23:50 | June 24th hongjoong & mingi
àȘâ⎠Hongjoong glanced over at Mingi, whose fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel in rhythm with the music. Mingi's hum was soft, almost like he was trying not to disrupt the quiet atmosphere in the car, and Hongjoong couldn't help but feel a little more at ease because of it. He shifted his gaze out the window, watching as the trees blur. Hongjoong looked down to his phone, the no signal bar causing him to groan in annoyance. Mingi took a glance before he let out a chuckle.
" what's wrong hyung?"
" no signal, and we look lost Mingi. Are you sure we're going the right way?" Hongjoong asked, looking at the blank GPS screen.
" well.. we kinda lost signal a couple of miles back but -"
" so we're lost," Hongjoong huffed.
Mingi laughed, a little too casually, keeping his eyes on the winding road. "Not lost, exactly. Just... taking the scenic route."
Hongjoong gave him a skeptical look, crossing his arms. "The scenic route? Mingi, weâre in the middle of nowhere, and the GPS has no signal."
Mingi scratched the back of his head, grinning sheepishly. "Look, I may have missed a turn. But itâs all part of the adventure, right? No maps, no plans⊠just us and the open road."
Hongjoong let out a sigh, unable to hold back a small smile. "Only you would call being lost an adventure."
âCome on, hyung, whereâs your sense of spontaneity?â Mingi teased, shooting him a playful look.
" yn and everyone else are going to be worried. We promise to keep them updated." Hongjoong grumbled, his eyes going back to the road.
Mingi sighed, " i know, especially since the place is going to be opening for the first time since -"
" since those murders in 2021, yeah i know. Speaking of, why did we agree to do this stupid summer camp?"
Mingiâs playful grin faded as he remembered. "Yeah⊠guess we didnât think that part through, huh?"
Hongjoong nodded, his fingers drumming against his knee. "I still donât know why we agreed. A summer camp at a place with a history like that? They probably think we're crazy."
"Maybe we are," Mingi joked, though there was a flicker of nervousness in his eyes. "But, hey, someoneâs gotta do it, right? Plus, itâs supposed to be a fresh start for the place, a chance to move on."
Hongjoong sighed, still uneasy but trying to believe that maybe, just maybe, they were there to bring something positive. "Letâs just hope we arenât the ones who need rescuing by the end of this.â
Mingi let out a soft hum, Hongjoong tapping his fingers to the music before something caught his eyes.
A flicker of movement just beyond the trees drew Hongjoongâs attention. He leaned forward, squinting as he tried to make out what he sawâa figure? Something that seemed out of place against the dense green backdrop.
âMingi,â Hongjoong said, his voice low, his fingers pausing mid-tap. âDid you see that?â
Mingi glanced over, following Hongjoongâs gaze toward the trees. âSee what?â
Hongjoong shook his head, still staring as the figure seemed to vanish into the shadows. âI donât know⊠I thought I saw someone, just standing there. Watching us.â
Mingi chuckled nervously, trying to brush off the chill that crept into the car. âProbably just some animal, hyung. Or your imagination. Itâs the middle of nowhere, remember?â
âMaybe,â Hongjoong muttered, though he couldnât shake the image from his mind. He forced himself to look away, but the uneasy feeling lingered as they drove deeper into the forest.
Just as Hongjoong looked away, the two males let out a gasp as Mingi tried to swerve away from something that was hunched over on the road. Hongjoong
Hongjoongâs heart raced as he gripped the seat, eyes wide as Mingi jerked the wheel. The car swerved sharply, tires screeching as Mingi struggled to regain control. They both caught a glimpse of a hunched figure, shrouded in shadow, barely illuminated by the headlights before it disappeared from sight.
"Mingi, what was that?" Hongjoongâs voice trembled, his gaze fixed on the dark road ahead.
"I donât know!" Mingi's knuckles were white against the wheel, his breathing uneven. "It looked⊠human, but it wasâ I couldnât see its face. It just⊠appeared."
They sat in silence, hearts pounding, as the car rolled to a stop on the side of the road. Both of them were afraid to look back, the air thick with dread.
Hongjoong swallowed, trying to steady his voice. "Should we⊠check it out? Make sure we didnât hit it?"
Mingi shook his head quickly, his voice barely a whisper. "Hyung⊠maybe we just keep going."
" what if it was a person? " Hongjoong asked, already taking his seatbelt off.
Mingi shook his head, " it looked like an animal. Come on, we're nearly there to the camp."
Hongjoong hesitated, his hand frozen on the seatbelt buckle as he looked out into the darkness. "I donât know, Mingi⊠if it was a person, we canât just leave them here."
Mingi swallowed, glancing back at the road nervously. "Hyung, I know how it looked, but⊠thereâs no way that was human. The way it moved, hunched over like thatâit wasnât normal."
Hongjoongâs gaze shifted between Mingi and the empty road, uncertainty flickering in his eyes. But something deep down told him that stopping wasnât a good idea. They were close to the camp, and the thought of being stranded out here with something lurking unsettled him more than he wanted to admit.
âAlright,â he finally conceded, slowly putting his seatbelt back on. âBut if we hear anything or see it again, weâre checking.â
âDeal,â Mingi agreed, relief washing over him as he started the car. They drove forward, the unsettling encounter leaving a lingering tension in the air as the camp finally came into view through the trees.
00:26 June 25th Hongjoong & Mingi
àȘâ⎠Mingi and Hongjoong were banging on the door, goosebumps covering their body as they sighed in defeat. Mingi crossed his arms, annoyance plater on his face as he turned to Hongjoong.
" did you even talk to the new owner?" Mingi whined, nearly stomping his feet but stopped himself when Hongjoong glared at him.
" the owner didn't pick up, i left him a voicemail.." Hongjoong mumbled, looking away from his young lover.
âA voicemail?â Mingi repeated, exasperated. âYou mean to tell me we drove all this way, past⊠whatever that thing was on the road⊠for a voicemail?â
âYeah, because that was such a good call.â Mingi gestured toward the locked door. âNow weâre locked out here, freezing our butts off."
Hongjoong huffed, crossing his arms as he looked up at the old, dark building in front of them. The camp looked even more eerie than heâd expectedâweathered wood, windows dark and lifeless, as though it hadnât been touched in years.
â you would think with new management theyâll keep the building tidy,â Mingi mumbled.
â look, why donât you go and wait in the car for me hm? iâll take a look around before we look for a hotel nearby,â Hongjoong said, not looking at him.
Mingi nodded. âAlright, but donât take too long. This place is giving me the creeps,â he muttered, casting a wary glance around.
âI wonât be long, I promise.â
He watched as Mingi shuffled back to the car before he turned to face the old building again, squaring his shoulders and approaching the front door. He knocked once more, the echo fading into the emptiness around him.
After a few moments of silence, Hongjoong sighed, muttering under his breath. âI swear, Yn, youâre in so much trouble when I see you tomorrow.â
He took a few cautious steps around the side of the building, his eyes scanning the windows and doors for any sign of life. The wind picked up, sending a shiver down his spine as he heard leaves rustling nearby. It was quiet, but every now and then, he felt a pair of unseen eyes on him, making his skin crawl.
Back at the car, Mingi waited, glancing at his phone, though it still showed no signal. He looked up as Hongjoong returned to his side, an uneasy expression on his face.
âAny luck?â Mingi asked, a hint of hope in his voice.
Hongjoong shook his head. âNo sign of anyone. And still no signal?â
Mingi shook his head, disappointed. âNothing. You think weâll have to find a hotel?â
Hongjoong nodded, but just as he was about to speak, a faint, eerie crunch echoed from the nearby trees, causing both of them to freeze. Hongjoongâs hand instinctively moved to Mingiâs shoulder.
âStay close,â he whispered, his own voice barely steady. Whatever was out there, they both knew it was no simple animal.
Hongjoongâs eyes darted to the source of the sound, heart pounding as he scanned the dark treeline. The crunching grew louder, deliberate, like someoneâor somethingâwas circling them.
Mingi looked at Hongjoong in fear, "hyung⊠maybe itâs just an animal,â he whispered, though his voice betrayed his unease.
But Hongjoong shook his head, eyes narrowing as he listened. "Thatâs not just an animal, Mingi. It sounds⊠heavier.â
They stood side by side, barely daring to breathe as the footsteps grew closer, each crunch of leaves sending a wave of dread through them. The sound was heavy, calculated, like something stalking its prey.
Hongjoong clenched his jaw, holding Mingi a little closer. âStay behind me,â he murmured, his gaze never leaving the shadowed trees. He could feel Mingiâs hand trembling on his arm, but he kept his own grip steady, bracing himself for whatever might emerge.
âHyungâŠâ Mingiâs voice was a shaky whisper, his wide eyes darting around, searching for a way out.
With the wind howling, the leaves shuffling and the full moon shining brightly down below them seemed such a scene out of a horror movie. The taller male clinging onto the shorter male as he held his phone, the light shinning as much as it could.
â hyung, letâs just go back into the car and -â
The sudden animalistic growl cut Mingi off, Hongjoong shifting his light towards the sound. Mingiâs grip tightened on Hongjoong, making him hiss out in pain.
Hongjoong winced, trying to shake off the discomfort as he adjusted the light, its narrow beam barely cutting through the darkness around them. Mingi reluctantly loosened his grip but stayed close, his wide eyes fixed on the shadowed trees as another low growl echoed from deeper within the forest.
âLetâs⊠letâs just go back,â Mingi pleaded, his voice trembling. âWe donât need to know what that is, hyung. We really donât.â
Hongjoong hesitated, glancing between the safety of the car and the darkened path in front of them. The logical part of him agreed with Mingiâevery instinct screamed at him to turn back and drive far away. But another part of him felt rooted, as if something in the shadows was pulling him closer, demanding his attention.
Just as he was about to speak, the growl grew louder, more ferocious, reverberating through the trees. This time, it was accompanied by the sound of branches snapping and leaves crunching, as if something large and powerful was moving toward them.
Hongjoongâs heart raced, and he gave Mingi a firm push toward the car. âGet in and lock the doors.â
âHyung, Iâm not leaving you here alone!â Mingi protested, panic flaring in his eyes.
Hongjoong shrugged the younger male off as he turned to him. A look so serious, Mingi knew that he is to take everything he says serious.
â run to the car and donât turn back. Go!â Hongjoong yelled, shoving Mingi away just as something tackled Hongjoong to the ground.
Mingi stumbled backward, his eyes wide with fear and hesitation as he watched Hongjoong struggle beneath the weight of the creature. It had lunged from the shadows so fast, like a blur of dark, twisted limbs, pinning Hongjoong to the ground before he could even react.
âGo!â Hongjoong shouted again, his voice strained as he fought to push the creature back.
But Mingi couldnât move, rooted to the spot in terror. Every part of him wanted to run, to obey, but seeing Hongjoong on the ground, fighting for his life, kept him frozen.
âDamn it, Mingi, run!â Hongjoongâs voice cut through the haze, snapping him back to reality.
With a strangled gasp, Mingi finally turned, sprinting toward the car with his heart pounding wildly in his chest. His footsteps were loud against the ground, but the only thing he could hear was the sound of Hongjoongâs struggling breaths and the creatureâs low, guttural growls. Tears pricked at Mingiâs eyes, guilt and fear clawing at him as he fumbled with the car door, throwing himself into the driverâs seat.
He glanced back, just in time to see Hongjoong shove the creature off, his face twisted in pain but his determination unwavering. But before Mingi could even think of helping, the creature lunged again, claws flashing in the dim light.
Desperation took over as Mingi turned the key in the ignition, praying the car would start. The engine sputtered, and he cursed, trying again. âCome on, come onâŠâ
Mingiâs hands shook violently as he jammed the key into the ignition again, his heart racing faster with each failed attempt. Hongjoongâs cries echoed in his mind, fueling his desperation, and he felt the weight of panic press down on him like never before.
âPlease, please, just start!â he muttered, voice thick with fear, gripping the wheel as if sheer force would make the engine turn over.
The engine gave one last sputter before roaring to life, the sudden sound almost a relief too great to bear. As Mingiâs hands gripped the steering wheel, a cold, vice-like grip suddenly yanked him from his seat, tearing him out of the car with terrifying strength. He barely had time to scream as he was dragged backward, his nails scratching against the ground in desperation. His terrified cries pierced the night, echoing through the dense forest, scattering the last few birds that had been resting in the trees.
âH-Hongjoong!â

Day twenty-six of âobligatory sugar baby Konâ behind the cut. prev: (( chrono || non-chrono ))
Kon laughs into his mouth and kisses him back easy and eager, and the moment Tim drops his hands off his face heâs looping his arms around his neckâwhich Tim is very normal about, for the recordâand leaning down into him. Tim puts his hands on his hips in return and feels several extremely complicated ways about someone whoâs capable of lifting literal construction equipment trusting him with their weight, most of which heâs pretty sure are going to haunt him for the rest of his life, or at least his next four to six months of, uhâpersonal time.Â
. . . he can never, ever be anywhere near any telepath again. Ever. Just ever.Â
Or at least for the next four to six months, anyway.
