one.

Hades.

Miguel.

A soft gasp leaves you as you swallow in the sight with dazed eyes, tufts of chocolate locks are coiled and dripping water all over your wooden floors. His suit pants are there as always, but his jacket is not present. No, not now. Only a white undershirt, tight to the body and tucked away into where a belt constricts is all he wears.

You gulp down the remainder of fruit you forgot to swallow and allow the severed berry to drop into its basket.

The man sighs, scrunching at his hair with the towel before tossing it on your couch. That would annoy you if you weren’t so baffled right here.

His eyes search the couch for you, and when he finds you vacant from your waltz with slumber— he scans the room quickly before settling on your frozen stance in the kitchen.

He locks eyes with you.

“Good morning.”

He says it with amusement, you’re certain. Laced behind his throat.

It is eerie, it is polar opposite.

He looks— calm.

Your mouth is ajar, you remind yourself to close it.

“I- what?”

He pays your confusion no mind as he approaches, weaving through your pathetic and unimportant home like he’s become comfortable with it— like he’s learned it.

He towers over all your trinkets and furniture, and the singular stool is bound to collapse under his weight. He eyes the broken thing then decides to lean forward against the counter instead.

You gulp, remnants of strawberry juice staining the newfound dryness in your throat. And the enigma of a man, he just studies you for a moment before turning over his palm. Waiting.

You gaze at it in confusion, wondering if he’s pointing out something upon you that you can’t see. Yet his eyes are on the basket.

Oh.

You pluck one from its leafy stem and shakily place it upon his calloused palm. His eyes lock back upon yours and he clears the tart berry in one bite— licking the juice from his lips with an eager tongue.

You squirm— knowing not what to do other than just slide over the basket. The silence is suffocating, reminding you of only two weeks prior when you practically begged the man before you for a place of employment alongside er— below him.

“I didn’t buy these!” You blurt out. Because you don’t know what else to say to break the quiet and because the thought only now crossed your mind. You know now. No appearance with him is any possibility of a dream.

The smell of palo santo is muted now. He smells of your floral soaps.

He indulges in another.

“I know. I did. Your fridge was pathetic.”

Oh.

Your eyes fall to the countertop, unwilling to meet his own. It’s far too tense, and far too confusing. You’re far too dazed.

“Why are you-?”

He interrupts you as if he had been expecting the question, “You were acting drunk, and stupid. I brought you home.”

You’d scowl at his description of you if you weren’t still coming to, searching the chilled air for answers you’d rather not be forced to ask of him. You knew well that you’d have to— he wouldn’t offer them any other way.

He must enjoy the torture. Inflicting it.

You narrow your eyes and the expression may seem devoid to most— but something tells you there’s more within it.

Fine, then.

Christ.

You shake your head, hearing him chew upon another berry as you greet your newly stocked fridge and steal a water from its stomach. Your back is to him as you swallow down heavy sips. You sigh after, and when the coolness has shocked you awake enough and you are satisfied- you turn.

A cool breath of air kisses your breast as result of the motion, and your eyes widen, shooting down to find a silken robe of powder pink all but you have clad on alongside your panties. It’s slipping.

Your eyes dart up to find him staring intensely at the spot where it does slip, and you twirl back away to harshly tug at it and fix it.

Your breasts are bare— your dress is gone.

Your jaw ticks and you turn again— taking quick strides toward the counter where he resides on the opposite side of.

“Did you fuck me?”

He is silent, eyes glazed over as if he’s lost in thoughts you cannot see or be apart of. He takes a moment to absorb your words, fingers twitching against the berry they clasp before he blinks and his dark orbs lock against your again.

They send an inferno against your flushed cheeks.

He hums.

You don’t know what at, but you have a strong feeling it’s at the thought.

You know, the thought of fucking you.

He stares on at you as he takes a bite of the berry, and slowly shakes his head back and forth.

It’s a no.

You sigh, but you’re not relieved.

You’re silent again, shakily taking a seat upon your creaky stool across from him. You fear if you stand for any longer under the brunt of his gaze, you’ll faint.

You bury your face in your hands, and you feel his eyes against your golden locks. The place where he stares, your scalp prickles.

Wood slides against chipped countertop.

“Eat these. You haven’t eaten.”

He seems to know a lot, right now. It makes you anxious.

And yet?

He tells you not a word of it.

It infuriates you.

This morning is odd enough, so you won’t stand for secrets. You force your head up and you’re unsurprised to find his gaze already locked upon your own.

“What happened?”

Your voice is firm, it sounds like more of a command than question and you’re certain he notes it. He studies you for a moment, and you don’t know why; but his eyes fan over your upturned lashes and the soft bridge of your nose. Down to your lips then back up to your eyes, again.

He takes his sweet, frustrating time to think his answer through. Just maybe though, your night was as rough as your morning has greeted you. Because he takes pity on you— he answers.

“You went out dancing. Made a big show at my club, drank all my good alcohol from every man willing to hand it to you, then you vanished without your things. Out my back door. Cindy came to me, and we went after you. There was a man out back. He was planning to— how did you put it? Fuck you, cariño… not me.”

You flush the color of persephone’s sweetest pomegranates— eyes wide as the images flash like some mortifying movie in your mind.

Oh my god.

“Oh my god…” you whisper in repetition of your horrified thoughts, pressing the coolness of your palms against the heat of your cheeks.

He hums again, but this time in agreement. It far from helps. You press two fingers against each temple, shaking your head as you search for suitable words.

“I don’t do this often or- at all, really. I just— I needed…”

“I know.” He cuts you off in the middle of your search for an end to your sentence, and it’s the first thing he’s done that you’re grateful for. Apart from the fridge full of food.

You remember now that you blew all your grocery money, so.

You feel ridiculous, mortified. He must think of you as some obsessed idiot who showed up at his club because you couldn’t be at his workplace.

God.

You can’t stand the thought.

Only you would chose there of all the clubs in New York.

You don’t even offer him any further explanation, you know well that it will be a mess you dig further and further. Deeper and deeper until you babble and stutter, you stay silent to avoid it.

You torture yourself in another way, reliving the night prior in quick flashes… piecing them together like a parted jigsaw. They weave in place swiftly, but there’s something missing…

You rack your brain, yet nothing comes of it in its crowded closet. You’re blank, baffled. You’re in a robe, a new robe and you’re topless underneath. Sitting across from Miguel O’Hara in your own pathetic kitchen.

Christ.

“You are a dancer.” He observes, making your head spin.

The conversation takes a left turn. Sharp, quick. Perhaps he’s not so used to seeing you this silent, perhaps he knows just the subject to get you talking again. It’s the most normal you both have ever talked, in fact.

“Was.” You correct in a shameful whisper, and you’re grateful when he doesn’t ask about it further. Your eyes drift to the framed photo he stares at behind you. It’s you, pretty as you are with one leg bent up to the heavens and the other firmly planted on tip toe into the ground. Your pale pink mesh cascaded from your hips and your golden locks were tamed into a perfected bun.

You adore that picture.

Yet as admirable as the memory is, it’s also sad. You don’t spare it another moment, your eyes fall to the surface below where it hangs. The Daily Bugle. It’s new, dewdrops of rain kissing the ink, bleeding some of it away. He must have gathered it for you.

Christ. He stayed here.

You wince at the thought, too plagued with headache to analyze his intentions— rushing forward to gather the fresh paper in your hands so you don’t have to worry about it any longer.

You’ll read the newspaper in silence or at least pretend to to avoid telling the three-headed Cerberus to leave and never return. He watches on at you, quiet and emotionless as you skim past the front page that speaks of sports nonsense. Further down, spending more time on the fashion column before reaching the golden page, the hot spot of Daily Bugle. Drama.

In all your years of consuming the horrid paper, you never leave this page unread. You feel slimey as you absorb, and yet it’s addictive. Miguel is still here, you remember. He must think even worse of you if it’s possible.

Just the girl who keeps reminding him of his dead daughter at every chance she gets. You wince, letting out a shaky breath as you smooth out the paper of the next page and finally see it.

In black and white proud, long curls cascading down a sequined number with heels higher than you’ve ever worn. Small, back flush against him. Your face is tilted to the side, captured blurred as it was in motion. Yet to you, it’s clear and recognizable. It’s a memory.

The puzzle piece, served up to you by the universe on a stupid, golden platter.

You’re on the front pages.

So is he.

You’re on the front pages, together.

CEO MIGUEL O’HARA ENJOYS A NIGHT OUT ON THE DANCE FLOOR WITH MYSTERIOUS PROCLAIMED “DANCING QUEEN”

You look— horrified, and he looks to be brushing his curled fingers against his tanned lips to stifle his amused grin. He can’t risk any other emotion than stoic, of course. Your eyes are wide as they snap up to him.

“You’re good publicity.” He offers.

His voice. It isn’t cold. It isn’t lifeless.

It’s as if something has laced itself within it. Something you don’t like.

Humor.

At the expense of you.

You’re angry. You’re confused and it makes you angry.

The puzzle is a painted picture now. The dance, the music, the heat, the grinding— god you’d just about melt if you weren’t so baffled and preoccupied right now.

You practically crush the paper in your hands. You look like a slutty girl taking her chance with the richest man readily available. How on earth will you ever work anywhere else again?

You’ll have to chop off your locks, you’ll have to—

He clears his throat as a weak attempt to conceal the amusement itching at his tongue.

You narrow your eyes at him.

“This is funny to you?”

This man. This mind fuck of a man has gone from towering over you with fury foaming at his mouth to forcing your hips to brush back against him to finding humor in your suffering in your own kitchen.

He narrows his eyes back,

“Very, cariño. Very funny to me.” His voice is dark, cold again.

You part your pink lips to curse him, but he interrupts the process before it even begins. He straightens his back, returning to the tower he is before rounding the counter till he’s right in front of you. You shrink again, your attitude melting as you remember the events of the week prior. His screaming, the ornament.

You shift, breath thinning as you turn your head away from him. He moves his head so his eyes may follow yours, when it doesn’t work— his jaw ticks.

“Mírame.”

You do, eyes snapping back to meet his gaze.

It’s soft, yet still commands your attention. You don’t have any other choice but to look on at him, you’ve noticed he has an odd thing for eye contact. You’d squirm, but your head is spinning.

No possibility to delay and procrastinate calling home now, it seems.

He sees your mind fogged with preoccupations, and you can’t keep like this any longer.

“What is going on, what are you doing?” You whisper, eyes darting to the paper then back to him. The question. It means far more than just now.

What is he doing?

Does he feel guilty? Is this how he’s apologizing?

You’re not sure, it’s impossible to know— to understand. Enigma doesn’t seem to be enough to describe him, nor does mystery.

He’s infuriating as he is simple, and maddening as he is tolerable. He’s back and he’s forth, up and he’s down and he’s killing you.

Why did he yell?

Why did he dance with you after it?

Why is he here now?

He sighs, his hands caging you up against the counter as he rests his palms on either side, grasping at the chipped marble and dipping his head to search for an answer.

It takes him a long moment, but when he’s satisfied? He lifts his head.

“I’m a good boss. A great one. I pay my girls generously, I would have done the same for you if you were capable of just following orders.”

You frown at that, he ignores it— continuing.

“You’re a shit employee.” He says it with conviction. As if his word is etched into stone at the birth of all life and creation. Your jaw nearly drops, but you allow tension to blossom like spring poppies within it instead.

“You’re an asshole.” You snap, gasping after the word leaves you. Your cheeks flush the color rose, and his expression remains cold and devoid as he tilts his head at you.

But his brows arch. Questioning.

You await for what seems like ages for him to respond, to snap, to scream— honestly you’re half expecting him to snatch the knife from the countertop and jab it into your gut to shut you up for good.

He does none of those things.

Warmth trails like caramel down a chasing tongue, rough and calloused palm sliding up the length of silken coverage from your knee and upward. Higher, higher. Your breath hitches in your throat, and his eyes burn furious holes into your face— your wide-eyed, pretty face.

The soft, small netting of nerves between your thighs jumps in excitement, and you’re certain your cheeks burn hotter than the sun. He reaches your hip, he halts— straightening his head. Almost unnoticed.

“I’m an asshole?”

A shiver overtakes you now, and you feel betrayal constrict you like that of a serpent as your pink nipples pucker themselves up for attention.

