Falling Chairs Don't Scare Me
Bucky Barnes x Reader
(Found Home series (part 3))
Warnings: swearing, reader has trauma, heavily implied past abuse, throwing up
Summary: Bucky and his colleague offer you a place to stay for the night.
Word Count: 1.2k
A/N - I promise the story will be cute after time, but I got a story I wanna tell, so I'm gonna tell it! Any feedback is appreciated! Fanfic writers are usually living off scraps!
Previous part
The man laughed as he opened the door.
“You're lucky I was in town. By the way, it's nice of you to finally return my calls.”
“I didn't return your call, we just needed a place to stay for the night.”
Bucky gestured you into the hotel room, past the man now scowling at him. He clapped him firmly on the shoulder before brushing past him and following you in.
You're pretty sure you had seen this man in the news over the years as well, but you had to be honest, you didn’t recognize him too well. He certainly didn't get as much coverage as Captain America or Iron Man. 
You sat in the second flimsy chair at the miniature table near the hotel room TV, adjacent from Bucky. The man closed the door, resting his elbows on his knees as he sat down on the bed, facing the two of you. Try as you might, you can't remember his name.
That's okay, you hadn't known Bucky's name either, until he had introduced himself as James Barnes to you, and you turned to Google to fill in the blanks on where he looked familiar from. Come to think of it, he had never introduced himself as Bucky to you. Maybe you should just be calling him James…
“So, you gonna tell me what's going on? Your place compromised or something?”
“Sam, this is my neighbor -” He gestured gently to you, telling him your name. He gestured from you back to Sam. “This is my colleague, Sam.”
“Colleague? C'mon man, would it really kill you to call us friends?”
“Yes.”
Sam let out some sort of guffaw, and leaned forward, extending his hand to you.
“It's good to finally meet the cute neighbor. I'm Sam, Bucky's best friend, even when he doesn't return my calls.” A pointed look towards said best friend.
Your cheeks warmed and you chuckled as you shook his hand. Bucky nodded at you - Sam had called him Bucky, so at least now you felt more comforted that you could as well.
“He's not my best friend.”
“I'm his only friend, pretty sure that automatically makes me the best.” Sam winked.
Bucky rolled his shoulders as he crossed his arms across his chest.
“(Y/N)’s ex is moving out of their apartment tonight, and she needed a place to stay. My place isn't very comfortable and I couldn't think of any furniture stores open this late.”
“Well then, I'm glad you called. His apartment is pretty miserable, right?” You hid a soft laugh behind your hand. “I've been telling him he needed to get some decorations, maybe a couch, a TV! Sounds like it's still boring as hell though?”
“I did throw up on his floor.”
Sam's eyebrows rose as he gave an approving laugh. “Well there you go! That's something! I'm sure his apartment hasn't been so blessed since I gave him that dingy-ass birdhouse!”
You felt a little lighter since leaving Bucky's apartment. A little. The time had given you a little bit of a cushion to get a grasp of your feelings.  The little bit of food you had been able to get down with Sam's encouragement and Bucky's attentive watch had helped a ton as well. Now, as you sat on the floor of the cramper hotel shower, hot water cascading over you, you just felt exhausted.
A soft knock at the door and Bucky gently calling your name. 
“- you ok? You've been in there for an hour.” You could hear Sam's voice in this background, but you couldn't make out what he said. “Right! Not like there’s anything wrong with being in there for an hour! Take all the time you need! I just wanted to check in.”
You brushed the hair that had mopped in front of your eyes back over your forehead and chuckled lightly to yourself. “Yeah, I'm ok, I'll be out in a minute.” 
You shut off the hot water and reached for a clean towel, sighing gratefully at its softness.
Sam had even given you a clean set of clothes, a wife-beater tank and some loose sweat-shorts, the old Avengers logo printen on the left leg just above your knee.
You were used to wearing more modest clothing, but you were grateful for something clean to wear. And honestly, you were grateful for the newness as well, no memories attached at all to the outfit you were wearing or the room you'd be sleeping in. The sentiment made you feel even a little bit lighter.
You took a stabilizing deep breath before you opened the bathroom door back into the main room. You didn't miss the way Sam's eyebrows lifted subtly, or Bucky's face hardened, as you stepped out of the bathroom, steam trailing after you, wisping at your ankles.
You kept your face still as you searched Bucky's eyes. As his eyes searched you. All of you. For the first time ever, you couldn't hide the bruises that littered your whole body - anywhere that your pants or a long sleeve shirt could cover.
“I'm going to kill him.” He growled quietly, but you still heard him.
“No you won't. I'm fine.”
“You sure don't look fine!” Bucky's jaw tightened as Sam spoke.
“I'm fine now. Thanks to you.”
Bucky stood abruptly, flimsy chair clattering to the ground. He stomped to the door, slamming it shut as he disappeared into the cool night.
You smiled wide now, showing off your teeth.
“I am doing so much better now, thanks to you guys! I appreciate it so much!”
You clenched your teeth tighter into your smile as you stepped to pick up the fallen chair.
“I'm sorry about the chair!” A breathy laugh, “Goodness, I should have-”
Sam rushed to you, crouching down and placing a gentle hand on yours. You flinched as he helped you pull the chair up.
“Sorry.” He pulled his hand away as he noticed your discomfort. He took a step back and looked at you earnestly.
“Hey, I know what you're doing, and you don't have to do it. Bucky isn't going to hurt anyone, he’s just a little upset. You're safe here I promise.”
You crossed your arms over your torso, tightening your smile to cover your teeth.
“Sam. I know that, thank you.”
He frowned at you, sighing gently.
“You are safe. I promise. You don't have to manage anyone's reactions anymore.”
Your lips faltered for a moment, but you quickly pulled them back into place. You couldn't, however, control the pricking burn that started to form in the back of your throat.
“Especially, now that Bucky knows what's going on. Your super soldier of a neighbor has a crazy sense of duty in him. He's not going to let anything happen to you.”
“I think I need to throw up -” 
At least your nausea was finally working on your side for this once. Not much came up as you leaned over the toilet, but it got you out of the room with Sam. He didn't come to get you, and you were able to hide in the bathroom for another hour, before you fell asleep, cheek pressed to the tub.

“Operation: Drive Hayden Crazy (With Love)”
Husband! Hayden x Wife Reader (Headcannons)
❤︎ The “The Fuck” Prank
You’re chatting with Hayden in the kitchen about dinner plans.
“I was thinking maybe we could have pasta or— the fuck— roasted chicken?”
Hayden freezes, brows furrowing.
“Uh… did you just—?”
You continue, totally casual. “Yeah, but maybe we can make garlic bread too— the fuck.”
He leans in closer, eyes wide. “Are you okay? Why do you keep—?”
When you finally break and start laughing, he looks so relieved. “Oh my god, you scared me! I thought you were… possessed or something.”
For the next hour, he’ll randomly go, “The fuck?” back at you with a grin.
❤︎ The “Wiping the Kiss” Prank
You’re lounging on the couch, and Hayden leans in for a sweet kiss.
The moment he pulls back, you immediately wipe your mouth with an exaggerated frown.
His face drops. “What—? Did I… do something?”
He tries again, a little gentler. You wipe it again, now looking even more annoyed.
“Okay, no. I’m insulted. Come here.” He’s on top of you, smothering you with rapid kisses
“You can’t escape, sweetheart. No more wiping.”
When you finally confess it was a prank, he huffs. “You’re lucky I love you.”
But for the next few hours, he’ll randomly wipe his own lips dramatically after you kiss him.
❤︎ The “Flashing Him” Prank
You pretend you’re setting up your phone for a TikTok dance in the living room.
Hayden is casually reading in the background, pretending not to watch you, but he’s totally watching.
You suddenly turn around, lift your shirt, and flash him.
His jaw drops, the book falling out of his hands. “Wait—did you—?”
You turn back like nothing happened, doing your fake dance again.
He’s laughing now, getting up,
“Oh, so that’s how we’re playing today?”
He wraps his arms around you from behind, murmuring, “Gonna do that again, or was that a one-time show?”
❤︎ The “Fighting an Invisible Person” Prank
You’re both parked in the drive-thru line, and as you wait, you suddenly whip around to the empty backseat.
“I told you to leave us alone!” you shout, swinging your hand like you’re trying to shove someone away.
Hayden’s eyes go wide, his hand gripping the steering wheel. “Babe?”
You continue, voice panicked. “What’s your problem?! You have no right— let go!” You start thrashing, making it look like you’re being dragged into the backseat.
“HEY!” Hayden unbuckles, spinning in his seat. “Get off her!” He’s already trying to climb over the console, hands out like he’s about to grab this ‘invisible attacker’.
You’re flailing dramatically, your hand smacking him in the face by accident.
“I got you, sweetheart!” He’s in full hero mode. “Hold on!”
Suddenly, you stop, sitting back calmly. “Okay, they’re gone.”
Hayden’s jaw drops. “What… what the hell?”
You burst into laughter, tears in your eyes, and it takes a second for him to realize. He just slumps back in his seat, breathless. “I’m gonna need, like, ten minutes to calm down. Do you want me to have a heart attack?!”
❤︎ The “Salty Soup” Prank
You stir the pot, trying not to laugh as you add an obscene amount of salt. “Babe, can you taste this real quick?”
Hayden wanders over, smiling, and takes a big spoonful. The second the soup hits his tongue, his face twists in pure horror.
“Jesus— are you trying to mummify me?” He’s coughing, rushing to the sink for water.
“Oh, really? You think it needs more salt?” You grab the shaker and start shaking again.
“NO!” He lunges, wrestling the salt from your hand. “Babe, you’re committing a war crime in this kitchen!”
You try to look serious. “I just thought it needed a little more flavor.”
“Flavor? You mean ‘instant dehydration’?” He’s laughing now, but there’s a hint of trauma in his eyes.
❤︎ The “Electrocuted Prank”
You’re in the bathroom, teasing your hair into a wild, frizzy mess, making it look like you stuck a fork in an outlet. A little black eyeshadow smudged on your cheeks gives you that perfect “I-just-got-fried” look. You glance at yourself in the mirror, trying not to laugh.
Perfect.
Taking a deep breath, you step into the kitchen, grab the unplugged toaster, and position yourself just right. Then you scream.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
Hayden’s footsteps are thunderous down the hallway, practically skidding into the kitchen. “What—what’s wrong?!—”
The second he turns the corner, you launch into your act. Your entire body convulses, shaking violently, your mouth open in that same desperate scream. Your eyes are wide, a mix of terror and—barely concealed—laughter.
But you hold it in.
Hayden’s face goes ghost-white. “Oh my god! DROP IT!”
You don’t. You keep shaking, your scream wavering just enough to sound unhinged.
“PUT IT DOWN! LET GO!” He’s rushing forward, then stopping short, waving his hands in a frenzy. “Wait! No—okay, okay, don’t move! Uh—what do I—”
He spins, grabs the closest thing he can find—a spatula. “I-I’ll knock it out of your hands!” But he can’t seem to commit, bouncing from one foot to the other. “No! That’s too violent! Okay, okay, think, Hayden—think!”
You squeeze your eyes shut, trying to keep your expression serious, the scream only growing louder.
“AHHHHHHH!”
“I’m getting a towel!” He lunges for a dish towel, snapping it in the air like he’s going to lasso you. “Okay, just… just stay calm!”
You start to crumble, your lips twitching. He notices. “Wait a minute—”
Your scream turns into a breathless giggle, and the toaster clatters to the counter.
“Y-You—” He’s staring, wide-eyed, breathless. “ARE YOU SERIOUS?!”
You’re doubled over now, clutching your stomach, tears in your eyes. “You should’ve seen yourself!”
“I thought—” He points at the unplugged cord. “I thought you were going to become a human lightning rod!”
Still giggling, you reach out to hug him, but he steps back, hand over his chest. “No. No hugs for you.”
“Oh, come on,” you wheeze, wiping your eyes. “You would’ve saved me.”
“I was about to kick that toaster out of your hands like a football.” His serious face breaks, and he’s laughing now too, rubbing his face. “You are the most evil woman I know.”
You grin, leaning up to kiss him. “But you love me.”
He finally wraps his arms around you, pulling you in. “Oh, I do. But I’m getting you back for this. I’m gonna get you so good you’ll regret ever buying that toaster.”

Behold, my latest and most enamouring new obsession:
Tumblr media
Malina, Lady of the Chief of the Northern Water Tribe. As if Red Lotus child OCs weren’t niche enough
#my art#artists on tumblr#the legend of korra#lok malina#still feel like that’s too vague of a tag but I can’t come up with anything better for now#and yeah. she has completely stolen by heart and I don’t know how to feel about that#don’t think I ever was this attracted to my own art before#to be fair the design isn’t mine. it’s very heavily based on something nina drew back in 2021#because I did not have the energy or creativity to come up with my own thing#but the art is all mine and I genuinely adore it. super proud of myself which is a rare occurrence#anyways. kat and I spent three days digging this niche lower and lower and now have a he#*hell of a lot of lore about this basically nonexistent character#for lore about a lady from the North Pole a lot of it is rather hot… to the point my cheeks are burning non stop#I would say I’d let her do anything she wants to me but in my very specific aroace-adjacent case it’s more like#I’d let her tell me to do anything she wants to her#if that makes any sense and I have not completely lost my goddamn mind yet#okay. enough yapping. back to the art itself#lazy background because I suck at those and am not currently attempting to learn them. I’ll probably do that over the summer#about time anyway. my characters have been placed against an off-white background for far. far too long#this is the first piece in just over a year that isn’t tagged with sotrl. which is kinda weird tbh#I’ve been drawing my OCs almost exclusively for nearly 5 years so it is genuinely surprise I’m branching out#*surprising#less branching out and more diving from one hole into another but y’know#anyway. in my personal and very correct opinion she turned out absolutely gorgeous#her servants are way too lucky and unalaq is way too much of an idiot. no offence to vaatu but he could never beat out this#and I also have Kat’s personal and very correct opinion to back up my own. two against the void. once again we’re winning#I wanna draw her a lot more bc she has completely possessed my brain. I just wish character interactions were easier to draw 😭#I’ll figure it out. just need to fight my visualisation issues for a proper idea. brb#okay I’m almost at the tag limit so. in summary:#she 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

I really want a scene like this in tsc2 where Neil seems to call Jean more often to check up on him and the floozies are perplexed "Why is Josten calling you?" "You guys close or sth?" "You still haven't told us what happened when he whisked you away" "we are worried sick Jean, how can you keep us in the dark?" And then Cat will say sth like "are you not sharing what you're talking to Josten about cause you're embarrassed?" Jeremy being a worried mother hen "is he bothering you?" And Jean keeps shutting everything down telling them not to worry, and then Laila as a joke says "is he flirting with you?"
And Jean responds with "I hope not. I don't think his boyfriend would take it well"
Everyone immediately stops what they are doing. "Im sorry, his WHAT?"
All hell breaks lose. Cat is shaking Laila "Josten is FRUITY?!", Jeremy is like "He has a boyfriend?" Laila being like "in the year that he joined the foxes and almost died in the hands of his serial killer dad, he got a boyfriend??? How???" And then Cat and Laila start asking questions, Jeremy trying to calm them down but also being curious, Jean is like "Well he's not told me explicitly, but it's obvious."
Jeremy having an epiphany "oh my god. Is it Kevin?" Cat in the background "oh please let it be Kevin" Jean says no, "Kevin is too much of a coward", the floozies are looking at each other like "oh we are definitely unpacking THAT at some point". And then they're like okay, well maybe the boyfriend is not on the team. But Jean confirms, it's a fox, i can tell u who it is-' "NO! We need to figure this one out!" "Let our gaydar do the work Jean we got things to prove!" Jean tiredly: "to who?"
So they start guessing, oh Hemmick is undeniably fruity, Jean is like "I don't even know who that is. Oh, backliner? No, not him". "Maybe it's Boyd?!" Cat being like "Escandalo! Cause he's with the captain right? Wilds?" Laila commenting "He'd be out of his mind to pass on that, and this is the educated opinion of a lesbian", Jean is like "how come u guys know all their names?" Jeremy says "they are a small team and it's hard not to keep tabs on them when they are in the news cycle every week or so"
"Guys we're losing track, keep your heads locked in! Who could be Josten's boyfriend, that tonight's pressing question!" "But there's no one else... wait, is he with the other backliner? Short blonde?" "I'm gonna be honest, I don't get queer vibes from him" "Lol can u imagine it's actually the goalkeeper twin" "what the one that went to juvie and looks like hes one step away from biting our heads off on the court? Nahh". Jean looks at an invisible camera like he's in the office.
And then something happens and they forget about it, until like the winter banquet or some shit and Cat is intently looking at Neil trying to decipher who his boyfriend could be, maybe he is in a throuple with Wilds and Boyd? Jean is like "Why are you looking at the foxes' table so intently?" "It's investigative work, don't worry about it" and then Neil comes over and takes Jean away at the open bar to talk about sth, the floozies are pretending to not be looking at them. Neil notices and he's like "I see they taken claim already." Jean responds with "It's not what u think" and they talk, Andrew probably gets bored at some point and goes to Neil, puts a single hand on his lower back and Jean being able to hear commotion in the Trojans table turns to see them acting like "normal", except their poses look rehearsed, there's drinks that have been spilled on the table and Cat is drinking from an empty glass looking at the sky.

serendipity —
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing : spider-man!jake x gn!reader
summary : a late night studying session with shinyu results in a weird stalker following you home… but wait, he’s webbed to the wall..? by… SPIDER-MAN? what’s even weirder is that you find yourself running yourself running into the hero more often and begin to see some similarities with… jake sim?
warnings : FLUFF, very very oblivious reader, jake is SUCH a loser here (i crave a loser bf guys… he’s just a nerd), jake is popular, shinyu as a friend of the reader
a/n : omg everyone thank @writhyv for getting me back to writing for jake ! ALSO for getting me to write a hot loser jake (i love it very much) GIFT FOR HIM !! thank u pook ilysm.
queueing… : serendipity - laufey, sweet - cigarettes after sex, safety zone - leehi, blue - kai (not yung kai)
— wc : 7.5k — not proof read —
jake sim is the kind of guy who could ruin your entire life without even trying.
he’s the hottest person you’ve ever seen in real life. like, actually hot. perfect hair, perfect smile, broad shoulders under whatever hoodie he always throws on like he didn't just accidentally win the genetic lottery. he’s popular in the way that feels effortless, always surrounded by people who seem to orbit around him like he’s some kind of sun.
the whole school loves him. teachers, athletes, the kids who sit in the back of class and never talk. jake sim could probably trip and faceplant in the middle of the hallway and people would still clap for him.
the only weird part is that he’s also… kind of a loser.
you don’t really know him, just know of him. he’s in a few of your classes, close enough to be a familiar face but not close enough for either of you to actually talk. if anything, he’s just background noise in your life, one of those people who exists on the edge of your universe without ever really crossing into it.
except sometimes, every now and then, you feel like he’s acting a little… strange around you.
not that you think too hard about it. probably nothing.
the first time it happens, you don’t even clock it as anything weird.
it’s in english class, some group discussion where nobody’s actually talking, just pretending to think really hard about the book none of you actually read. you’re flipping through the pages when you feel someone staring.
you glance up, and there he is. jake sim.
he’s sitting diagonally across from you, elbow propped on the desk, eyes locked on you like he’s trying to figure out the meaning of life or something.
you blink at him.
he blinks back.
and then, like he just got caught committing a crime, he whips his head down, pretending to scribble something in his notebook with the intensity of someone writing their final will and testament.
...okay. weird, but whatever.
the second time, it’s in the hallway between classes.
you're digging through your locker, minding your own business, when you hear someone clear their throat behind you.
