SYNASTRY I WANT TO EXPERIENCE
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I made a quick about how I wanted two specific synastry placements to happen to me and I figured I might as well make a post about all the synastry placements I really want to experience at some point. who knows maybe me just typing it out and posting it will get me exactly what I ask for
OVERLAYS
(these can go with either placements in my house or vise versa)
VENUS 1H
Mannnnn I just want someone to look at me and be like yeah thatā€™s my type right there. But this placement doesnā€™t also have to be about physical appearance. Their mannerisms, their personality and how they present themselves to others match with your values and what you want in a partner.
MARS 2H
Maybe itā€™s cuz Iā€™m a Taurus mars but by what Iā€™ve heard about mars in 2H synastry I like the vibes. Working towards stability and being very sensual with your partner. Both partners can be very patient and slow to anger each other but the main downside would probably be holding grudges/ being petty with other when mad.
MARS/EROS/ 8H
I just want to feel intensely desired and yes I know that 8H overlays can be rough but listen most people in my life have their Pluto conjunct my moon and my chart ruler is the 8H so I might be a-ok than most people with this intense placement(s)
JUNO 1H
Technically Iā€™ve had this before but I want it again and this time I want it to be mutual ā€œlove at first sightā€ vibe. And again this placement can be more than just a physical thing. its not just your ideal type you feel that this person is your ideal PERSON. you see each other as equals in partnership. and you can imagine marrying them.
JUNO 7H
I mean this ones pretty self explanatory. you'll want to marry this person for sure at some point or you at least think about it a lot. The romantic connection is there, it's so strong. And I just want to feel what that's like. (I aint getting married anytime soon tho. girl I'm 18)
DESTINN 6H
In my humble onion (that's a typo but Im not changing it) I think this can mean being destined to have everyday life with each other. Doing daily routines and having a groove and flow with your partner. I like that.
NATAL OR COMPOSITE
JUNO CONJ. VENUS
Love, devotion, all the feels. By what I've read there's so much loyalty and love between each other. The commitment is so strong. And typically Venus rules over love and Juno rules over marriage. so marriage indicator.
JUNO CONJ. JUPITER
Another for sure marriage indicator. Jupiter ruling over the husband and Juno being about marriage is so fitting as well. Perfect match. they influence and inspire each other.
JUPITER CONJ. MOON
So much affection, bliss, and joy in this. Cozy and content. You open each others mind and want to travel not only the world together but your emotions. theres potentially to overindulge in each other but a mature couple will figure out their boundaries and communicate them well with each other. nonetheless I would die for this placement. This is THE marriage placement imo because Moon = Wife and Jupiter = Husband.
JUPITER CONJ. VENUS
The abundance of love. The freedom Venus feels with Jupiter and the endless compassion the Venus makes an abundance of love.
COMPOSITE
LIBRA IN BIG 3/VENUS
Pretty sure this is also a sign of marriage. Usually balance in love. Just in ideal placement(s) to have in composite.
CANCER IN BIG 3/VENUS
I've talked about why I like composite cancer ring but honestly I'm fine with any of these placements being cancer. I want to feel like I've found someone who feels like home and quite literally build a home with someone.
TAURUS IN BIG 3/VENUS
I need stability in my life... that and its another Venus ruled sign and thatā€™s always good for a composite chart.
12H SUN
Hear me out now šŸ˜­āœ‹ Iā€™ve technically experienced this one too but it never turned into an actual relationship and I saw him more as a quick fling. This placement isnā€™t bad cuz itā€™s in the 12H. I feel like with the right person it can still be challenging but also quite beautiful. Maybe this is my Pisces self wanting a deep soulful and spiritual connection with someone special. I mean I donā€™t mind regular 12H synastry so šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Have you had any of these aspects/placements? What was your experience? šŸ’‹

Lily Orchard Deserves Better
These thoughts have been rumbling around in my mind for a while now and considering what happened recently with her tumblr being taken down twice and the recent situations, I just wanted to give my two cents so my brain can stop bothering me about it. Heads up for typos and grammar since I wrote this on my phone.
The first Lily Orchard video I ever watched was Over Cooked, a video about Steven Universeā€™s handling of Amethysts character. Now even as a 12 year old at the time I still knew it was better for me to avoid the content I know would make me mad, and I was a huge fan of SU at the time. But curiosity got the better of me and I ended up watching it.
Then I watched more. Because she made sense. Then I wanted more of her videos. I vividly remember thinking to myself ā€œwow that was harshā€ every now and then, but beyond that there werenā€™t too many cases where I was actually mad at her (because Iā€™m not a pathetic diaper baby who gets mad at opinions what who said that?)
I watched her from then on rip my previous favourite show to pieces, I watched her rip brony pedos and crybabies to pieces and I loved nearly all of it, even if I didnā€™t agree with some of it.
It took me a while, donā€™t get me wrong. She discussed it herself in a few videos: people on the internet are used to a lot of shield jokes and bootlicking by the creators (which is fine!). But once I built of more of a tolerance by listening to what she had to say, I found myself a lot more critical in the long run.
Now I still havenā€™t quite learned my lesson on my curiosity getting me to watch things that I know will make me mad, so Iā€™ve seen a few Lily Orchard debunking videos. Near every single time it is blatantly obvious that they either didnā€™t understand what her actual point was, or are deliberately misunderstanding it. I just wanted to grab my monitor and shake it screaming ā€œTHATS LITERALLY NOT WHAT SHE MEANTā€ but alas.
The sheer amount of harassment that Lily has gone through for OVER A DECADE is ridiculous. Especially considering a huge amount is from whiny cartoon stans who have nothing going on in their lives.
As for the criminal allegations, if they have the proof they claim (and proof that has apparently convinced other friends so apparently despite Lilyā€™s previous support of them) then take it to a courtroom. Iā€™m personally done listening to those sorts of accusations until something is at least ATTEMPTED to be done about it in a meaningful manner.
As for Stockholm allegations: Iā€™ve seen the clips. I saw one years ago and it broke my heart at the time. It does seem like Lily might have written Stockholm. But I havenā€™t done lots of searching into that. You know why?
Lily has made it abundantly clear, for the entire seven years Iā€™ve been watching her (at least as long as I can remember) EXACTLY where she stands when it comes to pedophilic behavior, proshippers, abuse victims, and that type of content.
Did she write Stockholm? Her behavior and stance nowadays means that, to me at least, it doesnā€™t matter. The Lily of today (hell, even years ago) certainly wouldnā€™t support such a fic and would rake the writer over hot fiery coals, sheā€™s made that blatantly obvious.
Would admitting if she did write it been the morally correct thing to do instead of denying it? Yes.
Do I blame her for a denying it (if she did write it)? After seeing even a tip of the harassment iceberg sheā€™s had to endure for far pettier things? I donā€™t blame her a bit.
Either she never wrote Stockholm and sheā€™s always held these beliefs and behaviors, or she saw the error of her previous behavior and CHANGED FOR THE BETTER. Itā€™s not like it would have been the last time, I see she tries her best to correct her mistakes.
Honestly? Thatā€™s good enough for me. Harassing her over a fic from a decade ago that she has either never even written or blatantly disowned and now condemn the very behavior of is just nonsense. All of it is.
Anyways Lily, I love your content and I really hope you can keep doing what youā€™re doing and writing what you love ā¤ļø

Note
i canā€™t imagine how violating having your work fed into ai felt and the more Iā€™ve thought about it today the more it disturbs me. youā€™ve put so much wonderful stuff into this fandom and it should be treated with respect.
šŸ«‚ if you want them. iā€™m truly sorry that happened.
Honestly I went through a lot of emotions, and I think in the moment I was mostly in shock because... they came in with like... excitement? A "hey! :D I really love what you make so I wanted to make you something with your ship! I used AI to make it!" kind of a moment and I just stared at the messages as they kept going
The only reason why I didn't purge my stuff back then was the fact that the longer they went on, the more they started to double down without me even saying a word (or them even knowing I had seen the messages), because they could see for themselves how messed up it was. And they concluded something like "so maybe this could be used as a kind of a prompt". Which was a relatively easy footing for me as well when I eventually did type back, because... I genuinely didn't get ill intention vibes from the person, and they were self-aware enough to see how it must've felt like without me having to explain it
But still. Like the one question in my mind was "if you like it so much, then why are you doing this to it?"
I know that some people are very insecure about their English skills (which is also why they sometimes comment in their native language instead of English; and I've thought about replying in my own), or creative abilities in general, which... like that I DO GET. That I understand. I've been there. I am still there. That's what learning new skills and developing them feels like. But... I don't mind the typos or incorrect grammar or structural issues or whatever, just don't... bastardize my writing.
Because it's like... I knit a shirt. You take the shirt and say you like it a lot. You start pulling the threads apart and stick it into a sewing machine to make a franken shirt, and hand it back with "it's better now! I used a machine to fix it!" Which will inevitably make me feel like whatever time and effort I put into my craft, the development of the shirt (or story) and the pattern (the characters) actually isn't good. And if you want a sweater that's made of plastic "yarn" and can barely survive two turns in a washing machine, you can go buy one. Go ahead, I can't exactly stop you, but plastic shirts (no matter how fluffy) won't keep you warm like real wool.
yeah... that was not a good day
But thanks for the hugs, they're very much appreciated

Frequently Asked Questions
Update: 8/29/2024
I would like to remind everyone that I am just another fan, and this is a fan project. I have no control over character dialogue.
Remember to be kind in my ask box and notes. I cannot explain why some character lines were chosen to be cut from the game, nor is this the place to start character discourse. I am also not a machine - I am a person with feelings and other hobbies. I love to take dialogue requests, but asks that demand certain quests or are rude will be swiftly deleted. Repeat offenders, or especially rude anons, will be blocked.
Please be courteous! This is something I enjoy doing, and I ask that you keep the experience enjoyable for myself and your fellow fans.
What is this project?
DAI Transcripts is my endeavor to document and format all of the dialogue (companion comments, location banter, various remarks, and more!) in Dragon Age: Inquisition. I started this project in 2019 as a spiritual successor to the discontinued @dragonagetranscripts. 慤慤 慤 慤
Why are you doing this?
Because god has punished me for my hubris and my work is never done.Ā 
jk itā€™s actually because I was sick of watching bad letā€™s plays while trying to work on my longficĀ so I took matters into my own hands.Ā  慤慤 慤 慤
How do you know you're using accurate dialogue? Where are you finding the deleted lines?
I type the transcripts by hand side-by-side with the game files, a plot flag editor, numerous youtube playthroughs, and my own game open. I also keep a number of handwritten notes on plot flag strings. I have played DA:I over 30 times, and crowd-source from the communities I'm in.
I do occasionally miss things or can't figure out exactly how a piece of dialogue fits, but I always note this within the transcripts. 慤慤 慤
Where did you learn to read the files?
I used to create my own mods for DA:I - There are a tutorials online that cover dialogue file editing you can find on the nexus. 慤慤 慤
Can you share the audio files?
Unfortunately, this isn't something I'm willing to take on right now. Each line must be extracted one at a time and renamed as you go, or every line within a dialogue file will try to export with the same name (some files have hundreds of lines). They are not logically named and it is a lot of trial and error. 慤慤 慤
Why do you use "PC" instead of "Inquisitor" or "Herald"?
The game files use "Hero," and to save myself the trouble of trying to differentiate between conversations that can happen before or after reaching Skyhold I decided to use the neutral "Player Character," or "PC". 慤慤 慤
You typo'd/did a thing wrong/youā€™re missing race/class specific dialogue!
Please let me know in an ask - I hope to have a very accurate account of all the dialogue, so donā€™t be afraid to let me know if Iā€™m missing something or have any egregious typos.
Please note: since this project has been ongoing for nearly 5 years, I bridged over the change in text editors. Additionally, I only started referring to the text files around the end of 2022.
Posts made before August 2023 (around the middle of Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts) may have formatting errors due to the change from old to new text editor and missing dialogue. 慤慤 慤
Will you do -insert quest-?
Short answer: Hopefully, yes!
Long Answer: I intend on working through the game from start to finish, first main quests, then secondary/companion quests, and then romances. DLC, location, and side-quest dialogue are on the list as well.
If you want to see something specific, just drop me an ask! I don't mind it at all, and sometimes it's a refreshing little break. 慤慤 慤
Who are you anyway?
I'm Plisuu in disguise :) I am a high school teacher, artist, and writer. You can find me on all social media under the same name, though I'm only really active on tumblr these days. 慤慤 慤
Please take my money! How can I support you?
I have a Ko-fi, but honestly, the kind messages and tags I get on my posts are more than enough! The best way to support me is by sharing this resource :)
Feel free to share your fics with me as well, I love seeing how different folks use the dialogue given to us and spin such unique and varied stories.
Remember, my ask box and messages are always open!

Ch205 (p2), Apititude
Idk what's up with the typos lately, but I hope they fix this before the Yen Press volume gets printed. Anyway....
We start where we left off, with Doll saying "Snake...?" First, Snake answers as himself. Then Emily has him ask what's happened to her. But we return to Snake speaking for himself (I think) when he asks if that's blood. Emily wouldn't need to ask because, as a snake, she can definitely tell exactly what that is.
Tumblr media
The head matron just says Doll is sick and receiving treatments for it. Then she suggests they all go upstairs, where they can ask questions while she makes tea. But Theo sees through the BS and calls her out on it.
Tumblr media
He clearly sees that the bottle Doll is receiving "treatment" from says Canopus, meaning she must be the Canopus star he overheard them talking about earlier. And he addresses Doll directly.
Tumblr media
Doll is sweating, but before she can answer, the head matron notices the jars of organs and demands to know why they are holding them. I guess it's still the head matron saying it must be Theo's idea, saying it's difficult to deal with these kids when they match their aptitudes too well. Especially the Pomeranians, I should think.
Tumblr media
What a terrible person that she would shoot at children and that her only regret is to waste the body of such a promising candidate for one of the stars (Lord Sirius/Ciel, in this case). Honestly, I should think Undertaker and real Ciel would be particularly upset that Theo had been killed like this. His body would be severely damaged, and his soul would be gone before Undertaker could collect it for his own purposes.

Game Thoughts: Blackhaven by Historiated Games
Tumblr media
Honestly, we only got this one because we were looking for free games at the time, and this caught our attention. It took a while for us to actually play this game simply because we didnā€™t have the hardware for it. Or at least, we felt we didnā€™t.
I am glad that we were able to play it eventually. I would say that this is a very nice game. - B
Whatā€™s It All About?
You play as Kendra Turner, a black college intern in Blackhaven Hall, which commemorates a man who, in the world of the game, was a forgotten founding father of the United States. She was assigned to man the fort during Flag Day, and do certain tasks that needed to be done for the improvement of the place. While she goes through the said tasks, she finds out that the establishment has been hiding a certain secretā€¦
World/Character/Story Development
The story happens in an alternate US, where thereā€™s an apparently forgotten Founding Father named Thomas Harwood. And this is important to note, since American history (particularly the American Revolution) provides much of the context regarding the main conflict of the story.
I noted earlier that the main character is black, and as ā€œracistā€ as it may sound, it is also an important part of the story/conflict. As you may well know, slavery was a key point of contention between the North and the South, and who were the slaves? The black people.
At first, Kendra goes through the motions, believing that she was fortunate to get this internship. She was planning to use it as a stepping stone for getting to Greece, in the form of a recommendation. I believe she planned to go through further studies or a job related to her field. Iā€™m not exactly sure.
But that starts to matter less as she goes through the tasks that were assigned to her, and finds out about the dark past and secret that the institution has been hiding from people. And what theyā€™ve been hiding is the fact that thereā€™s a certain black woman and her family who were actually connected to the Harwoods by blood and were supposed to also get part of the money from the company the Harwoods now own.
All because black people were ā€œjust slavesā€ and werenā€™t even treated as people. If you read some of the documents, youā€™ll see some of the family members describe black people as something close to animals. Itā€™s disgusting, but weā€™re sure people have thought that before, and still think it now.
That, and the fact that she was apparently only hired as an intern for ā€œdiversity pointsā€, drives Kendra to ultimately give up her dream of getting to Greece (at least for the present time) and help this other black family get what is rightfully theirs as people.
I like how the game shows how the past affects the present, and how the future can be changed for the better based on what we learn of the past. I also like how they show that technology can make it even more possible for people to find out the truth (for example, recent archaeological discoveries, DNA tests, Facebook).
Graphics
The graphics remind us of those programs where you make 3D models for architecture, and I think it fits, considering architecture plays a large part in Blackhaven Hall. Now, you might say that I consider it ā€œlow qualityā€, but thatā€™s not the case, especially if you remember that it IS a free game. I would consider decent 3D graphics a plus for a free and short game.
What surprises me/us is the fact that most of the text is readable. But then again, reading is a huge chunk of the gameplay, and it wouldnā€™t have so much impact if people didnā€™t read that much. And itā€™s part of the reason why I like this game in particular.
Speaking of text, thereā€™s also the option of including subtitles, which is nice for those who have auditory processing issues.
However, there are some typos, but thatā€™s alright. At least it doesnā€™t distract much from the story.
Audio
Audio is a little unusual, in the sense that thereā€™s barely any background music. Most of the time, you will hear ambient sounds, like air conditioning, footsteps, and the leaves rustling in the wind. I do like that they put some attention to it, like how the sound of footsteps changes when you transition between glass and stone.
Thereā€™s also some dialogue, but most of it is spoken thoughts by Kendra, as well as the guide for the audio tour of the mansion. The only exception would be actual conversations between Kendra and her mom, as well as Kendra and a surviving member of the family she wanted to help.
Itā€™s not to say that thereā€™s NO background music, as thereā€™s some that plays when important events happen. And I think thatā€™s reasonable. After all, this is not one of those TV shows, where you have loud background music all the time.
Gameplay
Controls are pretty much what you would expect (WASD for movement, right-click for selecting things/actions), although there are some keys used that somewhat throw me off, like the use of R for exiting a zoom-in. Thankfully, thereā€™s always a guide at the top left corner of the screen.
And speaking of guides, I find it nice that the experience is guided enough that you know where to go and what to do, and youā€™re not left having to backtrack too much for clues/hints. Thereā€™s also some leeway for exploration, especially with the gallery and audio tour parts.
During the document scanning part, Iā€™ve had a small fear that I would forget something, but fortunately, Kendra comments if, say, you need to complete the reading before scanning. I havenā€™t tested whether she will comment something if you forget to scan and try to go to the next page, though.
I would recommend that you play it in full screen, though, since the mouse controls kind of have a hard time on windowed mode.
Also, donā€™t bother scrolling during the email portions using the mouse. Youā€™re better off using W and S for it.
Also, during the document scanning, even if it doesnā€™t say so, you can zoom in on text with F.
Overall
If you want something thatā€™s free, fairly short, and has a very good story, I would recommend this game. Just be warned that thereā€™s a lot of discussion on racism, so if youā€™re not into that, well, youā€™re warned. Also, this needs a bit of brainwork, so make sure you pay full attention while you play.
The devs estimate it at around two hours of play, but it will extend to around 3 or 4 if youā€™re reading intently, depending on your speed.
Pros
Itā€™s a free game
Great story and character development
A good ending, at least. Not what the main character expected, but definitely better.
Cons
Controls are a little different from the usual
A few typos in the text, but nothing too distracting
Thereā€™s almost no background music, save for a few important moments
You may get it on Steam. Also, there's an upcoming sequel for it called Cassius. If we could afford it, I think we'll get it as well.

she can't understand why tai's talking to her like that, like she's endeared, but maybe it's just the alcohol to blameā€” it's not like she knows what tai's like drunk, because they never got to have normal experiences together like that, although that's mostly of mikayla's own doing for leaving parties so early in high school. ā€œ i didn't get hit on by that liquor store guy just to not even drink the fucking thing. ā€ of course, she didn't actually care about that, because she'll take random men hitting on her over calling her a murderer any day; she just needed to try something to make herself feel better that day, but that doesn't feel like something she could tell tai.
mikayla closes her eyes for a moment, letting out a deep sigh, because she doesn't want to hear tai apologize if she's not ever going to apologize for what she actually did wrong, but she knows that's not a conversation they should have right now. ā€œ i know what it's like, ā€ she says dryly, although she didn't have the option to get back to her life at all, not when it was all ripped away from her. she looks down at the counter, grimacing slightly, because she knows what tai means, even if that's not the way mikayla sees natā€” she looks at her and still sees the same girl who made her childhood a little less miserable, a little less lonely. but she still understands what it's like, because she looks at travis and sees his brother, though that's not entirely a bad thingā€” she's reminded of how badly things ended with javi, and it only makes her more determined to make sure travis stays safe, that she doesn't lose him, too.
ā€œ that's what you see when you look at me, too. ā€ she means to phrase it as a question, but it doesn't come out that way, sounding more like she's just accepting it, like that's the answer to why tai left her behind so quickly. obviously she wouldn't see exactly the same thing in mikayla as nat, but she imagines it's only worse. that maybe tai just sees the blood all over her from her first kill, that she remembers just how willing she was to sacrifice anyone around her to save her life. she clenches her jaw, ignoring the urge to tell tai that she didn't mean to kill again, that she had no choice, that she didn't like it, because she's spent the last eight years trying to defend herself for what happened with her father, and she's tired of it.
she's already forgotten the typos she'd made over text, so she doesn't understand why tai's giggling; she can only assume it's because she's talking about her stupid fucking fiancee, because she's that in love, and it makes her feel sick. she doesn't stop her from talking about her, though, as painful as it is to hear it, because she's not supposed to be bothered by that, not if she wants to pretend she's moved on. at least her passing comment about jeff answers one of the many questions she's had over the years, confirms the suspicion that tai wasn't supportive of that marriage. her brows furrow, finally looking up at her for a moment, confused. ā€œ why not? ā€ she knows shauna didn't like herā€” but that's why she's so confused, because she can only imagine that tai's fiancee is nothing like mikayla, so what could her problem possibly be?
she wants to believe nat would behave, because she's always wanted to see the best in her, even if she knows that nat is capable of causing a scene. but she hopes that nat would keep it together on tai's wedding day for her sake, even if the selfish part of her would want nat to ruin everything. ā€œ you don't even have a guest list yet, but you know it's an open bar? ā€ she scoffs. that question puts her on edge, feeling like it's a trap, like she's not allowed to answer honestly. she doesn't want the wedding to happen at all, but does it matter whether it does or not? even if nat did object, cause a scene, whatever, it wouldn't change the fact that tai's in love with someone else, that mikayla lost her years ago. ā€œ no. you... deserve to be happy. ā€
mikayla makes the mistake of looking over at tai, but the moment she catches her smile, she looks away, because she's not strong enough to look at her like that, especially when there's alcohol in her system. at least talking about her father is a good enough distraction, because it's hard to feel longing if he's on her mind, so she expands on itā€” partly to distract herself, partly because she's just missed talking to tai. ā€œ i don't know even what she saw in him. aphā€” my mom. she sucks, too, but... not like he did. ā€ as much as mikayla resents her, she can't deny that her mother doesn't have the same hatred in her eyes that her father didā€” she knows she feels guilty, which is more than her dad ever felt, and while mikayla also knows it's only because she gave her mother no choice but to face that guilt, at least it's something.
already, she can feel the alcohol setting in, feeling more relaxed suddenly, although she also knows that the feeling won't last. she scoffs, shaking her head. ā€œ uh, fuck no. i worked in a bar when i first got out andā€” the men were gross. ā€ assholes, mostly; it didn't surprise her, because her father was the type to spend his night at sport bars, probably harassing the waitresses there, too. she shouldn't mention it, but she decides she doesn't care, finally feeling comfortable enough to manage a small smile as she brings her glass back up to her lips, forcing herself to take another drink before she goes on, ā€œ i guess i can't blame them. the uniform was, likeā€” a cheer outfit. so i was hot. ā€ she should just leave it at that, but she tells herself it would be funny to blow her a kiss right here in the middle of the kitchen, hoping that tai still remembers how she'd do the same thing on the field over a decade ago. but the moment she does it, her face gets warm, and despite knowing she should slow down, she takes another drink, trying to pretend like nothing happened.
tai nods her head slowly,Ā  but sheā€™s frustrated,Ā  because itā€™s something so small,Ā  yet she hates not knowing what her life is really like now.Ā  she never really got the chance to know her in the real worldā€”Ā  they kept their distance from each other before,Ā  despite the feelings they didnā€™t know what to make of,Ā  and tai never gave them a chance to get to know each other in the aftermath of everything. Ā  āĀ  yeah.Ā  i guess youā€™re right.Ā  thatā€™s why i didnā€™t stick with wine,Ā  āžĀ  she admits,Ā  taking another drink of her own creation sheā€™d made before mikayla got hereā€” a little extra courage, because she didnā€™t expect any of this to go simply. Ā  āĀ  whatever,Ā  āž Ā  she mumbles, knowing thereā€™s no point in arguing. Ā  āĀ  but i still owe you, āž Ā  she insists, raising a browā€” because she doesnā€™t mean another pizza. Ā  sheā€™s not even sure what she means, really, because them spending time together really doesnā€™t make sense at all,Ā  but she still wants more of her in some way.Ā  and, really, she knows she owes her much more than she could ever possibly say, anyway. Ā 
she watches her curiously as she makes her drink,Ā  and though tai hasnā€™t made many herself,Ā  sheā€™s at least definitely sure thatā€™s way too muchā€”Ā  but she doesnā€™t expect mikayla to listen to her,Ā  anyway,Ā  so she tries to mind her business,Ā  despite her amusement in mikaylaā€™s choices. Ā  sheā€™s caught off guard when she tells her nat tried to talk her out of it,Ā  grateful for their mutual friend,Ā  even if a bit surprised that she hadnā€™t been the one to push it in the first place.Ā  but then again, she doesnā€™t really know nat as well as she claims to,Ā  quick to assume the worst just because sheā€™s the one cleaning up her messes.Ā  āĀ  and you didnā€™t listen,Ā  āž Ā  she notes, letting out a scoff, but itā€™s mostly playful. Ā  āĀ  always so stubborn,Ā  āž Ā  she adds,Ā  speaking quieter now,Ā  a hint of adoration in her tone.
her face starts to fall when she realizes mikayla might take what she said personally.Ā  she canā€™t blame herā€”Ā  itā€™s true,Ā  and itā€™s true for mikayla,Ā  too. Ā  thatā€™s exactly why she stayed away;Ā  it wasnā€™t about what mikayla did once she was home or what happened to her following that.Ā  it was about tai needing to break away from it all,Ā  to separate herself from it entirely,Ā  afraid that if she hung on to anything she had out there,Ā  then sheā€™d never get to move on.Ā  it was a horrible way to end things with mikayla,Ā  and the justification likely makes no sense given what they hadĀ  (Ā  it barely makes sense to tai, eitherĀ  ) Ā  but everything she experienced out there personally made it feel necessary. Ā  she doesnā€™t remember ever sleepwalking before her time in the wilderness,Ā  and sleepwalking led to her giving up control of herself entirely,Ā  taken over by something that she refused to believe was herself.Ā  it got people hurt,Ā  it scared her,Ā  it burdened mikayla.Ā  she had no idea what to expect from herself when she was back home,Ā  but it was her biggest fear,Ā  knowing she may bring that back with her. Ā  but she never did it when she was home,Ā  and she didnā€™t know if that was just because she was back to safe shelter,Ā  or because she was well rested and fed,Ā  or because she was away from the people she was with out there.Ā  she would never blame mikayla for what she went through out thereā€”especially not after mikayla helped her through it when she didnā€™t have to.Ā  but still, she couldnā€™t ignore the fact that breaking free of it all entirely seemed to cure her of whatever happened to her out there. Ā 
āĀ  fuck.Ā  iā€™m sorry,Ā  āž Ā  she mumbles,Ā  though sheā€™s not even sure what sheā€™s apologizing for, exactly. Ā  āĀ  itā€™s just hard,Ā  trying to get back to my life,Ā  and being reminded of what we went through.Ā  not that anyone ever gives us the chance to forget it, anyway, Ā  āž Ā  she mumbles, rolling her eyes,Ā  oblivious to what sheā€™s really saying outright: Ā  a confession, really, about why she didnā€™t choose to be there for mikayla when she needed it.Ā  it was selfish,Ā  taiā€™s way of trying to protect her own peace while ultimately hurting mikayla in the process. Ā  āĀ  i love nat.Ā  obviously,Ā  āž Ā  she insists,Ā  ignoring the way her own words start to slur,Ā  her hand waving around in front of her. Ā  āĀ  but sometimes i look at her and, you know, i seeā€”Ā  āžĀ  Ā  she shrugs her shoulders,Ā  making a face as if the rest is obvious: Ā  the antlers on her head,Ā  ones she had and still is devoted to now,Ā  but thatā€™s why itā€™s hard to form a real friendship with her beyond just trying to take care of her.Ā  that devotion is so specific,Ā  and itā€™s hard to shake the rest of what comes with it ā€” the praying, the sacrifices,Ā  the choices justified by another entity tai really canā€™t let herself think about.Ā 
she wouldnā€™t be saying any of this at all if she were soberā€”Ā  likely the reason sheā€™d always been so careful about how much she drank when she was in college ā€” but she hadnā€™t anticipated seeing anyone today, especially not her.Ā  maybe if she were paying more attention to what she was actually saying out loud, sheā€™s be quicker to assure mikayla that when she sees her,Ā  itā€™s not just their trauma she thinks about. Ā  ironically, that might make it easier to be around herā€” because instead, she thinks of the love they had, the love she still feels, and sheā€™s wrecked with regret and longing that she canā€™t do anything about, because sheā€™s committed to moving on.Ā  Ā 
āĀ  myā€” fiancee,Ā  āžĀ  she starts,Ā  a soft giggle following.Ā  she canā€™t help it,Ā  because itā€™s too amusing, remembering the way mikayla spelled it earlier,Ā  and she didnā€™t blame her for the misspelling,Ā  but in the state she was in,Ā  it was so hard not to really think about the way mikayla wouldā€™ve spoken the word sheā€™d actually written,Ā  and again,Ā  sheā€™s endeared just by the thought.Ā  sheā€™s endeared by her.Ā  āĀ  she hasnā€™t met any of them.Ā  not even shauna,Ā  āž Ā  she adds with a small scoff.Ā  obviously, thatā€™s going to have to change at some point.Ā  sheā€™d told simone she wasnā€™t interested in a bridal party, only offering the maid of honor spot to shauna because itā€™s what made the most sense, but it feels strange even to have her there,Ā  despite everything, even if tai had been to her wedding.Ā  she doesnā€™t know why sheā€™s telling mikayla any of this, aside from being drunk,Ā  but now she canā€™t seem to help herself as she goes on.Ā 
āĀ  sheā€™s tried.Ā  keeps asking me to set up some dinner with shauna and her fucking husband,Ā  āž Ā  she says, rolling her eyes as she thinks of jeffĀ  ( to no fault of his own, taiā€™s only annoyed at the situation ā€” as if sheā€™s not putting herself in a similar one.Ā  )Ā  āĀ  but i just donā€™t want shauna to meet her. Ā  she wouldnā€™t like her,Ā  āž Ā  she says it casually, like mikaylaā€™s a close friend she can gossip with easily.Ā  and she has no real reason to believe that, other than shauna knows her too well to not see right through her.Ā  shauna and mikayla might not have ever been close,Ā  but shauna at least knows that sheā€™s the love of taissaā€™s life.Ā  taiā€™s only real comfort is knowing shauna would be a hypocrite to speak on it.
her brows furrow and she gives mikayla a challenging look,Ā  like they both know taiā€™s right.Ā  taiā€™s only over-exaggerating, though.Ā  āĀ  itā€™s an open bar.Ā  so,Ā  yeah,Ā  she probably will,Ā  āž Ā  she scoffs.Ā  but thatā€™s not what sheā€™s really worried aboutā€” Ā  sheā€™s worried about nat calling tai on everything sheā€™s desperate not to address with herself.Ā  because when nat chooses to hit, she hits hard, and taiā€™s defense is rarely ever relevant, just an attempt to shut her down. Ā  her face falls again,Ā  like mikaylaā€™s said something forbidden.Ā  she frowns,Ā  looking down at her drink,Ā  and picturing it,Ā  like she knows she shouldnā€™t.Ā  she imagines mikayla running in,Ā  grabbing taiā€™s hand,Ā  forcing her to think about what she really wants.Ā  itā€™s not a fantasy she ever allowed herself to go to before running into mikayla,Ā  but how can she not think about it while sheā€™s standing in front of her? Ā  āĀ  do you want her to?Ā  āž Ā  she blurts,Ā  even though she definitely shouldnā€™t,Ā  and finally picks up her drink again to try to ignore her desire to actually hear her answer. Ā 
taiā€™s own face scrunches up while mikayla makes a face,Ā  almost like itā€™s instinct, following her lead, experiencing whatever it is that mikaylaā€™s experiencing because at one point,Ā  they used to be a unit,Ā  doing things together,Ā  helping each other through it together.Ā  she starts to smile,Ā  endeared again by her reaction,Ā  so tempted to just tell her sheā€™s being cute,Ā  but she holds herself back this timeā€” mostly because of the mention of her father.Ā  her eyes roll as she takes another bite of pizza.Ā  āĀ  well,Ā  he was fucking soulless,Ā  so maybe that has something to do with it,Ā  āž Ā  she mumbles. Ā  āĀ  ā€” what, does this mean there are no dreams of being a mixologist in your future?Ā  āž Ā  she teases,Ā  a grin tugging at her lips.Ā