The park really is deserted now, and lit by a couple of streetlights and a bit of bleedover from the street, but not much else. The rest of the streetlights are definitely out, and it looks like there werenât that many to begin with. The neighborhood isnât even that bad, really, but itâs Gotham, so Timâs not surprised. Heâs assuming the other skaters were regulars who knew how bad the lighting gets here this late, given most of them cleared out around the same time and how itâs only gotten darker since they did.Â
Well, he doesnât mind the dark, personally, and definitely doesnât mind the privacy.Â
âSorry,â he says as he leans back from the kiss for a moment, mostly to make sure he doesnât get carried away with anything. âDidnât mean to cut you off.âÂ
âYeah, youâll have to make it up to me by doing it some more,â Kon teases, squeezing his arms around his neck for a moment before giving him a peck on the cheek. Tim gives himself three seconds to be a useless mess of goo, then clears his throat and presses a quick kiss to the corner of his mouth in return. Kon grins underneath it, and Tim needs another three seconds to burn alive, then clears his throat again.Â
âIâll keep that in mind,â he says, and Kon giggles again. Tim really has no idea how he feels about the giggling thing. Itâs so cute he wants to throw himself in the harbor, but also heâs weirdly, likeâjust weirdly aware that itâs just not a thing heâs ever heard Kon do as Robin. Which, yeah, obviously there are several things going on right now that would not be going on with Robin, but still keeps throwing him off.Â
Konâs just . . . like, heâs very clearly the same annoying bastard whoâs been driving Robin literally insane every single time Young Justice meets up, but also heâs doing all these things that heâd never normally do and Tim feels like heâs just constantly learning weird little unexpected new tidbits about him, most of them directly targeted to destroy his life.Â
And thenâone or two less âlittleâ things that are directly targeted to destroy his life in a very different way, but thatâs just not something Tim wants to be thinking about while Konâs grinning and giggling at him and justâlike this, he guesses.Â
Heâll update his fifteen-year plan after patrol tomorrow, he promises himself. At least take some preliminary notes, anyway.Â
âCan you teach me?â Kon asks, and Timâblinks, trying to figure out whatâ
âTo skate?â he asks in disbelief.Â
âYeah!â Kon says excitedly, and Tim almost reminds him he can literally fly, but canât really bring himself to in the face of that inexplicable excitement.Â
âUm, sure, yeah,â he says. âI can teach you a couple things, maybe.âÂ
Kon beams at him. Tim, somehow, is still completely unprepared. He thinks Kon just makes it very hard for him to be prepared, somehow.
So that's a weird experience, all things considered.

i hope youâre doing okay. đ itâs ok if you donât answer this, i just wanted you to know folks are still thinking about you and wanting good things for you.
thank you babe (and thank you to everyone else who sent a message to this effect; i will answer them when i can)
i'm doing pretty well right now. i've been very busy at work, working on a top secret classified project (god only knows when you'll get more details than what i've already shared ;3), and also just. recovering from depression. there is so much of my life that even months out from the worst of it, i'm still trying to pull the pieces back together.
i have been writing a little. it's been difficult, mostly because of numerous incidents regarding writing and mental health (if you've been here for a while, you probably know about them; if you're new, the tldr is "mallowstep went off the wall for a bit and he's fine but it left him feeling bad"), and now i face down the summer which is...rough, mentally.
i don't know what normal looks like for me right now. i want to write but i don't know how it will fit into my life. i'm still making space for myself, in all the chaos and reconstruction. i know writing will be a part of normal for me. i just don't know where it fits yet.
it's been a while since i've felt like myself. the hollow feeling is abating. i am finding words to describe emotion again, that are more than just there or missing. i have been thinking about the stories i have yet to work on. what i want to tell next.
it has been an incredible two years for me. when i started this blog, i had just been broken up with by my boyfriend of three years, only a month or so after my childhood cat and dog had died one day apart. i was coping with so much impossible grief: i wrote the second chapter of i'll come back to you someday soon myself after my grandmother died, and i did not write anything after that for quite a while.
my wrists are healing. they hurt a little today and i'm not sure why, but they are healing.
i'll be going back to university as a natural resources major. i want a job that lets me protect and cultivate the forests i find so much comfort in. the complex webs of their ecosystems bring me so much delight. did you know trees talk to their daughters? did you know they care for their children? protect them?
it has been an incredible two years. i met my now-partner, learned how to actually trust people, and failed out of a year of college due to collapsing mental health. i went through approximately one million assessments to get a diagnosis and understand what was happening to me. i had a doctor tell me i was being undermedicated to an astounding degree. i had to let go of my beloved plants because i couldn't keep myself alive, much less then. i found a job i love so much i am eager to go to work every morning.
i honestly don't think i would've recognized who i am now, back when i started out here. i have become someone who trusts. who has connections with people. who does not fear so much. (i have also become someone who cries as i drive home from work sometimes. i have also become someone who needs to sit on the floor and count all the pieces of art i can see. we move in spirals, not straight lines.)
all of this is to say, i have been quiet on here for quite a while because i have been recovering from two years (a lifetime) of some truly exhausting events, as well as letting myself find things i enjoy. when i got out of high school, i loved what i was doing academically. i had very little passion. it had been bled out of me.
i am incredibly grateful to each and every one of you. your support, even in my period of dormancy, has meant so much. my relationship with writing sometimes feels like i am fighting my double, trying to balance both my need to use writing to understand myself, and my tendencies to ruin myself in the process.
i still don't have any promises to make, because i really don't know what's next for me. but i am still here, and you all still mean something to me.
with all my love, mallow
#ask#mine#anon#update#sorry this got like#so rambly#it's just really been an incredible two years#so much has changed#who i was when i started this blog feels like a stranger#it hasn't been an easy journey#and i have been trying to recover#to heal#to find new things i never thought to try for#it has taken so much up out of me#that being said#(if i were the promising type)#i would look for the next chapter of ashes ;3#before anything else#but that's just a guess#who knows where i'll truly go

the hot dad next door (m) | park sunghoon.
ïč đŹ ïč ă ââââđ¶đł đđ”đČ đ”đŒđ đ±đźđ± đ»đČđ
đ đ±đŒđŒđż đđźđ»đđ đđŒđ?
preview. the ever quintessential first time dad moves in next door with his five year old and finds it impossible not to fall for you, the pretty girl who gives his daughter cookies and him; the doll eyes. obsessed with your entire being, unable to keep his hands off you, park sunghoon questions if he's just crazy or he's crazy over you.
or where, he notices the way you look at his hands a little too long for it to be innocent.
meet the cast. single dad!park sunghoon with his pretty neighbour fem!reader.
genre. DILFF AUU !!, SMUT MDNI, fluff, neighbours to lovers, sunghoon is quite literally yes insanely crazed over you and for the sake of god can't keep his dick soft, domestic a little bit i guess, i want to make her my wife trope EEEKKK, slight age gap (hoon in late twenties and reader in early twenties) more to be added.
word count. est around 20k or more
warnings. inaccuracies about parenting cause i aint a parent, i got no idea. more will be mentioned in the actual post.
releasing. very soon!! .. progress update tag
park sunghoon was hot, he was a walking greek god. was single and wore these fitted suits that had you weak in the knees. if that wasn't hot enough, park sunghoon also had the cutest baby girl you had ever come across and it just made him hotter than he could ever have been.
"hey, um .. is jiâ" sunghoon stands at the threshold of your open apartment door, one hand holding his creased blazer and the other rubbing at the back of his neck. embarrassed and shy at having to show up at yours looking like a mess after work because his daughter ran off while he was busy on a call and taking out her school bag from the backseat. and because everytime his daughter ran off, it was to the pretty girl next door who gives away sweet cookies all the time.
"is jia here? yeah she's in the kitchen," you answer, smiling soft and knowingly at the worried guy who barely looked like a dad. he worked in a corporate editorial, out before eight in the morning just as you prepared ingredients for your bakery. taking his daughter along to school, her excited voice resonating through the halls talking about how they were going to play with clay in class. around seven in the evening you'd hear her again, this time alone as she would skip over to your door because dada was too slow.
on weekends it'd be impossible to ignore the ruckus they made playing around, sometimes inviting you over for lunch because sunghoon apparently made too much and jia wanted to share her dada's delicious food. on some occasional weekends when he'd be called in to work for a few hours, jia would promise him to stay home and behave only to call you through the landline the moment he'd step out the door. and you would text sunghoon to come over to yours after work, his daughter munching on the new flavored cupcakes you made, unbothered about her dad and his scoldings.
"come on in, i made some almond lime tart, you could give me some feedbacks along with jia. you know she always says it's good and i can never know if it's actually good," sunghoon can't help but chuckle at that, slipping off his shoes by the front and walking inside. his eyes following your figure with a fond look as you tend to his daughter delicately, and might he admitâ even more so than him.
you're sweet, you know how to handle kids; cue that one time jia was crying her eyes out after school and he had no idea what to do to comfort her, knocking at your door frantically and having his mind blown at how quickly you figured things out and calmed her down.
you're sweet, you know how to handle kids, you treat them both so well, always ready to help him out with jia, giving them sweet treats every other day and most of allâ you're fucking pretty. way too pretty for him to handle.

home sweet home
a vi x reader.
the war between the silco and the firelights has gotten tense, and all you want is a day off to rest. but when an old flame returns from the dead you find the energy to give her a welcome home present she wonât forget.
wc: 4.491
contains : fluff, adoptive brother ekko and firelight reader. mentions of vi's abuse in prison :c smut. dry humping and tribbing yippee.
a/n : idk something about being separated for years and celebrating the reunion with rough and/or desperate sex does it for me bro đ started this beforeeee everything and hopefully this gets posted the morning of act ones drop <3 update i love vi but i need to kick her ass yayyy enjoy.
-
for lack of a better word, your day was getting really fucking weird.
you woke up with a weird feeling in your stomach, an ache strong enough to rouse you from your sleep and out of your bed. you chalked it up to hunger, having skipped another meal last night to stay up looking over some of the injured firelightâs and new schematics for tools and weapons.
but once you got a good meal into your stomach, staring up at the giant tree you called your home, you realized the feeling wasnât from neglecting your appetite. it was that feeing you got when something big was about to happen.
you felt it when the breakthroughs were made on some of the bigger inventions like the hoverboards, when the firelights found this impossible and beautiful grove and made it their home, on that day years ago where your life crumbled around you in the space of a few days.
so it was only up to fate if something bad or good would happen today. and you didnât feel like waiting to find out.
quickly making your way up the tree, you rapidly do your special knock on ekkoâs door, only to be met with silence. you try again and silence still. trying and slightly failing to keep yourself calm, you head back down and start asking others if theyâve seen him, the ache in your stomach growing at some of the awkward and shifty responses you get.
for six years you and ekko have been inseparable. both traumatized by the trials of growing up in the undercity, getting taken in by benzo, and then the sudden and bloody death of your friends, you had no one else to depend on except for each other. it was hard to put it lightly, navigating a rapidly changing undercity and taking care of your little adoptive brother while trying to deal with your own trauma. even as you met others and formed this group you now call family, you made a promise to each other to stick side by side no matter what.
and that included not running off and doing god knows what in the early morning while the other was sleeping.
youâre halfway through pulling on your coat and mask when you hear the sound of the main door opening and a small commotion, running as fast as you can to get down the tree again before a tall figure stops you.
he tries to be funny, throwing out a 'hey hey hey, slow down! your running like thereâs a fire-ow!' before he holds a gloved hand to the side of his arm, cradling the spot where you punched him. you get a solid minute of berating and cussing him out before the look on his face tells you he's being serious, conflict clear in his brown eyes.
you have about a million questions running in your head as he leads you to one of the stock rooms, his breath inhaling multiple times to explain before he lets it out in frustration.
âjustâŠpromise you wonât freak out, ok?â
you nod before he pushes you inside and closes the door behind you.
you scoff, calling his name and knocking on the hard material for him to let you out. you werenât in the mood today to entertain his hidden playful nature, most of the time you indulged him but you were too worried at the moment. youâre seconds away from cursing him out again when a soft voice calls out your name from the darkness behind you behind you.
no. itâs not possible. itâs deeper, more rugged then you remember, but you wouldnât, couldnât forget that voice. you heard it in your dreams for years, pushing you to keep going for yourself when you felt like giving up, reminding you she was always there by your side when you felt so alone.
you slowly turn your body, unconsciously trying to protect yourself from the possibility of this being a farce when two strong arms wrap around your waist and pull you into a sturdy torso. at the slightest glimpse of hit pink hair your eyes start to water and your chest is heaving with long building gasps, wrapping your arms around her shoulders and digging your face into her neck.
for years youâd daydream about this moment, what youâd say if you were reunited with the girl who was your best friend and likely the love of your life. youâd imagine the rushed out words and apologies, the shared wails as you assured the other youâd never leave their side again. but this silence just feels so right, makes so much sense for all the emotions youâve been letting sit in your heart without any kind of resolution or closure.
she pulls away from you slightly and you hope she ignores the subtle whine that leaves your throat as she does. her large, and you mean really large, palms come up to cup your cheek as she stares at your face, blue eyes flitting across your features like sheâs trying to commit every piece of you to memory. you donât mind, you remember how she liked when you let her observe things so she could take in things as much as possible lest they be gone in a second. it just gives you an excuse to stare at her, too.
and gods above are you staring. obviously a large part of you is sentimental and sad as you see how much sheâs changed over the years; the longer jagged shapes of her jaw, her nose. your heart pangs seeing the cuts in her brow and lip that you unconsciously bring a finger up to rub at. but it takes an embarrassing amount of strength not to pay attention just to her lips as you feel over the scar, how her bright eyes go wide and unblinking as she stands and lets you do whatever it is youâre doing.
you want to do anything to break the tension and youâre given the opportunity when your eyesight drifts slightly to the right and catches onto the tattoo on her upper cheek.