“uh—hi.”
you turn around.
jake sim is standing there, clutching his textbook like it's a lifeline. up close, he's even hotter, sleeves pushed up to his elbows, hair falling into his eyes.
he's also… kind of red in the face?
“hey?” you offer, confused.
he opens his mouth like he’s about to say something, then immediately shuts it again.
“never mind,” he mutters, spinning on his heel and walking away so fast you'd think the hallway was on fire.
...what the hell was that?
it keeps happening.
little moments that should probably add up to something if you actually paid attention, but you don’t, because jake sim is jake sim, and you’re just you.
he stumbles over his words when you ask to borrow a pencil. drops his entire water bottle when you accidentally brush past him in class. one time, you catch him fully tripping over absolutely nothing when you make eye contact with him across the cafeteria.
but for some reason, your brain just files it all away under wow, popular guys are weird sometimes and moves on.
if anyone ever asked you what you think of jake sim, you’d probably just shrug and say he’s nice.
you don't know that he’s been in love with you since sophomore year.
you don't know that every time he tries to talk to you, his brain completely shuts down.
and you definitely don’t know that the same guy who turns into a stammering mess around you spends his nights swinging across the city, cracking jokes and saving people as if confidence is something that comes built into the suit.
the third time you actually talk to him is in chemistry class.
the teacher pairs you up for some experiment, something involving measurements and burning stuff, and jake ends up at your table, tapping his pen against the notebook like he’s trying to act casual.
"can you pass me the beaker?" you ask.
he freezes.
his eyes flick to the beaker, then to you, then back to the beaker like it's a bomb he’s been assigned to defuse.
"...yeah," he says, voice cracking on the single syllable.
you don’t think anything of it, just reach for the beaker when he hands it over. your fingers brush against his, and he drops it.
it clatters against the table, rolling onto the floor with a loud clink.
"oh."
jake looks like he wants to melt through the floor.
"it's fine," you say, bending down to grab it. “at least it didn’t break” you joke to lighten to mood.
he doesn't move, just sits there gripping the edge of the table like it’s the only thing keeping him tethered to the earth.
you offer him a small smile when you straighten up, placing the beaker back on the table.
"chill," you joke. "it's not that serious."
jake visibly short-circuits.
"chill," he echoes, like it's the first time he's ever heard the word in his life.
if someone told you jake sim had a crush on you, you’d probably laugh.
guys like him don’t go for people like you.
guys like him date cheerleaders or instagram models or the kind of girls who know exactly how to flip their hair and laugh in that effortless, pretty way.
not people who half-ass their homework and accidentally fall asleep during history lectures.
definitely not people who would rather have deep conversations on rooftops than go to parties.
but what you don’t know is that those are all the exact reasons jake likes you.
he likes the way you always stick your tongue out a little when you’re concentrating. he likes how you always hum to yourself when you think nobody’s listening. he likes how you talk to everyone the same, never acting like anybody’s above or below you.
he likes you.
and it’s ruining his life.
"do you think jake sim is... weird?"
shinyu raises an eyebrow. "weird how?"
you frown, trying to find the right words.
"i don’t know. like... awkward? around me?"
he snorts. "he's awkward around everyone."
"not really."
shinyu pauses, eyes narrowing like he’s finally catching onto something you've been missing this whole time.
"...wait." he leans in. "do you seriously not realize he's into you?"
you blink.
"what?"
"oh my god." he gape at you like you're the dumbest person alive. "he's had a crush on you since, like, forever."
you genuinely laugh at that, because there's no way.
right?
meanwhile, across the cafeteria, jake sim is currently choking on his water because he saw you glance in his direction for half a second.
sunghoon pats his back, looking vaguely concerned.
"bro, you have superpowers, but you can't even talk to your crush?"
jake coughs harder. he’s so, so doomed.
you don’t try to stay out late. it just happens.
sometimes it’s because you lose track of time, caught up in the city’s glow. sometimes it’s because you’re walking home after a long study session, brain fried from trying to shove too much information into it at once.
tonight, it’s the latter.
shinyu yawns next to you, stretching his arms over his head as you both step out of the library. “i swear, if i have to look at one more page of notes, i’m throwing my entire textbook into the river.”
“you say that every time,” you point out.
“and one of these days, i’ll actually do it.”
you snort, tugging your hoodie closer around you. it’s late enough that the streets are quieter than usual, the hum of distant traffic the only real sound. most of the shops have already shut down, save for the 24-hour convenience store at the corner.
shinyu pulls out his phone. “should i call a cab?”
“nah,” you shake your head. “i’ll just walk.”
he frowns. “are you sure? it’s kinda late.”
“i always do this. i’ll be fine.”
he hesitates, clearly debating whether or not to argue, but eventually sighs. “alright. text me when you get home, though.”
“yes, mom.”
he rolls his eyes, flicking your forehead before heading off in the opposite direction.
you stuff your hands into your pockets and start walking.
your route home is familiar, same streets, same flickering streetlights, same little shop windows reflecting the glow of the city back at you. you don’t feel unsafe. if anything, you like walking at night. there’s something peaceful about it, something that makes the world feel a little softer around the edges.
but then—
you hear footsteps behind you.
at first, you don’t think much of it. there are always other people out and about. but as you keep walking, the sound stays steady, just far enough behind that you can’t tell if it’s a coincidence or something else.
your stomach twists. ‘who the fuck is walking around the same route as you at 2am..?’ you think to yourself.
you glance over your shoulder.
a man. mid-thirties, maybe. hood pulled up over his head.
the moment your eyes meet, he quickly looks away, pretending to check his phone.
your heart beats a little faster. you’re probably overreacting.
but then you turn the corner, and the footsteps turn with you.
you pick up your pace.
so do they.
your chest tightens. okay. okay. you’re not imagining it.
you scan the street for other people, but it’s mostly empty. the nearest open shop is too far ahead, and the alley you just passed is—
wait.
your stomach drops.
you didn’t even hear him move, but suddenly, he’s not behind you anymore.
he’s right there.
you barely have time to react before he grabs your wrist, grip too tight, breath too close. “hey—”
before you can even think to scream, something flies past you—fast, sharp.
and suddenly, the man is yanked backwards.
one second he’s gripping you, the next he’s pinned to the alley wall, struggling against thick strands of white webbing wrapped tight around his torso.
your breath catches in your throat.
what.
your brain barely has time to process it before—
“hey,” a voice calls.
you turn, heart still pounding.
and standing there, perched casually on the edge of a lamppost, is spider-man.
your mouth goes dry.
he hops down, landing lightly on the pavement, head tilting slightly as he glances at the guy still stuck to the wall. “yeah, i don’t think so,” he says.
the guy grunts, struggling uselessly against the webbing.
spider-man sighs. “not your best move.”
you just stare.
you know who he is, obviously. everyone does. but knowing about spider-man and actually seeing him in front of you are two entirely different things.
he turns to you. “you alright?”
you blink at him, mind still catching up. “uh.”
he tilts his head. “i’ll take that as a yes?”
“y-yeah,” you stammer, clearing your throat. “yeah. i’m fine.”
“good.” he gestures vaguely toward the guy. “i’ll leave him here for the cops. but, uh—maybe don’t walk alone this late?”
you exhale sharply. “yeah. got it. solid advice.”
spider-man lets out a soft chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck.
for some reason, that tiny, almost shy gesture is what actually makes your brain start working again.
because up until now, he seemed untouchable, fast, sharp, the kind of person who moves like he already knows the next ten steps ahead. but now, standing here, he’s shifting his weight slightly like he’s not sure what to do with his hands.
and for some reason, that makes him feel real.
“do you, uh,” he starts, then hesitates. “want me to walk you home?”
your stomach flips.
“oh,” you say. “you don’t have to—”
“i don’t mind,” he says quickly. “just to make sure you get there safe.”
you bite your lip. you really should say no. he’s probably busy, and you don’t want to take up more of his time.
but also.
spider-man just offered to walk you home.
what kind of idiot would turn that down?
“…okay,” you say finally.
you can hear the smile in his voice. “okay.”
when you finally get home, he hangs back by the streetlight, watching as you unlock the door.
“thanks again,” you say, turning back to him.
he nods. “anytime.”
you hesitate.
“…do you do handshakes?”
he lets out a soft laugh. “not usually.”
“oh.” you lower your hand, a little embarrassed.
but before you can pull it back completely, he reaches out and bumps his knuckles against yours.
it’s such a small thing. so stupidly small.
but for some reason, it makes your heart stutter.
you glance up at him, but he’s already moving, gripping the edge of the nearest rooftop, hoisting himself up with an easy strength that makes your stomach flip.
and then, just before he disappears—
“goodnight,” he says.
your breath catches.
and then he’s gone.
you collapse onto your bed the second you get inside, phone buzzing with a text from shinyu.
shinyu: you home yet? you: yeah shinyu: good
you hover over the keyboard for a second, debating.
and then—
you: hey. what do you think of spider-man?
his reply is instant.
shinyu: idk. kinda cool? you: ...yeah.
you stare at the screen. your heart is still racing.
and for some reason, all you can hear is his voice.
stupid voice with that stupid accent you recognize but look over.
it’s become a thing now.
you didn’t plan for it, but somehow it has.
spider-man keeps showing up.
at first, it’s just the occasional late-night save, that charming but awkward conversation at the end where you thank him profusely and he gives you a weird little knuckle bump before disappearing into the night.
but then...
you start seeing him more.
you start to notice that he seems to be where you are, just when you need him.
it happens AGAIN one night when you’re walking home after another late study session with shinyu.
you’re tired. drained. your brain feels like mush, and shinyu, though he’s usually the one full of energy, seems to be on the same wavelength.
"i swear," he mutters, "if i see one more page of equations, i’m going to just… yeet this textbook into the nearest river."
you snort, nudging him. "don’t tempt me. i’m kind of considering it myself."
you both chuckle, but it's tired. the kind of tired where you can’t even muster the energy to fake your usual enthusiasm.
the streets are quiet again, just the sound of your footsteps echoing in the night.
and, as usual, that familiar feeling creeps in, like you’re being watched.
you brush it off. it’s probably just a shadow, the way the streetlights flicker and make things seem closer than they are.
but then, in the distance, a small rustle.
you freeze for a second, but quickly continue walking, convincing yourself it’s nothing.
you turn another corner, and then, there he is.
spider-man.
you blink, more than a little surprised.
“oh, hey,” you say, trying to act casual. "what's up?"
he’s leaning against the side of a building, arms crossed, but when you notice the way he’s watching you, you can’t shake the feeling that maybe he’s been here for a while.
he straightens, suddenly looking a bit... embarrassed? "uh, nothing much. just making sure you're alright."
you blink, a little confused. "i’m fine? why wouldn’t i be?"
he gives a small shrug, like it’s no big deal. "you know, just being careful. you’re walking kinda late, and i’m... well, i’m always around."
you raise an eyebrow. "you just 'happen' to be around whenever i'm out late?"
he looks sheepish. "yep."
you stare at him for a second.
“are you stalking me?” you joke, but it comes out a little too serious.
his eyes widen, and he starts shaking his head quickly, scratching at the back of his neck. "no! no, of course not. just... making sure you're safe, y’know?"
you chuckle softly, rolling your eyes. "right. sure."
he seems to relax when you don’t push it further. “anyway, i could walk you home if you want. just in case, you know?”
you shrug. it’s not like you mind. "okay, but only because you’re weirdly persistent."
he grins, clearly relieved. "wouldn’t dream of letting you walk alone."
it’s an awkward, quiet walk. mostly because spider-man doesn’t seem to know how to start a normal conversation. his silence is comfortable, though, like there’s no need to fill the space. just walking with him feels nice.
by the time you’re at your front door, you’re laughing over something dumb that shinyu had said earlier. you feel strangely at ease.
"thanks for walking me home," you say.
he shrugs. “it’s nothing. just doing my part.”
you smile, heart skipping a beat. "goodnight, spider-man."
"goodnight," he replies, his voice soft. then, as usual, he’s gone before you can say anything else.
the routine builds quickly after that.
it becomes normal to see him around whenever you’re out at night.
he always seems to be around, sometimes just dropping in for a casual chat, other times swooping in to rescue you from the occasional shady character or two.
but it’s the quiet moments you start to cherish.
there’s one night where you and shinyu are hanging out on the rooftop of your building, talking about life as you always do. the sky is clear, the stars twinkling, and it feels like a moment frozen in time.
shinyu is sprawled across the floor, pretending to sleep, while you’re sitting with your legs dangling over the edge, arms resting on your knees.
“so,” he says suddenly, breaking the silence. “what’s the deal with spider-man, anyway? you two talk a lot now.”
you freeze for a second, eyes narrowing. “what do you mean ‘talk a lot?’”
he raises his hands in mock surrender. “i’m just saying. you two have some weird dynamic. are you, like, dating or something?”
you laugh it off. “what? no! it’s just... he’s, uh, nice. i don’t know, he’s just been around when i’ve needed him, that’s all.”
shinyu sits up, raising an eyebrow. “oh, really? just ‘happens’ to be there. that’s cute.”
you roll your eyes. “he’s cool, okay?”
he gives you a knowing look. “if you say so.”
before you can respond, you hear the familiar sound of whoosh above you.
spider-man drops down onto the roof, landing lightly beside you with an easy smile.
“hey, guys,” he says casually, like he hasn’t just flown in to join the conversation.
you smile at him, your heart fluttering a little. “hey, spider-man.”
shinyu squints at him, grinning. “so, we’re just hanging out, huh? that’s cool. do you want anything to drink?”
spider-man looks at him in confusion. “huh?”
“i mean, you’re here now. should we get drinks?” shinyu gestures to the corner store below. “i’ll go down and grab something. you want anything?”
spider-man glances at you first, and then back at shinyu, his expression unreadable for a moment.
“uh, sure,” he says, his voice a little uncertain. “i’ll just have whatever you’re getting.”
shinyu gives a little nod before standing up and heading down the stairs to the convenience store.
you and spider-man are left alone again.
the air feels different this time, like the space between you has changed. you both sit there in silence for a moment.
he clears his throat. “so, uh... how’s the studying going?”
you laugh softly. “honestly? i want to burn my textbooks.”
he chuckles. “yeah, i get that. same.”
you glance at him, curious. “you study too?”
he shrugs, looking awkward. “well... when i’m not being, you know, spider-man. i try to keep up.”
you nod, smiling. “cool. you seem smart.”
he looks away, rubbing the back of his neck. “yeah, well, it’s all kind of a... blur, y’know?”
you laugh again. "yeah, i know exactly what you mean."
and suddenly, you realize something.
you’re actually... comfortable with him.
not just the whole superhero thing, not just the awkwardness, but the person behind it. you don’t need to be on edge around him.
and somehow, that makes you feel both lighter and a little strange.
later, shinyu returns with drinks, and the conversation picks up again. spider-man relaxes a little more, though he still seems a bit fidgety.
you can’t help but notice how, even now, when he’s around shinyu, he still doesn’t seem to know how to act. there’s an ease to his awkwardness that’s almost endearing.
shinyu teases him a little, asking if he’s ever had to take his suit off after a long night of “saving people” and spider-man just shrugs awkwardly, mumbling something about the suit being “perfectly breathable” as if that’s the most casual thing in the world.
it’s a weird dynamic, but it works.
and for the first time in a long time, you don’t feel quite so... lonely.
when it’s time to leave, spider-man walks you home again, which is literally downstairs.
you’re still laughing from something shinyu said, but when you glance over at spider-man, you notice him looking at you more seriously than usual.
“you okay?” you ask, surprised by the shift in his mood.
“yeah,” he replies, his voice quiet. “just... it’s nothing. just wanted to check on you.”
you smile softly. “you do that a lot.”
he shrugs. “it’s my job, right?”
and even though he says that, you can see the hint of something more. something deeper.
you’re not sure what it is, but you feel it.
you smile to yourself, wondering if maybe you’re starting to understand him a little better.
when you get to your front door, you wave goodbye, but this time, he doesn’t leave immediately.
he lingers.
“goodnight, spider-man,” you say quietly.
“goodnight.”
he’s gone before you can blink.
and you can’t help but feel like there’s something he’s not saying. something important.
you’re at school, sitting with shinyu during lunch, lazily picking at your food as the two of you chat about the usual, homework, annoying teachers, and how much you’d rather be anywhere else.
and then, somehow, the conversation lands on him.
"so, spider-man," shinyu says, taking a sip of his drink. "you never really told me. what’s the deal with that?"
you blink, caught off guard. "what do you mean?"
shinyu shrugs. "i mean, you guys talk a lot. what’s he like?"
you pause, considering it. "well... he’s nice. kind of awkward, but in a cute way. and, i don’t know, i feel like i can actually talk to him, you know?"
shinyu raises an eyebrow, clearly amused. "so you like talking to him."
"obviously," you say, rolling your eyes. "he’s funny, easy to be around, and—"
you pause for half a second.
shinyu waits.
"... and?"
you shrug, acting like what you’re about to say is no big deal. "and he’s kinda hot."
it happens instantly.
a loud choking sound from the table next to you.
you both turn your heads.
jake sim, golden boy of the school, is currently dying.
he’s hunched over, violently coughing, his drink abandoned as he tries to catch his breath. his friends, some of the other popular kids, are just watching him, either concerned or mildly entertained.
"bro, what is wrong with you?" one of them asks, patting jake on the back.
jake wheezes.
you stare at him, blinking. "... you good?"
he looks up at you, eyes wide, mouth slightly open like he just realized he made a scene.
"uh—yeah! yes! i’m fine!" he blurts out, too loudly.
you and shinyu exchange a look.
"uh-huh," you say, unconvinced.
jake quickly grabs his drink again, pretending like nothing happened, but you can see it, how his ears are red, how he’s suddenly so focused on stirring his drink with his straw like it’s the most interesting thing in the world.
weird.
shinyu, being shinyu, decides to push it.
"wait, you were listening to us?" he says, grinning.
"no!" jake says, way too fast. "i wasn’t listening! i just— i mean— i heard something, but it wasn’t on purpose—"
he stops himself, as if realizing he’s making it worse.
you stare at him, trying to figure out what his deal is.
jake sim is, objectively, very attractive. everyone at school knows it. he’s the kind of guy who could probably get away with murder just by looking at someone the right way.
but right now?
right now, he looks like a glitching NPC.
shinyu smirks. "so, which part made you choke? the part where spider-man is easy to talk to, or the part where he’s hot?"
jake makes a strangled sound, like he just swallowed his soul.
"i—" he starts, then stops, looking deeply uncomfortable.
you narrow your eyes at him.
"wait," you say suddenly, realization hitting. "do you know spider-man?"
jake freezes.
his eyes dart around the table, as if searching for an escape route.
"i—uh—no?" he tries, but it sounds more like a question than an answer.
"that was very convincing," you deadpan.
"thank you," he says automatically. then, realizing what he just did, he groans and drags a hand down his face.
you just stare at him.
what is up with this guy?
shinyu snickers. "dude, you’re acting real suspicious right now."
"i am not," jake says, still looking very much suspicious.
you and shinyu both just keep staring at him.
jake, unable to handle the attention, suddenly stands up. "gotta go!" he announces, grabbing his tray and practically sprinting away from the table.
... what.
you blink. "okay, what was that?"
shinyu just laughs. "no clue, but that was hilarious."
you shake your head, still baffled.
jake sim is weird.
that night, like clockwork, spider-man appears.
you’re outside, walking back from the convenience store, a bag of snacks in your hand when you hear the familiar thwip of a web.
you don’t even flinch anymore.