acquired tastes trey clover x reader
summary: how food has brought you and trey together as friends, and later on as something more
tags: gender neutral reader, sfw, fluff, friends to lovers, 3.2k+ words, kissing, not descriptive but food is mentioned a lot, not beta read
authorā€™s note (see end notes for more): The second fic to my five senses series. also, i did not write half of this sober oops and still not very sober, so if you see any typos... i will fix them when i can
[you can also read this on AO3]
Tumblr media
You had shocked everyone the day you called him your husband, although nobody was more shocked than he was. As far as he was aware, he was not even your boyfriend, so being handed the title of your husband felt likeā€¦ a promotion through nepotism and bribery.Ā 
The nepotism equating to his being your close friend, the bribery being the food he began to habitually make for you. Honestly, it hadnā€™t even occurred to him that it happened so often that once-in-a-while gifts and favors had turned into routine and grateful expectations.
ā€œHusband?!ā€
And of all people you had to say it in front of, it just had to be Riddle, who was somehow more flustered than he wasā€¦ which was saying quite a lot, considering he was one wrongly-timed swallow away from choking. That would probably lead to the both of you getting lectured by his childhood friend.
Well, Trey thought to himself, he was probably going to get dragged into this conversation anyway, and he had no real plans of being in opposition to it.
There wasnā€™t like he had much to explain, considering he was relatively curious as well.
ā€œOh, you know, like a work husbandā€¦ but for school?ā€
ā€œA what?! Why would you have a separate spouse for work?ā€ asked Riddle, and Trey wondered why you would even think that Riddle would know what a work husband was. ā€œOr is it like the opposite of a stay-at-home husband? Soā€¦ if itā€™s for school, a student husband? I know that Trey had his birthday recently, but thatā€™s stillā€¦ā€
ā€œOkay, okay, Iā€™m not married. No one is, Riddle,ā€ Trey finally interrupted, not sure he would like the way his friendā€™s train of thought was heading.Ā 
ā€œI donā€™t actually think the two of you are married,ā€ Riddle said with a huff, although Treyā€™s not quite sure he buys it completely. Perhaps that had been Riddleā€™s attempt at mocking a friend? ā€œItā€™s justā€¦ a weird choice for an endearment for two people of your age.ā€
ā€œI mean, in this case itā€™s less endearment and moreā€¦ Itā€™s just an expression for two people who share a close relationship, and those two happen to work together. A relationship as friends.ā€
ā€œYeah! Itā€™s likeā€¦ because Trey is so supportive and trustworthy and kind andā€”ā€
ā€œOkay, I know you want to help explain, but arenā€™t you saying too much?ā€ Trey interjected, self-consciousness growing as he watched the look of realization slowly appear on Riddleā€™s face. What exactly was being realized Trey could not determine, but he doubted it was anything short of embarrassing.Ā 
ā€œā€”and Trey also makes the best pastries and desserts, and heā€™s also gotten pretty good at making lunch as well, and also heā€™sā€¦ā€ you trailed off upon catching his eye, as if you saw something to convince you enough compliments had been said, ā€œbasically, heā€™s wonderful and the epitome of an ideal partner in marriage, or just partner in general. So, you know, school husband!ā€
After a moment of silence, likely held for Trey more than anyone else, Riddle nodded his head in understanding.
ā€œNot that I donā€™t agree, because I would say Trey possesses the qualities you speak of, butā€¦ isnā€™t husband quite a step too far? People will get visceral reactions,ā€œ case in point, Riddle, ā€œso why donā€™t you just call him yourā€“ā€
ā€œRiddle, fifteen minutes have passed since youā€™ve finished your meal. Shouldnā€™t we all head out of the hall now?ā€
Heartslabyulā€™s vice dorm leader never thought he would bring up the rules like this, especially in front of Riddle who he wished would stop following the rules too much, but he realized he was not against doing so if it helped him escape a tough situation.Ā 
As Riddle grumbled over how he was less than a minute away from breaking a rule, he did not miss the pointed stare you threw him.Ā 
ā€œMaybe Riddle has a point. Should I just call you my school boyfriend, then?ā€
Tumblr media
Boyfriend or husband, one thing stayed the sameā€”Trey could not say he minded you considering him as either one, and that fact had served as the primary reason as to why he did not stop you from calling him as such.
It was easy to see where it had all begunā€”easy for him to see, at the very least.Ā 
It had to be the night you chose to sneak into Heartslabyul's kitchen, far past bedtime, perhaps not quite realizing that he would still be in there, busy making sure every tart and cake would be put into the refrigerator for cooling, that no one would go steal something without replacing it.Ā 
He tried not to make a habit of staying up too late for anything other than academics, but he supposed some habits were meant to be broken once or twice or every once in a while. Maybe he should be thankful he had been awake that night, only because he didnā€™t think he could ever have gotten close to you otherwise.
ā€œMidnight snacking?ā€ he had asked calmly, only really staring you down to make sure the food you retrieved wouldnā€™t be needed for tomorrowā€™s unbirthday party. On that noteā€¦ were there actually any? His dormā€™s first years were growing boys who enjoyed large portions, so premade food was usually low in quality. ā€œJust make sure to brush your teeth after.ā€
ā€œWill do~ā€ he remembered you agreeing quite easily, too busy opening cupboard to cupboard in search of something edible to argue against the importance of good dental hygiene. By the disappointed look on your face, though, it was evident you couldnā€™t find any outside of the ingredients he often used in baking.Ā 
To this day, Trey wonders if he would have stopped you then if you had asked to take some of the berries and chocolates reserved for pastries, or if he would have offered you a tart of your choosing from the selection to be served later that afternoon.
ā€œYou usually arenā€™t here this late, so I didnā€™t think Iā€™d see you here.ā€
ā€œSo youā€™ve been here past midnight more than a few times?ā€
You had only laughed, although it appeared as though you were more ashamed of admitting it to him rather than the actions themselves.Ā 
ā€œOn occasion,ā€ you had replied with a hum, quietly eyeing him as he worked away with the last tray of dough. Back then, he had expected you to ask him for oneā€”perhaps you were, wordlessly, a stare that remained intense even as you innocently batted your eyes at him. ā€œWould you kick me out, then?ā€
ā€œIā€™m not doing that,ā€ he shrugged, more concerned over the fact that someone else was up this late rather than curfews or rule-breaking or anything of the sort, ā€œbut you should probably go back to bed. I canā€™t send you off with anything to eat, but what about a drink? Tea, milk, hot cocoaā€¦?ā€
Trey remembers what you asked for, of course but what had really stuck in his mind was the way you gave him a knowing smileā€”he had never really had the chance to properly talk to you before then, but there you were, smiling at him like youā€™ve known him for years, like you understood him and his very being.
ā€œTrey is a really caring person, isnā€™t he?ā€
Tumblr media
Because Trey has been far gone for far longer than he would like to admit, heā€™s increasingly lenient with you. Thatā€™s not to say he just lets you get away with whatever you want (although youā€™ve never actually asked for something unreasonable before) but he definitely lets you get away with more things than he should.
ā€œNow thatā€™s not very nice,ā€ Trey chided playfullyā€¦ or, what he presumed had come off as playful. People tended to take his jokes seriously, and by the way you froze mid-scoop of the batter, he really did think you thought he was actually scolding you. Seriously, what had become of his reputationā€¦ ā€œas long as the spoon is clean and you donā€™t double scoop, you can taste it.ā€
ā€œAh, I mean, I can just wait,ā€ you laughed awkwardly, as though you felt bad all of a sudden, ā€œgeez, now itā€™s coming off as if Iā€™m expecting you to give meā€¦ whatever it is youā€™re making.ā€
ā€œBecause you do expect it, and I always end up giving you some of everything,ā€ Trey said, perhaps more self-aware than you at this moment. ā€œI donā€™t mind, really, itā€™s always nice to get a second opinion.ā€
ā€œWhy are you making it sound like itā€™s my fault you give in so quickly?ā€ you said, giving him an accusatory glance, ā€œand hello, we know youā€™re confident when it comes to sweets. Youā€™re wonderful 99% of the timeā€”ā€
ā€œJust 99%...?ā€
ā€œā€”and the other 1%, you can just use your UM. You messing up is not even in the realm of possibilities.ā€
ā€œWell, that aside, you were going to taste it if I didnā€™t catch you, so might as well?ā€
It takes Trey a while to realize what heā€™s really doing. Heā€™s conscious enough to know that heā€™s grabbing a spoon from one of the drawers, to know that heā€™s scooping up a small but sufficient serving of batter with it. Itā€™s only when the spoon is already against your lips that he recognizes the implications of his actions. Whatā€™s more, he canā€™t even retract his hand, not when you take a small bite, ultimately spoon fed by him.
Both of you look shockedā€”at each otherā€™s actions, and at the actions you yourselves have committed. With the way the both of you reacted, it was as though some obscure rule by the Queen of Hearts had been broken, although from the half that Trey had memorized, he sincerely doubted it.Ā Ā 
What question had prevailed more in Treyā€™s headā€”the question of why he tried to give you a taste in that manner, or why you took a bite anyway instead of calling him out immediately?
ā€œAha, um, Treyā€“ā€
ā€œItā€™s not what you think,ā€ Trey immediately cut in, trying to look for a justification. Perhaps he should have thought harder, taking the time to word an explanation in his head rather than simply pouring his thoughts out like piping hot tea. ā€œItā€™s not that I think of you as one of my siblings or as a kid. Thatā€™s not it at all.ā€
He said it as if that was the pressing matter, the misunderstanding to be avoided.
Perhaps it was, by the way your confused expression changed into relief with just a lingering hint of surprise.Ā 
ā€œThatā€™sā€¦ pfft, thatā€™s good to know. Thank you for letting me know, Trey.ā€
Tumblr media
Treyā€™s not denseā€”he knows why his juniors have begun teasing him (and you), he knows the reason behind Vilā€™s snickering near-perfectly covered by his gloved hand, and he recognizes the inspiration behind the countless poems Rook has insisted he listen to.
The both of you, he thinks, are sensible people (sensible enough to not repeat the same actions in public, to keep everything in the kitchenā€”although heā€™s had one or two close calls, usually when you canā€™t help yourself from joking about it), but sense and sensibility can only go so far when his mouth listens less to the brain and more to the heart.
ā€œSure, I gotcha,ā€ Trey agreed, not quite grasping what heā€™d committed to doing until the words leave his lips, ā€œIā€™ll make lunch for you tomorrow.ā€
By all means it probably should not sound so big a dealā€”he made you small snacks and sweets all the time, taste and ingredients used adjusted to your liking. There was no denying anymore that those were for you specifically, not just things he was willing to give you bite-sized portions of.
But a meal was a big deal. The moment sugar and flour get taken away from the recipe, Treyā€™s confidence dwindles in his abilities.Ā 
Not completely. Heā€™s decent in regular cooking, just as he thinks himself decent in most things, but just decent would be troublesome in the long run. There was the Salisbury steak he specialized in, some variations of that, and the recipes he learned from the cooking elective program, but what would happen after that?
Yes, Trey knows that once he cooks lunch for you, there will be more and more timesā€”whether it be by your request or his own volitionā€”where he cooks you breakfast, or lunch, or dinner. Trey understands himself quite well, after all, so that much is just an inevitability.Ā 
Should he search up recipes online, or should he consult the books in the library? He could send a text message to his parents and hope that heā€™ll sound normal enoughā€”though they might question his intent considering thereā€™s plenty of cooked food for purchase and consumption at schoolā€¦Ā 
ā€œWait, you donā€™t have to,ā€ you protest, ā€œwow, I canā€™t believe Iā€™m actually protesting receiving food from you, butā€¦ isnā€™t that a waste of time? I should at least pay you.ā€
Treyā€™s natural instinct is to outright refuse. He doesnā€™t do these things to gain something out of it, just does it because he can; that your time and the evident admiration you hold for himā€”whatever extent that may truly beā€”was more than enough payment, enough to convince him to keep going.
His and your respective actions hurt neither one of you, so there was no reason to stop.
Treyā€™s second instinct is to joke, to tell you that you could pay for the ingredients, perhaps ask for an incredibly absurd amount of money that would be easily understood as a joke even with his line delivery.
He does neither. Instead, he asksā€”
ā€œMaybe you could help me make lunch instead?ā€
Tumblr media
The both of you are in the kitchen again. At some point, it had become common knowledge that if anyone needed to find either one of you, the first and best place to look would be Heartslabyulā€™s kitchen.
With all the time spent there, people would assume the both of you were cooking 24/7ā€¦ but how sorely mistaken they would be.
Not to say there were no attempts, it was justā€¦ slow. Particularly when there was no schedule to be followed or deadline to be had.
Treyā€™s not one to push blame onto one person even for the most obvious of faults, definitely not so candidly, but the turn of events would be more your fault than his. It was a current that Trey did not get caught up in, but rather a flow he willingly went along with.
ā€œBoyfriend, huh?ā€ Trey asked, absentmindedly flipping through the recipe book displayed on the stand. The cake to be served for this afternoonā€™s unbirthday party had already been prepared, simply cooling in the fridge and waiting to be served, so there was no real reason to be looking through the pages.
If you asked, he was simply thinking about dinnerā€¦ even though the book was primarily for sweets and pastries.
ā€œActually, it was husband first, and then boyfriend,ā€ you corrected.
ā€œYeah, almost forgot my demotion there for a secā€¦ or was it meant to be some form of promotion?ā€
ā€œNot really, theyā€™re the same thing. I was just letting you choose which one you liked more,ā€ you laughed, opening the fridge to retrieve the sweets to be served in just a bit. That was the reason both of you were in the kitchen, after all, to get the food and not to chat, not to tease and be teased, and certainly notā€¦ would this classify as flirting?Ā 
Yes, absolutely yes. He supposed heā€™s just been lulled to the idea that you simply do act differently with him, but there are certain things that you do and say that are new, as if something had finally clicked for you.Ā 
As for Trey, somethingā€™s clicked for him too.
ā€œHmmā€¦ I suppose Iā€™ll leave the choice to you,ā€ Trey replied, pretending to look for the cake knives. He knows where they are, heā€™s simplyā€¦ stalling. He wouldnā€™t call himself a coward, but building up courage requires time away from you in his line of sight. ā€œBut arenā€™t you worried?ā€
ā€œOf what? Having other people hear?ā€ you seemed to find his question funny, and he could imagine you rolling your eyes behind his back. ā€œI said it in front of Riddle. The only reaction worse would be Aceā€™sā€”heā€™d pretend to be nauseated by us all the time if he heard.ā€
ā€œHaha, yeah, but thatā€™s not what I meant.ā€
ā€œWhat did you mean, then?ā€
ā€œI mean, wonā€™t youā€¦ people are going to think Iā€™m actually your boyfriend, so thereā€™ll be less people approaching you,ā€ he said. While he wasnā€™t exactly satisfied with his wording choice, he thought it got the job done without having to outright ask you directly.
ā€œAh, I thought it was already obvious that I donā€™t care about that?ā€ If that wasnā€™t enough of a green light, you continued, ā€œIā€¦ Do I seem interested in others, Trey?ā€
ā€œNot really, no,ā€ Trey answered with a surprising amount of ease. With how much time he had spent around you, he would noticeā€¦ and he would admit with the slightest bit of a flush that he was aware that your eyes werenā€™t wandering around, looking for some other student you were interested in. You kept them on him and when they were not, he kept his own on you.
ā€œI just needed to make sure.ā€
ā€œOkayā€¦ and now that youā€™re sure, what will you do about it?ā€Ā 
He pushed the question back to you, ā€œwhat do you want to do about it?ā€
He finally turned to face you again, but your eyes did not meet his, not at first. You looked down at the cake on the table, a pretty purple thing with his favorite candies violets topping it.
ā€œIā€™ll tell you some other time,ā€ you responded. Without missing a beat, leaving no room for Trey to be disappointed, you added, ā€œwhat I want right nowā€¦ is a taste.ā€
Trey does not need to clarify what you pertain to, not when you blatantly look back up in time. Instead, he asks, ā€œare you sure?ā€
You nod, and he takes a deep breath, holding it, a second for each step towards you.Ā 
ā€œAlright.ā€
You taste like the biscuits he gave you earlierā€”thatā€™s the first thing Trey notices the instant his lips touched yours. There are other things, of course, like the spinning of his head and beating of his heart, and some other descriptions he would be able to write out if he had been granted the ability to wax poetic, but it is that lingering taste he focuses on.
It should be embarrassing how much he likes the ideaā€”and more than just the ideaā€”of it, the taste of his cooking in your mouth. Egotistic, something that provides him an unnecessary amount of pride.Ā 
But he likes it for the mere fact that it reminds him of what brought you together in the first place. It is a simple reason, but it is reason enough for him to keep his lips hovered over yours, as if ready to go for another should you allow it.
You laughed, the movement and breath felt against his skin. Then, still quite joyfully, you murmured, ā€œyou taste like toothpasteā€¦ and maybe mouthwash, too.ā€
ā€œSorry.ā€
ā€œNo, donā€™t be,ā€ you said, shaking your head, ā€œit reminds me of you, so I like it.ā€
Tumblr media
my other trey fic and the sequel to the other trey fic end notesĀ |Ā masterlist of all my worksĀ |Ā series masterlist
Tumblr media
[1] This WHOLE thing... the original plan was just to have them kiss and for reader to go "haha you taste like mouthwash", yeah I just wanted to clown on Trey, but then I decided to give them some plot. It's quite standard and not exactly original, I admit, but hopefully it gives some background on how they see each other and their dynamic.
[2] This will probably be my last Trey x Reader for a whileā€¦ meaning this year. I like him a lot, but it's time to put some focus on other characters, lol. I have characters I've yet to write for, so I should complete my WIPs for them.
[3] The fic bannerā€¦ I chose the design because candied violets are Trey's favorite food. The cake I was imagining was ube (purple yam) and chocolate cheesecake, topped with candied violetsā€¦ although I only put one in the design, lol. I got lazy to add more, sorry!
[4] Title Choice: acquired tastesā€¦ I usually take a while to figure out a title, but I knew this was the title I wanted even before writing out the fic. I just like how it's like they have acquired a taste of each other, but also they are each other's types -> to their tastes, but also justā€¦ food therefore taste. Yeah.
[5] Reading Trey's birthday story, I thought it was amusing that people took his jokes seriously, so I wanted to write Trey more playfully here. Reader is also playful in a different way than Trey, so because their teasing styles are different they get affected by each other, lol.
[6] Like I mentioned, I wanted to get this out for Trey's birthday, but I figured that this wouldn't be very good at all if I tried to make it to the deadline. Anyway, this was originally written for the Five Senses Mini Series I have and not his birthday, so I decided to take my time.