Don’t look, don’t look. You beg within the confines of your own mind.

The asshole…

His eyes flicker down immediately, as if he sensed your body calling to him.

It’s the first flash of emotion you’ve ever seen beyond anger. You can’t name it, you can’t understand it—you can’t even process it. You’re frozen here.

A noise, guttural— like that of a forest creature restraining itself from its natural instincts to slaughter a helpless lamb. It becomes him. From the very back of his throat.

You blink, tense, back straight and pushed firmly against the wall. His eyes find yours again and you’re certain then that you’ve bursted up in flames.

“You were saying?” He whispers, eyes wandering down. Past your puckered nipples and the bumps upon your skin. Down. Lower. To— there.

The action, it’s enough to shake you out of this trance. You push him back, he doesn’t protest the move and plays into it— you’re sure. You stumble from that suffocating wall and take a breath of air that feels awfully fresh even in your stuffy apartment.

His hand, where it once grazed you is a memorized motion replaying like a record shattered upon your leg.

He’s toying with you.

Getting his payment for his generosity, that must be it.

Or maybe he’s not. Maybe it was the dance…

Maybe— you don’t know which it is.

Now you’re angry.

Frustrated.

He’s put you through hell in the short amount of time he’s known you. Then suddenly, he does one good deed and takes it as a free ticket to fuck you?

You’re livid.

You turn on your heel, slamming your finger into the firmness of his chest.

“Tell me what you’re doing.”

His hand, warm as fresh laundry wraps around your wrist. He tilts his head low like a charred olive branch extending, leveling with you.

“Testing my theory.”

It’s all he offers. You narrow your eyes to cold slits, electricity still buzzing between your thighs in opposition to your anger.

“What theory?” You sound exasperated, and you are.

The tick in his jaw is back. It jumps. He’s frustrated again.

How is it possible?

A man so stoic and cold, and yet so capable of flipping through emotions like an old scrapbook buried away from years past.

He breathes slowly through his nose, and when you nudge his chest again with your finger as hopes to provoke an answer? He moves. Quick.

In a flash moment, he walks you back against the countertop— caging you again.

He must like that.

Making you feel small.

He wastes no time once you are caged there, happy to be in control again.

“It seems like the only way I can stand you is when I respond with lust, and not logic… Dios mío…” he breathes the last part. It allows a chill to creep up the base of your spine, paralyzing you.

Silence blankets you both again and he bows his head once more. You breathe, shakily but nonetheless.

Lust?

For you?

Hair unruly and unkept, frizzed and wild. Too loud for your liking and too sharp of a tongue for his.

Maybe he’s truly lost it.

Maybe it’s been there all along.

Although the thought excites you, you know it’s silly. Men of his status and power— they don’t busy themselves with pretty things like you. It’s impossible. It’s a movie, a picture made for fantasy.

But here he his.

Toying with you.

You’re certain now.

It clicks then, his game with you. Revenge sweetly. Play pretend, get you to fall but not catch you when you do. It’s cruel. It’s like him.

You’ve been at the harsh hand of a man vengeful before. You won’t do it again.

Tears sting at your eyes.

“Don’t do this to me again.” You mean it to sound like a demand, yet it floats from your petal pink lips like a weak and pathetic sound. You speak to him, and you speak to the man before him. In your eyes, now, they’re the same. All your interactions before this were so inhuman and cold, and yet here you are— feeling all the colors of the damned sky before him. Interacting like humans do. Only, he’s got a motive behind his emotion. Not you. Never you.

He hears the weakness, the falter. His head snaps up again.

You avert your eyes, playing a balance game with the swelled tears threatening to parachute onto your cheeks. He straightens his back at the sight of them, he gives you space. You relax.

His eyes, they find a map upon your face and they wander amongst it. Observing, analyzing. When he’s satisfied, after you’ve swiped away at your tears, he speaks again.

“I have a job for you.”

You’re certain he’s lost it now.

Completely thrown himself off the deep end and into the insane asylum. How can he lust you and loathe you and employ you all at the same time? All within the same hour?

You need to rest, you’re exhausted.

“No.” It’s all you offer, turning your back on him. Hoping he will take it and leave you be. Silly you. A firm palm spins you back around, right back to where you were.

“Listen to me.”

It’s not a question, it’s a command; and as much as you hate him and his arrogance… you comply.

“Fuck… there’s more to you. Something that I can find behind my frustrations with you. A hunger… Last night was an annoyance, an amusing one no less. I just can’t get rid of you no matter how hard I try… but I think sometimes that this game we’re all playing is at someone’s hand. I need morale, you’ve made the front covers now. Jameson can eat shit for all I care but for the sake of my girls— I need to fix the mess I’m in…”

He muses the last part to himself, and baffled as you are at the events that have taken place in one morning alone… you straighten your back and cross your arms over your chest. Curious. Listening.

“I’ve been here all morning because I have been thinking close to the source. Thinking about what it is about you that is so fucking infuriating. I didn’t find an answer. But what I did find was a solution. After— fuck… after Gabi…”

Oh…

Oh.

He’s talking about her, and not because of your snappy mouth.

Like a fresh petal, you unfurl.

“Jameson. He wants to slander me. He wants my girls to read his bullshit and believe it and as much as I hate to admit it, the cabrón could manage it. And fucking morale… it can’t function when my morale girl is only working hard at pissing me off.”

It’s an insult, but you’re far too glued on the edge of your seat to interrupt his train of thought. You scowl softly and let him continue,

“I don’t want you in my office, I don’t want you talking about things you don’t get to talk about. I don’t want you to anger me with your stupidity because I don’t want to yell at you like that again. I won’t. But I am glad your idiocy brought us here last night, because I can see how much of a shithole you’re in.”

You flush again at that, nervous eyes glancing around your dainty apartment and its rotted walls.

“I’m in one too, in a different way. The tabloid is a good thing. When you were dancing, I tolerated you. I enjoyed you, even. And your presence made for a good paper with a headline not involving my baby girl. I— need that. I need these people to stay distracted and fuck, sweetheart. Soy la respuesta...”

Cruel as he is, you find your heart constrict— just for a small moment. You can’t imagine it. Losing your life, your whole sun, moon and stars and being constantly reminded of it on every newsstand and broadcast because of some awfully obsessed vampire.

So much so that it leaks into your glass tower in the sky and makes it crack, each new story another stone thrown until it cracks under the pressure.

But you… you stopped it.

Just once, at least.

Even so….

It amazes you.

Makes you feel powerful.

He is watching you close, gauging your reactions. You challenge his eyes, imploring him to continue. He does.

“I want you to play pretend with me, just like you did last night. Dos desconocidos bailando por primera vez, like two strangers dancing on the floor. I wanna feed them the shit they want to be fed and keep their mouths shut and satisfied. Only for a few months until I find a way to buy out the Bugle and bankrupt the hijo de puta… We can help each other. You’ll live in my suite and do whatever the hell you want all day. You’ll get a monthly allowance on top of your big check. You’ll help me keep them quiet.”

He speaks slow. Calculated and measured. In a way one would immediately understand. But somehow, you don’t.

You don’t get it.

Beyond the words for what they are, you’re baffled.

He wants you to play pretend, and it all seems perfect and fine except?

“You hate me…” it’s meant for yourself, truly. Yet it parts from your lips nonetheless. Your brows are furrowed and soft as you search the space beside him for an invisible answer with your eyes.

He sighs.

“No. I don’t. I don’t like you, but I don’t hate you. How could I when you move the way you do? So pretty under my lights, I like her a lot. Maybe we have to get you drunk more often, hmm?”

He means it to lighten the tension, to slice it with silver blade and yet all it does s quiet you further. He sees this, and a warmth floating within his very fingertips meets your chin. He turns you to him again.

“Dime que sí, cariño. Tell me yes. Stop letting yourself think about it.”

You have a million loose and frayed ends that you cannot seem to knit together on your own. You’re certain he won’t offer you any assistance either.

There’s a plague in the air, a sickness. One that causes nothing short of pure insanity. Why? Well because of what you see now.

Money.

No more debt.

Food plentiful.

A door that actually locks. A heater that will keep you warm on harsh winter nights.

No going home.

Another chance… another opportunity to dance again.

Only for a little while will you have to bare him. Only for a little while and then all your troubles get tossed upon the burning pile. You could start again. You could fix what you ruined. You could be her, again.

Your eyes wander to the gold trimmed frame with a girl that seems so unrecognizable and unreachable now.

But what if he— this cruel and baffling creature with all the money, power and influence in all of New York City and maybe beyond could help you reach her.

All you have to do is play pretend..

That’s it, right?

You gulp.

And Christ…

You whisper it like it’s a gruesome sin on the tip of your tongue. Like it poisonous and repulsive. Sealing the deal with the devil himself before it is too late to think it over again…

“Yes…”

Mika/Nico 2004 Arctic Rally flirtation on the occasion of @blorbocedes ‘s birthday!

Mika is stripping down to his thermals when the kid slinks inside his cabin, bundled in a thick winter coat, tufts of blonde hair poking out underneath a knit hat. He bites the inside of his cheek, manufacturing a reason to grimace instead of welcoming Nico into his arms like he used to do when he could still call himself innocent. 

“Not your cabin,” says Mika, tugging off a sweaty glove and tossing it on the countertop.

Nico shuts the door behind him and braces himself against it, nose red from the chill outside. His entire face, or at least the part visible between the collar of his coat and the hem of his hat, is chafed red and blotchy. He licks his lips, and Mika’s gaze lingers on the chapped and wind-bitten skin of his mouth. 

“My dad snores,” Nico mumbles. “Just wanted to get some rest—”

“No,” says Mika, immediately. He knows what Nico’s going to ask of him, and he knows that if Nico asks it outright, he’s going to say yes. 

“You didn’t even hear what I was going to say!” says Nico, pouting rather childishly. Mika wonders what it says about him that he finds Nico’s worst moments attractive.

“No,” says Mika again. “Go back to your room. Cabins are for competitors only.”

Nico tilts his head, still tucked against the door in his coat. Mika watches him shuck his scarf and toss it haphazardly on Mika’s sofa. “I could compete,” says Nico. “I’m good on the ice.” 

“You’re not—” says Mika.

Nico cuts him off, a sparkle in his eye. “Old enough?”

“Used to rally,” Mika finishes. “It’s an entirely different sport.” 

“Really?” says Nico, eyes widening. It’s obvious what he’s doing. Mika strips off his other glove and lets it happen anyway, peeling his racesuit down his chest to hang around his hips. Nico makes a parallel move, drawing the zipper open and shimmying the coat down his arms to reveal a tanned neck and collarbones, the result of a half-Finn unaccustomed to his native climate. Mika doesn’t know why Keke bothered to drag him to Lapland to spectate. “Explain it to me,” says Nico. He drops his jacket on the floor and joins his scarf on Mika’s sofa, curling his legs underneath him.

“First of all, you have a co-driver in the car with you,” says Mika. He tugs the racesuit the rest of the way down, pulling it off his ankles one leg at a time. He was going to make use of the cabin’s meager hot water tank and shower off the sweat sticking to his skin, but with Nico around it’s probably best he keeps his clothing on. 

Nico shrugs, wrapping his arms around himself as if to stave off the cold. “I could handle that. I already have an engineer in F3.”

“It’s a different relationship,” Mika corrects. He can’t help but fall into this avuncular role with Nico, like Keke is still in the room.

“A relationship,” Nico purrs, learning over the edge of the couch. Mika bites the inside of his cheek, wondering where Nico learned this from. He stalls for time by folding his racesuit into a neat little rectangle and setting it on the countertop beside his gloves. It reeks of stale sweat and the ankles are damp with melted snow, but if Nico minds he doesn’t say anything. 

Mika sinks into the armchair opposite Nico and watches Nico furtively scoot towards the end of the sofa closest to Mika. His bare arms are startlingly skinny against the thin fabric of a white singlet. The faded jeans make him look like a ten-euro hooker, even though Mika knows Nico doesn’t wear anything that costs less than a hundred. 

“I bet you disregard your engineer all the time,” says Mika.

“No I don’t,” says Nico. 

Mika gives him a meaningful look. 

“Fine,” says Nico. “Sometimes. But only when he’s wrong.”

“Ah,” says Mika. “The difference is that your co-driver cannot be wrong. You trust him implicitly. If he says full-throttle, you don’t break until the finish line.” 

