Everlasting Trio DP x DC Nobody Knows AU Part 9
Part 8
“Nothing? At all?”
“Nothing, Red,” Barbara's voice repeats through the speakers of the Batcomputer, sounding irritated at this point.
“But- I mean, did you try-”
“She's going to come to the cave and shove a Batarang up your ass if you ask her one more time whether she missed something, Replacement,” Jason drawls off to the side. He's reclining in a chair, feet kicked up on a weapons table.
Tim groans. “I know, I know. I'm sorry.”
He's back in the Cave, and so is pretty much everyone else. Turns out he'd caused something of a panic, and it was all hands on deck for a hot second.
When the engineer had density shifted out of his grasp and heckled him from some nebulous spot midair, it had taken only a few seconds afterwards for Tim’s comms to explode with noise.
Turns out nobody had been able to hear anything from him except a constant low static from shortly before the encounter until after it ended, and his mask camera was borked the whole time too.
Understandably, there was some alarm about that. Bruce had ordered everyone back to the cave for a full explanation and conversation on what the hell happened.
“Sit down and tell us what happened, baby bird. You're gonna wear a hole in the floor at this rate,” Dick tells him, a gentle hand on his shoulder nudging him towards a seat.
Tim groans and throws himself into it like a puppet with his strings cut.
“Well he's definitely a meta,” he grumbles. “I never actually laid eyes on him. Wouldn't have even known he was there if he hadn't gotten ghost busted.”
“Ghost busted?” Jason asks, eyebrows raised. Tim huffs out a reluctant laugh, because in retrospect that part was pretty funny.
“His fucking phone went off. All of a sudden the empty air next to me was blasting the Ghostbusters theme song and an invisible man was swearing like a sailor until it cut out.”
Stephanie blows a raspberry in the start of a laughing fit, and suddenly the whole cave is echoing with mirth. It lifts Tim's spirits a little, makes him laugh too.
He means, come on. That has to be the new record for the funniest botched stealth mission, a position previously held by Damian when a stray dog outed him because it smelled the treats he keeps in his utility belt.
The shade of red the demon brat's face was when he had to explain why the mission went sideways was fucking glorious.
“So you've confirmed that we're dealing with a male meta?”
Speaking of the brat.
“Sounded male, and he at least has invisibility and density shifting,” Tim confirms.
“Density shifting?” Bruce prompts.
“Yeah. After the phone went off I couldn't see him but I was trying to figure out where he was. Then the lockbox disappeared too - he can transfer the invisibility through touch, apparently.”
“Huh. Haven't seen that before,” Duke comments.
“Me neither. But I made an educated guess at where I thought he was and grabbed his arm. Had a damn good grip, and then he just…went through me. Like I literally felt something pass through my hand all cold and tingly and suddenly I wasn't holding anything anymore.”
Jason snorts. “Bet that was a kick in the nuts, huh.”
“Come on, Little Wing,” Dick scolds half heartedly. “Be nice.”
Jason rolls his eyes.
“You said ‘at least’,” Bruce says, brow furrowed. “You suspect he has other powers too?”
Tim purses his lips. “I can't be sure, considering I couldn't see him, but…I think he probably has flight too.”
“Flight?” Dick says, furrowing his brow. He crosses his arms and shakes his head, looking both thoughtful and troubled. “No, that's not possible.”
Tim blinks. “What? Why not?”
Dick ‘Be Nice, Little Wing’ Grayson looks him dead in the eyes and says, “Because according to all known laws of aviation-”
“You-!”
The cave is filled with laughter again, Jason throwing his head back and cackling in a way that's particularly irksome. Tim reaches over and shoves at his boots while he's tipping his chair back and sends him toppling to the floor.
Jason flails and fails to save himself, rolling back to his feet and spitting curses with a hint of green to his eyes. Tim freezes at the sight of it.
It's not that he's scared. He and Jason have come a long way, and everyone knows by now what amount of green is actually dangerous. Jason's nowhere near actually losing it right now, he's just annoyed.
What makes Tim freeze is-
“He's been exposed to the Pits.”
Everyone pauses, confused. Jason blinks at him. “Uh…yeah, fucking duh?”
“No,” Tim shakes his head. “No, not you. The Engineer.”
Suddenly there's no laughter anymore. Everyone has gone tense and alarmed.
“Tim?” Bruce prompts lowly.
“I did see part of him,” Tim murmurs lowly, realizing it himself for the first time. “When I grabbed him, there were two bright lights for a second or two before they faded. God, I should have realized- it was his eyes. Like Christmas lights, bright Lazarus green."

Kinktober Day 1
Moniker: Soap Risk Level: Low. Soap is a part-time resident who is detained as needed. He is currently not detained and is visiting freely. Brief: Oral sex, “69”ing. Note Soap has biologically female genitalia with an enlarged clitoris or “t-cock”. He accepts feminine and masculine terms for this. Safeword: The word RED is to be used by any party if at any point the session must stop. If any party is unable to vocalise they are to signal physically by touching their thumb to each of their fingers in sequence to signify RED. At no point should any party be both unable to vocalise and unable to signal physically. In the event that this happens, RED will be considered in action and the session will be stopped.
Thought losing your virginity on the first day might scare you off so I’ve shuffled the plan around. You’ve spoken with Soap before, helped him diffuse a bomb on the Medusa mission. He’s insistent you got along so hope having him first helps settle your nerves. I’m on cameras for this one, so I’ve got your back - Price
Well fuck you sideways, your first sexual experience with another person and Captain John Price was going to be watching. You don’t know how he thought that was supposed to settle your nerves. The poor paper that briefing was on had been twisted to pieces in your nervous hands as you made your way to the room. This was where you’d go everytime, this was where you worked. You’d seen it once and Kate had stressed that it would be thoroughly sanitized and reset after each use to fit whatever purpose it needed to. She further stressed that anybody who entered this room had been tested for any transmittable diseases, sexual, blood borne or otherwise, and would only be permitted entry if they came back clean. That wasn’t terrifying at all.
Did you knock? That would be the polite thing to do. Well the correct thing to do at least, Soap was a Sergeant and while the ranks were different in your service your equivalent would be somewhere around Corporal, a rank beneath him. Did he remember you or did Price just know as his Captain that you had spoken before?
The door opened and you about had a heart attack as Soap stood grinning before grabbing your wrist and yanking you through. You had sort of pictured him as handsome because he had a nice voice, but you hadn’t expected him to be so damn broad. Bomb specialists tended to be a little more wirey in your experience.
“Price said ye were out there having a moment, but I’ve only got the day with ye so cannae be wasting time.”
The room did not look as it had when you had visited it. It was warmer now, more welcoming. The raised platform in the middle had a big bed on it with a soft looking duvet. You couldn’t help but smile seeing all the bedclothes were tartan. So the soldier of the day had some say then.
“Right, first off cannae believe I get ye first. I bitched Price’s ear off but didnae think I had a chance. Very, very grateful tae my bonnie Captain for naw ignoring me though” he said, loudly announcing his thanks and sending a grin to the camera in the corner. “I ken ye probably have a bundle of nerves rioting in that pretty stomach, but ye need tae get over them and get over them fast because I need tae winch your cunt.”
You started choking as a gasp caused saliva to go down the wrong pipe. He laughed and patted your back, or at least he started on your back but his hand very much wandered to your ass and squeezed, hard.
It was a knee jerk reaction. You didn’t fully catch up to what your body had even done until you saw the blood streaming from his nose. Shit. You thought for sure Price was about to march in here and give you a dressing down for punching his solider in the face on your first day as a glorified sex toy.
“S-sorry! I wasn’t expecting you to… I mean I know that’s why I’m here, it was instinct” you blurted, getting increasingly panicked at the feral glint in his eye as he rubbed a hand across his nose which only served to smear the blood everywhere.
“Look at the camera for me hen, aye that’s it. Now tell Price that nice wee safeword so he kens ye remember it. The non-verbal version too.”
You shakily followed his instruction, freaked out at how calm and warm his voice was when his eyes were still manic.
“That should dae it, aye Captain? All mine until ye safeword out now hen.”
He attacked you, no other way to describe it with how fast and violent he was in grabbing your face and shoving his tongue into your mouth. He was still bleeding and you could taste it, could feel it stick to your skin. It’s not like you had never kissed someone before, but you never realised just how another tongue could bully yours, writhing against it and pushing it around at it’s pleasure. Oh fuck, if that’s what it was doing in your mouth… an almost painful jolt shot to your clit and you jumped at the shock.
He led you backwards until you hit the bed and then his hands were gripping the back of your thighs so he could use a combination of strength and momentum to lift you a little and toss you back onto the bed. You stared at him as his mouth broke of from yours with the movement. His face was a mess, blood and saliva coating his lips and chin even as the fresh blood had started to slow from his nose.
“Fucking need this hen” he said, almost a keening whine, as he shoved your legs apart and buried his face between them. “Been dying of thirst, ye need tae drown me.”
It was overwhelming just how desperate he seemed and you were shocked and embarrassed at the whimper that spilled from you when he started to lick and chew on the seam of your jeans. The scrape of teeth through the thick fabric had you feeling your heartbeat throb through your clit and your legs were trying to close, you weren’t sure if it was to escape the sensation or chase it with friction, but he muscled his shoulders between them and gripped hard around your thighs so they were locked open.
“Think ye can soak through them? I can make ye soak through them, fuck” he groaned, kissing and tonguing your jeans like he had your mouth.
It was so erotic and so wrong, he was leaving them marked with blood and spit and you felt powerless to do anything about it. You didn’t know if you were getting wet over it and you fisted the duvet below, the urge to run your fingers under your jeans and panties and check flooding through you. It was as if he knew because the next moment he was pressing the pads of two fingers hard against your opening over the jeans, but it was enough. Your panties grabbed onto the slick that had pooled around your hole and it was like a dam breaking, suddenly you could feel it everywhere.
“I-I-” you started, not actually sure what you needed but needing something.
“Nae patience eh?” he said, lifting his head to peer up at you, the picture of some decadent predator feasting on his prey. “Say please.”
“Please?”
“Say please Johnny, get me naked and eat my cunt.”
You felt like your cheeks had just become about equal to the surface of the sun in terms of heat. You had listened to fucking torture sessions to gather intel but dirty talk from this bloodied creature was the thing that tied your tongue up? There was almost an anger at yourself over it. No wonder you were a fucking virgin if you couldn’t even handle this, they should have chosen one of the confident candidates who would already have made demands of him.
“Naw, stop thinking hen. Please Johnny, get me naked and eat my cunt” he repeated expectantly, keeping his eyes on you even as his head turned and he nipped his teeth into the meat of your thigh.
“…please Johnny, get me naked and eat my cunt.”
He was about ready to cum from hearing you say that particular nickname so sweetly.
“Good lass” he said, planting a kiss where he had just sunk his teeth and wasting no time undoing the button on your jeans and peeling them down your legs, his eyes taking in everything underneath them on the way. “That all for me?”
You had forgotten the prep you had done over the last week. Hairless, smooth, soft. It hadn’t been a plan so much as a mad evening of bathing, shaving and nearly drowning yourself in scented oils and lotions in some sort of panic. Lingerie that you had nearly bailed on because it was so delicate and lacy and see through that it felt a level of sensual you weren’t confident in pulling off was now on full display for him and the fabric was so thin that your arousal was making it cling lewdly.
“Aye, think that’s all for me” he grinned as your jeans hit the floor with a thunk.
Fuck he was a sight. He looked like he had just been tearing into a carcass. You had around 5 seconds to take a breath and try prepare before his head was back between your legs. You didn’t realise how much the jeans had muted the sensations, but now with barely a scrap of thin fabric between your pussy and his mouth you saw stars. There was a scream that you vaguely realised was coming from you. His hair was so soft in your fingers, you felt delirious almost as you mumbled out a question about what conditioner he used and then about died when he chuckled right against your clit before he pulled back and ever so slowly pulled your panties off.
“Fuck that’s pretty” he commented before bringing your panties to his nose and rubbing them against his nostrils.
It broke some of the congealing blood, caused a little trickle to start up again. He didn’t seem to care and after another huff neatly, reverently folded your panties and placed them on a little table at the side. Your shirt he was quick with and showed less care, it going flying to rest on the floor a few inches from your jeans.
“These are pretty too hen, if Price wouldnae gie me a spanking for going off brief I’d fuck them” he said as he squeezed your tits together. “Just a wee taste.”
A wee taste here meant him crushing your tits together so he could suck both nipples into his mouth with such force you bowed off of the bed and felt like the wind had been knocked right out of you. Your bra was taken off and folded with the same reverence your panties had been, placed on the table with pink marks on the cups from that little trickle of blood. Most of the blood around his mouth was gone now, only a pink tinge left among all the spit and arousal.
“Ye ever cum for anyone else before?”
“I… no. I mean I’ve done it myself. Or with stuff to help.”
“Price remind me tae blow you later!”
With that he latched on your swollen clit. At first he suckled, humming as he did which drove you fucking mad. Then he pulled off with a slurp, gathered more wetness from your hole on his tongue and drooled it back on your clit. The tip of his tongue flicked at it rapidly, ramping up in speed as your body coiled tighter and tighter.
The noises were erotically disgusting, wet. You tried to tug his hair to get him to let up because you were going to explode, his writhing tongue was about to send you right over the edge.
“S-stop, gonna cum” you panted, trying to hold on.
“That’s the idea hen.”
“The brief said you wanted to… do other things?”
“Aye?”
He had stopped at least and your body was slowly stepping back from the cliff which felt awful. But the brief said he wanted to “69” so you couldn’t cum this early. You just looked down at him debauched between your legs, waiting for him to move on to the next part.
“When ye play with this fat pussy, dae ye stop at one?”
You felt a little panicked at his question. Theoretically, you knew people with your anatomy could have multiple orgasms. In practice you usually just got off and left it at that. It didn’t feel good to keep touching when you were so sensitive after cumming anyway. You sort of shrugged in response.
“Oh hen, you’re going tae gie me 2 like this, 2 when I eat ye from the back and then we can move on so you can have a taste of me. Thinking at least 3 while your lips are wrapped around my cock.”
“I- what? I don’t think I can have that many.”
“Thought I told ye tae stop thinking?” he said with a wink before he dove back in.
If you thought he was giving you his best before, you were quickly disabused of that notion. It took him around 5 seconds. His mouth latched onto you and his tongue eagerly abused your clit without any respite. You rocketed right back to that edge and went tumbling off, thrashing on the bed while he just pinned your hips down and kept going. Your pussy clenched in waves that seemed to never fucking stop.
It was uncomfortable when the orgasm was done but you were still being stimulated and you tried again to shove him away, but fuck he was strong. He refused to be moved, lapping messily at you with a desperation that gave you goosebumps.
“Stop, I can’t!”
“Ye fucking can” he barked back, teeth scraping on your now very oversensitive clit in warning. “Now get your legs up.”
He shoved upwards with his shoulders while his hands forced your legs back, bending you in half. Your hips were tilted now, both of your holes so fully on display for him that it made some undignified sound of humiliation come from you.
He feasted. No part of you escaped him - he licked the seams where your legs met your torso, he sucked on your lips and you wondered if they would bruise with lovebites, he lapped at your rim and had you screeching when he bullied his tongue in, only stopping when a beep sounded in the room.
“Aww fuck off Captain, her arse is fair game for oral!”
Another beep.
“Killjoy. Sorry hen, nae rest for your delicious wee cunt.”
You knew the tongue was a dexterous muscle, but fuck it was insane how he managed to get so much of it inside your pussy. He massaged your walls, flattened and curled the appendage and then flicked it fast. The barest brush of his pinky on your clit was enough to set you off again. You were sure you were nearly pulling his hair out when you came and he drank it up like wine. Decadently, savouring.
His face was a wreck, strings of spit and cum connecting him to you and then snapping and dripping off when he moved his head further away. There was a little blood around his nose, the rest long gone from all the fluids helping to dilute it. You licked your lips only to taste iron. That was right, he may have gotten wet enough to soak it off, but his blood was still all over you.
Fuck he looked drunk. His eyes were unfocused and dreamy, a dopey smile on his face as he went to his knees and looked down at you splayed underneath him. There was a wet spot, a large one, on the duvet. You felt boneless, like you had run a marathon. You weren’t sure you could move. But despite that you couldn’t help but drag your eyes across his still clothed body.
The brief had said he had biologically female genitals, but that his clit was enlarged. You’d never heard of the term t-dick but now it was all you could think about. You wanted to make him feel the way you did, boneless and ready to sleep for two days straight.
“Ask me.”
“What?”
“Can see ye thinking away hen, ask me what it is you’re wanting tae.”