Nothing should happen that way. You should be coming home and spending time with the people you love, you should enjoy tasty human food and slowly go back to living as before, as a human with human problems. But then something happened.Ā 
Your family was plunged into endless debt and your parents tried to sell the assets they owned in the hope that it would change something. But it hasnā€™t changed. And you knew you had to do something, help in some way, but there was little you could do.
When all seemed lost, however, there was a very convenient proposition for the moment, very suspicious.Ā A marriage proposal from a man to marry you and you felt your heart break when your parents just pushed you into that business, like you had no opinion or feeling. With a broken heart and thinking about your special someone, your favorite moments with him, his strong arms that hold you, his laugh. Will you ever see him again?
Ā So, the day before you get married, you call him one last timeā€¦
Beelzebub
He honestly didn't want to let you go back to the human world for that very reason, Beel is intuitive and he somehow knew something would go wrong. But he is also naturally a family guy. He loves his brothers very much and he loves you too, and if you want to, biologically or by adoption, he would love to have a family with you too, maybe with a kid or two. And because he loves what the family stands for is exactly why he didn't stop you from coming back and didn't ask you to stay a little longer, although he did relax at the thought that you would talk on the phone and text each other.
But that was not the case. You didn't call him and you didn't call any of his brothers. Your messages have become cold and dry, as if it wasn't you. And he had this realization when he told one of your inside jokes that you guys shared and expected you to laugh, comment on what a precious memory you had with him, but you just responded with a bunch of ????. It wasn't you there, he was sure of it, and after a few days he had no other answer from you.
Now, Beel knows he shouldn't panic. If he panics things will get messy and he won't be able to see the most plausible solution to the problem he's facing. Obviously you are not the person who is with the D.D.D, but it is possible that this person is with you. He doubts that you're cheating on him, he trusts you a lot and knows you wouldn't do something like that, so it's probably someone you know and live with? But why would someone like that be preventing you from talking to him and his brothers?
Unanswered and like the good boyfriend he is, Beel decides it's his duty to make sure you're okay, so he told all his suspicions to his brothers, presented all the evidence to Lucifer to be allowed to ascend to the Human World and see how you were - Lucifer wasn't able to stop Mammon and Belphie from going along, however. And it was even more impossible to make the others wait, in the end all seven brothers walked through the portal determined to find out what was happening to their dear human. You are part of the family after all. And you know the saying ā€œmessed with one, messed with allā€.
As soon as the portal opens, the first thing Beel is able to see are the white and gold embellishments, beautiful and breathtaking. Decorations belonging to a wedding and the smell of food caught his attention. You guys hadn't been serious about marriage yet, but Beel remembers you saying you wanted your favorite foods served and you wanted that song he played for you on the saxophone to be played at your wedding as well. A bittersweet taste came into his mouth as he observed just such things in that place. The chairs, the stage set up under the treetops and the sound of birds singing everywhere, along with the violin and saxophone. It all seemed like a dream, and while his brothers tried to understand what it all meant, Beel started walking among the guests, not caring what impression he made. He knew where you were, he could feel you through the pact mark and he could feel his brothers coming after him too.
Humans are really funny creatures to him. One moment they claim to love and protect their children above all else and the next they are saying the meanest things to their children. Beel can hear your uncontrollable sobs as your mother yells at you that you need to pull yourself together and that they need the money. He doesn't understand the situation based on these comments, but selling his own child for money? Who does it? It's the equivalent of giving your firstborn to a witch knowing she'll do the worst things to him.
"What will we do?" Levi asks using his admiral voice. He's analyzing all possible exits and calculating how long reinforcements will arrive due to the noise caused, while Beel prepares to destroy that door that separates you from them, that separates you from him. ā€œWe will find the culprit for this after we save MC. And then we will give the family treatment for him.ā€ Belphie responds with a big smile.
A second later the door falls from its frame with a single crash and each of them starts to enter. Your condition is deplorable in that wedding outfit, visibly thinner than you was weeks ago and lethargic. Your mother still holds a curling iron in her hand and expresses genuine fear for her and you to the dangerous strangers at the door. She tries to shield you from their sight with her body, but a simple push is enough for her to fall to the ground. And Lucifer stoops to her height.
"How can a mother hand her child's hand to marriage to a scammer?" The enraged older brother cupped her chin and made her look in your direction, surrounded by your dear demons who made sure you were okay and if you needed anything else. "That's a family over there, they care about your child. But how can you claim the same when you gave up on them so easily? You don't even know what that man would do to them."
Lucifer interrupts your mother's response with a flick of his fingers, sending her into a deep sleep. He then turns to you with a tight smile.
"Let's go home, Mc." Beel says. His strong arms pull you closer, into his lap, and in that moment, under the cheap fluorescent lights you knew that if he asked you to marry him, the answer would be yes a thousand times over. And laying your head on his chest, forgetting about the world and its problems, you agree. "Yes, let's go home, honey."
-----
Belphegor
As the younger brother of the family, Belphie always knows when something is up. It's like a sixth sense. Like that time he woke up from a nap and felt like Mammon and LeviĀ were doing something stupid and when he went to check they had actually done something stupid and they were being scolded by Lucifer. So yes dear MC, he knows something's wrong with you and he's about to climb the walls for a chance to have two words with you on the phone. He just hopes the news you're about to deliver isn't as bad as it sounds.
Even after what he did, Belphie never fully forgave himself. He still has dreams about that night, about you in their arms and how he laughed at the situation. He expects to hear your voice saying that you hates him, that you doesn't want to see him anymore, that you doesn't want to be in a relationship with him and stuff like that. And every day you don't answer his calls and texts, he's sure it's all true. And worst of all, he agrees with his thoughts, he doesn't deserve your love nor his affection. He doesn't deserve to have you in his life, since you're almost an angel and he's just a demon unworthy of your forgiveness, unworthy of redemption.
And yet when you manage to call him in the middle of the night, whispering in fear, even after all this time, in the 21st century, Belphie continues to be amazed at how unpredictable humans can be. Selling your own child for money, is this serious? Belphie sure hates your parents a little more now, he doesn't care why they're doing this. After all, family is family and you never give your family into an arranged marriage contract with a weird, suspicious guy for just a few cents more. He knows that even Lucifer wouldn't do such a thing, he would find a way, there is always another way and if there wasn't then Lucifer would create one. And Belphie will follow in his older brother's footsteps; he will create a way.
"I know this is going to be something all of a sudden," your voice sounded hesitant. The taste that dominated your mouth was bitter and bad, the tremor that dominated your body was maddening and your throat was tied by an invisible knot. He felt anger pulse through your voice, but he also felt determination and courage. ā€œMy parents did something bad, something very bad. And I will need your help and your brothers.ā€
ā€œTell me everything and we'll come up with a plan together. But first listen to the sound of my voice and calm down, breathe, Mc.ā€
Belphie, against the nervousness that roils inside him,Ā likes to think the plan you guys came up with is a good one.Ā And the faces of his brothers are priceless when he tells them about the situation and the plan you made. The sloth avatar is sure that once it's all over he will remember this and laugh, but now he feels anxious, waiting from the shadows for the wedding to begin, for the perfect moment to arrive soon. He wants to touch you, feel your skin on his and know that no one could hurt you, that no one could sell you just for a few bucks. And when things are over, you can be sure he won't let you go anytime soon, not when he trembles knowing he could have lost you and never known anything if you hadn't used your magic to manage to locate your nearly destroyed and used D.D.D. to call him.
Ā  Ā  Your fiance is at the altar. He's pathetic and Belphie wants to hang and flay and destroy him until there's nothing left but a pool of blood and guts, but he holds back for now as he and his brothers mingle among the guests. It's all so easy. Beel is so focused on helping you that not even hunger can beat him and he sits next to one of your cousins ā€‹ā€‹who starts talking to him about silly and insignificant things, but for now distracts him from the thought that everyone there share.
You appear in the doorway and your father says something to you that makes you tense, you look for them as your father guides you down the aisle with a silly wedding song that sounds more like a death omen. Or it would sound if things had gone wrong. Belphie's gaze follows you everywhere and feeling the brothers' magic, you feel relaxed enough to use your magic and engulf everyone in a haze of drowsiness. First nothing happens and you feel tense once more, face to face with the man about to ruin your life.
But as the matchmaker conducts the ceremony in his tired voice, you notice that your relatives start to fall one by one just like the man in front of you and you let him fall flat on his face before running to the brothers and open your arms for them to hug and support you.
"It's okay, my angel." Asmo said kissing your forehead, wiping the awful makeup your mother put on your face to hide the tears and sleepless nights. "We're here, human." Mammon tries to reassure you as you feel Levi gently pat your back. All the care they take of you almost makes you cry, but you hold on and finally find Belphie among the tangle of arms and faces, and for the first time in Diavolo knows how long you've had a reason to smile. And he thinks the same.
Ā  "Gods, I'm going to cry when we get out of here." You admitted, laughing. ā€œCome on boys. Let's go home."
ā€œNo, I still have things to do here.ā€ Belphie protests. A dangerous glint in his eyes as he closes his eyes and sees all the best possibilities to end it and, most importantly, to make that man pay. But the way you hold his hand is so tempting he doesn't know how to act.
"Later. What matters now is them.ā€ Lucifer says, pushing his brothers towards the portal. Home, the place you should never have left and the place they'll make sure you're safe forever.

Marks (if i forgot your name tell me iā€™m lost):Ā  @mionemymind @abimess
In your last year of high school, you just wish things would be peaceful.
The previous years hadn't exactly been ideal, since you were surrounded by assholes, but you are optimistic.
Your small, select group of friends, consisting of exactly two people, who you could swear were probably the only decent human beings left in West View High School, were currently the only reason you still wanted to go to high school.
Right now, for example, you were sitting in the outer cafeteria, a book of historical fiction to escape reality plus headphones with some old rock music that you weren't really listening to, since you were so focused on the story you were reading. And then someone pulled on your headphones, and you looked up ready to complain, but the mischievous smile of your best friend Bruce Banner was all you could find.
- I've been calling you for five minutes. - He said, sitting down on the stool in front of you. You smiled, apologizing, and put your cell phone on the table. - No problem, you always do that.
You laughed awkwardly, closing the book while Bruce put his backpack on the table.
- Where is Mon? I haven't seen her today. - You tell him, but Bruce shrugs.Ā 
- Maybe her mother changed shifts again. - He comments, and you make a noise with your mouth of agreement. Whenever Maria, your friend Monica's mother, switched shifts at work, she would be late for first periods. It has been like this since primary school.
- You still haven't let me see your schedule. - You told Bruce with a slight frown, and he laughed, going through his pockets. Then he took out his cell phone, fiddled with the screen for a few seconds, and then handed it to you. You read the attached class schedule with a frown. - Bruce! You didn't sign up for half the classes you took last year?
He shrugged, running his hands through his hair.
- Yeah, I think I'll focus more on what I want for college. - He explained a little shyly. - I was getting too anxious about all that stuff. And honestly, you should have done the same.
You made a grumbling sound with your mouth, and started biting your thumbnail as you finished looking at the schedule. You would barely have any classes together. And then you handed the cell phone back to your friend.
- I would do it if I had any idea what I wanted to major in. - You tell him. - It's better to have several interests on the curriculum, so I'll have more course options.
- You can also develop burnot. - He remarked with mild irony, and you laughed, looking away.
The bell for the first class then rang, and the two of you exchanged a look before getting up. Bruce kissed you on the cheek before heading in the opposite direction, and you grumbled lightly as you picked up your book and walked to the chemistry labs.
In the hallway of the main building, a few meters before the entrance to the lab, someone bumped into you. It was one of the boys from the team, who was laughing at something his colleague said. Your notebooks fell to the floor, and the boy looked at you with contempt.
- Watch where you're going weirdo. - He warned and you rolled your eyes.
- You're the one who bumped into me, you brute. - You grumbled angrily. The boy just laughed and walked away.
After picking your books, you stood up. The athletes at your school were jerks, but you didn't blame only them for their arrogance. The rest of the school, including the faculty, treated them as gods, so they behaved as such.
Sighing with impatience, you entered the chemistry labs, wishing that the day wasn't long.
Darcy Lewis had been your chemistry partner for three years. You smiled as you greeted her and sat down next to her. You were not friends, but she was very kind and extremely intelligent. You really thought you were very lucky to have her as your partner, and then, as if the universe would like to laugh at you, Professor Nakia announced that she was switching partners.
The whole class let out a chorus of dissatisfaction, and one student asked aloud.
- Please, Professor Nakia, we have been working with the same people for three years. Why change now?
- Excellent question, Miss Quinn. - Nakia said, smiling. She was at her desk, finishing putting her materials on top. - Three years is more than enough time for you to create tricks to cheat on my exams.Ā 
The room exchanged complicit and guilty looks, and the teacher kept a serious posture.
- The school board found evidence to indicate this. - She explains. - I was very disappointed to learn that there were students cheating on the evaluation method not only in this class, but in several others. You will notice that all teachers with fixed groups will rotate them from now on. This was a decision made by the principal.
You rolled your eyes, annoyed that you would lose your amazing partner and were running the chance of ending up with someone irresponsible or slacker, just because some kids were careless at cheating. The room let out a chorus of understanding, and everyone began to move around as the teacher indicated the new groups. You ended up sitting with a guy named Vision, who you didn't really know, but you knew was quite popular because he was class speaker, and head of the fencing club.
- Hello, dear. - He greeted you as he sat down, putting his coat on the chair. Vision dressed very well; he was part of the group your classmates called "prepsā€,Ā even if he was usually hanging out with jocks.
You made a noise with your mouth in greeting, but he didn't seem to mind your lack of sociability.Ā 
Fortunately, Vision was a decent chemistry partner. Although he was bossy, and had a habit of interrupting or explaining as if you were stupid, he was intelligent and knew how to do the experiments. You thought that was enough, since you would only have to put up with him in this class.
Feeling a glance at you, you raised your eyes from the notebook, and were slightly startled to notice Vision looking at you with amusement and curiosity, you frowned ready to ask what's wrong, but then he let out a dry laugh.
- I knew I knew you! - he declared. - You're the Presley freak!
Vision laughed lightly nostalgically, and you felt your face flush, turning your attention back to your notebook. He was talking about the Halloween party in freshman year, where you dressed up as Elvis Presley and the track team decided to nickname you "Presley Freak" for the next whole year. The teasing died down after a while, but Vision brought it back as if it were a good memory.
Fortunately he just shook his head with amusement, and didn't mention it again. When class was over, he didn't say goodbye on his way out, but you didn't care.
//-//
The story that all the teachers followed the new norm of switching partners was true. In History, you lost your partner Bucky Barnes to sit with Natasha Romanoff, equally quiet and intelligent. For the most part, you are satisfied with the partners you got.Ā 
But then in fourth period, biology class, you ended up partnering with someone you never imagined.
Wanda Maximoff was one of the most popular girls in school. You didn't really know her. You were classmates during elementary school, and you even became friends with her twin brother in elementary school, Pietro Maximoff, before he became a complete idiot. But other than that, you didn't know much about her. Although you had a strange sympathy for the girl. Unlike the group of girls she hung out with, Wanda never tormented you at school. Or your friends. She was probably fake and sneaky like the others, but she left you alone, so you had nothing against her.
You were pulling your biology book out of your backpack as the teacher announced the new pairs, and you stopped in mid-motion when she said Maximoff and your name.
Wanda sat down beside you the next moment, smiling politely. You shook your head slightly, dropping your backpack on the floor.
Wanda was surprisingly nice. You didn't talk about anything unrelated to the subject, but she was quick enough to catch your ironic glances when Professor Darkholme made an inappropriate comment or a funny remark, and match it with a smile or a look.Ā 
As the class came to an end, Wanda nodded slightly at you, and you smiled back before gathering your materials.
It had been four months since classes had started, and you were already used to your new partners in class.Ā 
Vision was inconvenient in many comments, as if he took pleasure in recalling your most embarrassing moments in high school, but you learned to change the subject quickly whenever this happened. All you had to do was pretend you didn't know about some subject he mastered, only to hear him explain it to you in the most arrogant manner possible for the next few minutes, effectively distracting him.
Natasha Romanoff was exceptionally sarcastic and ironic, and you sometimes you felt that she was a more aggressive female version of your former partner Bucky Barnes. She was quite individualistic, and you had to make an effort not to get left behind, or you had to constantly remind her that you were a duo, but otherwise she was a good partner, and you were happy to invite her to lunch with you, which eventually became a habit after a week.
And then you had Wanda Maximoff. You weren't friends, but you had a strange kind of complicity as biology partners. You never would have guessed that Wanda would have a sense of humor so similar to yours. Two classes in a row, and you already had inside jokes about the way Ms. Darkholme caught the attention of her students. Two weeks in, and you two knew how to cheat your way through assignments. You didn't know how to make friends, and judging by the history of who Wanda was hanging out with, you had the impression that she wouldn't want to develop any kind of relationship with you. And honestly, this was your last year, you wouldn't see these people again, so you were more than satisfied to have just one good lab partner.
With the mid-winter vacations approaching, you were looking forward to getting some rest.