“oh, hey,” you say as he lands beside you. "you’re early tonight."
spider-man, who seems slightly fidgety for some reason, clears his throat. "uh, yeah. just happened to be around."
you nod. "right. as always."
there’s a beat of silence as the two of you start walking.
then, spider-man casually goes, "sooo... you think i’m hot?"
you freeze mid-step.
"what—"
he panics immediately. "i mean—! not that i heard you say that or anything, but like— well, let’s say hypothetically you did say that, and hypothetically i overheard—"
you narrow your eyes. "did you overhear?"
he hesitates for a full second before blurting, "no!"
"uh-huh."
he coughs. "but if you did think that— i mean, just out of curiosity, uh... what part exactly were you talking about?"
you stare at him.
he shifts, looking way too eager but also like he might die on the spot.
you decide to mess with him.
"i dunno," you say, pretending to think. "maybe the mask? keeps things mysterious."
"mysterious," he echoes.
"or maybe the whole... ‘hero of the city’ thing," you continue. "kind of hard not to find that attractive."
"oh," he says weakly.
you glance at him.
his shoulders are tense. he’s definitely blushing. even through the mask, you can tell.
you bite back a grin. "why do you ask, spider-man? you interested in what i think?"
"wh—no! i mean— i guess? maybe? i just—" he stops mid-sentence, suddenly frustrated with himself.
you laugh. "wow. you get flustered really easily."
"i do not," he lies.
you grin.
he’s so bad at this.
but... it’s kind of cute.
he clears his throat, clearly desperate to change the subject. "so! um! anyway! totally unrelated question—"
"uh-huh?"
"—but, like... have you ever thought that maybe you already know me?"
you blink. "what?"
he shrugs, trying to sound casual. "i mean, like, what if i wasn’t just spider-man? what if i was, i dunno... someone you see every day?"
you frown, confused.
"... but you’re not," you say simply. "i’d recognize your voice."
spider-man pauses.
"oh," he says.
like he just remembered that’s a thing.
you keep walking, completely missing the way his entire body slumps.
"why?" you ask, glancing at him. "are you secretly my math teacher or something?"
he lets out a weird, awkward laugh. "pfft. no! definitely not. that’d be, um. weird."
you snort. "right... mr. lee..?"
spider-man sighs, clearly realizing this isn’t going anywhere. "never mind," he mutters.
you just shrug. "okay. anyway, are we getting snacks or what?"
he perks up instantly. "yes! let’s do that."
he’s back to normal.
but inside, jake sim is screaming.
when you get home, you fall onto your bed, thinking about the conversation you just had.
weird.
he was acting weird.
but it’s probably nothing.
meanwhile, somewhere across the city, jake is lying face down on his bed, aggressively kicking his feet like a teenage girl in a romcom, absolutely mortified.
his friends are still roasting him for what happened at lunch.
he’s never going to live this down.
rooftops are underrated.
shinyu agrees.
“this is the best place to complain about life,” he says, stretching out on the rooftop ledge. “no teachers, no school stress, just the city and the stars.”
“and potential death if you slip,” you point out.
“adds to the thrill.”
you laugh, taking a deep breath as the cool night air brushes against your skin. it’s peaceful up here, the hum of the city below feeling distant, almost like background noise.
this is your favorite part of the night, escaping the weight of the day, letting yourself exist without expectations.
shinyu, lounging beside you, throws a crumpled snack wrapper at you. “so. be honest. do you think mr. lee is actually grading our essays or just randomly handing out scores?”
“random,” you say immediately. “there’s no way he read mine. i wrote a whole paragraph about how pigeons should have jobs and still got an A.”
shinyu nearly chokes on his drink. “what?”
“i was sleep-deprived, okay?”
“bro.”
you grin, nudging his shoulder. shinyu’s dramatic laughter echoes in the open air, and for a second, it feels like nothing else matters.
but then—
thwip.
a familiar sound.
you don’t even flinch.
shinyu, however, does. “bro,” he says, staring at the figure that just landed on the rooftop. “your weird little superhero friend is here again.”
spider-man straightens up. “hey,” he says, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his hoodie over his suit.
“oh, great,” shinyu mutters. “now i have to third-wheel whatever this weird thing is.”
you roll your eyes. “it’s not weird.”
spider-man, beside you, shifts. “wait. what’s not weird?”
shinyu smirks. “you and them.”
spider-man nearly trips over his own feet. “what?”
you laugh. “ignore him, he’s just being annoying.”
“i’m just saying,” shinyu teases, standing up and stretching, “i feel like a chaperone. anyway, i’m heading home before mr. lee assigns another test. try not to die.”
you wave him off, watching as he climbs down the fire escape.
the second he’s gone, spider-man sighs dramatically. “your friend is kind of scary.”
“he’d love to hear that.”
he chuckles, shaking his head. “so. you just hang out on rooftops for fun?”
“why not?” you shrug. “it’s peaceful. no school, no responsibilities, no—”
you shift slightly on the ledge—
and your foot slips.
for a split second, your stomach drops.
but before you can even process it—
strong hands grab your waist, pulling you back to safety.
your breath catches.
you don’t even have time to think before you’re pressed against him, his hands still firmly holding you, your faces way too close.
your brain short-circuits.
spider-man tenses.
his mask hides his expression, but you can feel the shift, the sudden awareness of just how close you are.
your hands are gripping his arms, his hands are still on your waist, and for a moment, neither of you move.
the air is thick.
his breathing is a little uneven.
he’s calm on the outside, but inside?
jake sim is losing his mind.
because oh my god.
he is touching you.
holding you.
you’re close enough that he can see every little detail, the way your lips part slightly in surprise, the way your eyes flicker down for a second before meeting his again.
he’s panicking.
but he cannot show it.
so he clears his throat, trying to sound casual. “you, uh. good?”
you blink, snapping out of it.
“oh. yeah. thanks for—” you gesture vaguely, still hyper-aware of his hands.
spider-man nods, though his brain is still buffering.
he should move.
but his hands don’t move.
why aren’t they moving?
he’s gripping your waist like you’re going to fall again, like he has to keep holding on, and it takes everything in him to not scream.
you tilt your head.
“... you okay?”
"me? oh! yeah! totally fine! absolutely not freaking out or anything!”
you squint at him.
"... you sure?"
"yep! totally! one hundred percent normal behavior happening right now!"
he still hasn’t let go.
you raise an eyebrow.
he realizes he still hasn’t let go.
"oh! right! my bad!"
he snatches his hands away like he just touched fire, stumbling back a step.
you blink at him.
he looks like he just had an out-of-body experience.
"... you’re acting weird," you say.
"no, i’m not!" he says, voice cracking.
you stare at him for another second before shrugging. "okay."
you sit back down like nothing happened.
spider-man stands there, physically trying to reboot.
the next day at school, jake sim is a mess.
he is so weird about it.
you don’t even notice at first, too busy going about your day, but then, little things start adding up.
like how he keeps running into walls.
or how he drops his books every time you walk by.
or how, when you pass him in the hallway, he does a 180-degree spin and walks the other direction like he just forgot where he was going.
it’s like he has no motor skills around you.
and the worst part?
everyone notices.
"bro, what is your deal?" one of his friends asks after jake nearly trips over thin air.
jake just groans, aggressively rubbing his face. "i don’t wanna talk about it."
his friends exchange a look.
"you’ve been acting weird since yesterday," one of them says. "what happened?"
"nothing!"
"are you sure?"
"yes!" jake says, too fast. "i’m totally fine! absolutely normal! definitely not thinking about anything that happened on a rooftop last night!"
his friends blink.
"... what?"
jake.exe has stopped working.
"i gotta go," he says, shoving his books into his bag and sprinting away before they can ask any more questions.
meanwhile, you, completely oblivious to his entire breakdown, sit down with shinyu at lunch, happily eating your food.
"hey," shinyu says, nudging you. "you notice how jake’s been acting extra weird today?"
you pause mid-bite. "huh?"
"he keeps running into things. i think you broke him."
"... what did i do?"
shinyu shrugs. "no clue. but it’s hilarious."
you glance across the cafeteria.
jake is at his table, looking stressed.
you don’t think much of it.
meanwhile, jake is sitting there, gripping his drink, replaying last night’s moment in his head like a broken record, absolutely suffering.
there’s something weird about jake sim.
not in an obvious way, he’s still the school’s golden boy, still effortlessly good-looking, still surrounded by people who seem drawn to him like he has his own gravitational pull.
but ever since you started talking to spider-man, something feels... off.
and the more you think about it, the more you realize...
jake and spider-man are kind of similar.
not in every way, obviously.
spider-man is cool in a nerdy, awkward way. jake is just awkward.
spider-man is confident until he’s flustered. jake is flustered until he’s more flustered.
but there are little things. things that stick in your mind and refuse to leave.
the way they both stutter when they’re flustered.
the way they both react too strongly when you mention something embarrassing.
the way spider-man somehow always reacts to things you say about jake sim a little too specifically.
you wouldn’t normally care.
except now you do so you decide to test him.
the opportunity presents itself in the middle of lunch.
shinyu is ranting about his math teacher, and you’re half-listening, half-watching as jake sits at his usual table across the cafeteria.
he looks tired.
his friends are talking, but he’s zoned out, poking at his food with a fork like it personally offended him.
for once, no one is paying attention to him.
so you turn to shinyu and casually say,
"hey. you ever think jake sim is kinda... spider-man-y?"
shinyu blinks. "what."
you shrug. "just saying. they kinda act the same sometimes."
"what kind of reach—"
you don’t get to respond.
because across the cafeteria, jake, mid-bite into his sandwich, freezes.
like, completely.
his jaw locks, his eyes widen slightly, and for a second, he just sits there, bread still between his teeth, looking like he’s buffering.
it’s only when one of his friends elbows him that he starts moving again, slowly, mechanically, chewing like he suddenly forgot how food works.
you watch this unfold with mild amusement.
shinyu squints. "okay, that was weird."
"right?"
you decide to take it further.
"also, if you really think about it, their voices are kind of similar," you add, casually sipping your drink.
jake, still trying to recover from his sandwich malfunction, visibly flinches.
his friend frowns. "dude, are you good?"
"mhm!" jake squeaks, before quickly stuffing more food into his mouth to avoid talking.
his ears are so red.
shinyu glances between you and him. "...did you just break jake sim?"
"interesting," you say, watching as jake forces himself to act normal, failing spectacularly.
very suspicious.
that night, spider-man shows up like always.
you’re sitting on your usual rooftop spot, legs dangling over the edge.
he lands beside you, slightly out of breath.
you tilt your head. “you good?”
"yep!" he says. "totally! just... busy day."
you hum.
"...sooo," you start, watching him closely, "something really funny happened today."
spider-man tenses. "oh? uh. what?"
you grin. "i was talking to shinyu about how jake sim kinda reminds me of you."
he flinches.
"oh?"
"yeah," you say, leaning in slightly. "you both get flustered really easily."
"what? no, i don’t!"
you raise an eyebrow. "you’re literally flustered right now."
"no, i’m not!"
you squint.
he shifts uncomfortably.
"also," you continue, "you have the same little mannerisms sometimes. like how you rub the back of your neck when you’re nervous."
his hand immediately drops from the back of his neck.
you stare.
he stares back.
"...okay, that was suspicious."
"what was?"
"that!"
"what?"
"you just—" you gesture vaguely. "you’re acting weird."
"i’m always weird!"
"true," you admit.
he sighs in relief.
but you’re not done.
"also, your voice kinda sounds like his."
"what?!"
"just a little," you say, watching him panic. "not enough for most people to notice, but still."
"n-no it doesn’t!"
"you sure?"
"positive!"
you hum.
"you definitely don’t have anything you wanna tell me?"
"nope! nothing at all! absolutely nothing weird happening here!*"
you squint.
he is sweating.
interesting.
jake sim has fought criminals, dodged gunfire, and swung through the city at terrifying speeds—
but this is the most nerve-wracking thing he’s ever done.
because tonight, he’s going to tell you.
he’s going to take off the mask, look you in the eye, and say it, 'i’m spider-man. i’m also jake sim. and i like you. a lot.'
he’s been rehearsing it in his head for days.
except now that he’s actually standing on the rooftop where you usually meet, waiting for you, his brain is short-circuiting.
what if you get mad? what if you feel betrayed? what if you never want to talk to him again?
he groans into his hands. this was a terrible idea.
but he can’t back out now.
not when he hears footsteps coming up the fire escape.
his heart nearly leaps out of his chest.
okay, okay. just act normal. wait, no—don't act normal, you’re always awkward. act... slightly less awkward. you can do this. you got this.
he takes a deep breath.
the door creaks open.
he turns around, already preparing himself—
and then immediately panics because—
oh god. that’s not you. that’s shinyu.
shinyu blinks. “oh.”
jake freezes.
shinyu squints. “what are you doing here?”
"nothing!" spider-man blurts out. "just—y’know. being spider-man. normal superhero things. ha ha."
shinyu looks so unimpressed. "right."
jake is internally screaming. where are you?? why is shinyu here instead?? he was so ready.
shinyu leans against the rooftop railing, arms crossed. "so. waiting for someone?"
spider-man stiffens. "uh—no! no, just... hanging out."
shinyu hums.
spider-man shifts uncomfortably.
there's a beat of silence before shinyu smirks. "you’re totally waiting for y/n, aren’t you?"
spider-man chokes on air.
"what?!"
shinyu laughs. "dude, relax. you guys seem close, that’s all."
spider-man doesn’t know what to say.
shinyu keeps going, teasing. "you like them or something?"
spider-man malfunctions.
because the answer is yes, so much yes, oh my god yes, but he cannot say that.
so he just stands there, absolutely flustered, failing to form a single coherent word.
shinyu raises an eyebrow. "wait. do you like them?"
"WHAT? NO. HAHAHA. HA." spider-man's voice cracks.
shinyu stares.
spider-man stares back.
the silence is deafening.
then shinyu grins.
"oh my god, you totally do."
spider-man groans and buries his face in his hands. this is a disaster.
shinyu laughs. "don’t worry, i won’t tell."
"thank you," spider-man mutters, still dying inside.
shinyu pats his shoulder. "good luck, loverboy."
and with that, he leaves, completely unaware that he just ruined the big reveal.
spider-man sighs so hard.
he’s going to scream into his pillow when he gets home.
jake sim has been so, so careful.
for months, he’s balanced both sides of his life perfectly, being the popular golden boy at school while keeping his very obvious crush on you a secret, and being the confident, quick-witted spider-man who gets to talk to you without turning into a human error message.
but all of that completely shatters in a matter of seconds.
and it’s entirely his fault.
it’s late, and you’re heading home from another study session with shinyu.
your backpack is slung lazily over one shoulder, and you’re lost in thought when suddenly—
"HEY!"
a voice yells from the alley beside you, and before you can react, a blur of red and blue drops down from above.
spider-man.
except something is off.
because he’s standing in front of you... maskless.
his wavy hair is messy, his expression is panicked, and his wide brown eyes lock onto yours in sheer horror.
… jake sim.
"JAKE?" you yelp.
"OH MY GOD." jake grabs his head like he just realized he left the stove on. "OH MY GOD, I FORGOT MY MASK. I—I THOUGHT I PUT IT ON BUT I DIDN’T. I JUST SWUNG DOWN WITHOUT IT—OH, THIS IS SO BAD—"
he starts pacing in frantic circles, muttering a meltdown under his breath. "stupid, stupid, stupid—how do you forget your MASK? how did i even think this was a good idea? i should just move to another country—"
you’re just standing there, staring at him, processing.
spider-man is jake sim.
jake sim is spider-man.
it all clicks.
the awkwardness. the stammering. the similarities you swore you noticed but ignored.
you slap a hand over your mouth, because instead of being shocked, instead of yelling or freaking out—
you start laughing.
"you’re kidding." you wheeze. "you’re actually kidding."
jake stops spiraling and looks at you like you just started speaking another language. "wait. why are you laughing?"
you’re losing it. "because this makes so much sense now. oh my god. jake."
he goes so red. "don’t say my name like that while i’m wearing the suit, that feels illegal."
but you can’t stop laughing. "i can’t believe i didn’t put this together sooner. you—oh my god, you were literally short-circuiting in front of me at school while having full-on conversations with me as spider-man."
"please," jake begs. "please let me live."
you wipe a tear from your eye, catching your breath. "wait—hold on—" you inhale, trying to compose yourself. "so… does that mean… you had a crush on me this whole time?"
jake freezes.
his entire body locks up like you just hit him with a paralyzing spell.
you raise an eyebrow. "jake."
he doesn’t move.
he doesn’t breathe.
"jake," you say again. "do you—"
"OKAY—" he blurts out, exploding into motion. "yes! yes. i like you. a lot. i have for a really long time. and i know this is probably the worst way for you to find out but—"
you take a step closer.
he shuts up immediately.
he’s still rambling in his head, though, oh my god, they’re looking at me, they’re getting closer, what does this mean, am i going to die—
and then—
you kiss him.
it’s soft, quick, and so unexpected that it completely short-circuits him.
his brain blue-screens.
by the time you pull away, his soul has left his body.
"you just—" he breathes, voice barely above a whisper.
you grin. "you like me."
"YOU JUST KISSED ME."
"yeah." you tilt your head. "you gonna do something about it, spider-man?"
jake.exe has stopped working.
he just stands there, mouth opening and closing, until finally—
he just groans into his hands. "oh my god, i am so in love with you."

Cigarettes during sex
Bakugou Katsuki x Reader (smut)
MDNI (18+)
description: Okay, so every time I hear Apocalypse by Cigarettes After Sex, all I can think about is this one fic (that I totally can’t remember the author of, but it’s one of my faves) where Bakugou and the reader share their first kiss, and the song is playing in the background. It was too perfect. So I took the band’s name, put a twist on it and ran like hell with it to create this little piece of chaos. Enjoy the ride folks!!!
𖤣.𖥧.𖡼.⚘ 𖤣.𖥧.𖡼.⚘ 𖤣.𖥧.𖡼.⚘ 𖤣.𖥧.𖡼.⚘ 𖤣.𖥧.𖡼.⚘ 𖤣.𖥧. 𖤣.𖥧.𖡼.⚘ 𖤣.𖥧.𖡼.⚘
The house was quiet. It always was at this hour.
You’d grown used to it—the empty bed, the distant hum of the city beyond your window, the way the sheets always felt colder on his side. It wasn’t that you didn’t love your life with him. You did. But loving a pro-hero meant nights like these—curling up alone while he was out fighting villains, keeping the world safe at the cost of his own peace.
Your nightly routine had become muscle memory. Face washed, skin moisturized, teeth brushed. The only sound in the house was the gentle padding of your feet against the hardwood floor as you moved from the bathroom to the bedroom.
You pulled back the covers and slipped into bed, letting the familiar warmth wrap around you. The scent of clean linen and faint traces of his cologne still clung to the pillows, though it had faded over time.
With a quiet sigh, you turned on your side and let your eyes flutter shut.
And then—
The front door opened.
It wasn’t loud, but it was distinct. The telltale click of the lock, the heavy creak of the hinges, and then the sound of boots and his gauntlets hitting the ground.
Of course, you didn’t need to see him to know it was him. His presence was unmistakable, a force that filled the space like a storm rolling in. His steps were slow but firm, the heavy soles of his boots hitting the floor with just a little more weight than usual.
Then came the scent—smoke, sweat, and burnt caramel. It filled the room, wrapping around you, sinking into the fabric of the sheets like a brand. He always smelled like this after a rough night.
The bed dipped.
You were half-asleep, shifted a little to face his sitting figure on the bed, but then his voice cut through the silence.
“Go back to sleep.”
It was rough—sharp around the edges, like he didn’t want to be touched, like he was still caught in the whirlwind of whatever hell his night had put him through.