“Oh…” you said, trying to bring your fuzzy brain back online and be brave. “I want to see you. And uh… you know.”
He stripped his t-shirt off with one arm and it was like a damn porno as he tossed it on the floor.
“Cannae say I do hen, ye need tae tell me.”
You sighed in frustration and squeezed your eyes shut.
“Taste you. I want to taste you the way you tasted me.”
“Aye ye do. Still owe me 2 before that though.”
You shot up. He could not be serious. You were already about dead. He could not actually expect you to cum two more times before you even got to the next part of the briefing. You’d fucking die, you were sure of it. You snarled at him when he went to grab you and it was an actual fight.
Your wrestled with him, feeling the burn of something like humiliation whenever your pussy rubbed up somewhere on his body. At one point you tried to lock your legs around his torso, feeling like fireworks went off when you rubbed against the hair running down past the hem of his sweatpants. You squealed in alarm when he wrestled you off and it left a shining wet streak across his skin. You fought hard but you had no chance against him as he roughly got you over onto your knees and shoved hard between your shoulder blades to pin you to the bed.
Your hips wanted to follow, to collapse down, but he didn’t let them. He bullied his knees between yours to spread them and gripped hard onto your hips to give him control over exactly where your hot, wet cunt was. Perfect position for him to dig in.
Another beep.
He grabbed you by the back of the neck and you whimpered when he wrenched your head up and turned it to the camera.
“Tell him ye still ken the safeword” he growled.
“I still know the safeword.”
His other hand cupped your slippery and unbearably tender cunt and gave a warning squeeze.
“You’ll remember yer manners soldier.”
“I still know the safeword, sir.”
Satisfied he pinned your head back to the mattress, returned his hand to your hip and maneuvered you so your hole was at just the right height for him.
He dug in.
Oh God, oh God from this angle anytime his mouth was at your clit the rest of his face was getting soaked by your gushing hole. He seemed so much closer now, like he was somehow inside you. His beard felt like it was ripping your lips apart and the prickly pins of pain were so sharp against the all consuming pleasure.
He was suctioned to you, only ever pulling of for a second to take a deep, gulping breath. There was a reluctance to breathe, to ever do anything but drink you down even if it meant he was half suffocating himself.
You tried to have any coherent thoughts about this. It was insane. You had signed up to help him get this out of his system but so far you were pretty sure you should be hiring him and not the other way around. You never knew this could be so all consuming, that your whole body would be so easily played by someone. You were at his mercy, every thump of your heart sending blood wherever the hell he decided it needed to go.
The next orgasm was powerful. It sent your body wild, your legs violently shaking and a choking scream fighting past your lips. You fucking hated him in that moment. He was so eagerly eating at your cunt, taking so much pleasure from it. It made you want it. You wanted to eat him out. You wanted to feel what he was feeling. But he wanted another orgasm from you first so he wasn’t stopping even with you screaming at him.
“Fuck you! I can’t go again, I can’t! Let me see you, let me taste you Johnny! It’s not fair!”
You’d lost any sense of shame. You think you might have lost any sense at all when you screamed your throat raw as your body fought the stimulation, tried and failed to get away so then just accepted it.
Cumming this time felt different. It was almost sore to have your muscles contract again, so exhausting you wanted to cry and beg to just sleep.
He slowed down, was gentle in cleaning you up with his tongue. When his grip on your hips loosened you collapsed to the bed, panting.
You could hear him taking his sweats off and it was the only thing to will you to turn yourself over onto your back. You needed to see him. You fucking needed it more than you needed anything as inconsequential as rest.
At first you felt like your brain was shorting out. He was standing at the end of the bed, now totally naked. His body was gorgeous, rugged. Your mouth watered as your eyes trailed down, following the path of hair to his pussy. He certainly hadn’t shaved in a panic like you had, the hair was just as thick between his legs as it was everywhere else. His fingers were lazily playing with his clit and you swore it was a cock.
It stood proudly through the thatch of dark hair, was dripping like you imagined a cock would. But that’s what it was. You understood now why the brief had called it a t-cock. Oh God you wanted to kiss, lick, suck - devour him the way he had you.
“Go on then hen, get that wet wee mouth on my cock” he said, his tone that of a man indulging the whims of some silly creature whose desperation he found cute.
You swallowed thickly, your body slow in moving through the exhaustion as you got to your knees and crawled across the bed to him. At first it was just a kitten lick, a little taste. Sweat, salt and something tangy and sweet. He was so slippery beneath your tongue and it was instinct to lap up the liquid, to keep chasing the strange taste.
“That’s it, good lass. There you go” he said, barely above a whisper as if coaxing some scared prey animal.
You shifted to get a more solid position, knees splaying wide to get you the right height and hands gripping his thick thighs. You needed to taste more, feel more. You fucking needed your mouth on him like you needed oxygen. You needed to drink down his arousal, the proof of what his body thought of yours.
He smiled down at you in tentative delight. You were so gone for this, all that trepidation vanished as you savoured the first tasting of him. No longer the shy thing that he had dragged into the room, now an animal understanding that the feast came before all. He knew the place you had went to couldn’t be permanent but while you were there he intended to enjoy it.
There was no skill in what you were doing, just a clumsy and selfish exploration. Your concept of time floated away as you treated his cunt and cock like the mouth of a stranger in the drunken haze of a club, wet, sloppy kisses against the heat of him.
He was dripping down your chin, the red around your mouth tinging pink and eventually being drowned entirely. His hands were massaging softly on your scalp, your shoulders. You wanted to stay here forever. He could not think of a compelling reason why not.
“Fuck, need tae get your taste back on my tongue” he groaned.
You barely registered your body being moved, only focused on keeping that connection to him. You wanted to crawl inside him, live there. Your nails dug into the meat of his thighs when you muscled your tongue inside his hole and felt the walls of him eagerly try to coax you deeper.
He maneuvered his body over yours and somewhere in the recesses of your brain you knew you should find this dangerous. He was big over you, could choose to drop his weight and smother you. Instead you found it comforting, like a warm nest for him to keep you safe and fed in.
“You’re so fucking pretty hen. Want tae keep you all tae myself.”
“You taste so good” you said, words muffled from the now insistent press of his wet cock on your face.
Everything was so wet, so hot. Touch yes, but scent and sound were both soaking, dripping, gushing. The first time he came you thanked him and begged him for more, more, more as your hips writhed up against his mouth.
--
You were sobbing when you came back online. You had been for a while from how tight your chest felt and the way your eyes stung with dryness. You were crying out broken words, begging him, saying you couldn’t.
“Ye can, one more. Just one more.”
Fuck, everything was tender and sore. No wonder you were such a wreck, your body was too wrung of pleasure that it could only give you pain now. He was relentless at your pussy and when you came this time it fucking hurt. Every muscle was cramping horribly.
“No more Johnny” you whined even as he ground his cock clumsily against your face and moaned through his own pained orgasm.
“Aye, one more. Need it hen, fuck. Could die in this pussy.”
You didn’t know how his tongue kept going, yours was useless now. You could only hold it out for him to rut against. You only knew he came again from how he howled. Your face was so covered in him that another flood barely registered. You really couldn’t anymore. You felt like you were about to die.
“Red.”
You mumbled it so softly and deliriously that you weren’t expecting anything to come of it, but he patted your flank and rolled off of you to lay on his back and pant.
“Jesus Christ hen, where the fuck did Price find you?” he said, voice hoarse and rough.
You couldn’t move. He didn’t seem mad at all that you had safe worded out at least. No, instead he pulled himself up with a long groan to flop down beside you.
“Gie me 20 minutes for a cuddle and a nap then I’ll get ye all cleaned up aye? I’ll let ye use my conditioner.”
And then he was snoring in your ear, his sweaty body wrapped around yours as you drifted off to unconsciousness.
Price was exhausted. He hadn’t intended to wank to you, but you had put those big, wet eyes on the camera and called him sir and then all bets were off. Christ alive the two of you had went for hours, writhing like animals on that bed.
He though after he had cum it would relief the pressure, but then you had so sweetly crawled over to lap at his boy’s cunt and he got hard all over again.
Soap certainly did owe him a blow job. You had been perfect for him, let him push his pleasure too far like he loved. And now there you both were boneless and passed out in puddles of arousal. He groaned imagining how the room must smell.
But he wasn’t needed. Soap was exhausted himself yes, but he enjoyed looking after a lover after such an intense experience and Price would not deprive him of that.
Part of him was tempted to change the plan, get you to one of the residents earlier, one of the ones who would ruin you so badly that you would need Price afterwards.
Thankfully, he was just about a good man when he dismissed the thought.

Blooming Family Part 1 - He Will Come
Pairing: Yautja x Fem!Reader Summary: You were caught three days after you and your son's arrival on earth by an organization called Project Stargazer. Now you both were treated like guinea pigs. No wonder, considering said son was a hybrid of human and Yautja. Cross-posted on AO3: here Warnings: English isn't my first language Word Count: 4,224 Masterlist
⇨ This is based on the scene in the lab where the sedated Yautja-human hybrid is being held captive (movie: "The Predator", 2018). The plot before and after this scene has nothing to do with the fanfic. Either way, I barely remember the movie. I just used the scene for my own scenario.
⇨ Want to join the tag list?
Tumblr media
You had been stupid, so stupid. You should have listened to Mi'ytiar, should have listened to him when he told you to stay on the ship during your stay on earth while your son went hunting. You had insisted on coming with him, as you desperately wanted to see your home planet again.
Not that you missed it. You loved Mi'ytiar, loved to be his mate, loved your life with him and your son on Yautja Prime.
You had just wanted to leave the ship to get some fresh air and see the full moon, which you couldn't see in your new home, when you suddenly were surrounded by soldiers. You didn’t even think about defending yourself, not in your condition. You had let it happen when they grabbed you and put you roughly in one of the black SUVs.
So many questions swirled around in your mind — how did they find you? What about the ship? What did they want with you? Would they hurt you? And what about Akail? Was he hurt?
You hadn’t dared to ask the armed men who were in the car with you. They all had looked at you with different emotions on their faces — disgust, curiosity, anger. One of them wore a grin that made your skin crawl.
When they arrived at their base, you were dragged through many corridors and were examined by — and you thanked God for that — female doctors. They took your blood, forced you into a strange white suit, and put you into a sterile room.
Now you sat in a corner, huddled together. The door was in the middle of the wall on the other side of the room. A camera hung in the corner across from you from the ceiling and had an overview of the entire room. It reminded you of an interrogation room with windows to the left and right of the door, which looked like a mirror from the inside but allowed a glimpse into the room from the outside, and a table and two chairs standing in the middle.
You had pulled your legs to your chest as much as your swollen belly would allow and leaned your head sideways against the wall.
It’s gonna be okay, you thought to yourself, everything is going to be fine.
You didn't know if you were trying to calm yourself down or your pup, who could sense your agitation and responded to you with kicking. You sat up straight in a cross-legged position, wrapped your arms protectively around your belly, and caressed it soothingly.
Don’t worry, little one. We’ll be home soon. Your daddy will come and get us out of here. You have no idea how eager we are to meet you.
Not far from you, Sean Keyes greeted Casey Bracket.
“There you are!” He said as soon as Casey stepped out of the elevator. “Welcome, I–“
Before he could continue, Casey walked straight past him to look at the two metal helmets and something that looked like a gun, everything displayed behind thick glass. None of it was human.
“Alien technology.” She stated in disbelief. “Is that what you wanted me to see?” Casey's eyes wandered to the other showcases that displayed even more weapons and equipment. “Can I take a better look at it?”
“Ahh.” Sean laughed, “But you haven’t even seen the main attraction.”
Casey tore her gaze from an interesting-looking spear engraved with intriguing carvings and looked up at Sean. He had climbed the few steps that led to a glass wall overlooking a mix of operating room and laboratory, and gestured with his head for her to follow him.
Quickly joining him, they both looked down and into the room. It was occupied by many people who, from their appearance, were scientists. There were guards, eight in total, guarding all four doors. Screens hung on the walls and desks carried computers and strange gadgets.
The only thing that got Casey’s complete attention was the table in the middle of the room and especially what was on it.
“Doctor Bracket.”
Casey looked away from the creature and at the man who had spoken to her.
“Would you like to meet the Predator?”
Yes, that’s exactly what she wanted.
Still processing what she had just seen, she followed Sean Keyes into the decontamination chamber. She was given a suit that looked similar to the ones the scientists were wearing in the laboratory. The decontamination process didn't take long and she quickly slipped into the suit.
“Thanks for coming.” The dark-skinned man, Will Traeger, said to Casey as soon as the lab door opened and shook her hand. “I’m sure you have questions.”
“If I’m honest, only two.” Casey answered and followed the man down the stairs. “Why do you call it the Predator?”
They came to a halt in front of the table the creature was lying on.
“It’s a nickname. You know, the data suggests that it tracks its prey, exploits weakness. It seems to, well, enjoy it. It’s like a game.”
“That’s not a Predator. That’s a sports hunter.”
“Sorry?”
“A Predator kills its prey to survive. I mean, what you’re describing is more like a bass fisherman.” Casey simply answered, taking a step closer to the table.
“Well, we took a vote. Predator sounds cooler, right?” Will laughed and received approval from the surrounding scientists. “We found him and his ship. He’s heavily sedated.”
Casey had long stopped listening to him. She was completely absorbed by the creature, or Predator, taking in every inch of it. The physique indicated that it was a male. His height had to be over 2 meters. He had greenish skin that resembled reptilian-like scales. Its head was big and oval in shape. Instead of hair, what appeared to be dreadlocks grew out of it. His mandibles were the most eye-catching feature about him.
Could they be used for defense? And how did the food intake work?
She noticed that even unconscious, he was making a sound that closely resembled a cat's purring.
“You are one beautiful motherfucker.” She finally said.
“I’m gonna guess your second question is why you’re here.”
Casey looked up to Will and signaled him with a nod to continue.
“Our test results yielded something a little… odd.”
Sean, standing next to Casey, handed her a device. She looked back and forth between the two men before accepting it. The screen showed a more complex DNA structure than that of a human, without a doubt that of the Predator.
“Is this a joke?” She questioned in disbelief.
“We ran the genome sequence ten times. This specimen has–“
“–human DNA.” Casey finished stunned.
“Yeah.” Will nodded, “Look, we know about spontaneous speciation. Mostly plants and insects but–“
“But some mammals. The Red Wolf, for example, a hybrid of the coyote and the grey wolf.” Sean interrupted him this time.
“It’s possibly some form of recombinant technology.” Will added.
“I get it. You want to know if someone fucked an alien.” Casey summed it up, finally knowing her purpose here.
“Not necessarily.”
Casey looked questioningly at Will. "Meaning?"
“Meaning, we have a rough idea. We would just like to know the detailed procedure.”
Casey's eyes widened and she looked at him in bewilderment. “You don't seriously expect a woman to procreate with that thing. There's no way that–“
“Oh, there is no need for that.” Sean assured her, “Like I already mentioned earlier, we found his ship thanks to his equipment. But not only that.”
He turned to the largest screen in the room and nodded to a man who started typing on his computer and turned the screen on. It showed some kind of interrogation room. It wasn't long before Casey spotted a woman sitting cross-legged on the floor, slowly rocking back and forth.
“Who is that?” She asked and inched closer to the screen in curiosity.
“His mother.” Sean answered matter-of-factly, folding his hands behind his back.
Casey slowly looked from the screen over to the Predator, then back. “You’re kidding me, right?”
“Not at all.” Will chuckled. “His DNA matches with hers. Although the father’s genetic heritage is more dominant than hers, you can still see differences between this one–” He nodded to the unconscious alien, “–and a homozygous Predator.”
“Wow.” Casey mumbled and returned her gaze to the screen.
The woman now walked in circles through the room, stroking — and the biologist had to do a double take — her growing stomach.
Holy hell, she was pregnant!
“Wow indeed. And not only that but her human DNA has been altered to resemble that of the Predator.”
“We believe it’s a kind of adaptation to the living conditions of his home planet.” Sean started, “According to the blood tests, and we did several because we didn't want to believe the results, this woman is over a hundred years old. We think she was born in the early 1900s, although she looks like she’s in her mid-twenties.”
Casey’s mouth fell open, her heart pounding against her rib cage. “I want to meet her.”
He nodded and smiled at her. “That was the plan. No one has spoken to her yet, not even the nurse who brought her food or was taking her to the bathroom.”
“While science can answer many questions and give us great insight into our being, there are still things that remain unanswered.” Will added, "We don't know when she left Earth or how it was possible for her to reproduce with an alien. We don't know how her DNA changed, and because of that, we don't even know who she really is.”