- God, Wanda, why are you talking about that weirdo again? - interrupted Vision impatiently. His girlfriend blinked in confusion, looking away awkwardly.
- I'm just commenting on a joke weā€¦
- Really, Wanda? - He interrupted again with an accusing look. - It seems like all you do lately is "comment" on your little jokes in class. - He sneers as he settles down on the sofa. The two of them stand together outside the school, their group of friends watching the discussion with amusement. - I don't know why you talk to her at all. She is so silent and awkward with me in chemistry class.
Wanda bites the inside of her cheek, looking forward.Ā 
- I think your girlfriend has a girl crush. - Tony Stark sneered next, making everyone laugh. Wanda frowned, feeling her heart race.
- You are an idiot. - She grumbled impatiently, crossing her arms. Vision looked at her curiously.
- Honey, don't tell me that you actually appreciate that girl? - he asks ironically, and Wanda rolls her eyes without looking at him. Vision laughs.Ā 
And then Tony is holding out a craft-paper covered bottle to Vision, and he takes a sip, coughing slightly afterwards. Wanda frowns at the scene, but none of her friends seem concerned that they are drinking during school hours, as the bottle continues to pass in everyone's hand.
- You know, I think it's sweet that you have sympathy for that freak. - Tony comments a moment later and Wanda tells him to fuck off, making him laugh.Ā 
- I think we are witnessing a beautiful love story. - Mocks Pepper, Tony's girlfriend, approaching the three of them as she sits on Stark's lap. Wanda rolls her eyes, as the group laughs. And then Vision has a thoughtful expression.
- I have an idea. - He says slightly drunk, as he throws his arm around his girlfriend's shoulders. - Let's make a bet.
Tony and Pepper let out excited exclamations, while Wanda frowns.
- What kind of bet?
- Well, you guys remember when the weirdo dressed up as Presley for Halloween, right? - he asked, and Tony and Pepper laughed, agreeing. - And then Pietro saw her kissing that girl who hang with the bikers, Jones something.
- Jessica. - Pepper clarified before taking another sip of her drink.Ā 
- Then we know she's a dyke. - Vision says, but Tony frowns.
- Wasn't she dating that guy with the long hair and the angry face?Ā 
- Barnes? - Vision asked and Tony nodded. - I don't think so. Anyway, she is into girls. - he said and the group nodded in agreement. - I mean the bet is this: I can prove that she is just like everyone else in this school. Give her a bit of our attention, and she will be completely obsessed.
- Vis, what are you talking about? - Wanda asked, and Vision laughed ironically.
- It's very simple, love. - He says. - You are hot. Everyone knows that, and even someone like her, who pretends not to be part of the social circles of this school, can see that. - He clarifies, and the group looks at him intently. Wanda doesn't say that she doesn't like being objectified, swallowing the bitter feeling in her stomach. - So my bet is that you win her over. It should take what, one or two dates for her to be completely in love with you.
The friends laugh in irony and Wanda thinks she should follow, but only a forced laugh escapes. Because of the alcohol, no one notices.
- This is ridiculous. - Wanda comments and then Vision looks at her with irony.
- Unless you're getting attached to the girl, dear. - He sneers, and the group laughs. Wanda swallows dryly, shaking her head in denial. - So, what's the problem? You'll just prove me right. And you will realize that there is nothing special about her.Ā 
- I think we can make this even more fun. - says Tony with a wicked smile. - I bet you a hundred bucks that Wanda will fall in love too.
Tony sneers and the group laughs with irony.
- As if anyone would even like that girl. - Vision declares, accepting another drink.Ā 
- How do we make sure it's working? - Tony asks and Vision bites his lip thoughtfully. Then he lets out an exclamation.
- Our trip! - he says, and then turns to Wanda. - Love, invite the weirdo to the cabin! We can watch you work.
Wanda frowns, but then the group is suggesting ideas of conquest, and laughing, and debauchery, and she hates it. But she smiles, and nods in agreement, accepting the liquor as the bottle comes into her hand.
Reader Pov
You intended to study during the winter vacations. And maybe get out of the room a little if Bruce or Monica visited. Your surprise was genuine when in your last biology term, Wanda Maximoff started talking to you about something other than the subject.
- Hey, are you doing anything this holiday? - she comments amiably. You didn't notice the looks Tony Stark was giving you two from the front seat.Ā 
- Huh... No?
- Are you asking me? - She replies with a smile. You blush, looking away at your notebook. Wanda bites her cheek, and it takes a moment for her to speak again. - I wanted to invite you to something.
You blink in surprise, looking at Wanda. She looks away from the board for a moment, as she wiggles her fingers against her own thigh.
- My friends and I are spending the holiday in a cabin. - She clarifies. - There's all this winter activities, you know. Skiing and stuff like that. I'd like you to come.
- Why? - The question slips out a little harshly, but you can't help it. Wanda looks away, and you almost apologize. But then Wanda smiles, shrugging.
- I'd like to get to know you better, I guess. - She says. - I think it would be fun if we could be friends outside of class.
You look at her suspiciously for a few seconds. But then you sigh, looking down at the notebooks.
- Alright, Wanda. - you say after a moment, ignoring the growing anxiety in your stomach. - Is it okay if I bring a friend?
- Of course! - She confirms excitedly. - You can take whoever you want, it's a big place.Ā 
The teacher gives a warning for side conversations next, and you shut up. You blush when Wanda approaches you to write down her phone number in her notebook. You are distracted enough not to notice her blushing slightly when Tony Stark gives her a mischievous look.Ā 
//-//
- So you actually said yes? - Bruce asked with surprise when you told him about the biology class, while you were having lunch together in the cafeteria. Monica had the same expression.
- Yes, and I would love it if you would go with me, because I think I am close to completely freak out. - You ask with mild desperation and your friends laugh. And then Monica is looking behind you.
- Look, I would be too. They are so... - She starts and you turn around, looking at the group of Wanda's friends a few meters away. The kids are sitting at the table, making noise with their loud laughter. One of them was throwing a football up in the air. A short boy walked past them and was pushed slightly. - I can't even define them.
You let out a grumble, laying your head on your arms on the table.
- This was a bad idea, wasn't it, guys? - you ask. - They're going to eat me alive.
- Why the long faces, nerds? - Natasha asked as she came over to the table, placing the tray of food next to Monica, staring at you.Ā 
And then your friends explained it to her, and you groaned in dissatisfaction when she started laughing.
- You've lost your mind, haven't you? - she asked wryly. - It's a trap, I'm sure.
- There's no reason for it. - You retorted, trying to eat a little. - Besides, it was Wanda who invited me. She said she'd like us to be friends.
- Look, I know that Maximoff is the least worst of the bunch. - Nat began as she opened her soda. - But she still hangs around with those idiots.Ā 
- Yeah, I know. - You agree with a sigh. And then you remember your classes. - I just... She has been surprisingly nice, you know? I think she was being sincere. It's just a trip, it's not the end of the world.
- Good to know you think that. - said Bruce. - Because I won't be able to go.
- What? - You then exclaim.
- I applied for an internship at S.H.I.E.L.D. Labs. - He remarks and you let out a grumble, remembering.
- Shit, it's true. - You say. - I completely forgot about it.
- Girl, I can't go either. - Informs Monica with a guilty expression, and you let out an exclamation. - I'm going to spend the holiday with my father.
You bury your face in your hands. And then you risk a glance at Natasha, and she laughs wryly.
- Don't even try. - She says. - Even if you paid me I wouldn't travel with Tony Stark.
- I'll pay you.
Nat laughs at your desperation, and stops eating, looking at you with surprising kindness.
- You, girl, are adorable and kind. A nerdy cute dork, and I'm sure that if that's not enough for those idiots, they're the problem, not you. - She assures you, and you smile wryly. - Don't worry about pleasing any of them, you're going to become friends with Wanda, aren't you? Try to enjoy the trip, and if anything happens, call me and I'll finish them all off.
You laugh, nodding slightly. You don't want to think so much about this trip, but you know it's going to be the only thing on your mind for the next few days.
The week ended quickly. And you were very anxious when the weekend arrived, and you received a text message from Wanda saying that she would pick you up at home on Saturday morning. You would spend the holiday at the Stark family's winter cottage, a property big enough to fit the whole group. Wanda said it was somewhere with mountains, near a lake, and you bit your lip, wondering if you should bring a bathing suit. Since it was snowing, you figured you wouldn't try to swim anywhere.
On Saturday you were up bright and early, your bags packed. You kissed your parents and your younger brother on the cheek before you left, finding a pickup truck parked in front of your house.
Wanda hugged you when you said good morning to her, and to the boys. Vision and Pietro were in this car, and she said that Tony was in the second car, and had gone for gas.
Vision drove towards the cabin next, and he tried a little small talk before shutting up. Wanda was in the passenger seat, and Vision let his hand rest on her thigh, and you didn't understand the bitter feeling in your stomach.
- God, put on some decent music! - asked Pietro, scrambling up on the seat beside you to reach for the radio.
- Leave it, Pietro! - complained Vision pushing the boy backwards. - You only want to play that emo shit!
Pietro laughed, not insisting. And Vision looked at you through the rearview mirror.
- Let's let our guest choose the music. - he said with a smile. You cleared your throat.Ā 
- Okay. - You agreed, pulling your cell phone out of your pocket. You turned on Spotify next, and when Vision asked if it would be any longer, you bit the inside of your cheek. And then you put on some pop rock.
Nobody said anything, and you thought that somehow you had just passed some kind of test. But then your set list started, and when the classic rock song from the 50's started playing, Vision burst out laughing.
- They don't call you Presley Freak for nothing. - He scoffs, switching to the radio next.Ā 
- I like it. - Wanda comments surprising you, but neither Vision nor her brother change their debauched posture.
- Yes, yes, your taste is terrible too. - He replies with irony. You bite your lips as you watch Wanda roll her eyes and look away to the window. Vision lets Pietro choose the music next.
The cabin was really very big.Ā 
You guys met Tony's car on the way, but he didn't stop. It didn't take long for you to arrive. You smiled in appreciation at Pietro when he carried your bags inside.
You looked at the structure impressed. Tony Stark really was very rich. Hugging your arms lightly after feeling the cool breeze, you smiled politely at Wanda's other friends as they greeted you.
- I am Pepper Potts, and this is Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson. - says the blonde girl cheerfully, as she waves to the other boys. - You must have met Tony by now.
- I think I've seen all of you at school. - You say feeling out of place, but they smile as they walk into the cabin. Tony hands the bags to the other boys, and then is throwing an arm around your shoulders, and you want to push him away for the inappropriate contact.
- It's a pleasure to meet you, sweetie. - He says, and you blink when you feel the alcohol. - Who knew that nerds hid pretty girls with them?
The joke makes the group laugh, and you look around uncomfortably. Tony then releases you as you enter.Ā 
Pepper is the one who shares the rooms, and you are happy to know that you won't be sharing with anyone.Ā 
While you are unpacking upstairs on your bed, Wanda joins you.
- Hey. - She greets me as she enters and closes the door. You're folding your clothes.
- Hi, Wanda.
- Is everything okay? - she asks and you nod in agreement. - They can be a bit much sometimes, and I don't want you to get uncomfortable and... Do you like "Bewitched"?
The sudden question startles you and you blink in confusion. Wanda nods at the item in your hands. The T-shirt you are folding has the logo of the old sitcom you used to watch with your parents.
- Oh yes. - You sigh in agreement. - It is one of my favorite shows actually.
Wanda laughs in surprise, crossing her arms.
- Wow, I didn't know that. - She says. - I love this stuff. Vision thinks the jokes are stupid, so don't tell him I'm talking about it.
She jokes and you let out a wry exclamation.
- Why would I tell Vision anything? - You ask and Wanda hesitates slightly, but then smiles.
- No, it was just a figure of speech. - She clarifies as you fold your shirt.
- Right. - You say, not really understanding this conversation. - If you want, we can watch it together anytime. I think we'll have time to do it here.
Wanda looks at you with surprise and excitement.
- Really? I'd love to. - She confirms, and you smile as you finish packing.Ā 
The redhead clears her throat afterwards.
- I just wanted to check on you anyway. - she says. - I think Steve is cooking dinner tonight, so join us when you' re ready.
- Okay, Wanda. - You say. - Thanks.
She smiles before leaving. You stare at the Bewitched's T-shirt on your bed for a few moments before you leave.
Steve tries to cook some chicken breast. And he almost burns the kitchen down. So you are on your feet, investigating the cupboards, and although cooking is not your favorite activity, you don't mind making some chili for everyone.Ā 
- I love Mexican food. - Wanda comments excitedly as she stands next to you and watches you cook. The rest of the group is in the living room, the boys being very noisy as they throw a soccer ball around the room. You smile at the redhead next to you.Ā 
- God, did you see the picture that Tabitha Smith posted on instagram? - Pepper askedĀ aloud, staring at her cell phone. She was sitting on the kitchen counter, a look of disgust on her face. Wanda approached her and quickly looked at the screen. - She put on silicone, I'm sure of it.Ā 
Wanda made a noise of agreement, exchanging a quick glance with you, clearly not caring one bit about the topic, and you smiled, turning your attention back to the pot. Pepper didn't notice and continued making comments about her classmates' social media posts.
- It's ready. - You announce. Your breath catches in your throat as Wanda puts her hand on your waist, leaning behind your back to taste the food. She lets out a satisfied groan, and you feel her cheeks flush.
But then she walks away next, and you struggle to disguise yourself as the boys are joining you, announcing that they are starving.Ā 
- Wow, this is delicious. - said Pepper as soon as you sat down at the table and started to eat. The group agreed, and you blushed with embarrassment. Soon they started talking among themselves, and you tried to keep up as best you could, but the topics weren't really of interest to you.
When you got back to the room, Tony proposed that you all play a game, and then he went through the storage room and came back carrying monopoly.
At first you thought it would be innocent fun, then there were drinks and gambling.Ā 
- It's a four! - shouted Tony excitedly. - That's my property, Wilson!Ā 
Sam let out a grumble of dissatisfaction as he moved his figure around the board. Tony laughed mischievously.
- So, how do you want me to pay the rent?Ā  - Sam asked and Tony made a thoughtful face.Ā 
- With a question. - Tony announces maliciously. - Among the people in this room, tell me who would you have sex with?
Sam laughs in surprise, as the group gives a chorus of excitement. You swallow dryly, uncomfortable with the direction of the questions. So far, the questions and challenges had been innocent and slightly awkward, but after a few beers, the group was clearly getting more excited in other respects.
- Careful with your answer, friend. - Vision warned, putting his arm possessively around Wanda's shoulders. You looked away to the board.
- That might be shocking for a straight guy, Vis. - Sam remarked with mild debauchery. - But not all of us are looking at the girls.
The group laughs in surprise, and Vision rolls his eyes.Ā 
- I would do Steve Rogers for sure. - Sam declares the next moment, and the group lets out a celebratory chorus. Steve laughs too, slightly surprised. Sam just smiles playfully, shrugging his shoulders. Then Steve steps forward, amusing himself by pretending to kiss him, and the group laughs. You smile awkwardly, not really understanding what everyone thinks is funny.
The game continues, and you are doing very well. You laugh when Pepper has to tell you all about the worst sexual experience she has ever had, but you are slightly uncomfortable when Steve has to demonstrate on a pillow his first time. A few rounds later, you grumble in dissatisfaction when you take a five and end up in jail.
- Whoa, that's has a punishment. - Tony announces when he sees your move. You look at him, and he looks excited. - Finally, Presley, your moment has come.
- Tony. - Wanda scolds him for his nickname, but Tony doesn't listen.
- Let me think about it. - He continues with a thoughtful expression, and then a mischievous gleam takes over his gaze. - Have you ever heard that shy girls are the biggest freaks in the room?Ā 
You swallow dryly, feeling your face heat up as the group lets out a laugh.Ā 
- I will not...
- Don't even start. - Tony interrupts your denial with a smile. - Don't spoil the fun. I'll give you a simple challenge.
You bite the inside of your cheek, frowning as you fight the urge to get up.
- Your sentence of freedom will be to give a hickey to the person who gets a six on the dice. - He declares, and the group lets out a chorus of excitement.
And then everyone is rushing to throw the dice and you cross your arms, feeling your face hot.
- If more than one person gets six, you'll give them both a hickey and win immunity for a round! - Tony laughs as he makes up the rules.
Pepper is the first to play, and lets out a despondent sigh when she draws two.Ā  And then Steve plays next, and complains when the die lands on four. Sam and Tony don't get six either. You hold your breath when Wanda rolls, and feel your heart race when the die stops.
- This should be interesting. - Vision comments with mild irony and mischief as he takes his arm off Wanda's shoulders, picking up the die stopped at six. Tony laughs and you can't keep your eyes on the redhead.
Vision gets a four. And then Pietro gets a six, and you grumble.
- I can't believe you're going to get both of the Maximoffs! - Wilson comments with amusement and you swallow dryly, shifting uncomfortably in your seat.
- Finally some action. - Pietro jokes as he approaches. He kneels in front of you, and you take a deep breath. - Come on, Y/N, it's just a silly challenge.
He tries to reassure you with a smile, and you try to ignore the staring eyes on the two of you. You think the boys are laughing as you bring your face closer to Pietro's outstretched neck, and land your lips on his skin. He smells like aftershave lotion, but it's just embarrassing to be so close. Pietro lets out a breathless chuckle as you begin to suck on his skin, and he clenches the support of the couch.
You stop quickly, and he pulls away. The red skin glows on his neck. He flashes you the seductive smile, and you look away, listening to the group celebrating.Ā 
- Next, please! - Tony says clearly intoxicated. You feel your racing heart echoing in your ears. Wanda gets up from the couch, and unlike her brother, she completely short-circuits your brain when she sits on your lap. You think someone whistled.
- Wanda, what are you doing? - You mumble clumsily, and she just smiles as she puts her hands on your shoulders.
- Don't you like this position? - she asks and you swallow dryly.
- Come on, girls! - Tony tells you between laughs. Someone knocks over the vodka bottle on the floor, making a mess. You think the group is barely paying attention to you, fighting among themselves to save the rest of the board and Tony's expensive rug, but you're not really taking in anything other than the girl on your lap.
You move forward, sinking your face into her neck and inhaling Wanda's scent. When you let out your breath, she trembles and squeezes your shoulder lightly, making you swallow dryly.
You let your lips kiss her skin, watching Wanda's chest rise and fall, indicating her unregulated breathing. And then you lick her skin, and she chokes. When you suck on her skin, she bites her lips hard, stopping herself from moaning.Ā  And then you let go.
Ignoring the urge to kiss the red dot again, you throw your back against the armchair, moving away. Wanda lets out a breath, and before you can say anything, Tony is complaining that the game is over because the board has been ruined, and she rushes off your lap.Ā 
Your face is very hot when Sam makes a snide remark to you, and then you are all saying goodnight. You don't have the courage to look at Wanda when you go up to your room.
//-//
The next day you go skiing.Ā 
You absolutely suck at it, but so does everybody else, so nobody really cares.Ā 
You don't want to think so much about Wanda's hands on your waist when she teaches you how to do it.
You also don't want to be so annoyed when Vision insists on getting a kiss from her while you are walking back to the cabin.
During the afternoon, you are distracted by a video game with Pietro, extremely surprised that he has invited you to do something. After dinner you go back to your room to read a little, and are astonished when Wanda appears at your door a few minutes after you have gone upstairs.
- How about we watch a sitcom together? - She invites you in, and you shrug as you smile, making space for her to enter your room. She giggles when she notices the open book on your bed. - Of course you brought a book.
You laugh awkwardly as you close the door. Wanda throws herself on your bed, opening the laptop she has brought with her. You take the book out and place it closed on the dresser, before joining her, trying to keep a respectable distance.
She ends up putting on Bewitched, and you are distracted enough by the program.
- Wow, that's kind of wrong. - You comment between giggles. And Wanda laughs lightly, turning the program's attention to you.
- What?
- The joke. - You clarify. - The way they imply that it's okay for boys to behave like that.
- Yeah, I know. - She agrees, turning her attention back to the screen. - But we're still laughing.
- Yeah. - You agree, laughing. - I guess it's okay as long as we don't find it funny in real life.
Wanda makes a noise of agreement with her mouth and then you are silent again.Ā 
Two episodes later, Wanda suggests that you eat something. Then you go downstairs to the kitchen, and find the room empty.Ā 
- Pietro had called the boys to play soccer. - She says. - And I think Pepper and Tony are in their room.
You nod in understanding, following her around the kitchen. Wanda starts preparing a snack for you two.
- What is it? - You ask as you observe her choice of ingredients. She smiles mischievously.
- My masterpiece. - She says. - Just trust me, you'll like it.
You laugh, nodding. When she warms the bread rolls, and starts to pour oregano on top you let out an exclamation.
- Wanda, are you sure you know what you're doing?Ā 
She laughs, shaking her head slightly.
- Trust me on this. - She asks with a smile, starting to cut tomatoes. You cross your arms, not believing that you are actually going to eat that.
And then the sandwich is ready, and Wanda assumes a cheerful posture. She puts the bread on a plate and turns to you, leaving the object on the counter beside you.
You take a piece while she takes another, and together you taste the sandwich while Wanda looks at you expectantly.
It's surprisingly good, and you blink in amazement when you feel the taste, looking away from her to the food.
- Wow, that's good. - You comment before taking another bite. Wanda smiles.
- Really? I'm glad you like it. Vision doesn't like it very much, he says it tastes strange.
You grumble lightly, continuing to eat. Wanda pours you two some soda. You are silent for a moment and when she leaves the phone on the countertop to wash the dishes, your gaze runs quickly across the screen as you reach for your glass.
- Hey, are you into poetry? - you ask as you look at the open Instagram post.
Wanda smiles, nodding.
- That's cool, I think we follow the same page. - You comment quickly pointing to her unlocked cell phone. Wanda looks surprised.
When she finishes washing the dishes, she asks to borrow your cell phone. You spend the next thirty minutes laughing and joking as you compare your Instagram feeds and follower list. You don't want to overthink on how many common interests you have with Wanda.
//-//
On the penultimate day you want to build a snowman.
There is a Hockey game on TV, and everyone seems excited to watch. So you just walk out of the cabin while Tony hands out snacks and drinks to everyone.
You are just finishing assembling the body when you hear footsteps.
- You are very antisocial. - Wanda jokes as she approaches, hands in her pockets. You don't want to think about how adorable she looks.
- Yeah, I know. - You comment with your attention on the snowman. - It's not your friends' fault, by the way, I'm just not a big sports fan.
- All right, I don't see what's so funny about it either. - She says as she stops beside you. - Can I help you with him?
- Let me see your hands. - You ask, and she looks at you in confusion, taking her hands out of her pockets. You deny it. - No gloves, no playing. I don't want you to get hypothermia.
She laughs lightly, putting her hands back in her pockets. You turn your attention back to the snowman.
- We can go for a walk. - You suggest after a moment. - Since we're not going to watch the game.
Wanda smiles, looking away to the cabin.
- Okay.
You finish your snowman in silence. It's decent you think.
- I used to do it all the time. - You tell her as you stand up, putting your hands in your pockets. Wanda looks at you curiously. - But then I grew up and my parents thought it was a kid thing.
- Yeah, I know how that is. - She agrees as you stare at the snowman. - One birthday is all it takes for the treatment to change completely.
You nod in agreement, and then you look at her, signaling for you to go the other way.
You walk side by side in the opposite direction of the cabin.
After spending the whole way talking about the most random subjects, you end up at a small pier, at the edge of the lake that covers the entire back stretch of the cabin. You and Wanda sit side by side on the wood cross-legged.
- We should have brought something hot to drink. - You comment with a smile, hugging your arms for a moment. Wanda nods.
- So, are you enjoying the trip? - Wanda asks and you look away, smiling at the lake.
- I suppose so.
- You suppose? - She replies with amusement, making you laugh.
You clear your throat before speaking again.
- I enjoyed the time I spent with you. - You confess, looking forward. Wanda wiggles her fingers nervously, looking away from you to face the lake as well. - Don't get me wrong, Wanda. Your friends are... nice I guess. But they're not the reason I'm here.
You look at Wanda, and she nods frantically. Your heart is racing, but playing games isn't exactly your thing. You want to know what's going on.
- And you? - you ask, studying her face. - Did you enjoy the time I was here?
- Yes. - Wanda confesses breathlessly, her face flushing slightly.Ā 
Swallowing hard, you look away to the lake again. And then you slowly move your hand against the wood, reaching for Wanda's hand next. You give it enough time for her to move away, or to strike you, and she does neither. Feeling your heart soar, you intertwine your hands, holding back a sigh at how good it feels even when wearing gloves.
Several minutes later, you let out an excited exclamation when you hear a noise in the nearby forest. Turning your head, you confirm your suspicions. A small white fox is looking at you curiously.Ā 
You help Wanda to get up quietly and slowly so as not to startle the animal.
- Hey. - You say softly to the animal, walking towards it. The fox looks at you wide-eyed, but your posture doesn't frighten him. You smile when he lets you pet him.
- He is so cute. - Wanda comments softly, kneeling down beside you. The fox lies down on the grass as the redhead strokes his head.
He tires of the attention quickly however, and the next moment he gives you a look before running back into the forest. You and Wanda laugh lightly as you two stand up.
You walk back to the cabin in silence, a tension in the air that makes your stomach turn. You don't hold hands, but you walk very close together.Ā 
When you are almost to the cabin area, you stand in front of Wanda, pushing her by the waist against a tree. You both sigh breathlessly, but you lose the courage. It's not right, not yet. Resting your forehead on hers, resisting the urge to kiss her, you close your eyes.
- Leave him. - You say and Wanda squeezes her hands in your arms.
Wanda lets out a sigh, closing her eyes like you did, and your faces come closer together.
- I won't share you, Wanda. - You whisper against her lips. - Either you're with me, or you're not.
Resisting the urge to close the distance, you sigh and turn away. Wanda's pupils are dilated as she looks at you. You lock your jaw, putting your hands in your pockets. And then you turn around, and disguise it nicely when Pepper comes out of the cabin, asking where you were, and you just smile and say you went for a walk.
//-//
Vision and Wanda argue on the last day at the cabin.Ā 
You frown as your awakened by the volume of the argument. But you decide not to pry, and when Pepper signals for you to join her on her morning walk, you agree.
- You know, you are surprisingly nice. - She comments as you two take a break for some water.
- Thanks, I guess. - You mumble, and she laughs.
- What I mean is that nerds are usually know-it-all types and not at all sociable. - She explains. - You're quiet, but you're fun.
- Who says I'm not a know-it-all. - You retort with amusement, and Pepper laughs as you walk back.
- I'm just saying that it turned out to be nice to invite you over despite everything.
- Despite everything what?
Pepper laughs awkwardly, shaking her head.
- The differences between our groups I say. - She quickly clarifies. You don't perceive the lie. - Maybe there is a chance for us to remain friends after here.
- Why wouldn't we? - you ask confused. Pepper seems to be talking as if it is impossible for you to continue talking to each other after the trip is over, and you don't understand why.
Pepper blinks in embarrassment, and then pats your arm, hurrying her steps.
- It's nothing, I'm just overthinking it. - she says. - I'm sure it will all work out.
You don't ask any more questions because she's walking too fast, and exercise isn't really your thing. You're struggling to keep up.
//-//
After your walk with Pepper, you agreed to let Steve teach you how to play a bit of hockey. And then you all had lunch together, and Wanda avoided all your attempts to start a conversation with her. You figured she was upset with her boyfriend, so you didn't press her.
Later in the afternoon, after you played snowball wars with everyone, and perhaps laughed more than appropriate when Wanda kept hitting Vision in the face, Steve made a fire in the backyard area and everyone gathered around.
- Let's tell some horror stories, please? - Pietro asked as he sat down, and Tony slapped him on the head, laughing.Ā 
- You are such a baby. - he sneered, holding out a bottle of whiskey to Steve. You rolled your eyes, impatient with Stark's annoying mania for proving his maturity.
Then he began to share sex stories, and the group seemed happy to join in. The bottle swirled around, and you let it pass you by without taking a sip. It stopped at Wanda, and she drank much more than anyone else.
- And you, Y/N, don't you have any sinful stories to share with the group? - teased Tony ironically, and you rolled your eyes.
- I prefer to be silent.
Tony laughed at her hostility.
- Now all that's left is for you to say you're a virgin! - he sneered, causing the group to laugh. You exchanged a quick glance with Wanda, who didn't even seem to be listening, the whiskey bottle still in her hands.
- I'm not, but if I were that wouldn't be your business - You retort impatiently. Tony whistles impressed.
- Tell us how it was! - he asks excitedly. - I bet it was Jessica Jones who fucked the weirdo!
You stand up abruptly as the group laughs.
- You're drunk, and you're talking shit. - you say angrily. - But if you ever annoy me again, I will punch you right in the face!
Tony seems slightly impressed by your attitude, but he is clearly drunk so he shrugs his shoulders. You then leave, returning to your room.
Non-Reader Povs
- What is your problem? - Pietro complained as soon as Y/N entered the cabin. Tony blinked surprised and alcoholic.
- It was just a joke, it's not my fault she's weird. - He retorted with a wry laugh.
Pietro let out an irritated exclamation.
- You know what? - He spoke angrily, looking at everyone. - What we're doing is wrong.
- What was that? - Vision sneered, but Pietro looked at him seriously.
- You heard me. - he said, getting up. - She's a nice girl and she's been fun to be with. That bet was stupid.
The teens exchange guilty glances, but then Tony and Vision are laughing.
- One hickey and you're in love, Maximoff? - Vision sneered and stood up, as Pietro clenched his jaw.Ā 
- You're an asshole.Ā 
- Oh, I'm an asshole? - Vision retorted ironically. - This little scene of yours is absurd, treating your friends as if we were the villains of the story. - he says laughing. - The girl is a weirdo who must be absolutely fascinated that people like us even talk to her!
Pietro looks at him impatiently, but Vision does not lose his debauched posture.
- Shut up. - Wanda's drunken speech startles the group. Vision turns to her in surprise, but then he laughs.
- That's excellent. - He says. - Both Maximoffs teaming up against the group.
- You're full of shit. - Wanda exclaimed angrily, getting up, and Vision shook her head. - She's not...
- She's not what dear? - He interrupted. - You know I'm right. In fact, I bet if you go up to her room right now,Ā you won't even need to ask twice and she'll fuck you.
- Vision! - Pietro exclaims angrily, but he stares only at the redhead, who has her jaw clenched.
- Everyone just wants to fuck you, Wandy. - He says. - There's nothing worthwhile beyond that.
Wanda holds back the tears in her eyes, bumping into Vision as she leaves, and the boy laughs, shouting between giggles that he was only joking, but the redhead doesn't turn around.Ā 
- That was cruel. - Potts then said, and Vision let out a wry laugh.
- It was just a joke. - He says and sits back down. -Ā You girls are so sentimental.Ā 
Pietro then leaves, and Vision rolls his eyes. Steve and Sam exchange a look with Pepper.
-Ā You can't really think it's okay to say something like that to your girlfriend. - Steve said annoyed. Vision laughs, incredulous at Steve's insinuation. - What is it, people? - he replies. - I just said she's hot, how is that a bad thing?
- You know, Pietro is right. - Steve said as he got up. - This whole story is absurd. - Steve, come on. - No, he is right. - Sam then agreed. And then Pepper stood up, exchanging a look with Tony. - Good, then. - Vision exclaims angrily. - Be my guests! I suppose you'll start hanging out with the school's weirdos on Monday then. You guys are a joke. Hypocrites. Vision grumbles before exiting angrily, walking towards the trail. The group exchanged a guilty look.
Reader Pov
You had just finished showering and putting on your pajamas when Wanda came into your room. You frowned in surprise, and let out an exclamation when she pushed you onto the bed and sat you on your lap.
- What are you doing? - you asked, and Wanda just grumbled, trying to unbutton your pajamas, but clearly too drunk to do so. - Wanda, stop. Wanda!
- That's what you want, isn't it? - She retorts with irritation, but her eyes are filled with tears. - Everyone wants to fuck the hot girl.
- Wanda, what are you talking about?
But then she's crying, falling against you. You let your arms go around her, trying to calm her down. She only stops crying when she falls asleep.
You don't know what has happened, but you feel your heart clench. Moving to the bed, you lay Wanda down on the mattress, then cover her with the blanket.Ā 
When you consider going to sleep in the living room, she takes your hand and whispers "stay," and you obey her.
//-//
You wake up with Wanda entwined with you. It is warm and comforting, and you smile shyly at the sensation.Ā 
The redhead starts to wake up next, grumbling as she buries her face in your neck, making you smile.
- We have to get up. - You whisper to her. - We're leaving.
- In a minute.
She says and it really only takes a moment for her to open her eyes, and be startled by the position. She awkwardly pulls away from your embrace, but still lies there. You turn on the bed to look at her, resting your face on your hand.
- I'm sorry about last night. - She says embarrassed, looking down.
- No problem. - You say. - But what was that about anyway?
Wanda sighs, running her hands through her hair as she stares at the ceiling, her back on the mattress.
- Vision told me some stupid things, and well, I believed him. - She says and you look at her curiously. With your silence, she clarifies. - It was just some comments he used to make about my body, okay? Things like, people are only interested in me because I'm hot.
You frown, surprised and annoyed.Ā 
- That's bullshit.
Wanda looks at you, surprised that you said something. You look into her eyes as you speak again.
- Your boyfriend is an insecure scumbag who uses your body insecurities against you. It's sick. - You tell her seriously. - You, Wanda Maximoff, are completely passionate for a thousand reasons other than your looks. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
You smile at Wanda's surprised expression, letting your fingers wander across her features.Ā 
- Do you really mean that? - she asks insecurely, and you give her a tender look.
- You're sweet. - You start, letting your fingers caress her cheek. - Smart and sincere. You have this different energy, like you never fit anywhere and you're absolutely magnetic. - You tell her. - And of course, you also laugh at my jokes, which suggests that you are as sarcastic and perceptive as I am.Ā 
Wanda smiles and closes her eyes for a second, and then looks at you with almost guilt.
- Can I ask you a random question?
- Sure.
- If someone needed to apologize to you, what would be the best way?
- This is a very specific question, Wanda. Should I be concerned? - You retort with mild amusement, and Wanda quickly denies it.
- Come on, answer me. - She asks, and you giggle.
- I don't know, Wanda. - You say laughing, and roll your eyes slightly. - I guess it would depend on what the person did. - You explain, and Wanda looks at you with a frown. - What's that face, what would your answer be then?
- Food. - She says and you look at her with confusion. - The person would only have to buy me food and apologize and I would forgive them.
You let out a laugh, and Wanda follows. And then you assume a thoughtful posture.
- Honestly, I don't think if there is a right way. - You tell her. - I would like the person to be honest with me, and explain to me what happened. - You say, and Wanda nods with a serious expression. - That, or a really cheesy apology act.
- What? - Wanda asks with amusement.
- Yes, like in those old movies. - You clarify with a slight laugh. - If someone apologizes in the rain, or with a serenade at my window, I would probably forgive that person for the shame they are going through for me.
You and Wanda laugh and then your alarm clock starts to ring, signaling that it was already time for everyone to get up and go home. You sigh slightly.
As you sit up in bed, throwing your feet out, Wanda hugs your back, surprising you.
- Thank you. - She says against your ear. - Don't give up on me yet, okay?
You frown in confusion, laughing without understanding Wanda's seriousness. You squeeze your hands together, but then she lets go.Ā 
- Is everything all right? - you ask as she turns around on the bed and stands up in front of you. Wanda swallows dryly, nodding. She smiles before she leaves, and you ignore the strange feeling that has settled on the pit of your stomach as you stand up toward the bathroom.
//-//
The way back to your house is strangely silent. It seems that all of Wanda's friends have changed their personalities overnight. Pietro gives you a quick hug across the shoulders as you get out of the car, and Wanda kisses your cheek. Vision doesn't look at you.
You call your friends as soon as you finish packing your things in your room. And everyone is extremely surprised when you share what has happened in the last few days.
When you return to school the next day, you are feeling excited.Ā 
Your first class is Biology, which means that you would have some time alone with Wanda, and while you wait for the starting bell, sitting on the benches outside with your friends, Wanda's group passes you by.Ā 
You frown as you notice Vision with his arm around Wanda, and she quickly looks away when she notices you watching. You clench your jaw at the childish attitude, and then you are getting up and walking toward the table they have chosen.
- Can I talk to you? - You ask the redhead directly, who seems to have trouble keeping her gaze on you. Her friends also look awkward, as if they are almost embarrassed, and none of them look at you for very long. Completely unlike Vision, who has a smug posture and a wry smile.
- Leave my girlfriend alone, freak. - He then says, and you blink in surprise.
- What is your problem? - You retort in irritation and Vision lets out a wry laugh.
- What is your problem? - He repeats, getting up and facing you. You don't hesitate, but you don't understand why everyone just stares at you. - What did you think was going to happen, huh? That you would start hanging out with the cool kids?
You look at him in confusion, and then he crosses his arms.
- I just want to talk to Wanda.
Vision laughed, looking mocking.
- You're so stupid. - He accused and you took a step back. - The bet is off girl, Wanda has nothing to say.
You blink in confusion, and the redhead is getting up, pulling on her boyfriend's forearm, but you look at them feeling your heart racing.
- What are you talking about?
Vision laughs, releasing Wanda's grip. You think she whispered "Please don't," but you are trying to understand what is going on.
- Oh, your dear friend didn't tell you? - he asks debauchedly. - We had a bet. I was sure you'd be completely obsessed with Wanda by the end of the holiday, and look at you! Here you are. I don't blame you though, Wanda is hot.
You choke in surprise, taking another step back. You risk a glance at the rest of the group, and they have their heads down, guilty looks on their faces. And then you look at Wanda, eyes watering as she clenches her fists. Feeling your heart break, and your stomach clench, you nod.
- Y/N, I can explain. - Wanda starts and you laugh, running your hands through your hair.
- I've always defended you. - You say, putting your hands in your pockets. - When people told me you were false and deceitful, I defended you. I really thought you were different from them.
- I....
- I can't believe I trusted you. - You say. - Never speak to me again, Wanda Maximoff.
You turned around walking away, ignoring the times the redhead called your name as you held back your tears.Ā 
//-//
Your mother told the school that you were sick.
That's how you felt anyway.
It had been three days since you had left your room. Bruce, Monica and Natasha were sending you all the school content you were missing, and you struggled to keep your focus on that and not on the heartbreak that seemed to take over your whole body.
The weekend arrived again, and you decided to get some fresh air. You were on your balcony, sipping hot chocolate when Nat came into your yard.
- Hey, stranger. - She greets you with a smile, sitting down on the seat in front of you. You give her a sad smile.
- Hi, Nat.Ā 
- How are you?
You shrug, and she sighs.
- It will pass, I promise. - She says and you drink some of your chocolate. - By the way, I'm suspended.
- What? - You ask in surprise, and she giggles, showing you the bandage on the fingers of her right hand.
- I punched Vision in the nose shortly after you left the cafeteria. - She tells you, and you widen your eyes in surprise. - I didn't say anything before because I didn't want you to feel guilty.
- Nat! - you exclaim, slightly upset, looking at her hand. - You didn't have to do that.
- I know. - she says with a slight laugh. - But you are my friend, and he is an idiot. You're a dork who doesn't have the strength to hurt a fly, but I have a feeling you'd do the same for me.
You laugh, nodding.
- I would probably get beat up in reality.
Nat laughs in agreement.
You are silent for a moment, until Nat speaks again.
- I hate to see you like this. - She comments, and you sigh, leaving the coffee mug on the table.Ā 
- I hate feeling like this too.Ā 
Nat sighs, opening her arms. You accept her invitation to hug her, and sit down next to her on the bench, letting her wrap you in a side hug.
- You'll come out of this, dear. - She starts to say as she strokes your hair. - Next year you'll be in college, with so many people wanting to get into your pants that you won't even remember who Wanda Maximoff was.
You laugh shyly.
- I hope you are right. - You grumble, closing your eyes.
- I always am.
//-//
You go back to school the following week.
Your body always seems to notice that Wanda is in the same room as you, even though she is meters away, but you learn to deal with the feeling.
You talked to the biology teacher on Monday morning. Apparently, the news quickly spread throughout the school, and she did not refuse to change your partner.Ā 
It wasn't an ideal scenario knowing that everyone in the school was feeling sorry for you, but at least you wouldn't have to talk to Wanda in class.
And so two weeks passed.
You were almost getting used to the feeling as you walked towards the main building, after stopping by the library and returning the physics books you were using, when you heard a commotion in the courtyard.
There was already a circle of students around, and you were considering turning around, because fights are not really your thing, but you had a feeling you should check it out.Ā 
As you slipped in among the students, you let out a surprised exclamation.
- Bruce! - You shouted as you threw the bag on the ground and lunged forward, but the boy who was fighting with your friend just turned around when you jumped at him, breaking free of your grip and laughing with irony and anger. He slapped you in the face that drew a surprised chorus from the crowd. You staggered back with the impact, feeling your face burn. But you stepped forward again, but he gave you a hard shove that knocked you to the ground. As you got up to go forward again, someone grabbed you around the waist. - Pietro, let me go! Help him!
You let out another exclamation when the boy punched Bruce in the face, but Pietro pushed you away from the fight, and Steve held you by the arms in the crowd. Pietro lunged at the boy next, while Bruce fell unconscious.
You broke free of Steve's grip and ran to your friend, and then there were teachers all around you, and you were all being led into the principal's office.
The counselor motioned for you to sit in one of the chairs to wait your turn, and you used this moment to send messages to your friends. Monica told you that she heard about the fight, but that she was in the history room when it happened. Natasha didn't answer, and when she appeared in front of you, you frowned.
- Nat, Bruce he...
- I know. - She interrupted seriously with an almost tearful expression. - He was fighting for me.
- For you? What?
Nat shook her head, looking toward the direction door.
- I told him not to get involved, but he is stubborn. - She says and then takes a deep breath. - That boy over there, his name is Clint. He's my ex. He... he hit me.
- Whoa, what?
- I know, it's too much to explain. - She says. - Me and Bruce, we... we've been going out for a few weeks now. And Clint wasn't happy when he found out. I told Bruce not to get involved butā€¦
- Hey, Nat breathes. - You interrupt by seeing her eyes filled with tears. - This is not your fault.
You hug your friend, trying to calm her down. It doesn't take long for Monica to reach you two.
Soon the director calls you to give your side of the story, and you just tell him that you arrived in the middle of the fight. As you leave, the principal asks you to go to the infirmary and only then you remember that you were beaten.
You give up the idea of getting a bandage when you find Pietro and the group of friends, including Wanda, in the infirmary, but as soon as the nurse lays eyes on you, she pulls you in, sitting you down on one of the free beds.
She starts grumbling that the students have decided to behave like savages as she rushes over with the first aid kits to attend to all the students who were in the infirmary. You don't quite understand what happened, but it seemed that some kids had made a mess in the pesticide gardening class, so there were several students with red spots on their arms complaining of pain.
- It's okay, I can do it. - You tell the nurse as soon as she approaches you with the first aid kit. She looks at you suspiciously, but then a student at your back lets out a complaint and she sighs, handing the items to you as she leaves. You get up to look in the small mirror on the edge of the bed. There is a small cut on your cheek. That guy really hit hard.
While you were preparing the alcohol swab, Wanda walked over to you. You stared at her reflection in the mirror.
- I can help you with this. - She said about the bandage.
- I don't need your help. - You retorted harshly. Wanda looked at the floor.Ā 
- I am sorry.Ā 
You blinked in surprise, and turned away in irritation.
- No.Ā  - You warned, and Wanda swallowed hard.Ā  She looked at you, ready to start talking again, but then you shook your head. - Don't you dare.
- Pleaseā€¦
But you left right away, bumping into her shoulder.
Almost four weeks, and your chest still hurts just the same.Ā 
You think the nurse has called you, but you keep walking towards the exit.Ā 
When you reached the outer courtyard, you collapsed.Ā 
Sitting on the floor, and trying to control your breathing and your crying, you were startled when someone touched your shoulders. Monica didn't ask questions, she just hugged you.
- I can't do it, Mon. - You said between sobs. - I love her so much it feels like I'm going to suffocate.
- Shh, it's okay. - Monica tried to calm you down as she ran her hands down your back.
- Why can't I move on? She hurt me, why can't I stop loving her? - you asked in desperation. Monica just kept calming you.Ā 
- I know it feels like the end of the world now. - Monica says. - But I promise it will pass.
You cried for a few more minutes, trying to push or smother the pain away. It wasn't fair the way Wanda had your broken heart in her hand.
//-//
Bruce did not suffer any serious injuries.
You visited him in the infirmary as soon as he was released from the principal's office. He was worried about your swollen crying eyes, but you assured him that everything was fine.
And then he told you that he was in love with Natasha, and that Clint had been expelled. You shook his hand, saying that everything would be all right now. Soon Nat was in the room with you, hugging Bruce, while you went out with Monica to get something to eat.
The week passed quietly after this.Ā 
Your friends started the "Moving on squad", and they did everything to keep you distracted and well cared for. It was sweet and caring, and it was enough to keep your feelings well under control.
A few days after that mess, you needed to buy tomato sauce for your mother and found Pietro Maximoff in the supermarket checkout line.
- Hey. - He greeted you politely. You felt your heart race at the possibility that he was with his sister.Ā 
- Hi, Pietro. - You answered in the same tone.
You were checking around for signs of the redhead, but Pietro was alone. He said something about the prices, and you just grumbled in agreement, and then it was your turn.
In the parking lot, while you were unlocking your bike, he approached you again.
- I want to apologize to you. - He announced as he approached, and you let out a sigh.
- Look Pietro...
- No. - He interrupts with a quick smile. - I meant it. I'm really sorry. You're a nice girl, and we were idiots.Ā 
You stare at him for a moment, then go back to picking the lock.
- Is that all?
- Yes. - He confirms with a wry smile. But when he turns around, you call out to him.
- I... Thank you for that day. - You say. - You pulled me out of the fight. I probably would have got hurt if... what I mean is...Ā 
- It's all right.- He interrupts with a smile. - It was nothing.Ā 
You nodded and he smiled, turning again and walking away. You finished unlocking the lock and got on your bike.
//-//
The next week you were surprised to find a box of chocolate in your closet.
Nat exchanged a mischievous look with you, and you rolled your eyes absentmindedly, opening the package. It didn't have a name on it, and only said "you are cute".Ā 
- I can't believe you have a secret admirer. - Monica commented excitedly when you told her during lunch. Bruce and Natasha were sitting next to you, laughing lightly as they talked among themselves.
- Neither do I. - You comment with humor. - But the chocolates were good at least.
- I think itā€™s sweet. - She comments with a smile, and you shrug, blushing.
- It's weird. - You say with a slight laugh, and Monica squeezes your red cheeks lightly, saying that you're adorable, making you laugh. - Damn, I'm terrible at these things.
You start talking about the upcoming exams after that, and then the break ends.
It is in the last period of PE that you speak with Pietro again several days after you saw him last.
- Hey. - He greets you with an excited nod. You smile politely as you tie your shoelaces.Ā 
- Hi. - You say as he joins you.
- Are you going to the game on Saturday? - he asks, causing you to frown.Ā 
- I'm not...
- My god this guy never gives up. - He interrupts with a scowl, looking at something behind you. You turn your head to see what it is, and notice Vision talking to Wanda several feet ahead, near the bleachers. The redhead looks impatient, and you feel your heart ache just by looking directly at her. Shifting your gaze back to Pietro, you notice that he is still grimacing. - They've been broken up for over a month and he still keeps insisting.
You blink in surprise and Pietro looks back at you.
- They broke up?
- I thought you knew. - He quips, slightly surprised, and then shrugs his shoulders. - They broke up that day in the yard. Wanda slapped him in the face in front of the whole school, everyone talked about it for weeks.
- I'm not really into school gossip. - You comment and Pietro laughs.
- Of course not.
You stand up next, your gaze quickly shifting to Wanda, but you disguise it by looking at Pietro, who has an expectant expression on his face. Then you remember the question and let out an exclamation, running your hands through your hair.
- I'm not into sports, Pietro. - You tell him and he nods in understanding, looking upset. - But I like the food. And Natasha loves the games, so maybe I'll show up with my friends there.
Pietro lets out an excited exclamation, and gives you a pat on the shoulder, saying he hopes you can make it, before heading out onto the court.Ā 
You ignore the nervous feeling in your stomach when your gaze meets Wanda's on the other side of the court, and you quickly turn away, starting to do your exercises for class.
//-//
You were slightly surprised by Natasha's outfit. She was covered head to toe in school colors, down to a commemorative hat and matching socks. You looked at her with a raised eyebrow, but she just smiled as she pulled you by the hand to Monica's truck.
- How is the story about the secret admirer going? - Nat asked as you sat in the back seat, and Monica drove to school and Bruce fiddled with the radio.
- I received flowers on Wednesday. - You tell with a smile. - And a collection of special gift vouchers.
- What are these? - She asked curiously, and Monica laughed lightly as you felt your cheeks flush.
- It's a special kind of ... eh ... vouchers for hugs, kisses, that sort of thing. - You mumbled clumsily and Natasha laughed.
- My goodness, look at your face! - She laughed. - You are loving how corny this is.
You grumbled with a hot face, turning your gaze to the window. Bruce chose a very good song next, and your friends started singing along. It didn't take long before you joined them.
//-//
The school stadium was quite crowded. Senior year games always had scouts from universities, so you weren't surprised by family members, and well-dressed strangers in the stands, as well as faculty.Ā 
- Wow, Mom is going to have fun today. - Monica commented as two you walked to the bleachers. She was looking at her cell phone, and showed you a picture of two glasses of wine that Maria had sent her. - She has a date.
- Have you met them? - you asked curiously, and Monica made a noise with her mouth of agreement.
- She's from the Air Force. Very pretty and fun, and she treated me very well. - She told you with a smile. - I hope everything works out between them, Mom deserves to be happy.
You nod in agreement and then you find empty chairs. Bruce and Natasha join you many moments later, carrying the food.Ā 
- Yay, fries. - Monica says excitedly as Natasha distributes the food among you.
The band then enters the stadium. And the crowd seems excited, you and Monica laugh at Natasha's excitement.
As soon as the band makes their formation, the cheerleaders enter the field and the crowd cheers. You try not to look at Wanda so immediately, but that is exactly what you do. When they are all in the center, and finish the performance with lots of applause, the director gets up on the stage and starts announcing the game.
- And without further ado, West View High let's...
The principal is interrupted abruptly by one of the students. You and the audience watch intently as Pepper nudges the principal on the shoulder, and he turns around confused and surprised. She smiles innocently as she quickly takes the microphone from his hand.
- We had a slight change of plans, West View. - she announces, smiling. And then the band is moving on, and you recognize the music quickly. It was an old rock song. The audience sings along excitedly, surprised and in shock, but still happy with the music.Ā 
As the music plays, Pepper turns back to the director, and they discuss something. He lets out a sigh and shakes his head, and she gives an excited little jump, and then is joining the cheering team again.
When the song ends, it is not Pepper who comes up to the podium with the microphone, but Wanda, which generates a lot of comments from the audience.
- Is that? - Natasha starts and you feel your stomach turn.
- Yep.
- Hello West View. - Wanda begins looking nervous, the audience looks at her in anticipation. - Many of you must think me a complete bitch after the rumors that surfaced a few weeks ago.
- Oh my God. - You mumble clumsily, feeling the stares of some people on you.Ā 
- I think I should explain what happened. - Wanda says tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, and ignoring the comments from the audience, she continues talking. - My ex-boyfriend and my best friends decided to make a bet. - She explains, and you clench your jaw. - He bet my friends that if I gave even the slightest bit of attention to our colleague, Y/N Y/L/N, she would become obsessed with me in one weekend. - The audience seems shocked by the confessions, but Wanda was looking at you. - The funny thing is, it was the exact opposite. Y/N is this amazing girl, sweet and caring, and I can't stop thinking about her. It must be because I am completely in love with her. - She confessed, and you felt your eyes fill with tears. - But I blew it. I was mean and cruel, and I'm sorry. I'm here to apologize to you Y/N, and you don't even have to forgive me. I just wanted you to know.
The audience erupted in murmurs at the confession, and you were in shock to react. Wanda was also teary-eyed.Ā 
A mixture of "forgive her" and " start the game" and various other comments began to grow louder, and then Director Fury was approaching Wanda, and asking for the microphone back. She took one last look at you, before bowing her head and walking off the field. The audience let out a mixed chorus of celebration and sadness, and then Monica was pushing you slightly, and you waved frantically as you hurried to catch up to Wanda.
- I can't believe you did that! - You shout at her as soon as you reach her in the gymnasium hallway, the noise of the game starting muffled by the distance.
Wanda turns around in surprise, wiping away tears.
- I just...
- When I said the perfect apology would be like a clichƩ, I can't believe you took it seriously. - You comment as you approach laughing lightly. Wanda looks surprised at your friendly posture. - You are such a dork.
And then you kiss her as you bring your hands to her waist, and she sighs in astonishment, but responds the next second, trembling as your tongues touch.Ā 
You push her against the wall of the hallway, and she slips her arms around your shoulders, melting into the kiss. You separate your mouths for breath.
- I'm sorry. - She asks again with her eyes closed. - I'm really sorry.
- I know. - You agree breathlessly. - Just... don't ever do anything like that again.Ā 
She nods in agreement, kissing you again. It's delicious the way your tongues feel together, making your head spin. You are blushing because Wanda is sighing and making a warm tightness rise in the pit of your stomach.
- I love you too, Wands. - You confess against her lips and she opens her eyes in surprise, you look at her with a smile. - I guess ever since you laughed at my joke in biology class.
Wanda lets out a short laugh, her eyes sparkling with joy.
- I love you. - She answers by kissing you quickly. - I love you. - She repeats and starts depositing kisses all over your face, making you laugh. She repeats and repeats until you kiss her again, intensely this time.
You stay like this for several minutes. Exchanging not-so-innocent kisses against the gymnasium wall. Until the first half of the game is over, and you hear the sound of the players returning to the locker room, and then Pietro is reaching for you, making a false threatening posture when he notices your swollen lips, and Wanda's lipstick on your face.
- Please get a room. - He then jokes, continuing on his way to the locker room.Ā 
You and Wanda agree to leave the stadium, wanting to enjoy some time together without the stares of the audience on you.
You two end up in the back of Monica's truck, staring up at the stars, your hands entwined.
- So it was you who sent the presents. - You conclude by looking at Wanda quickly, to catch her blushing cheeks.
- I was trying to find a way to talk to you. - She explained, turning to you, releasing her hand only to stroke your cheek. - That's why I made the voucher ā€œworth a conversationā€.
You laughed lightly, looking at her fondly.
- I liked the kiss coupon. - You say with amusement and she raises her eyebrow, smiling.Ā 
- Yeah? - She replies, bringing your faces together and stealing a lingering kiss from you.
- Best one.
Wanda laughs, pulling away a little. You swallow dryly, watching her carefully.Ā 
- What happens now? - you ask, and Wanda looks into your eyes.
- I don't know. - She says. - But I hope we'll be together in the end.
You smile, nodding.Ā 
- We will. - You assure her before adjusting your position to embrace her. Wanda snuggles against you, enjoying your warmth.