Nico wrinkles his nose. “I can’t picture you taking orders from anybody.” 

Mika raises a hand to massage his temples. “When I need to,” he says. The hand in front of his eyes conveniently blocks his view of Nico curled up on the corner of the couch, but he can still hear Nico twisting and fidgeting around. 

“Tired?” says Nico. 

“Yes,” says Mika. 

“Me too,” says Nico. He shuffles around on the couch again, and then seems to still. A moment later, Mika feels him plop down on the arm of the chair next to him. He drapes his long legs over Mika’s lap and leans close to his ear. Mika removes his hand from his face just in time for a lock of Nico’s hair to fall in his face while Nico murmurs in his ear. “And I’m cold. It’s fucking freezing in here.” 

Mika bites the inside of his cheek again. The flesh is getting raw, like it always does around Nico. 

“Nico,” he warns. 

“What?” says Nico. He’s completely irreverent. 

Mika shifts to create more space between himself and Nico’s skinny frame. “I’m not doing this with you.”

“Doing what?” says Nico.

“You know what,” says Mika. 

“I just want to warm up,” says Nico, curling closer. 

“I have to race tomorrow,” says Mika. He can hear his own voice wavering.

The corners of Nico’s mouth curl like a cat toying with its prey. “Nothing that will make you sore.” 

Mika exhales, rubbing his temples again. “Not even pretending anymore?” 

Hearing his permission, Nico slides into Mika’s lap and surrounds him like his limbs are made of putty. He wraps his arms around Mika’s neck and attaches his mouth to the skin above the collar of Mika’s thermal shirt. “I don’t need to,” he whispers. “Besides, don’t you want to see what I’m wearing under this?”

Promise of Pleasure

MINORS DO NOT INTERACT

English is not my first language so sorry for any mistakes

If he had long hair this photo would be perfect 😅😅

Synopsis: In a night of uncontrollable passion, Lila and Lucas give themselves completely to each other, exploring the limits of their desire and connection.

You will never get tired of kissing Yukhei. The idea of ​​getting tired is inconceivable when it tastes so deliciously sweet.

It always ends like this after more than an hour alone with the doe-eyed boy, even when he practices in approximately ten minutes. You're straddling his wide lap, thighs on either side of his narrow hips, your mouths pressed against each other in a heated kiss.

Is too good. You can do this alone, and he is fully aware. His huge hands cup his face, fingertips hooking into the back of his neck as he alternates between sucking on his top lip and his bottom lip.

He is always very intoxicating, everything you feel, see and hear is inherently Yukhei. You feel like his heart could explode through his shirt if his chest wasn't pressed against his.

It’s so domestic, huddled together on the couch, the sounds of soft tapping filling the space between the two of you. The two of you are still practically in your pajamas from the night before - the rumpled black t-shirt and black hoodie still managing to make you look unfairly good, if not more so.

He hums softly into your mouth, and only then do you realize that you've gently grasped a tuft of his long, messy black hair between your fingers as his soft tongue brushes against his.

His hands move down to soften his neck, then down to the sturdy pair of shoulders you've held so many times before in moments like this, where it's sensual and sweet, and you need to grab him just to do it. Make sure it doesn't slip between your fingertips like a sweet dream.

He groans as he has to force himself to leave, and you can feel the evidence of his arousal beneath you, snug and firm against his center. His countenance turns into a genuine pout, his irises glazed over.

"Damn, I should just call in sick or something."

You laugh, amused by his childish smile and the moan in his tone. You both know that missing practice is not an option for him, although there is no harm in expressing your frustration. Even if it makes you ten times more needy for him.

You reach up to cup his soft cheeks, thumbs stroking the warm, tanned skin. He leans into the palm of your hand, soft lips spreading into a warm smile as he looks up at you with passionate eyes.

“I’ll come when you’re done, if you want,” he tells you, stroking your hair.

He takes a deep breath through his nose to calm himself, a useless feat when you're still on top of him, warm and beautiful and all his. His hands rest on the small of your back, his fingertips tracing the skin where your shirt has ridden up.

"Of course I want you to come, my silly baby." He coos to you in a voice that's only used when the two of you are alone, meant to make you laugh in a way that makes your heart fill up with adoration like a balloon.

You lean in to kiss his soft lips once again, his chin already tilted forward in an attempt to beat you to it. It's smooth, faster than any of you would like. But it's enough.

"I'm going to kiss you so hard tonight."

The promise remains between you, igniting a new wave of desire that makes you press against him a little more firmly, eliciting a deep, throaty moan from Lucas. His hands grip your hips, pulling you even closer, the harsh evidence of his arousal pressing into you unmistakably.

“You better,” you murmur against his lips, the heat in his voice matching the fire in his eyes. "I will be waiting."

He smiles, his eyes darkening with unspoken promises as he brushes his lips against yours one last time, a teasing hint of what’s to come tonight. "You won't have to wait long, darling. I'll make sure of that."

With a final, lingering kiss, you reluctantly climb out of his lap, both of you panting softly, the air between you crackling with unfulfilled desire. You watch as he adjusts, his eyes never leaving yours, a silent vow hanging in the air as he prepares to leave for practice. The anticipation of what's to come tonight keeps the embers of his desire burning, ready to burst into flames the moment he walks back through that door.

Anticipation grew all day. As the hours passed, her thoughts returned to Lucas, his promise echoing in her mind. It was finally time for him to return and his excitement was palpable.

The door opened and Lucas walked in, his long black hair, slightly damp and disheveled from training, falling onto his shoulders. He wore an all-black sweatshirt set, the fabric hugging his tall frame. His eyes immediately met his, dark and intense, filled with the same desire that had boiled between you before.

"Hey, beautiful," he greeted, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers down your spine.

“Hey,” you replied, a smile playing on your lips as you walked up to him, your curvy figure swaying with each step. Her blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders, and the way his gaze darkened as he took in her sent a shiver through you.

Lucas left his bag near the door and closed the distance between you in a few steps. His hands found your hips, pulling you against him. You could feel the heat of his body through his clothes, the hard surface of his chest pressing into your softness.

“I missed you,” he murmured, leaning down to capture your lips in a deep, hungry kiss. His mouth moved against his with an urgency that left you breathless, his hands roaming your curves, tracing the lines of your body with a possessive touch.

You moaned into the kiss, your arms wrapping around his neck, fingers tangling in his long hair. The feel of his lips, the taste of him, was intoxicating. You could feel his excitement growing, pressing insistently against his thigh, and it only made you want him more.

“Lucas,” you gasped when he broke the kiss, trailing his lips down your neck, sucking and nibbling at your sensitive skin. "Please."

“Patience, baby,” he whispered, his breath hot on her ear. "I promised to kiss you so hard tonight, remember?"

He pulled back a little, your eyes burning when they met his. Then, with one swift movement, he picked you up in his arms and carried you to the bedroom, laying you gently on the bed. He stood next to you for a moment, his gaze roaming your body, examining every inch of you.

Slowly, he took off his hoodie, revealing the muscles on his chest and abdomen. You reached out, running your hands over his skin, feeling the warmth and strength beneath your fingertips. He shivered at his touch, closing his eyes briefly before opening them again, filled with raw need.

Lucas climbed onto the bed, settling himself between her legs, his hands pushing her shirt up, exposing her skin. He kissed her body, taking his time, savoring every moment. You arched beneath him, your hands gripping the sheets as his mouth moved downwards, teasing you with light kisses and flicks of his tongue.

When he reached the waistband of your pants, he looked at you, his eyes dark and hungry. “I’m going to make you feel so good, baby,” he promised, his voice a husky whisper that made your heart race.

With that, he pulled his pants down, tossing them aside. His hands caressed her thighs, spreading them apart, his gaze fixed on her center. You were already wet, aching from his touch, and when his fingers brushed against you, you couldn't help the moan that escaped your lips.

He leaned in, his mouth finding your most sensitive spot, his tongue working its magic. You screamed, your hands flying to his head, fingers tangling in his hair as he licked and sucked, driving you crazy with pleasure. His name left your lips in a breathless chant, your body shaking as he brought you closer and closer to the edge.

“Lucas, oh God, yes,” you gasped, your hips rocking against his mouth, chasing the orgasm that was building inside you. He growled against you, the vibration sending shockwaves of pleasure through you, sending you over the edge.

His orgasm hit you like a tidal wave, your body arching off the bed as you screamed his name, your fingers gripping his hair tightly. He didn’t stop, his mouth working you through the aftershocks, prolonging your pleasure until you were a trembling, panting mess beneath him.

Finally, he pulled away, his lips glistening with his arousal, a satisfied smile on his face. He moved back up your body, capturing your lips in a searing kiss, letting you taste yourself on his tongue.

“You taste amazing,” he murmured against her lips, his voice full of desire.

Before you could respond, he was moving, taking off the rest of his clothes. His eyes widened as he revealed his erection, thick and hard, throbbing with need. He positioned himself between your legs, hands holding your hips as he teased your entrance with the head of his cock.

"Are you ready, darling?" he asked, his voice a low growl that sent shivers down your spine.

“Yes, Lucas, please,” you begged, your voice shaking with anticipation.

With a slow, deliberate thrust, he buried himself inside you, stretching you, filling you completely. You both moaned at the sensation, the delicious friction, the way your bodies fit together perfectly.

correctly. He paused for a moment, letting you adjust, his eyes fixed on yours, full of and a mixture of love and lust.

"You're so tight, baby," he moaned, his hips beginning to move, establishing a slow, steady rhythm. "So perfect."

You wrapped your legs around his waist, pulling him deeper, your nails digging into his back as he thrust into you, each movement sending waves of pleasure over you. He leaned in, capturing your lips in a fierce, desperate kiss, his tongue exploring your mouth with the same intensity as his thrusts.

“Fuck, you feel so good,” he growled against your lips, his pace quickening, his hips slamming into you with increasing urgency. "So wet and tight, just for me."

“Yes, Lucas, just for you,” you moaned, your body arching beneath him, matching his movements, meeting each thrust with eager abandon. The room was filled with the sounds of their passion, the slick, wet sounds of their bodies moving together, the moans and breathless sighs, the slap of skin against skin.

The pleasure grew and grew, rising higher and higher until you were on the verge of another orgasm. Lucas could feel it too, his movements becoming more frantic, his grip on your hips tightening as he thrust into you harder and deeper.

“Come for me, baby,” he insisted, his voice a harsh whisper. "Let go."

With a scream, you cried, your body convulsing around him as your orgasm crashed over you, the pleasure so intense it left you breathless. Lucas followed you to the edge, his own release exploding inside you, filling you with his hot, pulsing seed.

He collapsed onto you, both of you panting, shaking after the shared ecstasy. He placed soft, tender kisses on her lips, her cheeks, her forehead, murmuring words of love and adoration.

"I love you, Lila," he whispered, his voice full of emotion.

“I love you too, Lucas,” you replied, your heart swelling with the intensity of your feelings for him.

You stood there together, tangled in each other's arms, basking in the glow of your passion. The promise of more things to come lingered in the air, a sweet reminder of the love and desire that brought them together.

As Lucas's breathless whisper faded into the night, the intensity between them reignited. Lila, still shaking from the aftershocks of orgasm, felt Lucas's hand sliding down her body, rough but gentle.

“Ready for more?” Lucas growled, his voice full of need.

“Yes,” Lila panted, her voice a mix of expectation and desire.

Lucas sat up, effortlessly lifting her, and turned her so she was on all fours. He admired her curvy, dark-skinned body, her blonde hair falling down her back, framing her invitingly. He couldn't resist the urge to lean down and place a series of kisses along her spine, sending shivers down her spine.

His hands gripped her hips firmly, positioning her just right. She felt the head of his cock teasing her entrance again, the anticipation making her clench with need.

“please,” she whimpered, her voice shaking with raw desire.

Without further hesitation, Lucas dove into her, burying himself to the hilt. The sudden and intense sensation made them both moan, their voices echoing in the dimly lit room. He began to move, with deep, powerful thrusts, setting a relentless pace that left her breathless.

her hands gripping your hips tighter, pulling you back to meet her every thrust.

Lila's moans filled the room, each thrust sending waves of pleasure through her body. She could feel him hitting all the right spots, the intensity building inside her again. Her fingers dug into the sheets, trying to brace herself against the onslaught of pleasure.