But you weren’t going to do that.
Instead, you pushed yourself up, rubbing the sleep from your eyes, your voice soft. “Rough night?”
Silence fell for a moment.
“Somethin’ like that.”
He was sitting at the edge of the bed, still in his hero suit, elbows on his knees, hands clasped together. His head hung low, hair damp from sweat, streaked with soot. He smelled like smoke—but not the kind that came from a battlefield.
You frowned slightly. “Baby…”
He exhaled through his nose, the muscles in his jaw tightening. His fingers twitched slightly, like he was holding something back.
Then, with a sigh, he reached for the nightstand.
You watched as he pulled out a cigarette, sliding it between his lips with one hand while the other flicked open, a small spark from his palm igniting the tip. The ember glowed softly in the dark, casting shadows across his sharp features as he inhaled deeply.
Your stomach twisted. “Katsuki—”
“I know,” he cut you off, already irritated, already defensive. “Spare me the fuckin’ lecture.”
He was such a hypocrite.
Katsuki Bakugou, pro hero Dynamight, the same man who spent years sneering at people who smoked, scoffing at the idea of putting anything in his lungs that could weaken him.
And the worst part? It wasn’t even fresh. The pack was half-crushed, barely touched. You knew damn well he’d been smoking off the same pack for a month. That’s how little he did this, but he still did it.
Smoke curled from his lips as he exhaled, filling the space between you, thick and hazy. His jaw clenched, his fingers rolling the cig between them before taking another drag, letting it burn slow in his lungs before blowing it out in a long breath.
But then he got up and turned to face you, his fingers went to his belt.
Your breath hitched as he unbuckled it, the soft clink of metal ringing in the silence. Your eyes lingered—trailing down, following the way his hands moved, the way his fingers worked open the button, slid down the zipper. The way you could see his half-hard dick through his grey boxers and, fuck, that happy trail.
Heat crept up your neck, pooling in your stomach as your thighs pressed together instinctively.
Katsuki exhaled smoke through his nose before side-eyeing you, catching the way your gaze lingered.
The sight of him like this—half-dressed, hair a mess, cigarette hanging from his lips—was unfair. It shouldn’t have affected you the way it did.
“What’cha lookin’ at, doll?” he murmured, the cigarette still between his lips.
Your cheeks burned, but you didn’t look away.
He smirked, tugging his pants down just enough to sit low on his hips before palming himself through his underwear, giving himself a slow squeeze. His other hand pulled the cig from his lips as he exhaled, voice dropping into something deep, rasped, something that sent a shiver straight down your spine.
“Give me a break,” he muttered, eyes dark as they met yours. “Ride it for me.”
You swallowed, lips parting slightly, unsure. It wasn’t like you didn’t want to, but—
He tilted his head, exhaling another slow breath, his tone turning almost teasing.
“Don’t make me beg, baby.”
You hesitated for a moment, uncertainty gripping you, but the heat between your thighs was undeniable. The way he looked at you—hungry, almost desperate—pushed you over the edge. It was always like this with him, when the lines between frustration and desire blurred.
Katsuki wasn’t someone who begged, and he sure as hell didn’t expect anything from you that he didn’t want. The rawness of his voice, the way his gaze burned through you, left you with no choice but to comply.
But you wanted him to want you—just as much as you wanted him, right here, right now.
“Fuck, Katsuki,” you breathed out, barely able to keep your voice steady. “You’re making this hard…”
A low chuckle rumbled in his chest, a sound that made your pulse spike. He leaned back on the bed, cigarette dangling from his lips as his hands slid down his boxers. His fingers grasped his length, giving it a slow, teasing stroke, before his gaze shifted back to you—heavy, predatory.
You quickly pulled down your underwear, eager for his dick like you hadn’t just been fucked into the headboard last week by him. But last week felt like months ago.
Katsuki’s breath was hot on your skin, the intensity of his gaze never wavering as he watched you. The burn of desire in his eyes made you feel like you were being consumed whole, and you could feel the heat of his body beneath yours as you got on top of him and began to ride him with steady, purposeful movements.
His hand gripped your hips, guiding you as you moved, but he wasn’t just focused on you. His other hand, the one that wasn’t busy holding you in place, reached over to the nightstand. You watched him carefully, his fingers brushing against the box of cigarettes, pulling one free with a practiced motion.
Before you even had time to process, he was lighting another cigarette, the ember glowing bright as he took a deep drag. The smoke swirled around him, thick and heavy, wrapping itself around you both.
His eyes never left yours as he exhaled a slow, deliberate cloud of smoke, the hazy mist floating between you like a veil of temptation. You felt the burn of his gaze as much as you felt the heat of his body. His lips curled into a smirk, watching you move above him, and you couldn’t help the rush of heat that flooded your cheeks.
“You look good like this, doll,” he murmured between drags, his voice rasping. “But don’t get shy on me now.”
You couldn’t tear your eyes away from him, from the way he looked as he exhaled the smoke, the faint glow of the cigarette illuminating his sharp features in the dim light. The sound of his deep breaths, the way his chest rose and fell with every inhale, was like a rhythm that matched the pace of your body moving on top of his.
Your hands braced against his chest as you increased the pressure, rolling your hips in slow, deliberate motions. The friction sent a rush of pleasure through you, and you bit your lip, trying to stifle the sounds building in your chest. Katsuki didn’t let up, though. His eyes followed every movement, his hands gripping you tighter as he took another drag, holding the smoke in his lungs before blowing it out slowly, letting the cloud surround you both.
You leaned forward, your body trembling with the effort to keep moving, but the sight of him, so relaxed with that damn cigarette between his fingers, was enough to make your mind whirl. You felt the coil of heat tighten deep within you, threatening to snap.
“Fuck, Suki,” you gasped, your voice strained with the effort of riding him, the overwhelming sensation of him inside you mixing with the pull of his cigarette smoke. The blend of pleasure and the slow burn of nicotine clouded your senses.
He exhaled another cloud of smoke, his smirk widening. You could feel his cock twitch inside you, the way he was close but holding back, like he was savoring every moment of this. His hand moved from your waist, sliding up your body, cupping your breast in his hand, fingers squeezing roughly. His thumb brushed against your nipple, sending a jolt of pleasure through you.
“I don’t need you to make it pretty,” he continued, voice dark and full of command. “Just fuckin’ ride my cock. You hear me?”
The edge in his tone made your heart race, and you pushed yourself to go harder, faster. The sounds of skin slapping against skin filled the air, your breathing frantic as you chased that release. The whole room smelled of him—his cologne, the lingering smoke, and the undeniable scent of sex that filled the space with every movement.
His lips parted, another slow drag from the cigarette as he let the smoke roll from his mouth, watching you with eyes that were borderline feral now. “You look so good like this,” he grunted, his grip on your hips tightening as he met you thrust for thrust. “Gonna make me fuckin’ lose it, baby…”
That was all you needed. The words, the sight of him with his cigarette hanging loosely between his lips, his eyes dark with hunger—it sent you tumbling over the edge. Your body tensed, your hands digging into his chest as you came undone, the pleasure rippling through you in waves.
Katsuki followed shortly after, his hands tightening on your hips as he gave one last powerful thrust up into your hips, his release hitting deep inside you as he groaned, his lips curling around the cigarette in his mouth as he took one final drag, blowing it out with a shudder.
You collapsed forward onto his chest, exhausted and sated, but he wasn’t done yet. He sat up a little, still holding you, still partially inside you. He took another drag from the cigarette, his breath shallow as he exhaled the smoke, watching you through half-lidded eyes.
“Go to sleep, baby,” he said, his voice low and thick. “I didn’t mean to wake you in the first place.”
You chuckled softly, half-exhausted and still caught in the haze of the moment. “You promise you’re fine?”
He just smirked, tossing the half-finished cigarette onto the floor.
“Just some stupid fuckin’ villain got away, had me all fucked up, but you made me feel better.”
You watched him toss the cigarette on the floor, too tired to give him shit for it.
“I’m glad, but please no more cigarettes, alright?”
He rolled his eyes before closing them and pulling you in closer than you were.
“We’ll see about that.”

"y/n, who do you think would be better?"
jay's voice pulled you out of your distracted haze, making you glance up at him with a confused tilt of your head. his expression was casual, but the subtle smirk curling at the corner of his lips told you otherwise.
you blinked, processing his words, but truthfully, you hadn’t been paying attention to any of their conversation. for the past thirty minutes, the three of them had been bickering back and forth, their voices fading into background noise as you remained engrossed in your phone, too uninterested to care about whatever stupid argument they were having this time.
"about what?"
your voice came out flat, uninterested, as your gaze flickered between sunghoon and jake, who sat right beside him.
but the moment sunghoon opened his mouth, your breath hitched, your body going rigid at the sheer audacity of his words.
"who do you think is best at giving oral?"
your phone nearly slipped from your grasp, your heart stuttering in your chest as you stared at him, eyes wide, lips parting slightly in shock.
were they serious?
the air thickened immediately, tension settling heavily between the four of you, and you could do nothing but sit there, staring at them, trying to piece together how the hell this conversation even started.
"bro, i'm literally number one—the best pussy eater you’ll ever know."
jake’s voice dripped with confidence, his smirk cocky, self-assured, as he shoved jay back playfully, as if the argument was already settled. jay barely reacted, only rolling his eyes, his expression unreadable, before giving a slow, mocking nod.
"yeah, okay."
the way he said it was so dry, so unconvinced, that it only added fuel to the fire, jake’s lips parting slightly as if he was about to argue his case again, but then both of them turned back to you.
waiting.
expecting.
your mouth felt dry, your skin suddenly feeling too warm, as their intense gazes bored into you, waiting for you to weigh in—waiting for you to choose.
but how the hell were you supposed to answer that?
your brows furrowed deeply, your expression a mix of disbelief and confusion, as you finally found your voice.
"how the fuck would i know?"
your response came out half incredulous, half exasperated, because, seriously—what the hell kind of question was that?
yet, despite the absolute insanity of this conversation, the atmosphere in the room had shifted.
the tension had thickened, intensified, and as you met their eyes again—jake’s cocky smirk, jay’s dark amusement, and sunghoon’s unwavering gaze—you realized something.
they weren’t just joking around anymore.
they wanted to prove it.
"if you're thinking the same shit as me, consider it not happening."
your voice was firm, unwavering, but the slight waver in your breath didn’t go unnoticed by them. the tension in the room had become almost suffocating, their gazes too heavy, too intense, and you needed to put some distance between yourself and whatever the hell this was turning into.
you pushed yourself up from the couch, your movements sharp, deliberate, as you made your way toward the kitchen. but just as you expected, they were right behind you, their footsteps close, too close, and you could already hear the low chuckles, the occasional shoves, as they jostled each other for space, acting as if this was some kind of game.
"please, y/n."
jake’s voice came first, smooth, persuasive, and just as you reached the kitchen counter, you felt his presence at your back, his hand reaching out to gently grasp your wrist, stopping you just short of putting any real space between yourself and them.
"these fuckers won’t stop until proven wrong…"
his words were half-exasperated, half-taunting, but the way his fingers tightened around your wrist, firm yet careful, sent a sharp shiver down your spine. you swallowed hard, feeling the warmth of their bodies closing in, sunghoon now leaning against the counter, his smirk lazy but his eyes dangerously sharp, while jay stood just a step behind jake, arms crossed over his chest, his gaze never once leaving yours.
they were serious.
and no matter how much you tried to ignore it, pretend like you weren’t affected, there was no denying the heat that was now thrumming in the air, curling around you, settling deep in your stomach.
jake barely had time to react before sunghoon shoved him aside, his movements quick, determined, completely unwavering as he made his way in front of you. his presence was overwhelming, the heat of his body so close, too close, as his hands found your waist with ease, thumbs pressing into your skin just enough to make you shiver.
his gaze was dark, unreadable, but the sly smirk playing at his lips told you everything you needed to know.
"let me prove them wrong, baby..."
his voice was low, smooth, thick with undeniable promise, and before you could even think about protesting, he was lifting you effortlessly, placing you onto the cool surface of the countertop. the contrast between the chill of the marble and the burning heat of his hands sent a shudder through you, and you barely had time to react before you felt his fingers hooking onto your waistband, dragging your shorts down slowly, torturously, as if savoring the moment.
"you’ll see why i’m the best out of the three, baby..."
his lips brushed against your ear, his breath warm, teasing, sending a wave of anticipation curling low in your stomach.
"gonna make you feel so good, you’ll be begging for more..."
the words dripped from his tongue like honey, and your breath hitched as he tossed your shorts aside, the fabric landing in a heap right in front of jay and jake’s shoes.
but he wasn’t done.
his hands moved with practiced ease, slipping beneath the delicate fabric of your panties, fingers curving just enough to drag them down the same way, slow, deliberate—torturous.
the second he let them fall from his fingers, your breath stalled, because the moment your bare pussy was revealed to them, a low, collective groan filled the space around you.
"fuck."
jay’s voice was hoarse, jake sucked in a sharp breath, but sunghoon?
he simply spread your legs wider, his hands gripping onto your thighs as he dropped to his knees, his hungry gaze locked onto you like he was starving.
the warmth of his breath fanned over your core, and before you could say anything, a soft whimper escaped you, completely unbidden.
he leaned in slowly, deliberately, his breath ghosting over your inner thighs, sending a shiver rippling through your body. his lips pressed down softly, warm and teasing, leaving a trail of heat as he inched higher, higher, his grip on your thighs tightening just enough to keep you in place. the anticipation was torturous, every small movement setting your nerves on fire, your breath coming out in uneven exhales as your body tensed under his touch. the way his lips lingered, the way his breath fanned over your skin—it was all too much, yet not enough.
your gaze was locked on him, pupils blown wide with both desire and trepidation, but no matter how much you tried to focus on sunghoon, you couldn’t ignore the two other sets of eyes burning into you from across the room. when you flicked your gaze upward, jake and jay were watching you intently, their expressions unreadable, though the subtle smirks pulling at their lips told you everything. there was something predatory in their stares, something that made your breath hitch, something that told you they were just waiting for you to break.
jay moved first, stepping closer, invading your space without hesitation, his presence alone enough to make your skin prickle. his fingers came up to trace over your cheek, soft, featherlight, a stark contrast to the intensity in his eyes. the way he looked at you was intoxicating, possessive, like he was already staking his claim before anything had even happened.
"gonna let sunghoon please you, doll?"
his voice was low, velvety, dripping with amusement, but there was something darker laced within it—something that made your stomach coil in anticipation.
"though he wouldn’t be as good as me..."
his fingers ghosted over your bottom lip, his touch barely there, yet enough to send a wave of heat through you. his words hung between you, heavy with implication, but before you could even think of responding, before you could process anything beyond the heat pooling low in your stomach—
sunghoon’s mouth was on you.
your reaction was instant, visceral, uncontrollable.
your body jolted, your thighs twitching as his lips wrapped around your most sensitive spot, his tongue flicking out in a slow, deliberate motion that had you gasping sharply, your nails digging into his hair.
"uh—fuck..."
your hands moved on their own, fingers tangling into his soft strands, your grip tightening without thought, without control, whether it was to ground yourself or push him deeper, you didn’t even know. he worked you with steady, calculated precision, his tongue dragging through your folds, lapping up your arousal with a hunger that made your head spin. his lips sealed over your clit once more, the suction intense, perfectly timed, before his tongue flicked over the sensitive nub, slow at first, then faster, sharper, sending pleasure rocketing through your body.
the heat in the room became suffocating, your skin damp, flushed, your breathing coming out in short, uneven gasps as sunghoon devoured you like a man starved. the contrast between his firm grip on your thighs—keeping you spread open, exposed, vulnerable—and the way his tongue worked against you, wet and warm and so precise, had your head falling back slightly, your body already on the verge of unraveling.
you could hear their breathing, could feel their presence surrounding you, the weight of their gazes pressing into your skin like a physical force. every time you moaned, every time your hips twitched involuntarily against sunghoon’s mouth, you knew they were watching, knew they were reveling in the way you slowly fell apart beneath their touch.
and god, you were so close to breaking completely.
"are you gonna cum, baby?"
sunghoon’s voice was low, muffled, his lips brushing against your drenched core as he peered up at you, his dark eyes burning with intensity. the sight alone nearly undid you completely—his mouth was slick with your arousal, his chin glistening as his tongue worked you over with expert precision, never once faltering in its relentless pace.
your breath came in short, ragged gasps, your chest rising and falling erratically as you locked eyes with him, your vision hazy with pleasure. your lips were parted in a silent moan, your mouth forming a perfect "o" shape, unable to articulate anything but breathy, desperate whimpers. the way he was eating you out—starving, greedy, determined—had you on the edge, your thighs trembling violently as you struggled to keep yourself upright on the counter.
but then—he changed the rhythm, and your body convulsed at the sheer intensity of it.
his tongue, once flicking and swirling over your clit in calculated, teasing strokes, now plunged deep inside you, the wet muscle thrusting in and out rapidly, fucking you with a pace so relentless, so overwhelming, that your hands flew to his hair, fingers tangling desperately as you pulled harder, unsure if you were pushing him away or pulling him closer.
"oh—fuck!"
your voice rang through the room, shameless and nearly desperate, the pleasure coursing through your veins making you feel boneless, weightless, completely undone.
"cum for me, baby," he murmured against you, the vibrations sending shockwaves straight to your core, your walls clenching around his tongue as he pushed deeper, his grip on your thighs tightening, keeping you exactly where he wanted you.
"show these fuckers I’m the best..."
his words were cocky, possessive, demanding, and he only doubled down, his tongue working even faster, his lips suckling harshly on your clit before diving back in, drinking you down like he couldn’t get enough.
the coil in your stomach tightened to the point of snapping, and you could do nothing—nothing but give in.
your head tilted back violently, your back arching off the counter, your thighs squeezing around his head as pure, white-hot pleasure crashed over you like a tidal wave.
"m’gonna cum—fuck, hoonie!"
your shattered moans filled the air as your orgasm ripped through you, your entire body trembling from the intensity, your nails digging into his scalp as you came completely undone against his mouth.
sunghoon groaned in satisfaction, lapping up every last drop, his tongue lazily flicking over your sensitive clit, as if he wasn’t ready to let you go just yet.
jake didn't hesitate for even a second, shoving sunghoon aside with ease, his hands immediately cupping your face, his palms warm and firm against your flushed skin. before you could even register what was happening, his lips crashed against yours, hungry, demanding—claiming. his kiss was rough, unrelenting, his teeth catching your bottom lip, sucking harshly before letting it snap back into place, the motion sending a shudder down your spine.
your head was spinning, still reeling from your orgasm, but jake didn’t give you a moment to recover. without a word, he dropped to his knees, his broad shoulders spreading your thighs even further apart as he settled between them, his heated gaze locked onto your swollen, glistening core.
"fuck, princess…"
his voice came out in a low, sultry purr, his breath hot against your skin, sending goosebumps trailing up your arms. his hands smoothed down your inner thighs, fingers digging into the soft flesh, thumbs tracing slow, lazy circles—teasing.
"you look so fucking good like this..."
he pressed an open-mouthed kiss to your thigh, then another, his tongue flicking out to lick at your sensitive skin, the contrast between the cool air and the heat of his tongue making you tremble involuntarily.
but he didn’t linger there for long.
within seconds, he had your legs spread impossibly wide, his grip tightening as he dived in without warning, his mouth latching onto your clit immediately, sucking with an intensity that had you arching off the counter with a sharp gasp.