Summary: Steve thinks youā€™re too young to like him despite the obvious hints youā€™re dropping.
Warnings: unspecified age gap
Word count: 2246
a/n: Iā€™ve clearly spent too much time on TikTok recently, but inspired me to write something so that's good. It was loosely based on a request for a young reader x Steve, but I forgot part of the request so I'm gonna write something else for that one! Also, I wrote this on my phone so please excuse any typos I missed when trying to edit it lol
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Messing with Steve is one of your favorite things to do. Tiny pranks, over the top flirting, poking fun at his lack of understanding of technology. Anything you can do to get him to roll his eyes and chuckle.
Nat would say itā€™s because of your feelings for him. She would be correct. Not that youā€™d ever admit that to anyone. Nope. So instead, you have your fun, and enjoy the way his eyes crinkle and his cheeks redden.
Your newest method of hearing the sweet sound of Steveā€™s laugh? TikTok. Itā€™s a double whammy. One because he doesnā€™t understand the app and two because a lot of the trends make him blush.
It started as a fun way to blow off steam. Sometimes, being one of the younger and newer team members made you feel like an outsider. Of course, Peter was younger than you, but he had his own friends outside of the team. You didnā€™t have anyone else. When Tony found you and invited you to join, it was you against the world. Now you have this makeshift family.
Having your account on TikTok helped you when you hadnā€™t really become a part of the group yet. You bonded with Peter because of his account, and you found a new way to make Steve blush.
Anyway, youā€™ve learned way more TikTok dances than you ever would have thought just to see his pink cheeks. Itā€™s not even always over the top dances that have him chuckling. The last trend you did had him laughing the entire day. It was that sound about Wednesday Adams having one thing on her mind. Only when it said homicide, instead of a deadpan expression you panned the camera to show Bucky and Sam arguing over who got the last donut.
Of course, you knew when you made the video it would appeal to Steveā€™s sense of humor. Sam and Bucky feature in a lot of your videos for that exact reason.
In general, you make a lot of videos featuring the Avengers just to keep Tony happy. He likes to be the center of attention, plus the only way he would approve of your account was if it could also feature as PR for the team. You agreed, as long as you had final say over what you posted. Thereā€™s nothing scripted or designed for a specific reason, you just feature the team sometimes.
Like when that sound from the Big Bang theory was popular amongst Avengers fans, you made a video confessing to Pepper that youā€™d been thinking about the Avengers, panning to show the team during training.
Of course, the text on the screen said ā€œyou are an Avengerā€ instead of ā€œI believe thatā€, allowing you to play off the joke. But still, it was fun to include the team.
One of your favorite videos features none other than Scott Lang, mostly because nobody else would do it. Scott thought it was hilarious though.
Using the sound from New Girl, Scott played Schmidt and you Jess. The text on the screen read as follows:
Scott: You just walk around all day thinking about Americaā€™s Ass?
You: Yeah, donā€™t you?
Scott: No! How do you get anything done?
You: Itā€™s hardā€¦
Steve blushed like crazy when everyone cornered him to watch it. Bucky, Sam, and Tony wouldnā€™t stop bringing it up for at least a month. A part of you hoped he might make a move after that video, seeing as you put yourself out there, but he just assumed it was a joke and laughed it off.
Honestly, you were running out of trends that you could use to get him to understand your feelings. You only had two ideas left, and one of them would be mortifying if it didnā€™t work outā€¦
-
ā€œSteve. Youā€™ve got to be kidding me.ā€ Bucky sighed, exasperated with Steve for the umpteenth time that month. ā€œYouā€™ve been pining for forever, just make a move!ā€ he whisper yelled, doing his best not to throttle his lifelong friend.
Steve rolled his eyes, purposefully ignoring Buckyā€™s pointed glare. The two men had spent the last hour looking through your TikTok account. Bucky was adamant that you liked Steve, but the blonde didnā€™t believe it, despite the so called proof Bucky kept forcing him to watch.
ā€œBuck, would you please just back off? Weā€™re friends. Sheā€™s too young to want to be with me like that.ā€ Steve blushed, thinking about the context of his words.
Before Bucky could say anything about how repressing his feelings is bad for him, a new video popped up on your account. Bucky smirked when he saw the thumbnail was once again a picture of Steve, this time with a beard. Steve took the silence as an opportunity to escape, walking into his closet to change.
The video opened with a video of you and Natasha just hanging out, you lip syncing to the words ā€œI like you have a cupcake.ā€ You repeated the words as the video cut to you and Tony.
Bucky nearly dropped the phone when ā€œsmack my ass like a drumā€ blared from the speaker. He cackled bending over in a fit of laughter when he realized thatā€™s what Steveā€™s picture was used for- and one where he had a beard to boot.
ā€œWhat is it now, jerk?ā€ Steve emerged from his closet, having changed into loungewear. The sight of Bucky fully cackling had him nervous.
Bucky tossed him the phone, doing his best to stop laughing long enough to tell him to watch the most recent video. With a hesitant sigh, Steve obliged.
Again, Bucky rolled his eyes at how obvious Steveā€™s feelings were. The second he saw you on the screen, he smiled. And not one of those half hearted polite smiles, a full on happy smile.
Steveā€™s eyes widened, nearly bulging out of his head when he got to the end of the video.
ā€œā€˜She doesnā€™t want to be with me like that.ā€™ā€ Bucky mocked his friends earlier words, grabbing his phone back. ā€œPunk, I donā€™t know how much more obvious she could be.ā€
With one more glare in Steveā€™s direction, Bucky finally left him to his own thoughts. Okay, so you made a lot of videos about how you find him attractive. That doesnā€™t necessarily mean youā€™d want to be in a relationship with him. Leave it to Steve to talk himself out of everything Bucky had spent so long trying to convince him of.
-
You were desperate at this point. You honestly thought the cupcake one would send him over the edge, but it didnā€™t work either. It has been three days, and you know Steveā€™s seen the video because everyone likes to tease him about it.
ā€œNaaaaaat, itā€™s not working,ā€ you whined, dramatically throwing yourself onto her bed. She laughed at your antics, briefly looking up at you before deciding to stop what she was going and give you her full attention.
ā€œLook, not only is Steve one of the most clueless people Iā€™ve ever met when it comes to women, but he can also talk himself out of believing someoneā€™s interested in him. Especially you.ā€ Nat watched as you lifted your head from her comforter, slowly turning to stare at her with narrowed eyes.
ā€œEspecially me?ā€ you questioned. Why would you have a different standard?
ā€œY/N, Steveā€™s from the 40s. Heā€™s super old fashioned. You're a hot young thing, super up to date on modern trends. He thinks you're just messing around as friends because he doesnā€™t believe someone as young as you would be interested in actually having a relationship with him,ā€ she spelt it out for you, sick of trying to get you to figure it out on your own.
You took a minute to fully understand what she was saying, but then sat up when a new idea struck. ā€œSo youā€™re saying I need to be more direct?ā€
Her eyes narrowed, but she nodded nonetheless.
ā€œIā€™ve got an idea. Thanks Nat!ā€ you ran from the room before she could question your newest plan, instead checking to make sure her notifications were on for posts from your TikTok account.
-
ā€œSteve!ā€ you shouted when you saw him down the hall, about to turn a corner. He immediately stopped, turning back to see you running at him. ā€œI need your help!ā€
You pulled him into the gym, briefly glancing around the room to make sure it was empty. Confirming nobody else was present, you set up your phone on one of the weight racks to record the two of you. It was already open to the recording section of TikTok, the sound you needed queued and ready to begin.
ā€œWhatā€™s going on?ā€ Steve looked between you and the phone, nerves heightening as he realized what you were doing. All of your videos about him thus far hasnā€™t actually involved him filming anything.
ā€œI just need you to react to this trend, okay? Itā€™s kind of old, but that doesnā€™t really matter,ā€ you spoke quickly, trying to start the video before he could decline.
The music started playing instantly, with Steve awkwardly looking between the screen and you. He wasnā€™t sure what exactly he was reacting to, and it had him on edge. Just as the song reached the chorus, you turned and grabbed his face. Throwing caution to the wind, you followed through with your plan before you could back out, kissing him with all the passion and emotion youā€™d been holding back.
Steve froze, clearly surprised by your actions. Before you could pull away, he wrapped his arms around you and pulled you closer. He kissed you with equal passion and emotion, no longer paying attention to your phone recording the moment.
Neither of you noticed when the music cut off, too wrapped up in each other. When the need for air overpowered the desire to keep kissing him, you pulled back to gasp in a few breaths. Steve leaned his forehead against yours, eyes closed and breathing erratic.
The two do you spent the next few moments just breathing, trying to come to terms with what just happened. You gasped when his hands moved, one resting on your waist and the other cupping your cheek. His eyes were still closed when you chanced a glance at him.
ā€œWhat was the trend?ā€ he breathily whispered the words, still coming down from the high of kissing you.
ā€œHuh?ā€ you mumbled, unable to comprehend the question when he was still touching you like this.
ā€œThe TikTok trend? What was it?ā€ his grip on your hip tightened, but his hand framing your face remained gentle.
ā€œOh, uh, it was- it was kissing your best friend/crush.ā€ You whispered, heart still racing from his proximity. Your nerves had never been greater. Yeah, Nat always tells you that Steve has feelings for you, but what if he was just being polite? Maybe he didnā€™t know how to reject you when you kissed him out of nowhere, and now heā€™s trying to find a way to turn you down gently. What if-
ā€œWas my reaction good enough to post?ā€ he broke your train of thought with another question. You took a minute to think about the question, your brain still moving like molasses
ā€œUm, that dependsā€¦ā€ you froze when his eyes opened and stared into yours.
ā€œOn?ā€ he prompted you to continue.
ā€œWhich caption I can use.ā€ you finished the thought, finally remembering the two most common outcomes of the trend.
ā€œWhat are the choices?ā€ Steve smirked when you looked flustered, clearly not expecting this conversation.
ā€œUh, the two-ā€ he began rubbing small circles into your hip with his thumb, effectively cutting off your train of thought again. It wasnā€™t until he lightly squeezed your hip again that you remember you were answering his question.
ā€œRight! The two most common captions are some variation of ā€˜this was so awkwardā€™ or ā€˜weā€™re dating nowā€™,ā€ you managed to blurt out the choices, blushing when he smiled at you.
ā€œWell, I know which I preferā€¦ā€ you waited with bated breath as he prolonged the silence, enjoying seeing you so on edge. You nearly whined when he let you go, moving to pick up your phone from the weight rack.
You watched in silence as he typed out a caption, tapping each letter with his pointer finger. A small smile formed on your lips at his adorable old man behavior. He then managed to find the post button, adding the video to your account before handing you the phone to see what he chose.
Your smile only grew after you read the caption, dropping the phone and immediately kissing him again.
-
Meanwhile, Nat had gathered the rest of the team that happened to be around to wait for whatever video you had planned to be posted.
Tony, Sam, Bucky, Wanda, Vision, Peter, and Clint all watched as the new video popped up on the screen. Peter bounced with excitement when he heard the song, instantly recognizing the trend. The rest of the group watched as you kissed Steve, mouths gaping open when he actually kissed you back.
Fans were already commenting about how long it took for the two of you to get together, but the team was too focused on laughing at the caption to pay any mind to the comments.
She said the trend was kind of old, but that fits because Iā€™ve got a habit of waiting too long anyways.