Casey nodded. “And you want me to get the answers to those questions from her?”
“Indeed.”
Casey was watching you through the one-way window. You were still pacing, one hand supporting your back and the other stroking your stomach in a circular motion. Even though you seemed nervous and scared, you also looked like a proud lioness ready to attack to protect her baby.
“Ready?” Sean asked.
Casey looked briefly at him and nodded.
“Great. We will wait here to watch and listen. In her condition, I doubt she will attempt anything for the sake of her child, but if she does it will only take a second, and security will rush the room.”
“Good to know.” She mumbled before heading to the door.
With a deep breath, she pushed down the door handle.
You caught that movement in the corner of your eye and turned to the intruder. “What have you done to him?!” You immediately demanded hysterically, growling at her like a wild animal. “Where did you take him? Where did you take my son?”
It was good that Casey was the first to speak to you. Probably no one out there had the slightest decency to treat you like a real person and would have strapped you to a table, too, careless of harm to you or your child.
“They took him to a lab and are holding him there. Nobody hurt him, I swear it.” Casey said, raising her hands to show you she meant no harm. “They just want to know more about him and his kind and why he is here, that’s all.”
You stared at her, softly caressing your belly as you pondered her words.
When there was no reply, Casey continued, “I just want to talk to you. We want to know how you… why you…”
“Why I got knocked up by an alien?” You suggested bluntly.
Casey nodded. “Yes. It’s practically unthinkable to come across an alien hybrid and its mother.”
“Where I went after his father took me from earth, it’s more of a rarity than unthinkable.”
Casey took a step forward and hastily asked, “Do you mean you're not the only one? Are there other humans who procreate with them? Are they also studying hybrids and their traits?”
You laughed at her eagerness and walked over to the chair closest to you, sitting down on it. You waved your hand at Casey to do the same, as if you were hinting you were going to cooperate to answer her questions. The biologist glanced back over her shoulder at the reflective window where Sean and Will were watching the conversation. She sat down in the chair opposite of you and looked at you expectantly.
“Before I say another word, I want to see that my son is okay.” You demanded, trying to suppress the tremor in your voice, the very first sign of weakness.
Casey turned back to the windows and waited for someone to come through the door. Instead, the reflective surfaces of the windows turned into screens showing one and the same image — the captured Predator, still tied to the table and asleep.
There was a whimper coming from behind her. When she turned back, she saw tears building up in your eyes and one hand pressed to your mouth. It was surreal to Casey for a human to have such an emotional reaction to an alien creature. On the other hand, this was his mother, unbelievable and absurd as it may seem.
You seemed to calm down, your eyes still fixed on the screen. You nodded to yourself before tearing your eyes away to look at Casey. The windows had returned to their normal state.
“We’re going to start with some easy questions, okay?”
You nodded again.
“Great. First I would like to know your name.”
“(Y/N) (L/N).” You answered.
“Would it be okay if I call you (Y/N)?”
“I would appreciate it.” You said, “It's a nice change from all the other names I've gotten so far.”
“What do you mean?” Casey inquired.
“Alien fucker. Alien whore. Desperate little bitch who thought a man’s dick isn’t enough for her. Nothing I didn't expect from men.” You shrugged, “It just proves once again that Yautja males treat their females with far more respect and honor than a human male could ever comprehend.”
“Yautja?” Casey asked, leaning forward, arms crossed on the tabletop.
“You call them Predator, but their kind is actually called Yautja.” You explained.
Casey nodded and started to play with her fingers, her next question burning on her tongue. “How did you get into this whole thing? How did you get in contact with them?”
You huffed. “It’s quite ironic, you know. On the contrary what you may have expected, he saved me.”
“Saved you from what?”
“Again, men. Four of them. They had followed me into an alley and tried to…” You had to pause for a second.
Almost 90 years ago, you had been afraid when Mi'ytiar had taken you from Earth to bring you to Yautja Prime. But looking back, that fear hadn't been as great as what you had felt at the thought of what those men would have done to you if he hadn't intervened.
“He protected me from those monsters… my own kind.” You let out a humorless laugh. “Yautja take their prey as a trophy after each successful hunt, you know. Not only did he rip their heads off and their spines out, but he also took me. I expected him to hurt me, to keep me as a slave, or… or to do what these men wanted to do to me that day in that alley. I found out later that I was really lucky that he, of all other Yautja, rescued me. It's incredibly rare that one of them takes an interest in a human being. Usually, they kill every last of them. Humans are too weak and too soft, but that’s exactly what he loves about me. That’s why he kept me alive.”
You let out a sigh, considering how much you should reveal about the Yautja culture.
“On the contrary to me, a Yautja female is rough and large, even larger than a male. After all, they are the ones who carry their offspring and ensure the survival of their kind. The males have to fight for dominance and if the male wins, the female deems him worthy enough for mating and submits.”
Casey shifted in her seat. “Did you… did he expect the same from you? Did he force you into submission to…?”
“Never.” You growled protectively, “He never forced himself onto me. Never. He was more patient and understanding than all the human males I ever met in my life. He treated me like I was the most precious thing he had ever seen. Never did he touch me without my permission.”
“Okay, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you.” Casey soothed you.
She had to be more careful and had to see this whole situation through your eyes — you were separated from your son and held at a facility that was examining you both while you had to worry about your unborn baby.
“Do you want to tell me about your relationship with him? Your, uhm…”
“He is my mate. My Life Mate.”
“Life Mate?”
“Female Yautja can mate with multiple males and give birth to their children, but some also choose a permanent mate. You could compare it to one-night stands and marriage, only you can't divorce. It's not called Life Mate for nothing. You are bonded to each other for the rest of your life and they live for hundreds of years.”
“Can I know the name of your Life Mate?”
You eyed Casey briefly, looked over her shoulder at the reflective windows then at the camera in the corner, and then back at her. “His name is Mi'ytiar. He is the leader of his clan.”
Casey sat up straight. “They live in clans? Like wolves in packs or horses in herds?”
You nodded. “With similar hierarchy dynamics, yes. There are many clans on their home planet, each living peacefully on their own. Sometimes clans visit each other, hunt together, celebrate together. That's how I found out that I'm not the only human on this planet.” You said, “But apparently I’m the only one who mated a clan leader. Most of them are expected to have a strong successor to take after them and Mi'ytiar, of all Yautja, ended up with a weak little human to bear his pups.”
Jackpot, Casey thought.
She finally got to the part that intrigued her the most — how was it humanly possible that you got pregnant, how was it possible for you to carry the child of an alien, and how did it not kill you?
“Since Mi'ytiar has fully committed himself to me, it was up to me to bear his offspring. The Yautja of his clan never dared to say anything. I’m the clan leader's mate, after all. But I noticed it in the way they treated me and looked at me. They knew it wasn’t possible for me to carry his children.”
You looked down at your baby bump and returned to caress it. It seemed to keep you calm.
“At that point, that fact made me really upset. I got to know their culture and learned everything there was to know about them. I even started learning their language. I fulfill any task assigned to a clan leader's mate. I make my mate happy and proud. But I couldn’t give him a child.”
You looked up and into Casey’s eyes.
“Mi'ytiar is very attentive and he soon noticed that something was upsetting me. Apparently, he was the only one who hadn't thought about his offspring at all.” You paused for a second to smile, remembering his reaction when he found out that you wanted to carry his pups. “The second he knew he wanted to keep me around when he took me away from Earth, he injected me with his blood. No matter how many times I've been called fragile and puny, the human immune system can sometimes work wonders. His blood had slowed down my aging and allowed me to survive on his planet. So we visited a healer to finalize my life as his Life Mate.”
Your cheeks flushed as you thought of how Mi'ytiar hadn't hesitated to drag you home and how you both had spent several days in your bed, or nest as he called it. There had been hardly a moment when he wasn't inside you. The image of his beautiful mate, his love, carrying his pup in her belly had made him feral.
It hadn't been long before his seed took. The other Yautja had a surprised but satisfied reaction when they saw that their leader was about to become a father. That’s when they finally started to treat you like a part of the clan. You had fully proved yourself, proved you could provide for the clan. You were finally one of them.
Akail's birth was hard. It felt like he was tearing you apart from the inside out. But thanks to the injections of Mi’ytiar’s blood and the additional help of the tribal healer, your body strengthened enough that you didn't die, even though it felt like it. You were crying and smiling with your mate at your side, holding your little bundle of joy in your arms.
He looked just like his father, no indication that his mother was human. However, his animalistic features were a little softer, difficult to recognize unless you were the mother. While you were being tended to, Mi'ytiar took his son in his arms to proudly introduce him to his clan.
Fondly, you thought back to one moment, a core memory — Mi'ytiar, lying on his side with you snuggled against him, both naked and partly covered in fur, and little Akail, just ten hours old, resting on your chest. At that point, you were so incredibly happy.
It sounded weird and absurd that this was your life and no human could ever understand, but you would never trade it for anything in the world.
“What’s the catch?” Casey asked after a while of watching you quietly stroking your belly.
“Huh?” You looked up.
“I don't think you're telling us all this without an ulterior motive. So what’s the catch?”
“I want to quench your thirst for scientific knowledge and in return, I hope you will release me and my son. There is no need to keep us here if you get all your answers from me.”
Casey started to shift back and forth in her chair. “I don’t think that will be possible. There are still things that we–“
“Listen, I have cooperated in the hope you will let me and my son go if you have what you want. You won’t like what will happen if we are not soon to be freed.”
Casey glanced over her shoulder for what felt like the hundredth time, unsure of what to do or what to say.
“I promised him to contact him every day, you know. My mate.” You said, pride permeating your body. “And do you know what it will tell him? The silence?” Your question was obviously rhetorical. “It will tell him that something happened to me and therefore also to his son because Akail would rather die fighting for his mother and his father knows that.”
Casey gulped. The threat was clear as the day.
“He will come and not alone. Do you really think you stand a chance against them?” You laughed, now more confident. “The human nature is arrogant, thinking they are superior to everyone. Eventually, that will be the reason for your extinction. Your haughty stupidity will be the death of you.”
“(Y/N)–” Casey tried, but she was interrupted.
“No, you will listen to me just like you've been doing for the last twenty minutes now. I have lived among them for decades, almost a century. I learned from them, I’m one of them. Stand between a Yautja and their Life Mate and it will end deadly for you. Stand between a Yautja and their Life Mate who’s pregnant and I promise you, you will beg for them to kill you.”
“(Y/N), there is nothing in my power to help you. I was simply summoned here as an expert to examine this Yautja, your son. I can’t–”
“You will. And I'm not just talking to you in this case.” Your eyes wandered from her face to the windows and nodded to the people you assumed to be standing behind the glass, watching you. “I’m talking to them, the ones who have the power. Set me and my son free and I promise you nothing will happen to any of you.”
Suddenly, a blaring alarm sounded, startling both Casey and you. Instinctively, you wrapped an arm around your stomach in a protective manner.
“Code Red. Subject Predator is on the loose.”
A shuddering sigh of relief left your lips as you slowly began to smile. You knew they couldn’t keep Akail immobilized for long.
One of the things he had in common with his father was that he was just as protective over you as he was. He would come to look for you.
Casey had already jumped out of her chair and was talking frantically to the people on the other side of the one-sided window.
You began to talk to your pup again, “Your mei'hswei is coming, sweetling. Soon the three of us will be back with daddy.”

Brotherly Approval
quinn hughes x nhl player!reader
note: I really liked the request and even though im not super proud of this im learning that not everything has to be perfect as long as it's enjoyable for y'all to read
Tumblr media
After spending two weeks with Y/n’s parents in Montreal, the couple made their way to the lake house. They were now getting close to the house so of course Y/n was thinking of everything that could ever possibly go wrong. Y/n had met Quinn’s family before, but they weren’t really official at that time, only having met them after games but with the possibility of cameras around it wasn’t what she wanted it to be. But now that she was staying with them for the summer it was time to make a good impression.
“But you’ve already met them.” “Well yeah, but that was just as your teammate… who you occasionally slept with, but now they’re meeting me as your girlfriend. It’s completely different.” “Clearly.” “I don’t appreciate your attitude.” “I was agreeing with you!” “No you weren’t.” They playfully fought back and forth a little more before Quinn pulled into the driveway of the infamous lake house.
Y/n was right, meeting them was different this time. Instead of a quick ‘hello’ then going on her way she was cooking dinners with Ellen, talking to Jim about off-season training, and spending days with the group on the lake. 
For once everything was good. And she was so thankful, she was with the man she loved, without herself in her own way of that. And he loved her back.
-
They’d been out on the lake for a while now, a couple were jumping in now that they were in a good spot. Y/n stood from where she sat next to Quinn and took off her shirt, which was actually one of Quinn’s old UMich shirts.
Subtly Quinn looks her up and down, admiring her body in her bikini, he notices the string on the side of her hip, seeming to want to come loose. He stops her wordlessly with a hand on the inside of her thigh and softly he pulls her more in front of him. Y/n seemed unbothered as she continued talking to Trevor who was in the water.
Luke glanced over hearing the girl’s laugh, as well as Trevor’s loud voice that was unmistakable, he watched his brother turn the girl so he could tie the otherside tighter and gave her a tap on her ass when he was done. 
The small moment, something that seemed meaningless, meant so much. The way Y/n was so comfortable, not for a second questioning why her boyfriend was messing with the strings of her bikini in public. And the way Quinn gave the action no thought. It made Luke hope he found that. Someone he was effortlessly comfortable with.
-
Y/n came back from the bathroom, deciding instead of sitting back on the chair to sit on Quinn’s lap. She was tired and needed the touch of her boyfriend, she knew he wasn’t big on pda but being this tired she wasn’t really thinking.
Quinn didn’t think too much of it, taking his phone into one hand and spreading his arms for her to sit. She sat sideways on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck then giving him a forehead kiss before laying her head on his chest. He also gave her a forehead kiss when she settled after he pushed the hair out of her face.
“Hi.” “Hi.” 
Jack turned his head after hearing the loving couple muttering to each other. Quinn had ever been this comfortable with pda from a girl in front of him ever. He couldn’t hear what they were saying but the smile on Quinn’s face and Y/n hiding her in his brother’s neck, he assumed he didn’t want to know. 
His assumption was proven right when Quinn lifted both of them from the couch and said they were going to ‘bed’. He couldn’t take his eyes away from them, he could tell Quinn was so happy. 
“He’s happy.” Jack said, glancing at Luke who was sitting next to him, Luke without looking away from the video game he was playing said, “Yeah he is. Y/n’s good for him.”
-
Lining up her shot, focusing and trying very hard to tune out the noise in the room as she plays pool against Luke. Softly hitting the white ball just enough for it to hit the striped ball into the corner pocket. Luke then circled the table, trying to find a shot. Y/n was smiling, she could tell she was going to win.
Quinn was on the other side of the room, he sat on the couch only half-listening to the conversation he was in with Jack and Brady. He couldn’t help it, he loved seeing his girl smiling, and he really loved seeing her get close to his brother’s.
“Q! Bro, were you listening?” “Kinda.” He replied to his brother’s annoying interruption from his favourite pass-time; watching Y/n smile and listening to her laugh. Getting a hit on his knee by said annoying brother he breaks his gaze from the girl to look back at the boys.
“What?” Brady was no longer there, unbeknownst to the man Jack had politely shooed Brady off, he got it he had a brother. “Damn, don’t have to be so annoyed. I just wanted to say I was happy for you. And that except for the fact that she loves you, she seems really cool.” “Aw gee, thanks.” “Me and Luke were talking when y’all went to ‘bed’ the other night. We both really like her.” 
Even though they joke a lot, Jack and Luke’s opinion meant a lot to Quinn; they were brothers. And hearing he had his little brothers’ approval of the woman he loved made him really happy. Though he’d probably only admit that to his mom and Y/n. 
“Thanks, man. Means a lot.” Jack got up with a nod and a pat on his brother’s back as he made his way to get another beer.
“Quinny! I won!” Her excited words cut Quinn from his thoughts, smiling when he saw how happy she was and moved her name up on the pool leaderboard.

Tumblr media
“OH, I also receive threats from tifosi. Things like "You are a traitor, you have left Ferrari for the enemy."
"Why did you leave Ferrari?" The interviewer, sitting in front of her but out of the eye of the camera, asked her.
The twenty-two-year-old Arabella let out a laugh in a snort raising her hips to get more comfortable in the armchair “Ferrari was not very... kind to me so I stopped being kind to Ferrari”.
Two, almost three, years earlier, an eighteen-year-old Arabella was sitting in an uncomfortable chair without being able to avoid comparing the beginning of her day to that moment. The cold office did not look anything like the warm room, the uncomfortable chair could not be compared to the comfortable and soft bed and, of course, the look that Mattia Binotto was giving her was the opposite of the affectionate and warm look that Charles had given her when she had woken up in his arms.