"oh—fuck, jake, wa—!"
your words dissolved into a choked moan, your body shuddering violently as the overstimulation hit you like a freight train, the pleasure almost too much, too soon.
but jake? he wasn’t letting up.
his tongue moved in sync with his lips, alternating between harsh, deliberate sucks and slow, teasing licks, as if he was determined to break you down completely.
"c’mon, baby," he murmured against you, the vibration of his voice sending sparks straight to your core, his hands keeping you firmly in place as he continued to devour you with no mercy.
"you can take it. i know you can."
jake didn’t wait for a response—he never did.
without hesitation, his tongue plunged into you, the wet muscle curling and flicking with an unforgiving pace, leaving no room for teasing, no time to adjust. his movements were relentless, messy, his lips and tongue working in tandem, coaxing wave after wave of pleasure through your already overstimulated body.
the sounds that filled the room were obscene—the lewd slick of his tongue against your soaked folds, the wet, desperate moans that spilled from your lips, and the deep groans vibrating through jake’s chest, sending shocks of pleasure through your core. your arousal was everywhere, spreading over his lips, his chin, dripping down his jaw, though if anything, it only seemed to spur him on.
"fuck, jake—oh my god—!"
your voice trembled, your breath hitching between ragged gasps, your thighs beginning to shake uncontrollably as the pleasure mounted too fast, too intense. your hands gripped at the counter, nails scraping uselessly against the cool surface as your head tilted back, eyes squeezed shut from the overwhelming sensations.
but jake wasn’t letting up.
"fuck—this pussy’s so fucking good…"
his words were muffled against you, but the husky, wrecked tone of his voice sent another pulse of heat straight to your core. before you could even think, before you could brace yourself for the inevitable, he dove back in, his tongue thrusting deeper, curling against the soft, sensitive spots inside you, his lips latching back onto your clit with a devastating finality.
it was too much.
your body tensed violently, back arching as the orgasm slammed into you like a tidal wave, white-hot pleasure consuming every inch of you, your vision going blank, your mind fogging over completely.
your eyes rolled back, mouth parted in a silent scream before a shattered moan ripped through you, your legs trembling furiously as the release crashed over you, leaving you utterly, completely undone.
jake groaned in satisfaction, lapping up every drop, his grip firm as he kept you pinned down, refusing to let you escape the pleasure—not until he had taken everything from you.
"j-jake, I can’t—!"
your voice broke, strangled and trembling as your body shuddered violently, the overstimulation burning through you like fire. you could barely breathe, your chest heaving as your hands gripped uselessly at the counter, trying to ground yourself, trying to escape the relentless pleasure that refused to fade.
but jake? he wasn’t done.
his lips were still latched onto your clit, his tongue still flicking, slow and precise, dragging out every last aftershock, refusing to give you even a second of respite. his hands tightened on your thighs, keeping you spread wide, holding you firmly in place as your body twitched and convulsed beneath his mouth.
"p-please—fuck, I can’t—" you sobbed, tugging weakly at his hair, trying to push him away, your mind dizzy, overloaded, completely undone. but jake only groaned against you, the vibration making you jolt, sending another shockwave straight through your exhausted body.
but then—
suddenly, his warmth was ripped away.
a sharp growl filled the air as jay yanked jake back, his grip tight and unforgiving, the air between them thick with tension. jake wiped the slickness off his chin with the back of his hand, his lips shiny and swollen, his eyes glazed with hunger as he glared up at jay, clearly displeased at being interrupted.
"bitch, you already had your turn."
jay’s voice was low, rough, dripping with possessiveness, his gaze locked onto you, hungry, dark, dangerous. he stepped forward, closing the space between you in an instant, his fingers trailing up your trembling thighs, his touch searing against your oversensitive skin.
"now it’s mine."
your breath hitched, your body still shaking from the aftermath, but jay wasn’t about to give you a break.
his hands moved gently, fingers trailing along your damp cheek, smearing the stray tears that had spilled so effortlessly. his touch was soft, almost tender, but the way his eyes burned into you—filled with the utmost, raw hunger—told an entirely different story.
jay didn’t speak right away, just watched you, admiring the way your breath hitched, the way your lips parted slightly, still swollen from the way you had been biting down on them, desperate to contain your moans. he leaned in, so close you could feel the warmth of his breath ghosting over your lips, teasing you, tempting you. but just as you pushed forward, chasing the kiss, he pulled back, a wicked smirk playing on his lips.
"so needy for me, doll?"
his voice was low, teasing, the deep timbre sending chills down your spine. he let his lips trail along your cheek, barely pressing against your skin before drifting lower, down to your jaw, where he lingered just a second too long, his lips barely brushing against you before he finally let his kisses deepen.
his once sweet, featherlight pecks turned into open-mouthed kisses, hot and wet, his tongue darting out to soothe each spot before his teeth grazed against your skin, sucking down just enough to make sure his mark would be there tomorrow.
"jay, please…"
your moan was nearly breathless, a mixture of desperation and impatience, your fingers gripping onto him, nails digging into his shoulders, but jay was in no hurry. he wanted to take his time—to watch you come undone beneath him, to savor every sound, every shiver he could pull from you.
his lips continued their torturous descent, drifting lower, his kisses growing wetter, sloppier, his hands curving under your shirt, bunching the fabric in his fists as he dragged it up. he took his time, his lips leaving a heated path down your stomach, pressing kisses along the dips and curves, his breath fanning over your sensitive skin, making you shudder.
but it wasn’t until he finally reached the apex of your thighs, his face mere inches from your aching core, that you truly felt the heat of his gaze, the weight of his hunger.
jay exhaled deeply, his hands gripping your thighs firmly, spreading you open as he took in the sight before him.
"fuck… look at you, doll."
his voice was thick with need, his eyes locked onto you with an intensity that made your entire body burn.
jay’s fingers barely grazed your aching clit, the lightest touch sending a jolt through your overstimulated body, but before he could go any further, a sharp voice sliced through the thick tension in the kitchen, making you flinch.
"that's cheating."
the words dripped with amusement, edged with challenge, and when jay’s fingers stilled against you, his jaw clenched in mild annoyance, you knew exactly who had spoken.
sunghoon.
leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, his sharp gaze was trained directly on you, his tongue clicking disapprovingly as he shook his head. jake, lounging lazily beside him, let out a low chuckle, his smirk only widening as he tilted his head at jay.
"fucking cheater."
"oh, shut up…" jay’s voice was barely above a murmur, a quiet growl of irritation mixed with amusement as his hand glided lower, fingers trailing teasingly along your inner thigh, making your breath catch in anticipation. he leaned in, so close that you could feel the warmth of his breath ghosting over your aching core, sending a shiver through your already sensitive body.
his lips brushed against your skin, and he let out a low, knowing chuckle, one laced with pure mischief, pure possession.
"just wanted to touch my precious doll…" he murmured, his tone mockingly sweet, but there was an edge to it, something darker, more possessive curling at the ends of his words. "guess if I can’t do that, then…"
he let the sentence trail off, leaving the thought unfinished, leaving you hanging in that space of need before—a sharp gasp tore from your lips.
jay wasted no time, his tongue dragging slow and deliberate, a single, flat lick up your soaked folds, the heat of it sending a shockwave straight through you. your thighs twitched, body jerking slightly, and a whine spilled from your throat, drawn out and helpless as he lingered just a second too long, letting you feel every bit of him, letting the wet heat of his tongue press against you fully.
your hands fisted his hair, toes curling, but nothing could prepare you for the way he finally reached your clit, his tongue flicking the swollen bud, a sharp contrast to the slow, languid strokes before.
"fuuuck, jay—!"
your voice broke, the pleasure hitting you too fast, too strong, your thighs trying to snap shut, but his hands kept you spread wide, his nails digging into your skin as if to say—you’re not going anywhere.
jay’s movements were slow, deliberate, each stroke of his tongue against your clit sending waves of pleasure coursing through your veins. his mouth was hot, wet, merciless, his lips wrapping around your swollen bud before sucking lightly, the sensation making your thighs tremble in his grasp.
a deep groan rumbled through his chest, the vibrations shooting straight through your core, making your body jolt as his tongue delved deeper, pushing into your entrance at an agonizingly slow pace. the stretch was new, the feeling intimate, filthy, and it had your walls fluttering, gripping his tongue tightly, pulling him in further.
"oh—s-shit…!"
your breath hitched, a sharp gasp escaping as your hands scrambled for something to hold onto, your body on fire from the overwhelming sensation. your eyes flickered open, and what you saw only made the heat pool even deeper in your stomach.
they were watching you.
sunghoon, jake—both standing there, their dark gazes locked onto you, silent, intense, their chests rising and falling with slow, controlled breaths. but you didn’t miss the way their jeans strained painfully, their bulges prominent, unmistakable, the fabric doing nothing to hide just how much this was affecting them.
sunghoon was the first to move.
he pushed off the wall, his footsteps measured, predatory, and before you could even react, his large hands tangled in your hair, his grip firm, possessive as he tilted your head up, forcing your dazed gaze to meet his.
"look at you…" his voice was low, taunting, his thumb brushing over your swollen lips, his eyes dripping with dark amusement. "so fucking pretty like this."
then, without warning, he crashed his lips against yours, swallowing the desperate moans spilling from your mouth. the kiss was hungry, feverish, all clashing teeth and tangled tongues, as if he was devouring the remnants of your sanity. your lungs burned for air, but you didn’t care, gasping against him only to have him steal the breath from your lips again.
and then—another pair of hands.
jake moved next, stepping into place like it was second nature, his touch searing as he reached for your shirt, his fingers brushing over your flushed skin as he dragged it up, up, up. your bra followed suit, the straps slipping off your shoulders before he tugged the cups down, letting your breasts spill free, the cool air making your nipples pebble instantly.
"fuck," he breathed, his voice raspy, thick with want, his hands already pushing your thighs further apart.
his lips met your skin a second later, hot and wet, tongue swirling over one nipple before his teeth grazed it lightly, tugging just enough to send a sharp jolt of pleasure straight down your spine.
you whined into sunghoon’s mouth, your back arching instinctively, and that only spurred jake on, his hands palming your tits, squeezing, kneading, his thumbs brushing over your sensitive peaks before his mouth latched onto the other one.
and through all of it—jay never stopped.
his tongue still delved deep into you, his lips still wrapped around your clit, the sinful combination of their hands, their mouths, their touches pulling you further and further into madness.
your thighs trembled violently, the overstimulation coursing through you in waves as jay’s slow, deliberate licks kept you teetering on the edge, his lips never once losing their rhythm. the contrast between his agonizingly slow pace and the sharp, sudden flicks of his tongue against your swollen clit had you completely breathless, your moans dissolving into whimpers against sunghoon’s mouth.
but just when you tried to push yourself further into the kiss, just when you needed the distraction from the unbearable pleasure building in your core, sunghoon suddenly pulled away, his lips leaving yours with a slick pop.
jake followed suit, detaching himself from your chest, his wet lips grazing your sensitive nipple one last time before he leaned back, both of them now watching you, taking in the state you were in—eyes hazy with lust, lips swollen and parted, chest rising and falling in sharp, unsteady breaths.
"fuck, jay—please don’t stop…"
your voice wavered, laced with desperation, your fingers tightening in his hair as you rocked your hips against his mouth, seeking more, needing more. but just as you thought he’d give in, a sharp sting spread through your inner thigh, a loud slap echoing in the heated kitchen.
a loud, broken whine ripped from your throat as your body jerked, your leg twitching from the impact.
"take what i fucking give you, doll," jay growled, his voice low, rough, sending a chill down your spine. his fingers gripped your thighs, spreading them even wider as he dived back in, his tongue moving faster, deeper, more relentless than before, his lips latching onto your clit as he sucked so hard your entire body shuddered violently.
your head tilted back, falling against jake’s shoulder, your body feeling weightless, on the verge of crumbling apart. his hands immediately wrapped around your waist, securing you against him, his lips pressing soft, almost mocking kisses along the side of your neck.
"gonna cum, baby?" jake murmured, his voice taunting, teasing, his lips brushing against your ear as his fingers traced up your trembling stomach. "gonna make a mess again, aren’t you?"
all you could do was whimper, nodding furiously, your hips rolling desperately against jay’s face, chasing the release that felt so impossibly close yet so painfully out of reach.
your entire body convulsed, waves of pleasure crashing down on you with an intensity that left you trembling. your thighs clamped around jay’s head, but he didn’t budge—instead, he moaned against you, the vibrations pushing you further into bliss, his tongue languidly stroking through your folds, savoring every drop of your release.
"fuck—fuck, jay!"
your voice broke into a scream, your back arching sharply, fingers gripping onto whatever you could find—jake’s arms, the edge of the countertop—anything to ground you as your orgasm ripped through you with overwhelming force. your breath came in sharp, gasping pants, your chest heaving, mind completely blank from the aftershocks.
but jay? he wasn’t done.
he kept going, his tongue lazily dragging through your slit, collecting everything you gave him, groaning deeply like he was addicted to the taste of you. it was too much, the overstimulation bordering on unbearable, and you whimpered, your hips weakly shifting away, but jay held you in place, his hands gripping your thighs tightly as he licked you clean, whole, ruined.
with one last slow swipe of his tongue, he finally pulled away, standing up, his chest rising and falling heavily, his lips, chin, and jaw glistening under the dim kitchen light.
when your hazy vision cleared, you were met with three pairs of eyes, all trained on you, all filled with dark amusement and heated satisfaction.
"baby, tell us now…"
sunghoon’s voice was low, coaxing, his fingers brushing damp strands of hair away from your face, tucking them behind your ear so gently it sent shivers down your spine. his gaze searched yours, expectant, confident—like he already knew the answer.
but you couldn’t speak.
your lips parted, but nothing came out, your throat too dry, your mind too foggy, either from the intensity of your orgasm or the impossible choice laid before you.
"come on, princess," jake murmured next, his lips ghosting along your cheek, his voice dripping with cocky certainty. "it’s me. i know it is."
his hands skated over your sides, his fingers sinking into your waist possessively, and for a moment, you thought maybe he was right—maybe it was him—maybe—but all you could do was whimper softly, a weak shake of your head following soon after.
"i… i c-can’t…"
your voice was small, breathless, barely audible, but they all heard it.
jay, still catching his breath, raised a brow, his gaze tracking over your shaking body, your parted lips, your chest still desperately seeking air.
"what do you mean?"
his voice was gentler this time, but there was something demanding behind it, something that said tell me now.
you swallowed thickly, eyes flickering between them—sunghoon’s intense gaze, jake’s lazily confident smirk, jay’s piercing eyes that never wavered from yours.
"i… i can't c-choose…"
the words left you in a whisper, your lashes fluttering as you dropped your gaze, feeling the heat of their stares consume you whole.
"you three are the best."
silence.
"fuck."
three voices, three reactions—jake’s grin widening, sunghoon clicking his tongue, jay exhaling sharply, shaking his head slightly before running a hand through his hair.
you barely had time to register their expressions before jake grabbed your chin, forcing you to meet his eyes once more.
"guess we’ll just have to take turns ruining you, then, princess."

As a prompt Danny after he enters Gotham for any suddenly starts growing again for the first time since the portal incident and his body instead of slowly again decides to catch up all the missing years of growing at once so Danny goes from still looking 14 to suddenly having his father's height and looking his actual age.
Growing pains.... Literally
Since his death, Danny hasn't really... Grown. His parents think he's a late bloomer, that he'll grow later in life. But it's been four years since he's died and he hasn't grown a single inch in that time.
Frostbite is kind enough to tell me that... Well... He's stuck.
He's stuck in this form until something affects his physical form. Amity, even though it's considered the most haunted place in earth, doesn't have enough ambient ectoplasm for Danny. There are too many ghosts from the realm that feed of it, too many nevermores that need it to exist. Amity feeds it's ghosts but it doesn't have enough for a halfa like him.
When he moved to Gotham for the aerospace program (plus the scholarship) he doesn't expect much from it. People still question him about his age, it almost ends with him flinging his ID and birth certificate on people and cussing them out on his height.
He had even started exploring the city. There was this one cafe he found and the owner, Lily, was an absolute angel! With a shotgun. And he met a lot of people in Lily's Eden Cafe, like this weird kid that apparently dropped out of high school. Now, Danny ain't one to judge, so he's pretty okay with Tim. Except for the fact that he was so cool and smooth on a skateboard. Danny wanted one too.
Almost a week after moving, he's suffering. His body hurts, everything aches. It's as if something inside of him was trying to break out and it's making his bones strain. Everything about it hurts.
Many days passed of Danny being delirious from the pain, barely able to register what he was doing. A week and it's like he spent a coma walking around while his consciousness was asleep, practically dead by the lack of his memories.
The next time he woke up, it's been a week since he blacked out from the pain.
There's music in the background, almost familiar. The beat is something he heard Ember compose before his eighteenth birthday, then it was practically blasted through our the Ghost Zone when the day actually came.
"Shhh! Turn that racket down!"
"Hell nah! He likes it, see?"
"The little king seems.... To......change... Gotham..."
His eyes snapped open, gasping when he saw multiple pairs of eyes looking down at him.
"He's alive!"
Danny's instincts took over in that second and he's sending a blast of ecto towards the sudden scream. More screaming. Too much screaming. His head hurt.
"Holy shit, baby pop!"
He takes a moment before he's recognizing Ember... And the hole on his wall... And his glowing hand. Shit.
"Woah, woah! Calm down."
In Danny's confused state, he could barely register Kitty and Johnny in the room. Oh, and Shadow too. But still...
"I— What happened?" He groaned, blinking slowly. "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
His voice... OH MY GOD HIS VOICE! Why was it so deep?! What was wrong with his voice? Did he have a cold or something? Or maybe it's just his morning voice—
"Congrats on your dawning!" Johnny congratulated, grinning like a madman.
"What?" ooh, that was weird, "What the heck is an dawning?"
"Ooh, baby pop!" Ember cooed, "Forgot that our little king is still pretty new to being all ghost. C'mon now, baby. Mama Ember will teach you all about ghost puberty."
"GHOST WHAT?!"
Tumblr media
Ghost puberty was a thing apparently. He had hauled himself into the Far Frozen after yelling at the four ghosts to steal him some clothes that would actually fit him. Because his entire body felt wrong... So wrong.
He was taller now. Having shot up from 5'4" to a whopping 6'2". Everything still hurt and now all his clothes didn't even fit! Nothing looked right when he'd looked at the mirror. He was almost as tall a shis dad now—he looked almost exactly like his dad now actually. It was almost terrifying how much he resembled his dad. If he went to visit now, he's sure that his mother would have a heart attack from how quickly he had grown.
"Frostbite!" Danny practically growled and oooh... Yeah, now it sounded differently to whenever he'd end up snarling. The deepness of his voice almost intimidated him.
"Great one!" The yeti greeted, looking utterly ecstatic to see him. "Ah, I see you've finished your dawning. I offer my sincerest congrats, your majesty."
"Yeah, yeah. The fuck is a Dawning?"
Frostbite blinked, before his expression morphed into a grim one. "Oh dear... I had thought that the Observants would have deigned to explain this too you upon your coronation... Well, let us sit then, great one. This will be a long one."
To summarize it all, Ghost puberty.
A Dawning was a time every ghost went through, so long as there was enough ambient ectoplasm around them to help their forms morph into their preferred appearances. Usually, a ghosts appearance to their own mentality. Their maturity.
Apparently, Young Blood already went through a Dawning but remained in his child-like form due to his own mental age. He was a child in heart, mind, soul, and body.
Meanwhile... Danny who was still alive yet also dead, had followed on with his mental maturity. His body morphed, it changed, it adapted to how he saw himself, how he desperately wanted to become deep down in his core.
And this Danny Fenton was a 6'2" giant trying to control all his limbs that were suddenly too long, too heavy. Everything felt strange....