Impossibilities.
A/N: I hope you guys enjoy this one, bit different of a topic to deal with. I have read a lot of stories of these things happening, I have put warnings in and if the topic is too much please donā€™t read. I will accept constructiveĀ critiscm. (I understand that what happens throughout this writing is not a reality for some but it is a work of fiction and I absolutely hold no intent to offend anyone.
Warnings: Mentions of sex, talks of infertility, language.
W/C: 5K... there may be typos.
You were almost in shock as you stared at the test in your hand. Impossible. There was no way that this was true, it couldnā€™t be, youā€™d been told as much. You furrowed your brows as you looked up at the doctor.
ā€œThis isnā€™t, this canā€™t be right.ā€ You stumbled out.
ā€œIt is, weā€™ve tested you almost every way possible. Youā€™re pregnant.ā€ He confirmed and you still couldnā€™t work out how it made you feel.
Youā€™d never considered this as an option, you were told when you turned sixteen that you couldnā€™t have children, that you were infertile. You struggled with bad periods and when you went to the doctors they ran full tests on you and thatā€™s how you found out. Youā€™d never thought about children, why would you have? The idea of being a mother wasnā€™t something you ever considered and now you were faced with it, well you didnā€™t know how to feel.
You were terrified, youā€™d come here today because you thought you were ill, not pregnant. You wondered if you were dreaming, you were so sure youā€™d turned your alarm off and rolled out of bed this morning for this appointment. It must have been a dream, there was no way this was possible.
The doctor continued to look and you and you looked up at him, you couldnā€™t speak, you didnā€™t know what to say. You didnā€™t even know how you should feel, let alone what to say about it. ā€œWould you like us to call Mr Holland?ā€ The doctor asked, heā€™d grown concerned over your quiet demeanor.
ā€œNo,ā€ you shook your head. ā€œHeā€™s away.ā€ You continued quietly.
ā€œWould you like me to call someone for you?ā€ He asked again and you shook your head.
ā€œNo, Iā€™m okay. I just, I donā€™t know. Iā€™d never considered this a possibility. Will it make it? The baby I mean?ā€ You asked quietly and the doctor gave you a small smile.
ā€œYou stand the same chance as every other woman who falls pregnant.ā€ He offered, it was almost a comfort to you, the worry setting in that youā€™d miscarry because you genuinely believed the universe didnā€™t pick you to have children. You nodded slightly as you stood. ā€œYou should talk to your husband.ā€ He added.
ā€œI will.ā€ You confirmed, you just didnā€™t know how and when. Youā€™d told him about your infertility early on in the relationship so you could save a broken heart down the line, save him getting his hopes high as the relationship progressed. Heā€™d mentioned the idea of adoption, but it was something you both wanted to wait for and hadnā€™t fully decided if you were going to, what if this hindered the plans youā€™d made together?
Being a married couple who seemingly couldnā€™t have children, youā€™d planned your lives to work a little differently. It never involved a family in your mid-twenties. Youā€™d been with him for three years, married six months and now you were about to become parents. Where would this leave you?
You suddenly felt guilty, you were part of an extraordinarily rare group of women. Shouldnā€™t you be jumping for joy? Maybe you would be if you werenā€™t so shocked. You hadnā€™t exactly been trying, of course youā€™d gone three years having unprotected sex with no birth control but there was never any need. You were never doing it for the purpose of procreating. You didnā€™t even track your period, thatā€™s how much you believed you couldnā€™t conceive.
You made your way out of the doctors, sitting in your car as you pressed your forehead against the steering wheel. You debated telling Tom your appointment was over but ultimately decided not to. He was only an hour ahead of you from where he was filming, you knew heā€™d be waiting for your text or call but you werenā€™t ready to have the conversation, you still had a lot to process first. The drive home was almost a blur, making your way back to your shared house.
Tess greeted you, jumping up at you as you mindlessly stroked her head, making your way into the kitchen, she was hot on your heels, your greeting towards her wasnā€™t what she wanted, it felt off. It was like she always sensed when you were out of sorts or having a bad day, sheā€™d follow you around, make sure you were okay. Pouring yourself a glass of water you thought about what you should do.
Your thoughts spiraled more the more you thought about how you were going to tell your husband. You wanted to feel complete and utter joy, but you couldnā€™t, so many emotions running through your mind at once. It was almost head ache inducing. Your phone buzzed on the side, bringing you from your thoughts as you picked it up, opening a message Tom had sent you.
Tom: You finished yet? Seems like a long appointment. You okay? Iā€™m getting worried not hearing from you xx
You stared at the text, how do you respond? You canā€™t tell him news like this over a text or a phone call, it didnā€™t seem right. You needed to tell him in person, but he wasnā€™t due back for a month, you swallowed thickly as typed out your response.
You: Yeah, sorry, I forgot to message, got distracted. Iā€™m okay xx
You read his reply, he was happy you were okay, a light scalding about scaring him like that. You needed to see him, but you couldnā€™t ask him to come home, heā€™d only worry more, and he was filming, his schedule was tight. You sighed as you pulled up Harryā€™s contact, it didnā€™t take him long to answer.
ā€œY/N? Hey.ā€ Harry said, his usual chirpy self.
ā€œHey Harry. Can you send me the details of where youā€™re staying? Want to surprise Tom.ā€ You said as normal as you could muster.
ā€œYou missing him already? Heā€™s only been gone a week.ā€ Harry teased with a short laugh.
ā€œYeah, I just want to see him.ā€ You confirmed, tone dropping slightly.
ā€œYou okay?ā€ Harry asked worriedly, he knew you were always up for a laugh, but youā€™d not taken the bait, so he knew something was off.
ā€œYeah, like I say I just miss him.ā€ You sighed, hoping Harry wouldnā€™t press further. ā€œJust donā€™t tell him Iā€™m coming, yeah?ā€
Harry promised he wouldnā€™t ruin the surprise, giving you the location of the hotel they were stopping in. You put the phone down and booked your flight, the next one wasnā€™t until tomorrow and you needed to talk to someone about this, you also needed to find cover for your shifts. You killed two birds with one stone as you called your best friend, asking her to come over if she could.
ā€œY/N? Whatā€™s up? You okay?ā€ She asked as she made her way into your home. She knew something was off when Tess didnā€™t greet her like she usually would. The dog only looking at her to make sure she wasnā€™t a threat before placing her head back in your lap.
ā€œI donā€™t know.ā€ You answered honestly, you felt tears brim your eyes, the emotional confusion was becoming too much for you. She sat next you, carefully as not to disturb the dog in your lap, who huffed, leaning her head onto you more. She became almost jealous when anyone else tried to comfort you, Tom found it endearing and infuriating at times.
ā€œHave you had a fight with Tom?ā€ She asked carefully, the pups ears pricking up at the mention of her owner. You shook your head in response. ā€œYou just missing him a lot?ā€ She pried, trying to get to the bottom of your problem.
ā€œNo more than usual.ā€ You answered as you slightly scratched Tessā€™s head.
ā€œHelp me out here Y/N/N, whatā€™s wrong?ā€ She asked and you looked at her, she noticed the tears in your eyes and furrowed her brows. ā€œY/N/N?ā€ She asked softly and you let the tears fall, you couldnā€™t help it. Tess standing on your lap as she nudged at your face. She assumed you were missing Tom, she was always so attentive and tried to cheer you up when you cried.
ā€œIā€™m pregnant.ā€ You said through your tears, pulling Tess into a hug as she placed her head on your shoulder. Your friend looking at you, shocked expression on her face.
ā€œAre you, are you sure?ā€ She asked carefully. Of course she knew about your supposed infertility.
ā€œThe doctor said so. I donā€™t know. I didnā€™t think it was possible. I know I should probably be happy but itā€™s so much to take in. I didnā€™t know this was possible.ā€ You got out. Your friend waited for you to calm down, watching as you cuddled Tessa, the dog licking your cheek every now and again until you calmed down.
ā€œSorry,ā€ you said as you sniffled, eventually calming down. Your friend smiling at you, in a comforting way. ā€œI just, I donā€™t know how this is supposed to make me feel.ā€ You said, Tess now peacefully back in your lap.
ā€œI donā€™t think thereā€™s a hand book for this sort of thing.ā€ Your friend said. ā€œLook, youā€™re just confused. The impossible has just become possible for you, of course youā€™re not gonna know how it makes you feel. You told Tom yet?ā€ She asked.
ā€œNo, I donā€™t know what to say. I donā€™t even know if itā€™s something he wants right now.ā€ You said, tears welling your eyes. ā€œHow do I tell him?ā€
ā€œI think you should just come out with it. Just say it. He loves you, Iā€™m sure he wonā€™t leave you. This is a good thing.ā€ She reassured as she placed a hand on your shoulder. ā€œA really good thing. Just tell him. Iā€™ll cover your shifts this week, just go and tell him.ā€ She said with a smile.
ā€œYou really think heā€™ll be okay with it? That weā€™ll be okay?ā€ Being pregnant was already scaring the living hell out of you and the thought of doing it alone? You couldnā€™t think too much about it right now.
ā€œI know he loves you and I know that the two of you are solid. You guys can work through anything. I think heā€™ll be over the moon. Youā€™ve been given a chance that not many people in your position do, I know that means youā€™re scared but you donā€™t have to be, youā€™ll be okay. Just let the excitement in.ā€ She said and you took in her words.
Maybe you did need to relax, this was a good thing. You didnā€™t feel ready to have a child, but you were given a gift that not many other women in your position are. You should be excited, you thought about it for a while, letting the excitement flood you. This felt like a miracle, an absolute gift from the universe.
**
After a relatively short flight you were met with your brother-in-lawā€™s arms, as he picked you up from the airport.
ā€œI couldā€™ve gotten a taxi.ā€ You smiled and Harry shrugged.
ā€œToms on a closed set, spoilers and all that. Didnā€™t have anything better to do.ā€ He teased as he nudged your shoulder and you smiled. ā€œRight, out with it.ā€ He said after your lack of usual response.
ā€œWhat?ā€ You asked, furrowed brows.
ā€œSomethingā€™s off. Whatā€™s wrong?ā€ He asked, concern written all over him as he opened the passenger door for you, making his way to the driverā€™s side.
ā€œI just want to see him.ā€ You shrugged, bringing a hand up to play with your bottom lip.
ā€œI appreciate that, I do. But, you had a doctorā€™s appointment yesterday and all of sudden youā€™re rushing to see him.ā€ He observed, he cared for you just like he would his own sister.
ā€œHowā€™d you know about that?ā€ You asked and Harry gave you a knowing look, of course Tom will have spent the last few days worrying about it. ā€œCan I tell you when Iā€™ve told Tom?ā€ You asked quietly.
ā€œWait, are you sick? Like actually ill?ā€ He asked as he pulled into the drive of the hotel. He turned the ignition off and looked at you. ā€œY/N/N, are you okay?ā€ He asked again and you couldnā€™t help as you burst into your second fit of tears in two days. He placed a hand on your shoulder. ā€œIā€™m sorry, I donā€™t mean to pry Iā€™m just worried.ā€ He furrowed his brows, when you didnā€™t respond he sighed as he pulled you into a hug.
ā€œI donā€™t know what to do.ā€ You said vaguely.
ā€œAbout what?ā€ He asked as he hugged you tighter, it was awkward positioning, but you felt slightly better.
ā€œHarry I need to tell Tom something and I donā€™t know how heā€™ll react.ā€ You sobbed, something about being in the hotel grounds had your nerves shooting through you, you werenā€™t far off Tom right now.
ā€œHey, whatever it is itā€™ll be okay.ā€ He said as he rubbed your back, you silently calmed yourself and he pulled you back to look at him. ā€œCome on, letā€™s get you to your husband.ā€ He said as you both exited the car.
The walk through the hotel didnā€™t feel long enough, your nerves felt like they were eating away at your heart, making your breathing more difficult as you tried to calm them. Harry was quiet as he led you through the halls. When he stopped outside the door you knew was Tomā€™s hotel room, you felt panic rise, you couldnā€™t do this.
ā€œHarry, I canā€™t.ā€ You said as you stopped him opening the door. He whipped to look at you.
ā€œY/N/N, when has there ever been a point in your relationship where you havenā€™t been able to talk about something?ā€ He reassured and you sighed.
ā€œThis is different.ā€ You said and Harry smiled sadly.
ā€œItā€™s nothing you guys canā€™t handle. Youā€™re a strong couple you know.ā€ He reassured as he grasped your hand in his. Youā€™d always been close to Tomā€™s family, they became like your own brotherā€™s. ā€œCome on.ā€ He said as he opened the door with the second key, Tom had his back to the door.
ā€œHarry? Whereā€™d you go?ā€ He asked, knowing it was his younger sibling.
ā€œWent to pick up a present for you.ā€ Harry smiled and Tom turned with furrowed brows.
ā€œWh- Y/N/N?ā€ Tom let out a breath of surprise. Seeing him after almost eight days apart still brought that feeling of excitement in you as your feet moved before you could stop them. Running to him as he opened his arms, ready to catch you. Your body collided with his as he picked you up, your legs instinctively wrapped around his waist as he buried his head in the crook of your neck.
You inhaled his scent, letting it calm your nerves, it always did. His scent and being in his arms, grounded you, kept you sane. It wasnā€™t long before the panic set in, what if he wouldnā€™t be there to ground you anymore? What if he didnā€™t want this? It was hard, you knew everything about him apart from his want or lack of when it came to children. You didnā€™t know how he was gonna react.
ā€œIā€™m just gonna.ā€ You heard Harry excuse himself as he heard your sobs start again. Tom stiffened slightly, holding you tighter.
ā€œWhatā€™s wrong? Hey, itā€™s only been eight days, weā€™ve done more.ā€ He said as he lightly shrugged his shoulder, forcing you to look at him. He took in your face, how tired you looked, it wasnā€™t until he settled on your eyes that he saw the fear in them, he didnā€™t miss a single detail when it came to you. ā€œWhatā€™s happened?ā€ He asked and you shook your head before stuffing your face back into his neck.
He held you, let you cry, he knew youā€™d talk but he wouldnā€™t push you. As worried as he was heā€™d wait for you to calm down, wait until you were ready. You stayed like that for a good five minutes before he heard your breathing calm and sniffles quieten, running a hand through your hair and running a hand up and down your thigh in comfort.
ā€œTom?ā€ You whimpered and his heart shattered, he couldnā€™t decipher what the fuck was going on and it scared the shit out of him. Youā€™d seen him and cried your eyes out, your sobs shaking your body in a way that had Tomā€™s heart hammering in his chest.
ā€œWhatā€™s wrong baby?ā€ He asked, voice soft as he kissed your temple. ā€œWhat happened?ā€ His grip tightened when you tried to get down, your body had still clung to him like heā€™d disappear. Hands relaxed as you let go of the tight grip on his t shirt. He didnā€™t want to let you go.
ā€œCan I get down please? You might want to sit for this.ā€ You said and Tom furrowed his brows as he did as you asked. He studied you for a moment before you gestured for him to sit on the edge of the bed, wiping at your sore nose. Youā€™d rubbed it so much after all your crying that it felt a little tender. He sat and you sat next to him, taking his hands in your shaking ones as you played with his fingers, he knew you did that when you were nervous or extremely relaxed and he deciphered the reason easily.
ā€œHey,ā€ he said as he let you continue playing with his digits. ā€œYou can talk to me, sweetheart youā€™re scaring me here.ā€ Tom said, voice incredibly soft, he was scared if he talked any louder youā€™d break, heā€™d never seen you so vulnerable.
You breathed in, you had to say it, heā€™d find out eventually, it wasnā€™t exactly something you could hide. On top of that you and Tom didnā€™t do secrets, not between each other. You let out a shaky breath as you looked at your husband, nothing but worry and care reflecting in his eyes.
ā€œI,ā€ you started, voice hoarse from all your crying. ā€œI donā€™t know how to say it.ā€ You admitted and Tomā€™s heart dropped, heā€™d never in your entire relationship seen you so vulnerable, never seen you at such a loss for words.
ā€œJust say it. Rip the bandage of?ā€ He offered in aid, and he heard you take in a deep breath before speaking.
ā€œIā€™m pregnant.ā€ You breathed out in a whisper. Tom didnā€™t catch it as he pulled one of his hands from your grasp, eyebrows furrowing as you pulled it back into your grasp. You were grounding yourself, using his hands as a way to keep your emotions in check. He knew that which is why he left his hand heā€™d previously tried to free.
ā€œSorry darling, I didnā€™t catch that.ā€ Tom said as he placed his chin on your head. You played with his wedding ring on his finger for a moment, twirling it on his finger, it wasnā€™t as mindlessly as you usually did it, before you spoke again, it was still quiet, but Tom didnā€™t miss it. The words echoing around the silent hotel room. Of all the things he expected to be wrong, this was not it.
ā€œWhat? How?ā€ Tom got out, shock taking over his system. He didnā€™t think this was possible, didnā€™t think you could.
ā€œIā€™m sorry.ā€ You said, voice quiet, no tears but Tom would be surprised if you had any left. You placed your head on his chest as you waited for his response. You were nervous, incredibly so and Tom was shocked.
It was your fingers playing with his more harshly as you grew more nervous of his silence that brought him crashing back to Earth. His heart hammering in his chest, excitement bubbling through his system. He felt like heā€™d just been told he was King of the world, felt like every good piece of news had come back to him all at once. This was a miracle.
ā€œSay it again.ā€ Tom said with a smile on his lips, he needed to hear you say it again, just so he knew it was true.
ā€œIā€™m pregnant Tom.ā€ You said and he couldnā€™t help himself as he let a tear fall, his chest filling with a happiness he hadnā€™t felt since youā€™d said, ā€˜I do,ā€™ and he was sure this was even happier than then. Youā€™d done something you were told was impossible. ā€œAre you angry?ā€ You asked, voice small as you grasped a hand around his wedding finger.
ā€œAngry? Princess this is the best news in the world. Weā€™ve been given a chance, one most couples donā€™t.ā€
You looked up at him and studied his face, it was full of nothing but joy and adoration, you smiled sadly as you let the excitement settle in your chest. You didnā€™t have to do this alone, he wanted this. You both did.
ā€œIā€™m scared.ā€ You voiced your concern.
ā€œYouā€™ve got me, and Iā€™ve got you.ā€ He said reassuring as he kissed at your cheeks. ā€œWe can do this. Together, like everything else.ā€ He said again and you let go of his fingers as you hugged him, strong hands finding your back as he pulled you tight against him
**
A month later and Tom had quit the role, the director and his agent understanding, he needed to be here for this, he couldnā€™t and wouldnā€™t miss it. He didnā€™t care if it gave him a bad name, you and your baby came first, always. Luckily everyone understood, well everyone involved in making the film. You still needed to tell your families, your mum and dad had cried at the news, your dad unbelievably so. Your sister was nothing but ecstatic for you, it was not time to tell Tomā€™s family, Harry had been worried after your exchange when he picked you up, but he stopped pushing when Tom reassured him you were okay.
ā€œWhat? I thought?ā€ Harry started as he looked at the couple in shock, of course Tom had told him that you were unable to have children. Heā€™d told all of his family to stop the questions about them cropping up.
ā€œSo did we.ā€ You said with a smile, nothing but excitement was left now, all your fears and concerns leaving your system.
ā€œAre they certain?ā€ Sam asked, he was just as shocked as Harry.
ā€œYeah.ā€ Tom said, youā€™d been to a couple of doctors to confirm the news, the two of you both lived for a solid week thinking you were dreaming and almost needed it confirming as many times as was possible.
ā€œIā€™m so happy for you.ā€ Harry said with a wide smile, engulfing you in a hug, squeezing you tight.
ā€œHave you told mum and dad?ā€ Sam asked, smile matching his twinā€™s.
ā€œNot yet.ā€
ā€œMumā€™s gonna cry.ā€ Harry smiled.
**
ā€œWhat?ā€ Dom asked, like everyone else, nothing but shock evident.
ā€œOh Tom,ā€ his mother said as she hugged him, smile on her face as she cried tears of happiness. ā€œThis is a miracle.ā€ She said and Tom smiled as he hugged his mother back.
ā€œI thought it wasnā€™t possible.ā€ Dom was still in disbelief.
ā€œSo did I.ā€ You said and Dom pulled you into a hug.
ā€œI couldnā€™t be more happy for you.ā€ He said into your ear.
His parents understood this was different for you, Tom had made the choice where youā€™d not had one. As harsh as it sounds Tom could have called it quits in the early stages of your relationship when youā€™d told him. Whereas for you, youā€™d lived your life thinking it didnā€™t matter who you married youā€™d never have the choice and here you were. Nikki was the next to pull you into her chest.
ā€œIā€™m so unbelievably happy for you, you have no idea how happy I am for you right now.ā€ She cried into your shoulder, and you smiled, Tom mouthing a slight ā€˜sorryā€™ over her shoulder before his dad pulled him into a hug.
**
It wasnā€™t until your three month scan that things got incredibly emotional, when the nurse had placed the gel on your stomach to listen for a heartbeat. You all heard two and the only person who didnā€™t catch on was you, you assumed it was your own heartbeat. Tom cried when he heard them, cried so incredibly hard and you assumed it was because heā€™d heard his childā€™s heartbeat for the first time and it was, but it wasnā€™t only that.
ā€œI knew twins ran in the family but Jesus fucking christ.ā€ Tom muttered as he sniffled, and you looked at him confused.
ā€œWhat?ā€
ā€œDarling, thereā€™s two heart beats.ā€ Tom said as he looked at you, how had you not caught on. You looked to the nurse for help.
ā€œMrs Holland, youā€™re having twins.ā€ She smiled and you almost screamed in joy. How had you gotten so lucky? You couldnā€™t help as you pulled your husband into your arms, he let out a slight breath as you pulled him to your chest and cried into his hair.
**
Neither you nor Tom cared the gender of your child, male or female, you were ecstatic. The baby reveal was incredible, it brought tears to everyoneā€™s eyes as they watched the two of you with your little confetti canons.
ā€œOkay, darling. On three?ā€ He asked, nerves kicking in for the both of you. He whispered out the numbers and on three you both set your canons off. Blue confetti showered everything in its path, they were both boys. You heard as Harry and Paddy practically roared in excitement, Sam clapping his older brother on the shoulder with a ā€˜congrats.ā€™
Tom picked you up and cried into your chest, you were both over the moon. You ran your hands through his hair as you kissed the top of his head, youā€™d never seen him as emotional in the last few months, he cried at everything do to do with your pregnancy.
ā€œWeā€™re gonna have nephews!ā€ You heard Paddy scream as he fist bumped Harry, the two had been adamant they were both boys. You smiled at their excitement.
**
The labour was long and hard, you felt like you couldnā€™t carry on through the last four hours. Both boys being born, half an hour apart, you both cried, Tom cutting the umbilical cords with shaky hands.
ā€œIā€™m so proud of you.ā€ Tom said as he kissed your temple, you were sweaty and in your opinion probably looked like shit, not to Tom though. You looked like an absolute angel.
ā€œI never thought Iā€™d have this.ā€ You said in a small and tired voice, a wave of emotions hitting you.
ā€œI know sweetheart.ā€ Tom said, he knew there really was nothing else to say, no ā€˜ifā€™, ā€˜butsā€™ or ā€˜maybes.ā€™ What had happened for the two of you was an absolute miracle, a chance not many were given.
ā€œI love you.ā€ You said as a tear slipped, and Tom was quick to wipe it away as he moved the sweaty mess of hair from your forehead.
ā€œI love you to, more than anything.ā€ He said as he rested his forehead against yours.
ā€œTom, Iā€™m all sweaty.ā€ You groaned as you tried to calm your onslaught of emotions and he laughed.
ā€œHow do you think these guys were made, we had to get a little sweaty then didnā€™t we?ā€ Tom teased and you lifted a tired hand to slap his shoulder. He laughed as he pulled away to hold your hand.
ā€œThank you.ā€ You said as you played with his fingers, particularly the wedding ring that rested on his finger. Although this time, it wasnā€™t out of nerves, you were content, happy, in pure bliss.
ā€œWhat for?ā€ He asked, the gratitude confused him.
ā€œFor staying with me, sticking by me.ā€ You said as you closed your eyes slightly, you were so tired, a long labour having caught up with you.
ā€œI told you when I asked you to marry me, Iā€™m never going anywhere, no matter what. Get some rest darling.ā€ He said but it fell on deaf ears, your breathing evening out as you looked the most content and happy heā€™d ever seen you in his life, sleep consuming you. Your hand didnā€™t leave his, your two healthy boys were currently sleeping next to your bed. As Tom looked around the room at his family that was much bigger than heā€™d anticipated at the start of the year he counted his blessings that whoever was up there had given you a chance.