She looked up at her manager, who watched her standing behind Ferrari's boss, with his arms crossed over his chest and serious face. Next to him was Charles' manager.
She looked down at her hands where her fingers had begun to play with the rings that occupied the opposite fingers. She wanted to look at Charles to see a smile, a look or at least feel his hand against her giving hers a squeeze trying to say that everything was going to be fine but she preferred not to do it.
"I'm going to get straight to the point, I don't want to waste some time we need" The Italian's black curls peeked out under the red cap when he shook his head looking at his wrist where a watch was. He looked up to the front again to see his drivers “Are you dating, yes or no?”.
A deep silence crossed the room after the question while the three "adults" looked at them expectantly. The silence was clear but for Arabella there was a lot of noise in the room, she could hear her heart beating in her ears, Charles' breathing next to her, the annoying noise that Binotto's fingertips made when he hit the glass of his desk.
When he saw that they didn't answer, the Italian let out a sigh “I need you to tell me the truth. It's not that I care who you sleep with but the men above seem to care and they don't find it funny their drivers dating” He looked at them desperately “You can lose your seats in Ferrari because of this, guys”.
"It would be a breach of contract," Nicolas, the manager of the 16, said in a sigh. He looked at his client with severity “Not only would you lose your position in Ferrari but you could be sued”.
An alarm began to sound non-stop in the head of the youngest in the room, suddenly she felt a dizziness and her chest contracted. She thought of her parents, of her brother, of her eleven-year-old self. It would be a disappointment for them.
Everything she had fought for would go to hell in a second.
She dared to look at Charles sideways and when she did she had to take a breath, he was already looking at her. She separated her gaze from his and lowered it to the ground, her hands began to play with each other again before she squeezed her jaw and looked up: looking, for the first time since she had entered the room, at their boss.
"We're just friends, can't friends hold hands?" A crooked smile slipped down her lips while she shrugged "I'm sorry, I can't help it, I'm very affectionate. You can ask Carlos, Lando or anyone, I'm always holding hands with them or hugging them”.
The eldest of the room turned to her manager looking for confirmation and when he saw Nick nod he let out a sigh of relief that almost went unnoticed by the others present. He turned his gaze to the young duo in front of him and nodded to himself "Well, then there's not much to say. You are free to go”.
The first to get up from the chair was the girl, who began to go to the glass door wanting to get out of there as quickly as possible. She heard the chair in which Charles was sitting crawling on the floor and a short time later she felt his presence behind her. She placed her hand on the doorknob ready to leave but the voice of the team boss stopped her.
"Avoid expressions of affection in public, please. We can let it go once, but twice...”His tone was calm but it hid something behind his words, the girl didn't want to jump to conclusions but could swear that it was a threat. She knew that the words were for the both of them, but then, why did she feel his eyes only on her?.
She heard Charles' voice respond with a "Yes, sir" while she turned again to get out of there once and for all but then she heard her name with a slight Italian accent overflowing through the white walls causing her hand to freeze on the doorknob, she closed her eyes strongly waiting for the worst.
"I'm sorry for what has happened in Twitter, the advertizing team has already taken care of everything. I can't even imagine what you've been through” His words were nice and even somewhat kind but the tone with which he had said them made it clear that those were not the feelings he really felt towards the girl. She looked at him over her shoulder, ignoring the questioning expression on Charles' face and the frown of her manager, and nodded before running out of there.
She passed through the garage aware of the not at all disguised looks of the team on her, she accelerated the pace wanting to get out of there as quickly as possible.
She needed to be alone, get away from reality even if it was for ten minutes. She felt that at any moment she was going to faint.
She went to her driver’s room, she was mentally grateful that the area of the rooms was empty, she hurried to close the door but Charles' foot in the middle prevented her from doing so. She looked up slowly over the boy's leg until she reached his face, she snarled.
"Move”.
“No”.
"Charles, move” She pushed the door but with the boy's foot in the middle it didn't move too much. She looked at him angrily “Remove it or I'll destroy your foot”.
"We have to talk about what has happened, Bells" He looked at her pleadingly but she still didn't remove her expression from her face.
"There's nothing to talk about" She snarled, squeezing her grip on the doorknob "Everything has already become clear in there”.
The Monegasque bit his lower lip, this could not be happening. Only four hours ago they were lying in bed kissing until they were out of breath. He looked at her face, her precious face, and cursed himself for having fallen into her charms. Because of them, they were now on a thin line that threatened to break. He felt guilty, he was the one who had kissed her, he was the one who was looking for her, he had started everything.
On the other hand, he was angry, with Binotto, with him and right now with her. Why did she have such a hard time talking about things? Why did she run away at the first change? He thought that maybe it was because she was younger than him, after all, they were three years apart and she was only eighteen, she was a still a kid.
He sighed leaning his forehead on the door “Whether you like it or not, we have to talk”.
A silence formed between the two that was soon interrupted by the girl's sobs trying to escape through her throat, he heard her sip her nose.
"What do we have to talk about, Charles?" She no longer sounded angry but sad and hurt, her voice trembled "We can't be together, if we do we will lose our seats. Everything is against us”.
A puncture made a hole in the male driver’s chest “So that's it? Don't you want us to be together?”.
She opened the door and pushed him into the room, closed the door quickly. Unfortunately, now they couldn't risk anyone seeing them arguing or anything. Now they would have to think very carefully about what their interactions would be like both in public and in private, you never know because as her grandmother said "the walls have ears and eyes."
Charles dedicated himself to observing her, her green eyes were already injected with blood and her cheeks wet. Her nose was red. He felt even worse because he knew it was his fault.
"It's not that I don't want to be with you, it's that I can't!" She exclaimed frustrated. She was tired, she felt that all this was way big for her. Her anxiety didn't help the situation too much and that she had little experience in couple arguments wasn't very helpful either. She moved her hands in front of her showing her frustration, she didn't really know how to express her feelings or her thoughts “I can't risk everything I've achieved, everything I've suffered for”.
"And you think I haven't suffered?" He looked at her in disbelief "I have also suffered to get here. It took me a long time to get here, you know?”.
An ironic smile stuck on her lips as she snorted “You have grown up with money, with friends and a dick between your legs. I didn't. I hardly had any money to eat, the other children didn't want to be my friends and I was a girl. You don't know how difficult it is to be a girl in this world and much less in a sport in which there are only men. So yes, it may be that you have suffered, but I don't think you have suffered the same as I did”.
"I understand, but you can't run away just like that" He tried to touch her arm but she moved away, he licked his dry lips and frowned feeling rejected "What did Mattia mean by what happened in Twitter?".
He observed how the color went away from her skin and how her face deformed showing several emotions that he didn’t know how to decipher although he could differentiate the fear from the others before faking a look of indifference “I don't know”.
"Yes, you do" He raised his arm pointing to her face "You have it written all over your face, don't lie to me”.
"I'm not lying to you”.
"Then tell me!".
"There's nothing to tell".
Both began to raise their voices, one more fed up than the other of the conversation. It was clear that neither of them wanted to have that conversation but, unfortunately, you don't always have what you want.
Charles' face began to take the same color as the red that decorated some of the walls and objects of the room, a vein began to take shape on his forehead “Let me help you, Arabella! I'm here for you, it's not that hard, fuck!”.
"Maybe not for you, but for me it is!" She shouted back, her eyes getting redder and red as tears ran freely down her cheeks. She put a hand to her chest and pulled her shirt “I feel like I can't breathe every time I want to explain how I feel and you want me to let you help me because...don't you feel connected to me or something like that?! I'm sorry, okay?! I'm sorry I'm not like the other girls you've dated, I'm sorry I can't tell you at all times what I'm thinking or feeling!”.
Finally the silence was present between them, the only thing that could be heard was the girl's quick breathing and how the boy absorbed his nose from time to time. Both were with red eyes and soaked cheeks.
Finally she let out a sob breaking the silence, wiped her nose with the sleeve of her red sweatshirt and gave him a sad smile “I'm sorry, but I can't risk it”.
"Ma belle, I..." The angriness that ran through his body was still there but now Charles felt bad, bad because she was right.
She took a breath of air feeling an anxiety attack cover her body, squeezed her lips trying to swallow the sob that was on its way down her throat and looked at him with her eyes bathed in tears "Everything has gone very fast and look at us" She pointed between the two while shaking her head "Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. We should give ourselves some time”.
And with that she turned around and, again, she ran out of there, leaving Charles trying to pick up the pieces of his broken heart from the ground.
Tumblr media
“ELVIRA, Elvira...” The tall man's gaze moved non-stop throughout the red garage, trying to find the black and smooth hair between the sea of red shirts.
He clicked his tongue rolling his hand in the bicep of his little girl's engineer, Alexander raised his neck to look at him curiously.
"Have you seen Elvira?" He asked urgently to which the eldest smiled broadly, kneeling his index finger in the chest of the tall one, he looked at his finger frowning before turning his gaze to the man.
"I knew that there was something between you two" He also clicked his tongue shaking his head while the blond looked at him as if a second head had come out on his shoulder.
He began to question whether that man was in a good mental state to be a Formula One engineer but he ignored it, it was not the time.
"Have you seen her yes or no?"
"Ah, yes, yes" He took off his glasses and wiped them clean with the edge of his red polo shirt before pointing in the opposite direction "I think I saw her go around there”.
He sighed a thank you before starting to jog in that direction. He felt a bad feeling on his chest, he knew that something was not right as soon as he left the office of the head of the team. Had he heard wrong or had Binotto threatened Arabella? Well, technically he had threatened both of them but while he was doing it, he could see his gaze on the girl more than on the monegasque.
He moved in the direction of the cafeteria, he lightened his step when he saw the black, long and smooth hair move on one side on the fabric of the red polo shirt that covered Elvira's back. He approached her exclaiming her name, making her stand in her place and turn to look at her.
"What did Mattia say?" She asked him once he was close to her. The publicist observed him worried because although she knew Arabella for a short time, she had taken affection for her and was worried about her.
He took her by the elbow and started pulling her “Come, we have to talk somewhere where they don't hear us”.
The woman's frown furrowed as she looked at the back of the blond's head, beginning to feel anguish in her chest “It was that bad?”
He pulled her until he found a small space between garages, they both got into the small "alley" hoping that there was no one nearby to listen to them.
"Nick, can you tell me what happened?!" Elvira was already hysterical, her coworker was getting on her nerves with so much secrecy.
He raised his hands trying to calm her down "Well, okay, okay" He put both hands on his hips and took a breath “I have the slight suspicion that Binotto has threatened Arabella”.
"What?" She looked at him strangely "What do you mean, has he threatened her?".
"He was scolding them over the photo that has gone viral but his gaze was on her all the time, it was as if Charles was not present. And in the end he said something like "it can't be repeated again" and, seriously, Elvi, he just looked at her!”
"But, it doesn't have to. Arabella hasn't done anything wrong”.
"Not everyone likes a woman in Formula One, Elvira. Mattia may be one of them”
"But he has been treating her well so far”.
"Maybe he was trying to be professional until he saw the opportunity" He sighed running his hand over his face showing his frustration.
Maybe they were taking things out of context but when there was as much money involved as there was in Formula One, neither of them was surprised that the situation was true.
Both remained silent, weighing the situation and the consequences it would bring with it if it were true.
The woman with pale skin like milk bit her lower lip “Do you think she has noticed?”.
"I know she did. Arabella is an observer, of course she has noticed” He nodded, turning his head to look for something to sit on. There were a couple of boxes so he took a few steps back and sat on top of them, he really needed to sit down. He felt that his blood pressure was raising.
"And what are you going to do?".
"For the moment, try not to get her into some scandal that involves Leclerc, keep an eye on Mattia and pray that these two years will pass quickly and without any problems”.
"And when her contract with Ferrari ends?".
"Last month Toto Wolff made it very clear that he is interested in Arabella, Zak and Christian are also looking to sign her" He denied with a smile on his face, but it was not a smile of joy but one of incredibleness.
"Horner? I don't think it's a good idea for her to go to Red Bull, not when they have Verstappen”.
He nodded in agreement with her “Yes, they would belittle her as they do with Pierre but if she goes to Mercedes they would do the same, they have the five-time champion as the leading driver”.
"Valtteri doesn't seem very unhappy" She crossed her arms resting his back on the wall.
"This sucks" He let out a sigh, throwing his head back "When she was in Formula Two, everything was much easier. I miss that”.
She looked at him with empathy “But now she is in Formula One. She is going to be a star, Nick”.
"But the stars fall from the sky and I don't want her to be hurt. You've already seen what they say about her on the internet, she's just a little girl!” Unintentionally, his head revived yesterday when his was in his hotel room watching a chinese romantic comedy and suddenly his phone seemed to explode from all the notifications he was receiving. He almost started to cry when he read the things people said about Arabella.
"She is a little girl who drives a car at three hundred kilometers per hour defying death every weekend. She is a little girl who has entered in Fotmula One, something that no little girl has been able to achieve for many years” She approached him looking at him with sadness because she knew it hurt. I knew that the girl was the closest thing he had to a daughter “You know she's not just a little girl”.
"But it's been so recently that her race suit was bigger than her" An expression of melancholy crossed his face as he remembered a little Arabella fighting with her race suit so that it didn't fall off her waist.
"I know that you've known her for many years and that you see her as a daughter and that's why it hurts you that all this is happening because you know that it also hurts her, but it's her dream, isn't it?" She looked at him expectantly and after a few seconds he nodded.
He began to play with his hands, a bead bracelet, clearly made by a little girl, peeked out of the sleeve of his left arm attracting the woman's attention. It was seen that it was old because the beads were white but with pieces of colors staining them indicating that they had lost the color and the rope on which it held itself seemed to be struggling for every second of it’s life.
She was able to appreciate the letters forming a 'Nicky ♡'.
"I have shed sweat, blood and tears for that girl since I met her ten years ago" He began to play with the bracelet, an act he did every time he was nervous "And I have never asked for anything in return, only that nothing ever happened to her but now there are fifty thousand people saying dirty shit about her on twitter, her boss seems to hate her and I don't know what to do. I always know what to do but not now” The air got stuck in his chest and his voice trembled becoming hoarse “And I can't ask her because she has trouble letting people help her, now I never know what she's thinking and I know that her anxiety is not helping. And I'm afraid because I'm the one who must protect her, her parents gave me that honor and now I can't do it”.
She stroked her arm to tell him that she was there for him, she felt a tear running down her cheek "You're doing well, Nick. Just... talk to her and make it clear that you are there for her.”
The man let out a little laugh “I wish it was so easy”.
Tumblr media
“AND Arabella Torres crosses the finish line two minutes apart from Marcos Gómez!
From ear to ear, the smile of the eleven-year-old girl couldn't be bigger. From the podium she looked at the audience and smiled even more –if it was possible– when some hands showed up in front of her and extended the trophy. Her small hands took it between tremors, she analyzed it for a few seconds before lifting it over her head. She looked at her podium teammates waiting to see their smiles but it wasn't like that, both children looked at her seriously before looking at each other sharing a look of displeasure.
Suddenly her smile no longer reached her ears.
She lowered the trophy and after the photos she got off the podium, trying to find her parents. She pulled the brilliant trophy without much desire going to where they decided that she would meet with her family after finishing the race.
"I'm sick of her" The voice of the second winner of the day filled her ears, she frowned and hid behind a wall of one of the trailers.
Listening to other people's conversations is wrong, Arabella. Her mother would have said but she couldn't help it.
"I don't understand what she is doing here" Another voice joined him "She's a girl! This is not for girls”.
"My father said that they let her win because her family is very poor”.
"In addition to the fact that she is very annoying, I hate her. She gives me a headache just for listening to her”.
"She's not even good at driving”.
"She thinks she is a big deal for being the only girl but she'll never get to anything”.
Maybe she should have thought more about what her mother told him and not let curiosity win her over. Because as they say, curiosity killed the cat but this time it killed the heart of little Arabella.
A pout began to threaten to be present on her small lips, she released the trophy and turned around ready to run away but her body crashing into a larger one prevented her from doing so.
"I'm sorry" She murmured, passing her small hand formed in a fist through her eyes, trying to wipe away the tears.
"Don't worry" The man bent down to see her better, he extended a tissue to her "You're today's champion, right?".
She frowned slightly when she heard him speak in english and let out the smallest of sighs, it's not that she was bad at english but she still didn't speak it fluently and it was a little tedious for her to have to be speaking in another language being sad.
She looked up a little, enough to see the tissue in his hands and accepted it murmuring a "Thank you" before wiping her face, once she did she looked at the man.