Tumblr media
Tim Drake's favorite cafe was known for being neutral ground for both rogues and vigilantes. You don't fuck around Lilian's cafe or else she'll pull out a rifle and shoot you dead. So if course, Tim fucking loved the place.
Actually, many people frequented it.
He's familiarised himself with the faces of a lot of people by then. Even that scrawny new kid that arrived three weeks ago. Tim remembers Danny for how enthusiastic he was about going to collage, not even minding the madness of Gotham itself. It was like he thrived in it.
He waves at Lilian after ordering his usual, taking a seat in the corner before he's whipping out his laptop. Duke and Steph arrive soon after, immediately ordering before going off to join Tim.
Mundane things, something they all seemed to appreciate more.
The bell rings, more customers arrive and—
"Danny! Holy hell, what happened?"
Tim paused, immediately snapping his eyes towards— WHAT THE FUCK?!
Steph whistled, "Hot damn..."
Danny Fenton was a scrawny young man, shorter than Tim. Even more slim.
But whoever the hell entered the cafe was 6'2", almost as muscled as Jason, and slouching like Clark—as if he was in the wrong body. He almost dropped his drink if not for Duke gently guiding his hand down.
"Hey, Lils..."
God, what the fuck was that? What was happening? Who the hell was this awkward adonis with a voice as deep as the fucking ocean?
"Tim?" Duke waved his hand over his eyes, "Timothy? Timbers?"
"Duke, leave him alone. He's gone, never coming back." Steph snickered, shaking her head before her eyes went back to Danny, who was stuttering as he tried to order what he wanted. "But damn if I wouldn't act the same. Shoot your shot—"
Shoot his fucking shot he did.
"Hey Danny..." Tim slid up to him with a smile.
Danny blinked—woah was he tall and practically built like a fucking fridge—before his eyes brightened and a smile joined his expression.
"Hi Tim!"
Was this how Bruce felt like when he saw Clark?

Tumblr media
Charlie ran manically around the hotel, fixing various things and studying the entire building under a microscope to ensure it looked its best. Zipping her way to the lobby, she caught the gaze of Angel Dust, who was in the middle of sucking down a frozen popsicle.
“Be nice today! Look your best, oh oh! No porn on the TV!” Charlie shouted rushed and frazzled as she came up beside Angel to fluff out the couch cushions. Husk watched silently ears zeroed in on the conversation unwillingly, focusing mainly on Angel. “Geez toots, what’s got your feathers in a bunch?”
Angel smiled amused by Charlies odd demeanour. “My best friend since, like, forever is coming here today! To see the hotel!” Charlie exclaimed lurching forward to grip Angels shoulders. Smirking at her Angel continued to suck on the popsicle. “So what, is this broad special or something?”
Charlie leaned back pulling her hands down her face, an exasperated groan crawling out from her throat. “Yes! Her mother was friends with my mom when they first came to hell, her mom ended up falling for a hell spawn and we born around the same time,” Charlie explained ringing her hands while pacing.
“She’s my best friend we grew up together, i’m worried she won’t like what i’m doing here.” Charlie finally confessed with a sigh, her body deflating as she herself came to terms with the fact she was afraid. Vaggie lingering in the background finally approached Charlie sticking her hand out to message her arm comfortingly. “I’m sure it’ll be fine toots! Plus she’s a born sinner! Ain’t no way anything here’s gonna be shocking her.”
Despite her worry she could admit Angel Dust was right, AND you’re her best friend there’s no way you’d be unnecessarily cruel to her dreams, you were always supportive and imaginative along with her. Smiling down at Angel, Charlie then plopped down beside him, resting her hooves after hours of hecticily running around. “You’re right Angel, thank you.” Angel hummed out an arrogant ‘you’re welcome’ while Vaggie circled the couch leaning over the back of it.
“So how long has it been since you’ve seen them?” Vaggie asked poking Charlie’s cheek. Looking away she counted on her fingers before turning to look at Vaggie. “Four years, they stayed with me while I tried getting over the absence of my mom; they live in wrath though and eventually went back.” Clapping her hands Charlie stood from the couch her brief moment of hoof rest over, the three sinners watching as she muttered to herself about everyone being on their best behaviour while walking off, clearly the talk only did a little to hush her nerves.
~
Standing outside the hotel doors your ears twitched at the sounds coming from beyond it, it’s clear as day that Charlie was instructing people to behave, be nice, and- not show you porn? Suddenly the door opened startling you slightly but that quickly wore off when you were greeted by the joyous face of your best friend Charlie. Tugging you into a bear hug, Charlie squealed about how excited she was, you naturally fell into her giving her a warm tight hug right back.
“I am so glad you’re here! I’m so happy to see you!” Charlie exclaimed pulling back and examining you. You hadnt seemed to change much to Charlie, the white tail you had wagged behind you happily, your equally platinum ears relaxed occasionally twitching at the sounds around you, your pink deer like nose that was perfectly contrasted with your skin colour.
It was clear you were half an angel, and Charlie lemented, when you two were younger, that she was jealous you had a more animalisitc appearance in comparison to her, but you reminded her that it didn’t matter because she was still as gorgeous as ever. “I’m so glad to be here! I was starting to think you’d never end up inviting me.” You laugh warmly.
Charlie beckoned you inside linking your arms together, the two of you walked inside. Vaggie was punctuated and ready to great you as you came further into the room. “Hi, I’m Vaggie-“ Vaggie was cut off promptly by Charlie who excitedly pulled her into a bear hug, cheek to cheek. “My girlfriend!” Charlie finished with a shout.
Your ivory tail flicked behind you happily as you grinned. “Holy shit! You’ve got a girlfriend? Damn we really need to catch up! Its so nice to meet you Vaggie.” You smile shaking her hand as she stuck it out, Vaggie only nodded smiling seemingly quite reserved.
After some rushed introduction of those around the room including Husk, Angel, Nifty, and Sir Pentious, Charlie took you to your room to settle in. Closing the door behind the two of you Charlie watched as you laid your suit cases down by the bed, unzipping them and pulling out your clothing. “Sooo,” Charlie trailed hands tucked behind her back as she wandered around the vacant room.
“You remember Alastor right? The radio demon?” Charlie questioned, sounding suspicious. Looking up from your folded laundry you quirked a brow fearing where this might be heading. “Yes… i do.” You say slowly, fixing your posture waiting for her to turn to you, but she seemed rather interested in the wallpaper. “Well… y’know… this hotel takes a lot…. and when i first started…” Charlie trailed off gazing out the open window, stepping towards her you carefully placed a hand on her shoulder.
Looking at you she knew there was no sense in keeping such a prominent part of the reason this hotel was possible secret. “Alastors here, he helped since the start. He hasn’t asked for anything in return and he’s already fought for us!” Charlie spat the words out so fast you barely had time to comprehend. You and her were raised around each other meaning you had the same interactions with many of the princes’, sins, and hellborn, but human overlords were always were more…. well they weren’t used to power and immortality so they often over did it, Alastor was no different from what you were aware of.
“Are you sure having him is a good idea? Does your dad know?” Charlie nodded confirming her dad did know. “Yeah he doesn’t know who Al is, and to be fair none of us did! I promise he’s not that bad. Give him a chance?” You hummed looking away as she looked to you, you didn’t want to upset her by the discomfort that would be evident in your eyes. You didn’t enjoy brawls and fights, and you fear the demon would initiate that.
“Well i suppose i could trust him if you do, but i am skeptical; you’re always seeing the light in demons, even when it’s not there.” You laughed out recalling some things of the past that ended poorly because of a Charlie’s trust in certain sinners. And though at times foolish it was still an admirable trait and you aspired to be as kind hearted as she could be. “Where’s the guy anyways?” You asked after a short moment of pondering.
Charlie shrugged looking as if she was trying to recount the day. “Well he did say he had a meeting with Rosie,” She muttered quietly, although you didn’t know who Rosie was, you didn’t bother questioning it instead you pat Charlie on the shoulder, telling her that you’d like to get some rest, and you’d worry about Alastor later.
And so you spent a bit of time unpacking your things and settling down, you always preferred to be more in touch with the animalistic parts of yourself so your belongings held a lot of earthy aesthetics to them. Sitting on your bed, stripped of the hotels sheets and remade with your own, you opened your laptop and began typing.
You had forgotten about Alastor for the most part but you remember Charlie brining it up as he began his tyranny after his death. Charlie had always been pretty involved with her people, mainly focusing her energy on human sinner so you weren’t surprised that she knew of him, you were however surprised she was so willing to let him in when he massacred her people.
After a few minutes of light research about the demon, you established with how long he was gone perhaps he would be willing to change however you’d keep up your guards just to be sure.
~
Humming to himself Alastor got ready for the day, though he rarely slept he did occasionally get into evening outfits if he was staying in. He fixed his hair, ensuring not a hair was out of place and with a finally dust of his sleeves, he materialized his microphone and trotted his way out of his room.
A new scent hit him the minute he got to the staircase, the reaction was instantaneous, his ears perked, his tail stiffened thank the hellions no one was around to witness his discomfort, because it was evident. Fixing his posture, and his smile, he pretended nothing was up and continued his way downstairs. He greeted Husk as usual, and like usual Husk only grunted at the demon.
Making his way into the kitchen Alastor was stunted in place by the sight in front of him. There you stood deer tail wagging, singing along to music as you mixed a bowl of who knows what together. Alastor observed you quietly as ever, and definitely not checking you out because that would be rude- however your tail was very much distracting.
Clearing his throat the static spitting out behind his voice, you jumped slightly at the sound of him, looking over your shoulder to where he stood at the kitchen entry. The two of you simply stared at each other for a moment, the song in the background seemingly quieter than before, as if the two of you were in your own little zone.
Alastor couldn’t describe the gravitational pull he had toward you, he would’ve been a fool to deny your beauty, but he’d never had issue admitting when a demon or person was beautiful, it didn’t matter to him, so he couldn’t grasp why you seemed to have an immediate effect on him.
You too felt similarly gawking at the sight of him, i mean you’d never seen pictures of him, only art or depictions, which really didn’t do him any good. You were honestly a little embarrassed, you thought he was incredibly handsome, contrary to your beliefs prior to this moment, and you felt a little silly to suddenly feel like going back on your apprehension about him simply because of how attractive he was.
Deciding to finally break the intense yearning gaze the two of you held, Alastor perked up stepping close to you swinging his hand out to shake. “Alastor darling, pleasure to meet you, quite the pleasure.” Going unnoticed by you, Alastor’s voice involuntarily dropped lower, making it come out more sultry than he’d ever done during an introduction. Of course Alastor was aware it wasn’t his normal voice and wondered why the hell he decided to modify his tone to come out as seductive as it did; was it just by nature?
“I’m YN, Charlie’s best friend. I don’t know if you knew i was staying but i am, surprise! Heh,” You say a little nervously sticking out your hand but quickly retracting it, as it was covered in dough. “I’m making bread and breakfast, do you like french toast?” You finish finally gaining the courage to meet his gaze properly.
His eyes were lidded, and he looked down at you only with his eyes keeping his head forward, which made you feel some type of way. He had such a big presence, height aside, that would make anybody on the receiving end of his heated gaze, shrink. “I suppose i wouldn’t mind a little bite to eat, tell me little doe, how do you make such a meal?”
Of course Alastor knew what french toast was, but he’d much prefer to play stupid so he could listen to you speak, and have you look up at him so deliciously. “Well, i’m making some homemade no yeast bread, and then i’m gonna do the egg and frying, normally i mix some cinnamon and honey in, but i might not since i don’t know what you guys like. A lot of people put syrup, but i can’t stand it; too sticky.” You explained mixing all of your ingredients, turning to him you smiled.
“Would you mind greasing the pan for me, please?” Alastor nearly purred at you with how you requested his help he would’ve bent himself backwards if it meant you’d ask him like that again. The way these emotions hit him in the gut; the undeniable feeling of desire he was trying to fight against was incredibly intense and oddly, he liked it. “Of course my dear, whatever you wish, i shall see to.” With the snap of his fingers his hair had been pulled back, suit jacket gone, leaving him in only his white button up, and a pink apron.
Shamessly your eyes roamed his figure watching as he began to grease the pan with his hand. His eyes still lidded and smile relaxed. You enjoyed how he stood tall and relaxed, and it was only now when you caught a peek of his red tail that you realized; “You’re a deer?”
Alastor paused momentarily, eyes lazily difting toward you. He didn’t mind that you saw his tail, and he was a little surprised you lacked to notice he was a deer. “What did you think i was sweetheart?” Alastor exclaimed his entertainment persona peeking through as he did. You peeled your eyes away feeling a little bad for staring at him, instead you focused on placing the bread into the bow greased pan before responding. “Maybe a fox, but to be honest i didn’t think too much about it.”
Alastor hummed in agreement, watching as you placed the bread in to the oven. There weren’t many does Alastor has seen, many bucks but does were more of a rarity. The two of you made breakfast, bantering about things here and there and getting to know one another.
“What’s earth like?” You asked watching him prepare dough for beignets which he insisted you tried as it was a lousiana breakfast staple- but also because he wanted to have you to himself just a bit longer, and show off his cooking skills. “What do you mean dear?” Alastor questioned brows furrowed slightly, but his inquiry came soft with no judgement. “I’m not human, moms an angel, dad was one of the few hell borns that kinda just popped up, we don’t know where he went to though, anyways i’ve never seen the earth.”
Now that, was news to him. He suspected you were something special based off the tugging feeling he had toward you, but being a literal angel wasn’t something he would’ve bet on, but should’ve guessed on. Without a worry in his mind, Alastor happily told you about his home in new orleans, what it was like being a radio host, how in got into voodoo, how he new some cajun french, as well as his mother.
Leaning on the counter head rested on his hand, looking at you dreamily while the beignets fried. “My mother was an angel, she was my biggest supporter at the time, the reason i kept pushing. I have the upmost respect for mothers like mine.” You, as equally lost in the dream like bliss Alastors presence brought you, smiled at his story’s ogling at the man who spoke so highly of his mom. “That’s the sweetest Alastor, I wish i could’ve met the woman who made you into such a gentlemen.” You flirt subtly gently patting his arm.
Alastor hummed a lovesick smile on his face his tail wagging happily behind him as the two of you continued to yap. Tails syncing with the way they swayed unnoticed by you two as you lost yourselves in eachother, also going unnoticed was Charlie giddy as could be, in the background jumping up and down. Slipping away to Vaggie, Charlie gripped her like she was her life line. “YN and Alastor are totally going to get together! Ahh!” Charlie squealed shaking a limp Vaggie back and forth.
~
“Mhm Alastor please please please,” You chant wrapped tightly around the demons waist, as he pressed you up against your dresser. After a full day of being alongside Alastor the tension snapped between you two, although it took a few things to get there. First Angel hitting on you right after breakfast, it made Alastor seethe the symbols and static materializing as he watched Angel hit on you. It made Alastor realize such a sweet doe like you must be marked, can’t have other buck or demon filth thinking they can just put there hands on you.
The second thing that egged him on was when the two of you went for a stroll together, and while in a store witnessed a demon repeatedly harass you while you simply tried to pick out a dress! Alastor apologized for the blood shed, but he professed he needed to obliterate that demon to protect you and that would be the only time he would ever put you in a position to see such things. Which made your heart flutter, you felt the desire to have him protect you, it’s not like you couldn’t do it yourself but it made you weak in the knees to have a demon like Alastor jumped to protect you.
Thrusting into you needily, Alastor growled like a mad man his hand climbing up your body to grab your cheeks gently fixing your gaze up to him. “You’re mine,” Static laced his tone as he hissed out at you, pushing his body flush to yours. Moaning like a whiny porn star, you nodded in your head in a daze. “My mate,” He muttered again breathing deeply as he clenched his teeth.
Reaching your hands up to grab his antlers that sprout, you couldn’t help the way your body shook and the way you lewdly moaned. You felt so electrified and couldn’t contain the pleasure Alastor was making you feel. “Please Al, I love it so good,” You whined against his lips, his smile closed and strained as his lips brushed against yours, your breath tickling him as you whined.
Smashing your lips together Alastor picked up the pace feeling like a wild animal. He wanted you, forever, he wanted you to be his one and only, his only doe. Making himself hornier with the thought of having you all to himself his static crackled loudly as he thought up something mischievous. Pulling back from your heated kiss, you whined begging him to kiss you, touch you and fuck you, smiling at you in your disheveled state, a green huge suddenly engulfed the room.
The two of you lit up like neon as symbolize shined in the background. “Give yourself to me little doe, be my mate for entirety and the world is yours, anything you or your friends want i will give you. I can’t let such a thing like you go, i need you.” Alastor statically said, it sounded quite ominous but you were too horny to pick up on that, you could only pay attention to the need you had between your legs and in your heart. Alastor wanted you to be his forever, linked to you for eternity. Perhaps it was the fact that you were both deer that you two had this simultaneous connection, but regardless you couldn’t care you just wanted him back as much as he wanted you.
Thrusting yourself upward into him, you gripped his hand, while clenching down on him at the same time. “Yes, always i’m yours only; it’s a deal.” You moaned. Growling demonically Alastors green disputes like electricity, escaping this room and flowing through the hotel like wave. Feeling his heart bloom Alastors ears clipped back as he jackhammered into you, the dresser slamming against the wall while you squealed a little giggle bubbling out from how needy he became. That giddiness left as a violent hot mass washed over you, screaming out a moan you clutched Alastor, singing out his name through moans of appreciation as he coaxed you with praises through your orgasm.
It shook your body, and soon after Alastor came to a halt inside you, biting down hard on your neck. You moaned his name, not even feeling pain as he sunk his teeth into you down to the gum. After a few moments of licking up your blood he pulled away gazing into your fucked out eyes. As you were about to tell Alastor that you needed to figure out why you were both so suddenly connected, Charlie bolted in.
“YOU MADE A DEA- FUCK IM SORRY!” Within the span of two seconds Charlie had two separate panic attacks, one because she saw the green deal making light shoot through the hotel while you were alone with Al, and the second right after she closed to door from seeing the two of you intertwined at the hips.

red carpet reveal | drew starkey
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing - drew starkey x gf!reader
warnings - none
summary - drew brings you to the outer banks season four premiere even though you're relationship is still under wraps. well, until it isn't thanks to a pushy reporter.
masterlist
--------
the 'outer banks' premiere is in full swing and you're so grateful you get to experience it with drew for the first time. you're buzzing with excitement, the flashing of cameras and excited fans screaming as the cast makes their way onto the red carpet feels surreal.
"you doing okay?" drew asks, gently squeezing your hand.
you nod, looking up at him with a smile, "more than. go shine you superstar."
he chuckles and his hand gives you another comforting squeeze before letting it go and opting to rest it on your back. the way he looks in that suit, flashing his signature smile to the cameras, makes you wonder how the hell you even let him out of the hotel room.
as drew is ushered into many different interviews, you keep to yourself, staying mostly in the background and out of shot. you don't mind this, always having preferred to watch him in his element. he talks with so much passion and excitement that you could, and do, listen to him for hours on end.
the night seems to be going perfectly until it's not. the problem? a leggy blonde who's seemed to make it her life's mission to interview your boyfriend. you claim to not be the jealous type, but you can already tell the type of questions she's going to ask by the way she stalks over to him, eyes not so subtly looking him up and down with an exaggerated smile on her face.
"so, drew," she begins, her voice already annoying you, "you're looking very handsome tonight. outer banks season four! what's it like to still be playing the hottest character on the show? you are literally the internet's boyfriend right now."
he's here with you, don't let it get to you are the words that keep repeating in your head as drew politely answers the question, but you know she's attempting to flirt with him.