The Last Night (Lucifer x F!MC)
My first commissionedĀ story yaaaay! Honestly really nervous about posting this. Not only is this my first time writing for Lucifer, but I donā€™t want to disappoint the amazing anon who commissioned this! Hope you enjoy this read!
As always I apologize for any typos! Iā€™ve read this thing over so many times, so I hope its all readable!
Summary: Its her last night in Devildom and the stubborn little human still had a few things she had left to accomplish.Ā 
Series: Obey Me
Word Count: 2701
Warning: NSFW
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ā€œDo you really want to make a pact with me? Truly?ā€
Lucifer had asked her this just moments ago already knowing the self-willed human wanted nothing more than to add him to her growing list of demons she conquered. He was ashamed to admit that he wanted to be on that list.
But, if he was going to do this, he was going to do this on his terms. Lucifer refused to be lumped up with his brothers and seen as just another demon she could control. If she was to take him on, there would be no question as to who owned who. She was going to give herself to him in exchange for the power he possessed. It was a fair trade off.
With the pact made and her time in Devildom coming to an end in just a few hours, that should have been the end of it. She returns to her room and he returns to slaving over paperwork until the next day. Thatā€™s what was supposed to happen and just like with everything else, she pulled something Lucifer didnā€™t expect.
When her lips brushed against his, she made it abundantly clear her intentions were more than just to make a pact with him.
And thatā€™s what led them to his room, their mouths locked in a passionate kiss.
His kisses were patient yet eager for more while hers were sweet and timid but explorative. He could tell she was holding back for reasons that were lost to him.
ā€œWhere did all that spark go?ā€ He whispered, peppering kisses down the base of her neck.
ā€œIā€™veā€¦Iā€™ve neverā€¦ā€ She trailed off, too caught up with the sensation of his lips gently sucking on her skin.
Ah, so thatā€™s what it was.
As usual she jumped headfirst into something not knowing that the repercussions of her actions would lead to this. It was foolish, but he did admire her for her efforts.
Lucifer couldnā€™t tell when last he had done something like this with another. It felt like months or maybe even years had passed by. Asmodeus often joked, whenever he thought Lucifer wasnā€™t within earshot, that Luciferā€™s uptightness had everything to do with his lack of sexual release.
What his lecherous sibling failed to understand was that Lucifer too had urges. These urges he was very good at suppressing, but even he had moments of weakness. While he didnā€™t act on these feelings with another too often, there were nights he spent alone relying on his hands for the release he desperately needed. Those nights became frequent when a certain human entered his home. The number of times he had thought about her in such an indecent manner was honestly shameful.
Lucifer pulled back and hooked a gloved finger under her chin not giving her the chance to look away. He grazed her bottom lip with his thumb.
ā€œYou shouldnā€™t tempt fate like this if youā€™re not going to give it your all.ā€
This was his way of giving her an out. She had the chance to backdown, walk out of his room and they never speak of this again. Lucifer wouldnā€™t blame her if she did just that, but he knew all too well that she was too stubborn for her own good.
She looked at him hesitantly for a moment before taking his lingering thumb into her mouth. Taking a bit of the fabric from his glove between her teeth, she pulled back taking the glove with her with little to no resistance from Lucifer. With his bare hand revealed she dropped the glove from her mouth and looked back at him with eyes filled with a purity that did not match the current mood.
How could she look at him so innocently? There was something within Lucifer that made him want to take that innocence away. He wanted to twist it and turn into something only he knew how to control, but he couldnā€™t. She wasnā€™t ready for that.
ā€œTempting fate got me this far, so I really canā€™t complain.ā€ She replied with a small smile that had a hint of devilry behind it.
He chuckled at her words. There wasnā€™t an ounce of fear in her retort as if the Avatar of Pride wasnā€™t seconds away from bending her to his will. She really was a peculiar human.
ā€œYou fail to understand what youā€™ve gotten yourself into.ā€
ā€œThatā€™s kind of my thing, is it not?ā€ So, she was aware of her annoyingly intrusive behavior. Nonetheless, that was the permission he needed.
Removing his other glove and loosening his tie, Lucifer leaned in to capture her lips again. She moaned into the kiss as she instinctively enfolded her arms around his neck. He hoisted her up by her waist forcing her to wrap her legs around him as he carried her over to the bed.
He laid her onto the mattress the satin sheets dipping and wrinkling under her body, lips still on hers.
Lucifer pulled away to remove the clothes that confined his torso, revealing his toned body. She absentmindedly reached out to lightly trace the outline of his abs completely entranced by the up-close view of his body. While Lucifer was not on the same level of Beelzebub with his physique, he did pride himself on his appearance.
He grasped the hem of her blouse, breaking her from her trance. Pulling it over her head revealed an intricately laced black and red bra. It was an interesting choice in color that made Lucifer wonder if this too was a part of her plan.
It was a shame he had to rid her of the beautiful garment, but he had his sights on something far more enticing.
With the bra discarded and her breasts on full display, Lucifer was in awe at the sight before him. Her flushed breasts and fully erect nipples lying in wait to be caressed and teased.
It didnā€™t take long for the nervousness to reach her and she quickly covered herself. Lucifer suppressed the urge to chuckle. It was cute to think she was embarrassed when he found her so beautiful.
ā€œDonā€™t hide yourself from me.ā€ His voice was soft as he gently took her wrists, pulling her arms away from her chest. Lucifer glanced over her body once more then cupped one of her breasts giving it a firm squeeze.
ā€œSomething so perfect deserves to be seen.ā€ He kissed her.
ā€œTo be touched.ā€ Another kiss came.
ā€œTo be defiled by meā€¦ā€ He felt her shiver at that last part. Was there something within her that grew giddy at the thought of him having her in the most sinful of ways? What exactly was she imagining?
His lips moved from hers, down to where her neck and shoulder met, then came the lightly dusted kisses as he continued to make his way down.
He felt her chest rise and fall in a labored motion that matched her anticipating breath as he reached her breasts.
Without hesitating, Lucifer took a breast into his mouth, lightly sucking on the tender nipple, earning him a small gasp from her in response. He felt her hands run through his hair as he moved from one breast to the other, leaving bite marks in his wake. Every so often her caresses stop at the feel of his teeth teasingly graze her sensitive flesh.
His hand trailed down her body, fingers slipping past the waistband of her shorts and panties. Almost instantly, his fingers were coated with her juices. He had barely touched her and yet she was already this wet?
She pressed her legs together, trapping him between legs. Lucifer looked up from his place between her breasts in annoyance.
ā€œWhat did I tell you about hiding?ā€
ā€œI know, bu-ā€
Her words were cut short once she felt the pads of his finger brushing against her clit.
ā€œTell me you donā€™t want this, and I will go no further.ā€ Again, he was giving her a chance to end this.
She said nothing, the expression on her face contemplative. A few seconds passed before she had made a choice. Leaning up she clutched the sides of her shorts and underwear attempting to pull them down. Lucifer helped tossing her clothes to the floor. Now, she was completely bare before him with her legs parted slightly.
Beautiful failed to describe the sight in front of Lucifer. He had the perfect view of the wetness between her legs which was nice, but he personally loved being able to see her body in a way that no one else had seen. While the room itself was dimly lit, Lucifer relished in the fact that every dip and curve of her body was on full display for him to marvel at.
She shifted awkwardly under his burning gaze.
ā€œStop staring so muchā€¦ā€
ā€œHow can one enjoy art without appreciating every visual detail?ā€ She opened her mouth with a remark at the ready but stopped at the sudden intrusion of his finger that slipped between her folds.
Slowly and carefully his fingers danced along her most sensitive area. Her back arched, hips steadily moving against his hand. She was like a piano, reacting to the slightest touch and emitting music that only he had the pleasure of producing.
Just how far could he push his beautiful instrument?
He moved up pressing his lips to her ear.
ā€œTell meā€¦ā€ He whispered in a husky tone.
ā€œDo you think of me when you touch yourself?ā€ There was a chance that unlike Lucifer she never laid in bed with impure thoughts that left her body wanting to be touched in ways that go beyond simple brushes against skin, but Lucifer refused to believe that. Humans werenā€™t immune to desires. Those desires were why she was in his bed, after all.
ā€œN-nā€¦ā€ Lucifer could hear the denial coming and his hand stilled inside of her. She whined trying to move her hips to fuck herself against his finger. A cute attempt, but he wasnā€™t going to give her what she wanted until he got his answer. He removed his hand completely from between her legs.
ā€œAnswer. If you lie, youā€™ll be punished.ā€ It was in her best interest to respond to his inquiry. She knew all too well that there was no bluffing when it came to Lucifer giving punishments.
ā€œYesā€¦ā€ She breathed out.
Satisfied with her answer, Lucifer continued this time adding a second finger. He deemed it a reward for her honesty, but it was pure torture for her.
ā€œWhen was the last time?ā€ He asked, gently rubbing his thumb against her clit. She looked as if formulating a coherent sentence was next to impossible, but he was going to get an answer one way or another.
His movements slowed.
ā€œIā€™m waiting.ā€
ā€œT-this morningā€¦ā€ Fuck. Lucifer felt the painful reminder of need within his pants growing stronger.
Where was she? In bed? In the shower? Was it right before breakfast? The reason for the awkward glances she shot him at the breakfast table was starting to make sense.
While distracted Lucifer failed to notice that the cheeky little humanā€™s deft hands were reaching for what laid just under pants. She cupped him feeling just how hard he was causing the unsuspecting demon to wince at the contact. He moved away partly sad at the sudden loss of contact, but determined to do things his way.
ā€œNot like this.ā€ Was all he said before sitting upright to remove his last bit of clothing. In no time at all, his cock sprang from its confines of his removed trousers. She looked at his erection in awe probably wondering where it had been hiding this whole time. Lucifer felt a sense of pride as she looked him over completely speechless.
The curious woman made a motion to reach for his throbbing member, wanting to feel the warmth of his shaft pulsating in her hands. Lucifer grabbed her hand, pinning it over her head.
ā€œI didnā€™t say you could touch, but I suppose I could let it slide just this once. However, weā€™re doing this my way. Do you understand?ā€ She could only nod not wanting to battle him. Lucifer smiled inwardly. She was a good little human when she wanted to be, but that wasnā€™t why Lucifer took interest in her.
Resting between her legs, he rubbed himself against her entrance, coating his member with her juices. He had to remember to take it easy with her. Not only was this her first time, but humans were fragile creatures. There was no telling how much her body could take if he went overboard.
ā€œAll I need you to do is breathe.ā€ That was the only advice he could give her. In truth, Lucifer had never been with a virgin before, but he did know they required gentleness and care.
He moved forward, slowly sheathing himself inside of her.
Lucifer watched as her eyes closed, and eyebrows knitted together at the feel of his girth stretching her walls. He could tell she was in pain, but the way her face contorted showed a hint of gratification.
Lucifer, too, had to take a moment to get his bearings. Not even all the way in and she felt so tight around him, squeezing his shaft to the point where he felt like he was ready for release in that moment. Had it really been that long since he had felt the touch of another so intimately?
Lucifer had no time to question it further for the woman under him started moving her hips to feel the rest of him. She must have gotten used to his size or she wouldnā€™t have been so brazen.
He was going to have to teach her a lesson.
Lucifer grabbed her hips forcing her to stop. He pulled himself back, with just the head of his dick still buried within her.
ā€œHave you not learned that such impatience will get you into trouble?ā€
He wasnā€™t going to wait for a response. He thrusted roughly into her, filling her pussy with his cock. So much for taking it easyā€¦.
The woman cried out her back arching, head falling back against the pillow and a pleasurable pain rippling through her body. He wanted to hear her make that sound again. He wanted to hear it over and over until her voice grew hoarse and her body was spent.
Lucifer couldnā€™t help but groan as she involuntarily squeezed him in response to his torturous efforts. He didnā€™t mind feeling the repercussions of his actions, though, especially if it meant that he could make her crumble beneath him.
He was more than prepared to go down with her in this heated battle between their bodies.
--------------------
ā€œDo I really have to go?ā€ She asked quietly as she laid against her loverā€™s chest.
Lucifer tried not to think about her departure that was fast approaching. He didnā€™t like remembering that in just a few short hours she would leave his side. Lucifer had forgotten what life was like before she entered his life and as much as he tried to deny it, the very thought of her no longer being in his presence did weigh on him.
ā€œWith the exchange program finished, it only makes sense for you to return homeā€¦ No matter how unfortunate that is.ā€ He was surprised by the disappointed that emitted from his voice.
She looked over at him with a knowing grin.
ā€œIs that your way of saying youā€™ll miss me?ā€ He could practically feel the smugness radiating off her as she playfully nudged him.
ā€œPerhapsā€¦ā€ She snickered at his admission and nudged him again.
She was too comfortable with being in the company of demons or she wouldnā€™t be as mischievous as she was now. Maybe they were rubbing off on her and she needed a small reminder that tangling with him could very well be her downfall.
Lucifer rolled over, pinning her to the bed with an annoyed look etched onto his face. He pressed himself against her, his hardened cock lay present on her stomach.
ā€œSince you have so much energy then we should put it to better use?ā€

OHSHC: Mitsukuni (Honey) x Fem!Reader Fluff
A/N: Okay so this was something I wrote WAY back in 2013 when I was obsessed with Ouran Highschool Host Club. So I did make a bunch of revisions (like fixing typos and changing up some of the events that occur).
But if you wanna read the original check it out on my DeviantArt!
Welp, hope ya'll enjoy this!
Tumblr media
It was a lovely Friday afternoon. School was out and most students were eager to go home.Ā 
But you, on the other hand, decided to visit the Host Club for a few hours. You always looked forward going to it everyday after school, though not just because you desperately wanted to be swooned by handsome men.
You just liked to observe the hosts indulging in their element, be it Tamakiā€™s flamboyant acts or the Hitachiin twinsā€™ performances. All the while, you drank tea and ate delicious pastries whilst chatting with other ladies who babbled about their crushes.
Most had their eyes on Tamaki, for obvious reasons, but for you there was a different host that stole your heart every time, without fail:
Mitsukuni, or ā€œHoneyā€ as everyone liked to call him.Ā 
You did have a slight crush on him, considering you both shared classes and hung-out quite often on the weekends. But even after all the years youā€™ve known him, you never actuallyĀ acted on this crush, not wanting to take away his duties as a host.
Besides he might treat you extraĀ ā€œsweetlyā€, but you assumed he was like this with all the other girls.
Unbeknownst to you, however, Honey didn't see you the same way as he saw them.Ā To him you weren't just another visitor to entertain.
He saw you as something, well, more.
........
'Okay this wasn't...what I expected. But I guess I'll have to stay for a little while longer..'Ā You sighed as you looked down at the blonde who was now laying on your lap.
Honey must've had a sugar crash, since he fell asleep on the same sofa you so-happened to be on, even though the club meeting had ended fifteen minutes ago.
'Poor guy must be tired, running around and entertaining..he deserves at least this.' Relaxing back against the sofa,Ā you gently stroked his hair with one hand, and kept Usa-chan wrapped around your free arm. You were sure he wouldn't mind it, given that he's let you hold it before.
All the while, you hummed a gentle song, taking note of the tiny smile that adorned his sleeping face. You knew very well that you shouldn't move, but you didn't mind it.Ā 
Being able to get this close to him made it worthwhile.
Haruhi, Mori, and Kyoya would glance over every so often while they were cleaning up, smiling at the scene. Meanwhile, Tamaki and the twinsĀ were hiding behind a nearby couch, looking at you with comically-wide eyes. They wondered how you've managed to not wake up Honey at all, and how you were so calm.
You looked over and gave them a bemused smile, waving politely. Honestly you didn't know what their deal was. They were staring at you like you were about to invoke the wrath of god.
Or in this case the wrath of the loli-shota.
"H-How does [y/n] do that?" The frenchman stammered as he gazed at the twins.
""It must be Nekozawa's sleeping magic. Maybe she's in cahoots with him."" The brothers replied, trembling too.
"You guys are acting insane." Haruhi sighed as she walked past the three with a porcelain tray in her hands. "Sheā€™s known Honey-senpai for years, so..it's obvious they're close. Doesnā€™t take a genius to know why sheā€™s not afraid of him.ā€
"But why does she keep choosing him every time she visits?!! A-Am I somehow unworthy?!!" Tamaki cried out, already tearing up. "It makes no sense!! Mommy!! What do you make of this?!!" He swung his head to the already-annoyed Kyoya.
"Tamaki..our job here at the club is to make every girl happy, right? That includes Miss [L/n]-"
"B-But-But..she could at least give me a cha--!!"
"If you'll let me finish..." The black-haired male huffed. "Like every girl here, she has the right to choose whichever host she desires. You don't get to make that decision for her. So I suggest you keep it down, lest you wake up Honey-senpai." Fixing his glasses, he turned back to his laptop, ending the conversation.
Tamaki pouted in defeat and got up from his hiding spot. The twins followed him to where you sat and crouched down, now more curious than fearful.
"Gentlemen." You sighed quietly, waiting for them to get to the point so they could leave you alone.
"How are you able to keep so calm??" Hikaru hissed.
"We told you how he acts when his nap is disturbed.ā€ Kaoru added.Ā ā€œYouā€™re taking a big risk-ā€
ā€œYouā€™re overreacting a bit.ā€Ā Finding it hard not to chuckle at their bewildered expressions, you kept your gaze on Honey instead. "I see no reason to be terrified of him waking up from a nap. People get cranky after naps all the time. But they eventually get over it, don't they?"
Then you glanced back up at the three, smiling reassuringly. "I do believe that little ā€œhorror storyā€ you told me. But don't worry, if anything happens I'll protect you guys, okay? Nothing bad will happen to anyone here...especially not Honey.ā€ You patted the sleeping blondeā€™s head.
The twins were relieved--moved, even--by your response, but Tamaki on the other hand seemed a bit freaked out by your promise to protect them. He tried grabbing your shoulders to yell about howĀ ā€œguys should protect girls, not the other way aroundā€, though the duo managed to restrain him.
"B-Boss!! Cut it out!"
"You're gonna wake him!!!"
Unfortunately, the commotion they were making was exactly what stirred Honey from his rest. The three hosts immediately retreated back to their hiding place, expecting their fellow club member to awaken in rage.
But all he did was open his eyes and rub them tiredly.Ā 
"Morning, Hon." You chuckled, ruffling his hair lightly.
As he realized you were still in the same spot as before, he smiled up at you. "Did I really sleep all night, [y/n]-chan?"
"No, only for a little while." You allowed him to sit up, and you handed him Usa-chan. "Have any good dreams?"
"Hmm..yeah, I did." Honey took his rabbit plushie, legs swinging as he tried to recall the details. "I..we were at a fair with lots of cake and ice cream! Then I...o-on the ferris wheel I might've..." He hugged the rabbit closer, to the point of hiding his blushing face.
You tilted your head in curiosity. "Might've what?"
"A-Asked you out and..and k-kissed you."
His response stunned you, and you could feel your heart skip several beats. In truth you've had similar dreams, although you never did get to the kissing part--instead you'd wake up with disappointment, never knowing if he accepted your confession.
"You know I dreamed of that, too. But..I never knew what your answer would be." You sighed despondently. "No matter how much I try to fall back asleep..I can't finish that dream. It's a shame.."
He shyly looked up at you, and he set down Usa-chan before taking your hands into his own. You gazed at him with surprise, wondering what he was going to do. "Honey? What-?"
His face inched closer to yours, and before you knew it, he kissed you perfectly on the lips.
Yep! Right here and right now he was kissing you!
The kiss tasted sweet, much like his personality and all those desserts he's had throughout the day. And you were in shock that this was really happening, but you smiled into the kiss, wanting to return it before he got the wrong idea.
When you both broke apart, Honey's eyes were large and tearful. But they were happy tears. "Y-You really do like me? But..I-I thought...I was too-"
"Honey, there's nothing about you that I don't love." You chuckled. "You're a good-hearted, smart, strong, and kind man. And that's all I could ever ask for. We've been great friends for a while and...the fact we share the same dreams must mean something."
"Something like...u-us being a couple, right?"
"Exactly, and right now..I wanna make those dreams a reality. Will you help me make them so?"
He was so overjoyed that he embraced you tightly, nearly crushing your spine. But you hugged him back, resting your chin on top of his head. You could feel his vigorous nod and knew that this is what he wanted for so long.
Of course he was probably still worried about his position as a host, so you looked to the others in question. "A-Ah..I meant to ask-"
"I see no issue with this," Kyoka smiled lightly. "I trust that this newly-blossoming relationship will not interfere with club activities."
""We knew you two were gonna get together eventually."" The twins spoke in unison once more, although they were just glad that Honey didn't snap at anyone this time.
Haruhi and Mori only flashed smiles at you two, the latter happy about his cousin finally confessing to the one he loved. Heā€™s known about it longer than anyone at the club.
Once you let go of Honey, he jumped up and grabbed your hands, pulling you to your feet. "Takashi!! Can [y/n] come over for the weekend??"
"Sure, why not?" The tall male nodded.
"Yaaaay--huh? Tama-chan?" Honey blinked as he noticed the only one who didn't react positively was the club leader himself, who was sulking in the corner. "Aren't you gonna say anything?"
"Yes..I'd say we're all done here," he sighed in an exasperated tone. "If [y/n]'s happiness lies with Honey-senpai then...that's how it is, I guess. The host club is dismissed. Youā€™re all free to leave now."
Of course, that wasn't the kind of send-off anyone expected. But the other hosts left, figuring Tamaki would eventually get over it. Though you told Honey to wait outside for a moment, not wanting to end this day on a sour note.
You reentered the now empty music room, seeing the princely-type staring out the window solemnly. Part of you felt guilty for not spending more time with him, even though he was often a nuisance trying to steal your attention.
"Hey, Tamaki-senpai..I have a feeling I somehow offended you by choosing Honey over you. And I'm sorry-"
"Nonsense." He glanced back at you, the brightness returning to his violet eyes. "I'm so obsessed with trying to charm every lady that it turned me into a blind fool. Until now I never realized that, in the end, it's what makes you happy, not me. I won't get in the way of your relationship with Honey-senpai. Cross my heart."
He made a gesture to seal that promise, smiling softly. "I mean it. I'm very happy for you two and I wish you all the best."
Knowing that he wasn't angry or upset anymore, you smiled and rewarded the "king" with a peck on the cheek. He gasped lightly and stared at you, touching the spot where you kissed him.
"Thank you. It's because of you and this club that I got to know Honey even more so...I owe you at least this. Have a good weekend." You winked before you turned on your heel and ran after your new boyfriend, leaving an incredibly flustered Tamaki alone in the room.
'Ahaha..her heart may belong to another, but she took the time to repair mine.ā€™