"Sebastian Vettel" A gasp came out of her little lips when she realized that he was the Formula One driver. She couldn't believe it, it was Sebastian Vettel!
The german laughed "Yes, that's me. What's your name?”.
"Arabella" She said and he extended his hand to her, she looked at him curiously.
"Nice too met you, Arabella” Between his gigantic hand he took hers and waved them up and down "Now, can you tell me why you were crying? Are you lost? I can help you find your parents”.
"No, no, I know where they are" The tissue moved with every gesture that the little girl made and Vettel smiled again, the girl seemed adorable with her big green eyes and dressed in her little race suit.
He had always wanted to have a daughter, he was still very young but he was sure of it and even more so after seeing little Arabella.
"Well, then?".
He regretted asking because he quickly noticed that she was uncomfortable, he squeezed his lips in a thin line waiting for the girl to say something. He opened his mouth to talk because it seemed like she wasn't going to tell him anything but he shut up when she suddenly answered.
"The other children hate me for being a girl" She shrugged, looking down at the tissue in her hands, began to play with it while a sad smile stuck in her lips "It’s okay, not always people have to like me”.
A puncture made a hole in the blond driver's chest. How is it that a little girl of nine, ten or eleven years old –he wasn’t very sure about her age– could speak like that? He grimaced by responding to himself, probably because she was already used to being rejected.
He looked at her with sympathy “That's true, not everyone will always like you and that's why you don't care. You have to ignore what they tell you or think, the only important thing here is you”.
Arabella looked at him with bright eyes and admiration coming out of every pore of her body because one of her favorite Formula One drivers was there in front of her giving her some advice. A piece of advice that she would take very serious.
"Seb, Seb!" A blond boy with blue eyes shouted the german's name as he ran towards them. Arabella looked at him cautiously, she didn't want another boy to make fun of her, much less in front of the next Formula One champion.
The older blond turned as soon as he heard the boy's voice and could swear that if he had looked in front of a mirror he could have seen a light bulb light up above his head. He smiled at the boy when he finally arrived next to them.
"Seb, dad is looking for you" He said between accelerated breaths, swallowed saliva and looked up, colliding with that of the mysterious girl who was with her father's friend. He frowned.
"Yes, I'm coming" Even without erasing his smile, he placed a hand on the boy's shoulder and brought him closer to him "I want to introduce you to someone”.
"What are you doing?" He asked in german to what Sebastian looked at him badly.
"She's Arabella" He pointed to the girl, making him to look back at her. He observed her, she was a little taller than him and his green eyes attracted more attention than his blue ones. She was in a red and blue rice suit and a trophy was lying on the ground, not far from her, he deduced that she was the champion of the race. She sent him a smile to which he replied blushing, she was beautiful.
Sebastian's smile got bigger “He is Mick and I think you are going to be great friends”.
She hid her face between her arms and squeezed her grip on her knees more, bringing them even closer to her chest if that was possible. She let out several sobs, one stronger than the previous one, almost drowning with her own tears.
She cried for herself, for her family, for the boys and cried for Charles.
She had screwed up everything and she didn't know how she was going to fix it or if she could fix it.
She regretted everything and for a moment she wanted to go back to that moment when she decided to sit for the first time in that kart that was not for her and avoid it, if she had not touched it maybe now she would be in college and would be a normal girl with normal problems or maybe she would be unemployed struggling to find something to put in her mouth, she didn't know but at that moment anything seemed better than the present.
At what point had she stopped being in a hotel room living a honeymoon moment with Charles to have broke up with him, to have been threatened by her boss to fire her and be sexualized on twitter?.
"Oh, tyttö" Little girl. She heard someone's voice bringing her back to reality, she still didn't raise her head because her body had stopped working, she didn't feel anything. "What happened to you?".
She heard a few steps and then a presence near her, she felt like some hands made her raise her head, finding Kimi Räikönnen's cold blue eyes looking at her with some concern.
She couldn't answer, when she tried to speak her lips contracted in a pout and another sob ran away for them. The blond frowned, holding her head.
"You have to breathe, tyttö” He said but he didn't get an answer. The girl in front of him really looked like a corpse. He moved her head between his hands “Eh! Tyttö, are you listening to me? Breathe with me, c’mon”.
He began to do breathing exercises trying to get the girl to follow him, his heart jumped in his chest when she began to follow him. They stayed like that for about fifteen minutes until she stopped crying and was able to keep her head high on her own.
Once he separated from her, an uncomfortable silence embraced them. The eldest looked at her “Eh...Do you want to talk about it?”.
The girl shook her head and he felt a little relieved "How did you know what to do?".
"I'm a father, tyttö." He raised the bottle of water he had left on the floor as if he were toasting and drank from it "I know how to do everything”.
She let out a small smile at the finn's attitude and began to play shyly with the zipper of her jacket. The blond looked at her curiously.
"Is this for Binotto?" Arabella raised her head looking at him surprised.
"How...?"
"I'm friends with some of the engineers. I heard them talk about the twitter thing and Binotto scolding you and Leclerc”.
She let out a moan taking her gaze to her shoes “Great, so everyone knows”.
"You should not care, you shouldn’t give a fuck" Before the expression the girl laughed covering her knuckles with the sleeve of her jacket and passing the fabric over her cheeks to wipe the tears that silently continued to fall. The blond looked at her from above “You know what? I thought you were tough, I guess I was wrong”.
"Excuse me?" She looked at him somewhat offended.
"I thought you wouldn't care so much about what they'll say" Kimi was trying to get a reaction from her and Arabella, unconsciously, she knew it but still couldn't help but feel his words.
"Well, sometimes you can't take it anymore" She shrugged, looking away from him.
"I know you can do it, but you can't yet" He pointed out "The first day I saw you, I knew you were going to be big, you know? I knew you were going to change things, that you were going to make history" He drank from the bottle of water as if nothing had happened while Arabella looked up to him with her mouth open, was this really happening or had she become unconscious thanks to the anxiety attack?.
She wanted to laugh, the situation literally seemed surreal to her.
"You have a champion's face, so don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Don’t mind them, do whatever you want. Win races, get on the podium and show everyone who you are. If they are going to hate you okay, but give them a reason to hate you: be the best” The finn spoke with passion and knew that it was because he had experienced hatred first hand. He had been in that world for many years, he had seen many friends suffer from the hatred of the public eye but none of them were like her. He knew it was different because she was a woman and very young. She had achieved what many men hadn’t been able to but, right now, before him she was only a scared little girl.
Maybe he wasn't aware of what he was saying to the girl, much less about how her skin had bristled or how something had "clicked" on her head thanks to his words. But he still continued “Make them get bored of seeing you win, I know you can do it but remember that after all not always people like you”
That phrase reminded her of an old friend.
A phone rang, causing him to separate his gaze from her. He looked for the device in his pockets and when he found it he looked at the screen. He raised his head to look at the girl, who was looking at a fixed point in front of her “I have to go. Will you be okay?”
At his question, she raised her head and Kimi could swear that there was something different in her gaze. She gave him a small smile of gratitude “Yes. Thank you, Mr. Räikkönen”.
"Call me Kimi, tyttö”.
And with that he turned around and left, leaving the girl alone again.
She licked his lips observing how the figure of the Alfa Romeo’s driver disappeared in the distance. She tested the salt of her tears on her lips and sighed before moving her hand down her leg, looking for her own phone. She took it out of the pocket and after unlocking it she went to the contact app, her eyes moved all over the screen in unison with her finger, looking for the right name. Once she did it, she pressed the call button.
She put the device in her ear and waited for it to sound “Hey, uhm. I miss you, do you think you can come to the next race?".

I need to make a request where dom!reader pegs sub!Johnny Cage, I need him so bad its not even funny anymore
Pegging Johnny? In my house? It's more likely than you think!
Fresh Act
Johnny Cage x Fem!Reader
TW/CW: NSFW, smut, sex toys, pegging, cumshot, Johnny whines when he's pegged you can't change my mind, slight spanking, recording, mentions of handcuffs, plugs, vibrators, fisting
MINORS DNI I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTENT YOU CONSUME
A/N: pls don't look at me because of those tags asdfghjkl
Tumblr media
💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵
Johnny Cage was many things. An actor, a fighter, a champion, and now a director.
But there was one thing you knew he was that you were sure nobody else did--even his ex-wife, Cris--was that Johnny Cage was a bottom.
The energy this man exuded, the charisma and confidence would make anybody think that he was the boss in the bedroom.
But nope.
It was you.
Oh, how Johnny loved it when you would cuff his hands to the bed and just edge him for hours, especially if you straddled his thighs while he had a plug in--a pretty little shiny one with a cute green gem in the base--and you had some sort of vibrating implement to his cock.
Double that if you used one of those vibrating stroking toys.
But something you hadn't even thought about, surprisingly... was pegging. Let alone filming the two of you while you did it. You'd heard too many horror stories of celebrity sex tapes being leaked online and you weren't sure you could handle the thought of you (and Johnny) in such a vulnerable position.
The tabloids would eat you both up.
But having Johnny sit at the edge of your bed, shirtless, wearing sweats that hung far too low on his hips, sporting a rather happy and aching erection; and in his hand was a strap and a harness he ordered online, his phone in the other.
"So... Like. Cris would never humor me with this sort of thing. She didn't like it, but I thought if I brought it up with you..." He said.
And, god, his face has the cutest, most ridiculous set of puppy dog eyes he's tried with you yet. He almost made you cave instantly.
Almost.
"Johnny." You sigh, rubbing your forehead as you looked down at him. "Honey, I mean the dildo is one thing, but the camera?"
"Okay, I can totally take this." He said, shaking said object in his hand.
He changes it up and wiggles his phone instead, now. "And this? The video will just be for me n' you, Kitten. I promise. I'm really just gonna keep it when I need you but you're not with me. Like on set."
You couldn't help but chuckle at him with a huff. Yeah, of course he masturbated while on set. Johnny was the kind of guy to do that, after all.
"And how do you know you can take it, hm?" You ask, pointing to the dildo.
He makes a sideways grin and tilts his head, looking off to the side. "Well..."
"Johnny..."
"Okay, okay!" He laughed, leaning back on his elbows, his sweats stretching and emphasizing the outline of his dick. Your eyes flicked down his body to eye it for a few seconds, and the way his grin widened irritated you.
He was getting uppity with you again, trying to push your buttons. And you knew it.
You knew he knew it.
You cross your arms and narrow your eyes at him, pushing your breasts up just a bit.
"So, you know how I've been stressed about the new scenes on set? Yeah, so I've been experimenting with this and, well... I mean it's a bit bigger than the one I use--"
"So what I'm hearing is you've been keeping toys a secret from me." Your finger begins to tap your arm impatiently.
The way his eyes nervously dart around as he struggles to find words sends a delicious thrill through your body.
"Er, well, I..." He coughs. "Well don't think of it as hiding so much as... er. Waiting to surprise you?"
You scoff and slowly crawl over him, your leg between his thighs and intentionally pressing against his throbbing cock.
You apply a bit of pressure and tilt your head, your expression cold and calculating as he bites his lip and breathes hard through his nose.
"Sounds to me like you're making excuses." You state flatly.
The bobbing of his throat sealed his fate.
"Safeword?"
"Peaches."
"Want me to push it?" You ask, your hand sliding over his thigh, the tip of your thumb just barely tracing the side of his cock.
"Not tonight, but if I get overwhelmed I'll tell you." He says, licking his bottom lip as your thumb pressed against him with more pressure.
You slowly grin at him. "You said I can't push it, so I won't hurt you. But seriously, let me know if it's too much."
"I will, babe." He says as you kiss his lips softly.
"Kay. Now get naked and on all fours."
"Fffuuuck...." He groaned deeply.
"Johnny..." You say, your voice lashing with ice.
"Yes ma'am."
"Good boy." You purr. "Now do what I said or I'll just cockwarm you all night with no relief."
💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵
Being with Johnny had allowed an inner demon of yours to come out. One you had no idea you were keeping locked up inside of you.
And boy, did she crave topping and dominating someone. And Johnny was more than happy to be that someone.
Setting up the camera took a bit of time, you let Johnny get up when you were struggling with positioning and lighting. After all, you wanted the both of you to look good in your homemade sex tape.
Once you were both satisfied with the way it was set up, you had Johnny get back into position, his cock jutting out between his legs, twitching and proud, his thighs were tense with excitement and his balls were nice and heavy from the edging you gave him.
Maybe next time you'd put him in a band, or a nice tight cock ring while you did this to him.
Next time.
Right now you had your bottom lip sucked between your teeth, chewing on it as you watched him shake with anticipation.
You palm his ass cheek firmly, giving him a soft squeeze; the latex on your fingers squeaking softly. "Now, Johnny... Here's a few rules. You have to keep yourself propped up. You're not allowed to touch yourself. I'll let you know when you can cum. If you do it before I say..."
You reach and squeeze his balls softly, earning a shaky whimper from him.
"I'm putting you in a Cage, Johnny." You grin maliciously. "Understood?"
The way his head shook had your heart yearning to just pull him back and kiss him stupid.
But already he was forgetting the game.
You give him another squeeze, just barely above pain.
"Johnny..." You scold.
"Yes ma'am." He wheezed.
You release him and give his ass an affectionate pat. "Good boy."
You hum as you grab the bottles of lube--one of several-- from the heating pad you had them resting on. There was one thing you knew almost nobody liked, and that was cold lube.
And it was always good to have a ton of lube on hand. No matter what, every time you think you have enough, you use more. For everyone's comfort.
And despite Johnny's assurances that he's had a dildo up his ass before, you wanted to have all your bases covered. You didn't want to hurt him unless he wanted it. Spanking or slapping or biting was one thing, but fucking his ass with inadequate levels of lube or prep could result in a hospital trip in the worst case scenario...
You popped the cap and spread his cheeks, slowly dribbling the clear liquid straight down onto his asshole, using one finger to tease the puckered flesh with an idle hum still in your voice as he sucked in a tight breath as your gloves finger massaged his tight, velvety walls.
You both agreed that for this situation, it was smart to wear some latex gloves so your nails wouldn't scratch his delicate insides. After all, even you used gloves when you fingered yourself, sometimes; having claws scratching up your lady bits was uncomfortable and could lead to infections.
"You good, Johnny?" You ask him gently.
"Y-yeah." He whimpered and quickly corrected himself. "Yes, ma'am. Ugh. You..."
He dropped his head and his upper body heaved with heavy breaths as he composed himself.
"You can use more than one."
Your brow quirked and you smiled impishly. "You want me to?"
"Please."
"Okay, baby." You murmur, pulling your finger out of his ass and holding your hand up, dripping a copious amount of lube on your first three fingers. You didn't want him too tight when you fucked him with the strap, and besides... teasing him was always part of your game.
Sometimes you wanted him so strung out he would cum from a puff of air. You wouldn't go so far tonight, you wanted him to cum on that hefty silicone dick of yours.
The groan that came from his throat as you eased your fingers inside of him made your clit twitch against the straining leather of the harness, your wet cunt already causing some nice slippery friction that stimulated you, too.
Johnny had thought of everything for this, he had the harness designed custom just for you and him, he had it made so if you wanted, you could have a vibrator stuck into a pouch in the front to stimulate your clit alongside the soft bump that rubbed against you with every movement you made, making your nipples pebble and goosebumps raise along your skin.
You twisted and pressed your fingers in every angle you could manage until Johnny collapsed down onto his elbows with a small moan.
You halt your fingers entirely and pull them out until just the tips of them remained inside, frowning down at your mega-star boyfriend.
"Johnny..."
He swallowed audibly and hauled himself back up onto shaky palms, his shoulders tense from the strain and effort.
And he thought planking was hard...
"That's my boy." You chuckle, thrusting your fingers back inside, curling them in a "come hither" manner, stroking his walls gently and oh so sweetly.
You bite your lip and move your hips closer, until your strap on was pressed against the underside of his cock and balls, giving external stimulation as you fucked his ass with your hand.
You were tempted to see if he could take the whole thing, but like your earlier thoughts you saved that idea for later.
You twist your hand downward as you look at the phone you and Johnny had set up, facing you with the front-facing camera, the ring light illuminating you two wonderfully. The energy of your bedroom and the candles lit provided a gorgeous backdrop for this; and the way you could actually see how Johnny looked on all fours, his eyes squeezed shut and biting his lip in concentration as sweat dripped down his forehead made your hips thrust against his in an automatic reaction.
He made a short gasp as your silicone cock grinded against his, pressing against his full balls while your fingers angled down, dangerously close to his prostate but not close enough to give hime spine-tingling relief.