“Harder,” she begged, her voice barely above a whisper.

He obeyed, his hips slamming into her with a force that left her breathless. The sound of their bodies meeting, skin against skin, filled the room, mixing with their moans and sighs. Lucas reached out, his fingers finding her clit, rubbing it in time with his thrusts, pushing her closer and closer to the edge.

“Oh God, Lucas, I'm so close,” she cried out, her body shaking with the intensity of her approaching orgasm.

“Come for me, Lila,” he growled, his voice husky with need. "I want to feel you coming around me."

With a scream of her name, she broke, her orgasm ripping through her with a force that left her shaking and gasping for air. Lucas didn't stop, thrusting into her through her climax, prolonging her pleasure until she thought she might explode from the intensity.

Feeling her tight walls squeezing him, Lucas could no longer hold back. he buried himself deep inside her, his release exploding inside her, filling her with his seed. He lay there, his body shaking with the aftershocks, before finally collapsing next to her, both of them panting and exhausted.

But the night was far from over. With a mischievous smile, Lucas turned Lila onto her back, positioning himself between her thighs again. “I’m not done with you yet,” he whispered, his eyes dark with hunger.

Lila's eyes widened with anticipation, a shiver of excitement running through her. “Come on,” she challenged, her voice breathless but eager.

With that, Lucas began again, his movements rough and wild, driving them both to the brink of madness. The night was a blur of intense pleasure, their bodies intertwined in a primal dance of need and desire, each climax pushing them further into a state of wild ecstasy.

When dawn began to peek through the curtains, they were both completely exhausted, their bodies slick with sweat, their breathing ragged. Lucas hugged Lila, their hearts beating in sync, the intensity of their passion still hanging in the air.

“I told you I'd kiss you hard tonight,” Lucas whispered, his voice a low, satisfied rumble.

Lila laughed weakly, her body sated and exhausted. “You sure do,” she agreed, her eyes closed as she snuggled closer to him, a satisfied smile on her lips.

And as they fell asleep, tangled in each other's arms.

draken x f!reader || mdni

cw. real nice dick sucking. degrading names are used. cunts are slapped as well.

"day off today?"

ken almost purposely ignores your question, knowing that if he answered truthfully, you'd give him something to do. and as much as he loves you, he wanted to spend the first one day off he's had in almost two months doing what he was supposed to be doing, nothing.

but he can't find it in himself to lie to you, or ignore you for that matter, so he looks away from the tv, over his shoulder to see you wiping down the counter beside the sink in the kitchen. "yeah." a pause. "why?"

he turns back to the show playing on hand, some basketball game that doesn't show either of his preferred teams but he'll put up with it to quench his boredom.

"just asking." you reply offhandedly and he wonders if you really mean it. sometimes you're genuinely curious, other times - while very rarely - it's a passive aggressive comment. but ken knows this time he hasn't done anything to tick you off so it could just be the former.

you don't expand, just hum softly while you clean up the kitchen until you make your way over to the couch where ken's sinking into. he shifts his arm over the back of the couch, ready for you to take the space beside him but you don't.

instead, you plant yourself in between his spread legs, looking so minuscule between his thick thighs that he closes them slightly just to cage you in. he raises an eyebrow as you stare up at him, your hands planted on your thighs out of nervousness.

"what are y-"

"i've missed you." you quickly explain and ken moves to sit up straighter but you stop him by planting your hands on his thighs. he looks down and notices that your fingers are spread out and he can barely feel them given how soft your touch is.

he doesn't know what to say, but he knows why you do. it's been a good month and a half since you've spent proper time together. passing kisses and the nights you sleep in each other's arms being the only moments of intimacy you two have had with each other. he doesn't want to try giving an excuse so he moves his hand, the one resting on the backrest and cups your chin, finger and thumb squishing your cheeks and making your lips pucker up. you look up at him expectantly but he still doesn't know what to say.

"how much?"

he doesn't mean to sound cocky, to fuel his ego about how he's neglected his lover so much that you have to resort to going down on your knees to show him but he knows that's what you want to do anyways, or else you wouldn't be doing it in the first place.

you pull your face out from his grip and look down at the familiar bulge in his shorts, loose fitting but still not able to hide his cock in them. "are you hard?"

"see for yourself." his arm returns to the back rest as you lean forward and pull the elastic of his shorts down. just enough for you to reach in and grab his softened cock from its confines. you let out a cool breath through your mouth and ken notices the way you almost twitch in excitement.

it's nothing you haven't seen before, curved as it was to fit inside his shorts but tan and considerably thick. behind it was a tuft a course hair, not too long but trimmed enough to not bother you while you have his cock down your throat. you had been adamant that he didn't have to shave it for your comfort.

with your knees shuffled tighter together, your eyes flick up to ken as you lean forward, elbows on the cushion between his thighs with just enough space for your hand to grab his limp cock. you gulp but it's redundant when you salivate even more at the sight of him. without waiting another second, you take his entire cock into your mouth.

it straightens in your mouth but it's still long enough to tease the entrance of your throat. your hands move to grasp at his muscular thighs, an attempt to ground yourself as your eyes flutter shut to focus on swallowing around him.

in an instantaneous reaction, he begins growing hard inside your mouth as the blood flows to his cock. he rests a large, heavy hand to the top of your head and you open your eyes to look up at him. your nose tickles against his pubes as you swallow him completely down in one go, his balls squish against your chin and his husky smell completely overtakes your senses that you can't not mewl with his cock, now semi-hard, growing down your throat.

"fuuuck." he breathes out, long and drawled, he can't look away and he doesn't want to. not when your tongue peaks out, a small mishap that pushes him further down your throat and causes you to gag before you catch yourself. the tip of your tongue flicks against his balls before the action becomes too tiresome so you slip it back into your mouth.

you breathe heavily through your nose but hardly receive the sufficient amount of air to fill your lungs again but ken doesn't lift you off. wanting to see what you do, how long you'll hold it for before you give in. you groan as you push your limit once more, lunging yourself forward to push his cock deeper down your throat, making that the final push before you draw back and free his cock from your mouth.

you're barely given the chance to breath and cough out the mix of precum and spit lodged in your throat before ken yanks you up by your hair, stands up and shoves you onto the couch. you yelp but immediately recover when he manoeuvres your head to hang off the arm rest, only pausing for a second to grab one of the decorated cushions and placing it under your neck to soothe the inevitable ache.

"you missed me so much that you think the only solution is to be a slut and slobber all over my dick, huh?" he groans as he stands by your head, fully erect cock hanging over your face. it's longer than the length of your head but who that excites more isn't important.

"pl-please ken." you whisper and he grits his teeth as he grabs the base of his cock and slaps your cheek with the head of it, a wet streak is left before his other hand pinches your chin, forcing your mouth open and giving him the entry way to sink straight down your throat. his cock is so long and thick now that if you hadn't been with him for as long as the three years of your relationship was, bottoming out inside your throat would be impossible.

it still surprises him how you don't push him out straight out despite the tightness of your throat, but he can't find it in himself to complain either way.

"please fucking what?" he grunts, giving you no chance to speak as he cups your neck with both hands, big enough to completely wrap around your column but he doesn't put the effort to tighten them. only to marvel at the way he can feel his cock moving up and down your throat while your gags and chokes fill the room.

he's relentless on you, if the torture of his cock practically impaling your throat wasn't enough, his heavy balls slapping against your nose would probably warrant a broken nose if he wasn't careful enough.

you begin struggling when he stills in your mouth after a particularly rough thrust. he holds it down for ten long agonising seconds before he pulls out and looks down just in time to catch the long string of thick spit connecting from your tongue to the tip of his cock snap.

you cough as you pant, caught between wanting to ease the pain in your throat and filling your lungs with air. he lets you rest for a while, only resting his cock over your neck so you can mouth at his balls while he flips your skirt up. he's surprised to find your pussy bare, no panties to hold the wetness dripping from your cunt.

he looks down at you, face barely visible under his cock and he can only shake his head. "little whore." he lands a heavy slap against your pussy and you moan in delight, earning you another slap that he quickly quietens down as he plunges his cock down your throat again. he's back to fucking your slick throat, like he wants to bring you to the end of your life which would be the case but he can tell you enjoy it with how much your hips are bucking.

he stands up to his full height as he rolls his cock slowly and deep into your mouth, watching in awe as your throat bulges along with his penetrations. the sight alone is enough for his balls to begin tightening up. "you gonna drink up my cum if i give it to you, baby?" he asks, voice all gravelly as you nod with his cock still lodged deep down your throat.

ken hums his approval as he begins picking up his pace. he wants to crack, knows that this rough treatment is usually tied with with dirty talk and degrading names but if he has to be honest, the love he has for you only increases with each passing second. the urge to give you praise and call you a good girl is right there, on the tip of his tongue. but he doesn't give in. only leans over to reward you with his two thick middle fingers into your sopping cunt.

your reaction is instant, just a pump and a curl of his fingers and your cunt tightens around his digits and your orgasm hits you full force. your quick climax catches him off guard, causing him to lose his one last bit of self restraint that leads him to spurting his thick cum down your throat. you remain pliant while he rubs your orgasm out of you, your throat twitching as you swallow his down. the little noises of pleasure you make has him groaning even further as he lets his head fall onto your belly.

after riding out the last few drops of his orgasm, he stands back up and carefully pulls his softening cock from your mouth. then he steps back to squat and meet your eye level. your eyes are half shut with pleasure written all over them, a satisfied smile of the same genre on your lips, and to be sure all the blood doesn't rush to your brain, he holds your head up and looks at you from there. you blink as you regain consciousness and smile at the first thing you see, him.

"i think," you huffs, words muffled as he leans down to kiss your wet mouth, "we need to make that routine for every time i miss you." he can only hum in acknowledgement, mouth too busy sucking the cum and drool from your mouth to say his own reply.

could you possibly write something where reader gets a kitten/puppy/bunny, any pet really, but it takes a lot of her attention and Steve gets all pouty and whiny because he’s a bit jealous 😂 I can fully see Steve being that kind of guy

Oh my gosh he would SO be jealous. That is until he forms a bond with the pet of his own 😏

Also, I’m making it a bunny because they’re so underrated. For this fic, I’m making the bunny a boy just to make him extra jealous but here’s a pic of my girl—this is how the bun in the fic will look like:

(I’m including some proper bunny care in this too as it’s not very well known to some other pet owners/people who aren’t familiar with bunnies. I don’t know how accurate it is to the 80s, but I wanted to include it in my fic just for the awareness 🙂)

Neglected

Steve Harrington x Reader

“What? What is it?”

Steve looked at you, exasperated as you mimed that your lips were sealed.

“What’s the big surprise that’s got you bouncing like a kid hyped up on sugar?” he asked, amused.

“We’re almost home, just wait and see,” you grinned.

You’d picked up Steve from his shift at Family Video, promising to come back and get his car later. You were so excited about your surprise, you couldn’t wait for him to drive home himself.

“This better be good,” he chuckled as you unlocked the door of yours and Steve’s place.

“It is,” you beamed.

You led him to the living room, where you’d left your surprise. You blinked, surprised yourself because it wasn’t where you’d left it.

Steve looked as dumbfounded as you did, though for a different reason.

“Why is there a ball of fluff on my favorite couch cushion?”

The little tan bunny that you’d left happily on the floor with toys, hay and a water dish earlier was now curled up on top of the cushion, laying peacefully. You looked at Steve with a raised brow.

“Since when do you have a favorite cushion?”

“Since someone occupied it,” he huffed, “But who is this?”

You smiled, sitting down next to the bunny. It raised its head, greeting you with nose twitches and lowering its head back on the pillow as you smoothed a hand over its soft fur, in a loving pet.

“Our new bunny,” you smiled, “You know how I occasionally volunteer at events at the shelter, right? Well this little guy was there.”

“And we’re keeping him for a few days?”

You frowned at his uncertainty. You were hoping he’d be a bit more excited.

“No, I adopted him,” you winced a bit, “I hope you’re not upset. I just thought it would be nice to have a pet. Sometimes the house can get so quiet when you’re at work.”

“No, no, of course I’m not upset,” Steve sat next to you, putting an arm around you and pulling you to him, “I just don’t know much about bunnies, that’s all.”

“Well, it’s true they’re more complex pets, but with proper care and a loving home, I’m sure Duke will thrive.”