âdid youâŠtattoo your name on your face?â
youâre still so close you can feel her laugh rather than hear it, her chest pressing into your when she huffs through her nose.
âwanted to make sure the guys in there knew who was kicking their asses without the need for introductions.â
âstill punching first yelling insults later?â
ânothing anybody in there didnât deserve.â
gods does your heart hurt for her. you knew it was likely other people like her were probably in stillwater, disposed of to cover someoneâs ass or see as thrash just for where they were born. but you knew despite that she would have faced so much being thrown in there at such a young age that you not anyone else could understand, the way they must have treated herâŠ
even after all these years itâs like she can ready your body language like a book, able to know your fingers stalling in their exploration means your mind is wandering, and given the previous subject matter she knows it canât be good. her bandaged fingers gently wrap around yours and rub over your knuckles until your attention is back on her.
âhey, stay with me for now. weâll have time to go over all that stuff later. right now just stay with me, alright?â
like you could ever say no to her.
you figure the best way to make progress until your much needed conversation is yo acquaint her with where your sure sheâll be staying until she gets back on her feet, however she chooses to do so. at first she seems uncomfortable with the idea of staying at the base, like she doesnât want to intrude on the home you and others had built from the ground up.
âobviously iâll help with anything you guys ask but are you sure everyone would be alright with me staying here? i kind of punched the shit out of that scar guy.â
âheâll get over it just like everyone else. youâre a legend here, vi, youâre up on that mural for a reason.â
the whole time you show vi around you feel a warm mess in your chest. you forgot just how nice it was to spend time with her, thinking back on fond memories of the two of you sneaking away when the others were busy to spend time together on the safer and quieter parts of the undercity. your feelings arenât helped with how close vi insists on being, hand never leaving your grasp as you tug her around and occasionally bumping her shoulder into yours when your mind wanders.
youâre recounting the story of how one of the hoverboards went haywire and crashed into one of the bases walls when a low rumble from the side of you cuts you off, footsteps halting you in place. when you turn to vi she has that same cute embarrassed look she used to have when you were younger, eyes wide and body still like if she didnât move you wouldnât acknowledge what just happened.
she knows better than to argue with you as you drag her pliant body somewhere, most likely to get her something to eat after only having some scarfed down jerichos a few hours ago. you bc lead her to some small communal dining area before not so gently guiding her to sit, eyes on her form for a few seconds to make sure she wonât be stubborn and refuse to let you grab some food for her.
and why would she even think of resisting when she can sit here and finally get a few minutes to just relax. ever since cait somehow managed to get her out of prison her body had been on, sheer stubbornness and willpower keeping her going until she found what she was looking for. a part of her knew she wouldnât stop searching, wouldnât stop hoping to see you and her sister again.
but as she watches you across the room pick and prod over a meal a vastayan is helping to out on your plate her shoulders unclench and the muscles in her legs ease. nothing felt better than when youâd dote over her. she remembers one time she caught a flu and had to stay inside and distant from everyone, ready to be miserable in solitude until you burst in with vander hot on your heels and insisted you wouldnât leave her side until she was better, that sheâd do the same for you.
which she did have to wind up doing as you caught the sickness from her after only three days. she never once complained.
when you finish her plate you look back to her with a sweet smile and start to walk back over to her. she writhes in her seat a bit under your gaze, suddenly feeling a little too warm when you sit the plate in from of her and tell her to eat up. she tries her best not to scarf this down as well, but when you give her a look that says you know how hungry she she is and wonât mind she canât help herself.
she spends the rest of the day by your side, never leaving your sight as you introduce her to some of your fellow firelights and some of the younger kids whoâd heard stories about her and vander. you can tell it still prods at an unhealed wound to talk about him in past tense, but that she still looks back on those fond memories with happiness. youâre more than happy to join in and help narrate the tale of one of your more adventurous and dangerous trips through the old undercity.
eventually the sun starts to set and the lights of the tree turn from a dazzling green to a soft collection of oranges and yellow, a signal to everyone that itâs time to wind down and end the day. the two of you meet back of with ekko who tells you he had already shown cait to an extra room she could use for the next few days.
âcupcake didnât put up too much of hassle today, did she? donât think sheâs ever spent this much time past the promenade.â
âshe was alright. uptight but i can tell she means well. you can talk to her in the morning, her room is right across from yours.â
youâre paying too much attention to just being in the space of two of your favorite people again that you donât even notice how vi has turned her head to look at you, silently asking you to ask her for what she hopes you both want. by the time you realize and turn back to ekko he has that dumb little grin on his face that he used to wear all the time heâd catch the two of you getting a little too close for comfort.
âdonât even start, ekko.â
âi didnât say anything! iâll catch up with you two tomorrow. try not to be so loud, some of us need a good nights sleep tonight-â
you quickly reach over and swat at the young boys arm as he laughs and hurries away from the two of you, voice carrying as he leaves to head off to sleep.
itâs surreal as you take viâs hand into yours and start the brisk walk to your personal quarters. you donât have any expectations about tonight but you canât lie and say a deep part of yourself isnât hoping to get more than close with her tonight.
once you reach your bedroom you start shuffling for some clothes for the both of you to wear while she prods and examines all of your things. you watch her for a moment, nearly giving yourself away with a laugh when she nearly breaks the dusty antique snow globe youâd found abandoned on a scrap run.
âitâs crazy, right? how theyâll just abandon things without even thinking about their worth.â you speak offhandedly as you settle yourself on to your bed and start to remove your boots and holsters.
âyeah, no offense but i just. really donât wanna talk about abandoning things right now.â her tone is malicious enough to make you sit your movements, eyes softening at the broken and tired woman in front of you.
âiâm sorry, i just-â
âno, no, itâs okay. i understand,â you gently reach out your hand to hold hers, locked in that tight fist she does when sheâs bottling up her anger. âcan you talk to me about it? whatever you want to say, just say it.â
she rolls her shoulder before setting down the globe and sitting on the bed, her tensed back facing you. you gently pass the spare clothes you have for her and watch as she takes them and sets them on her lap.
âevery night for the first year i was in there iâd have these nightmares. about what happened. first it was just, replaying what happened on this endless loop. then it was wondering what i couldâve done different, if i couldâve been smarter-â
âvi dont do that,â you crawled over to sit right behind her body placed your hands on her shoulders, gently rubbing them across and down to her forearms. trying to look her in the eye proves useless. âwhat happened wasâŠtragic, and blaming yourself is pointless. you did what you could, i know you did.â
âhow? how could you possibly know?â she finally turns her head to you and the look in her eyes does nothing to help the sick feeling you have building up in your throat and stomach. âi told you to stay with ekko, you werenât there. how could you not be even a little angry at me, for not being here for powder, for ekko and the firelights, for you?â
you can hear the lump in her throat and see the tears building in her eyes when you bring your hands up to cup her face. a stray tear runs down her face and you brush it away with your thumb.
âi could never be angry at you, vi. not for this. the girl i know always kept fighting for her family, and if she didnât come back to us it was because she couldnât. sheâd never abandon us, you wouldnât abandon us.â
she gently nods her head and nuzzles her face into your hands. you give her a minute to calm down, continuing to softly brush her cheeks and her crazy hair out of her eye.
âwhat is going on with your hair?â you whisper as you struggle to push a strand away and out of her face, giving up once it falls back into place for the tenth time.
her eyebrows scrunch. "what, you dont like it? its cool."
"its covering half of your face, its horrible."
"you'll get used to it." she shakes her head with a small smile before softly resting her hand on your lower waist.
"maybe, but im definitely not going to brush over you tattooing your name on your face. please tell me you didnt make any other rash b ody adjustments in there."
the growing smile on her simultaneously puts butterflies in your stomach and makes you very nervous. its not helped when she turns her back to you again and starts to shrug off her jacket, revealing the previous glimpse of her neck tattoo you'd seen goes further down. way further down.
"wow. that's...wow." you want to bury your head into your hands and leave the room. 'wow just wow?' really smooth. "can i touch?"
"uhhh yeah, no problem."
after she gives her consent your fingertips lightly hover and brush over the interlapping lines of curves inked into her skin. you feel a small thrill seeing the goosebumps rise on her arms when your hands glide down them, taking pride in knowing you can still bring out a physical reaction in her with your touch.
"this is really nice, vi. did you get someone in there to do it for you?"
"nope, did 'em both myself. wasn't exactly the best environment to ask people to have access to your body with a needle for hours at a time."
you hum in response while continuing to observe the tattoo. you can see it goes further down her back and decide to speak without thinking too much about what you're saying.
"can i see the rest of it?"
you're a bit scared at how still she goes, wondering if maybe you crossed a boundary before her hands slowly reach behind her and start to lift the white fabric of her shirt until its full taken off of her body.
you make sure to continue the gentle touches as your hands run down the muscles and planes of her back, continuing to admire the clouds and gears that make up the design. you feel a little pang in your heart when you see the initials of mylo and claggor at the bottom of the tattoo, along with the number of welts and scars on her skin.
"its beautiful, vi." you whisper. her body subtly scooches back on the bed to get closer to your touch. the moment is just shy of overwhelming, which is probably why you leave a small kiss on her shoulder, right where one of the scars starts before trailing down her back a few inches. she lets out a muffled noise and you start to pull away before the strong grip of her palm clasps down on your leg, holding you in place.
you leave more kisses and pecks over the length of her tattoo as your legs start to wrap around her from behind, both of her hands grasping your thighs as she relaxes into the affection. you test the waters when you come back up to her neck, lightly sinking your teeth into her skin.
"oh fuck-" her strained voice hits your ears right before she abruptly pulls out of your arms and tugs you by the arm and leg until your reversed, sitting in her lap with her hands gripping at your hips.
you continue to drag yours up and down her arms, reveling in the fact that you can now see her facial expressions, how her eyes droop and lips part as you slightly scratch at her skin.
you adjust your hips to sit closer to her at the same time she lifts hers up, the friction causing small noises to escape both of your throats. her eyes open up and she stares up at you with those big light blues.
your hand travels up to her hair, running through it as you keep looking at her. "are you sure? i dont wanna push you,"
"you wont, i do. please, just wanna be close to you."
you give in, wrapping your arms around her neck and bringing her into a sweet kiss, reveling in the feel of her arms coming up to grip on your back. its slow and languid as you get used to each other before she adds her tongue to the mix, pulling a moan from your throat as you try to bury yourself even closer into her hold.
you move your focus onto her neck, trailing kisses and bites down and across her throat, as she rocks your bodies together and claws at your back.
"used to dream about this, about you, missed you so much," her voice has a slight rasp to it already that drives you nuts, instantly darting back up to bring her into a messy kiss. she adjusts her knee to rest in between your legs and lifts it up into your core, pulling away to look at you as you moan at the friction.
"jeez, what'd they teach you in there?" you let out a breathy chuckle while you grind down into her knee. your eyes drift close before her gentle kiss to her cheek drags your gaze back to her, unblinking as she watches you come undone for her. her stare along with the hazy smile on her face yanks you to the edge, gasping and moaning as you come in her arms.
you feel almost drunk as you come down from your orgasm, nuzzling into her neck while she presses gentle kisses to your shoulder and the side of your neck. she starts to place your body on the bed before you tug her back on top of you.
"what, aren't you tired?"
"maybe, but not tired enough to stop now. take off your pants."
she grins like she'd just been offered free sweets from a piltovian candy shop for the rest of her life. you try not to giggle as she stumbles off the bed and tugs her pants off before settling her body back on top of yours. she resumes her barrage of kisses and bites into your skin, finally paying some attention to your chest while you bring your hands up to thumb at her nipples, biting your lip at how sensitive she is to the touch.
she wastes no time spreading your legs beneath you and getting your silent agreement before moving her lips to rest over yours, taking a second to drag her fingers through your cunt and stuffing them inside her mouth.
"vi!"
"sorry, was just curious." she leans down to kiss you sweetly before resting her self on you, legs draped over the curves of her arms as she oh so slowly starts to drag herself back and forth over you.
you slightly wish you had done this first as the overstimulation makes it oh so intense for you, the feeling of her hair and clit rubbing over yours nearly sending you into a frenzy. your eyes roll back into your head once she starts to speed up her movements, her soft whines and grunts into your neck only adding to the physical stimulation you're feeling.
your core feels like its on fire when you start to hear the subtle whispers she's letting out into your neck, curses of 'fuck, fuck oh-fuck,' and grunts of your name mix together to create a desperate harmony.