You made a mental note to buy a custom stroker that you could shove alongside his cock, next time. You'd love to see him on his back as you grounded and stroked your cock alongside his, watching him come in thick ropes up his well-toned abs... maybe you'd have him lick your toy clean afterwards.
God, he was your inner demon's muse. He was so good at giving you ideas with just those pathetic little moans and whimpers of his.
"Look at you," You coo down at him. "Taking my hand so good."
You knew he could probably cum just like this, lazily stroking his hips against you, his cock sliding against yours as your fingers pumped in and out of him, stretching his hole out nice and wide for you.
But no, if he was gonna cum, it was gonna be while you fucked him hard with that goddamn strap-on he wanted so badly.
You pulled away all at once without warning, his ass twitching and empty at the loss of you. He looked over his shoulder at you, not voicing his question--because he knew he'd be punished if he got impatient--and his brows were creased pathetically in a silent plea for you to continue.
You acted like you didn't notice, humming a little tune as you poured what was left of the bottle of lube you were using on the dildo. You grabbed another warmed up bottle and applied more, stroking it with your fingers, trailing over the life-like silicone; the veins prominent and the foreskin creased as you pulled back like a real cock.
Fuck, you almost wished you had one, just to know how he'd feel all snug around you.
You rolled your hips into your touch, giving yourself some friction and making small moans--some for show, some genuine--as your clit bumped and rolled against the raised indent on the inside of the harness, more slick gushing from your wanting cunt.
You barely glimpsed at him out of the corner of your eyes, looking at him as he watched you, his eyes practically glistening with tears as he watched you slowly get yourself off, leaving him bereft and craving.
You were merciful and turned back to him, pouring more lube into his ass that was still clenching around air, waiting for you.
You pressed the tip against him, relishing in how his whole body seemed to go still as death as he waited.
But nothing happened.
You tapped the head of the toy against his waiting hole, "Remember. Use the safeword, and if you cum before I say, you're in trouble."
"Yes ma'am." He sighed, his voice watery and knees weak. "Please."
"Alright." You say, your tongue clicking as you press harder, the tip popping right into his asshole with wondrous ease, making you moan involuntarily at the mere sight as his hands bunched the expensive sheets, his cock leaking fresh, heavy drops of his precum.
"Fuck." He groaned as you eased in, inch by torturous inch.
"Doing s' good for me, baby." You praise as the toy is swallowed by his hungry body. "Takin' my cock so good. Next time I'm gonna have you ride it, m'kay?"
"Yes--fuck--please." He whined loudly, his spine arching and head tipping back as you finally bottomed out.
You rested there, letting the weight of the strap rest in his guts, getting snug and comfortable as his insides contorted around its shape, committing it to memory.
Cris was fucking stupid for not doing this to him. He was fucking gorgeous all split open and trembling for you, his muscles quivering as your spread your hand, palm down and fingers splayed while you slid it up his back, feeling just how sweaty he got.
"Gonna start moving." You tell him as you pull back; not quite as slow as when you were pushing in, but you were being gentle for him.
Just this once.
After that? Fuck, you were relentless.
You would roll your hips like you did when you rode his cock, gyrating and slapping against his ass as the stimulation from the harness pushed you closer and closer to your own orgasm while you fucked him.
You drove in and in, and in and in more and more, the tip of the dildo stabbing him in a way that he never managed on his own. God, Johnny wanted to badly to grip and tug his cock, to stroke himself so he could just cum already, but he remembered your rules and your promise to really make him suffer if he did what you expressly told him he couldn't.
All he could do was mumble and babble things almost incoherently, rolling his hips back against yours, his ass slapping audibly against your sweaty skin, the sound of your false cock lewd and wet as you buried yourself again and again, pile-driving the air out of his lungs with every punch of your hips.
"Fuck." You whined softly, feeling the flames of your own release began to creep up your spine, your blood turning to molten lava as the friction from the harness against the swollen bud of your clit makes your nerves light up and your brain almost forget what you were doing as you mindlessly chase your own release; your puffy lips and slick cunt gushing so much it feels like you could drown him if his face were in-between your legs, the clear, sticky juices dripping down your thighs as your hips snap up against his while you cum, your hands gripped tight on his hips to ground yourself.
As the haze of your orgasm ebbed and your hot slick dribbled down the skin of your inner thighs, you remember that you were buried all the way inside of Johnny's ass.
You smile, feeling a little guilty that you got so consumed in the moment that you'd neglected and forgot all about your whimpering and squirming boyfriend beneath you.
He hasn't said the safeword yet, and he has been good. Almost unusually, for him, to behave so well in bed. Sometimes he lived for your little punishments.
So, you decided to extend the olive branch of mercy yet again as you pull out, and angle your hips so you can press the tip against his prostate.
"Go on ahead 'n cum for me, baby." You coo at him, your voice becoming only slightly rough as you plowed full steam into his ass, relishing in the noises he made as he rocked shamelessly against you, the sweetest most pathetic noises coming from his cute lips alongside your name.
When Johnny Cage cums, he does so with his entire body, trembling, gripping, thrusting, arching... He does it all, puts his whole body into the effort of letting you know that he's at his limit and you've brought him there.
Hot, thick ropes of white shoot from the weeping and sensitive tip of his cock as you help him ride it out, smiling in amusement as he essentially rides you from below as he collapses his upper body down against the pillows, drooling just a little bit as his brain slowly kicks back on.
You could swear you could hear the dial-up internet sounds coming from his mind as you pull the dildo out of him.
"That good, huh?" You tease playfully.
"So, so good." He groans, rolling onto his back, just off to the side of the mess he made in the satiny sheets.
You hum in acknowledgement as you undo the clasps and buckles of the harness, turning the heating pad with the lube off as you set the harness and toy atop it.
You lean down and grab Johnny by his jaw, bringing his lips to yours in a heavy, loving and desperate kiss as his hands smooth up your back and down again, kneading and pulling the cheeks of your ass apart.
"Mmh. Again?" You murmur against his lips.
"As much as I'd love to do that again, I need some time to warm up, Kitten." He chuckles at you.
"But I can do that while you sit on my face, right?"

logan smile thesis
so as someone who is both obsessed with logan sargeant and generally really abnormal about smiles when it comes to men i find attractive... i present: me yelling about logan sargeant's smile for entirely too long. because i have a lot of thoughts and feelings about him (and a lot of time on my hands)
i've said it before and i'll say it again: i really like logan's smile!! especially when he smiles really big and his eyes get all squinty to a point where you can barely see them, like. you want to see me fail. and i am failing. so thank you. BUT that is actually not the point of My Thesis
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is the thesis.
okay. uhm. voice of someone who is very normal he very rarely smiles with his teeth when he knows his photo is being taken. there definitely are pictures of him out there where he's looking straight at the camera and full-smiling with his teeth, but the vast majority of pictures where you can tell he knows the camera is there he tends to smile like the left image: lips closed, and lopsided skewing right
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
LIKE. yeah. emphasis on the middle photo pretty much every selfie i've seen of him with a fan he smiles without teeth -- there's only one i can think of off the top of my head that's different, and it was with like a little kid if i remember correctly (i am logan sargeant encyclopedia)
either way look at this guy and his shut-mouthed grin. so intentional
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and on that, most of (if not all) of the selfies he posts on his instagram stories he smiles like this. or just doesn't smile at all, which he also does in plenty of photos, but are you really an f1 driver if there aren't nine billion pictures of you on the internet looking like you want to murder somebody?? not the point of this post
i just think it is interesting that when he takes pictures of himself, he doesn't smile with his teeth. it's the little sideways grin or nothing at all
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
so most pictures i've seen where he is smiling with teeth he's just. not looking at the camera. or it's one where you can tell he was in the middle of laughing so it's just-- more candid. i mentioned it before but yes there definitely are pictures of him smiling for the camera, and not just around a camera, but there are so few of them (that i've seen) that i made this entire tumblr post about nonsense. so. do with that what you will
Tumblr media Tumblr media
also. he's been doing it since he was a kid. + bonus oscar

"maybe I like looking at you" - Felix
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: Felix x Reader
Genre: Fluff
Warnings: none
Summary: From a movie night to a date at a coffee shop and a confession of love.
Word Count: ~1K
________________________________
"babe, I'm bored" every now and then Felix moaned while lying on my thighs. We decided to have a movie night and to beat our record of watched movies in one night, we started at 6 o'clock in the evening. Currently it was 6:33 pm.
"we just started and you are already bored?" I asked to which the blond laughed and nodded.
"let's go somewhere!" he suddenly shouted which made me scared "recently they opened a cat cafe at our place. He wants to go there"
"I don't want to" I said which he began to throw himself sideways.
"come on, it will be fun"
"watch and be quiet" I put a handful of munchies in his mouth at which he wrinkled his forehead and began to chew slowly still looking at me wanting to bend me to agree "don't look at me like that"
"maybe I like looking at you" he shrugged his shoulders and stood up. For a long moment he continued to do nothing but look at me until suddenly he grabbed my leg and pulled me to the very end of the bed.
"Felix stop it!" I started screaming and laughing loudly at which he also laughed.
"only if you come with me. Then how"
"okay let's go. But we come back quickly and watch on" he nodded with a sign of agreement and helped me get up by pulling my hand.
****
I sat at one of the tables and admired the cats who every now and then passed by me, purring against my legs or just sitting and looking curiously from afar at people sitting at other tables.
I looked at Felix who was waiting for our order while scrolling through social media on his phone. I snorted a quiet laugh seeing that he was purposely holding it so that the girl across from him could see our polaroid which was hidden behind its transparent case.
We took it when it was his birthday and we went to the amusement park together with the whole team. There we got lost but still found that it was the perfect place to take a photo in a booth that we passed several times trying to find any member of the Stray kids in the crowd.
A few minutes late he received his order and headed to the table where I was sitting.
"your over-sweetened latte once. My best coffee under the sun two" he said placing the plastic cups with straws on the table and putting on his jacket.
"we can sit here for a while. All in all, it's nice here" he looked at me then rolled his eyes hanging his jacket back on the back of the chair.
"if you had said it earlier I wouldn't have taken the takeaway and we could have taken something sweet" he sat down and took his cup in his hand putting the straw in his mouth "and what, did you like it though?"
"these cats are lovely so we can look at them longer" then one of them came up to me. I started stroking it after which I heard the sound of the camera. I looked at Felix who was now sitting contentedly and looking at the phone.
"hihi I have a new wallpaper" he said in a funny voice at which I laughed.
"nah, please don't. I definitely came out wrong" the boy began to shake his head intensely.
"nice, nice" he said after which he added more quietly "you came out beautifully"
"what did you say?"
"no, nothing. Do you like your coffee" he asked, putting down the phone and taking a sip of his drink.
"of course. I always buy it so it must taste good to me"
I knew that Felix had started acting strangely for a long time. At first I thought I was imagining it, then I didn't pay attention to it, but now it started to get weirder and weirder. More than once I wanted to ask him what exactly was going on but never had the courage. I didn't want to spoil our friendship. This was the only way I could be close to him.
I liked him. And maybe I even loved him. To everyone he was kind and helpful but only towards me he was much more caring and always made me feel better. He did everything for me to make me smile.
"do you think I can tell you something in secret?" he asked after a long moment, I nodded my head yes.
"of course"
"I like you. I like you very much" he almost shouted in an oversweetened voice squeezing my cheek making me almost spit out my coffee.
He laughed charmingly and rested his head on his hand placed elbows on the table. We looked into each other's eyes at which his smile slowly diminished and became serious.
"is something wrong?" I asked, not knowing what to do.
"I really like you. More than anything I like you and I will never stop" he said straightening up in his chair continuing to look deeply into my eyes. After a few seconds he added in a whisper leaning in "or maybe even love..."
"ah sure" I laughed, recognizing it as an unfunny joke, but then he put his hand over mine and, still looking into my eyes, leaned in even more and pressed his lips to mine. He remained in this position for a few seconds then moved centimeters away from me.
"I love you y/n. I'm not kidding. If you still think so I can do it again" he smiled broadly and moved closer again but I stopped him with my hands.
"really?" he nodded moving his hand to my cheek.
"don't you believe it?" he moved closer again and laughed softly when I stopped him again.
"not here" I whispered at which he laughed again, this time louder.
"in that case, we have to go home quickly" he stood up and in a second put on his jacket and took our coffees in his hands. "and what are you waiting for, I have to show you quickly that I love you"
He began to jump slightly in place and hurried me along. I laughed at his childish behavior and got up from the chair. Felix immediately turned toward the door and walked out with a quick step. I stroked the kitten that was tickling my leg some more and followed him out.
When I opened the door I didn't see him anywhere.
"Felix?" I closed the door and then I was pulled a few meters away from the entrance. Although it was dark in that place I could see the intense gaze of the blond man. A few moments passed and then I felt his lips on mine again. When I moved my lips slightly, Felix moved away a bit for a split second then pressed his lips to mine placing his hands on my waist, while I placed mine on his neck.
We stood like that for a couple of minutes after which we ran out of air so he moved away a bit and put his forehead to mine. For a while we said nothing, plunging into each other's gazes, only when the blonde rubbed his nose charmingly against mine he laugh slightly and speak first.
"I really love you. I really do. I have loved for a long time, I love and will continue to love"
"I love you too, Felix"
I finally said it. I was overjoyed at that moment and, unable to stop smiling, I snuggled into his torso to hide my face and he wrapped his arms around me tightly.
I wanted this moment to last forever.

i saw that your requests are open and i was thinking about what if noah asked to be on an interview with the reader to promote the new bad omens album and like he kinda falls in love with her as the interview/podcast goes on 😭😭😭 sorry if this is confusing idk how to really explain it 🫶🏻🫶🏻
hihiii thank you for requesting!! i love this idea :D
sorry for taking so long I literally didnt know how to write this LMAO but here u go better late than never
gaze
noah x fem!reader
RPF -> Don't like it? Don't read
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
his gaze was fixated on her. on the way her hands moved when she spoke, as if to emphasize her speech. the way her short hair danced when she laughed or turned around to look at him. his eyes were on her; her legs, her face, her eyes, her nose. she was one of the prettiest women noah has ever seen, and he's almost always completely surrounded by them.
this was his fault, though. he offered her the idea of an interview. he has been watching her videos and she looks so charismatic, funny extroverted and excited to talk to people. like a social butterfly; a very beautiful butterfly.
since the very first moment he walked through the door of that goddamned studio, he knew he was in big trouble.
now he couldn't keep his gaze from wandering around her, dropping unconsciously to her lips, red and shiny thanks to the lipgloss she had put on moments before; or chest, which was decored perfectly with a tight white shirt that left everything under it to imagination; or her legs, the black short skirt she wore made her legs visible to the naked eye, and the tigh highs did little to hide the flesh that noah was aching to grasp at.
the way she smiled at him whenever she asked a question had him stuttering; picture a big man like him stuttering because of a woman. funny. and adorable. he couldn't help it though, she was amazingly beautiful. he couldn't help but chuckle at whatever she had to say. noah didn't believe in love at first sight, but whatever this was, was making him believe in fairytales.
this seemed like the longest interview noah has ever done. he had to shift in his seat a couple times throughout the recording, growing uncomfortable in each and every position he squirmed to.
when the words "last but not least" left her lips, noah was already starting to plan on how to ask for her number. he needed to talk to her again; maybe hang out, drink something; maybe fuck. definitely fuck. one hundred percent fuck.
he waved at the camera with a sideways smirk.
the camera panned down and the person behind it made their way outside with a smile at the pretty girl. she clearly wasn't named pretty girl, but that was all noah had about her.
he saw her stand up; he quickly did the same. "uh excuse me!" he called for her. she turned around slightly with a smile, and noah couldn't help his own from settling on his lips. "thank you for the interview, i had so much fun and i would definitely like to do this ag-"
"give me," the short haired girl said, hand raised and eyes staring at his. noah was cut off; he stuttered but complied, giving her his phone. she started typing. "you think i didnt catch the way you were looking at me like a hungry animal?" she asked almost in a murmur, not looking at him. noah felt his cheeks grow warm.
she gave him his phone back. "there you go." noah glanced at his phone. she had already made herself a contact and named it "pretty girl". he saw she had already sent herself a message. "thank you-", he stuttered as she started making her way through the door.
"i liked the way you were looking at me, by the way." she said over her shoulder with a wink and disappeared through the corridor. noah's heart was beating out of his chest, but he had a dumb smile on his lips.
he would definitely call her tonight.