“Duke?”

Steve looked amused at the bunny’s name.

“Hey, don’t make fun. That was his name there and I think it fits him well.”

You turned back to Duke, running a hand over his back, fingers raking through his soft fur.

“Want to pet him?” you asked.

“Sure,” Steve smiled, reaching a hand out.

Duke raised his head, curious. But soon settled back down against the pillow when his hand smoothed over his ears.

“Wow, he’s soft,” Steve said, sounding surprised.

“He is,” you chuckled, “Also helps that he’s pretty furry.”

Duke had fluffy cheeks and ears, along with tuft of fur between his ears. Some of it fell to the side, giving it an adorable unkempt look.

“Hi buddy,” he smiled at the lagomorph, then turned to you, “What does he eat?”

“Pellets, endless hay and greens, basically,” you answered.

“All that?” Steve asked, looking amazed.

“According to the shelter volunteers, rabbits graze a lot. But hay should be their main diet.”

He nodded, not even stopping for a breath before his next question.

“So where is he staying? Outside?”

He appeared confused by your look of horror.

“No way. Too many predators can get to him. Besides, domesticated bunnies are better indoors,” you said, holding up a hand before he could fire another question at you, “And not in a cage. He’s going to be free roam. We just got to bunny proof some wires and stuff cause he most likely will chew.”

“So little dude gets free reign of the house?” Steve looked skeptical.

“Yup. Don’t deny, it won’t make you happy to see this little ball of fluff happily jumping, hopping and exploring around.”

You looked down at Duke, hearts in your eyes, already completely in love with him.

“Okay baby,” Steve smiled, kissing your temple, “Whatever makes Duke the happiest. Just as long as he stays off my pillow.”

At that, Duke raised his head, peering at Steve almost with a knowing glint in his dark eyes. Steve had a feeling that Duke would win this one—along with the pillow.

What he didn’t expect was for him to also steal his girl along with his pillow.

•

Steve swore every time he turned around, you were with Duke or Duke was following you.

He’d really taken to you, hopping towards you for love when he saw you enter a room. His ears would bounce as he practically flew to you, white front paws on your leg as he balanced on hind feet to peer up at you.

You thought it was the cutest thing. Steve on the other hand, hadn’t yet bonded with Duke as much.

Sure, he was a sweet little guy, but he much preferred his girlfriend to him—much to Steve’s dismay. He wanted to cuddle with you too, but Duke was stealing all the cuddles that had been usually reserved for him.

“I swear, every time I turn around Duke is there to steal her from me!” Steve exclaimed, throwing his hands up in exasperation.

“Dude, you’re jealous of a bunny?” Dustin chuckled, highly amused.

“Shut it, Henderson,” he scowled.

“It’s a bunny, Steve.”

Dustin wasn’t hiding his laughter at his friend’s expense, that’s for sure.

“I know. But she’s always cuddling him and fawning over him and petting him,” Steve frowned.

“Oh, I see your problem. You want her to pet you too?”

Dustin couldn’t hold his laughter in, even as he managed to get the sentence out through wheezes of laughter.

“Man, if you can’t take this seriously, I’m never coming to you with my problems again,” Steve huffed.

“No one told you to come to me now,” Dustin pointed out.

Steve glared and Dustin raised his hands in surrender.

“Okay, okay. Don’t you like Duke, though?” Dustin asked, finally being serious.

“No, I do. He’s adorable. Yesterday he nudged my leg with his nose and just wanted attention, so I pet him,” Steve grinned, remembering how his skeptical first impression had quickly thawed after Duke had won him over.

“Doesn’t Y/N do the same thing to you when she wants attention?” Dustin teased.

Steve gave him a look and Dustin apologized.

“My bad, that’s the last retort, I swear.”

“Better be,” Steve mumbled.

“So just tell her you’re jealous of Duke,” Dustin said.

“Do you realize how crazy that sounds? Telling her I’m jealous of a rabbit?”

“Hey, I did mention that earlier didn’t I?” Dustin pointed out.

Steve groaned, wiping a hand down his face.

“You’re no help dude.”

“I’m here, anytime,” Dustin smirked.

•

When Steve got home, he found you on the living room floor, reading a book while Duke laid nearby you. It looked like he was napping.

“Uh babe?”

He set his car keys on the coffee table, looking down at you, confused.

“You do know we have a couch for laying on, right?”

“Yes,” you chuckled, closing your book, sitting up, “I was just spending time with Duke.”

“On the floor?” Steve asked, dubiously.

You nodded, scratching Duke’s cheek as he got up, hopping to you, like he was making sure you weren’t going anywhere.

“Since most bunnies don’t like being picked up, getting down on their level is a great way to bond with them. They get to sniff you and explore you and even boop you. They become familiar with their owners that way.”

“No wonder he stole my girl from me,” Steve pouted, watching as Duke hopped into your lap.

You immediately began petting him and he melted under your touch, curling up to you.

Steve knew how he felt. He practically had the same reaction to you.

“Steve Harrington,” you huffed a laugh, “Are you jealous? Of Duke?”

“No,” he crossed his arms definitely, “Of course not.”

As much as he tried to hide it, a pout still formed on his lips. Okay, he definitely was.

You sensed his lie and just stared at him with a cocked brow.

“Okay, yes. Just a bit. I miss cuddling you too, you know. You’ve been with him practically all the time since we got him,” Steve frowned.

“Aw, honey,” you pouted, patting the floor next to where you sat, “Come here.”

He didn’t have to be told twice as he sat down next to you.

“I’m sorry, Steve,” you said sincerely, “I didn’t mean to make you feel neglected. I’ve just been trying to make sure Duke was settling in well this last week.”

You frowned, resting your head on Steve’s shoulder. He smiled, pulling you into his arms, dropping a kiss on your head. Encircling you in his embrace always felt like the most natural thing to him, like you’d always meant to be within his arms.

“I’m sorry for being jealous of Duke,” he chuckled, looking at the tan ball of fluff still in your lap, “I really do love him. He just needs to learn how to share.”

“Well maybe, he also needs time with his daddy too,” you smiled.

You watched as Duke hopped out of your lap and over to Steve where he sniffed his leg before moving on and up to his thigh. He ran his chin over Steve’s thigh, making you giggle.

“Wait, what was that? Why’d he do that?” Steve asked, confused why you were laughing.

“That is calling chinning. When a rabbit does that to an object or person, it’s their way of claiming you or the object as their own. You now officially belong to Duke,” you grinned.

Steve laughed, petting Duke’s furry head.

“I think you might have to take that up with your mom, little guy. You two can fight it out over me.”

You rolled your eyes endearingly, but felt your heart warm as you watched Duke happily melt into a puddle as Steve continued petting him.

“I think he loves you,” you whispered, a smile on your face and a whole lot of love in your heart.

“Good,” Steve said matter-of-factly.

You raised your head from his shoulder to see the smile on his face that made his eyes shine with happiness.

“Because I love him, too.”

-ELSIE-

A sweet smell softly lulled me out of sleep. My heart skipped a beat when I realized I wasn't home. I rubbed my eyes for a moment trying to remember where I was.

The forest green sheets, the black duvet, the tufted headboard. I knew where I was. His familiar scent filled my nose.

Spreading my arm across the large bed I attempted to find any trace of him. He wasn't there. The bed wasn't even warm.

"What the fuck." I muttered sitting up, not quite remembering how I got ended up there. As much as I wanted to stay under his heavy black duvet, I needed to find him.

I stumbled my way out of the bedroom door into the small New York loft. The potent midday sun shined through the curtainless floor-to-ceiling windows. I brought a hand up to shield my eyes.

"Good morning!" Austin chirped from the kitchen, "I'm making pancakes."

Pancakes were our 'fix it' food— post hangover, post breakup, post breakdown, etc. You name it, pancakes fixed it. We would take turns making them, depending on who was hurting. Sometimes we helped each other if we were both down.

I lugged myself up onto a metal stool in front of the kitchen bar. The cold from the metal on my legs and the granite on my arms sent a chill down my body. I wrapped around my body to keep warm.

When he turned around, I immediately spotted the deep blue purple circle around his eye. Everything came rushing back—at least from the fight. A slight gasp left my mouth when I saw just how bad the bruise was.

"Aust-" I began before he cut me off.

"You want chocolate chips? I think I have blueberries too?" He had a habit of doing this, he was a master at changing the subject. Especially when he was trying to cheer me up or avoid a topic.

I was too exhausted to fight him over it right now. I didn't really want to talk about it anyway, too scared of follow up questions.

"Blueberries please." I mustered any molecule of happiness to form a gentle smile.

"Thanks, Aus"

He just nodded.

-

While I did unfortunately remember the fight, I did not remember how I ended up at Austin's. Maybe I had been drunker than I thought.

Amidst fully waking up and racking my brain for answers, I had somehow missed that his chest was bare. And he was only in sweatpants. I couldn't help but follow the accentuated muscles down his broad, tan back. Still on the band of his grey sweatpants, he turned around and gave me a much better view. I didn't need to see him naked to know that he was... gifted.

I quickly snapped my eyes up to meet his hoping to play it off as me being lost in a daze. Although, I'm pretty sure he had caught it.

He placed the pancakes on the gray granite bar and sat next to me with maple syrup. His pancakes where my favorite, even if he burnt them sometimes.

"So, um—" Unsure of where my confused mind was going, "I don't remember much from yesterday."

I watched him carefully to see his response.

His pink lips pressed together as he took in what I said and tucked a chunk of long golden hair behind his ear. His expression was indiscernible. Confused, sad, lost, apathetic, I couldn't tell which one it was.

"Well, I brought you to my apartment because you had a panic attack after...everything and then we came back here, and... passed out because you know... hungover."

"Got it."

I wasn't going to bring anything up. If he wanted to forget about it, so did I.

Thick sugary syrup slowly spread across my pancakes, pooling over the edges.

"I let you have the bed, I slept on the couch." He clarified, though I wasn't sure I needed that detail. I wished he had been there. You know, for warmth.

"Oh. I don't remember any of that but thank you."

I cut a slice from the perfectly golden stack. When I took a bite, my taste buds lit up. It wasn't until then that I realized I hadn't eaten in over 24 hours. Hastily taking another bite, in that moment it tasted like the best thing I'd ever had. A slight moan involuntarily rolled from my throat.

My eyes suddenly rounded. I didn't mean for that to happen. An embarrassed flush fell across my cheeks. I could feel his eyes on me.

"Enjoying your pancakes are you?" He teased. His voice slightly lower than normal. It twisted my stomach.

I gulped what was left of the pancakes sitting in my mouth.

"Yeah, they're really good." I brought up a napkin to my mouth, seemingly to wipe it clean. But really it was a cover to hide from him.

He must've felt the uncomfortable thickness in the air because he went silent for a beat.

"How are the chocolate chips? Did they melt alright?" His voice lighter now.

Before I went to answer, I realized something off.

"Chocolate chips? They're blueberries silly." Nudging my shoulder against him.

"Stop messing with me," He bumped me back, "Those are chocolate chips in there."

Austin normally had good memory. The chocolate vs blueberry decision happened not even 15 minutes ago. But he seemed adamant.

I scrunched my eyebrows, my eyes bouncing from him to my plate. I took my fork and butter knife to spread open the round slice.

"See, blueberries." I chuckled cautiously, "Are you feeling okay?"

He eyed the stack carefully. His gaze reminded me of someone analyzing a word search.

"Oh oh, yeah. Duh." He jokingly smacked his forehead with his palm. "I must still be hungover or something."

I couldn't explain it, but it just felt odd. It almost seemed like he was... lying to me? But what the fuck would he have to lie to me about pancakes.

I cleared my throat, "Um, do you think I could stay here for a couple days? Just until... he cools off."

"Yeah of course, you're always welcome here. You know that." He replied instantly.

Bringing his hand to my arm, he gave it a little squeeze. His touch flashed memories from yesterday across my mind. His voice, his fist against Nox, him defending me. Sweet, soft, shy Austin. Protective over me.

That's natural though right? Friends stand up for one another. And Nox did have me by the throat. I suppose it'd be pretty shitty if he hadn't at least tried to stop him.

Nonetheless, his deep assertive voice rang in my mind like an echo. I'd never heard him like that. I wanted to hear it again.