"vi, feels too- oh my god i-"
"i know, baby, i know," she moans, pressing a harsh bite into the underside of your neck. you can feel her smile into it when you involuntarily let out a squeal at the action. "never gonna leave you, pretty. could never leave you, leave this."
you never fancied yourself the possessive type, but the reaction you have to her words definitely proves there's something there as you wrap your hands around her shoulder and squish her down into you again, moaning just a little too loud at the lack of closeness and feeling of her chest rubbing against yours.
you can feel your next orgasm building quick and fast, thighs trembling as you desperately grind your hips into her even harder. you can tell she's close too, hips losing their rhythm as her panting gets even louder. you nudge your face to the side and rub your cheek against hers, thankful she gets the hint to smother both of your noises with an intense kiss.
"fuck, vi, missed you s'much, love this, love you-"
you're grateful that you have some semblance of brain activity left to drag her head down to your neck to bit down as she cums, her groan loud and long as she keeps moving her hips until you cum only a few seconds after she does. you can feel a tear or two escape your eyes, overstimulation so intense you think you see janna for a moment.
both of your chests are rapidly panting as you catch your breaths, dragging your hand through her sweaty hair while she presses gentle kisses over the marks she no doubt left over your chest. now you'll have to wear more layers for a while, but at the moment you cant find it in you to care.
"you have no idea how glad i am that i still have you," you almost dont pick up on the silent whisper she says, muffled by the current kisses. you lazily drag your fingers to lift her up by the chin until she's looking at you, eyes filled with nothing but love and affection.
"you're always gonna have me vi, i promise."
you can tell she has her doubts, you do as well. but she lets herself relax into your hand yet again and wears the tiniest smile while she starts to fall asleep in your embrace.
you gently pull the covers over both of your bodies and follow her into the lull of sleep, falling asleep in vi's arms again for the first time in years.
you have the nicest dreams you've had in years.

Through Me (The Flood) - secret baby fic Simon Riley / female reader - warning: postpartum depression requested by multiple: mama's family
"Where's my baby?!"
You can practically hear your teeth grinding together as you give your aunt a tight lipped smile. "He's due to get up any minute." She sighs, like it's an inconvenience, your mom hot on her heels.
"Hi honey," she says, glancing around your now pristine flat, "how are things?"
"Oh, fine." It's the same thing you've been saying this whole time. I'm fine. I'm good. Everything is great. "Went to the pediatrician the other day, Ry is perfect and healthy." You omit the rest of your news, the sudden reappearance of Simon, the stable, consistent presence in your life, the man who was supporting you in anyway he could.
Even though you absolutely do not want your mom or your aunt to meet him, let alone know about him-
you still kind of wish he was here.
He told you yesterday, regretfully, that he had meetings on base all day today, and you told him your mom and aunt were coming by, but probably wouldn't stay long. It was good, that he wouldn't be around.
Before he left for the night, he made you promise to call if you needed him. Text him to check in. You did as he asked, but didn't hear much. Not a surprise, since he said he wouldn't have a lot of time to respond, but still wanted updates.
"That's great honey." Her smile is genuine, and you know she means it. She does mean well, mostly. It's not her fault you're bad at asking for help, or that since you left home, you've become stubbornly independent. You even spent a few years "gallivanting across the globe" as your sister liked to say, shirking responsibility after uni.
Your family was used to you being a bit of a ghost.
"- don't you think?" Your aunt's voice brings you back to earth, and you nod robotically, unsure of what you're agreeing to. You're about to apologize for missing the conversation when the baby monitor on the kitchen counter lights up, Orion's fussy 'I just woke up mom, come get me' cry crackling from the speaker.
"That's for me." You joke half heartedly with a smile that doesn't reach your eyes. You know the battle with ensue as soon as you come back into the living room with the baby, and you dread it.
"Hi baby." You bend at the waist, scooping him out of his crib. "You're gettin' too heavy for mama, big boy. Don't know what I'm gonna do when you're older." The thought stops you in your tracks, the acknowledgement that he'll get older, that soon he'll be six months, and then a year, two. He'll learn to crawl, to walk, to speak. It's exciting, and anxiety inducing. What if you mess him up? What if you don't give him a good life? What if you're not a good mom, or he gets sick, or there's an accident, or an attack or-
No. You're not going to do this. You're not going to fall into these obsessive what ifs. It will only make you sick to your stomach.
You get him into a new nappy and clothes before slinking back into the living room, cowed with your head down. His head turns against your chest, seeking, and you know he's starting to realize he's hungry.
But the vultures don't care.
"Bring that boy over here, let me hold him." Your aunt croons, syrupy sick voice conjuring a roar of nausea.
"He's probably hungry." You start to warn them that this won't last long as you lower him into her arms, but you know it will fall on deaf ears. "So-"
"Just get a bottle from the fridge dear, I can feed him no problem." You fight the urge to to snap at her, unreasonable rage swelling inside your heart. No one feeds him except you, and Simon. Bottles are fine when you're asleep and can't nurse, or between feedings, but he doesn't eat as much from them. Of course, you've tried to tell them that, multiple times, but it never seems to stick. Your mom knows, but she never stands up to her older sister.
Like mother like daughter, you guess. You've never been a doormat per se, but you don't have a strongest backbone, and becoming a mom has changed you, a lot. You've become even more soft, more sensitive. It's... a problem.
"How are you feeling, honey?" You know she's asking mostly about your body, your stitches, your physical aches and pains, which were plenty considering what you went through when Ry was born, but your mom's voice is gentle, like she senses you frustration, and you give her a weak smile. It's nice she's expressing interest, but that's usually as far as it goes, unless you count the meals she's brought over that you barely picked it, not having enough energy to even feed yourself, or shower, or the suggestion that you give her the baby all the time so you could 'take a break' even though he screamed the moment he was separated from you. Not helpful. Nobody cared that you had scary thoughts, scary moments, scary days. Nobody offered to be here at night with you, when you were all alone with the baby after dark, terrified, crying in the bathroom with your face buried in a towel so you wouldn't wake him. No one was here when you were afraid you might hurt him, or yourself, and no one seemed to hear you when you shrugged over and over again, your lack of interest in everything explicitly clear.
You sucked at asking for help, so you didn't. And when you did, you never got it right, or got the right answers, so you stopped asking. Everything became fine. Good.
"Fine, good." She opens her mouth to say something, ask some question, probably about Ry, when your blood goes cold.
The sound of your front door opening rings out like a bang, your eyes widening in panic, and you nearly run to the kitchen.
Oh fuck. Oh no, no no no-
You turn in slow motion to see your baby's daddy, the man who has a key now, stepping through the doorway. As soon as you lay eyes on him, you split down the middle. You're horrified, because of what's about to happen with the two hens on the couch and-
your libido roars to life. Simon's not wearing his usual jeans or joggers and black hoodie, but a camouflage military uniform. One that he fills out, broad shoulders and broad chest fitted snug inside the material. You think you're staring. Or drooling. Or both.
His lips quirk up on one side with a secretive, almost seductive smile, and he peeks over your shoulder before turning his attention back to you. "Hey mama."
"H-hey. Uh. Hi." Your hands uselessly flit around, like you're trying to swat some invisible bugs away or something. "My mom is still here. And my aunt," you can't help yourself, you take him in from head to toe one more time, "you look... nice."
"Price makes me wear my BDU for on base meetings." He grunts, slightly exasperated. Who?
"BDU?"
"Battle dress uniform. It's... the approved, standard uniform. I don't wear it... in the field." His lips press together, and your mind wanders, curious questions about 'the field' popping up like fireworks, but you push them away. Now is definitely not the right time. His thumb brushes your cheek, under your eye, and he frowns. "Everything alright?"
You step to the side, motioning to the living room, where your aunt and mother are whispering fiercely. You roll your shoulders, and take a deep breath. "Do you... want to, say hi?" The question is weak, your voice small. His brow furrows. He looks hesitant, and you don't blame him. They're a lot. It's a lot. He glances down at you again, head tilted in consideration. "Or you could just go. If you ran out that door... well I'd only wish I could come with you." You whisper, and he cracks a smile.
"No. 'm not runnin' from any part of you, sweetheart. C'mon. They can't be worse than..." he trails off, odd look in his eyes before it clears, "they can't be worse than a lot of things."
He follows you around the corner of the kitchen, crossing the threshold of the living room with two large strides.
Your mother gasps. Your aunt makes a sound that you can only describe as a goose being strangled, and Orion starts to cry. Perfect.
"Oh, oh shhh, shhhh." Your aunt tries to soothe him, but you know it won't work.
"Mom," you call over the noise, gesturing to the giant man standing next to your coffee table, and you, "Mom! This is Simon." She stares at you, confused, shocked even. You never told her your one night stand's name, just that you couldn't track him down, so she doesn't make the connection.
Still, she gapes at him. Clears her throat with a question.
"Is this... your boyfriend honey?" Your aunt's expression is not much different, and you freeze. Is he? Is that what this is? You half expect Simon to reject the term boyfriend flat out, but instead-
"Something like that." His hand settles between your shoulder blades, and you lean into it, relishing the comfort. Just the presence of him in the flat is enough to soothe you, lessen the tension you feel building in your chest. "Sounds like he's hungry, mama."
"Yeah, I think he's more than ready." You reach for Ry, eager to pick him up, but your aunt shifts her body, shying away, turning her shoulder to you. You're used to this, the keep away, the way they always try to convince you he'll calm down, to let them hold him for too long, to get him a bottle... but Simon is not.
He goes rigid at your side. You can feel the muscle in his arm turn to stone, and his eyes narrow, upper lip curling. Your mother's eyes go wide, but your aunt remains oblivious. "I can feed him, dear. Go get a bottle warmed up and-"
"No." Simon snaps, rough pitch of his voice dipping deeper into the manc accent, and she bristles. This bitch wouldn't be scared of the devil himself.
"Excuse me?" You watch the muscle in his jaw flex with fascination, wondering what he'll do next. You're brought back to when you met, when he stared down the guy who pushed you out of the way at the bar like he was going to murder him, before calling you over to settle next to his thigh. He put his hand on your waist, shielded you from everyone else for the rest of the night.
You were a goner before you ever had a chance to begin.
"Orion wants his mother. You can hand him over without a fuss, or I can throw you out of this flat. Your choice." His words are hard, cold steel, a sharp knife slicing away, exposing vulnerable parts and smashing them to pieces.
Your aunt has the gall to look scandalized, but when you glance at your mother, she has a different expression. It's warm. Approving. She mets your eyes with a small smile as you scoop Orion up, and then she stands.
"We'll get out of your hair, honey." She tugs you into a half hug before looking over. "Nice to meet you Simon." Your aunt is ranting and raving all the way to your front door, but once it's shut...
"Bloody hell." He mutters, and shakes his head. "I won't let anyone push you 'round like that, sweetheart. Family or not. Especially not in your own home, I-"
"Thank you." It's all you can say. "I um, kind of suck at sticking up for myself, sometimes. It means a lot, that you would do that. For me." He steps close, hand covering Orion's belly and chest, even though he's still crying.
"Kitten doesn't have any claws," he murmurs against your ear, and your eyebrows knit together. Uh... what? "Don't worry, you won't need 'em. Not now that you have me." There's something dangerous in his tone, something lethal and profound. Itâs as fervid as his proclamation about his commitment to you, to Orion. Like dark water, bottomless and black, it draws you out deeper, sends shivers up your spine, but doesn't turn you away. It makes you curious, intrigued, desperate to peel back his layers, to dig into him until you know it all, inside and out.
Curiosity killed the cat, isnât that what they say?
You weren't afraid of him that night, and you're not afraid now. You know Simon is not an ordinary man. You know you've bitten off a lot, by having his baby, rekindling this connection, giving him a key-
but you plan to chew.

"Who's your new teacher?" (Part 3)
Synopsis: Toji takes Megumi to his doctor's appointment, and you, his teacher, hunt for a gift to give him.
Pairing: single dad! toji x f! reader
Contains: plenty of fluff, crack, megumi is four, tsumiki is seven, toji is still toji (but like he's soft for his kids and he takes care of them), reader is a preschool teacher, reader and toji are around the same age, protective toji, protective tsumiki, megumi being scared of doctors, mentions of shiu kong, everyone is happy bc i said so
part one here, part two here
a/n: here's part three! barely proofread. sorry for mistakes.
update: pt. 4 here
--- --- --- --- ---
Though Megumi said that he would be brave, Toji Fushiguro knew his baby all too well. In the waiting room of the doctorâs office, Megumi sat stiffly beside him, clinging his dog plushie way too tightâan obvious sign that he was scared. Tojiâs heart aches within his chest, and once he finishes filling out the paperwork for him, he sets the clipboard aside and pulls the small boy onto his lap. âMegs, itâs okay, I promise. We wonât be here long, alright? No scary shots.â
His eyes fill with tears, and he buries his face into Tojiâs shirt with a distressed whine. Tsumikiâwho was sitting next to Shiu and playing a game on his phone to pass the timeâimmediately lifts her head once her ears register the sound of her little brother crying, and she hands Shiu his phone back before coming to stand in front of the two of them. Toji moves an arm so she can inch her way closer to Megumi.