OC Kiss Week Day 5: Darkness
WIP: CAMRR WIP
Pairing: Maeve x Charlie
CWs: just the kissing :)
Words: 837
Notes: "CAMRR" stands for Cheesy Ass Modern Royal Romance and it does live up to the name; also Charlie calls Maeve "Hen" bc her last name is Hennessy
Tumblr media
Maeve lay on the couch in front of the TV, cocooned by darkness and burritoed in a blue fleece blanket. The true crime documentary playing only had half of her attention as her mind replayed the comments she’d overheard at the—what had Anaïs called it? A benefit luncheon? The people who ran the charity had been lovely, but the other benefactors had bordered on cruel. It had been hard to ignore the sudden silences when she’d passed by, and the sideways glances, and the sharp giggles that she couldn’t help but think were at her expense. It had been a stark reminder that she was only accepted in the upper echelons of society as an extension of Charlie.
The overhead light flicked on. She wailed in protest, and it immediately turned back off.
“Sorry Hen, didn’t see you there,” Charlie said. He leaned over the back of the couch and looked down at her. “How are you doing?”
“’M cozy,” she replied, snuggling into her blanket burrito.
“You look cozy.”
“Thank you.”
He grinned and hopped over the back of the couch, then ignored her grumblings as he replaced the stack of pillows under her head with his lap. “Still cozy?”
“Mhm.”
She sighed contentedly as he ran his fingers through her hair, her eyes drifting closed. Moments like this were what made the bullshit that came with dating royalty worth it. Moments where he wasn’t a prince, but where he was just Charlie who could never seem to get enough physical affection. 
The truth nagged at the back of her mind: it wasn’t real. They were only dating for the cameras so they could weather the media storm his very public, very acrimonious breakup had brought upon them. Every touch, every kiss, every public appearance—none of it was supposed to be real. But the truth was getting harder and harder to remember as time went on, as things became more natural between them, as they realized they didn’t need to script it anymore. The boundary between their public relationship and their private friendship was blurring in ways she hadn’t planned.
“I think we need to talk,” Maeve said.
“About what?”
“About—” She paused as she struggled to sit up. The conversation would be easier to have if she wasn’t bumping her head against his hand like a cat begging for attention. “About new rules. We need to put a limit on how many times we kiss per event. And outside of events. And overall just cool things down.”
“Okay,” he agreed. He frowned with concern. “May I ask why? Has something happened to make you uncomfortable?”
“It’s getting a bit too real,” she admitted.
He raised a brow.
She wet her lips and tried again. “You kiss me like you mean it. And it’s not your fault, but my stupid feelings are getting involved and I need some space to get everything sorted.”
“Maeve, are you saying you have a crush on me?” he teased, a smile slowly blooming on his features.
“No—I am—stop.” Her jaw clicked shut and her cheeks burned. She wished her blanket burrito would swallow her. “I’m handling it. I just need a few weeks to get over it and everything can go back to how it was. But right now I’m reading too much into things and I’m going to end up breaking my own heart.”
He turned to face her and rested his elbow on the back of the couch. He leaned his head into his hand and gazed at her with that stupid softness that had gotten her into this predicament in the first place. “Maeve.”
“Don’t be cute, I’m trying to have a serious conversation with you.”
“Maeve.”
“Stop looking at me like that!” She wiggled out of her blanket and grabbed a pillow, lunging forward and pressing it over his face.
He laughed and wrapped his arm around her waist. She shrieked as he twisted them so she was flat on her back and he knelt over her. 
“This isn’t helping,” she complained, whacking him with the pillow to hide her grin.
“Maeve, have you considered that I do mean it?” Charlie asked. “And that I’ve meant it every single time for months?”
She blinked up at him, watching the blue light from the TV flicker across his features. She couldn’t be understanding him right. “Months?”
“Since the beginning. I figured it would go away as we got to know each other.”
“You figured I’d be annoying?” she demanded playfully. The shock had turned into giddy excitement that completely overrode the small, logical part of her brain whispering that this was a terrible idea. 
He smiled ruefully. “That’s not—”
The rest of his sentence was lost as she pulled his face to hers for their first kiss that was just for them. There were no cameras, no audience, no one they were trying to convince. Just them, alone in the darkness, where they didn’t have to think about the challenges that awaited them when the sun rose.

missing you | b.s
requested by anon!! thank u so much i really missed writing :(
summary: y/n leaves brad because he had been treating her poorly. after attempting to move on, brad unexpectedly reappears in her life hoping for another chance
word count: 1.6k
-
You continued to shove your stuff into your overnight bag, not being able to do it fast enough. You needed to leave, and you needed to leave now. You threw your clothes in that had been lying on the floor and started to head to the bathroom where you left your skincare and shower products. As you made your way to the bathroom connected to Brad’s room, you heard his loud footsteps coming up the staircase. You sighed audibly before he entered the room.
“Y/n what the fuck are you doing?” Brad asked with a raised voice.
“I’m leaving,” you snapped back, not even turning back to look at him as you grabbed your stuff off the counter.
“Y/n come on, don’t leave,” he pleaded, standing behind you silently begging for you to look at him.
“I’m done, Brad,” you yelled. “I’m fucking done, all you do is treat me like shit all the time. Quite frankly, you’re a fucking asshole.”
“Fine. Leave then. You’re a bitch anyway,” he snapped back, losing his patience almost immediately.
“I’m a bitch, Bradley? Really? You’re seriously gonna say that after how you’ve treated me throughout the entirety of this relationship?” you screamed.
“You’re overreacting!” he exclaimed. “You always make everything into some sort of drama when it doesn’t need to be!”
“Well, how’s this for drama? I’m leaving, don’t call me,” you said for the last time, staring him in the eyes before bounding down the stairs.
“Don’t worry, I won’t,” he replied as he followed.
“Just remember, you’ll never find anyone like me,” you finally stated, walking out the front door, slamming it behind you and not looking back.
*
You smooth your hair down in the mirror, turning sideways to take one last look at the outfit you’d put on. You nod to yourself, adding the final touch of your gold hoop earrings before grabbing your purse off the counter. You were going on a second date, and you were excited. Jack, your date, was sweet. He was patient, kind, and generous. You were happy when he had asked you to go on a second date with him.
Feeling confident, you stepped out the door just as he arrived to pick you up. You gave him a grin as he got out of his care and opened your door for you as you blushed.
He drove you both to a nice restaurant, holding all the doors for you and pulling out your chair. You weren’t used to such a gentleman and couldn’t help but blush when he did all these nice things for you.
You chatted non-stop over dinner, telling stories about your families, jobs, past travels. Jack was easy to talk to, easy to laugh with. Nothing felt too serious or heavy when you were with him. You felt light. He did everything right, and you appreciated how similar the two of you were.
After your date ended, Jack dropped you off at home. You thanked him for the lovely evening and went inside. You hadn’t kissed, not yet, and you wondered what was stopping you. He was everything you could ask for in a guy. You were attracted to him, so why wouldn’t you kiss him?
You stepped into your flat, kicking off your heels and already unzipping your dress as you walked to your bedroom, ready to put on your pyjamas and call it a night. After completing your daily bedtime routine, you crawled under the covers, staring at the ceiling.
You pulled out your phone after a few minutes, scrolling through your camera roll to an old photo of you and Brad. You were kissing his cheek and squishing his face, and he had a goofy grin on his face. You liked Jack, you really did, but at the end of the night when you were alone, Brad was the one who was really on your mind. You couldn’t help but miss him on nights you were alone. He didn’t treat you the way you deserved, but Jack did. So why was Brad the one you still couldn’t stop thinking about?
You shut off your phone, shut off your light and rolled over, attempting to fall asleep.
*
The next morning, you walked into your usual coffee shop, ready to get your day started with your caffeine boost. As you walked down the street, you heard a familiar voice. Not wanting to looking but feeling compelled to, you looked up from your feet, seeing Brad standing at the entrance of your favorite coffee shop.
“Y/n?” he asked, his eyes glossing over slightly.
“Brad, hey,” you forced out, trying to plaster a kind smile onto your face.
“You…uh, you going in here?” he asked, pointing to the café with one hand on the door handle.
“You know I am,” you laughed, nodding to him as he opened the door for you.
You both stood in line silently, not knowing what to say to each other, or if you should talk. The night you left had been brutal, and you both hadn’t spoken to each other since. You told him not to call, and he didn’t. You ordered your latte, and Brad followed suite. As you both waited for your drinks, you noticed he inched slightly closer to you.
“Do you have a minute? To sit and drink with me?” he asked shyly. You had never seen him so shy, so unsure.
You thought about it for a second, not sure what the right thing to do was. You finally decided to agree, and you both took the corner table of the café with your steaming cups in your hands.
You sat in silence, waiting for him to speak. He was the one who asked you to sit, after all.
“So…” he started. “How have you been?”
“Good,” you nodded. “I’m good. Working, dating, you know.”
You watched Brad’s eyes dim a little.
“You’re dating?” he asked quietly.
“Yeah,” you nodded again. “My life didn’t end after that night, you know.”
You felt yourself getting defensive. You were allowed to move on. You had wanted to move on, you just weren’t quite able to.
“No, I know, I’m not saying that!” Brad jumped quickly. “I guess it sort of felt like mine did, though.”
“I don’t believe that,” you said back. “You didn’t need me, you never did. You have your tour and your friends and as many girls as you could possibly ask for.”
“It’s never enough, y/n,” he sighed. “Every day since you walked out that door, I’ve been regretting everything I’ve done. I treated you terribly, I took advantage of how much you loved me and thought you’d never leave.”
“You never called,” you pointed out.
“I know,” he replied. “You told me not to, and I knew if I didn’t take time to work on myself and reflect on how I was acting, I’d never be a better man than I was then.”
“You were a bit of a fucking prick,” you half joked, couldn’t help the small smirk appearing on your face.
“I know I was,” he admitted. “I’ve changed, I’ve grown. I can’t stop thinking about you.”
“Brad, I-“ you started before he chimed in again.
“Tell me you haven’t been thinking about me too. About us,” he urged.
“…I can’t say that,” you admitted. “I think about you every day.”
“But,” you continued. “This guy, Jack, he’s great. He treats me well, we have a lot in common, he’s kind.”
“Is it serious?” Brad asked.
“Not yet,” you admitted. “We haven’t even kissed.”
“Then at least give me the chance to take you out again,” he suggested. “Please, y/n, I want to show you I’ve changed.”
You didn’t want to agree, but finally you gave in to letting him take you out.
*
You told Brad you would meet him at the restaurant, not wanting the intimacy the car ride together could potentially bring. He smiled at you when he saw you arrive, holding the door for you. He never did that before.
“You look beautiful, as always,” he smiled as you guys walked in and took your seats.
You tried to keep an open mind, let your guard down. Maybe Brad really had changed and grown. Maybe he wasn’t completely the same guy you had dated all that time ago.
You guys chatted, trying to keep things more casual, not rehashing the night of your break up. You found yourself laughing and actually having a good time. Staring into Brad’s eyes made your heart melt as they always had, and you remembered all the reasons you had loved him. Maybe you never stopped loving him.
You stood outside of the restaurant, wrapping your peacoat around you as you stood by your car, Brad facing you.
“I had a really nice time,” he grinned. “Thank you, y/n, for giving me the chance.”
“I had a nice time too,” you agreed. “I missed you.”
“You have no idea how much I missed you,” he emphasized.
You took a step closer to him. You knew you shouldn’t, but you wanted to kiss him. You were drawn to him, always were.
He wrapped a hand around your waist as he pressed his lips softly against yours. You deepened the kiss slightly before pulling away quickly.
“You have no idea how much I missed that, too,” he winked.
“Don’t get too cocky now, Simpson,” you rolled your eyes. “You’re still on probation.”
He pulled you in for another kiss, and you melted into him. You said goodbye and got back into your car, unable to wipe the grin off your face. You felt silly, but you knew in your heart that you already had him back. And you felt that this time, he would fight damn hard to make sure you stayed.

Here's another Christmas idea from me: Even though they were raised as Jews, Marc knows how much Steven loves Christmas, so Marc decides to be nice for once to Steven and gets him the biggest Christmas tree he can find in London even though it means he has to steal it. Later, Layla would tell Marc that the look of childlike joy on Steven's face and eyes said it all when he saw the Christmas tree and then Layla will show Marc the video she made when Steven saw the Christmas tree.
Sorry this took so long! I had such ideas, but I decided to make it simple.
Tumblr media
When the door to the flat opened, Layla expected Marc. But what entered was a tree.
Layla stood from where she had been sitting at the table working on her laptop and stared as the evergreen tree, all wrapped up nice and neat in a net, came sideways through the door. Eventually, she saw Marc as he peeked over the top, his eyebrows up and a delighted expression on his face.
"Marc, what is this?
"It's a Christmas tree," he replied. "What does it look like?"
He carried it over to the corner by the back window and set it upright, leaning it against the wall.
Layla frowned. "I know I shouldn't have to say this, but you're Jewish."
Marc snorted and looked at her. "Yeah, I know." He put his hands on his hips. "But you're not." He glanced at the tree, then back at her. "And besides, Steven has always been fascinated with Christmas trees, but he's never thought he should have one. That's one thing his memory of our mother is similar to mine. She refused to have anything Christmasy in the house."
"But you don't mind?"
He shrugged. "There's nothing wrong with a simple holiday tree, something to celebrate the coming New Year." He moved toward her. "I have the stand for it and some decorations and stuff downstairs. Come help me get them up."
Layla helped Marc haul several boxes back up to the flat, feeling an excitement she hadn't felt since she was a child flow through her. She hadn't had a Christmas tree since her mother died. Christmas hadn't been forgotten, but it become a very simple affair after Nashwa died. It didn't hurt that she hadn't seen Marc this excited about something in a long time. He actually looked... happy.
She held the tree while Marc put it in the holder, then he cut the wrapping off and together they fluffed out the branches. "Should we leave it so Steven can help you decorate?" he asked. "Or should we get started and surprise him?"
She smiled. "Let's at least put the lights and garland on," she told him. While she was anxious to see Steven's expression when he saw the tree, she wanted to share a bit of it with Marc, too.
He readily agreed, and they laughed and talked as they wrapped two strings of colored LED lights and red and blue strings of glittery garland around the tree. Layla opened the boxes of ornaments and smiled as she looked them over. There were simple glass balls in various colors and typical ornaments of reindeer and snowmen, but there were also a handful of Jewish decorations. Knowing she would be happily spending the rest of her life with Marc and his alters, an interfaith December would become the norm. Their respect for each other's faith would lead them to share each other's traditions without violating each other's beliefs.
"Should we let Steven help you finish?" Marc asked. "I can feel him 'knocking at the door.' He's wondering why I'm blocking him."
Layla nodded. "Should I get a camera and catch his expression?"
Marc laughed. "No. I'll see it in the mirror." He glanced off to the side to one of the many mirrors situated around the flat.
"Okay," she said. "Wait!"
Marc looked at her expectantly.
She gently cupped his face in her hands and kissed him softly on the lips. "Thank you, Habibi."
He smiled softly at her. "Bahibik."
She released him and backed up a bit, then watched as his face changed. Suddenly, the man in front of her looked confused. He focused on her.
"What's going on, love?"
She smiled and looked at the tree. Steven also looked. His eyes widened and his mouth opened in shock. "Oh, my stars!" he gasped. He looked back at Layla. "Did you do this?"
"No," she shook her head. "Marc did."
Steven's smile was huge as he turned back to the tree.
Layla moved over to the ornament boxes. "Come on, Steven. Let's decorate it!"
Still looking giddy, Steven practically skipped over to her. "Let's!"

My thoughts on the Super Mario Movie
Tumblr media
My autistic ass needs someone to talk to about this film and I have nobody. I know I don’t post as often anymore on here but I need to let this energy out. Here’s what did work and didn’t work
What did work:
the animation: DAMN. It looked amazing. I loved how smooth they looked on screen and the details of the character models, the background, etc. You can tell they put a lot of love into it. It felt so nice to see our favorite video game characters on screen like this. All of the references were such a joy to find and recognize. It’s also crazy that Mario came from being an 8bit model to this glorious, detailed, 3D model. And some scenes “camera” moved in a way that would be in a game. When Mario and Luigi were on their way to their first plumbing job, the “camera” moved sideways as the first Mario games were side-scrolling. When Toad and Mario were heading to the castle and poor Mario was being thrown around, the “camera” moved around like I guess the newer games? I mean it looked like Super Mario Odyssey but there could be other games, I haven’t played every single one (now I want to). Really cool attention to detail. My autistic ass loves attention to detail. The models looked good as well like Bowser’s scales and the brothers’ clothing. Funny how 3D animation wasn’t as detailed before like with Veggietales and Toy Story 1 but now we have HAIR. You get it.