"Thanks- I really appreciate it." I smiled up at him. There was so much gentleness to his eyes. No matter what he said, his eyes were always so kind.

"Don't worry, I'll take the couch this time." I teased elbowing his arm.

-

The mood soon lightened as the 'fix it' pancake magic began to kick in.

Robin Ramen

Dick catches hypothermia after an encounter with Mr. Freeze. Good Dad Bruce to the rescue.

For @nbspacegay

~

When Bruce finds Dick, the kid is dopey with cold. His knees pulled up to his chest, the little yellow cape pulled tight around him, tears frozen to his cheeks.

“Bee.” He forces the word out through chattering teeth and aching jaw. His voice positively miserable. “Bee’zatyou?”

“It’s okay, Robin.” Bruce says gently. He pulls his own cape from his shoulders, wraps it around the eight year old nearly three times he’s so small. Scoops him into his arms. “It’s okay, Robin.” He says again. “You’re okay, I’ve got you.”

Bruce carries him out of the frozen bank vault, guilt burning in his chest. It mixes with the rage he feels for Freeze. Boils like a white, hot sun, at both of them, for putting in Dick in danger. He wonders if the eight year old can feel the warmth of it, seeping through Bruce’s skin.

He puts the car on autopilot as soon as they reach it. Carefully removes Dick’s now damp uniform, as they speed back to the Manor. It leaves Dick’s skin cool and clammy as it’s peeled away, his usual sunshine gold tan, now a moonlight grey.

“Alfred,” Bruce says into the comm, his voice is gruffer than usual. “Alfred, ETA is seventeen minutes. Potential hypothermia.”

Bruce hears Alfred pause, hears the concern and chastisement and regret in the older man’s single intake of breath and then he says “Of course, sir.” And clicks out of the channel.

“You’re okay, Dickie.” Bruce turns back to Robin. The eight year old is listless and quiet. Eyes glazed as he watches Bruce manoeuvre him into a spare pair of sweatpants and t-shirt to replace the uniform. There’s no sweater for Dick in the car for some reason, so Bruce pulls one of his own hoodies over the kid’s head. It swallows him up almost immediately, comes down to his knees and well past the tips of his fingers. Bruce pulls the hood up, wraps Dick up in Batman’s cape again and then pulls him into his lap. Holds him close.

It doesn’t take them twenty minutes to reach the Cave. Alfred is waiting with blankets and hot chocolate.

“How is he?” He asks, grim faced, as Bruce climbs out of the car with his precious bundle.

“M’okay.” Dick mumbles. He’s still cool to touch, still limp and floppy. Still impossibly small in Bruce’s arms.

Bruce heads towards the med bay, but Alfred’s hand on his arm stops him. “I’ve prepared the drawing room.” He says softly. “Far better perhaps, than a damp cave?”

“Hn.” Bruce grunts, ready to head towards the Cave stairs.

“Let me take him.” Alfred says, blocking Bruce again. “You need to shower, get out of that suit.”

Bruce hesitates, not ready to let Dick out of his sight. Not ready to let his mind start torturing him with the what if’s and could have’s of the evening. Then he nods and gently places the eight year old in Alfred’s arms.

He pushes Dick’s damp hair back from his forehead. His skin still cold and clammy. “I won’t be long, Dickie.” He promises.

Dick murmurs something unintelligible, eyelids fluttering, as Alfred carries him out of the Cave.

Bruce finds them a short while later in the Drawing Room. A tight ball of guilt and worry sticks in his chest. A fire is blazing and Dick is buried beneath a mountain of blankets on the couch. A tuft of black hair poking out over to glassy, blue eyes. Alfred places a hand on Bruce’s shoulder as he leaves, but doesn’t speak.

Bruce takes a breath. “Hey chum.” He says gently, kneeling by the sofa. He runs a hand over Dick’s head, down to the back of his neck. “How’re you feeling?”

“Cold.” Dick slurs. Then he lets out a miserable moan. “M’sorry B.” Hot tears spill onto cool skin. “M’sorry.”

“Hey, hey now.” Bruce coos softly, twisting so his eyes are level with Dick’s. “What are you apologising for?”

“I shouldn’ta let Freeze—uh…” He trails off as a shiver runs through him, another tear slipping down his cheek.

Bruce’s heart hurts, his poor boy. “Hold on, Dickie.” He says quietly, climbing to his feet, picking up the bundle of blankets that his son as he goes. He adjusts the eight year old in his arms, then sits down on the couch. Cuddles the little boy close to his chest. “It’s okay, darling.” He murmurs softly, hands gently rubbing up and down Dick’s back to warm him up. “You didn’t do anything wrong.“

Dick sniffs miserably into Bruce’s shoulder. His cold fingers tucked under Bruce’s chin. “I shouldn’ta got stuck. What if you needed me?”

Bruce takes one of Dick’s hands in his own, presses a kiss to his fingertips. “We need each other chum.” He says gently. “That’s what makes us a team.”

Dick sniffs again, but Bruce can feel him relax a little, beneath all the blankets. He falls into an exhausted sleep.

An hour or so later, Dick stirs. His head popping up from beneath Bruce’s chin. His arms have disappeared into the giant sleeves of Bruce’s hoody and he struggles to get his hands free.

Bruce blinks his own sleep away. Helps the eight year old’s hands escape the enormous jumper. “How’re you feeling,chum?” He asks. The fire is just dying embers now.

Dick is wriggling, trying to escape all of the many, many blankets. “Hungry.” He mumbles.

“Yeah?” Bruce asks, helping the eight year old free himself. “Let’s go see what we can rustle up.”

Dick raises a sceptical eyebrow. “Is Alfred awake?” He asks.

Bruce pouts. “I can make soup, Dick.”

Dick makes a face. “Tell that to the pan you melted last weekend.”

Bruce laughs at that, sitting the eight year old on his hip as he stands from the sofa. “I think Alfred has left us some out. We just need to microwave it.”

Dick nods, leans his head on Bruce’s shoulder, forehead pressed to Bruce’s neck. His skin is warmer now, but still a little cool for Bruce’s liking.

Bruce sits him on the island in the kitchen. Rolls the sleeves of the hoody up five times before Dick can finally use his hands.

Alfred has left out three different kinds of soup, one bowl of porridge and a giant mug of hot chocolate. Each with very clear, detailed instructions on how to warm them up without any major disasters. Bruce reads each option out to Dick, feels his heart hurt as the poor kid listens quietly, still tired and listless.

“Robin Ramen, please.” He says, once Bruce is finished. “And hot chocolate.”

Bruce nods. “One Robin Ramen coming right up.” He says with a flourish. It’s one of Alfred’s own recipes, a twist on the classic ramen recipe, but without a couple of ingredients Dick is allergic to. Bruce pops the bowl in the microwave, punches in the instructions left by the older man.

“Don’t burn it.” Dick warns, though he’s still too tired for his usual cheekiness. He leans his head against Bruce’s chest as they wait for the microwave to ding and Bruce runs his fingers through the eight years old’s hair.

Half a bowl of ramen and nearly all the hot chocolate later, Dick is finally starting to perk up. He has some colour back in his cheeks, though he still looks drained. “Did you get Freeze at least?” He asks, from where he sits at the breakfast bar. His legs swing beneath him.

Bruce shakes his head. “Don’t worry. We’ll get him next time.”

Dick drops his spoon against the bowl with a clatter. He looks miserable. “B you should have got him instead of me. You need to keep Gotham safe.”

“Dickie.” Bruce says seriously, moving to sit next to the eight year old. “The only person I need to keep safe is you. You and Alfred.”

“But—“ Dick begins.

“No.” Bruce says firmly. “If it’s Gotham or you, my choice is always you, chum. Always. What’s the point in saving the city if you’re not here with me to enjoy it, huh?”

Dick looks down into his bowl. Nods silently. “I was scared.” He says eventually. Voice so quiet, Bruce almost doesn’t hear it. “It was so cold.”

“I know, darling.” Bruce says gently. “It’s okay to be scared.”

Dick nods again. Still doesn’t look up. “Can we go to bed now? M’tired.”

Bruce nods. “Of course.” He scoops the eight year old up again, holds him tight. “You wanna stay with me?”

Dick nods into Bruce’s shoulder. Bruce pretends he can’t feel the warm tears soaking through his shirt.

When they reach Bruce’s bedroom, Dick runs and jumps into the giant bed. Bruce tries not to laugh as he goes, he looks like E.T. in the giant hoodie.

“Don’t think you’re getting away with not brushing your teeth any night, other than tonight.” Bruce warns.

Dick flashes him a grin from where he’s already huddled beneath the sheets. “C’mon slow poke, or I’m gonna sleep right in the middle and you’ll have to sleep at the bottom with Ace.”

“I’d like to see you try it.” Bruce says, climbing in beside the eight year old, ignoring the small, evil laugh Dick lets out. “Are you still cold, chum?” He asks.

“A little.” Dick says quietly. He wriggles himself into Bruce’s space.

Bruce reaches over and switches out the light, wraps his arms around the tiny bundle that is Robin.

“G’night, B.” Dick says, voice already slurred with sleep.

“G’night Dickie.” Bruce says and he presses a kiss to Dick’s hair, holds him close to his chest. Safe and warm.

“Babe!” Your boyfriend called out.

You stood at the kitchen counter, chopping veggies to toss into the instant curry that was currently heating up on the stove. 

“I’m in the kitchen!” you reply. 

The both of you had a long week and all you wanted to do was curl up on the couch and enjoy a hot meal with your favorite person.  

“Welcome home baby,” you smile upon hearing him enter the room, “Are you hungry? I’m preparing dinner now - it should be ready in about 15.”

“Are you the main course?” he wraps his strong arms around your waist, pulling you into a warm embrace. He gives your body a firm squeeze and snuggles his face into the crook of your neck.

“Yuji,” you whine, “that tickles!” 

He chuckles but ignores your protests and slides a daring hand underneath your pink apron to give your nipple a squeeze. 

“I’m cooking here!” you scold. You place the knife down to turn around to look up at your boyfriend.

“How do I look?” he grins as he pulls away. A pair of tan pointed ears sit at the top of his head. The sight causes you to giggle.

“What are you supposed to be?”

“A dog,” he pouts, “isn’t that obvious? I went last-minute costume shopping with Fushiguro for the Halloween party this weekend.”

“I guess I can see it,” you tease, “gotta love my golden retriever of a boyfriend.”

You reach up to pluck the fake ears off his head but to the surprise of both of you, they do not slide off with ease causing Itadori to let out a high-pitched yelp. Startled, you retract your hand and quickly apologize. 

“That hurt,” he whined.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” you rub his head lovingly. This time, you try to remove the headband more gently. It doesn’t budge causing you to gasp.

“Yuji,” you saw slowly, “...did you glue it to your head?”

“What do you mean?” he gives you an incredulous look, “it’s a headband!” He reaches up to give the ears a firm tug and to his horror, they refuse to budge. 

“Where the heck did you buy these from?” you cradle his face in your hands to get a better look at the ears.  Upon taking a closer look, you see that there is no band. In a perplexed trance, you unconsciously rub where the base of the ears are fused to his head. 

“Mhmm,” Itadori whimpers, “Baby, don’t do that.”

He slouches forward, arms caging you between his tall frame and the kitchen counter. His eyes are closed and his brow creased in deep concentration.

When you don’t cease the gentle assault on his ears, you feel the warmth of his breath quicken. The reaction piques your curiosity causing you to pinch the fluffy tufts on his head and in return he grinds the growing bulge in his pants against your thigh. You bite your lip deviously upon realizing that this newfound discovery had your boyfriend like putty in your hands.

“You like that baby?” you tippy-toe to press a kiss to his adam’s apple. You feel it bob as he swallows causing you to giggle.

He grips your forearms firmly, pushing you away. His actions surprise you but you look up at him expectantly.  Unarguably, his arousal was evident causing you to smirk as you reach to unbutton his pants. As soon as your fingertips reach the hem of his pants, Itadori grasps both of your wrists, holding them above your head. His sudden roughness causes you to let out a moan.

“Yuji,” you whine, “Let me help you baby.”

You lift your leg up to rub the exposed flesh of your thighs along his. Shackling your wrists in one hand, he grips your thigh in the other stopping it from moving any further. Slowly he trails his hand back up leaving a wake of goosebumps in its trail. Dipping his hand under the flow of your t-shirt, he traces a teasing finger along the hem of your panties. His actions cause your sex to clench, wanting nothing more than to be absolutely filled with his cock. 