âDonât worry, Gumi, weâre here,â she coos softly as she wraps an arm around Megumiâs free side, so he was being comforted by her and Toji at the same time. âMe and Papa wonât leave you alone, okay? Weâre right here. You can hold my hand the entire time.âÂ
A middle-aged man sitting across from them sighs loudly in annoyance, and Toji looks up in time to see him rolling his eyes at Megumiâs little sniffles. âOh, câmon, itâs not that big of a deal. Besides, boys donât cry.â
The concern that Toji feels for his son is immediately replaced with sheer rage, his blood boiling as he squeezes his hand into a tight fist. Heâs about to open his mouth to say something, but his seven year-old daughter beats him to it. Tsumiki whirls around angrily, meeting the assholeâs stare head on. âNobody asked you, stupid head!!â She yells.
The manâs eyes go wide, the receptionist at the front desk gasps, and a few of the other patients in the waiting room either stifle a laugh or turn the other direction. The man looks at Toji, as if expecting him to intervene on his behalf and correct his daughter. Instead, he pats Tsumikiâs shoulder and stares at him with a small smirk. âYou heard her,â he tells him, his voice dark with warning. âStupid head.âÂ
He mustâve seen the utter violence in Tojiâs eyes, because he chooses not to say anything else. Toji looks over to see Shiu giving Tsumiki a high-five. Then, Toji gives her shoulder a small, loving squeeze. âThatâs my girl.âÂ
To his relief, Megumiâwho had watched the exchange silentlyâhad finished crying and was a little bit calmer. Though heâs done crying, Tojiâs little blessing decides to remain in his lap, smiling up at his sister when she turns back around to hug him some more. He notices Megumi taking slower breaths, and holding up his little fingers to count the seconds as they go by.Â
As he silently counts to himself, a memory from three weeks ago floods Tojiâs mind. You, sitting on the ground next to Megumi, explaining a good tactic to calm himself down after crying and experiencing stress for too long. âBreathe in for four seconds,â you explained in a soft voice, holding up your fingers in front of him to count. âThen youâre going to hold for seven seconds, and finally, breathe out slowly to last eight seconds.âÂ
Now that heâs thinking of you, Toji smiles, wondering if it would be awkward or not to send you a message after Megumiâs appointment. Just what did you like to do after work?
â
â...What?!â You shout into the phone, your heart pounding as you pace back and forth in your living room.Â
âUh, sorry,â the store clerk on the other line says, gulping nervously around their words. âWeâre unable to put this item on hold for you.âÂ
Your head is spinning. You think youâre about to throw up. Your eyes drift back to your laptop which displays the email announcing the special, limited edition of the dog plushie Megumi hasâa bright white one, matching the dark-colored one that he kept with him all of the time.Â
You subscribed to the brandâs website around a month ago, and had been keeping an eye out for it to drop so you could get one for him. Since it dropped this afternoon shortly after all of your students had gone home, you immediately knew that it would be the perfect gift after his doctorâs appointment. For the last three hours, you had been calling store after store, only to be met with disappointment when customer service revealed that they were completely sold out. It was a popular plushie, after all. You finally found a store that had the plushie in stock, butâ
âHow come you canât put it on hold?!â You exclaimed. âIâve never heard of something like this before!âÂ
âUm, well, since the plushie is a special edition item, they canât be ordered from the store or put on hold, just so everyone has a chance to get one. It has to be fair.âÂ
Youâre shoving your shoes on, using your shoulder to hold the phone to your ear as you grab your keys and purse. âOkay, how many are left?âÂ
âI believe just one. They sold out super fast today.âÂ
You didnât care what had to happen. You were getting that damn plushie for Megumi.Â
â
You thank every deity that you didnât get pulled over, and that you didnât get into an accident. You pull into the storeâs parking lot, run out of your car, skip the cart, and go straight towards the toy section. The store is busy this evening, and that worries you. You hope that youâre not too late. When you reach the aisle where the plushie is supposed to be located, you skillfully maneuver your way through the crowd of parents and kids. You are a teacher, after all.Â
You see the stand where the special edition plushie is supposed to be, and your heart sinks when you see that itâs completely empty. You groan as you walk down the next aisle of toys away from the crowd, reaching into your purse to grab your phone. Maybe thereâs another store nearby, or even about thirty minutes away with at least three of them in stock. Maybeâ
A brightly-colored package barely sticking out from underneath the rest of the stuffed animals in a large bin gets your attention. You shove your phone back into your purse, then dig into the bin, pulling out stuffed animal after stuffed animal until you reach it. You gasp, then pull out the last special edition dog plushie. Luckily for you, itâs not damaged. You squeal in victory, already excitedly imagining what little Megumiâs reaction is going to be like once you deliver it to him tomorrow. You check the price of it, and wince. Definitely a special item. Youâre definitely going to have to dip into your savings account.Â
It doesnât matter. The smile on Gumi's face will be worth it. You know that much.Â
As youâre transferring money from your savings account to your checking account, you hear footsteps approach the aisle youâre standing in. âShiu, Iâm telling ya, itâs supposed to be here, but it isnât. You sure you called the right store? I swear, this shit-â You look up to see Toji, who comes to a complete stop once he sees you, his eyes widening in shock.Â
Oh.Â

youâre seven years old and barefoot on the beach of yaoguang shoal with sand between your toes and salt-brushed wind in your hair when ningguang makes her first and only promise to you.
âwhen we grow up, iâll marry you.â
the words are big, heavy on her childâs tongue but she speaks them with conviction nonetheless. her hands are laced with yours, your small fingers slotting perfectly with one another. the sunset makes her eyes glow like how you imagine the amber does at jueyun karst. youâre too young, too childish to really understand the weight of her vowâbut you nod with a smile, squeezing her hands tighter.
âiâll wait for you,â you say, hoping she can hear the sincerity in your voice. itâs a foolish hope, because you know that ningguang knows you better than you even know yourself. she returns your smile with one of her own, her hand never leaving yours as you walk back to your village, the sunset at your backs. the light paints ningguang in gold, and you canât help but think at seven years old that this is how things should beâhand in hand with the girl you know you love before you even knew the meaning of the word, barefoot together in the sand.
youâre seven years old when you learn how things should be, but youâre fifteen years old when you learn how things are.
ningguang leaves for the city. she tells you before she goes, of course, holds you close as you weep selfishly into her shoulder. her hands are gentle as she sifts them through your hair, along your scalp and down the nape of your neck before wrapping around your slim, hunger-carved shoulders. i have to go, sheâd said, or else how will i afford our wedding? and youâd wanted to tell her that it didnât matter at all what kind of wedding you had, as long as she stayed with youâthat all the riches in the world are worthless without her. but for as much as she knows you, you know her, and you know that ningguang is not to be deterred once she sets her mind on something, so you send her off with a delicately packed mora meat and a prayer in your heart that sheâll come back soon.
youâre fifteen years old when you learn how things are, and youâre twenty-one years old when you learn how things will be.
itâs been six years since ningguang left. even in the backwater village you call home, tales of ningguangâs exploits reach your ears. how she runs circles around liyueâs businessmen and businesswomen, how she effortlessly finds her place amidst liyueâs social elite, how sheâs rising, rising, rising like an unstoppable eclipsing star. she keeps writing to you, always keeping you updated on her progress, and you always write back, filling your letters with the mundanity of your day-to-day lifeâabout the way the glaze lillies have been blooming, or about the way everyone around you says youâd make a fine wife.
my parents are getting restless, you confess in one letter. iâm getting older, and they think i should get married soon.
the reply that returns the next week is simple, but succint. i havenât forgotten. wait for me, please. and you know she hasnât, which is why it kills you when your new husband forbids you from ever writing to her again. you weep yourself to sleep on your side of the bed for the next week following your wedding night. the distress of wonderingâif ningguang is worried, if sheâs upset, or worse, if sheâs hurt by youâdrives you near insane to the point you worry yourself sick. your husband only tells you to stop holding on to naive childhood promises and perform your duties as a wife. it is the only thing you are good for, now.
youâre twenty-one years old when you learn how things will be, but youâre twenty-nine when you learn that things can change.
in the years you have been married, your husband has grownânot in character, but in wealth. he is rich enough, now, to take you and himself from your village and to the big city to further his business. a small spark flickers to life in your chest that you might see her again, but it fizzles out when your husband makes it clear that you are just to stay at home. you donât have to worry your pretty little head about anything other than the house, heâd said. iâll give you everything you need. and you know better than to argue with him, so you resign yourself to staying at home, spending your days gazing up at that palace in the sky and wondering if its lady even remembers youâor if she, like you, has decided to let go of naive childhood promises. after all, she has the world now, can see it from the edges of her floating sanctuary. what need has she of the memory of being barefoot in the sand at seven years old?
(selfishly, you pray she hasnât forgotten, even if she has no need for remembrance. you pray she chooses to remember.)
change comes when a woman in a white fur jacket and the prettiest emerald eyes youâve ever seen breaks into your house. itâs certainly a very unorthodox meeting, and you come dangerously close to throwing the knife you were using to finely dice some cabbage at her. the woman only laughs, nimbly prying it from your hands and setting it on the counter. before you can even ask her what in rex lapisâs name sheâs doing in your house, she says the words that make your blood run cold.
the tianquan wants to see you.
ningguang wants to see you.
the woman promptly leaves after delivering her message and additionally telling you not to breath a word of it to your husband, leaving you standing in your kitchen reeling from the shock. the mora meat you were working on putting together is forgotten as you swallow your nerves and take the chance youâve waited nine years for. youâre nearly sick with it by the time youâve ascended to the jade chamber in all of its opulence, feeling like you stick out like a sore thumb.
but the moment you see ningguang again, everything else fades to white noise. archons, sheâs as beautiful as the day you last saw her. she was lovely dressed in commonerâs clothes, and she is just as lovely dressed in finery no doubt worth more than a yearâs worth of your rent. she will never be anything other than lovely in your eyes.
âitâs been a while,â she says softly, the first to break the silence. you nearly cry at finally hearing her voice again. instead, you stifle it with a wet chuckle.
âonly took fourteen years.â
ningguang manages a small laugh, lips curving upward in a smile you knowâyou rememberâis reserved only for you. she offers you a seat by her desk, and two secretaries file in to place a tea set down by both of you, before disappearing as quickly as they came. and then ningguang is telling you about the real reason she asked to see you; your husband, as you are quite unsurprised, is involved with some sort of fraud, and the prosecutionâthe tianquanâs officeâneeds a witness. namely, you. after all, who better than the wife of the man himself? you try not to let your disappointment show, though, and you bite your tongue to stop yourself from asking her if she remembersâor worse, if she missed you. your conversation with her is pure business, and when you descend from the chamber later, itâs only with the taste of sweet tea on your tongue and half your heart; the other half you seem to have left with her, up in the clouds.
your husband, to his displeasure and rage, finds himself in millelith custody the very next day. and the very next week, you, to your pleasure and joy, find yourself lacking a husband. the millelith who take him away politely point you to an office down the street ran by a pink-haired half-adeptus, who takes care of your divorce affairs with a cheery smile in less than four days. youâre both scared and impressedâis this just how people move in the big cityâŠ? you donât have time to dwell on the question, because unfortunately, without your husband you are also without your income, and without your income you are also without your house. which would be a very big problem; were it not for the fact that ningguang once again invites you to the jade chamber, but this time, to stay with her. you nearly decline because of the sheer insanity of the request, but the part of your heart there with her wins out. you relent, and now, you find yourself playing house with the tianquan of the liyue qixing.
itâs almost frightening, how quickly you fall back into old habits. ningguang, you find, hasnât changed much. she is still whip-smart, still as cunning as she is devious, but she is still just as kind as she was before. something in you aches viscerally when you see the way she speaks with the children, offering them candies and goodies as she goes. (things neither of you had the luxury in indulging as children.) you smile and tell her, you havenât changed at all. she only looks at you and returns it with, have you? the answer eluded you at the time, but thinking about it more, you would say that yes, i have. but the parts that loved you never did.
(you donât say this out loud, of course. itâs too early, and the chasm of years between you both yawns achingly large. but by the glint of her eyes, you think she knows. and if she didnât, the time and care she spent relearning you would have told her as well.)
since youâre not sure how long ningguang will let you stay, you decide to make the most of it. youâre almost thankful for the nine dull years you spent with your former husbandâsince at the very least, it taught you how to be a half decent wife. itâs all youâre good for now, after all. ningguangâs meals are cooked by you, and youâre the one who brings her tea in the afternoons and evenings. you talk with her over your cups like nothing ever happened, and you walk with her round the perimeter of the jade chamber as the sun sets, her hand close enough to hold. rumors dance in the wind like dandelions about the tianquanâs new companion; some call you an old friend, others, a lover. the answer is somehow both, yet neither. she is everything to you, and more.
(and you are everything to her and more. the infinte she has been searching for her whole life is right there in your eyes. it always has been.)
youâre twenty nine years old when you realise things can change, and youâre thirty years old when you remember how things should be.
ningguang takes a rare day off, and invites you on a little excursion to yaoguang shoal. itâs been a year since you started living with her. a year since youâve been freed from a man you never loved, and a year since youâve come to realise that itâs because youâre still in love with ningguangâand that perhaps, you never stopped. itâs not as difficult as an epiphany to come to terms with, but it does make your chest ache every time you look at her. especially now, in this place, where the waves carry salt-brushed wind and memories of a distant time. the sun hangs low in the sky, and ningguang is kicking off her heels, barefoot in the sand. all of a sudden youâre seven years old again, watching her watch the waves and wondering if her eyes glow the same like the amber at jueyun karst. you slip your own footwear off too, standing by her side in the sand, the water lapping at your ankles. she speaks first.