The music: Some parts hit, some didn’t. I loved the orchestral remixes of our beloved songs. When the kart scene came on, I immediately recognized the music and felt PUMPED, especially when they were making the karts and I heard the Mario Kart 8 theme. I wanted to jump out of my seat but couldn’t cause I didn’t wanna be weird. Hearing the theme songs as well felt satisfying. It scratched that itch I didn’t know I needed to be scratched. I found myself listening to the soundtrack right after. I’m glad they chose 80’s songs rather than fucking Doja Cat or whatever but it still threw me off hearing Take On Me, Holding Out for a Hero, and Mr. Blue Sky. (Cmon Shrek did Holding Out better. No topping it) As much as I love those songs, I remembered that this is an Illumination movie so of course they’d have popular songs. If they left the pop songs in the human world and kept the Mario songs in the Mushroom kingdom, etc, it would’ve made a little more sense. No Sleep til Brooklyn was good tho, made sense cause they live in Brooklyn and they were in the human world.
Chris Pratt: Yes, I know everyone was skeptical of Chris Pratt playing Mario. I love Chris in Guardians of the Galaxy as Peter Quill so I didn’t have much doubt but since he is a celebrity and you know how movies these days (mainly Illumination) love to get big names in their films. I wasn’t disappointed. He was good, not bad. As much as I love Martinet’s iconic Mario, I don’t think I’d be able to handle hearing it the whole time. It’s iconic but let’s be real hearing “let’s-a-go!” the whole time is a bit jarring. Mario’s from Brooklyn so that’s what Chris tried. And his Wahoo! was good! You knew he didn’t want to ruin this character because of how much it holds. He TRIED. And Martinet as Giuseppe saying “it’s a perfect!” Felt like he was sharing the torch with Chris. He squished all the critics doubts by saying “he’s Mario too, it’s fine. Deal with it.” Hearing the voice made me smile so wide, it was like hearing an old friend. I think he even said that doing Mario’s voice too much hurt so we don’t want him to feel any pain for our sake! We all owe Chris an apology. You did great bro
Seth Rogan: I love DK. He’s big, loud, goofy, and strong. Seth did that right and honestly idk who else would play him. Hearing Seth’s iconic laugh made me laugh, idk who can hate it. It fit DK as it kind of…sounded ape-like? The whole fight between Mario and DK was straight out of a game. I loved the interaction between DK and Mario. They’re enemies at first but soon, they respect each other as in the games. I wish that wasn’t the whole character development between two characters in the movie, I wish it was Mario & Luigi, Mario and toad, or Mario and Peach. Hell, even Mario and Bowser. But this is only the first movie so we’ll see more
Anna-Taylor Joy: not much to say about her. I think Peach was fun and I’m glad they didn’t go the “damsel in distress” or “girl boss” route. We get it, we’re becoming SOMEWHAT better in terms of shit like that but god we don’t need it every time. Peach was a badass, she cared for her kingdom and subjects, and she was sweet. That’s Peach! It wasn’t the “I don’t need no man” or forced relationship with Mario and that was good. I loved Peach’s racing outfit too and all the power ups. Peach was awesome, I’m glad they didn’t ruin her
Charlie Day: I haven’t seen much of him but wow I loved his Luigi! I always loved Luigi, he was always the b guy and he deserves a lot of love. He’s adorable. I wish Luigi had more of an interaction with Bowser. We could’ve gotten a lot of funny scenes with them together (of course it’d be fuel to the shipping fire) and it was cut too short. I mean, bowser didn’t need MUCH from Luigi, he just needed information so it wouldn’t make sense why he’d keep him around when he could throw him in the dungeon with Luma, the penguins, etc. And the whole thing with Mario and Luigi “sticking together” was nice but…they weren’t together AS much? Yes, Bowser kidnapped him but idk it didn’t really feel so emotional. Their team up at the end was amazing of course, had the biggest smile with the star music on. Luigi must be protected
Keegan-Michael Key: His Toad was good! Kind of wished we saw more of Toad and Mario together but he was the comic relief. Sucked he wasn’t in it as much but maybe next movie.
Jack Black: MY MAN. GOD HE KILLED IT. Was that any surprise? No, everyone knew Jack was gonna bring his a-game and he did. Bowser’s singing was amazing, I was cracking up during that scene. PEACHES PEACHES PEACHES aah it’s good. I loved how Bowser went from his usual scary self to a big sweetheart who just wants to love someone. Yea, he did threaten to kill Peach’s kingdom if she didn’t marry him but hey he said he wouldn’t if she agreed! You can absolutely tell Jack loved his role and that’s so important in movies for it to turn out well. Honestly, I’d say Bowser was my favorite in the whole movie! (Ngl, Bowser kinda..) Bowser was intimidating at parts, especially with Luigi. He was a lot scarier than I remembered and damn he is a power house. Im surprised that I didn’t see him utilize his shell and spin with it but whatever.
The story: yes there wasn’t much of a big plot. Do I care? Not really. It’s Mario! You don’t really need a plot per se because you already know the characters, you know the concept of Super Mario. To me, it was as if I was playing a really well animated game. It was fast, fun, and left me with a warm fuzzy feeling. The plot WAS Bowser coming, Mario and Luigi starting a company and not feeling like they’re on top. You don’t need a different story with Mario. Yes, this movie wasn’t on the level of Into the Spider-Verse or Puss in Boots like we were expecting but it didn’t need to be. I had a great time with a story or not
The sound effects: god, the little kid in me wanted to SCREAM. It felt so satisfying to hear all the sounds we hear in the games from hitting a shell, hitting the mystery box, or landing on the flag pole at the end of a level. They really hit the nail with them. And Luigi’s ringtone was GameCube!!
Oh yeah I loved Kamek’s voice. He sounded exactly how I pictured it. He was great. Loved the scene of him dressing up as Peach and getting ANGRY that he didn’t kiss Bowser
What didn’t work:
The slow motion moments: this was when I remembered “oh yea, illumination made this.” Some of the moments were fine with Mario giving Peach a side eye (with rizz). That was funny. But all the other times, it felt like the screaming goats in Thor Love and Thunder. In other words, it was used too much. To me, the slow-motion parts are just “haha, their voice is deep and slow. They move slowly. Haha funny joke.”
The songs: I did say the songs worked but they didn’t at the same time. I LOVED hearing all the familiar songs and sounds from the games. I liked the 80’s songs as Mario was made in the 80’s but it didn’t fit movie. As I said, it would’ve been better if they kept the 80’s songs in the human world and the Mario-esque songs in the Mushroom Kingdom, etc. But Illumination has gotta…illuminate I guess
The pacing: I felt like it was TOO quick. They go from Mario ending up in the Mushroom Kingdom and he finds Toad with barely an introduction and they rush to the castle. Then Mario finds Peach who just so happens to be going to the same place at the right time. There wasn’t enough time to breathe and there could’ve been so many good character interactions and development if they made it longer. We could have had more of Bowser and Luigi, Mario and Toad and Peach. I mean there are lots of characters and they have yet to introduce Yoshi, the Koopalings, and Daisy so hopefully it will be better in the second.
Illumination: I’m not too crazy with this studio. I love Despicable Me 1&2 but the rest are just meh. There were moments in the movie that were just so like this studio that it somewhat felt weird. The plumbing scene was funny but I think that is a good example. The whole thing with the dog being malicious was an Illumination thing. So were some of the models of the humans. The songs. Idk. If this movie was made by another studio like Dreamworks or Sony, maybe it would’ve been better??
Overall, I’d give this movie a 7.5/10. It had great moments and a lot going for it but there is still room for improvement. And that’s completely okay because we still have another movie. We only saw these characters on screen for ONE movie so there’s still more to be seen. I say fuck the critics, they don’t know what they’re talking about. This movie didn’t need to be woke or whatever. It almost didn’t need a plot. This movie was such a beautiful love letter to all of the Nintendo fans and I was smiling the entire time. They knew not to make it flop because of how iconic and beloved Mario is. I felt like a little kid again as I watched my favorite video game characters on screen and now I feel the need to play my Wii or switch. I look forward to seeing what they do in the next film.
TLDR: go see it. It’s a lot of fun
Also LET ME VOICE YOSHI I CAN DO HIS VOICE. IM GOING TO BE ON A TEACHER’S SALARY IM GONNA BE BROKE

Rabbit smiled softly as he looked at Alex, his own cheeks warming to a gentle pink. "Three years is a lot of time to think." He said and offered a half shrug, "And three years without... you know.." Being tormented and singled out. "...Finally let me relax. I'm-... I'm still fucked up, but at least I'm not constantly on high alert anymore." Eyes growing gentle, he searched the other boy's face. He could say the same thing about him. In school, he never really seemed like he knew what do do with himself. He had his camera and the job with the yearbook and newspaper, but the two of them were outcasts through and through. It was... really nice to see Alex seem to find himself.
Opening his mouth to say so, he blinked in surprise as the other leaned in close. He rushed a crooked grin and quickly warmed up once again after the flash, a soft laugh slipping past his lips. Setting the guitar down to lean against his bedside table, he scooted over to peek at the photo as it developed, laughing again at how stupid the two of them looked. With him caught off guard and Alex bruised like a boxer, they made quite a dorky looking pair. Rabbit felt his chest bloom with an unfamiliar feeling; it spread up his neck and down his limbs, leaving him light and almost dizzy. It was a pretty feeling.
Taking it, he stared at it for a moment before reaching over for the table, pulling a thumbtack from the inside. Rabbit pushed himself onto his knees and stuck it next to the poster above his bed, right where he could always see it. When he looked back at Alex, he laughed one more time and rubbed at a pink cheek. He settled himself back down beside him and hesitated a second before pulling him into a tight, but brief hug. There was that thought again, to kiss him again, to knock him onto the bed and suffocate him with all the nervous affection itching to leave him. He wanted to kiss the bruise on his cheek and apologize again, to utter just how much it meant to him that he was still here.
But instead, he let him go and took in a slow breath to ease the pounding in his chest. Rabbit smiled brightly and scratched at his hair, his eyes falling to his lap. "I-... W-When's the next time you have a day or two off? I want to go camping while it's still nice." He told him, "I owe you and I want to make this up to you. You know... The getting beat up thing." Looking at him, he rubbed at his eye and suppressed a yawn before smiling again. "And u-uh-... There's nobody I'm stealing you from, is there? I don't want to screw up your social life." It was an honest question for the most part. The smile on his face pulled sideways and teasing, "You're not part of a disco club I don't know about?"
Rabbit wrinkled his brow and dug through his bag, making sure he had everything. He'd already checked out and let them know he'd be back later that night; he even left them Alex's number just in case. An excited flutter moved through his chest and a small smile tugged at his lips. Even before juvenile detention, he'd never really hung out with anyone before, but now he was seeing Alex almost regularly. And he liked Alex-- He really liked him. Alex was smart and funny and talented and when Rabbit looked at him, he didn't see any judgement in his eyes for the mistakes he made. He felt safe around Alex.
Throwing the bag over his shoulder and standing up straight, he ruffled a hand through his hair and smoothed a wrinkle from his jean jacket before starting his walk. The library was the perfect spot for them to meet. If he was lucky, he'd be able to take a quick peek at Alex's new display before they left for the camp grounds to go look for some animals.
Outside the building, Rabbit glanced around and scratched at the little bit of stubble on his chin. Alex was either inside or not here yet. He moved to step in to check, but froze when he felt a hand on his back.
"You're Jonathan Stone."
Oh god. Despite the discomfort those words brought, his face was blank as he turned to face the man that stopped him. Blinking slowly, he shrugged. Something was familiar about the face that stared at him, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Maybe it was the beard? Or the sunglasses?
"You killed my friend. Dezzie."
Desmond. His brother. Rabbit's lip twitched, his eyes widening just a little. That meant this was one of his friends; one of the kids from high-school that tormented him with the help of both of his foster brothers. Taking a step back, he put his hands up and kept his eyes on the ground. His body felt electrified and hot, his stomach squeezing.
"You hear me, faggot?" The man asked again taking a step towards him. "You murdered one of my closest friends and you're not gonna say a word?" Reaching out, he took Rabbit by the jacket and slammed him against the brick. "I should beat the shit out of you!"
Rabbit's heart pounded, his eyes wide. Parting his lips, he tried to speak, but couldn't. Squeezing his eyes shut, he remained still and clenched his jaw.
"HEY! Look at me when I'm talking to you!" The man slammed him again, "I'm gonna make you pay for what you did!"

Ask and thou shalt receive ✨❤️ hope you enjoy it!
Our Story - Max Fewtrell
gender neutral first person pov // 912 words // quadrant core being chaotic; just fluff
---
“Wait, Max, are you lying in bed?”
“Yeah? What of it?”
“Lazy sod!”
“Oi! It’s Sunday afternoon, I’m allowed to be lazy!”
The bickering continued next to me. Max was, in fact, lying on his bed with his phone stretched out in front of him, watching his friends faces on the screen. It was always nice when they did social calls - I got a good giggle out of whatever stories the core Quadrant members had to share.
Even though they didn’t know I existed.
My boyfriend looked over from his spot, to see me smiling as I lay next to him and I watched his eyes turn to hearts in front of me. Unfortunately, I wasn’t the only one.
“Max! What are you looking at?” Ria’s voice was heard.
“Nothing.”
“Lies! He’s gone all gooey.” Niran. “Who’s with you?”
“No one, it’s just me.” Max tried to defend himself.
Even though I couldn’t see them, I could imagine the faces of everyone on the call as more chaos ensued.
I couldn’t stop myself: I laughed.
“Oh my god there is something with you!” Lando nearly yelled.
It became impossible to hear anyone clearly for a few seconds as they all spoke over each other. Max’s face scrunched up at all the voices, clearly regretting his life choices.
“Hello random person!”
“Is it someone we know?”
“Let’s see them then!”
Gently, I patted Max’s leg to get his attention and he moved closer.
“It’s ok, you can tell them,” I whispered in his ear.
“Are you sure?” He whispered back.
I nodded, to which Max smiled and got back in front of the camera.
“Ok, ok! All of you shut up!”
The silence came thick and fast.
“I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”
~ It had started just like any other day. The sun baked the streets and made buildings glitter as it hit windows far above my head. I had planned my day ahead of time and knew exactly what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go.
And then everything went sideways when I saw him. He was standing by himself on the pavement, a confused expression on his face and a map in his hand. Normally, I would leave tourists to their own devices – there were plenty of places to get help if one needed it. But there was something about him; maybe it was the spark of kindness that I saw in his eyes as he moved out of an elderly man’s way.
“Excuse me?”
He turned, looking as bewildered as I felt by this interaction.
“Do you need some help?” I asked, and watched his entire body relax.
“Yeah. Yes, please. I’m so lost.” He said in a British accent and smiled, almost nervously.
On the map, he pointed out where he was wanted to go and much to his luck, I was going the same way.
“We can walk together,” I suggested. “Make sure that you don’t get lost again.”
“I would very much appreciate that.”
And so, we walked. He told me his name was Max and then I told him mine. He explained to me about how he had wanted to be a normal tourist for the day, get out onto the streets and experience Dubai for himself. And how with that experience had come with getting lost within the first five minutes of leaving his hotel.
Although I felt bad, I was also amused. Max seemed so genuine in his efforts and the way he spoke about things. It didn’t hurt either that he was kind of cute.
- “When’s your flight landing?”
“It should be 4pm UK time.”
The airport was grand and it seemed that the stream of people moving about never seemed to end. But soon enough I would be in the air and on my way to England, and this would be a memory.
“Ok, send me a message when you land,” Max’s voice was soft through the phone.
“Yes, Max. You’ve already asked me to do that.”
“Sorry, I just want to make sure that I’m there.” He paused. “I’ve really missed you.”
“I’ve missed you too. But we’ll see each other soon.”
I looked up and saw the sign change, showing that it was time to board.
“Max, I have to go, we’re boarding.”
“Fly safe, please.”
I laughed a little at that. “I’m not the one flying the plane.”
“I know but… just… Be safe, I love you.”
~ Max finished telling our story and waited with baited breath.
“You’ve been in a relationship for a year and we didn’t know about it!?” Lando finally said.
“Yeah.”
“Can we meet them?” Steve.
Max seemed hesitant. Despite having told them the whole story, a year of keeping everything on the downlow was about to officially end. I could see that Max didn’t want to give it up just yet.
“Max,” I said quietly. “Give me the phone.”
Slowly, Max passed the phone over as I sat up properly.
“Hello, everyone.”
Yet again that afternoon, chaos erupted as everyone on the call tried to be the first to say ‘hello’ or ask questions.
The smile was on my face without even thinking. I felt Max slip his arm around my shoulders and pull me closer.