“Do something,” you complain. He gives you a dark look before bending down, bringing your underwear with him. 

“Take these off,” he commands. You step out of the undergarments too quickly, almost tripping, but his strong hands hold you up. Your mind is hazy, clouded with the dripping desire to please your boyfriend.

“Good girl,” he praises. He stands up quickly, not letting go of your wrists. With his other hand, he trails his long fingers along the plump flesh of your lips. Instinctively, your tongue darts out, desperate for skin-to-skin contact. 

He clicks his tongue, “You were doing so good baby.”

You look up at him with doe-like eyes, feigning innocence. 

“Open,” he demands. His deep voice vibrates all the way down to your sex and you’re quick to follow his directions.

To your surprise, he grips your tongue, pulling it out before shoving three digits to the back of your throat. The action causes you to gag but you take the entirety of them well. Without breaking eye contact, wrap your warm lips around his fingers, making sure they are well coated with your saliva before giving them a firm suck. Itadori can’t help but groan at the lewd sight. 

Finally, he releases his hold on your wrists to grab a handful of your hair.  He gives it a stinging tug, forcing your head to back to look up at him.  

“Open your mouth for me, baby,” he strokes the inside of your mouth, eliciting a moan from you. 

You give him one last suck before releasing his fingers with a pop.  He retracts his hand, pulling a string of saliva with it.  He growls before pinching your cheeks between his thumb and forefinger.

“Wider.”

You are quick to obey his command. He chuckles darkly in approval before shoving your lacy black panties into your awaiting mouth, leaving you gagged. 

“Needed to shut up this pretty mouth,” he drawls before lifting the apron and t-shirt above your head.  You whimper but hold your arms above your head, waiting to be stripped completely.  To your surprise, it doesn’t come. Keeping the shirt at eye level, Itadori reaches behind your head to tie it around your head, blindfolding you.

“Mphhh!” you cry out but your panties drown out your protests.

Sliding the thin straps of your apron up your arms, he stops at your wrists, tying a skillful knot and binding your wrist together.  You are left completely handicapped by your boyfriend’s sadistic ministrations. However, you cannot deny how incredibly turned on you are. Although he barely even touched you, you feel a wet warmth pool between your legs, coating the inside of your thighs. 

“Look at you,” he cooes before shoving your shoulders down, forcing you to kneel before him, 

“You look so pretty for me like this.”

You moan, only wanting to let him know of your desire. He groans causing you to rub your thighs together, craving some sort of friction.

“Ah, ah, ah,” he tuts, before nudging your thighs apart with his foot. 

Being blindfolded, tied up, and completely at his mercy has your hearing heightened.  The sound of his belt buckle and the unzipping of his pants make your mouth water.  Itadori wastes no time and pulls the soaked panty from your mouth.  You release a sigh of relief but keep your mouth open, knowing that if you behaved, you’d be rewarded accordingly.

Without any warning, he slaps his hard length along your awaiting tongue and you welcome his administrations greedily. He lets out a guttural groan when you slurp his cock into your mouth and bob your head when you feel his grip tighten in your hair.

“Fuck,” he grunts, “Not so fast or I’ll cum.”

His comment only encourages you to suck harder and faster. You flatten your tongue along the base of his cock and drag it upward teasingly before sinking back down taking him entirely. Contradicting his earlier protest, he begins to desperately grind into your face. 

“Oh, baby, you’re drooling everywhere,” he pants.

You grin, emphasizing the slurping sounds eliciting from where the both of you are connected. Your heart swooned at his praises - nothing made you happier than to please the man in front of you.  

“Slower princess,” he lets out a breathy chuckle, “I’m not going anywhere.”

You whine and release his cock with a pop. “When are you gonna fuck me?”

He growls. 

“Turn over, baby,” Itadori pumps his length with his left hand and grips your arm with the other. 

He pulls you up swiftly before forcing you to bend over the counter.  The sudden action causes you to groan but it doesn’t stop you from rutting your hips back to grind onto your boyfriends’ exposed cock.

Without warning, he shoves his hot length into your sex causing you to cry out.  He stills upon entering and all you can hear his erratic breathing.  

“Yuji,” you whine, “Please!”

“ I don’t know what that means, pet.”

You can’t help but giggle at the irony at his words and turn to look at him despite being blindfolded, “Are you sure you should be the one saying that...pet?”

“Heh,” he grinds his hips violently against your own causing you to choke on your laugh, “Are you sure you're in any place to be talking to me like that?”

“You were the one tempting me that slutty look,” you say daringly, “Should I stroke your head ears again?”

“Don’t.”

Thrust.

“Test.”

Thrust.

“Me.”

He grunts and sputters after each pump into your sex.

The naughty thoughts clouding your mind escape your mouth before you can you can process the possible consequences.

“Make me...pup.”

“We can stop right now,” he threatens before stilling his hips completely. 

You huff, your stubbornness getting the best of you. But you don’t want him to stop.

“No,” you mumble.

“What was that?” he reassumes his assault on your sex. His sudden and violent thrust upward stretches you to extremities, causing you to cry out.

“I’m sorry!” At this point, you're begging to be fucked. And Itadori knew it.

“What do you want,” you knew he was grinning from ear to ear upon hearing your submission.

“...fuck me,” 

He rams his cock, filling you up to the brim until his balls are slapping against your ass. The moans that escape your lips are becoming second nature to you and only edge your boyfriend to thrust into you faster. He reaches up to wrap his hand around your neck, gripping hard to keep you in place.  His other hand slides down the arch of your body and nudges itself between your legs. He finds his way to your heat, coating his middle and ring finger before rubbing your clit at a fastened pace. 

“Fuck-” you sputter as he continues to ram into you.

“Come on baby,” he coaxes, “Be a good girl and cum for me.”

His words stimulate you further, flinging you into obscurity, while his strong thrusts continue to fuck you into oblivion. Still blindfolded, the pleasure is overwhelming and envelopes your entire existence, making you unable to put your own thoughts into words. His thrusts become sloppy and uneven but he manages to keep his quick pace. 

To your right, you hear the forgotten curry begin to bubble over, filling the room with the smell of burning smoke and sex.  Unable to form words, the both of you are so close and ignore your ruined dinner. 

“Fuckmeharder,” you manage to slur, “pleash-” 

The grip on your neck and his fast flicks pushes you off the edge with a leg-shaking orgasm. He bends down further and nuzzles his face into the crook of your neck.  You feel his sharp fangs graze a vein before completely sinking in. Your release a harsh scream as you come and despite still being tied up, you desperately reach above your head to touch any part of Itadori that you could. Your fingers graze the tips of his puppy ears and the action causes his hips still. You feel his cock twitch in your sex, emptying out his hot seed into your core.  You shiver at the sensation, as you come down from your high.

The only sound that fills the room is the sizzling of the burning curry and both of your uneven breaths. He licks the small wound he inflicted on your neck causing you to groan.

“Yuji,“ you whine, wanting nothing more than for him to release the binds around your eyes and wrists.

He unfastens both, holding you upright so you don’t fall over from exhaustion. 

“So the ears,” you begin to turn around.

“-came off,” he states with confusion. 

Itadori looks at the headband sitting in his hand incredulously. As mysterious as the object was, the both of you were tired. He tosses the headband into the trash before turning off the stove.

“I liked those,” you jokingly pout.  He shakes your head before pinching your cheeks.

“Come on, let’s go to bed,”  Your lover picks you up to cradle you into his strong arms and carries your shared bedroom.  Little did the both of you know, it wouldn’t be the end of your encounters with the dangerous yet fluffy headpiece.

Green is My Favorite Color Ch. 11

Series Summary: Dean has been her hero from childhood, can she ever get him to be more?

Pairings: Dean x OFC

Warnings: Angst, some fluff, hospital setting, talk of injuries.

Word Count: 3,395

Chapter Summary: What will happen for Julie and Dean when she wakes up?

A/N:  The eleventh chapter in a longer series. As I’m writing, the story is stretching out a little and I’m thinking it’s going to be at least 20 chapters. Sorry! 😬 It’s what I’ll call cannon adjacent. It will follow the general storylines through the seasons, but I’m creating my own offshoots. 😊

A/N 2: I'm SO sorry this chapter was two weeks in coming. RL got all up in my face! LOL! The next chapter should be up by the end of this coming week. I hope chapter 11 was worth the wait even though it's a bit short. I know for sure the next chapter will be pretty long, so I figured I wouldn't tire you out with this one! 😉

Julie's eyelids felt heavier than lead as she tried to force them open. The room was dim, but still bright to her exhausted eyeballs. They felt grainy and dry, but she finally managed to keep them open long enough to take in her surroundings.

She was in a bed.

She looked down at her chest to see the countless tubes and wires that were connected to her.

Check that - she was in a hospital bed.

She looked passed the end of her bed, to her right, and saw Sam's very long frame scrunched up on a tiny, two person, blue vinyl, hospital couch.

It made her smile.

Then at the foot of her bed were two wooden chairs, covered in more vinyl, yellow and orange this time. One of the chairs held a dozing Bobby, his hat over his eyes and his mouth open slightly, a light snore issuing from it.

The other chair held a man in a tan trench coat, staring at the floor. She didn't recognize him, but there was a sort of vague familiarity there that she couldn't put her finger on.

Sitting beside her on her left, was Dean.

His hand was pushed through the side rail of the bed so it rested over hers. He sat upright in what looked like the world's most uncomfortable chair, the blue vinyl that covered parts of the arms and back was cracked and tufts of white stuffing were sticking out.

He couldn't possibly be comfortable, and yet he was sleeping. Maybe he was just exhausted Julie reasoned, since there were dark purple circles under his eyes and his cheeks looked sunken and pale. He had what looked like several days worth of beard covering his face and Julie found she wanted to reach up and run her fingers through it.

As she shifted her hand under his, intending to do just that, his eyes sprung open and then widened in shock.

"Jules." he whispered. Then he shouted, "Jules!"

The other three men jumped to their feet, Sam's legs a little rubbery under him after being constricted for so long.

"Sam, go get the doctor." Dean shouted at him and Sam nodded, his deep dimples showing in his wide grin as he dashed out the door.

Julie shook her head, overwhelmed by all the faces staring at her in expectation. She gave a kind of feeble wave.

"Hi." she said, lamely.

But Dean was beaming down at her like she'd just given the most rousing of speeches. Bobby was surreptitiously wiping away tears and the handsome blue-eyed man at the end of the bed gave her a small smile and a nod.

He continued to be familiar, his identity just out of reach. Dean saw her staring at him and smiled.

"Oh, yeah. Guess you guys haven't officially met. Cas, this is Julie. Jules, this is Cas."

Julie remembered suddenly where she recognized him from. He'd been with Bobby and Sam when they came to fight the angels.

"Angels." Julie whispered.

It all came rushing back to her memory and she closed her eyes, her breath catching as the fear and terror came rushing back to her.

Dean leaned down and pressed his lips to her forehead. "It's okay, Jules. You're safe now." Before he could say anything more, the doctor came in, with a bright smile on her face.

"Good morning, Ms. Taylor. I'm Dr. Doshi." She said with a hint of a musical Indian accent lilting her words. "We've been a little worried about you. You've had quite the room full of champions here these last few days." she said, indicating the four very large men taking up most of the room.

"Days?" Julie asked, shocked.

"Yes." The doctor said as she pushed her way in between Dean and the bed, paying no mind to his hulking presence or his refusal to move.

She looked at the machines that were beeping around Julie and wrote on the clipboard she carried before tucking it under her arm and laying her hand on Julie’s shoulder.

"It was almost three days ago that you were mugged and stabbed. Do you remember what happened?"

Julie looked at Dean and he smiled. "Oh, um...no, I'm sorry. I don't remember much of anything."

The doctor nodded and smiled kindly again, patting her and moving off to the other side of the bed to mark down numbers from those blinking and beeping machines.

"Not to worry, my dear. That's very common when someone suffers a trauma as you did. It may come back to you slowly, or it may not come back at all. But for now the most important thing is that you continue to rest and improve."

She moved to the foot of the bed and hung the clipboard there. "You had a puncture to your spleen and had emergency surgery to remove it. You shouldn't worry about the loss, since your liver will take over for most of the functions your spleen carried out."