âi still remember,â she murmurs, and your heart catches in your throat. when she looks at you, itâs with all the bare innocence she looked at you with twenty-three years ago. âdo you?â
âof course,â you answer, without a beat of hesitation. âhow could i forget?â how could i forget you?
ningguang smiles. âthen you remember what i promised you here?â
âyes,â you breathe. âi remember.â
the woman before you exhales, the sound nearly drowned out by the sigh of the waves as they crash onto the shore. her geo vision glimmers, and a crystalline box manifests in her handsâher hands that tremble as they open it, revealing a simple golden band inside. âwill you forgive me for taking so long?â she whispers, and you clasp your hands over her own, steadying them. you rest your forehead against hers, caught halfway between a sob and a laugh.
âi would have waited for you forever, ningguang.â
she exhales again. catches her breath. âthen, will you let me fulfill my promise and marry me?â
you answer her with the only possible answer, catching her lips in a kiss twenty-three years in the making.
yes.

main masterlist f1 masterlist
You forgot how to breathe for a few moments when his crash was shown on the screen, you immediately felt a cold blanket of fear cover you as you brought your hand to cover your mouth, year eyes blurring with unshed tears. You've seen many crashes before so you could tell that this crash was bad, and your mind immediately jumped to the worst conclusions. You only looked away from the screen when you felt a soft hand on your shoulder, you blinked away your tears and looked at Max who was giving you a small smile, but you could see the worry in his eyes for his best friend.Â
âDon't worry, you know lando he's going to be fineâ Max nodded, moving to turn his body so you would be out of the sight of the camera that would definitely try to pan to you to see your reaction. âLando Norrisâs Girlfriends reaction to His Las Vegas gp crashâ Max could already see the headlines and all the tweets of your reaction all over the internet. You sniffle and do your best to give him a smile
âYeah of courseâ Â
You didn't believe your words or maxâs.Â
Max and Pietra didn't want to leave you alone, especially after the news of lando immediately being sent to the hospital came out, but you had reassured them that you were fine being alone in landoâs room in the garage, telling them to continue to watch the race. You couldn't watch any more of the race, feeling nauseous as you watched the cars continue and Lando's wrecked car being towed away, pieces of the car being cleaned up. The sweet couple had only left you alone when your phone rang, a call from landoâs mother.Â
You had calmed down a little as you talked with Cisca, you loved Lando's mother so much, and even though she was also worried, she reassured you that her son would be fine. The two of you stayed on the phone for a while until she had to go, ending the call with a i love you and letting her know that you would keep her updated on any news you would get. And as soon as the call ended those fearful thoughts came back.Â
You tried to busy yourself, cleaning up his room a little and hanging up Lando's clothes that he previously wore and didn't hang up, not wanting them to get wrinkly. But by the time you were done, there was still no news, so you sat on the small couch, your leg absentmindedly bouncing as you tried to focus on anything in the room other than your thoughts. You got bored staring at the wall, so you distracted yourself with a game lando had downloaded on your phone, claiming that he had no more room on his phone.Â
You looked away from the bottom of the screen of your phone that was filled with the bright colors of the game and to the top when you heard the familiar ding of a text. It was from a number you didn't have saved, but you quickly pressed on the notification. It was a picture of Lando smiling at the hospital, the message under the picture letting her know that Lando was fine and would be coming back soon. You knew it was someone from McLaren who texted you, Lando must have given them your number since his phone was in his bag next to you. You quickly thanked them.Â
You turned your phone off with a relieved sigh now that you knew that your boyfriend was okay, but that worry and fear still didn't go away, if anything you became more anxious. He didn't get hurt, this time. Every time he gets into that car there is a chance that he would get hurt, it makes you dizzy the longer you think of it. You remembered the talk you had with Cisca when you and lando first started dating, you had asked her how she copes with the fear of lando getting hurt or worse in the car. She had explained that the fear never leaves, you just become better at dealing with it. You had felt reassured and scared at the same time by her words.Â
You quickly texted Cisca letting her know that lando is okay, sending her the picture as well. A small smile forming on your lips when she responds saying âhe's so sillyâ. You really wished he was here already, you lean your head back against the couch, your fidgeting fingers folding on your lap so you could stop picking at the skin around your nails, a bad habit you thought you had gotten rid of.Â
You tried to think of anything positive as you waited for your boyfriend to come back, hoping that the time would move faster. You thought of the vacation you, Lando and your friends would be going on after the season ends, you thought about how nice it's going to be waking up with him every day in your shared apartment. You missed the domestic life you had with Lando during the off season. He missed it too.Â
Your eyes flustered opened, and your head snapped up at the sound of the door to the room opening. Your eyes immediately go to the door, and you are quick to your feet when you see your boyfriend open the door and quickly shut it behind him, his arms already open for you. You rush to his arms, wrapping your arms around his waist and squeezing your eyes shut as you basically shoved your face in his neck. Lando smiles and wraps his arms around your shoulders, holding you tight, his eyes shutting as well as the both of you just basking in the feeling of being in each other's arms again.Â
You held onto him tighter, but not too tight because you worried it might hurt him. Feeling his heartbeat against you and the image of his crash replaying through your head and remembering the fear you felt brought tears to your eyes. You nestled your face against his neck, the feeling of your nose brushing against his neck almost made him laugh, the smile on his lips turned to a frown when he heard you sniffle, holding in your tears.Â
âPlease don't cry darling, Iâm okayâ Lando whispered as he brought one of his hands under your shirt, his warm hand caressing the skin on your back. He could tell that you were doing your best to hold it in, you hated seeing him hurt, he knew that crash wasn't easy for you to watch, and he hated that he was the one making you so worried. Your voice comes out muffled against his neck as your refused to let him go âI was so scared Lando.âÂ
âI know baby, i knowâ Lando mumbled, bringing his other hand to the back of your nape to softly pull you back from his neck so he could see your face. You opened your eyes to look up into his and Lando felt his heart string get pulled when he saw the tears in your eyes, he hated seeing you cry. Lando moved his hand from your nape to cup your cheek, his thumb softly caressing your cheek âDarling, Iâm okay I promise.âÂ
âYou promiseâ you asked as your eyes searched for signs in his eyes and face that he wasn't okay. Lando didn't like not being the best he could be, and he didn't like worrying you. He wouldn't lie to you; he would just try to protect you from the truth. Lando smiles and leans down, softly kissing your lips between his words âI promise darlingâ he rested his forehead against yours as he reluctantly pulled away from your lips.Â
You moved your hands from his shoulders and trailed them down to his arms where you softly gripped onto them and pulled him towards the couch, wanting him to rest as much as he could before the two of you could get back to the hotel. Lando sat on the couch, and you were quick to nestle yourself into his side, his arm around your shoulder and your arm around his stomach and your head on his chest.Â
âBaby i'm not going to disappear if you let goâ Lando chuckles once he feels you squeeze him again, as if you were checking that he truly was there. You frown at the thought and find yourself clinging to him tighter, one of your legs moving to drape over one of his knees, wanting to be as close to your boyfriend as you can âI don't want to take the chance.âÂ
âDon't worry darling, you're stuck with meâ Lando smiled fondly as he thought of his future with you, he brushed your hair out of your face and placed a soft and long kiss on your forehead. You smiled and started to absentmindedly move your hand up and down landoâs side in a soothing motion that always calmed lando down âI like the sound of that.âÂ
âYou know what I like the sound of?â Lando asked you as he moved his hand that wasn't on your shoulder to your thigh, gently squeezing it. You hummed and tilted your head up to look at him, waiting for his answer. Lando could hear the faint loudness of everything going on outside the room they were in, and he desperately wanted the two of you away from the loudness. He didn't want to admit it but he was also still a little shaken up from his crash, but he wanted to put on a brave face for you. He smiled down at you âMe, you, our hotel bed, and room service.âÂ
âThe things I would do for some French friesâ you playfully groaned as you shook your head, Lando's idea sounded amazing, the two of you snuggled up in bed watching a movie as you ate. Lando smirked and he rubbed your thigh as he whispered teasingly in your ear âTell me more.âÂ
âLando!â You exclaimed with a shy smile, hiding your face in his chest, feeling flustered from his seductive and teasing tone. Lando laughs loudly, throwing his head back against the couch, very much enjoying your bashfulness. You pout and sit up straight from leaning against him, watching as he laughs at your expense, your boyfriend always did love to tease you.Â
You give him a deadpan look once he lifts his head up to give you a smile âI hate you so much.âÂ
âNo, you donâtâ Lando smiles cheekily and before you could respond, he brought his hand that was resting on your shoulder to the back of your nape, pulling you down for a much-desired kiss. You let out a hum of surprise at the quick movement, but you close your eyes and move your hand from his side to cup his cheek, tilting your head and deepening the kiss.Â
You only pull away from the kiss for a moment to catch your breath, but Lando was eager to lock your lips back into a kiss, trailing his hand down from your nape to your back, pressing your body against his. You let Lando take control of the kiss, your mouth parting and his tongue slipping in. As much as you loved to kiss your boyfriend, you really didn't want to get caught making out with him in his room. So, you reluctantly pull away from the kiss, whispering breathlessly against his lips with a smile.Â
âYeah, your right, I donâtâÂ

stray kids soulmate aus | k. seungmin <3
a/n: these days i am QUITE the seungmin simp & it shows :,-) i had a lot of fun writing a very classic kpop fic meet-cute with this one ! if you need me, i'll be watching seungmin compilations <333 pics not mine~
content:Â fluff, soulmate au |Â wc:Â 1.9k |Â warnings:Â none really! |Â pairing:Â soulmate!seungmin x gn!reader |Â requests:Â open
âĄÂ chan | minho | changbin | hyunjin | jisung | felix | seungmin | jeongin âĄ
on your 18th birthday, you receive a stack of sticky notes on which you can write to your soulmate. there is one note for every day leading up to when you meet.
ËÊâĄÉË
you settled into your desk chair, eager to see what anecdote seungmin has chosen for you today. it was always a thrill to get a peek into his daily life, and it was especially entertaining when he removed context from the situation to make you laugh. over the years, he developed a knack for telling stories just the way you liked them.Â
we went shopping today, in that area that always smells like ice cream cone batter. i bought a cool phone case. you better compliment me on it when we meet. i know itâs only ten days away, but i encourage you to put a reminder on your calendar, so you donât forget to appreciate my taste in accessories.Â
-yours, seungminÂ
you scoffed. he was always extra sassy when he was excited about something. you tapped your pen against your desk, devising the perfect reply to seungminâs daily update.
i promise iâll tell you the phone case is cool, if and only if it actually is. we must be on the same wavelength because i went shopping today too (it didnât smell like ice cream cone batter where i was though). i picked out new clothes for the day we meet, so you better compliment me on it as soon as you see me. should we make a joint calendar event since youâre quite forgetful?
-yours, y/n
not even 30 seconds passed when you saw seungminâs handwriting appear near the bottom of the sticky note. you smiled, feeling his playful energy infect you.
like a wise person said, iâll tell you the outfit is cool, if and only if it actually is. iâd love to make a joint calendar event, but we canât share contact information yet, remember? iâll have to trust you wonât forget the phone caseâŠi guess thatâs more important than remembering a basic rule about soulmates, so iâll have faith in you :-)Â
-yours, seungmin
with another roll of your eyes, you wrote your last message to seungmin for the night.
you test my patience, kim seungmin. get some rest now. i know youâre working hard on your comeback, so iâll be rooting for you!Â
-yours, y/n
you smiled at the tiny heart seungmin drew in the bottom corner of the page before you peeled the sticky note off the stack. electricity ran through you every time you noticed how much it shrank. soon, very soon, you would be teased by seungmin in person. you hoped that youâd deliver the perfect eye roll in response to his snarky comments, as a way to show him you truly loved him.
staring at the note, seungmin laughed at his desk, right when felix walked by.
âwhatâd y/n say?â
ânone of your business.â
despite the nature of the retort, seungminâs tone was lighthearted. felix laughed and left seungmin alone to place the completed sticky note in his not-so-secret box, where he kept every word youâve ever exchanged safe from the rest of the world.
ËÊâĄÉË
hi soulmate~ letâs see if our tastes match. tell me your ideal meet-cute.
-yours, seungmin
you felt a blush on your skin at seungminâs cute tone. you imagined he was feeling particularly sweet as your meeting was only three days away. you took your time mentally ranking the best meet-cutes youâd witnessed in books, movies, tv, and real life.
hi seungmin~ there are a lot of good ones, but i have to stick with the classic: locking eyes across a crowded room. whatâs yours?
-yours, y/n
you stared at the note, eager to see whether seungmin had a romantic side after all. you laughed in disbelief when you read his answer.
wow, no âhi soulmate~â? rude :-( my favorite trope is spilling coffee on someone. iâd enjoy that as long as iâm not the one getting spilled on. letâs hope your outfit isnât too cool!