"what does your family think of the show? i'm assuming they're very proud," her eyes briefly flicker over to you and she turns her attention to you, "you must be such a proud sister, right?"
you scoff, not only at the question but at the condescending way she's talking to you, like you're a child.
"uh... she's not my sister actually." drew chuckles awkwardly, his free hand coming up to scratch at his neck.
her eyebrows raise in surprise before her shrill voice cuts through the air, "oh sorry! well, it's so thoughtful of you to bring your friend to the event."
yes, you've both agreed to not directly make your relationship public, but god did you want to set the record straight. the way her hand kept grabbing his arm throughout the whole interview is making your blood boil.
before you can say anything, the interview continues and she pays you no more attention. drew's patience for this is wearing thin, but he's determined to remain professional, not wanting to go viral for lashing out at someone for doing their job.
"coming back to my earlier point about being the internet's boyfriend, how's the love life? tell us, do you have your own sofia yet or are you still available?" the interviewer asks, playful flirtation coating the words as they leave her lips.
drew's arm unloops from yours and slides around your waist to pull you slightly closer to him. he's not trying to out your relationship, just reminding you he's there.
his eyes narrow slightly in annoyance at the question, "i... uh, well it's my personal life. wanna keep it personal."
"come on, not even an inkling of an answer?" she insists.
you've had enough of this woman and, quite frankly, drew has to. he's ready to walk off but you don't let him, instead moving to face him with your back to her.
"what are you doing?" drew leans down, whispering in your ear.
before you let yourself overthink what you're doing, you grab the back of his head and pull him into a kiss. everyone around you is in shock. cameras are all turning toward the two of you, and the fans are screaming even louder now. the kiss isn't a subtle peck or quick goodbye kiss. no, it's a kiss that is telling the world he's yours and no amount of bad flirting will take him away from you.
when you pull back, your cheeks are flushed and drew has a stunned smile on his face. your eyes suddenly widen as the realisation hits you like a train of what you just did, and he can tell that a million thoughts are going through your head.
"hey, stop overthinking it. i'm glad you did it," he starts before whispering, "meant she finally shut up and stopped trying to flirt with me."
relief washes over you and your tense shoulders drop as you let yourself relax. you don't even want to think about the social media reaction right now.
"umm," the interviewer clears her throat, "i guess that answers the question."
you grab drew's hand before looking back at the woman, "i think we're done here."

❚ ❚ ❚ ❚ ❚ ❚ ❚ ❚ 𓍢 LUXURIOUS aeri uchinaga x reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
౨ৎ warnings: popular mean girl x loser athlete, swearing, yn plays soccer(football or wtv I don’t care honestly) and aeri is super rich, drinking, angst, fluff
aeri liked to think of herself as a simple girl she liked attention, shopping, money, and her friends. sometimes her friends. and the only thing she truly despised was-
sports. an unfortunately male dominated activity in the professional world and in schools, but interestingly, not at this school. well, only for one sport.
soccer.
the girls’ soccer team was the most funded, medal winning team in the school. they were popular, big on social media, and the school's main money makers. they were also total machines.
kinda.
"this is the team the school is known for?" aeri asked, filing her nails with a bored expression. "I’m unfortunately not impressed. these editors sure know how to hype them up it has to be the sexy music in the background."
"they're literally stretching." jimin looked at her, squinting. "they haven't even done anything yet. plus, this is practice."
"exactly!" aeri replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "so why are we here? most classes are finished, we should be shopping or something."
"we're here to watch minjeong practice, duh," yizhuo said.
"exactly. we're here to support our friend," jimin added, looking at aeri, who scrunched up her face.
"minjeong is barely my friend," she said, shaking her head while analyzing her nails. "she doesn’t fit our aesthetic. why would you guys adopt a soccer player? is this, like, a charity thing? are we getting filmed? if so, cut everything I just said and get my good side."
"look! they’re taking out the ball now."
aeri didn’t even glance up at yizhuo’s words, too engrossed in her phone. ugh, she couldn’t believe they had dragged her out here just to sit on the bleachers and watch a bunch of brainless jocks kick a ball around.
time passed, and aeri tuned out most of what was happening, busy plotting her escape. maybe she could say her mom needed her for an emergency modeling gig. or that her dad had a last-minute business meeting and required her presence. two things that would never happen, but jimin would probably see right through her anyway.
she was so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t hear the gasps and shouts around her.
until something hard slammed into her face.
her head snapped back, and her phone tumbled from her hands.
a soccer ball. she had just been hit in the face with a soccer ball.
"oh shit!"
"good one, yn!"
“shut up yunjin!”
aeri shrieked, clutching her forehead as laughters and are you okays erupted from the field.
"oh my gosh, aeri."
jimin placed a hand on aeri’s shoulder, only for her to be brushed off. "are you okay? that looked like it hurt."
it did.
but aeri wasn’t about to admit that. instead, she inhaled sharply, her voice dropping low. "who the hell did that?"
jimin pointed toward the field. right at her.
standing between yunjin and ryujin, nervously biting the nail of her thumb, was the culprit.
they locked eyes. one gaze wide and doe, the other sharp and burning with rage.
guess which was which.
"hey, are we allowed to keep this since it hit aeri in the face?"
both girls turned to look at yizhuo, who was holding the soccer ball like it was some kind of prize.
aeri barely spared it a glance before snatching it out of yizhuo’s hands. then, without hesitation, she stormed onto the field.
"you’re fucked, y/l/n."
"here comes trouble."
"can you guys shush?"
yn barely had time to process the situation before aeri was right in front of her, glaring up at her with fire in her eyes.
without a second thought, aeri hurled the soccer ball straight at her.
unfortunately, yn caught it. effortlessly. with both hands.
yn blinked, tilting her head slightly, a lopsided grin tugging at her lips.
"i’m so sorry. you see, I have this condition where I just kick the ball really hard. it’s called strong leg disorder—"
"that’s not a thing."
"can you shut up? I’m trying to save my own life here." yn shot a glare at ryujin before turning back to aeri. "there’s no cure. I really wish there was. I would never intentionally mess up your pretty face—not that you aren’t still pretty now, after what just… uh… happened. but, you know…"
her voice trailed off as aeri’s glare darkened. yn winced, mentally kicking herself.
"do you think i’m an idiot?" aeri stepped closer, eyes locked onto yn, who instinctively leaned back only for her teammates to shove her forward, straight into the lion’s den.
"I really want to say no," yn admitted, hands raised slightly, "but I’m scared it’s a trap."
then, as if she wasn’t a whole athlete who could easily overpower aeri, she squeezed her eyes shut like she was bracing for impact.
"you’re lucky I don’t call my dad and get you kicked off the team."
instead of looking scared, yn only furrowed her brows. "he can do that? i thought he owned a car company."
"woah, woah, woah."
chaewon, the team’s captain, stepped in, hands raised in a peacekeeping gesture. "let’s not get too hasty. she’s one of our best players we can’t lose her."
"that thing?" aeri pointed at yn, who mouthed thing? in offense, glancing at yunjin, who was barely holding in her laughter. "is one of your best players? she hit me in the face."
"and I totally get why you’d be mad," chaewon said, cutting off yn when she tried to interject. "she’s an idiot."
yn scoffed. rude.
"but," chaewon continued, "she will make it up to you. i promise. in fact, you can choose how."
"wha—"
"i’m trying to save you here. shut up."
aeri’s expression shifted, mischief glinting in her eyes. yn turned to her team with sheer horror in hers.
"i can choose?" aeri repeated, her voice dangerously sweet.
"…okay."
then, she turned back to yn, who swallowed.
"you," aeri said, watching as yn stiffened.
"yes?"
"you’ll know by tomorrow."
and just like that, she spun on her heel, strutting off the field without another word. her friends scrambled to grab their things and follow because she was their ride, and she was not about to wait for them.
yn exhaled, rubbing a hand down her face.
"you’re so fucked." yunjin whistled.
"can you guys not state the obvious right now?"
Tumblr media
it was nighttime, and aeri still hadn’t figured out what she wanted yn to do. everything she thought of felt too cliché. with a sigh, she opened the app she claimed to hate and typed in yn’s full name.
to be honest, she hadn’t known who the girl was until today. sure, she knew of the soccer team who didn’t? they were impossible to ignore in the dining hall, always causing some sort of disaster. and the edits, god, the edits. do you know how many times she had to click not interested?
but now that she thought about it… she’d never seen any of yn. maybe she wasn’t a fan favorite.
or so she thought.
aeri’s eyes widened as she scrolled. video after video edit after edit all of yn. the captions were unhinged , the comments even worse. but before she could even process it, she found herself immersed.
yn wasn’t bad looking.
while she was scrolling, a notification popped up yizhuo had sent her a live. aeri clicked on it, only to realize it was huh yunjin’s.
"I feel like if  I wasn’t a soccer player, I’d definitely be a basketball player." yunjin spoke as she ripped open a bag of chips, turning to ryujin beside her.
"I feel like you wouldn’t even play sports if it wasn’t for soccer," ryujin shot back. "and yn? she’d definitely play hockey."
"yeah, after me, yn’s probably the second most likely to get into fights on the field."
aeri laughed. that loser? fighting?
the mention of yn’s name sent the chat into a frenzy.
user1: where did she go?? 😭 user2: ugh bae needs to come back user3: yn playing hockey… im shaking user4: she needs to come back rn
come back?
"fuck, I poked my eye."
yunjin and ryujin turned just as yn walked back into the frame, squinting one eye while adjusting her beanie.
aeri’s gaze flickered to the screen. yn had her hoodie slung around her neck, exposing her toned stomach and sports bra. the chat went absolutely feral.
so yn was wanted, huh?
aeri leaned back against her pillows, lips curling into a smirk.
just like that, a light bulb flickered in her head.
Tumblr media
yizhuo struggled to keep up with aeri’s determined strides as they made their way toward the field, where the girls' soccer team sat catching their breath. sweat dripped down their faces as they sipped from their water bottles, still recovering from the first half of their practice.
“wait, why are we here again?” yizhuo asked, slightly out of breath.
“shut up.”
aeri’s sharp eyes immediately landed on yn, who stood in front of  ryujin and yunjin, laughing at something she had just said. whatever it was, it clearly struck a nerve ryujin’s jaw dropped in offense before she squeezed her gatorade bottle, spraying water directly into yn’s face.
yn let out a dramatic yell, stumbling back as the rest of the team burst into laughter even chaewon.
but the moment aeri called out, “yn!”, the laughter died instantly.
yn wiped at her face with her sleeve, still grinning until she turned around and saw who was calling her. her smile vanished.
aeri wasted no time, marching right up to her and jabbing a finger against yn’s chest. “you’re gonna be my personal girl toy." yn blinked. "huh?"
she glanced over her shoulder at her teammates, but before she could even process what was happening, aeri grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her back around.
"eyes over here." aeri tilted her head, voice smooth, almost teasing. "you’re gonna follow me everywhere i go and do whatever i say. got that?"
yn’s brain short circuited. "uh… is that even legal?" her face burned at the proximity. "I just—sorry—uh—"
"is that excuses I’m hearing?" aeri cut in, unimpressed.
"no? I was just asking a question-”
"then I have nothing else to say." aeri shrugged, turning on her heel like that was the end of the conversation.
just as yn opened her mouth to protest, a sharp whistle cut through the air.
"y/l/n! who the hell are you talking to?"
yn exhaled deeply, shoulders slumping. "sorry, coach!" she shot aeri a pleading look. "you need to leave, like, now. he’s already on my ass."
aeri studied her for a moment before smirking.
"meet me after your practice."
and with that, she spun around and walked off, yizhuo trailing behind her.
Tumblr media
yn let out a breath, rolling her shoulders as she stepped out of the changing room, still toweling off her damp hair. her baggy sweatpants hung low on her hips, barely clinging on, and her oversized team hoodie was slung over her shoulders, revealing the tank top underneath. she adjusted her hoodie absentmindedly, already dreading whatever ridiculous task aeri had planned for her.
but she hadn’t expected to see aeri leaning against the wall right outside the girls' changing room, arms crossed, looking like she had been waiting forever.
"you just stand outside girls’ locker rooms now?" yn asked, rubbing the towel over her head.
"I was losing patience," aeri said simply, pushing off the wall. "you take longer than I thought. what were you doing, a whole spa treatment in there?"
"some of us actually shower after sweating for two hours," yn replied. 
“so, what? I  just follow you around and get you stuff now?"
"yeah," aeri confirmed, like it was the most natural thing in the world. "you follow me, you do what I say, and you get me whatever I need. and in return, you get to be seen with me."
yn blinked. "...what?"
"people are always jealous of me," aeri continued, casually inspecting her nails like this was just another tuesday for her. 
“but I just recently found out how valuable you are. I mean, did you know people on the internet practically worship you?"
yn's eyes widened slightly. "what—"
"seriously, it’s insane." aeri shook her head, like she was still processing the horror of it all. "you’re, like, a phenomenon. and if I have you following me around like a puppy, it’ll make people even more jealous of me."
yn stared at her. "...that’s your whole plan?"
"yes."
"that’s the stupidest thing i’ve ever heard."
aeri shrugged. "stupid, but effective."
yn exhaled through her nose, shaking her head. "you know what? alright. I’ll see you around."
"great!" aeri clapped her hands together. "be ready for tomorrow."
"what happens tomorrow?"
"I’m taking you shopping."
yn groaned.
Tumblr media
the next day, yn found herself standing in the middle of an expensive boutique, arms full of shopping bags that weren’t even hers.
"I feel like I should be getting paid for this," yn muttered, shifting the bags to one hand so she could pull her hoodie sleeves up.
"you’re getting something better," aeri said, examining a designer bag.
"which is?"
"me."
"wow," yn deadpanned. "so generous."
"I know, right?"
as yn adjusted the bags in her arms, she caught their reflection in a nearby mirror. she looked ridiculous, carrying all her stuff, while aeri strutted around like a runway model.
"you know," aeri mused, looking yn up and down, "you actually look really good like this."
yn raised a brow. "like what?"
"doing what I want."
yn nearly dropped the bags. "what—"
"I mean, look at you," aeri continued, a smirk playing on her lips. "following me around, holding my bags, waiting outside my class for me. it’s a good look on you."
"yeah, whatever," yn muttered, looking away, ears burning.
aeri grinned. "so cute."
Tumblr media
aeri wasn’t sure when it started happening, but she was noticing yn way too much.
at practice, yn would be running drills, sweaty and focused, and aeri would catch herself staring.
when yn would wait outside her class, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, aeri would find herself smiling before she even realized it.
and when yn showed up at her house for the first time, dropping onto aeri’s bed and ranting about soccer practice, aeri found herself just… watching her.
yn was so expressive when she talked, hands moving, eyes lighting up when she got passionate about something. and god, she was attractive. even in her stupid soccer gear, hair messy, voice slightly raspy from yelling on the field.
"are you even listening?" yn asked, turning her head to look at aeri.
aeri blinked. "huh?"
yn sighed, dramatically throwing an arm over her face. "I said, practice sucked."
aeri rolled her eyes but couldn’t help the amused smile tugging at her lips.
"here." she reached into her bag and tossed something at yn.
yn caught it, frowning. "what’s this?"
"a gift."
yn turned the small box over in her hands, raising a brow. "you’re giving me stuff now?"
"you work hard," aeri said simply, like it wasn’t a big deal.
yn opened the box, eyes widening at the necklace inside.
"aeri, this is—"
"don’t make a big deal out of it," aeri cut in quickly. "just take it."
yn hesitated. "I can’t accept this—"
"well, you’re gonna have to," aeri said, 
crossing her arms. "I’m not taking no for an answer."
yn looked at her for a long moment before sighing and slipping the necklace on. "fine. but this doesn’t mean you own me."
aeri smirked. "sure."
Tumblr media
when the big game finally came, aeri dragged jimin and yizhuo to the front row.
she expected to be bored.
but then she saw yn in her element, completely locked in, eyes sharp, 
  moving like she was built for this.
and then she saw the coach yelling at her.
"jesus, what’s his problem?" aeri muttered.
"he’s just hard on her," jimin said, watching the game.
"yeah, well, he needs to chill."
then, it happened.
yn, her awkward, dorky, occasionally charming personal servant, got into a fight.
aeri watched, wide eyed, as yn shoved an opposing player back, jaw tight, voice sharp as she exchanged heated words.
"oh my god," aeri breathed.
"she’s hot, right?" yizhuo whispered.
"shut up," aeri snapped, crossing her arms.
yn got benched for a while, but when she was finally thrown back in, after having another yelling match with the coach she scored the winning goal.
before she knew it, aeri was heading straight for the locker room.
when she found yn, the girl was pulling a hoodie over her head, damp hair falling messily around her face.
"congrats," aeri said, leaning against the doorframe.
"thanks," yn replied, voice tired.
aeri frowned. "you don’t sound too happy."
yn exhaled. "stuff with coach got intense."
aeri raised a brow. "why do you let him get in your head?"
yn rolled her eyes. "cause he’s my dad."
aeri blinked. "oh."
"yeah."
"…if it makes you feel better, at least you and your dad have the same interests. my dad probably wouldn’t care if i ran off to join the circus."
yn huffed a laugh. "that… actually makes me more sad."
aeri grinned. "oops."
yn shook her head, but she was smiling.
"you’re going to the party, right?" aeri asked.
"yeah," yn said. "I’ll see you there."
aeri smirked. "good."
and that was the beginning of the night that would change everything.
Tumblr media
aeri knew she had a problem when she saw a cheerleader lean closer to yn, and her first reaction was to throw back another drink.
“okay, slow down.” yizhuo raised an eyebrow as aeri downed her fourth drink in the span of ten minutes.
aeri ignored her, eyes locked on the corner of the party where yn sat, looking stupidly awkward while the cheerleader giggled and played with her hair. 
yn was slouched forward, hands clasped together like she was in a job interview, clearly uncomfortable. 
but aeri didn’t see that. no, she saw yn sitting with some girl, some random girl not even thinkingabout texting her to see if she was here.
the audacity.
“aeri?” yizhuo waved a hand in front of her face. “you’re being weird. why are you-oh my god, are you jealous?”
“me? jealous?” aeri scoffed, setting down her empty cup. “please, I’m just—”
she lost her train of thought as she watched the cheerleader lean in even closer, whispering something into yn’s ear. that was it. that was her last straw. 
she spun on her heel and made a beeline toward them, mean girl switch fully activated.
yn noticed her first. “aeri?” she blinked, eyes widening.
aeri crossed her arms. “so, you couldn’t text me to see if I was here?”
yn furrowed her brows. “what?”
the cheerleader glanced between them, clearly sensing something was up. aeri ignored her and stepped closer to yn, lips curling into a smirk. “moving on to cheerleaders now? cute. I still own you, by the way.”
yn’s entire face flashed with hurt. “are we still doing this?” her voice was quiet. “I thought we were done with that. I thought we were—” she swallowed. “I thought we were connecting.”
aeri’s stomach twisted. she hated the way yn was looking at her right now, like she was disappointed.
so, naturally, she did what she did best, shoved that feeling way down and doubled down.
she let out a sharp laugh. “connecting? why would i connect with a dumb jock who hit me in the face with a soccer ball?”
yn flinched. actually flinched. and suddenly, aeri hated herself.
but instead of fixing it, she grabbed another drink and walked away.
an hour later, she was completely shit-faced.
she was swaying, a half-empty cup in her hand, reaching for another when someone grabbed her wrist.
“I think you’ve had enough.”
aeri groaned, rolling her head back to see who was bothering her now. yn. of course it was yn.
“leave me alone,” she slurred, trying to tug her arm free.