Julie just nodded feeling as though her head might split from the sheer amount of data being processed by her brain.

"You lost a lot of blood, and we were quite concerned for some time about the excessive internal bleeding you’d suffered. You also had an infection take hold at the site of the wound, but you seem to be coming along nicely now. Your vitals are good, and you're awake which is a very big sign of improvement."

The doctor turned to the men. "Now gentlemen, against all the rules of the hospital, I have given you permission to stay here while Ms. Taylor's condition was so unstable. But I'm afraid now, I must insist that you go get a proper night's sleep for yourselves, eat food, and return tomorrow when visiting hours begin."

The others nodded reluctantly, but Dean sat back on the uncomfortable chair. "No, I'm gonna stay here."

Dr. Doshi smiled sweetly, but her voice was like steel. "No, Mr. Winchester, you will not stay here. You will leave with your friends and let Ms. Taylor rest. She is only going to sleep now, anyway."

Julie turned her head to Dean in time to see him give the little doctor the most withering stare he could muster up. "Yes, and when she wakes up, I will be here."

"Dean." Julie admonished quietly. But she needn't have bothered. Dr. Doshi was not impressed with or bothered by his steely demeanor.

"You will be here in the morning when visiting hours begin, at seven AM."

The doctor stared at the hunter, never losing her smile, but never giving an inch either. Clearly Dean was not the first stubborn patient or family she'd dealt with and she would brook no nonsense.

Finally her eyes softened slightly and she leaned forward to pat Dean's hand. "I promise we'll take good care of her, haven't we so far?"

Dean nodded, begrudgingly.

Dr. Doshi nodded back. "And so now I must insist that you don't make yourself our next patient. Please go take care of yourselves." she said, looking around and including the other three men in her concern.

Dean caved. Orders and commands he could fight, but he got awkward when someone showed concern for him, and he never really knew how to act.

"Fine." he said quietly. "Can I have two minutes?"

Dr. Doshi nodded as she turned away. "Just two and no more." Dean rolled his eyes.

Bobby and Sam came and gave her a hug telling her they'd be back first thing. Cas shook her hand a little stiffly and patted Dean on the shoulder as he left.

Dean looked down at her and suddenly the room was very empty and quiet. Julie smiled at him, completely unsure how to act now that they were alone. She was so tired and her mind was still swimming with everything it was trying to process.

Seeming to understand, Dean just leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her cheek before he pulled back and took her hand.

"I'll go and let you sleep. I just wanted to let you know that you'll be safe. Cas branded your ribs."

Julie's eyes got wide. "He did what?"

Dean smiled. "It's an Enochian sigil. It will keep you hidden from the angels. Cas carved it into your ribs, it's what he did for me and Sam."

His eyes got dark, and Julie could see guilt rear up in his expression. "God, Jules, I'm so sorry. I should have sent Cas to you a long time ago to hide you from them. It was so careless...so..." he broke off, his jaw clenched.

"Dean, don't." Julie said, tears coming to her eyes.

She wasn't sure why she was crying. Maybe it was just the culmination of everything that had happened, or maybe it was her sadness at knowing that no matter what she said, Dean wouldn't let go of bearing the guilt for what had happened. Whatever the reason, tears spilled down her cheeks and Dean shook his head.

"Don't cry, Sweetheart." He let go of her hand and reached into his jacket pocket.

"Here. Maybe you could use this again." He said as he opened his hand to show her what he’d pulled out.

Hanging from a thin piece of black cloth was her cherished silver talisman. He tied the delicate cloth around her wrist like a bracelet.

Instead of ending her tears like Dean had hoped, her sobs increased.

Dean was immediately contrite. "Jules, this...it was supposed to help!"

Julie laughed through her tears. "It does. Really." She reached up for him and he immediately leaned down to her so she wouldn't have to stretch.

She pulled him in for a kiss that was meant to be quick, but turned heated and extended as soon as her lips met his. Ten months of wanting his mouth on hers made it very difficult to stop or pull away.

But the sound of a throat being cleared pulled them apart. In the doorway, Dr. Doshi stood and tapped her watch without saying anything. Dean growled slightly, and Dr. Doshi smiled back.

With one more wholly unsatisfying peck on the lips, Dean stood up. "I'll be back first thing." Dean promised.

Julie nodded and brushed away the last of her tears and smiled. "I'll be here."

Dr. Doshi moved out of the doorway as Dean pushed passed her. "Doctor." He acknowledged with a tight smile.

"Mr. Winchester."

The next morning Julie was sitting up drinking a cup of coffee from her breakfast tray when she heard Dean’s voice.

“It’s five friggin’ minutes! Are you kidding me?” He wasn’t exactly yelling, but he could definitely be heard.

Julie heard the muffled and significantly quieter voices of the nurses, but couldn’t make out their response.

“So what if she is sleeping? Do you think I’m gonna go in there with a fucking brass band and wake her up? I just want to go into her room.” He seemed to realize he was contradicting his claim of being able to be quiet, and his voice got low enough that she could no longer hear him.

But he must have won the fight because shortly thereafter he was quietly opening her door and peaking inside. When he saw her sitting up finishing her breakfast, he scowled out the open door. “She’s eating breakfast, and you’re telling me you didn’t know if she was awake?”

He rolled his eyes and tried to slam the door, but it was on hydraulics and couldn’t be slammed. He settled for scowling his way over to her bedside, cup of coffee in hand.

“Good morning!” Julie said, extra chipper. “Sounds like your morning is off to a great start!” She gave him an overly cheery smile and he returned it with an incredibly sarcastic one.

“They weren’t going to let me in because visiting hours didn’t start for another five minutes. Can you believe that? Why are they so against visitors here?” He handed over the coffee he held and took the plastic cup out of her hand.

“Here, this will be much better.” He said, setting the hospital coffee down on her breakfast tray.

Julie took a sip and let out a grateful groan. It was delicious and was once again made perfectly to her preferences.

Magic.

She pushed her breakfast tray out of the way and scooted her legs over a little, patting the bed, so Dean would sit down.

“How are you feeling?” He asked as he sat.

Julie shrugged. “Not bad. They gave me a lot of painkillers, so I slept pretty good.” She dangled the charm on her wrist and smiled. “And of course, I had this.”

Dean smiled back, but it was short lived. “Jules...” he began and Julie knew what he was going to say before he said it.

“I’m so sorry. I never thought…I mean, I knew how badly Zachariah wanted me to say yes, and I knew what he was willing to do to us, to me and Sam, to make it happen, I just didn’t think he’d go so far as to hurt someone completely innocent and uninvolved.”

He shook his head. “But I should have known. I should have realized how fanatical he was. I should have had Cas ward you a long time ago. It’s just…” He closed his eyes tightly. “I spend so much time actively trying not to think about you, that I…” He trailed off and opened his eyes again.

“Jules, I’m so sorry. I can't ever...” his voice was too choked to finish his thought.

Julie shook her head and reached out her hand toward him. He took it and trapped it between both of his. “Please, don’t apologize, Dean. And don’t feel guilty. You didn’t do this to me, and it's not your fault." Julie tried to bolster him with a grin. "You did, however, end the guy who did, so...thanks!”

Dean nodded absently and Julie knew he wasn’t going to let go of the blame. “Yeah,” he said with a smile, “I managed it with a pretty amazing assist from this newbie hunter. You shoulda seen her.”

Julie blushed a little, but before she could respond, Cas pushed open the door. “Dean.”

He noticed Julie and nodded. “Hello. How are you this morning?”

“Better, thanks.”

“That's good.” The angel looked back to Dean. “We’ve gotta go, Dean.”

Julie felt her heart drop. Dean rolled his eyes and licked his lips before he looked over his shoulder at Cas. “Yeah, okay Cas. Just give me a minute.”

Dean turned back to Julie and opened his mouth to speak but then he paused, looking back to Cas still standing in the doorway. He stared at him for a moment before Cas seemed to cotton on.

“I’m sensing awkwardness. I should leave the room?” He asked.

“Yeah, Cas. 'Give me a minute', means go away and I’ll see you in a minute. Or two.” He added when he realized the angel was likely to time out an exact minute.

Cas nodded slightly and left the room.

Dean shook his head and smiled at Julie. “He grows on you.”

Julie nodded. “I bet. Tell him I say thank you for helping to save our lives.”

“I will.”

Julie frowned. “How did the three of them even know where we were, or that we were in trouble?”

“Cas.” Dean said, nodding toward the door and the departed angel. “Another angel, Inias, an old garrison buddy of Cas’, didn’t approve of what Zachariah was doing, involving an innocent human, and reached out to Cas.”

Julie nodded. “I guess we should be grateful not all the angels are sadistic monsters.”

Dean gave a small huff and rolled his eyes. He didn’t seem to be won over.

There was quiet for a moment and then Julie spoke, barely above a whisper. “You’re leaving?”

Dean inhaled deeply. “Cas says there’s a rogue cupid in a little town back east.”

Julie frowned. “A rogue cupid? Like, you mean the fat baby with a bow and arrow?”

“That’s what I said,” Dean smiled at her. “but Cas says a cupid looks pretty much like any other angel.”

Julie nodded. “Well, we don’t want a rogue angel running around, that’s for sure.”

Silence reigned again, but it was so full of unspoken things that Julie felt choked by it.

Finally Dean stood up and moved to her side. He leaned down and grasped her face with both hands and captured her mouth in a deep kiss.

With all the tubes and wires still hooked up to her Dean couldn’t get as close to her as he wanted, but he swept his tongue into her mouth, licking up into her and causing Julie’s stomach to tighten and her core muscles to clench.

He slanted his mouth over hers again and again, moaning softly as she grasped the zippered sides of his green canvas jacket and pulled him closer.

Suddenly there was a very loud beeping noise coming from one of the machines beside the bed and a nurse came rushing in. Seeing, the tableau of Dean grasping Julie’s face and Julie grabbing onto Dean, the nurse rolled her eyes, but grinned as she moved over to stop the beeping.

“Your heart rate spiked.” She said, blushing slightly as she looked at Dean, with his kiss swollen lips and heated expression. “Try to be careful.”

She practically ran out of the room and Dean dropped his forehead to Julie’s with a chuckle. “I’m pretty sure most of the medical team looking after you wants to throttle me.”

Julie smiled through the tears that sprang to her eyes as Dean pulled away. She let her hands drop from him and looked down at her lap.

“Jules.” Dean said, his voice soft and imploring. “Please…don’t.”

Julie looked up at him and didn’t try to stop her tears. “I can’t help it. I won’t pretend I’m okay with this, because I’m not. I know you have to go now, but come back to me. When this hunt is over, come back to Bobby’s, let me help you heal, let me take care of you just a little bit before the next fight comes. And when I’m well again, let me join the battle, let me fight beside you.”

Her voice got very soft as she reached out a hand and ran it down his cheek.

“God, Dean. Just let me love you.”

Dean closed his eyes and she could see the column of his throat moving up and down as he swallowed. When he opened his eyes again, Julie saw that something had shifted in his gaze. He almost looked resigned and fearful. His look was one that said, 'God, I shouldn’t be doing this.' He opened his mouth to say something but Cas was suddenly there in the doorway.

“I’m sorry, Dean, but it’s been a lot more than two minutes, and we really must go now.”

Julie was desperate to know what Dean had been about to say, but he just nodded silently, jaw clenched, before he pressed a kiss to her cheek and pulled away.

“Please take care of yourself, Jules. Sam will stop in right away to say goodbye and Bobby and Annie are going to be here soon to stay with you.”

He nodded again stiffly and his smile was more like a grimace. “I’ll see ya, kid.” He said and spun away from her and out the door.

Cas looked at her heartbroken face and her tears falling rapidly and frowned deeply. “I really am very sorry Julie. I don’t know…” He paused and looked very confused.

“I’m sorry.” He repeated, following Dean out the door, and Julie was alone again, her heart broken again.

But this time she had a tiny spot of light in the form of Dean’s interrupted thought. He was going to say something, and despite telling herself that it was stupid to consider it, stupid to think he was going to say anything besides another goodbye, Julie couldn’t beat back the kernel of hope in her heart that maybe she would see him again soon. Or sooner than last time anyway.

She did see him a lot sooner. He showed up on her doorstep three months later, when his world ended.