-yours, seungmin
you imagined seungmin was laughing at his own joke, which balanced out his vague threat to spill coffee on you.
youâre such a menace :-( iâm about to revoke âsoulmateâ from your nicknames, as a matter of principle.Â
-yours, y/n
seungmin, despite himself, blushed at the thought of you having different nicknames picked out for him. his heart fluttered, feeling extra sweet because of you.
iâm YOUR menace. see you soon! iâll be the handsome man holding two coffees <3
-yours, seungminÂ
you sighed, knowing there was a real chance heâd carry two coffees around that whole day. if there was one thing about seungmin, heâd commit to the bit.Â
iâll run away from you, and i hope you spill one of the coffees on yourself while you chase me. at least weâll be matching <3
-yours, y/n
from miles away, you and seungmin laughed at the same time. similarly, you both played out different meet-cute scenarios for the rest of the night. seungmin would never admit this to you, but heâd love to see the excited look on your face if your chosen meet-cute was what fate had in store.
ËÊâĄÉË
though you returned home later than usual, you were still surprised to see the sticky note halfway filled up by the time you sat at your desk.Â
my schedules start before sunrise tomorrow, so i have to go to bed early, like a grandpa. chan says this is a good time to go to bedâŠwhat else would we expect though? anyways, iâm sorry i wonât get to write back tonight. tell me about your day! iâll read it as soon as i wake up. i promise. :-)
sleep well, and iâll see you tomorrow~
-yours, seungmin
your heart sank a little at the fact you wouldnât be able to interact directly with seungmin the night before the long-awaited day. however, the butterflies in your stomach reminded you that there was plenty to be excited about.
hi soulmate~ iâm jealous youâre sleeping so early. i was out late because i had to get everything ready before attending the live show recording tomorrow (i still canât believe i won that ticket lottery!). iâm worried i wonât be able to sleep well from the excitement.Â
donât forget about my outfit! just look for the best-dressed person and youâll find me :-)
iâll be sending you the strength to get through your schedules! i canât wait to see you tomorrow~
-yours, y/n
you smiled to yourself, feeling in your heart that seungmin would start his day off happy, as you finally gave him the greeting heâd been waiting for.
ËÊâĄÉËÂ
from the second he read your note, seungmin couldnât wipe the smile from his face. everyone noticed the way he beamed, so it didnât take long for them to put together that heâd be meeting you today. his members were painfully obvious about trying to catch a glimpse of you wherever they went. seungmin was in such a good mood that he didnât even tease them that much.Â
realizing that the live show recording was almost definitely where youâd meet, seungmin noticed that his palms were sweatier than normal. he shook them out, taking deep breaths to calm his heart rate. this may not have been the first stage for their new song, but it was the first stage youâd be at, so the stakes were high.Â
despite the nerves from the night before, you were happily enjoying yourself at the show. of course, every performance was incredible, and the crowd was energetic. by the time there was only one act left, you felt your body start to grow tired. an adrenaline rush hit you full force, however, when you saw the name âstray kidsâ light up the stage.
jaw dropped, you were silent while the rest of the crowd screamed. your eyes raced to find seungmin. he was on the opposite end of the stage, giving you at least a chance at composing yourself before he saw your face. the music started, and you joined the crowdâs cheers. seungminâs stage presence and vocals in person were breathtaking, and you felt a swell of pride knowing that your soulmate was so talented.
as though he could sense you were thinking of him, seungmin turned his head to the area where you stood. the second you locked eyes, seungmin grinned like an excited puppy. he waved to you, feeling giddy enough to make a heart with his hands. you matched his energy, smiling widely and bouncing from the magic of it all. there he was, just across the room, saying âhiâ to you and only you.
per the instructions seungmin mouthed from the stage, you waited in your seat for a bit until a staff member brought you backstage. despite the recording being done, the halls were crowded with bustling employees and idols alike. all of the noise was drowned out by someone calling your name.
âhey y/n! i like your outfit!â
you turned around, seeing seungmin waving again. he beamed, and you rushed over to him.Â
âyou remembered!â
seungmin laughed at your excitement, âi did forget my coffee though. it looks like your meet-cute won in the end.â
his eyes twinkled as he looked at you. rather than feeling nervous, you two chattered endlessly. you giggled at the way seungmin blushed when you complimented his performance. in turn, seungmin giggled at the way you blushed when he called you pretty. being able to have a conversation that exceeded the character limit of a sticky note left both of you with the zoomies, much to the entertainment of seungminâs eavesdropping members.Â
âseungmin!â hyunjin yelled from a suspiciously nearby spot, âwe have to leave soon!â hyunjin waved at you, âhi y/n!â
you waved back, and seungmin told you to ignore hyunjin, which made you laugh. as you exchanged contact information, you kept your promise and examined seungminâs phone case.
âi like your phone case, seungmin! it matches your style perfectly,â you pointed at the object in his hand.
âthank you!â seungmin grinned for the umpteenth time that day, proudly holding the phone out for you to see, âthis is the best part, if you ask me.â
you were surprised to see a sticky note in the back of his phone case. you leaned closer to examine it, and you felt a wave of fondness wash over you. in his hand, seungmin held one of your earliest sticky notes. on it, you had drawn a picture of what you thought seungmin looked like, purely based on how he wrote. you were way off, which you learned once you saw a picture of him online. it did accurately capture seungminâs personality, though, so seungmin was quite proud of your artistry.Â
âitâs a one-of-a-kind drawing, so i wanted to show it off.â
seungminâs tone was teasing, but you could feel the compliment, âyouâre so sweet, seungmin! maybe i should have a matching one?â
he nodded, âi better see the portrait i drew of you in your phone case next time i see you.â
you laughed, âunderstood! i feel chan staring at us, so you should get going. call me when you get home?â
âof course!â seungmin smiled, âpromise me one more thing?â
âhmm,â you feigned deep thought, âit depends on what it is.â
ânext time you come to watch us perform, sit by my side of the stage.â
âonly if i can see lee know too.â
seungmin glared at you momentarily, breaking into a laugh because he was so endeared by the pout you gave in response. after you said your goodbyes, you watched seungmin bound down the hall to meet his members. before he went around the corner, he turned to wave to you again, mouthing goodbye, soulmate!

FAQ & General Update
âWhy havenât there been any new posts in a long time?â âIs this project dead?â âTrevor get off your ass you lazy hackâ
This project isnât dead! Two major factors have contributed to the relative silence of updates:
1) For the past year, Iâve been taking care of my infant son as the primary at-home caregiver. That wonât mean anything to people who have not been parents, and it wouldnât have meant anything to me before having a kid, but it turns out that keeping a baby happy, healthy, and entertained is a major drain on your time and energy. Additionally, my office/studio/workspace is also the room he sleeps in (I live in a two-bedroom apartment) so I am limited with how much I can do at night.
2) As many of you know, in June, Fleshpit fans showed up in force to fund the TTRPG kickstarter. In response, Iâve been busy working through a multi-page list of illustrations for the TTRPG book, including wildlife, tools, vehicles, maps, and other ephemera:
âI missed the Kickstarter, can I still pre-order the TTRPG book?â
Yes! Hereâs a link to the pre-order store: https://mysteryfleshpitrpg.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
âWhen is the coffee table art book coming out?â âAre you finished with the book?â âWhat still needs to be finished?â
The main Mystery Flesh Pit coffee table-style book is, like many other projects, paused while Iâm working on the TTRPG book. Paid projects take priority! I will continue working on it as soon as I can; much of the art Iâm working on for the TTRPG book will also be featured in the coffee table book. The biggest missing piece of the big artbook is the writing. I have much of it finished, but there is still a lot of editing that needs to be done.
âIs spectral haptics still continuing?â
Yes, but see the answers above. Paid projects take priority, and right now Spectral Haptics is third on the list behind the TTRPG and the coffee-table book. There is a possibility of me making time to create a small video for SH if for no other reason than to avoid burnout, but Iâm not going to promise anything.

In the blink of an eye | Leah Williamson x Lioness!Reader
Where Leah gets injured during a match
Woso masterlist | Words: 1.2k
-----
âBaby, have you seen my new shin guards?â You had gotten some new personalised ones that you were hoping to wear on the first match back playing for your country. Only you couldnât for the life of you remember where you had put them.
Misplacing things was a habit you had been trying to get rid of for years, but then Leah came into your life. Leah always magically knew where everything was. When you figured out her special skill of locating whatever you needed within seconds, you gave up on fighting your habit.
Instead of tearing up the hotel room to find them, Leah returned within a five seconds with your shin guards held up. âYou mean these?â A smirk played on her lips, knowing that you would always be impressed with her finding your stuff. âYouâre a lifesaver. Where were they?âÂ
âYou asked me to put them in my bag, so you wouldnât lose them, remember?â You chuckle, âDoes it look like I did?â Leah laughs with you, âNope.â You take the shin guards from her and place a kiss onto her lips, âWhat would I do without you?â She kisses you back, âLucky for you, youâll never have to find out.â
Playing for your country always made you happy, playing with the girls that had become your family over the years. The upcoming friendlies were a great way to reconnect with them and connect with the younger players joining you for their first senior camp.
Tonight was the first match, playing against Germany meant that even though it was a friendly, both teams would fight for the win like it was the Euro 2022 final all over again. You were starting on the bench tonight, while Leah led the team onto the field.
After a penalty and another goal from Gwinn within the first fifteen minutes, you watched your team fight back hard.Â
Germany was on the attack again. You watched them send the ball high and Leah jumping up. The boot of one of the players caught Leah in the head and she fell down clutching her head instantly.Â
The referee blew the whistle and showed an instant red as she ran over to the scene. The German player walked off in defeat, you hadnât even seen who it was, your eyes only on Leah. The referee called over the medical team as a few of the girls gathered around Leah. You hated not knowing what was happening while she was down.Â
You watched anxiously at the sidelines, watching the huddle of medical staff and your teammates surrounding Leah. Sarina joined in next to you, herself anxious to see Leah down as well. Head injuries were no joke. When you saw the medical staff gesture for the stretcher your heart sank. Sarina put her hand on your shoulder before stepping aside, needing to talk with the team which of the players that were warming up, were going to replace Leah.
Lucy ran up to you when she saw your worried face watching the staff put a neck brace on your girlfriend. âItâs a precaution. She hit her head hard, but is conscious. Sheâs a little foggy and she doesnât know what happened, they have to run some tests.â You nod your head in disbelief. She gives you a quick hug before continuing her run to Sarina and the rest of the staff.
There was no way you were going to continue sitting on the bench or play in this match when your girlfriend was getting checked out for a possible head injury. So, you turned on your heels as they put Leah onto the stretcher. âSarina, can I-â You didnât even have to finish your sentence, âGo. Go be with her.â You thanked her and rushed into the tunnel after them. You knew it wasnât the most professional move to leave the match, but it was Leah.
You hurriedly followed the staff walk Leah into a room. She was squinting against the bright lights, and mumbling something you couldnât quite hear. âY/n, please wait outside while we run some tests. I promise you Iâll give you an update as soon as I can.âÂ
There were no chairs in the hall, so you just slid down against the wall, fearing for the worst. It felt like hours before you got an update, even though only about ten minutes had passed since the door closed behind them.
âAlright, so it looks like she has a concussion. We of course have to wait for the hospital scans to confirm it. But right now sheâs pretty out of it. Sheâs having some trouble with her memory, so be aware of that when you go see her.â The door was open when he told you, and as soon as he finished, you walked into the dark room.
âHey Lee.â You said softly, not wanting to hurt her. âHey ehm you?â Your heart sank once more. She didnât remember you? That was really bad. âIâm kidding, hi love.âÂ
âThatâs not funny.â You said sternly, but the serious look on your face disappeared quickly, knowing that it wasnât as bad as you thought. âSorry love. Just dizzy, nauseous, and the biggest headache ever. I donât know what happened, but they said Iâd probably get those memories back soon.â
You walk the rest of the way to Leahâs side and reach for her hand. âYou scared me, you know?â Leah offered a faint smile, as her fingers curled weakly around yours. âI guess youâll have to remember where you put your stuff yourself for a bit now.â She murmured, wincing as she attempted to adjust her position.
You chuckled softly, trying to lighten the mood. "Only you would make a joke right now." She shrugged, her gaze softening. âIâm sorry, love. And Iâm sorry youâre missing the game.â You shook your head instantly. âItâs okay, nowhere Iâd rather be than by your side right now.â
After a visit to the hospital, it was confirmed that Leah had a concussion. Her memory should come back in the next couple of days, which was good news, but the bad news was that the knock was quite hard, so the dizziness, nausea, and the headaches would stick around for a bit.
âIâll leave camp and come home with you.â You were set on your decision, but Leah refused. âMy mom will come pick me up, get me home, and take care of me. You will finish camp and play, I am not letting you miss more because of me.âÂ
It took a bit of convincing, but you eventually agreed with Leah, on the condition that her or her mom would send you constant updates on how she was doing. With that deal made, you called her mom to give her an update on her daughter, while Leah got some rest. After giving her all the information the doctors had just given you, you asked her if she could come pick Leah up and stay with her for the upcoming week.Â
âCan you put her on for a second?â You look over and see that she closed her eyes, and that her chest was rising and falling in a steady rhythm. âI think she just fell asleep, but once sheâs awake, Iâll give you another call.â
You sat back down by Leahâs side, and watched the monitor carefully. The doctors said she should be fine, but still you were worried after the scare youâve had today.