“nope, you’re done.” yn pried the cup from her fingers and set it down.
aeri whined, pushing at yn’s chest. “you’re so annoying.” yn didn’t budge. “yeah, yeah.”
aeri pouted and stumbled, and before she knew it, she was being lifted off the ground.
“what the hell?” she yelped, gripping onto yn’s shoulders as she was thrown over her back. “I forgot you’re an athlete.”
yn adjusted her easily, carrying her like she weighed nothing. “and you’re so lanky how the hell are you doing this.”
aeri kicked her feet uselessly. “put me down, loser.”
“not a chance.”
they passed by yunjin and ryujin, who both raised their eyebrows.
yn sighed. “I’m taking her home.”
yunjin snorted. “good luck with that.”
in the car, aeri was a mess.
she was slumped in the passenger seat, mumbling nonsense, until she suddenly turned her head and stared at yn with glassy eyes.
“I hate that you’re so attractive,” she blurted out. “and dorky. and strong. and cute. and I just wanna kiss you in front of everyone.”
yn’s hands clenched around the steering wheel. “you’re drunk, aeri.”
“so?” aeri pouted.
yn sighed. “just go to sleep.”
when aeri woke up in jimin’s apartment, she immediately knew two things.
one, her head was killing her.
two, she was definitely not at home.
“what the hell…” she groaned, sitting up and rubbing her temples.
“morning, sunshine.”
aeri blinked blearily, turning toward the voice. jimin was sitting at her kitchen counter, sipping a cup of coffee, watching her with a smirk.
“why am I here?” aeri croaked.
jimin took another sip before answering. “yn dropped you off here last night.”
aeri froze. “yn?”
“yeah.” jimin set her cup down. “said you were too drunk to go home alone. figured I’d take the babysitting shift.”
aeri groaned, flopping back onto the couch. 
“kill me.”
“not before you tell me why you were getting wasted in the first place.”
aeri shut her eyes. “no reason.”
jimin snorted. “yeah, sure. you’re you the most calculated, high maintenance, self absorbed person I know. you don’t do anything without a reason.”
aeri peeked one eye open. “was that an insult or a compliment?”
“depends. are you gonna tell me why you were drinking like a maniac last night?”
aeri hesitated.
jimin crossed her arms. “if you don’t spill, I’m kicking you out.”
aeri sighed dramatically, sitting up again.
“fine. but you cannot laugh.”
jimin smirked. “oh, I’m absolutely laughing.”
aeri ignored her and took a deep breath. “I saw  yn with some cheerleader.”
jimin raised an eyebrow. “okay… and?”
“and she was leaning in and yn was just sitting there—” aeri huffed, crossing her arms. “I don’t know, I just snapped.”
jimin tilted her head. “so, you got jealous?”
aeri opened her mouth, then closed it. “no.”
jimin gave her a look.
“fine.” aeri threw her hands up. “yes.I got jealous. ridiculously jealous. stupidly jealous.”
jimin grinned. “I knew it.”
aeri groaned, flopping back onto the couch again. “I’m such an idiot. yn probably hates me now.”
jimin leaned her elbows on the counter. “what exactly did you do?”
aeri stared at the ceiling. “I walked up to them, turned on my mean girl mode, and basically told her she still belongs to me, because of the thing and like completely destroyed all the development we had.”
jimin choked on her coffee. “you what?”
“I know.” aeri covered her face. “it was bad. and then—” she cringed. “yn said she thought we were connecting and I laughed in her face.”
jimin slapped a hand over her mouth, eyes wide. “aeri.”
“I know.” aeri groaned. “I panicked.”
jimin shook her head. “oh my god, you like her.”
aeri scowled. “duh.”
“no, like, really like her.” jimin smirked. “you’re obsessed.”
aeri groaned, dragging her hands down her face. “I am.”
“this is amazing.” jimin laughed.
“it’s not.” aeri pouted. “I don’t know what to do. yn probably thinks I’m an evil, heartless—”
“dumbass?” jimin offered.
aeri glared. “not what I was gonna say.”
jimin rolled her eyes. “okay, listen. I know for a fact yn doesn’t hate you.”
aeri looked skeptical. “how?”
jimin smirked. “because she dropped you off here. if she hated you, she wouldn’t have made sure you were safe.”
aeri bit her lip. “but—”
“no buts.” jimin pointed at her. “you’re going to fix this.”
“how?”
jimin grinned. “she has morning practice. I’ll drive you.”
aeri hesitated.
jimin rolled her eyes. “do not make me throw you in the car.”
Tumblr media
twenty minutes later, aeri was storming onto the field just like first them when yn hit her right in the face.
yn was standing near the goal, foot resting on a ball, when she looked up and saw aeri marching straight toward her.
“aeri—?”
before she could finish, aeri grabbed her face and kissed her.
yn froze, completely shocked, but after a second, she melted into it, her hands gripping aeri’s waist and pulling her closer.
when they finally pulled away, aeri was breathless. “please don’t hate me, I’m sorry.” her voice was quiet now. “I’m, like, in love with you, and iI don’t know what I’ll do if you don’t say anything back to me, because I want you so bad—”
yn let out a nervous chuckle. “I can’t believe you just kissed me.” she smiled, cheeks flushed. “I’ve been wanting to do that for days.”
aeri grinned, pressing another kiss to her lips
TWEEEET.
a sharp whistle cut through the air. they turned to see the entire team watching. and standing at the front, arms crossed, was coach.
yn’s dad.
“now that’s a way to meet the parents, yn get your little girlfriend off the field.”
the team howled with laughter. yn groaned, face turning a shade of red aeri had never seen before.
aeri whispered, “I’ll see you later,” before spinning on her heel and jogging back to jimin.
as soon as she reached her, they both squealed, gripping each other’s arms.
meanwhile, yn stood there, frozen, as her teammates slapped her back and teased the hell out of her.

Invincible!Mark x pregnant reader x Variants!Mark part 4
Tumblr media
Warnings: AFAB Reader, Heavy Pregnancy, Psychological Distress, Possessive Behavior, Multiversal Variants, Angst, Horror Elements, Slight Yandere Themes, Escalating Tension, Action, Desperate Escape Attempt, Early Labor
The world blurred as you struggled against the Variant’s grip, your body trembling with fear and exhaustion. Mark was still fighting, but he was outnumbered—he couldn’t get to you. Panic clawed at your throat.
Then, just as the Variant prepared to disappear with you, a high-pitched screech filled the air. A pulse of energy knocked everyone back, throwing you free from his grasp. Your knees buckled, but strong arms caught you before you hit the ground.
“Got you.”
Cecil.
Your head swam as you looked up at him. His face was set in a grim scowl, but there was relief in his eyes as his agents surrounded you and Mark. The Variants, momentarily stunned by the sonic disruption, snarled in frustration.
“About time,” Mark gasped, blood trickling down his chin as he stumbled to his feet. “They’re not going to stop—”
“I know,” Cecil interrupted. “That’s why we’re leaving. Now.”
More agents fired specialized rounds at the Variants—energy weapons designed to weaken Viltrumites. It wouldn’t hold them for long, but it was enough to cover the escape. Cecil’s men activated a portal behind him, the swirling light casting eerie shadows over the chaos.
“We need to move,” he barked, helping you to your feet.
But then, a sharp pain lanced through your abdomen. Your breath hitched, and your hands instinctively clutched your belly. The world tilted as the pain intensified, a deep, unbearable pressure radiating through your body.
Something was wrong.
“Wait—” Your voice broke as another wave of pain hit, stronger this time. “I—I think—”
Mark’s head snapped toward you, his eyes widening in alarm. “No. No, no, no—”
Cecil cursed under his breath. “Damn it. She’s going into labor.”
The Variants, recovering from the attack, noticed the shift in energy. One of them stepped forward, his expression darkening as he saw your distress. “She’s not ready yet.”
“Like hell you get to decide that,” Mark growled, positioning himself protectively in front of you.
Cecil didn’t hesitate. He grabbed your arm, half-lifting you as Mark supported your other side. “Move. Now.”
The portal hummed behind you. The Variants lunged—but too late. Cecil yanked you through just as they reached out, the portal sealing with a final, resounding snap.
The last thing you heard was their furious screams before everything turned dark.
When you came to, the world was softer—quieter. The sterile scent of antiseptic filled your nose, and the low beeping of medical monitors hummed in the background. You were lying on a hospital bed, the pressure in your belly still there but controlled, dulled by something.
Mark was at your side, his hand gripping yours tightly. His other hand was buried in his hair, his face drawn with worry. The moment he felt you move, his head snapped up, relief flooding his features.
“You’re okay,” he breathed, his voice hoarse.
You swallowed, glancing down at your belly. “The baby—?”
“Still there,” Cecil’s voice cut in from the doorway. He stood with his arms crossed, a rare softness in his tone. “We managed to slow things down. You were too early.”
Your body sagged against the pillows, tension draining from you. The baby was safe—for now.
Mark exhaled shakily, pressing a trembling kiss to your knuckles. “We’re safe,” he whispered. “For now.”
But even as he said it, you both knew the truth.
The Variants wouldn’t stop.
And this was far from over.

Tumblr media
🍎 quick headcanons about the lads guys pt. 2 WOOO!! media added for better experience :9
Tumblr media
⋆ most of the couple tiktok videos you do with caleb are actually his idea. his whole fyp is filled with cute couple trends, and he sends them all to you. he really loved when you picked out his outfit for the h.s.k.t trend and has to fight himself to not wear that outfit daily now. his phone background is you two with the lipstick heart trend on your cheeks.
⋆ rafayel never shows up to your place empty-handed. when you tell him it's okay to not bring you a gift (whether it be flowers, some snacks or pastries, a cute handbag, etc) whenever he visits, he looks at you like you offended him before going "yeah, no. no way cutie." he actually started gifting you more stuff after you commented on it.
⋆ even though xavier's jealous nature is really cute and you don't mind it, he tries his best to keep it at bay. by that i just mean that instead of glaring daggers at a guy who's hitting on you, he starts resting his head on your shoulder from behind and dramatically sighing like a kicked puppy. it works AND you pet his hair, so it's a double win. xavier - 1, the guy who hit on you - 0.
⋆ sylus never tells you, but you quickly figure out that he loves it when you care for him and play with his hair when you two are cuddling. he's a big man and typically has you sleeping on his arm (and he loves it), but at one point, he fell asleep with his head on your stomach while you stroked his hair. when he woke up and you flashed him a warm smile, he almost saw god and thought to himself that he really ought to fall asleep like that more often.
⋆ zayne deliberately leaves his dress shirts at your place, in hopes of seeing you wear them. when he drops by to see you at one point and you answer the door only wearing his shirt, his knees actually buckle and he falls on the floor. you got really worried, and he got really embarrassed, but he gave you some excuse along the lines of "sorry, i think my blood sugar is low right now." you didn't miss how his ears turned bright red tho!
⋆ additional headcanon about zayne because he's my favorite, and i've been neglecting him recently: your phone background is his flushed face covered in lipstick marks, your handiwork. the actual video of you kissing him is the greatest thing in your camera roll — it's zayne growing more and more flushed and giggly as you smother his face in kisses. he could die happy!!
Tumblr media
ok moving on to loser headcanons i need them to lose some aura rq
⋆ caleb never had a musical phase, he says. guess who knows the lyrics to meant to be yours from heathers tho! because that sure as hell isn't gideon! at one point, he got really drunk at the DAA and was belting it out. he also kissed gideon during that drunk episode but that's a story for another day (spreading my caleb bisexual agenda)
⋆ rafayel has edited wikipedia articles to be right in arguments and is not above pouting like a toddler and making you feel bad when you find out. at one point, he started forcing tears out of his eyes and going "no it's fine! you hate me, i get it, your boyfriend's feelings are less important than trivia night, it's fine!" like. he's a loser but a really pretty one so it cancels out kinda
⋆ xavier's the type of guy to go "huh??" at least 3 times when you explain something to him before he finally goes "ohh i get it". he in fact does not get it but he felt you getting worked up and he decided not to hit you with a fourth huh. his survival instincts are good and he'd rather look it up than have you be mad at him #loverboy
⋆ sylus has a really good grasp on his facial expressions, but he will hit a disgusted face when he hears something stupid. like yeah sure big bad unreadable boss and stuff but one time, he hears some guy on the street loudly say the worst take he's ever heard in his life and he can't help the side eye + disgusted face combo. he also stank faces when he listens to good music
⋆ zayne meows at cats. not elaborating on that it's pretty clear LOL but sometimes he'll think of the really cute cat he saw on the street that morning and quietly go "... meow..." greyson catches it and is so in shock, but no one will even believe him if he talks about what he heard ("yvonne you're not gonna believe this i just heard dr. zayne meow" “girl what the hell are you saying”)

Sinister!Mark x Reader
Tumblr media
You're running. The streets are chaos and deep in your heart you understand that there is very little you can do. Running from one person to the next desperately trying to heal who you can, has taken so much out of you . You've been going for hours at this point with no end in sight. The carnage is so brutal you're having a hard time distinguishing one body from the other. When you can you lean down and heal those who are still alive and breathing and point them to the nearest safe house.
Invincible and you had never been close. He was obviously a very nice guy and you could respect him for trying to fight the good fight, but you were support. When the world went to shit you came in after to pick up the pieces so you to never really got to know him. Now you don't know if you'll be able to look him in the eyese without seeing the carnage being created by the other Invincibles around the world.
You were at home when a Mark began reeking habit on downtown Chicago. You couldn't just sit and wait for the fight to be over so you ran to the streets and tried your hardest to help where you could. Which had gotten you caught out without any backup and low on energy.
"It's okay I've got you" You told the civilian you were leaning down to heal.
"Thank you. Oh god thank you I can't feel my legs"
"I'm gonna heal you and then you're gonna have to make a run for the safe house on halsted okay" You placed your hand on his knee and felt some of your energy being sapped away as you fixed his legs.
"You're waisting your time I'm just gonna kill you both anyways." The voice made a chill run down your back.
How could you be so stupid you should have been paying attention. The sounds of destruction had been steadily geting closer, but between your fight to try and help as many people as you could and stop yourself from collapsing everything had turned to background noise. And now he was right behind you.
"Of course I guess if you wanted I could give you a head start. What do you think 10 seconds or 20? I mean it doesn't matter, but time is time." His mocking tone just added on to your hopelessness. You weren't going to make it out of here alive.
The civilian you were helping began to stumble to his street and run as fast as he could. You watched as he tripped over his feet trying his hardest to make use of his head start.
"Aww that's really cute he's actually trying. That's okay I'll make it quick." The Invincible double said. You felt him speed passed you getting dust and dirt in your eyes.
"WAIT NO!" You screamed as you tried to warn the civilian desperately trying to get away. It was to late the Invincible double already had his fist in their stomach up to the elbow.
"Haha sorry about that you just healed that guy right." He finally turned to you. He looked exactly like Invincible except his suit was black and yellow instead of blue and yellow and his smile there was something so rotten about the smile he sent you.
"Well isn't that interesting." He looked at your face and the sinister smile he had on his face began to grow. You could barely breathe and all of a sudden he was directly in front of you scanning your face so close you could feel his breath on youre skin.
"You look just like them." If it was possible his smile got even wider.
You jumped backwards desperately trying to crawl away as fast as possible. It didn't matter. He grabbed your face with a grip so hard that you could feel your jaw straining under the force.
"Now where do you think you're going love. It's been so long since I've seen this face of yours."
"Let go of me I don't know who the hell you are , but just kill me already you asshole." Your voice was shaking, but you were trying your hardest to at least die with dignity.
"Has the Mark in this universe left you to sit here just running around with that fire in you. What a fucking idiot." He finally let go of your face. You turned to make a run for it, but before you could the ground was already disappearing underneath your feet.
"You know in my universe we used to do this all the time. I'd fly you up here and then I'd fuck you above all of these worms who never stood a chance agaisnt me." He was holding you up by your shoulders and shooting into the sky. He watched your face as he spoke those words searching for some kind of reaction all you could do was scream.
"Put me down. Holy shit put me down you crazy son of a bitch." Your eyes were watering from the wind in your eyes and you were so high you could no longer see the Chicago skyline.
"Really you want me to put you down?" He was smiling still laughing at your panicking. "Ok if you say so." And then he let you go.
The ground was geting closer and closer and as you flailed your arms you were certain this would be it.
"Nah just kidding." He said as he swooped in and grabbed you a few miles above the ground.
"Why are you crying love you know I would never drop you." There were tears free flowing down your face now you.
"What do yo want from me. I don't know anything that could help you. I don't even know Invincible that well." Your voice was shot you. It felt like you ahd been screaming for hours you were drained in a way you had never felt before.
"Oh love I don't want anything from you. I never did." His faced softened into something that could almost be viewed as love. He leaned forward and you flinched back, but you couldn't go far as he placed his head in the crook of your neck.
"They took you from me. Turned you against me. Made me have to do something I would have never done If they hadn't left me with no other choice." As he was speaking his hold on you got tighter and tighter until you couled feel your bones creaking.
"But, I've been given another chance and I won't fail you this time." He turned his head against your neck and you finally felt him leave a feather light kiss on your neck.
You thought as fast as you could and finally you reached your arm up and rubbed your hand on his forearm.
"It's okay Mark. I'm right here, but you've gotta let me down you know. You've gotta let me do my job." You had no clue how the other you acted and if you're being honest you just needed to get out of here anyway you could.
"If I let you goback to work I'm just gonna have to kill you again." The saddened ex lover was gone and now it was just the mass killer again.
"Okay okay I won't go back to work then I'll go back to my apartment." You just needed to get out of his hold any way you could if you're being honest. You would have told him you were going to backflip off Sears Tower if it would have gotten him to let you go.
He pulled his head back so fast of he could have gotten whiplash you could have sworn he would have gotten it. There was maic look to his face again.
"Yeah we're going to go back to your apartment. And then we're going to watch (favorite show) and have some pizza. You're a genuis love." He kissed the top of your head and then all of a sudden you were speeding off and were in front of the door to your apartment.
You were staring at it with shaking hands and wide opened eyes. The psycho killer who had already killed one version of you and had killed a civilian diectly in front of you after destroying a city new exactly where your apartment was. That's just fucking great.
"Open the door love." His voice still had that manic edge to it as he stood behind you. You reached into your pocket and fumbled with your keys before you opened the door.
He zipped in immediately and began taking his suit off while floating off the ground.
"Woof I need a shower order the food and I'll borrow some of your clothes okay." He was peeling the bloody costume off in the middle of your fucking living room.
Your eyes nearly popped out of your head as you watched him get undressed. You were seeing parts of Invincible that you really weren't ever supposed to see and holy shit he wasn't wearing underwear. You turned your head and trying to not think about the line of hair that began below his stomach and worked its way down lower than you were ever supposed to see on him.
"I can't order food you destroyed the city remember." Why would you say that your brain was literally short circuiting right now.
"Haa yeah I did whoops guess we'll just have to make something." And then he spead off down the hall to your bathroom. Something in you wanted to keep your costume on if nothing else than just as emotional support since you were trapped in your one bedroom apartment with a fucking serial killer. But the dust and grime had begun to make your skin itch and before you knew it he was out of the bathroom and you were in it.
Sitting on the couch you turned on (favorite show). He layed his head on your lap and grabbed your hand and placed it on his head. You began to work your hands through his hair as he slowly started to loose the tension in his body. Once you finally heard his breath shllow out and tiny snores make their way past his lips you finally hung your head back. Fuck how were you gonna explain this to Cecil.
Grammar mistakes probably I speed wrote this in the middle of the night I can't tell if I wanna write about Conquest next or Batman I love old men I don't know if this really reads like Sinister he feels a little more sidistic than I've made him here