ā™”
ā˜†
ā™”
it was no secret to anyone around him that taehyung, as sweet as he was, gave absolutely no fucks about his eating habits. that was one thing he would tell you straight off the bat, and he was completely shameless about them too. if it was yummy, it was yummy. and if it was yummy, he was going to eat it. life was short, and wasn't the point of life to enjoy yourself and be happy?
that's what taehyung believed, anyway.
taehyung wasn't shy by nature; a social butterfly, if you will. he loved making new friends, chatting, and bringing people out of their shell. he was naturally charismatic and funny, and with the added-luxury of movie star looks, a deep and sultry voice, and a great physique, he always had a group of buddies around him. that's just how he was. he loved making people smile and laugh, enjoying the warmth and love that radiated off of those close to him. so, as it seemed, taehyung's life was a blissful stream of joy. he didn't have a care in the world, especially about his food.
that was until he graduated highschool and went off to college. you see, taehyung was quite athletic in highschool. participating in track and field and being in dance with his best friend, jimin, gave him plenty of, if not excessive exercise to burn off all those calories he consumed throughout the day. perhaps he was able to get away with his atrocious eating habits back then. however, there was a teeny problem. now, taehyung wasn't pursuing athletics or dance in college-- he was majoring in fine arts. that meant he wasn't getting the amount of exercise his body was used to. turns out, he didn't have as fast of a metabolism like he'd falsely believed, he just did a lot of cardio. so, factoring together the absence of any exercise (minus walks to classes and to the fridge), no changes in his diet, and the constant late-night junk food binges, things quickly started to add up.
literally.
it started with his cheeks. taehyung had been thin, bordering underweight, most of his life, so of course the little bit of newfound plumpness to his face would be noticable. yet, despite his soulmate's comments over 2 am facetimes saying "jesus, taetae, you look so young! drop the skin care routine, bestie," taehyung didn't see the changes. his cheeks poofed out and softened like freshly baked bread, and they always seemed to be puffy, like he'd just woken up. well, he had been taking a lot of naps lately, maybe that's why? he didn't really care, anyways.
the next noticable change was his hips, thighs, and ass. not only was taehyung blessed with a face sculpted by the gods, he also had a body to die for. if there's any higher power, they CLEARLY pick favourites. with a slim, trim waist and a naturally curvy figure, the weight gain only accentuated his hourglass shape. his hips widened generously, thighs thickened like heavy cream, and ass plumped out lusciously, filling up any seat he sat on to the brim and earning him more whistles and lustful stares then he was already receiving. yet, despite the constant catcalling from other students on campus, and the snugness of his pants, taehyung remained oblivious to his altered form.
the final shift in taehyung's appearance settled itself softly on his midsection. although he'd never had chiseled, drool-worthy abs like his new friend jungkook, who practically lived at the campus fitness center, his stomach had always been completely flat. now, it had softened entirely; he had a bit of a tummy. it wasn't very noticeable, at first, due to his knack for wearing baggy clothes, but it began to show over time. it was chubby and pudgy, and spilled over the waistband of his pants when he sat down. his belly was fluffy like the stuffing of a teddy bear, the surface doughy, as if you could sink your hand into it and leave behind a handprint. it was even more noticeable after he'd eaten. taehyung always bloated terribly. whether he'd had a bellyache, gas, or had just eaten something rather filling, his tummy always swelled up and pushed over his pantline and into his shirt. as well, love handles began to form, curling around his middle and warmly hugging his sides.
he was by no means overweight, but he wasn't exactly skinny anymore. he was softer, warmer around the edges. it suited him.
strangely enough, taehyung hadn't really noticed. besides a passing comment from a loved one, or a short-lived "hmm, that's new," in front of the bathroom mirror before dashing off to an already-late-to lecture, taehyung was pretty ignorant.
but how long can you ignore such a growing issue?
ā™”
ā˜†
ā™”
leaning back and gazing up at the tile ceiling, taehyung sighed. he was currently in his friend jungkook's tiny dorm, sitting on his bed and waiting for his roommate, hoseok, to return with pizza. he really hoped he'd hurry up already. his belly was growling like it was angry with him. it was getting kinda scary.
"i really don't know, jungkook-ah, he's just... ugh." he mopplingly prompted his chubby cheeks in his hands and huffed.
"what do you mean you don't know, hyung?" jungkook asked crossing his beefy arms and shooting his friend a skeptical look. "you're like... the hottest and most outgoing guy i know. how haven't you scored a date with him yet?"
the "him" in question was taehyung's new roommate, seokjin. well, he wasn't exactly new. he'd been his roommate for over 5 months now, since his last roommate dropped out. yet, honestly, taehyung didn't think he'd ever get used to seeing that worldwide-handsome face in the same vicinity as him everyday. that would always be a shocker, no matter how many times they saw one another.
having a crush was new for taehyung. to put it bluntly, he knew he was good-looking. he definitely wasn't conceited or snobbish about his natural attractiveness, he honestly didn't care about looks. however, he was used to having a secret admirer or two, and unfortunately had to let many people down with his unrequited feelings. he never had any romantic attraction for anyone, even if he knew he was bisexual. in fact, romance really didn't play a role in his life. taehyung liked to paint, watch cartoons, eat snacks and play videogames. he chose friends and food over chasing after boys and girls. he hadn't even watched porn before, that's how uninterested in sex and relationships he was. call him immature or weird, but romance just didn't do much for him. it seemed boring. why would people waste there time on a silly boyfriend or girlfriend when they could be having fun? it just didn't make sense to him.
that was until he met his roommate. now, that was all he could think about. well, besides school and food, that is.
"that's rich coming from you, mr. i have muscles and a six-pack and tattoos and a fucking eyebrow piercing but i'm still too shy to even talk to jisoo." taehyung shot back with a smirk.
at that, jungkook flushed completely. it was true, despite being a 5 course meal plus desert, jungkook was the shyest person taehyung had ever met. he didn't have many friends besides taehyung, his roommate, hoseok, and hoseok's boyfriend. and the latter was just a friend of circumstances. the younger man also couldn't even look a girl in the eyes without blushing profusely and damn near pissing himself from nervousness. jungkook had a slight lisp and an occasional stutter as well, but taehyung found it quite endearing and sweet.
"t-that's not the point, hyung, and you know it!" jungkook replied hastily, still blushing. "why don't you just tell him how you feel? you've been pining after this dude for months!"
taehyung sighed heavily, the sigh morphing into a deep groan.
"because i literally don't know how! jin-hyung isn't going to take my confession seriously if i just say it! he's already rejected half the campus! he needs a gesture! some bold statement," taehyung explained in an exasperated manner, not caring if he was kinda rambling. "he deserves more than some half-hearted bullshit. i have to find a way to catch his attention, something to show him i'm different than the others. that i'm not just another idiot underclassmen trying to win him over! i just don't know what-!"
taehyung took a deep breath, ending his rant. he was beginning to feel upset, having a tendency to work himself up easily. he took a moment to collect himself, or at least try, and looked at the younger expectantly.
"don't look at me like that, hyung." he said after a moment, watching warily as taehyung took deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. "you know what you gotta do, so do it." he shrugged, still observing his friend. "leth' talk about something else, okay?" jungkook suggested, not wanting his hyung to get anymore upset.
before taehyung could protest, there was a knock at the door.
"that must be hobi-hyung." jungkook spoke, getting up to let his dormmate in. taehyung stayed seated.
as the elder entered the room, the heavenly aroma of pizza followed, wafting around the dorm and into taehyung's nose. his mouth watered. pizza was the perfect comfort food. it always made him feel sated and happy. he could never get tired of it.
"hey tae-ah, i didn't know you would be here!" hoseok beamed, as he brought the pizza boxes over and placed them on the table. "how are you?"
"stressed and hungry."
hobi laughed loudly, his sunshine-like smile lighting up the room. taehyung always liked him. he was sweet, funny, and very handsome. he had a slim build, was a hip-hop dancer, and taehyung had seen his abs before. he'd be jealous if he cared about looks.
"aren't we all?" he joked, before he turned around and looked back at the still open door. "aish, yoongi-hyung, get your ass in here already!"
a low, "i'm coming, fuck off," emitted from beyond the threshold, before hoseok's boyfriend entered the room with a goofy grin and cases of beer and soda in his arms.
looking up at him, taehyung was taken aback.
the last time he'd seen yoongi, at least long enough to get a decent look at him, he'd been skinny. not just skinny, but nearly malnourished looking. his face had been gaunt and he was tiny in comparison to a healthy body. a good wind could have knocked him over. that was months ago. the yoongi he saw now looked quite different. he was filled out, his cheeks plumped and colored as apposed to pale and lifeless like before. his midsection as well, was that a belly? small, yes, but it was there. he looked so much... different. he wondered why.
taehyung had heard about relationship weight many times, and had seen it first-hand as well. when someone gets into a safe and loving relationship, they naturally gain weight. hoseok had opened up to jungkook and taehyung a few times, admitting that yoongi had been in an abusive relationship in the past. however, he was in a healthy one with hoseok now. honestly, it warmed taehyung's heart to see the once frail and sad-looking boy happy and healthy-looking.
it made him wonder if he would ever find a relationship like that. would he put on weight as well? probably not. his metabolism was way too fast, anyways.
"i brought some beer, jungkook don't drink it all this time." yoongi grunted, setting the packs by the desk and plopping down next to his boyfriend on his bed. "oh, taehyung's here. good thing we bought too much pizza."
the others chuckled. taehyung cocked a brow and frowned slightly. what was that supposed to mean?
"i'm starving." jungkook stated to no one in particular, grabbing himself a slice of pizza and a can of beer. taehyung wouldn't be having any alcohol, though, because it always made his cholinergic urticaria act up, and he wasn't in the mood for an itchy rash. besides, he liked soda much more.
"i thought you were on a diet, kookie-ah!" hoseok fake scolded. jungkook scoffed playfully.
"it's called bulking, hyung." he joked. everyone knew he rarely let himself eat like this. he was extremely disciplined. taehyung might've been jealous. "and what about you? thought you were on a diet!"
"i am." the elder replied. "this is all i'm eating. i've still got that dance competition next week- yah! yoongi, don't get sauce on my sheets, you pig!"
he swatted weakly at the mint-haired boy, who nudged him in return and rolled his eyes. it made taehyung smile.
"you can have some too, taehyung-ah." hoseok spoke after a bit. it was then taehyung realized he hadn't gotten any yet. "i know how much you like pizza."
once again, another comment.
"i mean, i don't like it that much." he mumbled, grabbing a slice and and taking a bite. he knew he was bluffing. pizza was the best.
jungkook snorted.
"bullshit tae, you almost always eat an entire pizza whenever we hang out!"
it was true. on an empty stomach, he could scarf down a whole pizza. more if he was especially hungry.
he decided not to reply, finishing his first slide and heading for a second. sinking his teeth into the slice, he all but moaned. it was supreme pizza, his favorite.
"honestly, i have no idea where he puts it all." the redhead commented, finishing up his slice. that was all he'd probably eat, seeing as he's on a diet and all.
"i-i do!" jungkook teased, stuttering slightly from the excitement. "he puth' it all right here."
suddenly, taehyung felt a finger poke his belly. he froze. he looked down to see jungkook's tattooed pointer finger sunk into his plush middle.
"wow, taehyung-hyung." the younger softly exclaimed. "i didn't know your tummy was this squishy."
taehyung felt himself blushing. not out of embarrassment, but something else. jungkook was still touching his belly.
"no way, let me feel!" hoseok reached over, but all too late. taehyung swatted them away and curled into himself, arms wrapped firmly around his middle.
"don't! i'm ticklish!" he lied. yes, he was ticklish, but that's not why he didn't want them to feel his stomach.
it was a strange sensation, really...
ā™”
ā˜†
ā™”
a pizza and a 2L of soda later, taehyung felt warm and fuzzy and full.
hoseok and yoongi had left for yoongi's dorm. taehyung was assuming they wanted some alone time, and he knew yoongi had his own private dorm. he didn't want to think about what they'd do, though. ew, just... ew.
taehyung leaned back and closed his eyes, feeling sated. he gently patted his taut tummy and let out a deep burp, sighing afterwards. that was another thing he was shameless about. if he had to burp, he always just let it out. leaving the trapped gas in his belly only made it hurt, so he didn't hold back. besides, it felt good and it was only natural. he usually didn't even say "excuse me." he didn't understand why he had to. everyone burped; why excuse yourself for something completely normal? unlike jungkook, who'd probably die from humiliation, taehyung wasn't shy about it. the only person he'd be even remotely embarrassed in front of was seokjin, but that's a different story.
"mmm, that was yummy, kookie. i'm stuffed."
jungkook was drinking another beer, beyond drunk by now. he mumbled something incoherent, followed by a hiccup and a groan.
"aw kookie, are you drunk?" taehyung teased, ruffling the maknae's soft, black hair. the younger grumbled again. "tired, little guy? let's get you to sleep, bun."
gently, taehyung guided the nearly-passed-out jungkook's head to the pillow of his bed.
"sleep well, bun." he whispered sweetly, leaving a feather-light kiss on the younger's forehead. he'd probably have to stop by tomorrow morning to take care of him when he woke up with a hangover. he was bound to have a killer one with all the beer he guzzled down, and taehyung knew hoseok didn't do well with vomit. he didn't mind, however. taehyung loved to take care of his friends, anyways.
before he left, taehyung cleaned up, ate the last couple pieces the boys left, and did some of the dishes for them. he also really needed to pee, so he made a quick trip to the bathroom.
once he'd gone and washed his hands, he took a moment to observe himself in the mirror.
i looked really good today, taehyung thought, peering into the mirror and adjusting his gold-framed glasses. despite being quite handsome, he still felt insecure sometimes, especially as of lately. with some of the comments his friends had been making, he wasn't sure what to think. it was almost as if there was some kind of big joke, and he was the only one who wasn't in on it. he really didn't know.
before taehyung could turn away and exit the small bathroom, his eyes caught something in the corner, by the shower.
a scale.
he had forgotten that jungkook did weight training. it was probably his to keep track of that. or maybe it was hoseok's, since he was on a diet and all. it didn't matter. it shouldn't matter.
however, for some reason, he wanted to try it. knowing your weight couldn't hurt, right? it's just a number, anyways. besides, he was curious.
taehyung pulled the digital scale out and stepped on it, waiting patiently for the box to calculate his weight. it couldn't be too much. he was thin, after all.
looking down, his eyes widened.
78.1kg.
he blinked.
huh. so that's how much he weighed.
the last time taehyung had been properly weighed was his physical exam before freshman year. that was nearly a year ago. he was so thin, weighing in at 60.3 kg. since then, he'd gained roughly 17.8 kg.
wait a minute, that couldn't be right, could it? but he had a fast metabolism! not to mention, he's fairly active. well... sometimes. but he does do a lot of walking! something had to be wrong.
taehyung stepped off the scale, allowing it to level back to a clear screen. he then stepped back on.
78.1kg.
this didn't seem possible. maybe it's because of his clothes. maybe he needed to strip down to his underwear like when he had a checkup at the doctor's. quickly, taehyung peeled off his corduroy pants and baggy sweater, leaving him in his undies and tata-themed socks.
what? they were cute!
standing back on the digital scale, taehyung peered down at the number expectantly.
it was the same, the clothes only weighing a little.
maybe it was all the food he just ate, or maybe he had to use the toilet? but that doesn't explain all those kilos...
he placed himself back on the ground, dumbfounded. how did he manage to put on that much? that was like the freshman 15 (lbs) tripled!
taehyung sighed lowly, before turning to face the mirror.
in just his undies, and for the first time since freshman year, taehyung noticed his body.
his thighs were thick, clinging together like chunky glue. gentle stretch marks adorned the insides, which weren't new, seeing as he's always been a bit thicker than his peers growing up. however, they were more prominent. spinning around, he viewed his ass, which giggled almost lewdly with the slight movement. the plump, golden globes looked even plumper than they had. he had always had an ass, but now? he could probably play a pixar mom in a live-action film.
last, but certainly not least, his eyes settled on the most obvious change: his stomach. his tummy hung over the waistband of his underwear, extremely bloated and round from his big dinner and all the soda he drank. yet, despite being stuffed with pizza, it had softness to it. taehyung ran his hands over his belly, pinching the excess pudge. it wasn't too big, but it was noticable. more than noticable.
taehyung wasn't skinny anymore. he had gotten a bit chubby.
and, strangely enough, he didn't care. infact, he liked it.
taehyung knew he ate a lot of unhealthy foods, that was just who he was. why would he deny himself all the yummy things he liked to eat, just to maintain an "attractive" body? so what he wasn't slim like hoseok or muscular and shredded like jungkook? his body was perfectly fine. it did it's job, and that was the important thing.
above all things, taehyung was shameless. having gained weight didn't mean a thing to him. he was an artist, after all, not a model. his figure really didn't matter in the long run. he was still the same handsome guy, just with a little extra chub. and, honestly, he wondered what he'd look like with just a little bit more. just another layer of cream on his body. he's sure he'd like it, especially with how he reacted to having his tummy poked earlier by jungkook.
so, with the new information tucked in the back of his mind, taehyung dressed and left the small bathroom, making his way out of his sleeping friend's dorm. after double checking on jungkook and leaving the wastebasket beside his bed, just in case he woke up sick, the fluffy-haired boy exited the dorm and began his walk down the hallway, back to his own dorm.
after eating, taehyung usually felt sleepy, so it was no surprise to him that he found himself growing sluggish and drowsy as he strode back to his room. it was a pleasant feeling, really. he'd probably take a nice nap when he got back. maybe make some hot chocolate and catch up on some dramas. yeah, that sounded nice.
as he opened the door to his dorm, he was met with a flush of warmth and soft light. faint music played in the background, and a scent immediately met his nose as he stepped in. it smelled delightful. that could only mean one thing.
taehyung hadn't expected seokjin to be home so early. he wished he'd known; he'd like to have put more time into his appearance. welp, baggy sweater and messy-haired taehyung would have to do.
"ah, tae! you're home!" he heard seokjin call from the stove as he shucked off his loafers. he suddenly felt uncharacteristically shy, shifting his weight from his left foot to his right as seokjin walked up to him, all broad-shouldered and stupidly handsome. "how was your day?"
taehyung smiled as seokjin went in for a gentle hug, sinking into his warm embrace and inhaling his calming scent. seokjin was a real hugger, which taehyung appreciated because he, himself, was an absolute cuddle monster and jumped for any physical affection. it didn't help the butterflies in his stomach, however. he'd hope to just digest them already and move on from this silly crush.
"my day was a happy one, thank you," taehyung replied, nearly pouting as seokjin pulled away from the embrace. "how was your's, hyung?"
"better now that you're here." the elder smiled warmly, and taehyung felt his face heat up. seokjin always knew the right things to say to get his heart racing like mad. "come sit in the kitchen and keep me company while i cook?"
the younger nodded timidly, feeling pleasantly small next to his hyung. he followed him like a puppy to the dorm kitchenette, taking a seat at the small bar table.
"so," seokjin began, as he stirred a pot of glass noodles, keeping an eye on the vegetables and pork strips in the frying pan. he was making japchae, one of taehyung's favorite dishes. "have you eaten dinner yet?"
"oh, i ate pizza at jungkook and hoseok-hyung's place," he answered, hand going instinctively to his still-bloated tum, giving it a fond pat. "truth be told, i probably overate." he let out an uneasy chuckle in an attempt to distract himself from the warmth growing in his lower belly. what was happening to him?
seokjin waved him off.
"there's no such thing as overeating if it tastes good," he countered, and before taehyung could understand what was going on, a steaming plate of japchae was placed in front of him. it was a heaping serving, the small plate only making it look bigger. "here, have some of this."
taehyung flushed, gingerly sliding the plate away.
"um, i-i shouldn't, hyung," he stammered, hand still on his middle, almost defensively, as if he were guarding it. "thank you, but i'm still pretty stuffed."
seokjin chuckled deeply, full lips curled into a smirk. he pushed the dish back in front of him. taehyung gulped.
"taehyung-ah, i've seen you demolish three times this and more in one sitting. i'm not exactly convinced that 'stuffed' is in your vocabulary."
there it was. another comment about his eating habits. however, this time, instead of irritation, he felt something... else.
"jin-hyung, i-"
"you wouldn't let all my hard work go to waste, would you?" seokjin questioned, pouting. taehyung felt his heart jump. "i made this all just for you."
"well... alright. i'll have a bite or... two." taehyung finally spoke, unable to look his hyung in the eye. picking up the pair of chopsticks, he hesitantly began to eat.
it was delicious. of course it would be.
in all his time, taehyung had never met as good a cook as seokjin. not even his own mother --who could whip up a mean bibimbap like nobody's business-- could compare to his skills. the younger male couldn't even count on two hands how many times he's had his belly nearly bursting out of his pants from seokjin's cooking. whatever it was he was making, taehyung was sure to gorge himself to new heights every time; now was only proof of that. seokjin didn't seem to mind. infact, he encouraged it.
"taste good?" the elder quizzed, taking a seat in front of the eating boy and gazing at him fondly, if not a bit intently.
taehyung took a moment to finish chewing his mouthful and swallow. he grinned.
"amazing," he answered, licking his lips. "your cooking always is the best, hyung. it's, like, ethereal."
seokjin let out his iconic windshield wiper laugh, which only made his dongsaeng giggle.
"well, if it's good enough to pull out the 50 cent words for," be mused, leaning a tad closer. "then it's good enough to finish, yeah?"
taehyung's smile faded, as he peered up at the taller man wordlessly.
"you know i don't like leftovers, taehyung-ah. scrape your plate. clean."
he didn't have to tell taehyung twice. something about the subtle command in his tone --the sprinkle of dominance within the seemingly innocent words-- sparked a flame that licked into taehyung's belly.
he continued to eat, and before he could really process anything, his chopsticks clinked against an empty plate. instantly, a crimson heat spread over his face. it was as if he were a different person for a moment.
"all done?" seokjin questioned, taking the plate from the boy as he nodded sheepishly. "good job, tae-ah! you did so well!"
taehyung felt his pants become tighter at his elder's words of encouragement.
"feeling full?"
taehyung's adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed the lump in his throat.
"i-" a burp interrupted him. he stayed quiet for a moment, hand covering his mouth, before he spoke up again. "excuse me, sorry."
he was blushing like mad. shameless taehyung who?
seokjin snorted. "guess that answers my question."
the slight teasing only increased the tightness of his pants, though he remained oblivious.
to say taehyung was full was a gross understatement. he'd passed the limitations for being full. he felt like if he moved even an inch he'd explode, literally. he looked 7 months pregnant.
"jin-hyung," he began with a taut hiccup, a slight whine to his voice. "i think... i think i ate too much."
and there it was, the rarer side of shameless taehyung. the one who needed affection after overdoing it, and wasn't afraid to beg for it.
"aw, you poor thing," his hyung cooed, helping the younger stand. his belly felt heavy and stuffed to the brim. "let's get you to the couch yeah? how's some hot chocolate sound? sound nice?"
taehyung nodded and hummed, blissed out from the tight fullness. he'd never felt this way from just eating before.
he took a seat on the couch as seokjin scurried off to make hot chocolate, and he used the opportunity to unbutton his pants. although he wasn't exactly too keen on being so unkempt in front of his love interest, his pants were digging into his bloated stomach something fierce. slowly, he undid the buttons and pulled down the zipper, freeing and allowing his tummy to rest atop. he sighed in relief, though it was short-lived when he noticed the slight bulge in his pants. well, that's new?
wait a minute--
oh fuck.
he frantically attempted to pull his sweater down to cover his lower region, but it was too snug around his plush middle to budge much. thankfully, it wasn't entirely noticable.
"here you go, taebear," seokjin said as he walked back into the small living room, two mugs of hot chocolate in his hand. one of them had tata all over it: you can guess whose it is. "careful, it's hot. let it cool before you drink it."
taehyung nodded bashfully in reply as the older of the two turned the tv on, switching the channel to some random drama taehyung had seen bits of but couldn't remember the name of. when jin sat down next to him, he immediately snuggled up to his side, head on his broad shoulder.
this. this was heaven right here.
seokjin smiled sweetly, arm wrapping around the younger. his fingers carded through taehyung's fluffy brown hair, earning a quiet sigh and pleased noises from the latter. taehyung's eyes fluttered shut as his scalp was scratched lightly.
soon enough, after finishing his hot chocolate, he felt himself grow drowsy. his belly felt warm and heavy, rising with every deep breath he took.
just as he had nearly dosed off, he felt something warm slip under his sweater and dance against his stomach. it felt like a hand.
he sighed. he must have been dreaming.
slowly, the palm of the hand traced over his swollen tummy, fingers ghosting over his navel. he all but purred at the feeling.
it began to rub circular motions onto the bloated skin with a gentle pressure, releasing a few soft burps from taehyung, who mewled at the lovely sensation. he began to fall deeper into slumber, the warm feeling being the last thing he could remember before he completely fell sound asleep.
when taehyung awoke, he was in his own room, in his own bed. he was under the blankets, glasses neatly placed on the bedside table. yawning, he looked around, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
had he been dreaming this whole time?
placing a hand on his middle, he was shocked to feel how bloated and round it was.
nope. it was all real.
and it felt completely, utterly, shamelessly good.

ā˜†
ā™”
"hey hobi-hyung, what's up?" taehyung spoke into the receiver of his phone after answering hoseok's call. he was currently working on an oil painting while munching on the oreos he'd bought at the campus snack venue on his way home.
"hey tae," he heard a strained voice answer. someone was in the background coughing. "could-" hoseok was cut off by what sounded like a particularly loud heave "ugh. could you do me a solid, tae. i'll pay you back, i promise."
and just like that, taehyung was on his way over to jungkook and hoseok's dorm. he'd debated bringing his painting with him, but eventually decided against the idea. he didn't want to make sick jungkook even sicker, nor did he want hoseok to complain about him stinking up the dorm with his paint.
the second he opened the door, hoseok rushed out.
"thanks a million, taehyung," he spoke frantically, clearly frazzled but trying to stay calm, though it was evident he was hanging on by a thread. "i hate to do this to you but you know how i am."
taehyung gave him a reassuring smile.
"hobi-hyung don't worry, it's alright! i don't mind!" he explained, placing a hand on his hyung's shoulder. "how's he doing?"
hoseok closed his eyes.
"ugh, he's just... ugh."
taehyung laughed and shook his head.
"aish, i told that dummy not to drink so much," he playfully face-palmed, giggling. "alright hyungie, head over to yoongi-hyung's. i'll take it from here."
hoseok sighed a breath of relief.
"you're a little saint, you know that, taetae?"
he pinched taehyung's full cheeks, kissing his forehead before rushing off. taehyung blushed and giggled to himself softly.
hoseok was really something else.
upon entering his friend's shared dorm and turning on the light, his eyes instantly landed on jungkook, who looked like he'd seen better days.
"taehyung?" he heard the younger croak from his bed, eyes squinted nearly shut. "shit, kill the lights will you, please?"
taehyung quickly flicked the switch off.
"oh, sorry kookie-ah," taehyung apologized, making his way in the dim room to the bed, where he sat.
"it's alright hyung, my head is just absolutely murdering me right now."
"feeling pretty bad, aren't we, bun?" taehyung murmured softly, rubbing the younger's back tenderly.
"god, 'm never fucking drinking again."
taehyung chuckled, shaking his head. he knew that was a lie; he'd probably be in the same position next weekend taking care of the hungover boy.
"okay, bun," he replied, fondly. "can i get you anything? painkillers, perhaps?"
jungkook shook his head, instantly wincing at the movement.
"no i already took some before you came." he answered. "could you just hold me for a bit, please?" his doe eyes found taehyung's gaze in the dark.
the elder boy swallowed back an 'awwww' as he laid down on the bed, taking the sick boy into his arms. he ran his fingers through the younger's silky, black hair. jungkook sighed.
"thanks, hyungie." jungkook mumbled into taehyung's warm chest. "you're the best."
a soft smile melted onto taehyung's lips. the two boys sat in a quiet trance for a while, the only sound being breathing and the hum of the ac. after some time had passed, jungkook broke the silence.
"um, hyungie?"
"what is it, bun?" taehyung replied, looking down at the boy.
"i-i um..." he began, stuttering from what taehyung assumed was nervousness. his stutter always worsened when he was nervous, the elder noticed. "i'm s-s-sorry about what i said yesterday."
taehyung haulted his movements, cocking a brow in confusion.
"what are you talking about, jungkook?"
"yes'therday," he paused to grimace at his lisp, before going on, "with hobi-hyung and yoongi-hyung." jungkook responded anxiously. "i-i shouldn't have c-commented on your body or how much you eat like that. if someone had made a comment about m-m-my stutter or lisp, i'd have been sad. it wasn't cool of me to point out an insecurity like that. i'm- i'm sorry." his voice broke a tad at the last part, though taehyung nearly didn't catch it.
taehyung blinked, taking a moment to process his dongsaeng's confession.
"okay, kookie, three things," taehyung replied after some thought, returning to stroking the boy's hair. "one: it's alright, don't worry about it. i'm definitely not upset with you, honey. two: your stutter and lisp are perfectly fine. they make you unique, make you you, so don't be embarrassed about how you talk, and don't take shit from absolutely anyone about it. got it?"
jungkook nodded, eyes still glassy.
taehyung smiled and continued.
"and three: what makes you think i'm insecure about my body?"
jungkook froze for a moment, clearly trying to conjure up an answer that wouldn't hurt his hyung's feelings.
"um..."
"is it because i'm chubby?"
jungkook didn't say anything, causing taehyung to sigh audibly.
"i have no reason to be insecure about my body, you know, jungkook?" taehyung calmly retorted, not in a mean or scolding manner, but in a blunt one. "i love my body. my tummy's job is to digest the food i eat and convert it to energy. that's it, and he's doing a pretty good job at it. so, therefore, i have no real reason to be insecure, and i'm not. a little tummy fat never hurt anyone."
jungkook looked up to gaze at his hyung.
"so, it didn't hurt your feelings when i t-touched your belly, then?" he asked, voice still slightly broken. taehyung wiped the stray tears from his dongsaeng's cheeks.
"of course not, kookie-ah," the older boy reassured, lips spreading into a grin. "in fact... i liked it."
jungkook went stiff.
"u-um... i-i'm flattered, hyung, i really am... b-but i like girls..."
taehyung let out a deep, rumbly laugh.
"don't be silly, bun!" he teased, still chuckling. "i wasn't talking about you! i wouldn't date your lame ass anyways, even if you did like guys!"
this earned him a playful slap.
"but you did... like it?" jungkook questioned after a comfortable silence.
taehyung nodded a bit stiffly.
"yeah, i... i guess i did." he admitted. "to be honest... i wouldn't mind if seokjin touched m- woah! sorry about the tmi! literally forget i said that, please. like, erase it from your memory."
taehyung flushed in embarrassment as jungkook burst out laughing.
"yah, don't make fun of me! i'll kick your ass you little shit!"
despite the teasing, taehyung definitely wouldn't mind if seokjin touched his belly. infact, he'd fucking love it.
and, well... this all was... new. he'd like to explore this more in the future.
however, little did taehyung know, he wasn't the only one with a bit of experimentation in mind.