the crooks are out, and the streets are grey
aka a prison pen pal au
HUUUUGE fucking thank you to @ceilidho for all of the writing advice and beta reading this and just generally being a big motivation and indulging in all of my random cod thoughts lol
this is incredibly self-indulgent. tags will be updated accordingly with a warning on each chapter when necessary. i'm a big fan of ghoap being perverted violent freaks if you couldn't tell.
thanks for reading besties. sorry there isn't any direct reader x ghost interaction yet. i promise it's coming.
you can also find me on twitter
[cw implied sexual harassment, future dubcon, explicit sexual content] 18+ MDNI
AO3
Part 1
It starts with a little slip of paper shoved under the bars of his shared cell with Soap.Â
An official notice to inform inmates of the start of a new pen pal program the following week. Some rehabilitative bullshit about encouraging good behavior and rehabilitating prisoners on track to be released within the next few years. Ghost canât help but roll his eyes as he crumples up the slip of paper and makes his way to the prison yard. Doesnât give it another thought.Â
That is until he receives a letter. Packaged in a little envelope with the prettiest handwriting heâs ever seen, addressed to the one and only Simon V. Riley: Inmate #634. The envelope had been torn open with a letter opener, read by prison staff, and searched for contraband, of course, before it made its way through the slot of his cell door. It comes in a lilac envelope and it's even adorned with a pretty little heart right next to his name scrawled in cursive.Â
Ghost shoves the pastry he swiped in the cafeteria from a new inmate into his mouth as he rips open the letter with mild interest. He lets out a snort when he sees that the staple holding the pages of the letter together was ripped out by whatever guard had gotten stuck with mail duty today. He knows that youâll have already received an angry voicemail from the prison advising you that all mail to inmates must be paperclip and staple free upon arrival.Â
He glances over the letter with disinterest, a couple paragraphs introducing yourself and one detailing your excitement about joining the program. He only skims his way to the second page where you start to ask him questions about himself before heâs crumpling up the pages to shove under his bunk. Heâll be free of this place in a mere sixteen months; doesnât need a bloody pen pal to encourage good behavior.Â
He knows that there is anger and violence rooted deep within him. On a good day, it simmers in his chest, a warm heat that lies dormant. On bad days, it burns so hot that he can feel the angry heat creep up into his throat. It makes the words that spill from his mouth cruel, and his calloused fingers twitch as he stomps his way over to the courtyard to beat the old punching bag until his shirt is soaked through with sweat and his knuckles are raw and bloody.
Not all bad days end with him wrapping his split knuckles with bandages from the infirmary. Sometimes they end with him in solitary and picking another inmateâs dried blood from underneath his fingernails. He hasnât had a bad day like that in over a year now.Â
If heâs being honest with himself, itâs only because he doesnât want to jeopardize his early release. Most of the other inmates know well enough now to leave Ghost be. The last inmate to piss Ghost off ended up in the infirmary with three broken ribs and two of his own teeth spat into his palm.Â
Poor sod ducks his head like a quivering dog every time he meets Ghostâs gaze now; surely wonât make the mistake of cutting in front of him in line at the cafeteria again. Ghost hasnât been outside of a prison in the last seventeen years but he canât imagine a civilian would try to swipe food from his plate or pick a fight with him just to see if they could win it.Â
So he lies through his teeth at every psych evaluation. Tells the doctors that the exercises they suggested are helping him manage his anger. He has a feeling they donât quite believe him, but he hasnât had an episode in over a year to justify their reservations. And since they donât question his ability to rehabilitate into civilian life, he tells himself that heâll be fine on the outside. All he has to do is keep to himself until Johnny gets released eight months after him. He just needs to behave for another year and he doesnât see how writing letters would make any difference.
He had thought that if he just ignored the letters they would eventually stop coming, but despite his obvious reluctance to partake in the program, the letters keep coming. Every last one in a pretty lilac envelope, notably staple free since the first one. He gleans little from her letters. Some young bird that signed up for this pen pal exchange. Sheâs twenty-one and has an interest in criminology.Â
Ghost decides that he hates her for it.Â
Each letter gets shoved under the bunk; most of the time he doesnât even bother to open and read them. He rolls his eyes when Soap whines and begs to trade pen pals with him. Apparently the poor mutt got stuck with some seventy-four year old retired veteran and he doesnât think it's fair that Ghost got paired with a young woman.Â
It isnât until he receives yet another letter from his unwanted pen pal, this time addressed from another country, that something finally makes him stop in his tracks. The bird is apparently studying abroad and when he opens the envelope, a flimsy polaroid floats down into his lap. He doesnât bother to read the newest letter and instead snatches the picture up between his thick fingers. He canât help the groan that escapes his lips the second he flips the polaroid picture over.
Ghost hardly even looks at the sweet smile and bright blue ocean behind her. No, thatâs not what catches his attention. His gaze immediately flicks down to the swell of her breasts taking up half of the image. What would be an innocent selfie to most might as well be a page ripped straight from a playboy magazine to Ghost. Clearly taken at the beach after a swim in the ocean, sweat and ocean water glistening on your skin, and Ghost can see the peaks of your nipples poking through your thin bikini top.Â
And fuck is that enough for him. He hasnât had a woman in, well, ever, and the guards keep confiscating his playboy magazines, so this will have to do. A low grunt escapes his chest as he reaches down to palm his cock thatâs now twitching to attention. He pauses to make sure Soap is still snoring, loudly , in the bunk above him before he reaches down to grope at his stiffening prick. Unzips himself from his prison issued track pants and palms at his stiffening cock over the thin fabric of his briefs.Â
He hisses between his teeth when he dips his hand under the band of his briefs and the rough skin of his palm tugs against the sensitive skin of his cock. Has to yank his hand back and spit into his palm before wrapping his thick fingers around the base of his cock. His other hand grips the picture of you between his fingertips as he pulls his foreskin back to reveal his swollen tip already leaking precum. It twitches in his hand as another glob of precum leaks down his prick.Â
He has half a mind to wake Soap up and shove his cock down the boyâs throat. If he fucks his throat deep enough he could pretend itâs the tight heat of your cunt clenching around his cock while he laps at one of the nipples peaking through your bikini.Â
Ghostâs fantasy is shattered the second the little shit sleeping above him wakes with a loud snort. He watches Soapâs head peek over the side of his bunk, pretty blue eyes clouded with sleep as his disheveled mohawk dangles over the metal bunk.Â
âYeh couldâve asked for a helping hand yaknow that, Ghost. Yeh know Iâdââ Soapâs voice cuts off abruptly, eyes narrowing on the polaroid clutched in Ghostâs hand and the other wrapped around his prick.
âWhatcha got there, Ghost?â Soap drawls, accent still thick from sleep.
âFuck off, Johnny,â Ghost grunts as he looks back down at your picture and gives his cock another stroke.
No use in deterring his mutt once his sight is set on a bone though. He feels the bunk shake and squeak as Soap scrambles down the ladder, the pervert already tenting his boxers as he crawls into Ghostâs bed.
âI said fuck off, Johnny.â Ghost grits his teeth and clutches your picture to his chest. Trying desperately to reimagine the swell of your tits pressed against his chest when you finally sink down on his cock. But Soap is relentless. His needy slut straddles Ghostâs thighs with a smirk on his face.Â
And fuck it, his boy is gagging for it, he might as well. He doesnât acknowledge Soapâs incessant teasing and instead fists a hand through his soft mohawk before shoving the bratâs head between his legs.Â
A low growl escapes his chest as the manâs lips wrap around his throbbing cock. And fuck, does his mouth feel good, tight and wet as his soft lips slide down Ghostâs length, throat swallowing around him. He loses himself in the feel of Soapâs practiced mouth, eyes only snapping open when Soap lets out a deep moan. Before he can even think, the palm of his hand is connecting with Soapâs cheek, hard . It draws a low moan from Soapâs throat which only serves to irritate Ghost more.
âShut up,â Ghost snaps and pushes Soapâs head down on his cock until he feels the man flinch and gag around his prick. Usually he loves to hear the whorish sounds that fall from his boyâs pretty lips but right now, heâs trying to imagine the way youâd cry out and beg as he inches his cock into the tight heat of your cunt. Ghost slaps his boy across the cheek again when Soap lets out a low growl and scrapes his teeth on the underside of his cock.Â
Soap seems to get the message, his moans and growls slowly quiet, swirling his tongue around Ghostâs swollen glands before sinking down until his nose is buried in Ghostâs pubic hair. Ghost loses himself in the wet heat of Soapâs throat once more, eyes rolling back as his head knocks back against his pillow, your pretty smile contorting itself into a cry as he bullies his cock into your cunt. His hips buck and bruise the back of Soapâs throat with every thrust while he dreams of fucking your pretty cunt full of his cum. He cums with a snarl on his lips and Johnny gagging around him. Holds Soap down on his cock as he reaches down to squeeze at his balls one last time before ripping the boy off his cock with a sputtering gasp.Â
Soap is immediately scrambling up the bed, grinding his prick against the swell of Ghostâs thigh.
âCâmon, Ghost, lemme see, just a peek I swear thatâs all I need,â Soap whines, frantically grinding his cock against Ghostâs leg. Ghost blinks as the bliss from his orgasm melts away, the bunk creaking from the force of Soapâs desperate thrusts, the man panting and grunting above him.Â
He languidly flips your photo between his fingers, any streak of possessiveness gone now, as long as itâll get his mutt to stop humping his leg faster so he can get some sleep.Â
âAh, fuck , Ghost, looks bonnie, donât she,â Soap pants as his eyes flit over your bikini photo, the grind of his hips losing their rhythm for a moment.Â
âBet âer ass hasnât been fucked yet,â Soap groans.
âMake âer take us both.â
âBet she tastes sweet.â
âPretty thing.â
Ghost barely registers Soapâs babbling above him, just grabs his ass and guides his hips against his thigh until Soap is cumming in his briefs with a low moan. When the boy finally calms down enough to catch his breath, he pulls the cum soaked briefs off of his boy and tosses them across the cell before pulling the mutt to his chest as they both doze off.
Ghost wakes annoyed, drenched in sweat and cum and Soap snoring loudly against his neck. The little shit has the audacity to grumble and pout when he makes Soap go sleep in his own bunk. When he hears Soapâs start to snore, he sits up, stealing Soapâs pencil and a spare sheet of paper. He starts scribbling words back to you. The first letter heâs responded to. His handwriting is ugly and near illegible, but he thinks you should be able to read most of it. He hangs his arms out of the bars of his cell and whistles at the guard stationed down the hall. Shoves his letter to you in the guardâs hand and grunts at him to send it to his bird.
The guard, Andrews, he thinks, scoffs snatching the letter from Ghostâs fingertips before banging on the cell door.
âMacTavish! You got a letter for your lovebird too?â
Ghost groans, already prepared for the bitchfest thatâs about to happen.
Soap awakes with a loud snort, head snapping up over the edge of his bunk and rubbing the sleep from his eyes.âÂ
âAye fuck off, you limp dick prick,â Soap growls and scrambles down the rickety bunk to press the length of his body against the cell bars as he curses the guard that taunted him. A litany of Scottish curses fall from his lips as Soap presses his forehead to the bars and goads the guard into approaching their shared cell. The little spitfire has himself so worked up heâs pacing the length of their cell and spewing insults at the guards on duty.
âI know yer playing favorites, Andrews. Think yer funny giving me some old bastard, donât yeh?â Soap hollers into the hallway and slams a fist against the bars of their cell, pressing his forehead against the bars once again, growling and swearing some more when Andrews takes a step back, barking out a harsh laugh. Ghost can practically see the metaphorical fur on Soapâs hind spike up at that, just a moment before he spits at the guardâs feet. Andrews, the scrawny little fucker, lurches forward to swat at Soapâs fists clenched around the bars of their cell with his baton.
âYou better back up and watch that mouth of yours Mactavish, or itâll be another two days in solitary for you,â Andrews snaps at Soap and shoots a knowing directly at Ghost.Â
And oh does Ghost hate when Soap gets sent to solitary. Canât use his boyâs holes when heâs locked up on the other side of the prison. The rough drag of his own fist just canât compete with the tight heat of Johnnyâs throat or arse. Especially now that heâs got a bird back home to think about. Ghost grips the back of Soapâs sweat soaked shirt and yanks him back from the cell bars, grunting at him to give it a fuck rest. Ghost retreats to his bunk when Soap finally cools off, watching as Soap flops down onto the chair at their shared desk and starts to angrily scribble in his journal, occasionally grumbling to himself under his breath. He settles back against his pillow, content with thinking about his new bird on the outside until the guards release them for breakfast. He almost feels bad about not writing to you sooner. Poor girl tired of her letters going unanswered, you really were just begging for his attention when you sent a violent inmate a photo of your tits now, werenât you?
